Losing Faith
Posted by Eve2012 on 2012-05-05 11:58:34
I'm not able to work right now but I plan on starting school may 21st at Colorado tech online but I can't even afford the $50 application fee and they won't take it out of my financial aid. My mind never rests and rent is due in a few days but I'm already behind 2 months. The man I'm renting from has been trying to give me a chance because he knows I usually stand by my word but I'm out of resources and I have no family or friends that can help me. The only thing that makes me keep getting up out of bed are my boys. They Smile so bright and have no idea what's going on cause i just smile back at them. I just need a little help right now and a chance to get on my feet. My landlord will accept me paying him in installments until i am caught up and if you can help me by donating anything or even signing up as my referral and completing offers for me so you won't have to spend any money, anything to help me get close to keeping my place and paying off the bank because i owe them over a thousand dollars and even though my main concern is a place to live i do wanna be able to not be afraid of answering my phone when I get it turned back on.

Young and no money for food or rent
Posted by jq92buu on 2012-04-05 21:58:31
Me and my boyfriend are both 21 years old. We just recently moved out to colorado together to pursue our lives. We arrived with a set amount of money and had a specific plan to buy a car and get into a house, but things turned upside down. We have been forced to spend what little money we have in a motel 6 with our whole life in suite cases. We have been here for almost a month now and we have no more money to give to them. We have been living day to day for the and struggling to eat. We are very scared and see no other outcome but to be forced out on the streets. We have looked for jobs but it could be weeks before either one of us can get paid. We have pawned most of the belongings we arrived with and have been left with only our clothes. We have searched and searched for someone with an available room but it's hard for a couple, a gay couple at that, to find an opportunity, much less a safe opportunity. We had a life and we are both living examples of how your life can be turned upside down in no time at all. We have no family to help out and we are in a new area that we are not familiar with at all. We don't know what to do and are beginning to think that our future, no matter how much of a drastic change and shock, lies in the streets starving for food. We only need enough to get us into a safe and steady home. We are both very kind people and have helped others as much as we can. Now we hope that we can receive the same kindness from others in our time of need. Please help us if you can and we will accept anything you can give, we can use every penny offered.
Thank you very much for your time, interest, and donations.

Me and my boyfriend are both 21 years old. We just recently moved out to colorado together to pursue our lives. We arrived with a set amount of money and had a specific plan to buy a car and get into a house. We have been waiting on our tax refunds to come in but they have been late for about 2 weeks now and the IRS has informed us that we will not see anything for at least 60 days. We have been forced to spend what little money we have in a motel 6 with our whole life in suite cases. We have been here for almost a month now and we have no more money to give to them. We have been living day to day for the past week and struggling to eat. We are very scared and see no other outcome but to be forced out on the streets. We have looked for jobs but it could be weeks before either one of us can get paid. We have pawned most of the belongings we arrived with and have been left with only our clothes.

We only need enough to get us into a safe and steady home. Safety deposit and first months rent along with bills. One month and we can both be back on our feet. We just need some help. We are both very kind people and have helped others as much as we can. Now we hope that we can receive the same kindness from others in our time of need.

