Help Kimberly Fight Leukemia

Posted by KimberlysFight on 2012-02-08 22:58:35

Alexa is mother of 4 (3-Amanda, 4-Kasey, 7-Kimberly and 9-Ava years old.

Her 7 year old daughter Kimberly
is currently on dialysis, and has been diagnosed with Leukemia. In July of 2007 Alexis lost her oldest sister when passed away from breast cancer. At that time she took in her two children. Sadly, in June 2008 Alexis’ husband was diagnosed with throat cancer. In October 2008 her husband Michael lost his battle with cancer.

In February of 2009, Alexis and her family moved in with her grandfather. He had recently lost his wife (her grandmother) from heart failure. Shortly after that, he became very ill and suffered 2 strokes. Alexis was working full-time, and taking care of him and her children. He had become very forgetful, and he hadn’t been taking care of his medications. In August of 2010 he had another stroke that was so bad that his mouth completely twisted to one side, and he was in a wheelchair. December of 2010, he suffered a massive stroke and died.

All of Alexis life, she has been a wonderful sister and friend. She has always been there for so many of us when we needed her. The family is struggling to survive daily. Kimberly has been so brave through all of this. Kimberly was born with a deformed kidney that had to be
removed, and she is currently awaiting a transplant. This has been a hard time for her fighting leukemia, and losing her father at 4 years old. Everything has been difficult on the family during this time. Alexis’ has tried everything including collecting cans to make extra money for the family. Kimberly’s excessive medical expenses have made it extremely difficult for the family.

Whatever you are able to donate will be very much appreciated by the family. Every donation will help the family tremendously.
Thank you so much for your support, thoughts and prayers.

Financial help for this hard working family

Posted by kworsham74 on 2012-01-25 10:58:23

My husband and I live on a small family farm with our 2 lovely girls. We not only run the farm, but we both work full-time outside the home. We have been through a lot in our 9 yrs of marriage. Here is a short version of what we have gone through since 2003. When we got married my husband found out he had cancer. He lost his job because of it and we had to move in with family for 6 months till we found a home. Later on, I lost my job and we had to move in with other family members till we found another home. We family were able to put a home on the family farm that we run and we have been there for 7 yrs now. An uncle was about to lose his home, so we helped him out. Now we are very financially strapped. It seems when things are going well, BAM! We get slapped down. With all our misfortunes we have cleared out our savings and paying off our credit cards (which are cut up) and medical bills. We have also put a hold on having anymore kids because we just can't afford it. We would love at least 1 more, but right now that is impossible. My husband really deserves the help because he works so hard for all that he has gone through. Last winter he was helping family and friends out so much that he got pneumonia and almost had to be hospitalized. We don't live a life of luxury and never really take vacations. All our money goes to bills and food. I have been collecting cans to help pay for groceries, I use coupons and all our change goes into a jar. I have also sold some of my Breyer horse collection and coin collection to pay some bills. I was going to donate my eggs for some money, but I am over 30 yrs old so I can't. We are not on any kind of assistance so everything we pay for comes out of our pocket. It breaks my heart to hear our girls talk about their friends going to these fun places like The Great Wolf Lodge and the beach for the weekend because I know we can't afford it. My husband gets after me because all the gift cards that I get for the holidays I save and buys presents for the girls on their birthdays. Sometimes it's the only way to get them things. Our debt is almost $10,000 and every month I do try to pay extra on at least one. I can hardly sleep because I am so worried about our finances and I have become depressed because of it. My goal is to get out of this debt, give the girls some great family memories and hopefully have 1 more child. This "beg" is mainly for my husband and child becuase they deserve the best! Donations of any kind would be appreciated. Thank you so much and God Bless.

Hello everyone,
Me and my girlfriend who is 4 months pregnant right now have fallen on hard times recently since relocating for school. I found a job after two months of searching but am extremely far behind on bills. We haven't even been able to afford proper food which is a worry because of our child. I'm a full month behind on rent now and have no friends or family to help. I received a notice yesterday that if I do not come up with the rent in full within 48 hours they will have to kick us out. I don't get paid for another two weeks (I just started last night) and I owe six hundred dollars. Any help at all would help greatly, I've been out collecting cans trying to get my girlfriend something decent to eat. Thank you all for your time and God bless you. And for anyone who would like to help I am willing to set up a way of paying you back. My email is tywade87@hotmail.com please email me if you can help at all and I will give you the details.

