Buck Tags

Just trying to get past living paycheck to paycheck-which has been harder and harder to do, now that savings is totally depleted!

Was hoping someone (hopefully lots of "someone's) would help me out by contributing a buck or two (or 5 or 10)to help me out!

I am sure there are some ind people out there that could help me, Please?

Thanks

Hi. I am 38 years old and live in Canada. One day I watched as numerous people visited my local coffee shop. The thought occurred to me that each individual visiting this store was spending at least $1.50. The price of a medium coffee. Then I thought at least one million people across Canada are going to visit this Nationwide coffee chain. One million people times $1.50. Well that's just basic math that comes to the tune of $1.5 MILLION! This is a low ball number as this chain obviously earns more than that. If One million people put Just A Dollar each in my account, each and every one of them would get to know that they changed One person's life for the better! Its Just A Dollar. Quite possibly there is a dollar in the cushions of your couch, Under the seat of your car? Its Just A Dollar. In your pocket right now. Laying around. Its Just A Dollar. Instead of giving a coffee chain a $1.50, you can give me a buck. Heck you can give me a $1.50 if you want. You can give more than that. As much as you like. I will accept all donations. Of course the money is a driving factor in me trying this. It is also somewhat of a social experiment to see if we as Human Beings have it in us to give and know that in return they will receive a feeling of good knowing they changed someones life for the better by coming together collectively. Its Just A Dollar. Thank you so much for Being Human.

We desperately need your help! We are a small church located in an economically disadvantaged community. We own a house that was deeded over to us by a former pastor and are at risk of losing that property because of our inability to pay some past due taxes on the property.

The house was deeded to the church over 30 years ago by a former pastor of the church who had become ill and subsequently passed away. The house is not located in the same community as the church. (In fact, it is some distance away from the church, and therefore could not be utilized for church-related purposes which would have taken it off of the tax roll). As a result of gentrification in that community, the property values have increased tremendously. The property tax assessment for the property owned by the church escalated to staggering heights during the housing bubble.

Because of this the church has had much difficulty keeping up with all of the taxes on the property (a general tax, a school tax, and a village tax). The rental income from the property is used to assist the church with operating expenses, maintenance of all of the church properties, as well as paying the taxes. Finally, reassessment in the last couple of years has brought down the amount of taxes to be paid and we are better able to handle some of the current taxes due, but some of the older taxes were sold and consolidated in tax lien sales. The consolidation of the prior taxes due has hurt us tremendously. Numerous times the unpaid taxes were consolidated prior to our completion of raising enough funds to pay off some of them in their unconsolidated state. Individually some were $1,000 to $3,000 respectively. They have been consolidated totaling almost $19,000. We are not permitted to pay the liens individually which was viable, we have to pay them in total.

There is a holding company based in the community where the house is located which purchased those liens. That company is now a few months away from being able to begin foreclosure proceedings and take a valuable piece of real estate out from under the church. This would be devastating to the church.

The church has been in the process of trying to sell the house and use the proceeds from the sale to build a much needed new church building in the community it is located as well as to pay off those outstanding liens at closing, and to unload a property that was once a blessing to the church, but has long since become a burden. We don’t want to lose the property. We want to be able to sell it. We had some offers on the house, but at the last minute a promising deal fell through. Previously interested buyers, for some reason now, are less interested. We feel it is possible that there may some collusion within the community where the house is located to wait for the lien process to move forward and that potential purchasers connected with the holding company will be able to take the property and flip it to tremendous financial advantage, while leaving the church with nothing for thirty years of struggling to take care of the property.

It is important that we are allowed to sell the house and build our new church. We are in the final stages of making the new building a reality. All we have to do is secure the construction financing. Receipt of a commitment letter for the sale of the house is all that stands in the way of a 40+ year dream for the congregation. It would give us the down-payment that we need to move forward.

