Thank You so very much for your help. Heres my story. I am in my early 30s. I am a mother of two loving kids ages 4 and 9. My husband moved out a year ago after a bout of depression, stating "I love you thats why I cant stand to stay here n watch you die like this!" And it is true anyone who has watched a loved one waste away before thier eyes can tell you it eats your soul. In a way I cant blame him. I have hopes we will someday get our family back together. Untill then I am in this alone, and now find my self here asking you for help.
I have several cronic illnesses. Including scoliosis:Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown. My scoliosis curve got worse, the spine rotated and twisted, in addition to curving side to side. This caused the ribs on one side of the body to stick out farther than on the other side. Severe scoliosis can caused back pain and difficulty breathing. In my case In severe scoliosis, the rib cage may press against the lungs and heart, making it more difficult to breathe and harder for the heart to pump.I also experience harsh neurological affects of Muscle weakness, Numbness and Abnormal reflexes. To save my life I had to have surgery.
Surgery involves correcting the curve (although not all the way) and fusing the bones in the curve together. The surgeon lays bone grafts across the exposed surface of each vertebra. These grafts will regenerate, grow into the bone, and fuse the vertebrae together. The bones are held in place with one or two metal rods held down with hooks and screws, helping to support the fusion of the vertebrae.I went through all this at age 13. But now with the onset of sevral more cronic illness complication from the surgery that once saved my life now slowly kill me.
Years later I began getting sicker and sicker by the time I was 20 my spine was degenerating causing horrible pain, I had to have my appendix removed, then gallblader went bad. We never dreamed these all had a common factor. Doctors just shook their head proclaiming :you are just so young for your body to be failing like this". Eventually it was discovered I have Lupus and severe arthritus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the body' s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy organs and tissue. Lupus can affect any part of the body, causing inflammation and damage in joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, or the brain. More than 90% of people with lupus have skin rashes, often triggered by exposure to the sun, and about half have kidney and lung problems. Because lupus affects the joints, it is considered a rheumatic (arthritis) disease.
Upon this discovery things began to make sense. So doctors now knowing why began a body wide check up to see what all has been affected. One test was A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are present in a section of your bone. Your health care provider uses this test, along with other risk factors, to predict your risk of bone fractures in the future and detect osteoporosis. Bone fracture risk is highest in people with osteoporosis. They found I indeed had osteoporosis at the age of 22. SO now My bones are weaking causing damage areas all over my body, but the most serious being in my spine. Now comes the arthritis/lupus, they see these damaged areas and my own imune system attacks. Eating at the damaged areas creating even more damage, which increases the area the lupus attacks. It is a vicious circle. I have now been treated with medication over 10 yrs. But they can only slow the illness there is no cure, and dure to my scoliosis and the metal rods in my back surgical treatment options are very limited.
The damage is so severe I was decared legally disabled by the age of 23. My only income is SSI. I have to support my children and I on 658.00 a month. Thank God the court issued my ex to pay my rent in lue of child support. I am asking for help to cover upcoming medical bills. In the last 14 months I have had 5 seperate kidney surgery. My right kidney is damaged and I will soon be having a 6th surgery. This one to remove damaged section of the tube that leads from the kidney to bladder. then they will reattach at a higher section of bladder. I will aslo be having several Jaw surgeries. Due to exposure to radiation, osteoperosis a excessive vomiting of stomache acid my teeth are breaking and falling out. The doctor needs to repair what they can and put in inplants for what they cant. This will slow the degineration of my jaw. Without this treatment my jaw is going to cave in. Currently I am only able to eat mushy foods. I have drastically lost weight and my body is stuggling to heal due to the stress, pain and infection. So I hunbly beg of you to help me 1.00 or 50.00 anything would help. These procedures will not only improve my quality of life but aslo help extend my time here on earth just a little ehile longer. I just want to be with my kids as long as I can.Whith each dollar you donate its like adding an hour to my life.....What would you give for a few more hours with the ones you love?

