Hi There,

My name is cheryl and I live in the Uk. I really hate to even ask for this but I dont see what else I can do.

I have had small breasts every since I was young. I have always been embarressed about them and have always wanted to have breast augmentation, but now it is really making me depressed. I have had 2 children, my youngest is one years old and I breastfed him for a year. Which really boosted my confidence and i felt great and I was so motivated. But now my breasts are nothing at all and im so depressed at the moment. I am self employed doing hair and beauty and with having 2 small children and bills to pay for, Its excepionally hard to try and save. I have considered and been looking for loan sharks but ive been warned off them.

So I was wondering if there are any generous people out there willing to help me along to bring my confidence back. I know some people say that they are just boobs and its stupid. But its not when I feel really low all the time and hate myself just because I dont feel like a young woman anymore.

I have always been involved in varies charity events and I always raise money for different events and campaigns, now im the one who needs the help.

Your support and any donation at all would be much appreciated.

I am moving to start school and I don't have the money to find me a place and start moving at all. I am afraid I won't find a place in time and they do not have dorms for you to live in. It's a highly accredited beauty school. Ive been working so hard and can't make ends meet. Any help would be so amazing and a blessing!!

I am 29 yrs and I never grew up to know my mum as she died immediately after my birth.My dad died 3yrs ago in Pennsylvania,I'm the only daughter of my folks.I grew up in Ambler PA. My ex-boyfriend,David Gareth was very cruel to me, he absconded with my dad's money which was kept with me after a completion of a contract in EAST Pennsylvania When My ex-boyfriend got absconded with the undisclosed sum of US dollars, this brought the first brake up between me and my dad, because he thought we had the deal together, but not knowing that I'm innocent about this. So my dad has been harsh and tough on me about this,i am too vulnerable when it comes to relationships that was why my ex boyfriends used me allot.After all these happened to me and caused by my Ex boyfriend, I joined a dating site( www.singlesnet.com) where I met a African guy online here who promised heaven and earth that he wants to marry me and to be a with me for eternity; I was so, happy that I never knew I was going from Fry-pan to Fire". The African guy told me of an investment opportunity in African and he convinced me to come along with loads of money when coming down. On getting here, all his intention was to take away the money from me, play me and leave me on my own. I came from the United States with all the money I've gotten from my Dad's business and contracts remuneration. Because the African guy told me of an idea to invest in African sculptures here. When I got here, he made all possible means to get the money from me and get away with my money.When I noticed this, I took the money and my traveling boxes and deposited it with a Security/Insurance Company here in African in order to save myself and my assets. Thereafter I left the Guy's apartment to an hotel where I am in right now and from which I am communicating to you right now. My friends warned me before i went on this journey, i actually sold everything i had back home , i thought i had a life with this African guy, since most guys back home where in for just sex and some money.I lost all my friends. That is why i wanted to know if you are not like these two guys i mentioned, i really want to be loved for who i am, but i need a caring Man that i can spend the rest of my life with....i hope it is you.Well, let me hang on here till I hear from you. I hope someone will understand all that i have said.

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.

I am a 22 year old computer nerd suffering from Bipolar and Major Depression. I can't hold a job down. I had a mental breakdown and had to move in with my dad, but now I'm moving back to my home town. My friends said I could move back in with them, and I told them I'd give them what money I could come up with. I have no idea what to do. I think I can fix computers, but it's a small town. I'm worried I won't be able to find work. I'm moving there with $4 I managed to get through online surveys. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi. I'm 30 years old and the mother of two small boys. I was laid off last year after I found out I was pregnant and decided it best for my family to use our tax return and finish beauty school. We have been surviving off my husbands meager pay but now with 2 1/2 weeks to finish I need help.
I have to pay $53 for my cosmetology license and another $105 to take the test. If I can't come up with this money all of my hard work will be for nothing. Please help me provide a better life for my family by helping me pay for my license.

Will we ever be together maybe,
You know id love it if you called me baby.
I love you and i think your beautiful no lies, I also love the way i feel looking in your eyes.
Gazing deeply piercing your soul figuring out all that there is to know. Blinded by beauty its to dark i cant see, i know what i want and thats you here with me. All i can do is hope and pray that ill be the man to somehow make your day. Until then fate has us apart but ill keep dreaming of our begining our start. Our passionate love its in the the making and the time that it takes for your love its worth taking.

