I’ve never asked for any kind of help before, and certainly not from people that I have never met! But my situation has become so desperate that I really do need help.
I have, for the last 15 years, struggled to make ends meet, following periods of ill-health, bad luck and catastrophic decision making. My circumstances are now very desperate indeed, and have even considered suicide.
In 1997 I suffered from a period of depression, that became so severe that I was forced to give up my job, and borrowed money to cover my mortgage and keep my house. Unfortunately the repayments on this ever increasing debt snowballed, and I found myself unable to meet my mortgage and household bills. I had ploughed my life savings into the home, and lost it all.
In 2006 I was approached by a friend, who was concerned for my financial circumstances, and suggested that we buy an old property, renovate it and sell it for a profit. I was desperate to make some money, and trusted my friend. I would refer you to full details of this in my Beg, as the project ended in complete failure having been ripped off by an unscrupulous builder. Work that should have taken 3 months took in excess of 9, and I ended up carrying out all the work myself. I regularly worked at the house from the early hours until well past midnight. The long hours left me exhausted, and in October 2008 I had a breakdown. I simply couldn’t carry on, and collapsed at work. My employer at the time was an unforgiving and vindictive man, and he said that I would be suspended if my work didn’t improve. I was afraid that I would lose my job, and under considerable psychological pressure from my employer I was forced to resign.
Following the failed business venture, which had plunged me into further debt, my breakdown and subsequent loss of my job, I simply couldn’t cope and pushed me into a long period of depression that became so severe that I planned to take my life. At the time I was so ill that I was unable to hold down a job, and this simply added to my woes - whilst out of work and undergoing intensive counselling I borrowed further. By the end of 2009 I was £15,000 ($23,250) in debt. I desperately want to rebuild my life now, but it is difficult to do so when I am saddled with a debt that is crippling me. Between 2009 and December 2010 my debt increased - there is no answer to it, and I will never ever me able to clear the £18,000 ($27,900) that I now owe. It is a debt that cripples me and prevents me from having a normal, happy life. I am 50 in February 2012, but have no future. I am tired of being worried, stressed, unable to sleep, and being depressed. Please, please help me start my life all over again. Please read my full story, and contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

I have a job and am currently paying rent, car insurance, car note as well as tuition for school. I would like to start an adult toy business and don't have any extra money to start.

I am very passionate about the industry and will be continuing my education with a degree in sexology. Although toys are usually thought of as something made for women, it is also something that couples can use to spice up the bedroom.

I would appreciate any amount. Every little bit counts. Costs will include a business license, products, website, business cards. There will also be reoccurring fees to keep the business afloat. I would also like to travel to the Adult trade shows to become more acquainted with the business and the individuals that are successful.

My husband just recently got laid off from a job he's been at for almost 2 years but after almost 2 months of very little income, he found another job. Its a really good job and I were are desperate to be able to keep it! All of our bills are behind and our disabled son has just started missing appointments with specialists 2 hours away (we can't afford the gas). For the sake of keeping our home, and continuing our sons medical care, we NEED this job.... we've tried everything we can think of to get the gas money to last until his first paycheck but no one has it to spare. Just $100 would give us enough gas money to last until his first paycheck. Anything would help and be GREATLY appreciated. I'm so sorry to have to sink to begging strangers, but I would be grateful for any help at all. Thank you in advance.

I am currently a college student looking for any help I can get to continue furthering my education at the University I attend. Initially I had a plan because my mother had the money, but she was confronted with an emergency that has cause even her to struggle with her own bills and has put her in a uncomfortable financial place. I currently owe about $2,000, but I have come up with some of the money. I hope to raise enough for my education and also to help my mother. Any donation would be more than appreciated.I'm just hoping to find that the wish I wished for, the Christmas gift I wanted to wake up to, and the start of an enriching year continuing my education
Thanks & God Bless

My name is Meya Acuna and I am writing you in hopes that you can (or lead me to someone who can help) help bring a Christmas miracle to pass! I am really putting my faith out here because this is something that I've never done before, but am in desperate need. I am a 30 yr old stay-at-home mother to a 4 yr old and 22 month old and am 5 months pregnant. Having turned 30 I have had a revelation that I am in need of continuing my education to not only help my family financially but to be an inspiration to my children who will one day wonder why I did not live my dreams and get a degree in education.

