Need help with medical

Posted by dazeodrew on 2012-05-18 18:58:58

I need prayer and help.
All was well just a year ago. I had a good paying job, a beginning side business, and a blessed life. I left my job to move 2000 miles so my wife and I could care for her mother. I used my savings to rent a home for us and paid months in advance to cover us while I looked for work.
I have been unable to find work, my mother-in-law passed, my wife was diagnosed with cancer and we no longer had good health coverage, and my savings ran out. My small side business can only provide enough to cover the basics and since there is nothing left over, it cannot grow. We are 3-4 months behind our bills and all are getting impatient. The medical care my wife needs is about to end if I can’t make a payment in the next few days.
I am a disabled veteran of Desert Storm and am limited with some of the work I can find. It has been a struggle to try to stay positive and hopeful this past year. The same banks offering loans when times were good are denying any assistance now that times are bad. I pray daily for a change.
As I started in this letter, I need prayer and help.
I know God hears me and has a plan for me and even in our circumstances, I never doubt His love for me. I just need more voices to reach out and let Him know I need Him more than ever at this moment.
Thank you.

please help!

I have 5 kids, my last pregnancy was twin boys. My kids are in elementary school and middle school. As a single mom, I cannot afford the basics of life, food, heat and shelter. I try my best working for 8 dollars a hour part time while they are at school. My oil is just about out. I put in an application at social services and they said they would call for the interview but they have not. God help us, if you need help from the government and social services you will get the run around until they hope you give up. Thanks so much for letting me vent this out. Merry Christmas, I still have the spirit and hope to continue.

I'm 23 and alone...you're nice already

Posted by kaenor on 2011-12-12 22:58:05

Hi everyone. If you're reading this, thank you. Let me say upfront, I'm not asking specifically for money. I'm just going to spill my guts about this hand I was dealt.

I've had a hard life. My mother passed away when I was 12, and my father passed away at 20. He left me a lot of debt and a house to maintain.

The stress of all this has given me problems. I started having panic attacks and was hospitalized for a cardiac arrhythmia. Recently, I developed optic neuritis. I'm working on getting Medicaid to cover some of my costs but right now I'm in debt about #1000.

There is one blessing in my life, a relative who pays my internet and utilities. He also helps me with food. But that's all he can do. He goes without to provide me with that. Otherwise I'd be homeless, hungry, and who knows where.

So I'm blessed to have the basics in life. But there's so many things that I need that I have to beg other people for. My family is...not so supportive. All I have left are aunts and uncles, all except one on my mom's side. My mom's side of the family pretty much abandoned me when she died. They put me though shame and humiliation when I ask for help.

I want a job, but I live in a very rural area. I've applied s o many places up to an hour away but I don't hear anything back. Recently I applied for some state jobs which I'm hoping might come through.

These are the things I need and things I want, so you know what my intentions are.

Need:
Toilet paper.... :( The way I've been getting it now is to go into public restrooms and putting some in my purse. I feel wrong about this. But what can I say, it's a necessity?

Personal items...I won't go into detail but I'm talking about um, feminine ones. I get the Dollar Store brand kind, but even then it's too much. I've had to go without it which is very hard.

Hygiene items...I stopped using soap and shampoo conditioner. I would love to...I feel dirty honestly. But I can't afford anything. I only use deodorant every few days because the bottle is running low and I'm trying to make it last.

House items...I need dish washing soap. I can't afford paper plates and am just washing dishes with hot water now. Sometimes I cant' clean it all the way through that way, but I just have to forget it. I also need laundry detergent. I'm almost out of a huge bottle that I have made last over a year. It was Sun brand from the dollar store, and I loved it. I'm all about generic.

Gas money...My car is an old SUV, and it takes a fair amount of gas. I try to limit when I drive. But it's a necessity since I live alone and in a rural area. I have to drive to run errands, go see the doctor, go to job interviews. I usually beg for this the most cause this is one of the things I can't do without.

Medication...I'm on two heart medications because of my arrhythmia. It's important I take them. I tried taking them twice per day instead of three, and I had horrible palpitations. So this is kind of my priority. As I'm still uninsured, both medications cost about 12 dollars a month.

Okay those are all things that I feel I need. Now, what I "want".

