Please help me I am in a really bad spot. In 2006 husband died..we owned an internet cafe. In 2007 I closed cafe & started looking for another IT job...no luck even for data entry or help desk (still looking but am told I don't have current skills & no money to get update/education). Tried to sell off all store stock & in 2009 Ebay/Craig's list sales became slim. Cashed in bonds/savings acts/401k/stocks to make ends meet. Eventually in 2010 no more corners to take from & part-time jobs just not meeting all obligations. Now son-in-law in AZ has health problems & daughter+2 grandaughters need help desperately. He had gall bladder removed a year ago & he is one of a few that cannot easily live without it...having really tough time with digestion & weight loss. No time to sell everything.

Hello everyone
My name is Daniel, and I recently decided it was time for me to go back to college and get a good job. I have worked construction my wole life, but now I am pursuing a career in communications. Ei started college with next to nothing saved up and a full time job to help with the bills. I realized it wasn't going to be enough so I started looking for online ways to make money. I sold almost everything I own on eBay and realized I was still short. So I discovered online surveys. For those of you that have never done online surveys for money, don't. Every site promised to make me money and the only outcome was my old email address had to be shut down because I was receiving thousands of emails per week. I hope someone out there understands that times get tough. I spend 400 dollars a month on rent, 150 roughly for gas and electricity, the rest goes to cover fuel, my insurance, phone payment, and sometimes when there is something left I eat. If I wasn't a cook at a restaurant I would not eat at all. I'm tired of struggling all the time and if I could just get a little help now I know I can turn the corner. When I finally start my career I will donate money to people in need just like me, because I know what it's like to struggle and want. I'm only asking for enough to get by. Anything at all helps and I really do appreciate it.

I want to put some stuff on ebay but I don't have any cash on my paypal. I swear all I need is 5.00, I'm a mom and it would really help me out.

I recently moved from Hellonearth, Oklahoma, to FL to help some people with various problems. Where I came from, my former boss begged/borrowed every last dime of my money(income tax refund from working in MS, before i came back to OK for a girl i had fallen in love with- the feeling was mutual, still is..) The ex-boss 'borrowed' my $500 tax refund under the pretense that she had to feed her children, etc, etc. Turns out she spent it on drugs and casinos instead, and has no intentions of paying it back. The girl I love is now stuck in Hellonearth, OK, because I couldnt afford to get her out here, and then tickets sold out and it was too late.. so she is now pretty much homeless & starving, and I need to save her, but everybody's previously seemingly- good plans are failing for various reasons(attempting to ebay up $ to get her here, but ebay is way too slow + i am new seller + people in OK stole most of what I had intended to auction. I travelled via greuhound, paid in advance by who summoned me to Florida. I do not wish the stress / danger of greyhound for the girl I love, so i need to make about $400 A.S.A.P. because we are both heartbroken and I can't feed or protect her from this far away. The hell in which she's stranded is ovverrun by meth, thieves, etc. and i need to get her to the airport, from 74601 to jacksonville, + gas for whoever takes her to the nearest airport, + food.. I estimate about $400 should cover it. If my former boss didnt beg away my tax refund, my love would already be here, safe, eating, sleeping safely.. If you help me get her safe, I will repay it as soon as I can, +interest or something more than you contributed. So please, if you can help, think of it as an investment, unless you donate anonymously, then think of it as good karma, leading to more good things happening to yoh for helping the poor girl get to this little piece of paradise. yes, we aren't rich, but i can feed her, love her, and make her life happy, I love her and don't want to let her down like eveeyone else keeps doing.

*******Please take a moment to read this.******

I am surprised I am doing this but I am looking for some way to get ahead. My husband and I both work full time but we just can't seem to get past a wall that we've hit. Our debt started to accumulate as we were raising our children. My husband is actually stepfather to my two children and support payments from the bioligical father were far and few between. My children are young adults now and I will never see the $25K that is owed in back support. Ironically, we have about $20K in credit card debt. With credit cards maxed out, credit scores go down so trying other options such as consolidation loans have gone nowhere. We have tried earning extra money on Ebay but by the time they collect all their fees there's not much left for us. I have searched the internet for ways to earn extra income but find more scams than legitimate opportunities. Every month it seems to become more difficult. It's a juggling act just trying to keep up with everything.

