Hello
I have never asked for help before. I have worked all my life and am still working a full time job and looking for a second job. I got divorced last year and pretty much walked away from the home we owned together ( it was worth it) I now live in a small apt that is my sanctuary. I have to commute around 50 miles each way to work and buying gas and groceries in the same week is not possible. My story isn't any different than anyone elses. I don't have a sad sob story, I am just a regular person who is asking for a hand up not a hand out.Any spare money I have left after paying bills (not much and most times nothing) is going towards a plane ticket or gas money from Boston to Ft Jackson so I can watch my son graduate from boot camp in August)
I woud be willing to repay when I can and am more than willing to pay it forward. PLEASE no scams. Life is hard enough without them
Thank you for reading this.

We need help with taxes
Posted by nt1962 on 2012-02-17 15:58:59
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 donât 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!

Son's graduation from boot camp before deployment.
Posted by greatful on 2012-02-01 15:58:08
Hello,
I am disabled due to a neurological condition and unable to work since March of 2011. I have drained my bank account paying medical bills.
My son is graduating from Army boot camp in March. I need financial help to get there. He will be deployed immediately after graduation. I need to travel about 800 miles from Northern Ohio to Fort Benning, GA and return trip home. My son's goal is to be an airborne ranger and I am very proud of him for unselfishly serving his country! Thank you for any help you can donate. I am very greatful and very much appreciative.

help me fulfill my dream and ride the waves
Posted by jexrex1098 on 2012-01-30 23:58:05
This is why I'm posting here:
I am 25 and for my entire life, I have been fat. I don't mean this as in, a little on the chubby side; but obese. I can remember being in 5th grade, when our class had to get weighed and measured at the nurses office. The sinking feeling in my gut that came up when I weighed almost 200 lbs at the age of 10 is something that I don't think I will entirely forget.
Because of my horrible diet as a child (McDonalds, soda, you name it), I have spent my entire young life coping with being overweight and all of the horrible things that go with it: wondering if I'll fit in a seatbelt, wondering if I would break a friends bed or chair if I sat on it, or never being able to find a cute outfit to wear like all the other girls. When I was about 14, I was diagnosed with PCOS, which is cysts on my ovaries (contributing to my obesity, or as a result of, but they worked in tandem to make my life miserable). Without health insurance, I was never able to get this issue resolved, and with my poor diet, my weight increased. PCOS symptoms also include abnormal facial and body hair, which was (and to a degree still is) the bane of mine and any woman's existence. A woman should never have to feel so ashamed of her own body, and yet that is exactly how I've felt for as long as I've realized that I was different, and that looks mattered.
My highest weight as of 4 months ago topped out at 324 (thought I had reached 340 a year earlier but had lost some weight over a long period of time). Recently I began taking HCG (a hormone that helps regulate fertility and also helps with weight loss), and am amazed to report that for the first time in my adult life, I am 270 lbs. While this still is a lot, for me it is an incredible number to be at. Never in my life have I felt the fear of dying at 30 begin to be lifted, though I still have a long way to go.
So the point of my request: there are a lot of dreams I have that I feel like I am within reach of grasping. Some of them have already been fulfilled: I have been able to travel with my family, and this past year my parents helped me to finance a jeep. This is a huge one...I live on the west coast and have always wanted to live a surfer/beach lifestyle.
But how could a fat girl ever be a surfer? It's been my dream for the past 10 summers to learn to surf, with beaches only 15 minutes away. But every year, the fear stopped me, my weight stopped me, my inability stopped me.
I want this year to be the last year fear gets in the way.
With my weight going down, I've been trying to exercise. I've been attempting a modified version of P90X, and have been eating healthy and avoiding all the foods that got me where I am today. The problem is that financially, while I do work full time, I barely make enough to cover my bills (gas, car insurance, car payment, cell phone), and am not even able to help my hard working parents pay rent. So money for extras this summer is not really possible, but I CAN'T let another year go by without accomplishing this task.
I want to attend a surf camp this summer in San Diego, called Surf Divas. The problem? Surf lessons are expensive. I think to get me on the right path, I'd need at least 10 hours of lessons. At $82 an hour, thats $820.
The reason I want to fulfill this dream is to prove to myself and others that no matter where you've been, or how far your body is from being in shape, that the human body is remarkably capable of change. I would want to encourage anyone who doesn't think they are the right "type" to surf or do a sport that they can push their bodies to do things they never thought possible. And I sincerely believe that learning to surf will help me pursue my health and fitness goals long term, as well as truly set free the earth-and-sea-loving hippie that I keep snug and close to my soul. I live for summer and the ocean...and being able to ride a way would be life changing for me.
If anyone is able to donate or help support me in taking charge of my health and fitness...there would be no adequate way to thank you. I will send you a picture of me riding my very first wave as a token of gratitude, with a friendship bracelet made by me with a few shells from the beach strung on it. My way to say thank you for helping me to live a healthy life.
I'm a giver who rarely gets, but if you could change that, I would be most grateful.

