My dad is 83, he has a mortgage of around $30,000. Because of his age, he is unemployed. We are from New Zealand

He took out a mortgage on the house to cover medical bills. Such as surgery and home-help. Medications, travel etc.

He's been in a wheelchair and I'm struggling to look after him. I'm 22, I even stopped studying to look after him. I don't know what to do, because of this I can't get my education.

His wife (my mother) died in an accident on feburary 22nd this year while she was working in one of the buildings in christchurch destroyed by the earthquake.

I never thought about begging in my life before, But it has come down to this.

I plead to all of you, PLEASE help me. Help me to clear my fathers debt. Our whole family is destroyed because of this.

It's hasn't gotten better, it's only deteriorating.

Your thankful donation will go straight to paying off his mortgage. I wish by the time my father passes away, he will pass knowing he is debt and worry free.

Please help me, anything.. Big or small, Thank you so much

I know i'm posting twice, but i'm desperate!!

Hello! I am 18 years old and just graduated and, although it is a milestone, I know it is only the beginning of my life. To prepare myself for all of the new challenges and tribulations I will have as an adult, I have choose to go a different path then most of my classmates. Instead of going to college right away or taking a year off, I have decided to do a BDTS (Backpackers Discipleship Training School) in New Zealand.


DTS is the training program for Youth With A Mission (YWAM). YWAM is a world-wide, youth based missionary organization whose motto is "to know God and to make him known." Each DTS starts with a 3 month lecture faze meant for me to "know God." During this time i will be stationed in New Zealand studying various topics and learning from multiple speakers. On the weekends me and my team will make trips to Christchurch as well as adventurous outdoor trips. After that, the next faze is the outreach to "make him known." This is the part where i will be backpacking around New Zealand with my team spreading the word of God. After that i graduate from the program and am able to become a part of the organization's staff.

I am so excited to do this training. This Training is just what I need to set a good foundation with Christ in my life before being thrown into the college life to become a nurse.

Of course, there are also large obstacles set in front of me that, if it were not for God, I would see as without a solution.

This specific backpacking DTS is offered only once every few years and costs $11,000. That is including the $3000 plane ticket, backpacking gear, food, tuition, traveling within NZ and health insurance. I have raised, thanks to the help of my family, friends and my church, $8,600. This leaves me with about $2500 left to raise by September 28th of 2011 (just a few months away now).

I KNOW that with the help my friends, family, my two jobs, God and you, it WILL happen. I know this because God wants me to go. Simple as that. And when God wants something, he makes it happen as long as you cooperate and trust in him. And that, I do.

If donating is something you feel you are be able to do I would be so very thankful. And I remind you that anything helps. Being a waitress, I know that even small quantities add up to a large sum.

It all starts two years ago when I had a real estate business. I had known there was something wrong with me for years but 2 years ago I had only just been diagnosed with Endometriosis. The pain associated with it was excruciating and after all those years of pain it went on to develop into chronic pain syndrome.

I was lucky to have a partner to help support me through my illness, but with his own health issues the real estate business failed and I ended up deep in debt. In February this year I had to do a Non Asset Procedure, which is a less harsh form of bankruptcy.

Due to my bad health and Chronic pain I have been unable to work much in the last couple of years, but I decided to make good use of my time and have been studying towards my Bachelor of Communications in Media Studies and Journalism.

In September of last year my city that I lived in, Christchurch New Zealand was hit by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake. Luckily for us it struck in the middle of the night and was centred quite a way outside of the City so there was a lot less damage than people would expect from an earthquake of that size. However just when we were all getting back on our feet, on February 22nd this year the city was hit again. This time the quake was a 6.3 and was centred under the city, which meant unimaginable damage to our entire city and 188 people were dead.

I left the city that day because I couldnt deal with the emotional and mental toll it was taking on me. I had to leave my friends and family behind. Myself and my partner moved to the North Island to a place called Paraparaumu, it is a 9 hour drive and ferry ride from my family and home town. The move cost us a lot of money and we have struggled to survive up here as there are not many jobs.

On top of that myself and my partner are separating, which leaves me financially worse off, with no job and no car, and health needs.

I am such a proud person who doesnt like to take even a couple of dollars from people, but I am desperate and need some help. I need to buy a car so that I can still remain mobile. Healthwise I'm able to go back to working part time so need a car for transport for work.

Please if anyone can help or donate a few dollars here and there I would be eternally greatful. I am a great believer of paying it forward and intend to do just that when I am finally on my feet. I also do a lot of advocating for organisations like Greenpeace and Amnesty International. I may not be able to offer them financial help right now but I'm always willing to spread the word and message they need to spread and to do volunteer work for them. Thats how I pay it forward and I ask that you take the chance to pay it forward to someone like myself that is in need.

Whoever you are just know that whatever you send out you recieve three fold. The universe has a way of blessing you for your generosity.

i am a mum in christchurch i have two boys 5 and 2, we have lost everything in the earthquake. we also did i the first quake and had to replace everything ,we have exsausted all our options, please help if you can, we also lost our car in the CBD

Family homeless after earthquake in Christchurch needs financial help.
My family and I lost everything after recent earthquake in Christchurch.People have the best of intentions they really want to do something practical to help Christchurch but we know from past experience that collecting up second hand goods only causes problems and it doesn't get to the people who are in need of help. There is nowhere to store these items in Christchurch, there is no way of checking where the bedding, clothes and what have you have come from and usually it all ends up being dumped, which is a terrible waste.
The best way to help at the moment is to give money, so please help us with any amount of money no matter how small, 1$ or 2$ is welcome, small and ordinary people with good souls do great things.It’s hard enough to have lost everything we've built up together our whole married lives and also things we've had since we were kids but our 3 children things seem to strike the hardest. The Lord was watching over us that day. We are trying to get back on our feet, but in this uncertain economy its proving more difficult everyday. We have been big givers and enjoy to give. Now we are in a serious time of need and thank you for any donations or love offerings you may want to give. Thank you again and God bless you may send donations to pay pal God bless you and your families as your kindness!