I have always considered myself a generous person. I volunteer in the community and would love nothing more than to contribute more, especially financially. If we can get this debt under control, I would have the ability to "Pay it Forward".

Background:

I was born in Argentina, but have lived in Texas since I was 5. I had no say in it; my parents decided that’s what was best for me since Buenos Aires was so crime-ridden. I graduated high school like normal kids, went to a community college right afterwards, and worked part time to cover its costs. I got an Associate’s in Science (Nursing) and then dropped out since I couldn't afford to attend a university nor decide on a major. My GPA was a 3.4 at the time.

I'm now 25, working full time (Geek Squad, can’t do much with an associate’s), studying electrical engineering, married to my high school sweetheart, and have my goals set! I just have one thing holding me back...MONEY. Since I backtracked when I changed majors, I had a few sophomore classes to take. I'm finishing them at the same community college, and I'm registered for the Fall semester at the University of Texas at Dallas (Junior level courses). I have gotten nothing but As since I've been back!



Why I Need Your Help:

Now, you may be wondering, why can't I use FAFSA? Well, I recently obtained my permanent residence. That was a big roadblock growing up. One of the agreements I had with our nation was that I would not use federal funds (welfare, food stamps, grants, FAFSA, etc) for the next 10 years. I work full time and attend as many classes as I can per semester; I have no time for lollygagging.

Sallie Mae can only loan me so much, and banks nowadays make it very difficult to borrow from for school. All the scholarships I’ve looked for require either citizenship or full time enrollment, neither of which I am. (Can’t enroll full time because I need to work full-time to make ends meet) My father is a construction worker and I don’t know my mom, she left us when I was 7. I just sold my laptop on eBay and made myself a cheap one from recycled parts. I've tried getting internships, but I'm not deep enough into my career to be eligible yet. Nearby family members don’t have any spare cash, and don’t make enough to co-sign a loan for me….So I’m here, hoping some kind strangers can help me out.

I am a hard working student, good Samaritan, bilingual, a jokester, drug-free, do calculus in my head, pay taxes, 740 credit score, and drive a broken down Pontiac. My only goal right now is to finish school with flying colors as soon as possible; just need this financial roadblock to meet a wrecking ball.

Will you help me smash it down?

In November of 2011, I had a pulmonary embolism. After getting off Coumadin in March, I was still extremely sick. Doctors cannot seem to find the issue. Lupus, autoimmune and cancer were what they thought it was but blood tests ruled that out. Now it looks like endometriosis. I am on the verge of losing my job, only working a day a week. I cannot take a leave of absence because I need some sort of income for bills and gas to get me to and from college classes. I have a 6 yr old son that I take to school daily as well. I am NOT asking for cash, and I really do hate to do this, but we are in great need of non-food necessities (toilet paper, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, etc.) I am trying to sell my possessions on ebay for extra cash but it isn't going so well. Thank you for your interest.

Hello,

Recently, I quit my job and started up my own eBay business. It had been a dream all my life, to own my own business. I started just a few months ago, and everything was going flawless. I have a great supplier, great products, and great customer service, etc. While we were new on eBay, they had set limits on how much we could sell and Paypal put 21-day holds on all our funds, till the customers received their items. It was just recently, that we turned into eBay Powersellers and received the status of "Top Rated Sellers".

Everything was going just perfect, up until recently. My mother-in-law needs a LOT of teeth work done. So, I decided I would list my cherished Jimi Hendrix poster online, to raise funds for her teeth work, because my business was new and not to the point of affording $5000 teeth work. I put it up for a 10-day auction and everything was going just fine. About halfway thru my auction, it was generating bids and lots of interest!

Then, the bottom fell out..... A gentleman from California was interested in our poster, and stated that he would like to purchase it. He said if we took the listing down, he would send us $3500. We agreed and took it down. He paid us within 10 minutes! We thought we had hit the jackpot. Not only was my business taking off, now I could afford my mother-in-laws teeth work! The very next day, I put his poster in the mail and we went to pay the down payment at the dentist and a few other bills off. Everything was looking good. Later that night, I received an email from Paypal, that the buyer had put a claim in! He stated that it was not as described, even though he had not even received it yet! It was still in route, thru the postal service. He had buyers remorse and Paypal froze my funds up.

