I really need help, I couldn't sleep tonight. I actually googled , "I am about to get evicted and I need help paying rent" and this website came up so here I am. If this site really works and there is anyone out there willing or able to help I sincerely need you now! My rent including late fee is $725 and as of today I m 21 days late and only have $80. The reason for this is that I work part time and get paid every 2 weeks. While my pay is usually enough to cover this, I did fracture my toe and sprain my ankle 2 weeks ago causing me to miss a week from work. I'm also a freelance designer so I can work from home but I have not received any new projects so no money coming in there.
I am willing to trade services/work for whatever I can get, I design logos, websites and more, you can see my portfolio at raisincanearts.com that way I will be earning instead of begging.... really need help please someone, anyone this is not a scam, I need money any amount helps as long as it brings me closer to that $725 but that is my end goal. I don't have any friends or family that can help me so this is really my last resort. If you need any graphic design in exchange for donation my email is canr.raisincanearts@yahoo.com. Thank you

Hi Everyone!

My name is Tony and I am in the process of starting a new clothing company called Abduction 51.

It has been my dream for around 7 years now to have my own clothing company which I can pass onto my children in years to come.

I have put many many hours into the business so far to try and get things started and I have managed to get as far as getting a small amount of prototype tshirts printed.

I am now working on the launch line, which is where I really need your help! I have a business partner who is a designer and together we have been working all available hours to create designs for the launch line. We are really close to completing our launch lineup but we are really struggling to get the funds to put our launch line into production.

My funding target is £2000. The £2000 target is to cover the costs of getting our apparel manufactured and market it.

We would really like your help to help us to make this dream a reality!

Once we have established our brand name and the company is doing well, we want to bring out a clothing line where all profits will go to local and nation charities.

No donation is too big or too small!

Thank you for taking the time to read my Beglist advert.

Tony

This is highly embarassing for me to "cyber beg." Begging seems like such an awful word, but here I am asking for donations of anything! I don't care if it's 0.25 cents or $1. Anything helps.

I'm a struggling graphic designer in need of a new desktop Machintosh. I'm aiming to raise $1300 to buy a new iMac computer so that I can start designing to complete my portfolio and start applying for work. My last computer failed on me during finals in school. Thanks to my school's computer lab, I was able to finish my work and graduate. That was back in NYC. I couldn't afford living there on my own and had to come to a smaller town to live with parents. I worked minimum wage retail to gain some money, but the physical stress forced me to stop working due to muscle weakness problem I have. A medical affliction caused by a tumor that has been affecting my energy and skeletal/muscle strength for about 7 years. It was hard getting through school with my condition. It was twice as hard having to work on my feet for hours in a retail environment.

Double my misfortune, I live in a place where jobs are hard to come by. A small town which has a lot of developing to do and jobs are far between. I need a car to travel to the nearest grocery store and can't depend on parents to transport me everywhere. This is why a job is so imperative. I'd like to feel fulfilled knowing I'm doing something for my future and earning money to buy my needs. I wish I had the equipment to start looking for work.

I want an iMac more than anything in the world. If I had my iMac, I could update my portfolio, do some online freelance work and help my parents with some bills. I could start applying for jobs from home and not have to rely on my neighbor's iPad to browse the internet. Whenever my family goes to the mall in the weekends, I pass by our local Apple store and I see people walking out of the store with large boxes containing their brand new iMac's, Macbook Pro's or expensive iPad's...and I get angry.

Yes, I know it sounds terrible and I know not everyone buying a computer is a rich business mogul or an overpampered kid whose parents can buy them whatever they want, and they never have to worry about whether they could afford it or not. But it hurts me to know I'm in such a position, that although I am an adult who should be paying her parent's bills, I can't even help myself because I'm unemployed. No thanks to my stupid weak body that can't take a lot of physical strain, no thanks to ending up in a town where I can't get anywhere without having to walk at least two miles, no thanks to not having my computer...

