My name is Jason. I am a hardworking 28 year old married man with three wonderful children 7, 4, and 1 month old, and the best wife anyone could ever ask for. When I and my wife married we were “given” my parents’ home in NY along with the mortgage as a wedding present. My wife and I have spent the last three years renovating this home, dumping every single cent we had into its improvement. We both come from broken homes and both wanted something more than what we came from, and have managed to build a loving stress free environment for our family, and in a matter of a month my “family” (brother, mother and father) have managed to crush our dream out of selfishness and this, “the world owes me something” mentality they all seem to have.
I work full time and also do side jobs on weekends to make ends meet, my wife has been out of work on disability (she will return full time in the next 3 weeks) due to the birth of our son, which should be the happiest time of our life, and yet I get to go home and see my children upset wondering why there uncle is acting the way he is, I get to see my wife cry over the fact that we have been basically reminded that even though we pay the bill and we fix this home and have made it what it never was for me growing up an actual home, that it is not ours and we should have no say over what happens.
My brother who at one time made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year an selfish heartless drug addict, who even though has never treated me or my family with any respect I have always dropped what I am doing regardless of time or place to go “save him”, and by save usually picking his drug addict ass up and making sure he gets home, or dropping what I’m doing to take him to the hospital cause he is so sick from whatever he has taken this time. Now that brother has decided to move in with us, not ask, not offer to help, but blatantly tell me and my wife, “it’s not your house , I am not asking permission to stay here”, and my parents who told me this home was a “Wedding gift” seem to agree. They feel it’s okay for a drug addict to be living among children, that it’s okay that slowly one by one pieces of my wife’s jewelry are disappearing, or that since he came has literally taken over my infant sons nursery with his disgusting belongings that I found my wife sitting on the floor of the living room trying to feed the baby because he’s asleep on the sofa passed out cold and his belonging are strewn all over the house.
My only options are to buy this home that I and my wife have built a great life in so I can say who stays and goes, or to uproot my children and move as far from these selfish disgusting people as possible.
In order to purchase this home I would need a deposit upwards of 12000 which due to me draining my accounts my sons accounts and my wife’s to “save” my brother from jail, drug dealers, etc., we have nothing left. Which has led me here, led me to the point where I feel more dependent on asking strangers for help than my own family because they can’t even help themselves? I am the little brother (youngest of four) who has always had to be the big brother, I am the one one whose entire family drops there problems in my lap as if to say deal with it. I have been the pillar supporting every single family member I have for the last 28 years, the pillar has finally cracked and can’t hold up the weight of the world anymore. I am begging on my hands and knees for help from completer strangers so I can continue to give my children the life I never had, and offer them some stability instead of having to tear them from the home they have come to love, that my wife has come to love, that I love. I want to give my children the world but my family continues to assure that won’t happen under there watch. Please I beg of you with everything I am I need help. Please don’t make us just another statistic, I found my calling and made a life for my wife and children, I have put aside pride, because they are all that matters to me. Thank You for taking the time to read this and thank you for any support or help you can provide.

How can I help the poor and needy people? you may ask. I'll tell you how. I'm a poor minister, currently working in a factory. I drive an old, rusty 1985 Chevy Citation. My mechanic tells me I need a newer car right away but I don't have any money for one. It's so rusty the frame has cracked. It's literally being held together with a wire and chain so the frame doesn't rub on a back tire and give me a flat. And I need this to drive 12 miles and back to work every day to keep my paychecks coming in and for my ministry activities. And now the transmission is starting to go too. I can get a newer one right now for $5,000 that would last me for years but have no money and bad credit. So if you're asking the question, "How can I help the poor and needy people?" here's how. Mail a check or money order for all or any part of the money I need, anything will help, to:

 I am a 32 yr old mother of 3 who has never been in a situation of desperation such as the one I am about to present to you.  Early last year I worked at a job which paid more than enough money to take care of me and my children.  The problem was that the hours were from 3p-3a, which gave me no time to spend with my kids.  My oldest which is of school age only seen me on tue & Wed, which were my only days off, the rest of her time was spent with my sitter.  My job also had me work holidays and sad to say their birthdays as well.  Soon my daughters grades began to drop and my young children no longer wanted to spend time with me.  They cried for the babysitter and soon started calling me by my first name.  I went to my job and pleaded with them for a schedule change, they declined stating that my personal life wasnt their problem and they have 1000's of people who would love to take my place.  So I was forced to make a decision between money and my kids, I chose my kids.  I quit my job after saving enough money to pay the bills for a couple of months while I search for a job with earlier hours.  I felt this shouldn't be a problem due my previous work experience and my associates degree.  The 3 months I had given my self passed by very quickly without me finding new employment.  Because tax time was approaching and my lease was almost up I decided to use my tax money to find a much cheaper home (unfortunately in a much less appealing neighborhood) and use the rest of the money to pay for rent and utilities for another 3 months.  I have no family who can help me out and my kids father is nowhere around.  I have yet to find employment despite the many interviews and applications I have done.  A truck recently cracked the windshield on my car, my tires are bald, and the engine is going bad.  I cannot afford to fix these things and am now desperate to find a job before I lose my transportation. I would love for a great job lead or even an agency which can help me. A small donation would also help and if you send me your email address, as soon as I get on my feet I am willing to pay it back. For those who read this if u know of some job leads please forward it to me, thank you!!

