My daughter, mother, sister and myself are all that we have left. Lung cancer killed my dad, prostate took my grandfathers, breast took my aunts, colon took my uncles. I have cried everyday, all day. We have very little family and very little money. The funerals costs, the bills, took everything we had. We are flat broke. We are behind in all of our bills, rent,utilities, credit card and we really need help. My daughter is 7 and she cries and understands that we are very poor and we don't know anyone who we can turn to. I am begging with a sincere heart in hopes that any amount can be donated can save our small family and keep us going. I am constantly looking for work, but with my mom fixed income, my sister's disability and a young child I am always needed to get medicine, or to wash and clean my family and care for them. Any donation will sincerely be appreciated with humbleness and gratitude and I hope you will receive twice as much for your sympathy.

Me my sister and she husband live in rented house, where we share expenses. Recently we found out that my brother in law (my sister’s husband) is dieing of lung cancer . at this point treatment is not an option .all that can be done is keep him as comfortable as is possible until the end .which will not be long from what I am seeing, dr told us it a matter of days now. when he finally goes this will leave a problem . we split the expenses and with out his help I and my sister will not have the money to keep a roof over our heads . so I am posting this to get raise funds to help pays the bills and hopefully keep a roof over my and my sisters head. plus pay the costs of the funeral .

Due to sun exposure prior to being 18 years old (so my doctors says) has caused me to have some skin cancer spots on my face and arms. I would like to have them treated, but do not have any additional monies at the end of the month to put toward medical expenses. I am hoping to have these treatments sooner than later so I do not have any tissue loss due to cutting out the cancerous areas. My friend lost a portion of his nose and ears due to skin cancer and I am hoping to avoid the same out come.

I need prayer and help.
All was well just a year ago. I had a good paying job, a beginning side business, and a blessed life. I left my job to move 2000 miles so my wife and I could care for her mother. I used my savings to rent a home for us and paid months in advance to cover us while I looked for work.
I have been unable to find work, my mother-in-law passed, my wife was diagnosed with cancer and we no longer had good health coverage, and my savings ran out. My small side business can only provide enough to cover the basics and since there is nothing left over, it cannot grow. We are 3-4 months behind our bills and all are getting impatient. The medical care my wife needs is about to end if I can’t make a payment in the next few days.
I am a disabled veteran of Desert Storm and am limited with some of the work I can find. It has been a struggle to try to stay positive and hopeful this past year. The same banks offering loans when times were good are denying any assistance now that times are bad. I pray daily for a change.
As I started in this letter, I need prayer and help.
I know God hears me and has a plan for me and even in our circumstances, I never doubt His love for me. I just need more voices to reach out and let Him know I need Him more than ever at this moment.
Thank you.

Good morning, my name is Missy Jensen. I have 3 little girls in elementary school and a gorgeous husband and I thought my life, though simple, was perfect. We've never lived beyond our means and have tried to do the best by our family. We've given to lots of charities (mainly World Vision and Red Cross) and never thought we'd have to ask ANYONE for even a penny.
I don't know if "Medical Bills" is the right category but medical is why we can't pay our other bills and are in trouble with the bank over our home payments.
Since #3 was born I have had a bowel resection following them finding colo-rectal cancer - and I thought that was the end of it. I now have a prolapsed uterus (sorry.. this area of my body is a disaster) which I need to have operated on. I have to pay for that operation but also I'm scheduled for a routine staging colonoscopy at the same time. This is TOO MANY BILLS! I am praying that this will be the end of it and I can return to full-time work in the next 3 or 4 months but I'm scared since my whole body feels quite battered.
There are so many stories of people's difficulties that I'm a little embarrassed to even ask. If you can spare a small amount, our family would really appreciate it.

