Tired of living in this old motorhome!!
Posted by msmith080 on 2012-04-02 18:58:30
I used to be the Assistant Manager at Little Caesar's here in town, but the owner is selfish, sexist, and overall a terrible person to be acquainted with. He fired me because I posted a sign asking people to call ahead for LARGE pizza orders (I.E. 3 or more pizzas) because Pizza Hut just opened up across the street and business sky-rocketed. It was impossible to keep up with the sales because they only allowed me to work with 1 other person during the busiest part of the day. I needed at least 2 more people just to stay ahead of the demand.
After the incident at LC, I applied for and got a job at a local restaurant. However, the management there has been screwing around with my schedule. Constantly changing it without notifying me. I wouldn't mind normally, but since they only let me work 1 day a week, I never know when the schedule gets changed and I can't even afford gas to get to work on the days that I'm scheduled.
I've exhausted all my options. I've been living in this motor-home for almost 2 years now and it's starting to get to me. If there are any kind souls out there, I could really use some help... My relationship is falling apart with my girlfriend. My boss has been promising to give me more hours since I started working there last year... I still only work 1 day a week though :-(

Disabled Writer/Artist Needs New Computer To Keep Writing And Become Self Sufficient
Posted by AspiringtoGrace on 2012-03-03 10:58:41
Please take a chance, knowing that what you give will have a real effect that will help me to help others!
THANK YOU!
They say these things should be short, but I will take a chance in giving you the whole picture. Thanks for reading!
In 2009, I was made homeless by Hurricane Ida in Virginia. That same year, I became disabled with COPD, sciatica and fibromyalgia. It has been a long, slow process of recovery,pain, poverty,and the accompanying humiliation. I have had to give up my car, my cottage, and my job.
However, thanks to the efforts of very dear friends and some self-made luck I finally have a stable living situation, and the strength to embark on a new career as a writer and self-publisher of Spiritual and New Age materials.
Writing is where I find my greatest joy, (followed closely by my painting) and my experiences have given me rewards of perspective that makes the challenges I still contend with somehow worth it. I'm looking to help others find the inner strength and hope that I found through my own crisis.
You can read some of my writing at my blog:
http://grace-in-search-of-grace.blogspot.com/
My computer, however, is almost 8 years old and between the "pages not responsive" and "Chrome has crashed", system crashes and stalls, etc it routinely takes me up to 3 hours to upload anything to the site. I have very limited energy, and this can take up an entire day.
The the age of the machine means that it is limited in terms of upgrades and networking.
I've learned and done all I can to keep it running this long, but now I need a new one if I am going to be able to do the kind of heavy-duty publishing and posting to make it in this field and become self-sufficient.
I am looking for $5,000+ to cover the following costs:
*computer
*printer/scanner/fax
*paper
*toner and ink
*website hosting for a year
*Domain Registration
*Non-profit status registration
*Dedicated phone line
*Art supplies for graphic design
*Photoshop software
*Print-on-demand membership for 1 year
Anything is greatly appreciated!
I will do my utmost to pay it forward to those who are also in need.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Help needing to move closer to my 5 yr Son!
Posted by jbailey3160 on 2012-01-30 01:58:19
I had to move back with my parents after having been divorced from my wife of 12 years. ItâÂÂs really been hard on me because I gave up our car and house to my ex-wife and son who will be five Dec 31th. I figured it would be easier for me to start over because it was just me. My ex had full custody and wanted to make sure they both had a roof over their head and a car to meet her career and child care needs. The saddest and hardest part for me was that I could not afford to live on my own and keep my truck and the house for my ex to live in. I ended doing the right thing and surrendered my truck and moved back home with my parents.
I now been living in Gothenburg, Ne for over 2 years with my parents and IâÂÂm really having a hard time keeping a good job without getting laid off or your hours cut due to not enough demand for what we were making or services we provided. I live in a town of 3,500 so the jobs are slim and few by far between. I owe my parents a lot for letting me stay with them but IâÂÂm a grown man now and need to get out on my own.
