Hi, I’m Kenny a Filipino-American urgently in need of $340 to pay an attorney to finish my legal Complaint. I originally paid the attorney $300 to begin the Civil Complaint and was under the impression that would be sufficient for him to complete it. But two days ago he told me that the principle cause of action has taken considerably more time (3hours – he only charges $100/hour as he has a full time law job in Oakland) to compose in a strong fashion. I desparately need help, the merits of the case are 95% in my favor. I have an aging grandfather (79 years old) who I need to pay back with the proceeds from this lawsuit.

I would be help to verify everything I’m saying to that person who is willing and able to help me overcome my impasse. I would be willing to pay back this gift once the suit is settled.

Please, please help me.

Thank you so much.

In November my wonderful, pregnant fiancé was suspended from her job as a lecturer and escorted from the building in humiliating fashion. She hadn't done anything to deserve this and after all this time and many, many letters later the college has provided no explanations, allegations, or testimonies to support their accusations.

The college has, however, made numerous unlawful actions since then regarding her status - for example, they have provided a risk assessment to prove they have accommodated her needs whilst pregnant except it's signed by everyone apart from my fiancé who has never seen it before in her life.

The final straw was this morning when her employers paid everyone except my fiancé and now we are left to pay all the bills and the mortgage with my low salary; I simply don't earn enough. Not to mention we are expecting our first child in March and whilst this is supposed to be such a happy time for us, it has been the most stressful. Neither of us can sleep properly and it's affecting my performance at work.

We fully intend to take the college to tribunal but that won't happen until the Summer and that's assuming we can afford to pay for a solicitor to take our case on.
We desperately need money to stay afloat or we will lose everything. Anything you can give, even if it's only one pound, will help. Please let me say a heartfelt thank you if you choose to donate.

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

Im in need of Costume/wardrobe cosmetic, materials for a Photo Shoot. I really wish you can help me, if it was easy for me to wake up naturally beautiful I would not have this need, or if I had the money I would not ask for your kindness....

I am a solo mum with my invalid 81 year old father and 2 teenage boys at home. I work 2 jobs to keep us. My son will be 17years old in 3 weeks and he wants to work. He is in his final year at school, year 12. When finished year 12 in 2012 he wants to be our family's third generation farmer.Our family for 2 generations have worked and lived on the land for farm owners. Helping out on other peoples farms for all of his 17 years he has a wealth of knowledge and experience far beyond his years. I am not financial enough to feed us every night let alone give him any assistance for a bright albeit a hard working future. We live in Queensland in an area where most of the casual farm work is already taken.Please, we do not have any family who can help us out with a job let alone a dream. A little help from a lot of people can help get my sons future off the ground to run and own his own farm.Having his own farm has been the only job he has ever wanted.He has 2 willing workers in myself and his brother to get things started. There is also a lot of his peers who also have grown up in this farming district, youth who are willing and able to work along side of him. The alternative is they too will be out of work by the end of this year. We need what to us is an enormous amount of money,around $750,000.00 to purchase an existing Lucerne farm.He wants to be innovative and extend the Lucerne producing farm into a mixed business, Lucerne and old fashion calf rearing.There are no existing farms of this type in the area.There are many Lucerne farms locally but no calf rearing farms. We have done our homework, calf rearing is very viable. The Northern Territory runs successful calf rearing farms.This is also an area we are comfortable in. For extra pocket money it is what we have done in the past when we have been allowed to use the owners property.Please help me buy my boys a job and more importantly a very Australian future on the land.

Two years ago I graduated from San Joaquin Delta College with my Graphic Design certificate & my AA. I was excited for a while & then found my true passion to design clothes & that is where I am headed. Today I am educating myself with resources online & in books and hopefully through school. I am asking for the biggest & smallestr donations you are able to make, whether it be cash, a sewing machine, books about fashion design or a simple piece of fabric. All will be appreciated. I thank you so much for even reading thus far.

I'm a Canadian Designer and need funds for my business. I need investors to help me purchase the fabric and other supplies to create the next hottest fashion trend. Please help me out.

