Hello everyone. I'm asking your assistance so that I can attend art school in Canada, complete my book projects, fees to cover project costs, time developing the projects, travel, location, and housing costs for it all. I also need a vehicle that won't break down on me. I'm a struggling writer, artist, and poet. I also have tons of information about myself that you can read and look up. And, the link to help me out is: http://www.gofundme.com/ka1ic

Philippines is a developing country. Unfurtunately, my family is 0ne of the po0rest family here. At age of 16 I need to work to in a factory at very low rate to help my parents to find m0ney for food.

My dream is to finish atleast 4yr college degree. After years of working my father send me to college. I am majoring accountancy. I already finish my 1st year in college and n0w I am up coming 2nd year but as the time goes on we can no longer afford my tuiti0n fee. I wish I could continue my studies.

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,

Hello,
I am an 18 year old student who has never been able to travel away from home. My parents said that this summer if I can raise the money I can go travel. I recently have been able to get my passport from selling off clothes I haven't worn but am now broke. Now I don't know what to do, I've sold just about everything I can to be able to save some money. I have extreme wanderlust and need to be able to go out and see another part of the world before I am stuck at home again for four years. If I can come up with the money to travel I plan on starting a blog to tell about my adventure. What I really want to do is volunteer in a developing country, but even those cost at least $600 without airfare. Any donations even if it is a dollar would help me out greatly. Please help a budding traveler out, it would bring you good karma.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Dear everyone,

my name is Kate, recently I have been accepted to an optometry professional school to become an eye doctor - optometrist. The school starts in August 2012 and ends after 4 years. However the tuition fee alone costs $34000 per year and the living expense costs $20000 per year. In total, I will need to have about $55000 per year and hence $250000 over the 4 years of my study. Due to my parents' low income, the bank cannot borrow enough money for us, they can only borrow us $30000 in total. Yes, this amount is significantly less than what I would need. I have dreamed of becoming an optometrist since my high school years. During my entire undergraduate years, I worked part time at an eye clinic. I was able to gain a good understanding of the optometry field as well as what it takes to run a private clinic. I learned how to interact with staffs, patients and doctors most efficiently to ultimately provide the best patient care as possible. While most people have uncertain future, I am lucky to be sure that becoming an eye doctor is what I would like to do in the future. It is my passion, my goal, and my life. It is my ultimate goal to be an eye doctor who takes care of eyes of the poor and the underprivileged people, both in developed and developing countries. In order to achieve my goal, I must become the very best doctor by receiving the best education. If one has such strong aspiration to do a great thing for the underprivileged, how sad is it to see that person's dream being hindered due to his/her poverty? Please help me reach my dream so I can further help out others in my future. Please donate any amount you wish to help me raise $250000 for my optometry education. Thank you so much for reading my message and helping out. Thank you.

I'm not like all of the other posts stating sad things that have occurred in my life. I'm just honestly looking for assistance in purchasing a ranch to provide future generations of family the benefits of the great outdoors. Things that I have learned over my adult life are what life is all about. The price of land ownership has sky rocketed and I intend on developing the land to benefit the wildlife as well as teach children and grandchildren about the outdoors and what it means to build something that you love and enjoy.

I give too much and often go without. I am in need of donations to continue and grow the free classes I offer to my community. I teach free Art classes to children and adults. My classes focus on developing critical thinking, pattern recognition through Art. I offer this to my community because our current education system conditions us to NOT think.
Thank you for making the world a better place.
Blessed be
jojo

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 am in the process of developing a new site that will allow people to register a coin for their cause, and then they will be able to track their coin and it's where-abouts online. Think "Where's George Meets Pay It Forward".

When a user registers a cause, they they pass the coin to someone else. That coin has a unique registration # on it, that the next user can use the # and record their where-abouts and their good deed.

I need to generate some money for coins to start the project. Would like to raise $500 for purchasing coins. If you would like I can offer a sponsorship page that says thank you to you or your business.

You can check out the site here:

Hope you can help out. Thanks for reading.

I am a 32 year old working mom of three beautiful children and I have the most wonderful husband anyone could ask for. We have the perfect mid-west life. We both work full time (and enjoy what we do), have a nice home, we're able to afford some luxuries in life although in moderation, that is enough for me. I enjoy cooking, and entertaining in my time off from work, and spending family time with my kids, parents, and neighbors. My children are Jordon (age 13), Logan (age 10), and Brianna (age 9). The kids are active in sports, and in our small community we are well known, and frequently can be seen volunteering at community events, church, and our local high school, of which we are both alumni. I live less than two miles from the home I grew up in. Sounds perfect if you ask me.