No big deal, I am an eBay Powerseller, I should be able to make the funds really fast, right? No. When a customer buys something from us, we use their money they just paid us, to purchase their part and have it shipped to them. If my Paypal account is frozen and in the red for $3000, I am not able to sell anything or ship anything off!

Now, Paypal has paid the customer back and I am just sitting here trying to figure out what to do next. My dream I had started and finally got off the ground, is now ruined. I worked 20 hour days to get this off the ground, and now feel like a failure. I cannot do anything until the money is paid back. I have no way of doing anything.

I quit my job to do this and we are now struggling. It actually makes me sick, knowing I tried so hard to get to the Powerseller level, to have it all ruined because a customer wanted his money back on an item I had a "No Refund Policy" on. Paypal ruled in his favor without even talking to me.

My Paypal balance is a -$2741.79. I really need help getting it back to ZERO. Please consider a donation for a guy that is really trying to do something with his life. I am a 40 year old male and have been a failure all my life and now I have something that is working, and just when my family started noticing, my hopes were all dashed again. Failure surrounds me.

I could really use any help you can give at this time. I am a "Pay It Forward" type of guy myself. If I am helped out of this mess, I will Pay It Forward in the near future, to a charity in the same amount.

Thanks for your time,
Cody

I am a 42-year-old man with wife and daughter, and I would like to start my own business. I currently live in a rural ohio community where full-time work can be very scarce. I do a lot of seasonal work such as farming, construction and odd jobs. I never turn down any jobs I simply can't afford to! Because work availability can be so unpredictable for me, and things can get pretty rough when no work can be found I decided to go into business selling things online through ebay. I have been doing a lot of research on items such as electronics and clothing among other things that can be bought at or below wholesale and then resold for a profit. What I am asking for is help with start up capitol for purchasing items that I can sell for profit. I am hoping that I can supplement my current income with money made online and who knows? Maybe I could eventually do this full time! I am an honest hard-working man who just wants the chance at a better life for me and my loved ones. As my dear mother once told me, "pennies make dollars" so any donations would be greatly appreciated no matter how large or small. If you have read this far I would like to say thank you for your time and may all good things be yours! startingfromscratch1969@gmail.com

Once again my husbands firm are changing his pay structure with barely any notice! They now say he has 2 work a month in hand which basically comes down to them not paying him until the last day of April :-(
I am listing as much as I can on eBay to try and make some money for food, but the direct debits and bills still have to be paid and I am so worried, I've never tried this before but I do know that I am willing to try anything as I have 3 beautiful children that rely on us to take care of them and the thought of not being able to do that scares me :-(
If there is anybody out there who can help us just a bit I would be so grateful, my poor hubby works so hard and feels so guilty and it's not his fault, he's done the work, they just won't pay him :-( in return I promise to help others on this page when our situation improves :-)
Can you help stop us falling into debt ? Thank you for taking the time to read this xx

hi there and thanks for taking the time to read my story. i am a single mum to a 3 yr old little girl. her dad walked out on us when i found out i was pregnant and has even left the country so i cant get maintenance off him. i lost my job a year ago and since then i have been able to apply for 4 jobs but not even offered an interview from them. i have no support from family when it comes to childcare so i am totally relying on nurseries and there just arent any jobs that fit around nursery hours and will give me set hours. i am surviving on income support which doesnt go far and some weeks i just dont have money to go to the supermarket so really have to cut down potions to make food stretch further. i am trying all ways to raise a bit of money including selling mine and my daughters clothes on ebay. i need to pay £160 water bill before the bailiffs are knocking on the door. thanks for reading and if you would like to donate ANY amount to us i can promise you it will be very gratefully received, thanks

99%? What about the 49%?

I do not believe I have any dedicated followers to this blog that I started about a week ago. I have added to the end of my blogs a donate button and I feel I need to justify the decision to do so. That is what this blog is about, and it probably should have been my first post.

It seems like there are three groups of people in America.

There is the rich. They get tax breaks simply for being rich. The philosophy is that if they spend less on taxes then they will invest it into production and buying stuff and it will “trickle down.” I am all for it if it works. But it doesn’t. They have had their tax breaks for about ten years and there isn’t anything trickling down my way.

Then there is the very poor. They claim to be incapable of working 40 hours a week because of mental or physical issues. They don’t get up very early in the morning, they don’t worry about the way they look. They collect social security, food stamps, unemployment and whatever else they can get for free. I know there are some people that legitimately can not work but I think there are a great deal of people that can and choose not to.

