I know God will get me through this....

*our monthly condo maintanence fee of $258.00 for the past 3 months.
*I have a $160.00 car insurance payment due on 6-10-12, this will keep my paid until 10-10-12.
*The divorce attorney is asking for a $2500.00 retainer.
*June health insurance of $555.00.
*The numerous unpaid medical expenses.
I make it happen with the rest of the things my boys and I need. In July of 2012 I will recieve Medicare, since I will then have been on disability for 2 years. I think that will make things somewhat easier on me. As a note, lymphoma is not being treated right now. Thank goodness the nodules have remained stable, though if there is any change I will probably have to start some sort of treatment.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Since almost dying in 2010, I have a renewed faith in God (though I have always been a believer). I know that God walks beside me and my children and the He watches over us. Prayers to all that are on this site, whether asking for help or giving it.

old and have been separated from my
wife for the past 16 months. I have two
children whom I have not been able to
see without being supervised for the
entire time we have been separated. I
was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes 11
years ago. My wife claims that I am not
a fit parent because of my disease and
that being with me puts my children in
danger. I have been fighting this in
court the entire separation, but I have
the unfortunate disadvantage of going
up against a family that has much more
money and much more power than I. I
came to the United States 16 years ago
from Ireland, where my six brothers and
sister and my parents still reside so I
do not have a lot of support here in
the United States. I am going public
with my story now because I am losing
out on precious time with my children
and there does not seem to be an end in
sight. If I had the money or legal help
to fight this battle, I believe that I
would have won back the right to spend
time with my children long ago. I am
being treated like a criminal because
of my disease. I am not attempting to
gain sole custody, I am only looking
for joint custody with the right to be
able to spend time with my children
without the direct supervision of my
soon to be ex-wife.
If this is a story that would be
interest to you, I would be more than
happy to discuss it in greater detail.
Thanks for your time.

My illness is destroying my family
Posted by Apollo on 2012-04-15 19:58:51
Not so long ago my fiancee and I were living together in our own place planning on getting married and starting a family - that is now a distant dream.
We are now up to our eyeballs in debt and living in my parents spare room together trying to scrape by since my sick pay from work stopped.
I know there is not a hell of a lot of detail here, and I may not sound as dire as some others, but I cannot bring myself to type it all out here.
Please help me, I don't want to hurt them any more.
Trapped Overseas

Her payout for the property she has a contract on selling has been finalized, but she is unable to collect the needed paperwork her stupid lawyer gave to the hotel as a "payment guarantee". It sounds stupid, because it is stupid. I think this lawyer must have purchased his law degree from a "five and dime" establishment. Any of you out there who've had to deal with lawyers in foreign countries know exactly what I'm talking about here. They are sometimes not the sharpest knives in the drawers!!! And that's being polite!!!! Please help...contact me for more details on how you may do so, or just submit your paypal details here on the website, I guess. Not sure how this site works, unfortunately. Thanks for reading my plea.
My name is Dennis. In early December 2011, my fiance' traveled abroad to settle her late father's estate and to sell a large piece of property. When she went (at the insistence of her uncle), she was assured she would only gone for about 2 weeks because the property was supposedly a hot commodity. According to the family lawyer, who was acting as counsel for my fiance', the land would easily sell in 2 weeks. That was in early December. My fiance was sent overseas with very little clothing, very little money (the minimum to get by on for 2 short weeks) and she had no place to stay. She was not welcome to remain in the lawyer's home past a few days, since he had other relatives coming in for the Christmas holidays. She was basically forced into staying in a hotel which she did not have sufficient funding for. I have since tried to help but have completely hit the bottom of the barrel. I've sold anything and everything of value to try to keep up with the mounting hotel bills and her survival needs. Now the money has run out, I am unable to borrow any more. I have no family or friends I can count on to help and neither does my fiance'. The hotel manager has decidely made things much more difficult by seizing her passport and some important documentation and is holding her papers as hostage until she pays the bill. Until she gets paid for the property she is selling, which will be in the next 10 days, she cannot do anything but cry for help. (She is caught in a "catch-22) situation. She cannot sell the property without having her travel papers and the important documentation for the sale of her property. She can't get her papers back until she provides for payment to the hotel. She desperately needs a minimum of $1500.00 to settle the hotel bill and satisfy mounting living expenses. Please donate what you can. If you need to be repaid, she is willing to repay what she is loaned with some nominal interest applied. We will need to work that detail out later if required. Please, please, help. Thank you for whatever you can do.

