I was a employee of my previous company for over 10 years when after a merger I was laid off and given a joke of a severance package from them.

I have been looking for a new job for over 7 months now with no luck. Bills are piling up and I don't know what to do. I have offered services on craigslist.com and fiverr.com and have not really made enough to cover bills.

My son just turned 2 years old and I don't want him to have to grow up in the same atmosphere I did with my mom always struggling to make end meat.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Money, A Job, Anything. Im not a lazy person and just want to be a productive member of society and care for my family. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post.

Hi I am a 32 year old woman, from dayton ohio, who is in dire need of some help with paying for my wedding. I would have had the money for the wedding, scheduled on february 14th 2013 but my mom who recently died on march 11, 2012, did not have any insurance so I had to use the money we had saved to cover her funeral. ($6,400), I am a full time employee in the healthcare field, I have 6 children, and i have been with my boyfriend for 6 years. We have 3 kids together. If you can imagine it is very hard saving money with 6 children to take care of. If there is anyone out there that can and will help with any amount we would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

Because I believe in the power of prayer & the kindness of my fellow man, I've decided to swallow my pride & ask for help. This is not an action I am at all familiar with but am grasping at every straw to attempt to keep a roof over my family's head. We live in a modest house that we've called home for the past 20+ years.

I am a single mother who's been truly blessed with 4, beautiful, healthy children; 3 biological & a foster son that joined our family when he was 12…..he is now 23. My kids are the reason I continue to battle through what has been the most challenging, darkest phase of my 50 years on this Earth.

In the summer of 2011, life, as my family knew it, was forever changed. My son got off the school bus & proceeded to enter a crime scene upon opening the front door of the house we call home. It was immediately clear that we were victims of a daytime home invasion and robbery. A trail of splinters led straight to my bedroom door, which had been demolished in the process of gaining entrance & access to my personal belongings. Robbers took my box of trash bags & proceeded to fill them with anything that could be sold or traded. I came home to find that they had stolen everything of value that I had worked for in my 50 years of existence & everything of value that my kids cherished as well.

It didn't happen often, but on the occasion that I had a few extra dollars to spend on myself, I found pleasure in buying nice jewelry. Through the years, I had managed to accumulate a nice collection. Also, as a child, my father & I shared an interest in coin collecting. I had managed to hold on to several interesting coins my dad & I found. Weekly, he also, gave me & my brothers our allowance of a fifty cent piece each. I had somehow managed to hold on to many of these as well. I stored my coin collection in the bottom portion of my large armoire. This area is what my family referred to as "the safe." Anything of value, particularly sentimental, was given to me to be protected in the safe. A couple good examples are my, then, 10 year old son's game ball for hitting the Championship game winning grand slam home run & my daughter's horse riding medals, show jewelry & accessories, as well as a silver handled knife & sheath…….the only personal possession my foster son owned from his childhood. I carry a tremendous amount of guilt for not doing a better job of safe guarding my family's precious & dear possessions.

In addition to the lingering guilt, the robbery also resulted in life altering psychological effects to me & my family. I continue to wonder if & when I will ever fully recover & be the secure, self confident person I was before the robbery. Immediately following the break-in, I was consumed by finding out who was responsible & ways of obtaining this information…..I could think of nothing else. After several weeks of frantic guessing & running wild goose chases, I started to realize that regaining possession of my property was less likely as each day went by. I could feel myself falling into a dark, lonely place with deep despair…..& unfortunately, I was content to be there. For the next several months, I could not work, did not eat or sleep & rarely came out of my bedroom. There was a film in my head that ran & reran the events leading up to & immediately following the robbery…..filled with the "I should've"s, "I could've"s and "what ifs." I am plagued with distrust & no longer find interest in much of anything. I was robbed of far more than just pieces of property…..they stole my trust in mankind, my desire to thrive, my faith in the world & my sanity.

I have worked as a medical school curriculum manager for 21 years. As a result of my mental decline, I was unable to work for over three months which, consequentially, made it difficult to pay all of the bills. I managed to rob Peter to pay Paul for several months & kept up with everything except for my house payment. It is now in arrears nearly $5,000.00 & I am out of resources. For the first time in my life, I am facing foreclosure. It is embarrassing & humiliating & I don't know how to tell my kids that they are likely to have no place to call home in the very near future. I feel like such a failure! Even though I've been an exemplary employee for many years, as a consequence of the self doubting & tremendous stress, I am now faced with the strong potential of losing my job due to my inability to focus & my lack of desire to face each day, As if this wasn't enough for one person to handle, I am also witnessing the daily decline of my father & my hero due to end stage Parkinson's & Alzheimer's.

I'm not sure how this begging website works but if there is someone out there that is willing to make me a loan & work out a payment arrangement, I promise not to let you down.....you will be repaid! I am working hard to battle the persisting PTSD symptoms that continue to plague me. I just worry that facing homelessness may be more than I can handle. Lord, I hand it over to You coz I come to You a broken, wounded angel. I thank you for any consideration and appreciate all prayers. May God bless you many times & in many ways for your generosity & kindness!