Hi,

im a 23 year old woman, married with a mortgage and a full time poorly paid job. i wouldnt do this unless i was absoultly desperate but please here my story.

ive got a special body - i was born with two uteruses and two ovaries. *great your thinking, theres no reason why she cant get pregnant*. unfortunatly i wish that was the case. each ovary is only connected to one womb. only one of my wombs has a passage for "sailors" to do their job. i also have polycystic ovaries (which means i dont ovulate without ibtervention from medication* i was told from being a teenager it would be diffuclt/ dangerous to get pregnant.

on top of that i was also born with severe kidney failure, I only have 1 working kidney and the other one is really tiny with cysts on it. My doctors estimate i will be on dialisis within 10 years if my kidney continues to fail as fast have they have. My kidney function is currently only working at 25%.

i have diabetes type 1 (insulin) and I was also born with a hereditary bones disorder called, Multipul Ephiseal Displasure. i know what your thinking, *theres no way this girl is being serious* well believe me, if could take anyone of these away i would in a heartbeat.

now despite all of this, after 3 years of trying to get pregnant i succeeded dispite what the doctors said. unfortunatly this ended in miscarriage due to my health problems. my world broke, i was depressed for months because my special sweetpea my only dream, had been taken away from me in the most horrific way imaginable.

this was 3 years ago - we still havent been caught pregnant again (bearing in mind sweetpea was nigh on a miracle). we have tried numerous methods and advice and intervention from doctors. doctors are now advising it wouldnt be safe to get pregnant again as the chanes of miscarrage are high and i would more than likely be on dialisys as pregnancy takes it toll on your whole body.. ie kidneys.

im still heartbroken after losing my little miracle and we are now looking to fund 1 round of IVF in a surrogate mum. please help me with our dream. We need roughly £5000.00 to fund the bills and without your help, it would take us roughly 10-15 years to save that amount of money up. we are desen, honest, hardworking people who are doing anything to make their dream a relaity again.

please donate.

I am dying of cancer(stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread to my bones).The doctors have told me I could die as soon as December of 2012.The treatment I have been getting for a year(chemical castration) has stopped working as normally happens.My PSA is starting to go up again.The doctors will only be able to give me palliative care-drugs for pain and then chemo and radiation only to relieve severe bone pain.I am 58 and have been staying at a homeless shelter for five months now,waiting for these people to help me get housing.The environment here is not good for somebody with my health problems.Because it is a mixed shelter,the noise level is constant and very high from screaming and crying kids and their mothers yelling at them.Also.because I am not a veteran,I feel my case is being put on the back burner because there is a big push to get all the veterans on the street housed because of all the federal money coming to the shelters for that purpose.Don't get me wrong-the vets have earned priority because of their sacrifices.I would just like to get enough rent money to spend my last months in a more peaceful place.By the way,I probably got the prostate cancer from being exposed to cadmium every working day in my first job in California from 1973 to 1976.I am in the Los Angeles area.

well, IF they approve it, have to survive for 2 years of processing to find out if I even get it!


Hi, and thank you for reading my plea :)

Last year I was declared permanently disabled by my doctor. ( I was on short term disability before that at work but they cut me off at 4 months instead of the year my seniority had earned). This sudden cutoff started my financial downfall into a spin. My job didn't "fire" me or "let me go", they just kept me active (out for medical issues), until I was no longer able to qualify for unemployment. If I had quit, then I would not have received any medical benefits any longer! In the mean time, I started the Social Security process, (which also does not allow unemployment claims) well. it takes 2 years to even see a judge, but somehow I am supposed to survive with no income until then! Ahhh but you are not allowed to work because then the judge feels you shouldn't be filing....( I mean, I am willing to lick stamps or something!) but strangely enough - I would be allowed (if doctor permitted something) AFTER I am approved, up to a certain amount of money. Whacked, right? So, here I am. I am supposed to see the doctor at least once a month for court purposes, but they don't really say how you are supposed to be able to afford to see him, if you can't have any income! My family has been so awesome helping me the best they can, but my parents are in a fixed income and elderly...my sisters have full families and their own struggles. I am so frustrated, I am not used to feeling like I can't take care of myself! I am sure you realize what kind of financial things I need help with..basic living. I am allowed to have food stamps - so thank goodness for that. I need assistance please with things like electricity, water, garbage, doctor, medication and gas for my car occasionally to get to the Dr...I do not have TV (about 1 1/2 years now) as it is a luxury, my parents offered to pay for my internet connection, which I am extremely grateful for...this is how I am able to post to all of you. I feel so weird posting this, and yes it is a bit humiliating. But I cannot stand to see my family go down the tubes because of what happened to me! Please consider helping me in anyway that you can. I have always helped others my entire life and I promise i will continue to do so as I can, can't help it - it is in my bones! LOL

