Battling Tags

In need of prayers...and donations. I have been battling chronic pain for about 8 years. This has progressively gotten worse and caused more horrible symptoms and is ultimately interfering with my quality of life. I REFUSE to take any type of Rx medications for pain. I have resorted to taking Goody's powders which only cause more issues but they are the only thing that offer ANY relief. I do not have health insurance and frankly don't really like going to doctors. I finally broke down and went to the doctor in early April and was told that I have adhesions (internal scar tissue) from a previous surgery that was causing the pain and needed a Lap procedure done to remove it. The cost of this procedure is approximately $6000. I have a job,, my husband has a job but neither offer health insurance and there is just no way with three children and our other bills to save up this much money. We have tried and every time we do something comes up and the money has to be used elsewhere. I just want my life back. I want to be able to play with my boys like I used to instead of only feel like laying around so that I don't hurt AS bad. I want to be able to stop taking Goody's before they cause more problems with my stomach. I want my life back! I don't even care if it's just a $1 donation...it's more towards surgery than I have now.

I've been battling a mysterious illness for over a year. I can't keep food down. I've had a boat load of tests, ultrasounds, endoscopies and blood work and everything came back normal. All I have now are a ton of medical bills and no answers. To make things worse I'm generally able to work a lot of overtime at work. Ever since this illness set in I'm lucky if I can make through my entire shift. Please help me. I will be forever grateful.

Hi, I am a 21 year old woman... in December my daughter was born via emergency c-section at 27 week weighing just 495g.. She survived for 71 days and fought through so much, 4 operations, gaining weight, battling infection however in the end her tiny heart stopped... she weighed 3lb 3oz by then... My daughter died in the February to my suprise i found out i was pregnant again in April only to miscarry at 6 weeks... My family disowned me because i buried my daughter in her fathers hometown even though my 'family' did not visit her in her 71 beautiful days of life.. i never left my daughter and even argued with a registrar one night after being admitted to hospital that he was to let me away for 2 hours to say good night...I need a short break and would greatly appreciate any donations...

I need help to pay my rent which my landlord gave me till 4/27/2012 to pay in full and then rent for May is do on the 1st. I am trying to get back on my feet after I was battling an illness and my husband had lost his job in November. He is back to work as of January 30th but we are still behind the eight ball. HELP??? Please we will pay back with any reasonable terms.

My fiance and I have been through it all in the last year and a half. We met almost two years ago, and it was love at first sight. We had found our other halves. We were both in the process of divorce, and knew we had a long road ahead of us. Little did we know, it was going to get much worse. After his awful settlement, in which he lost the fight for his kids, he was then wrongfully terminated from his job last September. While all of this was going on, I was battling ovarian cysts and the uncertainty of my health. We have wanted nothing more than to celebrate a new beginning with our families, but have been struggling to make the bills, while balancing each of our 4 children. There is so much more to our story that has led me to this website and this plea. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We have almost finished planning a small wedding and are going to have to cancel it, if we cannot find help with the reception and the photographer. We already had to cancel the honeymoon, and lost a $700 deposit on that. Everything else is paid for, and would all be a loss, should we need to cancel. Our children, our families, our friends, want nothing more than to see us start our new life together the right way. I have found my happily ever after, but unfortunately we don't all come from kingdoms far, far away. We are looking at a donation of $8,000 for help with the costs. Please grant this special couple their own fairy godparents, and let us spend a night with friends and family, in celebration of true love.

this is a first for me but i don't know what else to do. i have spent the last 4 years fighting breast cancer twice and still battling side effects. i have lymphedema so bad in my right arm that i am unable to work, i just found out that the cancer may be back and am waitng for results. the worst part is the drain i have become on my family. i have been married to my high school sweetheart for 22 years and have a beautiful 17 yr old daughter looking to go to college in the fall. my medical expenses have put us into such debt that we struggle daily and can't afford college. our car is on its last wheel and i am so depressed, i ponder constantly whether my family would just be better off without me. any help at all would be so appreciated, as it might shed a little light at the end of the tunnel. i'm so tired of trying to find a way to help my family and they deserve so much more than what i have caused them.

