Want to open a cafe

Posted by Cafe_Dream2012 on 2012-01-25 00:58:37

Our dream has been to open a cafe in Cambodia to assist in getting the street kids and trafficked women off the street and into a safe and stable environment. We can do this with your help.

We have worked hard but are always coming up short.
We need to be able to rent a place and buy equipment and products to get the ball rolling.

Every little helps.

We need to raise $20,000 to make this dream a reality.

We already have $8,262 saved, but yet it's not enough.

Please, please dig deep if you can afford it.

Thank you in advance.

Veteran down with the times.

Posted by ChrisB on 2011-12-14 00:58:23

I would like to start out by saying, "this was/is my last resort". I never
looked down on others that ask for help because most of the time I was the
helper. However, now I am sitting behind this smoke screen in desperation. I
am a single mother of an 8 year old growing boy and currently working two
jobs to make ends meet. A few years ago I made a purchase on a vehicle that
was a big bad mistake and definetly a life lesson after reading Dave
Ramsey's book. My payment, fuel and insurance is 33% of my monthly income. I
am upside down in my payments along with trying to keep up with student

loans and other monthly expenses. I would be the first to admit I made a
dumb choice and I am trying to dig myself out of this deep financial hole. I
am not one to take without giving something in return. I will defenitely pay
it forward in some way to others by doing a good deed for someone else. It
saddens me to have to come to this but this is my cry out for help. Thank
you so much for taking time to read my message. Soldier iN Need of a little
help!

out of the city

Posted by Cianna on 2011-12-13 23:58:12

i don't have nothing and I don't want much that s city offers-I and my sons want to farm on our own land-even 10 acre would do-and have a home-then we want to grow food-healthy old fashioned food to help our neighbors and ourselves-and whoever needs it-any one need to unload a farm somewhere so we can dig in-
Thanks for listening-and also we would take old people in who have no where else to go

Please Help

Posted by sandieb on 2011-12-10 15:58:42

The medical bills keep coming.

We got in over our heads when we had to use our credit cards to meet deductibles plus the 20% we owed as part of medical expenses.

All this due to cancer.

Which I still have.

I was diagnosed in 1997.

I am desperate and sorry to be doing this.

If I could work outside the home, I would. My health does not allow me too. I applied for government assistance and was denied.

I quit working to become a stay-at-home-mother and because of that my social security disability credits expired.

We have been making late payments on everything: including mortgage, utilities, and of course, the credit card.

We live frugally. We do not have any luxuries. No iPads, iPhones, or fancy toys.

Our two cars are quite old and paid for, but keep giving us EXPENSIVE trouble.

There doesn't seem to be any end to pit that we were "forced" to dig because of my cancer and the endless bills.

I even had to go without medical insurance last year for six months. I was terrified, but we simply did not have the money to make the insurance premiums. I went without medications and medical care.

My heart is heavy with sorrow.

My husband works hard, but unfortunately, just does not make a lot of money. He tries. Bless his heart.

I would be so grateful for any amount you feel you could give.

Thank-you for reading this and considering a good and generous deed.

Medical Emergency - Bills - out of control

Posted by Medicalurgent on 2011-11-18 21:58:18

Medical bills are topping $60,000.00. I am negotiating with the hospital, Dr.'s, Surgens, etc.

I am unemployed, with no insurance. Have never been sick and suddenly had a Gall Bladder attack. I have already exhausted my savings. I am not looking for a free ride, but need some serious help.

We already lost our home and jobs to the economy and are living in our camper. We travel looking for work in parks, or during municipal events (directing traffic, trash pick up, etc.) We have been getting by up to this point, however, this is a real set back.

Please dig deep into your heart and help a Vet that has worked hard for the past 30 years.

Need $500 for rent and food

Posted by downtownmommy on 2011-09-22 20:58:36

I'm a single mother of 3 and my ex-husband is doing everything in his power to not help us. I've been doing okay for a while but all my savings has been depleted. I downsized my expenses by selling my car, moving to a smaller place, finding a closer job to home so I can walk, no cable (thank God for free wifi). I've actually set us up to begin to dig out of this hole I found us in.

The thing is everything is so new, I started my new job and moved within the same week. I had enough money to cover moving cost and purchase uniforms for my kids new, public, school. Two weeks later and rents due and I haven't got my first pay check and I need to buy food for my kids.

All I'm begging for is $500 to get us through this first new month of our lives.