A Second chance at life

Posted by newstartmd2011 on 2011-09-10 21:58:49

As I lie here, flat on my back, with the laptop perched on top of me, unable to move. It has been like this for 3 days now, my lower back is in suck agonising pain, the first 2 days was worse, I could not stand up, or walk at all, confined to lying on the floor for 24 hours, and painkillers.

Yesterday I decided to try lying on the sofa, that worked better, the painkillers left me with nausea, diarrhoea, and feeling very sick but at least I had relief from pain for a little while.

The house is in terrible mess, kitchen dishes everywhere, wish I could move around and do my housework, I wish I could sit up and eat, and not have to be bent over on my hands and knees or flat on my back trying to eat.

I wonder what the best thing to do is, do I go to the doctor, or the physiotherapist? How will I get there? How can I pay for it, there is only $2 in my bank account, until my sickness benefit get paid in 3 days time, can I manage to work around to free up some funds for this emergency medical need.

I wrote out a grocery list, 9 items, total cost $49.00; I work out my budget for next week:
Income: Sickness Benefit - $260.00
Outgoings:
Rent $260 can only pay $160
Phone $10.00
Internet $12.00
Power $15.00
Transport $20.00
Therapist $40.00

Total: $257.00

I realised I cannot afford them, will have to ask for food grant if I want to get groceries, I need to find a cheaper place to live, but can’t find anywhere within city Region, have to look further out, to the rural areas for anything under $200 per week.

I also need to find a part time job, but my searches and applications have not been successful so far, no one wants to hire someone with Osteoarthritis, and depression.

All day I search the internet for some idea, some open door somewhere, to start my own business, or find some work for a few hours a week, that would give me a chance to break out of the current situation, to change my life, to make a fresh start.

Lying here unable to do much, my mind starts thinking, thinking and more thinking, I reflect on my life, I take stock of where I am now, how I got here and where I want to be. I am living in a substandard rental home that I cannot afford the rent for, on a sickness benefit, in therapy to deal with 15 years of childhood sexual and physical abuse.

15 years of beatings and torture has left me physically, emotionally and psychologically scarred.

The psychologist is helping me to deal with the emotional and psychological, the painkillers sometimes helps with the pain of the physical, but the scars and injuries are always there.
I don’t want to live in this state, I want to break free, make a new start, but how?

I cannot work as a Computer support analyst or a caterer anymore, because the osteoarthritis diminishes my ability to cope with physical work and movements for long. I have tried finding part time work, just a few hours a week, but there are not many jobs out there, and when I do apply for any, they do not want me.

If only I could get my driver’s licence, a little place I could afford the rent for, and a little car, and retrain, I could get back to work and change my life, get a second chance at a normal life…that is all I ask.

What I need to change my life

Re-training = $4,000.00
Driver Licence = $600.00
Car = $2,000.00
Moving costs $1100.00
Business start = $7,000.00

Total $14700.00

I don’t drink, smoke, or go out, I don’t go to café’s or buy coffees or cans of coke. My only outgoings are the basic necessities of life, one day I would love to be able to do these things, but now my goal is to get to a better place, higher place, out of the gutter that I am in, and start feeling like human again, to feel worthy of life.







Vet Bills, Lost my Job

Posted by lifestudent on 2011-09-01 15:58:26

Hello

Thank you for taking some time to read my story. Today I found out that I had lost my job of eight years. Trying to stay positive in this economy. The last six months have been rough for our cats. In March we had to have Nick our black cat put to sleep because of kidney failure. his bills added up to $500. Then our cat Betty had to be put to sleep for a failing thyroid and her last bill was over $250. In June and July our Orange Tabby Rusty had to have blood work done and we found out he has FIP. That stands for Feline Immune Peritonitis. His bills added up to $500. My wife rescued a Silver Tabby. Her name is Bella and she is about three months old.Although she is a young healthy cat her bills have been shots and boosters adding up to $200. All of our cats have been strays that we adopted. We keep them in the house and buy the best food we can afford. Rusty really needs AD which is a prescription only diet and the cans are $2.50 a piece. compared to .50 cents a can for the other stuff that has meat by products which is euthanized cats and dogs. I can't bring myself to feed that to our cats.We love our cats, but the bills have been a bit much. Not to mention my car needs about $1000 in repairs for tires, brakes and struts. My last bill looming over me is $20,000 in student loans. Give what you can and our family appreciates your generosity very much.

