I saved up enough money for school but now it turns out I don't have money for living expenses. I get a work permit in November 2012, but by then I won't have any money for next year. The expenses for each of the two years is $17,000, and I saved up just for one year. I need help in making ends meet. I have been looking for work on campus and it's not working out since I was told to wait until August and September for cleaning jobs and restaurant jobs at the school. All the tutoring jobs I have applied for on campus have not materialized so far.

If I do not finish this school, it is over for me. I spent many years in the US in school since 2001, and it resulted in nothing because they didn't give me a work permit, and they did not allow me to stay.I got two bachelors degrees from there but since I did not have citizenship or a green card, I had to leave.

If I finish school here in Canada, I will get a three year work permit, and I can finally be useful to myself and my family. I need to pay back money that I owe my uncle for paying for my primary and secondary education back home in the third world. I need to educate, or at least pay for my niece and nephew who are orphaned to go to college. I need to take care of my sick mother, I have been unable to do that so far because I had to pay for my education in the US out of pocket.

I have other on going problems such as loss of sight in one eye but then that is something to be dealt with when I finally finish school, it is not as urgent as getting the money to pay for school. No matter how badly everything else is going, even with my mom being sick and my being unable to send her money for treatment, school comes first even though ideally it should not be that way.

I have been involved in community service for many years. I worked with DC Habitat for Humanity on a house construction project. I also worked with refugees from 2010 to 2011 before I had to leave the US, I was tutoring English through International Rescue Committee. I am currently working with the Food Bank where I am, and over summer since I will have no on campus jobs, I plan on getting more volunteer jobs so I can give back to the community. Canada has given me so much, a chance at self improvement, so it's only natural that I want to say thank you to this great country.

I am not scared of working, infact when I was in the US I worked full time while going to school full time. I do not want to violate the student visa here in Canada because Canada is a kind country for immigrants and they will definitely give me the work permit come November 2012, as long as I do not work illegally before then.

I am planning to move out of my homestay right now and rent with schoolmates in order to minimize my expenses. I do not usually even eat things like meat, milk, eggs, all of which I do not like or I am allergic to. So I do know how to save money. I learned to live on very little while in the US so I need money to pay for my education so that I can maintain my student visa.

Please help, my family cannot afford to pay for my education, I do not have citizenship from a developed country to qualify for financial aid or scholarships, the scholarships from back home are mostly for those doing masters degrees and PhDs, I'm doing an associates degree right now. They also insist that you must not have already left the country before they give you the scholarship. I will be applying for scholarships in the schoool, and also some bursary from my government which might be only $500, and that is only if I can get someone back home to bribe someone in the Ministry of Education to get that bursary.

I have tried all ways to improve my life for many years, and this time education truly will be a key to improving my life. I am not a stranger to subjecting myself to medical experiments in order to earn more money to pay for school. I need help this time around, this is my last try at improving my future. Going back home will be a disaster since I do not have tall relatives (people with influence) to get me jobs. What's the point of my adding myself to the millions who are dependent on others for help?

Any amount which can be sent to my Paypal account will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I am 19 years old, getting kicked out of my parents house. They want nothing to do with me. I have been trying to get a job for over 2 years now but I have health problems Id rather not speak of. SSI is something that could be an option but I dont want to live off of the system. I have a lot of problems and a lot of depression and stress. Ive dealt with things all my life that I should not have. Ive see things I shouldnt, and I am really messed up. I always wanted to be the one to help people and I am not the kind of person to ask for help, It hurts that I have to. My friend is 16, and she is getting kicked out too. Her mom doesnt want her, and she told me she is signing custody of her over to me. We have been going to different houses every week to stay.. Sometimes with people we really dont know. Were worried, and scared and we really need someones help. We need help! We want money for a house, someone is willing to sell their house to us for 400 a month, not including utilites. Plus the down payment. We also need money for food and other supplies or clothing we may need. This wouldnt be a forever thing. Just until we can get on our feet and do it on our own. Please.. we would apprieciate it. We really need the help. Someone help us before its to late.