Clothes...I haven't bought new clothes since 2007. That's when my dad got diagnosed with cancer. My shirts have holes in them, so do my jeans. I got them from Goodwill originally most likely, I like to be frugal. The only person I have is made of linen and has a hole so things fall out of it! I've lost weight and I have had my jeans fall down in public. It's bad. I only have one bra and it's way past it's prime. I would love a little money to buy some basic things. Jeans that fit, some cotton T-shirts, a purse. Maybe even something for job interviews? I think part of the reason I get denied is because I show up in jeans and a T and flip flips. But that's all I have.

Beauty stuff...Okay, this stuff is totally not worth your money, I get it. But I just thought I'd list everything. It sucks being a young woman who can't feel pretty. I'm unwashed, my clothes make me feel like a hobo. I see other girls my age in class (I attend college part time thanks to financial aid) looking and smelling beautiful. I mean...

I just want a hair cut. Recently, I hacked about 6 inches off myself with scissors. It's not pretty. I just want a little powder and some lip gloss to not feel so plain. I just want a spritz of perfume so that there's something beautiful in my senses. I daydream about when I used to wear cute clothes, go to a salon. Wear mascara and paint my names. Ahh...But this is just a dream. I don't expect anyone to help me with things like that.

A new laptop/tablet...The one I have now is really old and really slow. Don't expect anyone to get me one. If it happened, I would probably assume I'm dead and in some sort of heavenly afterlife. Then I might pass out from shock.

So this my friends, is my general beg for help. I'm a 23 year old girl without much family. My basics are covered, but that leaves a lot for someone who is broke. I'm actively searching for employment. I've applied from Dr.'s offices to bars. I'm part time in college, and I'm not sure what I want to study yet.

I don't drink, if I had the money for beer I'd buy TP instead. I don't smoke or do any illegal drugs. I'm not a criminal.

I am not someone who wants to just take money. If you are down on your luck too, please don't send me anything. Put it in savings. Give it to some of these people who are about to lose their homes if you must. They're deserving.

If you're apprehensive about giving money but still want to help, you totally can. A package filled with toilet paper, tampons, shampoo...that would be like Christmas morning to me, I swear.

I'm not sure what I'm going to get out of this. Writing this was therapeutic though. If you're on this site, you're already a nice person. I bet 90 percent of the traffic is people who want something, like me. People who go on here to help someone is probably such a rare thing.

Thanks for reading.

7,000 in debt and in Fibromyalgia Hell

Posted by kathy44ny on 2011-12-08 15:58:03

Before fibromyalgia turned my life inside out and upside down I had a life, was an educator, aspiring songwriter and with goals of being an entrepreneur. Now every little thing causes my pain to hurt and crash and what I have is $7,000 in debt and disability payments that are enough to cover the basics, but not get rid of this debt that came in part to supplement public assistance as I waited to get my disability. I hope you can find it in your heart to help me get at least my peace of mind back, even if I can't get back the life I had, by helping me erase this debt. When sending donations, please put in the note, gift. Thank you.

Desperately need your help

Posted by mirazoky on 2011-12-04 07:58:59

I have just arrived in Europe and I come from Madagascar. I live in a poor country where the salary rate is so low and it is hard to save money for college.
But I succeeded in getting my Masters degree and now I have got that offer for a PhD position at a very prestigious University in Europe. It is a very high achievement for a Madagascan to get that offer. My family and I could gather the money that will help me to pay the first installment and the basics (accommodations and living costs for the first four months). I am now looking for jobs but I have to wait until I get a work permit (which takes a long long time). If I do not get the appropriate money on time, I won’t be given the opportunity to pursue my studies and will go back to my country without acquiring anything.
Therefore, I am begging for your charity. The least from you is highly significant for me. Please help me to achieve my goal, that of finishing my studies and be able to do more for my beloved country.

May God bless you.

All I want for Christmas are my kids back

Posted by karma on 2011-11-12 08:58:10

Ok here are the basics of my story. I am a hard working mom of 3. Been with the same selfish man for 13 yrs. Hes been unemployed for over a year couldnt even keep up with housework while I work overnights for a greedy corprate owned pharmacy. One day dcf shows up because the kids clothes were dirty. After seeing a messy house ( thanks to guess who ) an investigation is started . I do all that is asked all is well. Same investigator comes back a year later. Police escort sees no reason for kids to be taken but that doesnt matter to dcf. Children get taken anyway. Begged him to take them to my sister (the one person in this world I thought I could trust) Now because her same sex partner has fallen in love with my children and is heart broken over having to give them back my sister has done everything from false anonomys allegations to telling counslers that they are so traumatized by me that even the sound of my voice over the phone makes them wet their beds at night. Lies to me and says she never said anything like that meanwhile I have all copies of every document stating the exact opposite. Her only response is how can you believe them over me Im family
Nobody cares that im border line of having a nervous breakdown over not being with my kids. The only part of the caseplan i havent completed yet is mr. wonderfui finding a job and moving to a place that doest have stinky well water. What i want to do is get a place on my own without mr
wrong but how do you come up with first and last months rent when by the end of the week your counting change for gas money?

