My Story
Posted by Eliabe on 2012-03-11 23:58:20
(Note: You may see this same post on beggingmoney.com)
My name is Eliabe. I am an 18-year-old guy from Brazil and I need your donation because I need to move away but I can't afford it.
Let me tell you why.
I grew up being abused by my dad -- emotionally and sexually. I did not realize what was happening until recently. I still have to deal with the consequences. I became social phobic, anxious and depressed. I am still afraid, disgusted of and uncomfortable with touch and closeness, yet I am dying for it. An African therapist agreed to help me for free, so I am getting better but only very recently am I making progress.
Three, almost four, years ago (2008), my family rejected me over religious issues. I wanted to join this Sabbatarian Christian religious association (this particular sect is a minority in Brazil and honestly everywhere else but they're more present in the US and England) and my family rejected me and reproached me so severely that it radically changed my personality. They wanted to throw me away. I was only 15. I had nowhere to go. I was deeply shocked and shaken on the inside. I never knew I could feel so hurt! I had never expected such sudden rejection from them. My mom said I was a disappointment to her and that I would not stay under the same ceiling as hers if I wanted to keep my faith. My siblings made fun of me and my new beliefs. My father demonized me and said he'd take me to their religious authorities to âstraighten me out.â They accused me of bringing a curse into our lives and treated me as a shame to the family ("What will others think?" they wondered). My relatives (uncles, aunts, cousins -- I have a big family) were all against me too. I did not tell my friends because they belonged to the same religion as my parents. I started isolating from everybody. I became very deeply depressed. I would sleep just not to have to be awake and suffering.
It was really overwhelming to me. I had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. The congregation was out of town. So I decided to give up on joining that group. However, I did not stop believing in them but I had to pretend to be in my parents' religion on the outside.
But then my life became a nightmare. I had bad dreams at night. I became paranoid. Every time I was outside, I would walk around the house many times before taking the courage to go in. My heart would pound every time the phone or doorbell rang or someone called my name or asked about my religion. I would feel sick and go pale every time someone initiated a conversation about religion with me. I was traumatized. I am only getting better now. I fainted many times as I got weak because my mom refused to cook clean kosher dishes for me. I canât even begin to describe all the sacrifices and pains I had to go through not to lose my identity. I canât, for example, go out on a date or have a serious friendship because I am hiding the most important part of myself. Try to have a relationship where you do things you canât explain the other party. Do you think it can ever work? My friendships are all shallow because of that.
I am a recent high school graduate. I took a basic course on administrative services and telemarketing last year, paid by the government as part of a program in Brazil called âJovem Aprendizâ (âYoung Apprenticeâ in English). As part of that course, I am working part-time, supposedly to acquire experience in the field, though I actually work as a warehousing assistant in the company (completely unrelated to administrative services). As I only work part-time (4 hours a day), I only receive HALF the minimum wage, which means I earn about $2 per hour. Yes, I could save that money to achieve my goals. It would take over two years but it would be possible. But I can't at the moment because I have to support my parents and siblings. My brother also works and my dad has recently found a job after three years of unemployment but I still have to give them a significant part of my salary or else we will starve. Also, even if I could, Iâd still be desperate because I have been suffering for almost FOUR YEARS!
So I want to move away because I want to be free to convert and live my life, have friends, a girlfriend and a normal life. I got a passport and contacts in the United States. They can help me once I am there but they canât buy my plane tickets as they cost over $800! There are also additional costs as I need a visa. I am currently looking for a job there. There have been people who want to hire me but they stopped contacting me after learning of the costs they would have to pay.
So please help me. It is the ONLY way for me to be happy again! It doesnât matter how much you donate. It will make a HUGE difference.
Thank you very much. God bless you!

Hello, please help me with your financial support so that I can grow my Ministry! Please Read!
Posted by Jenning on 2012-02-05 09:58:33
My name is Uweye Jenning Onoriode, a Pastor, from Nigeria; I greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Peace from God the father and the Lord Jesus Christ. You don't know me neither do I, but don't be chased out, I sent out this message to many over the internet seeking financial assistance for My Ministry.