Hi

I am training to be a Solicitor in the Uk and I have completed my Law degree and dealt with some case's for people who are unable to afford a Soilictor (And won).
To become a Solicitor I need to do my LPC(Legal Practice Certificate)which is £10'000. I am a single parent, and I've worked to get and pay for my degree, but can't afford the fees for the LPC. Please if you feel you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks for reading this far.

I am asking for a minute of your time to please read and consider this. I live at home with my mother, my step father suffered a stroke in 2009, leaving him bedridden and with a feeding tube. His left side was completely paralyzed and he requires 24/7 assistance. My mother no longer is able to work because he requires to be feed every three hours though a feeding tube. The only income being brought to the household is his retirement check and what I bring in, which isn't a lot with a part time job and school. We have a lot of expenses which include, his meds, diapers, monthly hospital bed rental, and the specially formulated milk that is ordered monthly. Also, he does not get disability...And on top of that there is food, water and electricity bills, etc. It is a very hard time in our life and it would be so greatly appreciated if ANY amount of money was donated to help us out. I'm sure some of you can relate, maybe you've dealt with a sick family member, or through a tough financial crisis. I can not tell you how stressful it is for me, I am a young girl with so much responsibility. And I believe it only builds character and I will be hanging in there.
--If there is anyone out there with a kind and open heart, please, help me out.

Thank you for your time!

Started investing last year and the market took a downturn, i'm sure everyone knows about that, but i started with 200,000$ and i have about 15k left. Its terrible and i have never dealt with this much shame or embarrassment in my life. it sucks. I honestly dont know what to do, and i dont have the heart to tell my family. I'm out of options. Its alot i know but i need to come up with atleast $160,000. If you'd like to talk to me about it i'm more than glad

Hello, my name is kimberly and i dont know where else to turn so i am posting on this website. I am a survivor of the joplin may 22nd tornado. I was working at walmart when we got a code black and we all went to the back of the store. We were all joking around not really thinking much about it. We never thought walmart would get hit. My brother called me and told me that there was a tornado in joplin and that it was big and not to panic. I still didnt think walmart could get taken down, we were in a busy populated area in the middle of the city. The power went off and i told my brother i had to get off the phone. It got pretty loud and sumone yelled that it was here. I looked up and seen the roof getting ripped off. Everyone then screamed and we got down on our knees and prayed. All i could do is pray to see my little boys again and my husband and the rest of my family. The winds were so fast and i was getting hit with all sorts of things and something was on my back and was very heavy and something hit me in the head. It got quiet and people thought it was over and i was yelling at everyone to stay down for a little while to ensure it was over. After about 5 minutes we got hit with the end of the tornado and was just holding on to whatever i could and telling everyone that i loved them, even if i didnt know them. We were very crammed together as some people were on top of each and there was zero moving room and we were getting heavily rained on and hailed on. I found a small hole to put my hand through so that hopefully someone would see it and help us out. After about 30 min sumone was able to help get me out and i started helping others get out as there were many injured and many children. I started ripping open blankets to give to people because we were all soaked, filthy and freezing. Once i finally got out of the store and to the parking lot, i was in shock. Everyones cars were on top of each other and crushed. And i looked around and everything was flattened for miles. I dont know how any of us survived because walmart was totaled where we were. I have dealt with alot of anxiety since then and am dreading spring this year. I would really like to raise money for a shelter to have peace of mind and to ensure my kids safety. I never want my familys safety. Going through this tornado has made me realize how important things are in life and to have fun with my family and to appreciate life. I am going back to school andd my car just broke down and we think its the cadillac converter which i cant afford. I also want to help my dad out. He is disabled and raising my 3 teenage brothers. He is hurting financially as well and i love to help him when i can. I have a new found look on life now and love my kids so much and im so happy i was able to go home to them. There were many people that didnt make it that day and that easily could have been me. There are many heros from that frightful day. I dont like asking for help but i didnt know where else to go. I appreciate the people that help out people like me. You are wonderful people and god bless. Anything at all would help me out at this time. Thank you for taking time to listen to my story and thank you for donating. You are amazing and cherish those you love because you never know what could happen. Thank you!