I am in desperate need of a job. I have 15 years of experience inn all forms of HR, payroll, benefits, employee relations, hiring,policy and procedure - both in a office and plant area. I'm good at what I do, and enjoy it, but I have exhausted all I had saved to survive this long. If anyone knows anything about a job, or has open, I would really appreciate an opportunity. Thank you.

Dear Good Samaritan,
I am a single mother and I'm currently a PhD student. I am *so* close to finishing my dissertation...I need about 8-12 months to finish writing. I am seeking people to sponsor through any amount of dollars, this last year of tuition.
Even though I’ve always been a very hard worker, volunteer, loyal employee and dedicated student, my life circumstances have changed dramatically now that I am a single mother and I fear I will not be able to finish school. I *know* that if I could be sponsored to pay this last year’s tuition and help with my bills I would be able to successfully defend my thesis, apply for a job and become an ever-contributing member of society through helping to educate our future generation. I want to teach.
If you are in a position to help me get this PhD, I would be most appreciative, and I will undoubtedly “pay it forward” to others once I get back on my feet. Even if it's only a couple dollars, you will have my sincerest gratitude. Anything you can help me with, big or small will be so appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Best wishes to all.

Hi.

Thanks for taking the time to read my request. I'm 30 years old, still in college and living with my parents. I've made a lot of great accomplishments in my life with far less support than most people who make it this far. Of course, with that said I've also made plenty of mistakes.

I grew up with a single parent, and another parent who visited annually just to stir up emotions and make my life miserable. When I was 18, I decided to work really hard to lose weight so that I could join the US Air Force. I had a strict plan that I was going to follow to succeed in life.

Unfortunately my superiors in the USAF would not accommodate that plan to independence as they forced me to find my own way from the barracks to work (a 40 mi drive), so I had to immediately struggle to get my drivers licence and I had to buy a car on an Airman's paygrade.

My income wasn't enough to afford the car and gas and other living needs that I was expected to pay, so eventually I had to leave the Air Force before my term was up (under honorable conditions). I tried to work as a civilian. The transfer was tough and I was vastly uninformed about what to do and what my options were. I'm the first first generation college student of my extended family.

After some petty jobs that would each take more than 10 years to be able to earn enough to live independently, I finally found a nice nighttime custodian job that was at least simple enough for that kind of pay. I was the night time custodian, but I was also a guy to have on call at this retirement home where I worked. If people's toilets flooded or a nearly deaf resident left their tv on past quiet hours (once I could hear one through 3 floors!) I was the guy to send up to fix it.

Having my first satisfying job as a civilian, I was able to investigate community college during the day, so eventually I enrolled and tried taking a few classes while working full-time. College was my saving grace. I never felt like I belonged anywhere until I first started to take college courses in math, science, and philosophy. I found the tutoring lounge on campus, made a lot of friends there, and I spent many hours cramming and helping those in need.

This soon led to me finding financial aid, making arrangements with my parents (my mom and my stepfather) to let me go to school full-time while I lived with them, and putting in my 2 weeks notice at work to focus exclusively on school.

My counselors advised that I pick where I want to transfer to and then figure out the details of how to get there after I got accepted. I think this was bad advice. While I ended up choosing to transfer to a university that had my desired major, Biophysics, it was 60 miles away from where my parents lived. My car that I had bought when I was in the Air Force also eventually broke down from not being able to afford maintenance while I worked, and was towed away for being in the public street for too long.

Finally, I got accepted to UC San Diego to work towards a degree in Physics with a specialty in Biophysics. When it came time to transfer, I got as involved as I could on how and when I was supposed to receive the financial aid so that I could go get an apartment and everything, and my school kept telling me, "you should get it tomorrow" until about 2 weeks into my first quarter when I finally got the support.

Despite this rocky start, I managed to get into a good shape for myself, making my way slowly but surely through school. Learning a great deal. Eventually when I felt the struggle was too difficult, I changed my major to Neuroscience before I began my upper division coursework.

So, as I settled into my schooling and struggled with maintaining financial independence on financial aid, I managed to get myself into maintaining a great aquarium hobby, owned two great little kittens from a street cat program, led as president of a student organization for one year, and eventually I got married. I also carefully learned about the stock market and managed to make some great gains with money that I had invested from financial aid savings.

In 2010, my gains were over 100%. That amounted to $2000 doubling itself, but still, that says a lot about me as a trader. However, 6 months into my marriage, she said she wanted out, grabbed the car that we both paid into (most of the money was mine from stocks; $5500 worth), and refused to pay her share of 2 months rent. That happened in December of the year of 2010.

