I am a graduating college senior in a bit of a financial predicament.

1. I still don't have my cap and gown. I had one, but my car got stolen and I stupidly hadn't taken it out yet, and when I got my car back it was gone. That's $89.

2. My family is coming for graduation. No one has any money, and I just want to pay for their hotel for one night so they can see me graduate. I'm the first in my family to graduate from a major university, that's $100.

3. I would love to cook a huge meal for my friends and family while they are here for my graduation. I could work wonders with just another $100.

4. My bank account is overdrawn. If it doesn't get paid in two weeks, then I can't get my financial aid from my new graduate program I'm starting in a few weeks. Its my only bank account and I won't qualify for another one because I've made some major financial mistakes while in college. Its $75 overdrawn.

5. My phone bill is due in 6 days. To avoid service interruption, I have to pay 2 months worth of the bill, since I'm behind one month. The full amount due is $175.00.

6. I was lucky enough to find an apartment I can live in for really cheap for the summer, until my full time job I just got starts and I get my financial aid from my program. The deposit for the apartment is $150, and I have the rest of May absolutely free and can even pay the rent of June when I get my financial aid from my grad program.

7. The last 11 dollars is just to have something in my pocket, since I seriously do not have any money.

I know there are probably more beggars on this site than donors, but I figured it was worth a try. This is why I need the money. If you send me $700 via paypal, I will delete this ad and send you $1000 back on the 10th of June. Guaranteed.

My husband and I had a nice place that we were buying and then we both got laid off well he was working alittle and it was pay insurance or the electric bill. We paid the electric bill and was starting to get on our feet when our home burned to the ground, we did not recieve much help but we found another place to live and stayed there for nearly 7 yrs. The roof started leaking very bad and the land lord just laid tin down on the wet rotting roof well black mold started growing and I spent the next yr back and forth to the Dr trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Lost wieght, exremly tired slept all the time, no energy. well one dr finally figured it out BLack Mold. we moved in with our son and his family and about 4 months ago we moved into a new place. while I was cleaning the bathroom I found black mold all over the walls. We have found another home but we do not have the money for all the deposits on electric gas house deposit. We need ya'lls help so very mch. I will gladly send you a copy of the reciept for which ever one is turned on. I will also send you a reciept so you can take it off of your taxes if possible. My husband works sunup to after dark 6 days a week we only have one vehicle and he works 40 miles one way from home and moving into this new house will help cut down his driving time because it is closer to his work. Thank you all for atleast reading this and hopefully you will find it in your heart to help us

I am 28 years old and I have a 21month old. My child's father got into trouble with the law and instead of serving time he fled the country. I cannot file for child support since he doesn't live or work here. He doesnt send me money or anything. I applied fur child care assistance and I make too much money. By the time I pay for rent ($810), diapers, food, gas, utilities, and my car payment I have nothing left for daycare for my child. I had a friend helping me but she was a horrible mother to her kids and I don't want my kid in that environment. I have had to call in to work and I may lose my job if I can't get daycare figured out. I even sold my couch and I'm ready to sell other furniture to get by. Please help!

I'm a young female and I'm desperate in getting plastic surgery! I'm not looking to get anything like breast implants... I'm looking to get reconstructive surgery for my face. For a long time I've always wanted to get this done but never could afford it! It's not like I'm trying to look perfect or anything... this is something that I truly need! With this problem that I have I have extremely low self-esteem and still suffer from depression because of my looks.... even contemplated suicide! There are times I feel like I can't even leave the house because of how I look. Even strangers look at me and stare and make rude comments sometimes... it really hurts... especially when they don't even know me! I want to be able to work and have a normal life like everyone else, but right now it's really hard for me to do. It's easy for people to say "you should love yourself the way you are" but if you have people always reminding you how ugly you are, it's not that easy to be confident and ignore what people say. I know if I have this surgery done it will really help my confidence in a big way! I know my life will never be perfect but I know that it will be a lot better than what I'm going through right now. I'm a good person and I'm honest! I figured by coming on here and just posting what I really need it just couldn't hurt. I hate to beg or ask for help for anything because I am a very independent person. But with everything I'm going through, I just can't do this on my own! I'm even willing to do a loan. The full amount I need is now $19,000. So far someone was nice enough to help me out with $1000 towards the surgery. If anyone else out there is willing to even help me out with a loan so I can get this surgery done I would really be grateful for that as well! If someone out there can please help me I would really appreciate it! Every little bit helps! Thank you

