Greetings,

My fiancee and I have been trying to plan our wedding for two months. During these two months I have had my employer threaten to terminate me (as my future husband is from Turkey, and they assumed I was going to visit there), my brother=who is struggling with drug addiction- steal $2000.00 we had saved from us, and we found out that the 2 family home we live in that belongs to my mother is teetering on the edge of foreclosure. So every extra penny we have is going towards helping her since she lost most of her income when my father passed away unexpectedly from heart failure. All my fiancee and I want to do is get married very simply with my immediate family present as his family cannot afford to make the trip from Turkey. We do not need much but every little bit would be greatly appreciated.

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Jean and I am a mother of three. I am married to William, for 4 years and we are NJ natives. I am a caregiver for my 60 year old mother who was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Failure in January of 2011.

In June of 2010 my mother came from Michigan to live with me with the intention of helping me and my husband by watching our children during our working hours. My husband and I both work very long hours, and the children would have been required to spend long periods of time alone. So my mother came to help us fill the gap. In October of 2010, my mother’s health took a turn for the worse and it was continually getting worse as the year progressed. By January of 2011 my mother was unable to stand for any length of time and was always short of breath.

On February 10th I admitted my mother to the emergency room @ ACMC/Mainland. She was immediately diagnosed with kidney failure. She was admitted to ICU and on February 12th she had a cardiac arrest, due to toxic levels of magnesium, in her system. My mother suffered a sustained brain injury and to this day has a deficit she will have to live with forever. This deficit has taken away her ability to drive, live on her own, or be without some type of supervision.

My family suffered an extreme financial crisis that is ongoing and increasingly more devastating. I was out of work on FMLA for 8 weeks without pay. I was given $1200 in disability payments. I was allowed back to work, but with a significant decrease in pay and a change of position.

We have fallen behind in our bills in a catastrophic way. It seems the more we pay the more we owe. In fact, for the last week we have been without running water. Our gas has been off for three weeks and we use that for hot water, heat, and cooking. Our bank fees for the month of September have been astronomical (well over $400) for NSF charges and Service fees. This is just spiraling out of control. The children attend a local charter school and Pleasantville High school. Each child only has one pair of shoes and one uniform because I can’t get ahead of the curve to get them additional ones. The little ones need their school logo embroidered on the uniforms but that cost more than the shirt did.

We feel helpless and without some type of help we will continue to be a homeless family of six. We are currently living in a motel on the edge of our town. This is a pay by the hour type of place but it is the only place that will charge us by the week and will allow one of use to sleep on the floor. We are soliciting any type of help you can give. Please be mindful that we are hard working members of society. We have been working since we got out of high school. We are not beggars and we are willing to give back in the form of community service.
All I know is that we need help! Immediately or we’ll be past saving!
Thank you,

The course costs $415 and I hope that by saving and through donations I'll be able to get on the course in the next month (hopefully not an unrealistic aim). The course will then allow me to get a job teaching English, earning a better pay than my current job and giving me experience teaching which I believe will ultimately help me with my goal of getting into college. I dropped out of school when I was 16 due to bullying and have spent the last five years working minimum wage and dreaming of getting a career. I've always wanted to be a elementary school teacher and I believe that having this certificate and teaching experience will give my college application the edge I need to get accepted. Thank you for reading.

Years ago I had money in savings, I had great credit, donated to charities, and was never late on a single bill.....Until I met the mother of my child. I did not find out about her financial difficulties until after she was pregnant with our son. I spent large amounts paying off her creditors, so our child's future wasn't compromised by his mother's debt.

That was a mistake......

The mother of my child only wanted to take care of him after we ended our relationship....and she realized that I could pay her child support. For the last 6 years I have fought in court and finally have reached the point of having him a full 50%.

The problem is that the legal bills for the last 6 years for my attorney and 2 GALs were thousands of dollars. To keep up the payments for my fight, all other bills had to be charged, and my college tuition all went on school loans. Those loans were put on forebearance and the interest has piled up. In addition, I am allergic to just about everything except food and have had to have treatments to keep my allergy attacks under control. I also suffer from sleep apnea and have a costly machine and more medical bills from that.

After never missing a bill or paying late in my entire life, I finally missed payments early this year and declared bankruptcy in mid-year.

However, my mounting school debt is still there, plus the attorney fees from both the custody battle and the bankruptcy. I still have to pay child support, even though my son lives with me 1/2 time, because I can't afford to pay my attorney to fight it.

I have two mortgages on my home, (which has lost value) and can barely make the payments. Every month I am on the edge of not being able to pay all of my bills.

At my current employer, there are many jobs that I can not apply for per company policy. I work long hours and have nearly an hour commute each day, plus an extra 1/2 hour to get my child to school on days I have him. So my working hours outside of my first job are limited. No one seems willing to hire me for a second job due to this.

I would love to be able to pay all of my bills each month, without having to worry if the check will clear, or if I can buy gas today.

Any amount would help and would be greatly appreciated.

I have been dancing on the edge of the sword for three years. I almost made it. I have 12 hours and student teaching left. Three years ago, I had to file bankruptcy or lose my house. Last year, I took a 17000 cut in pay so that I could keep a job. This year my financial aid was cut by two thirds from 3000 to 800. I have twelve hours left, just twelve hours. Classes cost 1500 at my current salary i can't afford that. If i can finish my degree, I can get my teaching license and never be in this place again. please help.

