Cutting Tags

Due to sun exposure prior to being 18 years old (so my doctors says) has caused me to have some skin cancer spots on my face and arms. I would like to have them treated, but do not have any additional monies at the end of the month to put toward medical expenses. I am hoping to have these treatments sooner than later so I do not have any tissue loss due to cutting out the cancerous areas. My friend lost a portion of his nose and ears due to skin cancer and I am hoping to avoid the same out come.

My husband and I just welcomed our first daughter into the world on April 18'th. I am currently unemployed and he had to take a week off while she was born. His work has also been cutting hours this past month so our pocket was really hurt. We weren't able to pay our rent this month so now the fees are adding up. By the end of the month we will owe 998.00 total with 600.00 added on for next months rent and we don't have it. I am so scared. We have no family to help us and every agency we have turned to either can't help or are out of funds. We already have one broken lease and bad credit so our options on finding a new place to go are slim to none. If anyone could help me keep a roof over my daughter's head I would be forever grateful!!!

Okay so I over heard my mother talking on the phone with the electric company, they told her that if she didn't come up with 422 dollars by Monday, that they was cutting off our power. She didn't want me to know about this because she know's I have a serve anxiety disorder. I listened in as she tried calling her parents, local churches, and friends begging for money, with no luck. My father isn't around anymore and my mom can't find a job. No one will take me, my mom, and my two younger brothers in if our power goes off. We'll have no where to go and be forced to stay in this house. I don't know what we'll do if we don't pay the 422 dollar amount, because if they cut the power off, we'll have to pay 742 to get it cut back on, which we have no way of coming up with that amount. Please, if anyone is reading this, any donation you can make will help us. I'm begging you, please. Please.

I am in terrible financial distress. I am a single mom of 2 teen girls. One of my girls suffers with bi-polar disorder, depression, low self esteem, cutting, and defiance. She is in a juvenile detention facility. I suffer with clinical depression & generalized anxiety. The youngest is bullied at school. I've always sacrificed for my girls. I have a degree. I have a job. I don't make nearly enough to make ends meet with medical bills, legal bills, etc. I am behind on everything: car, electric, phone. I have asked all my family & friends for help. They are
simply unable to. I have tried to get a personal loan and have been denied. I have had no choice but to get payday loans, which I know are horrible, but it's the only option I had. My hope & wish is that there are good, kind, generous souls reading this that ARE able
and willing to help. Ideally $3000 would get me out of
this hole. Any amount is a blessing. If you find it in your
heart to help me help my girls & myself we would be so grateful. God bless you all.

Sometime ago, my grandparents, Anthony and Mercedes passed away within 2 years with my grandpa being first, but before that came about, my grandparents dying wish, was that after they passed, that the money they had saved up would be split between me, my uncles, aunts, father, mother and sister. So my uncles and aunts promised my grandparents they would do that, we all agreed.

Also, my grandma wanted a big funeral with everyone she knew to be there. But after she passed, my uncles just disappeared, and my aunt Gloria robbed my grandma out of her own funeral, she only invited 6 people out of 50, stole all the money that was supposed to be for the funeral and split between us all, which totaled up to a little over $100,000, and she took it all for herself and her husband, moved to Nevada, and pretended like my mom, dad, sister and me didn't even exist, worst then that, is that she never apologized, my uncle Dave did nothing, and either did any of my cousins.

They promised to fulfill my grandparents dying wish, and I believed them, my grandparents believe them, and in the end, they stole from their own parents, my grandparents. I begged my aunt for an answer on why she did what she did, and she never came clean, she never once admitted she was wrong, and worst then that, she ignored me, and my mom, dad and sister. It's just the four of us, and we're financially struggling worst then ever before, because we were betrayed. This has effected my sister the most, because her depression has been getting worst, and because of it, she has tried to kill herself a few times because of how things turned out, but she didn't, although I couldn't stop her from cutting herself.

I am currently the only healthy person in my family right now. My mom is disabled and has cerebral palsy, my father is ex-military who is also disabled, and just recently, he was hit by a car and can no longer work, and my sister has asthma. I'm 25 years old and currently unemployed, despite the fact I went to college, I can't find a job anywhere. My mom too, went to college, earned her degree, and she can't find a job either. I worked for a several years, but was let go because business was slow. Since then, I've been selling my stuff left and right just to get through and to help my family, but it's not enough.

If there is anyone out there that can help me and my family, I would be eternally grateful and thankful to you, and to the good Lord for this blessing. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and God bless you.