help please

Posted by paccat on 2011-11-01 12:58:53

hi, i am back on my rent and several bills. my income is very low and cant seem to catch up. no one to ask for help or assistance. will take anything to get me through to january. at that time i have a job oppurtunity that will be open to me. as the bills pile up, it is harder to get enough for just the basics. not disabled or unable to work just out of work pretty much. again any help would be a blessing. thanks
Hi. I cant believe I;m begging online. I expect no response to this, but view it as a place to vent. Good things just haven't happened to me for a long time. Here I go anyway... I am writing because I am in desperate need for help. I am a 35 year old single dad with a 9 year old daughter. Let me begin by explaining my situation. My former employer, in the building supply industry, went out of business a few years ago. The economy has not rebounded making building industry jobs scarce. I have since then put myself through schooling to become an emergency medical technician as I stand a chance at getting hired by my local fire department if the economy improves. I am aiming for a career change to get back into the work force. I had to change careers for economic as well as health reasons. Shortly after my company went out of business, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, a debilitating disease affecting the digestive tract. The disease caused me to lose 75 lbs (30% of my body mass) in 8 months. I have been proactive in drastically changing my diet and getting the proper medical care and medicine (Thank God for Medicaid).
Even with medical care, I am still sick every day but I am making the disease more manageable. I applied for disability and received a response back that my condition is indeed disabling, preventing me from working, but would resolve in a year. Hopefully it does, but it is classified as an incurable disease that leads to repeated surgeries in 75% of the patients diagnosed with the disease. On the flip side of that statistic is a growing hope that alternative therapies may work… but take time to custom tailor to the individual. They are also expensive and not covered by Medicaid or private sector insurance. I have spoken to a disability attorney who is ready to represent me if necessary. I am only seeking disability as my “Plan B” if all else fails. I want to become a productive member of society again. I do have a “Plan A”, but I have a LOT of obstacles ahead of me.
This has all had a devastating effect on my finances. Last summer my gas was turned off the day after my daughter’s heart surgery. The gas was turned back on based on medical necessity. As of this week, my gas is turned off again and LIHEAP cannot assist me. I can’t seem to ever have the “Timing” right to get assistance. My electric is also on the verge of being shut off. My home is in foreclosure but the bank has agreed to work with me if I can find employment fast. I have just received a job offer that I graciously accepted. I start in a week. Just before receiving the job offer, while biking with my daughter, I had a mini stroke which caused me to go unconscious while riding. I crashed, broke my ribs, clavicle, hurt my spine, bruised my brain and lung, received several stitches, etc.. I pray that my health stabilizes to allow me to work. My daughter lives with me in this house. I would like to save it from foreclosure mainly for her sake. It’s where she has grown up. It’s a few blocks from her school where I want to keep her. My adopted 9 year old daughter, who I love a lot, has a very difficult speech impediment and learning disability. She already has special education and speech therapy in place with professionals that have worked with her for many years and know her needs. It would be very difficult to have to move away and have to make her start over in another school. I love my daughter a lot and will do anything to provide for her a life that she deserves… with my own limited resources. I say all that to illustrate “in short” that I need help. I have asked relatives and friends for help throughout the year and they are “Tapped”. My church is also in the same situation. I have sold most of my possessions to afford my phone bill, auto insurance, and auto fuel. My daughter and I currently have Medicaid and SNAP food assistance.
My goals are to:
1) I need to rebuild my professional wardrobe. I have lost a lot of weight and consequently have been working on buying dress clothes for my new job. I am to wear solid black suits. I am a 44L with a 38” Waist and 34” Inseam. Size 14 Black oxford shoes. I will graciously accept presentable used items. I can buy 3 inexpensive nice black suits for $80 each. $50 for shoes.
2) I have to keep going to my doctors and maintain and improve my health. I have just been referred off for advanced level care. The travel expenses are going to be very high. I will have to stay overnight in a hotel somehow for some procedures.
3) I will have to afford to drive to work. I will have to keep myself insured and afford the initial cash outset for my first 2-3 weeks of work. I am traveling far to work and it will cost me about $125 a week in fuel. $60/ month in insurance.
4) I have to get my gas turned back on. I am looking at having to come up with an impossible $5000 to get it turned back on.
5) I just bought and installed an used electric water heater and dryer. I have no way as of yet to heat my house this winter.
6) I have to catch up on my $1500 electric bill. Hopefully I can do so or I will have to abandon my house and give up hope. I may have to move to a different state with different utility companies.
7) If I can accomplish the above goals in a short amount of time, I stand a very strong chance at getting my mortgage modified and staying in my home. I can then only have to worry about the basics of life in addition to my health and my daughter’s heart and special needs.
I am facing some tough challenges. I cannot do it on my own. I have nowhere to turn. I would appreciate any assistance or advice on where to go for assistance.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I appreciate your help.

