Short Term and Long Term Help.

Posted by justneedtheboots on 2011-12-09 17:58:03

Hello all ladies and gentlemen. I am in need of whatever kind of help I can get. I am a young full-time college student, and I'm trying to pull myself up by my own bootstraps so to speak. I grew up in a crowded house with my mom, grandma, great-grandma, uncle, and little sister. I didn't grow up with much money, but I always had what I needed. As I got older my family's financial worsen as the adults started dying off. All of the adults contributed to this pot, and when we lost an adult we lost contributions that were detrimental to our livelihood. Meanwhile I was a stellar student and had aspirations outside of my living conditions. This sometimes didn't float well with my family, and it showed in their actions often. I realize now, that they probably didn't want me to discover how disappointing it is when you hit and miss. I feel like that happened to them often.
I realize this is a long story, but maybe this background information can help you understand why I am asking for what I am asking. I think I am from the first (or one of the first) generations where college was thrown down everyone's throats. We're the classic Barney, Arthur, and Sesame Street kids. I don't know if the Baby Boomers were as forced as we are. After all, this is suppose to lead to upward mobility. I was fed that if I did not take this route, then I would be destined to poverty and an uncertain future. I realize now this future is even more uncertain than what I was expecting it to be. I've learned that a college degree doesn't guarantee certainty, and that you actually need quite a bit of help just to get through.
I am and have been own my own since I started college 3 years ago. Forget not having the extra money when I need at times. I don't have a strong support system, and my house at home is almost unlivable now. I do not have my license or a car because no one practiced driving with me, and I can't afford to pay for driving school, the car, and the insurance to get me started. I got tired of having to leave campus and figuring out where I was going next and how I was going to get there, so I found a student friendly apartment. It's nice to not have to move because I usually don't have help, but I am struggling to keep it. I am desperately seeking work in whatever kind of way I can have it. I get full financial aid, but it's hard to stretch 2 refund checks over an entire year.
I'm finally getting to the point. I currently live and study in Greensboro, NC. I am a dean's list engineering student. I learn most things quickly, and I am not afraid of real work. I need a full-time job or a part-time one that will give me 20 hours + a week. I would prefer 2nd or 3rd shift, but if I have to take a break from school to get myself together I will. I will take any resources that can give me some good leads on scholarships, internships, fellowships, and co-ops. Lastly I will take any financial help I can get while I'm waiting on the others. I feel like all of these things will help me get to a more manageable point in my life. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

A Dying Request

Posted by LastingImpression on 2011-08-24 11:58:08

Today I've learned that my battle with cancer is coming to an end soon. I have been fighting this disease for 6 years and today I can't do it anymore. I would rather live my days fulfilling life dreams and a few aspirations. I've decided to dedicate alot of my time to the betterment of my children which are 9 and 10. My boys mean the world to me and I am heartbroken I may miss those next mildstones in their lives but life has to go on with or without me.

I'm looking to raise money that they can inherit and finish college with. At this point, I may only be able to dream about their successes but I can rest knowing I left them a good start. They deserve everything and more so it would mean the world to me to provide them with this gift. Thank you in advance for any donations

STRUGGLING

Posted by justamom on 2011-07-24 09:58:30

The rent is Overdue, I don't have a dime in my purse, 2 kids clinging to me for every ounce of want and need. No child support checks, no family to help, or who would care to help. Old credit card , medical bills, and other misc. charges that I've incurred over the past 10 years remain unpaid. Sought government assistance and they only give you enough to do one or the other, so it's either pay my bills or pay the rent. I no longer have a cell phone, besides the free govt phone they give you with 70 minutes a month on it. I have a car, but it needs work, hundreds of dollars of work. 35 years and I'm still striving for a destination spot. a place of rest, stability, and contentedness. Wondering when and how my load will lighten. Thinking about running away, then I look at my babies and know that they would find a way to keep me here with them, their smiles, playing, hugs, and the like. I often wonder how I ended up in this place of not knowing, confusion, heartache, toil, lack, despair, and think why me, then again, why not me? Is God trying to show/tell me something? What, I'm all ears, and eyes, you've got my attention, and have had it held there for about 5 years. Everything changed when my mom left us, everything changed when she passed. You must understand my mother was a paragon, well I guess every decent kid would say that about their mom, but mine really was. If I were to tell you about her, you would feel what I felt and others felt about her even in a moment, a fragment of a second, you would get a sense of her spirit, humor, nuture, kindness, humility, charity, etc. I could go on and on about her. but you don't want to hear about that you want to know why I am writing this, and like so many other countless stories, what makes my struggle any more worthy than the next man or womans. I am in no position to tell you that my trial is far worse, or more deserving than anothers, I am not asking for a certain amount, or for one particular thing. Anything you send would be beneficial to any and all areas of my life and that of my children. I can only say that for someone who has dreams and aspirations of someday coming out of this fog, permanately, your donations would put me in a position of independence.

Single mom trying to get her kid back.