Over 10 yrs ago I began on the right track attending TCU for a semester but with no funds saved up for college it was soon apparent that I would not be able to finish. Much to my despair, I left Ft. Worth and began living out of my hurt by getting into drugs, lascivious living and just keeping bad company. It wasn't until I met my husband, a PK (or preacher's kid), that I realized what I was missing and that I did have hope and didn't have to carry around the shame and anger at not being able to finish school. I stayed home and worked while he got to go out and travel the world in a Christian band, living his dream while I helped to support us and when he got off the road we decided to begin a family. Well no one told us how hard that would be especially financially and I soon left work to take care of my children because the cost of daycare was too much for us (almost 1200 for the two of them!). My husband lost his job earlier this year due to a bad truck accident that left him needing two surgeries and us on public assistance. But we moved to Seguin and he was able to start work at TPS thank God. It doesnt pay all our bills but we are so thankful! We also moved back here to begin work on a ministry with a focus on our youth. We are big volunteers at our church, always making ourselves available to what needs to be done for not only our families but our community. Most recently we've assisted with our youth at the Daddy/Daughter Dance sponsered by the SPD and the Blue Santa wrapping days. It has been hard on just one income and in the past 2 years we have moved 5 times with our children finally settling in Seguin. I am from Austin and had never lived in a real community of people before. I love it here! Everyone speaks to everyone and it is not so rushed. I'm in awe of how a community is supposed to be! Parades, Holiday Strolls, wow!

This past two weeks we have done things we have never had to do before like seek help from Community Council and Salvation Army for utility assistance and visit the EATS food pantry. I'm thankful they were there but I just never thought in a million years I'd be needing those types of services. This is also what pushed me to go back to school. I need to do something bigger than me to feel that I've accomplished a legacy for my children. I won't let them suffer worry and fear the way we have recently. But I need help.

I'm pleading with you to please help me pay $982.07 to Texas Christian University before January 1st for a Loan that I owe. If I pay this loan off by then I will be free to attend a university with Federal funds to attend classes and began pursuing my Associates Degree in Early Childhood and ultimately a Bachelors in Education. I plan on getting a teaching certification and giving back to the community that helped me by working in a low-income school here and sharing my story through hard work that people helping people can make a difference in someone's life. Again, I'm not asking you for money for me or my family or Christmas presents or any "thing". I am looking to pay directly to TCU in Ft. Worth. None of the funds would go to me. I trust that what we need as a family my God will supply, because He has kept us this long and it's only going to get better. Please be a part of this transition out of a dry place into abundance. I'm humbling myself today by doing this and I trust that if you can or know someone who can, you will help me. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to sharing a good report!

I am a sophmore in college and am working over 80hrs a week. Over the past year I have had multiple health conditions that has caused me to have a gallbladder removal surgery as well as a kidney stone removal. I have acquired debt because of this and am having a hard time paying on both school and medical bills. If anyone could help me by donating any amount possible I would appreciate it. I would really like to complete my dream of finishing school and continuing my work with people with disabilites. It has been a very rewarding experience when everything else in life is going completely wrong. Thank you for taking the time to read this and helping me out if possible. Have a good day.

Hey,
I’m a desperate student looking for work and a loan to help me with my continuing with my education. I’m not a lazy person who is looking for handouts. I have applied for countless jobs (even at McDonald’s) and still haven’t received a call back. I’ve gone to numerous employment staffing agencies with my resume and took typing test but have not been offered a job. I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science but had to go back to school because I couldn’t find a job and did not want to get dropped from my mom’s insurance just in case I got sick or something. I had to continue with school too because I haven’t found a job to pay back my tuition. I have to commute back and forth to school which is in Atlanta two hours a day getting up around 4:00am to be to class on time at 5:45. My car is old and needs major work and may not make it if I don’t do something about it soon. I may have to start sleeping in my car at school because the tires are so bad and gas is so high that I don’t want to take the risk of not making it to school where I have paid for this semester. I’ve exhausted my financial aid and had to force my mom to get a loan at her credit union (she also has bad credit and cannot cosign with me to get a loan for myself) that will pay for me till December. I’m in Atlanta trying to get an Associate’s degree in Culinary and another bachelor’s in Nutrition. My dream is to work as a Registered Dietitian and have my own business as a small restaurant owner. If you were to help me please send your donations to my PayPal account or if you would like to talk to me some more about my situation please email me at vintagenights@aol.com. If you were to help me I would be indebted to you for life. Whenever I’m able to get on my feet I will pay you back if you requested. Please send your first name and email so that I can never forget you and remain in contact when I’m able to give back. Thank you.

I am a single mother of two talented and gifted children and a student of
the ADN (Associate Degree Nursing) Program at my local community college. On
Febuary 16th, 2011, my childrens father wipped out our entire savings and
checking account and the contents of our home, then disappeared. There was
absolutely no warning of this. My children and I simply returned home from
school to an almost completely empty house.

