I am a single mother of two. I recently just moved and I am having a hard time getting adjusted. I do have a job, but I have been playing catch up on the rent. I did make that a priority so that we would at least have a roof over our heads. But that has left us almost starving. I have been to the local food banks, but they all only run only once a month. I have applied for government assistance, but because I make more than minimum wage they are unwilling to help at all! I am drowning here and I don't want my children to starve! Can some please help us out!

As a family of six, It's my husband, myself, and our four kids. We are literally drowning from not having any money. My husband is the only one that works and he works Full-time. He is a hard worker and even works Overtime to have enough to support his family. I see the hurt in his eyes everytime he sees his family struggle and not have. Our kids are 8, 5, almost 3 and 4 months. We are in need of clothes for them, for its hard when we live pay check to pay check and never have anything extra. Please if you have a heart, help my family. Even if its one dollar, God will bless you. Thanks, Heather

I lost my job and behine on bills and need help to catch up and get ahead.
i want catch up and return to school. its been so hard living these days. day to day expenses are drowning me. please help me out with what you can.

hey to whom ever may care i am 30 years old currently not working and attending school part time, i have no family to help but want to improve my life and not lose my studio. I have hit a rough patch in life i was a late bloomer and started college 2 years ago i was waiting tables but do to rough times the cafe has gone under. I would like to stay in school but my bills are pilling up it is close to $800 a month and i am drowning in debt. I have student loans no car and i am using the internet at the library because i do not have it in my home i am 2 months behind on my rent and hope to find work soon but will still be playing catch up. i am trying to raise as much money as possible to get some room to breath so i can stay in school and not be on the street. If any body who is kind enough to read this and help me karma will be on your side. thank you for reading and i am looking forward to your donations and help.

A few years ago my wife and I divorced. I got stuck with her car payment, student loans, legal fees, and credit card bills. She was awarded our house, but because it was purchased under a VA loan, it remained in my name. She hasn't made a single payment on it in over two and a half years and it is now in foreclosure. My credit is shot. I am a union electrician and due to a bad economy I have been out of work for two out of the last three years. Things got so bad for me that I went over two years without seeing my children. A few months ago I was finally able to borrow enough money from friends to get an attorney and get visitation of my kids again. With all my ex wife's bills that I am responsible for, plus child support and my own cost of living, I am unable to stay afloat. I am drowning in debt and the stress is taking a toll on my body, as I have been gaining a great amount of weight. I know the economy is bad for many people, and I am ashamed and embarassed that it has come to this for me, but I am turning to the many good samaritans that I know are out there and asking you for your help. I am a good person and when times were good for me I always helped the less fortunate when and where I could. Now I, unfortunately, am the less fortunate and I need your help. Please show me that there are still generous and caring people out there and help me and my children out any way you can. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hello, I've never done this before but, I'm desperate.
I'm 19 years old and my family is going through a divorce, my mother never furthered her education and has been a house wife for the entire 20 years they have been married and simply supported my dad and all his pursuits.

When I turned 18 my dad left for a gas station woman he'd known for maybe a total of a few months. Let me state he tried to have an affair with her, it wasn't till my mother confronted him that he said he wanted a divorce; My dad is a repeated cheat, I was never aware of this till the day he left, then all the lies came out of the closet.

We run a small chimney sweep business, the office is located at my mother's as she sets the appointments. She does not receive a pay check because during their marriage it was easier on taxes, they have decided to keep it this way and instead dad just covers the bills.

Now the business is great in the winter but we are in spring now and as you may already know no one uses their fireplace in the middle of warm weather! No they go outside and have bonfires. Now my dad is going blind due to diabetes and simply cannot work, we have hired a friend to do the jobs now while my dad just tells them what needs to be done and oversee's the work to the best of his ability. However, his reputation of leaving his wife and daughter for a woman he barely knows has
gotten around and I've heard the clients say they don't want business from a man like that.
My dad also wants to spend money we do not have, he is trying to sell an old sports car so we can put another work truck on the road, we don't have enough work to keep the one truck going we most certainly can't afford the regular expenses of another! My parent's can't even afford to legally divorce, and he want's a new truck. The one he has is fine, I don't understand why he won't use that money for bills.

Now any money I earn myself I have to give to my parents to help alleviate the burden of the bills, but what I contribute is not enough and now we have received the nasty call from the mortgage that they are foreclosing. While I hand all my savings to my parents can't save for my education, and being homeless will make it almost impossible. I've no famly or friends to turn to and we do not have a shelter here. I'm under the age of 24 so I cannot get any financial aid for school without a legal guardian to sign for me, and my parents refuse to think realistic; When I ask them what are we going to do? they say "Winning the lottery is the only thing that can save us." They have lost hope, I understand things are bad... but is it so bad that they can't help me get financial aid?

