My name is Jason. I am a hardworking 28 year old married man with three wonderful children 7, 4, and 1 month old, and the best wife anyone could ever ask for. When I and my wife married we were “given” my parents’ home in NY along with the mortgage as a wedding present. My wife and I have spent the last three years renovating this home, dumping every single cent we had into its improvement. We both come from broken homes and both wanted something more than what we came from, and have managed to build a loving stress free environment for our family, and in a matter of a month my “family” (brother, mother and father) have managed to crush our dream out of selfishness and this, “the world owes me something” mentality they all seem to have.
I work full time and also do side jobs on weekends to make ends meet, my wife has been out of work on disability (she will return full time in the next 3 weeks) due to the birth of our son, which should be the happiest time of our life, and yet I get to go home and see my children upset wondering why there uncle is acting the way he is, I get to see my wife cry over the fact that we have been basically reminded that even though we pay the bill and we fix this home and have made it what it never was for me growing up an actual home, that it is not ours and we should have no say over what happens.
My brother who at one time made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year an selfish heartless drug addict, who even though has never treated me or my family with any respect I have always dropped what I am doing regardless of time or place to go “save him”, and by save usually picking his drug addict ass up and making sure he gets home, or dropping what I’m doing to take him to the hospital cause he is so sick from whatever he has taken this time. Now that brother has decided to move in with us, not ask, not offer to help, but blatantly tell me and my wife, “it’s not your house , I am not asking permission to stay here”, and my parents who told me this home was a “Wedding gift” seem to agree. They feel it’s okay for a drug addict to be living among children, that it’s okay that slowly one by one pieces of my wife’s jewelry are disappearing, or that since he came has literally taken over my infant sons nursery with his disgusting belongings that I found my wife sitting on the floor of the living room trying to feed the baby because he’s asleep on the sofa passed out cold and his belonging are strewn all over the house.
My only options are to buy this home that I and my wife have built a great life in so I can say who stays and goes, or to uproot my children and move as far from these selfish disgusting people as possible.
In order to purchase this home I would need a deposit upwards of 12000 which due to me draining my accounts my sons accounts and my wife’s to “save” my brother from jail, drug dealers, etc., we have nothing left. Which has led me here, led me to the point where I feel more dependent on asking strangers for help than my own family because they can’t even help themselves? I am the little brother (youngest of four) who has always had to be the big brother, I am the one one whose entire family drops there problems in my lap as if to say deal with it. I have been the pillar supporting every single family member I have for the last 28 years, the pillar has finally cracked and can’t hold up the weight of the world anymore. I am begging on my hands and knees for help from completer strangers so I can continue to give my children the life I never had, and offer them some stability instead of having to tear them from the home they have come to love, that my wife has come to love, that I love. I want to give my children the world but my family continues to assure that won’t happen under there watch. Please I beg of you with everything I am I need help. Please don’t make us just another statistic, I found my calling and made a life for my wife and children, I have put aside pride, because they are all that matters to me. Thank You for taking the time to read this and thank you for any support or help you can provide.

Full time college student, with a two year old son, needs transportation to get back and forth from school and daycare. I'm out of options and running out of time. I won't get any finances till September. We already have food assistance and medicaid. I just cannot keep going out walking cold mornings and coming back hot afternoons. I know it is not fair to him, but I am doing the best I can to secure a future. I continually look for work from beyond sun up to sun down. I know times are tough right now on everyone, I don't expect any help. I just can't not try. Thank you all for even reading. Be safe and may god watch over you as well.

Hello,

I've always done well in my life I guess, I have always given to charity, and I've always helped others when they've needed money and so forth, I truly believe there is no better satisfaction then being able to help someone through a tough time when they're in need. In fact there was a time last year when I was walking past a homeless man in the street, it was bitterly cold, I bought him lunch so he wouldn't go hungry for a day, just so he could have that few hours of not going hungry, I felt great in being able to genuinely help someone, especially a stranger.