With the construction of a new church, we would be able to operate before and after school programs, have handicap accessible restrooms, and provide better services to the community. We have a senior citizens housing complex across the street from our church, and many of the residents would attend our church but they are unable to climb up and down the stairs to the single-person restrooms in the basement. We also operate a summer day camp which would benefit greatly from having more space in which to operate. We would be able to accommodate many more youngsters, many of whose families are unable to afford the other summer camps operating in the area. We have had to turn down prospective campers because of space constraints.

Our congregational makeup has changed over the years. The financial impact of that changed has been coupled with the severe impact of the economic downturn on our community. We have more retirees now on fixed income, youth, and small children, many of whom have young mothers, and some people who are working age, mostly with working class wages. We need to build a church to better meet the needs of our congregation and community. We operate a food pantry and soup kitchen which would be able to open more days a week with bigger pantry space and a modern commercial kitchen.

As I stated, we are in the final stages of the building project. We have our permits, plans, and contractor selected. We are ready to obtain financing. The congregation, which has always striven to do much with little, has invested much in this projected over the years and the sale of this property owned by the church is the one thing that stands in the way of it happening. Please do not let us lose this property just so a few people can make a quick buck. Help us to pay off these tax liens so that our church will be able to help transform an entire community!

It's hard to have to do this but here goes. I desperately need money to pay just my basic bills. I have been looking for a job for the last couple of months and am not getting any responses even for something part time. My finances are about gone and credit cards maxed out. Please I will be gratful of anything even a buck because they do add up. Please send donations to 2011 Greenup Street, Covington Ky 41014. Thank you in advance for any help you moght be able to give!!

I find myself sitting and thinking of ways to get rid of this debt faster and I keep coming up with the same solution..."Ask total strangers to spare $1!" It seems so simple. If I was able to convince 41,000 people, total strangers, to spare $1 to help me get rid of my debt then problem would be solved. This simple method of "pay it forward" has successfully been done in the past.

We are doing our part to pay off our debt. We are placing $1,192 per month against our debt, we will be doing that until it is gone. All I'm asking is for you, the Internet user, to help out by sparing, at the very least, $1.

Why should you help me out, you ask. Well you would feel better about yourself. Maybe Karma will reward you. When the day comes that our debt is gone, I don't count our Mortgage because that is "Good" debt, I will focus the kindness of total strangers on to another person that is struggling with debt. If you help us, then someday someone might help you when you need it. SO HELP US, and maybe someday, I'll be able to help you.

So if you have an extra buck or two, please send it my way! All I need is $1 from 41,000 people, or $2 from 20,500 people, or $5 from 8,200 people, or $10 from 4,100 people or $20 from 2,050 people.

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

I truly understand why people wind up doing crazy and stupid stuff. The pressures of society and the inpending doom we face in the financial world is hard enough, but to deal with your own problems then have everyone else complain about how the didn't buy the new iPad because they already have 2 is just annoying to say the least. I am not even sure people come to these sites and actually do anything but make fun of the people that are hurting, losing everything and everyone. No can you see why death seems so much more easy to cope with. People grieve for short period and move on with their lives, and the person who is dead, doesn't have to deal anymore. Honestly, I am in need of $3500 as soon as I can find it or foreclosure will become of me and family. At least the last option will give them money from insurance. So, if you actually read this and are one of the VERY FEW PEOPLE that care, a buck to spare is all I need to get started.

Sincerely,

Returning my box of chocolates.

Hello! My name is Mark, I’m really nice and I’m asking for your help! You see, I have this huge credit card debt and I need $20,000 to pay it off. So if you have an extra buck or two, please send it my way... Together we can banish credit card debt from my life

I am desperately asking for any help I can get, I'm over $1000 behind on my house, my daughter hasn't had any school clothes in 2 yrs, her friends help her out, I have a job but my hours have been cut badly, my family can't help either, we don't talk much because they are twisted became they hate my wife, we have been divorced for 3yrs now and they are still mad because I didn't divorce her sooner, my ex and I are better friends now then when we was married, I cannot seem to get caught up with my bills, and now the state has forced my son on asst. so his half brother and sister can get help, I have him on my insurance from work but the want to add medical help on him which hr don't use and they charge me $50 a week and pretend they are being fair, I cannot afford that much and they know it, the judge says she is doing it to me just because she can, wow. I live in rural Indiana in Buck Creek box 137 , 47924. If anyone can send any help I will be very grateful and will include you in my prayers thank you very much. I cannot get a papal account because I cannot get a checking account, thanks to my mother and ex wives, I use a savings account only. That's only part of my problems, I still smile everyday and hide my pain from others in my area, no need in bringing someone else down. Again thank you.