My immediate thought was that we were victoms of a burglary. However,
shortly after the police arrived, neighbors reported something even more
disturbing. My childrens father , along with three other men in a huge
company moving truck, spent most of the early morning and mid-afternoon
moving things out of our home. Neighbors said they thought we were just
moving. They suspected no problems. Even though he had taken every household
appliance, all electronics and my childrens cellos, keyboards and computers,
there was nothing the police could do. He was indeed a resident and on the
lease.

I tried contacting him on his cell only to find it disconnected. When I
called his office, I was informed that he had been seperated from the firm
for over a month.

This was awfull and my children and I were in need of answers. To cheer us all up, I decided that we should go out to dinner and
fun. That's when I found out about the accounts.

Although there was no furniture, well, only the childrens bedroom furnitue,
we remained in our home for as long as we could. I started working part time
at a call center at night while continuing my classes in the day.

We soon had to move of course. We were evicted for non payment of rent. I
found a one bedroom appartment that I could afford. This meant moving the
children into another school district.

At the time my daughter was in seventh grade, taking highschool algebra 1,
and highschool english1. Her other classes were all AP 8th grade courses.
She was also in orchestra with her cello. The new district does not allow
7th graders to take highschool class, so she was not able to continue on her
path. Not only did we have to face the challenge of academics, we also had a
severe problem with bullies. Because I had to be at school myself, the
children had to ride the school bus daily. In a horrible neighborhood, they
were beaten often and picked on daily because of how they talked and
dresssed. Telling the school principles and the police only made matters
worse for us and our apartment. The parents live in our aparments and they
are not happy with me calling the authorities on them. I have had widows
borken out in my car, tires cut and the front door of my appartment painted
with ugly words.

I sat out of school this semester in order to escort my children safely to
and from school each day.For now, I work at a call center
m-th 8am-3pm and sat 7am-4pm.

I am trying to move my children to a neighborhood they can be safe in and a
school that is able to meet them at their academic level and they can also
be safe in. If this could happen then I could return to my nursing studies
and the children could return to a safe environment and school.

I pay 400 per month for our one bedroom we are in now. I found some
apartments in a a safer neighborhood with schools that offer orchestra and
college prep courses. ( I have not been able to pay for any private lessons
scince their father left. And their new schools do not offer orchestra. )
The one bedrooms in this particular area are 750/monthly .

I am begging for help to raise enough money to move my children into a
better neighborhood before January so that I may continue in my studies and
they can safely do the same.
I have a 7 year old boy and 13 year old daughter.
I have completed all of my support courses for my nursing. I completed my
first year last year and this summer. So, there is only one more year
nursing school that I have before I graduate. I am pleading with anyone and
everyone to please help me. Any amount will help me reach my goal.
I am asking for help to maintain a 750 per month one bedroom apartment for
12 months. January2012 to January 2013.

Any amount that you can donate will be very helpful.
Thank you for taking the time out to read about my children and I.
Thank you

My name is Julie. I am writing in hopes of finding some help for my current financial situation. I sincerely hope that this is real and that someone can offer some help soon. I really do need some help and I am searching for some alternatives. I have applied for gov’t. help but have not found any hope so far.

I am currently unemployed and not quite sure what to do about it. Although I am looking for work I am not finding what I need. I truly believe that if I could just find a way to make it till the end of Oct, I can make things work out and be back on my feet financially.

I never felt like I needed a glamorous lifestyle, but I do need to survive. My youngest daughter is still living with me and my granddaughter (Rebecca) recently moved in also. She is ten and needed to get out of a negative environment. I am trying to help them, but the situation is taking a toll on my ability to keep up and accomplish what needs to be done.

Rebecca’s mom, my oldest daughter, was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP) at birth. Although she overcame many of the common symptoms of CP, her condition has deteriorated since she entered her twenties. Rebecca’s dad, we recently discovered, has long since suffered from severe mental illnesses. He was recently admitted to a psychiatric ward and later moved into long-term nursing care. Because of my daughters’ mental and physical handicaps she is not able to properly care for Rebecca by herself.

I was this family’s greatest advocate to keeping them together as a family unit and I hate that things have worked out the way they have. But I believe I am only beginning to understand the depth of the problems this way of life has had on Rebecca and how much she needs me.

She is a very smart 10 years old, but exhibits behaviors associated with mental disease. She has been labeled learning delayed and I am frustrated that her delay is caused by the learned behaviors of her parents and not because of her intelligence or ability to learn.

