Complications Tags

The main reason I joined the police department is to help others. Unfortunately, due to the economic downfall, I have not had a raise in five years and opportunities for overtime are slim. I am making under basic officer pay, which is not that much. In addition, cost of leaving, healthcare, lawyer fees and pension contributions have skyrocketed. Many of my brother’s in blue have lost their homes and even had their vehicles repossessed (yes at the police station). I have been lucky to keep my job and am very thankful for that. My wife and kid both had inpatient surgery costing me thousands out of pocket. Due to my wife having complications with childbirth, an unknown blood disorder, and debilitating lower back/hip pain, I will continue looking for a cure for her no matter what the cost. I love my family and will do anything for them. With that said, I have $32,000 in student loans that I am unable to pay at this time and I am at risk of defaulting which will devastate my chances of applying for a much needed car loan. I am asking for any financial assistance to help me pay off my student loan and medical expenses. It is my greatest joy to help those that are in need and yes even die trying. I am in desperate need of your assistance. Thank you.

I am a 26 year old married man who has recently become the head of a family. My baby girl was born on the 3rd of March, and I have been steadily looking for work for almost 3 months now. My 2 month financial cushion and emergency funds have been depleted, and my wife is unable to get work for another week because of her C-section complications (doctor's orders). We got an eviction notice today, and have no way to pay. I am a Commercial Diver (which double's as almost everything else, including carpenter, electrician, plumber, landscaper, fabricator, welder, etc.). If you have any type of work that needs to be done and that pays up front (I have until the 6th of April to pay rent), I will gladly do anything you need. Please please help. This is the last straw, we have tried everything else. Feel free to call me at (210) 887-4488.

I have chronic inflammation of a very important organ, and also a rare type of skin cancer that has been partially treated. Both of these were diagnosed in the past one year. However, further investigations would be needed with MRI to exclude very serious complications from this cancer. *(if there is a complication, that would almost certainly kill or leave me seriously maimed if not treated early.)

Basic info on me: I come from a former communist country now part of the EU. I went to high school abroad, as I was awarded a scholarship. Recently however, my parents have disowned me and right now I have nowhere to go, nobody to turn to. In my home country I have no insurance. I am in need of serious help, both financial and emotional.

The current cost of all treatments and investigations would amount to around 4000 USD in a proper hospital in an inexpensive country. please consider helping. I can be reached at the following address: frimurernye@gmail.com

I've been off work since Oct 2011 and will return next weekend because of severe complications (infections and open wound) following a hysterectomy. I've finally healed, but because of how the pay periods fall I will not receive a whole paycheck until 3/16/12. This will only give me about half of my $800 rent for March.

I've exhausted all my family and friend resources. There is no rental assistance in my county any longer until the renter has a court-ordered eviction notice in hand. That usually takes 60 days. By then I will have worked enough to have caught up.

I have plenty of food, some food stamps and (fortunately) cheap public transportation.

I got this apartment through the kindness of my landlord - my credit is bad - and I know that she struggles to make ends meet too.

I don't know what I might be able to do for people here once I get back to work again, but I will be back, and do what I can.

About me: Single, never married, childless, recovering alcoholic (9 years), I work as a residential assistant in a group home (9 years).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi. I am a low-income disabled woman in need of some financial assistance. In August 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery in October 2009 to remove both breasts along with reconstructive surgery. In December of '09, I started 6 rounds of chemo followed by 35 radiation treatments. Although the bills were astronomical, I was struggling along trying to pay them. My only income is social security disability. My healing was progressing until I developed a hernia from the reconstruction surgery (they took part of my abdomen along with my abdominal muscles to construct my breasts).

In Nov.'10, I had surgery to repair the hernia as well as the second phase of reconstruction to my breasts. I was to only be in the hospital overnight but due to complications, I ended up hospitalized for 2 weeks. I returned home the day before Thanksgiving but still was not doing well. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, the paramedics were called to take me to the hospital again. It was determined that I was in acute renal failure due to a bowel obstruction. I was in ICU for a number of days. While in the hospital, I was placed on dialysis with the hope that my kidney functions would kick back in. After another two weeks in the hospital, I was released to go home.