ItâÂÂs really been discouraging because IâÂÂve been trying to get things together and money saved up so that I can be able to move back to South Carolina to be closer to my son. I have not seen him in over a year. I feel like the worst father in the world! There is no other place I rather be then closer to him or be able to find a job that can pay me a decent wage that would allow me to afford to fly out and see him as much as possible.
The bottom line is that since there are no jobs here I would like to relocate back to South Carolina and get back into my work field as Cable TV/ Collections/ Disconnections. Again thanks for reading my post even though how shameful I feel about it.
Thanks,

family problems and bills

Money would help, Services would be best.
Posted by financeagony on 2011-12-21 02:58:31
Financial support would be deeply appreciated, but ultimately I seek the opportunity to learn the skills to live a self-sufficient life. I am a college educated single mother of a vivacious boy in 3rd grade. More than ever he deserves a healthy mom who can provide all of his basic needs.
My greatest desires include: intensive therapy, financial / budgeting counseling, and physical therapy.
Even though I have had some productive years, I continue to struggle with bouts of debilitating depression. After these episodes it has become increasingly difficult to rebuild my life. I am enrolled in the state run therapeutic program, but because of high demand meetings are bi-weekly at best.
I admittedly have done an atrocious job at managing my finances. Over the years I have attempted several different budgeting styles unsuccessfully, I am certain that much of my failure is due to simply not understanding how to budget effectively.
Finally, following an accident in 2008 I have continued to suffer chronic pain. I am confident that physical therapy would resolve much of the pain. Again financial limitations inhibit me from seeking treatment.
At this time I have been out of work for 1 year, which is the longest I have been unemployed since being of working age. At present I am enrolled in a Work Force program. Although my doctors have not cleared me for work, I continue to utilize what the program offers to the best of my ability.
I am doing my best to make the most of the help that is available to me, but my resources and spirit are dwindling.
I am open to any advice, and would be most grateful to anyone who would be willing to donate their time to help me reach my goals.

Save a Home for Christmas
Posted by Mimzy on 2011-12-14 15:58:18
These are hard times. We know it cause we deal with it personally on a daily basis. We all do the best we can. With help from family & friends, we can get through these times.
But sometimes, we need to reach out for help. Unfortunately those organizations and charities can't handle the high demand for help - especially now when it's so close to Christmas.
I don't have much, but I can't stand by and do nothing. If there's a way to help, I will do all I can. But sometimes I can't do it alone. Even a miracle needs a little help sometimes.
I've posted information on my home page. I've posted a note on my facebook. Now I'm here, looking for some help for a good friend. Her home is in foreclosure. If they don't get the $5k to the lawyer, they'll be homeless after Christmas. I can't see how these people can be so cold.
So I'm trying to raise the money, plus a bit extra to help with bills & to pay the fees here. All I get is SSI each month, it's not much so I've been doing all I can to get help from family & friends to raise the money. Everyone is doing their best to help out.
But I know we can't succeed alone. I put up a link to PayPal & listed my PayPal email on my homepage. Why? Cause even Paypal charges fees on donations.
I want every cent raised to go to this family. So I'm doing my best to make it happen.
But I have to get the word out every way that I can, so that is why I'm here. To get out the word & hopefully help my friend and her family keep their home.

Please Help A Small Family
Posted by Elfay on 2011-09-06 12:58:56
My husband has cancer and has a difficult time with every day living. And does not qualify for disability nor does our son qualify for Social Security. We don't qualify for TANF either only foodstamps.
We are flat broke, the last bit of our money, which was going to go for the rent and utilities was stolen.
If anyone could help us we would appreciate it. We both want to work but can't find work.
Please help us before we are out in the street. How do you tell a child who has Aspergers Syndrome he doesn't have a home any longer? It just breaks my heart this is our last few days here unless we get help with our rent and utilities.
We tried all the charities and churches, they are all out of funds right now.
Thank you and God Bless.
