My car is used to travel to and from work and my employment depends largely on transportation.
The economy is bad its more expensive riding the bus in this region and I am asking for monetary donations to help pay to fix my car With the current state of the economy, it's become even more important to be able to ask for assistance in my time of need.
My goal is to raise $900 to help pay for my car.
Will you please consider a monetary donation to this project Your donation may be used as a tax deduction.

Please Donate whatever you can to help me get this

I have always led a good and honest life. I was married for 17 years. When my Grandmother became ill, I felt it was my duty to take care of her. So, I quit my job to take care of her full time and we moved into her home, while my husband continued to work and support our 4 children and I.
A year ago she passed away and my husband after finding out there was nothing in her will and the house was under because of a reverse mortgage, he divorced me and abandoned our children.
I have been working part time at a large retailer, doing my best to keep us a float. But now the bank is selling the house we have been living in. I can't find any full time work and I have 4 children in school. I don't have enough money to make a deposit on a new apartment, and have only been surviving so far because of the graces of my church fellowship and friends.
I am just looking for some help to get us back on our feet. To allow me to make a deposit and get us moved and maybe put some newer clothes on my children.
For my part, I promise to keep working and looking for full time work. If I find a full time job and make enough to survive, I promise to become a donor here for another needy family.

Dear Selfless Donor,

My name is Carol and I am a college grad facing extremely difficult times. Like many others, I have not been guaranteed success and steady employment after college. After living with my parents and endlessly floating from minimum wage job to another in a small rural town with no opportunities, I decided to take control of my life, take a risk, and move back to Philadelphia for more opportunities. I have finally landed a wonderful, amazing job in my field of marketing, but I just started so I won't be getting a paycheck for a few weeks, and I have no money left and nothing else to sell. I need to pay rent in order to continue on with my newfound career, and I am drowning in debt. I have over a hundred grand in student loan debt and am about to default; both of my bank accounts are negative several hundred dollars due to fees and returned payments from not having the funds; I also have credit card debt from having to resort to using only plastic due to lack of money to pay for things like transportation, food, and other bills like my cell phone, which is the most basic prepaid phone and plan possible. I am overwhelmed and my stress and worry level is so high, it interferes with my health, social life, and keeps me from being able to focus in my new work completely. I have panic attacks, nervous breakdowns, and crying fits daily and I have exhausted all options aside from anything immoral and illegal and have borrowed all the money I could. I hope that a generous person could give me the help that I desperately need and once I am back on my feet I would love to pay it forward to someone else who needs it because I know how it feels. Thank you.

Having a family has always been important to me.

Over the last several years, I have exhausted my savings in attempts to have a family. The natural attempts to have a family have been unsuccessful, so I went to IUI’s. After a year of unsuccessful IUI's and 2 miscarriages, the only option left is with IVF and donor eggs.

The cost is $30K for the Donor egg program and the IVF procedure.

I’m active duty military and my insurance company does not cover any part the costs for the donor's medication and the IVF procedure nor does it cover the medication that I will need to take.

I have tried to get a loan thru various channels available to me but have been unsuccessful due to not having any collateral in which to secure the loan with.

I’ve had several people volunteer to be a co-signer for a loan but their income- to- debt ratio and credit scores prevent them from being approved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi generous donor. I am the father of 9 kids and a wife and have no income, no way to pay rent, bills, and debts. I owe 30k of personal debt. Please help me with any donation that you can.

Thanks and G-d bless.

Hello people with disposable income,
I am student currently studying to become an engineer. The money is tight and I could use the help of an anonymous donor to pay some of my ever increasing bills. I live frugally and have very little free time to enjoy these days. My part time job only pays me enough to cover my food and part of my rent. Work now takes up most of my free time and I feel like the mounting stress is tearing me down. My degree will be a tool by which I can affect positive change to my community and nation. Anything to help would be incredible. Regards

Hello

I recently started up my own opera company and I am looking to fund our inaugural production of Cosi fan tutte. I am seeking funding within the region of $6000 in total but all assistance is most appreciated.
The action has been updated to modern day Italy, we have our whole cast and venue up and ready to go. But the dream will vanish if we cannot get the money behind it.

You can find out more details about the project here:

http://www.pozible.com.au/index.php/archive/index/4727/description/0/0

We have a performance target date of March 18 2012 for the venture which is why we are looking for the money immediately. This is the best date to tie in with our venue, the beautiful Makers Market at Abbotsford.
Funds include costuming and props, set design, hiring chamber orchestra and instruments, publicity, payment of director and music director, buying rights to specific images and creating posters and programmes. The artists, including myself, are NOT making any money from the venture and are giving up their time for free.
I am a highly motivated self-starter with extensive experience in both the practical and administrative side of the arts. In return for your valuable help I am able to assist you to get your own business projects up off the ground in areas such as data entry, copywriting, editing, proofing and the creative process. Or if you are a creative organisation or individual needing a hand, whether it be through performance or administrative matters, I would be happy to help you free of charge.
Additionally, my wonderful troupe of singers can perform at your next corporate functioning or gathering - we will even travel as a special thank you!
This is an exciting new initiative that you and/or your business can get involved in from the ground level. I guarantee that this venture will make money - so if it is difficult for you to get involved as a donor, we can organise a repayment scheme.

