Since today is Mother’s Day, I wanted to share my journey thus far and what it’s meant to be a mother for me. My story is unique in that I’ve overcome various obstacles to gain what some may call normalcy. Now I’m facing a struggle in which I’m hoping to tap into the kindness of the internet in order to help me through this hurdle.

I was raised by a single parent and grew up in a town where most families were on some sort of government assistance and could barely make ends meet. I was always taught to value what I had and that hard work will always bear its fruits. My high school was filled with kids who didn’t care about getting an education. I was a introverted “nerd” who took Honors and AP classes and saw education as a way to get out of a town that didn’t have much opportunity for growth. While I valued my education, I was also bored to death, even in my “accelerated classes,” so I stupidly acted out and started to party as high school kids do. I ditched class to drink and dabbled a bit in drugs because there was nothing else to do. Even as I partied, I still managed to remain on the honor roll for all 4 years. Fast forward to the beginning of my senior year, our class had 250 kids and throughout the year approximately half of the student body dropped out at one point or another, giving up on their 14 year investment in their education. I made it to the end, but while everyone was excitedly responding to college acceptance letters, I had to throw all of mine out. Why? I was pregnant. I fully accept responsibility for my actions, but sex was not talked about in my household. I had no idea I had access to birth control or condoms and foolishly made a mistake that would change my life. I went to my prom and graduation 3 months pregnant without anyone knowing aside from my family.

The summer after graduation was spent brainstorming options and finding a job to help support my unborn child. I decided to keep the baby, thinking I would give it up for adoption. I was too immature to take care of myself, and now a baby? No way. As the months progressed, I fell in love with the baby and decided to keep her and raise her with the help of my family. I was excited but deep inside I was depressed. I really wanted to go off to college and live the life of a student living on campus, making new friends, staying up late to cram for midterms and possibly travel a bit. I couldn’t do that anymore and the thought of experiencing college in any other way didn’t entice me. I also knew if I didn’t get an education, I’d be stuck in a cycle of dead end jobs all my life. I knew I didn’t want to struggle like I’ve seen my family fight just to put a decent meal on the table and keep the lights from getting shut down.

I started college two months after my daughter was born. She was perfection and an incredible motivator. I’ve always thought that she deserves something better, beyond what I can give her but I decided to try my best to give her an amazing life. Since I just had a baby, I wanted to explore the opportunities I had outside of a traditional classroom in college. Luckily, the local community college offered online courses which only required me to be in class on the first day, at midterms and during finals week. I did this for a year and a half until I took every online course possible. Then it was time for full immersion into college. Here came daycare and having to balance college life with working and a small child.

My average day in college looked like this: we’d have to wake up at the crack of dawn so my daughter and I could ride a 45-minute bus to school. Unlike most of my classmates, I had to dash straight from work to class or go to work right after class so that I could pick up my daughter from school at a proper hour. I was very fortunate to land a job in a small office as an office assistant during college that would later prove invaluable. The pay was ok, but I was allowed to tailor my schedule to be compatible with my changing class load every semester. After our day was done came another bus ride. Once we got home, I’d have to make dinner, pack us lunch for the next day, prepare her backpack with extra clothes plus wash and prepare a day’s worth of bottles for my daughter. After I put my daughter to bed was the only time I had for homework. I’d stay up until about 2am every night doing my reading assignments or writing papers only to have to get up 3 ½ hours later to start my day again.

I did this every day for 5 ½ years.

Was it worth it? Heck yeah. I got my bachelor’s degree on my wall as proof. I am the first person in my family to ever get a degree. I have multiple relatives my age who ended up dropping out for various reasons yet I managed to graduate (with honors!) while juggling a small child and a demanding job. Aside from raising my daughter, this is what I’m most proud of thus far. I read online that less than 2% of teen moms attain a college degree before age 30. I’m stoked beyond words to be a part of that 2% (Source) I hope that this struggle and success will set an example to my daughter and show her that hard work does pay off.

After college, I worked a few jobs that I wasn’t too keen on. Too corporate, too stuffy, too bureaucratic to evoke any change and make an impact. I wanted to wake up every morning and feel inspired to go to work. I didn’t just want a paycheck, I wanted to engulf myself within organization so that I could kick ass and take names. I also wanted a 401(k), health benefits and life insurance so that my bases could be covered in old age. But mainly I wanted to wake up invigorated every morning and be able to pay my bills. After college, my daughter and I moved into our first home. I loved waking her up in her room filled with the girliest of things. I was a proud mama–on my own, college educated and living life as an independent woman.

