I need an angel

Posted by Robyn0113 on 2012-05-03 15:58:49

I was in a bad car accident three months, which was not my fault. Since then, my life has been absolute hell. I did not have health insurance at the time, so receiving treatment for my injuries has been almost impossible. I have been told that I will need surgery for my herniated disc, which protruding too closely to my spinal cord. Because of my injuries, I have hardly been able to work, and just recently lost my only source of income because of it. All of my bills are due and I only have $2 to my name. I am at a point in my life where I have little hope left, but I guess I still have some left because I've written this post. All I need is $2,000 and would be willing to sign a promissory note for the loan, which I would repay when I receive my settlement from the car accident. I would be forever grateful......please, I really need an angel right now because I am at my breaking point.

Help me get to the 2012 Disc Golf World Championships!

Posted by StrongHeart on 2012-04-27 15:58:11

I have been invited by the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) to play in the World Championships this year. I am currently registered but now I am worried about not having enough money to make it there. The tournament is in North Carolina and I am from Michigan. This is the first year that I have been invited and would be devastated if a lack of funds prevented me from playing.

My husband has been out of a job for over a year now and we've been struggling to pay mortgage and electric enough as is. I work full time but it's not easy to live off one income. Until he finds a job, for which he is constantly searching, I don't have any extra money in my budget for extras like tournaments but this is such a great opportunity for me.

I need all the help I can get and every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated! I am going to be fundraising locally to help cover the cost of hotel accommodations.

Help support women in disc golf!

Desperate Father/Husband needs a break (even if just $1)

Posted by desperatedad_82 on 2012-02-20 22:58:43

My small family includes my wife and my 19 month old son. I know that Im lucky in many ways because I still have them, but it seems as though everything has been falling apart over the past 6 months. I have always said there's work out there if you want it. I have been a roofer since I was 20 years old. I love roofing (believe it or not) 6 months ago I injured my back and found out I have a bulging disc. Since then, I have not been able to continue roofing, despite many attempts to work slower, take it easy, or work as a helper. I have tried to get jobs at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. Applied at numerous other places. I cant find any job that will even give me a shot because of my back. My credit is now shot, I am just digging myself deeper and deeper in debt, and I have never been this embarrassed in my life. I feel like a failure, but I know that there is something better for me in life than this. Lately my life has been a series of let-downs and disappointments, but I know it will get better eventually. I'm just hoping that there is someone out there that has been through this and got passed it and understands. I'm about $11,000 total in debt, and its only getting worse. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated by my family and I. God bless those who took the time to read this and good luck to those who are in the same boat as me.

Overwhelmed with flood damages and the repair expenses

Posted by ravensrun65 on 2012-01-25 18:58:00

After being away since 1997, I've come back to care for my disabled mother. I myself have degenerative bone and disc disease of the spine. Making it impossible for me to do any of the labor. The building use to be a bar with an apartment upstairs. Due to her disabilities, she lives on the bar level. Years ago they had a porch added, which is partially cantilevered improperly. Someone installed a shower on the bar level, in the process, they cut a main beam rather than get a longer piece of pipe. I'm not able to find out when the unit was installed, but it was long enough ago that now the bar level bathrooms(yes, both mens and ladies rooms are still in there), and the apartment floors are all sloped. If memory serves me, lolly columns should stop/possibly reverse this.
The well is working when it wants to, the water runs, then shuts itself off, anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes later, it comes back on. The furnace had a burned out blower part which I'm paying the bill off, leaving less than $75 cash after covering the expenses of this building each month. And the plumber said it would be close to $200 just to start fixing the well issue. Not even knowing if it is the pump or not.
The weather here is too much for my body without access to hot water therapy. I don't know how long it will be before I can no longer handle the pain in these temps. I am rather desperate for any help at all. I'm 46, single, and have no one to help me without paying hefty fee's. This building is in dire need of repairs. If anyone could please find it in their heart to help two women that have no one to lend a hand...PLEASE HELP?
Thank you for reading and have an outstanding day!

Help with rent

Posted by brel_12 on 2012-01-24 13:58:38

Mine is a long story, so I am going to try to keep it on the short side.