String Of Unfortunate Events For A Single Mother

Posted by BurntAnimalCrakers on 2011-08-26 11:58:21

I am ashamed to that it has come to this. I need help so badly it seems so unreal... I don't know how it go this bad...
I am a 25 years old and I have a 2 year old, who brings such happiness to me. I rent a house for $300.00 a month. seem good deal right. That's what I thought while I was pregnant with my son. I had to move out of a apartment complex because they upped the rent to $850.00 a month for a 1bed/1bath and I still had to pay all the utilities. That was coming out way to high for me, know I had a little on on the way. I canceled my contract 3 months before it was up and I go A huge penalty bill for that, but I had no choice. I packed every thing I owned and move to a really really bad part of the city. It was 2am so I just went in with a blanked and a pillow and crashed on a couch that was left behind by some Tweakers. When I woke up I started to bawl. The front door was not Even a front door, it was a temp door that you find a a construction site. Th wall between to living room and kitchen was gone and the support beams were being held by a 2x4, The ceiling was sagging. the kitchen had water damage and the celling was dripping black water. The counter tops was pieces of plywood with wallpaper nailed to it. The bath hall bathroom was nasty like "stuff" all on the tub side wall and spoons that looked burnt? not sure on that but there were needles there. the three rooms not so bad a little drywall work and done. that master bath (if that was what was supposed to be) was backed up black mold? and something dead int the shower part. I called the lad lord and he said "you signed to contract knowing what was wrong". I reminded him of what he told me you said a LITTLE bit of work, Like little patches here and there... he told me you signed it and it said you were to fix up the house for part of the rent and pay 300 for the last bit. fine any how. the whole time I have been here it has be fixing on the house and trying to nurse a baby and work to pay the bills. 2 years down the line the roof leaks every time it rains, I landlord was so kind to replace toe swamp cooler for an AC. That gave me a $900.00 bill, because the house has so many cracks and leaks, it was cooling the out side world too. The hall bathroom tub has a cracked pipe under it and the wall around the spigot started to degrade. the cracked pipe leaks in to the master bathroom and floods part of the master bedroom. I could not pay my gas bill so I had to turn it off, but I boil our bath water to bathe. Work has slowed down so bad and I used all my unemployment to barely keep my head above the water. Now that it is gone... my rent is backed up to 1200.00 I still have to pay 900.00 for electric. I applied for food stamps but budgets had been cut back for the state that I get 150.00 for the month. so I applied for WIC and it gives us a little bit (two gal of milk, a loaf of bread, and 6.00 worth of veggies along with the cheese and peanut butter) I went and got a food box but there was not much ( a bit of pork, 6 mystery cans, and crunchy hamburger buns) all this was to last us for the month. I had to cut back to one meal a day so my son can have his 3 meals and 2 snacks. but lately I have gone with out eating but only once every two days. It hurts bad to do that. I lost 50lbs from this, I mean I looked at it positively, I kinda needed it. but my clothing dont fit any more, they hang on my body or fall off my waist and Now that winter is coming along... I cant get fall/winter clothing for my son, I am okay, I guess I have coats that work for me, He dose not fit any thing that he had last winter. I feel like I am a horrible mother, that cant even get her child clothing and I cant lose our home even tho it is old, run down, leaky, and falling apart. It is still a place that we can be safe for the elements of the outside world. I Have tried asking my mother to help us but she is having a hard time, too.
I am sorry to bother and ask y'all for some help. I am so very sorry, But I have to do what I can to help my son, so he dose not have to worry about when his next meal is or if he is going to be warm enough. I want him to say innocent as long as possible. No child should have to grow up so fast and leave their childhood behind. He is to young to know how harsh and hard the real world is. I want to see him smile over the smallest things at life, It makes all this worth it... for him. Please anything will help us. I will be so ever thankful and know that there still are people out there that have a heart and would show it to the world. Thank You for your time and Thank You for being so kind enough to read this. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.






