This is quite humiliating but I am desperate. I live with my two kids. I was downsized from my job. I have applied for about 30 jobs a day via monster,careerbuilder. I am the person usually helping homeless by asking for clothing donations, however I am now the one who needs help. I need help paying my rent for this month. I am very marketable and know I will get a job soon, but I am running out of time at my apartment complex. My one time rent is now at 913.00, because of late fees. I should be on my feet by next rent cycle. Just need a donation this one time. I can write a receipt, as a grant for any tax purposes as I think this would be tax deductible if you provide me the money. staci.hembrick@gmail

I've never asked anyone for help other then my family or businesses who lend money. Currently I've been laid off (who hasn't right) We've been doing okay. We have two children. We always go negative in our account so with the charges and all we haven't really caught up. We just payed our rent which is first of all. We don't have anything luxurious internet and T.V. is what we get by with. I just wanted to see if someone would help us with just two payments. It's a lot I know or else I would be able to pay it.

Our car is $254.54 and our W/S/G is $45. Gas would be nice to (We run our car on low mostly always) $40. We live in an apartment complex.
We wouldn't mind giving you the info and you can just do it directly or with donations it can add up. If you are able to help GOD BLESS.

We desperately need your help! We are a small church located in an economically disadvantaged community. We own a house that was deeded over to us by a former pastor and are at risk of losing that property because of our inability to pay some past due taxes on the property.

The house was deeded to the church over 30 years ago by a former pastor of the church who had become ill and subsequently passed away. The house is not located in the same community as the church. (In fact, it is some distance away from the church, and therefore could not be utilized for church-related purposes which would have taken it off of the tax roll). As a result of gentrification in that community, the property values have increased tremendously. The property tax assessment for the property owned by the church escalated to staggering heights during the housing bubble.

Because of this the church has had much difficulty keeping up with all of the taxes on the property (a general tax, a school tax, and a village tax). The rental income from the property is used to assist the church with operating expenses, maintenance of all of the church properties, as well as paying the taxes. Finally, reassessment in the last couple of years has brought down the amount of taxes to be paid and we are better able to handle some of the current taxes due, but some of the older taxes were sold and consolidated in tax lien sales. The consolidation of the prior taxes due has hurt us tremendously. Numerous times the unpaid taxes were consolidated prior to our completion of raising enough funds to pay off some of them in their unconsolidated state. Individually some were $1,000 to $3,000 respectively. They have been consolidated totaling almost $19,000. We are not permitted to pay the liens individually which was viable, we have to pay them in total.

There is a holding company based in the community where the house is located which purchased those liens. That company is now a few months away from being able to begin foreclosure proceedings and take a valuable piece of real estate out from under the church. This would be devastating to the church.

The church has been in the process of trying to sell the house and use the proceeds from the sale to build a much needed new church building in the community it is located as well as to pay off those outstanding liens at closing, and to unload a property that was once a blessing to the church, but has long since become a burden. We don’t want to lose the property. We want to be able to sell it. We had some offers on the house, but at the last minute a promising deal fell through. Previously interested buyers, for some reason now, are less interested. We feel it is possible that there may some collusion within the community where the house is located to wait for the lien process to move forward and that potential purchasers connected with the holding company will be able to take the property and flip it to tremendous financial advantage, while leaving the church with nothing for thirty years of struggling to take care of the property.

It is important that we are allowed to sell the house and build our new church. We are in the final stages of making the new building a reality. All we have to do is secure the construction financing. Receipt of a commitment letter for the sale of the house is all that stands in the way of a 40+ year dream for the congregation. It would give us the down-payment that we need to move forward.

With the construction of a new church, we would be able to operate before and after school programs, have handicap accessible restrooms, and provide better services to the community. We have a senior citizens housing complex across the street from our church, and many of the residents would attend our church but they are unable to climb up and down the stairs to the single-person restrooms in the basement. We also operate a summer day camp which would benefit greatly from having more space in which to operate. We would be able to accommodate many more youngsters, many of whose families are unable to afford the other summer camps operating in the area. We have had to turn down prospective campers because of space constraints.

Our congregational makeup has changed over the years. The financial impact of that changed has been coupled with the severe impact of the economic downturn on our community. We have more retirees now on fixed income, youth, and small children, many of whom have young mothers, and some people who are working age, mostly with working class wages. We need to build a church to better meet the needs of our congregation and community. We operate a food pantry and soup kitchen which would be able to open more days a week with bigger pantry space and a modern commercial kitchen.

