Eight Tags

I am entering my senior year of college. I have been working full-time throughout my college career to help support my family--my mother, who has been laid off and unable to find a job that pays as high as she needs, my sister and her daughter (my eight month old niece), who I also babysit whenever possible, and my boyfriend, who also lives with us. We all work as much as we can -- my mother works three jobs. We need assistance, to keep our home, to keep necessary hygienic products and food in our home, to pay college debt, etc. Absolutely anything will help.

I am a single mother of four and eight months pregnant. I lost my job in Jan. due to "too many call-ins" I was a busser at a sophisticated buffet in a Casino therefore could not lift anymore heavy bus tubs. It was starting to harm my baby. As a result of me having to be call in to go to doctor's appointments and check-ups, I was terminated. I've been seeking other employment although it is difficult for anyone to hire due to I am at my Last month. At this time I am help for my rent. Today is the 20th of May & I will probably be evicted in 2 days. I have never asked for help. In this case, I have four innocent children who will be thrown out to the street. I beg in the name of Jesus for help please. There is a GOD and HE will surely see all good deeds! Please and Thank you very much!!!

I am a wise genuinely trustworthy woman and straightshooter..I will not exaggerate to make my situation out to be worse than it is. I have been out of work for a few months and I am in need of approximately
$3000 to stay in my home I've been renting for eight years. Its also the house I was raised in so it's meaningful to my kids and I even though I'm just renting..I was raised to be a caring empathetic person and I can relate to a kind giving soul like that of a person who is thoughtful enough to donate to the less fortunate..when it boils down,I am in this situation simply because I refuse to tolerate any man whose heart is in the wrong place. Ive had alot of terrible things happen to me in my life as many have ..but most of it I would not change if I could ...this spot I'm in now~is one I would change if I could go back :-).... I've put alot of blood swear and tears into keeping my home for my kids. I fell into a depression during the holidays and I've had bad luck since then. But now finally I have found some faith deep in my heart that I can turn this nightmare around ..I'm regretful for letting myself get as weak as I did.I am feeling strong enough to fight again. I just need a miracle to help me keep my home..I thank you and would be eternally grateful and. I will not let myself or my kids or buddy or p-nut (my dog and cat)..down again. I believe there's a reason why this is happening..I never in my life thought I would be spending a beautiful day like today on a begging website ..It really opens my eyes to a different light..in a strange scary but good way.. I am begging. I hope I never
have to say those words again..at least not for this reason!

I need help to pay my rent which my landlord gave me till 4/27/2012 to pay in full and then rent for May is do on the 1st. I am trying to get back on my feet after I was battling an illness and my husband had lost his job in November. He is back to work as of January 30th but we are still behind the eight ball. HELP??? Please we will pay back with any reasonable terms.

Hi, I'm Brittany, and I'd like to describe an unfortunate event that has recently befallen me.

Four months ago, during the holiday season I received a call from my mom who was facing some rather emotionally tumultuous times. She related to me that she felt like she just could not endure her life any longer and was considering ending it.

I was personally extremely concerned, as I have always highly valued and admired her. At her request, I quickly forsook all my current ambitions to come to her aid. I moved into her apartment with her and tried to soothe her with my company, and also advised her about healthy lifestyle choices that could help balance out her severe depression and alcoholism. I got a job and began helping her pay her bills when her boyfriend showed up. His first words to me were literally "I'm marrying your mother" not long after he began to command my mom to kick me out.

After many attempts to assure them I would surely save money to get my own apartment, I bought a truck to get worked on and began to save money for an apartment. At first I considered moving to stay with other family members, but eventually decided to stay in Sarasota and get my own apartment.

Without giving me any notice to find another place to live, my new "step father" stated that I would no longer be welcome there, although they knew I had no other options or any money to get an apartment.

They then went to a judge and filed a Marchment act to have me involuntarily placed in a detox facility where I was released under forty-eight hours later with negative results for all substances, including alcohol.

Now I am left on the streets with nowhere to go.