Scalp cancer patient my medical bills are sky rocket,please make a generous donation or help me find a cure

I am a struggling single mother of two daughters. I can't afford child care so i cannot work long hours. My moms house is falling apart but can't fix it because of her medical problems. She was diagnosed with cancer on valentines day of 2007. On top of that, my triplet brothers have sever autism, my sister has arachnoiditis and my other sister has Multiple Sclerosis. I try to help my mom around her house but i have my family to take care of also & have a hard time keeping up with the bills. I just need a little help to get us through these times.

I recently got divorced and my ex-wife took our car that was paid for to leave me with the car that I found out she hadn't made a payment in over a year on it. I thought we were a few months behind and when I ask for the bank payment slips with the bank phone number on it so I could call and arrange a weekly payment schedule to get caught up she didn't know where it was. She had actually thrown it away so I wouldn't find it. Its a small bank the wasn't even in our town so I couldn't drive up there to talk to them. I asked for the bank name so I could google it but she supposedly didn't know. Well about 2 months ago I was at work and the car got towed! I'm stuck without a car and can't work because I have no ride. She had planned to divorce me and then leave me stuck with a car that wasn't being paid for so it would be towed and leave me without means of transportation so I could work. She always paid the car payments and screwed me over so bad. It sucks. I always use to work 2 jobs and made the most money in our household. She had us move back to her home town in a house that her brother and his girlfriend lived with us so that when we got divorced I would be forced to move out. I'm staying with a friend but I pay rent and it's so hard to pay rent and save for a car when I can't make it to work most of the time cause he or his girlfriend are working and their jobs are far away. I would be so happy if someone could help me get back on my feet by getting enough money for a down payment for a car or even enough to buy a really old cheap car that can at least help me to get to and from work ok! Any amount of donations would be so very appreciated. I have linked my PayPal account to this plea for help! I beat cancer 2 years ago so I know if I could beat cancer I can overcome this obstickle with just a little help from some kind hearted generous people! I pray that someone will help me. I'm not looking for $20,000 for a brand new car I just need to raise $500-$1500 so I can use it for a down payment on a decent used car or just buy a running cheap car. I would need a few extra couple hundred dollars for my first insurance payment also. Once I get that I can go back to work full time and pay my payments on my own and also my rent. I my prayers are answer I will be truly blessed and once that happens I will start helping others in need on this site also. If someone helps me it would be only right once I'm back on my feet to help others who could use a helping hand. We all have ups and downs and struggles but sometimes we truly do need just a little help from someone else to get back up!

I truly pray that someone will help me in this rough time. I want to thank you ahead of time in helping me out. You truly are wonderful people all who help me by donating! God bless you. To everyone else that is strugglIng right now there is hope and there is light at the end of the tunnel!

God Bless!

Any donation amount will be truely appreciated!

Hi I am a mom of 3 children, 1 a special needs child. I work as a nurse assistant but it only covers about half of our needs. I work hard and do my best every day and try to keep a smile and a good attitude but sometimes your best just isn't good enough. My special needs baby is 8 years old and is speech impaired, deaf in one ear, severely asthmatic, and has ADHD. Medicaid pays for most of the meds and specialists but not all. I pay for some of his meds and specialists and then there's the gas to go to and from. All in all I'm spending about $800 per month that medicaid is refusing. I haven't been able to get an answer why as of yet. I've applied for social security for him but have been denied twice and now am awaiting a hearing which I am told could be anywhere between 18 and 21 months just to get a hearing date. I only make about $1500 per month so simple things like even a trip to the laundromat is a challenge. Apart from my son's problems I also have 2 baby girls aged 9 and 6 to take care of. Thanks be to God they are healthy. All of my family has passed away due to various forms of cancer so it's just my children and my husband and self. He is out of a job presently and has been seeking work since being laid off from his last job (about 7 months). I have applied for a pell grant and registered for LPN classes at the local community college to try to help myself but it will take about 15 months to finish school let alone get a job. I've managed to pay rent but am 2 months behind on the internet bill (used for school) am 5 months behind in car payments and am at risk of a repo any day. If I lose my car then how am I going to be able to go to work,school, take the kids to school, take the kids to the doctor,grocery shop, do laundry, or anything else? I currently do not have auto insurance because I can't afford it.(was cancelled for nonpayment 2 days ago.) I managed to pay my water and cell(about $100) to keep that going. I am almost a month behind on my electricity but have managed to keep it going by paying about half the bill per month. As of now, I have a balance of $150. I don't know what to do. If anyone would please help us I would be forever grateful and appreciative.

