Complicated Tags

I am a 39-year-old woman living in the Nashville area who has been off of work without pay for the last month. Though I am employed full-time, I have run out of paid time off and am currently on medical leave until I can have back surgery. The surgery itself is not complicated, but it would entail 3 days of a hospital stay, 2 weeks of physical therapy to assist in regaining my mobility, and 4-5 more weeks off before I can return to work. This surgery, though necessary, was unanticipated and I do not have money saved to sustain myself for another 2 months off. I do not have children, so I am ineligible for cash assistance through local government. I do not have short-term disability through my employer. I am ineligible for short-term disability through the government because my condition does not require that I am off work for 12 months, nor will it result in my death. I am also not being allowed to withdraw from my retirement for hardship reasons because, according to them, I am -only- contributing the mandatory amount. I also do not have -perfect credit- so I am unable to go out and obtain a loan for what I need. I have tried so many avenues and have hit dead ends each time. My goal is to raise $2500 to cover rent and expenses for up to three months: 2 months of actual recovery time and an additional months worth for incidentals and to give me time to return to work and have regular paychecks come in. Please help so that I can regain my ability to walk without pain and return to work. Thank you.

All the financial means that would've let my best friend/spirit sister be matron of honor at my wedding have fallen thru, in true Murphy's Law fashion. This is one of MANY snafus all draining joy from my wedding, the worst being my dad passing away. I'd forgo all the gifts on my registry if it meant my best friend could fly here for my wedding! (Please click the headline above for the full story. THANK YOU!)

I am currently 6 1/2 months pregnant with my second child... and I recently lost my job due to a week long stay in the hospital. I have a kidney disorder which only acts up while I am in the last two trimesters of pregnancy. I am behind in all ofmy bills and having absoluthey no luck with the job search. I believe its this big belly I am carrying with me :) I do not want to lose my apartment, and the stress of it all has made the pregnancy even more complicated. I need assistance of any sort to pay my rent and my electric bill. I have talked to every resource around about getting help just until I have this baby but I have hit dead ends with all of it.

My situation is more complicated than I can explain, however I ended up as a single parent despite having been married and never expecting this circumstance. In brief, my husband experienced the onset of severe, debilitating mental illness and made several suicide attempts before we split up and my daughter and I have been alone since the last twenty years. I worked hard and partially succeeded in raising my daughter alone but during the last twenty years I became ill. My husband's family want little to do with us and do not provide us with any support. My daughter is trying to get through post secondary education and I am hoping that the economy will be improving but meanwhile I cannot pay the bills because my hours were cut. My own father is in a nursing home, he has no money to speak of, my mother died last year, and my husband's family will not help us despite their own wealth. We want desperately to become more independent but do not want to rip anyone off. If you are interested in my cause let me know. If everyone who read my message gave only a single dollar, imagine how much good it might do? We want to be able to buy a home so that we can put a stop to these high rent payments we make. A mortgage, based on my work history, would be less expensive. It sounds unreal but we live in Vancouver and want to stay here if possible for work and school. We have been here for a long time. Please let me know if you want to help us make some dreams come true. If you do, then I can provide you with more information to make donations and more details on our lives and how your donations are helping us. I know that we do not live a third world lifestyle but many people are unaware of how quickly homelessness can happen in North America due to lack of family support, which is our problem. Please find it in your heart to help us.