My name is not Amelia. That is just a screen name because I am too embarassed to reveal my real name. I'd be so grateful to anyone that can help me reach my $1300 goal. I know Mac's are expensive, but they are the industry standard in what I do. I would like a desktop because they are durable and longer lasting. They can also take a lot processing power for the heavy graphic work I do. If you can find it in your time to spare any change .25 cents, $1, $5, I'll be grateful 'till eternity.

Anyone who donates, be kind to leave an email so that I can send you something in return for your favor.

Thank you and God bless,

Please help!! Would like to fly to Pennsylvania to visit family! I'm a freelance website designer who has been having a hard time this past year because of the economy. I normally generate enough work via referralls, but very few people are willing to open a new business and current business owners are very afraid to spend any money on marketing or website upgrades. I'm not looking for a handout, but rather new customers. My work is professional and projects are always finished on time. My price ranges from $250-$800 for a new professional website. Thank you!!

I have rent due March 2nd and I am short 1200.00 Dollars. I am not asking for a free handout,

I will pay this loan back in 60days with 100.00 dollars interest, when some money that is owed to me becomes available.

I would not ask for any other reason than I have a ten month old baby and Im in desperate need of Rent, food and utilities. Im a freelance web designer and business has been slow for several months.
I pray there is another kind soul taht can help me and my family.
Thank you, SEan

I recently discovered I am pregnant with my first child and am overwhelmed. I am excited about the idea of becoming a mother and know that I will be a good parent. I am educated, hard working and love children.

I have been a dog rescuer for over 10 years, working as a foster parent for my local humane society. This is 100% a volunteer position that I donate a lot of my time, energy and resources to. In the past 10 years I have rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed over 300 dogs and puppies.

I do have a full-time job to pay my bills. I am a hard worker and have been at my current job for 6 years. However, due to the economy in my area, my income recently took a sharp nosedive. I am looking for additional work to supplement my income and/or a different full-time job (that is not commission based).

Unfortunately, my bills are now behind and my home is in foreclosure. I own a small farm in the country and have a great set-up for the foster work that I do and a great place to raise a child. Rentals in our area tend to be higher than what my mortgage payment is now ($550), so moving wouldn't be a better move for me financially. I am currently 3 payments behind.

With cold weather here now, my electric bill has spiked and is now averaging about $195 a month (most months it is only about $85-$90).

I own my vehicle outright, but it's older and seems to be in need of more and more repairs. Right now I am in debt to my mechanic $165 for brake work he did 2 weeks ago. It's an older SUV and a gas guzzler.

I do not live a fancy lifestyle, by any means. I do not have cable tv, high-speed internet, new clothes or shoes, expensive purses or designer sunglasses. I live a very modest and healthy life and do not believe in waste. I'm not a drinker, not a smoker and do not use drugs of any kind.

The humane society foots in the bill on all of the foster-dog related expenses (vet care, food, toys, etc.), so I have no money going out towards that. I have cut back on the number of dogs that I foster, from 2-3 at a time to just 1. I am a responsible foster parent and in no way a hoarder.

I intend to continue fostering up until I have the baby (due date is August 15th). I get so much personal fulfillment out of rescue work and I know will miss it when the baby comes. However, I know that I will want to focus 100% on my child and being the best mom I can be.

I have always been a big believer in paying it forward to the greater good. I'm hoping that this plea will reach someone out there who is currently in a comfortable financial position and willing to assist someone who is not.

I can, and will, provide proof of any of the facts I stated above, including a letter from my employer, a letter from the humane society director, copies of my utility bills, mortgage bill, etc., upon request.

For career purposes, I've decided that I need to go to the West Coast. Please help me get there. I need $150 for a one-way plane ticket, and $3000 for three months of living expenses to get me off the ground while I'm job searching. I also have a fledgling freelance business that can help, but I am living on credit at the moment and don't want to reach my maximum.