We currently need $136,000 to pay the house completely off, I'd love to have that, if you find it in your heart to give us our home I'd never be able to forget it. I'd be forever grateful and I'd love to return the favor someday so please feel free to give me an e-mail to contact.

To get us caught up on bills and me in school for nursing will take $7,000. we are so far behind and work is pretty much non-existent... My dad refuses to apply for disability as well.

I'm begging you please help me, I'm drowning in the debt of my parents. I've wanted to be a nurse my whole life and now I feel robbed of that chance... So please help!

I am a single Mom of three wonderful children. But it is finacialy
difficult. I had a great factory job but was injured on the factory line and fired for it. It has been difficult to find a job that after childcare, I can't earn enough money to pay the bills. Two of my children have special needs, my oldest with her difficulties will be repeating two grades in elementry, !st grade and failing this year, 3rd grade. My second child is mild autistic, and will have to repeat 1st grade. Both children are taken out of the classrooms for resource classes. It has been a while and all of my savings have been used to suport us all.
My x left us in Nov 2006, and we have not seen him since. Years of refusing to pay childsupport and he is 24,000 in arrears, managed to get SSI just for himself, so child support is only $50 a mo and $10 mo to pay back for arrears. I am asking for help so that I can help pay off the growing bills I can't afford anymore. I don't own anything I could sell. I feel as if I am drowning, falling unable to pay surounded with past due notices and collections calls and feel like the end of my rope. Please help, even small amounts in collection are blessings. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!! I am greatful for even someone taking the time to read my note, please if nothing eles take a moment and pray for me to be stronger, I feel so weak and worn out from the long battle to stay afloat. Thank you and god Bless.

Thank You

I have never done anything like this before but I dont know what else to do. I work everyday and still cannot stay above water. I work so much I hardly get to spend anytime with my kids. I have gotten behind on my car note and my rent is due and I cant pay either one because I had to pay the light bill and buy food. I have nobody to ask for help and I have really bad credit. I know its hard being a single mom and im doing the best I can but I feel like I'm drowning really fast. I dont wanna have to tell my kids we have to move agian because mommy cant pay our rent or they took mommys car away because i couldnt pay note. I dont blow money or buy unecessary things I go without so my kids can have what they need. I was doing ok until some bills came out of my account and I didnt have enough money to cover it. So now on top of everything I have to lose my account is overdrawn. So Im asking for help so we dont have to move or lose my car. A mom feels so bad when i can only buy a few groceries and constantly have to tell my kids im sorry mommy cant get that I have no money. thank you

I never thought i would find myself in this situation, never thought i would have to ask complete strangers for help but here goes...
I recently left an abusive partner after several years, the relief is undescribable. Unfortunately during the relationship i was naive enough to take on the majority of his debt. I have managed to secure myself a new place to stay however im now drowning in bills from my old accomodation i shared with him. Im stuck between paying for my new place (and thus securing my freedom and new life) and clearing what i owe on the old place and being free of the past.
I cannot afford to do both, and im in real trouble if i do not pay off bills from the old place.
So im begging you good people for help, i hope that someone out there can help me.
Many thanks for your time reading this post

Hello,

I am a UK-based songwriter and musician and am struggling badly to support a family with partner and 2 kids. I have become overwhelmed with debt, bills to pay etc. I am basically drowning. Although I have a part-time job, it doesn't pay much (the job is all I could get) it's still proving very difficult to make ends meet and the trend is dispiritingly downhill. I'd like to propose a genuine offer to hopefully encourage some donations:- I have made several solo albums of my songs, which are available on iTunes. My proposal is that for anyone who donates some money to me via Paypal, I will reply to your email address with a link which will enable you to download an album of ten songs in return, for whatever you can afford to donate. I would really appreciate any help and will be glad to give something in return. It's basically all I have to give! Thank you so much