Instead of the 99% movement lets start a 49% movement.1% is uber-wealthy. About 50% pay no taxes and/or are a drain on our society. So that leaves 49%. I am the 49 percent and that fucking sucks! We can’t get ahead and we can’t get a hand.

Let me tell you a little more about myself. I work 60+ hours as a salesperson, which is non-commission based position. There are some things we can sell and if we sell it at a certain margin we can get a “spiff.” Unfortunately I sell building materials and not a lot of people are building right now. Also the the things that you can get a spiff on are high-end items that are difficult to sell in a good economy. I still try like hell though. In the interest of getting as many hours as possible there is no job I will not do or that is too menial. I will sell, I will work out in the yard and drive a forklift, do deliveries, stack lumber, shovel snow, sweep, empty trash, stock shelves, answer the phone,work the register or anything else that will keep me from getting sent home or laid off.

I started this blog about a week ago. I was looking for another way to make money doing something I enjoyed in my “spare” time. As well as working 60 hours a week I am also a divorced dad that takes his kids every weekend. So there isn’t a whole lot of time for a second job. I looked into the Ebay thing and realized I really don’t have anything left to sell.

Also looked into doing surveys. On average you can get a dollar for each 45-60 minute survey you take. I still do this occasionally. If I have time and can find a few that I feel are worth my time. Any little amount helps.

I thought I might eventually be able to monetize this blog by putting up enough content to get advertisers interested. It will probably take several months and a lot of writing before this might be possible. Until then I will keep the donate button on here.

My point here is that I started looking for a way to get my head back above water a week ago and things have gotten far worse since then. I went to the grocery store yesterday and in my estimation prices have gone up close to 25% on most of the things I buy. In a week!

And the price of gas....

My job is about a 25 minute commute from where I live. There is no public transportation where I live and I do not think a 25 minute commute is unreasonable. But even with a car that gets 28 miles to the gallon and gas prices being what they are it is a huge strain on the wallet. They are talking about the price of gas going up twenty cents over one weekend! I topped off yesterday in the hopes of saving two bucks.


I don’t have the answers but it seems like this system of government and politics doesn’t work. We elect a Republican for 4-8 years and when they fail to fix everything we elect a Democrat. They don’t make our problems go away either and in another 4-8 years we try another Republican and so on. Its like having two cartons of milk in the refrigerator. You take a sip of one carton and its sour, you take a sip from the other carton and it is sour too. So you try the first carton again. What? It’s still sour? Weird. Maybe we should try the second carton again....

Come on people! Can’t we get together? We need to throw out the rotten fucking milk, get off our dead asses and get down to the store and buy some fresh fucking milk!

I was already falling behind. Then it only took one small medical emergency and one car repair to put me even further in the hole. Between money I had to put up for office visits, medical procedures that had to be done, car repairs, and lost time at work it cost me over a thousand dollars that I did not have to spend. Now I am possibly facing eviction.

And I know there are people out there that need the money far more than I do. I don’t have cancer, my kids do not need a life-saving medical procedure and I am not living on the streets yet. All I am asking is that if you understand where I am coming from and you like what I have to say help me out and donate a couple of bucks. I am not asking you to “give until it hurts,” and if you don’t have it to give then I don’t want it.

If you can’t help me out by donating money, then help me out by sounding off in the comments and telling me how I can make this blog better or what I should do different. I openly welcome harsh criticism and all opposing viewpoints.

I am not looking for millions of dollars, thousands of dollars or even hundreds of dollars. I would be very happy with tens of dollars. Ten bucks accumulated over a week from several people would be a huge shot in the arm right now. If I made an extra ten bucks from donations it would buy me enough gas to get back and forth to work for two days. Or it would cover the rising cost of my grocery bill. Right now that would be huge.

Give what you can. Every penny counts. Or offer your suggestions or both. Donate some obscure amount and put that same amount in the comments or send me an email telling me the obscure amount you donated and I will reply personally to those comments and emails. I will probably respond whether you donate or not.