On February 18th, 2011 our son Logan (age 10) was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. He was not having many symptoms only occasional headaches. I was concerned that he may have been developing migraines and so I took him to see our family physician. His physical exam was normal including a rather thorough neurological exam. Dr. Arntz agreed with my initial thought and prescribed him some migraine medication. What a relief! He asked us to get a CT scan of Logan's head only as a precaution and he even stated that he didn't think there was any real concern, just a precaution. 5 days later, we were heading to the University of Michigan; Mott's childrens hospital because his precautionary CT scan had confirmed the worst for us. A 6 cm brain tumor in the posterior fossa of Logan's brain. Causing the cerebral spinal fluid to back up and create pressure in his head (hence the headaches).

Before leaving the house for the hospital we gave Logan a brief description of the problem, and explained to him that we didn't know what was going to happen next but we were going to the hospital to find out. You could see the worry on him but he was tough, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I guess I better call it something, I think I'll name it Steve." So off we went, notifying family on the way to the hospital, and completely sick to my stomach.

Three days later we would embark on the scariest days of my life. Logan was promptly scheduled for surgery the following Monday and we were told there was a high probability that the tumor was cancerous. Dr. Cormac Maher performed 14 hours of brain surgery on Logan on Monday February 21st, and confirmed our fears that Logan indeed had a cancerous brain tumor called medulloblastoma. Then more bad news the post operative MRI showed that they had been able to remove all of the tumor and Logan would need more surgery. The next day he underwent another 6 hours of brain surgery. We caught it early but based on where the tumor sat he may not be able to talk or walk normally for 3-6 months. Lucky for us he talks and walks very well all things considered. But there has been radiation therapy and chemo therapy will continue until February or March of next year. There is a 75-80% chance of survivability, I feel blessed with those odds.

Logan is doing very well but this situation has put an incredible financial burden on us. I am falling behind on bills and need help. Andy is working constantly and I even started a second job on the weekends to try to help supplement the lost income from prescriptions, gas to and from the hospital, and just having to take time off work for appointments and Logan's sick days... I don't know what else to do. The banks have tried thankfully to work with us but our circumstance is not going to change for quite awhile longer. Our family's do not have a lot of money, and have already tried to help so much that I think it may be putting a strain on them as well. The church sends gas cards occasionally but there is just not enough to keep us going for the next year.

Here' s the kicker, Logan started his own Relay for Life team. I had taken him to a local expo about 3 weeks after he had been discharged from the hospital because I thought it would be good exercise for him to walk around and there would be lot's to look at, and there was a booth for the American Cancer Society. He walked up to the lady at the booth and he said " How old do you have to be to have a team?" She signed him up on the spot. Logan Bailey's Super Survivors have raised $8300.00 for the American Cancer Society! He's only a little more than $1600.00 away from his goal of raising $10000.00 for the Relay for Life. We've held auctions, bake sales, and concerts. It's been a wonderful distraction for him and he is super excited about reaching that fund-raising goal. We have asked our friends to contribute to his goals in lieu of giving us personal financial assistance. It's more important to me that his endeavors to do more for others, are successful.

We cannot change Logan's circumstance. He will always be a brain cancer survivor, and I will forever be a medullo-mom. But, if we can make this even minutely easier for others having to face it after us then we will do it. Logan donated "Steve the brain tumor" to medical research and he volunteered to participate in a medical research trial for his treatments. We hope that the money raised for the American Cancer Society will make a difference in research and support for anyone suffering with a cancer diagnosis. We hope that the research will make the work of wonderful, selfless, people like Dr. Maher and his team easier and more successful. If I had been diagnosed with this same type of cancer at the age of ten it would have been a terminal diagnosis... the research is working!!

I need help, I need financial help for my family so that we can stop the worrying over finances and concentrate on bringing our entire family through this successfully looking at it in a positive light and remembering that we did it with hearts full of love and with others in mind. Logan is a truly remarkable child and I am so proud of him. I anxiously await your response Thank you for your consideration.

Logan Bailey's Biggest Fan!!