I have anxiety disorder, sometimes raging agoraphobia and also fell in 2007, causing two vertebrae to bulge and also did some nerve damage to my left arm. I suffer from severe back pain, hip and leg pain everyday and I drop things with my left had constantly! I tried and tried to push on, through the pain and depression I had but finally cracked and I was laid off in 2010 from my job for not being able to handle the pain or the pressure and stress and shortly thereafter met a guy who I will call Jake. Jake has panic disorder, agoraphobia and dependent personality disorder. His family had abandoned him, his friends had become fatigued with his panic attacks. He was in a bad situation being abused by someone who was taking advantage of his disabilities. My mother had over 20 years of suffering this type of illness and was in an abusive marriage, and I had had my own issues with anxiety and depression so I felt I had to help. I invited him to come live in my home. I told him I would do all I could to help. I arranged some free therapy. Introduced him to my friends and family. Gave him all the kindness and love I had in me.

I had hoped it would help. It has not. He is still depressed, still agoraphobic and the worst part for me, still has dependent personality disorder. Now for those who don’t know what this is, well it means I can’t leave the house without him and naturally he can’t leave the house without me. We have not been more than 50 feet from each other in the year he has been here. He can’t go and do anything like movies, bowling, shopping or anything like that so I can’t either, when I myself feel able to do any of those things that is. Don’t feel sorry for me though. I have fallen in love and this is a small sacrifice to make sure he is okay.

We both applied for disability five months ago but it is still working through the process. My unemployment ran out six weeks ago so we have no more income and to make matters worse my father who has early onset dementia with psychotic features had no where else to go so he is living with us now. This has all put serious strain on me. How to pay bills with no money? How do I help this man I love get better? How do I get my sick dad, who has no one else to help him get to appointments with doctors and therapist when I can’t leave the house myself? How do I get better?

I am in serious need of help. I need to be able to at least keep the house and keep the lights on. I don’ t know what to do. I am lost. There is no help for someone who tries to help others. I called the department of family and children services and asked if there was any government program or even charity they knew of that I could apply for help with and they acted like I was a crazy person. She was like, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what to do for you.”

I am out of savings and my bills are due. I have appealed to family and friends but they are all strapped themselves. I have sold my van, a computer and anything else I had around my house to survive but I am tapped out. Now I am here, depressed and hurting all the time, my friend is here, depressed and we both are having a lot of anxiety. My dad is here and has no where else to go and I am so scared. I have never been in a situation where I had not only my life but the lives of others in my hands and I can’t do anything.

I feel helpless, hopeless and sometimes think it’s not worth going on. I just need some help making my bills for now until disability comes through. Then some of my stress will be reduced. Some that is. But that is most pressing right now. Like I said, keeping the lights on and a phone and car going in case of emergencies.

On top of everything I feel so alone. I have to try and smile because I don’t want my friend or dad to worry. I won’t them to know I am gonna be here for them and not let them down. But I don’t know where to turn to get the help so that does not happen. I am afraid. I am scared. I am depressed and stressed. I need help.

Hey everyone, I recently just lost my job, the head gasket on my car is cracked and my car just won't make it to town and back, I'm behind on rent and my phone bill is cutting my bank account into pieces, I don't have any clothes that are appropriate to wear to interviews.

Overall I'm having a really tough time with life right now and just need some help, if anyone can help me out It would be greatly appreciated.

