Im 35 have two kids. I, like many other single moms, worked and lived a normal quiet life with my kids. My exhusband threw us out the house almost six years ago with nothing. I worked hard to get an apartment and pay bills and care for my kids including putting them sports to keep them active. Everything worked out ok for all these years until my ex got married. He married into riches and now he wants the kids. Looking at his finances, he took me to court and sued me for full custody, without money for a lawyer I asked for court orderd attorney. That didnt work out for me and now Im having to pay 400.00 mthly for child support and get them every other weekends. I cant even get them to go to church with me cause my ex threw in that he didnt want religion in my kids. How a judge can do this, I dont understand. All this came down in Feb,2012. I cant pay for an apartment so I moved in with my mom in march, 2012. she as of May 2, 2012 had a massive heartattache. now Im out without anything. Because I moved out the way to live with my mom, I lost my job, cause it was too far and my mom was paying car notes on her car and it has to be returned to dealership. and no money for rent on her home and everything has hit me and Its more than I can bear. Please help me so I can get on my feet to atleast so I can get an apartment for me and my kids and and help get my job so I can pay my child support, most important. I pray everyday/nite for God to help me and I was praying tonight 5/15/2012, and I felt he led me here to this site for help. Thank you for help.

Hello. Im writing this with my pride put aside because i've let the love of my life down as far as im concerned and need help in order to pay the remaining past due rent for this month. This is not easy for me to do because of the overwhelming feeling of failure that just eats me up inside. We have been together for more than 12 yrs now and we have always managed somehow to make it through some extremely difficult times. This women is an Angel of Mercy for those who know her and to her family she is simply the rock. She is 1 of 5 sisters, all having 2 children a piece, and to which all 10 children she has taken in under our roof for extended periods through all the years i've known her. She is the most positive and giving person I have ever met! I LIVE FOR THIS WOMEN and have always reassured her that I could never at any cost, no matter how tough things got, give her reason for serious concern or not be able to get us past any finacial issues no matter how bad it looks. Yes im feeling very sorry for myself because I was a truck driver and lost my job because of an accident that was my fault and where knowone was injured, resulted in a dollar amount that was too high for my company to retain insurance in order for me to continue in thier employment. Week to week we got by and then back in December the freight slowed and my checks that the bulk of our bills and all the rent came out of, was now barely making the household bills. We fell behind Dec and Jan rent and was given such a break from an understanding landlord and we caught up in Feb with every dime of our tax refund given to a thankful landlord but one that stated, from that point on, we must be on time. After all the struggle we went through and the extreme patients and understanding of our landlord....now i've lost my job! We have spent the first half of this month calling and talking to and submitting applications to so many programs for assistance but getting turned away with no solutions. We have no more time and if forced to moved i will have let down the last person on earth that deserves it. Our rent is $675 a month and sent $300 yesterday and it was everything we had. we need $375 and nothing more. if anyone can help, you will find knowone more greatful beyond words can trully express and any additional info needed for your consideration can be provided if requested. Thanks to all that take the time to consider any possibility for help.

My name is Donna and my husband,Tom,is a disabled diabetic. He has been diabetic for 20 years and for the past 7 years, he has been totally unable to walk. He gets SSI but it is not much. I ork but only for minimum wage. Our car stopped running on Feb. 14 and we do not have the extra finances or credit to be able to buy another one. As a result, he has not been to a doctor since to get refills on his medicines or insulin needles. He is getting sicker every day. I would like to get out and look for a better job but can't do that either. I have to push him in the road if he wants to go anywhere otherwise, I walk to the grocery store to buy food. We are behind in all of our bills but only a little bit. We just need someone would could help us with a car and a little to pay up our bills. This has been really hard on my husband. He feels depressed and useless because there is nothing he can do to help and is basically stuck in the apartment. Without his medicine, it gets worse every day. His blood sugar has been staying over 600 and I have no way to get it back down to an acceptable level. It is causing havoc with the rest of his body also. We desperately need a car to get him help. We have 3 grown sons but two are barely making it themselves and the third is in the National Guard and going through a divorce so he is unable to help also. If you can help or have any questions,feel free to email me at ddmedley@yahoo.com. Thank you and God Bless.