I work in graphic and software design, and I've found that the opportunities in San Francisco are more challenging and more varied than the work available in DC, and this challenge is what I would thrive on. If you are in San Francisco and know of anyone who can provide work to a graphic/software designer like me, please get in touch with me at introversal@aol.com.

Thanks for helping make my dream a reality.

Hi,

I'm a freelance graphic/software designer who already has a paying client with a startup also interested in my services, but I'm having trouble performing at my best because I do not have the money for a dedicated work area. There is a coworking office near my apartment that offers space for $350/month, but to work at full capacity I'd really like to buy the equipment I need for a home office, which runs between $3 and $5k. (At a minimum having a larger monitor and a desk would let me do some of the basic design work I need to do: that's $500-1k.)

Please get in touch with me at introversal@aol.com if you are interested in helping me start my fledgling freelance business with any contribution. I would be happy to pay back once I have a steady revenue stream going.

Thanks!

I feel very ashamed of myself having to resort to this, but I am desperate to get back on my feet and take care of my son the way he deserves.
I had to leave my job due to a pesky pulmonary nodule causing breathing problems and causing me to pass out at work. I started working in a MLM type of company as an independent contractor, but first our car broke down, then we fixed it; but then I lost car insurance and registration due to expiration (no money to pay for it). I have had to borrow and repay money for rent three months in a row and my car is starting to go AGAIN...it is a 1999 Cadillac Deville with 134,000 miles, so I guess I can't complain. In the past 4 weeks, I went from a healthy 137lbs to 119lbs of skin and bones; I refuse to eat unless my son has healthy food to eat, but I am starting to feel tired and confused due to malnutrition. I don't need hundreds of thousands of dollars; I just want to get ahead. I am fortunate that my son, his father and I are able to move with friends next month, but I still have $1290 to pay on December 5th for rent so as not to lose security deposit. I need the money to get caught up on general bills, totaling approximately $3300 as well as groceries for December $400-500. I am also in need of my bipolar medication that I have not been able to aquire in 6 months when my financial situation started to decline due to poor health, car troubles, loss of tuiton money and general misfortune. I can pay out of pocket for school; I lost financial aid because I had to withdrawal for health and family reasons-2 semesters in a row of withdrawals or poor grades cause the financial aid dept to drop you. I am not a bad student and I was even inducted into Phi Theta Kappa in October 2008 for academic excellence. To sum it up; I just want to be on my feet again. I hate that my son sees mommy and daddy cry every night, because we don't know from one day to the next...will the electric get shut off next? How will we get food? Thankfully our rent will be severely reduced starting January 1st, but I just want..NEED to get ahead for once. I have sold everything I own...including my $2500 engagement ring, which I sold for a whole $145 for groceries. I do have three designer bags I haven't sold yet; I was planning to sell for Christmas money for my son, but anyone who donates and is interested, can have them. I will be eternally grateful for anyone to be kind enough to donate! If I could just receive a total of at least $5000 for bills, rent and groceries, I will be the happiest woman alive. I am not too concerned with my medication, because it is $140 per month that CAN wait, if need be. My son's well-being and future means more to me than anything. I am sorry if this is a jumbled mess; I am extremely worn out and I cannot seem to muster the thoughts to put with the emotions I am feeling right now. Thank you for any generosity and I hope that without the premium Beglist account, my story is able to find anyone willing to help a family in need.

I'm a Canadian Designer and need funds for my business. I need investors to help me purchase the fabric and other supplies to create the next hottest fashion trend. Please help me out.

I have been wanted to be a fashion designer all my life. I needed at least $600 to buy the supplies. I had almost $300...but my mom needed help with the rent (i'm only 15) so i gave it to her. She told me she would pay me back but now she is saying that the things I need are not the important!?! A good sewing machine is at least $100. Plus fabric and a mannequin to work on (I don't know how much it cost) I just need the money to start me off making cloths and then i can sell the cloths and keep making money. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY DREAM!! I've asked everyone. And my babysitting job is not cutting it. Plus i have to pay for my own school things!! HELP MY DREAM!!

