 I am a 32 yr old mother of 3 who has never been in a situation of desperation such as the one I am about to present to you.  Early last year I worked at a job which paid more than enough money to take care of me and my children.  The problem was that the hours were from 3p-3a, which gave me no time to spend with my kids.  My oldest which is of school age only seen me on tue & Wed, which were my only days off, the rest of her time was spent with my sitter.  My job also had me work holidays and sad to say their birthdays as well.  Soon my daughters grades began to drop and my young children no longer wanted to spend time with me.  They cried for the babysitter and soon started calling me by my first name.  I went to my job and pleaded with them for a schedule change, they declined stating that my personal life wasnt their problem and they have 1000's of people who would love to take my place.  So I was forced to make a decision between money and my kids, I chose my kids.  I quit my job after saving enough money to pay the bills for a couple of months while I search for a job with earlier hours.  I felt this shouldn't be a problem due my previous work experience and my associates degree.  The 3 months I had given my self passed by very quickly without me finding new employment.  Because tax time was approaching and my lease was almost up I decided to use my tax money to find a much cheaper home (unfortunately in a much less appealing neighborhood) and use the rest of the money to pay for rent and utilities for another 3 months.  I have no family who can help me out and my kids father is nowhere around.  I have yet to find employment despite the many interviews and applications I have done.  A truck recently cracked the windshield on my car, my tires are bald, and the engine is going bad.  I cannot afford to fix these things and am now desperate to find a job before I lose my transportation. I would love for a great job lead or even an agency which can help me. A small donation would also help and if you send me your email address, as soon as I get on my feet I am willing to pay it back. For those who read this if u know of some job leads please forward it to me, thank you!!

Hi I am a single mother staying a hotel room with my two children, I am employed but am having a hard time paying for one week of a hotel stay. I am curently looking for a place for us to move to but right now we are in the room. I am also currently in college finishing my associates and will in the fall hopefull will work on my Bachelors,so I am trying to better myself just fell on some harf times. Please someone help..you can send the money straight to the hotel if needed..

I saved up enough money for school but now it turns out I don't have money for living expenses. I get a work permit in November 2012, but by then I won't have any money for next year. The expenses for each of the two years is $17,000, and I saved up just for one year. I need help in making ends meet. I have been looking for work on campus and it's not working out since I was told to wait until August and September for cleaning jobs and restaurant jobs at the school. All the tutoring jobs I have applied for on campus have not materialized so far.

If I do not finish this school, it is over for me. I spent many years in the US in school since 2001, and it resulted in nothing because they didn't give me a work permit, and they did not allow me to stay.I got two bachelors degrees from there but since I did not have citizenship or a green card, I had to leave.

If I finish school here in Canada, I will get a three year work permit, and I can finally be useful to myself and my family. I need to pay back money that I owe my uncle for paying for my primary and secondary education back home in the third world. I need to educate, or at least pay for my niece and nephew who are orphaned to go to college. I need to take care of my sick mother, I have been unable to do that so far because I had to pay for my education in the US out of pocket.

I have other on going problems such as loss of sight in one eye but then that is something to be dealt with when I finally finish school, it is not as urgent as getting the money to pay for school. No matter how badly everything else is going, even with my mom being sick and my being unable to send her money for treatment, school comes first even though ideally it should not be that way.

I have been involved in community service for many years. I worked with DC Habitat for Humanity on a house construction project. I also worked with refugees from 2010 to 2011 before I had to leave the US, I was tutoring English through International Rescue Committee. I am currently working with the Food Bank where I am, and over summer since I will have no on campus jobs, I plan on getting more volunteer jobs so I can give back to the community. Canada has given me so much, a chance at self improvement, so it's only natural that I want to say thank you to this great country.

I am not scared of working, infact when I was in the US I worked full time while going to school full time. I do not want to violate the student visa here in Canada because Canada is a kind country for immigrants and they will definitely give me the work permit come November 2012, as long as I do not work illegally before then.

I am planning to move out of my homestay right now and rent with schoolmates in order to minimize my expenses. I do not usually even eat things like meat, milk, eggs, all of which I do not like or I am allergic to. So I do know how to save money. I learned to live on very little while in the US so I need money to pay for my education so that I can maintain my student visa.