We have fallen hard, hit rock bottom! Financially we are drowning with no sight of rescue. My husband and I have been paying of his debt which he incurred at a very young age. His father, who worked in finance GUIDED him into applying for ridiculous amounts of debt. And this in turn has meant that now 7 years later we are still paying off his debts. We have been blessed with three beautiful children but that's where our luck stops. My husband is one of four children all of which have received financial help from their families, my sister-in-law, my husbands younger sister and her fiancee live at home with her mother so they can save for their wedding and a house deposit. Yet here we are, drowning in debt and can not get any help from any of our families! It's very depressing to see family members achieve dreams because they are getting generous donations from their family and you're the only one missing out!!!
We are just needing a hand up not a hand out!
We only $20000 to go and after a lot of self sacrifice, juggling three jobs between us, studying, raising three very young children and moving out of Sydney, away from family and friends to save money, we still have a long way to go! And it's the interest that's killing us!
To make matters worse, at the beginning of the week I was involved in a car accident. A four car pile up, with my car being the third car and the only car to be so badly damaged that I now cannot drive it. I had no insurance, as when we were living in Sydney we truly could not afford it. So now we are left without a car and the added debt of having to pay fir the car in front of me to be repaired.
We have no luck and could really use a break and to live a simple, uncomplicated life.

So I propose to you that if there are 2000 who would be willing to LEND us $10, when the time comes and you need the $10 back we will return it! No loss to you but a great gift and help to us.
Please we could really

It really seems that I take one step forward and two steps back. After being unemployed for over a year I got a great part time job. It was brisk work over Christmas, then the hours got cut back to 11 hours a month. I have enough to cover buying a bus pass to get to the job and about half of my phone bill. I'm still actively looking and applying for jobs, but it took over a year just to get what I've got now. I really need some money to pay the phone bill fully $182(it's been rolling over for quite some time now and they've finally threatened to shut it off.) If I don't have a phone then I can't get calls from people wanting to hire me or even call places to see if they are hiring. Need money for my storage $154- I put everything I own in storage and am crashing on my friends sofa because I can't afford rent. I'd also like to be able to give her some money for putting up with me all these months. I owe her $700 for when she was paying my phone and storage before I got my part time job. That would be choice. It would be groovy to be able to buy groceries once in a while. This totally sux! I've got a degree, did everything you're supposed to do and I'm drowning in student loans, past due bills,and sleeping on a couch. Thank God for friends that let you invade their space. I tried one of those pay day loan places and I owe them $252 at the end of the month - my pay check will be a whopping $130 or so (after taxes). Ain't life grand? So my account will go in arrears - AGAIN! And i'll have to pay the $35 fee for insufficient funds. About $400 would do it by the end of March. Then I get to start all over again in April scrounging around to get money all while having a less than part time job. I'm not happy. But I'd really be grateful for any help. God Bless.

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.

Hi, I am in desperate need of some assisstance, bills are through the ceiling and i'm finding it extremly difficult to make ends meet. I am drowning in student loan debts my credit is shot, credit cards are maxed out,my life consists of working my part time job and attending school, I can no longer afford rent or the utility bills, eating is now a thing of the past. I'm receiving constant phone calls and letters from loaners reminding me constantly how much money I owe them and how much past due I am. As of today i am $16,300 in debt including all my student loans, credit card bills, and the last two monthes of rent and utilities that im behind on. Please, anything you can spare will help me make it through these hard times and finish getting my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. Thank you in advance.

I didnt know these type of websites existed until today. I'm not good at asking for help and to be honest, I don't really feel that great about doing this, but at this point, I don't really know what else to do. And now, my story: I am a thirty year old single mother of a nine year old little boy, who both works and goes to school full-time. Last semester I was denied financial aid due to the fact that my completion rate was not satisfactory. Taking a semester off was not going to do me any good, so I paid for my classes out of pocket. I knew it was going to be tough and thought that I would be ok. Well, I was very wrong. Life gets messy and complicated and never really works out the way we plan. My car needed work, my son needed glasses, he got pink eye and we both got strep throat. I also just started a new job and dont have insurance (I couldnt afford the $400.00/month COBRA payment from my previous employer). Everything just kind of seemed to happen at once and I fell behind in every financial aspect. In an attempt to recover from this, I reluctantly got a Payday Loan. Well..if any of you have ever done this, you know what a evil perputal cycle it becomes. I got loans to cover bills, and then got loans to cover loans..and now, I'm drowning in them! I have six at this moment all for varying amounts, my checking is negative and I am still behind on half of my bills. I dont feel like there is an end to this. I would get another job if I could, but with work, school and my son, I barely have time to sleep. I dont get child support as my sons father aquired a nasty meth addiction and ended up in prison and my family is struggling almost as badly as I am right now. I take responsibility for my bad choices and I'm not asking someone to completley bail me out. I won't even tell you how much my debt actually is. I just need a little help here..thats all. Thanks!