When my wife and I got married she had twin daughters, both with severe handicaps. After we were married for about 5 years Ashley passed away. We were living about 7 hours from where my wife was from and she wanted her final resting place to be near her "home". We moved here to be closer to my wifes family and nearer to Ashley. Shortly after we moved here, I was taken out of work for health reasons. Then Courtney passed away. After paying for 2 funerals in a short time and not working, hard times hit us hard. I got a job against my doctors wishes. My wife got a job for a short time until she was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, now she can't work. So for the past year we have some how been getting by with my income (barely over minimum wage).

So now with some unexpected bills for car trouble and medical bills, we are in need of help for our rent.

There is more to our story and if you want to know more, feel free to ask. But that is the basic part of it.

The amount that I need is $560, but anything would help right now


Thanks for reading this

Bryan







Without hope

Posted by mycologyluvr on 2012-01-12 20:58:06

I am 38 yr old mother of 3 married for 17 yrs. Been with spouse 19 yrs total. Spouse is an alcoholic. I'm a disabled high school drop out with a GED. This past year spouse destroyed our marriage yet I'm stuck in this hell with no way out. I can't get disability or SSI. I have no income, savings or any way to support my kids. When I told spouse I wanted a divorce he was going to walk away & leave me with no way to pay the rent or utilities. Can't afford an attorney can't afford anything to be honest. I depend upon him for income. My list of health problems began at age 17 & have continued to compile since. Can not be treated for my medical conditions due to my hypersensitivity to prescription medications & allergies to opiates & codeine. My existence is utterly miserable!! I need a way out of this hell. Everyone deserves to be happy even me. I have to provide stability to my children so I live a lie day to day pretending to be his partner friend & lover. Honestly it is enough to make one have no desire to live. I am trapped in hell with 3 kids. I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, herniated T11-12, chronic tendinitis of the groin, eczema. I have very bad allergies with frequent allergic reactions to things in my environment and have no idea what they are. I will be allergy tested next week. The week after I start testing for lupus & kidney disease if nothing is found on scope test of my bladder. I stay sick get many things at one time & it takes me much longer to recover than normal people. There has to be a way out of this with some dignity. I was told by an SSI rep that I am one of those people that just falls through the cracks. There has to be hope for us down here for Christ sake there has to be

Getting a divorce from habitual liar. HELP!

Posted by ThisFamilyNeedsHelp on 2011-12-06 13:58:11

Please help! 37 year old mother of a 5 yr old and a 12 yr old is getting a divorce from my habitual liar husband. I thought I married the man I would spend the rest of my life with, I had planned on only doing it once. I do not work right now. I was doing hair when we met and he wanted me to quit and stay home with our son until he started school. I saw that our relationship was heading downhill and not getting any better and decided I need to go back to school to finish my Bachelor degree in Business Management. I am hoping to finish up by July or October of next year, 2012. I want to open my own business so I can support my wonderful children and give them the things they need and some of the things they want. My 2 children and I, along with our 2 small dogs, had to move in with my mother, uncle, grandmother, and brother. We have been here for a year on Dec 10th and have been separated from my husband that long. He has given me very little money for support in the past year, spent all the tax return, took out a loan on my previously paid off vehicle and spent that money, and ended up getting me in trouble with a bad check to our previous landlord. We had a 2007 Dodge Ram Quad cab, I was primary on the loan, he was secondary, and he said he was trading it in for a Chevy Equinox, better gas mileage and cheaper payments. this was 3 months ago. I am now realizing, how can you trade in a vehicle when the other person on the loan never signed the papers? So now I have people calling me saying they are coming after me for the Dodge truck. I have no clue what I'm going to have to or be able to do on that.

He put a bunch of our stuff in storage when we separated, we moved to Missouri with my mom and he moved in with a friend in Iowa and then LOST it, so I don't have a lot of stuff I've worked for and had before we even met. The list of stuff he lost...5 seat sectional with chaise lounger, 37" flat screen tv, PS2 and about 12 games, Wii and 2 games, new surround sound, 5 disc stereo system, new bluray player, box of my season dvds like Smallville, Friends, One Tree Hill and ER, a huge box of my Disney VHS that I had been collecting since high school, nice new short entertainment center, 2 end tables, 2 lamps, washer and dryer, refrigerator, tall dining table with chairs, vacuum, electric can opener, butcher block knife set, corelware dishes, stainless steel pots and pan set, toaster, king bed, bookcase, desk, riding lawnmower, 2 weed eaters, etc. I probably could keep going.