Although Rebecca is in a much better place now, I am struggling to make it financially. I have been working on some projects and am hopeful that with a bit more time, they will work out. Right now I am in danger of loosing our apartment and not having a place to live, as I have not been able to come up with all of the money for rent for September yet. I still need 425.00 for Sept rent, and 242.00 for the past due on the light bill. I have not given up and am continuing to find ways to make it all work out.

I figured up what I need to catch up the necessary bills and expenses through the end of October. I need to come up with $2,215 to make it to the end of October. I sincerely believe that I will be able to get things back on track by Nov, if there is any way I can find a way to catch up.

I feel that I should ask for what I need and be really grateful for any help that I receive. I have always tried to help others in their times of need and always encouraged the pay it forward process. I do hope that what goes around comes around for me this time.

You can contact me through email at jklmiester@gmail.com

Thank you for taking the time to consider this information and request, It is so hard to get the whole point across in just one page, but I did not want to take up too much of your time. I truly hope you can help us out.

Sincerely,
Julie Miester

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't my last resort. Life has thrown me a curve ball I couldn't catch. My daughter and I have been living with my Grandmother since early 2010 when my wife abandoned us after being diagnosed with post par-tum depression and turning to a life of drugs a few months after giving birth to our beautiful Daughter. I wasn't able to pay the rent, utilities and daycare expenses on my own so my Grandmother being the loving woman that she was agreed to put a roof over our heads while I started attending a technical school to further my education and career so that one day soon I could get a better job and be able to afford things on my own. A few months into my schooling my Grandmother fell ill. She started having problems doing daily tasks and eventually was forced to retire early. Which left her with a small 401k and a feeble social security fixed monthly income. She no longer had the money to take care of us and the tables turned on us it was I that now had to care of her. In late 2010 she was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and needed an oxygen concentrator to breathe properly. No longer able to do regular daily tasks we all take for granted. I had to put school on hold to stay home to care for her and my Daughter. My Grandmother wasn't to keen on going to a nursing home nor was I willing to put her in one when I was in a position to help her as she had done for me, we also could no longer afford daycare for my Daughter. A few months went by and we seemed to be getting along fine but, the doctors bills were piling up and we were forced to choose between the mortgage and continuing doctor care for my Grandmother. As the months passed my Grandmother continued to get weaker no matter how hard she tried to stay active by playing with or reading to her great granddaughter. In the beginning of March she could no longer get out of bed on her own. I had to carry her to and from the bathroom, cook and feed her all of her meals and generally keep her as comfortable and happy as she could be. At that time we were 4 months behind on the mortgage and struggling to keep the electricity that her life depended on, on. On June 8 2011 my grandmother passed away. She didn't have a large life insurance policy which only covered her burial and some of the doctors bills. She tried to leave me her house in her will but, probate court is trying to take it away from us because the house is going to be in foreclosure soon, we are now about to be 10 months behind, and her other reaming debt (doctors, credit cards...). So I am here today to ask for various kinds of help ranging from advice to money. I am not asking you to pay the entire debt and the house off but, for maybe enough to put my daughter back into daycare so I can find a job and hopefully save my house. In the almost 3 months since my grandmothers passing I have tried numerous ways of getting my daughter into daycare so I could find a job and be able to support my daughter and myself and possibly save the home my grandmother so graciously left to us but, to no avail.I am begging you for support. I need advise as to the best course of action to appeal to the probate court and save our home. I need the money to pay for daycare for my daughter which averages $100 a week. To pay off my grandmothers remaining debt which is close to $5,000. Pay for representation in probate court to appeal our case and to get caught up or pay off the house, we are now behind 6,751.16 on a total left of 33,514.81, and to get current on the utility bills which I have miraculously managed to keep on for the last 3 months by selling all of my worldly possessions. I am in a desperate situation and I'm begging for help. Like I said I don't expect to receive enough money to pay all of the debt but asking for enough to get my daughter back into daycare so I can try to save us. I hope you can find it in your hearts to help in whatever way possible. It would be greatly appreciated by my daughter and myself in this great time of need. I beg you for your prayers and generosity and Thank you for the time you took to read my story, Just writing it helped alleviate a little bit of stress. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Any advise is greatly appreciated and can be sent to zenkiawdsm@gmail.com. Thank you

I'm asking anyone who reads this post to please donate one dollar in order to help me with my medical cost for Lupus. Lupus is a disease in which the bodies immune system attacks and injures the bodies own organs and tissues. I've been suffering with lupus for over 10yrs and it has caused me to develop kidney failure, heart failure, gallstones, hair loss, sores within the ears, sores along my chest, disfiguring scars along my face, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis. I was fired from my nursing job because my Lupus flare ups caused me to miss work and remain hospitalized for weeks on end. I worked with the sick and injured for more than 20yrs and i enjoyed every minute of it. I just never thought that I would end up in the same situation as the people I cared for for so many years. atop all of that, my medical expenses are continuing to rise because of my hospital visits. please please please take into consideration all the things i've mentioned and please donate a dollar.