This may surprise you, as it is kind of strange to see this happen over the internet, but don't be scared, I am a Christian, and I come to you in peace. But before I continue, I want to note a sounding fact here which is that, you may have been a victim of internet scam, and it may have caused you heart breaks; this may have discouraged you from given attention to any internet request or offer. But I tell you, what I bring to you is not just an offer neither is it a request, but it is an opportunity to succeed. Yes! It is!
The reason I ask for financial support on the internet, and what it is been used for is briefly outlined below as you read on. I am the leader of a church congregation, and we are just starting out as a church, as a new ministry, as a vision, we need finances to run some certain church projects. Right now, we are in need of about $800 which is about N120, 000 in the Nigerian currency (Naira). Now, we cannot afford this money all by ourselves. And as a start, we are all young people, majority of us are students because we are starting out in a schooling environment, I mean that we are starting as a ministry on campus, university campus here in Nigeria, and you know that students hardly get good money for feed, not to talk about money to give towards the church projects which is very strenuous for them now at this level.
Now, we need musical instruments and equipments, and also, we need some amount of money to finance some other ministry projects, and all these are costing us money. The estimate of what all these are costing us is $800.
You can visit our website to know more about Us @
http://www.ministry.thlicm.cn.to
The Bible encourages us to give towards his work, in the Book of Ecclesiastes 11:1;
'Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.â
This is an admonishment from God the master through the wisdom of solomon to us who are his children that we should sow our seed to the anointing as the waters used there refers to the anointing. The word of God tells us in the book of Psalm 126:5-6,
'May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy! He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.'
You see that? Please, don't think in your heart that I am persuading you with the word of God for personal financial gains. Oh no! God is my witness in spirit to genuineness of intentions by this message. But if the Lord lays it in your heart to give to us a token, whatever you want to give to us, whatever you have to give to us, then we will gladly accept it in the name of Jesus! Like I will always say, given to God is personal, so it is not a force, neither of necessity nor of compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver; as He admonishes in the Book of 2Corunthians 9:7-8,
'Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work.'
You see this exhortation from the Lord? God always want you give towards every good work. And the good work He is talking about here is the works that advances and promotes his kingdom.
May God richly bless you in this period of celebration as you give to us in the establishment of our ministry in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
I trust the Holy-Spirit of God to lay it in your heart to send us a seed. If you are touched, and the Holy-Ghost has laid it in your heart to give to us, and you are willing to do so, then send it to us through the 'Western Union Money Transfer' only.
Note that for now, we choose to use the 'Western Union Money Transfer' only because we yet don't have any other easy process of receiving online funds. So the 'Western Union Money Transfer' is preferable to us and easily accessible. Thanks!
Below are the details with which you can use in sending the money to us;
Name: Uweye Jenning Onoriode
Country: Nigeria
Zip Code: 234
Postal Code: 999999

My main dilemma started about 2 years ago when I was in my last semester in college and I did not pay for my tuition that semester. I have not received my degree as a result and charges have been added to what I owed since then and finally my University sent the debt to the state's revenue department for collection and they've added their own fees. Things have really come to a head now because I am actually an international student and after spending the past couple years in mostly unpaid internships because I have no certificate to show employers and being unable to work other jobs that do not require a degree because it's illegal with my status, my visa has expired and I have to leave the country in a couple weeks and I don't have the degree I came to the US to get.
With the little payments I've been able to make subtracted, I now owe $11633. I know that that is a great deal of money especially as I've racked up other debts that takes the money I'll need to truly get out of all trouble to about $15000. But I really have nothing at all right now and any amount of money at all will help, $5, $100, anything.