On New Year's Day of 2011, I began feeling ill again and was taken to the ER. After several tests, I was admitted again and scheduled for a colonoscopy to determine the problem. It was discovered that a section of my colon was almost completely closed off. I was scheduled for surgery to correct this. I Thought they would just remove the bad section, sew me up, and I could go home in a couple of days. I woke up with a colostomy which I had until April of 2011.

All this time, the medical bills were steadily racking up. On top of all this, Ever since the chemo treatments, my teeth have been feeling like they are about to fall from my head. The chemo did damage while undergoing treatments.

I would really appreciate it if I could receive some assistance in paying these bills and getting my teeth fixed. I am on a fixed income and can barely make ends meet. I receive food donations from time to time and that helps me tremendously with groceries.

Hello,

I have a real good family in real need.Still staying positive but have hit rock bottom. I dont drink or do drugs.

I have lost alot in the past few years. Laid off from my sales job, I then lost my truck then my home. We found other houses and barely paid rent for a few years. I worked with my dad remodeling houses. Then we lost my brother in 2009.
Motorcycle accident, he was 24.

In August of 2010 I witnessed my father have a fatal heart attack. This hit me hard and caused complications with everyday simple tasks. I continued doing our remodeling jobs for a while. My mom had nervous break down and got deeper into drugs.

I have my wife and kids that I am very thankful for.
Recently we could not pay rent and have moved in with my wifes parents and it is awful.
I know I can and will rise out of this.
Just not sure when. Any hell will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Hi. I'm a young man of 34 years, still single, but enjoying life. I was well educated growing up and studied business in college. I've had some recent hard times with the economy just as everyone else has. But I was prepared and was able to survive on money I had saved up. But that wasn't enough, I had to cash in my retirement account in order to still make ends meet. Being the business-minded person I am, I took a hard look at my finances and cut back on every single thing I could. But even then, my expenses still seemed to be more than my income. I requested my student loan payments to be reduced based on economic hardship and found myself borrowing against my credit cards each month in order meet my financial obligations. Now, I've found myself borrowing on one credit card just to make the payment on another credit. I did this just to stay current on my monthly payments so I wouldn't ruin my credit. My credit rating is very important to me and I don't want to risk it being lowered.

Right now, here at the beginning of the year, I'm just trying to get a new start on life. I'm wanting to wipe out most of my debt so that I no longer have to worry and be stressed about that day after day and be able to concentrate on the more important things in my life. I've started clearing out a lot of clutter in my life. I've gone through a lot of my storage boxes and getting rid of things I no longer need. I'm selling my car that has been giving me issues since the summer and now needs a repair that will cost over $800. I'm making plans of moving to another part of the country which I feel has a lot more opportunity for me. I want to get more involved in the lives of our youth. I'm starting a website which gives tips on money management and plan to integrate a monthly email newsletter as well. I want to organize local meetups for youth to teach them about money. I was also recently hired as a tutor for an online tutoring company. And I want to get involved with Big Brothers too.

I feel that making these plans are the direction I'm being called towards. I feel it's right within my soul. And I feel there will be many positive aspects to this later on the down the road. But the truth is, I'm still in debt. I'm still trying to work on my financial obligations. The tutoring company I was hired with is a new company and was supposed to be live in January. But I was recently told there were some complications with the website and it may not be until March or April before we could start. So that was income I was counting on that's not happening right away. Add to that, I'm in the middle of moving and came across unforseen expenses that I was not expecting. Having no current job, I'm trying to find ways of paying for those. And since I'm moving, it's kind of difficult looking for a job. And since I have no job and no income, I'm really not sure how I'm going to afford a place to live once I do arrive.

So, as you can see, even though I've been trying to make some positive moves in my life, it's becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of income and the increase in debt I have. So it would be a great help if you're able to make a small donation. Then I can start moving forward and changing my life for the better. Thanks so much for your consideration.