I'm living on the good will and love my family offers and my small student loan refunds. I get NO child support. I am looking to pay off $15,000 in student loans, the $6200 loan on my Tahoe, the $1100 bad check and a couple hundred in lawyer fees, and the $1,400 Target Visa he ran up and let go bad. I need 4 new tires, an alignment, and a new windshield on the Tahoe. I would like to build my children and I a house in the next 3-4 years.

My goals...
~ Finish my BSBA in Management, end of 2012.
~ Thinking about getting my MBA.
~ Open my business, if you are interested I can tell you about it. Looking for potential investors. Working toward fall of 2012, may have to be fall of 2013.
~ Build my kids and I a house, which my mother will eventually come live with us. Right now she is taking care of my grandmother. If my business takes off like I foresee, I would like to build as I have the money so I don't have a mortgage, or put 50% down and get a loan for the rest.
~Be happy in life!

I am an honest Christian woman and I believe that the bills should be paid first BEFORE you go out and blow any money on luxuries such as eating out. He eats out a lot!

If you find it in your heart to help me out, please send me a note with how you would like for me to use the money, 3 choices as there will hopefully be others who can help me, and I can send you proof that that bill was paid. This is new to me and my first attempt at "cyberbegging", which has taken all I have. I am proud and have done many things on my own, so it is very humiliating for me to have to take this route.

I would assume your donation is tax deductible, but you will have to check on that.

If this works for me, I will give back and help out others who need it.

God Bless you and your family. Happy Holidays!

I am a recently single mom of 4 intelligent children. Their school is 40 miles away from home with no bus transportation available. Each day it costs me roughly $15 in gas. I am currently out on disability for degenerative disc disease of the back and neck and also Bipolar Disorder. My children's education is the most important thing to me. They attend a five star magnet school and are all AB Honor Roll students. I am supporting a family of 5 on $871 which is my disability check and $451 from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Everywhere I apply for help, I get doors slammed in my face because I do receive my SSDI benefits. If I were a lazy person who had never worked a day in my life, I would be doing much better off. I would be getting housing assistance and aide in trying to collect child support from my children's sperm donor. (I cannot consider him a father, because fathers take care of their children.) I do not have any close family who can help me, so I have to rely on the kindness of strangers and friends at school. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that between donations and selling plasma, that I may be able to make ends meet this month.

Dog in need

Posted by sarahsmom on 2011-08-15 14:58:40

I understand this is not as serious as people losing their homes, but maybe there is a dog lover out there???

My Sarah ruptured a disc in her neck this morning. Surgery will be up to $5,000. We had a loss in the family yesterday, and to lose Sarah too would be entirely too much for any of us to handle right now. She is family too. We can scrape $1,500, but will be $3,500 short to get her help. That $1,500 gets chipped away every day we have to get her injected with pain killers (She isn't eating because of her meds, which are all injectable because with a neck injury, we can't force them either.)

She is only 2 years old. We got her off the street in January and spent the next 4 months getting her healthy. She just now started coming out of her shell and being a happy dog. It isn't fair what life has dealt her so far. The prognosis after surgery is very good or else we would never attempt it.


IF we can find some benevolent people that can help us, and IF we end up with more than we need, we will gladly return $$ or if you prefer, donate the balance with proof back to you, to a local rescue.

This is a shot in the dark, I know. Thank you for reading.

Recently Single Mom needs help

Posted by Mistyhugs4u on 2011-07-22 04:58:20

I am a single mom to 3 kids age 13-8 we came for a visit to see the kids grandparents and my youngest dad called me and told me not to come back. After 8 years of dealing with his medical problems and his drinking addiction. Anyways we are starting over with nothing I do not even have a vehicle a friend came and got me and we were only suppost to be spending the weekend with their grandparents. I have horrible credit due to having fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, IBS, osteoarthritis, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic migraines & depression. I have not worked since 2002 when I was injured at work and had to sue the company but by the time I paid Medicaid back & the lawyer I got a whole $4000 and a surgery that has left me with a permanent handicap due to it never healing right. We are staying with my parents but need are own place ASAP, my youngest daughter needs size 7/8 clothes, my oldest daughter needs 14/16 in shirts and size 3 in jrs. & we desperately need a bed we are sleeping on air mattresses and the queen size one has so many holes in it that it deflates every nite and I end up waking up on a concrete floor. My ultimate dream would be to have a tempurpedic mattress but would settle for any kind of new bed I can not ask for one on freecycle because my parents are worried about bed bugs getting into their house are state has had a bad outbreak of them. I also REALLY need a LAWYER the only income I have is my daughters social security check and I have a LOT of debt and I need 2 file for bancruptcy since I see no other way of digging myself out of the hole. I also will need to find out if I am considered common law married and what I need to do to make sure I have custody of my daughter and her alcoholic father can't get her. If you have read this all the way to the finish Thank You!