I thank you for any support you can

Hey everyone. I've been dealing with panic disorder and agoraphobia for about 10 years. I'm currently 28 years old and am almost finished with a bachelor's of science degree. It has taken me almost ten years to complete, but I refuse to give up. I live with my parents still and sell things on ebay, try to do daily jobs, and take classes either on campus or online. I do not have medical insurance and I really need to have my eyes checked, a doctor's check-up, a dental cleaning, and money for Sallie Mae bills. Food, gas, and hygiene money aside. I've pretty much run out of things to sell and my parents don't have enough money of their own to support me. I have applied for HIP but am still on the waiting list after two years. I think it's pertinent to mention that I apply for jobs daily online. I do not sit around and wait for hand-outs. A lot of the jobs I have managed to obtain, I lost due to panic attacks. If I need to "step out" for a few minutes to collect myself, the employer doesn't understand. It's very frustrating because I try repeatedly with the same results. I would love to be able to see a psychiatrist, but again, I cannot afford it. I belong to online self-help communities and try to give myself the best therapy I know how. I have potential -- I know I can offer a lot to people if I can just get out there. If anyone could help me out with any amount, I'd be unbelievably grateful. Not really sure where to go from here.

Hello Thanks for reading..

Just want to start off by saying to things.
I am not looking for the full amount! That would be insane.
& Me and my daughter are not terminally ill or any other ridiculous back payment.

We are about £800 short of making ends meet this month, The mortgage, the food, the insurance, the nursery. My benefits have recently gone down because I have accepted more hours at work. And they will be sorted again in April. My parents helped me last month and I am too proud to ask again.

Anything you can afford will help!
I am helping myself too, selling things on ebay, doing online surveys, even tried being a cam girl for a bit!

Thanks for reading.

Hello people of the internet!

My story isn't as tragic as a lot of people's on here. I am not ill, no one is dying and I do not have a spouse or family to support.

I am, however, quite simply up shit creek.

As a student I was pretty financially screwed. I worked in a bar but still struggled to pay my rent and bills so I constantly put groceries, bills and general life expenses on my credit card thinking "I'll pay it off when I finish uni".

As the years went by this "I'll pay it off when..." became a mantra and I continued to put various items on credit when I "needed" to. From paying for my round in the pub to trips away and buying books on eBay I now owe around $30,000 I think. I can't even look at my statements any more.

I am now working as a special education teacher, which is a job I love with all my heart, and going to work everyday and making kids happy keeps me going.
Unfortunately my salary is a bit crap, and after rent, bills and food I actually can't pay my minimum repayments on my credit debt. I pay my bills when I get paid and then live off my credit cards because I have no money left.

I have looked into various debt consolidation/IVA/bankruptcy/personal loan options and unfortunately none of them are available to me or going to make my situation any better. I have even recently toyed with the idea of just not paying my debts and letting the debt collectors come after me, but my registered banking address is also my parent's address and the thought of the stress and worry that all of this would cause my parents makes that the worst option of all.

It seems that begging has become my last resort.

Please help.

I am a 21 year old mum of twin boys but before you judge NO I am not on benefits in fact I have 3 jobs ; an early morning cleaning job which is weekdays, a 3 day a week care assistant at a residential home and on weekends a bartender.

My wages mostly go on bills and my car to get me to my jobs, there's not much more I can do to get money I am tired all the time and would love a holiday for me and my boys but obvz can not afford one as moneys tight as it is so please please if you can help it would genuinely genuinely be appreciated I am desperate and have even resorted to trying to sell my old loved possessions on ebay to try and raise up some cash, many thanks and god bless to those who donate x

Hello, I moved out of my family home 18 months ago to pursue a better life and career in a large city in England. Everything was going well until last December when I was unfortunately made redundant out of the blue. I have used the small amount of money I had to pay for December and January. I have had to start claiming JSA, but this doesn't even cover a quarter of my bills. I am now really struggling, falling behind on rent already and not being able to pay off the credit cards that I took out when I had a job. I know this is my own fault and that I should of been more careful with money. But I really have fallen in to financial hardship at this time. My phone has been cut off and I have had my ebay account closed due to not being able to pay ebay seller fees as I had to use the money for food. Thus meaning I can't even sell the very little amount of possessions I own.

I haven't got any dependents and I don't have any life threatening illnesses. I understand if you bypass me for someone more needy, but I would be grateful for anything you could spare me as I really am desperate. I have over £800 due to come out of my account next week and my overdraft maxed. I have no one to turn too. Please if you could, consider me.