Both my husband and I are out off work.He with complications after back surgery.Me with a dislocated shoulder.I am also raising my grandson,whom we get no support for.We have so many bills,I lay awake all night worrying what we're going to do.The main concern most of all are utilities,food,and house payments.Any help that we can get would be greatly appreciated.In advance,GOD BLESS and Thank You so much for your kindness.

hello, i stumbled across this website while searching google for some financial help, someone suggested making a post here so, here i am. i don't usually ask for donations of any kind as i know everyone has their own things to worry about in life, but i've been taking care of my family for sometime now, ever since i graduated high school in 2008, i buy food, pay some of the rent, pay a few bills. (including electric and gas)plus i do what i can to make sure my little brothers have what they need for school, and at home. due to my busy schedule i'm not allotted time to go to college or anything like i'd want to, but i've been fine with that as long as i can help out and well, i was recently fired and looking for work now (no luck) now my little brother has heart complications and needs alot of surgery that his insurance won't cover all of.. i'm really stressed out, pinned against a wall here and i need every single bit of help i can get to help my family, and my neighborhood. i am also trying to build my own business that will help the other jobless folk around here. god bless you all and thank you for so much as taking the time to read this

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!

Hello,
I hate to ask for help like this but I am at the end of the line.
I lost my job earlier in the year after being ill for a number of months. I had an operation to remove my appendix and then suffered complications. The company where I work would not keep my job open while I was ill.
Although not fully recovered I have been trying to find another job as I cannot pay my mortgage and bills without one.
I have tried to ask my bank for help regarding mortgage payments until I find another job but they have refused point blank. I have reduced all other outgoings to the bare minimum but still can't make ends meet.
I am sure I will find another job soon - I have to with all the applications I have made - and could do with any small help to keep going in the meantime.
My home is all I have and I don't have the emotional strength left to cope with losing it.
I am devastated by what has happened to me through no fault of my own and if I could go back in time I would never have agreed to the operation and then none of this would have happened.

I have had Samson for 13 years, (12 years, 9months)We have been through thick and thin together and always pull through. Recently I noticed him pawing his snout after chewing on his chew bones and realizing after a day or two he started rubbing his snout on everything, it was not getting better. So I took him to the vet, and they informed me he has an back Molar Tooth Abscess. They even showed it to me. "ICK" Estimated bill from the vet is $321.86 - $394.36 depending on complications. If anyone can pass this on or even donate a dollar or two, I would be so thankful in so many ways.

The reason I am asking for help on this vet bill is because my fiancee' was just released from the hospital after a week in Critical care and a week in recovery from a past accident and surgery issues sneaking up on him. We have plans to move to a house in Missouri after the first of the year. I quit my job a few weeks early to take care of my fiancee' till he can walk and get around by himself again, which did not leave room for many more surprises such as this vet visit. We managed to save these last few years for the home in Missouri, enough to make my car payment and insurance, move with, and a little to fall back on till I start work down there. Though I am hunting for a holiday/seasonal job in the area. The vet highly suggest this needs to be taken care of now to prevent risk of infection getting into the blood stream.

I'm terrified of him having to be sedated, and even more so of the tooth infection getting worse, I don't want him to be in pain but I need a hand with this bill. We have already cut out Christmas presents this year so we can afford to move. If not, I would of gladly sold them all to pay for his health, but I have nothing left to sell. Samson's mom lived to be18 years old, and though he is old, he is in the prime of his health and you would never guess his age. I want many many many more years with him at my side.

Thank you for your time, holidays are tough on everyone, money is tight all around. I, out of everyone understand that. Anything will help even a $1. I promise in return I will update his progress with how everything goes.

Before I was able to qualify for medical insurance, I saw my doctor twice for complications from fibromyalgia and Barrett's Esophagus. Now I have $260.00 in medical bills and can't see my doctor until I have that paid. I'm constantly in pain and it's getting difficult for me to do the things I have to do. I need help.

Thank you for reading this and considering me for help.