Hello I am a student at ISU and in need of help with one months rent of $600.00. My fiance and I are in the process of moving to spokane so I can further my education up there and also because my current school doesn't offer my full program. but my true beg on this website is because my fiance's mother was staying with us and paying half of the bills each month and in Feb she got a DUI and is now in jail and we have had to cover the extra bills the last two months and it has killed us. I have a job making 32 a hour where we are going we just need our deposit to help get there. Please help pay my rent this month and we would both be very grateful and return the favor. god bless thank you for any help received...

Hello there, my name is Lorraine. I am here as I need help. I am 43 with a child aged 13. New Years Eve 2010 I got married to a gentleman who I adored,hes 55 we didnt tell anyone we was doing this only our 2 witnesses. It was a gorgeous day. Feb 2011 I picked up my Husbands phone to another woman!I cannot tell you how devastated I was, I still am. This had been going on 10 months & whilst we planned our wedding day. He begged me for another chance which I gave him. We moved house for a "new start" which as it needed quite alot of work doing it took my mind off the problems. Well, it hasnt worked out & im devastated. The problem now is that although we are married as its only been a short time i'm not entitled to stay in the property. The mortgage is in my husbands name (long story)& it was his savings paid the deposit. I'm beginning to wonder if this was his plan all along. I have now got to move out before I lose my sanity. I have been sleeping in the spare room & my son is being affected by this atmosphere we live in which in turn is affecting his schoolwork. I dont claim benefits, I'm a hard worker & the only thing I have is my car which I am more than prepared to sell to pay a deposit to rent somewhere. Its not worth much though & I still need to travel to work (15miles) can anyone please consider helping me? If not me then consider my Son? I'm not asking for much, even a couple pence helps towards something. I'm a proud person & this is very difficult for me. Thankyou in advance to everyone that has read my letter.

I recently became disabled, I am a mother of 6 children ages range from 5-13yrs. I have a husband who tries his best to keep us afloat. Disability does not kick in for another week. Our rent is past due, and our bills are doubled. Power is to be disconnected today on Feb.27th! We are so out of luck right now, we don't know what to do. We are facing eviction pretty soon. I thought income tax would be great as I was a health care worker, but that is only $500 due to having so many children they weren't taking off any taxes! We are basically living on our Child tax right now, as my husband needs to take care of us and is only getting part-time hours at work. We applied for loans and were denied because we have no full-time income right now. We have no savings, or any kind of bonds to fall back on. We are very desperately seeking some financial assistance, even if someone wants to pay a bill directly...We are not looking for cash...We have helped so many people, and it feels like there is nothing we can do or say to get help. We have liquidated our assets and only have our basic needs met right now...which is food and shelter for the time being. I have had to defer payments on our vehicle loan, and we are running out of time for that as well. As a working family we were making all of our payments to rent, utilities, loans on time...Now we are far behind and it feels like there is no getting ahead. I will be recieving disability insurance but that is only 66% of my income and that will be on March 2nd and we will be 2 months behind on rent at that time, and we will not have power if we are not evicted by then. I never ask anyone for anything but if anyone out there hears our cries for help and is willing to do a huge favor we would appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts and we are willing to do anything even if it involves repayment or another favor in return.
Sincerely,
Very Desperate

Hello to Everyone willing to help my family and me,
My name is George; I am married with three children at home.

I have been out of work for several months now and my Wife
works PT. (25 hrs) a week minimum wage and it’s been very
hard on us to get the basic things we need for our house hold.
With the economy being so bad and only one of us at home
Working PT for a family of five makes it even worse.

So I thought maybe try this hoping there is some Kind, caring
People willing to help out a struggling family with any donation
Amount to buy; Food,Tioletries, cleaning products, clothing, Bills
Children’s school supplies. We would appreciate any assistance.

