Losing Faith

Posted by Eve2012 on 2012-05-05 11:58:34

I know that I should always have faith but it's really hard to believe in miracles when I wake up everyday feeling I'm trapped inside of a nightmare. I have 2 sons and I take care of my babies but I need some help right now and i don't have any help. I'm in trouble with the bank because I took money I didn't have in order to make it this far.I found a way to make some money online but I have to get others to sign up and complete offers using my referral link and it really hasn't been easy. I've even offered to give people part of the money to help us both out but I'm not having any luck.

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

Hello,
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.

2 scared kids

Hello,
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 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. 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. Please help us if you can and we will accept anything you can give, we can use every penny offered.

living in my car in alaska. please help im cold!!!

Posted by ventura_highway on 2012-03-05 20:58:18

I know you don’t know me and have no reason to read this but I hope that you do. I am need of your help. I am 23 and in some dire straits.
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 don’t drink use drugs or any sort of tobacco product at all. I’m 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!

Young man about to lose his first place after one month

Posted by chefboy_D on 2012-03-01 21:58:15

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.

Vasectomy Reversal.

Posted by vasreversalplz on 2012-02-06 23:58:39

It's very simple really. 5 years ago my husband and I got a vasectomy... I had a feeling then that I didn't want to do it but we just couldn't risk a pregnancy because of our financial state. Now we are much better off and we would.like another child. There a several highly recommended places near our home in Colorado but the procedure costs between $2500 and $3000 and needless to say hard to come up with that kind of cash. If anyone out there would like to help the happen it would be appreciated more than you would ever know!!!

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.
Hi

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.

Please hit the donate button below that goes straight to my paypal account.

Help Save my home while I am in Treatment for Bipolar

Posted by ernewt on 2011-12-24 02:58:04

I am a fighter. My story is a long one with many trials and tribulations; perhaps not much different or worse than others, I am not sure. My name is Elizabeth Newton and I live in Loveland, Colorado; the Sweetheart City and Gateway to the Rockies. I was raised by both parents in a middle class environment. I am the oldest of four, in which, three are brothers. I was a creative child who staged puppet shows and created clubs in our neighborhood. I am not sure if you remember the fuzzy sticky feet, but I made my own with left over pieces of carpet and sold them to my friends.
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 – the mood would not go away – 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 father’s truck. I drove my father’s 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 – I was 32 years old – and pregnant again…..This relationship was worse that the first. It included drinking, drugs, sexual and physical abuse – 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 – raising three children on my own was not easy. We got by – 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 – 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 father’s 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 – 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 – 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 – 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? Let’s 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 can’t 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 “Please just let me go”. I am a fighter remember. I call the crisis line. They tell me to call 911. I don’t. I go to bed. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. Not a chance. The same message is repeating over and over in my head; “please let me go”. I tell my family I am driving to the hospital. I do not want anyone to come with me. I go alone.

Seed Funding

Posted by cljblind on 2011-11-14 06:58:47

I have tried for more than two years to secure employment in the Montrose area where I reside with my husband. I have had no success even after receiving an MBA in business and operations managment.

I have decided to create a job for myself and others but need some help with the financial side of the venture.

The need is to raise $20,000 so we can begin operations. The business will be a small diner and cafe serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Funds will be used for general operations, rent, utilities and inventory for three months to allow the business to grow and become self-sufficient.

I am willing to pay a return on investment from those who seriously are willing to help us create this opportunity.

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

For those who do not care to use PayPal you can mail a check or money order (USD) to KuntryKitchen Fund - % NVOAF P.O. Box 1016 Montrose, Colorado 81402-1016.

Thank you for caring.

$300 and a Laptop

Posted by uhelped on 2011-10-26 15:58:44

resortformymobilehomies.blogspot.com (click tabs for The Goal, Funding the Project and How Can I Help for more info.).

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.

