As hard as it is, here I am. I'm currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have been able to support myself ever since graduating high school until now.

My family has never had much money, but I have never been the type to accept that as an excuse to not excel in the areas I could. I'm thankful for the perspective that it has given me while watching my peers live stress free without them realizing how lucky they are. They're all great people, but they just live their lives on financial peaks, whereas I've always lived mine in the valleys.

The costs and time commitments that are required or pursuing my dream are astronomical. I have borrowed what I can in student loans, but unfortunately they don't cover all of the necessary fees. For instance, we are required to buy car in order to be able to get to all of my clinical rotations, not to mention pay for board exam fees and prep courses.

I'm here looking for what little help might be available, and I desperately look forward to the time when I am able to come back here and help as many people in unfortunate circumstances as I can. Thanks for your time and consideration.

I am a Namibian student at the Polytechnic. Am registered for Bachelor of Transport Management. I cannot afford my tuition and thus will not be able to sit for exam if I dont pay. Please, if you want to help me, call me +264 812 899 606 and stop asking for my banking details as you wouldnt also give yours just like that to a stranger. What I need is tuition fees. I dont and wont have any benefit to you if you want to scam me. Honest people out there, Please Help!

I am a married 59 year old disabled man. My wife is also disabled. I paid into Social Security and Federal taxes for 34 years and served my country during the Iran Hostage crisis. While getting my 50 year physical exam my bloodwork and a biospy ended up putting me through 2 chemos for my liver. Even though I wasn't cured we seemed to have stopped the progression of the disease. While going through this living hell our government would not approve my Social Security disability until I was completely penniless. My claim was finally approved after 2 years with no income or money. The judge who approved my claim was appalled that the SS Administration waited so long to approve someone over 55 with a 34 year work history. I was found 100% disabled due to a condition that ends in death. It's pretty obvious they were waiting to see if I would die! Now I do have some income which I am thankful for but it doesn't cover all my expenses. If all I had was general bills like gas, water, electric, car ins. and food I could make ends meet. I am struggling to pay my property tax. I own my home which my father built after WWII. My property tax is billed every 6 months and is over $1000.00 semi-anually my monthly check is only $1300.00 which barely covers the regular bills. Right now I am barely staying ahead of the threats to sell my home for back taxes. I applied for the Homestead Act property tax exemption for seniors and the disabled where they can deduct up to $25000.00 from the value of your home and tax that amount. The average person in my state saves $400.00 a year on this program according to their website. When my tax bill came this exemption only reduced my taxes by $164.00 a year. That's only $82.00 from each semi-annual government extortion. First I was forced to exhaust my life savings before they would approve my disability now this. I must figure a way to supplement my income. I have paid my dues and shouldn't have to struggle and deal with such heavy stress at this stage of my life. These are supposed to be pleasant years when you've lived right. Please, HELP!

Hi all,
Like most twenty-something's in this day and age, I have credit card debt. Oh yes. You wouldn't have guessed it. And like most twenty-something year olds, I'm working full-time slogging my guts out for the little pay that makes being a bin man look worth it. They get paid more. Trust me, I've tried. They have an entrance exam for the local council. As daft as that sounds, I'm not joking.
I got done over by my ex who decided a "system" for roulette was a sure-fire way to make money had more alcohol in his veins than blood. Ditching the sucker was the best half hour conversation I've ever had with anyone in my life.
I moved back in with the parents, wished I'd never left, seriously regretted the tattoos and trying to get on with life but with this debt hanging around my neck like a noose, its exceedingly difficult to do anything else other than worry about the swinging axe over my head.
In the long run, I want to finish my part-time university course and move out of the house - hopefully near a white chocolate ski-slope but I'm not hopeful.
If any of you kind souls wish to help, I'm looking to pay off a chunk of the debt of £10,000. I'm trying every which was possible to save money and at the moment, 80% of my wage each month goes toward getting rid of this weight on my shoulders. 20% goes on Asda Price food stuffs like baked beans, cheap bread made of brick dust and cheese (or at least it resembles cheese).

Please help, it would seriously mean the world to me.

