I am the widow of a Vietnam Veteran. 3 years ago, when my husband died, it was a struggle to get the mortgage and other bills paid. I worked as many as 70 hours a week and was able to keep up with the financial commitments. 2 years ago I lost my job because of the downward spiral of the economy. Since that time I have seen all my savings vanish, along with what valuables I had collected over the years.

I am in need of assistance to pay my mortgage as I am in dire need and am in danger of foreclosure. If I loose my house I will be living on the street as I will not be able to rent an apartment or other dwelling with out a job.

I would prefer to have a job and pay my own way but I fear that my age has prevented any job offers from the hundreds of applications i have submitted.

Any help would be a blessing.

I am 26 yr old single male. Lost my job and have yet to find solid employment, its been over a year! Growing up I was the kid who had a job before anyone else, always working, always saving. Lately, like many other people it has been tough.

I need a job! Any job, doing anything! I have carpentry skills, computer skills, and sales experience. I dont have March rent and am subletting my apartment to get out of the lease. Where I go I am not sure. It has been so tough lately that eating 1 meal a day is a luxury. Today I ate left over french fries, about 1 servings worth. That was my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have no insurance, never collected a unemployment check, or govt check in my life. No car, no money. Losing hope.

I have $8 to my name. No checks coming in and I am really worried. Im not a drunk/ drug addict, just fallen on hard times. I never imagined myself being in this position. Never thought it would happen to me. I guess Im just reaching out for any potential job offers, Or help.

Sorry. Thank you.

P.S. I am in Chicago, and will travel anywhere for work. Or even telecommute. Anything...

I am alone and don't know where to turn. My husband cheated and devastated my world by getting another woman pregnant. I have no family and found myself alone with no money, no home and no job. I fought my way out of that and found a job and tried to rebuild my life. Two weeks ago, I was laid off and now have no income. I have never collected unemployment in my life but swallowed my pride and applied. I won't be receiving any assistance for another three weeks! I have no money and I am about to be homeless again. I am not the kind of person to ask for help , but I don't know what to do. I feel like everyone in my life that I have ever trusted has betrayed me. Are there any good people left in this world that do not lie and betray others?

PLEASE HELP ME, I KNOW I AM BEING POISONED. I have a very strong reason to believe I am being poisoned by the tenants or staff I the government owned apartment building I'm living in, based on the behavior of the building staff and tenants as well as the severe fatigue and decline I feel during and after every shower I take, cup of the tap I drink, or food I eat from preparation in my kitchen using the water. I need $750 to have the samples I have already collected on video, confirmed by a lab giving me an substance identification, I then can begin taking the appropriate legal action being that I can already prove beyond a reasonable doubt with videos I already have posted on youtube. Any amount you can spare, even if it's just a penny will eventually make a world of difference. The only thing that has delayed me getting justice on this matter for this long is my lack of funding. My paypal.com account email is: ernestbolds@netscape.net if you do not see the paypal donate button below. PLEASE Help me teach these cowards a lesson that will inspire others to seek justice for themselves.

HERE IS ONE OF THE THIRTY VIDEOS I MADE OF ME RECORDING THE BELIEVE TOXIC FLOWING FROM BY FAUCET AND COLLECTING IT IN A VIAL MADE ON JANUARY 22, 2011: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scekt7p1ZRo

I am raising money for...
Myself. I know it sounds selfish, however feels like I'm running out of options. I've been unemployed for over a year now and frantically looking for work these days. My bills for bare necessities are starting to catch up with me. I would appreciate anything you can afford.

The money collected will go towards...
The debt I've accrued from being unemployed.

Hello everyone,

About Me/My Situation:

Started a small computer service business in 2006 after being laid off from my regular job after 6 years. Managed to stay afloat until mid summer 2010 when I lost the contracts that provided 90% or more of my business and I had no money to go out on my own and obtain new contracts or more new customers. I was owed some money for work performed ( about $7,000) I will not be seeing any of that money.