What I am asking of anyone who reads this, please assist me with any kind of resources that you know of, such as live-in maid employment, rooms for rent, a place to stay until I save money for an apartment or anything that will help me be independent again.

Wow , Where do I start? Okay, first of all I was collecting unemployment after being laid off. Anyway apparently this quarter does not have enough in it because last year I was out of work for eight weeks following a major surgery. That's what lowered my quarter fro unemployment. I live in a rural area in Wisconsin and I have gone everywhere for help. All of the churches(which won't help), Human services which only helped with food stamps after making me wait over a month. I had to feed my kids from the food pantries which I am grateful for but they have limited items. My utilities and rent and car are all at risk right now. If I don't have a car I can't continue my job search as there is no public transportation.
To further make everything unbearable my youngest brother passed away on November 1st and we have no answers to his death. I just need someone willing to help me get back on my feet. I have taken the only job I could find for now. The pay is terrible and it's only part-time but I thought it would be easier to get a job if I were working. The pay won't cover my rent and utilities and car. I just need a break, Please help!! Please

Eight years ago, my wife was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease, a thyroid condition that really wears her down. She had to stop working as she could not make it through an 8-hour day. We had insurance coverage until last October when I lost my job. We have exhausted our resources. She finished the last of her medication in March and cannot get refills until she has the thyroid lab tests done and reviewed by a doctor. The tests are very expensive ($600-$800) and to maintain her medication will be another $100-$200 a month. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I have two children of my own and 3 foster children. I was wondering if anyone would like to help with toys and clothes or anything for the kids. Three of them are one year old girls, one is a two year old girl and I have an eight year old boy. I would eventually like to get a bigger house so I can help more children, I have my degree in early childhood education and love children. Thanks in advance!

hi I'm am twenty-one and I have recently applied for disability. I had a baby twenty-one months ago and I cant fit hardly any of my clothes anymore. I went from ninty-eight pounds to one hundred and thirty now. Loosing weight is a challenge. you can use my paypal jessica.w.herring227@gmail.com

Everything recently has gone to hell and back for me. My life has crashed and burned and I am not sure where I will end up. I moved to a small town with my boyfriend/fiance to support his going to a new collage. Long to short, after a year here, its not working out. When our lease is up I am out on my keester. I have a job, but only get around 4 to eight hours a week there. I have gone to every store in town trying to get another, anywhere, but no one is hiring in such a small town. When the lease on our appt. expires I will be homeless with a crap job that wont keep me if I dont have a place to stay.
However I have a chance to start again. A friend of mine is offering to let me move with her to another state, and stay in a house she is buying, but I have to save up money to do so. I have NONE. Literally. Every cent I make here is paying my current rent, and I am behind on that as well. I dont know what to do and my sister reccomended this site. She is moving over 3000 miles away and it will take alot of money for me to move. Any help would be appreicated, even if its just a word of support.

I'M ASKING FOR THE AMOUNT OF $800 TRILLION $800,000,000,000,000,000 EIGHT HUNDRED TRILLION DOLLARS AND WOULD LIKE IT DEPOSITED INTO MY ACCOUNT BY DIRECT DEPOSIT.

I've always been too proud and independent to ask for help... now I feel like im drowning. This is my last resort, I can't face the world with my poor excuse of a life!
The love of my life left me, left me with a note that said 'stay cool'. He had surrounded me with fake love and security. Convincing me that my best choice in life was to discharge from the military (after eight years of service) and be a stay at home mum to our children. I obliged. I loved him and I believed he loved me. I ask you, what would you have done??
So it turns out he never loved our children or myself. He left, never to be heard from since (eight months ago). I was left with combined debts totalling $180k. His not an Australian citizen meaning I am responsible for this debt. I have no income and two children. Is bankruptcy my only option?
Please help me, I have tried to stay composed and in control, I have tried to reinlist (not targets for fy 12/13), i have tried to find employment. I have a casual job, however I am not covering the loan repayments! I am begging for your help, please help me. I constantly ask myself 'how could i not have seen this coming??' but i loved him, i loved him so much. He was a professional on a good income and we had a family together. Was it wrong of me to feel secure. Was my choices considered normal, would you have done things differently?