I didnt know these type of websites existed until today. I'm not good at asking for help and to be honest, I don't really feel that great about doing this, but at this point, I don't really know what else to do. And now, my story: I am a thirty year old single mother of a nine year old little boy, who both works and goes to school full-time. Last semester I was denied financial aid due to the fact that my completion rate was not satisfactory. Taking a semester off was not going to do me any good, so I paid for my classes out of pocket. I knew it was going to be tough and thought that I would be ok. Well, I was very wrong. Life gets messy and complicated and never really works out the way we plan. My car needed work, my son needed glasses, he got pink eye and we both got strep throat. I also just started a new job and dont have insurance (I couldnt afford the $400.00/month COBRA payment from my previous employer). Everything just kind of seemed to happen at once and I fell behind in every financial aspect. In an attempt to recover from this, I reluctantly got a Payday Loan. Well..if any of you have ever done this, you know what a evil perputal cycle it becomes. I got loans to cover bills, and then got loans to cover loans..and now, I'm drowning in them! I have six at this moment all for varying amounts, my checking is negative and I am still behind on half of my bills. I dont feel like there is an end to this. I would get another job if I could, but with work, school and my son, I barely have time to sleep. I dont get child support as my sons father aquired a nasty meth addiction and ended up in prison and my family is struggling almost as badly as I am right now. I take responsibility for my bad choices and I'm not asking someone to completley bail me out. I won't even tell you how much my debt actually is. I just need a little help here..thats all. Thanks!

I am a 23 year old student struggling to make ends meet and get through school. I am in my 4th out of 6 years into a psychology major, I am not working, but looking for work. My current issues getting work have been complicated in part to me being legally deaf, and being in school as well, in the past I did some work as a secretary, but they also needed help answering the phones as well. So I couldn't continue working there for that reason. I am a foster child, so I don't have family, and being a student, most of my friends are broke like I am.

I am in need of a car as the area where I am living is very far from any stores, which is making it difficult to get to school, to buy food, or get to the library for studies, etc. Once I can afford a decent vehicle I will dedicate my time to finding work and getting myself out of the current hole I am in. I now have a bit of cash saved up and am hoping to find something that I don't have to pedal soon, so any help that can be given would be severely appreciated and go a long way to helping me finish school.

Happy holidays to all!
A few months ago I asked for your help but I have not received a penny.
If before I was in a bad way now worse.
I still can not find work and I can not save almost nothing.
I live with my son 19 year old needs a complicated surgery to the mouth.
If we do not act soon his face will deform with hearing loss and other consequences.
Pay the mortgage or bills overdue for some time is no longer my priority.
For several years I have done charity and taken into custody boys stavaino community.
I have always believed that doing good I would one day pay off, earning a place in heaven.
Today it is up to me, no one offers them hospitality for this money and I often wonder if God has always given me the strength, the abundance and the joy of sharing, now that I need so much, I have abandoned it.
Maybe if I am here writing this I still have faith and to look for in you my God that I loved so much.
Sorry for my English, I'm Italian.
I am convinced that God is in each one of you and I'll soon confirmed.
Donate as much as possible.
Thank you.

I honestly don't know if this will ever find anyone who may help but I'm being optimistic despite the odds. I honestly don't know how to truly explain my situation but to say that I've just been "stuck in a rut" for, let's be honest, over a decade. I don't regret my life, for I know that I've lived it the best way I knew how & with the limited resources that I had available. I also don't regret it because my experiences have made me the person that I am today. I have done everything possible to make sure that my family is safe & healthy. Ultimately, they come first! However all I can say is that I've just been wrapped up in so many unfortunate circumstances that have had many factors that were out of my control, that basically one can conclude that I'm just NOT a lucky person!

Here's some history: Basically when I started college my family lost our home due to my mother's gambling problem. This lead to my father's infidelity which ultimately lead to their divorce (which both my parents made me decide if they were to separate or not). Several months later I found myself pregnant & kicked out of both my parents apartments. During that time I still tried to keep things together by working as many shifts as I could & by going to school during the day. It was hard because I was like a nomad, moving from one friend's house to another. At times I even slept in my car. But then there came a point where my pregnancy became too complicated and I ended up living in the hospital for 2 months before my child was born at 7.5 months. Due to his pre-maturity and the many complications that ensued I decided devoted my life to taking care of him. It worked to some point, where I was able to drop my 3 jobs and obtained a stable one. I was also able to obtain a certificate from university. However, when my father died. I felt the obligation to take on the responsibility of honoring his last wishes. In a sense it aided me to find a type of closure yet in another way it had opened Pandora's box. It was not easy grieving and dealing with my father's side of the family, my mother's side & to add more, my father's girlfriend's side. The funeral, the back taxes owed by my father, my husband loosing his job & my son constantly getting sick... All expenses were on me. To add more "injury" within the span of 9 months I was in a total car wreck, I gave birth to my second child & then I was in a horseback riding accident, that almost paralyzed me. Honestly, what are the chances of going horseback riding for the first time, loosing control & getting thrown off?!