Sorry for my sobb story I know there is others who are worse off than us. I am a strong believer that God has us on a bungie cord he will let us almost reach the ground but it depends on our faith and hope that we bounce back up. I am a mother of one beautiful angelnames israel. I'm a loving wife who will do anything for her family. I have stuck by my husband in the last 2 years of unemployment. Or while he has small contracts. I've been working two dead end jobs and recently lost one. Living on a 200 dollar a week paycheck is a major struggle. I often have no gas and walk 5 miles to work. Our power was out for 3 days in houston weather. Our car needs a new starter, which if I do have gas I have to pop the hood everytime I start it. Our rent is almost due and I can't do it. I'm always paying past due stuff or late fees. I go days not eating just so my son can. I'm weak tired and scared. I have to stay strong. My wonderful son understands and offers me his pennys to pay rent. My husband had a nervos breakdown and wanted to die.I had to stay calm and help him. We have no family to help. I can't get anymore loans. I'm looking for another server job. He is continuing to send out resumes. I'm pleading for help. I need help. I have to pay my rent. Its 725 I have to pay by the 3rd. Can anyone help?. I don't have much to offer but I can donate kids toys some used cell phones that really arnt worth anything but maybe can come to use. I'm scared for my health, stress is not easy. But when I'm overwhelmed I look at my son. His smile is priceless. Bless everyone and thank you for reading about my life. Anne

Hi, I am in my third year of undergraduate studies. This year I will be paying for college on my own, and have no means to do so. My mother is a single mom with three kids in college, so there is not much room for help from her. She has raised us to be independent and hard working, and I work hard on teaching kids swim lessons, while continuing my education through the summer. Family members are too scared to co-sign on an education loan, and I have exhausted my savings....so I am in dire need of extra help. Every little bit helps.

Thank you so much!

I lost my job end of Feb 2011. I am a single father and live in Florida. While Florida is number 3 in the country in "unemployment", the county I reside "Pinellas" is number 1 in the state of Florida.

I have started a business selling computer software training solutions and my target audience is any "Information Technology" professionals in the field needing continuing education or wanting to get certifications.

The "information Technology" field is continually growing and will be around for a long time. With technology always changing, for example newer versions of Windows, training is a necessity for survival in this profession.

I am looking for some capital to help launch this opportunity. I am looking for about $10,000 to assist me in developing this business as well as being able to pay my bills and not exhaust what little savings I have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I heard about this site and figured, nothing ventured nothing gained. I hate to ask for anything however, based on the facts above on the "unemployment" in Florida, I felt compelled to try this. I am not too sure I have any expectations, however, you never know. Hence, here I am asking for help embarrassingly so.

If the organization you represent, has any "information Technology" professionals, perhaps we could discuss my training solutions for your team

I can provide any documentation as to the credibility of this business and web sites if contingent on receiving said assistance.

Any help what so ever would be so appreciated and welcomed and I will thank you exponentially from the bottom of my heart.

I have been working in a juvenile transition home for 10 years as a night guard and recently I have been aware of some of the teenagers being into photography and video editing. Having had used Apple products myself for the past 6 years, I thought it would be nice if those teenagers could be given something nice to work with. Generally speaking, those teenagers some from broken home or home where parents neglect them. In 90% of the cases, our day staff (social workers) succeed in finding their "place" in society. Some finding jobs, some continuing post high school studies. But a nice helping hand is always good.

In the past, we have received bikes from local sports shops, ipods from walmart, outdoors sports equipment (basketball and volleyball nets) Most donations were significant but none where the teenagers could explore their creativity on a more artistic level.

I am therefore, in their names, "begging" for either iMacs, Macbooks or money to acquire them for our residents. Any money donations can be sent to my paypal. For actual HARDWARE donations, you can contact me at email address snooper71 @ GMAIL . COM where i will provide you with the resident address and business info that you may need to "write off" your donations

thanks
Steve

So, I guess this is where I tell my story and list my reasons for needing assistance. This isn't so much begging as a loan request because I do intend to repay every cent to anyone who feels inclined to help.

