Ball Tags

Hello...I desperately need your help. My fiance and I have been together for the last five years. Three years ago he was working as a volunteer coach for a soccer team and the school he used to teach at. One day in soccer practice he jumped for a ball, lost his footing, and fell on his neck. He fractured a vertebrae which left him in excruciating pain. To make matters worse, as the bone healed it left a bone spur at the base of his head that pushes on the nerve bundle next to his brain stem. Gradually, as the spur grew bigger it made him paralyzed from the neck down. We have obviously put our wedding on hold to deal with this unfortunate fate. I work three jobs just to make the minimum payments on his medical bills and I take care of him whenever I am not working.
Because of the proximity of the bone spur to his brain stem, no doctor in the U.S. will touch it to operate on it. However, we have consulted with a doctor in Germany that practices surgery like this every day. He says with the surgery my fiance would be able to regain the use of most of his body with a lot of intensive physical therapy. But...the surgery costs right around $25,000 which might as well be 25 million. I spend every penny I make just barely scraping by. I know this surgery would give him back his freedom and his ability to live the way he always dreamed. Please help us...every little bit counts. I appreciate anything you can do.

Tears streaming down my cheeks, no food in the house, constant calls from creditors, fear of bleak or no future. Scared, alone, I was once a happy, yet bullied girl, a hopeful, kind young woman, now a quivering, frightened, middle aged ball of confusion, that can't even offer an explanation how life became so Un-Livable. Thank You for listening to me. Blessings to You. I am ashamed.

Please we will pay back with any reasonable terms.

Background:

I was born in Argentina, but have lived in Texas since I was 5. I had no say in it; my parents decided that’s what was best for me since Buenos Aires was so crime-ridden. I graduated high school like normal kids, went to a community college right afterwards, and worked part time to cover its costs. I got an Associate’s in Science (Nursing) and then dropped out since I couldn't afford to attend a university nor decide on a major. My GPA was a 3.4 at the time.

I'm now 25, working full time (Geek Squad, can’t do much with an associate’s), studying electrical engineering, married to my high school sweetheart, and have my goals set! I just have one thing holding me back...MONEY. Since I backtracked when I changed majors, I had a few sophomore classes to take. I'm finishing them at the same community college, and I'm registered for the Fall semester at the University of Texas at Dallas (Junior level courses). I have gotten nothing but As since I've been back!



Why I Need Your Help:

Now, you may be wondering, why can't I use FAFSA? Well, I recently obtained my permanent residence. That was a big roadblock growing up. One of the agreements I had with our nation was that I would not use federal funds (welfare, food stamps, grants, FAFSA, etc) for the next 10 years. I work full time and attend as many classes as I can per semester; I have no time for lollygagging.

Sallie Mae can only loan me so much, and banks nowadays make it very difficult to borrow from for school. All the scholarships I’ve looked for require either citizenship or full time enrollment, neither of which I am. (Can’t enroll full time because I need to work full-time to make ends meet) My father is a construction worker and I don’t know my mom, she left us when I was 7. I just sold my laptop on eBay and made myself a cheap one from recycled parts. I've tried getting internships, but I'm not deep enough into my career to be eligible yet. Nearby family members don’t have any spare cash, and don’t make enough to co-sign a loan for me….So I’m here, hoping some kind strangers can help me out.

I am a hard working student, good Samaritan, bilingual, a jokester, drug-free, do calculus in my head, pay taxes, 740 credit score, and drive a broken down Pontiac. My only goal right now is to finish school with flying colors as soon as possible; just need this financial roadblock to meet a wrecking ball.

Will you help me smash it down?

Because I believe in the power of prayer & the kindness of my fellow man, I've decided to swallow my pride & ask for help. This is not an action I am at all familiar with but am grasping at every straw to attempt to keep a roof over my family's head. We live in a modest house that we've called home for the past 20+ years.

I am a single mother who's been truly blessed with 4, beautiful, healthy children; 3 biological & a foster son that joined our family when he was 12…..he is now 23. My kids are the reason I continue to battle through what has been the most challenging, darkest phase of my 50 years on this Earth.