living in my car in alaska. please help im cold!!!
Posted by ventura_highway on 2012-03-05 20:58:18
About 7 months ago I lost my job. I used all my savings to try to keep my house but I lost that to. I am currently living in my car and to be honest I am not sure how much longer I will be able to keep that because I am behind two payments. I am NOT in this spot because I am a drug user or alcoholic. I might mention that I donât drink use drugs or any sort of tobacco product at all. Iâm just a girl who is down on her luck.
I have big plans for myself. I applied at one of the oldest Veterinary Technician schools in the country in Denver Colorado and I got accepted. The letter of acceptance came with great joy but also that of worry. I do not know how I am going to pay for school or even where I will get my next meal.
I know that I am capable of great things; I just need some help getting there. Even the smallest amount will be a great help to me. I thank you for giving me a moment of your time. I hope you can help me, THANK YOU!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I am currently homeless in Colorado Springs. Its sad to say, but I am one of many. With the tough economy more people are ending up in my position.
Even though I don't see a "home" any time in my immediate future, I do long for the day I can get off of the cold, often wet, ground.
For less than $60, I can sleep comfortably and safely.
Thank you for your consideration.
7 year old with extremely rare metabolic disorder needs help to get to the USA for treatment
Posted by 5kids2011 on 2012-01-04 23:58:28
Since birth my son has had many difficulties and spent nearly half his life in hospital.
Finally in September last year he was diagnosed with an extremely rare metabolic disorder.
The specialists here are doing there best to try and help but have always been honest with us and said they really don't know much about the condition and everything we try is trial and error.
My son has now started to go down hill losing 5kgs in 3 months. He has always been small but now only weighs 11.1kg and 109cm tall.
We really need to take him to colorado USA to see a specialist there that can hopefully treat him so he can live a normal life. At this stage they have said that unless he gets treatment they don't know how long he will live.
I really wish I could afford to take him now but with 5 children to care for finances are very tight.
Please if anyone can help in any way even if it is only $1 it would be muchly appreciated.

Help Save my home while I am in Treatment for Bipolar
Posted by ernewt on 2011-12-24 02:58:04
Moving on, I really struggled in school and got into a lot trouble. I was reckless, promiscuous, used drugs and alcohol and was dangerous. To keep it short, I dropped out in my junior year. When I reflect on those years, I remember some of what I did but mostly I forgot. I guess I felt as though I was being pulled by the strings of a puppet master whose name I now know is Bipolar.
When I turned 18 I shared an apartment with a friend. We both worked for the same nursing home and later for the Bureau of Reclamation. In was at the former job, I received my GED. I was still behaving recklessly resulting in a lot of missed work. But I was having fun being independent, partying all night but slowly losing control of my life.
I became pregnant by my boyfriend and we married several months later. My daughter is a grown woman. I then had another child four years later. Money was also a struggle. My husband wanted me to work but it did not make sense financially. I paid more for daycare then I was paid. When I found a position over the weekends, my husband refused to watch the children. That being said, I was still reckless â the mood would not go away â still a slave of the puppet master. Eventually the relationship became abusive and my husband left leaving $200 on the kitchen table. I did not have a car so I borrowed my fatherâs truck. I drove my fatherâs truck with my two small children in back to a safe house. However, it was not so safe. My husband who insulated homes, worked on the safe house. He found the truck and wrote things, I cannot mention here, on the outside of the truck. He coerced my grandmother to call me; and she did! Having to deal with these distractions kept me from focusing on me.
Good news! I was able to move into low income housing. It was a struggle to get my possessions; I took what I could. My father out of the blue wanted his truck back. My mother headed him off at the pass. I think I remember that my life settled down a bit. I enrolled in college. I loved college. In spite of this, I quit school to work from my mother at her computer store. Did I mention my parents were divorced? I am not sure it matters at this point. About six months later, the puppet master caught me and off I was again.
I had a boyfriend â I was 32 years old â and pregnant againâ¦..This relationship was worse that the first. It included drinking, drugs, sexual and physical abuse â oh my, sigh. In the course of it all, I secured a position for one of the largest companies in Loveland. I was thrilled. I had actually come a long way. I divorced my second husband and found my own apartment.
Wow â raising three children on my own was not easy. We got by â I was able to provide what we needed. I forgot to mention I shared custody of my third child and had to pay child support. I never complained; I met my responsibility. I was performing very well at work and procured a position of a trainer. WeeHee â my new position allowed me to travel the globe. Can you imagine, me, the girl from Loveland, Colorado? During this time, I encountered a lot of problems with my ex-husband. Once, he called me at work and said he had a brain tumor. It was a joke; I did not find it funny.
I was promoted again returned to school and bought a house!!! I cannot think of the words to describe these accomplishments. I transformed from the woman driving my fatherâs truck to a home owner; kind of like the Home Sweet Home book. I was still partying, drinking, but not like before. The puppet master must have been on holiday. I met the man of my dreams and we married in 1998 (I think). We are still together.
The puppet master had those strings a rolling. I could and did accomplish anything. I could see what others could not. I finished school with ease and received my BA in Organization Development in 2005. What year did my story start? We bought a new home in a nice neighborhood. It is a modest home but fits us very well. I was still partying but it was not disrupting my work and home responsibilities.
CRASH! He let go â how could he let go? A woman pulled in front of us and totaled our car. I realize this does not sound traumatic, does it? I really do not know anymore. What I do know is this rocked my world. More than any other event did â and there were many. I could not recover. My performance fell down the well. I could not sleep. I drank a lot. I would even get up at night to drink because I could not sleep. The unthinkable happened. My strings let me down. I swallowed a bottle of pills. I was so afraid. I spent three days in the psychiatric hospital and two months in intensive outpatient therapy. During this time I was on short term disability. I am a fighter; I have never let my circumstances stop me. I returned to work for about two months. Nevertheless, the strings dropped again, were they ever pulled, I am not sure; I spent eight days in hospital. I was out of work again. This time when I returned to work there was no position waiting for me. I was laid off the summer of 2009. I lost it all in one short year.
Remember I am a fighter. I returned to school in July 2009 to obtain a masters degree and I graduated in early 2011. The problem? I obtained a degree and I could not use without further education. I still do not say this out loud. During this time, I landed a part time job as an instructor for students seeking their AAS Human Resources degree. I make a third of the salary I previously did. I have performed this job since April 2010. It is hard. I forget â my memory is not that good. What you have reading are the highlights of my life.
Adult children and BABIES!! Not one baby; two and a one year old. My daughter was in a bad situation in Arizona. She was pregnant with twins, had a one year old daughter, had no car and was being evicted. The dad? Letâs say there is a lot to be desired. She packed as much as she could and moved in with us. Would anyone turn a loved one away in this situation? I could not. I was still drinking. As I write this, I now realize drinking was the one constant in my life. Sad. Her pregnancy had it challenges, but I think this is common. The first snowstorm of the year, December 30th, if you can believe that for Colorado, the babies had enough; my daughter was in labor. We called 911 since the roads were bad. Several hours later we welcomed two healthy baby girls! They will be one year old soon.
New Chapter. How many do we get? My daughter and 18 year old son live with us in our modest home. We clash, how we could not. I have been telling my doctor that I am depressed, damn strings. I canât sleep and my body hurts so badly; especially when I lay down. Oh, I forgot to mention, no drinking! I quit over a year ago. Regrettably the depression and pain are driving my every moment. I think the puppet master is on vacation. There is no hope. I have been out of work too long. We are waiting for the repo man to get our car. We are barely holding on to the house. How can everything crash so fast and so hard? I am a fighter remember. My mind is full of hopelessness. I have a note that says âPlease just let me goâ. I am a fighter remember. I call the crisis line. They tell me to call 911. I donât. I go to bed. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. Not a chance. The same message is repeating over and over in my head; âplease let me goâ. I tell my family I am driving to the hospital. I do not want anyone to come with me. I go alone.