Thank you,
I'm 23 and alone...you're nice already
Posted by kaenor on 2011-12-12 22:58:05
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.

Sometimes, Bad Things happen to Good People...
Posted by BrokeinVT on 2011-10-14 13:58:09
I've got the ring, I've planned the perfect trip and I've taken care of every last detail.
......
Then I got in a car accident. It wasn't my fault and no one was seriously injured, but the vehicle was totaled.
Insurance plus everything I had saved just barely covered replacing the car.
Now, I'm screwed. I have a job, but not a very good one. It took me almost three months working a second job to save enough for this trip. It took nearly a year to afford the ring. I planned to surprise her with two tickets on the 28th of October. Now, there is no possible way for me to replace that money in time.
I am not used to asking complete strangers for help, but I have no other choice. There is no way for me to back out of this trip now, but I have no money to cover it.
Any little bit you can spare would be helpful.
Thank You.
Treatment for PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder
Posted by kitkaplan on 2011-10-11 12:58:49
I had a severe reaction to the shot and got the flu which turned into chronic fatigue. I also developed cognitive problems similar to early dementia. I have not been able to work successfully since 2005 and have a lot of cognitive problems when I do. I am on disability which barely covers my personal needs and does not cover my bills. My partner supports me.
On top of this I have struggled with mental illness my whole adult life and have felt suicidal most of the time. I have been diagnosed with Early Dimentia, Anxiety Disorder, Bi-Polar, PTSD from childhood abuse and recently Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)which is very hard to treat. (Learmm about BPD here http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=17770 )
The only evidence-based treatment for BPD is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which costs $800/month for a 4 month group with intensive therapy.
(Learn about the treatment here http://www.cognitivetherapynyc.com/DBT.aspx )
As a result of not working I have not been able to contribute to family bills and we are 2-3 months behind on most. We rob peter to pay paul monthly not to get the electricity shut off or the car repossessed or foreclosed on. We faced forecloseure one year.
I hope that with treatment I can return to work. I am happy to talk to you about this in detail if you are interested.

My name is Gina and I am trying to raise money for 3 things:
Fix my car for Work Purposes
To relocate to Dallas Texas for Work Purposes
Get my sick cat to a vet for blood tests to get her on the right medications.
My car is going south on me bad Catalytic Converter and Possibly a leak on Carburetor.
My ex fiancé (retired mechanic) is trying to do what he can with it but does not have the right tools.
I am currently employed as a demonstrator doing demonstrations at the local Safeway in Aberdeen. I need that car I cannot do demonstrations without my car.
The company I work for does demonstrations in Dallas Texas also there are more Safewayâs plus they also do them at Target and Home Depot again I would need my car.
In addition the company my sister works at will be doing a training class for Reservations Sales Specialists in Jan 2012, That I could do by bus, and eventually work from home. My sister is willing to put me up but it is a family of 3 in 2 bedroom town house with a big dog.
I plan to leave 10/01 with a rental truck towing my car. Another idea I had was to find a Class C motor home with a tow bracket on it for about the same as the truck rental buy that and drive to Texas in that with my stuff in it towing my car that way I would just need to put my stuff in storage and find a place to put my motor home for a while.
My cat Angel whom I have had for 14 years has been ill it may be Hyperthyroidism or Diabetes I need to get blood tests to know for sure.
I hate doing this and I know times are hard for all of us, just a small donation from anyone who can, will help me once again be a self supportive individual.
If you only knew what my life has been like since 2005 and if you ask me I will tell you.
Also I have put together a cost detail of what I need to accomplish my goals.
Any one who would like to see it I would be glad to let them.
I am between address at this time because I was staying with my parents and they are preparing to leave in their Fifth wheel for 4 weeks 09/20 and my dad wants to shut down the house while he is gone, He has always known I needed to be there till the 10/01. My ex fiancé is putting me up but has no mail box he is getting his mail at his ex wifeâs PO Box so any donations would have to be sent to.

PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Need Help Please - Lost Home and Husband To Suicide
Posted by YoungWidow on 2011-08-06 16:58:53
Joe and I bought our home in 1999. We had rented it for 3 years since we had gotten married on June 1, 1996. We were a happy couple and in love and we created many memories there, happy Christmases, a lot of laughter and a growing togetherness that at the end, rendered Joe and I not just husband and wife, but best of friends. Joe was my best friend.
We both worked, but the layoffs began in 2007. For years, we struggled and worked hard to make ends meet. In 2009, we were working with our mortgage company on a loan modification program. Still, bankruptcy had to be filed in late 2009. But, in October, 2010, Joe was laid off again. For the next six months following the last lay off, we worked with the mortgage company in trying to find a buyer for our home to possibly rent it back to us. Ultimately, the mortgage company auctioned our home for $98,000. All of our equity was gone and we had no home. Both of us were out of work and Joe was receiving unemployment benefits.
During that time, I watched Joe change. He had always been an optimistic person. One of his favorite things to say was, 'it doesn't have to be this way'. He was the life of the party, he made everyone laugh, and he was a good person. Joe was a genuinely sincere, loving, sweet, hardworking man who cared about others.
Even strangers. Once, driving home from work, he heard a girl screaming from a deserted parking lot behind Safeway. He pulled over and got out of the car, as two men ran by him. He said he wanted to chase them, but did not because he felt he needed to check on the girl. She had been beaten. He stayed with her and comforted her until the police arrived. They thanked him for stopping. He said he told them, 'Of course. Anyone would'. They assured him that was not true. But, that was the way that Joe thought.
I watched Joe struggle more than I had ever seen someone do to take care of our home and of me. Sometimes he would still laugh, but those times began coming fewer and farther between. Sometimes, he would cry. He would sob in my arms. It tears my heart out now to think of it. I will never in this lifetime get over this or recover completely. Joe had been in my life for a total of 18 years, 16 married, almost (this last June 1, 2011 would have been our 16th wedding anniversary), he was a good man, and he was my friend. He was my life.
Joe and I lost our home. We packed our home of nearly 16 years into a storage building. (I have since lost that building and all of our belongings).
3 days after losing our home, Joe committed suicide. He jumped off of a bridge. Despite a hospital stay and efforts to save him, he ultimately died.
The buyers of our home have turned it over or flipped it already in this short time. I sometimes go by it and look at it. I see Joe tinkering in the garage or I look through the front window and picture us having dinner together. I see where our Christmas tree stood. I look at the front door and remember when we first walked through it, when we were engaged and looking for our first (and only) home. The very first thing that went into our home, before furniture or belongings, was a small statue with Jesus and a little plaque that read 'Bless Our Home'. Joe hung that in the hallway. I still cannot comprehend that this happened. Joe was always a positive, happy person. Our wedding song was 'You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me.' by Gladys Knight. I can't listen to it now. I know you don't know Joe and he's a stranger to you, but he was my life.
I lost my husband and my home in a period of 3 days. Joe's unemployment checks have ceased and there is no income. I have applied for dozens upon dozens of jobs, everything from picking up trash at a park to a waitress to an errand runner. I have not been hired. I have few skills and he was always the major earner. He had years of experience in various outside sales. I am not a college graduate with few skills and what I have to offer is very limited. I cannot afford to go back to school. Social Security will not help because I am not old enough. Joe and I couldn't have children so often, public assistance cannot help. New creditors are coming after me, such as the homeowners association for the house we lost, his time in the hospital in their efforts to save him (due to circumstances, there was no medical insurance, however by law they were required to treat him), the ambulance and rescue team that pulled him from the water and the list and cost is too measurable to detail here. I do not know where else to turn. I am alone. So, I am turning to you.
Joe used to say, 'sometimes bad things happen to good people.' When he said that, I never imagined this. Can you please help? I am lost.
Thank you.
All My Best,
Christina

