Bay Tags

I live in the bay area and rents on houses are very high.Since I really need a yard and garage,an apartment won't do.I also need room to set my photography equipment and a room to use as a library for how to books.having people over is just too disruptive in a multiple building.I just don't have enough room and I need more space for my business to get it going.Lack of space is making it very hard,as well as lack of privacy.

i am an ex convict ,that has completely turned my life around and became a good man.i am now 42 spent most of my life in and out .my father is 69 VIETNAM WAR VETERAN ,my father tells me he has one motorcycle trip left in him (because of cancer) ,and if we are going to make that one trip together. i better be ready to ride by early august for atleast a month .i am very frustrated to know that this is the only chance i will have for us to ride together .the amount of hours i am working for ups is barely paying my bills,and to live on.im asking for any assistance that someone could provide to me .when i left PELICAN BAY prison 43 months ago i discovered the real meaning to life ,and all i want is to ride with my father one time .i am doing anything that could possibly help me to reach that goal by august .ONLY IF IT IS LEGAL .

In 2007 I purchased an old 1982 O'day 25 sailboat on Ebay. It needed a lot of work and I went about fixing it up and outfitting it to sail. I'll post some pictures in the future or email you some to show you. I re-launched her in June 2009 under her origional name; Shadubie. The plan was to sail around Buzzards Bay out of New Bedford, Ma until I was confident enough to sail or cruise longer distances until one day I would venture away for ever. It's sounds foolish, but it's my dream and slowly it has been coming true. As of 2009 I've sailed Buzzards bay and Narragansitt Bay and out to Green Port, Long Island. I'll be sailing all the Islands in the area for another year or two, But money has become an issue. So much so, that I may be forced to sell the boat, or even abandon it to rising marina costs. I am looking for funds to keep her sailing. This is a real great boat and it is strange to say that I've developed a love for her akin to having a girl friend. Anyone who has ever had a boat, and put in a lot of sweat equity into it, should understand. Any way, Please Donate what you can to keep Shadubie and me sailing. A buck for luck?
With your help,Some day we'll be sailing away, and around the world.

My name is Angela K. Baker. I live in Green Bay, Wisconsin and have been living with diagnosis of Systemic Lupus since I was fourteen years (I am now 34 DOB 06/16/1977). Although as a child, I knew there was something a little different about myself compared to my twin brother Johnathan. I could never run and play with the other children because my body just would not keep up with the other kids. It always felt like I had sandbags attached to me and I would pass out in the sunlight, I was always exhausted and my body cried out in pain. I just didn't know why. I can remember being like this all the way back to my kindergarten year. Not that my parents were bad people, it just seemed like they just didn't have anymore to give, there problems were so on the surface, (both of my parents are alcoholics, and my mother has had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) since I was born and as for my father, he spent a large part of my life locked away in the Wisconsin jail system (due to his own alcohol induced indescretions.) At fourteen I got a full-time job to pay for my medical bills and a part-time job working at a nursing home to help my family. I have always been stuborn and a fighter, but at this point in my life the fight has just about been exstinguished out of me and I have to admit that I need some help. Over the last twenty years I have been under anasthetic approximately 125 times. I am missing more parts than I have. I feel like an experiment gone wrong or a human pin coushon. I hope that at least some of my surgical suffering at least helped the surgeons learn something from my body...You see I have lived longer than anyone that they know of with this kind of Lupus. It usually manifesters in the late 30's or 40's not in children. My most recent operation was on June 9th 2011, to fix holes in my intestines that were accidentley left after my colon was removed (my colon exploded after it had been recected four times) Right now I have an Illyectomy system that does not work correctly, it leaks blood, bile, puss, fecal liquid ect. and the plastic appliances do not work on me because my skin is so sensative from the Lupus. My medical exspenses are so astronomical even with Medicare and I struggle every month to pay my basic needs (rent, public service water copays ect) I was forced to retire at 23 my body deceided it just couldn't do it anymore, even though I worked very hard to put myself through college so that I could have a decent job that I enjoyed. Thank God that it does not take much to feed me, because the state of WI says that I do not qualify for food stamps or medical assistance, I make $4.oo a month too much. I am not asking for large donations, I know the ecomomy is bad and we are all struggling. What I am asking that when you balance your checking account that you round up to the nearest dollar and please donate the change. My goal is to collect enough money to see a special surgeon at Freodert Hospital in Milwaukee Wisconsin. He would like to see if he can help me have some kind of quality of life and end some of the suffering that I have been enduring for a long time . I would be happy if I even received a little relief. I don't remember what it is like to feel healthy, everyone in this life deserves at least a shot at it... If I am given the help that I need, I fully intend to open my home again as a safe house ( I am not able to do that now because of the leaking illeostmy ) and I would love to a foster mom to any child who needs a good loving and stable home. The way I am right now is horrible ( I have not left my home in over six months excluding doctor appointments) I do realize that some people use these sites for frivilous things and for scamming people. All that that I can do is to give my word that I promise to pay it forward. In my life I have been through an extraordinary amount of human suffering and it is a miracle that I am alive still to tell my story, and for that I am truly greatful and I am here still for a reason. It is not so bad to live without certain basic human needs, it's the having too that is very heartbreaking.

Sincerely,

Angela K. Baker

I'M 57 years of age a wartime veteran who served the 6 year commitment honorable 1972-1976 plus w/2yrs reserve. Started work on a farm as boy in the late 50's. My parents like most Americans were rural working class poor. At 8 years of age I got a T.V. Guide route, then later a newspaper route. Worked while going through High School and have the Social security report to prove it.