I have never like to ask for money, but I can seem to figure out another way. I will start by telling you a little bit about what is going on. After my husband and I were married his health only allowed him to hold down a job for short periods of time. In 2004, he had to be off for 8 months with carpal tunnel surgery for both hands. Shortly after, he had to have a hernia surgery. In 2007, he had to have neck fusion. The doctors told him that he would be able to return to work in 2 months. The surgery didn't go right and he never recovered properly. It took two years before he evenually got his disablity. In 2009, he began having problems walking. In 2010, he was diagnosed with Gilleon Barre Syndrom. He was temporarily parilized. He spent several months in a wheel chair. He had almost recovered and had learned to walk again when in September 2011, he had a bad 4 wheeler wreck. It broke most of his ribs, both collar bones and both shoulder blades, fractured a bone in his neck, broke bones in his hand and punctured both lungs. He is doing okay now except for the pain that he has to live with. I work part time, because I have to help care for him also. We have over 20 different hospital bills that I have to make payments on each month. We are surviving thanks to God. But we live in a single wide 1976 modile trailer. It has holes all the way through the bottom in the corners of the bedrooms. The walls are rotten and the wiring is bad. There is a short in the outside porch light and one of the lights in the kitchen and the hall light. We have to get another place to live. There is no way we can do it with all of the hospital bills that we have. We are falling further behind every month. We each month. I don't want a huge home, just something that my son won't be ashamed to bring friends home to. Anything you could give would be greatly appreciated. It will take a long time to get as much as I need, but I will keep you posted. Thanks so much for any thing you can do.

My name is Toni, I am 59 and live in Texas. I have advanced breast cancer. My cancer has spread to my bones. I am unable to work. This is really hard for me to swallow my pride and ask for help. I am in need of financial help because of debt related to my cancer and because my house had a slab leak and my homeowner's insurance does not cover that kind of flooding in a home. If you can help me with a donation towards my debt and home rehab I would be grateful. Any donation appreciated. I will pay it forward if you can help me.

I don't know how this really works, or if it even does, but at this point I've tried everything else, I've written to Dr. Phil, Opera, The Doctors, Maury and Steve Wilkos and I'm at my breaking point. My beautiful daughter who is about to turn 12 in January has had 1 wish since she was 2 years old. She wants to go to DISNEY WORLD. Her PaPa told her when she turned 5, he would take her, well here we are at almost 12 and he broke his promise to her and broke her heart. My daughter has CUSHINGS DISEASE, If you don't know what that is please google it, it is a terrible disease that is destroying my daughters body. It causes her to be extremely obese, muscle pain, thinning of the bones and so much more. This disease not only affects her body, it affects her in so many other ways, she just started 6th grade and already has several bullies making fun of her because of her appearance. This is a little girl who loves life! She loves to do so many things, sing, dance, and hang out with her friends. She has the biggest heart you'll ever know and would do anything in the world for you. She is my world. She has been through so much in the past 2 years. The loss of her grandmother, which whom we lived with, my mother was my daughters world. The loss of our home has also had a toll on her, us having to live in a motel or with a friend when they can have us, messes with her routine, having to up root her and go here and there. I just can't afford a place of our own right now, paying for medicines and doctors appointments for the both of us and my son whom has Tourrettes leaves me with very little. I am on disability and we have to live off of my check, which is not enough. I know the last thing I should think about is going to DISNEY, but It would make my daughter so happy, and for once, something she has wished for could possibly come true. I so desperately want to do this for her. What a wonderful gift it would be. If there is anyway anyone could help me with this request, please contact me via email @ dolfinfanatic@gmail.com as I do not have the funds to obtain a pay pal account. Thank you so very much for taking the time to read my plea. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND GOD BLESS.