I've really tried my best to deal with things one day at a time & also do it with a smile. But now I find myself dealing with arthritis, kidney problems, crazy medical fees, no job (since the company closed), and bills now reaching almost $60,000. Even as I look at that number now, I honestly feel a sense of nausea...

The only thing I do know is that, I still have a lot in me to give and I've tried, despite it all, to give it back by going back to school to become a licensed nursing practitioner. It may sound crazy & it comes at a very inopportune time (considering that I'm drowning in debt!) but by doing this course, it helps me in so many ways. It calms me... It gives me a sense of purpose, knowing that I may alleviate a person's pain, even in the slightest, which in turn somewhat alleviates mine as well. It also gives me confidence knowing that all the teachers that I have encountered during this course say that they believe in me, in my determination & in my will power to survive & conquer.

So ultimately, I'm asking you this... For your help, to help me help others. Even if you could spare $1.00. One small step, is still a step forward for me. And like I said in the title, despite all the things that I've gone through, I'm still optimistic & I still have a little fight left in me. So please help me fight!

I am living without father, with the mother of a disabled.
I have miopiya -8,0D in both eyes, which is complicated by astigmatism -1,5D.
Because of this vision, I can not find a job.
I beg you, my dear, only one - help me with money for operation of my eyes. Operation is very expensive for us. Including a trip to eye clinic in both ways and stay there, I need about 5,000 US dollars.
For comparison, a disability pension of my mother is 300 US dollars per month.
Help us, please.
We will be very grateful to all who help us!

This is complicated, and I sincerely appreciate anyone who takes the time to learn about my situation.

In the spring of 2010 I sold my car to a coworker. He payed in installments, so I didn't want to transfer the title to his name until I had received full payment for the vehicle. I let him take the car before he finished paying because he told me he had purchased insurance for it. Well, he rear-ended someone and it turns out he lied about having insurance. Pretty soon after the accident he left town, and I never heard from him again. Now, the insurance company of the driver he hit is suing my family for $8,000.

The reason this is such a problem is because my mother is starting chemotherapy for breast cancer. She's already had surgery and the bills are starting to pile up already. We just can't afford to pay for this lawsuit, and if we go bankrupt I will not be able to finish my degree. I am one year away from graduating with a bachelor's degree in biology.

Please help me keep my life together. I'm so desperate.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, it really means a lot to me.

hi im 24 years old,have 3 kids ages 6,4,2. my youngest daughter was born with no thyroid, a cleft palate, and heart defects. i am currently going through a divorce however its getting so complicated between the two counties that me and my husband live in, that i will need a lawyer. ive talked a good lawyer down to $500 to retain him and will be able to make payments after that, however im having a lot of difficulty trying to come up with the money. i also have just lost all my state benefits, because my hours at work went up a by 3 hours per week. the problem is that it states that i am getting child support each month, even tho i havent received anything since november 2010-but my social worker for the state says thats how it works so there is nothing she can do. so my 2 year olds doctor bills have been coming in and piling up, especially for her daily medication. so ive been even using change to be able to feed the kids and have gas. plus a lot of my money just went to school supplies. if there is anything you can do to help, that would be greatly appreciated. thank you soo much for even taking the time to read this :)

My wife had me removed from the SE Asian country we lived in and from where I made a living. I am back in Australia now, without work, on the dole and my kids need $3,000 for school fees, but it's more complicated than that. If I can't get the money within a week, the ex will move them out of the rented house and take them to another city staying with relatives. That will mean all my valuables - professional photography and video material and personal stuff there will be thrown out. She certainly wont protect my belongings but that is not the big deal - it's getting my kids, 14 and nearly 12, back in school. My son is particularly depressed and scared about all this. I am prepared to pay my way out of this when I secure work or work on your project if that can work. I sincerely need help on this so I hope you can help. Regards Geoff