Hi, I have six pay day loans out and now i just can't seem to get rid of them and they are eating my whole paycheck. Unfortunately, i kept taking them out to pay my rent and the high interest just continued to eat me alive. Now I can't make my rent. My bank account is overdrawn and I'm in big trouble. My car is cutting off on me and I can't repair it. I really need help. Any help. I am a single mom with one kid who got a little behind and now it;s a snowball effect. Anything you can spare I will use. Thank you so much.

I'm a college student from Portugal seeking help so I can stay in college. For the past two years, despite working, having my parents do two jobs and having student loans a lot of debt has kept rising. I currently have overdue bills, tuition and rent. Despite trying hard to try and save as much as I can cutting back on some things I still reached a point of no return. In the next two or three months the debt will be too high and going for too long and I will have to cancel my college registration and start paying the student loans, witch in my current situation and with the debt that I have I won't be able too. I do not need a lot of money to get things going. With 3000$-3500$ I would be able to pay my overdue bills and tuition, pay the rent and ease the pressure my parents are having to help me. With this amount the 450$ I earn each month would be enough to pay for the monthly bills, rent and food. And I would be able to save up until next year's tuition.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you

to whom this may concern..i'm a female and i love cutting mens hair..barber school costs $5,000. that i can't afford. i cut hair like a master barber already. i'm meant for this. who ever reads this,you can give the money to the school yourself. this is not a scheme to get money. who ever decide to,i can show picture's of my work and even cut a head right in front of you. this is my passion. i feel bad that i finally know what i want to do with my life and i'm 31. what's eeven worse is i had 10,000 at one time, when i was 21. i was young and dumb. i so learned to never waist a dollar.lol.but so serious. cause now i'm here asking for 5grand and had 10grand at one time. i didn't know then what i wanted to do with my life. the older i got,the more it sanked in that time is ticking. i got interested in hair cutting when i cut my long hair off,and i had to keep up the look. i love the crisp clean look,with a sexy design. i have the patience and the eye for perfection..thank you...

The recent suicide of my father in January has left my mom and I with over $11,000 worth of debt and we NEED HELP! I don't know how else I can put it, we need help, we're both working but it's not cutting the costs. Anything will be a huge help! thank you!!!

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.

I'm an ex-professional student in need of desperate financial help. A recent December graduate, I am currently looking for work and have done an excellent job managing my saved money since losing my job in October. Thinking I would have a job by now, I have been working small freelance jobs but it isn't cutting it. I am now out of money and have credit card, student loans, bills, and rent to pay. I also need to feed myself and be able to have enough money to pay for expenses in my job search. I saw asking for help as a sign of weakness, but came to the realization that I need help to raise some money in order to stay alive until I find that dream job. Please, I ask for your donations so that I can get back on my feet and stop having to stress about how I am going to pay my rent, when I need to be tying down a job in my competitive field. I thank you for your time, and I am forever grateful for your help. God Bless.

My husband and I finally realized our dream of owning our own home in august of last year. We were budgeting and doing good, living within our means. Then I found out I was pregnant again after suffering from 3 losses. It was unexpected as we were finally at terms with only having two kids, it took us a long time to feel ok with it. Now this pregnancy has been rough, and our medical bills are already in the thousands. Our insurance isn't helping much. Also working 40 hours a week has become a memory since Xmas ended, we both work in retail and they've been cutting us left and right. So now here we are we made our house payment and the other essentials that our kids can't live without(heat and water) and we are done until payday two weeks away. We don't have enough to pay our medical bills that are due this month, or the overdue ones from January. We feel like we are sinking fast and to top it all off I have to take blood thinners for this pregnancy and that's $150-200 a month extra. We just want this little guy to make it, and we are pretty desperate right now. Please help?

