I saved up enough money for school but now it turns out I don't have money for living expenses. I get a work permit in November 2012, but by then I won't have any money for next year. The expenses for each of the two years is $17,000, and I saved up just for one year. I need help in making ends meet. I have been looking for work on campus and it's not working out since I was told to wait until August and September for cleaning jobs and restaurant jobs at the school. All the tutoring jobs I have applied for on campus have not materialized so far.

If I do not finish this school, it is over for me. I spent many years in the US in school since 2001, and it resulted in nothing because they didn't give me a work permit, and they did not allow me to stay.I got two bachelors degrees from there but since I did not have citizenship or a green card, I had to leave.

If I finish school here in Canada, I will get a three year work permit, and I can finally be useful to myself and my family. I need to pay back money that I owe my uncle for paying for my primary and secondary education back home in the third world. I need to educate, or at least pay for my niece and nephew who are orphaned to go to college. I need to take care of my sick mother, I have been unable to do that so far because I had to pay for my education in the US out of pocket.

I have other on going problems such as loss of sight in one eye but then that is something to be dealt with when I finally finish school, it is not as urgent as getting the money to pay for school. No matter how badly everything else is going, even with my mom being sick and my being unable to send her money for treatment, school comes first even though ideally it should not be that way.

I have been involved in community service for many years. I worked with DC Habitat for Humanity on a house construction project. I also worked with refugees from 2010 to 2011 before I had to leave the US, I was tutoring English through International Rescue Committee. I am currently working with the Food Bank where I am, and over summer since I will have no on campus jobs, I plan on getting more volunteer jobs so I can give back to the community. Canada has given me so much, a chance at self improvement, so it's only natural that I want to say thank you to this great country.

I am not scared of working, infact when I was in the US I worked full time while going to school full time. I do not want to violate the student visa here in Canada because Canada is a kind country for immigrants and they will definitely give me the work permit come November 2012, as long as I do not work illegally before then.

I am planning to move out of my homestay right now and rent with schoolmates in order to minimize my expenses. I do not usually even eat things like meat, milk, eggs, all of which I do not like or I am allergic to. So I do know how to save money. I learned to live on very little while in the US so I need money to pay for my education so that I can maintain my student visa.

Please help, my family cannot afford to pay for my education, I do not have citizenship from a developed country to qualify for financial aid or scholarships, the scholarships from back home are mostly for those doing masters degrees and PhDs, I'm doing an associates degree right now. They also insist that you must not have already left the country before they give you the scholarship. I will be applying for scholarships in the schoool, and also some bursary from my government which might be only $500, and that is only if I can get someone back home to bribe someone in the Ministry of Education to get that bursary.

I have tried all ways to improve my life for many years, and this time education truly will be a key to improving my life. I am not a stranger to subjecting myself to medical experiments in order to earn more money to pay for school. I need help this time around, this is my last try at improving my future. Going back home will be a disaster since I do not have tall relatives (people with influence) to get me jobs. What's the point of my adding myself to the millions who are dependent on others for help?

Any amount which can be sent to my Paypal account will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

My son was recently accepted into a special needs private school. This school will help him where his public school has not been able to. It will give him a chance to learn and to get a better at the frustration he feels when he is unable to understand an assignment. He is also a severe asthmatic, who has been to the emergency room over 20 times in his young life. He is only 9. He is also allergic to dairy, eggs, wheat, beef , seafood,nuts and several other foods.

Due to his asthma and food allergies, I am also a young single mother and money is restricted. He thankfully received a partial scholarship to the school, but I am having trouble coming up with a portion of the remainder. I would appreciate any help from anyone out there. I need to come of with $10,000.

Even if nobody can help, I thank you for considering it.

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.