After a while I started selling my possessions and items that my family had given me to sell, mostly accumulated junk like computer parts, beer steins that I had collected and other things at a weekly flea market, I cut down all my bills as much as I could. I looked for jobs for months. I borrow way too much money from my family as they could not really afford to lend it to me but they did. My parents and my brother also loaned me their cars when after i had to turn in my company owned vehicle leaving me without a mode of transportation. After a couple months of borrow cars I used whatever money I had managed to save and some money from an insurance claim to pick up a 15 year old vehicle for myself.

In November 2010 I obtained a full time tech job and a part time counter help job at the local movie theater. Even with two jobs I was still making much less that I use to and much less than I needed to pay my bills.

Finally I ended up filing for bankruptcy, "unofficially" close my business (turn in business vehicle leaving me without a vehicle) and recently just had most of my debts discharged, BUT I still need to catch up on a couple thing that the bankruptcy would not cover.

What I need:

1. Need to catch up on my condo fees --- about $1,000
2. My property taxes are about 2 years behind ---- $1,800
3. My heat, hot water and electric bills are past due --- $500
4. I need to officially close my business with the state which includes filing my annual report for the last two years ---- $1,000

Total I am need of is $4,300 I don't expect to receive all of this if any, but it did give me a chance to sort of vent while I typed this out.

Thank you to all who read this and thank you in advance to all who may donate.

Once I get caught up on these few items I should be good to go and would be able to stay caught up.

I really just need to vent and can't pay to see a therapist right now. First of all I am fucked in the head. My mother was and is emotionally abusive. I was called a bastard, whore, slut, or bitch most of my life. Luckily I wasn't my sister because she gets called a retard because she has dyslexia and a learning disorder. One time my mother asked me when I was about 13 if I wanted to see a match burn twice. I said sure thinking it was a trick of some sort. My mom lit the match blew it out and stuck the match into the top of my hand. The skin built up like it was melting wax. Now that I am an adult I am trying to make things work. I have tried to pay for school on my own for years now having to take loans out every now and then. Getting not the greatest scores in school because I have to work to provide for myself and not getting any help. Even when I have asked. I should clarify my mom paid for a semester of books for me. My parents for some reason feel they need to help my two middle siblings and not the oldest or youngest, I don't understand. I have gone through a couple jobs. I had a job a few years ago that was helping me stay fairly stable and I lost it due to lay offs. I got into a financial hole then since my family wouldn't help and I had a hard time finding a job, and I enrolled in school. Since then I have been working a seasonal job that helps bring in half the bacon. Trying to get myself out of the hole slowly. The last couple years I have been trying to get out of the seasonal job, getting a job year round. Its been hard though since people won't hire me thinking I will be going back to the seasonal job. I collected unemployment the last two years in the off season, so I could make ends meat and try to finish school. Just last Friday the State is trying to get me for insurance fraud. So I have to fight that now too. This spring my car died and the only way to get around was bike or bus, I mostly rode my bike in 100 + weather. Since the bus schedule didn't work with my schedule. I saved a little money and bought and old motorcycle. Now that is starting to cost me more and more $, to keep it running. I have been trying to save money so I can by a car at an auction or something and everything keeps piling up, it feels like. I have to drop my one class this semester so I am better able to buy a vehicle so I can at least get myself to work. If I can find a job. When will things get better? When can I quit fighting so hard? When will my family help me? I am tired there are days I just want to give up. I just need to try harder.

I am raising money for a new start for myself and my daughter. My mother recently passed away and we've had a difficult time with money after taking care of her settlements.
We are using up all my savings just to get by and money is running out. The money collected will go towards rent, groceries and my daughter's new school year.

If you can help please email me, and I'll provide the details.