I am ashamed to be doing thi but I have no other choice.My husband is mentally and physically ill.Ihave almst lost him twice in the last couple of years.We are 2000.00 behnd on our rent.The place is up for saleas well we would to bu it.He wants 83000.00 for the house and 7 acres.This would keep us from being evicted and having to move again.We are so scared of what will happen to us and our babies.these babies are our chldren as we could not have any of our own.I work but I don't bring in enough to get us caught up.PLEASE PLEASE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY HOME,MY BABIES,OR MY HUSBAND.If we lose our home and our babies I am afraid it will send him over the edge eithe by suicide or heart attack because of the stress.We would not be in this mess ifit hadn't been for a series of problems that seemed to come out of nowhere.I am pleading with you and with God to help us.We need this before 9/26/11 PLEASE PLEASE OH GOD PLEASE.

I have been out of work for a year now in greece. My employer just showed me the door unfairly with no compensation, i am a foreigner and live with my also jobless sis. I am handworking and can do any work to sustain me..but i haven't landed anything even babysitting or house cleaning, i need 600 euros for bills alone each month..please someone, anyone, be touched and assist, even give me work to pay up my debts, i am living on edge, i have a paypal account..please help now, i will help someone else tomorrow..

I have been unemployed for 2 years with a degree in physics, astrophysics, and math, and almost 100k in student loan debt which is defaulting on me now. I would love to stop teetering on the edge of homelessness and be able to pay off my loans and take care of my family. To do this I need a job! I have teaching experience (3 years in a planetarium, years of tutoring, lab setup, assistant teaching, substitute teacher K-12, and STEM outreach). I am also a skilled researcher and hard worker. I am great at customer service, worked as an admin assistant for several years, as a park ranger/conservation assistant, a salesperson, and even a belly dance teacher. I am talented, motivated, and I want to work. If you have a job for me, please help! Prefer Idaho jobs, but at this point I'm desperate.

So my mom found some weed in my room and is kicking me out.
Honestly, she said she was going to kick me out if I kept doing this, but it's hard. My dad was my best friend as a kid. I was his personal nurse for the last few months of his life (he died a month ago). I just wanted something to take the edge off, ya know?
Really, I wouldn't even be asking for money if it weren't for my brother. We're very close and I'd like some money so we can get a trailer park lot or some ridiculously cheap place and live together.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get some kind of job very quickly and support us after that.

Hi. My name is Laura, and in the past few years I've been laid off, lost my home, sold everything I once owned and learned to live more frugally than I ever thought possible. I was saved from homelessness by friends with generous hearts and a sofa I could sleep on, and through it all I've learned some very valuable lessons about gratitude, and what really matters in life.

I have started my own small business, and am gradually clawing my way back from the brink. I manage to scrape by from month to month, but like so many people I'm still always one unexpected expense away from disaster.

Then last week my trusty old laptop died after years of faithful service. I had to replace it, because my business depends on it. I got lucky and found a good, second hand machine at a bargain price, but that expense has pushed me over the edge, and I'm short about $75 for bills this month.

I'm doing everything in my power to earn that money before I end up back in the downward spiral of late fees and bank charges, but I'm running out of time. I found BegsList while I was looking online for help and information, and decided it can't do any harm to ask!

If you can send anything at all (even a quick prayer) it would really help, and would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

Before you read this, I'd just like to say if you have any second thoughts about giving, at all, please don't. I understand how hard it is to make money, and feel guilty enough just asking for help... if you can't afford/justify a donation, please keep me in your prayers.

My name is Andrew. I lived with my mother and my sister until 2001, when my mother died in a hit-and-run accident. It happened just before 9/11, so news coverage was cut short and the driver hasn't been found as far as I know. My sister was sent to live with my father, and I dropped out of school and lived on the streets, eating out of dumpsters and bathing in fountains, until a year ago. I found my way to a shelter, and then my sister found me. I now live with her, but she is on the edge of homelessness as well. Which is worsened by me being here. I've been job-hunting everyday, but I'm limited by lack of transportation or money for it. Since I dropped out of school, I never got my high school diploma. All of the employers that have taken the time to talk to me have said that I won't even be considered without a diploma or an equivalency degree. I've recently found out that I can't go back to high school if I'm over 19. My only option is to get a GED, but I can't afford the $50 that it costs for me to take the test. So, that's what I'm asking for. I hope you can see through what I've written that I'm an intelligent individual who's just had some hard times. I know I can pass the GED, and if I could just get a job, I could help pay my sister's rent, and for more self-education.

If you can find it in your heart and your wallet to donate any spare penny, I would be wordlessly grateful... Thank you for taking the time to read this, and take care of yourself.

I HAVE 2 PARENTS AND A HANDICAPPED BROTHER WHO CANNOT GET HEAT FOR THE WINTER,,I OWE 10K TO THE IRS IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS, I AM ON THE EDGE OF HOMELESSNESS, IF I WAS AN IRRESPONSIBLE PERSON I COULD UNDERSTAND.. MY JOB CANNOT SUPPORT, MY PARENTS NOR ABLE TO COVER MY TAXES.. I WILL ACCEPT WHATEVER YOU CAN GIVE..

My wife, who is undergoing medical treatments, wrecked our car yesterday. We only had liability insurance and it was her fault. The repairs are over 3000 and we have no savings. We are scraping by each month but this will put us over the edge financially. I am currently working two jobs to get out of debt but with additional medical bills and treatment the insurance won't cover and now this, we are facing disaster. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

you would be changing the lives of a family on the edge of ruin. It is a long story and I would be happy to tell you about it. In short, we need to pay off our car in order to deal with the unexpectedly high cost of becoming full-time care givers to my stepson and his young sister. We've always been the primary caregivers to my stepson, but now the mother is all but out of the picture and we are also caring for her daughter most of the time. We love them, but we have to drastically cut costs. If we could pay off our car, we would have $300 to $500 extra every month and it would make all the difference. We do not even know how we are going to pay for groceries this week. Please help us if you are able, anything would help really.