My husband and I live on a small family farm with our 2 lovely girls. We not only run the farm, but we both work full-time outside the home. We have been through a lot in our 9 yrs of marriage. Here is a short version of what we have gone through since 2003. When we got married my husband found out he had cancer. He lost his job because of it and we had to move in with family for 6 months till we found a home. Later on, I lost my job and we had to move in with other family members till we found another home. We family were able to put a home on the family farm that we run and we have been there for 7 yrs now. An uncle was about to lose his home, so we helped him out. Now we are very financially strapped. It seems when things are going well, BAM! We get slapped down. With all our misfortunes we have cleared out our savings and paying off our credit cards (which are cut up) and medical bills. We have also put a hold on having anymore kids because we just can't afford it. We would love at least 1 more, but right now that is impossible. My husband really deserves the help because he works so hard for all that he has gone through. Last winter he was helping family and friends out so much that he got pneumonia and almost had to be hospitalized. We don't live a life of luxury and never really take vacations. All our money goes to bills and food. I have been collecting cans to help pay for groceries, I use coupons and all our change goes into a jar. I have also sold some of my Breyer horse collection and coin collection to pay some bills. I was going to donate my eggs for some money, but I am over 30 yrs old so I can't. We are not on any kind of assistance so everything we pay for comes out of our pocket. It breaks my heart to hear our girls talk about their friends going to these fun places like The Great Wolf Lodge and the beach for the weekend because I know we can't afford it. My husband gets after me because all the gift cards that I get for the holidays I save and buys presents for the girls on their birthdays. Sometimes it's the only way to get them things. Our debt is almost $10,000 and every month I do try to pay extra on at least one. I can hardly sleep because I am so worried about our finances and I have become depressed because of it. My goal is to get out of this debt, give the girls some great family memories and hopefully have 1 more child. This "beg" is mainly for my husband and child becuase they deserve the best! Donations of any kind would be appreciated. Thank you so much and God Bless.

I do know this isn't conventional a normal post, however I ask you please to give me chance.

The economy sucks, don't we all agree?

Well it's hurt me badly as of recent months. However, I have finally some decent income coming next week. Utility companies do not want to listen to me when I tell them oh I have money coming next week, please, don't shut off my service. Since I am a small business owner I cannot get a payday loan or any type of assistance, I have tried. I have asked friends, neighbors and family to borrow the $ but even begging them has not got me a thin dime.

I need only five hundred dollars, yes, that's a rounded number for simplicity sake; I would love to get a gallon of milk, eggs and some protein in my refrigerator since I tired of looking at my pathetically empty refrigerator and freezer.

I can repay these funds within a week and am completely willing to pay a substancial amount of interest / fees for your trouble and willingness to help me. I do have some collateral , we could discuss. I need the $ before 5pm today, which is cutting it close, I know. Also I would prefer if someone could just Paypal the funds to me (since my gas tank is empty and the rather small time window).

Please help if you can, you will not be disappointed.

After years of study and hands-on experience I truly have The Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs.

However, in order to fund the Goose, I need to start by trading the Forex. Because of the leverage involved and my system that will limit my risk, I can start this venture with only $300 and a laptop.

I am currently homeless and tonight we are expecting a low of 17 degrees in Colorado Springs. Since I don't drink or do drugs I can take advantage of the emergency shelter locally.

However, many others are not so fortunate. They need help in ways that they are not currently receiving. Many of the homeless have animals, and for that reason alone, they are unable to use the shelter.

Others are like I used to be when I first started going through this ordeal. They are still in their cars and purposely avoid association with the homeless who are not mobile. They may still be working, receiving a government check or nothing at all.

Help Me Help Them by funding my forex trading venture.

What can you expect in return? Your help will not be in vain. If you read the blog you will be able to see the type of person I am (warts and all). I have tried everything from looking for full-time employment, working day labor which is no longer an option because of physical reasons and flying a sign on the side of the interstate.

In addition to the immediate help you provide me, you can also know that you have helped thousands of others in Colorado alone.

We are a family of 4, 2 kids and 2 adults. Our 11 year old son has autism, we also have a 9 year old daughter. My husband works full time, I just started a full time job but my payday comes once a month. We are barely making ends meet, we have been using food banks for help with food. We have cut down on what things we can, no cable, bare basic cell service, no entertainment, no eating out. We just need help getting things like milk, eggs and break, that we dont get through the food banks.

Anything can help, the kids eat breakfast and lunch at school because we qualify for free lunches. We get food stamps, but only $31 a month. That doesnt go too far.

Hello out there! I am 28, hoping to start a small, organic farm/homestead with my boyfriend, and I am looking for financial assistance in buying land and start-up costs. I have worked on a number of organic vegetable farms, selling both for market and CSA (community supported agriculture, where individuals or families buy a seasonal share and receive weekly boxes of produce). I have some experience with Biodynamic Farming (and intend to study it more), Permacultural design & philosophy, and natural building. I have the knowledge and will, and now I need the start up money!