I recently lost all of my insurance due to being dropped as a dependent, which my dad is in the USMC. Before losing my insurance, I was being seen for pains in my stomach which have been progressively worsening over time. Right before my insurance was dropped, I had a visit to the ER and they found a hardening inside my intestines which looked like Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which leads to colon cancer. I have no money for insurance or treatment... any help would be greatly appreciated

My best friend was recently diagnosed with cancer. She's too proud to ask for help herself, and I'm one of the few people in her life that even knows she's sick. Her own family (who recently disowned her after she broke up with a fiance they liked) doesn't even know what's going on.

My friend started having a panic attack after doing some calculations and realizing that she can't afford her final semester of college this August after paying for Chemotherapy and some unexpected car repairs. Her family refuses to give her the information she needs to fill out her FAFSA, so she can't even get student loans.

I couldn't stand seeing her like that -- She's been struggling with issues for years due to a traumatic childhood, and to see her dreams of graduating fall apart due to money issues was too much to bear.

So I told her I'd pay for her last semester, in full. And looking at my finances, I will be able to pay for most of it if I penny-pinch, don't eat out, avoid driving anywhere I don't need to, and donate some blood to the local blood bank. But it looks like even with doing that, I'll come up about $500 or $600 short.

If you can donate and help out, I'd be forever grateful for you helping her dreams come true. If you can't donate, have any ideas on how someone living in the Clark County, Nevada area could make some money over the weekends, let me know in the comments.

I am in desperate need of help. I am not able to pay my bills. I am going to school fulltime and have three children. I lost my job as an independent care giver. I was taking care of a family member that past away due to cancer. I am trying to better myself for a better life for my children. Please help me, I am going further and further down the hole. I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Once I get on my feet, I will help other people in need.

PLEASE HELP
Hi, I'm a 27 year old woman who needs help with money ASAP!!
I'm only asking for money as I'm sick of not being able to pay my bills, eat and sleep.
not even having milk in my fridge for a coffee or any food to eat, it really gets hard to cope with after awhile, and i just had to give in and asked for help by posting this in hope that there still is a few people out there with kind Hearts and they read this and want to help me!
I Just need a little money to get back on my feet.
my mother past away from cancer a few weeks ago & even though i only had to pay for some of her treatment & then the funeral, it still really hit me! Losing her was hard enough, she was my best friend! mum didn't have any money to leave me in her will so nothing there.
I'm doing my best to cope but i REALLY Need Help! PLEASE?
I'm trying to save the money i need to move closer to the rest of my family & a job that i have been offered, and do some more study but i just can't get the money i need no matter how hard i try, so i have to ask for help!
I have a number of depts that i can't seem to get on top of and with everything else its just to much, I'm over whelmed and I'm depressed, I'm just about ready to give up.
I've worked so hard, so long to get this far, to be offered a chance like this and now i can't take it as i don't have the money i need to move, pay my bills or even eat!
Please i really do hate begging but i REALLY do need help ASAP!
Even if its just a loan until i get back on my feet, it'll help more than i could ever say thank you for!
Please help me turn my life around and get out from under this dept and stress and start living and enjoying life again!
Thanks for taking the time to read this

Hello. I lost my job when my daughter with spina bifida got severly burned at her fathers house and she had to go into the hospital. I had to call in less than 2 hours before my shift, and they said if I didnt show up for my shift I would be a no call no show. Im sorry but my daughter comes first. That was 2 months ago. I have been viligently looking for a job since, and finally found one. It is to start on may 21st. To answer eveyones first question, I have pawned my tv and wii to get gad money to look for jobs, and to get my daughter back and fourth to drs appointments, and to get myself back and fourth to drs appointments and surgery, as they are 95% sure I have breast cancer. I will know for sure this week. I tried to take out a title loan, but they wont let me due to no income. I am at the point where begging is my only option as I have no family or friends that can help. I have asked the labor workforce and community action, salvation army, ect, and they cant help. I am nit asking for it to be just given, just a loan til I get paid. If anyone can help, even 5 dollars, it would help. Thank you so much.