With all of the world's turmoil and an unstable economy here in the U.S. I want to move my elderly mother back overseas to her hometown in Italy. As a part of that I would like to take myself, my husband, and my daughter with her, but the process of gaining citizenship is a long one as most expats know. During that time I would like to have enough money to live comfortably while looking for a new job and supporting her as she no longer works. Anyone who has simply traveled overseas knows how complicated and expensive it is. Moving ourselves there would be exponentially more expensive. If given the chance we would eventually settle and begin to pay back whatever we could if someone were to loan us a substantial amount of money. Otherwise any amount would be helpful in helping make this a reality for my family.

Hi my name is Jenny and I am 25 years old. My story isn't complicated and probably not as deserving like others in dire need but I thought I would give it a shot. I feel like im in a rut, working full time looking for a second job just to survive and barely getting by. I work hard everyday to reach goals and create a better life for myself. I've learn to accept that it is never easy and I just try to persevere with a positive attitude. I am currently in a beautiful relationship and am heading towards the direction of marriage but I feel money, or lack of, has always been the one thing stopping us from getting there. I just want it to be special and simple. I work in the wedding industry so it is very pressuring for me knowing how much weddings cost these days, at least $30,000. Although I am trying to save a little here and there it just feels hopeless..DON'T WE ALL HATE HOW MONEY DICTATES OUR FUTURE..and all I ask if there is anyone who is gracious enough to help me..help us. Everyone deserves a good life and all I ever wanted in this world is a wonderful husband and kids..Thank you for being so gracious to listen to me and I hope you are willing to help make my dream come true! Thank you.

That's all I'm trying to say here...Nothing complicated...

I am a single dad of 3, I was laid off from my job, like a lot of people in this country right now, on June 30th.
I was sitting around here one day and had a thought :

"There's people out there asking for money all the time, imagine if I could just get a significant amount of
people to give me just one dollar, I know I've given a whole lot to street panhandlers over the years,,why not
try the internet?? "

So, that's what I'm doing here....I can already imagine that the only thing to come of this is a bunch of
hate mail and spam, but anything's worth a shot, because you just never know, right?

So if you got the extra bread, and a few moments, you can send me a buck to my Paypal email account :

sendmeabuck@yahoo.com

I do also make music with my buddy that we sell (well haven't sold any yet) on itunes and amazon...
you can find our music links on our myspace at www.myspace.com/asciencemusic
anything will help!!

Also, if you're aware of a job in California doing land survey, send me an email !! I'd like to continue to
work in that trade as I've been doing for 4 years.

Well, if you've read my whole post I appreciate it for even taking the time!!
Thanks!!

I'm 43 yrs. old and cannot walk without the use of two canes. I have suffered damage to my knees and lower legs due to venous insufficiency caused by complications from a severe staph infection I contracted about three years ago.
During this same period I caught my wife cheating on me which led to a divorce and the loss of my job. I spiraled into a deep depression, became addicted to opiates, nicotine and food. I gained a lot of weight which severely complicated my illness and all aspects of my health.
I am finally slowly digging my way out of this deep hole. In the last year I have quit smoking, conquered my drug addiction, have healed about 95% from the staph infection and have made great strides in battling depression and losing weight. However, I am still currently disabled and subsisting on the meager $700/month our fine government believes is more than enough live on. I have been a musician most of my life and I'm now physically up to using that skill again to earn some extra money, but because of my illness I was forced to sell every last bit of my equipment and instruments to pay for my medical bills. I am asking not only for cash donations but I would also love to receive any donations of old guitars electric or acoustic, amplifiers, bass guitars (acoustic, electric or upright), mandolins, fiddles, harmonicas, keyboards, microphones, PA equipment, speakers, power amps, cables, eq's, compressors etc., mic stands, recording software, computers, anything I could use to play out or record a demo to get gigs. Of course cash is always best. At the moment I don't have a PayPal account, but I will remedy that shortly. Thank you for your consideration and prayers.