I can't tell you how grateful I am. Thank you so much for your time.

'I am responsible for me.' I haven't fully learned this simple principle (to my shame and surprise). My choices have placed me and my girlfriend in a position where we will be evicted in 8 days. I've previously planted the seeds for a new authentic growth in my life. However, the fruits of my labor won't be realized in time. I don't think I would be begging if I was concerned for just me. I'd rather be homeless. But, I can barely stomach the idea that my bad choices will affect my partner. I promise each donor 2 things: I will help others in need. I will continue to courageously and honestly, re-evaluate my life (and accept FULL responsibility for it). We are in need of $1600 (1 dollar at a time). Thank you to all that have read this. Thank you to all that have shared with us. Finally, thank you to the wonderful soul that has created this website. (Any advice would also be appreciated)

After prostate cancer radiation, recurring depression, and Meniere's disease, I need new help. Looking to do some charity work. Would like to buy a small SUV cheap, like Nissan Xterra. Nothing extravagant. I am a published poet and would gladly create any poetry any donor would like, be it for new birth, birthday, wedding, inspiration, courtship/proposal. You donation would be a great blessing. Thank you.

You don't know me. Maybe you never will. But you will never meet a more grateful person to shower blessings upon you after you have helped. It is indeed more blessed to give than to receive. You never know when you might be entertaining and assisting an angel. I know your help to me will be a blessing to you.

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.

Dear Donor,
I have been unemployed for a few months now. The week I was laid off my baby girl was born, She was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. I Love her so much!We do not qualify for aid since my wife works and according to the system she makes too much money. They do not take into consideration that we have to pay rent and utilities, not including food. We cant make it.I go out everyday to look for work without any success. I feel like my manhood was taken away. I dont let my wife see me cry. I hide my tears and shame from her and tell her that things will get better.It wont be long before she will see through this facade. I am really scared that I will lose my family. this is my first time asking for help from strangers. Can someone please help my family since I cant. Please help until I can get back on my feet. I want to show my wife that I can be the husband and father that I should be. Thank You, Johnnie

Dear Donor,
I am a father of a newborn girl who was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. It is very hard to find work.I worked part time and was dismissed due to low bussiness. My car was repossesd by the bank due to failure to pay.
I feel like my manhood was taken away from me and I cannot be the father or husband which I'm supposed to be. I have never begged before
but I am hoping that the help which I have provided in the past when I did work will pay it forward to me until I can get back on my feet.

Do you believe in true love? I do, and I may always believe if bestowed the proper provisions.

She was the only thing that saved me from a life of crime and possibly worse, and she came all the way from Argentina to do so. I was, as I am now, a poor student in Colorado and a "lucky bum" who finally got a break by love finding him. Currently I study foreign language, ie; Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Latin. As impressively smart as one would assume i'd have to be to study so many languages at once, to the contrary I was terribly stupid where it matters most, which is at romance. In short because of being a total " fat -head" and ingrate, I let her get on a plane out of my life without saying goodbye. Its been over a year.

Since then, my nights have been like torture without her, and each new romantic fling has been as hollow and meaningless as the preceding. The good news is however, that her and I have keep frequent contact via SKYPE.COM video calls.(thank God 4 skype!) She is in the same position as I am, realizing that she too cannot find closure to our love, and therefore we have decided that we want to be together, except forever this time. So I decided to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina indefinitely to be with the only girl for me.

However it is not enough for me to just get a plane ticket and rush over to South America and live happily ever after, I will also need a job, as well as a room or a hostel to stay in while I job hunt. ( Quite frankly, I am not trying to be unemployed,broke, and living in her mother's house in S. America, no thanks!) Therefore I am also hoping to earn/receive enough money to enroll in a program called ITTO or (International Teachers Training Organization) in Guadalajara, Mexico to receive my license to teach English as a second language(TESL) before going to live in Buenos Aires.

Target date you ask? I am trying to get out of here by early september or october of 2011. As it stands I am basically homeless, out of school for vacation, (meaning no financial aid) and have been doing temporary labor jobs which barely keeps me fed on the weekly basis, let alone permit me to save money for the provisions necessary to go on this life altering journey to find the truth of true love.

All together, I estimate with the cost of a round trip ticket to Argentina ( round trip, because non- citizens are not permitted with one way tickets) as well as the cost of the fore mentioned ITTO course and travel to and from Mexico from Colorado, plus the survival money I will need once ( god willing) I arrived in B's A's, I stand in a financial need of about $5,000.00 or slightly more.