As I stated, we are in the final stages of the building project. We have our permits, plans, and contractor selected. We are ready to obtain financing. The congregation, which has always striven to do much with little, has invested much in this projected over the years and the sale of this property owned by the church is the one thing that stands in the way of it happening. Please do not let us lose this property just so a few people can make a quick buck. Help us to pay off these tax liens so that our church will be able to help transform an entire community!

Hi,
Whoever you are, thanks for reading this post and if you choose to do so, your donation.

Let me just make my story short and simple. A few months ago, my parent's power was shut off due to a late paid electric bill. Wanting to help my parent's out I willingly shelled out the $1000. Unfortunately, I had an apartment contract that I was unable to cancel and it ironically was the same amount. Since I was unable to pay the apartment complex, I was turned over to a collection agency. Now the bill keeps mounting higher and higher and I'm looking for a job, but so far with no luck. I'm getting married in June and I don't want to burden my fiance with this debt; he really doesn't deserve it as it was my own fault for not paying off my own debt before paying someone else's.

I take full responsibility for the mess I've gotten myself into, but I know with your help I can overcome this and be back on my feet again.

Thank you for your help!

hello my name is jeff and my family and i are gonna be homeless in a couple weeks. i was working for our apartment complex and our lease was paid in full till 2015. but due to a forclouser i lost my job and now the bank took our lease to court and had it nullified, now we dont have time to save up the money to make a down payment. please anything helps thank you and god bless

Please help me out. I'm a college student struggling to make ends meet. I recently had most of my clothes stolen from the laundry facility at my apartment complex, and have little money to replace it. I also have car insurance payments coming up, as well as rent and food. I don't need much, just a little will help immensely.

The front end of my car was damaged during some road work outside the parking lot to my apartment complex. A road crew worker waved me up onto a high and jagged unfinished roadway. It scraped my front fender and knocked it loose. An acquaintance was able to bolt it onto the frame. I'm constantly worried that it's going to come loose everytime I go over any kind of bump or brush a curb. I have no other means of transportation and am very stressed due to trying to find work and not being in very good health. Please do what you can to help alleviate this one worry so that I can have safe transportation for job hunting, driving to work (once I find a job), and getting to the laundromat and grocery store. If just 12 people can afford $100, that will get me to my goal. But any amount at all is fine, no matter how small or large. If more money is received than is needed for repairs, it will be used for gas, routine maintenance, and other transportation needs. My car should last several more years if I can get the body work done. Thank you for considering helping.

Last month, I come home from a normal day at work, happy to see my two little boys (Josh 3 and Liam 4 months) and what I used to consider my better half. I walked in to find the house empty - no note, no indication of what had happened. I toyed around with calling the police, but it was clear this wasn't a missing persons case, or a robbery or anything else other than what it was. Everything was gone. Phone disconnected, bank accounts cleared out, credit cards closed. Suddenly it was me, the house and the car and nothing else. After a few days of searching, talking to family, friends and yes even filing a police report - not they cared much - I discovered I had been dumped for a guy my wife had been seeing for months. We has only just signed the lease less than a month before, and I thought we were really happy together. There were no signs - nothing that I saw at least. This really isn't the part that hurts, I can live with all this; it's her life and her decision. What really hurts is not seeing my boys.

During the first few days I didn't work, too busy trying to piece together what had gone on and why and how it had come to this right under my nose. The rent still needed to be paid, even though the house was unfurnished and too big for me alone. I was (and still am) locked into the lease! Problem number one.

Problem number two is rather more complex. Last Friday I received two letters. The first from a solicitor (our version of what you would call a lawyer) informing me of divorce proceedings and the second was sent a letter from the Child Support Agency informing me my wife is seeking child support payments from me. Now, I'm no deadbeat dad! I think all parents should pay for their children's needs but here I am - rent on a house I don't need, no furniture (some friends have lent me a TV and cooking utensils and a couch), no money to contest the proceedings and on top of that she wants me to pay child support while she's shacked up and living a 'normal' life with my boys, whom I haven't seen since.

I've seen a solicitor who advised me he wouldn't bill me for the first meeting - we talked about the situation, and what he could do from here... It requires more than I have, to achieve what I want and what I think is fair! All I want to do is split our assets 60/40 her favour (she has the kids). Get out of this lease that I'm legally locked into, and get shared custody of my beautiful little boys. Problem is she has the assets and without a court order to either return a portion to me or divest herself of some of the assets so I can be compensated, I can't pay a solicitor and barrister to get the money to do all this. Once it's all settled I'll happily pay my child support requirements, see my boys and leave her out of my life, seeing that's what she wants.