Pls,my parents can't afford to buy me textbooks and my exam starts next month...i'll appreciate any amount pls

Ava is our adorable pup that we adopted through the
Penny Foundation. Ava is a rescue dog from Mexico. She has filled our
lives with joy and happiness. Ava turned one year old in February. She
is a very active, playful pup who is full of life. A month ago, the exuberant Ava was playing in our backyard. She slipped, and ripped a
tendon in her right hind leg. Upon initial vet exam, she was deemed
fine. However, the condition persisted and she refused to play or go
for walks (VERY unusual for Ava). We took her to a different vet a week
later, and the diagnosis came in – Ava would require surgery. There was
no other option. The injury would not heal on its own. The vet told us
that Ava’s breed is prone to this type of injury. We were very sad to
hear this, as Ava is so young and the surgery would require two months
of recovery time. The surgery is also expensive – $3000 minimum. My
husband and I are not rich people, and are therefore trying to raise
some money to go towards Ava’s surgery. Any amount will help. We want
Ava to make a full recovery, and get back to her normal, fun, playful
puppy lifestyle. The vet told us the prognosis after surgery is very
good, and that Ava should return to full function. Please help Ava.
Thank you!

Hello,
I am a single mom, with a disabled child. I was hit with a double surprise last month in the loss of 2 of our social security checks. I had intended to pay the past due water bill last month, but this situation threw a monkey wrench into an already precarious situation. According to social security, we lost the checks because my son turned 16. These agencies never pre-warn you, and if they even attempt to notify you, they send multiple conflicting information, which is not clear on what they are doing.
Because the water has been turned off, and the bill finalized, I now have to pay a total of 343 in order to have the service restored. The utilities company contacted my landlord, who has issued a 7 day notice to me because the lease says that I cannot have the utilities turned off for any reason.
I trust God, and I know He will come through for me somehow, because He's never failed me, but I am getting a bit concerned, as I have exhausted all options. God usually moves very strongly when that happens, so when I saw this site, I figured I'd try it, because you never know what direction He will move from.
The local assistance agency says they can see the loss of income that created this emergency, but want me to provide proof of income replacement in order to get the assistance; which I cannot yet do as I am still unemployed and seeking work.
It's amazing to me; the timing of this. After being forced to wait almost an entire year, due to lack of finances; to take my licensing exam and pay for my license to work, I chose to sacrifice a bit on the bill in order to do this, because I cannot work without the license. I did the right thing, and did not break the law in violating that rule, but waited until I could get my license to practice massage therapy. Now, I am facing the loss of our home. Even if I attempt to set up advertising, the arrangement will take more than 7 days to set up the deals and get the clientele in, and I won't get paid until the clientele have redeemed their deals. My license just arrived, and the doctor that was going to hire me, has "changed the direction of his business." So needless to say, my time is limited and I need some immediate help to remedy this situation. I appreciate your time and interest in reading this, and any assistance you can offer. God bless.

I need $20,000 to become a BPI Certified Contractor. The money will purchase all the necessary tools, and it will pay for the classes and exam fees.

I am a small time contractor looking to broaden my range of skills and get the certifications needed to offer my customers Free Home Energy Audits.

I recently had my home audited, they found 3 gas leaks, vermiculite insulation containing asbestos, and lead based paint...

Now you understand why I want to offer this to my customers.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to progress.