Please help, my family cannot afford to pay for my education, I do not have citizenship from a developed country to qualify for financial aid or scholarships, the scholarships from back home are mostly for those doing masters degrees and PhDs, I'm doing an associates degree right now. They also insist that you must not have already left the country before they give you the scholarship. I will be applying for scholarships in the schoool, and also some bursary from my government which might be only $500, and that is only if I can get someone back home to bribe someone in the Ministry of Education to get that bursary.

I have tried all ways to improve my life for many years, and this time education truly will be a key to improving my life. I am not a stranger to subjecting myself to medical experiments in order to earn more money to pay for school. I need help this time around, this is my last try at improving my future. Going back home will be a disaster since I do not have tall relatives (people with influence) to get me jobs. What's the point of my adding myself to the millions who are dependent on others for help?

Any amount which can be sent to my Paypal account will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I am a young white female who is struggling. I don't like begging for money, but I have no where else to turn. My family can only help me out with so much, but they are struggling too. I need $300 for my rent. I have been struggling to get my associates degree, and I am just six months away from accomplishing my dream; however, I take courses online, and without a home, I have no internet, and I can not finish my dream of completing college. I am going to ask the department of social services for rental assistance, but I have to wait. They can not help me in the next week. In one week I will be evicted. Is there anyone who could be so kind hearted as to help me? If you need proof or verification that I am not lying, I can provide that. I don't have any children, but I do have two cats. This may sound silly, but I fear for them as well. I don't want them to wind up in shelter where they will be killed. I work two jobs, but I only earn commission. With the way things have been financially for society, I am now making a third of what I used too. A lot of people are struggling right now. My family always says that I have to stand on my own two feet. This I have done for many years, but what happens when your financial planning begins to fail you? I am experiencing this outcome already, but I fear the worst is yet to come. I have a plan on starting another job. If I could just get $300 dollars, I would be set for the next month and I can continue with school and proceed with my plan. I believe that even in this economy, I can succeed. I just need a little help getting there.

Thank You,
Anna

Ok so here's my story. I recently moved down to Georgia from new York. my wife, 4 kids, and myself. I have been working through a day labor company since 2004. I make 50 dollars a day through these companies. I have an associates degree in medical assisting, however I can't look for a job in this field as I have to wake up at 4 in the morning and don't get home until 6 or 7 at night. Behind on bills because 50 dollars a day doesn't pay for anything but gas and food. I can drive anywhere from 20 to 40 miles a day to get to work. All of my stuff is still in new York. My van can't make the trip back to new York to get our stuff. I guess what I am asking for is 6000 dollars. That would get me in a fuel efficient car, get my bills caught up and give us somemoney to live on untilI can get a job as a medical assistant. Which shouldn't be long as I already have the schooling. Thank you and God bless.

I have been looking for a job for over 6 months since my husband abandoned me and my 3 children. I need money to take care of them, and right now i am living off of 600$ a month trying to pay rent and all of my bills. I have an associates degree, and Im working towards my bachelors in Psychology. I have been out of the work force for a while and just need a break to prove that I am an asset to any team given the chance. Please...any leads and/or help that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank You and God Bless You

My name is Meya Acuna and I am writing you in hopes that you can (or lead me to someone who can help) help bring a Christmas miracle to pass! I am really putting my faith out here because this is something that I've never done before, but am in desperate need. I am a 30 yr old stay-at-home mother to a 4 yr old and 22 month old and am 5 months pregnant. Having turned 30 I have had a revelation that I am in need of continuing my education to not only help my family financially but to be an inspiration to my children who will one day wonder why I did not live my dreams and get a degree in education.