My situation, I suffer from severe depression and an anxiety disorder, which has seen my mental health decline over the past year, I was forced to leave my job and have suffered a mental breakdown which saw me hospitalized for a few days earlier this year, I took an overdose of anti depressants and was seriously ill, I regret it, but we all have a period in our lives where things can get to tough. I've lived off what's left of my wages which has now ran out.

I have ran out of money, I know it takes a lot for someone to extend a hand of kindness in giving just a small amount, but I will be truly grateful to anyone who can extend a helping hand and donate a small bit of money to help me right now.

I can not afford to eat, and I can not afford to pay for my medical prescriptions which sees me not being able to take my medications, which can have quite a serious implication on my recovery and current state of mind, I've just completed several forms to be able to claim state benefit, however I have to wait for at least 6 weeks before seeing anything.

I can not pay housekeeping, which was essential as my mum doesn't earn a lot of money, so she appreciated the help I could give, and now we may face loosing the house.

I ask for who ever is reading this, to just extend a hand to me, and help me through this tough time, although words will never thank you for your sincere kindness, i will be eternally grateful for the support. please either donate or message me mcrdigitalretouch@gmail.com

many thanks.

I honestly don't know how to say this. I mean, I know my situation is unusual, even bizarre.

Let's start simply. I'm a young real estate agent. I suck at it, so I work part time at two places in the mall. It's hard to keep it all under control, but I manage. I'd rather work six days a week than have a roommate. Really, though, I would get a roommate to ease up a little more money before I'd even consider begging, but fate has conspired against me. I now have two roommates who can't pay - my dwarf parents.

Yes, yes, I know. My father and my mother are little people. I'm a normie, though. My dad lost his job at Intel as a system administrator and so has accumulated a lot of debt. You could say he's up to his eye-balls, but that would be hardly sufficient. He wanted to postpone boarding in my house for as long as possible, but this is, it seems, how it has to be.

So, I'm majorly strapped for cash constantly, because I've become responsible for two other people. They need rides, and they need food, and it's costing me a lot on utilities. I've been dipping into my meager savings for the past two months. I've been doing nothing but work, and I just need a break. I want to sit down and drink a good cup of coffee with a girl, or read a book, you know? I don't want to just slowly keep dying, I want to live.

We all want to live, and so I'm asking you share just a little, just enough for a little extra strength of spirit against a cold, crazy world. Every cent is appreciated. =D

Hello all, I'm a single mom of two beautiful little boys. When their father left us, we had nothing. I didn't even have a job. I found a job but it just isn't enough. We have been struggling for the past 2 years. Between rent and paying for my son to go to school, food and clothing, I am broke. I have not been able to pay my other bills and they finally shut off my gas and electric. I need $6000 to turn it back on. I know that is an insane amount, but I have been able to pay it over the past two years. I'm lucky they let it go this long. Someone out there please help us. Every little bit counts. Please don't let my children sleep in the cold and dark any longer. Please help me, I would be forever grateful. Thank you so much.

My name is Jamie. I'm a 24 year old disabled college student ( I have celebral palsey ) studying to be a LCSW . A few years ago, I lost my Daddy to diabetes and with his death, I lost the only person who ever believed in me.

My mother is abusive both physically and emotionally. Because of this, I chose to be homeless instead of going back to live with her. I was homeless for almost a year and never panhandled . I just went without and lost a great deal of weight -- getting very sick.

I was diagnosed with PTSD while my father was alive because of my past and it only got worst after he died . Still , I pushed on. I got a little apartment and got myself back in school.

This year, I lost my grant because one of my prof failed EVERYONE in that class and it affected my others as well. Because of this, I had to pay for classes myself and have been pretty much broke ever since.

I never begged while homeless , but I'm doing so now.

I should also mention that I let someone stay with me for a while and she took full advantage of me and put me futhur into debt-- but I refused to let her be on the streets in the cold because I remembered what that felt like.