spiritual camp
Posted by fishguy on 2012-01-16 15:58:05
hello
i founded a non profit corp, for a spiritual camp for the lgbt community. the corporation was set up to raise money for a two fold purpose. one, to find a property to purchase for a spiritual camp for the lgbt community, and also to have a place for lgbt youth who are homeless. either due to running away from home from a sence of loss or because they were thrown out for their sexual orientation.
too many youth feel lost, alone ,un wanted because they are lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, or transgender.
so please help reach out to these children, and young people , so they can hopefully be gotten off the streets. if we only reach one, we have succeeded in a small way. and one may become more who are helped. contact me for info on where to send help or try the paypal acct. hopefully it is set up properly.
thank you

Family Needs Immediate Help, going to lose home in 2 weeks!
Posted by ontheedge on 2011-12-05 06:58:22
We desperately need your help!
I feel so bad for having to ask for the help from the kindness of strangers, yet I am at a point where I donât know what else we can do.
Our lives have been so challenged with enduring so many things, and we always have struggled but survived, yet it gets harder every day...
Iâm hoping to find some compassionate people who can help us, with our financial troubles.
It seems that we have been challenged with so many unfortunate/unforeseeable life changing experiences in the past 6 yrs., ...
Which our family has endured, through all of it by working hard, and with our caring, we always help everyone we can, (being care givers in our home for terminally ill family, taking care of a homeless family with small children, surviving the struggles of major health issues, unemployment, losing close family & friends that are now RIP, we have always helped everyone we can, with whatever we have)....... yet now financially, we have put ourselves in a place where we are now desperately needing someone else to help us, who really understands and cares.
As well, with 2 young teenage daughters who are trying to start their own lives; it is so heart breaking when you want to help them, and just donât have the financial means to help them with what they need so they have a chance for a successful future.
My husband has now recently secured a full time job, and is working as hard as he can, yet it seems like we have just gotten to far behind to catch up; we at risk of losing our own home, my car was repossessed 2 years ago after losing my job, then the motor went in my husbands truck, so we have been left without a vehicle for a year now, our home is in need of repairs, we ran out of money for me to pay tuition for a college course that would get me back to work, as well there are other unpaid bills that have stacked up over the past few years too,........
...... it just seems that we are now going to loose everything that we have worked so hard for all these years.
We just need to find away to get back on our feet, and unfortunately we have no one else to turn to for help,
If any one can offer their help, it would be greatly appreciated.... no gift will be to small..
+ now if we don't come up with $1300.00 within the next 2 weeks, our home is going to be lost to back taxes.
Can someone please help us.....

