Medical and other bills piling up

Posted by gshafer80 on 2012-05-17 11:58:40

When my daughter was born in January of 2011 she had to be extracted via a fast emergency c-section. She had been engaged in the birth canal but she disengaged herself and the umbilical cord came out. The doctor was concerned that the cord was strangling her and took my wife to emergency surgery. My daughter survived and is now healthy. My wife developed an infection from the procedure and spent three months with a wound vac and endured two more procedures to try and remove the infection. In the time since I have changed jobs and moved my family back to where I grew up so we could get help with child care for both the baby and her 6 year old half sister from my parents because of the costs of day care. My wife can no longer work. I tried for several months to sell my home. When the opportunity presented itself I moved my family and ceased making the payments on the home I was trying to sell. It is now being foreclosed on. We are covered up with medical bills both from her past before we were married and also from the procedures to stop her infection and also credit card bills that are partially thanks to my ex-wife. After reading through this site I have decided that I guess I am not too proud to ask for help from compassionate people. Please contact me if you have any questions or thoughts on my situation.

In need of reliable car any help

Posted by RockBtm on 2012-05-02 17:58:25

Im not sure this is something I want to do but im at the end of my rope. To sum it all up, I was laid off from my job in 2009, I lost my house in 2011, soon after, my wife left me for another man and took my child. I found a full time job Jan. 2012 for min wage, and also work pt mowing lawns. My fathers health has taken a turn for the worst and my mother has dementia, so I have moved in "to help" as well as try and get back on my feet. My wife and I are currently legally married and she has gotten engaged, and is living with my daughter and a strange man. Currently all the money I make goes to my lawyer (3800$ so far) because I havent seen my little one in over 4 months because her mother has fallen off the grid. I need to get this divorce and custody taken care of and get my daughter in a safer place. In the mean time my little truck has close to 200,000miles on it and it is falling apart, ill be lucky if it makes it another 6months. If I loose my truck ill loose the only full time job I was able to find and that just cant happen! I just need a reliable car, if anyone can help in any way, I would be beyond words. I dont know what to ask for other than help. thank you.

My life is a lifetime movie:(

Posted by DrowningSadly on 2012-02-22 00:58:46

Without telling you my whole life story and perhaps making you cry for hours, I'll highlight some of the big things that led me to this site.

I grew up with one parent. My mother, who struggled to make ends meet working as a CNA. When I was 16 I had two jobs to help with the bills my mom had.

When I was seventeen I was sexually assaulted by a supposed friend and conceived a child which I of course kept. I had my daughter only four days after graduating high school with very good grades.

Went to College for criminal justice in hopes of becoming a law enforcement officer or work at a correctional facility. Then I met a guy I fell in love with, we had a child together. He asked me to Marry him, and then 6 months after we got engaged, left me for someone ten years younger than me.

Here I sit. Single Mom, two kids. I did graduate college, and get a job in my field, however that isn't helping at all with catching up on all the bills my ex left me with and my student loan debt which is in default because I'm going paycheck to paycheck.

I don't qualify for any type of help, I wanted to file bankruptcy however an attorney is at least a thousand dollars which would take me like two years to save up for so I'm trying to file that myself to help my situation. My family is dysfunctional and I have no rich uncles or grandparents.

I dont understand why god thinks I have such strong shoulders! I can't carry this burden of life I have. It seems like there isn't a way out!! I'm facing losing my home, my paychecks that keep me going due to student loan ganishments, and I'm so stressed out I ant even think most days. How did I get here? I ask myself if I'm that bad of a person Karma has to hold me down and suffocate me?

I wish I could get any kind of help in life, even someone to tell me what to do!! I tried donating plasma but they kicked me out because my veins roll, I can't get anyone to hire me for a second job with the hours I work, and damnit my life just flipping sucks!!!!

Thanks for reading, I hope your life is better than mine is.

Please Help Pay For My College

Posted by payformycollege on 2012-01-28 15:58:17

I am a 26 year old college student in desperate need of funds to finish my degree. I am in a program to become a certified occupational therapist assistant and it is very expensive. I am single with no children yet. I got engaged two years ago to the love of my life and we cant afford to get married. Neither of us come from families with any kind of money so if we want it, we have to pay for it on our own. Its been very rough this past couple of years with being out of work, bouncing around from house to house just renting a room, losing my car, losing my dad to liver disease. I am trying to get back on my feet and the amount of loans I have already taken out for my AA is close to 18,000. I just want to be out of debt and not have to stress out about getting kicked out of school. Please help me. I dont know what else to do. Ive dug myself into a whole so deep of debt it will take a miracle to get me out.