Basically, I grew up in and out of group/foster homes because both of my parents were heroin addicts. Before I was taken away from them at age four we lived in junky squat motels where my father would boost and my mother would prostitute to support their habit. Eventually they were both arrested for crimes committed to support their habit and that's when I was made a ward of the state.

For a brief period my father got out of prison, cleaned up, and I lived with him from when I was about 8 to 11. He got me out of the foster home I was living in, met a woman at the church he started attending and got a job as a truck driver. While he was gone at work she would beat me continuing the abuse I endured previously in the foster homes I was shuffled through. It didn't take long until he started using again, and we found out that he had contracted AIDS from sharing dirty needles while he was in prison. During the time he was sick I ended up having to take care of him every day after I got home from school because my abusive stepmother was either at work or would have nothing to do with him when she wasn't. Of course, he got progressively worse and my step-mom decided she no longer wanted to support either of us, so she stuck him in a hospice. I came home from school one day and the paramedics were loading him into the back of an ambulance. For the next month she would not tell me where he was or let me contact him. At the end of that month, she left me on the doorstep of my grandmother's house (mom's mom) and was gone.

My father died about 3 weeks after that, but because my biological mother was living at my grandmother's as well we did make daily trips to see him those last weeks. A small mercy being able to spend some time with him before he died. My biological mother had gotten out of prison after my father had and had moved in with my grandmother because she was trying to get clean, but that did not last long and while we would go visit my father she would cop dope and fix up my dying father in front of me, as well as use herself. A couple weeks after my father died she split back out onto the streets leaving me in the care of my grandmother.

Needless to say with so much turmoil in my life I freaked out at this point. My grandmother couldn't handle her newly teenage grandson with so many emotional problems and kicked me out because I was so unruly. I lived on the streets, in and out of group homes until I was about 16 where finally I landed in a well run group home with staff that actually cared about the kids that lived there until I graduated high school. I re-established contact with my grandmother and mother who was once again trying to get clean. That didn't last and when she was out on the streets this time caught a lengthy prison sentence.

When I turned 18 I had to leave the group home so I stayed with friends and lived on the streets for a while again, but eventually ended moving back in with my grandmother. Not long after that she ended up being diagnosed with lung cancer. I spent the next few years nursing her, taking her back and forth to chemo and radiation treatments everyday after working the night shift as a waiter. During that time my mother got out of prison, but could no longer run the streets because now she was diagnosed with emphysema.

My grandmother did have a brief remission, but finally did succumb to her disease. After that, my mother's disease started getting progressively worse and worse. To top it all off after that she herself was also diagnosed with lung cancer. Thankfully during that time I did have some help taking care of her because I found a wonderful woman who became my fiancée. We took turns taking my mother to her chemo and radiation treatments.

Now, there is a lot more detail to this story with many more ins and outs, but that is the general outline. I guess you're probably wondering where the begging comes in and what I need it for?

Ok, here goes:

During that time my fiancée's horse riding lesson business tanked, and because of the nature of my mother's disease someone always had to be home with her because she would fall asleep sitting up and choke her self to death so someone always had to be home with her precluding at least one of us from having a regular job. We got a small stipend from the state for taking care of her in home, and she would do web design and find odd jobs off of craigslist/the internet and that's how we'd survive every month.

Unfortunately it ended up not being enough to survive or get my mother to her treatments every day. She was on medicare and the closest hospital that would accept her insurance was 40 miles each way. So, she ended up shoplifting groceries for us and got caught. I bailed her out and we took care of her case, or at least we thought we had. Cut to 2 days ago, my fiancée and I are awoken by bounty hunters stating that she missed a court date and they had to take her in. Her bail is $20,000 because now she has a failure to appear, and since my mother died about 6 months ago she's been taking care of me and has been the sole bread winner like I was when her business was tanking.

Our rent was due 3 days ago and the manager of the extended stay hotel place we live at told me we needed to be out by yesterday. I have about $10 to my name and if I don't have $600 to him in the next day or two I am sure his patience is going to run out and me, and my two dogs are going to be out on the streets, my fiancée will not have a home to come back to when she gets out of jail, and we will lose all of our stuff. If any of these details are unclear of if you have any questions about my situation please do not hesitate to ask.

If there is anyone out there that is inclined to help us in any way our gratitude would be eternal. As I said, this would be a loan. We would both work to pay you back as quickly as possible and I am not opposed to working for it now if someone has work for me to do. Also, if anyone would be inclined to help bail her out we could pay you back even more quickly. Neither of us has any family to fall back on or ask for help so this is the last thing I could think to do.