Hi there,

My name is Lea all the way from Australia. I have 3 beautiful children that I am raising on my own. We fell on hard times just over 1 year ago. I am looking forward to starting work in 6 weeks time. This is the most positive I have been in a very long time. The problem I have is with my car. It is 14 years old and runs fine sometimes. Last year I spent $1000 repairing an oil leak and a few other mechanical problems. Now though the shocks have given in and the car is not safe to drive any more :(. Today was the worst I feel, it felt like I was on a boat at sea :(. The expense to replace them with labour costs is astronomical. I really don't have the money to foot this bill. The car isn't worth a lot and I thought it would be better and safer to buy another one given the constant repair bills. I have always driven it nicely and looked after it. The timing is not very good right now. In my part of the world cars are very expensive even for the most basic one. I don't need anything trendy just a car for the kids and I. I need it to commute 35 mins each way to work and be able to drop them off at school and daycare everyday. A road worthy vehicle like the one I have now (Toyota Camry Wagon) costs $3,500. For a few months I joined various on line opportunities that all promised to make me money but what happened instead was that I lost the last few hundred dollars I had on advertising which was intended to invite others to join. Unfortunately, it didn't work :(. Please, if there is anyone out there reading my story will you send just $1.00. I am going to the bank next week to find out about a loan but I am unlikely to get anything. I was driving my husbands other car but two weeks ago he had an accident resulting in his main car being written off. He has now had to take his car back. We are currently separated and he is in debt a mile high. To anyone who would like to see proof of the repairs my wheels need I will be happy to supply them to you. I have nothing to hide at all and this is a genuine request for help with a car. I am sure to anyone this is a massive request and I'm sorry about that. I really want to get back on my own two feet. Along with starting a new job I am also studying on line as an external student of my local university. For now though a helping hand however big or small will have the impact to change our direction in life. Without a road worthy set of wheels getting to work will be a really big problem.

In return I am willing to offer an eternal friendship :) Who doesn't need a friend? I would also like to send a little present, something Australian to anyone who will help me out. I suppose as my start day gets closer the more anxious I am becoming. This car issue is causing a lot of worry :(. As things improve and I trust they will in time I want to help others on here too. To let you know a little more about us: A few Sunday's a term I lead the preschool kids Sunday School at my Church. I love it very much. Being a lone parent is not easy at all but I have come along way after battling a lot of health issues brought on by my husbands departure. I also give away any clothing my children have outgrown to anyone I know of that needs them. I also share anything I bake as long as it tastes good :). I try to live by being kind to everyone myself as one never knows what battle someone else may be facing.

Thank you for reading.

Will keep praying for a miracle.

Many blessings,
Lea

Thank you for reading this.
I once had as much overtime as I wanted, during which time I had a large mortgage but an income which could cope. Now the recession has hit, overtime is a thing of the past. I have tried so hard to find other work for my days off to provide an extra income, but there is nothing going.
I am now desparate, my outgoings exceed my income, and I fear that I may be about to lose everything. I have this vision of my house being repossessed, and my wife leaving me, all due to lack of income. My wife is older than me, and diabetic, the stress is making her diabetes very hard to control, sometimes I think she would be better off without me, but I keep battling. I just can't turn things around. We have no vices, we don't smoke, don't drink, don't gamble, we don't actually waste any money at all, but it just isn't enough.
If anybody can find it in their hearts to help us out we would be so grateful. Obviously it would be thousands to repay the mortgage, I would not dream of asking for that. But any amount received would go directly to the mortgage, to saving my home and marriage. Honestly, anything would help, however small.
Thank you again for taking the time to read this.

Hello, after battling with my medical discharge on the 9th June 2011, I found myself unemployed and struggling to adjust in 'Civvie' street, although I found it hard I just couldn't cope with the bills and ended up putting my wife and 4 young children in jepody, I am a proud man and have since found a job, but the debts continued to mount up and we found out a little while ago that the landlord wants to take the house back to do it up and sell. on top of this my georgeous and loving wife has had a major operation on her bladder and a hysterectomy, and as a result I have to take a cut in hours worked, We have a good church community that have provided us with 'meals on wheels' please help us by donating a little just so I can help us get out of this rut, I am working and am trying to get out of this, but please feel free to donate.