Single mom and in dire need of help

Posted by babybump81 on 2011-08-19 22:58:32

I am a single mom of a 13 year old son and I have a baby on the way in November. My unborn baby's father is an alcoholic and is not interested in being there for me or the baby. My son's father tries to get out of paying child support as much as possible and is currently paying the bare minimum once a month. I had been laid off for over a year and had went back to school when I got pregnant and the father moved out I was desperate to get a job despite the fact that my pregnancy is high risk. I have been able to find a employment through a staffing agency a week ago it is minimum wage job but I am thankful for it. It is nearly impossible to take care of my son, get ready for a new baby, and pay bills and on minimum wage. I just started looking for a second job to help get by, It is a struggle to keep gas in my car to get to work and my son starts school next week. If anyone out there has anything to spare for school fees $45 and money for basic living expenses (gas, household items,bills)
I hate having to beg but everything I do to try to bring in a little extra has not worked(yard sales, selling items on Craigslist, recycling cans). I work to take care of my family and am trying to get on back on my feet and a little help right now.

Loss of income

Posted by gina4201956 on 2011-06-04 22:58:26

Recently I lost my job and its been really hard. I haven't eaten for a week just been living off of ketchup and some cans of beans. I have been searching for work but everytime I go to an interview I get no calls or position available. This has used up my last bit of 10 dollars to go on interviews for a job. I keep getting calls for interviews but I can't get there without gas money.

I am also late on rent and nobody has called me back for a job. I filed for unemployment but cannot receive funds until nearly next month. I applied for food stamps they can only grant me $22 for the month for food. I am not sure what to do. Can someone please contact me about a donation of at least $100. That way I can use $50.00 for gas and $50.00 for food. I have been using the internet at the library and someone elses wifi to look for jobs and need of assistance. I also tried going to some church's for assistance but they turned me down because I am not a member or I dont have the gas money to search for assistance.

I had a good job it was taken away from me. It shouldn't be this way in America I tried living the America dream and was laid off. Can anyone help or contact me.

Recently I lost my job and its been really hard. I haven't eaten for a week just been living off of ketchup and some cans of beans. I have been searching for work but everytime I go to an interview I get no calls or position available. This has used up my last bit of 10 dollars to go on interviews for a job. I keep getting calls for interviews but I can't get there without gas money.

I am also late on rent and nobody has called me back for a job. I filed for unemployment but cannot receive funds until nearly next month. I applied for food stamps they can only grant me $22 for the month for food. I am not sure what to do. Can someone please contact me about a donation of at least $100. That way I can use $50.00 for gas and $50.00 for food. I have been using the internet at the library and someone elses wifi to look for jobs and need of assistance. I also tried going to some church's for assistance but they turned me down because I am not a member or I dont have the gas money to search for assistance.

I had a good job it was taken away from me. It shouldn't be this way in America I tried living the America dream and was laid off. Can anyone help or contact me. (773) 340-0583 my name is Kristal

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.

I have posted other day and just asking again if there is anyone who can help with anything, even if its a few dollars that will help.. Our electric is still on and just waiting for them to come shut us off.. My fiance has went down to talk to them and hasn't made it back yet so maybe they are giving us a few more days , I do not know. We went and talked to our Landlord just a few hours ago he wasn't very nice and stated that if we lost the electric then he would be serving us with an eviction and I have worried about that now...I just want to get it paid and try to get the money together so he and I can go to his hometown of Ellenville, NY where he can find work and has work there he can get. We have no car so we will have to take bus or train , I do not care as long as we can get there and find a cheap place so we can survive again on our own, We have walked the streets to gather cans to turn in for food each day and I just want to wake up for once and not have to worry.. If anyone can give a dollar or a few give what they can I would be so so greatful.. I have applied for these loans that claim they can help with low interest then they say they need 200 bucks to be able to do the loan , they are such a scam and just had one send me an email and stated that they could help me when and if I decided to help myself and send them the required 200 dollars.. I just got so mad and cried for someone to say I am not doing everything in my power to help myself and my family.. Im so exhausted in trying and looking and searching and walking and begging I just want to lay down and give up.. sorry its just things are really starting to get to me.. again I do have a paypal account my son set up for me and if anyone can help I would be forever indebted to you and will pay you back when we get on our feet again If anyone has any questions please email me and I will tell you anything you need to know and to anyone who can help at all may God Bless You and have a wonderful day!! Much Love and Hugs to all.. God Bless