Northwest Gal Seeks Farm Start-up Financing

Posted by hopefulfarmer on 2011-08-28 21:58:56

Hello out there! I am 28, hoping to start a small, organic farm/homestead with my boyfriend, and I am looking for financial assistance in buying land and start-up costs. I have worked on a number of organic vegetable farms, selling both for market and CSA (community supported agriculture, where individuals or families buy a seasonal share and receive weekly boxes of produce). I have some experience with Biodynamic Farming (and intend to study it more), Permacultural design & philosophy, and natural building. I have the knowledge and will, and now I need the start up money!

Ideally I would like to grow medicinal plants (native & non-native) for seed and to sell as starts. I have some experience with this sort of business as well, and would probably start with some basics: lemon balm, peppermint, lavender, milk thistle, Echinacea, etc. We will also begin with a large vegetable garden to supply our own sustenance and to sell produce at a roadside farm-stand or local farmer's market (depending on our location). We will have chickens for eggs and meat, and, after a couple years, I hope to add goats and/or sheep, for milk, meat, and wool. I have learned to spin, and weave (on a four-harness floor loom), and felt, and I hope that we could add to our income with fiber and fiber arts created from our animals. Also interested in soap-making, but don't know much about that yet. Flowers are another potential crop.

We are looking to buy 10-20 acres, probably in the Pacific Northwest. We do have some money for a down payment, and this is a great time to buy property (low mortgage rates and low prices). Other start-up costs will be: building materials for a home, chicken coop, small barn, and fencing; seeds and potting soil; animal feed; fruit tree & perennial herb starts. Anything you could give would help out!! Thank you much, and happy growing!

Help us save our home and get back on our feat

Posted by HATV on 2011-04-14 14:58:22

Hello,
I am a father of three and a veteran. We are about to lose our home and I have run out of money and time. The home we purchased is small but well cared for and the only home my youngest son with “Down Syndrome” has ever known. Leaving this home will be devastating to him. I am desperate to make sure he never suffers for wanting the basics like a home and food. We have tried Social Security but with unemployment, he is only eligible for $65 a month, after unemployment runs out he would only get small amount more that will not pay the mortgage. My unemployment ends in 3 weeks.
I left the military after 13 years of service so that my wife an only child could help care for her mother who died of cancer. We had hoped that I could start over in a career and eventually make up for what the military would have provided in retirement, unfortunately we were not lucky enough to secure employment with stable enough companies that allowed that to happen. Over the last several years, three companies that I have worked for have closed up shop and gone out of business; the last closed a plant in another state and replaced my position with an older company employee from the closed plant. That was in April of 2009. The economy here has unemployment of over 10% and finding another job has been impossible, we have to stay in this area to care for my wife’s father who is 78. As you can see, I am stuck in a difficult situation with few options.
We have tried to start up a small business of our own but we lack the capital to get things going. I need help to get a vending business started, which I hope will be able provide a stable income to save our children’s home and allow us to repay our debts and survive. I need to pay the bank to hold off foreclosure and have enough money for a trailer and equipment. I have never asked for help without thought of repayment but I am at the end of the rope. Any help will be greatly appreciated and when we are able, I will seek to help others in kind. Thank you for your kind thoughts and generosity.

I NEED £800 FOR A FEW MONTHS. GUARANTEED IOU.

Posted by p1988 on 2011-03-11 12:58:47

I really need £800 for 5 months.
I'd be happy to draw up a contract for the money and will have it back to you within 5 months.

I'm a hardworking student at a top 5 uk university. I work part time 3 days a week, have started my own business to help make ends meet and am still struggling. I've done jobs in the past as security, retail, high pressure sales, cleaning, HR and recruitment, and am a credible genuine person making a call for help.

I have credit card debts amounting to £800 from 2 lenders, accrued during my time at uni.