Help a Mum in Need

Posted by jessicateige on 2011-06-01 17:58:32

I'm brand new to this type of thing. I had to make the conscious decision that I'm not too proud to ask for help. I've actually made a great deal of personal progress in the past year, crawling out of what felt like a hopeless bottom. Homeless, jobless, and without my children, I would easily characterize my situation as "hitting rock bottom". Some people find themselves in such a situation as a result of addition or mental illness. For me, it was both.
I'm bipolar with degenerative disc disease. Years of chronic pain led to a dependence on pain killers that I feared I'd never escape. So it is with a great sense of accomplishment that I can proudly say I've been drug free for over 13 months. As I have learned to live with some degree of pain, I've re-dedicated myself to staying on the medication that manages my bipolar. Most people will never understand how I could be so determined to take one pill but not another. Acceptance of my mental illness and the consequential pharmacological regimen is not easy. I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, and it still wasn't easy. It is because of my children that I have accepted this destiny, for lack of a better word. I will not take the easy way out, I will push forward to rebuild my life and carve a future that my family can be proud of. But for now, I'm facing the world all alone. My children I see on weekends until I can provide a home they deserve. And I will get there, because I believe it.
So here I am, searching desperately for a job, yet trying to stay positive and remember how far I've come. I ask for help in getting through this rough patch. I just need help in paying rent. It's amazing what $500 would mean to me. That's all I need. I look forward to a time when I can pay it forward, as all good deeds should be.
Thanks, Jessica.

A Little Help Please, Thank you

Posted by Rambodave on 2011-04-21 01:58:08

I need help to pay bills. I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs. I have just had some bad luck the last few years. Feb 1997 I suffered a back injury at work and my life spiraled out of control Any amount of money or financial assistance would be appreciated.I am struggling to survive.

The Short story; of how I got where I am today.
I was living fine, working two jobs full time construction work, and a paid on call Fire Fighter, I had a Great income. Life was good.
then in Feb 1997 I suffered a back injury at work and my life spiraled out of control. I was diagnosed with degenerative disk diseases. A condition were my disc between my vertebrae are Dissolving, so no cushion between my bones and they rub and pinch my nerves, causing me sever back pain.
Then came the Debit, The Repossessions, the Foreclosure, my wife left me taking my kids while I was still in the hospital, we Divorce, and then I was homeless all within 6 short months after my injury. My income would never be the same.
Since then I have struggled to get a job to support my garnishments and medical bills. The IRS take 75% after tax, and my Student loan demands 25%, of my income. well you can do the math. To make matters even worse, because the garnishment is not the full payment they damand, THE STATE Add interest charges so I will never get ahead.
things have gotten so bad that, I am essentially homeless. I am staying between friends houses only to sleep and take showers. i had to let my car insurance laps which worries me alot, and the most of my money goes to food, and gas to dirve to jobs/shelters or friends, it also seconds as my room for the night sometimes.I am taking whatever light work jobs that comes my way just to eat.

PLEASE I need help. im at the end of my rope.

ill take any job abvove $15 per hr to cover garnishments, or some donation, im not picky. I Do have skills just no job wanting a disable person to work for them.

Can anyone please help me.

HAD SOME HARD LUCK, HELP ME PLEASE

I need help to pay bills. I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs. I have just had some bad luck the last few years. Feb 1997 I suffered a back injury at work and my life spiraled out of control Any amount of money or financial assistance would be appreciated.I am struggling to survive.

The Short story; of how I got where I am today.
I was living fine, working two jobs full time construction work, and a paid on call Fire Fighter, I had a Great income. Life was good.
then in Feb 1997 I suffered a back injury at work and my life spiraled out of control. I was diagnosed with degenerative disk diseases. A condition were my disc between my vertebrae are Dissolving, so no cushion between my bones and they rub and pinch my nerves, causing me sever back pain.
Then came the Debit, The Repossessions, the Foreclosure, my wife left me taking my kids while I was still in the hospital, we Divorce, and then I was homeless all within 6 short months after my injury. My income would never be the same.
Since then I have struggled to get a job to support my garnishments and medical bills. The IRS take 75% after tax, and my Student loan demands 25%, of my income. well you can do the math. To make matters even worse, because the garnishment is not the full payment they damand, THE STATE Add interest charges so I will never get ahead.
things have gotten so bad that, I am essentially homeless. I am staying between friends houses only to sleep and take showers. i had to let my car insurance laps which worries me alot, and the most of my money goes to food, and gas to dirve to jobs/shelters or friends, it also seconds as my room for the night sometimes.I am taking whatever light work jobs that comes my way just to eat.

