Drained By Divorce and Bad Economy

Posted by downnout81 on 2012-05-19 00:58:23

A few years ago my wife and I divorced. I got stuck with her car payment, student loans, legal fees, and credit card bills. She was awarded our house, but because it was purchased under a VA loan, it remained in my name. She hasn't made a single payment on it in over two and a half years and it is now in foreclosure. My credit is shot. I am a union electrician and due to a bad economy I have been out of work for two out of the last three years. Things got so bad for me that I went over two years without seeing my children. A few months ago I was finally able to borrow enough money from friends to get an attorney and get visitation of my kids again. With all my ex wife's bills that I am responsible for, plus child support and my own cost of living, I am unable to stay afloat. I am drowning in debt and the stress is taking a toll on my body, as I have been gaining a great amount of weight. I know the economy is bad for many people, and I am ashamed and embarassed that it has come to this for me, but I am turning to the many good samaritans that I know are out there and asking you for your help. I am a good person and when times were good for me I always helped the less fortunate when and where I could. Now I, unfortunately, am the less fortunate and I need your help. Please show me that there are still generous and caring people out there and help me and my children out any way you can. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Our Home is slipping away... Please HELP now!

Just $10-$20 from YOU, could help us make a dream come true, and possibly others on Begslist.com as well!!
As the housing bubble collapsed, my family and I could see the coming recession and its fall out coming. While my wife has a steady and secure job, and I ran a successful public relation business, we could not chance getting caught in the down pour of bad lending and foreclosure we saw coming. That was our last smart move.
As the recession, I might argue depression spread across the country and our town equally, like so many others, we found ourselves affected in ways we didn't see coming. My business began to fail, losing client after client to hard economic times, until those few clients who were left were asking for reduced costs, some even asking to keep services coming though they can not pay at this point. I have tried to oblige. I continue to serve many clients in trying to promote their products and services "pro-bono" so they can eek out a living in these times.
My wife has been great through all this. She works a steady "day job" to barely meet our monthly rent and bills.
We have tapped every credit card, and can't pay their monthly bills and fees. We have ruined our credit, believing if we could hold back the storm, and continue to help those we serve, we would be alright on the other end.
NOW, as home prices are finally in reach, we find that we can no longer qualify for the loan that would get us, and our five sons into a new home. With home costs once nearing and surpassing $200K, we can now buy the perfect home for $50K. That's what we're asking for now: $50K!! Banks, once far too anxious to give loans for over-priced homes to people who could not afford them, now turn us away for a much more reasonable loan that would actually lower our monthly expenses by almost 1/2. We now watch as wealthy investors snatch up the homes once financed by real families and foreclosed on. But in the time it takes to rebuild the credit we need to get financed, these moguls will have all of the properties and be renting them out to all of us who could not hope to own under these terms.
So we turn to YOU! A generous stranger, who can help make our dream come true. YOU can donate a small portion of this expense, and help us to make this dream come true. We are setting a goal of $50K, and hoping to beat the tide of greedy investors from owning what could be our new home. As we get closer to our goal we will use some of the thoughtful contributions we receive to repair the credit we have forfieted, so we might get the funding we need on our own through a bank. IF this happens, and we exceed donations needed, then we will donate the remaining funds to others on Begslist.com, including to the Begslist.com creator to continue to help neighbors help neighbors ... because we all need help sometimes!

Charity opportunity

Please help with this charity with their last-ditch effort to save a home from Foreclosure:

"We were able to convince the bank to give us 1 month before they do an auction and we end up on the street.
I believe that by asking you and other fellow neighbors and citizens for a small contribution will go a long way to helping us stay here so our kids can grow up and finish school.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

HELP US PLEASE - HOME IN DANGER OF REPOSSESSION

Posted by FallenFromGrace on 2012-05-15 05:58:23

Dear Sir or Madam,

We are an average family who have fallen upon very hard times. My wife was let go from her work about 18 months ago with no severance pay and has been unable to find any payable employment since... she has been volunteering at the local school as a classroom assistant but really could do with finding some new work soon.