Independent but unfulfilled. That is, until I was introduced to the CEO of my most recent employer. We hit it off immediately and within two week was offered the chance of a lifetime. I was invited to join his multimillion dollar company and close-knit team as his right hand. I’d learn all the in’s and out’s of running a business in a dynamic industry and receive a nice salary. After a bit of contemplation, I decided to resign from my stuffy job to join a company I was proud to be apart of. My job was great. It was flexible, nurturing, educational and insightful. In a few short weeks, I was in the trenches with my boss handling everything from sales to contracts to finance to HR. That is, until the company suddenly went out of business. I won’t get into the details but I was told I’d have a month before we were all let go. This was the job I wanted to settle in and dedicate years to, not just a job really but a mission to which I was dedicated.

I was laid off in March with no severance pay as the company had nothing. I had a small savings which I tapped into as I began searching for a job. I had to file for unemployment for the first time, which was hard as I’ve prided myself on not having to use government resources to pay my bills. I have almost a decade of solid work history and yet I’m struggling to find a job. Places are hiring but they’re scarce and don’t always offer pay that can support a family.

My bills are piling up and I have family and friends that are in no position to help me out. Unemployment can only pay so much and it isn’t enough to put a home-cooked meal on the table or keep everything paid. I’m in the process of starting up two businesses–one that peddles vintage finds and another that provides folks with stellar resumes to land their dream job so that I can increase my cash flow, but in the meantime, I’m asking for any donations to my cause. I’m willing to offer any services in return for a donation over $30 via paypal. There’s a button below where your transaction will be processed safely and gratefully!

I recently got my Bachelor's Degree in Writing and English in Grand Rapids, MI. The economy out there is terrible, so I took a train to Seattle, WA. I'm currently staying with a friend in Bellevue.

Pretty soon here, I'm going to have no money. My friend wants rent money by June 1st - $400. I can't afford to eat and pay him rent at the same time.

My beg is for any money you can possibly spare - just enough to get a meal or two would be nice enough. I've applied for over 35 corporate positions in the last two days, and countless minimum wage positions.

Work is also acceptable. I am a published writer, and I would be happy to edit/proofread/write documents for you in exchange for money.

Thank you

Yes, I used to be a stripper. I have made some poor decisions in my life, but would like to put the past behind me and live a more philanthropic and spiritual life.

So here it is: I cannot receive my federal aid because of the 150% limit. Basically, I was unsure of what I wanted my major to be, and I took a lot of classes. Now I have a financial aid hold on my account, and I cannot register for the summer semester.

I only need 2 MORE CLASSES to graduate.
If I can pay my tuition for this semester, $1690.49, I can register for summer classes.

I need to be done with school so I can make a career for myself. Going back to stripping is not an option; the emotional, physical, and mental stress is too much.

I promise to you I will make a difference. A bachelor's degree is in the plan, and I enjoy helping others.

Please help me. Any amount will help.


This is a link to a screen shot of my financial aid holds...

I am legitimately in need. I will talk with you on the phone, skype, whatever it takes to prove I am real!

I am desperately seeking some kind of financial help for my son. He is a senior in college and he/we have exausted all means to pay for his last semester. when he first started in 2008, we tried to pay for his tuition but it was taking everything we had. Eventually i filed for bankruptcy which entitled him to get more financial aid money. Now in 2012 he has one more semester to go which will include his internship and one class. We found out that he is not entitled to anymore student loans under a bachelor's degree program. He is not eligible for Pell because our income is just a little over the alloted amount. We have exausted all other means. He needs $2800 to pay for his last semester. The money needs to be paid by May 21,2012. I am trying everything possible to get this money. We were depending on some funds from a WIA program but found out only 2 days ago that was not going to pay. Now with May 21 being only 3 weeks away, we have no idea where the money will come from. My son is 22 years old and will be the first out of my family to recieve a bachelor's degree. He is the youngest of my mothers 9 grandchildren and the only one who will have a degree. He has been trying to find a job and was only able to find a job through a temp service that lasted only about 3 months. If you are not able to donate and know of any other funds available please pass it on to us. Any amount that anyone can or will donate will be appreciated and i am sure you will get a blessing.