She explained so rationally to me that she Knew there was no way I could pay for three more years of college, not after whe came down with spinal meningitis the year before, leaving me with a unbelievably healthy, 100 % perfectly healthy daughter after 10 days in a coma, at cottage hosp. and a bill thats bigger than national debt.. and right after losing the house, and other horrible events... so she enlisted and that way her college would be completely paid for.. I am so proud of Her....
Well she is graduating boot camp on Thanksgiving day...in Texas.... and from there she will be going to Turkey... for three years.... As mom it's killing me... i miss her so much but am so proud and excited for her... my only wish, and her wish, is for me and her sister to be there...in Texas... I dont have the heart to tell her I cant afford it...
So If there is any way that any one can help us with this journey...and a thanksgiving to be eternally thankful for... you will never know how much it will mean to all of us... anything will help...Just getting us from paso to texas, on gas, food, and somewhere to sleep is more than I can comprehend at this time...
Im so Very urgently begging for any kind of help...and wish everyone reading this a wonderful, blessing filled thanksgiving from my family to yours.... love, Lisa

Need help so I can help others in Joplin
Posted by kcemt on 2011-06-01 12:58:56
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 :)

I hate it here
Posted by mhines3247 on 2011-05-28 14:58:33
Hi my name is Mark. I am just a regular guy that has trudged through life doing what I am supposed to do. I work shift work for little pay and I hate it, I have been depressed for many years and have become very reclusive. I love my dog, Jesus and not much else,including myself. I want to just load some camping gear in my tiny truck that will be paid for in two months, buy my boxer Willie, a flea collar and camp at free sites across the US. I want to find myself for the first time in 38 years. I want to see the country I served for 5 years in the Marines and 3 years in the Army. I want to read, fish, play guitar, and write down the days events. Pick up a job here and there for gas, rice and beans, vehicle papers, repairs and hygiene items. Someone else can have my job who needs it with a family and I will take their place without a home. I honestly prefer next to nothing to having almost anything.

A SOCCER PLAYER NEEDS HELP OF CLUB TO PLAY
Posted by nimshawnla on 2011-05-21 05:58:07
Attention,
I am Angel Alaba Abiola Animashaun by name, i am a complete athlete, i run several metres , i run marathon but my most active and which am very good at is soccer. I have all the skills , the fitness, the stamina it takes and the mental reasoning of playing soccer.Other athletic activities i do have vastly helped me in the energy, the strenght of playing soccer for hours everyday. I do other athletic games once in a while but i play soccer everyday, i train twice everyday, i train with my club in the morning and in the afternoon but i and other players do not get paid but i play it passionately without holding back for anyday. I enjoy playing soccer and play it with the whole of my strenght inspite the environment is holding me down to go to the next level.I played throughout my schooling levels to the High school level. I have been playing with couple of youth club inspite of young age right from high school.
Soccer is my priority in life, i meditiate on it everyday even in my sleep, all i think and want to do for the rest of my life is playing soccer.I have been playing soccer right from my tender age from which i have played in couple of academies like Pepsi football academy and more like it.Soccer is politicalised in Nigeria and in Africa as a whole. One has to know one or two person(s) who are politically connected before been allowed to enter any open camp and to play in clubs even without tryout and this extends to the national team selection.Football selection in Nigeria is attached to Godfatherism and whoever do not have any Godfather that is politically connected will not be given any attention.I will like to play soccer in any peace loving nation.
I would want you to please do kindly link me up for any tryout participation to come prove myself and i am very sure of myself if am allowed a chance in any tryout with %100 transparency of the coaches unlike Nigeria. I beg you to please kindly help me by linking me up for any trial available and i am very ready to heed to whatever it will cost.Kindly get back to me for any trial chance possibilities.I will be waiting to read back from you as soon as possible .
Regards,
Angel

Need help to change careers
Posted by PamelaLois on 2011-05-03 00:58:57
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm a 48 year old woman who has worked as a dog and cat groomer for 25 years. Unfortunately, this has taken a toll on my body, causing carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis in my arms. Soon I will no longer be able to do the job I love. Grooming has been rewarding personally, but not financially. I need to change careers, and would like to get involved in sleep medicine and polysomnography. The A-STEP Boot Camp program costs about $3000, and I cannot afford this. I would appreciate any help so I can change careers.
Anything will help!