Ideally I would like to grow medicinal plants (native & non-native) for seed and to sell as starts. I have some experience with this sort of business as well, and would probably start with some basics: lemon balm, peppermint, lavender, milk thistle, Echinacea, etc. We will also begin with a large vegetable garden to supply our own sustenance and to sell produce at a roadside farm-stand or local farmer's market (depending on our location). We will have chickens for eggs and meat, and, after a couple years, I hope to add goats and/or sheep, for milk, meat, and wool. I have learned to spin, and weave (on a four-harness floor loom), and felt, and I hope that we could add to our income with fiber and fiber arts created from our animals. Also interested in soap-making, but don't know much about that yet. Flowers are another potential crop.

We are looking to buy 10-20 acres, probably in the Pacific Northwest. We do have some money for a down payment, and this is a great time to buy property (low mortgage rates and low prices). Other start-up costs will be: building materials for a home, chicken coop, small barn, and fencing; seeds and potting soil; animal feed; fruit tree & perennial herb starts. Anything you could give would help out!! Thank you much, and happy growing!

Hello,
I am very new to this sort of thing, never have I asked strangers for anything before but there has never been anything I wanted more than a baby.
Husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for four years and have failed (my fault) The reason we failed is that as a teen I was diagnosed with cancer and obviously my parents opted for harsh treatments to keep me alive, only problem is that the treatments had a terrible affect on my reproductive organs and wiped out my eggs so the only way I can have a child and give my lovely husband a baby is by having ivf using another lady's egg's.
We do work and try to save to pay for this on our own but do not really earn enough and it never seems to mount up to what we need (£7,500), I am also getting older and worry that my chance to be a mother will slip away.
I understand that there are people in what you may feel is worse hell than I am in but truly some days I struggle to understand why this had to happen to me.
If you feel that you can help we would be forever in your debt.

My story is my body has sustained alot of battlewounds during pregnancy and I hope that the generosity of kind people out there would help me get closer to my dream of seeking plastic surgery with gorgeous getaways. I am a mother of two beautiful children I have a supportive loving partner who works long hard hours to keep our livelyhood ticking over. My reason for coming on this site is because I never put myself before family I'm scared this might devastate us financially. But I am so insecure and embarrassed about my tummy and breasts as they look like they belong to a sixty year old women and not a thirty year old women. I am and always have been petite. I'm an active person by nature, I love running but my stomach is saggy and stretched out from having 9 pound children and breast feeding 2 kids have made me breasts look like fried eggs. I feel like the ugly duckling in my family, my husband is gorgeous and my girls are stunning, I'm so scared my husband is going to turn his attention onto someone else one day. I need to start feeling vibrant and sexier again. Please help me break out of my ugly duckling ways. I have nothing to offer but my friendship and ever lasting gratitude. Thank you for listening to my story sincerely yours NZ

Hi,

My name is Ashley and I am a mom to 3 young children and also step mom to 4 additional children. His 4 are ages 13, 11, 8 and 7. And then our 3 are ages 5, 3 and 15 months.

My husband has a good job and works very hard but with the cost of living and his child support that he pays we just aren't making it. I myself have just gotten a job, but wont be starting until Monday. I had been a stay at home mom mostly due to the high cost of child care.

Anyway, my husband doesn't get paid until tomorrow. We have shut off notices for everything and I have absolutly no food in the house for dinner tonight. My children are right now eating lunch which thankfully I had just enough bread for PB&J, but after lunch I have nothing more to give them. I don't have eggs, I don't have cereal, I don't have any meat and I don't have any money at all.
And I have my 4 step children coming tonight - so even if I could scrap a little something to eat together it wont be nearlt enough for 7 children.
We do get food stamps but only $100 a month and it wont come until the 16th. I am trying to sell anything and everything on craigslist in hopes to get some cash for food but so far nothing is selling.
My kids had gotten a wii a couple of christmas' ago, I'm trying to sell that, my sewing machine etc. but nothing is selling!
I don't want a hand out, but if you would like to buy something I have to sell then that would be a huge blessing!

I don't mind if I have nothing to eat - but how do I explain to my children? Yesterday was my daughter's 3rd birthday and not only did they not have anything good to eat but not even so much as a card!

Please, I need help...