I'm a single mother with one daughter who is 12. I have been trying to get her back for the last year now. Let me say she was not taken from me, but she is living with my grandmother only because I have not been able to afford her. My grandmother has lost her job and is running out of money for child plus I would really like her to live with me. I have tried to get child support from her dad but he has not been able to find a steady job. I do work and have an apartment now but just to get by I work 60 hours and only have one full day off . She is not doing well in school and really needs me now. I am asking for help so maybe I won't have to work so many days and really have time for her. I have aspirations to go back to school as well, so ever little bit will help. Thank you and bless you.

2nd Chance A Charm

Posted by Aelek on 2011-05-04 14:58:34

Hello, I have just recently medically retired from the Marine Corps after 13 years of faithful service. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a friend. However lately, with all the changes I have had to endure, I have felt invisible. I injured my back during martial arts training and didnt seek the medical attention I needed until it was too late. I had even gotten to half way of my Marine Corps Marathon training but had to stop due to numbness and tingling in the feet. Once I finally did try to get the medical attention I needed, I was told I had a somatoform disorder, which means the pain is all in my head and not in my body at all. After seeing a Navy shrink I was told I had a personality disorder and he submitted a Administrative discharge request to my Commanding Officer, I was devastated. I loved the Marine Corps and everything that came with it. I had no intentions of leaving it and only wanted to get better and seek proper care. Instead of getting the help I needed medically, I had to fight to keep my career and lively hood. After further tests, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a pinched nerve, carpal tunnel in both wrists and buldging discs. I had to be seperated medically. Depression is not even close to the word to describe what I fell into. My goal-dream was to be a Drill Instuctor, fight a good fight over seas and put in 20 years. In the blink of an eye it was all gone. Now I had to let go of my aspirations of what could have been and now try to figure out what I was good for now. A little bit about my self:I was raised in Austin, Texas by my maternal grandparents, left by my biological mother at 15 days old on Christmas Day 1975. I endured a strict upbringing and borderline abuse, much due to my grandmother’s fear of becoming my "mothers, daughter". I have never known who my father is and doubt he knows I even exist. I had been the witness and the victim of neglect and child abuse by my mother who was and is still heavily into alcohol and drugs. She had two more daughters in which I helped raise up until they were left in another state with relatives. It was then that I left to the Marine Corps at the age of 19, mostly to find myself and forget myself. During one tour in California, I was made aware that one of my sisters, 7 years my junior, was in need of my help due to abuse from the relative she was left with. An uncle who had abused her from the age of 6 until she was 12. I took emergency leave and went to get her, I already married with a newborn, and I knew I had to lend a hand and help. The abuse and trauma was too severe and the state of California took custody of her after a failed suicide attempt in her high school. I continued my military service until I received yet another call, this time for my youngest sister, 12 years my junior, was in states custody and if I could provide a stable home for her. I was now a single mother of a 4 year old and still an active duty Marine, but again, could not turn my back on the need she had. I put in the time and the effort, attending family counseling 5hours away and meeting with doctors and lawyers to get the process started to get her into a stable situation. Finally at the age of 14 she was placed with me and I was granted custody. I enrolled her in to high school and away we went onward and upward in our life. It was not close to "traditional" but we had each other and that was more than what most have. I received orders to Japan for 3 years accompanied and although I had reservations about the huge change I took it in stride. I had pleaded my case to the Marines about staying until my sister graduated in 2years but at the need of the Corps I was sent anyway. In Japan, after only being there for about 6months, my sister started to self mutilate again. With that the military sent me back to my previous base and committed her to a hospital immediately. After a 30 day stay and with support and guidance she eventually got to a place where she could receive the help she needed to heal. She graduated from high school and is now in the medical field working full time and engaged. After that chapter closed the new one with my medical mishaps in the Corps started full force. I am not one to really get or ask for help, and have been in the business of giving but I am hoping now in the oddest of places, maybe I can, with my story inspire someone to pay it forward and lend a hand. I thank any donation and appreciate any amounts. I am trying to start my own resale shop online and hope with some assistance I can get to a better place in my life as sometimes the future seems real dim. Thank you in advance and God bless.
I've had a rough life from the beginning! I was an unwanted child of teen parents, so I got passed around a lot. I had traumatic childhood, being subject and witness to my mother's drunken escapades and those of her boyfriends. I've been on my own since I was 16, with no family help. Determined to graduate High School, I got a job and rented a room, then graduated nine months pregnant. I had my second child at 20, so I married their father. He shortly thereafter started cheating on me and became abusive. After watching my mother being abused as a child, I vowed to myself that I would never tolerate it, so I left him. He then stalked me and broke into my apartment and strangled me. I had a near death experience, but was lucky enough to come back to care for my children. By the time I was 26, I doubled my family, because I had twins. I thought their father was my soul mate, but low and behold, he cheated on me and then became abusive too. Originally, I took all four children with me and stayed in one room, but it was so tough on my twins, as they were only 3 and weren't allowed to play where we lived. Since their father stayed in the house we were buying, he talked me into letting them stay with him, but it was only supposed to be temporary. Truly, he didn't want to pay child support. He said since I had two children with me and he had two with him, nobody would have to worry about child support. What a joke! He ended up collecting welfare, so the DCSE started collecting child support from me, even after he got married. Here I am single mother, struggling to make ends meet, while he's married and getting child support from me. To make matters worse, my daughters' father didn't pay anything. He’s also remarried. I tried to take him to court, but can't do it, because it brings back PTSD from when he stalked strangled me. One year, my income was $300 too much to get the earned income tax credit, so now I owe IRS $2000. To top it off, I had been struggling at work, due to a neurological disorder and got laid off for a while. After several months, I found another job, but then suffered a closed-head injury and got laid off. I've been unemployed for 4 years now. The child support added up, so now I owe A LOT (like $10,000)! I applied for disability, but they denied me, so I've been trying to do work for myself, but just trying to pay bills to live and care for my daughters has taken all my money, so I've not been able to get the other stuff paid off. Due to my neurological disorder, I can't work in an office environment, as it makes me very ill and I can't function. I'm currently trying to build a marketing and design business, as well as a ministry for the homeless and battered women, but I really need help getting these bills paid down. I'm starting from scratch with my design biz, as my hard drive died and I lost all of my work. I am a very creative woman, with writing, painting, graphic design, marketing and more, and know once I get things off the ground I will really do well. I need assistance getting some of these bills paid down, so I can live my aspirations. I really want my daughters to go to college, but can't support them. I wish to get caught up, so I can be more supportive of my daughters than my family was of me (their support to me was nil!).