Kind Regards, a desperate and worried young lady.

In July 2007 my husband was a passenger in a co-workers car; the co-worker turned left in front of a pickup and the car was T-boned directly on his side. The co-workers car was an older model with no airbags; the doctor said that if he hadn’t put his arm & hand up to shield his face than it would have been fatal. The subsequent and enduring “care” he has received via workers compensation (WC), for the grave injuries he sustained, has been appalling at best. This is just my personal opinion, based solely on our experiences since the accident, but I have concluded that workers compensation (that was put in place to protect the workers), is nothing less than an unethical, disingenuous corrupt system. They end up sending you to a doctor of there choosing and these doctors (who have "gone over to the dark side")cater to the insurance companies by writing lengthy reports downplaying any injuries (goal of saving insurance company money with zero regard for the patients well being) in exchange for more patients sent to them and guaranteed, probably higher than usual, reimbursements. All too often it seems like WC caters to those who abuse the system and discriminate against those who really are in need. The “timely” medical care my husband has actually been able to procure through this government supported system is a travesty leaving him with irreparable spinal damage and a life of pain to look forward to. The malevolent truth is, had this system acted in a timely fashion, equivalent to the expedient care that ANYONE else not on WC would receive, then something could have been done to improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, as it stands, due to the guileful delay tactics used by WC, it is too late to do much of anything to repair the injuries causing him pain. Clearly supported medically necessary needs have either gone unapproved or purposely neglected for months all the while he continues to suffer with intractable pain. It is just beyond my comprehension as to how these people can feel no remorse for leaving another human being in such agony. Due to WC neglecting to approve certain items we have had to outlay a significant amount of our funds for medically necessary items\services to help him do tasks that he could previously do unassisted.
Today he suffers unrelenting pain as a result of permanent whiplash, 8 herniated discs, and unacknowledged(despite films clearly showing injuries) unaddressed broken tailbone, ribs and pelvis. Nerve damage from the spinal injury has resulted in numbness in his extremities, frequent weakening of his legs and embarrassing incontinence among numerous other concerns - had these been addressed in a timely manner (much like they would have been if not WC injury) his suffering could have been decreased significantly thereby improving his quality of life. The most serious injury he suffered was the hip break (acetabuler break) the worse break possible - it was broken in four places. As alluded to previously, an injury this severe should have been stabilized by surgery - allowing it to heal properly and not leave him suffering in chronic pain. WC puts such demands on providers to cut corners in order to save money that, in my husbands case, his doctor decided to do absolutely nothing but send him home instructing him to stay in a wheelchair 100 % of the time for several months. This doctor did not follow up with an exam or x-rays to make sure everything had healed properly. When my husband tried to explain to him the degree of pain he was still in the Dr said hmmm that shouldn’t be and then said “I can’t do anything else for you…”. This Dr. was so engrossed with saving WC some money that he disregarded his patients plea for help- how dispassionate and cold. The way this physician treated my husband goes against almost every part of the hippocratic oath which he swore to uphold upon graduation.
After being in pain for years, with no help from WC when it came to pinpointing its primary source, we paid out of pocket for a film that revealed his pelvis had been broken in the accident. This was never discovered previously by the orthopedist, again, due to cutting corners to save WC money they didn't take the necessary films to do a thorough job. We have a hearing with WC before a judge in March to request approval of a doctor who can address his broken tailbone - regardless of the fact that he can hardly sit without being in excruciating pain WC has denied him access to a doctor to treat it.
Immediately after the accident WC paid for home care for my husband and I was his caretaker when they were not here. Once they stopped providing this in home care I had to take over caring for him in addition to taking care of our then one year old daughter. I soon realized that I could not work and take care of both of them so I had to leave my job to stay home. As a result of my loss of income we have used up every penny of savings and 401 K, that we worked so hard to earn. We had to purchase anything medically necessary for Randall that WC was denying or losing track of. In addition to all this bad news, he has had to go out on disability (10/10) due to the deterioration of his condition and as a result our income has been cut substantially. This leaves us struggling to survive with no savings and significant decrease in income. I am the primary caregiver of both my husband and 5 year old daughter and all I able to contribute financially is what I can find the time to sell on eBay and needless to say we are coming up short.
All of our credit cards have been turned over to collections and our house note is in default and I am terrified. My heart breaks for my only child my daughter who is just 5 years old - I want her to remember more than this devastating situation about her dad and what undeserved hard times we are facing. You can ask anyone who knows my husband and they will all say the same that he is one of the kindest, caring, and conscientious people they know. I know that he doesn’t deserve the heartache he is having to endure. He has worked hard his entire life, since the age of 15, up until he could no longer because of his injuries; and I know that prior to this accident he had saved and saved and was looking so forward to retiring and having fun times as a family. He hasn’t lost sight of those dreams but the money he had saved to fund them is all gone. Despite everything somehow he still maintains a positive outlook on life which makes him a much stronger person than I.
We all have faith that God will see us through this one way or the other but some days it is just so hard to maintain a positive outlook. We would be truly grateful for any help - do only as your heart leads you to do!
God Bless