As you can imagine with my wifes income lost to us things have been tight for a while now so it was an awful second blow when my employers went into administration and the factory was finally closed with all employees laid off, again with no severance pay just over 6 months ago now by the Administrators... we had been hopeful of a buyout but it didn't happen and the whole lot of us were placed onto the scrapheap. As it was we had no payrise for the previous four years...

Things are now hitting crisis point for me and my family, I have only been able to find 4 weeks of paying work in the last six months... we have sold the family car to try and keep my daughter in college and have the house up for sale in the hope we can pay off the capital and start renting but if we don't make this next mortgage payment the bank are going to start foreclosure on us... as for my slightly younger son and his college future that is currently looking very unlikely...

The family pets (2 Cats and 1 Staffie Dog) are as much a part of this family as any of us yet we are now with great reluctance and heartfelt pain considering having to give them up to a the local rescue centre... I think I will cry a thousand tears if I have to let them go but I need to be pratical and focus on my wife and children and putting them first... For I will cry a million tears if I let them down any further than I already have...

Any HELP you can give us will be most gratefully received and a prayer of thanks will be said for every penny.

God Bless you and God Bless America.

Many thanks for reading this.

Help me save my home!

Posted by camlie on 2012-05-10 07:58:24

Two years ago my husband lost his job. We live in Michigan so finding another job was difficult to say the least. In between loosing his job & finding another we spent every penny we had saved trying to keep up with our mortgage & other bills. Once we got behind, it became impossible to catch up so now we are facing foreclosure. We called our mortgage company & they said that if we can pay them $35,000 by June 15th we will be paid in full & own our home outright! We owe them $110,000 but they are willing to forgive that & accept $35,000!!! If we cant come up with that amount they will foreclose & we will be homeless. We have gone to family members but sadly no one will help us. This is everything to me, I have been so depressed & afraid. What will my children think of me? Please help us, any little bit will help. Thank you & God Bless you!

FATHER IN NEED

Posted by freebird48 on 2012-05-09 12:58:11

I am the custodial parent of 3 children, a daughter that's 17, and 2 boys, 14 and 9. I have been divorced for 3yrs. now, tending to the everyday needs, for my children and their school activities. My ex-wife had turned diabetic, from giving birth to the children and had fallen into a severe case of post-pardon depression, due to the diabetic condition that had worsened as the children were born, which turned her to alcohol. As most of us know, alcohol and diabetes do not mix, at first I was unaware, of how severe this can be, but as time progressed, we could see the roller-coaster personality shine through. After hearing from others about the way some things were being handled by her, such as pinning them down on the ground, to brush their teeth, or ripping a brush through my daughters hair in the morning before school, I needed to do something about it. This was hard to see at first, since I was at work everyday on a 45-50hr. work week. One particular event, that has been a soar spot with my daughter, was a few days before Christmas, when she was helping decorate the tree and had started to put the tinsel on before the ornaments. Her mom, was into about her 2nd drink, which had brought her sugar-level up, started screaming at her about putting the ornaments on first, and just about ripped her arms off, tearing the tinsel out of her hands!!! Last year, was the first year, after spending many hours with her, that she was brave enough to help decorate the tree.