Thank you,

This blog will devote an honest story about a very brave woman who throughout his life only knows the grief, pain and suffering ... my mother ... a few years ago, after a tragic accident and my father's death, even as an underage girl remained alone with her mother .. my mother is a really generous person, a person with a big heart full of love .. Given that we are after father's death, the other two of us, mother coped through life as they knew only that the two of us survived, and not to be found on the street .. She has worked in a company as a cleaner and thus earning money to pay the loan, and directing the money from which we live ... his mother a few months ago lost her job because she is on her left lung cancer was observed, and no longer able to work ... and is unable to pay the loan which was raised to buy some small piece of land on which we ourselves have made a small cottage in which we live now ... We have not had a man at home I remember that we are hungry, frostily operated and participated in building the house ... but the mother was always brave and hoped that it will get better tomorrow, cold nights comforted me, hugged and talked to all problems in one go , that we will one day live a normal life like everyone else .. when I saw a child playing with a beautiful, new toys, and after a few hours and toys throw it away, I would be sad, because my mother had money to buy me one, but this would give me the rules of the old pieces of doll clothes with which to play and comforted me by saying that we will one day buy the most beautiful Barbie doll ... thanks to her, I could not, even though she wanted, because he barely collected money to cover costs and bills that are coming every month. It's true mother did not earn enough to be able to start work on the house, so she decided while she had a job to raise a loan and to all health .. and better if it had never picked up, because now I see how in the dark room, because we do not have electricity that we excluded because of debts and a pair of unpaid bills sitting and crying, they drink a large quantity of pills that was kept alive, but not for long .. :((( is a look I know I can not help her .. just know that every month come new unpaid accounts, the rate loans more expensive, and we have no where to be back soon ... we expect that we will get someone from the bank, knock on doors and telling us that we move from our modest home by his mother with a lot of sweat, blood spilled and made ... .. I'm stuck because I'm his best friend and her parents asked him to allow me access to their computer and internet so I spoke to all those people who understand me for at least a little help ... because I know that somewhere in the world there are people of good heart that will help us .. I am sure of it ... that would pay off our debts, we have nothing to sell, but we only hope that all those who understand us in any way that could help us ... believe that we welcome and donations of clothes, medicines, money ... and also I'm sure all of you in your closet has at least one piece of clothing that does not carry, I believe that each of you every day because of money buying things that you never need, and believe that this money is welcome and anyone a bar for what little life he was much else in life, made you happy .. please do not judge me, do not make fun of this by my painful story, because I really do not know how to watch someone so dear to you and not be able to help him ... the only thing I want, and my greatest desire that I have is to see that beautiful smile on her mother's face, which has long since disappeared, because they are occupied by a pretty face problems, worry, hunger, misery and poverty, illness ... I believe that you or Written the smallest part of one of sadness and pain that we passed along, we pass by every day .. do not blame your mother that has raised loans in the bank that we can not repay, because if it did not raise never would have had nowhere to spend the night ... now just know that we were God is determined by birth and who will allocate which belong to the Society of bed .. just do not know what all the bad things in life happen to good people, why all the misery, disease, sorrow, suffering, going to good people? What are they deserve ... but I still have faith in God and you my dear .. and if someone in any way can help us..:((((((((((((((((

First of all, let me say that Im sure there are thousands of posts like mine. some are true, and others are not. This is my story.
I have always been a hard worker, with a good work ethic who is at work everyday and always on time and ready to work. I started work in the asbestos abatement field back in 2001, and life was good. we were finally able to afford to buy a home. the house cost 75,000 and was big enough for us to raise our 4 boys. then in 2009, the company i worked for went out of business, and did not give fore notice to any employee. I then collected unemployment benefits for the last 2 years. durning that time, i searched for suitable employment but to no avail. My UE benefits ended at the end of Jan 2011 which allowed us to pay the bills for Feb, then in March we had just enough money left to make the March house payment, but not enough to pay the other bills. since then, our Cable TV & gas have been disconnected, and we now have shut-off notices for phone / internet and garbage pick-up. Our only source of income is my wifes S.S.D.I in the amount of 525.00 per month. Back when we bought the house, we could not get conventional financing, but was able to find a private lender(at 10%) to finance the home. our mortgage payment is $730.00 dollars a month. if you do the math, you see that were on our way to being homeless. since im unemployed, and we purchased the home through a private lender we can not get refinanced. I have searched everywhere for some kind of help but none is available to us. so this is our last hope. First and foremost, i need a good paying job that will allow us to keep our home so if you have one that would be the best option to help us. If not, maybe someone could buy our home from the private lender, and let us pay what we can afford per month (low interest or no interest). We are good people, who have helped others when we were doing good ourselves and always give to our church and community when we can. We aren't looking for a hand out, and i willing to work hard to repay any kindness shown us. Since i can not find a job, i have created a webpage at http://funds.gofundme.com/3h1o4 to try to raise money to start a non profit business to benefit poor families with children that are in need of computers for use in school work and research. If i can do that, i could be making enough to support my family and keep our home. So if you can help us, please do and God bless you, and if you cant, then God bless you even more.