Over 10 yrs ago I began on the right track attending TCU for a semester but with no funds saved up for college it was soon apparent that I would not be able to finish. Much to my despair, I left Ft. Worth and began living out of my hurt by getting into drugs, lascivious living and just keeping bad company. It wasn't until I met my husband, a PK (or preacher's kid), that I realized what I was missing and that I did have hope and didn't have to carry around the shame and anger at not being able to finish school. I stayed home and worked while he got to go out and travel the world in a Christian band, living his dream while I helped to support us and when he got off the road we decided to begin a family. Well no one told us how hard that would be especially financially and I soon left work to take care of my children because the cost of daycare was too much for us (almost 1200 for the two of them!). My husband lost his job earlier this year due to a bad truck accident that left him needing two surgeries and us on public assistance. But we moved to Seguin and he was able to start work at TPS thank God. It doesnt pay all our bills but we are so thankful! We also moved back here to begin work on a ministry with a focus on our youth. We are big volunteers at our church, always making ourselves available to what needs to be done for not only our families but our community. Most recently we've assisted with our youth at the Daddy/Daughter Dance sponsered by the SPD and the Blue Santa wrapping days. It has been hard on just one income and in the past 2 years we have moved 5 times with our children finally settling in Seguin. I am from Austin and had never lived in a real community of people before. I love it here! Everyone speaks to everyone and it is not so rushed. I'm in awe of how a community is supposed to be! Parades, Holiday Strolls, wow!

This past two weeks we have done things we have never had to do before like seek help from Community Council and Salvation Army for utility assistance and visit the EATS food pantry. I'm thankful they were there but I just never thought in a million years I'd be needing those types of services. This is also what pushed me to go back to school. I need to do something bigger than me to feel that I've accomplished a legacy for my children. I won't let them suffer worry and fear the way we have recently. But I need help.

I'm pleading with you to please help me pay $982.07 to Texas Christian University before January 1st for a Loan that I owe. If I pay this loan off by then I will be free to attend a university with Federal funds to attend classes and began pursuing my Associates Degree in Early Childhood and ultimately a Bachelors in Education. I plan on getting a teaching certification and giving back to the community that helped me by working in a low-income school here and sharing my story through hard work that people helping people can make a difference in someone's life. Again, I'm not asking you for money for me or my family or Christmas presents or any "thing". I am looking to pay directly to TCU in Ft. Worth. None of the funds would go to me. I trust that what we need as a family my God will supply, because He has kept us this long and it's only going to get better. Please be a part of this transition out of a dry place into abundance. I'm humbling myself today by doing this and I trust that if you can or know someone who can, you will help me. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to sharing a good report!

I'm asking for help in the general debt relief area. I live with 3 other roommates and one is pregnant and I'm the only one with a vehicle so I've been struggling trying to make sure I don't End up homeless because my roommates got fired and couldn't pay rent because they didn't have rides. Our weekly pay range from 70 dollars up to 250. I NEED to get out of this situation! I live in an apartment complex where my vehicle was vandalized and hit and run overnight. I can't get back into school because I can't catch up on my bills enough to save for school. I'm only 2 classes away from getting an associates in general business management, it's sad. I'm 25 and almost can't make a 200 dollar car note and 200 dollar rent?! I have 2 credit cards that add up to be 3,300 dollars and I've even had to be late to keep a roof over my head. I'm also hard of hearing (completely deaf in my left ear and partially deaf in my right) and my job is very loud and isn't helping that situation. I had financial aid for college but due to my move, I failed 2 classes and since I couldn't physically be at the school to drop my classes I am now on financial aid probation. My mother is going through a tough divorce where the guy is taking everything away from her... Even her home of 15 yrs (MY HOME) has to be sold because she only makes 25,000 a year and can't afford a 900 dollar mortgage (used to be 600 until her ex came along making alot of money). My grandmother is now helping her and she's going on 84... She shouldn't be having to deal with taking care of my mom and younger sisters and I'd like to be there but I CAN'T! Please, anything will help. As soon as I get caught up and able to save the 600 dollars I need for my classes I want to start putting money into my grandmothers account to help her and my family. Thank you ahead of time. Oh and also I'm quite tired of eating beans and cornbread and having to wash my clothes in the bath tub.

I am magestic Monique. I was receiving unemployment and it was depleted and my son's unemployment was depleted and neither one of us could find work. I am being evicted from my apartment with my son. He moved out and left me with all of the bills. He was paying half of the rent.
Also my car insurance is due and I need help with that.

I have been sober 20 years and don't do drugs or drink.

I have many bills and need help to pay them. I am seeking employment and have contacted my family. They can't help. I contacted 100 churches or more and all of the organizations.