Me and my fiance are at wits end on how we are going to make it. We want so desperately to get back to where he was born and raised in Ellenville N.Y. and we are stuck here in Kentucky. We moved from about 100 miles away so I could care for my father and he passed away be 2 years in Sept. We have lost our water AGAIN they cut it off last week and my fiance can't find any work here ,, he does construction and its not happening here. We have no car and he walks everywhere to look for any type of work just to get by and he has been ripped off by this whole town as he never charges what the big wigs do to fix a home.. We go out of our way to help others even when we have nothing and Im so scared we are going to loose our apartment(which is an old funeral home and we are the only ones here)We have been scrapping metal and junk the last week just to feed ourselves and get by. I just want to get to where he use to live so we can get back on our feet and make it on our own. I hate asking anyone for help but I am at the point of giving up on everything as its just not working out. We try so hard to get ahead and we get slapped back 20 feet and cant get back up. right now we are going to loose our Electric come Monday morning if we cant come up with the other 147.67.. I worked with a neighbor other day helping her plant her flower beds and cleaned her home and my fiance went and done an odd job plus walked gathering aluminum cans to turn in and we was able to give them 120.00 of it but they only gave us till Monday for the rest of it. Not to mention not having food but got up this morning and someone left a box of food on our step that will get us by for a few days and am so greatful ..I have been to every place in this town to get help and no one is willing to do anything. I do not know what this world is coming to when no one will extend a hand . and right now if someone came to me and needed something I did have I would give it up as I feel there are others who need it more then I do.. I just keep praying for a Miracle and It never happens no matter how hard we try.I do not understand why there are people in this town that goes out and cons people and charges an outrageous price to do things and they are running around with their heads in a cloud and having everything when we try and try and we just get farther behind. I know It sounds like I'm complaining but I just want to live normal without so may worries and to get out of this town that keeps dragging us farther down in the homeless pit..is there any help to be found.We want to save enough to make the move as he has work waiting for him there and its over a 1000 miles away to get there plus have to have enough to at least get us a cheap effenciency for a week or so till the money starts to happen as I do not care if I have to live in a homeless shelter to get on our feet when we get there.. It's just managing the money to make it there..I will not give up hope and faith as I pray to God everyday to at least bless us to be able to make it through 1 more day. I have family here but well like alot of families they have just turned their backs and won't do anything to help but I was there to help them when they needed a sitter or someone to do things they couldnt or my fiance redone their places for basically nothing in return as that is how we are.. to make a long story short almost 4 yrs ago me and my fiance built a deck on the front of my parents home and it was for my dad to be able to sit outside in his wheel chair to enjoy the weather instead of sitting inside and wasting away and it was a 20 ft by 28 foot under roof with rails and steps and an extra pole rail for my dad to hold onto to walk the deck for exercise and done with all deck wood and its really nice and we got a total of 330 bucks for all that but we didnt complain as it was from our hearts to my dad as I am a daddy's girl and even though he is now a beautiful Angel I am still a daddys girl..we also put siding on their house which was stucco house so it all had to be drilled in with plastic inserts and we done it the way my dad always wanted it to look and I would have done anything for my daddy as he would do anything for me I was his baby girl but again we done it out of the kidness of our hearts and love for hi, .. there is alot more to add from and about other family members that saved them BUNDLES but can't even help with a meal now.. but I will not hold a grudge or judge them as its not my place to and they will be judged in the end and that is when it counts the most..but I keep praying to the Good Lord that one day there will be a way for all we need to happen! Hope is running thin though and to the point of just tossing life in and ending it all..and I know that is the wrong way to think but sometimes your mind and heart gets tired and weary and just wants to give up but I will fight till the end to reach our goals of making it to NY.. I really hate to ask and beg but I do not know anything else I can do except keep doing what I am doing and also ask for some help.. I hope all who is needing help will recieve the help they need and I pray for many many Blessings to come your way.. God Bless...