2011 was a difficult year for me. I fought hard to maintain things, especially my head, but it was tough. I lost 45 lbs from exercising regularly, made lots of new friends, and I got some volunteer work experience in a Neuroscience lab. But I just couldn't focus well enough to maintain my finances and my grades, so I had to drop out and live back with my parents.

Despite how tough it's been, not finding work, struggling with the ins and outs of the VA, and just needing a professional therapist to talk to and help me keep my head straight but never being able to get one, I've managed to recuperate well enough and learn a lot more about this bottom floor of society that I've been so desperately trying to escape my whole life.

I've gone looking for opportunity in every direction. I've tried changing my career goals, collecting recyclables, writing online, trying any online scheme that didn't include me forking out money to get it, imagining what I could write as a novel, tried to make money through playing video games, making goal after goal after goal for myself, but still just not being able to get just the right amount of money to put me back on my feet.

I'll be going back to school in April at the risk of having to do it as a homeless person if the VA doesn't pull through for me. They recently approved my 10% service connected disability status and now I need to jump over a few more hurdles to get my more significant service connected disabilities recognized. I'm also seeing what the vocational rehab people can do for me despite the bureaucratic issues that are stopping them from helping me all the way.

BTW, this whole time that I've gone through life with common lower class difficulties, I've been disabled with a number of small conditions that all add up to a hard time. I have lower back issues that the military has yet to own up to. Community college found also that I have a learning disability which makes some intellectual tasks show up as lower than average ability for me while the rest of my intellect is high enough to expect that I could easily get a Masters Degree or a PhD. My biggest difficulty in school is that they don't give me enough time to show them what I know or what I'm capable of.

From working with special needs students as a tutor, I have proven to myself that there is a major problem in the education system. Most teachers never simplify the material into a clear picture of what they want to teach. If you want someone to learn something, the last thing you should be fuzzy on is what it is exactly that you want them to learn. We can't all work like intuitive Jedi or sophisticated parrots.

If you help me out, here is a list of the priorities of what your money will go towards, in order of their priority If you would like to request that I spend your donation on a specific cause, please let me know:

1. A working cheap economic vehicle.
I need something that I can sleep in and that will take me wherever I need to go. Preferably something that can stow quite a few recyclables as well to pay for gas, but not an SUV or truck or van (Unless that's all that is cheap of course. Not likely but you never know.).
I'll aim for great gas mileage, but I'm thinking that I should attend some police car auctions to see what the cheapest deal I can find is. This car would make a great shelter for me while I return to my far away school.

2. Investing on the stock market.
Trust me, I know how to fish. If you want to send me a request for proof I'd be glad to compose some evidence of my finest moments as well as my worst to show you that I can do well for myself on the stock market, even during the recession. What I could really use right now, is a little bait. Trading is good money for me, but to make enough to make gains worth more than the commission cost (about $10), you need about $300-1000 per investment. $300 is more for the high risk lottery plays on the market. I even made a blog about it if you would like to see:
http://www.squidoo.com/TheYoungidealistEconomyBlog
If you are willing, we can arrange something personal so that you wont need to worry about me putting the money you offer at high risk and blow it all. Might even be able to arrange something where I could make money for you to prove myself before accepting your donation. Whatever the case, I know we'd have to make it a personal arrangement to satisfy the current laws.

3. Working towards paying my debts to my friends.
My friends have been really supportive through these hard times, though they are starving students themselves. To keep up my morale they've bought me food, given me a place to crash when they could, and even paid to have me join them at fun local events. I have some money that I've promised them back, and I plan on making due on those promises as soon as possible.

4. Paying off my debts with companies.
I've had times where I couldn't afford to pay for rent and had to leave, like when my wife left me to live with her parents. These issues follow me on my credit score and I would like to work towards removing them so that I can turn my life around.

5. Getting a good start towards paying off my student loans.
I know I won't be able to pay them off before I find a good career with my degree. I would just like to have something to start making some automatic payments with and put that part of my bad credit score behind me as well.

6. Buying a home.
My mom never owned a home. No offense meant to land lords out there, but I really think the rental system is way out of line. My mom was always a hard worker. Way better than me, yet she could never own a home because she didn't have the money. Meanwhile, people with money could live in great big houses for less than she even had to pay.
I want a house to own. Probably start with a condo and seek ways to improve it and flip a profit out of it. Then I want to keep building up money from housing until I can manage to build an apartment building.
If I could, I'd like to make an apartment building near a university that offers cheap housing using the Japanese capsule model or something even more economic and more comfortable.

7. Making an online tutoring site meant to offer free tutoring and tutoring for tips. Imagine a site (I have yet to know of one) where people can collect their resources on a class, much like they collect info on ratemyprofessor.com, but also seek help from others who are taking the class or who have taken the class. Donors like you can offer money to tutors who post their notes and stories on the site, alongside ratings from other students that they helped.
Some tutors can offer their rates for help, sell their notes online for cheap, or just offer their help whenever they can and ask to be tipped through paypal if someone likes their work. My hope is that such a site could help to put an end to sophistry in the college system once and for all, making education easy and affordable for everyone.