Thanks

Please help me

Posted by pleasepleasehelp on 2011-09-17 14:58:22

I am new to the whole beg online but I thougth what the heck.
I am young and need some help to dig myself out of my medical debt and maybe hopefully get enough extra to get a car and go back to school to have more money. I have tallied it up and I need around 5,000 but every little bit helps. I am struggling to hold my head above water. If you can find it in your heart to donate to me it will be greatly appreciated and every little bit does help. Thanks again

Desperate for help of any kind

Posted by Desperateforhelp on 2011-09-15 13:58:41

I have been trying to dig myself out of my hole for awhile now. I do have a job now that offers no benefits. I really need help to take care of my debt. I have a ton of debt from doctor bills from having no health insurance. To get health insurance for myself it will cost me more then half what I make a year and I just can't afford that. I really need to get a car. I have never owned one. I have talked to dealerships and they have told me that I need 3,000 down and a co-signer... All because I have bad credit and that will be the best way to help my credit. Also if I have a car I can go back and forth to college. I would really like to be a deaf interpreter... I already know asl, I just need to go to college and get certified before anyone will hire me. I keep trying to get ahead and I am always hitting a brick wall. So please if you can help it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading my rambling.

save my home need $2000

Posted by bryanterry on 2011-09-06 20:58:49

I've like millions of others got caught in the crosshairs of this economic decline. On top of that impact I was left to save my home when wife of 17 years left;within a year i got deathly ill and was at local hospital ICU a month and a rehab Hospital a 2nd month, both in Ga, A spinal infection precipitated 4 minor stokes which in turn cost me my fulltime employment as a college instructor. I had served in Viet Nam and returned injured only to lose benefits due my new found anti-war position.
Like everyone else i finally got SSI and very small disability stipend.
Now each month my country dream home becomes a smaller prison as I struggle against the foreclosure monster. My mortgage equals my SSI so electric bills, medical bills, car insurance. (1985 Nisson) get juggled if im well enough to earn extra.
It's a long story but they all are.
I have a couple of creative projects with potential but my fear and day to day struggle drain me. I ve written most of a unique stage play/rock musical working title "God died in 66". An investment in the work would be considered{was in 1969 Chicago cast of Hair,as well as movies such as LeoFrank on GPS tonite }.
I am however begging for your help at this point. $2000 will dig me out of this financial grave

My Brother's Wedding

Posted by mybrotherswedding on 2011-09-04 00:58:12

My brother is getting married 8,500 miles away this December. My husband, my son and I would love to attend, but we can't save fast enough.

Four years ago, my husband married me even though I was in crushing debt. He's never been in debt -- ever. He took on my liabilities, made them ours. He is helping me dig myself out of that hole. Then he lost his job teaching art in the public school system -- in this economy, these are the jobs that are being cut, and no one's hiring. For someone who's always worked, being un/underemployed just sucks. So we moved in with his mother, just so we had a fighting chance. I do have a job, and he was able to find a part-time job, but we can't support ourselves fully, pay off our debt, and still save fast enough in time for the wedding. We do our best, we have never been extravagant. We were this close to finally climbing out of this hole ... but then, last month, we got hit with this ruthless dental bill.

To make matters worse, my husband and his mother are making each other crazy, and she has given us an ultimatum to get out of her house -- March 2012.

In the meantime, my brother's wedding is fast approaching. We can't afford to attend AND move out if we are still in debt when we get on that plane. Not without your help.

We've tried to do things right -- take personal responsibility, pay off our debt, not take on more, raise our kid ourselves ... but there seems to be some conspiracy against allowing us to get our heads above water. I have never been debt-free in all of my adult life, and I have never begged either.

But it is time. For both.

Help us, pleeeeez!!!

The airfare is about $1,500 apiece. That's $4500 for the three of us. On Coach. It's not much, but it's more than we can scrape together by December. The balance on my credit cards is down from thirty grand to $4,000. Only with God's grace, my husband's big heart and my commitment to my husband and son have I managed to bring it down that much! But we still need to get rid of it before we can move out.

Anything we receive over $8500 will go towards getting out of my MIL's house. My husband needs a break, and she deserves her house back.

Please, whatever you can ...

Help save my mother's house! Any help appreciated

Posted by BladeOfdirt on 2011-08-14 16:58:25

Hello,
My name is Richard. Recently my step-father passed away, leaving my mother alone. My step-father was disabled with scoliosis, so he received a disability check once a month which came to around $700. My mother is also disabled with some sort of bad arthritis disease. I'm sorry I cannot remember the exact name, but years ago they had to place metal plates in her knees and was wheelchair bound for a few years, but can now get around with only a cane. So she also recieved a disability check, but hers was only around $400 a month.

Well, after my step-father passed away back on July 2nd, 2011. She no longer received his disability checks, and where as her own disability check can cover almost 90% of the house payment, that leaves her with no spending money at all. No money for all of her medications and food.

Since she is disabled, she receives very few food stamps. Since she can never work, the government feels it appropriate that she only receives $45 a month in food stamps. That's not enough for an entire month, and also considering the only stores around here are the big name ones, like wal-mart and kroger.