A Desperate Plea for HELP… Donations for Luxating Patella Surgery!


I have a Service Dog named FiFi who is a Medical Alert Dog.
My Service Dog has been diagnosed with an extreme case of Severe Bilateral Medical Luxating Patella, confirmed by two separate veterinarians, who consider it to be a chronic and serious medical condition. The grooves in her femurs, where the kneecaps are supposed to ride, are very shallow and have caused her kneecaps to slip out of socket to the inside of the legs. Her kneecaps cannot be manipulated back into place by hand.
She has developed the condition bilaterally, on both sides, her condition is at a Grade 5 out of 5 in both hind knees, which is the most severe, and she needs surgery ASAP on both limbs.

The Luxating Patellas are causing constant pain and discomfort, decreased energy level, tiring quickly, bony protuberances, bowlegged, crouching stance, swollen knees and joints, poor coordination, loss of balance, limited mobility, stiffness when walking, a change in posture, lack of appetite, and arthritis pain.
When she is able to walk she does so with one of her hind legs further out from her body, while the other affected limb is always being carried because it is much too painful to use. For the most part, she must balance her weight on her front legs as she walks, while holding her hindquarters off the ground, which is severely uncomfortable to say the least. She is no longer able to walk, or even stand on her left hind leg, and is not able to move it.

The recommendation is for her to have corrective surgery on both knees within 2 weeks. The surgeon advised that, if left untreated, the condition will worsen and may lead to rupture of the cruciate ligament as well as painful deformation of the leg bones as she continues to grow. The surgery involves deepening the trochlear groove and modifying the joint capsule to prevent the kneecap from slipping out. If there is significant deformation of the leg bones, they will have to be cut, realigned and pinned. She will have approximately 8 weeks of recovery time.

As you can imagine, this surgery will not be cheap. The estimated cost (at a reduced price) is approx. $1,900 to $2,000, per leg, not including pre-op lab work, post-op rechecks, X-rays, narcotic pain medicine, a custom-built Wheelchair for Toy Breeds (to help her get around), plus miscellaneous other medical supplies that she will need after surgery. The Wheelchair (as prescribed by her Veterinarian) must be ordered online and costs $249.00+ Tax + Shipping and Handling charges).

If FiFi does not get the surgery she needs she will be forced to live a life of constant pain with a permanent luxation that could develop into degenerative joint changes, bone deformities of the femur and tibia, and may not be able to walk ever again!

Any donation that you can make towards FiFi's surgery would be greatly appreciated!

FiFi is an adorable Toy Pomeranian with a Sweet and Loving Disposition; a Sparkling Personality and Magical Charm. She is very clever, well-mannered, and is unusually calm and quiet. She is one smart dog!
She has brought so much Joy and Blessing into my life; I can't ever imagine life without her! Wherever I go, FiFi brings out the best in people. I know she brings out the best in me. I have formed a special bond with FiFi. She is not only my Service Dog; she is also my Best Friend and part of my Family.

My dog is a Service Dog, and she's paid her dues. It is a lot of money, but my dog deserves it. She's only 7 years old.

If it were for me, I would not ask for help.

But it's for FiFi!

Thank you all in advance for your donations, prayers and support!!


P.S. I can provide good personal and veterinary references to testify that I am a loving and responsible pet parent. I can also provide medical documentation from FiFi’s Veterinarian to verify her diagnosis and medical condition.

Definition of Luxating Patella:

(Luxated Patellas are a congenital (present at birth) condition. The actual luxation may not be present at birth, but the structural changes which lead to luxation are present. A Luxating Patella, or Patellar Luxation, is a condition that involves the dislocation of the knee cap, where it rotates to either the inside or the outside of the leg. A Luxating Patella can result from a traumatic injury or from a birth defect, but it is primarily passed down through ancestral genes).
Grade IV. The Patella cannot be replaced manually, and the leg is carried or used in a crouching position. Extension of the stifle is virtually impossible. Tibial rotation is quite severe, resulting in a "bow legged" appearance.