I have been an electronics engineer until two years ago when our company's continued down sizeing left me without a chair. While I actually am working its mostly min wage jobs and mostly under 40 hours. I have one daughter and my wife is now 5 months pregnant. We do manage to scrape some funds together to bring wife to her monthly check ups. However it is the cost of the delivery. Our debt is getting larger while our living expenses seem to grow. We have downsized our lives as best we could.

I realise some peoplemay consider it irresponsible; having another kid with our economic situation. This pregnacy comes a compleate surprise to everyone, wife, me and Dr. During the delivery of our first child my wife had some complications. There had been an emergency C-section perfromed. As result we got a beautiful healthy daughter, but there was a consequence. Basically the doctor told us my wife my not be able to get pregnate again. I mean the odds against was astromonical. Maybe you can say this new baby will be a miracle. Just a miracle during unfortunate times.
Im not asking alot of money from a few people. I hope alot of people can send a little. GOD BLESS.. I do promiss I do help and will help others in simular situation when I my economic status changes for the better. I you please you can donate to my j-thibault@hotmail.com
I can send pics and updates to donars if they like.

It all started 5 years ago on June 17, 2006. . .a day I will remember for the rest of my life. It was the day before Fathers Day and we were driving with our 14 month old son to his grandmothers house when and SUV ran a stop sign slamming into us causing our vehicle to roll landing upside down. They say my fiance (my sons father) was partially ejected and killed instantly.

He didn't have life insurance, and since we were only engaged, there were no survivors benefits and so it was just me, my 14 month old, two dogs, and an old house built in 1927 and a laundry list of repairs that needed to be done.

After my fiance died, I think a part of me just shut down. There was so much to deal with. . .working full time, being a single parent with no support. All my family lives 6 hours away, and my fiances family never wanted anything to do with us and after the accident all communication stopped and I was alone.

So, I shut the doors to the upstairs of our two bedroom Cape Cod, and made my bed on the Living Room couch so that I could rock my son in his bouncy chair everytime he woke at night. . .on average 4 times a night.

I did the best I could over the years. During all this my Dad was a huge emotional support for me. We talked every day, he encouraged me to stay strong and I did the same for him (he was diagnosed with milodisplastic syndrome in 2005)his blood transfusions really took a toll on him and his physical weakness really depressed him. I know he worried about me alot because I would always call him for advise on how to fix things or ask him questions about car stuff. He was my rock and he died October 4, 2008 from complications with pneumonia. He was buried on his birthday October 8 when he would have been 56.

His death is still hard to handle. My rock my best friend and advisor was gone and now I realized I was truly alone. Not only did I not have anyone to help me with my son, or with the house or the car, but now I didn't have anyone I could really talk to that could just listen and be my guide.

All this happened so suddenly. My now 3 year old son and I stayed up North for a week after my Fathers death. There was a lot of planning and funeral arrangements to be made that during the midst of all this, 6 hours away in my little Cape Cod were the two dogs. . .Joe, a shepard and chow mix, and Rex, a shepard and Rotti mix left to their own devices. All I could do was pray that the damage wouldn't be too terrible.

I tried calling a neighbor to check on the dogs, but in our unexplained absence the dogs became extremely protective of the house and wouldn't let anyone it.

When we finally came home, there was definately a mess. I had to rip up all the carpet by myself the stench was horrible and the dust and dirt under the padding from 10 year old carpet caused more than one sinus infection. After a month I had all the carpet ripped up and have not been able to replace it.