Feel free to contact me any time, and I will get back to you as soon as I can! Thank you for reading this, and considering to help. My gratitude is immense and eternal.

My name is Jeremi. I'm a single father to a 9 year old boy...Justin... I am trying to be the parent I was never given... I teach him and I show him love... but I want to show him more than the inside of homeless shelters. Please read my story...

As a teen I partied, did drugs, and had a great time mainly because I had absent parents that didn't care what i did and no one to give me direction...I had spent time homeless as a teen and had nothing... I myself turned everything around starting the day my son was conceived because I was determined to be a good father, and by 25 I owned a few apartment buildings, I no longer partied because I had a son and I vowed that I would be the parent I never had so he can have a bright future... I was financially stable and good with money... everyone saw me moving up from nothing... I felt proud of where I had taken my life... 3 years later in the spring of one year I got injured at work by crushing my leg with a fork truck which put me out of work... That following summer while I was still healing my sons mother passed away at 23 from a heart condition... Then in the winter of that same year my most profitable apartment building burned to the ground... All of this happened in one year!!!! I could have weathered any one of these events and recovered fairly quickly but not all of that at once...I lost 90% of my income and with what I made I could not afford the credit and mortgages I had outstanding... I was getting creditor threats constantly and I was going to lose what I had left to repossession and seizure... I knew some people that made money selling drugs and I made the stupid decision to give it a try... I was panicking and it was a last resort... I figured I could get in, make enough money to get back on track, and get out quick!!... unfortunately i was not a very good drug dealer... I got caught a matter of weeks after starting... The police raided my house... my son was only 3-4 at the time and was there for the whole thing... I was devastated... I was charged with trafficking cocaine in a school zone on top of a bunch of other charges they throw in for good measure... I couldn't afford bail and sat in jail for the LONGEST 6 months of my life...and social services took my son and told me I was never going to see him again!!!.... while sitting in jail I had no hope as I was looking at 15-25 years in prison minimum and my public defender said i was definitely doing at least the minimum... my life was over and I just wanted to die... while I was in there my sister (the only one in my life that didn't give up on me)sold off what I had left to be able to afford bail and a private attorney... My private attorney was a MIRACLE WORKER!!!! LITERALLY!!!!! The court battle took FFOOOORRREEVER but at the end I got 1 year probation!!!!! That's it!!! from almost a guaranteed 15 years in prison to only 1 year probation... I cant even ask God for a lottery winning after a gift like that... it really was a miracle and to ask for more in my life would be selfish... I didnt think i was going to get to raise my son... by the time I got out of prison he would have been a man... I would have been his biological father but he would be the creation of someone else... My son is all that means anything to me in this life and to lose him would be the end of me... Even after being freed from the possible prison outcome I had lost my son to social services and they weren't going to give him back to me... they fought hard to keep him away from me...I had to fight them legally with literally every penny I had left but in the end I got full custody back... Now I have my son and I am happy and like I said I cant really ask for more because I have overcome some impossible obstacles that I can only attribute to actual miracles because there really is no other explanation... But I have nothing else... My son and I have been living in a family homeless shelter because I can not afford anything... I am unemployed due to having a chronic eye condition called Uveitis... I would still work and I still look for work but even though I didn't go to prison everything I got charged with is still on my record and when I apply for jobs I get declined for all of them because of the criminal background checks... I've been turned down by so many companies that I am losing hope... I don't want to be a failure and I want to be able to raise my son better... I cant bring him up in homeless shelters and I need to feel better about myself but I don't see any way out of this situation except asking for another miracle... and like I said asking for another miracle feels selfish so I don't even ask God for any more because what he's done for me already is more than I should have gotten... My goal is to be a landlord again... I was good at it!!! I enjoyed it!!! I tell my son all the time... if I could get my hands on one million dollars free and clear I would buy 3-4 apartment buildings with all of the money all at once and get started building my career off of the rental income... I would be right back where I was before this all started... At the current rate it will take me decades (if at all) to get back to where I was if I don't get help... there is just too much to overcome... my credit is at rock bottom... I still have debt of almost $100,000.00 and I cant afford bankruptcy fees to get rid of it... I have no hope of finding a good job due to my mistake... I have no money for continuing education and already outstanding student loans and criminal history that prevent me from obtaining any assistance... My son and I live in homeless shelters... and I have next to no income... I need help.... I want to give my son hope for a good life and I can't without the miracle I can't ask God for... If there is anyone out there that can get me right back in the game...right back to where I was...I will pay it back or even pay it forward to someone else that needs it... Just contact me any time to talk it over...qmco@hotmail.com...