I feel very ashamed of myself having to resort to this, but I am desperate to get back on my feet and take care of my son the way he deserves.
I had to leave my job due to a pesky pulmonary nodule causing breathing problems and causing me to pass out at work. I started working in a MLM type of company as an independent contractor, but first our car broke down, then we fixed it; but then I lost car insurance and registration due to expiration (no money to pay for it). I have had to borrow and repay money for rent three months in a row and my car is starting to go AGAIN...it is a 1999 Cadillac Deville with 134,000 miles, so I guess I can't complain. In the past 4 weeks, I went from a healthy 137lbs to 119lbs of skin and bones; I refuse to eat unless my son has healthy food to eat, but I am starting to feel tired and confused due to malnutrition. I don't need hundreds of thousands of dollars; I just want to get ahead. I am fortunate that my son, his father and I are able to move with friends next month, but I still have $1290 to pay on December 5th for rent so as not to lose security deposit. I need the money to get caught up on general bills, totaling approximately $3300 as well as groceries for December $400-500. I am also in need of my bipolar medication that I have not been able to aquire in 6 months when my financial situation started to decline due to poor health, car troubles, loss of tuiton money and general misfortune. I can pay out of pocket for school; I lost financial aid because I had to withdrawal for health and family reasons-2 semesters in a row of withdrawals or poor grades cause the financial aid dept to drop you. I am not a bad student and I was even inducted into Phi Theta Kappa in October 2008 for academic excellence. To sum it up; I just want to be on my feet again. I hate that my son sees mommy and daddy cry every night, because we don't know from one day to the next...will the electric get shut off next? How will we get food? Thankfully our rent will be severely reduced starting January 1st, but I just want..NEED to get ahead for once. I have sold everything I own...including my $2500 engagement ring, which I sold for a whole $145 for groceries. I do have three designer bags I haven't sold yet; I was planning to sell for Christmas money for my son, but anyone who donates and is interested, can have them. I will be eternally grateful for anyone to be kind enough to donate! If I could just receive a total of at least $5000 for bills, rent and groceries, I will be the happiest woman alive. I am not too concerned with my medication, because it is $140 per month that CAN wait, if need be. My son's well-being and future means more to me than anything. I am sorry if this is a jumbled mess; I am extremely worn out and I cannot seem to muster the thoughts to put with the emotions I am feeling right now. Thank you for any generosity and I hope that without the premium Beglist account, my story is able to find anyone willing to help a family in need.

I have had Samson for 13 years, (12 years, 9months)We have been through thick and thin together and always pull through. Recently I noticed him pawing his snout after chewing on his chew bones and realizing after a day or two he started rubbing his snout on everything, it was not getting better. So I took him to the vet, and they informed me he has an back Molar Tooth Abscess. They even showed it to me. "ICK" Estimated bill from the vet is $321.86 - $394.36 depending on complications. If anyone can pass this on or even donate a dollar or two, I would be so thankful in so many ways.

The reason I am asking for help on this vet bill is because my fiancee' was just released from the hospital after a week in Critical care and a week in recovery from a past accident and surgery issues sneaking up on him. We have plans to move to a house in Missouri after the first of the year. I quit my job a few weeks early to take care of my fiancee' till he can walk and get around by himself again, which did not leave room for many more surprises such as this vet visit. We managed to save these last few years for the home in Missouri, enough to make my car payment and insurance, move with, and a little to fall back on till I start work down there. Though I am hunting for a holiday/seasonal job in the area. The vet highly suggest this needs to be taken care of now to prevent risk of infection getting into the blood stream.

I'm terrified of him having to be sedated, and even more so of the tooth infection getting worse, I don't want him to be in pain but I need a hand with this bill. We have already cut out Christmas presents this year so we can afford to move. If not, I would of gladly sold them all to pay for his health, but I have nothing left to sell. Samson's mom lived to be18 years old, and though he is old, he is in the prime of his health and you would never guess his age. I want many many many more years with him at my side.