I have been checking out websites seeking employment. I had many interviews and haven't found anything.

I have an Associates degree in travel and tourism.

I have a lot of ambition and I'm looking into self employment.

Please let me know if you can help me. My phone number is 561-856-9845

Sincerely yours,


Monica Blanco

HELP ME CARE FOR YOU INTHE FUTURE!
Dearest Community Member, Business Owner, and Friend,
I am a United States citizen, born in California, and raised in beautiful Orange County. I have been a full time student at Santa Ana College for the past two years. At the same time I have maintained full time employment. I also volunteer at St. Joseph Hospital located in the city of Orange. In addition, I have had the pleasure of donatingmy time on the Labor Day weekends at the Orange Street Fair to help students of El Modena High School raise funds for their specific causes. Upon earning my Associates Degree, I have taken the leap toward accomplishing my goal and desire to work asa nurse in the healthcare industry. I am currently attending Pacific College located in Costa Mesa with the goal of becoming a nurse. Becoming a nurse takes an enormous amount of hard work and dedication. I have what it takes in my heart and soul to accomplish this task. What I lack are the funds to make the monthly payments for the next two years while attending school and working full time to keep a roof over my head. The tuition for this school is$28,500.00. My student loans max out at$20,500.00. I’m looking for a way to come upwith the $8000.00 needed to bridge the gap.For this reason I am reaching out to the community. A part time job or a donation in any amount would be very much appreciated. Please help me become the individual that has the privilege to help and comfort you and your family in the future.
Donations of any amount are most graciously appreciated.
From the core of my heart and soul, I thank you for your consideration in this matter

Hello, let me start off by saying I greatly appreciate anyone and everyone who is generous enough to help my situation. As it currently stands I am a 25 year old convicted felon finishing up a 5 year probation sentence. I have enrolled myself in college for an applied sciences associates degree in computer programming. I have always been computer inclined but my personal computer is going to be a serious hindrance on my completion of school. Id really like a laptop but just to expensive so id be very happy with building my own computer for home use. Roughly $1000 will cover my cost's to build and maintain a working computer for the field i plan to work in. Thank you and I will keep everyone updated on my schooling progress!

The strain I put on myself with bad mistakes has led me to a giant debt for my age without use of any credit cards or other stupid idea's so I really have no money to spare.

I am in major need of funds for tuition, books, supplies and housing cost. I've lost my job with the public schools and am trying to finish my education. I am a sophomore with one more year before graduating with my Associates in Health Information Technology. I will use the money for tuition, books, supplies and housing costs.

I need whatever assistance anyone can afford. I want to obtain a cheap reliable used car or the down to buy one, so that I can accept job interviews. I also want help with $, so I can obtain a legal document assistant license, in my area. I want a way to make some money, utilizing the legal research skills I have, while I seek a more permanent source of income. My local area is very economically depressed, which is why I am seeking out of town good paying jobs. I have had to cancel countless interviews, for lack of transportation, which leaves me feeling hopeless.

This downward spiral began, when I was diagnosed with cancer, 10 plus years ago. Instead of being able to gain valuable work experience, I was forced to fight for my life, upon college graduation. The gap on my resume, is not easy to explain away. I have tried to work temporary jobs, and have even worked as a substitute teacher. I would take just any job, but cannot afford to lose life-saving medicine, if my state provided medical benefits were cut, due to a job that would not offer them or the ability to purchase them. I thought subbing would offer me the chance to gain working experience, but I had to stop, due to a custody battle, waged against me, by my vindictive ex and his legal associates. They also waged numerous phony allegations, about me, with various agencies, one of which is the one which oversaw my employment. Despite nothing coming of the allegations, the agency overseeing my employment, sat on the matter/s for years now, which has left me in limbo, with no means to clear my good name, and no income source. This further added to my resume experience gap. It is nothing I can explain to potential employers, either.