Friend / Roommate is Dying , No Insurance, No Job, No Government Assistance
Posted by EdHopkinsJr on 2011-06-26 18:58:13
I have never had to beg before in m life. I can't believe I have to resort to this tactic at the age of 55 years old. Exhausting all my savings.
Here is my story.. In April 2008 I was laid off my Shop Manager job for a construction company after 5 years employment.
Shortly after I was only able to secure a Desk Clerk job at a old run down former Holiday Inn, here in Salina, KS.with a room as part of the compensation. After 2 years of employment there they had a infestation of bed bugs and the owner wouldn't do anything about it and I was really ate up by them, didn't know why I had bites all over me until I visited the emergency room. Upon returning to work I asked the owner to pay the hospital emergency room bill of $380. He said he would but still hasn't done so after presenting the bill to him.
I was able to get $106. a week unemployment though which put me living out of my 1989 Jeep pickup that I had. I built a box on the back that I cared my positions and slept in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I put ads on craigslist for house painting and got very few jobs but once in a while I could get a room so I could clean up and get some relief from the heat that summer sometimes hitting 106 degrees.
Finally August 5,2010 I found a job at a Car Detail shop and was able to get a cheap motel room. This is hard work now for a 55 year old man, but I persisted even though finding out the owner was a drunk. I came in on pay day one day in September only to be fired because he didn't have the money to pay the help. Even after filing a complaint with the Kansas Labor board he has managed to avoid payment.
Then I meet a man that had an old house for sale that was willing to help me out and I was able to make a deal to buy the small home for $2500. , $500. and $100. a month till paid for. No gas , No electric, No Water, it was a wreck none the less a shelter for the winter coming up. I put a ad on craigslist to sell my truck so I could make the deal and within a week a couple had purchased my truck and I was able to make the down payment and moved the few things I had left in and make a bed. The neighbors were nice people and insisted on running a electric cord through the window so I would have lights and I had a little electric heater to stay warm.
I was still running the ad on craigslist for painting and through the grace of god got a pretty good painting job that netted me $1300. After waiting 4 weeks to get paid for that job ( the company said the check was buried under paperwork on his desk when I called the day before Thanksgiving wondering why I hadn't received the check) right..
Any way I paid the payments up till February 2011
In November the city heard I was living in the house with out electric, gas and water and sent me a notice and posted a notice to vacate the premises with in 30 days or be fined $500. I called them and said I was working on it and they gave me till December to have it up to code and inspected for $150 city fee. I didn't know what to do but kept applying for jobs and praying for someone to call and have some painting done. A friend of mine was a electrician and came over and told me what I need to pass the electric inspection. I called around and there was one company that would do all the inspection so I scheduled the inspections and passed the electric December 24 2011 and I called to have it turned on and they couldn't do it till the 26th, all gone for holiday. The gas line was a different story, the plumbing company spent two day correcting the problem and left me with a bill of $1400. that I have only been able to pay $40. on.
A 50 year old man I had made friends with Russ, while working the motel told me he had to quit work because he
was dying from hepatitis and didn't know what he was going to do, he had been homeless while I was for a while, so I told him he could move in 2nd week of February 2011, he was waiting on unemployment and should be coming in any time now, But the motel wouldn't let him stay with out paying.
He did get a good size unemployment back payment and 2 days before the utilities were to be disconnected we got the utilities and the house payment caught up.
Because of the unemployment he was getting SRS has cut off his and my food assistance and he has been denied disability and has to get a lawyer to handle it. I have been applying to every job and submitting my resume to every job online and in the local paper with not 1 interview. I do have a company that said they will call me as soon as they get some work themselves.
Russ my roommate will get to were they have to extract the water that builds up around his organs. The Dr said he has anywhere from 1-2 years to live and I would like to make him as comfortable as possible. I cook all the meals and take him to Dr appointments and to pick up his medication.
The gas is all ready going to be shut off this next week because we missed a payment on the cold weather agreement and now owe $689.35
I do have a PayPal account where you can send assistance it is edwardahopkinsjr@gmail.com Mail to: Ed Hopkins Jr 331 N 11th St. Salina, Kansas 67401 We still have a cell phone 785-201-2347 if you would like to call.