After my step-father passed away, I was laid off from work, again, from a company called Unifacs. Now the first time I was laid off, I received unemployment. This year, they came back and hired me back in, but this time it only lasted for 2 month before they laid everyone off again, so because of the short period, I do not quality for unemployment this time. I have searched for over a month for work, anywhere. I have over 45 applications floating around my area, and about that amount in online applications as well.

I never really had a problem finding work before, until now. Times have for sure changed. They hire these 16 year olds before hiring me for some reason. Only thing I can guess is they know a 16 year old could turn that job into his career, whereas someone like me who is qualified in many fields, will only work there until better work comes along.

So basically, this is what I am needing help with. This month, August, my mother had to dig into her house payment for cat/dog food, her own food, cigarettes (i know, I've tried to get her to stop), fuel, and many other things. It's only halfway through the month and both of us are completely broke and both fear losing the house.

So any help, whether it be $1 or more, will be much, much appreciated. Even if the donator has some sort of volunteer work that they need some sort of help with, I'd be very glad to help.

Tuition

Posted by inneedofhelp on 2011-06-27 11:58:56

I am middle aged & never thought I would be in this situation. My unemployment expired last year & I've struggled to maintain some semblance of a normal life. I've streamlined every aspect of my life & returned to school by taking out loans to get a paralegal certificate. It was difficult but I managed to get a 3.7 GPA at UMASS. I can't get financial aid in the summer & I'd like to take one course to get me closer to my goal. I still use dial up on my pc because I can't afford broadband. I am 2 months behind on my phone bill as well as my rent. I buy minimal groceries & have paid off 3 credit cards from my unemployment. I am trying & had an interview last week but it is very difficult with age discrimination to find work. All I need is ONE job and I will dig myself out of this whole but I can't get a break. The course would cost $1080 which includes rgistration fee. I hate doing this more than I can express but I've found over the last few years that there are many things I never thought I would do & now find that I must if I want to survive this never ending crisis.

I'm just struggling to become a credentialed professional with DVM after my name and live a normal life and join hands with a world full of happy people of all walks of life and help them keep the animals that make them comfortable healthy.

Military Family in Need of Help

Posted by benjibabies3 on 2011-06-02 20:58:22

I want to start off with letting you know that this is very embarrassing to ask for help from strangers but I don't know what else to do. So here it goes.
My husband is in the Army and we have 3 amazing kids ages 9, 7 and 2. We have been married for almost 13 years and have what I like to call "The Picture Perfect Family".
We have recently gotten deep into debt and can't find a way out. This is a last resort to help dig us out.
I have not been able to find work since being stationed in El Paso, everywhere that I have tried requires you to know Spanish, which I do not. I have done babysitting to bring in money but the families that I worked for all moved with the military. Our money is gone as soon as it hits the bank going out to bills and not all of the bills get paid, they just keep adding up. When we think that we are finally getting caught up we get knocked back down again.
My Dad just passed away in January and we had to take out a military loan so that we could fly home. They automatically take out $200 a paycheck and that sets us back even further. Our mortgage check bounced along with two other bills so we have fee upon fee for those.That was just this month and doesn't count the others. The list just goes on and on.
I finally swallowed my pride and went to a food bank last week so that our kids had a warm meal only to be humiliated by the staff that worked there. I was told that since my husband is in the military that we should be financially able to pay our bills and not need a handout. Yes, we do get medical insurance and a steady paycheck but it isn't much. I have sold every unused item in our house and more. I have pawned every piece of gold that I owned and anything else of value. I have taken most of our kids toys to the consignment shop along with most of my clothes.
I am overwhelmed and don't know what to do. If you could help in any way our family would greatly appreciate it. Your help would go towards food for our family and hopefully some catch up on at least our utility bills.
We do not smoke, drink or do drugs. We are a kind and honest family.
Thank you for your time.

When it Rains, it Pours...

Posted by workingmommy on 2011-05-23 18:58:31

Hello. I am a teacher and mother of an adorable little girl, who happens to have a language delay and sensory processing disorder. After a Christmas plagued by car troubles (we drive her an hour twice a week for therapy), we took out a payday loan. One loan led to another, and then my husband's mother died unexpectedly, which worsened our financial situation as well. We're working with a credit counselor, but the fees are still going to eat up our next couple of paychecks. I am looking for some money to help with the bills, so that we can dig ourselves out of this mess.

Thank you!

How I'll Become Homeless...

Posted by VFowler on 2011-04-06 19:58:46

I'm a 24 year old female currently living in a friend's dorm room. His lease ends in May, and that will be the day I become homeless. I've put in job applications everywhere and nobody's gotten back to me, and I still have a single bill that I've yet to pay off... the time is ticking, and I couldn't think of anything else to do.

I'm pretty sure nobody reads these things, but this is my last shot at doing something for myself and getting out of the rut that will inevitably leave me homeless in one month. Here's a story that shows just how terrible gaming addictions can become and how much harder it is to dig yourself out of a hole that only deepens by the day with no hope of escape.