My oldest son, now 14, has had some very bad experiences, that had put so much stress on him that he started pulling his hair out, until he was completely bald on top of his head !!! The stress was caused by being constantly screamed at for things, that he was even doing. The last thing that really broke the camels back was, when he was trying to restrain his mother during a delirious diabetic overload of sugar, which had skyrocketed, to over 600. She began kicking him, until she kicked him right down the steps and he had to come back up and body slam her down on the floor, we all saw the UGLIER side of diabetes that night !!!!! The E.R. was called in and they strapped her down on a stretcher, deemed her delusional, then rushed her off to the hospital. Their mother decided after that happened, that it would be a good idea to leave the family and doesn't have much contact with her children. I've spent a lot of time with them, working through some of the traumatic episodes, that they encountered and have lost a lot of time for employment. Now that I have been unemployed for quite sometime and being a man in this position, getting assistance or help is almost impossible. I get the feeling that men with children are discriminated, there are no programs in place by the government for men with children. I am now up against all odds, the roof on our house needs to be shingled, every time it rains we see piles of gravel on the ground and my vehicle is on it's last leg. The utilities are always in shut off status and I'm now falling into foreclosure, due to being behind on the house payments for heavens sake, let alone the kids being sick from time to time, because of the old and deteriorating carpet in our house, so I'm being told by the doctors.

PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO GET THE
MONEY TO MAKE THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN ANY BETTER !!!






Heart attack last week

Posted by cocoa570 on 2012-05-06 23:58:37

Hello, last week i had a heart attack, I have been told I won't be able to return to work for close to three months or more since there is another blockage they need to open up in a month. My electric bill was behind prior to this. When I returned home from the hospital i found attached to the door a shut off notice from my utility company. My financial problems dont end there, My home has fallen into foreclosure as well many other families. I was starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but my health caught up with me. I work two jobs (well, up until now) just to provide a life for me and my two sons but now can't even do that. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please help if you can.
I leave everything in God's hand but I still have to do something. Maybe God's helping hand Angel(s) are on this website.

I lost my job and finding one is difficult. We could not afford my car payment and my car was repoed. The motor in wife's car burned up and needs replacing, but we don't have the money to replace it. She is the only one with a job right now and it is difficult to get her back and forth to work. So each day is a struggle to get her to work between trying to borrow cars or get rides just to keep her job.

We choose which bill not to pay that month, just to have food in the house to feed our young son and buy him clothes because he is having his growth spurts.

The phone will soon be cut off due to non-payment and then how will an potential employer contact me for work.

We are behind on the house note again. Thank God for income tax returns because that caught up the past due house note and stopped foreclosure from the end of last year. But we are behind again and another foreclosure will soon be issued, just so we can feed our family, have utilities and a phone.

Any donations from Angel's would be greatly appreciated. Even $5.00 from 1 Angel would let us buy some hamburger meat and bread for a meal.

God bless and multiply everyone that just reads this 'beg'.

To much, not enough time

Posted by hopefully on 2012-04-29 20:58:13

I have posted here before, but I didn't confirm my email address so if anyone has tried to donate they couldn't.

My story is, I'm in my forties, married for 30 years. I have been happy and unhappy.Right now I'm unhappy.

We owe very little money on our house. However we are going to lose it to foreclosure unless we come up with seven thousand dollars. We have sold everything of value that we could sell.

We have always been hard working people, helped others when they needed it. Now we need help and have no one to turn to.

I have a job, but after our families health insurance is taken out I only bring home $78 every two weeks. I know your thinking cancel it. You can only cancel once a year or of course you lose it if you leave this job. I don't want to leave this job.
Why is it so special, I work with special needs students. It's a very intense job,ages range from 14 -22 years of age. It takes a lot of patience and tolerance for the unexpected to happen. I have what it takes to do this job. Except money. I'm a teachers assistant. I trying to go to school to get a degree. I can't handle over two classes a semester. I have medical issues too, I'm to afraid to cancel my insurance due to the fact I have to go to the doctor and have regular check ups. We do not qualify for aid.

My marriage is not in the best of health either. I need help to save my home, maybe my marriage and my job. This is not easy for me. I'm just very scared, maybe someone will understand what I'm saying, I want to keep what I have, it's not much, I want to continue working in the job I have, I know it isn't going to pay my bills, but if I can get caught up I can still be there for those special kids. Finally, if the strain of being on the verge of losing our house is gone maybe I can heal my marriage. I don't want to throw away 30 years of my life.