That following summer while I was still healing my sons mother passed away at 23 from a heart condition... Then in the winter of that same year my most profitable apartment building burned to the ground... All of this happened in one year!!!! I could have weathered any one of these events and recovered fairly quickly but not all of that at once...I lost 90% of my income and with what I made I could not afford the credit and mortgages I had outstanding... I was getting creditor threats constantly and I was going to lose what I had left to repossession and seizure... I knew some people that made money selling drugs and I made the stupid decision to give it a try... I was panicking and it was a last resort... I figured I could get in, make enough money to get back on track, and get out quick!!... unfortunately i was not a very good drug dealer... I got caught a matter of weeks after starting... The police raided my house... my son was only 3-4 at the time and was there for the whole thing... I was devastated... I was charged with trafficking cocaine in a school zone on top of a bunch of other charges they throw in for good measure... I couldn't afford bail and sat in jail for the LONGEST 6 months of my life...and social services took my son and told me I was never going to see him again!!!.... while sitting in jail I had no hope as I was looking at 15-25 years in prison minimum and my public defender said i was definitely doing at least the minimum... my life was over and I just wanted to die... while I was in there my sister (the only one in my life that didn't give up on me)sold off what I had left to be able to afford bail and a private attorney... My private attorney was a MIRACLE WORKER!!!! LITERALLY!!!!! The court battle took FFOOOORRREEVER but at the end I got 1 year probation!!!!! That's it!!! from almost a guaranteed 15 years in prison to only 1 year probation... I cant even ask God for a lottery winning after a gift like that... it really was a miracle and to ask for more in my life would be selfish... I didnt think i was going to get to raise my son... by the time I got out of prison he would have been a man... I would have been his biological father but he would be the creation of someone else... My son is all that means anything to me in this life and to lose him would be the end of me... Even after being freed from the possible prison outcome I had lost my son to social services and they weren't going to give him back to me... they fought hard to keep him away from me...I had to fight them legally with literally every penny I had left but in the end I got full custody back... Now I have my son and I am happy and like I said I cant really ask for more because I have overcome some impossible obstacles that I can only attribute to actual miracles because there really is no other explanation... But I have nothing else... My son and I have been living in a family homeless shelter because I can not afford anything... I am unemployed due to having a chronic eye condition called Uveitis... I would still work and I still look for work but even though I didn't go to prison everything I got charged with is still on my record and when I apply for jobs I get declined for all of them because of the criminal background checks... I've been turned down by so many companies that I am losing hope... I don't want to be a failure and I want to be able to raise my son better... I cant bring him up in homeless shelters and I need to feel better about myself but I don't see any way out of this situation except asking for another miracle... and like I said asking for another miracle feels selfish so I don't even ask God for any more because what he's done for me already is more than I should have gotten... My goal is to be a landlord again... I was good at it!!! I enjoyed it!!! I tell my son all the time... if I could get my hands on one million dollars free and clear I would buy 3-4 apartment buildings with all of the money all at once and get started building my career off of the rental income... I would be right back where I was before this all started... At the current rate it will take me decades (if at all) to get back to where I was if I don't get help... there is just too much to overcome... my credit is at rock bottom... I still have debt of almost $100,000.00 and I cant afford bankruptcy fees to get rid of it... I have no hope of finding a good job due to my mistake... I have no money for continuing education and already outstanding student loans and criminal history that prevent me from obtaining any assistance... My son and I live in homeless shelters... and I have next to no income... I need help.... I want to give my son hope for a good life and I can't without the miracle I can't ask God for... If there is anyone out there that can get me right back in the game...right back to where I was...I will pay it back or even pay it forward to someone else that needs it... Just contact me any time to talk it over...qmco@hotmail.com...

My name is Jeremi. I'm a single father to a 9 year old boy...Justin... I am trying to be the parent I was never given... I teach him and I show him love... but I want to show him more than the inside of homeless shelters. Please read my story...

As a teen I partied, did drugs, and had a great time mainly because I had absent parents that didn't care what i did and no one to give me direction...I had spent time homeless as a teen and had nothing... I myself turned everything around starting the day my son was conceived because I was determined to be a good father, and by 25 I owned a few apartment buildings, I no longer partied because I had a son and I vowed that I would be the parent I never had so he can have a bright future... I was financially stable and good with money... everyone saw me moving up from nothing... I felt proud of where I had taken my life... 3 years later in the spring of one year I got injured at work by crushing my leg with a fork truck which put me out of work...