I am hoping to find someone with a big enough heart to help us out here. We have two children, 9 and 6, myself and my husband, and my step-mother. My husband hurt his arm in 2007 at work, and we are still in court with his former employer, because he lost use of his right arm. So he is unable to work, and we receive welfare money. I am a really bad type 1 diabetic and have been since I was 5, and am unable to maintain proper employment, so I am on on SSD. We also have my father's (he passed away at Christmas in 2010) fiance, who is may as well be a step-mother to me who lives with us, who has 3 types of cancer, all stage 4, and she is bedridden, and very very sick. (and she is only 57) We lost our baby son to SIDS in 2009, and things have just kept up being really difficult for us, everytime we almost catch up on bills, somebody dies or gets sick, or the car breaks, and then we end up borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. We have a really old house (pre-civil war) which is hard to keep heated in the winter, and hard to keep cool in the summer, and cant afford to fix the furnace, the water tanks, or the windows. Our car is a '99 van thats falling apart worse every day, and alls we do is drive to doctors and the grocery store. I am at the end of the rope here with being able to sell off any collectibles or music, or electronics that we have, I've been recycling bottles from family members, and saving up all the change we find, but it just isn't enough. My kids, I can't even afford them new summer clothes, and they're both growing like weeds. I have been lucky that I always prepare for the worst, and so I have a bunch of canned food, and we have a few chickens that give us eggs, but we are on our way to sinking beyond the point of saving. Please, we are good God-fearing people, we aren't out to buy ourselves some tv or motorcycle, we have no credit card debt, cuz we think its bad to do that, we just have nothing left to give. I would like to be able to fix our furnace, and insulate our hotwater tank, and maybe be able to fix our car better than we've been doing with metal tape and putty. I would like to be able to get a bag of fresh vegetables and fruit for the kids to stay healthy, and I would like to be able to pay our bills this month.

I am 45 years young and I am a single mother of a 5 year old son with Autism. He is truly wonderful and amazing and I have been truly blessed! I was devasted when he was diagnosed 4 years ago. He also has severe food allergies to Milk, Dairy, Cheese, All Nuts, Eggs, Beef, Pork, and Tomatoes. He has almost died due to allergic reactions to food. He still is eating Gerber Rice Cereal mixed with Similac Alimentum ($30.00 a can). He will only drink from a specific cup with a straw. He is not potty-trained yet and I am still purchasing diapers for him. I should own stock in the diaper industry at this point! He requires my care 24/7 so I am unable to work. Unfortunately, his father is a deadbeat and I don't get a dime or diaper from him. He abused me for years almost beating me to death. I am a Domestic Violence Survivor, no longer a victim! I moved to Kentucky with him prior to my son's birth leaving my family and friends behind. His family has nothing to do with me or my son because I had him arrested and he was incarcerated for a while. I have been in and out of shelters on the waiting list for Housing, which is long. I can't afford to go home to Boston, MA. I currently bear the burdens of Rent, Utilities, Food, Clothing, and Toiletries for both me and my son. I receive SSI for my son which is a monthly income of $674.00. I am on the verge of being evicted and my heat was turned off because I couldn't make payment. I want my son to be proud of me and the guilt is overwhelming!
If someone is reading this, please find it in your heart to help/donate to a wonderful little boy who is a gift to the world! I would be forever grateful!

I am 45 years young and I am a single mother of a 5 year old son with Autism. He is truly wonderful and amazing and I have been truly blessed! I was devasted when he was diagnosed 4 years ago. He also has severe food allergies to Milk, Dairy, Cheese, All Nuts, Eggs, Beef, Pork, and Tomatoes. He has almost died due to allergic reactions to food. He still is eating Gerber Rice Cereal mixed with Similac Alimentum ($30.00 a can). He will only drink from a specific cup with a straw. He is not potty-trained yet and I am still purchasing diapers for him. I should own stock in the diaper industry at this point! He requires my care 24/7 so I am unable to work. Unfortunately, his father is a deadbeat and I don't get a dime or diaper from him. He abused me for years almost beating me to death. I am a Domestic Violence Survivor, no longer a victim! I moved to Kentucky with him prior to my son's birth leaving my family and friends behind. His family has nothing to do with me or my son because I had him arrested and he was incarcerated for a while. I have been in and out of shelters on the waiting list for Housing, which is long. I can't afford to go home to Boston, MA. I currently bear the burdens of Rent, Utilities, Food, Clothing, and Toiletries for both me and my son. I receive SSI for my son which is a monthly income of $674.00. I am on the verge of being evicted and my heat was turned off because I couldn't make payment. I want my son to be proud of me and the guilt is overwhelming!