Thank you for your time, holidays are tough on everyone, money is tight all around. I, out of everyone understand that. Anything will help even a $1. I promise in return I will update his progress with how everything goes.

My cat nemo, who we found in a box near a highway, has a deformed leg where there are few bones, and those will not grow with the cat, nemo is in terrible pain, we want to take it to a vet to have it looked at by it costs 50$, please any amount of money will help!

Ive had a yellow lab for the past 3 years, and it has been my best dog i have ever had. buddy and i have been best friends since the day i brought him home. well, he was just hit by a car on my road, and i have no idea how to pay for it. my parents dont have enough money to pay for the $3,000 it will cost to help save him. he has internal bleeding, internal injuries, broken bones and various lacerations. I dont know where else to go for money, none of my friends seem to have any desire to help me out, and the humane society here doesnt deal with things of that nature. help would be a miracle.

I am looking for any donations I can get to support a lengthy stay in the Joplin Missouri area to help with the Tornado clean up. I just lost my job for not willing to comply with their illegal practices and strive to always do the right thing, no matter what or how it may set me back. Anyway, I have contacted the Red cross,and United way, yet these services are so inundated with what has happened that I think I have gotten lost in their system after letting them know I am available. I also signed up with "show me response" Which is a organization that uses medical professionals that want to volunteer. I am a Licensed EMT and worked on a ambulance service for 8 years so I hope they can utilize me somewhere, yet have had no response from them as of yet either.

After losing my job and the impact of the economy the last few years I have virtually lost everything I have. I currently have nothing, no car, no home (staying in a hotel) and soon no money. Instead of feeling sorry for myself and my situation I want go to Joplin and help those who have lost everything too. I lost mine over time they lost theirs in minuets. In Joplin the still standing hotels are sold out, the remaining people and volunteers are staying in tents in peoples yards. I did make contact with a lady who offered for me to camp in her yard, but I have no tent. So my purpose of being on here is just to ask some kind hearted people who may not have the option of going to Joplin on their own to help, to sponsor me to get there and get the few things I need so I can help the people who need it.

This is not a scam and am not using this disaster for personal gain through this site, and if anyone has done that or trying to do that just remember God and Karma will someday hold you accountable!! Please help me with my cause if you can:) Thank you. PS if I get enough people to sponsor me to go there, I will email them on a weekly basis of my progress there, as well as try to send photos of whats going on with the clean up. (emails will depend on available wifi connections)

Here is what I am needing : 45.00 for bus ticket Kansas City to Joplin (Jefferson Lines). 49.00 for a Tent, 40.00 for steel toed boots (from Walmart), 15.00 for leather gloves, 5.00 for safety glasses, 30.00 for a used hardhat. and any donations for the purchase of food while I am there you can offer.

There may be food available for volunteers but would rather go down there and not deplete any of their resources as some people have gone down to capitalize on others misfortunes according to some news articles I have seen.

These things are the bare bones I need in order to be able to do this. Since I am unemployed I have the time to go and help, I just don't have the above resources and you can help me so I can help others. Thank you for your time in reading about my cause. Please Donate thanks :)

Hello World!!! I need your help desperately. I have Stage IV Breast Cancer with metastatic sites to my long bones. I have a right broken hip which has shortened my right leg by two inches. My left humerus had a hole the size of Calcutta, however it did get a nice big pin. I am receiving Social Security which does cover my rent and utilities. The State of California awarded me In Home Support Services for 117.8 hours per month which is wonderful with a BIG BUT!!! Since I receive $1156.00/month from Social Security and the federal poverty level is $607.00/month, I have to pay her the first $566.00 a month of her salary. I dont have it and will never have it. I live on a tight budget and don't have an extra $566.00/month. I need my caregiver. Since I cannot drive, cannot walk for any type of distance, she is my legs and my arms. She comes to my apartment daily and helps me get in and out of the shower and the usual things that we take for granted. She cannot continue to work for half of her salary and I understand this. She also has a family to feed.
Any help and every dollar will go to pay her the $1500.00 that I owe her.
Thank you and god bless.