In the summer of 2011, life, as my family knew it, was forever changed. My son got off the school bus & proceeded to enter a crime scene upon opening the front door of the house we call home. It was immediately clear that we were victims of a daytime home invasion and robbery. A trail of splinters led straight to my bedroom door, which had been demolished in the process of gaining entrance & access to my personal belongings. Robbers took my box of trash bags & proceeded to fill them with anything that could be sold or traded. I came home to find that they had stolen everything of value that I had worked for in my 50 years of existence & everything of value that my kids cherished as well.

It didn't happen often, but on the occasion that I had a few extra dollars to spend on myself, I found pleasure in buying nice jewelry. Through the years, I had managed to accumulate a nice collection. Also, as a child, my father & I shared an interest in coin collecting. I had managed to hold on to several interesting coins my dad & I found. Weekly, he also, gave me & my brothers our allowance of a fifty cent piece each. I had somehow managed to hold on to many of these as well. I stored my coin collection in the bottom portion of my large armoire. This area is what my family referred to as "the safe." Anything of value, particularly sentimental, was given to me to be protected in the safe. A couple good examples are my, then, 10 year old son's game ball for hitting the Championship game winning grand slam home run & my daughter's horse riding medals, show jewelry & accessories, as well as a silver handled knife & sheath…….the only personal possession my foster son owned from his childhood. I carry a tremendous amount of guilt for not doing a better job of safe guarding my family's precious & dear possessions.

In addition to the lingering guilt, the robbery also resulted in life altering psychological effects to me & my family. I continue to wonder if & when I will ever fully recover & be the secure, self confident person I was before the robbery. Immediately following the break-in, I was consumed by finding out who was responsible & ways of obtaining this information…..I could think of nothing else. After several weeks of frantic guessing & running wild goose chases, I started to realize that regaining possession of my property was less likely as each day went by. I could feel myself falling into a dark, lonely place with deep despair…..& unfortunately, I was content to be there. For the next several months, I could not work, did not eat or sleep & rarely came out of my bedroom. There was a film in my head that ran & reran the events leading up to & immediately following the robbery…..filled with the "I should've"s, "I could've"s and "what ifs." I am plagued with distrust & no longer find interest in much of anything. I was robbed of far more than just pieces of property…..they stole my trust in mankind, my desire to thrive, my faith in the world & my sanity.

I have worked as a medical school curriculum manager for 21 years. As a result of my mental decline, I was unable to work for over three months which, consequentially, made it difficult to pay all of the bills. I managed to rob Peter to pay Paul for several months & kept up with everything except for my house payment. It is now in arrears nearly $5,000.00 & I am out of resources. For the first time in my life, I am facing foreclosure. It is embarrassing & humiliating & I don't know how to tell my kids that they are likely to have no place to call home in the very near future. I feel like such a failure! Even though I've been an exemplary employee for many years, as a consequence of the self doubting & tremendous stress, I am now faced with the strong potential of losing my job due to my inability to focus & my lack of desire to face each day, As if this wasn't enough for one person to handle, I am also witnessing the daily decline of my father & my hero due to end stage Parkinson's & Alzheimer's.

I'm not sure how this begging website works but if there is someone out there that is willing to make me a loan & work out a payment arrangement, I promise not to let you down.....you will be repaid! I am working hard to battle the persisting PTSD symptoms that continue to plague me. I just worry that facing homelessness may be more than I can handle. Lord, I hand it over to You coz I come to You a broken, wounded angel. I thank you for any consideration and appreciate all prayers. May God bless you many times & in many ways for your generosity & kindness!

Can I request for help from anyone? I'm in a heap off debt and I am wanting to start having a family with my wife but my looming student loans are hanging over our heads and I was just wondering if anybody could help us. Just $1.00 is all I ask. I don't need to everybody to just send off $100 dollars at a time, Just $1.00 to help me get the ball rolling. Thank you all. Much appreciated.