I am in college fulltime and trying to make a better life for myself and my children. I was an independent care giver for my aunt that past away due to cancer. I am not able to pay my bills and am very desperate for help. I can't believe that I have to ask for help, but I promise that once I get back on my feet I will pay it forward. Please help me if you are able too. I am not asking for a lot, just a little would help. If you have a little extra it would change my life. Thanks for taking the time to read my desperate request.

Hello I'm a single mother of one and have had my share of badluck. I'm only on here because I just lost my job due to medical issues. I had ovarian cancer and a dog attack. I had a job but they let me go due me going to the hospital. So I need help with my rent and electric bill. I've been looking for a job and can't seem to catch a break. So anything would help and appreciated.

I have always had a job. I am 53 years old. My wife is recovering from breast cancer. We have already lost our house and now about to be kicked out of our rental. We need tires and brake on our car . We need about $2500 in the next two weeks. I promise you help me. When things are better i will help someone in return. This is all I know to do is beg for some help.Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I AM 29 YEARS OLD MAN .MY FATHER PASSED AWAY IN 31TH JULY 2004 DUE TO CANCER . NOW MY MOTHER IS A DIABETIC AND BP PATIENT .I AM WORKING IN A SHOP AS SALES MAN WITH SALARY RS-5000/-(100 US DOLLARS)/MONTHS ONLY.THIS MONTHLY INCOME IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MY MOTHER'S MEDICINE AND OUR FOOD AND OTHER FAMILY EXPENDITURE .NOW WE ARE LIVING IN A HUT AND FACED A DIFFICULT FINANCIAL DEPRESSION HENCE FINANCIAL LIABILITY FROM PERSONS AND PRIVATE FINANCIAL FIRMS FOR MY FATHER'S MEDICAL TREATMENT AND SISTERS MARRIAGES .I AM STOPPED MY STUDY IN HALF OF COURSE PERIOD (GRADUATE)IN 2004 HENCE MY FAMILY CRISIS.WOULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME ALL SOFT MINDED PERSONS IMMEDIATELY.THIS IS MY LEG HOLD BEGGING .

my grandmother is in stage 4 of pancreatic cancer - we don't know exactly how long she has left, she really could go at anytime, so it'd mean to world for me to be able to visit her one last time. I haven't seen her since 2007, when I moved to the other side of Nebraska. I've been in contact with her, and she'd like to see me as well. She lives in Crawford, Nebraska and is only 67. It's so sad because she had just beat breast cancer last year.
I currently live in Baltimore, MD and I need to catch a Greyhound bus to Cheyenne, Wyoming - from there, I'll either get a ride or catch the Denver Coach up to Alliance, Nebraska, where my father lives. I intend to stay there for at least one week while visiting, longer if possible)I have my own health issues and need to keep my doctor appts, but I'm wiling to shove those aside should I have the chance to stay in Nebraska longer). I am on SSI, so I cannot afford a ticket on my own. If I leave immediately, the ticket to Cheyenne is nearly $350 from Baltimore - a ticket for the Denver Coach from Cheyenne to Alliance will run me around $100 and I'd also like to get some extra for gas for my dad to return me to Cheyenne, or enough to catch the Denver Coach back to Cheyenne, not to mention food while there. Food is cheap out there so I wouldn't need much to avoid mild starvation =P
Well, if you can spare anything, please drop me a donation - I will pay it forward cent per cent on here as my fiances allow.