I make bath salts, a family recipe to soothe muscles. For eight ounces, it is five dollars, and then the cost of shipping. All proceeds will go to keeping my family housed, healthy and fed. Hopefully...

Beg? OK! Pleeeeeeeeease give me money for a tequila bar! I am an old white guy living in Mexico, and I want to open a tequila bar. I have almost no money, because I drank most of it up. Yeah, I am a US Army vet, eight years including Gulf War six months in the desert, whole thing. Big deal. Maybe it made me crazy, I don't know. Probably did. Yeah, I am divorced, NOT homeless, not much family, no kids, few friends and shoes are six months old and smell BAD BAD BAD. I have a small apartment and enough food and all that, but I want to open a tequila bar. I will probably drink it all up, or give too much away, but I might just be able to make a living, and, maybe get married again and have some little rugrats. Got a girl in mind. Really pretty thing. But, I am a BROKE A$$ GRINGO in Mexico, and I want to open a TEQUILA BAR! I have some idea what it costs in a good spot, and it's not cheap. Got to bribe a lot of cops down here for just about everything, but they are nice people. I cannot return to the USA. I got nothing up there. Nothing and nobody.

I'm trying to raise an eight yr old boy,I've lost my main job,I am working two jobs now but my pay isn't even a fraction of what it was. I am slowly losing everything I have including our home, I really need help for my son and me.anything would help,please, thank you