And if you can't do anything for me, just pray for us, God bless, hopefully

Please help

I am in need of help. I am a single mother with 3 girls. Will be foreclosed on soon and on top of that I have very high medical bills.
I work hard to be a self-sufficient single mother. When I lost my job through no fault of my own, I contacted my Mortgage Company and asked them to work with me. They said they would give me a forebearance agreement but after submitting all the requested documents they didn't follow through. In August 2011 they did the robo-signing of my loan that resulted in my house being put into foreclosure. Fortunately at that time they didn't give me a sale date. I was told that since I was getting unemployment I was eligible for a unemployment bridge loan modification program. Again I submitted all the requested documents but my mortgage company once again dragged the process out from Aug. 2011 up until my unemployment benefits ran out on April 7, 2012, I received a notice on April 14, 2012. I received a notice saying that my house is set to be sold on May 29, 2012. I'm in a desperate situation. Both my parents are deceased, my son is an straight A student that will have to go move to another state and stay with his father if I lose our home. The timing for the sale is very bad because I have two job interviews coming up April 30th. I need $20,000 to pay the bank's attorney fees and a years worth of arrearages. If 1,000 kind people could find it in their hearts to each donate $20 my son and I can remain together and continue to enjoy our life in our Old Kentucky Home which was built in 1892.
In February 2011 I lost my job through no fault of my own. I've looked for work, I got some interviews but no job offers. I even applied for jobs far below my skill set without any luck. I had contacted the bank early on and was told they had a loan modification program for the unemployed. I submitted all the documents requested of me but the process dragged on and every 60 - 90 days they would ask for a new Harship Letter, Financial Statements, etc. March 25 I was contacted by phone and told that updated documents were needed for the last time and that they were going to try to get me qualified for the Affordable Home Program, however, I received a notice on April 4, 2012 telling my house is scheduled to be sold May 29, 2012. I need $19,000 to save my home and keep me and my son off the street. It comes at a really bad time because I'm scheduled to test for my licensure as an LCDC on April 27 and have had 2 employers express interest in interviewing if I pass my test. I'm desperate and don't know where else to turn. I've put always every dime I made into improving my house and I become physically ill when I think of someone being able to acquire my beloved home and benefit from all my hard work and sacrifice. The bank actually put mu house in foreclosure August 2011 but only recently gave it a sale date. Please help if you can find it in your heart. God Bless You.

Home in Foreclosure

Posted by sadmel on 2012-04-18 10:58:07

Ok, we have ended up here. I am a wife and amother of 2. My husband had to leave his job in 2008 due to physical restraints a surgery put on his back. I had to start taking care of my mom, who was diagnosed with alzheimers. His pay was cut in half from his previous job. I lost my part time job due to being avaliable for my mom. We need $18000.00 to save our home. I have contacted the bank and they want us to sale our home or give it to foreclosure. We are back on track now. I am working two part-time jobs, my husband has moved up in the company. His wages are back to where they were before. We asked to make 2 or 3 payments amonth to recover the arrears, but they say no!So now we have to come up with $18000. Our parents are all gone now. We only have our little family of four. With our home in forclosure, we cannot get a loan to cover the money. So if you can help please do. Our parents are buried in the graveyard of the church that ajoins our property! We dont want to lose our home. We would appreciate any help. Thank you and God Bless

Save my house

Posted by kiki on 2012-04-03 15:58:55

I am the widow of a Vietnam Veteran. 3 years ago, when my husband died, it was a struggle to get the mortgage and other bills paid. I worked as many as 70 hours a week and was able to keep up with the financial commitments. 2 years ago I lost my job because of the downward spiral of the economy. Since that time I have seen all my savings vanish, along with what valuables I had collected over the years.

I am in need of assistance to pay my mortgage as I am in dire need and am in danger of foreclosure. If I loose my house I will be living on the street as I will not be able to rent an apartment or other dwelling with out a job.