Everything that could go wrong this year has but I refuse to give up.

I need money for food as my food stamps have run out this month. My phone and cable are about ready to get shut off as well and I need both for school.


I'm just as poor college student doing my best to get by. Please help me.

Cable: 53.00 needed by the first
Phone: 60.00 - ASAP

Food: Any amount.

Thanks again.

My husband and I have been married for 30 years and have grown children. Most of our excess money goes toward helping them and the grandchildren. In the meantime our kitchen floor is almost falling through in three spots, our bathroom has mold all around the top of the walls and all our windows are completely molded. There is at least a half inch open space in our doors that allows cold/heat in so our electric bills are outrageous. We really need help in order to clear out the mold so ourselves and our grandchildren will hopefully not be affected.

Anything you could spare woudl truly help. Thank you and god bless.

Hello, the fact that I am writing this is making me realise that this has been the worst day of my life.

For the past two years I have been in love. A whirlwind romance which gave me a release from my miserable abusive upbringing. I moved in with this beautiful, kind, intelligent girl who I had fallen for. My parents did not approve and they saw her loosen their iron grip on me, she gave me the confidence that I never had to stand up to them.

I had to decide between my parents who had habitually beaten me, put me down, turned me into a shell of a person. or the only person that ever has and probably ever will love me. I chose her, and I haven't seen or heard from my parents since, part of my believes it was a perfect excuse for them to rid me of the son who had only ever disappointed them.

I was in dreamland, I was invited into her home and from day one it felt more like home than the cold loveless one I was brought up in. Everything was great for a few months and then she left a highly flirtatious conversation up on facebook with a man in which she was bragging at how many other men she had slept with in the past year. My life turned on its head. I gave her another chance after weeks of pain, tears and excuses. She convinced me everything was going to change. Three months on to that day I hear through a friend that she with another man in a nightclub the other day.

I am lost, I am trapped. I have no money. My parents do not care about me and the one person that I have ever loved has betrayed me multiple times.

I feel humiliated, i feel physically sick, I am mentally and physically exhausted. I have nowhere to go, i need to escape. If I leave her then I am homeless if I stay with her then I am bound to being abused again, this time not physically as with my parents but mentally. My heart cannot take this torment anymore.

My mouse is hovering above booking a flight to Amsterdam tomorrow. I have chosen there because of the large UK community. I want a new environemnt, i need to meet people for the first time in my life. I want to live and work somewhere else but I just do not have the funds to do it. I have been reliant on people all my life and I just need a chance to completely start fresh and I cannot do this round here or in this country. I need to travel, i need to experience things which I have never experienced. I do not deserve any charity but I am desperate, so very desperate. I am literally begging for any help.

Thank you so much for reading

To whom it may concern,

Stated Goal: $2,000.00 (by March 21st, 2012) for tuition, books and some new pants to get my academic career going... Breakdown of $1,288.33 for tuition/fees, approximately $400.00 in textbooks/supplies for the quarter, and the remainder for some pants and necessary travel expenditures for the first month of school.

I know you have many options with where your hard-earned money goes - some may make you feel GREAT about shedding a few pounds in the wallet, and others will leave you feeling downright dirty. I know this, because I was once in your shoes; money in my wallet, left only to my vices as to where to spend it. I never felt right about just handing it over to someone who, in my opinion, would merely go drink it away, drug it away, etc. It's funny how life throws these things all back into your face sometimes, and as such I find myself in need and hoping that the right person(s) will have the faith to invest in me - that's right, I said INVEST.