8. After I have everything I'm hoping for above, the sky is the limit. But I would prefer to put the extra money that I don't need to good uses. I would spread a little philanthropy around, give to others in need on this site and through other resources.
I'd also look to teach others how to fish. I think a great way for the economy to be fixed would be if philanthropists made some really good employee owned companies. Make the place pay for itself, skim a little off the top, and walk away knowing that you really were a job creator.
I think that everyone who is capable of work and who chooses to work deserves to have their own independent living situation. I know that we are a long way from that, but I tend to be an optimist. I would like to try and make the world a better place, if nothing else.

Aside form financial help, I'm interested in anything else that I could get that's useful. Advice, Neuroscience Career connections, work, hobby or volunteer work that can easily become lucrative, I'm really all ears. Thanks again for taking the time to read my request. I hope you find it in you to help me out, even get to know me if you'd like. Bet you $5000 I can make you laugh. Did I win? >;) it was worth a try anyway.

I'm a 29 year old full-time single mother, employee, and student. I have two children and currently take care of my sister and her two kids. Its been a struggle on me and I try to stretch my money as far as I can but it's not enough. I don't get or qualify for any assistance except child support and my children's father refuses to pay. I am at my lowest right now and need help desperately. It's so bad that I've contemplated suicide because I think my children would be better off. I have tested positive for cervical cancer and don't even have the extra to cover medical care. But I know that if something happens my children will be fine with my insurance. I'm stressed with no hope. I go days without eating so that everyone else can. I don't know how much more I can go through.

Hello, my name is Sarah O'Brien. Four years ago my mother was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told us there was nothing they could do. She came home and suffered. Myself and my daughter lived with her and my father. She was my daughters best friend. We watched her suffer and die. It tore my family apart. We used to be so close but she was our glue. My father moved to Kentucky and remarried. My sisters and I barely speak and my little brother who also lived with them lives in a motel room now. I couldn't bare to see the house be sold so I purchased it. My daughter is so proud to tell people that she was born in this house. I worked for TD Bank for 11 years. I was a hard working and dedicated employee. Six years later a new manager arrived named Liz. She was an abusive maniac. Harassed and belittled everyone any chance she got. I couldn't take it anymore after 5 years of this. I was suffering severe anxiety and it was affecting my health. I went out on sick leave and have been struggling ever since. She is still there after several complaints and I am now losing my mothers house which I wanted so much to save. This house is all that we have left of her and all my childhood memories are in this house. Please if anyone has it in their heart to help I would forever be grateful. Thank you so much in advance! If you can help please email me at sarahobrien4602@comcast.net Thank you, Sarah

I am normally self sufficient, but I find myself in a position where pride has no place. I am an hourly retail employee whose hours keep getting cut due to company budget constraints, however, my remaining hours rotate and are stretched out across each week in such a way, that it inhibits me from maintaining a second job, as I also commute about an hour each way. In addition, many second part time jobs (if I ever manage to find the time to hold one) only pay minimum wage, and full-time is scarce in my geographical location. I am trying to maintain a household with a disabled family member, expenses to include rent and utilities, but find that the cost of living keeps increasing and the income continues to decrease. I have much training and knowledge to offer toward my goal in finding a permanent, full-time job with benefits, but until that day comes, I am in need of financial assistance to help maintain the household and still be able to put gas in the car so I can even go to work.
I am normally the one who helps others, but now, I am in need of help...
Any financial help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I know that there are others out there who need money for more important things than I like medical treatment and I have tried to sell nearly everything I own to raise money to no avail. I just do not know what else to do.
My name is Georgina Hermsdorf, I am 45 years old and I make this post with a heavy and broken heart and dented pride.I am asking for funds for 3 purposes.
1.Medical Care to save my cat
(She is my priority right now)
2.Fix my car.
3.Relocate to Dallas Texas for Job Reasons.

1.My 14 year old cat Angelica Precious (Angel) whom I have had since 8 weeks old
(She was a Christmas gift to me from my whole family after a Coyote took my
Squeekers) needs blood work to determine if she has Hyperthyroidism, Diabetes or if her kidneys or liver are failing. This is a big thing for me because she is my baby, my best friend, my guardian angel, my everything. I love her so much and right now with all I am going thru she is all that keeps me strong, she is all that I have to hold on to. All I want at this very moment is to be able to get her the blood tests to find out for sure what is wrong, then if treatment is needed get her on treatment, if worst comes to worse and her liver or kidneys are failing then be able to put her to sleep have her cremated and be able to keep her ashes. All my other trouble seem inconsequential to this. I have been to every charity that helps pets that there is, and there is no help there.

2.My 1986 Buick Century Ltd not behaving right think it might be a problem with Carburetor or Transmission, I need this car for my demonstration job this job cannot be done by bus I have equipment and materials I have to take with me for the Demonstrations.