Update: we haven't gotten any donations or anything. We are packing up the car and leaving tomorrow. Our small family will be split up. I will go into a shelter and my son & husband will go to FL to stay temporarily with his mother. She only has room for 2 other people.
I added my paypal account hoping someone will take pity on us.
Thank you and God Bless.
Another sad update: my husband and son drove 600 miles to FL on Thursday and it was dreadful, the car was packed to the max. We have a small car it it was totally over loaded. What else was he to do? Our son has Aspergers, the only way he can survive a crisis such as this is is some sense of normalcy, meaning he needs his things, things that mean a lot to him even if they seem trivial to use they are not to him. So we loaded up the car with books, games, dvds, what have you.
Well, they get to my husband's mother's house in South FLA and instead of a loving welcome they get the worst from her. She is all over my husband and calling him all kinds of terrible things. She's down on her grandson, all over him. These 2 came 600 miles away and this is the welcome they got. Needless to say they are leaving FLA and returning to GA. Out of shear desperation. We will have to go into a shelter. We have no where to go. Noone has donated a dime to us. Just advice. Advice is nice but it doesn't pay the rent or utilities.
Does anyone even read these posts besides us who post them? I would love to hear from success stories that came from here. It would be a huge confidence boost. Rescent success stories within the last 6 months to a year.
My faith in God has increased within me, however my faith in humanity is failing.
We are no different than most of those also posting on here. Our needs are no more in demand. We all have a common bound, we are desperatly trying to keep our families together, through this crisis that seems to keep getting worse.
My cell phone is a pay-as-you-go, I only pay 25.00 a month for 300 mins, unlimited texting & net usage. 25.00 is an awesome deal if you have 25.00. I don't have it. So now I can't even talk with my husband to find out when he's coming to ATL (my service will be over September 7) or even post on here or check my paypal if some kind soul donated anything. We didn't really have it last month but we figured it was worth it, especially since we haven't had a pc for years. This is our only link to the internet - this and the library.
Some would say a cell phone is a luxury, not if you don't have a landline, we haven't had a landline in 2 years. Its become an absolute nessisity.
We don't smoke or drink, take illegal drugs or spend money on frivilous things. My clothes are beging to get shabby as are my shoes.
If anyone can donate a cell phone card of 25.00 it would be most welcome. I feel terrible asking but its my only link to my family in FL. Without it I have no phone. Forget the net I can live without it but not to be able to call my husband is terrible. its scary not having a phone.
My husband has a Safelink cell phone - a Welfare pay-as-you-go they only allow one per house hold. He gets a set amount of mins for free a month, you can chose to roll over your mins too on some of their plans. So mine is the only paid cell phone.
Thank you for reading and God Bless.

Please help me get my business off the ground
Posted by Scentsationalbliss1 on 2011-04-20 15:58:56
After three months of business we have had eight successful parties. However, we are seriously in need of funding to keep up with the demand. We need additional supplies to keep going. The money we have made from the parties has gone back into the business for additional needed supplies. It is a unique idea with a lot of potential but, we don't have the capital to give it a fair start. Our goal is to have a retail location to have ready made products as well as being able to make products on demand. The location would also have a party room. That way we would not have to rent out a space when we do a party. It will also be an alternative for the client if they don't want a home party. We would also rent linens and other party supplies as another means of revenue. At this point we have not been able to receive funding from a traditional source. We are currently looking for an investor, or a blessed individual who can provide a small donation. We are trying to raise $5000.00 to get supplies and a small retail location. Additional information can be provided upon request. Any ammount would be appreaciated. Thank you.