I am staying in a Hotel for thanksgiving, which is tomorrow. I have sold what little valubles I have left to pay for my room, and tomorrow is my last night here. I was staying with my boyfriend for awhile but he left me about a week ago due to a drug addiction that was unknown to his family and I. When he left he took just about everything I owned including my clothing, shoes, coat, anything to make a quick buck. My wallet also was taken, so I have no sort of Identifcation to get any help from shelters or churchs or governemt funded foundations, I have three dollars to my name that will be spent on food for thanksgiving. All I am asking is for someone to help me pay for a room, or food, or even a warm outfit w/ boots and shoes. I am very thankful for what I do still have but sometimes a person needs a little help now and then. I have always put others before myself and tried my best to give them what they want and or need, but in my time of need my friends or people whom I thought were my friends are nowhere to be found. I am not from denver, so the few people that are there for me cannot do much more than they already have. I am not a greedy person and I will not give up hope or lose faith that there are still good in people and in todays society. I would be forever greatful for all the help I could get. Thank you and Have a wonderful thanksgiving.

Hello to everyone, I am a now single mother, due to my husband being taken from us. I have been fighting this fight for almost a year now, and I now am losing the fight. I have lost my job and can't find another one. I have tried selling things of value with no avail. Have asked for help and can't get any. My son and I are about to lose our home, our only means of reliable transportation, power and water. So now I am here asking for help. I want to start a "buddy buck" page. Please donate a $1.00 or more so we don't have to live in a tent or worse.
I am not a bad person, have always been the type of person to help others. Have fed families, given clothes, helped with their bills, even offered my home so families would not be homeless. Now I am on the other end of that pole and can not get help. I just don't understand...
So please if you can help please do.
I am scared and afraid.
Thank you in advance,
Samantha Waggoner

Yes, that's absolutely correct! I have many good friends and I am a very good friend to all of them. They know there's nothing I wouldn't do for them. If you're reading this, I would be honored to be your friend to. I will call it "buck buddies". Honestly folks...I'm trying to avoid foreclosure on my house like so many other unfortunate people on this site and I was trying to think of anything I do well that can generate some extra money. Well, I'm good at being a good friend so I thought....why not? I'll see if I can find between 50,000 and 230,000 new friends who would donate just $1.00 each and I can avoid foreclosure and with any luck, pay the mortgage off because I've been disabled now for 6 years and just can't keep up with inflation being on social security. Well, with all that said, I offer you a lifetime of friendship. Would you like to become a "buck buddy" of mine? I hope this at least made you smile.

I need a buck. Times are hard,man.

Pardon me while I choke down the last of the pride-burger, and the Humble pie dessert. I am about out of options, hope, and faith in humanity.

My lady and I ought to be living decently enough on our income, you'd think - but it's just been one thing after the next after the next. Between cars getting sick, my lady losing one job to an injury, my own low wage... We're not making it, to be frank. At this point, I don't know what else to do - we can't get public assistance, not even food stamps, we gross too much. Nevermind that we don't NET that... We can't even answer the house phone for all the harrasser calls these days. We're often short on the rent. (Thank God that the landlord lets us make good late...) If we could get just a little help, in the grand scheme of things, we'd be able to be OK, to help others as we'd much prefer to do.

Here's how it breaks down:

Absolute best possible, turning backflips in the yard, what do you want I'll give it to you, anything short of our children where do I sign and do you want it in blood target: $7500 free and clear. That kills about all the debts, all the loans, fixes the van, fixes the car, rent is paid. I wish I thought it likely. I know, it isn't.