And though I know paying back $15000 will take years for me to do if anyone has that to spare, I would want to do that for my own peace of mind. But it's obvious that anyone willing to lend me that with no security and just my intention to finally get out of this rut, get a good job and pay back over a period that will hopefully not exceed 5 years will probably be someone who can comfortably give away that amount but respects my need to eventually pay it all back through paypal probably from another part of the world.
I know I am completely to blame for all the stress in my life today and this is no sob story but my problems are very real and you will be bringing great relief to someone in trouble who has not been able to think about anything else for a long time. Thank you.
Grateful for any amount of help.

Stay-at-Home Wife & Kids Abandoned by Husband
Posted by bootsie715 on 2011-10-27 04:58:09
My soon-to-be ex-husband cheated on me for 3 years at least 9 different times. At first I was in denial about his double life, but eventually I came to terms with it and just decided to try to stick it out a bit longer for the sake of my stepkids. They moved here from England in 2007 and I've been raising them since then. They're 17 and 19, and I was trying to wait till they both graduated high school before filing for divorce. I also have a 2 year old with him. I kept his infidelity a secret and carried the burden on my own, not even telling my family, until...the kids found texts in his phone last June to the woman who is now his fiance. In June I had to call the police because he nearly got into a fistfight with my stepson and physically got into my face as well, plus he told all of us that he was going to kill himself, but this has become a frequent ploy for manipulation by him. I have been primarily a stay-at-home mom the past 2 years bringing in only a few hundred a month. He was the primary breadwinner bringing home $4000-5000 a month. He moved out and moved in with this woman a block away from us, has not spent more than 5 hours with any of the kids since June, and refuses to provide any child support for any of the kids aside from paying the health insurance (which his work pays for), paying his car insurance, and only recently giving his 17 year old a few hundred dollars a month which she has to save for her bills too. I have been forced to figure out how to make ends meet and raise and support the kids on my own. I love my stepkids and happily will continue raising them and figuring it all out, working what I can and taking loans from whoever is willing to help. It's just really stressful and really tough right now.
I knew I was headed to a divorce, but I had no idea he would just abandon all of us completely like he has. And to top it all off, he has become very psychologically and emotionally abusive towards me and even sometimes towards the kids. Oh yeah, he also had no sense of self-control as far as spending goes, and he ballooned our debt up to almost $50,000, though some of that is medical debt as well. I'm facing divorce and bankruptcy on my own with 3 kids. As I type this I don't even know how I hold it together, but I've managed to. I'm healing and getting stronger and more able to put the pieces back together for the kids and I, but this is a BIG hole we're in, trying to escape, and it may be embarrassing to admit as an educated individual who never thought I'd be in these shoes, but I need help. If you are willing to help us, we would really appreciate it and it would truly make a huge difference in our lives. This feels so bizarre asking for help online like this, but I think it's an awesome way to really be able to help those in need. I'm glad I found it so that we too will be able to help others who need it most. In the meantime, thank you again for all your help at this extremely difficult, stressful and emotionally taxing time. You have no idea how much it helps knowing that people you don't even know care about if you and your kids are going to be okay. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Tropically ever after

Please help

I have not done this before, but I am at the end of my rope. I was a newspaper reporter for 11 years. The last two newspapers I worked for went out of business. Since it has become increasingly difficult to work for newspapers, I have been trying to get my own writing and editing business going. In my spare time, I have been looking for other employment, but I have been unable to find a job. I am bringing in very little money. My husband makes enough money to exclude us from government help, but not enough to put food on the table to feed everyone daily. And, today our water got shut off.
I have Type 1 diabetes, which costs roughly $300 per month for supplies. We have a four-year-old child that had to have dental work to fill cavities. Sometimes, we struggle to fill her lunch box for school.
To top it all off, I am trying to get across the country to see my grandfather before he dies. I cannot afford to make the trip.
Please help us. We are hard working people who need help. Please.