P.S. I belive in the Pay It Forward System and will help at least 3 other people if you help me. I did donate $1. to BegsList I had $2. in my PayPal account. But I can't afford the $9.95 for the spotlight ad.

Donations Needed to Pay Rent, Bills, Buy Groceries, and Support My Family
Posted by gotmark on 2011-05-30 15:58:21
I am currently unemployed since 03/28/2011 and have been only able to get by with money I had saved for my emergency fund. Thankfully I had this saved up but I'm now out of money and do not have any immediate resources that can provide assistance.
The Texas Work Force Commission says I'm ineligible for unemployment insurance because my employer, a small company with a CEO that would yell at employees all the time told them I quit my job. This is not the case, I was told to leave for no reason during a meeting without warning. I'm in the process of appealing my case for a hearing, but the process will take weeks before they can determine a hearing date and determine if I'm eligible.
I am very detail oriented and have applied to 306 different positions since I was let go. I've been on 8 interviews and have another lined up for tomorrow. I have been applying to jobs that are relevant to my job skills and qualifications, which is search engine optimization (SEO), customer service, and inside sales. Most of the positions I've had the chance to interview with have stiff competition and some are still in the searching process. I needed a job 2 months ago. Recently, I was able to get hired for a retail position that pays $7.25 an hour. At this point I will sweep the floors for someone to hire me. This position starts June 6th.
Anyhow, in the midst of all this, I have an 11 year old daughter, and a 3 year old son. I've been married for 11 years and my wife does what she can as a baker for birthdays, weddings and holidays. She brings in about $300 a month which she contributes to groceries and kids clothes.
I'm dedicated and hard working and want to be able to pay my bills and support my family.
Here is a breakdown of my expenses:
Rent: $1195 per month
Car Payments: $720 per month
Car/Rental Insurance: $320 per month
Cable/Internet: $165 per month
Sallie Mae Student Loan: $60.00 per month (past Due 17 days)
Water/Trash Utilities:$60 per month
Groceries: $600 month
Gas: $200 per month
Total Expenses: $3320 per month
Currently, I have $900 to my name. Today in 05/30/2011 and I have to pay rent by June 3rd.
If there is anyone out there who would be willing to make a donation I can provide a tax receipt so you can use it as a write off when you file your taxes. Also, I will be willing to create a website or provide my SEO services as a way help your business get found on the front page of Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
I am glad I found this site and I hope it works! Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you send a donation I will provide a picture of my family and as well as an update on our status.
Thanks in advance for your help!