I am a fighter. My story is a long one with many trials and tribulations; perhaps not much different or worse than others, I am not sure. My name is Elizabeth Newton and I live in Loveland, Colorado; the Sweetheart City and Gateway to the Rockies. I was raised by both parents in a middle class environment. I am the oldest of four, in which, three are brothers. I was a creative child who staged puppet shows and created clubs in our neighborhood. I am not sure if you remember the fuzzy sticky feet, but I made my own with left over pieces of carpet and sold them to my friends.
Moving on, I really struggled in school and got into a lot trouble. I was reckless, promiscuous, used drugs and alcohol and was dangerous. To keep it short, I dropped out in my junior year. When I reflect on those years, I remember some of what I did but mostly I forgot. I guess I felt as though I was being pulled by the strings of a puppet master whose name I now know is Bipolar.
When I turned 18 I shared an apartment with a friend. We both worked for the same nursing home and later for the Bureau of Reclamation. In was at the former job, I received my GED. I was still behaving recklessly resulting in a lot of missed work. But I was having fun being independent, partying all night but slowly losing control of my life.
I became pregnant by my boyfriend and we married several months later. My daughter is a grown woman. I then had another child four years later. Money was also a struggle. My husband wanted me to work but it did not make sense financially. I paid more for daycare then I was paid. When I found a position over the weekends, my husband refused to watch the children. That being said, I was still reckless – the mood would not go away – still a slave of the puppet master. Eventually the relationship became abusive and my husband left leaving $200 on the kitchen table. I did not have a car so I borrowed my father’s truck. I drove my father’s truck with my two small children in back to a safe house. However, it was not so safe. My husband who insulated homes, worked on the safe house. He found the truck and wrote things, I cannot mention here, on the outside of the truck. He coerced my grandmother to call me; and she did! Having to deal with these distractions kept me from focusing on me.
Good news! I was able to move into low income housing. It was a struggle to get my possessions; I took what I could. My father out of the blue wanted his truck back. My mother headed him off at the pass. I think I remember that my life settled down a bit. I enrolled in college. I loved college. In spite of this, I quit school to work from my mother at her computer store. Did I mention my parents were divorced? I am not sure it matters at this point. About six months later, the puppet master caught me and off I was again.
I had a boyfriend – I was 32 years old – and pregnant again…..This relationship was worse that the first. It included drinking, drugs, sexual and physical abuse – oh my, sigh. In the course of it all, I secured a position for one of the largest companies in Loveland. I was thrilled. I had actually come a long way. I divorced my second husband and found my own apartment.
Wow – raising three children on my own was not easy. We got by – I was able to provide what we needed. I forgot to mention I shared custody of my third child and had to pay child support. I never complained; I met my responsibility. I was performing very well at work and procured a position of a trainer. WeeHee – my new position allowed me to travel the globe. Can you imagine, me, the girl from Loveland, Colorado? During this time, I encountered a lot of problems with my ex-husband. Once, he called me at work and said he had a brain tumor. It was a joke; I did not find it funny.
I was promoted again returned to school and bought a house!!! I cannot think of the words to describe these accomplishments. I transformed from the woman driving my father’s truck to a home owner; kind of like the Home Sweet Home book. I was still partying, drinking, but not like before. The puppet master must have been on holiday. I met the man of my dreams and we married in 1998 (I think). We are still together.
The puppet master had those strings a rolling. I could and did accomplish anything. I could see what others could not. I finished school with ease and received my BA in Organization Development in 2005. What year did my story start? We bought a new home in a nice neighborhood. It is a modest home but fits us very well. I was still partying but it was not disrupting my work and home responsibilities.
CRASH! He let go – how could he let go? A woman pulled in front of us and totaled our car. I realize this does not sound traumatic, does it? I really do not know anymore. What I do know is this rocked my world. More than any other event did – and there were many. I could not recover. My performance fell down the well. I could not sleep. I drank a lot. I would even get up at night to drink because I could not sleep. The unthinkable happened. My strings let me down. I swallowed a bottle of pills. I was so afraid. I spent three days in the psychiatric hospital and two months in intensive outpatient therapy. During this time I was on short term disability. I am a fighter; I have never let my circumstances stop me. I returned to work for about two months. Nevertheless, the strings dropped again, were they ever pulled, I am not sure; I spent eight days in hospital. I was out of work again. This time when I returned to work there was no position waiting for me. I was laid off the summer of 2009. I lost it all in one short year.
Remember I am a fighter. I returned to school in July 2009 to obtain a masters degree and I graduated in early 2011. The problem? I obtained a degree and I could not use without further education. I still do not say this out loud. During this time, I landed a part time job as an instructor for students seeking their AAS Human Resources degree. I make a third of the salary I previously did. I have performed this job since April 2010. It is hard. I forget – my memory is not that good. What you have reading are the highlights of my life.
Adult children and BABIES!! Not one baby; two and a one year old. My daughter was in a bad situation in Arizona. She was pregnant with twins, had a one year old daughter, had no car and was being evicted. The dad? Let’s say there is a lot to be desired. She packed as much as she could and moved in with us. Would anyone turn a loved one away in this situation? I could not. I was still drinking. As I write this, I now realize drinking was the one constant in my life. Sad. Her pregnancy had it challenges, but I think this is common. The first snowstorm of the year, December 30th, if you can believe that for Colorado, the babies had enough; my daughter was in labor. We called 911 since the roads were bad. Several hours later we welcomed two healthy baby girls! They will be one year old soon.
New Chapter. How many do we get? My daughter and 18 year old son live with us in our modest home. We clash, how we could not. I have been telling my doctor that I am depressed, damn strings. I can’t sleep and my body hurts so badly; especially when I lay down. Oh, I forgot to mention, no drinking! I quit over a year ago. Regrettably the depression and pain are driving my every moment. I think the puppet master is on vacation. There is no hope. I have been out of work too long. We are waiting for the repo man to get our car. We are barely holding on to the house. How can everything crash so fast and so hard? I am a fighter remember. My mind is full of hopelessness. I have a note that says “Please just let me go”. I am a fighter remember. I call the crisis line. They tell me to call 911. I don’t. I go to bed. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. Not a chance. The same message is repeating over and over in my head; “please let me go”. I tell my family I am driving to the hospital. I do not want anyone to come with me. I go alone.
Hospital

Life has not been easy for me since the death of my grandmother whom i lost due to a strange illness and the doctor could not detect the course of the illness.I have been living a terrible life,feeding from remains in any resturant i set my eyes.i sold my clothes to start a living but to no avail,it is either spent on my health or food.
Before now i have been searching for my parents who abadoned me when i was eight years old because they could not afford to pay my school fees anymore.I have been mocked by people,calling me all sort of names.Life has been a cheat on me and i do not feel like living anymore.Am now eighteen years of age do not know where to go to.
Please to those who must have read this i realy need your help because i feel like taken my life,nothing is too small.By assisting me,this is my e-mail address:klvnosagie5@gmail.com.May God reward you.

