Downsized Tags

This is quite humiliating but I am desperate. I live with my two kids. I was downsized from my job. I have applied for about 30 jobs a day via monster,careerbuilder. I am the person usually helping homeless by asking for clothing donations, however I am now the one who needs help. I need help paying my rent for this month. I am very marketable and know I will get a job soon, but I am running out of time at my apartment complex. My one time rent is now at 913.00, because of late fees. I should be on my feet by next rent cycle. Just need a donation this one time. I can write a receipt, as a grant for any tax purposes as I think this would be tax deductible if you provide me the money. staci.hembrick@gmail

Hi:
I'm in dire need of your help and I don't know where else to turn to save my husband's restaurant business of 20 years. He started from scratch, and we've been putting in the long endless hours. The economic recession hit us badly; we have used all our savings to keep afloat and keep our loyal staff employed as long as we could. The banks will not lend, so we've borrowed from family, sold property, downsized in every way we can, heartbreakingly cut staff to the bare minimum. We are indebted to the hilt. Bill collectors are calling, our home is going in foreclosure. We're afraid to think of what the reality really is, or we might go bonkers. We live by faith and hope, believing that each day we rise will be a better day than the day before. We have never begged nor have we ever expected handouts; we have instead been working hard trying to achieve the American dream and have given freely and joyfully to our community and others in need. But tonight as I sit here, I don't know where to turn; I have reached out to beg and it's breaking my heart, but I don't know where else to do. I am thinking a divine entity led me to this site, so here I am, begging for your help. Please help us, because it is bad. We are located in New York and will be willing to meet with and talk to anyone willing to help. We will be grateful for any amount you can give. ANY AMOUNT. Please donate to us through paypal. May your blessings be mulitiplied ten fold. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

I am 32 years old I was downsized from my teaching job in 2010. I am currently working part time at a bookstore and helping around the neighborhood just to get enough money to pay for groceries and my minimal rent. I need help.

Thank you very much

Hello and yes....I am asking, well begging for help. I never thought that this would be me. I was always the giver. You hear of other people having problems, but you never think that it will be you. Well, times have changed. I am a single mom that was downsized when my company shut down in my home state and facing foreclosure. After the shock and worry wore off (and believe me, it took a while) I picked myself up and found a job in another state. Early this year I was once again unemployed due to "changes in the industry". All that really means to me is the company that I worked for did not make enough profit.

It's amazing but right now a whole boatload of people are falling into this category.

Here is how you can help: I need to raise $25,000
I need to pay off my car (no decent public transportation in my area) and credit cards (money that I used to live on) and some bills.
I have never depended on the kindness of strangers before but now I am bearing my burdens to all and asking for help.

One dollar or two, Any amount that you can give will be a blessing and I thank you in advance.

I am a single mother with sole custody of two fabulous teenage boys. I lost my job in April of 2011, since then we have been living on welfare. I have been unable to find a job, have had major surgery and can no longer pay bills. I have downsized my life to the extreme including selling of personal items just to make ends meet. I have cashed in all my 401K's and IRA's and have no other assets left to assist me to keep my kids fed and living in a house. Please help.

I have been an electronics engineer until two years ago when our company's continued down sizeing left me without a chair. While I actually am working its mostly min wage jobs and mostly under 40 hours. I have one daughter and my wife is now 5 months pregnant. We do manage to scrape some funds together to bring wife to her monthly check ups. However it is the cost of the delivery. Our debt is getting larger while our living expenses seem to grow. We have downsized our lives as best we could.

I realise some peoplemay consider it irresponsible; having another kid with our economic situation. This pregnacy comes a compleate surprise to everyone, wife, me and Dr. During the delivery of our first child my wife had some complications. There had been an emergency C-section perfromed. As result we got a beautiful healthy daughter, but there was a consequence. Basically the doctor told us my wife my not be able to get pregnate again. I mean the odds against was astromonical. Maybe you can say this new baby will be a miracle. Just a miracle during unfortunate times.
Im not asking alot of money from a few people. I hope alot of people can send a little. GOD BLESS.. I do promiss I do help and will help others in simular situation when I my economic status changes for the better. I you please you can donate to my j-thibault@hotmail.com
I can send pics and updates to donars if they like.

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

Currently I have been unemployed since 2010, the company that I worked for downsized and I was out of a job. Since I have worked plenty of temporary jobs but not enough. I enrolled in school for Physical Theraphy, but unable to pay my titution or other bills. My Electric is cut off, I owe AEP $1,300.00 I'm in desperate need of some help. Please find empathy and compassion in your heart to help, just once I wish I could get the help I need. I've asked several agency for help but none was given.

Thanks for considering my needs God is able to do ALL, and I'm counting on God's people to see me through.