The past several years has been difficult with all the medical and legal issues, both mine and my younger child's. My sibling was sent to war around the same time my parent committed suicide. This also cost me financially and mentally. My car was repossessed, destroying my credit rating further. This has hindered my ability to attend interviews, and even bar me from some opportunities, due to poor credit. The icing on the cake- the family court rewarded my ex for quitting a higher paying job. They cut his child support payment in half, for my 6 year old. Recently I had to move into a new place, and now owe money for the deposit. I had to use what little I was trying to save for a car, so I wouldn't end up homeless. My older child was working, too, but was put on bed rest, so we now face another income drop. I hope someone can help with anything, because I just do not know what to do anymore.

Hello! I need to pay for my last four classes to finish my Associates Degree in Health Care Administration. It will cost me $6000 to do so. I have tried everything to get the money including trying to find a second job so that I could use that money for the classes. I have been unsuccessful in all of my efforts. I have even tried to go to the military to be able to finish my degree while serving my country. I was turned down because I already have the student loans. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! -Creditless

i am a single woman living in a house that is thankfully paid for but i missed my property tax installments last year that equal $607.00 even. I was notified that someone is paying my unpaid taxes in hopes that i cant come up with the money to pay them and keep my home. This is hard for me to ask for help in this way but i dont know what else to do.....i am 34 and i am finishing my associates in business soon but that limits the amount of time that i can work at my job which pays only a fraction more than minimum wage. i appreciate any help anyone out there can give me ....thanks to all my email is karimae83@yahoo.com

Hello all. I am a 31 year old woman who is in need of divine intervention. I have worked hard my whole life, worked full time since high school, and scraped by with no help or assistance. I put myself through college on my own dime, but had to stop after I received my associates degree because I ran out of money. I have always tried to do the right thing in life, but always seemed to have a rough time of it. Finally, my luck started to change a few years ago when I met the man who I thought was the one. I fell madly in love. I would do anything for him, and it seemed he would do the same for me. While he did not make a lot of money, with our finances combined life was much easier than I had ever experienced. We decided to move to Florida from up north because his family was here, and he wanted to be close to his aging parents. I had always wanted to live in warmer weather, and I would follow him anywhere, so we packed up our lives and moved south. Now, two years later, my world is upside down. My fiance had a child with another woman and has now dropped me like a bad habit. That alone, devastated me so badly that I didn't know if I wanted to live anymore. But I tried to pull myself together. I still wake up in the mornings and feel like someone died. Four days after the breakup, I lost my job because the office I worked for shut its doors. I have never had to accept unemployment, or any other kind of assistance in my life, but I had to file. I am still waiting to be approved for unemployment. And then, today I went to the dentist with the intention of taking care of a long-standing dental problem that I have been saving for about a year. I found out that another tooth is decaying under a crown and I need a total of $5,450 of dental work done. This is after I have already lost a tooth (a back one, thank God) because of another failed root canal and crown a past dentist had done. And I was unable to sue her because I found out two weeks after the dental malpractice statute of limitations had expired. I am just so sickened and saddened by the turn of events my life has taken. I know that everyone always says that what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger, and that may be true. But I can't help but feel so hopeless and helpless in my own life right now. I have already sold almost everything I own to try to put money together to move back to my home state. Because I am also getting kicked out by my ex fiance. He acts like he doesn't even care. It makes me feel stupid and used that I ever cared about someone who obviously never cared about me. I am begging for help. I know times are hard out there for everyone right now. But I have no one else to rely on. Any donation that you are able or willing to give would be immensely appreciated. I am a real person. This is my life right now. I know this may sound ridiculous to some, but anyone who has ever been in a situation like mine can identify with what I am going through. I have no one else to rely on. I have no pride left. Any amount would help, even a dollar. I will take the time to send a heartfelt thank you to every single person who finds it in their heart to help. Please. I'M BEGGING YOU! Thank you.

I would like to start by saying thank you to those who are willing to donate to those in need!

I am a single mom to an 11 year old son. I lost my job in October, 2010, and I have not been able to find work yet. I have done some odd jobs here and there, including online work. I sold my van, used my taxes and utilized every means available...and now the money has run out.

My son needs me to be there for him, as he is having a lot of emotional issues this year. His behavior in school, and after, has caused a lot of disruption in our lives, making it difficult for me to look for a regular 9-5 job. I do not have family close by, and he needs the one-on-one attention right now.

