Bs Tags

I am faced with an impossible request I think. 3 years ago I was a strong, confident woman, 13 credit hours away from a BS in Biology with plan of going to graduate school. I was in an extremely abusive relationship with a man that I had to assist authorities in putting in prison. The same man left his daughter in my custody under the pretenses that her mother had abandoned her. I cared for her for two years as the only mother she knew before I found out that he had in fact kept her from her real mother and I had to return her to her biological mother. That same man sent people after me to attack me later and forced me to fear for my life. I still do.

I now understand that I was dealing with a psychopath.

After that man was incarcerated I tried to rebuild and began a relationship with another man who later went to prison for a charge that he accepted for someone else basically. While he was incarcerated my best friend of over 20 year died of unknown and still unexplainable causes. Once the man that I was with came home I then suffered two miscarriages.

I am told by my physicians that the constant state of being in a heightened and frightened state caused post traumatic stress disorder which led to an anxiety disorder coupled with daily panic attacks and agoraphobia.

Due to my condition I lost my job and no longer have health insurance. I am unable to drive or leave my house 90% of the time. I have been hospitalized on several occasions in an attempt to control the anxiety and depression that seem to only be getting worse. I feel over medicated but still as if nothing is working.

My physicians have suggested a residential psychatric program that would last approximately 30-45 days to assist me in in getting a handle on these conditions and assist me in regaining control of my life. However these programs are all self pay even if I did have insurance and range from 40-60,000 for the complete care in a facilty that can handle both the medical and therapeutic side of psychiatric care.

There is simply no way that I can accomplish this, but I feel as if I am slipping away and I am scared that I will never come back.

I just want my life back. To be free from these nightmares, this panic, these fears and to not live my life on medications that due nothing but make me a zombie. I had a life and a plan, I was going somewhere, and now I can't even leave my house for weeks sometimes months at a time.

My parents have basically been placed in financial ruin to assist me during this time, and they can no longer assist me. I am scared beyond words, If I don't find a way to get help, to get better, I fear for what will happen to me, how I will live, pay bills, work, be a functinal member of society.

I feel that committing to a residential program as suggested is my only option left, my only option for survival. I am desperate and scared. But I don't know how to accomplish what seems to be the only hope.

Please Help, someone please throw me a rope, I am desperate, lost in a dark pit somewhere, I can't see out, there seems to be no way out......I need a rope.....Please help.

I am desperate to get a culinary certificate. I graduated with my BS in Criminal Justice and racked up 50k in schools loans and because I am a current graduate, I no longer qualify for grants. I have just realized what my true passion in life in and it is cooking! I have a true gift and I know it is going unnoticed because I have yet to show my talents to anyone besides my family. I truly believe is using fresh, local grown ingredients with humane animal practices. I am missing out on fulfilling my dream of cooking because no restaurant out there is willing to hire someone with no kitchen experience!

Please help fund my dream!

I graduated in December 2010 with a BS in Public Health. I gave birth to my son in 2011. I moved in with my now ex boyfriend, but he told me he wants nothing to do with me and moved out leaving me to raise our child and with no way to pay for rent or bills. After spending time at home with him I have been looking for jobs and have been unsuccessful. I am willing to do anything. I live in the Washington DC area. If you have any openings or referrals it would be greatly appreciated.