This is seed funding - please consider helping. For more information on venture please contact me directly.
The business will be located in Western Colorado and we would like to open as soon as possible. We do have some funding but not sufficient to open the diner.
Please help

$300 and a Laptop
Posted by uhelped on 2011-10-26 15:58:44
After years of study and hands-on experience I truly have The Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs.
However, in order to fund the Goose, I need to start by trading the Forex. Because of the leverage involved and my system that will limit my risk, I can start this venture with only $300 and a laptop.
I am currently homeless and tonight we are expecting a low of 17 degrees in Colorado Springs. Since I don't drink or do drugs I can take advantage of the emergency shelter locally.
However, many others are not so fortunate. They need help in ways that they are not currently receiving. Many of the homeless have animals, and for that reason alone, they are unable to use the shelter.
Others are like I used to be when I first started going through this ordeal. They are still in their cars and purposely avoid association with the homeless who are not mobile. They may still be working, receiving a government check or nothing at all.
Help Me Help Them by funding my forex trading venture.
What can you expect in return? Your help will not be in vain. If you read the blog you will be able to see the type of person I am (warts and all). I have tried everything from looking for full-time employment, working day labor which is no longer an option because of physical reasons and flying a sign on the side of the interstate.
In addition to the immediate help you provide me, you can also know that you have helped thousands of others in Colorado alone.