After working and saving and with help from my Mom, in 2009 I was able to hire a Contractor that had been highly recommended to me by a friend of mine. He raved about how great they were and what a good job they did for him. We had a contract for about $19,000. This was to replace all the windows, replace the kitchen cabinets, new countertop, appliances, paint, everything the house needed after being neglected for over 10 years. So they came and painted and left. Six months later they came back with 5 of the 13 windows, installed the windows, but left the casements on the inside open and torn leaving exposed the Lead Paint and the original wood framing. Then in August 2009, they had the kitchen cabinets delivered to my house and they were stored outside on the porch. I called and called to find out when they would be put in, and no response. They stayed outside through the Fall and through the winter when we got three feet of snow and I called and begged and sent text messages and one day their phone number was disconnected. Then in June 2010 they called me!! They would come install the cabinets. So they came and tore out the stove and the kitchen sink and installed the cabinets and put a slab on granite down so I could have a work area and said they would be back with the stove and dishwasher and sink. They never came back. So I had kitchen cabinets and no stove, no sink, no dishwasher. Then in July, Rex, the Rotti Shepard mix got really sick. The vet said he was starting kidney failure. They kept him and did IV treatment and got his kidneys functioning and they said he need a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. I had no stove. I tried calling the contractors I yelled, I begged, I sent text messages and finally out of desparation I went and bought the cheapest stove I could just to be able to boil water for my dog.

The dog survived, but his survival was short lived. In October 2010 on the anniversary of my Fathers death, I had to put the dog to sleep. He was suffering from the samething my father had. He couldn't produce red blood cells anymore and would have to live off of blood transfusions. One of the hardest choices I've ever made.

Now here we are in 2011. Memorial Day I almost lost my now 6 year old son in a near drowning incident at a friends pool. Thank God the husband knew CPR and was able to revive him. He stayed overnight in ICU for monitoring but he is now a happy healthy 1st grader.

Me. . .I'm barely keeping it together. I can't afford to take care of my home. The carpet was never replaced and there is a horrible draft in the Winter and the Lead Paint is still exposed. The upstairs windows are leaking and there are water spots on the ceiling. There is a 4" crack in the basement foundation wall that goes all the way down the wall and across the basement floor to the other side of the house. I was told that the footing is slipping and that it was only a matter of time before the house caved. The gutters are falling off the house from age and the deck rails are falling off. I fear for our safety, but mostly, I'm afraid for my son. I want to give him a safe and healthy environment, but I need help.

Please, if there is anyone out there that can help us, I would be eternally grateful. In the meantime, I will keep praying and belive that everything happens for a reason.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my plea.

My name is Faith and I am a Christian mother of two school aged children.

I am filled with gratitude and thanks to God for all the blessings he has given me. The greatest gifts that I have been given are my two children.

I have never reached out to anyone for help, but today I feel compelled to reach out. I have been unable to sleep or eat for months, my hair is falling out from stress and my body is covered in hives.

I know that my hands are tied, I cannot solve my financial problems on my own. I have tried, I work full time, I have been doing additional work, cleaning homes, doing paid research studies, etc. I know that God has the power to put the right people and the right circumstances in our lives to solve any problems, even if they seem impossible.

I am literally drowning in debt. It feels like I am in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and I keep going down deeper and deeper.

My son was born with Congenital Heart Disease and required Open Heart Surgery. Due to complications and financial shortcomings as a result of my son's surgery, my children and I were forced to leave our home. I found another home for us to live in. Less than a year after moving into our new home, both of my kids became very ill. My son was once again hospitalized. This time he was bleeding internally. We found out that the home we were living in was full of Stracybotrus Mold, the home was deemed uninhabitable. I was told by multiple doctors and by environmental companies that we must leave our home. I was told that I must throw away anything that I had that could not be dipped in bleach to get rid of the mold spores. I rented a large dumpster, the kind that has the stairs on the side to climb up. I literally threw away almost everything that my kids and I have ever owned. I was forced to throw away all of our mattresses, couches, pillows, stuffed animals, stuffed animals, dolls,toys, toaster, curtains, etc. Just imagine everything that you have in your home, if I can't be dipped in bleach, it had to be thrown away.

The health of my children was more important to me that any material possession, so I was OK with throwing it all away.

We are now in another home and I am struggling to replace everything that I had to throw away. I have started with beds for the kids and toys to replace what we had to throw away.

We lost everthing. We lost the money that we put down on the mold house, we lost all the money I put into the mold house trying to make it a home, we lost all of our possessions. But, we have not lost our faith or our gratitude.

I am currently about $20,000 in debt, past due on mortgage, utilities, and credit card bills.