In July 2007 my husband was a passenger in a co-workers car; the co-worker turned left in front of a pickup and the car was T-boned directly on his side. The co-workers car was an older model with no airbags; the doctor said that if he hadn’t put his arm & hand up to shield his face than it would have been fatal. The subsequent and enduring “care” he has received via workers compensation (WC), for the grave injuries he sustained, has been appalling at best. This is just my personal opinion, based solely on our experiences since the accident, but I have concluded that workers compensation (that was put in place to protect the workers), is nothing less than an unethical, disingenuous corrupt system. They end up sending you to a doctor of there choosing and these doctors (who have "gone over to the dark side")cater to the insurance companies by writing lengthy reports downplaying any injuries (goal of saving insurance company money with zero regard for the patients well being) in exchange for more patients sent to them and guaranteed, probably higher than usual, reimbursements. All too often it seems like WC caters to those who abuse the system and discriminate against those who really are in need. The “timely” medical care my husband has actually been able to procure through this government supported system is a travesty leaving him with irreparable spinal damage and a life of pain to look forward to. The malevolent truth is, had this system acted in a timely fashion, equivalent to the expedient care that ANYONE else not on WC would receive, then something could have been done to improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, as it stands, due to the guileful delay tactics used by WC, it is too late to do much of anything to repair the injuries causing him pain. Clearly supported medically necessary needs have either gone unapproved or purposely neglected for months all the while he continues to suffer with intractable pain. It is just beyond my comprehension as to how these people can feel no remorse for leaving another human being in such agony. Due to WC neglecting to approve certain items we have had to outlay a significant amount of our funds for medically necessary items\services to help him do tasks that he could previously do unassisted.
Today he suffers unrelenting pain as a result of permanent whiplash, 8 herniated discs, and unacknowledged(despite films clearly showing injuries) unaddressed broken tailbone, ribs and pelvis. Nerve damage from the spinal injury has resulted in numbness in his extremities, frequent weakening of his legs and embarrassing incontinence among numerous other concerns - had these been addressed in a timely manner (much like they would have been if not WC injury) his suffering could have been decreased significantly thereby improving his quality of life. The most serious injury he suffered was the hip break (acetabuler break) the worse break possible - it was broken in four places. As alluded to previously, an injury this severe should have been stabilized by surgery - allowing it to heal properly and not leave him suffering in chronic pain. WC puts such demands on providers to cut corners in order to save money that, in my husbands case, his doctor decided to do absolutely nothing but send him home instructing him to stay in a wheelchair 100 % of the time for several months. This doctor did not follow up with an exam or x-rays to make sure everything had healed properly. When my husband tried to explain to him the degree of pain he was still in the Dr said hmmm that shouldn’t be and then said “I can’t do anything else for you…”. This Dr. was so engrossed with saving WC some money that he disregarded his patients plea for help- how dispassionate and cold. The way this physician treated my husband goes against almost every part of the hippocratic oath which he swore to uphold upon graduation.
After being in pain for years, with no help from WC when it came to pinpointing its primary source, we paid out of pocket for a film that revealed his pelvis had been broken in the accident. This was never discovered previously by the orthopedist, again, due to cutting corners to save WC money they didn't take the necessary films to do a thorough job. We have a hearing with WC before a judge in March to request approval of a doctor who can address his broken tailbone - regardless of the fact that he can hardly sit without being in excruciating pain WC has denied him access to a doctor to treat it.
Immediately after the accident WC paid for home care for my husband and I was his caretaker when they were not here. Once they stopped providing this in home care I had to take over caring for him in addition to taking care of our then one year old daughter. I soon realized that I could not work and take care of both of them so I had to leave my job to stay home. As a result of my loss of income we have used up every penny of savings and 401 K, that we worked so hard to earn. We had to purchase anything medically necessary for Randall that WC was denying or losing track of. In addition to all this bad news, he has had to go out on disability (10/10) due to the deterioration of his condition and as a result our income has been cut substantially. This leaves us struggling to survive with no savings and significant decrease in income. I am the primary caregiver of both my husband and 5 year old daughter and all I able to contribute financially is what I can find the time to sell on eBay and needless to say we are coming up short.
All of our credit cards have been turned over to collections and our house note is in default and I am terrified. My heart breaks for my only child my daughter who is just 5 years old - I want her to remember more than this devastating situation about her dad and what undeserved hard times we are facing. You can ask anyone who knows my husband and they will all say the same that he is one of the kindest, caring, and conscientious people they know. I know that he doesn’t deserve the heartache he is having to endure. He has worked hard his entire life, since the age of 15, up until he could no longer because of his injuries; and I know that prior to this accident he had saved and saved and was looking so forward to retiring and having fun times as a family. He hasn’t lost sight of those dreams but the money he had saved to fund them is all gone. Despite everything somehow he still maintains a positive outlook on life which makes him a much stronger person than I.
We all have faith that God will see us through this one way or the other but some days it is just so hard to maintain a positive outlook. We would be truly grateful for any help - do only as your heart leads you to do!
God Bless

I do know this isn't conventional a normal post, however I ask you please to give me chance.

The economy sucks, don't we all agree?

Well it's hurt me badly as of recent months. However, I have finally some decent income coming next week. Utility companies do not want to listen to me when I tell them oh I have money coming next week, please, don't shut off my service. Since I am a small business owner I cannot get a payday loan or any type of assistance, I have tried. I have asked friends, neighbors and family to borrow the $ but even begging them has not got me a thin dime.

I need only five hundred dollars, yes, that's a rounded number for simplicity sake; I would love to get a gallon of milk, eggs and some protein in my refrigerator since I tired of looking at my pathetically empty refrigerator and freezer.