PLEASE I need help. im at the end of my rope.

ill take any job abvove $15 per hr to cover garnishments, or some donation, im not picky. I Do have skills just no job wanting a disable person to work for them.

Can anyone please help me.

Please Help Disabled

What the future may bring

I know there are others in great need and I encourage you to evaluate those needs first before me. Having said that, I still need help with resources. I am 50 yr. old who has spent his life raising his kids with his lovely wife. Unfortunately, there are needs now that cannot be met and I have nothing for their future. We have a nice home, we pay our mortgage and meet our financial challenges on a daily basis. Needless to say, we are paycheck to paycheck and no savings.
Now for the future. Our dream is to find the resource to procure the attached property around us and develop a campground. In turn, we should be able to offer summer work for some of the local kids creating a few jobs. Though I do have degenerative disc disease compounded with two bulging discs and the arthritis that comes along with it, I remain very active and can develop this property pretty much myself with clean up and improvements. I need a total of $100k to obtain the land and cover expense for some needed equipment. Big request, I know, but I grew up with nothing and I don't want this same struggle for my kids. Thank you so much for your consideration.

My shame knows no bounds, but I have to try something.

Hello all,

My name is Elizabeth, but I go by my middle name Kelly. I am a 38 year old disabled woman (degenerative disc disease, two back surgeries, one abdominal surgery). I current live in El Cajon, California and due to painful reasons I cannot voice, I must move NOW. I am trying to move up to the Bay Area as I have family and friends there.

I have saved $10,000 of my own money, but I need another $10,000 ASAP. I have found land on which to build a home. The land is $9700 for a .27 acre lot. No, that's not a joke. There are about 26 lots available within a sixty mile radius of San Francisco that are listed at/or below $25,000. While I am building, I intend to live in an RV. It's the most cost effective way to move right NOW and have a home of my own for the first time in my life. I have found a suitable and well priced RV for sale. The dealership has agreed to knock another $2000 off, so after fees and taxes, it would be $11,000.

First problem: My credit has been destroyed over the last three years due to medical bills that I put on credit cards (those financial issues are resolved, but still took their toll on my credit). All of my efforts to obtain any kind of financing have now been exhausted. My credit report is actually the lesser of the issues. It's the fact that I'm disabled, on a fixed income, and have no idea when or if I can return to work (I have requested clearance to return to work and have been denied repeatedly by three different doctors). This presents the biggest concern for lenders despite the fact that how little I need to borrow would constitute a monthly payment of only 17% of my income. It makes no difference if the loan is for the land or the RV. I am considered too much of an "unknown risk." And to answer an obvious question, yes my family has already pitched in as much as they can.

Second problem: With the $10,000 I have, I can either buy the land outright, or buy the RV outright, but not both. If I buy the land, I have no way to live on it. If I buy the RV, I have no place to park it to live in it. So, I am throwing my pride out the window and I'm asking for help. If you can and are willing to help, I would be extremely grateful. Every single dollar counts... So, if a dollar is all you can spare, I would still be just as grateful. At the point at which I own the land and the RV (and my car, which is paid off) this will be just enough collateral for a bank to loan me the $45,000 I will need for the cabin kit (it's a small cabin that comes to you in pieces and you put it together yourself.... think Ikea on a much larger scale, and much better quality; it is about $18,000), and the rest of the bank loan would be to connect to utilities and lay a foundation.

I want to make it clear that I am only asking for enough help to get me up to the Bay Area... 10K total. Once I have the minimum I need, this post will come down. I'm not asking for any more than I need to get the land and the RV at the same time. I'm not asking for ANY of the money I will need to build my home and connect to utilities. I can and want to take responsibility for that myself. I'm only asking for the kick-start I need... I've saved half my start up on my own. I need help for the last push to get me to my personal "Promised Land."

Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my situation... I hope that one day, when I am financially established again, I will have the means to come back here and help others the way I was helped in my time of need.

Kelly