I have been wanted to be a fashion designer all my life. I needed at least $600 to buy the supplies. I had almost $300...but my mom needed help with the rent (i'm only 15) so i gave it to her. She told me she would pay me back but now she is saying that the things I need are not the important!?! A good sewing machine is at least $100. Plus fabric and a mannequin to work on (I don't know how much it cost) I just need the money to start me off making cloths and then i can sell the cloths and keep making money. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY DREAM!! I've asked everyone. And my babysitting job is not cutting it. Plus i have to pay for my own school things!! HELP MY DREAM!!

Hello,
Thank you for taking some time out of your life to read this. I am currently a High School Senior in the US, and will be graduating around June. I am pursuing a career in fashion design, and will love* to achieve that in London. With constant mocks and jeers from family/friends about becoming a fashion designer, it is hard to get any support from them. I am currently working a part-time job, and is constantly helping out family issues at home. Since my mother sacrificed to focus on her children instead of going to college, I feel that I need to make something of myself. Yes, making it in the fashion industry is difficult, but with the motivation and devotion to make it big, I believe I will be successful. People always look at me and laugh, because they think that I won't be the next big iconic fashion designer. But take a moment to think about it though, did people know from the beginning that Coco Chanel, Gianna Versace, Chistian Dior, or other fashion icons would become so successful? With that said, being able to study abroad in London will definitely give me a fresh new start of a whole different world and lifestyle. And with all the negativity I've been living in throughout my life, I feel it's time for a change of environment and to further my knowledge in fashion. I am currently working on my application for London College of Fashion. I really feel that I can make it in the industry and will love to show others who doubted me that you can make dreams come true. So please, any amount of donation will gladly be appreciated and used for the real intention for furthering my education in London. Again, thank you for your time.
If you are willing to donate, please contact me at
cruz.alex2617@yahoo.com. Thank You.

Its simple really, I just need 20.000 dollars! Yeah, not so simple really, but its what I, more like we need. When I say we I mean my Investor and I.

I'm not asking for a gift. I'm really just looking for an investor, and no, he does not have to pass the money to me, so there is no way of me scamming him with the 20k.

Ok, so how does this work? This is actually, believe it or not, simple.

My yield is over 12% in my last 6 months of betting on football (soccer). I think I have done very well though, almost too well to keep it up for years and years, and in the long hall a Yield of between 6% and 9% would be what we should be expecting per month.

What is yield? Its what you can expect to get back from the amount of money you bet.

Let me explain this in a simpler fashion. Our bank is 20000 dollars, I only bet 5% or less of our bank, depending on the strength of the bet, on each match, but lets say I bet 5% of our bank on each match; that means I'm betting 1000 dollars per game. 100 games a month is what we could expect me to come up with for bets, so lets suppose I'm hitting 100 games a month, that's 100,000 dollars were betting a month. If our yield is 6%, this means we would be making 6000 dollars a month. Basically we can expect to make between 6/10 grand a month.

The risk is very low, because were only risking 5% of our bank per bet. Meaning I would have to lose a lot of games and be on a really bad strike to lose our money.

6/10 grand may not seem like a lot, but it is, because the risk level is very low, and the potential is very high.

I have a lot of experience in football (soccer), I've played it professionally, I've coached it and I've been betting on it for years now. Unfortunately I cannot come up with the 20.000 dollars so I need a partner.

There is a lot more to this, so if your interested write me.