Could use your assistance please:

I have owned a wig salon for over 20 years
my main focus is helping ladies, children, and
men deal with the effects of chemotherapy
that causes their hair to fall out. I see
so many people of all age groups that struggle
with the purchase of a wig and some headwear.
Most insurance companies do not pay for a wig
(cranial prosthesis) in medial terms. Most
women feel that losing their hair is almost
as devastating as being diagnosed with cancer.
Most ladies have famalies and small children
that don't understand the changes taking place
to their mother. That is way it is important
for Mom to look as normal as possible.

I carry name brand wigs that look so real
and natural for work or home. The smiles and thanks I receive are heart warming, it just makes you wonder how they will overcome the
hand they were dealt. I already discount the wigs as low as I can but still the really nice wigs are expensive (lace-front,mono-top).

Please help me help others - I would appreciate donations to purchase more wigs and headwear and give them to families that can not afford this necessity while going
through chemotherapy.

My business is very well know in the community
and I work closely with the American Cancer
Society and local Oncologist. Many people have
been through this process and know that a wig
and headwear are so very important through
the journey of cancer treatment.

Regards

The Wig Lady

Hello, I am a young college student who is completely trying to make on my own. It's not entirely by choice. It's just the hand I was dealt in life. I have always paid my rent. I do not owe anything back rent, but that doesn't matter for eviction proceedings to start occurring with my complex. I am short this month's rent. I owe $404.72 for this month as of today. The late fees start at midnight. Because tomorrow is Friday the 6th, the eviction proceedings will probably start then too. I am desperately trying to avoid this. I lost my job back in May, and I have been looking religiously every since. In the meantime, I've been trying to survive off of my financial aid refunds. I'm not due for another refund until around Jan. 20. By then, I would be taken to court. I realize it is late, but I am hoping that you donate to me what you can. I don't have anywhere go or any family that can help me. Thank You in advance, and God bless.

Hello, my name is Jessica. I am not looking for a hand out but a hand up. My mom and I live together and we have dealt with a reduction of income since June. I am trying my best to keep the household going but find I am over my head with bills, just the necessities. I am two months behind on my mortgage which was modified a year and a half ago and is not supposed to be late. All utilities are due and just do not have the money to pay everything. I am having a hard time asking for your help, but have no other option as I have exhausted all my resources. Like I said, I am not looking for a hand out but a hand up and will pay it forward. Any amount you can part with would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone. If you're reading this, thank you. Let me say upfront, I'm not asking specifically for money. I'm just going to spill my guts about this hand I was dealt.

I've had a hard life. My mother passed away when I was 12, and my father passed away at 20. He left me a lot of debt and a house to maintain.

The stress of all this has given me problems. I started having panic attacks and was hospitalized for a cardiac arrhythmia. Recently, I developed optic neuritis. I'm working on getting Medicaid to cover some of my costs but right now I'm in debt about #1000.

There is one blessing in my life, a relative who pays my internet and utilities. He also helps me with food. But that's all he can do. He goes without to provide me with that. Otherwise I'd be homeless, hungry, and who knows where.

So I'm blessed to have the basics in life. But there's so many things that I need that I have to beg other people for. My family is...not so supportive. All I have left are aunts and uncles, all except one on my mom's side. My mom's side of the family pretty much abandoned me when she died. They put me though shame and humiliation when I ask for help.

I want a job, but I live in a very rural area. I've applied s o many places up to an hour away but I don't hear anything back. Recently I applied for some state jobs which I'm hoping might come through.

These are the things I need and things I want, so you know what my intentions are.