The idea has been brewing for decades. I am not alone. My generation does not have the retirement expected and enjoyed by our parents, despite having been educated and hardworking since our teens. Tried to save, careful with earnings, and at 50, little to show for it. The rat race has run it's course. The urban mayhem is tiresome, and we deserve to retire, relax, and enjoy life before we are too old to do so.
As it stands, I like many others are looking at working our whole lives, and I mean our WHOLE lives. It is wrong.
At my current age, both my parents took early retirement , and have been enjoying theor lives comfortably already for decades. This dream is completely out of reach for myself, and most amongst my generation.
Working our whole lives, full time is wrong on many levels. One being that we are only making others rich, as we toil, grow ill, and spend our days in traffic and cubicles, struggling, for what? As long as we are chasing the paycheck, there is no freedom, and no hope for living before we croak.
A commune does not have to be dozens of dirty hippies. I see small communities. Even half a dozen people, or couples in one large home. This home can consist of a shared building with kitchen and living space, and other out buildings containing bedrooms,bathrooms private entrances and porch space. So you have a place with community and privacy as you choose.
Once I had a roomate situation that was much like this. A large house, S shaped. bedrooms were at opposite ends, and I went weeks sometimes without even running into roommates. In the center was the main kitchen and a living room space where we occasionally got together in. Roommates each had their own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, and living room space. There was a common courtyard area, as well as a private outdoor area for every bedroom. We comfortably had 8 people,, sharing rent and utilities. This made the cost of living extremely low , and we each survived happily only working part time.
There was a community garden, those who participated in its upkeep could just help themselves to its bounty, but there was plenty to share and even those without the time to work in it would benefit.
Everyone was responsible for their own food needs, transportation, and their portion of rent and utilities. It was no problem, and we lived this way for a full decade, and could have indefinitely if the house was not sold. I did try unsuccessfully to buy it.

So, I am asking for assistance making such a thing possible again, but this time by owning, not renting, so as not to lose it!

The place does not have to be glamourous, just roomy, on the outskirts of town, and hoping this time for a pool. And I wish to share it with others in the same manner so to afford others like myself to retire, or at least semi-retire, comfortably. The beauty in this is also that you are not alone, not isolated, and yet not crammed in where you have no privacy. There is someone there if the car breaks down, or if your heart gives out!

I think this is a great model for my generation who has worked hard and deserves the retirement that has been stolen from them. We do not want to burden our children.

I see this model serving first in this respect for those of us contemplating the impossibility of retirement, but also I believe it can serve as a model for a new way to live for all. Share. Pool resources. Grow food. We can enjoy all the modern conveniences, and get off the grid too, gradually.

When like minded people come together and cooperate with the same goals in mind, it can happen.

Need the home, need the land. The rest is easy.

Please consider the simplicity, and common sense in my plea, and help me make this possible for myself, and others. It will serve as an example to our children and future generations. Please.

And thank you for reading this far, I know this was long!

Every cent I receive from this post and others I will put toward this plan which I hope to get off the ground ASAP.

Hi my name Linda I am a Jewelry Designer (a great jewelry designer) I have built a inventory for the last 9 years, with many sales, many repeat customers and unfortunately you can't borrow against your inventory! So most of my avenues for help has been walked! So here is my plea.....

I recently bought a 2008 Pontiac G6, silver beauty.
The dealer showed me a clear CarFax and the car drove fine for 6 months, all of a sudden after recent oil changes by the dealership my car will not start!

I had it towed to the dealer and they said it needs 4,000 USD in parts and labor to be running again!
My hours just got cut from 40 to 20 a week and I can hardly afford to pay the car loans monthly bill. I tried to apply to the dealership for a loan to get the car fixed but my debt to income ratio is too high!

I need 4000 USD to fix my car to keep the job I am already barely holding onto.

Please help me and my family. Karma is amazing, and God Bless.

I am a 19-year-old student of sociocultural anthropology who also has a strong interest in ecology and the environment. My life's dream is to one day start my own ecotourism company that employs local people in developing nations, encourages responsible and environmental-oriented travel, increases cultural awareness, and gives back to the community. In the past I've been lucky enough to participate in several overseas tours with such companies; I financed my most recent trip by working the night shift in the dairy and frozen foods department of a local supermarket for several months. However, the one nation that I have always dreamed of working in is Zambia: a landlocked nation in southern Africa brimming with diverse landscapes, breathtaking natural beauty, and friendly people. Unfortunately, poverty remains an ongoing problem in some rural parts of this nation. My ultimate goal when visiting Zambia is to communicate with some of the local people in their own languages (I've been studying Bemba and Nyanja) in an attempt to better understand the social, political and economic climate of Zambia, support local lodges, hostels and safari guides, and learn more firsthand about environmental issues in this beautiful and fascinating land. Of course I always prefer to work hard for such travel and research opportunities, and will be perfectly honest when I say that there are many people on this website who need cash donations for reasons far more vital than mine. For a student who is currently unable to find work, I am unsure of how I'd pay for a trip to Zambia at some point next winter. I will continue to search for work and strive towards once again earning the money myself, but if anyone wishes to supplement the costs of my travel with a very small donation, I will certainly be thankful! If I can find 2,000 people who can each give just 50 cents, I will be well on my way towards realizing this dream. Thank you for your time and support!