I'm oh so tired of barely being able to pay the mortgage and get by paycheque to paycheque.
So here I am asking the universe for a favour to help me get ahead in the game.

If I can get a bunch of nice people to donate to my cause then I can pay off my mortgage and finally start enjoying life.

You see I actuallly have a game plan and I'm just having trouble getting it off the ground at the moment.

If I can raise 200k then it will allow me to pay off my current mortgage outright and then think about buying a second property to start earning passive income.

My dream in life is to eventually get to the place where I can only have to work 1 job and can actually think about going back to school. Right now due to two jobs and a mortgage I'm barely getting by with, this is not an option.

So here's me putting my idea and desires out to the universe and seeing if the laws of attraction actually work.

All I'm asking for is a wee bit of a jump start in life so that I can help myself and put my dreams and aspirations into effect.

Thanks for reading my post and for helping us fulfill our dreams of finally getting out of this debt.

Help

Posted by oneevilfisherman on 2010-09-08 17:58:58

So why are you here?

Maybe you found me on Google...

Perhaps you found a link to this page somewhere and thought this looked cool?

Or maybe you don't know how you got here... and perhaps it was merely fate... I don't know.

I must admit, I am ecstatic that you're here right now. Seriously, I'm jumping up and down like a 13 year old girl who just got asked to the middle school dance by the cutest boy in school *OMG*... not really. However, I appreciate you taking 5 minutes out of your life to come visit me.

Contrary to all of the "Donate Now" buttons scattered across this website, I made this page for you. No this isn't some type of gimmick, you are here for a reason. If you've had the time to find this page, and have actually read this far... We need to have a serious talk.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE!? Life is so short and right now you are reading a website about a guy (me) who you believe is trying to make a million dollars off of hand me outs. Why do you care, at least I'm doing something to improve my life... What are you doing at the moment?

This Is The Wake Up Call!
Life is only approximately 30,000 days long, and that's only if your extremely fortunate. Cherish each and everyone of these days, because when it's over... Life as you know it ends.

What are you doing today, to make yourself a better tomorrow? What are you doing right now that will make all of your dreams, hopes, and deepest aspirations come true? Well, before now you probably weren't doing much, but now your mind is focused on the task at hand... What do you want?

I want you to close your eyes for a moment, and deeply visualize everything that you've ever wanted in your life... Make this the most elaborate fantasy possible, and hold this thought in your memory forever. In fact, write down everything you saw in your head, and make it happen on paper, then execute. We live in a World where anything is possible, and anything you want can happen... Look at me, I made a website to generate myself luxury beyond my wildest dreams, and I barely did any work.

The lesson to be learned here is... Don't take your life for granted, make it the best one it can possibly be.

I'd give anything to go to college...

Posted by ryan0107 on 2010-08-01 20:58:58

Hi, my name is Ryan. My aspirations of devoting my life to public service and continuing my education are being all but erased because of money. My mother will not help me with my education and my father has dodged financial support my entire life. But somehow managed to stay around enough to abuse me. I have suffered being given up for adoption, physically and mentally abused and forced from my home. I was made to raise myself since I could use the oven and am no stranger to caring for myself. When it comes to college however I am afraid I am lost. I cannot get independent status to apply for loans and have only a low paying nanny job and the charity of friends to rely on for shelter and food. I am homeless. However non of this would matter if I could go to school. I want to pursue a life of rehabilitating exploited youth all over the world from abusive homes and human trafficing. I believe in humanity and want my chance to reach out and give what I never had growing up. I have always been a straight A student and I need your help continuing my success. Because I studied hard in school I am at the best university for my field and will be studying in India this year, if you help me get there. My tuition is almost $40,000 but I will take whatever I can. I have managed to save around $1000 but it will not even touch my tuition. All I'm asking for is the chance. Please help me.