In 2007, I began playing World of Warcraft on my crappy laptop (which at the time had been a great piece of machinery). It started out innocently enough. I had real life friends who played the game and I'd wanted to know what it was all about so I bought and installed it. I was instantly hooked in the world, and made some friends that I talk with even to this day. I went through several guilds before I finally found the one I thought I would enjoy. I began spending endless amounts of time in the game, engrossing myself in it. I quit all of my outside activities and all of my hobbies revolved around getting in the game and playing it until the wee hours of the morning. I would come to work sleepy and dislike everyone around me. After the first two years I fell into an odd depression that could only be quelled by, what I thought, was WoW. By the time 2010 rolled around I had been living in four different places IRL, bumming from one place to the other in order to have more game time. I hadn't had a job, I hadn't even looked for one.

Eventually, in September of 2010, I'd had enough. While I want to blame the game for everything wrong I've done in my life, I can only blame myself for letting it get so bad. I could have shut it off at any time, but I didn't. I could have listened to everyone who told me what I was turning into, but I hadn't. My parents had driven from Illinois to Cleveland, Ohio to bring me back home. It was the opening for a new beginning that I thought would get me back on the path of redemption... but it was only the start of a larger nightmare. Between an internet addiction and an unquenchable withdraw from a lack of a game I could no longer play for fear of losing the roof over my head, I managed to find a job at a local gas station.. but that wasn't enough for my parents. They held my misgivings over my head constantly and for every one thing I did right, twenty things were wrong. After I forgot to do the dishes for the fourth time that month, my internet connection had been taken away.

Instead of taking this as a queue to get away and start my life anew, I fell deeper into depression. Withdraw took over and I used the library computers for an hour or two a day before I went to work to keep in touch with the friends I'd been cut off from. Eventually I'd put enough money together to get my own internet connection and had told my father that the Comcast guys were going to come over to install it. He'd been fine with it though knew my mother would throw a fit. A week later, the internet guys installed my box and left. The internet worked for an hour then shot out. When I told my father that the guys had to come back to re-install whatever they had forgotten to do, he'd thrown a fit about people "drilling holes in his wall, and walking into HIS home", and refused to acknowledge that I'd ever had the conversation with him in the first place. This sent me into a panic attack that ended in a night of hospitalization.

While I was in the hospital I had told the doctor while in tears that I didn't wish to see my parents while I was being treated because they were the reason I was in the situation I was in. While they had not physically harmed me, I was in no mental state to deal with their accusations anymore (which my father had yelled and argued with me the entire way to the hospital already). When they'd finally discharged me, I had found out that I had been abandoned at the hospital with no way home; I'd called a good friend to take me home.

The next day, I was told via text that I was no longer welcome in my parents' home.

While trying with everything I could not to lose my mind for a second time, I made as many phone calls as I could. Nobody could help me. Finally, my sister had offered me a place to stay in her friends' dorm room for a day or two just to make sure that I wasn't left on the street. As if by an act of God, an old friend from high school came into my life and offered me a place at his dorm room until I was able to get back on my feet. I now live two hours away from where "home" used to be, and am typing from my computer here. I had to leave the only stable job I'd had in 2 years to come here and getting back on my feet is proving harder than I could've ever imagined. I've had job interviews with no luck and I don't have enough money to put a down payment on an apartment in the area. If I don't find a solution by May 1st, I -will- be homeless.

I wish I could blame everything I've done on my gaming, and the internet, but as said before, it was my own stupidity that has landed me in this situation. Mental addictions are harder to break than physical ones and even now, 6 months after quitting World of Warcraft, every part of me still wants to go back to it, to get back the comfort of living in another world that it used to give me. The only thing that seems to break the feeling and keep it down is a cigarette; cheapest pack available, mind you. The point I'm trying to make is that gaming addictions can be dangerous, all consuming, and deadly. Someday I may write a paper on all the effects of letting yourself succumb to the beautiful world of anonymity and pixels... but here isn't the place to do that.

This is my last ditch effort to get out of the hole I've dug myself into. Today I offer you my heart and soul, and everything I have left that (Thank God) hasn't disintegrated along with everything else I used to be good at.

Thanks for reading. Hope you guys have a fantastic rest of your week.

I never thought I would be in this situation. A little over a year ago I had an emergency surgery that kept me out of work for 6 weeks. As a result I maxed out all of my credit cards and started getting payday loans to keep my bills current.

Now I am drowning in the payday loan cycle. I don't know what else to do. I can not get a loan because my DTI is too high and I can't afford to pay anything off because of the payday loan fees that keep piling up.

If you can spare even $1 dollar to help me I would appreciate it greatly. I just want to dig myself out of this hole and have a better future.

Thank you so much