At the end of my rope, and in dire need of help!
Posted by TheDutchFist on 2011-04-08 18:58:06
Basically, I grew up in and out of group/foster homes because both of my parents were heroin addicts. Before I was taken away from them at age four we lived in junky squat motels where my father would boost and my mother would prostitute to support their habit. Eventually they were both arrested for crimes committed to support their habit and that's when I was made a ward of the state.
For a brief period my father got out of prison, cleaned up, and I lived with him from when I was about 8 to 11. He got me out of the foster home I was living in, met a woman at the church he started attending and got a job as a truck driver. While he was gone at work she would beat me continuing the abuse I endured previously in the foster homes I was shuffled through. It didn't take long until he started using again, and we found out that he had contracted AIDS from sharing dirty needles while he was in prison. During the time he was sick I ended up having to take care of him every day after I got home from school because my abusive stepmother was either at work or would have nothing to do with him when she wasn't. Of course, he got progressively worse and my step-mom decided she no longer wanted to support either of us, so she stuck him in a hospice. I came home from school one day and the paramedics were loading him into the back of an ambulance. For the next month she would not tell me where he was or let me contact him. At the end of that month, she left me on the doorstep of my grandmother's house (mom's mom) and was gone.
My father died about 3 weeks after that, but because my biological mother was living at my grandmother's as well we did make daily trips to see him those last weeks. A small mercy being able to spend some time with him before he died. My biological mother had gotten out of prison after my father had and had moved in with my grandmother because she was trying to get clean, but that did not last long and while we would go visit my father she would cop dope and fix up my dying father in front of me, as well as use herself. A couple weeks after my father died she split back out onto the streets leaving me in the care of my grandmother.
Needless to say with so much turmoil in my life I freaked out at this point. My grandmother couldn't handle her newly teenage grandson with so many emotional problems and kicked me out because I was so unruly. I lived on the streets, in and out of group homes until I was about 16 where finally I landed in a well run group home with staff that actually cared about the kids that lived there until I graduated high school. I re-established contact with my grandmother and mother who was once again trying to get clean. That didn't last and when she was out on the streets this time caught a lengthy prison sentence.
When I turned 18 I had to leave the group home so I stayed with friends and lived on the streets for a while again, but eventually ended moving back in with my grandmother. Not long after that she ended up being diagnosed with lung cancer. I spent the next few years nursing her, taking her back and forth to chemo and radiation treatments everyday after working the night shift as a waiter. During that time my mother got out of prison, but could no longer run the streets because now she was diagnosed with emphysema.
My grandmother did have a brief remission, but finally did succumb to her disease. After that, my mother's disease started getting progressively worse and worse. To top it all off after that she herself was also diagnosed with lung cancer. Thankfully during that time I did have some help taking care of her because I found a wonderful woman who became my fiancée. We took turns taking my mother to her chemo and radiation treatments.
Now, there is a lot more detail to this story with many more ins and outs, but that is the general outline. I guess you're probably wondering where the begging comes in and what I need it for?
Ok, here goes:
During that time my fiancée's horse riding lesson business tanked, and because of the nature of my mother's disease someone always had to be home with her because she would fall asleep sitting up and choke her self to death so someone always had to be home with her precluding at least one of us from having a regular job. We got a small stipend from the state for taking care of her in home, and she would do web design and find odd jobs off of craigslist/the internet and that's how we'd survive every month.
Unfortunately it ended up not being enough to survive or get my mother to her treatments every day. She was on medicare and the closest hospital that would accept her insurance was 40 miles each way. So, she ended up shoplifting groceries for us and got caught. I bailed her out and we took care of her case, or at least we thought we had. Cut to 2 days ago, my fiancée and I are awoken by bounty hunters stating that she missed a court date and they had to take her in. Her bail is $20,000 because now she has a failure to appear, and since my mother died about 6 months ago she's been taking care of me and has been the sole bread winner like I was when her business was tanking.
Our rent was due 3 days ago and the manager of the extended stay hotel place we live at told me we needed to be out by yesterday. I have about $10 to my name and if I don't have $600 to him in the next day or two I am sure his patience is going to run out and me, and my two dogs are going to be out on the streets, my fiancée will not have a home to come back to when she gets out of jail, and we will lose all of our stuff. If any of these details are unclear of if you have any questions about my situation please do not hesitate to ask.
If there is anyone out there that is inclined to help us in any way our gratitude would be eternal. As I said, this would be a loan. We would both work to pay you back as quickly as possible and I am not opposed to working for it now if someone has work for me to do. Also, if anyone would be inclined to help bail her out we could pay you back even more quickly. Neither of us has any family to fall back on or ask for help so this is the last thing I could think to do.
Feel free to contact me any time, and I will get back to you as soon as I can! Thank you for reading this, and considering to help. My gratitude is immense and eternal.

Feeling Lost
Posted by chrissy on 2010-10-23 00:58:58
I'm scared at where we are going (all people). So many of us seem to be working and working without being able to raise ourselves out of the ashes.
I could get into detail and I will if anyone need but I never really had a chance in life to get started.
My immediate needs are rent, electricity and some funds to get started in a business where I can actually try to make money.
I've been seeking additional employment for close to two years now and been on many interviews but I will admit, I'm not 19 any more so it's more difficult.
This is really rough because I don't look like I am greedy or something cause I truly don't have any assets.
I figure I need $600 toward rent and about $400 or so to get a web site going to sell artwork and other ideas I have.
I am creative and have some education. I've just been delt a not so great deck of cards in my life.
Any help anyone can give will be great.
Thank you all for reading my note.
I am in no way mis-representing myself and I can back up the fact that my life has been a roller coaster of financial sadness.
My heart also goes out to others in need.