If you can find it in your heart to donate any amount, my family would be so grateful. I really do not care about myself, I buy all my clothes at second hand stores or garage sales, I cut my own hair and eat only things that are really inexpensive like Top Ramen. What I do care about though is my kids. They have suffered enough in their short lives and I want them to feel safe, warm and secure. I have protected them from the financial storm as much as possible, but I know that they see my crying and worrying about the bills, so this is why I am asking for help.

Thank you again for reading my plea.

Hello all.... I've learned over the past year that you really never know what will happen in your future. My husband had emergency open heart surgery at 23. He has had a lot of complications. We are in such a financial strain. We have one been married for 3 years and it has been so hard to keep our heads above water. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank u for taking time to read my story.

My wife and I along with our 3 year old bought our first home in Aug 2010. At the end of Oct that year I got laid off from my job of 5 years. So far we have been doing ok, but not living too high on the hog so to speak. We found out earlier this year that we are going to be blessed with another baby due in September. Like I said before we have been doing ok, but my wife's doctor has taken her off work early due to some minor complications. The only problem is , is that her short term disability is refusing to cover her time off and I don't know how we are going to cover all of our bills and mortgage with what little I get from unemployment and the few carpentry jobs I've been able to find. I hate having to resort to asking for help, but i need to keep a roof over our heads and the lights on. Any little bit would help and we all thank you so very much.

I am a single mother of 3and I am 8 months pregnant with a baby girl. I am currently in the hospital on bedrest as i am having many complications with the pregnancy. So my health problems have set me back with money to buy things. And I am in desperate need of clothes for my children. I need 0-3 month baby girl clothes,i need a boppy pillow and a bouncy chair for her. I also need sneakers for my 3 year old girl(size 11 and wide if possible). I am 2 months behind on my rent so if anyone could help my family,we would grately appreciate it.

This is a not a request for help to just travel the country and sight see or go on a cruise. I lost my job in November of last year. My Mother passed away from breast cancer and heart complications, I had to take sick days to see to her care and then for the final move to hospice. The company I worked for had strict attendance policies which I of course cannot blame them for or everyone would take advantage of it. I have been unable to find work since and not for lack of trying. I have finally had a job offer but as I live on the East Coast and the job is in the Pacific Northwest, I do not have the money to make a move like this in my current financial situation. I also need a little help to get a (cheap) truck so I can get there with my belongings. The job is on a horse farm and my "horse stuff" will not fit in my car, neither would my car make it that far (1991 Grand Marquis). My home is now in foreclosure and I just spent the last of my money to pay my electric bill.
I never thought I would have to resort to this type of desperate measure just to survive. I have the chance to start over with a great job, I just need to get there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any help I receive will be payed forward as my situation improves.
Upon request to those who have donated I will supply copies of all expenses incurred, i.e; gas, food, and lodging.

Three years ago, I managed to get back in school to work towards a BS in software engineering after being on dialysis for 15 years. I'm also finally on the transplant list and should have that occurring within the next two to three years. Waiting to get on the list was necessary because I needed the immunosuppressant drug regiment to advance by two generations before I could be sure that the side effects would not outweigh the benefits. Prednisone alone left me weighing 120 lbs (I should weight at least 170 lbs) during my first go-around with loss of kidney function.

I've had some medical speed-bumps while enrolled that arose from the complications of having both kidneys removed (they found a tumor) that cost me dearly in terms of being able to finish my classes successfully. The result has been the loss of $10491.30 of my financial aid (6 classes worth of tuition at $1748.55 a class). I've already paid $3497.10 out of pocket without going into debt beyond my school loan, but need $6994.20 to finish.

I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, watch TV, or anything else that doesn't contribute to who I am as a person in a positive manner. I mostly read books for entertainment.

Posting here is humiliating and hurts like hell, but I don't see any alternatives. I need to get moving forward so I can nail this degree down before transplant. All I want is to be a productive citizen with as close to a normal life as possible--getting my degree is a big piece of that.

Thank you for at least taking the time to read this.