Hello thank you for reading my post. Currently my husband's unemployed & we're really struggling. We're in our early 30s. We're living with family but we pay our own way of course. We behind on all our bills now. We're down to one car between the 2 of us & we're now late on that bill($320) plus the phone bill, we're paying 2 different lawyers for other bills($200) & now our bank wants to close our account for lack of funds. It just keeps piling up & we can't catch up! We've sold almost everything we own to try to pay things but its never enough. Its strange doing this but figured I'd give it a try. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. God bless!

I am sure you've heard all sorts of stories and this is a last resort for me but I figured I'd give it a try. I am a mother of 4 children with a husband who is disabled due to seizures. Last year he had 36 seizures in 6 hours and was airvacced to a big city hospital out of our town, since then he lost his job and was told he won't be able to work. I have been at home since 2001 and have had a very hard time finding a job here other than maybe babysitting here and tutoring there. We have a great opportunity being offered to us in Texas but we need to come up with the money to relocate our family. I have sold everything we don't need or we can live without but it's still not enough to pay the remainder of our bills here then make the move and get settled there. We have a job offer as well as a house offer but it still takes money to move our belongings and that is what I am asking for help with. I just want to give my children a better life and where we are now that isn't available. Where we want to move to will not only give them better options in schooling,medical care, but it will also give my husband better access to neurologists. We have one son with Spina Bifida and one with growing problems which will soon result in the need for surgery if he doesn't have access to better options. Anything will help!!! We have never had to ever ask for any type of help and have always been the ones people come to when they need help, but now that we have ran out of our savings and we need the help it seems that all of our "friends" have vanished. I don't want to be rich but I do want the opportunity to provide the best I can for my children!! Thank you so much for even taking the time to read this! Like I said I KNOW everyone has a story and you have probably seen this one a million times but I thought I'd try....

Hello! My name is Joseph. Im a dissabled Vet. Lost my job last July due to a stroke. Took 5months to regain from it. I like to start my own business. I dont have the funds to due so, so I thought If a few thousand people would just send me a dollar thats just $1.00 plus a stamp n an envelope, i could do this. With in the year i would look to expand and put 5 other people to work. So your $1.00 would be put to good use as you can see. Any investors is welcomed as well. I figured i need around $10,000 to start it upwright, or $5,000 to just get me started small. So please if you read this send me a dollar if you can. God bless everyone of you who took the time to read my post. Either email me for more info @ josephhewitt39@yahoo.com, or send just one dollar thats just $1.00 american dollar to the adress listed. Help Me get back to work! God bless you, your family, and the USA! Thankyou.

I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
I'm 20 years old, working as an operator at a machine shop just a few miles from my current apartment.
About a month ago, the president of our company announced that they were going to be moving the shop in a few months. He did not, however, mention that this would cause a lot of us to lose hours due to a lack of received work orders for our CURRENT location.
I already had a couple of outstanding loans from before things went south at work. Just a couple of hundred dollars for electricity or rent that I figured I could pay back quickly taking the shops pay rate into account. However, now that I've been going without more than 10 hours of work a week for almost three weeks paying my loans back is becoming more of a game of trying to scrape together my minimum payment amount while also somehow managing rent, bills, and food money. I've gotten to the point where I'm eating about a meal a day and spending as little time in my apartment as possible to cut back on water and electricity expenses.
The real kicker of this whole situation is that my lease will be expiring 3/19/2012, and I need to manage to get a new apartment before then. With the two outstanding loans, moving expenses, leasing deposits and application fees...well, it's starting to look like I might be living under a bridge next month...
Most people my age would turn to there parents for help, but I don't really have any such luck. Both of my parents just kind of jumped ship as soon as I graduated High School. Last I heard from mom she was using meth, and Dad isn't faring much better...
Please, help me avoid homelessness and give what you can so I can manage a standard, stable adult life.