Hello everyone. I am here to ask for your help. My wife and I just enjoyed the wonderful experience of having a child and I want nothing more than for her to be able to stay at home and raise him. But due to the fact that I have outstanding student loans, which will require a $260 payment each month for the next 20 years, we cannot afford to have her stay at home. I am asking for anything you can provide to assist me in paying off my student loans.

I don't want to be a free loader, but I don't have much to offer either. So anyone that donates more than $1.50, I will send a random baseball card from my collection (I collected from 1986 to 1990). Each dollar donated above $1.50 will result in another card sent. Just leave your address in the Paypal note.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can assist in this. Ultimately, the goal is $29,621 - so every little bit will help.

I never really ask for anything,I have always been the one who gives.I guess I never took the time to save for my rainy day as I just did not expect it.I also did not realize that I am surrounded by people who are needy and they would not be able to help me when I need it. I guess when you are a born helper, you never look for something in return. I have been out of work for 6 months and have not have the money to pay anything. I have done everything I could do to bring in an income, including trying to start my own business. I need help saving my home. I take care of my 78 year old aunt and my son. We are slowly sinking. In the last month my engine went in my vehicle and have had my aunt need medications that went through the little bit of money I collected for the electric bill. I now understand the holiday blues. I am 7156.23 indebt in house bills, taxes and they have put a lein on my house for the taxes and local utilities. I am at my wits end. My son is great, he is not worried about the holidays, he says Mom not to worry about it, I appreciate him so much.I have posted on 2 other websites that brought me fraudulant job and financial offers, which I have reported those that were reportable to protect other needy persons. As stressful as it is for me to ask for help, I really do not have any other option at this point. I appreciate any help that can be given to my family. I am only asking for what I need, so I added it up as an assurance to any one who may be able to help can see that I am not out for more than that.

Hello. I have had a tough time figuring out how to get quality cord banking for my baby and I am running out of time - 4 months. I have very dime I make budgeted down to each meal and I have discontinued some services that I normally use to try to do this. Well, I have everything planned out for the copay in the maternity ward, breastfeeding, and day care. I have found used and sale baby items to get me through the first year, but this is something I cannot do on my own. The quality banks are very high, and the low cost banks do not offer financing or gift registry. If you know what I am talking about you can understand what an ordeal it can be to try to get a good deal on this without risking the specimen that can only be collected one time. They charge like $1500 the first year. Thanks for listening. Jane

We are homeless and living in a car.
We recycle anything with the CA CRV on the container.
(Aluminum cans, plastic bottles, ALL glass bottles, etc.)
We also recycle wine and hard liquor bottles.
We can come pick up whatever recycling you want out of your way.

We wouldn't be posting this if there were enough recycling in our area to go around. There are so many homeless collecting the recycling from the trash cans in the park we frequent during the day that there isn't much of anything in any of the trash cans we check every few hours. When we first ended up in this situation we collected plenty of recycling. Not too many people were in the park. Now there's about five times the amount of homeless people collecting from the trash cans. Not to mention all the people that are not even homeless who come and collect recycling.

If you'd like to help us out please send an email to EmmaL27@aim.com
I'd give out a phone number but we get spam calls and texts when I do that...