Home and family.

Posted by emjay on 2012-01-24 07:58:54

Hi, My partner and I met on the internet and after 18 months of commuting 60 miles between homes, we decided to move in together. I was a single mother with one daughter and my partner had two daughters. As he already owned his home and I rented it was easier for me and my daughter to move. We have been living together now for 2 years, (yes all 5 of us) in a 2 bed house, as you can imagine it's tight!
At Christmas we got engaged and have started planning our wedding, We both work long hours but are both on low salaries. There is never anything spare at the end of the month so its not possible to save anything for the future.
We would love a nice wedding to bring our families together and also a home for all of us to be comfortable.
We are not asking for a lot as we know times are hard for everyone these days.
I have given to charities all my life, I even ran the marathon for a charity close to my families heart. If anyone could help out just a little bit, it would make our year. It would help us become a stronger, happier family

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my situation.

Thank you. xx

want to get my cna need some help

Posted by needymom26 on 2012-01-15 19:58:49

I am a 26 year old mother of two children. I am engaged to be married in june. My fiance is disabled, so i am the bread winner and do have a job. My job however doesnt pay that well and i would like to become a certified nursing assistant to better my situation and start on my path to a nursing career. The entire cost of the program is $935. I am only asking for the first $450 to secure my spot in the classes. I believe i can pay for the program with the payment plan they have at the school, but the $450 i would need by February 2nd and i do not think i would be able to obtain that much in such a short time. $450 may not seem like much money to some people but it would be so greatly appreciated by me and my family. I would even be willing to pay someone back if they would consider small payments.

small wedding <3

Posted by danierenee19 on 2012-01-05 12:58:27

Me and my fiance have been together 8 years. We have a son and possibly one on the way. We have been engaged for 6 years now and want to get married already. I would love to be able to pay for my own wedding, but everytime i'm able to put money aside we have to use it on something else. I know that i should just forget about the whole wedding thing and get married by court, but this wedding has been a dream of mine for a long time. I would love nothing more then to have a small beautiful wedding. If anyone can help out in any way i would greatly appreciate it. I know times are hard and i'm not really expecting anything out of this but i figured it would be my last attempt at having a wedding.

Thanks

I was once up to my neck in credit card debt. I have made a lot of progress, but a week ago I was laid off. My employers laid me off around the holidays time. I have a lot of bills and I honestly do not know how I will make ends meet. I am not a bum and I am finishing up college. I am currently looking my hardest for a job. I am even engaged. I have a beautiful and supporting fiancee who is struggling with me. Any help would mean a lot. It looks like we are in store for another cold holiday season. If any of you can find it in your hearts to help, I would greatly appreciate it. I feel bad asking others but sometimes as people all we have is each other. Thank you all, God Bless.

family in need of your financial help

Posted by blessyou on 2011-12-03 14:58:52

Our family has fallen on extremely hard times. I lost my job, but am trying to make ends meet with a new job which pays close to nothing working in a school with special needs children and young adults. My husband and I are really trying to keep our heads above water, but we are slowly drowning. Our daughter recently got engaged and we know that helping to give her a wedding and provide for our two sons is not possible. We are hard working people who just can not make ends meet working from paycheck to paycheck. If you are blessed with financial security and able to help, we are a family who would be so grateful. I find myself in tears quite a few times during the day in worry and frustration. I pray that we will be able to rise out of our deep debt and provide for our family. I know I should not complain because we do have our health and each other. There are people who do not have either of those things. But, please, if you can, please help us in any way that you can. Thank you and God Bless you.

Please Help with anything

Posted by BCRCDT on 2011-11-29 06:58:24

Please, I currently like many others, am in financial instability. I am working as the sole IT person at a unstable company of 60+ people. working 30 hours a week onsite (getting payed) and i work over 60 hours a week outside work (not payed) to keep my job. I am trying to pay off my credit card debts that is now down to $3,000. I also started paying for my student loans since I have been out of school for over 6 months now which are $60,000 and it is getting harder and harder to keep the monthly payments. I had to drop out of UofA in my 3rd year because i could not handle the strain of a full time job and school. I would very much so like to go back to school but with my credit card payments, loan payments, utilities and rent i just don't see it happening anytime soon. I am currently living with my new fiance (got engaged over the summer! :) i am very excited!) and now we are trying to save up for a wedding as well. She is still going to school at the UofA to become a Nurse and i am helping her financially with anything i can give.