Out of the past over 15 years in Florida more that 10 of those years have been incomeless unemployed! In my working career I have also started two small businesses plus have looked during this long period of no income to take a risk doing something. It has not happened and now I am broke. Also finding out that the number people needing jobs or income verses the opportunities needed have a huge gap of dispairity.

I live in Palm Bay/Melbourne Florida area if anyone can help in any way please contact me at mulabate@yahoo.com Thank you, Vietnam Vet

I've been unemployed since 2007. I'm 36 I have a degree but it won't get me a job. I eek by selling items on e-bay and making custom arts/crafts and action figures for people.

I'm about to loose everything. My credit card payments are shooting upward, my student loans are coming due and I have no way to pay.

My girlfriend lives 500 miles away, two weeks from now is her birthday and I would really like to go see her. Plus I might be able to get a job where she lives because they are hiring.

I need to raise $500 in two weeks to go see her. Anything at all will help.

Hello All:

My name is Clinton, and I posted here several months ago seeking help on getting my dogs released from the animal shelter. I couldn't get any help from this site, let alone friends and family.

My mom passed away in July, and I haven't been able to get back on my feet since then. It's pretty much been a downward spiral, and I am once again seeking help from this community.

I am currently homeless, and living in the San Francisco Bay Area. This region is experiencing a very high unemployment rate, much higher that the national average. Too many job seekers, and not enough jobs. I have been working a few odd jobs, but certainly not enough to get back on my feet again.

I have been down on my luck for too long, and need to rebound, so that I can be a productive person in this society.

Before my mom passed away, I had a pretty sucessful Mustang shop in Oklahoma, but because of unforseen circumstances, I lost everything. I would like to reopen my shop either here in California or back in Oklahoma, but lack the necessary funds.

If there is anybody that can help with a donation or loan so that I can get control of my life once again, would be greatly appreciated. I would be glad to repay a loan with interest, or pay it forward for a donation

If someone would like to contact me, I can be reached by e-mail.

Thank You

My girlfriend and I have been working hard for five years both as workers and as a couple. I moved from Los Angeles to the bay area to be closer to my family and because I had a shoe-in job with the energy sector in San Francisco as an electrician. The job fell through, then the economy collapsed. Now I barely make ends meet doing side jobs and labor. I have hustled for jobs and nothing has panned out. I sold anything that was worth money online and scraped together enough money to keep the lights and gas on. At this point I have exhausted all my money and resources. I have two possible jobs lined up for February, but I need a miracle to make it this month. My girlfriend wants to get married, she just needs me to prove I can provide for her. I need to come up with $1300 somehow...
Any help would be met with extreme appreciation.
Thank you.

Hello all,

My name is Elizabeth, but I go by my middle name Kelly. I am a 38 year old disabled woman (degenerative disc disease, two back surgeries, one abdominal surgery). I current live in El Cajon, California and due to painful reasons I cannot voice, I must move NOW. I am trying to move up to the Bay Area as I have family and friends there.

I have saved $10,000 of my own money, but I need another $10,000 ASAP. I have found land on which to build a home. The land is $9700 for a .27 acre lot. No, that's not a joke. There are about 26 lots available within a sixty mile radius of San Francisco that are listed at/or below $25,000. While I am building, I intend to live in an RV. It's the most cost effective way to move right NOW and have a home of my own for the first time in my life. I have found a suitable and well priced RV for sale. The dealership has agreed to knock another $2000 off, so after fees and taxes, it would be $11,000.

First problem: My credit has been destroyed over the last three years due to medical bills that I put on credit cards (those financial issues are resolved, but still took their toll on my credit). All of my efforts to obtain any kind of financing have now been exhausted. My credit report is actually the lesser of the issues. It's the fact that I'm disabled, on a fixed income, and have no idea when or if I can return to work (I have requested clearance to return to work and have been denied repeatedly by three different doctors). This presents the biggest concern for lenders despite the fact that how little I need to borrow would constitute a monthly payment of only 17% of my income. It makes no difference if the loan is for the land or the RV. I am considered too much of an "unknown risk." And to answer an obvious question, yes my family has already pitched in as much as they can.

Second problem: With the $10,000 I have, I can either buy the land outright, or buy the RV outright, but not both. If I buy the land, I have no way to live on it. If I buy the RV, I have no place to park it to live in it. So, I am throwing my pride out the window and I'm asking for help. If you can and are willing to help, I would be extremely grateful. Every single dollar counts... So, if a dollar is all you can spare, I would still be just as grateful. At the point at which I own the land and the RV (and my car, which is paid off) this will be just enough collateral for a bank to loan me the $45,000 I will need for the cabin kit (it's a small cabin that comes to you in pieces and you put it together yourself.... think Ikea on a much larger scale, and much better quality; it is about $18,000), and the rest of the bank loan would be to connect to utilities and lay a foundation.

I want to make it clear that I am only asking for enough help to get me up to the Bay Area... 10K total. Once I have the minimum I need, this post will come down. I'm not asking for any more than I need to get the land and the RV at the same time. I'm not asking for ANY of the money I will need to build my home and connect to utilities. I can and want to take responsibility for that myself. I'm only asking for the kick-start I need... I've saved half my start up on my own. I need help for the last push to get me to my personal "Promised Land."

Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my situation... I hope that one day, when I am financially established again, I will have the means to come back here and help others the way I was helped in my time of need.