My solicitor has told me I could be up for as much as $10,000, but $6000 should be a good starting point. His firm wont proceed without knowing they'll be paid - fair enough, but what's a man to do in this situation?

I am literally begging for $6000. I haven't wanted for anything in my life - I've always worked and worked hard for what I had, but when it's all taken away from you, you realise how vulnerable we all are. I'm pledging that whatever I receive from this site that's not used in the case, I will pay forward, to another needy soul from this site. Please help... My heart and thanks, and that of my boys will go out to you.

Update: 6th Jan 2012. I've managed to get the proceedings heard at a later date, due to my personal situation. But nothing has changed. I still don't have the funds to fight this and to date not one response to my plea for help. I'm begging - literally for some assistance. I haven't seen my boys since December and I can't fight this without your help.

Hello, I am a young college student who is completely trying to make on my own. It's not entirely by choice. It's just the hand I was dealt in life. I have always paid my rent. I do not owe anything back rent, but that doesn't matter for eviction proceedings to start occurring with my complex. I am short this month's rent. I owe $404.72 for this month as of today. The late fees start at midnight. Because tomorrow is Friday the 6th, the eviction proceedings will probably start then too. I am desperately trying to avoid this. I lost my job back in May, and I have been looking religiously every since. In the meantime, I've been trying to survive off of my financial aid refunds. I'm not due for another refund until around Jan. 20. By then, I would be taken to court. I realize it is late, but I am hoping that you donate to me what you can. I don't have anywhere go or any family that can help me. Thank You in advance, and God bless.

Barely scraping by. I am self employed, but not bringing in much at this time. Need to get back home to see my animals and get my belongings. Only wanted to be gone from my home for a small amount of time and have been "stuck" in my current rut for longer than expected. I have complex ptsd (and other mental health issues) which really makes it difficult for me to find a job. I have just enough money to pay my rent and some bills. I really just want to get back to my old hometown. If you can help I would really appreciate it. I haven't ever done this before, but I do not have anyone to turn to for help.
My email is violet8880@gmail if you want to contact me.
Greendot and western union would work out best for me.
Willing to do work from home jobs as well...data entry, research, etc.
Thanks for your time.

My wife and I are desperately seeking any help we can find. My wife just started a new job 2 weeks ago and I begin a contract job at the beginning of January, however our apartment complex has filed for eviction and is taking us to court at the end of this week. We need $1300 dollars to avoid eviction and allow us the chance to continue working and get back on our feet. I am looking for anyone who may be willing to help us out. Thank you all for taking the time to read this.

I'm 23 years old, living on my own in northern canada. I have been self sufficient since the age of 16, and not without struggle.

I'm currently attending post secondary education, but my financial aid does not cover much more than part of the cost of my tuition and books, with nothing left over for food and clothing and medication.

I struggle with Chronic Complex PTSD, SOcial and general anxiety, major depression and am being monitored for bipolar- all of this caused me to lose my job that i had held for three years.

As you can imagine, things are pretty rough, but i try to hold my head up and get through each day, hoping one day i can catch a break.

So please, if you can, find it in your heart to help me out, and i will be forever grateful.

I'm asking for help in the general debt relief area. I live with 3 other roommates and one is pregnant and I'm the only one with a vehicle so I've been struggling trying to make sure I don't End up homeless because my roommates got fired and couldn't pay rent because they didn't have rides. Our weekly pay range from 70 dollars up to 250. I NEED to get out of this situation! I live in an apartment complex where my vehicle was vandalized and hit and run overnight. I can't get back into school because I can't catch up on my bills enough to save for school. I'm only 2 classes away from getting an associates in general business management, it's sad. I'm 25 and almost can't make a 200 dollar car note and 200 dollar rent?! I have 2 credit cards that add up to be 3,300 dollars and I've even had to be late to keep a roof over my head. I'm also hard of hearing (completely deaf in my left ear and partially deaf in my right) and my job is very loud and isn't helping that situation. I had financial aid for college but due to my move, I failed 2 classes and since I couldn't physically be at the school to drop my classes I am now on financial aid probation. My mother is going through a tough divorce where the guy is taking everything away from her... Even her home of 15 yrs (MY HOME) has to be sold because she only makes 25,000 a year and can't afford a 900 dollar mortgage (used to be 600 until her ex came along making alot of money). My grandmother is now helping her and she's going on 84... She shouldn't be having to deal with taking care of my mom and younger sisters and I'd like to be there but I CAN'T! Please, anything will help. As soon as I get caught up and able to save the 600 dollars I need for my classes I want to start putting money into my grandmothers account to help her and my family. Thank you ahead of time. Oh and also I'm quite tired of eating beans and cornbread and having to wash my clothes in the bath tub.