So even if it’s only a dollar or more every little bit helps my family.
On behalf of my family I would like to say to those that can help.
Thank You So Very Very Much, Best Wishes to All.
George & Family

I am a stay at home mom to two little girls. They are both under 2 years old. I took out $50,000 in student loan debt thinking I would get a great paying job that would enable me to pay back those loans. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. Most of my loans are still in unemployment deferment for a few more months, but I have a private loan that is not willing to help me at all. They are willing to settle for $4706.71 if I pay in full by the end of Feb or they will sue. This is what I am most worried about. The cost of daycare for my little ones is more than I am getting offered for jobs in my field. I have gone as far as trying to find children I can care for to make even a little money, but so far that has not panned out either. Because of my husband's job we have moved away from family and friends and don't have that resource to help with caring for the children. My husband is going broke trying to pay our basic necessities and cannot help me pay these loans. We are so desperate for any help we can get. I never imagined I would be begging for money from strangers, but this is a last resort. I have collectors and lawyers threatening me now and I just need a little help until I can find a source of income. Even $1 would help. I would definately pay it forward once I'm in a position to do so. I am an honest, caring person who has always given help to others whenever I could. I just hope there is someone out there that might do the same for me. Thank you so much for reading this.

Hi I am a proud father of 2 and have a wonderful wife, like most of the population times are hard, I thought I'd treat the family to a holiday nothing fancy just the sunday paper deal. At the time it seemed like a good idea until the small print said deposit needed by end feb, and it's on a 1st come 1st serve basis.My wife thinks I have paid it but i am ashamed to say I havent as I have nt got it. I am a very desperate man in need of genorosity
please help

My husband had open heart surgery 2 weeks ago(his 3rd heart surgery). He has aortic stenosis and insufficiency and just had his Aortic valve replaced and his aorta reconstructed along with a valvuplasty. He lost his job because of his heart (He was born with this problem but it gradually gets worse) which caused us to become homeless which caused us to have my sister watch our son for now, which caused me to lose my waitressing job. Now we don't know how we will pay for his Xrays next week, his heart arrhythmia medication, and Feb. 8th his appointment to talk to his surgeon about doing more work. Not only can we not take care of his medical needs (which by the way, open heart surgery and car seats don't mix, he always is in terrible pain), but we also have no food most of the time. I don't know what to do. I hate asking for free hand outs, but i'm not going to let my pride stop me from reaching out for help when we're in this situation. Me and our son need him to get better. Anything will make me so happy. Every penny counts. Thank you so much for anyone who is willing to help us in this time of need.

Hi, I'm new to this and also a tad embarrassed but i really need help towards my wedding on 29th feb 2012. I have recently taken on a 2nd bar job to try and help but I am now exhausted, i hardly see my children and with only less then 5 weeks to go we are still no where near the funds needed and stressing more then you could believe. we aren't having a big over the top wedding, we are being married in church and then a party in a pub hall afterwards but even the smallest of weddings mount up. You may think well you chose to do it, well yes but our main reason for getting married (other then loving each other) is for our children, so that they have a stable and together family life, with the security that marriage offers. Please any small donation would be greatly appreciated and once the wedding is sorted and finances stable I will be donating to others that need the help.

Hello one and all,

As some of you may know and for those that dont i am completely passionate about swimming...in any water at any time any where and with as many people as i can, and i am equally passionate about encouraging others to do the same. I have thoroughly enjoyed coaching each and every person that i have come across that has asked for it (and some that haven't), whether that is for an event, a race, fitness, mental health what ever the reason, i have endeavored to create a safe environment were all feel safe, achieve, surpass that achievement and go on to develop a deep passion for swimming. I have met some incredible people along the way, who's reasons for wanting to enter or re-enter the water have left me breathless at times.
I would now like to turn that passion into something more, the group is expanding which i am overjoyed with, people are progressing, requests are coming in for me to help more and more people and each and everyone of them will get my undivided attention.