Logan's Heros
Posted by cori00125 on 2011-09-17 17:58:47
On February 18th, 2011 our son Logan (age 10) was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. He was not having many symptoms only occasional headaches. I was concerned that he may have been developing migraines and so I took him to see our family physician. His physical exam was normal including a rather thorough neurological exam. Dr. Arntz agreed with my initial thought and prescribed him some migraine medication. What a relief! He asked us to get a CT scan of Logan's head only as a precaution and he even stated that he didn't think there was any real concern, just a precaution. 5 days later, we were heading to the University of Michigan; Mott's childrens hospital because his precautionary CT scan had confirmed the worst for us. A 6 cm brain tumor in the posterior fossa of Logan's brain. Causing the cerebral spinal fluid to back up and create pressure in his head (hence the headaches).
Before leaving the house for the hospital we gave Logan a brief description of the problem, and explained to him that we didn't know what was going to happen next but we were going to the hospital to find out. You could see the worry on him but he was tough, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I guess I better call it something, I think I'll name it Steve." So off we went, notifying family on the way to the hospital, and completely sick to my stomach.
Three days later we would embark on the scariest days of my life. Logan was promptly scheduled for surgery the following Monday and we were told there was a high probability that the tumor was cancerous. Dr. Cormac Maher performed 14 hours of brain surgery on Logan on Monday February 21st, and confirmed our fears that Logan indeed had a cancerous brain tumor called medulloblastoma. Then more bad news the post operative MRI showed that they had been able to remove all of the tumor and Logan would need more surgery. The next day he underwent another 6 hours of brain surgery. We caught it early but based on where the tumor sat he may not be able to talk or walk normally for 3-6 months. Lucky for us he talks and walks very well all things considered. But there has been radiation therapy and chemo therapy will continue until February or March of next year. There is a 75-80% chance of survivability, I feel blessed with those odds.
Logan is doing very well but this situation has put an incredible financial burden on us. I am falling behind on bills and need help. Andy is working constantly and I even started a second job on the weekends to try to help supplement the lost income from prescriptions, gas to and from the hospital, and just having to take time off work for appointments and Logan's sick days... I don't know what else to do. The banks have tried thankfully to work with us but our circumstance is not going to change for quite awhile longer. Our family's do not have a lot of money, and have already tried to help so much that I think it may be putting a strain on them as well. The church sends gas cards occasionally but there is just not enough to keep us going for the next year.
Here' s the kicker, Logan started his own Relay for Life team. I had taken him to a local expo about 3 weeks after he had been discharged from the hospital because I thought it would be good exercise for him to walk around and there would be lot's to look at, and there was a booth for the American Cancer Society. He walked up to the lady at the booth and he said " How old do you have to be to have a team?" She signed him up on the spot. Logan Bailey's Super Survivors have raised $8300.00 for the American Cancer Society! He's only a little more than $1600.00 away from his goal of raising $10000.00 for the Relay for Life. We've held auctions, bake sales, and concerts. It's been a wonderful distraction for him and he is super excited about reaching that fund-raising goal. We have asked our friends to contribute to his goals in lieu of giving us personal financial assistance. It's more important to me that his endeavors to do more for others, are successful.
We cannot change Logan's circumstance. He will always be a brain cancer survivor, and I will forever be a medullo-mom. But, if we can make this even minutely easier for others having to face it after us then we will do it. Logan donated "Steve the brain tumor" to medical research and he volunteered to participate in a medical research trial for his treatments. We hope that the money raised for the American Cancer Society will make a difference in research and support for anyone suffering with a cancer diagnosis. We hope that the research will make the work of wonderful, selfless, people like Dr. Maher and his team easier and more successful. If I had been diagnosed with this same type of cancer at the age of ten it would have been a terminal diagnosis... the research is working!!
I need help, I need financial help for my family so that we can stop the worrying over finances and concentrate on bringing our entire family through this successfully looking at it in a positive light and remembering that we did it with hearts full of love and with others in mind. Logan is a truly remarkable child and I am so proud of him. I anxiously await your response Thank you for your consideration.