I am ashamed to that it has come to this. I need help so badly it seems so unreal... I don't know how it go this bad...
I am a 25 years old and I have a 2 year old, who brings such happiness to me. I rent a house for $300.00 a month. seem good deal right. That's what I thought while I was pregnant with my son. I had to move out of a apartment complex because they upped the rent to $850.00 a month for a 1bed/1bath and I still had to pay all the utilities. That was coming out way to high for me, know I had a little on on the way. I canceled my contract 3 months before it was up and I go A huge penalty bill for that, but I had no choice. I packed every thing I owned and move to a really really bad part of the city. It was 2am so I just went in with a blanked and a pillow and crashed on a couch that was left behind by some Tweakers. When I woke up I started to bawl. The front door was not Even a front door, it was a temp door that you find a a construction site. Th wall between to living room and kitchen was gone and the support beams were being held by a 2x4, The ceiling was sagging. the kitchen had water damage and the celling was dripping black water. The counter tops was pieces of plywood with wallpaper nailed to it. The bath hall bathroom was nasty like "stuff" all on the tub side wall and spoons that looked burnt? not sure on that but there were needles there. the three rooms not so bad a little drywall work and done. that master bath (if that was what was supposed to be) was backed up black mold? and something dead int the shower part. I called the lad lord and he said "you signed to contract knowing what was wrong". I reminded him of what he told me you said a LITTLE bit of work, Like little patches here and there... he told me you signed it and it said you were to fix up the house for part of the rent and pay 300 for the last bit. fine any how. the whole time I have been here it has be fixing on the house and trying to nurse a baby and work to pay the bills. 2 years down the line the roof leaks every time it rains, I landlord was so kind to replace toe swamp cooler for an AC. That gave me a $900.00 bill, because the house has so many cracks and leaks, it was cooling the out side world too. The hall bathroom tub has a cracked pipe under it and the wall around the spigot started to degrade. the cracked pipe leaks in to the master bathroom and floods part of the master bedroom. I could not pay my gas bill so I had to turn it off, but I boil our bath water to bathe. Work has slowed down so bad and I used all my unemployment to barely keep my head above the water. Now that it is gone... my rent is backed up to 1200.00 I still have to pay 900.00 for electric. I applied for food stamps but budgets had been cut back for the state that I get 150.00 for the month. so I applied for WIC and it gives us a little bit (two gal of milk, a loaf of bread, and 6.00 worth of veggies along with the cheese and peanut butter) I went and got a food box but there was not much ( a bit of pork, 6 mystery cans, and crunchy hamburger buns) all this was to last us for the month. I had to cut back to one meal a day so my son can have his 3 meals and 2 snacks. but lately I have gone with out eating but only once every two days. It hurts bad to do that. I lost 50lbs from this, I mean I looked at it positively, I kinda needed it. but my clothing dont fit any more, they hang on my body or fall off my waist and Now that winter is coming along... I cant get fall/winter clothing for my son, I am okay, I guess I have coats that work for me, He dose not fit any thing that he had last winter. I feel like I am a horrible mother, that cant even get her child clothing and I cant lose our home even tho it is old, run down, leaky, and falling apart. It is still a place that we can be safe for the elements of the outside world. I Have tried asking my mother to help us but she is having a hard time, too.
I am sorry to bother and ask y'all for some help. I am so very sorry, But I have to do what I can to help my son, so he dose not have to worry about when his next meal is or if he is going to be warm enough. I want him to say innocent as long as possible. No child should have to grow up so fast and leave their childhood behind. He is to young to know how harsh and hard the real world is. I want to see him smile over the smallest things at life, It makes all this worth it... for him. Please anything will help us. I will be so ever thankful and know that there still are people out there that have a heart and would show it to the world. Thank You for your time and Thank You for being so kind enough to read this. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

My back rent is only $2000. A couple months ago I received a cash advance loan to help pay some unforeseen car expenses. Of course, I got caught in a vicious cycle. I am finally back on track except for this one outstanding payment. My apt complex has been very helpful the past few months, but are now at the end of their rope. I need the $2000 lump sum to avoid eviction. Once that is paid, the rest of my life in on track. I tried getting loans from the bank, but I was denied due to a low credit score. My income is sufficient, but I just got behind. I am not looking for a handout. I will be able to pay you back over time or exchange the money with some kind of service to be rendered. Please help! It is greatly appreciated!