3.I want to relocate to Dallas Texas because I have 2 job opportunities there and if they do not pan out then I feel job opportunities there are better than Washington State period.

I have a sister in Dallas Texas who works for Hilton Reservations World Wide I used to work for them in Hemet CA she talked to them and they see no problem with me returning to work for them but I would have to go thru the application, interview and training process. To do that I need to be in Dallas Texas, have a Dallas Texas address. They will be doing another training class in October 2011

In addition the company (Prodemoworks based out of Arizona) I am currently working for doing in store demonstrations also does in store demonstrations in Dallas Texas, and I was able to get the name and email of the Dallas AM there I emailed her and she emailed me the name and contact information for the District supervisor whom I have contacted and she has already asked for my employee ID number so she can get me set up in the system.

I am actually hoping I can get a weekday schedule at Hilton and be able to work demonstrations on weekends. Yes work the 2 jobs. Also hoping to be able to go back to volunteering at a local animal shelter as I did in Ocean Shores WA for about 8 months.
I would like to leave for Dallas Texas October 1st 2011 or before. I am going by moving truck towing my car

My father is willing to put me up till October 1st 2011 but that is all he will do for me, he is and forgive me for saying this being a hard nose. (Long story there)

Also a friend of the family is willing to drive the moving truck for me but I would have to get him back to Tacoma Washington.

I would be taking a route that takes me thru Hemet California so that I can pick up some other personal belongings in storage there. (Another Long Story)

I really feel this is the best move for me, a fresh start in a new town where there are opportunities for me to find work and once again become a productive self supportive independent individual. Also it takes me away from bad memories of a relationship gone badly and the loss of a child.

If you would like to know the whole sordid story of how I ended up in the mess I am in or exactly how much ot will cost to accomplish, if you wish to mail a donation email me at geoherms@gmail.com.

I'm a teacher. You may think, "that's a well-paying job, why is she begging?" It's true. I do have a decent paying job. But no matter how hard I work, or how hard I try, I always seem to be behind on something.

I'm not a permanent employee, so I don't get paid in the summer, which leaves me scrambling to pay all the bills for those months. I try to save throughout the year to handle this burden, but something always comes up. I have massive amounts of student loans (over $30 000) and 2 weeks ago I had to pay $600 for car repairs. I'm also behind on my car payments, and don't have money for rent.

I worked for the first three weeks of July, but it was a low-paying job that basically only allowed me to pay for food and gas money.

I have major debt (those pesky student loans and one credit card) I can't seem to climb out of this hole. At times I feel helpless. I feel like I'm drowning and gasping for air all the time. I can only hope that some kind person out there will see that I am a hard worker and that I'm really trying to make ends meet but finding it extremely difficult right now.

I am going back to work in the fall, but I need some help until then. I'm a person who pays it forward, I've alway been involved in my community and I plan to keep being involved to show my appreciation.

Thank you and bless all of you.

This is as bad as it gets for me, I hate begging and I dont want to be a burden on society but i'm at my breaking point. 4 years ago out of high school I started working at Wal-mart, I started as a grocery stocker and made my way up to be a team lead as a truck unloader and supervisor. Things were great until last october when I witnessed a fellow employee being sexually harassed by someone underneath me. We filled a sexual harassment report with the managers but they blew us off. Since they refused to do anything to the kid he kept it up and then started underminding me as a supervisor because he knew he was getting away with it. I was told I needed to just "do the job" by another manager and the girl eventually quit after the kid assaulted her and tried to force himself on her in the parking lot. I was demoted and given the really bad jobs because of my "failure to supervise", then myself was picked on by the managers who used me as the scape goat. We tried talking to a lawyer but the case wasnt very good and would cost us too much. After months of being tormented and letting the kid crawl under my skin for the last time, I went to the office and told them I cant work for a company that endorses sexual harassment and sexual predators to work for them. I quit and regretfully didnt stay the two final weeks of the notice.

Since then I have been black listed by them when it comes to applying for other jobs. My room mate and only friend who lives around here, also worked with me and quit at the same time as me for the same reason. We both ended up having to terminate our lease in april after selling everything we owned other than our clothes, cars, my grill and a few necessities. I have no family to move back to, my parents are non-existant. I have lived out of my car and at a rest stop nearby for a good 4 months. I'm down to my last $5 due to last night my brake cables and brake fluid lines rotted out in my car from the terrible salting from the harsh winters. I finally have a job starting but I cant afford to get my car repaired now and that is going to compromise everything. I'm so worried about what I will do, the job pays bi-weekly and my first pay check wont be for 3 weeks after starting. Getting my car fixed means everything to me right now. Without it I am stranded. I bought the parts already but the service and labor fees are what is killing me the most. It will run about $200-300's.