The We-have-a-fighting-chance level: $3250. Again, it clears the critical debts, gets the cars on the road. We have work to do, but we can manage.

The Take-off-the-pressure level: $1000. Gives us enough room to breathe, though Christmas will be lean.

I am terrible at asking for help. I feel like a failure as a person, as a father, as a provider. I'm sure most of the people here feel just as bad as I do. But I'm also clinging to the hope that somewhere out there is the person or people that will prove the pessimist in me wrong.

Anything you can afford to give, be it thousands of dollars or just a buck, will be greatly appreciated.

Please, do what you can. Not just for us, but for anyone you know like us - good folks, who've caught a bad run of luck.

Hi my husband 2 young girls (1 and 3) and I live on a small farm. We only have this small farm for our income and for 3 years we have been living off of the 1000 dollars a year that this small farm makes and that before bills. anyway this year with gas prices it is just not enough to keep us going. so I am asking for help on here. Even a buck would help. We want to expand our farm and add pigs and maybe dairy cattle but we don't have the money for it. We would love to buy the house next door and get out of the house we are in. It is about 150 years old and the kitchen floor has holes in it and there is no insulation in the walls. I hope some one out there can help us please.

Just a buck to get a beer

Hello! My name is Taya and I am going through the most trying times of my entire life! Property taxes are due and an ex-husband who just can't let it go still inflicts economic abuse to our household. Four children and myself! Legal fees are surpassing last year's annual income, the refrigerator is broken, the dishwasher is all apart trying to fix it, the bills keep piling on. I am a very optimistic person and I give every chance I get when asked at a register, or for food pantries, the animal refuge league. I really need to fix this situation for myself and the kids. I am on the lam for $450K to bring back some kind of financial health. Family Court in Portland Maine, Cumberland County and the Attorneys that soak us for thousands of dollars to battle in court with someone who simply wants to inflict more economic abuse has not worked out at all for so many reasons. I'm throwing this one out there to the universe. One of my most used sayings is, "Ask and you shall receive." I am now asking and I thank anyone who would donate to this situation. In fact, I thank you and appreciate anything that you can do, even if it's a buck, if this cyber beg (weird, yeah) is seen by many people how are looking simply to tithe. I appreciate anything, no matter how small! Peace, Love & Happiness to you! Need some smiles around here.

I hate doing this, but here goes. I am a recovering drug addict. I have not used any drugs since March 2003. I was a Registered Nurse in California and lost my license due to my addiction. I was arrested in March of 2003 for possession. I was required to go to out patient counseling for drug addiction by my county of residence. This counseling I believe saved my life. I looked for any job and after months of searching, I landed a job working with Buck Owens Enterprises delivering Camera Ads Magazine to local businesses around my area. Quite a change from being an Emergency Room R.N. As you can imagine my income dropped dramatically. After losing my license and thus my livelihood, I needed a new career. I decided to go to school. Aided by The California Department of Rehabilitation, I went to California State University, Bakersfield and earned a certificate in Drug and Alcohol Studies. Soon I started working in the California Prison System as a Substance Abuse Counselor. That was in 2008. I continue to work in this capacity.

A few years prior to my arrest I began working for myself as a contract R.N. And, because I was very heavy into my addiction, I was not taking care of my business responsibilities and not paying my taxes as I should. Now the State of California has attached my wages for back taxes of $4900.00 and the IRS is wanting back taxes of about $21,000.00.

I love my new work as a Substance Abuse Counselor and feel I am making a difference in turning prisoners lives around. I want to reapply for my R.N. license and use it in conjunction with my Counseling for co-occurring disorders,(mental illness with drug addiction). I am sure the California State Board of Registered Nursing would not look well on my owing back taxes.

I am almost 56 years old now and see no hope of paying these back taxes anytime soon. For this reason I am asking help. I need approximately $25,000.00 to pay off all back taxes and follow my dream. I am respectfully asking for help in this matter. And thank you for taking the time to read my story.