I realize there are people with more important matters that can use money, and I truly hope they receive charity just as I would like to. However this is a petition for those who understand what it is like to let the perfect one get away and could do little or nothing about it, like a child who drops their ice cream off the cone and sadly watches as it melts on the side walk. By donating to this cause, you can be the "adult" who walks up to that kid, fumbles in his pocket for some spare change to present that poor kid with a new ice cream that takes the tears from their eyes. She is my ice cream, and I don't want another flavor for my whole life. You can help make this possible, by aiding me with an airline ticket, or even check out the ITTO website and if you feel generous enough and pay the tuition of the program. I would be more than happy to correspond with each and every donor to update you on this story with letters and even pictures of what became of your generosity.

I'd like to thank any donors in advance, as well as any one who took the time to read my story and had it in their heart to give but wasn't able. Together we can prove that there is a such things as second chances at a good thing, chivalry is certainly not dead, and love stories aren't just for the story books, in fact...it can happen to you!

Thanks and warm regards,

James McDonald

Hello, I am a married woman in my 20's with a small son and one on the way in December. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I have a BS in business management and economics. I have had a sound business idea for a year but I do not have the extra funds to bring it to reality. It is a niche vending business with relatively low start-up capital, about $5000. I have 4 guaranteed locations lined up and several others I am in talks with. The $5000 pays for the product machine needed for the locations, filing with the state, tax, shipping, and copies of necessary sales materials and contracts. My vending business requires no inventory, employees, office location, or overhead. It is a simple concept (don't want to give too many details online) with the added bonus of being a niche business. My concept is virtually non-existant in my area and the feedback I've gotten so far has been extremely positive. I am willing to give more details if necessary.
This business would help my family in ways you can't understand. Due to an unscrupulous family member, my credit is bad and I cannot apply for a traditional business loan. I would be able to pay off long-standing debts and help relieve my dear husband of financially supporting our family, while also being able to stay at home with our expanding family. I also need this for me. I need to feel like I am contributing positively to my family and to our neighborhood and beyond. I want to put my business knowledge to work and not waste my degrees. I've spent this past year doing my due dilligence and research around my area and based on my findings my business will be extremely successful. I appreciate any and everything you could spare, each dollar brings me that much closer to my dream.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

P.S. what goes around, comes around. I won't forget this and I cannot wait until I can come back to this site as a donor and be able to give back.

Dearest readers I write these few short line and come before you all humbly to ask for your assistance, as you all know the situation in our country and around the world is not the best it’s ever been and many Americans like myself are unemployed, My situation is a little different from mainstream Americas yes my house is up for foreclosure, we have next to nothing in our savings but besides all that the most important thing in our lives right now is our 21 month old son Ian.
Ian was born with severe renal failure for him that means that as soon as there is a compatible donor he will undergo surgery for my wife Gina who is also unemployed and take care of Ian dialysis on a daily basis and for myself it’s a constant worry will we have a secure place or roof over our heads when our baby receives his transplant will we have enough to make ends meet and so on.
I know you guys probably receive tons of mail asking for hand me out but trust me writing this letter was not easy and my family as well as I will be forever grateful for any assistance you can offer us.

A very sincere thank you in advanced.

Hi guys,

So recently I have been saving up for a boob job, I really want to get in to glamour modelling but will need bigger boobs to get that kind of work. I have been saving the money from my crummy job in a well known dinner, known for the caliber of the girls who work there, but recently my car died so I had to use the money for my boobs to fix my car.

I need in total around $5000, so if anyone could donate, no matter how small, I would be willing to send every donor a picture after my op!

Thanks

Lulla

Ladies and Gentlemen: I would like to build several alpine shelters for tourists. Also, I would like to set-up small water captions - somewhere in the mountains from my country.

There are many mineral springs in the area where I live. Most of them have proven therapeutic properties. Unfortunately, they have been abandoned by the local authorities.

I cured myself from a stomach disease after I sistematically drunk water from such a spring! I would like to help others to become healthy, too.

The problem is that the springs are located in remote, difficult to reach areas. I need money to clean up the mountain paths, to pay the construction materials, to transport them up on the mountains, to pay my co-workers, to pay the tools, plus the shelters' endowment, and to acquit countless other smaller expenses.

If I want the job to be done properly, I would have to spend tenths of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, I do not have such an amount. But I have the will to work hard; and the determination to live in harsh conditions, for several months, in order to materialise my dream.

Any amount you can offer me, it would be welcomed.

At the donor's express wish, I can inlay his/her name on a stainless steel plate, accompanied by the following words: "Spring caption made with the invaluable help of Mr/Mrs [your name]. Please say a small prayer, for your benefactor, before drinking from this water."

I thank you for your generosity.-

Please we are deeply in debt. We are in danger of losing our home. We both work but do not make enough money to cover our debt. Most of our debt is unavoidable medical debt. It is also getting hard to buy food for our children also. Now I need surgery which will cost tens of thousands of dollars and put me out of work for a little while. Any help that anyone could generously give would be eternally appreciated. Also the help could possibly returned if the donor should need it. Thank you in advance!