Hello my name is Mel and I am in emergency need of financial assistance as I left my job to finish my college degree last year. All was going well as I am 27 years old and I have my own place, car, and am very independent. My boyfriend was living with me for free and he drained my funds including my 401K retirement account that it took me seven years to build. The intention was he was going to pay me back and find a job as he was fired last July. Unfortunately, he never even tried. I spent all of my money around Christmas time spoiling his three children in which I was not allowed to be a part of their lives. He left me two months ago for their mother who is abusive and I have never been in such a bad financial situation in my life. I have managed to sell some of my belongings to cover last months rent. I am now actively looking for full time work and may have to not finish my Bachelor's degree in Sociology and I only have one semester left at the University. It is my goal to stand strong on my own two feet and I will do everything in my power to come back up from this and not let it bring me down. Any and all donations will help me until I can find employment as the economy is so bad I cannot find a decent job in my trade of Accounting/Office Management in my area. The good thing is once you hit the ground there is only once place to go from there and that is back up. I have no where else to turn or I would not be posting this on here. I hope that you can help someone today after reading this because there truly are genuine people out there in the world they are not all scammers. I happen to be one of the realest people, that is how I got in this sticky situation. God Bless you all.

Hello my name is Mel and I am in emergency need of financial assistance as I left my job to finish my college degree last year. All was going well as I am 27 years old and I have my own place, car, and am very independent. My boyfriend was living with me for free and he drained my funds including my 401K retirement account that it took me seven years to build. The intention was he was going to pay me back and find a job as he was fired last July. Unfortunately, he never even tried. I spent all of my money around Christmas time spoiling his three children in which I was not allowed to be a part of their lives. He left me two months ago for their mother who is abusive and I have never been in such a bad financial situation in my life. I have managed to sell some of my belongings to cover last months rent. I am now actively looking for full time work and may have to not finish my Bachelor's degree in Sociology and I only have one semester left at the University. It is my goal to stand strong on my own two feet and I will do everything in my power to come back up from this and not let it bring me down. Any and all donations will help me until I can find employment as the economy is so bad I cannot find a decent job in my trade of Accounting/Office Management in my area.

I was in a masters program, but I couldn't juggle schoolwork and raising my son at the same time, so I withdrew due to my grades. That was back in December, so I was able to pay off January's rent. I filed my taxes as soon as I got my W2s and got my tax refund, which I used to pay my car payment in advance (as I was behind on that for several months), my past due bills, and rent for two months. I thought I'd get some employment, but I'm either horrifically overqualified for most entry-level work(2 bachelor's degrees) or a bit too underqualified for nearly everything else. The sweet spot for jobs that I'm qualified for aren't here where I live.

And I've called private charities, talked with the government, and asked friends and family. The charities are all underfunded, the government gives way too little to pay rent with, and my friends and family are living from paycheck-to-paycheck and can't swing enough my way to pay rent.

I just want enough to keep a roof over my son's and wife's heads until I can get some gainful employment.

Am a 28 year old from Africa with one kid. My huband threw me out of the house simply because he met a younger prettier woman with whom he sired a kid while we were still married/living together. He wants nothing to do with me and our 5 year old son. Now i have moved back home to my mother's house, I have to pay for my son's schooling, buy his food, keep clothes on his back and yet i have no job. I have been looking for a job for the last 4 months to no avail. I have a Bachelor's degree but i have no experience and connections the 2 critical ingredients to getting a job on this side of the world. The only little money i had when i was chased away from my matrimonial house i used it to pay for my son's school fees for the first term of the year and now he's closed school for Easter i have no idea how am going to raise school fees for next term which resumes in a few weeks. I'd like some help starting over, money for paying rent deposit and rent plus also money for my son's schooling as i look for a job. My mum's house is so small, she is diabetic and i dont want to add to her many problems and stress. I can be contacted on jemytoni@gmail.com. Thanks alot for reading. Any help will be higly appreciated and when am settled i will donate back every penny.