I am in desperate need of help. I am now a single mom of 3 lovely girls – 12, 8 and 9 months. I am finally at the end of a very nasty divorce. I have a full-time job and go to school for nursing in the evening and on weekends. I’m trying to do this so I can spend more time with my girls and we can live comfortably again. The lawyer fees have pretty much ate up all my savings. I am now covered to my neck in outstanding bills and don’t know what to do. To save money, I have cut off a lot of luxuries like cable, cell phones and internet.

I know it’s a lot to ask but I need about $5,000 to $6,000 to get out of this mess I’m in and to be able to stay in school. I’m in the process of fighting an eviction. I have to have $1,000 to the apt. complex by Aug.5th or they are going to put us out!! My car was taken back Friday and I don’t even have the money to get my girls the supplies or clothes they need for school. Let alone, keep pampers on my baby and milk the fridge.

If you could help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read.

Hello. My name is Karla. My story is very long and complex but long story short. My husband is a homebuilder . He lost work back in 2006 and has since found work with a guy building however the house is coming to a close and now the guy has cut his pay, cut all accounts off, telling him he will be jobless soon and no more money or help. My husband has been the backbone of the family due to me having to quit my job due to my daughter being hospitalized and sick. We are being evicted and literally have no where to live. We are very stressed and feel hopeless. We need help just getting on our feet once again so we can provide for our children the way we once did. Neither one of us are lazy or deadbeats. We just need enough to get back on track. Any help would be much appreciated and one day will be paid back in some way!!

A friend of mine told me about Begslist and told me to post a plea for help. Hi!! My name is Linda. Three weeks ago my apartment complex in South Philly was destroyed by a 3-alarm fire. I was not home at the time when the fire started. When I came home, I stood in disbelief while my home of two years was burning. Most of all the apartments, including mine were heavily damaged. The fire marshall gave some of us only a brief amount of time to retrieve what we could carry and leave. I told the marshall where my apartment was and he told me that area was a complete loss and I could not retrieve anything. I was referred to a hotel nearby as a temporary shelter paid for by a non-profit group helping the fire victims until they set me up with a homeless shelter. I am still at that homeless shelter. Thanks to the non-profit group, I have some clothes and shoes. I have very little or no pocket money. Some of the money I had stashed away at the apartment was lost along with some valuable possessions. Although my job is part-time and pays very little, I could not afford renters or fire insurance because it interfered with the rent, utilities etc.. I have nightmares about that fire everyday. It has left me emotionally depressed. I'm asking anyone reading this posting to please donate what you can. Even if its $1, $5, $10, whatever, your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Hello. my dear internet friend,

I am Binaya , consultant cum machinery supplier for agriculture and small scale industries , working in India particularly in Orissa state since last twelve years. But unfortunately, I am going through a very bad time since2009 & desperately need your help. Hope ; you will help me.

Through a series of bad decisions and poor judgments I have lost a huge amount in my business and now I have found myself in the worst situation I could ever imagine. I am completely bankrupt and have been shifted to a rental complex with my old and sick parents. I have fought tooth and nail trying to get out of this hell I have been trapped in for years now to no avail. Today I am in debt up to my eyeballs. Money lenders are hounding me multiple times daily and in this situation I am left with no other choice than begging to save my family. I do not really like to do this but I have exhausted every option I can think of need help desperately. I have no where to go and no one who can help.

I am in a situation that I know I will never be able to overcome without a help from you. So to save me and my parents please donate money as much as you can for which I shall be ever grateful to you.

Thanking you for helping me.