Sincerely,
Dave

In July 2007 my husband was a passenger in a co-workers car; the co-worker turned left in front of a pickup and the car was T-boned directly on his side. The co-workers car was an older model with no airbags; the doctor said that if he hadn’t put his arm & hand up to shield his face than it would have been fatal. The subsequent and enduring “care” he has received via workers compensation (WC), for the grave injuries he sustained, has been appalling at best. This is just my personal opinion, based solely on our experiences since the accident, but I have concluded that workers compensation (that was put in place to protect the workers), is nothing less than an unethical, disingenuous corrupt system. They end up sending you to a doctor of there choosing and these doctors (who have "gone over to the dark side")cater to the insurance companies by writing lengthy reports downplaying any injuries (goal of saving insurance company money with zero regard for the patients well being) in exchange for more patients sent to them and guaranteed, probably higher than usual, reimbursements. All too often it seems like WC caters to those who abuse the system and discriminate against those who really are in need. The “timely” medical care my husband has actually been able to procure through this government supported system is a travesty leaving him with irreparable spinal damage and a life of pain to look forward to. The malevolent truth is, had this system acted in a timely fashion, equivalent to the expedient care that ANYONE else not on WC would receive, then something could have been done to improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, as it stands, due to the guileful delay tactics used by WC, it is too late to do much of anything to repair the injuries causing him pain. Clearly supported medically necessary needs have either gone unapproved or purposely neglected for months all the while he continues to suffer with intractable pain. It is just beyond my comprehension as to how these people can feel no remorse for leaving another human being in such agony. Due to WC neglecting to approve certain items we have had to outlay a significant amount of our funds for medically necessary items\services to help him do tasks that he could previously do unassisted.
Today he suffers unrelenting pain as a result of permanent whiplash, 8 herniated discs, and unacknowledged(despite films clearly showing injuries) unaddressed broken tailbone, ribs and pelvis. Nerve damage from the spinal injury has resulted in numbness in his extremities, frequent weakening of his legs and embarrassing incontinence among numerous other concerns - had these been addressed in a timely manner (much like they would have been if not WC injury) his suffering could have been decreased significantly thereby improving his quality of life. The most serious injury he suffered was the hip break (acetabuler break) the worse break possible - it was broken in four places. As alluded to previously, an injury this severe should have been stabilized by surgery - allowing it to heal properly and not leave him suffering in chronic pain. WC puts such demands on providers to cut corners in order to save money that, in my husbands case, his doctor decided to do absolutely nothing but send him home instructing him to stay in a wheelchair 100 % of the time for several months. This doctor did not follow up with an exam or x-rays to make sure everything had healed properly. When my husband tried to explain to him the degree of pain he was still in the Dr said hmmm that shouldn’t be and then said “I can’t do anything else for you…”. This Dr. was so engrossed with saving WC some money that he disregarded his patients plea for help- how dispassionate and cold. The way this physician treated my husband goes against almost every part of the hippocratic oath which he swore to uphold upon graduation.
After being in pain for years, with no help from WC when it came to pinpointing its primary source, we paid out of pocket for a film that revealed his pelvis had been broken in the accident. This was never discovered previously by the orthopedist, again, due to cutting corners to save WC money they didn't take the necessary films to do a thorough job. We have a hearing with WC before a judge in March to request approval of a doctor who can address his broken tailbone - regardless of the fact that he can hardly sit without being in excruciating pain WC has denied him access to a doctor to treat it.
Immediately after the accident WC paid for home care for my husband and I was his caretaker when they were not here. Once they stopped providing this in home care I had to take over caring for him in addition to taking care of our then one year old daughter. I soon realized that I could not work and take care of both of them so I had to leave my job to stay home. As a result of my loss of income we have used up every penny of savings and 401 K, that we worked so hard to earn. We had to purchase anything medically necessary for Randall that WC was denying or losing track of. In addition to all this bad news, he has had to go out on disability (10/10) due to the deterioration of his condition and as a result our income has been cut substantially. This leaves us struggling to survive with no savings and significant decrease in income. I am the primary caregiver of both my husband and 5 year old daughter and all I able to contribute financially is what I can find the time to sell on eBay and needless to say we are coming up short.
All of our credit cards have been turned over to collections and our house note is in default and I am terrified. My heart breaks for my only child my daughter who is just 5 years old - I want her to remember more than this devastating situation about her dad and what undeserved hard times we are facing. You can ask anyone who knows my husband and they will all say the same that he is one of the kindest, caring, and conscientious people they know. I know that he doesn’t deserve the heartache he is having to endure. He has worked hard his entire life, since the age of 15, up until he could no longer because of his injuries; and I know that prior to this accident he had saved and saved and was looking so forward to retiring and having fun times as a family. He hasn’t lost sight of those dreams but the money he had saved to fund them is all gone. Despite everything somehow he still maintains a positive outlook on life which makes him a much stronger person than I.
We all have faith that God will see us through this one way or the other but some days it is just so hard to maintain a positive outlook. We would be truly grateful for any help - do only as your heart leads you to do!
God Bless