Need:
Toilet paper.... :( The way I've been getting it now is to go into public restrooms and putting some in my purse. I feel wrong about this. But what can I say, it's a necessity?

Personal items...I won't go into detail but I'm talking about um, feminine ones. I get the Dollar Store brand kind, but even then it's too much. I've had to go without it which is very hard.

Hygiene items...I stopped using soap and shampoo conditioner. I would love to...I feel dirty honestly. But I can't afford anything. I only use deodorant every few days because the bottle is running low and I'm trying to make it last.

House items...I need dish washing soap. I can't afford paper plates and am just washing dishes with hot water now. Sometimes I cant' clean it all the way through that way, but I just have to forget it. I also need laundry detergent. I'm almost out of a huge bottle that I have made last over a year. It was Sun brand from the dollar store, and I loved it. I'm all about generic.

Gas money...My car is an old SUV, and it takes a fair amount of gas. I try to limit when I drive. But it's a necessity since I live alone and in a rural area. I have to drive to run errands, go see the doctor, go to job interviews. I usually beg for this the most cause this is one of the things I can't do without.

Medication...I'm on two heart medications because of my arrhythmia. It's important I take them. I tried taking them twice per day instead of three, and I had horrible palpitations. So this is kind of my priority. As I'm still uninsured, both medications cost about 12 dollars a month.

Okay those are all things that I feel I need. Now, what I "want".

Clothes...I haven't bought new clothes since 2007. That's when my dad got diagnosed with cancer. My shirts have holes in them, so do my jeans. I got them from Goodwill originally most likely, I like to be frugal. The only person I have is made of linen and has a hole so things fall out of it! I've lost weight and I have had my jeans fall down in public. It's bad. I only have one bra and it's way past it's prime. I would love a little money to buy some basic things. Jeans that fit, some cotton T-shirts, a purse. Maybe even something for job interviews? I think part of the reason I get denied is because I show up in jeans and a T and flip flips. But that's all I have.

Beauty stuff...Okay, this stuff is totally not worth your money, I get it. But I just thought I'd list everything. It sucks being a young woman who can't feel pretty. I'm unwashed, my clothes make me feel like a hobo. I see other girls my age in class (I attend college part time thanks to financial aid) looking and smelling beautiful. I mean...

I just want a hair cut. Recently, I hacked about 6 inches off myself with scissors. It's not pretty. I just want a little powder and some lip gloss to not feel so plain. I just want a spritz of perfume so that there's something beautiful in my senses. I daydream about when I used to wear cute clothes, go to a salon. Wear mascara and paint my names. Ahh...But this is just a dream. I don't expect anyone to help me with things like that.

A new laptop/tablet...The one I have now is really old and really slow. Don't expect anyone to get me one. If it happened, I would probably assume I'm dead and in some sort of heavenly afterlife. Then I might pass out from shock.

So this my friends, is my general beg for help. I'm a 23 year old girl without much family. My basics are covered, but that leaves a lot for someone who is broke. I'm actively searching for employment. I've applied from Dr.'s offices to bars. I'm part time in college, and I'm not sure what I want to study yet.

I don't drink, if I had the money for beer I'd buy TP instead. I don't smoke or do any illegal drugs. I'm not a criminal.

I am not someone who wants to just take money. If you are down on your luck too, please don't send me anything. Put it in savings. Give it to some of these people who are about to lose their homes if you must. They're deserving.

If you're apprehensive about giving money but still want to help, you totally can. A package filled with toilet paper, tampons, shampoo...that would be like Christmas morning to me, I swear.

I'm not sure what I'm going to get out of this. Writing this was therapeutic though. If you're on this site, you're already a nice person. I bet 90 percent of the traffic is people who want something, like me. People who go on here to help someone is probably such a rare thing.

Thanks for reading.