Guilty until proven innocent
Posted by innocent on 2011-09-04 07:58:52
I am a widower with three, nearly adult children who are poised to enter the world. By this I mean they are older from late teens to early twenties. Any of you who know of this age, understand what I mean. They are adult/children - immature, but on the verge of their launch into the world. They are living through a horror with me, and they do not deserve it.
We are currently living a nightmare. Since the middle of the summer, I have been the victim of a stalker/harasser. Because of the nature of the legal battle upon which I am about to embark, I cannot give the details here. In an ironic and horrifying twist of fate, my harasser has turned the tables and filed very serious, and VERY FALSE criminal charges against me. And, unless, I fight them aggressively, with the best legal help I can find for this type of case, I will be found guilty and incarcerated for crimes I did not commit. Lawyers tell me that this type of thing happens more often than any decent, law abiding citizen would think.
That said, the cost of this defense is staggering and far beyond the means of anyone in my family. So, what I am asking for is twofold.
1. Financial support
2. Legal help
I have heard that when asked, inmates always claim innocence. And certainly, in a venue like this, there is nothing I can say to convince a stranger that I am innocent. All I can say is that I AM and that the injustice being perpetrated against me is nothing short of horrifying. The one thing I am guilty of is bringing this monster into my life and impacting my loved ones in a way nobody should experience.
The legal expense has been estimated at upwards of $100k. Yes, $100k. Almost every legal authority with whom I have spoken express great concern for the seriousness of the situation but they also believe it can be overcome with the appropriate defense.
I have lived a good life and have always practiced the golden rule. I love people and people have always been drawn to me.
If there is anyone who can provide material, spiritual or legal help, please write me. I am very scared and face legal deadlines at the end of this month.
Best,
confidential
Needing To Move For Better Opportunities
Posted by DKSchae on 2011-08-31 18:58:28
We have a relative willing to let us move in as long as we pay rent for 1 bedroom and help her with her baby. She even has a job opening for me which I will definitely take. However, given current financial issues we can barely make the move. We need an estimate of $2,000 to pay for preventive car maintenance, gas to travel 880 miles, packing material, and 2 months worth of rent for the bedroom.
I would be more than happy to help you in exchange for helping me. I have experience with general office work including MS Word: documentation, proof reading, editing, research, and data extraction; Excel workbooks: charts, tables, bookkeeping, and data entry.

Work Full Time & Still Can't Pay Bills ---> Don't want to Lose my BF
Posted by sgjones on 2011-06-29 13:58:10
My name is Sara and I really hate to ask for anything, but my boyfriend lost his job and now I am the only one bringing in any income for me, him,and his son. I barely can cover rent, health insurance, car insurance, power, let alone paying credit cards, cell phone bill, gas to get to work, or any of these basic needs. My boyfriend is out every day looking for work, but this makes it really hard because we have only been able to put gas in the car at the beginning of the month when I get paid. I am struggling and really need some help. His parents have no ability to help, and my parents are taking care of my grandma and my brother so they do not have extra to help me out. I have taken out emergency loans just to keep my phone and power on last month, and now I do not know how I will pay these back.
Please Help, I have tried applying for every benefit that I can, but none of these entities count credit card, cell phone, insurance costs, or any of these items as items I need to pay so they say I have enough money. It doesn't help that I am not married, so I do not get the assistance that others do.
I am falling between the cracks and losing hope every day...please help...
Keep My Only Phone Turned On 4 WORK!!
Posted by ttt333 on 2011-06-28 16:58:24
However, to seek, find and obtain work, I need to keep my (only) phone in service. I owe for May and June...July is coming up. If it gets turned off, I am in BAD trouble.
Additionally, I have other final utility bills to pay from the old place. Got to make good on these if I ever hope to get service anywhere ever again.
It's a mess. But it's a problem that can be solved quickly with help! And you can make a difference right away. Can you help in any way? Any amount is welcomed & appreciated. Once I'm back in business, bringing in money again, I shall repay your kindness forward to St. Jude's Medical Centre in Memphis, TN.
Thank you!