I am a 20 year old college student who has gotten himself into some financial debt. I have a low-paying part-time job but I am not able to get more than eight hours a week. This is not enough to pay for rent, utilities, food, and school. I am in the process of getting a new job where I can get more hours, but I could really use some help financially. I do not have enough money to pay this month (December's) rent. My landlord is trying to be understanding, but if I do not come up with the money by the 23rd I will be forced to evict my apartment. My family is both very small and very poor, and unable to help. I am blessed to be able to go to school via loans, but if I do not have a place to live I will have to drop out. I have been very frugal, eating mainly Ramen for months. If I could just get this months' rent ($415) I could buy enough time to get a better (or a second) job. Please help. I am in the middle of taking my finals and I can barely handle the stress in my life right now. I greatly appreciate any amount of money you can donate. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my troubles.

Without sufficient friends or family to rely on, a single person with special-needs pets needs your help in any amount. No steady work in spite of many interviews and diligent searching, multiple health issues, and lack of adequate support network have left this person in a desperate situation. Ten dollars will buy a bag of groceries. One hundred dollars will pay an electricity bill. Eight hundred dollars will help keep this person and the pets in their home. Eighty dollars will help keep communications open so this person can continue to look for work. Eighty-three dollars will buy prescription dry and canned pet food. Twenty dollars will pay for human prescriptions. Two hundred dollars will buy a warm winter coat that fits and which is suitable for job interviews. Five dollars will buy a thrift store garment in the person's current size (presentable clothes that fit are an issue). One hundred twenty dollars will buy a suit for a job interview. Sixty dollars will buy shoes that do not hurt and which are suitable for work. Thirty dollars will help pay for the laundromat for a couple of weeks. Fifteen dollars will buy an herbal supplement to help treat a life-threatening condition.

The financial situation for this person has become very dire due to lack of work. The person is applying for many types of jobs at any rate of pay. This is a skilled and educated individual who is eager to do any work of which the person is capabale. Any amount can help relieve the health-robbing pressure and burden on this person. Two hundred fifty dollars would allow the person to get a needed cleaning for the first time in over two years and to check on tooth pain and a possible jaw problem. Ten dollars will cover the required donation required to visit a low-income medical clinic. Twenty-five dollars will cover most urgent prescriptions for a month.

Two dollars will buy a little bit of fruit. Four hundred dollars will provide a vision exam and new glasses or a couple of pair of replacement lenses as this person is having difficulty seeing with the old glasses.

Please forgive the third person description. It is very hard to write this and just about impossible to use the word "I" in telling this story.

Even a tiny amount will help go for something necessary. No amount is too large or too small to be appreciated or put to practical use to help a very grateful person climb out of a very bad situation and create a more stable and secure life. Thank you again for reading.

We are begging for anyone who might want to help us! Two years ago i was laid off from work as a eight year plumber since then everything has went down hill for my family and i!

I am a 25year old single mom, struggling to make ends meet. I have a custody order witch does not allow relocation out of state, so I am here alone. My family all lives in other states. My parents would love to help me however they r on fixed income disability so they r not to hot themselves. I work part-time as housekeeper, about eight hours a week. Not enough I donot recieve child support and am really close to eviction notice I ride a bike to and from work and continually looking for more work. I am sitting at home alone on thanksgiving dat. I am not able to even enjoy the holiday with family due to income. My 4yr old lil girl is with her dad today and this is my first time ever to spend a holiday alone. It is more painful due to my landlord has already been knocking wanting rent and I have no money. I haven't got to work all week. So any donations .... Would mean the worlds to me. Please give me a smile to get through this holiday.