I am in need of a Guardian Angel. I am asking for help. I am in need of financial assistance.
In May 2011, I had a job loss. This was a devastating blow to me, my self-worth, my life was now turned upside down.
So why do I need a Guardian Angel you ask?
Unexpected finances. I have been served with divorce papers, fuel gauge has gone out in my truck, and partial rent for this month of December 2011. I also dealt with vandalism to my truck. In November, I had to go to the doctor for depression because I had an anxiety attack and fell into a depression.
With Christmas around the corner, it is hard to talk to family and telling them what I want or what they want, because I really don’t have the money. Sometimes, I just ignore the phone and work up the courage to speak with them. This Christmas I have no decorations up at home. I tend to avoid the malls, stores, and shopping areas, just so I won’t be remind that it is the Christmas Season.
This is my last resort. Typing this letter and asking help, real help, from people like yourselves that want to lend a helping hand to a person, who is experiencing financial difficulties and really make a difference in someone else’s life. With divorce, job loss, truck problems, rent past due and Christmas around the corner, it has really taken its’ financial stress on me.
I need $3500. $2500 for an Attorney (Retaining fee), $475 for truck repair, and $525 for rent.
As I said before, I need a Guardian Angel right now to help me through this tough time in my life. I am very much appreciative for you taking your time to read this and to help someone like me.
Thank you for being my Guardian Angel this year. Words will not be able to express how I truly feel in saying THANK YOU!

I just don’t know what to do, I am a 23-year-old female. I was mainly raised by my mother (58) she was married for a number of years and is now divorced. We had an excellent relationship up until I was about 11 when we moved from the city to the smallest village in the middle of no where, when I was 16 I moved back to the city to attend college, I was home schooled from the age of 13 so had to do make up courses if I ever wanted to attend university as I never got any schooling qualifications.
Over the years Iv tried to visit as much as I can but with schooling taking up most of my time and due to us living about 9 hours apart, is been difficult.
We are both very similar, which causes a lot of arguments, both equally stubborn. We fight a lot.
She’s dealt with a lot, such as a three-year prosecution agents her, which absolutely broke her, mentally and emotionally, it was a hard time for both of us, my grades suffered a lot and I began to worry about her mental health. Because it went on for so long, a lot of our arguments would be blamed on the stress of the whole situation. I always thought that once it was over, we would get better.
I graduated from university a year ago and it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve been able to visit more frequently. I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to fix our broken relationship,
When ever I visit, it gets to about a week, a week and a half and I just have to leave in fear our relationship would just crumble, this time it’s a little different, I broke up with my boyfriend of a year, who I was living in the city with and decided to get away so about two weeks ago I came to my mums, then within a few day a friend of ours (yes we share friends, we are VERY similar) was raped and beaten up, said friend is very messed up about it and has needed me around, you know just to listen, pretty much just to be here. So I decided to stay longer, when out of the blue my dog died. This dog was my guardian angle and helped to keep me strong when times where hard. Having him leave me was probably the single most heart-breaking moment of my life so far (don’t think I’m just inexperienced with life (my partner (my first-love/childhood sweetheart) of 7 years and I broke up less then two years ago) I know heart-break.
We have argued less this time considering the circumstances, but not for lack of her trying, well that’s how it feels. With everything that’s going on anytime I feel tension in the air I have just said “No, not now, we will not argue” and either left the room or had a time out if we were in the car or something.
She’s very ‘bohemian’ has a very radical way of thinking, outspoken and always on the side of the underdog, I have absolutely no problems with this and I most defiantly love her for exactly who she is. She’s been the best teacher of life, she’s had a hard life, and I feel I am more educated against the world because of the way we can talk about things.
When I’m here I try to put some order to the chaos, you know tide up (its always a mess) it’s a big house and can take ages to clean ever room.
I just broke down, I was cleaning the kitchen, and this isn’t just polish and vacuum. I was removing all the moulding fruit and vegetables from the bowl, when I noticed that she had three bags of potatoes in the fruit bowl. I wrapped them up to put them in the potato draw only to find a draw full of rotting potatoes.
She hoards stuff, I tried to throw away a few disposable Tupperware boxes when she told me she uses them to store things, fair enough. Then I notice a huge stack of them on top of the cabinet, like she hasn’t even considered using those ones.
This all sounds so stupid, I know, but usually when id be strong enough to just brush it off and sort it out, I don’t have that strength rite now, I am so worried for her, I am beginning to feel as though perhaps I should move in with her to be her carer, but we don’t have the sort of relationship that we could live together full time, last time that happened I was 15 and I would hate to live in this area again, I have nothing but bad memories from my childhood here. The people are very closed minded and keep them selves to them selves, my mum loves it here, she grew up in Africa, and says round here reminds her of a happier time. It’s not for me.
And on top of it all, she doesn’t earn very much money (she practically volunteers at a place to help people with special needs) and iv been struggling to find a job for months now, iv started receiving benefits with is £50 per week, but the debt of our dog dyeing is at least £500, and our other dog has to have an operation to have his eye removed this Friday (which is just more £££) all my benefits are going towards that and all the money she can keep aside goes on that as well.
The house is falling down, her ex husband was a builder and they had brought a run down place to do up, he smoked away all his time and practically nothing got done. She’s lived here for over 10 years and only a few weeks ago had windows fitted in the kitchen, before it was just stretched plastic. Most of the walls are just plasterboard, the sink is broken, we have to carry water down from the bathroom to do the washing up.
I don’t know what to do, I worry about her mental well being, I don’t know if she’s developing Alzheimer’s, she had a memory test at the doctors and they said she was fine, but I just don’t see how this can be the case. I worry about her physical state, she has extremely bad arthritis and struggles to move somedays. I worry about her financial situation, but without work there’s nothing more then £50 a week I can do.
I am not keep my job search limited to my degree; I have applied for supermarkets, MacDonald’s, all manor of places all over the country.
I feel more then ridiculous for posting this, but I don’t want to be a burden on the people in my life, and simple don’t know what to do anymore.
Grammar and spelling aren’t a strong point of mine, please don’t judge me on that.