Dear Generous Person,

My name is Carol, and I live in Philadelphia with a Bachelor of Science degree. I have struggled to find a job after graduation so I had to move back in with my parents. However, my parents live in a small rural town so the only jobs I could find were minimum wage with no room for growth. I took a risk and moved back to Philadelphia with the little money I had in hopes of finding more opportunities. I lived off of what I desperately scraped together and a tiny bit of accident settlement money. I finally found a great opportunity, but I just started and it is commission based, so I won't be getting a paycheck for a few weeks and my rent is due. I have nothing to my name and I have nothing left to sell. I want to stay here to see this wonderful position through. But I need to pay my rent in order to go to work. I would love to reciprocate someone's goodwill and help by paying it forward to someone else who needs help.

Hi, I am in desperate need of some assisstance, bills are through the ceiling and i'm finding it extremly difficult to make ends meet. I am drowning in student loan debts my credit is shot, credit cards are maxed out,my life consists of working my part time job and attending school, I can no longer afford rent or the utility bills, eating is now a thing of the past. I'm receiving constant phone calls and letters from loaners reminding me constantly how much money I owe them and how much past due I am. As of today i am $16,300 in debt including all my student loans, credit card bills, and the last two monthes of rent and utilities that im behind on. Please, anything you can spare will help me make it through these hard times and finish getting my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. Thank you in advance.

Hello There,

I am a Psychology student at an accredited college in Pennsylvania. I am in my final year and have learned that I am one credit course short from receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I need to go to Summer School to complete the final course, but do not have the funds available, nor do I have any more loan options. The course with text book rentals will be $2,857.50. I have tried to earn scholarships, but none have been granted. There is always some in more need. I hate having to do this, but this is the only option left for me.

My parents are barely making ends meet, and have gone without just to help me finish school. I implore anyone with a heart to help me. I walk to my school and see the homeless and needy asking for spare change beside the road and have given a dollar or two when I could. The roles are now reversed, only no one seems to be willing to extend a helping hand. Please help me.

I thank you in advance for reading my plea.

Hey everyone. I've been dealing with panic disorder and agoraphobia for about 10 years. I'm currently 28 years old and am almost finished with a bachelor's of science degree. It has taken me almost ten years to complete, but I refuse to give up. I live with my parents still and sell things on ebay, try to do daily jobs, and take classes either on campus or online. I do not have medical insurance and I really need to have my eyes checked, a doctor's check-up, a dental cleaning, and money for Sallie Mae bills. Food, gas, and hygiene money aside. I've pretty much run out of things to sell and my parents don't have enough money of their own to support me. I have applied for HIP but am still on the waiting list after two years. I think it's pertinent to mention that I apply for jobs daily online. I do not sit around and wait for hand-outs. A lot of the jobs I have managed to obtain, I lost due to panic attacks. If I need to "step out" for a few minutes to collect myself, the employer doesn't understand. It's very frustrating because I try repeatedly with the same results. I would love to be able to see a psychiatrist, but again, I cannot afford it. I belong to online self-help communities and try to give myself the best therapy I know how. I have potential -- I know I can offer a lot to people if I can just get out there. If anyone could help me out with any amount, I'd be unbelievably grateful. Not really sure where to go from here.

I just graduated with a bachelor degree in psychology. I've been out of work for just over two years and am still hunting hard. I no longer drive, so a good friend of mine gave me a month pass for transit so I can keep jobhunting, but I would like to pay her back the $92. Please help!

Hello,

In or about October, 2009, I gave birth to a baby, who,from birth was diagnosed with a terminally ill disease.

She resides in New York, at a faciLIty catering to chidren with special needs.

Since birth up until June 2011, I stayed with, and cared for her at the facility.

She is now 2 years old and much stronger.

Thanks be to God.

In an effort at obtaining gainful employment,I moved to Maryland, in or about, June, 2011.

However, to date, and despite my having a Bachelor's Degree, I have had no success in relation to the same.

I would very much like to go and see my baby, but to do so requires my having sufficient funds in order to pay for th bus ticket as well as to pay for accommodations. None of which, I have at the moment.

Understandably, I need a job to do so.

I'm not necessarily seeking employment in any professional capacity, but, rather,in any capacity I might be suitable for.

I am available to begin working immediately.


Respectfully

I am a college student, who is just a few more classes away from obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Physics. For most of my college career I have depended on Financial Aid and family to help but now I have found myself with very little money to pay for books and other items.

I have tried applying for job but I can never get my foot through the door.

So now I beg you, the people, to kindly consider donating to me. I am hoping to get at least $400. Every penny from you counts. Thank you! :)