Hi. I am 38 years old and live in Canada. One day I watched as numerous people visited my local coffee shop. The thought occurred to me that each individual visiting this store was spending at least $1.50. The price of a medium coffee. Then I thought at least one million people across Canada are going to visit this Nationwide coffee chain. One million people times $1.50. Well that's just basic math that comes to the tune of $1.5 MILLION! This is a low ball number as this chain obviously earns more than that. If One million people put Just A Dollar each in my account, each and every one of them would get to know that they changed One person's life for the better! Its Just A Dollar. Quite possibly there is a dollar in the cushions of your couch, Under the seat of your car? Its Just A Dollar. In your pocket right now. Laying around. Its Just A Dollar. Instead of giving a coffee chain a $1.50, you can give me a buck. Heck you can give me a $1.50 if you want. You can give more than that. As much as you like. I will accept all donations. Of course the money is a driving factor in me trying this. It is also somewhat of a social experiment to see if we as Human Beings have it in us to give and know that in return they will receive a feeling of good knowing they changed someones life for the better by coming together collectively. Its Just A Dollar. Thank you so much for Being Human.

Hi, I am usually very proud but I have no where else to turn. We had to take our pet bunny in because he was acting funny. Turned out he had a huge fur ball lodged in his stomach. In addition he had a kidney infection. The Vet said he could die but thank God he made it through. After x-rays, antibiotics, other medicines and several days staying overnight at the vet he made it through. Problem now is a $2,000+ vet bill. I have no way to pay for this and the vet was so helpful he needs to get his money. If you are a pet lover you know how much they mean to you and you would do anything to get them well. Please help with whatever you can, we would really be grateful. God Bless You!

I need some Levi's Lee, (or any brand) of jeans and some khaki's also for job interviews.

Also, any kind of ball caps.

Our dream has been to open a cafe in Cambodia to assist in getting the street kids and trafficked women off the street and into a safe and stable environment. We can do this with your help.

We have worked hard but are always coming up short.
We need to be able to rent a place and buy equipment and products to get the ball rolling.

Every little helps.

We need to raise $20,000 to make this dream a reality.

We already have $8,262 saved, but yet it's not enough.

Please, please dig deep if you can afford it.

Thank you in advance.

I had posted first time ever a few weeks ago about my situation, my being ill and unable to work. A wonderful woman actually responded and donated 5$, which I was amazed, as I've never seen anything like this before. My main concern was feeding my son. Unfortunately, I got a letter from landlord saying if I can't pay rent on time (11 days past due now) he will have to sell the house. I thought food money was asking for a lot. My rent is $1050, 1180 with late fees. My son, daughter and grandaughter all live here with myself, so all relying on me.

I have finally filed for food stamps, and medical and SSDI and awaiting approval, to get back on feet, in the meantime, if we lose our home, there is no place to go. No family, definitely no money for first last and security to move.

Please, please, I beg of you, of anyone out there. Any and every bit helps and adds up. Even if I give him something, its better than nothing and he is a kind patient man who has worked with me through my illness.

I know now that I got the ball rolling with benefits, I will be able to sustain the family, just can't lose the home. I have been searching high and low for work to sustain us while awaiting approval. I always used to work 60-70 hours a week and hate not working. I have the pain under enough control to work here and there and willing to do anything at all legal. I'd scrub a toilet with a smile on my face just because I'd know I'd be working and sustaining us until everything is approved.

Please, please, any help at all is greatly appreciated, please help us save our home.