I am looking for help because my situation has gone from bad to worst. I have been battling a medical condition called Ankylosing spondylitis. I am also taking care of my mother who is 89 years old and in kidney failure, and to make matters worst, my nephew, who has been living with us since his mother's death, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and undergoing treatment at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas.

I was out of work for over a year because of the pain and inflammation that is constant. Last month I was forced to go back to work despite of my medical condition because of the expenses of traveling back and forth to get chemo therapy for Chris, the expense of adult care. Additionally, my mother was place on hospice care last week.

Then, of all things my car breaks down. Since there is no public transportation, I need help getting my car fixed. If I can just get some help with the repairs to my car, we can make it.
We have sold everything we could sale, we have cut back on food to 2 meals a day and we have no extra anything. This has been going on for almost a year. We have been denied social security benefits as well as medicaid, which is in appeals, but in the mean time, I need to get to work.
Can you please help the mechanic says oil leak and struts problem. I would be willing to set up a payback.

All I have is God and myself to turn to. I have battled depression to this extreme before, but the last time I recall feeling this dreadful was when I was 21 years old. This is probably a lot of recent stresses, and built up stresses all crashing down on a traumatic event that occurred when I was 21. I realize that only I can change this perspective, but I everything, and I mean EVERYTHING to change for the better. All I do is make things worse for myself. I have gotten to the point where I get home from work and cry my living heart out for hours, I don't cry so much in front of people, because I am ashamed at my weakness, but I just can't do this much longer. I need help. I don't want to learn the hard way anymore! Im losing my job, no going homeless, no more.... I just want to be a happy person, and I have been battling a rapidly growing depression in the last few months. I know that I am the only one to blame for it all, and I have the power to change it... yet, somehow, I have begun seriously wondering if I can do this much longer. I don't want to hit rock bottom... but rock bottom for my emotions may have passed up a long time ago... I just don't know what to do anymore. I have no vehicle or insurance, or money, or time... so I'm in a last minute search for some help... coping mechanisms that I can live by... I just need prayers... I need so much more too... I need to stop feeling like this! I can't even type up a random forum topic without crying b/c I sound just as confused as I am. Just help me!

I've been trying to get control of my dental problems for almost 5 years now. I've given them over $4000 so far to basically maintain my horrible teeth enough to get by. I really really really need to have some of them taken out and replaced. I have been to 3 dentists who all say I will be spending about $8000 to get my mouth back to a healthy state. I don't have this kind of money at all and what's worse, he said if I don't take it seriously fast, infection can spread to my heart and cause a stroke among other problems. All my friends are helping me out with whatever they can and my family. I'm up to about $600 in donations from people I know directly. Not even close!! I don't know how doctors and dentists can sit there and tell me I'm risking my life by not getting this work done, but do NOTHING about it to help me out. I'm already battling the disability folks for my money they are apparently making me wait 4 months for. Sorry for babbling but I'm scared. Please help! I have already started researching into starting some sort of charity that will prevent anyone in my city from ever having to go through what I am going through. If dental health is the most important, why is it the most expensive and hardest to get?

Please help. We had a house fire 2 years ago and I have been battling with Travelers Insurance to get them to pay our claim ever since. I have run up debt trying to survive and have been embattled with lawyers. My wife left with my 2 youngest children (a little girl 4 years old and a boy 10 years old) and we are now separated. My eldest son lives with me and will be starting High School this year. I am now facing the possibility of foreclosure on my home as a result of all this and need to find a solution.

I am asking for any help that you can give a dollar or two or more, whatever you think you can afford. I will use the money to get out of debt and hopefully save my family and my house. I thank you in advance for your kindness.

May God Bless You.