Again I hate to beg, I feel so horrible even considering it, it feels so beneath me. I've always been the kind of person to donate and stick up for the people who are hard up, but now that I am in this position I dont know who to turn to. I'd be eternally grateful and will try to find some way to make it up if I can. God bless you all and may you never be put in this horrible situation. I would never wish it upon anyone :(

Love and hope to everyone

My problem started in July 2010. I was involved in an auto accident. I rear-ended a woman, who in turn rear-ended the person in front of her. The reason it happened was that the person in front of me hit their gas and got over to an open spot in the lane to my left. This move was so fast I didn't have room to either side and I saw the reason that driver moved was the cars in front of him or her were at a dead stop. We were traveling uphill so I was unable to see past the car and I had no idea people were stopped. I had less than a second to hit my brakes. Luckily no body was injured.

Here is where the story gets ugly. My mom had paid my auto insurance but she lost her job so I started to pay the premiums. I told my insurance agent to automatically deduct the premium and I gave her my bank information. So I was under the impression I had insurance. I did not. The agent only charged me for one month's premium and never set up the automatic deduction. Great. But there seemed to be a silver lining...the two other vehicles involved in the accident drove away before the police arrived. I did not get a ticket, I was completely sober and cooperative, and the police were surprised two victims of an accident would just drive away. Both parties got all of my information, they drove away before I got theirs. At the time of the accident I wasn't worried because I thought I had insurance.
When I called my agent I was informed that my policy lapsed because I hadn't paid my monthly premium.

I was curious if the fact that both of these people drove away would take the heat off of me. The police thought this was possible, after all, how can they prove they didn't smash up their vehicles further after they drove away to get more insurance money?

It gets worse. I left my job a few years ago because I had a job all but promised to me in Denver. Obviously, I didn't get the job in Denver. Not sure why, I aced the interview. So with no steady income (I was used to making about 42k yearly) I held hope I'd land a good job and had no choice to but to survive on a credit card for food and gas. That good job never came along. I ended up working overnights as a nurse assistant in the mental health unit. I've been drowning in debt, I had to get a car from what some consider a predatory lending car lot. I lost the hospital job in April for 'misconduct' (I worked nights and someone reported that I was sleeping, I wasn't but they didn't believe me so now I don't qualify for unemployment.) So, no income to pay for that vehicle and it got repossessed. But the best part is I got a letter in January 2011 stating that I owe one of the parties involved in the accident around 5k. I don't have it. If I had the money I would write both of the drivers involved in that accident fat checks right now, but I simply do not have the resources. The letter from the state dept of transportation stated that my license would be suspended unless I came up with the money. So I called the agency, and from my conversation with the state employee it sounded like my case would be reviewed. Nope. A collection agency sent me a letter saying in total I owe nearly 35k for the two cars and my credit cards.

In February I was on my way to a friend's house and I was pulled over because my temp tags were expired. The officer ran my license and I was handcuffed and taken to jail. I have never been arrested, and my driving record is excellent. The officer even thought it was silly. Regardless, now I have a court date in early July and I have the public defender taking my case. He said I either need to pay $1000 fine, or spend a minimum of 2 days in jail. So it looks as if I will be in jail at least 2 days because I have no money. Being without a vehicle is no picnic. My job search is limited to places on a bus route close to my home in Kansas City. I have no friends or family with that kind of money. I am not a drug addict, or a criminal. My career tanked, and I've kept falling through the cracks. I stay positive and I love life, but the anxiety and absence of pride in my life are making me isolate more. I can't afford to do anything. Luckily my brother is letting me stay in a spare room at his place or I may be homeless. I am a hard worker, I have a bachelor's degree, and I am a pleasant person to work with. But I have no car, no money, horrible credit, and bleak job prospects. Please do not think I feel sorry for myself. I've made stupid decisions that got me where I am. I take responsibility for putting myself in situations where these things happened. And especially for not paying attention to my financial obligations (the insurance premium). That being said, all I can do is look forward and do the best I can to get back on my feet. At this moment I feel like a wet puppy who is trying unsuccessfully to jump out of the tub during a bath. I need help. I don't know who to turn to. I've wanted to volunteer at some places to meet people and network but without a vehicle and a suspended license I can't even volunteer at most places. Please, if anyone can help, contact me with suggestions. I desperately need to file for bankruptcy but that costs around 1,800.00 and I can't afford that.

I also have around 27k in student loan debt. That debt along with the approximately 35k in unsecured debt leaves me with a very large amount of money that I have no realistic chance of paying back. The student loans will not be affected if I file for bankruptcy. Which is fine. As a matter of pride and doing what is right I don't like that my debts can simply be written off, but that is seemingly my only option. I would love to volunteer for a charity of my debtor's choosing to start to contribute something, but that proposal often times ends up sounding like a mutated version of indentured servitude.

I apologize for the rambling. This is the first time I have ever written all of this down at once and I feel better.

Thank you for your time.