I just want to get these things paid off and get on with my life. Find ameaningless job that pays the bills and attempt to live my life out in a dark corner somewhere where nobodoy bothers me any more. i am at my wit's end. 90 calls per month from sallie mae. I can set my sleep and eating schedule by the way they call, once at 8:30 AM, once at 1:30 pm, and once at 7pm. Sometimes more depending on how they are set up, and from how many callcenters they are operating. I am depressed, hopeless, and unemployed. I have been looking through 2 HEARTBREAKING YEARS of unemployment, and my degree is useless and obsolete now. If things continue as they are I'm scheduled to retire about fifteen years after my 115th birthday. I am angry, suicidally depressed, anxious, hopeless, all of that rolled into one big human ball of failed promises, traumatic experiences, abusive relationships and broken dreams. I want to be able to heal. To get back on my feet and limp my way toward recovery, and that's how people can help me. I need to get out of debt. i can't take this anymore. i have a paypal account so please click on it. I would appreciate some help, and any amount will do. I have to get 75,000 of my back and this has proven an impossible task.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't my last resort. Life has thrown me a curve ball I couldn't catch. My daughter and I have been living with my Grandmother since early 2010 when my wife abandoned us after being diagnosed with post par-tum depression and turning to a life of drugs a few months after giving birth to our beautiful Daughter. I wasn't able to pay the rent, utilities and daycare expenses on my own so my Grandmother being the loving woman that she was agreed to put a roof over our heads while I started attending a technical school to further my education and career so that one day soon I could get a better job and be able to afford things on my own. A few months into my schooling my Grandmother fell ill. She started having problems doing daily tasks and eventually was forced to retire early. Which left her with a small 401k and a feeble social security fixed monthly income. She no longer had the money to take care of us and the tables turned on us it was I that now had to care of her. In late 2010 she was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and needed an oxygen concentrator to breathe properly. No longer able to do regular daily tasks we all take for granted. I had to put school on hold to stay home to care for her and my Daughter. My Grandmother wasn't to keen on going to a nursing home nor was I willing to put her in one when I was in a position to help her as she had done for me, we also could no longer afford daycare for my Daughter. A few months went by and we seemed to be getting along fine but, the doctors bills were piling up and we were forced to choose between the mortgage and continuing doctor care for my Grandmother. As the months passed my Grandmother continued to get weaker no matter how hard she tried to stay active by playing with or reading to her great granddaughter. In the beginning of March she could no longer get out of bed on her own. I had to carry her to and from the bathroom, cook and feed her all of her meals and generally keep her as comfortable and happy as she could be. At that time we were 4 months behind on the mortgage and struggling to keep the electricity that her life depended on, on. On June 8 2011 my grandmother passed away. She didn't have a large life insurance policy which only covered her burial and some of the doctors bills. She tried to leave me her house in her will but, probate court is trying to take it away from us because the house is going to be in foreclosure soon, we are now about to be 10 months behind, and her other reaming debt (doctors, credit cards...). So I am here today to ask for various kinds of help ranging from advice to money. I am not asking you to pay the entire debt and the house off but, for maybe enough to put my daughter back into daycare so I can find a job and hopefully save my house. In the almost 3 months since my grandmothers passing I have tried numerous ways of getting my daughter into daycare so I could find a job and be able to support my daughter and myself and possibly save the home my grandmother so graciously left to us but, to no avail.I am begging you for support. I need advise as to the best course of action to appeal to the probate court and save our home. I need the money to pay for daycare for my daughter which averages $100 a week. To pay off my grandmothers remaining debt which is close to $5,000. Pay for representation in probate court to appeal our case and to get caught up or pay off the house, we are now behind 6,751.16 on a total left of 33,514.81, and to get current on the utility bills which I have miraculously managed to keep on for the last 3 months by selling all of my worldly possessions. I am in a desperate situation and I'm begging for help. Like I said I don't expect to receive enough money to pay all of the debt but asking for enough to get my daughter back into daycare so I can try to save us. I hope you can find it in your hearts to help in whatever way possible. It would be greatly appreciated by my daughter and myself in this great time of need. I beg you for your prayers and generosity and Thank you for the time you took to read my story, Just writing it helped alleviate a little bit of stress. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Any advise is greatly appreciated and can be sent to zenkiawdsm@gmail.com. Thank you

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.

On 6/29/11 my 13 year old son called me at work crying that his ball hurt. I immediately left worked worrying that it was a Testicular Torsion. Unfortunately I was correct. I gave them his insurance card, (his insurance is court ordered to be supplied by my ex husband my little ones father). Well now I am receiving bills because my son is no longer covered by the insurance that I was told he had. I found this out by receiving the first bill. If I would have known he was no longer covered by his father's insurance I would have covered him under mine, he is now but too late to cover his surgery. So far I have received a total of $5,000.00 in medical bills and have received nothing from the hospital itself just the Anesthesiologist, Xray/Ultrasound and lab tests. I am still anticipating a hospital bill and the Surgeons bill.

Any help you can possibly gve me would be greatly appreciated.

I wish to thank you right now for your help be it a monetary donation or by your prayers. May God Bless You.