Hello
My wife and I bought an old house needing repairs. We thought we could fix it up ourselves because it looks so easy on tv. Anyway everything keeps falling apart on it. I have had my pipes burst twice, ac is out, foundation has cracked all the walls, electrical system shoots fireballs out of the breaker box.
I just want it all fixed. I need about 20k to live I. Safety. If everyone could just give me a bunch of small donations that would be great. Or if someone wants to give me 20 grand that would also be great. Lol. Thanks

In 2008 I got in a car accident in Texas. It was my fault but there were no serious injuries and I had insurance, but I received several tickets. Like not yielding to the right of way, expired license, no inspection, no registration and no seatbelt. A month later my brother committed suicide after long and hard battle against drug addiction. Then another month later my Father past away from a drug related illness. Then two months later I was laid off from my job. Then that same month my car cracked a head. That year was the lowest I have ever been in my life. I just wanted to disappear. I tried to end it but just couldn’t go through with it. So instead of that and instead of facing everything I just ran. Not the smartest thing I know, but I had just lost it. I left my family and friends and I'm not really sure why. I ended up in a small farming town in Arkansas. It was long and hard but I turned my life around. Meet a great guy and got a pretty good job too. It does not pay much but I have enough to pay my bills. Last week I was driving home from work when a state Arkansas trooper pulled me over. I found out my license was suspended in Texas. I called to find out how I could take care of it and I found it was not that big of a deal if I had over $2000.00. I really need some help. It might as well be $2,000,000.00. I don’t have that kind of money. Yes I can set up a payment plan but by the time I’m done paying it off I will have lost my job, because the county it’s in will not lift the hold on my license till its paid in full. Can anyone help me? Please……………..

I will start off by thanking you for your time to read this. I am having car problems and the bill to fix it is beyond my means. I have been laid off from a factory job and I am now working a min wage job. I am hitting the pavement trying to look for a better paying job but its getting hard without a car. The total bill is 751.36 to fix my head gasket and thats if the head is not cracked. I dont like to beg for money but my family needs your help. Again thanks for your time.

I have a 1995 Honda automobile which is my only kind of transportation. It needs the engine to be repaired and new tires as well. The windshield is cracked and needs to be replaced. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Like a great deal of the populace, I have found myself, despite tremendous effort, to keep afloat in a series of unfortunate circumstances which are gaining momentum in becoming untenable.
I work my tail off as a domestic, I have no credit cards that I use irresponsibly, or at all for that matter. I care for an emotionally unstable, elderly parent whose home has reached a point of delapidation through her own unsound management of personal finances. The roof leaks whenever it rains, the foundation is cracked and only lastnight, the electrical stopped functioning in a portion of the house.
My ex husband ruined my credit, so no hope of securing a loan and there is no one within my family that posesses the means to assist with the situation.
I have medical bills due to a surgery that was intregal to my being able to maintain a source of income. I am only able to pay my ever increasing monthly premiums for insurance. Barely.
If my employer ever was apprised, to the full extent of my situation, she would be convinced that I would most assuredly be stealing from her, whenever she misplaced something within her 6,000ft. home and I would be terminated despite my devoted service to her family.
I think people don't tend to realize in circumstances such as mine, it makes me all the more dependant on securing an excellent reference to ensure that my options are not severly crippled from that point forward.
However, she isn't a bad person, she just hasn't ever had to struggle like this, so she just doesn't understand how the other half lives.
For years, I have desperately wanted to return to school and something has always been an obstacle: time, money, even a deficit of confidence in my own ability.
I can no longer endure the duress of only just treading water indefinately.
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and if it does, my mother and I both will be homeless.
Any assistance that in your kindness, you may provide, will not go unappreciated.
Thank you for reading this.

I hate that I am here...never thought I'd be on this end of the table. But when you lose a job due to downsizing, a single mom of 2, and have no family to turn to (I was the one helping my family)well I am in a BAD place right now. I am 1 month behind on my rent, my car windshield cracked and I they are about to turn off my utilities. I started my new job 3 weeks ago and will be okay in a few months but at this very moment I am at wits end and can't pay any bills. I need $3200 for 2 months rent and $1200 for utilities, grocery and windshield. Any amount a kind soul can donate: When I'm back on my feet a good deed WILL be paid forward: Thank you for reading and Thank YOU for helping.

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

I have black mould in my bedrooms. There is no cavity and it is one layer of brick and render. The render is cracked and is letting in water. This has created black mould on the walls. All I can do is scrub the walls with bleach. I can not afford to do any more.
It is making me suffer as I have yet another chest infection. I also have a 9 month baby in my room and I am scared for his health. I need to raise funds to get the render redone and then the damp and mould will stay away. Please help if you can.
Thank you Thank you Thank you so much. I just want my children to be safe.