I am the 5th daughter of my mother and my little sister and 1 brother is still in elementary school. I am already 18 years old but still wanting to finish high school. My mother owes our school lots of money amount of $525.00 ... I converted it to dollars. I am studying in a semi private school where we pay 5,000 pesos every year. What I earn in my work, is what I used for my allowance in school and for any books needed, notebooks and school supplies and food at school I eat. Every exam I always do a promissory note to pay all of my debts before graduation, if not, I won't be able to graduate. Our principal understands me and always signed the promissory note for me to get or allowed to take the 1st to the 4th grading test. Now, my graduation is near, it's in april 28. I was hoping that if any of family didn't help me, some people here online will touched and will send help. I found this cyberbeg online as I was in desperate looking for help anywhere.

I didn't have the 15$ to sign up here, but I really made a way to have a 15$ opened at Paypal to pay here. My classmate Amor Helped me how to open paypal and she sent the $15 to my paypal.

Please Help me to pay my school Tuitions fees for the last 4 years I owe them. I want to graduate and go to college, that way I can help my mom to buy medicines. I know somebody is going the same thing as I am going right now. I believe that when you help others, someday when you need help too, you will be helped. I cannot repay back if you will help me, But I know God will pay you back.

Thank you.

Please consider helping a writer with a vision exam and glasses. It will cost about $400 for both. It is getting hard to focus on the computer screen and even to read street signs when driving,which is just dangerous. Also am undergoing a job search at this time and have a financial catastrophe happening due to lack of work. Please help if you can. If you give $50, only seven other people would need to respond to help me have safe and clear vision. Any amount will be appreciated. If over $400 is received, it will go to handle other medical needs. Thank you.

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.

Skilled, long-term unemployed person is alone with no benefits of any kind and no one to rely on for help. Just this far from being on the street. An exam from my dentist costs $250. Any portion of this or the whole amount would be helpful. I have several issues, including a possible osteoma, that need to be checked.

Thank you.

I moved here 2 years ago from a small town to start over after a failed marriage. Tried initially to keep the kids with me but couldn't pay daycare and refused to leave them alone. They went back with their dad, who is a good dad even if he wasn't a very good husband. Found a mediocre nursing school whose only appeal was the lack of a 2-year waiting list, and set out to achieve the dream I'd been trying to since 20 years ago, when my son was abducted and I dropped out of RN school in the emotional firestorm that ensued for my remaining son and I. I found him alive 2 weeks after graduating, living with his father up north. Now I graduated, working as a CNA, driving 40 miles each way for work, and barely surviving. My situation is this. I want to be reunited with my children, including my oldest who lives up in Colorado with my first grandchild, who I have never met. And I haven't seen him since 2009. I've got school bills, student loan bills, my phone (lifeline to find another job, which I'm trying so hard to do), and car insurance. That's serious business in Texas, folks-car insurance. Anyway it's only 47 a month but I still can't afford it this month. Phone, likewise. During the two weeks between my CNA pay (probably 5-600) and the next two weeks when I'm praying to god I'll pick up some overtime and maybe even get my graduate license going online, I've got not enough for gas and food after paying for the studio I'm in. Didn't want a year lease because my dream is to live near the people I love most in the world, and to finally see the sweet face of my son, who has been missing since he was 2 and a half years old. I'm strapped, sad, feel desperate and feel like crying all the time. Can't get public assistance because I've got a job and the kids don't live with me, even though I'm sending what I can, as I can, to their dad. Part of my survival issues-catch 22 that if you send money, you don't have it to pay to visit or have them visit. My heart feels like it's breaking all the time and I try to keep a smile for these sweet little old people I take care of at work..not easy. 4 or 500 would wrap it up, and you give me your email, I'll either give it back to you or to another person who needs it, and prove it with documentation. I think in 3 or 4 weeks things may be different, after the graduate license becomes active and I can schedule my exam and work as a graduate. Until then, God bless us all and I remain faithful and steadfast, if shaken..
Thanks for listening