First off,I am not an addict.I do not drink,smoke,or do any drugs.I am ablebodied and willing to work(desperate for it,in fact!)but despite all my efforts I have not been able to work for 2 and a half years.I sleep under a freeway bridge.I find my food in trash cans.I am typing this on a computer I use at the library.Despite knowing how to survive with no money all I want is to work again and have an actual life like i used to.
Let me explain.In 2008 my marriage broke up and with no reason to stay where I was,I moved to Las Vegas in the hopes of finding a job with the casino industry.The week I did so my out of state ID expired and it took me 2 YEARS to get Social Services to help me get my birth certificate!One complication after another delayed it and until I produced that I could not legally work anywhere!No one would hire me.
Finally I got the birth certificate and my ID and made it to my final destination,my old hometown of Anaheim CA,only to find out the job market is even worse here than it was in Vegas.Here I now finally have the documentation but I can't find a job!
I am limited in what I can do because I do not drive(I can but have never had a license or my own vehicle;even when I was working I never needed it!)nor can I commute.No bus money means I can only apply to places I can physically get to!
I do not have good clothes or shoes for interviews nor do I have a phone number that a prospective employer can reach me at so if I don't get hired in the interview I don't get hired.
I don't need a big job.I'm happy with staying at my camp.I just need something small,part time so I can afford to go back to college and finish my degree.I have a scholarship but until I get SOME income I can't even afford to register(I need a local ID to do even that!)
I am deeply ashamed of my situation.I don't want to beg in the streets and I use every cent to try and keep myself and my clothes as presentable as possible for jobhunting but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.I don't look like a beggar so no one will help me.Yet I don't look presentable ENOUGH(or smell presentable enough,believe me,a much harder problem to solve!)for most jobs.
I am desperate,desperate for something to change.I need help.I can't get out of this situation alone.
There are three ways you could help that would do the most good:
1.Gift cards to stores like Wal-Mart or Target,locations that have both clothing and hygiene items.
2.A check.I do have the ability to cash a check provided your bank is in my area.My only ID is out of state but still valid until 2014.It's the one I finally got after 2 years of trying!
3.An actual cash donation of any amount whatsoever.I only list this because the only way to widen my search radius for jobs is to be able to commute.Actual money is the only way i know of to pay bus fare or do laundry since I don't have a credit card.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated and can be sent to me at the following address:
Michael Rassveld
General Delivery
Anaheim CA 92803
I go out every day in search of work but without someone helping me I don't know how long I can keep going.I can't get unemployment(I haven't worked in so long).And i don't want to move because I have shelter from rain and a constant food supply where I am at.But really anything that anyone can do...!
I am pleading.I don't want to keep living like this.

Help needed for kids of disabled mom
Posted by sendthegirls on 2011-04-07 23:58:18
So I just putting my karma out there and swallowing my pride. That I would use a site like this would never have occured to me a year ago, yet here I am. I was diagnosed with psuedotumor cerebri and fibormyalgia and sometimes the sentence seems worse than death, except for my kids and husband. He works as hard as he can at a non profit group that I used to work for before my doctor disabled me. I am still waiting for Social Security to decide if I "deserve" th money I paid into that system for 24 years. Anyway, my kids give up so much for me. My daughter checks in the mornng to make sure I have taken my medicine and its just sad. Here is what I need, I will just tell it like it is. My daughter is a 4.0 student who excels at everything. Last year she was invited to attend a National Young Scholar Program in Washington DC and the leadership and things she learned were amazing. This is the ONE thing I don't want her to have to give up for me. This is not a summer camp but a class room setting. I can supply the website for the school. The tuition is 2000 for the school. I also would need maybe 2000 for travel and lodging. I can't be six hours away from her if she should need me or something were to happen to her. That is what I need and I am putting it out to the universe to help me. I feel like before I got sick I would help anyone who needed it and it was in my power. I have to believe that will come back to me. I can be reached at sendthegirls@yahoo.com if you think you can help. Even if many people helped a little, it should add up to achieve my goal. Thank you for any help you can provide and if I ever get my Social Security I will try to pass it forward. Thanks again.