After I lost my job, I decided to go back to school to get an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. Financial Aid is taking care of my school right now. The thing that we need help with is the rent and groceries (he's growing and eating, eating and growing - over 2 inches in just 2 months!).

I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer that will cover the necessities for the next 2 or 3 months. As I said before, I am doing some online work, and I am hoping that this will give me the opportunity to get caught up.

God Bless.

Hello,
About a year ago my husband and I were both laid off from our factory jobs within a few months of each other, and we decided to take this opportunity to go back to college. We are both in our 30's, and have been married for 11 years. We both are about to go into our second year of college for associates degrees and the money we had set aside for school is almost gone and on top of that we also have a balloon payment on our house coming due in less than a year. Any donations to help us get through our second year of school while still being able to save for our house payment would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I am going into the medical field and my husband is studying computer technology.

I was married for 15 years and lost my husband. He was the sole bread winner in our home. Shortly after I lost my home and belongings. I am unemployable due to health issues and lack of skill sets. I now have a 4 yr old daughter and we are homeless staying from place to place.

I have applied for disability and am able to get food stamps but have no way of providing shelter for us at this time. I am trying to go back to school to gain an associates degree in a field that I can work in with my health issues. We have no family or friends to assist us or help out.
My current health conditions which are out of control are
Diabetes
Nash Liver (was told I could need a transplant soon)
COPD Emphysema
and Congestive Heart Failure disease.

In order to get through the next two years of school I need a stable place to live that is sustainable. I do volunteer work currently to keep the food stamp and 225.00 a month I draw from the state. Rents here are 600 + per month plus utilities. I have tried seeking grants and possibly student loans to cover the cost of my housing for the next two years but I keep hitting a brick wall with those.

I need to raise 20,000.00 by the fall semester this year and additional 25,000.00 by March of next year. This will provide me with shelter, utilities, transportation, and school needs for the next 2 years I am in school.

I tried going to school last fall but I was living out of my car with my daughter and it was not doable at that time. I need this help to reconstruct my life so that I can provide a life for her in the future. I am all she has and she is literally all I have.

Any donations to this goal would be appreciated.

I am a single mother of two teenagers and two small children. I am a nursing student, my expected graduation date is March of next year.
I've made many, many bad choices throughout my life, resulting in trying to support four children on little-to-nothing.
I have accepted responsibility for my negligence, and have improved myself by leaps and bounds.
I finished my Associates Degree last year in medical management and immediately enrolle in a nursing program.
Also, I volunteer regularly at a womens' abuse shelter. I have been doing that for about five years or so.
In the past, I was supporting the family with financial aid money and child support.
However, we took a huge hit when child support stopped coming.
I need help with just about everything from childrens' clothes to car repairs, to engergy assistance.
I can provide character references as well.
Please help.

I have been looking for a nice reward for my two years, three months and eighteen days of sobriety.

After nearly eighteen years of daily drinking gin excess of a case of beer plus a day I made the life saving decision to quit. I spent two weeks in my bedroom when i was not working trying to cope with excessive withdrawal symptoms to include; severe shaking, cold sweats, never ending headaches, and food deprivation.

At the end of those two weeks I entered myself into a rehabilitation facility and began the process of becoming clean and sober. Through-out this entire time I worked a full time job, became the only employee for the company to specialize in installation, and tried to keep my marriage and family together.

I have since enrolled in Adult education classes and completed my Associates Degree in Human Service Management, began my Bachelors degree in Psychology on my way to becoming a Chemical Dependency Councilor for Troubled Teens and at risk Young adults.

I would like to reward myself by building the one and only Hotrod vehicle I will ever own. I have a specific idea of what I would like my Hotrod to look like including drive train, paint, and interior. A basic Hotrod in the fashion of the Classic Roadster on a Budget is my goal.

In order to achieve my goal I am in need of approximately $2500 for the frame, body, and running gear. I have an engine and the skill and desire to complete this "Reward to My Sobriety" in the next eighteen months.

Any and all assistance in allowing me to achieve this goal are very heart felt and appreciated. All progress will be documented and updated on a monthly basis for all contributors to see.

Thank you for your consideration and time in reading my request for assistance.

Have a great day.