The reason i decided to make this account is besides all of the above reasons. Both our cars are now in dire need of repair especially with winter around the corner. And anything you can give to a complete stranger would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading and have a great holiday season.

I don't know what else to do...

Posted by alice on 2011-11-15 15:58:06

I started at a four year university this fall, the first in my family to ever do so. I am a highly independent person and don't feel comfortable begging for money, but I don't know what else to do.
I have been blacklisted and unable to find work, meanwhile I'm unable to pay my rent, buy groceries or school supplies, not even basic toiletries; I have been without toothpaste and toilet paper for 3 weeks. I have no friends that can help, they all either have children or are unemployed and unable to spare any money for me. I don't qualify for any county aid because I made too much money earlier this year, so I have zero help for my medical bills that are now surmounting $15K, my car is going to be repossessed, I'm on the verge of eviction and half starving. My parents cannot help me because they are not in much better financial shape than me, I have not grandparents left and no valid cosigner to acquire an extra student loan. All of this while attending college for nursing, taking a 15 credit course load.
My savings are gone, my bank account is -$483.93 and counting, my landlord is evicting me in December if I can't come up with this month's and December's rent by the first of December. I am reusing everything I can, but am at this point only able to allow myself on very small meal per day or I will have NO food in one week. My cat is starving with me, and we have less than one weeks' food supply left and the food shelf here is so limited I'm on a waiting list. I have no cash, my fiancee's family won't help because they hate me and my fiancee is living two hours away from me, barely getting by as well.

I'm crying my eyes out in the school library typing this. It's the most humiliating and pitiful thing I've done in my life so far but I have no idea what else to do. Please help me. I've asked for help everywhere I should be able to find it but this is my last ditch effort. If this doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do. Please, anyone, anywhere, anything, help me. Anything would be greatly appreciated, even a few cents. I know I'm not going to get out of the situation that I'm in by using this site but all I could hope for was a little relief. Any help and I will consider you my saving grace and do my best to pay it forward when I get done with Medical School, if I make it that far. Please and Thank You for reading my story.

If you want the details of my life came to this, here you go...
I quit my great paying job of three years to concentrate on school more closely in June.
Since school started in August I have had the following happen:
A nervous breakdown caused by an imbalance of hormones from ovarian cysts that I had to seek medical attention for and cost me my job in absences.
Got engaged to the love of my life, and we suffered the loss of a child by ectopic pregnancy on September 9. I had to have emergency surgery as the ER dept. here did not figure out that was the problem until I was nearly dying. They had to remove the fetus, 15% of my left fallopian tube and had to perform a D & C of my uterus. All of this without medical insurance.
Finally got a new job at a local bar waiting tables and was promised 4 days per week after a one month training/probationary period. After a month, my shifts didn't go up but I wasn't contacted about my performance until my boss TEXTED me to have a meeting with him, where he fired me for being "too professional" and refused to elaborate, also informed me that he "extended the training period by two weeks" because he "wasn't sure about my performance" and decided since I was still on probation the last two weeks that he didn't have to pay me for it and never filled my tax information so there is no record of me ever working for him, other than whenever I try to get another job in town I am told that I lied about my work history because I didn't include the job on the list because I didn't exist but when I do, they call and he tell them one of two things: either that I never worked for him and I must be lying and delusional or that I didn't "work" for him, I just trained and wasn't a good "fit" so I shouldn't have put the bar for previous work experience. Keep in mind, this is a small town with a State University in it, and my old boss owns nearly 1/3 of the property and is very well known in the area, therefor: I somehow need to overcome his poor reference to get a job which is proving impossible.