Ok so thisis the story, My car... is was set on fire. I am a manager at an apartment complex and yes I have to evict tenants, tow cars and just do the dirty work of the company. If anyone could doante just a $1 it could really add up, I just need a car to get to work! I am 28 years old, and just a normal bill paying citizen, I really need help, I have the pictures and police report to prove it all! Of course the the police havent caught the tenants boyfriend yet who did this. This is my first cyberbeg so please bear with me, ask any questions you need to.

i need 2000.00 u.s. dollars, to get me yet another month into the madness that has become my existence. money is gone. help through family has run out. social service agencies are helping as best they can. my disability is very complex and difficult. traumatic brain injuries are far more misunderstood and under-estimated than, multiple fractures,lacerations and nerve damage to the human body combined. i personally know this as fact. i lived through being hit head on by a tractor trailor. that was six long gruelling years ago. ive tried very very hard for as long as possible, to carry on with my life since. i have not much more stamina left. im tired. ive filed for disability. and of course. its going to be another battle to survive. i have no health care. no income. and certainly cannot afford to see the doctors that i need to further prove my case. ive seen their doctors, who did not dispute my conditions. yet lawyers cannot use their doctors against them. so im stuck trying to find a free clinical psychologist to help. i havent found one yet. and lutheran social services will not write a report to the social security administation for disability determination. i cant even get state medicaid without one. im doing everything im told to do. and its just taking to long. the things i need are not free at the walk in clinic. the person responsible for causing the mishap i was involved in, died and had no insurance. the small settlement i recieved came from workmans compensation. i was driving a company vehicle and on the clock. so at least my bills got paid. but they dont pay out large awards, and a good deal of what i did get was lost in 07 when the stock market tumbled badly and my managed investment account bellied up. im divorced,single, and 53 years old. i see no light at the end of this tunnel. i am, or was a good carpenter. the tools of my trade are in different pawn shops in this city. its been my poor mans bank, trying to get by and through this. they are all i have left of all the years ive worked. id love to get them back and not lose yet more of my livelyhood. 2000.00 dollars would bring my tools home, pay a couple utility bills and get me some food for my parrot[macaw] and some new socks and cleaning products. i really am broke. my kids help me as much as they can. thats very humiliating to me. i just want what ive paid into. its not my fault, or wish to get it this soon. theres so much more to this story. someone post back to me. i can show proof of everything ive stated. im not a scammer,derelict or otherwise dishonest. im begining to think ive been to damn honest. i need immediate help. i dont have a paypal account. yet my son does. god bless anyone who reads this, and at least thinks of learning more. i died and was revived, with not much chance of survival. but i made it. sometimes i wonder why.

A friend of mine told me about Begslist and told me to post a plea for help. Hi!! My name is Chet. Three weeks ago my apartment complex in South Philly was destroyed by a 3-alarm fire. I was not home at the time when the fire started. When I came home, I stood in disbelief while my home of two years was burning. Most of all the apartments, including mine were heavily damaged. The fire marshall gave some of us only a brief amount of time to retrieve what we could carry and leave. I told the marshall where my apartment was and he told me that area was a complete loss and I could not retrieve anything. I was referred to a hotel nearby as a temporary shelter paid for by a non-profit group helping the fire victims until they set me up with a homeless shelter. I am still at that homeless shelter. Thanks to the non-profit group, I have some clothes and shoes. I have very little or no pocket money. Some of the money I had stashed away at the apartment was lost along with some valuable possessions. Although my job is part-time and pays very little, I could not afford renters or fire insurance because it interfered with the rent, utilities etc.. I have nightmares about that fire everyday. It has left me emotionally depressed. I'm asking anyone reading this posting to please donate what you can. Even if its $1, $5, $10, whatever, your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless!!

Unemployment was just cut off for millions of people. I'm one of them. I was able to pay my bills with unemployment (after I scaled back many things) but now that's gone, and no one is sure if Congress will step up and do what they need to do. I have $96 in my bank account and no other source of income. Luckily my last unemployment check was just enough to cover December's rent. That's it. There is no more. I cut back on every bill I had when I first lost my job. I was able to get down to $1300 in bills, that includes rent, elec, phone, car pmt and insurance. I have no idea what I'm going to do. My next step is to sell everything I own, except clothes, my car, and my memories. I am a 38 yr old single female with no children, no family, and don't have any "rich" friends I could hit up for money. The few friends I do have are in the same boat. I'm here to solicit donations from whomever is willing to help me out. My main concern is my car. If I lose my car, I lose my lifeline, and if worse comes to worse, I can sleep and live in my car if I have to do so. I also have two cats that won't be able to understand that there is no food. This post sounds like a lot of rambling, but I don't how else to say it. If I am still unable to convince someone to hire me, I will be homeless next month. I never dreamed, even after knowing how bad the economy is, that it would take this long to find a job. What the heck? Please someone, anyone, help me with something, anything you can. Pennies add up to dollars. I have a paypal account, but if you want to make a check or money order out to pay directly to my apartment complex, car lienholder, electric company, etc., I have no problem with that. I just don't know what else to do, so I came here hoping for a miracle. God Bless!