I'm Almost Out of Time!Anything Will Help!

This is an emergency.I have been asking for assistance for some time now.I thought someone was helping me but I never received what help I was promised and now I don't know what I'm going to do.I need a kind soul to help me.I have been out of work for over 2 years now.Because I moved from one state to another after my ID had expired they would not let me get an ID until I had produced my birth certificate,which took Social Services 2 years to do because they did not know what they were doing.Well,it was a 30,000 dollar fine to hire me without ID so I was living on the street,between a rock and a hard place.I have never been homeless or unemployed before this but I have had to live like this for 2 years now!I sleep under a freeway bridge,I find my food in trash cans,and I use the library computer to search for jobs.Now I do have ID but what I don't have is clothes,shoes,or a phone.(Without a phone no potential employer can call me back so unless I get hired in the interview I don't get hired.)I don't know how I'm going to resolve this.Every day I talk myself out of suicide because no one gives me a chance.I don't need much and I would be happy to repay every cent after I get back to working.I don't have a credit card or payPal or anything like that.What I need is gift cards to places like Wal-Mart or Target,places I can get clothes appropriate to interviews and a cheap prepaid cell phone.Also a small amount of money to cover bus fare to get to interviews and keep my clothes clean.I could do what I need to do on as little as 20 dollars a month.However,there is a ticking clock here.My mailbox that I set up is about to expire and if I don't get SOME help by next week no one will be able to mail me anything and at that point I don't know how I'm ever going to get on my feet again.I keep myself too clean to beg on the streets and I don't want a criminal record for panhandling because that will make it impossible for me to work.I narrowly avoided one in the past.I am alive but I want more than anything else to HAVE a life.
Please.I'm begging.

"Mother of two, broke, no job, no hope"

Posted by lissamorrow on 2011-02-23 05:58:31

Hello World: I am a mother of a 7 year old, and a 10 year old. I have a fianc'e. I live in a four bedroom house that I can not afford but got to have a place for my family and a spare bedroom to help out a fellow Person in need. I have always been the kind-hearted to help others and take people in, give money, and contribute to every charity that I came across. In September, I was laid off from my job. I couldn't afford my bills. I joined a carnival and it ended in October. They will not rehire until May. My kids are in school and I can't travel until summer anyway. I have looked for a job, Donated plasma, took odd jobs, Sold almost every family heirlom I owned. I still am behind on my bills. It seems i have no hope. My boyfriend can't find a job, so He goes out everyday even Sundays looking for aluminum cans and scrap metals to try and help. Local Churches and Charities all say they are out of funds. Online Home jobs are all scams it seems. Currently My landlord is taking me to eviction court. My utilities are about to be shut off. I have even thought of selling some of my foodstamps and i know that is wrong and Illegal. I have tried to hold a sign, Panhandle and beg for help. I have gotten into trouble with the police so I quit doing it. I've had yard sales, rented rooms, and whatever else I could try to pay my bills and provide for my family. All to no use. I feel like such a failure. I have contemplated suicide. I use to think " I need to be here for my kids." Now, I think, What good am I to them anyway? I wonder when the state will come take them away from me. If there is a God, If there is any Good Decent people left in this Cold world, Anyone who cares at all, Please help. I don't want yor money. I don't want a hand-out. All I need is a hand-up. I will gladly accept work of any kind. So will my boyfriend. If someone truly wanted to give, I would ask that they pay my bills or a portion directly to the utility company and the landlord. Nothing ever needs to be in my hand. This way, Everyone knows i tell the solemn truth and I really truly just want to keep my family together. PLEASE?