Hi people. I'm new to this site and I guess I feel quite stupid here :)

Anyway, just like a lot of people, I'm not living such a good life. At age 10 I moved house and lost all my friends and began a new life of loneliness, I got shy and lost all my confidence and I was bullied in school. And now I'm feeling ill after a long time of random illnesses. Obviously I can't afford these major healthcare prices since we don't have universal healthcare. Plus I haven't got insurance. I suspect I have esophaghal cancer or I may be developing it. I have all the symptoms. I'd be extremely delighted if some kind-hearted people could spare some change somehow so that I can go to the doctor, get checked out, and then sort out my life and do my bit for society.

Thanks, Sam.

I was born and raised in a developing country in South East Asia. The most affordable internet we can afford goes at a modest speed of 2kbs. My parents are retired, and we have no money to continue my education. I am working full time on the internet, micro working, in hopes that I will be able to earn money that will hopefully bring a better life to my family. I ask for your help and blessing. I am very grateful for your kindness and understanding. I wish you a happy and peaceful life. Thank you.

I am looking for expansion capital to my own temporary vacation room-for-rent. I am planning to expand it into 3 floor building plus furnish the rooms and everything to make it presentable.

I am looking for some capital to help build and launch this business. I am looking for about $30,000 to assist me in developing this business as well as being able to pay my bills and not exhaust what little savings I have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart.

I lost my job end of Feb 2011. I am a single father and live in Florida. While Florida is number 3 in the country in "unemployment", the county I reside "Pinellas" is number 1 in the state of Florida.

I have started a business selling computer software training solutions and my target audience is any "Information Technology" professionals in the field needing continuing education or wanting to get certifications.

The "information Technology" field is continually growing and will be around for a long time. With technology always changing, for example newer versions of Windows, training is a necessity for survival in this profession.

I am looking for some capital to help launch this opportunity. I am looking for about $10,000 to assist me in developing this business as well as being able to pay my bills and not exhaust what little savings I have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I heard about this site and figured, nothing ventured nothing gained. I hate to ask for anything however, based on the facts above on the "unemployment" in Florida, I felt compelled to try this. I am not too sure I have any expectations, however, you never know. Hence, here I am asking for help embarrassingly so.

If the organization you represent, has any "information Technology" professionals, perhaps we could discuss my training solutions for your team

I can provide any documentation as to the credibility of this business and web sites if contingent on receiving said assistance.

Any help what so ever would be so appreciated and welcomed and I will thank you exponentially from the bottom of my heart.

Hi there,
since 2009 I've developed a big interest in developing stuff for legacy platforms like the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.

In December 2008, I started developing small applications for the Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive. Eventually, I quit for a while and in April/May 2009 I got a Sony PlayStation Development Kit and started reading some documentation and playing with the tools it bundled.

I expected to have something I called 'NAOMI Operating System for Sony PlayStation" complete on Fall 2009, but I lost interest in everything again.

Meanwhile Summer 2009, I started to develop a mini game based on the Clock Tower series by Human Entertainment called 'Barrows Castle', with DarkBASIC Professional. I got to do some of the game play, until I got a new workstation and left all data in the old one and did not bother to transfer the 'Barrows Castle' data into my new workstation.

Later in that year, I got development tools for the Sega Saturn-- a console I always fancied. After my failures with the Sony PlayStation, I actually got to compile some test programs for the Sega Saturn.

In December 2009, I did my first working program. It was a program called "it's Britney!", inspired in the iPhone/iPod touch app, available in the Apple App Store called "it's Britney!". It displayed a Britney Spears background that I created myself using Paint.NET image editing, and it had three Britney Spears audio tracks. The 'A' button would play a track, the 'B' button another track, etc...

(I lost this piece of software though)

Also since December 2009, I've been wanting to develop a project called 'BIOGENESIS'. It's a game still in concept phase... after all this talk, I'll just get to the point.

I want to develop a game for the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn (not sure yet which) called 'BIOGENESIS'. But in concept phase I found myself in trouble...

I'll need a lot of material. I'd like to host a website about the game, buy some software (graphics editor...) and pay a few people I know to make some audio tracks.

Donate as much as you like. Any little helps. If you want to know about further developments of the game, please contact me at neptunebluebottle@gmail.com

Please make 'BIOGENESIS' possible.