Hey everyone! My name is Ben, and I will change this world, with or without you. Any person with a rational thinking mind can look around at the world and see that it's not exactly how it was explained to us. We, the working class, are supposed to be the ever-moving feet of our world; making it work like a well-oiled machine. Well I'm sick of it, and i know that you are too. Why do we have to work so hard every day for ends meat, for minimum wage. Just so that the rich investors, CEO's, and corrupt bosses can have the pleasure of choosing what car to drive around on any particular day. This is why I don't work, if we give in to the system, it will never get better. I walk dogs, cut grass, throw rock shows, make art, and play music for money. In my spare time, I volunteer at many local non-profits and when I no longer need something I've aquired, i donate it. I know that the dollar is a funny tool that gives support to whatever company you give it to. Hence, I choose wisely where these tools are spent. I shop only at locally owned and operated small businesses, I grow my own food and when i can't, I buy organic, healty, non GMO foods, and foods without hormones. I don't support corporate conglomerates. The more we support the things we want in this world, the more the world will change. I ask you to join me in helping the world. I promise any money donated will be spent in the fashion explained here, and together we can make this world a good one for future generations. Though I don't have enough money to pay all of my bills EVERY month, I do my best, and my consciense is clean. I'm in about $10,000 worth of debt, mainly for school and medical, but slowly it's getting taken care of. Any donations are greatly appreciated.
Even if you don't donate, please keep in mind, with ever dollar you spend, you cast a vote to the future of the world. Please spend wisely.
Thanks!

I'm a college student supporting myself and I am in desperate need of a new laptop. I would be using it for course work and a business I run from my home. I am stduying advertising and public relations so I do some publicity things on the side but I started a "fashion line" of sorts that I run out of my room at school. I need about $2500 for a Mac. My professors use this in class. Most of the coursework and prjects are easily done on a Mac and some programs do not work at all on my PC. It is difficult to use the computers at school because the labs are usually closed after classes and work. Thank you taking your time to read this. Anything would help.

Hey My name is Chris I am 19 going on 20 in April, I am an orphan/ward of the court and Im stranded in New York reduced to sleeping in the Staten Island Ferry because I was scammed on Craigslist, I am a college student majoring in Fashion Merchandising, I honestly just need some help

I'm 33, hard working and I pay my bills. I've been a productive member of society and care about my community. Thanks to other people who didn't pay their bills, lived beyond their means and allowed themselves to be foreclosed on...I can't get a home loan.

It's not because my credit score is bad or because I don't have a down payment, it's because I'm self employed. It appears I am a "high risk" in the eyes of the bank. It doesn't matter that I can show that I made a profit every year in a lousy economy.

So I've had to change my method of obtaining a home. I'm going to try and do in the old fashion way...pay cash. I just need to accumulate about $6,000. and I'm set. I'm not looking to buy a mansion. Just a simple starter home/fixer upper. My lease is up in July and I don't want to be stuck here another year (no, I won't break a lease).

Please help this hard working guy in Columbus, OH. I'll be sure to pay in forward in the future...I just need a little help getting the American dream.

Hello there. My name is Grace, and I am a 28 year old female living in a pool of debt. I've always been so passionate about fashion and beauty ever since I was a little girl. That curiosity eventually left me with a $10,000 debt. I started applying for loans, opening credit cards (when my credit was still an innocent virgin) and started borrowing money from friends and family, while lying about what the money was being used for... I bought everything new that came out every season; bags, clothes, shoes, new skincare products, perfumes, everything they claimed would make you beautiful, I mean EVERYTHING! While I am still trying to pay it off, it just doesn't seem to shrink down!? I would've tried selling all those items that I'd bought for so many years, but I ended up donating them to friends, family, and charity. I can't get anymore loans or open any more credit cards because my credit is so messed up. I can't borrow from friends or family because I lost all the credit from them too. I have nowhere else to turn. I'm having a hard time paying my other bills now that I've moved out of my parents and trying to live it on my own. Everyday, I imagine magically bumping into my Prince Charming so he can save me, but... reality sets in... What man would want to marry me and my $10,000 debt?! Sometimes, I feel kind of innocent because all I was trying to do was to look beautiful... Well, I guess it's what I have to pay for and live with. I dream everyday that if I ever win the lottery, the first thing I would do is pay off my debt and then use the rest of the money for charity, because eventually one day, I want to start an Animal Rescue Group. It's funny how my passion for beauty has turned to animals over the past few years. I really want to help myself and then start helping others. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Any help is forever appreciated! Live long and be healthy!

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.