TL;DR - I need to help my mother financially, to fix the crumbling house, to pay vet bills, to fix our relationship and just to survive when life is hard.

I'm 21 years old and an inspiring artist.. unfortunately I haven't been dealt the best hand.. my father passed when I was only 19 which in turn forced me to pay my own way I have no immediate family left who can help me financially.. my grandmother passed this spring due to terminal cancer.. I helped take care of my bed ridden grandmother till her passing...

all I own is a computer, a guitar and a amp that my father bought for me when I was 16. I don't have a mattress and I don't have a car.. I've been sleeping on a couch every night and I never feel well rested and I carpool to get to work. I kill myself everyday at work just to make ends meat all i can afford is the absolute necessities to survive and works been slowing down so I've been having a hard time keeping up on bills and rent..

My father always use to say "I just want better for you" and I know if he saw me now he wouldn't of wanted me to go through this. I'm a good guy with a good heart and all I ask is for the help and the opportunities that has been taken from me at this point any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I understand this is not as serious as people losing their homes, but maybe there is a dog lover out there???

My Sarah ruptured a disc in her neck this morning. Surgery will be up to $5,000. We had a loss in the family yesterday, and to lose Sarah too would be entirely too much for any of us to handle right now. She is family too. We can scrape $1,500, but will be $3,500 short to get her help. That $1,500 gets chipped away every day we have to get her injected with pain killers (She isn't eating because of her meds, which are all injectable because with a neck injury, we can't force them either.)

She is only 2 years old. We got her off the street in January and spent the next 4 months getting her healthy. She just now started coming out of her shell and being a happy dog. It isn't fair what life has dealt her so far. The prognosis after surgery is very good or else we would never attempt it.


IF we can find some benevolent people that can help us, and IF we end up with more than we need, we will gladly return $$ or if you prefer, donate the balance with proof back to you, to a local rescue.