I am a single 50 year old woman. I have raised two natural born boys and three adopted boys. I have raised these children as a single woman and at times worked two jobs. I have received a scholarship for school but due to illness, I currently need seven classes to complete my education. I am currently on disability but would like to earn my own way of income. I am asking for help to complete my goal of graduating from college. In my family I would be the first to graduate from college. In fact, my son has graduated from college (while serving our country, this was the only way we could afford his education) before I have finished school. The degree I am trying to obtain is a BS in Biology, BS in Forensic Science and a minor in Chemistry. I am willing to work a salary earning job (which I am also trying to obtain while I continue my education. In order to do this, I plan to enroll in the Organic Chemistry course of three quarters and the Physic course of three quarters and one DNA processing course of one quarter. The cost to complete this goal totals $15,000.00 (should the amount either increase or decrease, I shall update this information). I intend to obtain a salary earning job in order to support myself during this time. As you can see, we are a family that is willing to work hard to succeed and give back once again. I am not asking you for a hand out but a hand up. I am a woman who has had to sacrifice in my past in order to give my children the best I could. I am a diabetic with Fibromyalgia. I have gastro paresis and have been in and out of the hospital at least every three weeks. I have nerve damage to the nerve in my stomach. I have had to leave school for the last year and a half. I started the year of 2011 taking twenty different medications and ended 2011 only taking seven medications now. I have worked hard this last year and intend to be more aggressive in 2012. I believe that each day gives a person a chance to take one step forward and one step is still a forward motion. I realize there are days that one step seems impossible, but I think it is up to me to take that step. I appreciate the advice along the way, but it is my path to walk. I have come to the conclusion that sometimes we need to reach out to others. I am a giver and I feel uncomfortable about asking for help then it occurred to me that maybe some of those people I gave to have been waiting for an opportunity to give back. I believe that we may not be able to give back to that person because of death. You can still give back to the universe and I know I am part of that universe. Please take a minute to give. In order to assist me to achieve my goals, you can donate to a secure pay pal account under the name of: womanneedsurhelp. Contact me at: womanneedsurhelp@hotmail.com. I am interested in communicating with you if you have any questions. I believe it all starts with a conversation whether in person, electronically, or anonymously. I fully understand you are interested but would like more information, which I am happy to give.

I worked in a youth Mental Hospital. Many of our kids were getting hurt due to the way they intermix the type of problems and disorders these kids have. MRDD kids on the same unit with high IQ Behavior disorder kids with violent criminal charges from rape to murder. These MRDD kids are very low IQ and are unable to understand the manipulation that the BD jail kids are capable of.
This led to MRDD kids getting sexually abused, manipulated, and viciously attacked many times leading to hospitalization and even surgery to repair the damage. I started out sending emails to the director of the hospital and then on to the CEO. I was wrote off and dismissed despite the number of kids that were getting hurt. I was told that we had to take all kids of patients depending on who the market was paying for and we would just have to find a way to make it safe, then to make things worse they started to lower our staffing. When they saw that I was not going to let it go they fired me saying that I had broken some BS policy. They have been fighting my unemployment and now I am fighting to keep my home. I am also still fighting them in the local press and court but since I am seen as a whistle blower I seem to be unemployable at this time. I have no regret for this fight but I do not want my own kids to suffer for my decisions. We have no money for Christmas and my son smiled and hugged me when I told him I had no money for his birthday last month. I don’t like to ask for help but it’s all I have left. Thank you.

free, beat me almost to death twice, stold all I have, divorced my family by drugging my husband addicted to narcotics who has filed false charges, made one of my children lie even though I have proof of no crime committed. I was not arrested. They filed false charges against me utilizing government agencies. They are also in with Al Queda. They have ruined the economy. They want to destroy all trees and forests. They are criminally insane. I receive death threats daily. They torture me. They are covering up their crimes by saying people are crazy and it is not real bs. Protect your families. They want World War 3. They try to give child molesters children, turn people into prostitutes and destroy the environment. Save the world now. Please help me too. They promised my ex husband $100,000 to help steal. Please stop these Nazi scum bags.

Updates: September 11, 2011 - I have been able to get a part-time job which is good news, but the rest is just about the same. Thank you for your help Malum Designs

Since my previous posts have yielded only four donations over the last five months I thought I would try this approach. My financial problems are quite real. If you find my fable entertaining please send a small donation.

The Grasshopper and the Ant
A Classic retold by Joseph the Beggar King
Part One

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there were two friends, the Grasshopper and the Ant. Why these two became friends is a bit of a mystery. The Grasshopper was a dreamer and a drifter. The Ant was a believer and an achiever.