But i want to turn my passion into a qualification and therefore what to formalise what i am doing and 'be qualified' so we can get more and more people into the open water, the pool and into swimming in general. I also wish to apply for funding to the group so we can get training aids, wetsuits etc so the cost of starting in open water or any other type of swimming is not so great for people, i have been informed that if i am qualified and formalise the group we can apply and will certainly get funding for equipment. I want to make it a truly inclusive hobby or sport for people of all ages, abilities and disciplines. This last year has shown me how passionate i am about helping people reach their goals and i want to continue to do so.

But right now i need your help, as some of you know, i got made redundant (believe me i was not pleased about it) and money is not the easiest thing for me to find, swim courses are not held on a roll on roll off basis, there is a course coming up in March, but applications have to be in by the 6th of Feb, so essentially i have until the 5th to raise the money. My plan for the immediate and long term future is to get myself qualified then to raise money through sponsorship and any other means i can to get others qualified so that each an every one of us that wants to can get not only a qualification but a career in swimming, so we can keep the bug that is inside all of us alive and kicking. I also plan to extend this to other groups so they can be formalised and each of us do the same in our respective locations. There are no formal qualifications other than triathlon ones to teach open water swimming...as a trainer i will be looking to write a course for others to qualify in, we all work hard at our hobby, but i feel we could really expand what we do and really open it up to the masses. You know how passionate i am but also how proud so i do not ask lightly, your generosity would be appreciated, even if its just a penny...look down the back of the sofa....!!! I know times are hard for one and all so that is why i will understand if you can not help..if you can you know it will be money not wasted. For each an every one of that gets qualified a new swim adventure starts, we will be a team and who knows in the future we might be recognised for the impact we have on swimming and those who want to swim! How do you donate....via paypal as i think that is the safest way!!! If you can think of any other way i can raise the money ......let me know!!

My paypal address is pauline_squire@sky.com

Anything no matter how large or small would be eternally grateful. It goes without saying, my progress, the swims, the fun the laughter and the future will all be blogged about ...so there will be plenty for you to read about too xxxx

Never thought I would find myself on here doing this. But anyway, recent events have put me in a huge hole and with or economy and job market not improving I have no other choice than to ask for help. I have to raise approximately $5,000 in the matter of a few weeks. To be exact by Feb. 5th. WE are behind on rent and on our storage unit. I have been unemployed for some time now and my wife has been ill. With everything that has happened we find ourselves in a predicament and haven't been able to get out of yet. I was hoping that some of the individuals that visit this site would be able to help us. Even if it means a loan for a year or two to get us out from under.

I am an old maid, just turned 60 and can't seem to find a job . I was laid off the end of May 2009 and no matter how many applications I fill out and interviews I go on, no one hires me. I am always the oldest person at interviews, so I am pretty sure I am being passed over because of my age. I was getting help from the church but they have cut me off because they don't get as much money in the offering as they used to. My Mother died last year, I have no one else to turn to. I am not eligable for unemployment pay and have no savings.
If there is anyone reading this who could help me with a one time gift of $500 I could make my car payment, which is now late, and pay my utility bills for end of Jan. first of Feb. I also need help with rent but would be so grateful for the $500 to cover the other expenses. Please someone help me if you can. I would not expect help from you again. Thank you, Jane<><

I'm a 41 year old female on disability,I've worked a real job since I was 15 years old. But I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and the pain makes things so hard. And work is even harder to find lately. I am in an unhealthy relationship and I desperately need to move. I have until the end of Feb and me and my 2 cats will be on the streets.

He thinks I am dependant on him and cannot leave and he can keep mistreating me but I will leave even with no place to go and no money. I just pray that someone will help me.

I am a 28 yr. old male living in Memphis....i lost my job in august and have been getting by until now.....after the christmas holidays, i recieved an eviction notice for Feb.1.....i will be evicted if i cannot pay the rent....plz help anything will be a blessing. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