I am a single dad with 2 children. My eldest daughter is autistic. Their mother sadly passed away age 41 in 2006. I have a mortgaged house and am a full time carer and unable to work. We are haveing a terrible time with local neigjbours and the locals in general. We are being victimised and my property and car have been vandleised many times. Neighbours have caused criminal damage to my front door and thrown oblects at our windows. They have trashed my car and written it off in the past. They have let tyres down over night and ruined my windscreen on a previous car by fireing airgun pellets at it. This intimidation has been going on for several years. It has got a point now where it is affecting our lives and our health. We are living here in fear. Just a couple of days ago someone has caused serious damge to the hatchback of my car overnight. Just a few weeks ago someone painted a skull and crossbonesin front of our house. They have thrown things at our windows in the middle of the night. The police cannot take any action because we cant prove who is doing it. I now fear for the safety of myself and my 2 children. I would like to sell my modest house(which needs several repairs) and move into a rented house as i cannot get a mortgage as i am in my 50s and a carer. I have no savings whatsoever. I need around £7.000 to secure a rented place and to pay off some crippling debts. Please could anyone help in any way. We desperately need to move for our sanity and safety. My autistic daughter is suffering because of this and.my son has lost all confidence in himself and is developing depression. Please help in any way you can. I genuinely fear for our safety here.thankyou for takeing the time to read this cry for help. And please contact me if you can help in ANY way. We must get away from here. Peace and God bless you.

I am a 19-year-old student of sociocultural anthropology who also has a strong interest in ecology and the environment. My life's dream is to one day start my own ecotourism company that employs local people in developing nations, encourages responsible and environmental-oriented travel, increases cultural awareness, and gives back to the community. In the past I've been lucky enough to participate in several overseas tours with such companies; I financed my most recent trip by working the night shift in the dairy and frozen foods department of a local supermarket for several months. However, the one nation that I have always dreamed of working in is Zambia: a landlocked nation in southern Africa brimming with diverse landscapes, breathtaking natural beauty, and friendly people. Unfortunately, poverty remains an ongoing problem in some rural parts of this nation. My ultimate goal when visiting Zambia is to communicate with some of the local people in their own languages (I've been studying Bemba and Nyanja) in an attempt to better understand the social, political and economic climate of Zambia, support local lodges, hostels and safari guides, and learn more firsthand about environmental issues in this beautiful and fascinating land. Of course I always prefer to work hard for such travel and research opportunities, and will be perfectly honest when I say that there are many people on this website who need cash donations for reasons far more vital than mine. For a student who is currently unable to find work, I am unsure of how I'd pay for a trip to Zambia at some point next winter. I will continue to search for work and strive towards once again earning the money myself, but if anyone wishes to supplement the costs of my travel with a very small donation, I will certainly be thankful! If I can find 2,000 people who can each give just 50 cents, I will be well on my way towards realizing this dream. Thank you for your time and support!

Of course I always prefer to work hard for such travel and research opportunities, and will be perfectly honest when I say that there are many people on this website who need cash donations for reasons far more vital than mine. For a student who is currently unable to find work, I am unsure of how I'd pay for a trip to Zambia at some point next winter. I will continue to search for work and strive towards once again earning the money myself, but if anyone wishes to supplement the costs of my travel with a very small donation, I will certainly be thankful! If I can find 2,000 people who can each give just 50 cents, I will be well on my way towards realizing this dream. Thank you for your time and support!

I am a 19-year-old student of sociocultural anthropology who also has a strong interest in ecology and the environment. My life's dream is to one day start my own ecotourism company that employs local people in developing nations, encourages responsible and environmental-oriented travel, increases cultural awareness, and gives back to the community. In the past I've been lucky enough to participate in several overseas tours with such companies; I financed my most recent trip by working the night shift in the dairy and frozen foods department of a local supermarket for several months. However, the one nation that I have always dreamed of working in is Zambia: a landlocked nation in southern Africa brimming with diverse landscapes, breathtaking natural beauty, and friendly people.

I am in desperate need of help coming up with the money to pay for major dental care. During my 3rd pregnancy, my teeth and gums went downhill fast and I ended up losing portions of my top teeth while developing gum disease. It started with an abscess tooth which spread to the connecting teeth on each side. Being that I was pregnant, the dentist wouldn't do a whole lot to correct the problem and now I am suffering with an ugly "smile". Actually, I haven't smiled in 6 years and I am embarrassed to even talk to people because they stare at the disaster in my mouth. I have problems getting a job and all I want is to live a normal life again. I am asking for extractions of the top and right side of my mouth which each tooth costing between $80.00 - $120.00. I just cannot afford it. Please help me.