Hi, I'm new to this so please bear with me.....

I am a 35 year old single mother of four beautiful children aged 10, 9, 5 and 5 months. I have a spinal injury that after many tests and consultations with Dr's and Neurosurgeons is inoperable and I now have to just 'deal with the pain', which I do, without medication, as I didn't want to add another problem to my ever growing list of health related issues that stem from the issues with my spine.

I discovered just over a year ago that I have a brother and sister (twins) who are 10 years younger than me. It was a massive shock but since finding out about each other we communicate on an almost daily basis through a social networking site and on skype and it feels like we have always known about each other. My children have no-one apart from myself and my mum and to have discovered my siblings and their children has been brilliant for us all.

We desperately want to go and see my brother and sister and their families but we need to fly and to be able to do so we all need a passport, which, having worked it out, is going to be very costly.

I have managed to find someone I know who falls into several of the categories to countersign our passport application forms so I have managed to save some money there and I have, through selling some items on ebay, managed to raise the money for all the photos to be taken and for copies of all of our full birth certificates, but the actual cost of the passports is proving harder to raise the money for.

I am embarrassed and ashamed that I am having to 'beg' for help but I do not want to go down the route of having to borrow the money from a loan company as the interest rates are astronomical and as desperate as I am to meet my siblings, I do not want to do so by getting us into debt as I spent 10 years paying debts off and we now live debt free, buying only what we can afford. We live within our means, do not holiday; in fact my children have never been fortunate enough to holiday; this is something I feel very upset about as I have many happy memories from my childhood family holidays....It breaks my heart when holiday adverts are on the television.

Any help will be gratefully received, no matter how small as we are all too aware - every penny helps!!

Thank you in advance for reading.

In 2007 I purchased an old 1982 O'day 25 sailboat on Ebay. It needed a lot of work and I went about fixing it up and outfitting it to sail. I'll post some pictures in the future or email you some to show you. I re-launched her in June 2009 under her origional name; Shadubie. The plan was to sail around Buzzards Bay out of New Bedford, Ma until I was confident enough to sail or cruise longer distances until one day I would venture away for ever. It's sounds foolish, but it's my dream and slowly it has been coming true. As of 2009 I've sailed Buzzards bay and Narragansitt Bay and out to Green Port, Long Island. I'll be sailing all the Islands in the area for another year or two, But money has become an issue. So much so, that I may be forced to sell the boat, or even abandon it to rising marina costs. I am looking for funds to keep her sailing. This is a real great boat and it is strange to say that I've developed a love for her akin to having a girl friend. Anyone who has ever had a boat, and put in a lot of sweat equity into it, should understand. Any way, Please Donate what you can to keep Shadubie and me sailing. A buck for luck?
With your help,Some day we'll be sailing away, and around the world.

My wife has lupus. As a result we moved across the country to a new state to better her condition. As a consequence, I have not been able to find a job and her insurance is quickly running out. She is getting better, however, she still depends upon a cocktail of medications to ensure her daily well-being.

I have tried for several months to land a job-any job, but with no luck. I am a published author and an historian with a background in archaeology and geology. My wife and I try to lead normal, quiet lives the best we can with her condition. I suffer from epilepsy and as a result I cannot work a night-shift as this will trigger myoclonic seizures.
My wife and I daily make sales on Amazon and eBay and I have been published several times in national publications and have given oral history presentations.