My husband was a Police Officer for 19.5 years. He was injured on the job in 1998 but through surgery and physical therapy he was able to go back to work as a full duty police officer. At that time in 1998, the neurosurgeon who performed his surgery (chipped bones in his neck) told him he would need a second surgery in approx. 10-12 years, totally related to the first injury.(we chose not to have a fusion of C5-C6-C7 so that he could go back to work) He had his second surgery in April 2010 and hasn't been back to work since. He has used all his sick time, holidays, vacation time and donated time by other officers as of Jan. 17, 2011 and we have been without pay since. The Police Pension Board has been playing games with us, sending him to 3 of their own doctors (doctors who don't specialize in this area) and we have 3 of our own drs who say he is disabled and unable to return to work as a police officer. (So a total of 5 drs say he is disabled - the 6th dr. still unclear) The village will not give him light duty. Our lawyer is costing a fortune that we don't have, and we are still waiting for the board to be "decent" and "helpful" to a fellow police officer and give my husband a 50% disabilty without prejudice until the hairs are split for the on-duty disability of 65% but they refuse. I am currently working two jobs (hourly wage) we are unable to purchase our presscriptions, we are unable to purchase groceries, other than necessities, our credit cards are maxed out which we used to pay utilities. After giving 19.5 years as a fulltime Police Officer, the dangers on a daily basis that he has faced, and I as his wife, have feared for his safety for the past 23 years (he was a part-time police officer for 3 years prior to full-time)and this pension board and village cannot see the pain and suffering they are causing. We are not beggers, we need assistance to stay in our home,(we're late on our mortgage)we are Christian people who will pay it forward as we can. Please consider helping us, maybe next time you need 911 in an emergency and a cop shows up at your door - apprciate what he does, he may save your life, or the life of someone you know. NO POLICE OFFICER should be treated the way my husband is being treated.

I need help to pay bills. I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs. I have just had some bad luck the last few years. Feb 1997 I suffered a back injury at work and my life spiraled out of control Any amount of money or financial assistance would be appreciated.I am struggling to survive.

The Short story; of how I got where I am today.
I was living fine, working two jobs full time construction work, and a paid on call Fire Fighter, I had a Great income. Life was good.
then in Feb 1997 I suffered a back injury at work and my life spiraled out of control. I was diagnosed with degenerative disk diseases. A condition were my disc between my vertebrae are Dissolving, so no cushion between my bones and they rub and pinch my nerves, causing me sever back pain.
Then came the Debit, The Repossessions, the Foreclosure, my wife left me taking my kids while I was still in the hospital, we Divorce, and then I was homeless all within 6 short months after my injury. My income would never be the same.
Since then I have struggled to get a job to support my garnishments and medical bills. The IRS take 75% after tax, and my Student loan demands 25%, of my income. well you can do the math. To make matters even worse, because the garnishment is not the full payment they damand, THE STATE Add interest charges so I will never get ahead.
things have gotten so bad that, I am essentially homeless. I am staying between friends houses only to sleep and take showers. i had to let my car insurance laps which worries me alot, and the most of my money goes to food, and gas to dirve to jobs/shelters or friends, it also seconds as my room for the night sometimes.I am taking whatever light work jobs that comes my way just to eat.

PLEASE I need help. im at the end of my rope.

ill take any job abvove $15 per hr to cover garnishments, or some donation, im not picky. I Do have skills just no job wanting a disable person to work for them.

Can anyone please help me.

For twenty years I have been married to a violent alcoholic women who has made my life miserable.She has a very nasty mouth and I have slept outside on the beach and park on many occasions to stay away.She has broken many bones in my body over the years when drunk by hitting with anything she can lay her hands on. She has recently violated avo's and good behavior bonds and has been imprisoned for 7 months pending rehab. I recently went to Philippines to get away and to start a new life with a wonderful person whom i have come to love very much, however my planning was wrong and had to come home. I need $10000 quickly so I can go back to my wonderful lady and set up the business that we had planned.
My life here in Australia is virtually over as my wife has turned everyone, including my family against me.