I am a single mother of two beautiful children. we have been moving from shelter to shelter for over a year and never stay in the same shelter long enough for me to secure a job. I dont expect the world as i know money is tight for everyone and there are plenty of sinlemothers that make it... I just need a little push to qualify for an off site apartment for my children and I so I may begin to look for work. The program at my shelter asks that you have $500 in the bank. Ive been saving every dime and have about $234. anything will help. This will ensure a stable place for two years so I can get on the ball. I hope this is not to much to ask. Ill try anything for a stable place for my children. Dominic,7 and Sophia, 4. They are the reason i get up to fight each day.
Thanx

I hate to ask for help..not very good at it but my wife longer works health reason and she needs to go for physical therapy 3 times a week which is a 100.00 dollars for the week but pating that and than what bills do come in I am getting behind the eight ball and fighting a battle I do not see getting ahead. I only need a little help until my job should pick up that should be in about 2 months so if you could spare some change or maybe a dollar or 2 I can stay a float thank you may Gob bless you P.S. if you can not help with money can you at least remember me in your prayers

Hi thanks for those who read my story. I'm a mom of three beautiful boys. My husband is a over the road truck driver. I have never asked for help, so this is not easy for me. My husband hasn't been able to come home in 4 weeks because he Parks his car in another state where the company he works for is located. His car broke down and its about 700.00 to get it fixed. Needs new ball joints & three new tires. The company wont let him bring the semi over state line to come home. So he has been staying with his sister. He is paying bills here & while staying with his sister helping her with bills. So that is eating up his pay check. Unable to save money to get his car fixed. :( me & especially our boys miss him dearly. Please any donations would be greatly appreciated. To help bring him home to his family. Thank you.

Have you ever had a dream?
I do.
Did you have someplace to turn to in order to realize your dream?
I don't--I have no family to help and the banks only look at my number posted by the credit bureaus. Make one mistake and you are branded for years.
Was your dream small compared to the bigger picture?
My dream can be realized probably for less than the president spends going out to lunch.
Of the millions of people on the internet, I would like 200,000 of you to send me $1.00 each.
Perhaps your dream is to make a difference or to help someone else achieve their dream. This could be your chance to get the ball rolling and maybe it will lead to society's greater good! Please hit the button below; take the first step. We can all help each other.

A couple of years ago I lost my job and got into debt mostly because I was to proud to ask for help. Now that I have a job I find that all I can do is pay minimums (or less) on the debt and I am getting nowhere. I feel i am going to be stuck here for the rest of my life. I need $3,000-$5,000 to get me over the hump and get the ball rolling so that I can, once again help myself... and someday begin helping other again.
My fear is that my failing mother or another big expense will come along before I reach that goal.
Any change, thoughts and prayers, or even just taking the time to read this helps me out and gives me hope.

Thank you for everything.

Im a single mom of a special needs child struggling to pay for therapy equipment for our home. My son, Kaden, will be 2 next month and his life has never been easy. Just a short quick timeline to give you an idea...

*Born with torticollis- had physical therapy twice a week for 15 months
*Diagnosed with severe allergies at 5 months- have to avoid milk, eggs, soy, dogs, cats, dust, pollen, mold and use a breathing machine up to 3 times a day
*Diagnosed with macrocephaly at 6 months- extra fluid on his brain
*Diagnosed with hypotonia at 6 months- low muscle tone- wears leg braces

Just when I thought I had a handle on all these therapies and treatments, his behavior prgressively bacame very strange, he would curl up to sleep in his toy box, he was constantly hitting his head on walls or the floor, jumping or purposely falling off tall objects, stuffing his mouth, wanting food and eating as much as an adult... after months of trying to get a diagnosis we finally got a therapist that understood it all.
*Diagnosed with Sensory Integration Dsfunction at 23 months- hypo and hyper sensitive to all senses- needed extra pressure to feel being touched, and couldnt tell if he is hungry or full...

In order to provide him with sensory outlets to keep him calm and able to function in daily life we need to have some things at home that are safe for him to get that kind of stimulation he needs (rather than falling or banging his head). What has been reccomended to me is a therapy swing ($1500) and a sensory ball pit ($200) those are just two things that could help him among many many other things but this is all I could see as being reasonable to purchase.

I work and go to college full time in hopes that I one day wont be living paycheck to paycheck, however at this time I am in desperate need of some help to get these things for my son to help him function day to day. I save what I can from paychecks but its never much since some months I can barely afford the bills. Anything you can help with would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading our story.