I am disabled due to menegitis, Im down and out now but I worked for 30 years,....I lost everything due to this illness...im broke sick and tired but I have a son who doesnt want me to be sick..I used to love life and worked alot and was always in demand as an electrician...now menegitis has turned me into a bum or as some would say a dirtbag, I thought about this and figured...wow, since Im not working and cant because of the menegitis which fried my brain a little...I guess I am a bum....Im still Dave the ex jarhead, ex electrician and worker of 30 years but yea I think Im really just a bum now,,,so...I guess Im a bum asking for a buck or two...anything helps, even a shirt or a pair of socks or underwear....I may be a bum but I still like clean tidy whiteys,,,I used to have alot of pride in my work and did it well, I made 70000 a year and had a nice house and a nice truck....even people who see me now look at me like Im a bum...I would say whoa is me but hey if it looks like a bum, talks like a bum...it is a bum...so...I asking like a bum would ask...help a bum out...Thanx Dave the bum

Dear friend,
I've spent the last 6 years paying my own way through school but now, nearing the end of my first year of graduate school, I have fallen upon tough times. The money I receive is not enough to pay my rent or bills or put food in the fridge (I get about 190$ every two weeks). The stress of not knowing how I'm going to pay my expenses while I write my thesis is taking a serious toll both emotionally and physically. I'm constantly depressed and suffering from stress headaches. I'm afraid this will affect my academic work which will in turn have serious consequences on my future. I don't need much, maybe 1000$? Just enough to get me through the next couple months after which I will hopefully have figured something out. Please help. I'm desperate :(

First off I want to point out that reading most of these posts you can tell they are scams, they don't even type proper english. But this is no sob story of me loosing my house I am just looking for a good-hearted person possibly trying to help someone out. I am a 19yr old sophomore at college in Boone, NC. I am going to school to get a degree in elementary education and have to work 25-50 hours a week (on top of 18 hours in college, which if you ever went you know is not an easy task on its own) in order to pay bills. My parents have been split up since I was about a year old and neither have extra money to spare. Between tuition, car insurance, car payment, rent, food and cell phone bills I am stressed out and my grades seem to be slipping. I would just like a little less stress in this busy life of mine. If anyone would like to help me out or just wants more information first to confirm this isn't a scam just send me a message. I figured this was worth a try right? Thanks everyone!

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'm a young female and I'm desperate in getting plastic surgery! I'm not looking to get anything like breast implants... I'm looking to get reconstructive surgery for my face. For a long time I've always wanted to get this done but never could afford it! It's not like I'm trying to look perfect or anything... this is something that I truly need! With this problem that I have I have extremely low self-esteem and still suffer from depression because of my looks.... even contemplated suicide! There are times I feel like I can't even leave the house because of how I look. Even strangers look at me and stare and make rude comments sometimes... it really hurts... especially when they don't even know me! I want to be able to work and have a normal life like everyone else, but right now it's really hard for me to do. It's easy for people to say "you should love yourself the way you are" but if you have people always reminding you how ugly you are, it's not that easy to be confident and ignore what people say. I know if I have this surgery done it will really help my confidence in a big way! I know my life will never be perfect but I know that it will be a lot better than what I'm going through right now. I'm a good person and I'm honest! I figured by coming on here and just posting what I really need it just couldn't hurt. I hate to beg or ask for help for anything because I am a very independent person. But with everything I'm going through, I just can't do this on my own! I'm even willing to do a loan. The full amount I need is now $19,000. So far someone was nice enough to help me out with $1000 towards the surgery. If anyone else out there is willing to even help me out with a loan so I can get this surgery done I would really be grateful for that as well! If someone out there can please help me I would really appreciate it! Every little bit helps! Thank you

I'm a young female and I'm desperate in getting plastic surgery! I'm not looking to get anything like breast implants... I'm looking to get reconstructive surgery for my face. For a long time I've always wanted to get this done but never could afford it! It's not like I'm trying to look perfect or anything... this is something that I truly need! With this problem that I have I have extremely low self-esteem and still suffer from depression because of my looks.... even contemplated suicide! There are times I feel like I can't even leave the house because of how I look. Even strangers look at me and stare and make rude comments sometimes... it really hurts... especially when they don't even know me! I want to be able to work and have a normal life like everyone else, but right now it's really hard for me to do.