This is a shot in the dark, I know. Thank you for reading.

at the age of 34, finding myself single with a small son to look after , i havent really got many options, hence why i have found this site.

it hasnt been a great 2 years for me,if i am honest losing a partner to cancer, my mother prmematurely at christmas then finding myself redundant in the summer from a job which i truly loved as a teacher.

i have changed so much since i left the forces and became single again, i have become very insular and hardly go out the house, i do everything online now, i feel like i have been dealt a really bad hand of cards and cant face taking risks, i have no money to support my son now and am facing a real struggle, which i have no doubt i can get through, you have to dont you? it has made me face some tough choices, and this ultimately is one, i am not proud to be asking for money to help me, but it is a one of a few options i can see until i can get my head straight and get back into a job that i love, i dont think i am a bad person, just feel really unlucky, i have helped others in the past who have needed help, so hopefully someone will see this who has been helped out in the past and be willing to do the same for me , anything that can be offered would be received gratefully and i will fight through this with help and come out stronger on the other side, and help others from my expereinces. thank you even just for reading this

My name is Carmen and I will start off by adding as many details to this picture.
In 2005 my family won the visa lottery. The U.S Government approves a limited number of visas every year to foreign nationals. My son has a medical condition for about 9 years now, alopecia areata. The capillary hair left his head in chunks, now being completely bold. I refer to him as he due to a full array of bulling issues encountered in the past and perhaps still possible in the future. He is not growing hair on the head anymore. As a child he dealt with it, however the culture shock and the new school environment were adding extra pressure on his already tormented psychic.

He is fine now due to prednisone infiltration by Dr. S., a great practitioner with one of the best Dermatology Clinics in Nevada. It was not easy and I had to start working 2 jobs during the day and the night shift on weekends as a cashier in Century 21 Theaters.

From 2006 to 2007, I applied with over 200 companies, made phone calls day and night trying to get employment. As 2007 started things got better and I was happy with even extremely low paid jobs I held. My son was getting the right treatment and that was everything I cared at the time. I never applied or accepted any help from any governmental sources, used only the temporary work I got.

The financial situation I was in had a deep impact on our morals and still, we kept high hopes about everything that surrounds us. It was a time not too long ago that made me realize that I do need help and can’t push this anymore. My mother passed away overseas and I could not even travel to see her or say my last good bye. My father is alone, old and I really would like to see him if I could. We still carry around 20K in debt, a dragging debt that became unbearable. We both have limited jobs that keep us alive but never allow the dream we chased here. We make all ends meet paycheck to paycheck with less than a hundred left as extra per month.

I am open an honest, I feel exhausted by this ride and hope that if this debt would be paid back everything will be much better for us. I had over 80K to pay back and did with great sacrifices and tears. I refused bankruptcy or debt settlement as I knew that karma will return. I am grateful for the good that happen in my life and I just want to be able to pay back the remainder and move on. Thank you for reading, understanding and all the help send our way. I will make sure to pay it forward in due time. Thank you.

I would like my family to finally get a break. My mother is 80 years old and has had to live week to week along with my sister & myself for our entire lifetime. (We all live together)
My Mom worked until she was 75 and physically could not work anymore (she had factory jobs). My sister has had jobs since she was 17 (she is now 58), and I have worked since I was 18 (I am 51). We are not lazy people; we just can't seem to cut a break. Every time it seems that things were getting better, we would be dealt another setback (companies going out of business, layoffs, medical bills, car accidents etc.)
Now with my Mom's health declining, my sister and I would like to make life more comfortable and secure for her. The problem is neither of us is in good health ourselves. My sister is a diabetic and has many complications (one being diabetic retinopathy) and I had open heart surgery to replace a valve and have a pacemaker put in a year ago. The way things are right now, neither of us can foresee ever being able to retire.
So I am asking if you could find it in the kindness of your heart to help us out so we could build up some savings and feel more financially secure and provide a better place for our Mom to live. She has always been there for us and given us whatever she could when we needed help. Now we want to do the same for her.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I wish all those in need find the help they need.