In school the Grasshopper would look out the window without thought and only learned the subjects he found interesting. Sometimes he would fall asleep in Math class, other times when a angry teacher would jump him with a pop question he would give the correct answer in way that would confound them.

The Ant was a teachers dream, he soaked up every subject the system taught him, gave the correct answers in the correct way and got straight A s. He would delight his Math teacher by doing compound interest in his head. The Ant believed that what they taught him would help him succeed and was very completive. After graduating High School the Ant got an Academic Scholarship and the Grasshopper got a Pell Grant.

Within four years the Ant got two BS degrees in Business Management and Engineering. The Grasshopper dropped out after the first year. He went to live with the Rainbow Tribe for a few years. On the way to the bus station he found an old fiddle in a trash pile along the road and when he got station he was able to panhandle his bus fare. That was the Grasshoppers first beg.

The Ant took the College like a fish to water. During open Rush some Greeks invite him to be a brother in their Fraternity. He earned his dues by being the Frat Houses Accountant and made beer money by writing term papers. One day while visiting the Tri Deltas he watches the girls play volleyball and is amazed that even though they are playing a vigorous game not one of them breaks a sweat. It is there he meets the girl of his dreams, Polly Fishbane.

While the Grasshopper was living with the Rainbow Tribe he never meets the girl of his dreams, but it does not really matter too much because they believe in Free Love. So free, in fact, that after what you might call the Honeymoon he found himself getting a little bored with it. From the Rainbow Tribe he learns to live off the fat of country and from his new friend, Buffalo with Runs, he learns to live off the land. Buffalo with Runs was an very old Indian that was adopted by the tribe. He taught the Grasshopper what wild plants were safe to eat or use for medicines. He showed him how to set traps and hunt small game. Then, during one winter Gathering four people froze to dead because they were too stoned to come in out of the cold. The Grasshopper became very sad and hopped away.

The Ant is recruited by a Aerospace firm even before he graduated college and goes to work on the Apollo Program. He and his new wife Polly loved the Florida sunshine and settle down to start the American Dream. They decide to have two and half children. Even though the third kid looked a bit odd the Ant loved him as only a father can. With easy money down and mortgage tax deductions compliments of Uncle Sam, they get a house with a two car garage. Next they get two cars and the Rat Race is on. The Ant loves it! Working on the Apollo Program is more than a job, it is being part of history. Polly loves it! Raising their kids and Keeping up of with the Jones. She starts selling Avon products on the side. The Ant buys the best bass boat in the neighborhood, but only uses it once a year because he too busy working. He sets up his retirement funds and a small stock portfolio. Life is Good!

After leaving the Rainbow Tribe the Grasshopper panhandles his way across the country. He sets up in parks and subways where he pretends to play his fiddle while selling jewelry made of deer anthers and beads. The noise he makes with his fiddle sounds like a cat being killed and people give him money just to make him stop. Before the Cops run him off, the Grasshopper usually made enough in one day of begging to cover his needs for the week. When he is hungry he goes to a Soup Kitchen and when he needs clothing there are the Sharing Centers. Every now and then he lets some good hearted woman try to save him. Life is Good and he hops away.

The Apollo Program ends and the new Shuttle program does not start for a couple of years. The Aerospace company were the Ant works at does not win any of the new bids. They offer him a job in California at 20% less of his salary. Polly and the kids are in a rage. Nobody wants to move and leave their friends. The Ant sells his house at a loss because the real estate market in flooded by the laid offs. The one car and the boat are reprocessed. He sells off his stock portfolio for the down payment on the new house in California and even though money is tight the Ant decides to take the family on a short vacation to Key West to uplift their spirits. He finds the Grasshopper selling deer antler jewelry at the Front Street Market. While Polly and the kids go shopping, he and Grasshopper catch up and have a couple of beers. The Ant tells his friend about the laid offs and the move. The Grasshopper asks him - Are you Happy - ? The Ant says - Yes -. His friend says, - Good - . They watch the sunset and see a green flash on the horizon.
To be continue.