July 21, 2007, My wife Ilene was killed when a young driver thought he could make it and took a left hand turn into her path. She had cancer but an operation made her cancer free, then she got a pulmanry embolism that almost killed her, so for this reason I made a pact with her that if she ever died I would take care of her children.
We were separated and had filed for divorce, she was killed on July 21st and on tuesday the 24th I picked up the mail on the way to her wake and there were the finalized divorce papers, but in New Hampshire, Death before finalization of a divorce nullifies it.
In order to keep my promise of taking care of her children I had to go back to court to have them uphold the divorce so they would be the sole beneficiaries.
Well it turns out my unselfishness ruined me financially, the Bank repossesed my car and foreclosed on my home and now my job is being downsized and I won't be able to pay my remaining bills and my portion of the rent. Could you please help me with any amount? I will be most grateful and say a prayer for you.
Thank you in advance, Martin

My name is Michael Gardner and I am sad that I need to this ,but feel there is no other way. I have a beautiful wife who is pregnant and 2 beautiful daughters. We have acquired a huge amount of debt from when my second daughter was born. We used credit cards to pay many of our bills during that time as the money was not there at the time. Things looked up when I got a promotion at work. The bills seemed to begin to shrink, but then I was downsized. I am currently working 2 jobs and looking for a third. At that rate of working I will very rarely see my family. Please help. I pray that someday I can be done with these bills.

I've been a single mother for the past fourteen years. I have always been able to provide for myself and my son, many years working two jobs just to make ends meet. However, recently things have changed. Finding one job let alone two is just not that easy anymore, the last four companies I have worked for have gone out of business, outsourced, and downsized. I don't know what else I can do I have been out of work for almost a year now. My son has medical need that I cannot afford. I need a job, this is what I want more than begging for money. If anyone out there can help me with a job tip for a woman living in northern california or temporary assistance with funding, I would be very grateful. Thank you

My name is Robert. I live in South Florida. I had been working as a cook when I lost my Job. and my Girlfriend for an AC company when they downsized and laid her off. Well to make a long story short we have barely scraped by the last 2 years. But now her unemployment ran out about 3 months ago, and neither one of us after 2 years have been able to find work enough to pay the bills. Right now we are 2700 behind, but been told if we come up with 1000 we will not be evicted. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated

My name is Amber and I'm 31 years old. I have had Fibromyalgia and Artritis for the last 10 years and it has gotten really bad. I can't hold on to a job for long because of my chronic pain. I am married to a wonderful man but his check doesn't cover all of our bills. We've downsized a lot but can't get caught up. We are now 2 payments behind on our house. My car has been repo'd and I've sold most of my belongings just to contribute something. I've tried getting on disability and they still deny me even though my medical records are several inches thick. I don't know what else to do. Any little bit would help so much.

I have been fighting to save my Home, its not much just 1000 sq ft small. we got into a Junk Loan and then found out it was to late to get out of it and it was was all down hill from there. We lost 2000 amonth income, started taking on the responsabilty of taking care of a elderly parent, then our son lost his house so we let them move in he lost his job 2 months later then my daughter-in-law lost her job and they have three kids, I worked 7 days a week and so did my husband so then they downsized. So we started falling behind and it was out of control. I have a pasion to Pray morning, noon. and night abd bury myself in the BIBLE. I still waver in my Faith, that I know God will take care of it all. God Bless who ever reads this !!!

I got laid off and have been doing odd jobs. My husband is physically and psychologically disabled due to his service in the army. We have two children. We are now three months behind on our bills. He gets a small pension from the VA but it doesn't even pay our rent. We have downsized. We have already lost our home. There are no jobs here. I send out 30-50 resumes per day. He now needs help beyond the VA's ability or willingness. Any help would be appreciated. In addition, please pray that I find solid employment soon.

My name is Rita and I am the primary caregiver to my 84 yr old Mother who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in April 2000 and the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease in February 2003. Two days before her Alzheimer's diagnosis, my position as Market Data Assistant for an insurance-owned, mutual fund company was downsized and transferred to Boston, MA. Because of the timing and intensity of her diagnosis, and upon the advice of her physician, I remained home to care for my Mother - to alleviate her fear of being and/or dying alone. I remain home, with her, today. Caring for her daily needs as well as I can.

I love my Mother dearly, but things happen when there is only a sole caregiver to a loved one with Alzheimer's - two lives are lost. I cannot begin to share with you all the heartache, all the loss of identity, and all the financial damage that has been done as a result of working menially and minimally to support my Mother's relationship to this world. I don't regret what I have sacrificed, but I have suffered greatly the consequences of my choice to be there for her. I have lost my pride, I owe EVERYONE, my credit rating is ridiculously poor and I am a woman ashamed to have tapped friends on the shoulder without being able to pay them back.

The final straw came earlier this month when I applied for a $10,000.00 on-line loan (though I owe more than $100K), and experienced identity theft. It has been the only time I have ever been grateful for a poor credit rating.

With absolute sincerity, GOD BLESS YOU for your consideration of my situation and Thank You for any assistance you may be able to give. Feel free to contact me at vryown5@aol.com with any questions. Additionally, if you are in a position to help, my PayPal account is vryown5@aol.com.

Thank You again.