I am a 32 year old working mom of three beautiful children and I have the most wonderful husband anyone could ask for. We have the perfect mid-west life. We both work full time (and enjoy what we do), have a nice home, we're able to afford some luxuries in life although in moderation, that is enough for me. I enjoy cooking, and entertaining in my time off from work, and spending family time with my kids, parents, and neighbors. My children are Jordon (age 13), Logan (age 10), and Brianna (age 9). The kids are active in sports, and in our small community we are well known, and frequently can be seen volunteering at community events, church, and our local high school, of which we are both alumni. I live less than two miles from the home I grew up in. Sounds perfect if you ask me.

On February 18th, 2011 our son Logan (age 10) was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. He was not having many symptoms only occasional headaches. I was concerned that he may have been developing migraines and so I took him to see our family physician. His physical exam was normal including a rather thorough neurological exam. Dr. Arntz agreed with my initial thought and prescribed him some migraine medication. What a relief! He asked us to get a CT scan of Logan's head only as a precaution and he even stated that he didn't think there was any real concern, just a precaution. 5 days later, we were heading to the University of Michigan; Mott's childrens hospital because his precautionary CT scan had confirmed the worst for us. A 6 cm brain tumor in the posterior fossa of Logan's brain. Causing the cerebral spinal fluid to back up and create pressure in his head (hence the headaches).

Before leaving the house for the hospital we gave Logan a brief description of the problem, and explained to him that we didn't know what was going to happen next but we were going to the hospital to find out. You could see the worry on him but he was tough, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I guess I better call it something, I think I'll name it Steve." So off we went, notifying family on the way to the hospital, and completely sick to my stomach.

Three days later we would embark on the scariest days of my life. Logan was promptly scheduled for surgery the following Monday and we were told there was a high probability that the tumor was cancerous. Dr. Cormac Maher performed 14 hours of brain surgery on Logan on Monday February 21st, and confirmed our fears that Logan indeed had a cancerous brain tumor called medulloblastoma. Then more bad news the post operative MRI showed that they had been able to remove all of the tumor and Logan would need more surgery. The next day he underwent another 6 hours of brain surgery. We caught it early but based on where the tumor sat he may not be able to talk or walk normally for 3-6 months. Lucky for us he talks and walks very well all things considered. But there has been radiation therapy and chemo therapy will continue until February or March of next year. There is a 75-80% chance of survivability, I feel blessed with those odds.

Logan is doing very well but this situation has put an incredible financial burden on us. I am falling behind on bills and need help. Andy is working constantly and I even started a second job on the weekends to try to help supplement the lost income from prescriptions, gas to and from the hospital, and just having to take time off work for appointments and Logan's sick days... I don't know what else to do. The banks have tried thankfully to work with us but our circumstance is not going to change for quite awhile longer. Our family's do not have a lot of money, and have already tried to help so much that I think it may be putting a strain on them as well. The church sends gas cards occasionally but there is just not enough to keep us going for the next year.

Here' s the kicker, Logan started his own Relay for Life team. I had taken him to a local expo about 3 weeks after he had been discharged from the hospital because I thought it would be good exercise for him to walk around and there would be lot's to look at, and there was a booth for the American Cancer Society. He walked up to the lady at the booth and he said " How old do you have to be to have a team?" She signed him up on the spot. Logan Bailey's Super Survivors have raised $8300.00 for the American Cancer Society! He's only a little more than $1600.00 away from his goal of raising $10000.00 for the Relay for Life. We've held auctions, bake sales, and concerts. It's been a wonderful distraction for him and he is super excited about reaching that fund-raising goal. We have asked our friends to contribute to his goals in lieu of giving us personal financial assistance. It's more important to me that his endeavors to do more for others, are successful.

We cannot change Logan's circumstance. He will always be a brain cancer survivor, and I will forever be a medullo-mom. But, if we can make this even minutely easier for others having to face it after us then we will do it. Logan donated "Steve the brain tumor" to medical research and he volunteered to participate in a medical research trial for his treatments. We hope that the money raised for the American Cancer Society will make a difference in research and support for anyone suffering with a cancer diagnosis. We hope that the research will make the work of wonderful, selfless, people like Dr. Maher and his team easier and more successful. If I had been diagnosed with this same type of cancer at the age of ten it would have been a terminal diagnosis... the research is working!!