Three years ago, I managed to get back in school to work towards a BS in software engineering after being on dialysis for 15 years. I'm also finally on the transplant list and should have that occurring within the next two to three years. Waiting to get on the list was necessary because I needed the immunosuppressant drug regiment to advance by two generations before I could be sure that the side effects would not outweigh the benefits. Prednisone alone left me weighing 120 lbs (I should weight at least 170 lbs) during my first go-around with loss of kidney function.

I've had some medical speed-bumps while enrolled that arose from the complications of having both kidneys removed (they found a tumor) that cost me dearly in terms of being able to finish my classes successfully. The result has been the loss of $10491.30 of my financial aid (6 classes worth of tuition at $1748.55 a class). I've already paid $3497.10 out of pocket without going into debt beyond my school loan, but need $6994.20 to finish.

I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, watch TV, or anything else that doesn't contribute to who I am as a person in a positive manner. I mostly read books for entertainment.

Posting here is humiliating and hurts like hell, but I don't see any alternatives. I need to get moving forward so I can nail this degree down before transplant. All I want is to be a productive citizen with as close to a normal life as possible--getting my degree is a big piece of that.

Thank you for at least taking the time to read this.

Hello, I am a married woman in my 20's with a small son and one on the way in December. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I have a BS in business management and economics. I have had a sound business idea for a year but I do not have the extra funds to bring it to reality. It is a niche vending business with relatively low start-up capital, about $5000. I have 4 guaranteed locations lined up and several others I am in talks with. The $5000 pays for the product machine needed for the locations, filing with the state, tax, shipping, and copies of necessary sales materials and contracts. My vending business requires no inventory, employees, office location, or overhead. It is a simple concept (don't want to give too many details online) with the added bonus of being a niche business. My concept is virtually non-existant in my area and the feedback I've gotten so far has been extremely positive. I am willing to give more details if necessary.
This business would help my family in ways you can't understand. Due to an unscrupulous family member, my credit is bad and I cannot apply for a traditional business loan. I would be able to pay off long-standing debts and help relieve my dear husband of financially supporting our family, while also being able to stay at home with our expanding family. I also need this for me. I need to feel like I am contributing positively to my family and to our neighborhood and beyond. I want to put my business knowledge to work and not waste my degrees. I've spent this past year doing my due dilligence and research around my area and based on my findings my business will be extremely successful. I appreciate any and everything you could spare, each dollar brings me that much closer to my dream.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

P.S. what goes around, comes around. I won't forget this and I cannot wait until I can come back to this site as a donor and be able to give back.

I am a 31 year old mother of one with a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from Penn State. As much as I loved my college education, I have not found a job in my field (I now work for an Oil and Gas Exploration and Production company that doesnt pay me nearly enough) and I have over $61,000 in student loans. I will be paying these off at least until my son goes to college (He is 9 months old). Any help would be amazing, I plan to pay it forward any way I can. I currently volunteer with a wildlife rehab organization and donate money (very small amounts) on a yearly basis to 3 different animal related charities.

I'm past disillusioned. Friends and family always say "It will get better." I'm so sick of hearing that. After sending out easily THOUSANDS of resumes and only having a handful of interviews (that I'm fairly certain I rocked), I have nothing to show for my life. Unable to pay rent or bills, parents no longer able to help. All I do with my life is work odd jobs and apply for work. It's so disheartening. Networking and nepotism seems to be the only way to get a job these days, even if you excelled at a great school like I did.

I hate that it's come to begging for money. I just. Want. To. Work. I'm in LA and am looking to find work somewhere on the business side of the entertainment industry. My BS is in Econ w/ a focus in Entertainment. My background is in PR, Social Media, and as an Admin/Exec Assistant. (Resume available if you need it.) If any of you know anyone that needs an employee, I'll forever be in your debt. Seriously. I'll send you a birthday card for the rest of your life.