I am battling depression from the stress and I really don't know what to do anymore. I pretend everything is ok, it's so hard to let anyone know otherwise. I just smile and say I'm fine. Most people don't know I have a disease that could stop my heart at any moment, it affects 6000 in North America so it's pretty rare. I have no insurance so I can't see a Dr. I'm only 25 and have a daughter to take care of. I want to see her grow up. My husband works all day to make our house payment, we get our bills paid every month, sometimes late but they get paid. We usually have $10-$20 left every week to buy food and gas. I know everyone is struggling right now and it's so hard and the stress from it all is making my health problems so much worse. I don't know what to do anymore, I just sit and cry. I hate for my child to see my like this. I hate the constant fights over money. I've tried working from home but because of my condition I don't have the energy to do anything other than care for my child. I am beyond frustrated. Please if you can, please help us. I can't take my daughter to the Dr to get check-ups.. I can't take myself to the Dr to prevent this disease from killing me. Every day of my life I have prayed for the world and I just need someone to please pray for me, I'm running out of strength. Thank you & God Bless you all.

I sit here with tears in my eyes and my heart. I am 50 years old and the mother of an amazing 14 year old daughter that until until 2008 lived with a mentally abusive and cruel husband and dad. At that time we left to move in with my 88 year old father. I had hopes of a new beginning for us,a chance to be able to be happy and feel comfortable and safe in our home, something I had dreamed of for my child. Then on April 1,2009, no April Fool's joke, everything went bad. After dropping my daughter off at school, I completely blacked out while driving in morning rush hour traffic. Some how I drove through traffic lights and turns and ended up parked in a grocery store lot where I walked around, all without seeing or hearing a thing. I came to for a moment as EMS was putting me in the ambulance. I woke up 36 hours later to the fight of my life. I was in the hospital for 30 days, battling organ failure and trying to regain my memory and abilities. While all this happened to me, my father passed away at the house. My daughter came home from school to find him passed away at the side of his bed and me no where to be found. My child saw this and had no idea where I was or if something had happened to me. It took hours before the neighbors found out I had been taken to the hospital.

Since that day it has been one battle after another, but we never give up. I had to learn to walk and write again and I am still waiting for disability. We have gone through every dime I had trying to pay the utilities and the second mortgage on my father's house. The house has holes in the floor in the kitchen, bathroom and my daughter's room and electric to only one half, but we never complain because we are thankful to have somewhere to call home. I am writing this because I have $49 to my name and bills to pay so we have a home and utilities. I have tried to sell everything we do not need, but that has not gone as well as I hoped. I have tried to find ways to work from home and that has not worked out as of yet. I have worked since I was 15 and I have never been unable to do so. I can not stand not being able to provide for my child. I am hoping that the same guardian angels that guided me to safety that April day will touch your hearts and allow you to help me keep my daughter from loosing the only thing we have left. When I get back on my feet I plan to help as many people on this site and in my community as I possibly can, because I know the stress and heartache that comes with times like this. I also know that more people than one may think are only a paycheck or two from loosing everything. Please help us and do me a favor, what ever amount you find in your heart you are able to give to us, take half of it and find someone else on this site that touches your heart and give that half to them as well. I thank you for any help you can offer and know that God will bless you here on Earth and in Eternity.

My nephew has been battling stage 4 neuroblastoma since he was 5 and now he is 11. It has been a long grueling process for him. This week he was placed on hospice. I need at least 500 dollars to go see him since I am a single mom of 4 and have to pay for tolls, gas and expenses to go to him. I have no money and we are all heart broken right now. Time is limited and my car also needs repairs, plus I'm behind on my insurance and I'm behind on bills because I'm a returning student raising my kids with no help or job.

Hello my name is Louise, I'm 25 years old and I'am currently in debt and struggling to find work, which is a scary experience for me.

I got into over a thousand pounds of debt a year ago by basically funding my husband to come across to the UK from America, we were in love and after paying for flights and visa bills and such he decided to let me know he had been cheating on me and proceeded to fly back to America and stay with this girl he had just met, and then got pregnant with a month later.

Needless to say this has left me battling with depression and I lost my job and found myself in debt with my unemployment running out in a few of months.

I don't expect much from this but I'm just desperate enough to try anything at the moment, including reaching out into the wide world for a helping hand which I would then do my utmost to pay forward once I' am out of trouble here. The tiniest of amounts would help so much.

Thank you for your time!