I am trying the best I can in this tempestuous economy to create a healthy, stable home for my wife. However, with the looming threat of limited income and no insurance I can only do so much. I have attempted to create a book dealer business through eBay and Amazon and this has generated some income to supplement my writing income, but this is not enough to support my sick wife.
We try to stay active and engender a healthy lifestyle to encourage her recovery. I am still seeking employment, but as many of you know it is a tough battle. I love my wife very much and am thankful for the care and help she has received thus far. However, I cannot do this alone.

Anything you can do to help is appreciated. We will pay this forward.


Thank you.

I am a retired 67-year-old man living on a very small pension. In fact, it does not cover my basic needs, so I have to see how I can get some additional money to make ends meet and believe me it is not easy and quit frustrating. What helps me a little is that I am a half-full glass of water person. And I am always trying out something new, like this for example. It keeps me busy and avoids becoming depressed.
I would really appreciate your help and all donations big or small are very welcome.
I can also offer something in return like a Portrait of Michael Jackson printed on artistic paint canvas, aquarelle paper or as a digital file. It is a picture of Michael Jackson, turned into artistic paintings and printed in different types of Aquarelle, Pencil, Felt marker, chalk, pastels, watercolor, portraitist or oil painting on paint canvas, aquarelle paper or as a digital file with characteristics of famous artists like Van Gogh, Monet, and Cezanne among others,. It can also be done from your pictures or from photos of any person, portrait, object or landscape Shipping is unframed via registered airmail in a Bubble envelope or a cardboard or plastic tube for protection. Size up to 12” x 16”. You can look it up on Ebay it is Item number:290647178321. I can also help with computer problems, repair and unlock cell phones like Iphones and Blackberries, setup and host websites and many other things in this area.
Well thank you for your patience and taking the time to read this and hopefully I await your business and/or donations as well.
My very best regards to you,
Richard

I am really struggling to make ends meat right now. I had £10,000 of Credit Card debt run up just paying bills and a few years of stupidity spending beyond my means.I have been slowly getting myself back on my feet. I have managed to get this debt down to £4600 as of 4th Dec 2012 by living on the bread line but I am really struggling to keep a roof over my head. I work full time and overtime to get by and really must remove this debt from my head to allow me to restart my life. I have fell upon some extremely difficult financial times from being stupid. Nothing more nothing less and its a life lesson learned. I am not one to EVER ask for help but I guess there is a first for everything.

I have come up with an idea that means you don`t have to donate to me to actually donate to me. How you may ask ? By using the auction site ebay. Everyone at one point of another buys from this site. Below is a link that if you copy and paste it in your browser will mean that if you buy something or anything from ebay I would receive a tiny percent of their profits via a cash back scheme. Its only pennies but every little will go a long way.

Its not much but its a start. Millions of people worldwide are using this site and if a few people used this link before purchase it would track the purchase and the percentage ebay take for their fees would give me a little cut and in no way affect your purchase. Please please if using ebay give this link a copy and paste and through time may an internet giant clear my feet. As soon as everything is paid off I will remove this link.

If this seems like too much effort a small donation would certainly help.

Below is the link, please copy and paste whole thing to your address bar and it will link purchase to my cashback. Please help and tell a friend who uses ebay. Anything at this time is worth a shot :(

Thank you all for your help

I’m really confused. I’ve always worked hard, I once had a nice job, haven’t been paid really well, but was able to save some money each month. Then I made some mistakes. I moved together with my girlfriend 6 years ago. She just started going to college at that time. She never had enough money and so whenever she needed something, I paid for it. For her car, for her clothes, for other bills. I know that was stupid, but I thought our love would last forever, and she always said that she will give it all back to me as soon as she finished college and found a good job. Then I lost my job 3 years ago when the company had to close down. Since that time I’ve been able to find only low paid jobs and it was impossible to pay all the bills with that little money. So I had to spend all my savings for us. Then 6 month ago my girlfriend broke up with me and moved out. Now I’m the one who would need her help, but she still can’t pay anything back or maybe also doesn’t want to.
Two month ago I also lost my last job because the company had to lay off some workers. All my money is gone and now I don’t know how to pay the rent or to pay the bill for repairing my car. I have no one to turn to and I already sold all I could on ebay. I don’t know how to go on. I feel so depressed and confused and I wouldn’t do this here if I had another chance. I don’t want much, just a little to get on my feet again. Thank you so much for any help!