Business startup and workng capital
Posted by greenguard1 on 2011-04-10 02:58:41
I have been a struggling entreprenuer since the early 90's. While I was a law enforcement officer full time.I have owned a cleaning services in nyc for a few years that I lost trying to help others that only cared about themselves. I Lost alot of money and all my cleaning contracts with the applebees restaurants. Then in 2007 I left my cop job to work for myself full time instead. I opened a partnership business as a financial consultant. The economy killed that business. My lenders and investment firms just stopped lending money. So therefore, my clients couldn't get the funds they needed for their projects. Which meant that I couldn't get any commissions from my clients. So that business died. As you can see I have been trying to acheive financial freedom for well over a decade. And I am still determined to do just that. I am now fixing to get into a business that I should have gotten involved with back in the 90's. It's definitely recession proof! In fact the bad economy has set the demand for this type of service in over drive. Heck! The need for this type of service has been in over drive since the 9/11 tragedies. The industry I am talking about is SECURITY!!!. I know I cannot fail with this business! Why?! Because there is a strong demand for it! Especially down here in charlotte nc where I now live. Security covers a broad spectrum in services. I intend to do the obvious. Which is security guard and patrol services. The problem is I have no more money to start my security guard business. I am currently an armed security guard who just got laid off as of 03/31/11. And I can't go back to work until my GUARD CARD from the state comes back. I can no longer work while waiting for it to come in (ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN ACTIVELY WORKING SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER). The bright side is that I have time to set things in motion for my own business. The downside is, I will be living off of $155.00 in unemployment benefits. Which I won't receive my first payment for another two weeks. Which will not do much since I have a pregnant wife, a 5 year old autistic daughter, a one year old son. And I am also paying child support to my 15 year old son's mom back in nyc. YES I AM FLAT BROKE! If it wasn't for my daughter's SSI benefits our rent wouldn't be paid this month. I really am feeling like less of a man on that fact alone. I want to provide for my family the way a REAL man should. And I know that I can do it again with this security business! But I need money to get it going. I am going to need about $500,000.00. This 500K will afford me the opportunity to buy patrol vehicles, uniforms, office space,supplies, business insurance, equipment and at least 2 salaries for the first year out. I intend to service the neighborhood watch program communities. Since no companies are doing it. I don't know why they aren't but it is a HOT market right now. And with my 13 years of law enforcement experience. As well as an additional 8 years of security experience. I know that I can put together a very effective and well saught after security force. So if there is anyone out there, out of the millions upon millions of people that are online right now, tomorrow, and everyday that wants to help me out. Please donate a simple measley $1.00 bill towads my business venture. If you want to donate more $2.00,$5.00, or even $10.00 or $20.00. Obviously I will NOT turn those donations down. But knowing how hard it is these days for people financially. I know $10.00 to $20.00 just might be just too much. But four quarters, 100 pennies shouldn't be hard at all to donate to some stranger that you don't even know. And I must say that I also have a deep passion to help others. Their are so many good people out there that want to work. But just cannot find a decent paying job. I will be in the position to hire these people that want to pursue a career in the security field. This will be my way of paying back what you do for me. If you want to talk to me personally we can even chat on google chat line. Or email me at: bart.wilson.jr@gmail.com. This is my personal email. My paypal email just so happens to be my future security company's name: blackopsprotectionagency@gmail.com.
Or call me direct: 980.395.7423
Thanking you well in advance for your support.
I have another chance... but desparately need help!!
Posted by pleasehelpme11 on 2011-03-05 14:58:04
It's the same still that I need help with my rent and bills, but I now have a tiny extra chance to make it happen so I don't have to get evicted and ruin my credit and owe MORE than if I had just been able to stay. My 3 day demand notice came on the weekend, so they have to give me 3 business days.
Please someone have mercy on me!!! Help me cover this so I can avoid eviction! At this point because of a ton of fees and stuff they added on, if I am to save this situation, I need $1211... and that's just for the rent part. I could really, really, really use some help with my utilities, etc. too, but the rent is the one at crucial mass right now.
Please, I don't know what else to do. I have been unemployed for a really long time and have just run out of resources. All of February I have been very ill and not able to get out to do even little side jobs. I am so much better now, but will have to focus on getting moved instead of working if I have to get evicted.
Any help is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your consideration and follow-through.
Need Seed Money For Fantastic Opportunity In China
Posted by zachlevy on 2011-02-21 11:58:58
I have a fantastic business opportunity to exclusively market specialized retail items from the USA in China. The Chinese consumer market is very hot and rapidly growing, plus the demand for American consumer goods is exploding.