Actually i am a teacher, i have two daughters, a wife and an old car, living in employee's quarters, i lost all my money and fell into deep debts with huge loans because of helping my brother's internet cafe business which finally ended up with heavy debts, the money supposed to be buying our house all gone. Now i can't afford to buy a house and have to pay a lot of bills. You may say i am a dumb silly idiot, losing own self to help others, but that exactly happened to me and my family.
I have tried everything to get money but really it's beyond my ability to solve the problem. I can't find any good method to get a house for my family. Finally i came to these cyberbeg and begging for money, i just want USD $60000.00 to set up a little apartment for my family, i hope someone can help me for this, if you need proof all about what i have mentioned i would send you a copy of all those document of simply send you all contact numbers of bank or department to investigate about myself.
Please help me, i just need a little apartment for my family. Thank you very much.

All I want is a chance to prove myself.I live in Anaheim CA.I have extensive experience doing things like 711,Wal-Mart,Pizza Hut,etc.
Unfortunately I was out of work for 2 years because my ID expired when I moved to a new state.It took me 2 years to get my birth certificate from California.Now I have moved back and been trying nonstop for the first 4 months of the year!
It's May now and though I have been on a few interviews there is still no job in sight.
I have several limitations which make it hard to find work:
1.I don't drive.I CAN but since I have no license or car I can't do any job that requires either.
2.I can't speak Spanish.Many of the service industry jobs I used to do,I won't be considered for because I am no bilingual.
3.I have no ability to travel or commute.I have to work in my immediate area because otherwise I would have no way to get back to where I sleep after work.
I am accepting donations of cash,checks,or preferably gift cards to places like Wal-Mart or Target(for clothing,hygiene items,and/or a cheap dispoable phone so potential employers can reach me).Any donation of any amount can be sent to:

However what would be of the most help is a job!Any job!I just need a small part time job that would allow me to go back to school.(I have a full scholarship but until I obtain a local ID and can pay the registration fees I cannot even register!I only have one year to go on my degree!)
Are you a manager at a fast food or convenience store franchise?Would you like to help someone who is a good worker get back on their feet?I have someplace I can stay as soon as I can prove I have a job with income no matter how small!And I am even willing to VOLUNTEER!That's right,I will work for FREE to prove my value as an employee!
Please!This is all I can think of to do!You are my last hope!I have been living like this for years now.I just want a chance.
I do not smoke,drink,or do any drugs!I just want a chance.

Hello,
I am a father of three and a veteran. We are about to lose our home and I have run out of money and time. The home we purchased is small but well cared for and the only home my youngest son with “Down Syndrome” has ever known. Leaving this home will be devastating to him. I am desperate to make sure he never suffers for wanting the basics like a home and food. We have tried Social Security but with unemployment, he is only eligible for $65 a month, after unemployment runs out he would only get small amount more that will not pay the mortgage. My unemployment ends in 3 weeks.
I left the military after 13 years of service so that my wife an only child could help care for her mother who died of cancer. We had hoped that I could start over in a career and eventually make up for what the military would have provided in retirement, unfortunately we were not lucky enough to secure employment with stable enough companies that allowed that to happen. Over the last several years, three companies that I have worked for have closed up shop and gone out of business; the last closed a plant in another state and replaced my position with an older company employee from the closed plant. That was in April of 2009. The economy here has unemployment of over 10% and finding another job has been impossible, we have to stay in this area to care for my wife’s father who is 78. As you can see, I am stuck in a difficult situation with few options.
We have tried to start up a small business of our own but we lack the capital to get things going. I need help to get a vending business started, which I hope will be able provide a stable income to save our children’s home and allow us to repay our debts and survive. I need to pay the bank to hold off foreclosure and have enough money for a trailer and equipment. I have never asked for help without thought of repayment but I am at the end of the rope. Any help will be greatly appreciated and when we are able, I will seek to help others in kind. Thank you for your kind thoughts and generosity.

I've been called by God to be a nurse. I have completed all of my prerequisites and will start in the nursing program in August 2011. My husband is currently working 3 jobs to keep us afloat (he lost his job almost 3 years ago and we've been able to muddle through since then by the grace of God) and though I've applied to hundreds of jobs myself, most employers in this economy aren't interested in an employee who has been a stay-at-home mom for the last 9 years.

My first semester of nursing school will cost approximately $2000 for books and tuition. I've already paid several hundred in uniforms and other supplies, but the remaining amount seems insurmountable without outside help. If you are financially able, please give the amount you feel led to give. If you're not financially able, please keep me and my family in your prayers.

God bless you and yours!