I would prefer to have a job and pay my own way but I fear that my age has prevented any job offers from the hundreds of applications i have submitted.

Any help would be a blessing.

If Only I Saw It Coming!!

Posted by Ashamaaus on 2012-03-29 22:58:53

Because I believe in the power of prayer & the kindness of my fellow man, I've decided to swallow my pride & ask for help. This is not an action I am at all familiar with but am grasping at every straw to attempt to keep a roof over my family's head. We live in a modest house that we've called home for the past 20+ years.

I am a single mother who's been truly blessed with 4, beautiful, healthy children; 3 biological & a foster son that joined our family when he was 12…..he is now 23. My kids are the reason I continue to battle through what has been the most challenging, darkest phase of my 50 years on this Earth.

In the summer of 2011, life, as my family knew it, was forever changed. My son got off the school bus & proceeded to enter a crime scene upon opening the front door of the house we call home. It was immediately clear that we were victims of a daytime home invasion and robbery. A trail of splinters led straight to my bedroom door, which had been demolished in the process of gaining entrance & access to my personal belongings. Robbers took my box of trash bags & proceeded to fill them with anything that could be sold or traded. I came home to find that they had stolen everything of value that I had worked for in my 50 years of existence & everything of value that my kids cherished as well.

It didn't happen often, but on the occasion that I had a few extra dollars to spend on myself, I found pleasure in buying nice jewelry. Through the years, I had managed to accumulate a nice collection. Also, as a child, my father & I shared an interest in coin collecting. I had managed to hold on to several interesting coins my dad & I found. Weekly, he also, gave me & my brothers our allowance of a fifty cent piece each. I had somehow managed to hold on to many of these as well. I stored my coin collection in the bottom portion of my large armoire. This area is what my family referred to as "the safe." Anything of value, particularly sentimental, was given to me to be protected in the safe. A couple good examples are my, then, 10 year old son's game ball for hitting the Championship game winning grand slam home run & my daughter's horse riding medals, show jewelry & accessories, as well as a silver handled knife & sheath…….the only personal possession my foster son owned from his childhood. I carry a tremendous amount of guilt for not doing a better job of safe guarding my family's precious & dear possessions.

In addition to the lingering guilt, the robbery also resulted in life altering psychological effects to me & my family. I continue to wonder if & when I will ever fully recover & be the secure, self confident person I was before the robbery. Immediately following the break-in, I was consumed by finding out who was responsible & ways of obtaining this information…..I could think of nothing else. After several weeks of frantic guessing & running wild goose chases, I started to realize that regaining possession of my property was less likely as each day went by. I could feel myself falling into a dark, lonely place with deep despair…..& unfortunately, I was content to be there. For the next several months, I could not work, did not eat or sleep & rarely came out of my bedroom. There was a film in my head that ran & reran the events leading up to & immediately following the robbery…..filled with the "I should've"s, "I could've"s and "what ifs." I am plagued with distrust & no longer find interest in much of anything. I was robbed of far more than just pieces of property…..they stole my trust in mankind, my desire to thrive, my faith in the world & my sanity.

I have worked as a medical school curriculum manager for 21 years. As a result of my mental decline, I was unable to work for over three months which, consequentially, made it difficult to pay all of the bills. I managed to rob Peter to pay Paul for several months & kept up with everything except for my house payment. It is now in arrears nearly $5,000.00 & I am out of resources. For the first time in my life, I am facing foreclosure. It is embarrassing & humiliating & I don't know how to tell my kids that they are likely to have no place to call home in the very near future. I feel like such a failure! Even though I've been an exemplary employee for many years, as a consequence of the self doubting & tremendous stress, I am now faced with the strong potential of losing my job due to my inability to focus & my lack of desire to face each day, As if this wasn't enough for one person to handle, I am also witnessing the daily decline of my father & my hero due to end stage Parkinson's & Alzheimer's.