Up until 2010, my children had been living with my husband (their step-father, who is active duty military) and me.

As part of my divorce decree, my ex-husband had given me permission to move out-of-state with the children. I managed inter-state visitations flawlessly because I knew how important it was for my kids to spend as much time with their father as possible. However, when the Army re-assigned us to a NEW duty station, my ex-husband "changed his mind" and took me to court for custody of our children, ages 10 and 12.

I was terrified at the idea of losing my children, but my attorney assured me that there was absolutely no cause; I am a good mother and my husband and I are both fully engaged, involved, loving parents.

Boy, was my attorney wrong. The family court decided to award my ex-husband custody despite the fact that I am a wonderful parent (and stay-at-home mom) to my kids - based on the fact that we are a military family. There was never a custody or home evaluation done; the ruling was simply based on this particular Family Court's bias against the military.

In the end, my ex-husband destroyed me in every way possible; emotionally and financially. Life has been extremely difficult without my children .. and I have about $8000.00 in debt from attorney/court fees. I have been babysitting and working as a freelance web designer for extra money, but it is slow-going and this debt seems impossible to pay off, so I am here asking for help. Even small donations add up. Thank you for taking the time to consider assisting me.

Hi my name is Linda and I'm a Jewelry Designer (and a damn good one), I have been designing jewelry a good 9 yrs. I have a huge inventory made! My jewelry is well received with return clientele and 0% of any product being returned

Hello,
Thank you for taking some time out of your life to read this. I am currently a High School Senior in the US, and will be graduating around June. I am pursuing a career in fashion design, and will love* to achieve that in London. With constant mocks and jeers from family/friends about becoming a fashion designer, it is hard to get any support from them. I am currently working a part-time job, and is constantly helping out family issues at home. Since my mother sacrificed to focus on her children instead of going to college, I feel that I need to make something of myself. Yes, making it in the fashion industry is difficult, but with the motivation and devotion to make it big, I believe I will be successful. People always look at me and laugh, because they think that I won't be the next big iconic fashion designer. But take a moment to think about it though, did people know from the beginning that Coco Chanel, Gianna Versace, Chistian Dior, or other fashion icons would become so successful? With that said, being able to study abroad in London will definitely give me a fresh new start of a whole different world and lifestyle. And with all the negativity I've been living in throughout my life, I feel it's time for a change of environment and to further my knowledge in fashion. I am currently working on my application for London College of Fashion. I really feel that I can make it in the industry and will love to show others who doubted me that you can make dreams come true. So please, any amount of donation will gladly be appreciated and used for the real intention for furthering my education in London. Again, thank you for your time.
If you are willing to donate, please contact me at

I am in desperate need of $400 to make my rent on May 1. Due to an emergency car repair, I'm now short. I've paid the rest of my bills, I have a normal full-time job I've held for 13 years... but I have no way to come up with this $400. I have never asked for money online before. I have no family to go to. I've tried going to the pawn shop, and I can't get enough because I don't have enough items of big value. I tried online payday loans but due to having a couple of previous NSFs on my bank statement, I can't get approved for those. I am a graphic designer and I would be happy to help someone with work for assisting me. I just cannot believe I am in this situation. I hope someone will help me, even a little.

Finally, I found something I want to do and can become good at doing. I want to become a web designer. However, I need money for tuition. Even though classes start next week, I can still get into classes in March if I have enough money for tuition, books and transportation.

Anything you can spare for tuition, books and transporation would be greatly apprecitated. Remember, it's either this or I'd have to become a drug dealer . . . and that is NOT an option now that I have direction and a goal.

Thanks for reading this.

I've had 2 strokes and I need a career advance in my life. I have student loans I need to pay off so I can go back to school. Ultimately I aspire to become a Web Designer working working with HTML and CSS scripting. At 40 years of age it is difficult to start over with no income. I am disabled due to the strokes which inhibits my ability to perform restaurant work and customer service which is where my experience has come from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