Thanks for reading this. I hate to have to come here and ask but I just have nowhere else to turn. It took some pride swallowing, but at this point, I don't have much pride left so it wasn't difficult.
Anything you can give is appreciated

Iraqi Vet with PTSD and Nerve system damage from chemical exposures. No income, No insurance, Disability taking painfully long time. I need $200 for my Medicines for the month of March. I'm not asking for a luxury, vacation, toys, or any of that BS. I'm looking to SURVIVE, nothing more. Thanks from a Wounded Warrior.

I can not believe I'm going down this route... but at least if this doesn't pan out, I can at least said that I've done EVERYTHING in my power.

First of all, I'm a 30 y/o single mother of 4, I work a full time job as well as a part time job on the weekends to support myself and my kids. My husband of 14 years (high school sweethearts) left 6 months ago when I had a family member of his arrested for cleaning out our bank account and leaving it with a huge negative balance. That caused tension because she was the princess.. she was pregnant and on drugs at the time and CPS took her baby and put her in jail.. The bank never recovered the funds because he GAVE her the card and pin to pay for postage at the post office. Little did we know, she had a field day with the card. So, I'm the bad guy apparently.
Since then I've lost our home, I haven't gotten a penny of support from him and he actually quit his job when I took him to court (mommy takes care of him) he refuses to help us or even speak to us or else his family will cut him off.
This is absolute BS.. The child support laws in PA are ridiculous and need to be changed. They aren't even going after him!

So, after the house was foreclosed on, I got a rental for the kids and myself... the bills that didn't get paid from the old house because the account was drained and the checks bounced caught up with me.. I had to either pay the huge electric bill that never got paid before or get my current electric shut off.. So, that put me behind on rent. The landlord took me to court to have me evicted, the judge gave me 10 days to come up with a payment plan, which we did... I paid off what I owed for Sept, Oct and Nov.. the amount on the court papers and thought I was in the clear. I paid for half of December and agreed to catch up in Jan. and then start paying like normal in Feb and then on. Well, I got an eviction noticed taped to my door and it's signed by the judge.. If I don't pay what I owe for Dec. plus late fees and court costs by dec 31st, I have to be out of here by Jan. 4th. That's 8 days from now and I have NO family and nobody to help me. I get a paycheck again on Friday (the 31st) but it will only cover what I owe... If I don't have Jan's rent paid by Jan 2nd, they will evict me again and shut off my water and sewer.. There's no way I'm going to be able to com up with the $965 for Jan's rent by the 2nd.. and I can't find a new place to move to nor will I have the funds to do so.. My children (14, 12, 4 and 18 months) are going to have to live in my car until I can save up enough money to find a new place to rent.

I am BEGGING someone, anyone to please help us. I can prove proof of everything... the police report from the theft, eviction/court documents, whatever you would like to see. I'm not even asking for cash.. a check to the company I rent (American Residential Communities aka ARC) would be more than suffice. I will also make an agreement to pay it back in full by March 15th (should have income tax return by then) and get that notarized so it's all legal and what not. I'm not asking for a handout.. I'm more asking for a loan.. Whatever you can do for me, please.
I do not have paypal because I no longer have a bank account.. plus I'm not asking for cash.. it can be paid directly to the company.
My email address is bbjayde at yahoo dot com if you have any questions or would like verification. I am a good person, no vices, bad habits (besides biting my nails) or anything like that. I'm being 100% honest and sincerely begging for help.. not just another sob story to get money out of someone.
Thank you!

I'm 20 years old and a junior in college currently. I'm getting a biology major, botany certificate, and chemistry minor and also hope to go on to graduate school. I really want to finish and get an undergraduate degree but I have a hard time paying rent and groceries. I do childcare a couple evenings here and there, but I find I don't have time to work outside of school this year (taking upper division courses like organic chemistry take up ALL my time). I'm very hard-working and get good grades (mostly As and some Bs). Any assistance, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated. Any monetary assistance would be spent on either tuition, textbooks, rent, or groceries; it would also be rewarded with some thank you gift, dependent on your taste.