Please Help Our Family

My Wife and I are both disabled Americans. She has had a major back fusion and two knee replacements as well as some heart woes. I myself have just had my second major back surgery, I have an implantable Cardiac Defibrilator and one total knee replacement.
We are both on a very low income, myself on Social Security Disabilaty, she on School Employees Retirement Disabilaty benefits. We have a vehicle that is almost twenty years old and on its last legs.. I am certain you get many letters like this everyday but we really would like some kind of assistance. We would love to be able to move to Vermont where we can be near our children and Grandchildren as they grow and flourish into strong Americans ans be near our Parents as they live out thier golden years. I know we are asking a lot but if there is anything you can do to truly show your compassion , we will speak on every t.v. station, every radio station, make posters, whatever it takes. To show our thanks and support. We're begging you.
The state of Ohio in its infinite wisdom is considering stopping paying my Medicare part b and take away my medicaid because we, "make too much gross income" by the time we pay all our bills we have maybe 50.00 left to last an entire month.
My Wifes Information::::
I was Married to a very wonderful man for 31 years. He developed heart disease and diabetes. He fought valiently but finaly succomed to the medical problems. I became very sad and was almost at the brink of a mental breakdown. I did become involved with the local Greif Counseling service as this helped me to ease my burden a small amount. I began talking to this nice fellow on Pogo.com which is an online gaming site where one may play all sorts of games such as Solitare etc. We hit it off and began internet dating in August of 2008. We arranged to meet in November and upon viewing each other we knew the bond we had felt over the air was a real bond and Leo dropped to his knees and askeed me to Marry him. We married a week later in November of 2008 and have been together ever since. Since than we have both become quite medically burdened ourselves, Leo has a thing called Sudden Cardiac death Syndrome and has had to have had an Automatic Implantable Cardiac Defibrilator instaled recently. We both suffer from back woes and must seek care frequently. Now we do have a 1996 Chevy Blazer that runs when it feels like it, the airconditioner is broken and what with being in the Midwest is very hot to have to drive around with the windows down. A computer part that costs 1500.00 for the A.B.S. system is out and we just can not afford to fix it. We love the vehicle as it was my first ever fully owned vehicle from a bank loan in my life. If We appreciate everything we have and are greatful for both this site and for all the kindness of others. Please vote for us and we shall make certain to pay it forward with our own kindness and see to it that others are blessed as we are. Thank you for reading and for helping out anyway you can.
My Information::::
My Wife and I will be Married for three years on November 28th.We met in late July or early August of 2008. She had just lost her husband of 31 years. I was myself looking for a somewhat different lifestyle than I was in currently. I was living at home at over 40, disabled with a moderate spinal disease and more or less going nowhere. Debbie and I hit it off right away and we were engaged in October and Married in November. We each have been each others rock and best friend and companion. I have since went into the Ministry and have undertaken many courses towards helping others to live as good a life as possible. Debbie is a great personal loss counselor in her own right. I recently became a heart patient and have had to have an Automatic Implantable cardiac defibrilator installed in my upper chest which has a built in pace maker. All this at only the age of 49.Debbie has had to have undergone major back surgery herself and have screws and cages ut into her lower back. This makes us totaly disabled yet we both have a teriffic outlook on life and are always willing to help others. Life is what you make it, not a series of bad events that bring you down. We both appreciate each day given unto us and are so greatful for all our friends, family, and fellow searchers of lifes Grace. If we were chosen to receive a New SUV as we live in snowy Ohio and may move to new England to be closer to some family we would make certain that it was put to good use and everyone would know the generosity of others. I can only hope as this as well as the other stories here on this site may touch you a small amount and you shall favor us with kindness. God Bless Everyone. Thank You All. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and supporters here. We appreciate everything people are doing and sending all the wonderful messages. God Bless You all.

New Family in Need of Assistance~~~

Posted by kanuk on 2011-10-28 16:58:48

To all that are interested, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am a college grad who has been working hard over the last few years in the struggling economy to get by and pay my student loans and other dues without having to rely on others.

Recently I became engaged to my fiance, who is Canadian. Just a month ago, we found out we would be having a baby and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Unfortunately, until my Canadian residency gets approved, I am unable to receive any health care in Canada, so we will be having to pay for the entire pregnancy out of pocket.

To make matters even more difficult, I cannot obtain a work permit in Canada because I cannot undergo a full medical check due to the pregnancy (you are not supposed to get xrays).

Any donation or offer you can give us would greatly help our family.

Bills

Posted by Xjanedoe on 2011-10-25 23:58:53

I'm in over my head. A recent college grad that isn't good enough for any one. My bills keep coming and my student loans start coming in november. Running out of options... I'm almost 24 years old (my birthday is october 28), female from kansas and in love with a military man. Planning on getting engaged soon. Another expense. Please help me... god bless you...
It all started 5 years ago on June 17, 2006. . .a day I will remember for the rest of my life. It was the day before Fathers Day and we were driving with our 14 month old son to his grandmothers house when and SUV ran a stop sign slamming into us causing our vehicle to roll landing upside down. They say my fiance (my sons father) was partially ejected and killed instantly.

He didn't have life insurance, and since we were only engaged, there were no survivors benefits and so it was just me, my 14 month old, two dogs, and an old house built in 1927 and a laundry list of repairs that needed to be done.