I can repay these funds within a week and am completely willing to pay a substancial amount of interest / fees for your trouble and willingness to help me. I do have some collateral , we could discuss. I need the $ before 5pm today, which is cutting it close, I know. Also I would prefer if someone could just Paypal the funds to me (since my gas tank is empty and the rather small time window).

Please help if you can, you will not be disappointed.

Our life has been amazing together, nothing short of a fairytale. We met and began building our life together three years ago and were married this past August. My wife accepted a new position with slightly lower pay an extra hour away from my job and college classes, but we moved because her new boss assured us she'd have more flexibility and opportunity for advancement in the new position. Here it is four months later and everything my wife's new boss told us has been a lie, she guaranteed 32 hours a week, and even before cutting my wife down to "only when needed" less than 16 hours a week she was really only getting about 25 hours a week. The increased cost of commute meant my weekend job was only netting me 20 dollars a day for 6 hours work and a two and a half hour commute, so I had to lose that, and as the money dwindled I had to drop out of college because I couldn't afford both food and gas. I've been looking for work for three months, with a few interviews, but no luck, and now we just have to move away anyways. We were tempted out here with the promise of possible advancement in my wife's future and a deal to rent some of her boss's property with all utilities included, what we got was our savings decimated and had to cover all of the costs of our utilities. We're broke, we owe more in heating oil than we have in the bank, my wife's unemployment doesn't even cover our rent, we're at least 2 hours from the nearest town we have any attachment to or family in, we can't afford the uhaul to get out of the economic black hole of a town we've moved to, let alone the money to rent a new apartment. We have no jobs, I lost a semester's worth of tuition and work, with no prospect on being able to return to my degree anytime soon. To be blunt, we are desperate, if we sell everything we own we could only hope to recoup at most 3000 dollars, and that includes the car and the computer. We don't know what else to do except ask for help.

Hello all,

I'm a 21 year old college student with a 3.4 gpa. I'm a art edu major, and things are turning around for the worst. My parents are cutting me off, and i need help with my rent for the spring semester. I really hope you find it in your heart to help me out. I feel like right now it's not my time right now, I'm out helping overs, volunteering my time at the boys and girls club, only not to have help myself. God bless and thank you.

I don't want to post a huge sob story here, as you can read those time and time again I'm sure. The short of my situation is my partner of 6 years has up and left leaving me with two children, a pile of debt and bills to pay. I have managed to keep our lives afloat for the past 6 months by downgrading to a small apartment, changing a lot of bills to pay as you go, cutting way back on luxuries and Christmas was definately a small affair this year...but still I don't see the end in sight. The scumbag has left me with £17000 of debt, I suppose it was my own fault as I allowed him to control our finances no questions asked. The only thing he left behind was a car bought with a loan in my name, which I have now sold unfortunately the price I got for the car wasn't what he paid for it, but that's how the world works I suppose. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I struggle monthly to pay my bills and just generally feed my children well. I am in the process of taking legal action against the monster that has left me like this, but finding him is apparently proving difficult. Even advice on how to handle this situation wouldn't go amiss with me. Thank you all for looking.

Proud Grandma asking for temporary help with getting caught up on unexpected bills. I was presented with the situation of my bipolar daughter and son in law who was using drugs losing custody of their children. This seems common but I never expected it to happen to me. I used to work in the corporate world and had settled to a quiet life now working for a non-profit (more rewarding work) working with special needs adults. I picked the children up from another state in November and then was faced with cutting back on my hours so I can be home with the kids. This has really put me in the hole. I would never have allowed my grandchildren to go into foster care and will do whatever it takes. This area is very poor where I now live and is a simple life which is a wonderful environment for the children. I have been sick a lot since picking them up which has added to more loss of work/pay and then I hit a deer the other night on my way home from work and this has now messed my vehicle up. Just need some help right now. Don't like asking....but! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good Evening, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here's the situation We're in. Normally I wouldn't ask for help, but thanks to the Dear President, and our "wonderful" congress, cutting Veterans Administration Benefits, my pay has been cut to the point I don't know how I'm going to be able to support myself, or my family with our bills for the next two months. I am a full time student, ONE semester away from Graduating with my A.A.S. in Network Administration, and now, thanks to the changes to our Veterans Benefits, our pay for going to school full time will be significantly reduced for the next two months. Meanwhile my rent, power bill, phone bill, and Internet bill doesn't decrease. Once the 6th. Arrives, I face eviction, and I'm currently facing my phone and power getting shut off at any moment. Like I said, normally as a Veteran, I wouldn't ask for assistance, but there seems to be a lack of support from our "treasured" government, and with the economic status, churches, and other such places are running short on funds assisting the local communities. I have no other options, and don't know where to turn. Any bit of support will be HIGHLY appreciated from myself and my family.