To complete my business plan to secure start-up capital, I need about $5,000 to cover living and travel expenses for an imperative fact-gathering trip to China. It should take about three months to be ready to secure the start-up funding.
I am more than willing to pay back this seed money with a very generous return and even offer a first right of refusal to participate in the start-up funding. Time is of the essence to secure this opportunity and I thank you for your time and interest.

Urgent. I need your kind support. please help me.
Posted by jhenel12 on 2010-08-22 01:58:58
There will be 150 delegates from different countries in South East Asia . 25 delegates will be coming from the Philippines , and fortunately I was given the chance to be one of the delegates to represent our country.
The conference will be held on September 6 to 16, 2010 , there are many activities prepared for us, bible study, religious trips, visit to the history museum and training institute etc. We need not to worry about anything when we get there. They will take care of everything including our lodgings, foods and other needs. The only thing that we need to prepare is plane ticket.
I need your kind support. The fare to South Korea costs 25,000. Im looking for sponsors who can contribute 5,000, 7,000 or any amount that can help me buy the plane ticket. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Because of the upcoming holiday, the flight to Korea is in high demand. So I am hoping and praying that I can be able to reserve a ticket before the month (August) ends.
The main office allow only few people from different parts of the world to represent their country to visit Korea, they are receiving thousands of application and only people who have great desire and who are commendable were chosen.
Words cannot express how happy I am, because finally the way was opened for me. This is once in a lifetime opportunity and it might be my first and last chance.
I am so eager to represent our country.
I am really hoping for your kind support and prayers so that my dream of coming to Korea and to represent our country can come true.
Thank you very much and God bless.

About two years ago, I began a new profession of teaching English to those of other languages. It has been a rewarding and fruitful experience, but as you may know, teachers do not get paid a high salary especially those teaching abroad to foreign students.
For those unfamiliar with ESL/TEFL (English as a Second Language/Teaching English as a Foreign Language) it allows Native speakers like myself to spread the knowledge of English for those who wish to learn it in their home countries. I have been a Certified ESL/TEFL/TESOL Instructor since 2007 and it has been an enjoyable experience. As you may know, teachers in general do not get paid a high salary and ESL Teachers are paid even less. Being an ESL Teacher often means long hours of work for little pay and travelling to multiple destinations in one day to teach a variety of students. ESL Teachers do not expect to become rich teaching English, they do it for other reasons. I do it for C.A.R.E., four major reasons:
C-Cultures, infusing cultures and learning of yourself with others.
A-Achievement,knowing you have taught someone something in which they can use.
R-Results, the English they learn can be used to advance them in today's global economy.
E-Enrichment, providing a service in which communication can bring people together for years to come.
I am currently teaching in Ukraine, but I have a new teaching job opportunity in a new country that I would like to get to. Not only for the chance of teaching new students in a new culture, but a tremendous demand for language schools which in could turn into a what I have been hoping to do, opening my own language center. I have been planning this for months as the academic year was coming to a close at my current school, what I didn't plan for was my school not fulfilling their obligations in the contract for a year end completion bonus. This completion bonus was a major part of my relocation funds. Even though the summer has past and I continue to work towards my goal, it seems the end is moving farther away at a greater rate of speed than which I am going.
I am not asking for one individual to give the entire amount or pay the relocation expense, but only a small donation. Even if it is the cost of the average fast food meal, it will be greatly appreciated. If everyone just tells one friend and they donate, small donations can be very powerful.
Please visit my website at www.worldestiny.com (currently disabled, please feel free to visit the free web hosting site at http://worldestiny.freetzi.com) and see for yourself. Before my website was disabled it was ranked in the TOP 30 in Google search results for learning English online. I would like to keep it running and eventually open my own learning center. I offer educational games and learning activities among other things for students and teachers. I am just an honest person trying to create a better world through education, one student at a time.
As you can see, I am not simply begging for money or making a story for you to read. But, in reality, a way to help more people other than just myself.
I appreciate your time in reading my request. Thank you.