First of all, let me say that Im sure there are thousands of posts like mine. some are true, and others are not. This is my story.
I have always been a hard worker, with a good work ethic who is at work everyday and always on time and ready to work. I started work in the asbestos abatement field back in 2001, and life was good. we were finally able to afford to buy a home. the house cost 75,000 and was big enough for us to raise our 4 boys. then in 2009, the company i worked for went out of business, and did not give fore notice to any employee. I then collected unemployment benefits for the last 2 years. durning that time, i searched for suitable employment but to no avail. My UE benefits ended at the end of Jan 2011 which allowed us to pay the bills for Feb, then in March we had just enough money left to make the March house payment, but not enough to pay the other bills. since then, our Cable TV & gas have been disconnected, and we now have shut-off notices for phone / internet and garbage pick-up. Our only source of income is my wifes S.S.D.I in the amount of 525.00 per month. Back when we bought the house, we could not get conventional financing, but was able to find a private lender(at 10%) to finance the home. our mortgage payment is $730.00 dollars a month. if you do the math, you see that were on our way to being homeless. since im unemployed, and we purchased the home through a private lender we can not get refinanced. I have searched everywhere for some kind of help but none is available to us. so this is our last hope. First and foremost, i need a good paying job that will allow us to keep our home so if you have one that would be the best option to help us. If not, maybe someone could buy our home from the private lender, and let us pay what we can afford per month (low interest or no interest). We are good people, who have helped others when we were doing good ourselves and always give to our church and community when we can. We aren't looking for a hand out, and i willing to work hard to repay any kindness shown us. Since i can not find a job, i have created a webpage at http://funds.gofundme.com/3h1o4 to try to raise money to start a non profit business to benefit poor families with children that are in need of computers for use in school work and research. If i can do that, i could be making enough to support my family and keep our home. So if you can help us, please do and God bless you, and if you cant, then God bless you even more.

I'm past disillusioned. Friends and family always say "It will get better." I'm so sick of hearing that. After sending out easily THOUSANDS of resumes and only having a handful of interviews (that I'm fairly certain I rocked), I have nothing to show for my life. Unable to pay rent or bills, parents no longer able to help. All I do with my life is work odd jobs and apply for work. It's so disheartening. Networking and nepotism seems to be the only way to get a job these days, even if you excelled at a great school like I did.

I hate that it's come to begging for money. I just. Want. To. Work. I'm in LA and am looking to find work somewhere on the business side of the entertainment industry. My BS is in Econ w/ a focus in Entertainment. My background is in PR, Social Media, and as an Admin/Exec Assistant. (Resume available if you need it.) If any of you know anyone that needs an employee, I'll forever be in your debt. Seriously. I'll send you a birthday card for the rest of your life.

Thanks for reading this. I hate to have to come here and ask but I just have nowhere else to turn. It took some pride swallowing, but at this point, I don't have much pride left so it wasn't difficult.
Anything you can give is appreciated

Just celetrated nine months of sobriety on Chritmas Day! Really need a job the most. Problems getting job because of lovely parting gifts from alcoholism - horrible credit, gap on resume, no drivers license, criminal background (DUIs and alcohol related shenanigans no felonies or violence). Organization or person with the wisdom to hire me gets a highly intelligent, personable, gifted, energetic employee with tons of attributes to help bring solid value to operations. Culinary grad with some college.
Live in a sober house with other women in recovery. Also need help to pay rent to Little Creek Oxford House til I get on my feet.
MUCH GRATITUDE to anyone who can help.

My names Jason. I'm 39 ears old and in a wheelchair. In todays economy its really hard to find a job and since I work as an employee at a temp agency, we have been layed off till lord knows when. I recently ran into an issue with my motorized wheelchair. The control panel quit because of the rains we have had. I have a small manual chair, but that keeps me indoors where I am not able to go look for jobs and take care of my family. Please any help yo offer would be of most generous and very appreciative.

I have been looking for a nice reward for my two years, three months and eighteen days of sobriety.

After nearly eighteen years of daily drinking gin excess of a case of beer plus a day I made the life saving decision to quit. I spent two weeks in my bedroom when i was not working trying to cope with excessive withdrawal symptoms to include; severe shaking, cold sweats, never ending headaches, and food deprivation.

At the end of those two weeks I entered myself into a rehabilitation facility and began the process of becoming clean and sober. Through-out this entire time I worked a full time job, became the only employee for the company to specialize in installation, and tried to keep my marriage and family together.

I have since enrolled in Adult education classes and completed my Associates Degree in Human Service Management, began my Bachelors degree in Psychology on my way to becoming a Chemical Dependency Councilor for Troubled Teens and at risk Young adults.

I would like to reward myself by building the one and only Hotrod vehicle I will ever own. I have a specific idea of what I would like my Hotrod to look like including drive train, paint, and interior. A basic Hotrod in the fashion of the Classic Roadster on a Budget is my goal.

In order to achieve my goal I am in need of approximately $2500 for the frame, body, and running gear. I have an engine and the skill and desire to complete this "Reward to My Sobriety" in the next eighteen months.

Any and all assistance in allowing me to achieve this goal are very heart felt and appreciated. All progress will be documented and updated on a monthly basis for all contributors to see.

Thank you for your consideration and time in reading my request for assistance.

Have a great day.