First of all, I'd like to thank you for at least reading this.

And second, I hope you're feeling blessed yourself.

I'm not incredible poor or anything. My mother and I are living off of her savings from her last job. I'm 23 years old and working, but I'm not making enough money. I'm earning about $2 (USD) an hour.

I have $200 in an envelope hidden under my bed. I've been clinically depressed, but have recovered from it. For the past 6 years of my life, I've been looking out my window. I feel deprived of the world and have often wondered why all this beauty cannot be freely given to us. All I want to do is to see a few places before I'm thirty, before the reality of my responsibilities really hit me, you know? I just want to be able to capture a few happy moments.

I'm trying to raise/make $2000 by August 2011. Most of it will be for my plane ticket. My best friend is across the world right now, waiting for me. He lives there, and he has a story of his own. We're planning on doing a road trip for however long we can, probably less than a month. We want to work, but mostly volunteer stuff, so the rest of the budget will probably help with the expenses.

My heart is incredibly broken. It's been longing for something out there, you know? I just want to feel like the Earth belongs to me, or even that I belong to the Earth.

I know that there are countless other worthy causes out there, but if you can find compassion for a single person like me, please.... I will be forever grateful.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for at least reading this.

And second, I hope you're feeling blessed yourself.

I'm not incredible poor or anything. My mother and I are living off of her savings from her last job. I'm 23 years old and working, but I'm not making enough money. I'm earning about $2 (USD) an hour.

I have $200 in an envelope hidden under my bed. I've been clinically depressed, but have recovered from it. For the past 6 years of my life, I've been looking out my window. I feel deprived of the world and have often wondered why all this beauty cannot be freely given to us. All I want to do is to see a few places before I'm thirty, before the reality of my responsibilities really hit me, you know? I just want to be able to capture a few happy moments.

I'm trying to raise/make $2000 by August 2011. Most of it will be for my plane ticket. My best friend is across the world right now, waiting for me. He lives there, and he has a story of his own. We're planning on doing a road trip for however long we can, probably less than a month. We want to work, but mostly volunteer stuff, so the rest of the budget will probably help with the expenses.

My heart is incredibly broken. It's been longing for something out there, you know? I just want to feel like the Earth belongs to me, or even that I belong to the Earth.

I know that there are countless other worthy causes out there, but if you can find compassion for a single person like me, please.... I will be forever grateful.

Hello there. My name is Grace, and I am a 28 year old female living in a pool of debt. I've always been so passionate about fashion and beauty ever since I was a little girl. That curiosity eventually left me with a $10,000 debt. I started applying for loans, opening credit cards (when my credit was still an innocent virgin) and started borrowing money from friends and family, while lying about what the money was being used for... I bought everything new that came out every season; bags, clothes, shoes, new skincare products, perfumes, everything they claimed would make you beautiful, I mean EVERYTHING! While I am still trying to pay it off, it just doesn't seem to shrink down!? I would've tried selling all those items that I'd bought for so many years, but I ended up donating them to friends, family, and charity. I can't get anymore loans or open any more credit cards because my credit is so messed up. I can't borrow from friends or family because I lost all the credit from them too. I have nowhere else to turn. I'm having a hard time paying my other bills now that I've moved out of my parents and trying to live it on my own. Everyday, I imagine magically bumping into my Prince Charming so he can save me, but... reality sets in... What man would want to marry me and my $10,000 debt?! Sometimes, I feel kind of innocent because all I was trying to do was to look beautiful... Well, I guess it's what I have to pay for and live with. I dream everyday that if I ever win the lottery, the first thing I would do is pay off my debt and then use the rest of the money for charity, because eventually one day, I want to start an Animal Rescue Group. It's funny how my passion for beauty has turned to animals over the past few years. I really want to help myself and then start helping others. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Any help is forever appreciated! Live long and be healthy!