I need help, I need financial help for my family so that we can stop the worrying over finances and concentrate on bringing our entire family through this successfully looking at it in a positive light and remembering that we did it with hearts full of love and with others in mind. Logan is a truly remarkable child and I am so proud of him. I anxiously await your response Thank you for your consideration.

I FOUND THIS WEBSITE TODAY OUT OF DESPERATION. IT'S VERY, VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO ASK FOR HELP; TO ADMIT I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN ON MY OWN ANYMORE. BUT I TRULY NEED HELP NOW. I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH A BAD DIVORCE FOR 5 YEARS NOW. IT'S BEEN SO DIFFICULT ON MY CHILDREN. THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS AND THEY CERTAINLY DON'T DESERVE IT. WE HAD A NICE HOME AND GOOD JOBS, BUT MY KIDS BARELY REMEMBER THOSE DAYS. ALL THEY KNOW IS THE CONSTANT STRUGGLE TO COME UP WITH ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, FOOD...THINGS OTHER PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A JOB, BUT UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $200.00 FOR ANY EYE EXAM AND A SUITABLE PAIR OF GLASSES OR CONTACTS. I'M NEARSIGHTED AND MY VISION IS VERY POOR. IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE, BUT I DO IT DURING THE DAY WHEN IT'S NECESSARY. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. MY TWO SONS ALSO NEED DESPERATELY TO GO TO THE DENTIST. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN 6 YEARS. MY OLDEST SON (HE'S 13) TOLD ME YESTERDAY HE IS HAVING PAIN AND LOSING A PART OF HIS GUM WHERE HIS WISDOM TEETH ARE COMING IN. IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST $200.000 EACH TO HAVE THEIR TEETH CLEANED AND X-RAYS. I KNOW THEY WILL ALSO NEED THEIR WISDOM TEETH REMOVED SOON. I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE IN THE SAME SITUATION THAT I'M IN...I'M 42 AND I STILL HAVE MY WISDOM TEETH. I HAVE A LOT OF PAIN SOMETIMES, BUT THE RISKS INVOLVED IN HAVING REMOVED ARE TOO GREAT.

Please help me to help my son who is out of a job. He has been doing interviews, but needs 3000 to keep his head above water- he has not paid rent for several months and has to be borrowing from friends. He also has to be paying for expensive exam fees and application process for an exam in July. I can't help him now, my funds are very low...I just need some help from a few people- some one kind enough to send a few dollars to my PayPal account even just a few dollars.

This letter does not seem very emotional, but believe me, I am almost at the end of my rope and I need help as soon as possible. Thanks for your assistance. God Bless you all.

The laundry list is long of all the things gone wrong...
Hell my life IS a song--one of those bad backroad country tunes people listen to. Anywho. My grandma didnt get run over by a reindeer, but I've got two big problems that need immediate attention.

1. IRS is after me for some old tax debt from an innocent mistake on a tax return I didn't even know about years ago. They don't care about anything but their money and in this economy I read they're putting the screws tighter to people than ever before.

2. Can you help me get a new pair of glasses? Can't see without em. Law requires current eye exam so got to pay for that too. High prescription.

I recently lost the only job I could find after a long search (and it was lousy). Surviving by charity of friends and family. Maxed out the credit cards with gas, food and necessities. Don't have enough left to buy a pair of glasses (old pair just broke and not repairable).

I believe in the kindness of others as I have given when others have needed me. It is unusual that I find myself in these circumstances. SERIOUSLY. My heart aches, I don't sleep at night, I don't eat right. Poverty makes you old before you're time. My good looks are starting to fade (ok I'm only slightly better than average looking but still)...

I NEED ABOUT $3,000 JUST TO GET SOME BREATHING ROOM

Trying to keep my spirits up. Your donation will mean the world to me. $1. A quarter, a penny--anything to start closing the gap. THANK YOU!!!!