After my fiance died, I think a part of me just shut down. There was so much to deal with. . .working full time, being a single parent with no support. All my family lives 6 hours away, and my fiances family never wanted anything to do with us and after the accident all communication stopped and I was alone.

So, I shut the doors to the upstairs of our two bedroom Cape Cod, and made my bed on the Living Room couch so that I could rock my son in his bouncy chair everytime he woke at night. . .on average 4 times a night.

I did the best I could over the years. During all this my Dad was a huge emotional support for me. We talked every day, he encouraged me to stay strong and I did the same for him (he was diagnosed with milodisplastic syndrome in 2005)his blood transfusions really took a toll on him and his physical weakness really depressed him. I know he worried about me alot because I would always call him for advise on how to fix things or ask him questions about car stuff. He was my rock and he died October 4, 2008 from complications with pneumonia. He was buried on his birthday October 8 when he would have been 56.

His death is still hard to handle. My rock my best friend and advisor was gone and now I realized I was truly alone. Not only did I not have anyone to help me with my son, or with the house or the car, but now I didn't have anyone I could really talk to that could just listen and be my guide.

All this happened so suddenly. My now 3 year old son and I stayed up North for a week after my Fathers death. There was a lot of planning and funeral arrangements to be made that during the midst of all this, 6 hours away in my little Cape Cod were the two dogs. . .Joe, a shepard and chow mix, and Rex, a shepard and Rotti mix left to their own devices. All I could do was pray that the damage wouldn't be too terrible.

I tried calling a neighbor to check on the dogs, but in our unexplained absence the dogs became extremely protective of the house and wouldn't let anyone it.

When we finally came home, there was definately a mess. I had to rip up all the carpet by myself the stench was horrible and the dust and dirt under the padding from 10 year old carpet caused more than one sinus infection. After a month I had all the carpet ripped up and have not been able to replace it.

After working and saving and with help from my Mom, in 2009 I was able to hire a Contractor that had been highly recommended to me by a friend of mine. He raved about how great they were and what a good job they did for him. We had a contract for about $19,000. This was to replace all the windows, replace the kitchen cabinets, new countertop, appliances, paint, everything the house needed after being neglected for over 10 years. So they came and painted and left. Six months later they came back with 5 of the 13 windows, installed the windows, but left the casements on the inside open and torn leaving exposed the Lead Paint and the original wood framing. Then in August 2009, they had the kitchen cabinets delivered to my house and they were stored outside on the porch. I called and called to find out when they would be put in, and no response. They stayed outside through the Fall and through the winter when we got three feet of snow and I called and begged and sent text messages and one day their phone number was disconnected. Then in June 2010 they called me!! They would come install the cabinets. So they came and tore out the stove and the kitchen sink and installed the cabinets and put a slab on granite down so I could have a work area and said they would be back with the stove and dishwasher and sink. They never came back. So I had kitchen cabinets and no stove, no sink, no dishwasher. Then in July, Rex, the Rotti Shepard mix got really sick. The vet said he was starting kidney failure. They kept him and did IV treatment and got his kidneys functioning and they said he need a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. I had no stove. I tried calling the contractors I yelled, I begged, I sent text messages and finally out of desparation I went and bought the cheapest stove I could just to be able to boil water for my dog.

The dog survived, but his survival was short lived. In October 2010 on the anniversary of my Fathers death, I had to put the dog to sleep. He was suffering from the samething my father had. He couldn't produce red blood cells anymore and would have to live off of blood transfusions. One of the hardest choices I've ever made.

Now here we are in 2011. Memorial Day I almost lost my now 6 year old son in a near drowning incident at a friends pool. Thank God the husband knew CPR and was able to revive him. He stayed overnight in ICU for monitoring but he is now a happy healthy 1st grader.

Me. . .I'm barely keeping it together. I can't afford to take care of my home. The carpet was never replaced and there is a horrible draft in the Winter and the Lead Paint is still exposed. The upstairs windows are leaking and there are water spots on the ceiling. There is a 4" crack in the basement foundation wall that goes all the way down the wall and across the basement floor to the other side of the house. I was told that the footing is slipping and that it was only a matter of time before the house caved. The gutters are falling off the house from age and the deck rails are falling off. I fear for our safety, but mostly, I'm afraid for my son. I want to give him a safe and healthy environment, but I need help.

Please, if there is anyone out there that can help us, I would be eternally grateful. In the meantime, I will keep praying and belive that everything happens for a reason.