Ya know I didn't realize that such a site was available until 10 minutes ago.some hope has been thrown my way and I thank you for that.Today is the day.I will be standing in front of my landlord at some point on this day and although my situation is real and understanding,I'll be honest and say that if I was my landlord I wouldn't want to be hearing these words.Name is Jeff.I was involved in an auto accident on May 23,2011.Rolled my SUV on my way to work in San Antonio,TX.Bout 6 1/2 hours from my home.Don't know what happened.Can't remember.Broken ribs,punctured lung,cracked spine they say.Finally was able to get out of bed 2 days ago.Can't use my left arm very well which is a big problem as my job is a real hands on activity.I work outage repairs at power plants.Would love to get back to work but reality has made me see that getting back in the game is going to be an experience that I have not been through before.I served 6 years in the Marine Corps and have been bullet proof everyday since bootcamp.Or so I thought I was.My employer offered to put me on lay off status which would help in getting unemployment benefits but the rules say you have to be physically able to go to work when offered employment.That's out.I have applied for temporary disability through the social security office but the fact that it is government which makes it a little slow,sounds to me to have any chance of qualifying for disability you have to be 100% down and from now until retirement age.That is when disability ends and old age begins.Also I think I can say without a doubt that a check from those people won't be here today.I have been married to a really wonderful lady for 25 years and she is helping with all she has got but it just won't make it.On top of her efforts she and I also have two boys.13 and 6.Working when she can,taking care of me and the boys is really putting her to the test but she's doing it.Just not enough for her to make the difference.I'm going on too much I'm thinking so here it is.$2000.00 would get us through today and several more.I really hate this believe it. but this is where we are right now.Really needing some help.Thank's for your time.

I am medically disabled, and am able to squeak by on regular monthly expenses. But I am living in a 'fixer-upper' that has not been fixed.

1/2 of my flooring is ripped up due to mold. I can't replace it, so cracked concrete is what I have to walk on. The rest of the carpet is disgusting from what the prior owners did to it.

I cannot move, as my mortgage is really low.

It costs 10K to renovate one of these 30+ year old units (condo) (800 sq. feet) not including things like the A/C (also needs replacing) and the stove.

In the 6 years I have lived here I have managed to save enough to replace the water heater when it rusted out, and the disposal for the same reason.

Otherwise, if this were a rental unit and I had a landlord, he'd be a 'slum lord' as these are not proper living conditions for me and my precious dog.

I know it might sound like i am being greedy, but i'm desperate for a new computer, my current computer is a laptop thats 6 years old and has to be plugged in all the time, the screen is cracked at the top and the keyboard is missing a few numbers.

What i'm asking for is the money to replace or repair my laptop so i can continue my studies, i live on my own working part time and i am struggling to afford this on my own what with tuition, rent and all my bills.

My parents can't help me as my farther passed away 3 years ago and my mom was recently laid off and has her own bills to take care of and i don't want to burden her with my problems.

Anyone who can help i would be soo grateful, and i promise i'll be coming back to this site to pay the favor forward as soon as i am earning some money.

I had trouble picking a category, because my plea falls into multiple ones. Help pay bills, save our home, family crisis, money for travel... My husband and I live and work in RV parks full time. Our home is a 1964 Airstream travel trailer. In December, in a fit of horrendous lack-of-judgement, I accepted a job in the north-east. We had weathered semi-cold winters before, and I thought that with a little preparation we would be ok. We weren't. It got so cold and the snow got so deep we finally had to leave for a warmer location. Unfortunately our trailer, our home, was so deep in snow we couldn't get it out, we had to leave it behind.

To make matters worse, we drained our accounts with the driving back and forth. We are currently living in a camper van in SC. We have food, and just started a part-time job, so we are mostly ok, but the grim reality is: we are facing over $1000 in fuel alone just to go retrieve our home, plus a nearly $300 electric bill we left behind that we need to pay before we can pick it up, plus whatever cold damage may have been done because everything froze before we could winterize properly. (frozen and cracked water lines, faucets, and maybe even the brand new hot water tank are all possibilities). If we don't pick it up soon, there will also be a $60 a month storage fee tacked on top of everything else. PLUS we borrowed around $1000 from family that needs to be repaid.

We could save up enough, but it would take most of the summer, spent living in the van, and then we would be completely tapped out again come fall/winter. It's been very depressing. Any little bit would really help.

I need some remodeling work done. Been wholes around windows for over 11 years. Some windows cracked some not here any more. The windows that are not cracked are just single very thin and ice up in winter. My husband keeps saying going to fix. I give up on him. Any money I get he will not have access to. I just would like to live comfortable. Not fancy. Be nice to be warm. Not shivering and shaking all winter. I just do not know what to do any more. Had fire in Feb so more work needs done to house than original. Electrical fire. Need to wire house. I have an extenion cord ran over from garage for computer so I can work. Still owe fire department 2000.00 for putting fire out. I would go live almost anywhere if just me. I have dogs. Most people say to get rid of them. I love my dogs they are like my kids. I just want to have more bearable situation to live in. I don't clean the house and do what I should any more. I just need to get motivated. I do work from home and the company routes calls to me. I don't make as much as husband but I also an not spending money on gas or even makeup or clothes that would need if in the office. I don't even care to leave house any more but if an emergcy I would like my truck to run and have dl. Thanks