I don't believe in a handout, but I DO believe that sometimes we fall a bit harder than we are prepared to do and as such are put into situations that we neither expected nor are comfortable with. I opened a business that was going rather well for its first 7 months of operation. Then, through an anonymous post from someone online that "appeared" to be from my company, me and my business partner got black-balled from the industry (VERY political/bureaucratic in that particular industry). When this went under, though, it took me and everything I own with it - my vehicle, my home and much of my personal belongings. Prior to that, I spent 11 years on active duty military status in order to protect and serve this country. Yes, I've earned the G.I. Bill and fully intend to use it for its designed purpose. TheMy defining issue, however, is that the Bill pays for school on a month-to-month basis, at the END of each month of training. For example, my school begins this April 2nd so I cannot claim my benefits until the end of April, which will cause my first G.I. bill payment to get sent out in early May. The school, however, requires payment up-front and as explained above, I currently do not have the capital to get started. Once I've started, the Bill will sustain me, therefore I merely ask for assistance in getting the first quarter of classes paid, including books. I have a great academic history, and this is truly where I excel. My purpose is to some day acquire a PhD in pharmaceutics and do research to find new and improved medications for the benefit of the masses.

As for the pants, I have two pairs remaining and both have holes in the legs and crotch. While these DO technically work for all intents and purposes, it gets a bit breezy on these cold days and nights, and is probably unsightly (at best) to any of my would-be professors who may not appreciate an instructor's-eye-view of these things. As such, I figure I might like to buy a couple of pairs prior to matriculation.

Thank you, in advance, to any and all who assist me on this endeavor.

Hello all,

Like so many people on this site everyone is in a bad situation, I too have fallen by the waist side in this economic crisis.

I'm a healthy, young woman who has a family to provide for I am the sole supporter/contributor. They depend on me for everything from shelter, food, clothing, transportation to/from, etc. I became unemployed several months ago because of budget cuts. I took heed to my elder's warning me to save, save, save for a rainy day...well, those rainy days have since turned into months and the bills are piling high up to the ceiling. We are on the verge of being evicted, electricity being turned off (very necessary because two of my family members are diabetic, must keep the insulin cold), not to mention being able to provide the medication for my sick loved ones and the car(which our main source of transportation) being REPO'd.

I have been on it seems like 100 interviews, but to no avail. I have been doing odd jobs here and there, but they come once in a blue moon. Nothing stable has surfaced.

It is a struggle out here. I just ask that you kind people be willing to donate whatever you may have to my family and I. It would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

God Blessed!

Hi my name is Devin and I am 21 years old. About a month ago I got my first apartment under a one year lease. I have been working a full time job for the past two years of which i was laid off from a week ago. I have no living family members and no way to get a loan. I am currently waiting on a tax refund check and for my unemployment benefits to go through. I need $275.00 to make it through the month. It is severely needed as I have nowhere else I can stay and it is another cold Colorado winter. For anyone that helps me with this rough situation I can donate to them as well (at interest) when my taxes and unemployment comes in. Thank you for your time I really appreciate it. Have a blessed day and remember Jesus loves all of us.

Hi my name is Anne, I live in a small house, nothing special, but I am in deep trouble over my taxes, I have always paid someone to do my income tax as I have never fully underdstood them. But he said I had to pay, so I made the money over to him, pleased that the work was done. But instead of paying my taxes he stole my money,and now I am in trouble because nothing was paid in full for the last two years. All my money is gone and I have been told there is very little I can do, even when they arrest him .because they think the money will be gone. I have two children studying and a tax bill of €6000,00 which is about $ 7800.00 , I do not have this, and I cannot find the money, they have said I can pay in monthly instalments but the amount they want every month is crippling me, it means I am having to leave other bills unpaid, I just cannot meet my other commitments, because the taxman goes first, As my husband left us some years ago and his alimoney is sporadic I work fulltime, but I cannot earn more than I do. We are not perfect, I would love not to pay taxes, but I have my whole life, and as a family enjoy the benefits they bring. Please help me to try and lower this debt, so I can sleep at night, instead of waking up in a cold sweat. I have always believed that if you work hard and do your best God helps them that help themselves, so please people, I do work hard but I can only earn so much per month. God bless you and thank you for taking the time to reading this.