I'm not sure how this begging website works but if there is someone out there that is willing to make me a loan & work out a payment arrangement, I promise not to let you down.....you will be repaid! I am working hard to battle the persisting PTSD symptoms that continue to plague me. I just worry that facing homelessness may be more than I can handle. Lord, I hand it over to You coz I come to You a broken, wounded angel. I thank you for any consideration and appreciate all prayers. May God bless you many times & in many ways for your generosity & kindness!

Heartfelt Plea from Broken & Wounded Angel

Posted by Ashamaaus on 2012-03-29 20:58:49

Because I believe in the power of prayer & the kindness of my fellow man, I've decided to swallow my pride & ask for help. This is not an action I am at all familiar with but am grasping at every straw to attempt to keep a roof over my family's head. We live in a modest house that we've called home for the past 25 years.

I am a single mother who's been truly blessed with 4, beautiful, healthy children; 3 biological & a foster son that joined our family when he was 12…..he is now 23. My kids are the reason I continue to battle through what has been the most challenging, darkest phase of my 50 years on this Earth.

In the summer of 2011, life, as my family knew it, was forever changed. My son got off the school bus & proceeded to enter a crime scene upon opening the front door of the house we call home. It was immediately clear that we were victims of a daytime home invasion and robbery. A trail of splinters led straight to my bedroom door, which had been demolished in the process of gaining entrance & access to my personal belongings. Robbers took my box of trash bags & proceeded to fill them with anything that could be sold or traded. I came home to find that they had stolen everything of value that I had worked for in my 50 years of existence & everything of value that my kids cherished as well.

It didn't happen often, but on the occasion that I had a few extra dollars to spend on myself, I found pleasure in buying nice jewelry. Through the years, I had managed to accumulate a nice collection. Also, as a child, my father & I shared an interest in coin collecting.

Worried Mommy in Foreclosure w/ 2 yr old baby!

Posted by Worried-Mommy on 2012-03-28 19:58:47

Please help! This is a last resort to keep a roof over my 2 year old baby girl's head. I am thirty years old and have owned a small condo for the past 6 years with no problems until we lost our jobs of many years due to the economy. We are currently at about six thousand dollars behind in mortgage payments and received notice that we have went into foreclosure. We still have a chance to pay our delinquent amount in full to keep it from actually being foreclosed and becoming homeless. We have no place to go if we lose our home. It is all we have to our name. I feel like such a failure as a mother that it has come to this and really can not bare having to take my baby girl to live in a homeless shelter. To make matters worse, her birthday is in a few days on April 3rd and we have no money at all to be able to have a party for her or to get her a gift. I've never asked or begged for help from strangers before but it's our only hope. We have no one who can help us so hoping to find kind hearted people that know what it’s like to get down on your luck and kicked while you’re down who are able and willing to help a family get back up. Two months after becoming pregnant with my first and only daughter a couple years ago, my fiancée lost his job of twelve years & has struggled to find a stable one since. About two months after our daughter turned one, I lost my job of seven years due to company bankruptcy. We are currently both unemployed and constantly looking for work and doing as many side jobs and gigs as we can in the meantime. We struggle to eat on a constant basis and can’t afford the basic things in life. We are days away from losing our home. We have fallen way behind in our mortgage payment and are begging for help to get caught up. Anything you can help with would be greatly appreciated! I promise every word I have typed is the truth and we are definitely not the worthless type just looking for a free ride or to take advantage of kind and generous people. There are many things we need money for right now but I am only asking to help us get caught up enough to cancel foreclosure proceedings while we try our hardest to find steady work. I am begging purely for the necessity of keeping our roof over our head and not having to live on the street with our baby girl. Please find it in your heart to help us! If we are not able to raise enough money to keep our home, we are hoping to at least raise enough to find another place to live, so any donations will definitely help us greatly! We are very kind-hearted people who are ALWAYS helping anyone we can so we will definitely PAY IT FORWARD! THANK YOU!