Now I cannot afford rent, food, water/gas/electric bills and have lived a basic lifestyle for over 4 years now (even before uni). I don't waste money, but I'm genuinely in need now.

I don't spend money buying the finest food but live off ALDI/LIDL/basics line of food (ie can of beans - 10p). I don't own expensive clothes and only shop at primark. I don't gamble, drink or take drugs, and am a hardworking person just struggling to catch a break.

Any offers would be greatly appreciated at any level.

I completely understand that there are many more people out there who probably are more worthy, but I will pay every penny back, and will even pay interest on top at 10% for 5 months - returning you £880 by the end of September.

Kindest Regards,
A man in need.

Please help a good family during some bad times

Posted by charlie on 2011-01-27 13:58:58

My wife and I have two wonderful children. Their ages are 16 and 12. As of late we are getting farther and farther behind in our basic bills. Rent utilities and just basic needs. We both work but and live very frugal. This month we will have trouble paying our rent and utilities.Our children do very well in school and we want that to continue. The stress of not having enough money for just the basics is getting to be overwelming If anyone out there reading this can help it would be a prayer being answered. Thank you and God bless

PLEASE help, I need a job, Or gifts for christmas.

My name is James, I live in Texas(outside of Houston). I need help to find full time employment,i have been unemployed since November of last year, but not for lack of trying. unemployment running out soon and i don't know if i will have a place to live let alone gifts for my kids at Christmas.

I am a 32yr old mother of 3yr old triplet boys and a 1 yr old girl. I was married to my first husband 10 years, lost two babies, and finally had my boys. It seems it was more stress to have triplets than he could bare. He left me for some girl he met at work when the boys were 10 months old. My current husband works hard to support us but only makes $8.25 hr. I am currently going back to school to get a nursing degree and I work 3 days a week as a caregiver to the elderly making $150.00 a week. I pay most all of that to a babysitter. I get food stamps but it is not enough. The most humiliating thing I have ever done is ask for help this way. My husband adopted the boys so there is no child support (not that he was paying any in the first place). I love my husband and would never want him to feel like he was not doing enough, so I am writing this in secret. We desperately need help and have no where else to turn. I struggle to pay every bill, and I mean the basics. We are only about $3,500 in credit card debt, but I can only pay the minimum on that. I am asking anyone who has even a little to spare to please take us into consideration. Thank you for reading this and God bless you.

I Need Help!

Hello, my name is Alex. I have been struggling for money for a long time. As a lot of people out there, I will need money to get back on my feet. My story is long and has a sad pattern. Unfortunately, and I am not even sure how to get started in telling you about it. I don’t have children, nor I am dying. I am just a common and extremely honest person who got pranked by life and can’t find a job or the solution that can allow me to be self sufficient financially and at this point emotionally as well. That’s embarrassing having to say it OUT LOUD!. I am 37 years old, going back to college for my associates degree and I hope to be finished in a semester If God or someone help me thru this. I am currently unemployed, and trying to stay positive in succeeding one day in life but sooner is better, of course. I had been working as a nanny full time for years and the last family I was working for, the kids started school leaving me with not enough hours to make the basics of financial living. I was working so hard that I would live my home at 7am to got to work until 5:45, and then go straight to my school when my class started at 6pm.aI would get back home at 11pm every night. I really can work hard, thats no doubt about it. The sad part is that I was constantly on the go and not making enough money to live. I currently have 5 nanny agencies trying to place me with a job since August, but still no luck. My bills have been increasing, and I have no brain power for my studies after all this stress.
I need money to get out of the house I am living in and I can’t even afford to move out, and at the same time I can afford to stay. I don’t have any family around or close to me, and it is extremely hard making changes and finding solutions about a situation like this when you are alone and don’t have anyone who would care about you enough to help.
This climate trigger my endometriosis, which is a medical condition that has been worsening with my stress and depression, and still there’s nothing I can do about it. Feels like I’ve been walking on quick sand forever. The economy is not helping me and the jobs I had been working It could barely make meet its mean ends. Strangely, I got in a trap and I cant get out of it.
Here I am now, putting my pride and self steam aside and asking for help. I could never imagine in a million years I would have to do that. Once someone told me that even after when we die we need help. Someone has to bury our bodies.I feel that I am not only asking for something is to be given to me, I will post my personal things online and try sell it, so at least I try on my end and an effort of my part. If God help me, I promise to help others and return the favor to the needed when my life gets better.

Thank you for reading.