Help Me Help Them
Posted by uhelped on 2011-10-17 14:58:00
The last two years of my life has been the most difficult financially, but the most rewarding on a spiritual and mental level.
I would not trade these two years for anything in the world.
Like most people, who had never experienced homelessness, I didn't have any idea what the true needs of our nation's homeless were. Most of us think of only food and clothing.
Seeing it from the other side, I have not only seen the need, but will do something about it. 50% of all proceeds from my business (international trading company) will go to meet those needs.
The start-up cost for my business are $3,000. If you can't spare $100, anything will help. By helping me, you will help hundreds of people in Colorado Springs, and eventually, thousands of people across the nation.
Help Me Help Them!

Help reunite a poor couple, separated over seas
Posted by jmcdon50 on 2011-07-07 19:58:43
She was the only thing that saved me from a life of crime and possibly worse, and she came all the way from Argentina to do so. I was, as I am now, a poor student in Colorado and a "lucky bum" who finally got a break by love finding him. Currently I study foreign language, ie; Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Latin. As impressively smart as one would assume i'd have to be to study so many languages at once, to the contrary I was terribly stupid where it matters most, which is at romance. In short because of being a total " fat -head" and ingrate, I let her get on a plane out of my life without saying goodbye. Its been over a year.
Since then, my nights have been like torture without her, and each new romantic fling has been as hollow and meaningless as the preceding. The good news is however, that her and I have keep frequent contact via SKYPE.COM video calls.(thank God 4 skype!) She is in the same position as I am, realizing that she too cannot find closure to our love, and therefore we have decided that we want to be together, except forever this time. So I decided to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina indefinitely to be with the only girl for me.
However it is not enough for me to just get a plane ticket and rush over to South America and live happily ever after, I will also need a job, as well as a room or a hostel to stay in while I job hunt. ( Quite frankly, I am not trying to be unemployed,broke, and living in her mother's house in S. America, no thanks!) Therefore I am also hoping to earn/receive enough money to enroll in a program called ITTO or (International Teachers Training Organization) in Guadalajara, Mexico to receive my license to teach English as a second language(TESL) before going to live in Buenos Aires.
Target date you ask? I am trying to get out of here by early september or october of 2011. As it stands I am basically homeless, out of school for vacation, (meaning no financial aid) and have been doing temporary labor jobs which barely keeps me fed on the weekly basis, let alone permit me to save money for the provisions necessary to go on this life altering journey to find the truth of true love.
All together, I estimate with the cost of a round trip ticket to Argentina ( round trip, because non- citizens are not permitted with one way tickets) as well as the cost of the fore mentioned ITTO course and travel to and from Mexico from Colorado, plus the survival money I will need once ( god willing) I arrived in B's A's, I stand in a financial need of about $5,000.00 or slightly more.
I realize there are people with more important matters that can use money, and I truly hope they receive charity just as I would like to. However this is a petition for those who understand what it is like to let the perfect one get away and could do little or nothing about it, like a child who drops their ice cream off the cone and sadly watches as it melts on the side walk. By donating to this cause, you can be the "adult" who walks up to that kid, fumbles in his pocket for some spare change to present that poor kid with a new ice cream that takes the tears from their eyes. She is my ice cream, and I don't want another flavor for my whole life. You can help make this possible, by aiding me with an airline ticket, or even check out the ITTO website and if you feel generous enough and pay the tuition of the program. I would be more than happy to correspond with each and every donor to update you on this story with letters and even pictures of what became of your generosity.
I'd like to thank any donors in advance, as well as any one who took the time to read my story and had it in their heart to give but wasn't able. Together we can prove that there is a such things as second chances at a good thing, chivalry is certainly not dead, and love stories aren't just for the story books, in fact...it can happen to you!
Thanks and warm regards,
James McDonald