Stranded in Texas

Posted by skyeyes711 on 2011-10-22 14:58:43

I moved here 2 years ago from a small town to start over after a failed marriage. Tried initially to keep the kids with me but couldn't pay daycare and refused to leave them alone. They went back with their dad, who is a good dad even if he wasn't a very good husband. Found a mediocre nursing school whose only appeal was the lack of a 2-year waiting list, and set out to achieve the dream I'd been trying to since 20 years ago, when my son was abducted and I dropped out of RN school in the emotional firestorm that ensued for my remaining son and I. I found him alive 2 weeks after graduating, living with his father up north. Now I graduated, working as a CNA, driving 40 miles each way for work, and barely surviving. My situation is this. I want to be reunited with my children, including my oldest who lives up in Colorado with my first grandchild, who I have never met. And I haven't seen him since 2009. I've got school bills, student loan bills, my phone (lifeline to find another job, which I'm trying so hard to do), and car insurance. That's serious business in Texas, folks-car insurance. Anyway it's only 47 a month but I still can't afford it this month. Phone, likewise. During the two weeks between my CNA pay (probably 5-600) and the next two weeks when I'm praying to god I'll pick up some overtime and maybe even get my graduate license going online, I've got not enough for gas and food after paying for the studio I'm in. Didn't want a year lease because my dream is to live near the people I love most in the world, and to finally see the sweet face of my son, who has been missing since he was 2 and a half years old. I'm strapped, sad, feel desperate and feel like crying all the time. Can't get public assistance because I've got a job and the kids don't live with me, even though I'm sending what I can, as I can, to their dad. Part of my survival issues-catch 22 that if you send money, you don't have it to pay to visit or have them visit. My heart feels like it's breaking all the time and I try to keep a smile for these sweet little old people I take care of at work..not easy. 4 or 500 would wrap it up, and you give me your email, I'll either give it back to you or to another person who needs it, and prove it with documentation. I think in 3 or 4 weeks things may be different, after the graduate license becomes active and I can schedule my exam and work as a graduate. Until then, God bless us all and I remain faithful and steadfast, if shaken..
Thanks for listening

Help Me Help Them

Posted by uhelped on 2011-10-17 14:58:00

Can you see yourself helping thousands of people with a one time donation of $100?

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!

Hello I'm a 38 year old man from Colorado. Late september of 2009 I caught the flu and, became very sick.The flu turned into double pnumonia and on October 3rd 09 I was admitted into I.C.U. and, placed on life support for two months in a coma.During that time I had died several times and, my girlfreind was faced with the decions each time wether or not to have me unplugged and, just let me pass(lucky for me even after she was told I'd possibly be brain damaged, she decided to keep me alive!).A few days after awaking I started to notice severe pain and, tingeling in my feet and,lower legs.I was told this pain would pass as I learned how to walk again,that was FAR from true.I spent months in bed unable to bare pressure on my feet.Then I progreessed a little and, somewhat got around with a walker,then with help of A.F.O. braces,then with a cane and finaly, with orthopedic shoe inserts.Never fully recovering.I've since been diagnosed with Peripherial Neuropathy.I have spent all my savings and monies on medical proceedures,specialty doctors ,medications, supplements,physical therapy,accupuncture,just to name a few.I'm still very sick and,unable to work.I receive Social Security payment but,(although I appriciate it grately and,could not get by witout it)thats not the same as working and the money barely covers my living expenses.I still need lots more medical attention but have no way to pay for it and, my other bills are falling behind as well.I would like to aquire enough funds to pay my bills and,possibly buy some exersise equipment to try and improve my health.I am not the kind of man to ask for help but, I'm desperate and, really don't know what else to do.If anyone who reads this is compelled to help I'd be so very gratefull.Weather or not you decide to help Thank You for taking the time to read my story,And may God bless you all.










Help reunite a poor couple, separated over seas

Do you believe in true love? I do, and I may always believe if bestowed the proper provisions.

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
