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.

We have lived on the Shanandoah mountain for about two years. We found a house cheaper than our three bedroom condo we did have in manassas. Which was a little over a thousand a month. Our three bedroom house now on the mountain is exactly a thousand a mth. Our ultilities aren't rediculous. In febuary my husband lost his job. He made good money. I was just finishing up suceeding CDL endorsment classes. Etc. To become a school bus driver. Which has been the only job for me that's come my way in a year. We absolutely love the schools here. Which my three children are in each this year. Thankfully my husband has qualified for unemployment. The state is helping us with food and medical insurance. We allready surrendered our economical car. Then our only vehicle motor blew up two weeks ago. My husband is great at fixing vehicles. We just don't have the money to do so. He wants to go to an auction because he's not for sure about putting a lot of money into our vehicle. Allthough at the same time. We are behind on our rent. Thankfully we are truely blessed with a patient and very understanding landlord. My husband has been fixing up things that have been going wrong with the house since he's been out of work. He and I both have a good chance at jobs. We just don't have a way to them now. Its mind boggling for the both of us. We only have our cell phones for internet. Fortunately our close friend is letting us use his truck that my husband fixed for him recently to use to get our kids to and from busstop morning and afternoon. This truck though isn't legal. Please send your prayers for us at most. Help

Hello there fellow earthlivers,

Before I will begin my letter I will first introduce myself. My name is Mike, I am 16 years old and from the Netherlands, if you are a millionaire or just someone that can afford it to give away money I encourage you to continue reading. I know it already sounds it will be like a ''begging letter''. And yes it kinda will be like that. There are people that will need money more than I am, but I am bold enough to ask for it. The U.S. census bureau estimates the world population passed 7 billion on March 12, 2012. There is no doubt possible that there are some very kind persons that awards this to other people. I would like to have a starting capital, so I don't have to work that hard anymore to achieve things. Life is just about working hard so after some time if you have saved some money you can do or buy that one thing you would like to have. You just live life once, and I think you should just live it up as you wanted to. But unfortunately you can't because there are to many rules in the way and don't forget about the money you will need to do this. Fortunately I am doing a good study, so I hope this will lead me to a good job in the future. I already said I would like to have a starting capital. I am working as a postman now, but that will just edify this starting capital a little bit. My parents are both working, but they haven't the ''best'' job either. My dad has his own construction business, but he is just working on his own he has no staff. All the money that he earns goes straight to a house that he must rebuild. He wanted to do buy houses and rent them immediately. This went well just a couple of times. But 10 years ago he did put his money in a wrong house what's even nice to say. And it still isn't finished yet. The walls and roof are there but on the inside is a lot to do. If there would be some money that will be donated, I will certainly give something to my father. I would like to start this buy and rent a house progress too, if everything goes well you can earn some nice extra money with it. My mother schedule dates at a rating agency, she is working 3 days a week, to sustain us and do the payments for the house. Now you know a little bit of the things where it was mostly about, I hope you understand it well and I will wait for answers. If you have any questions (maybe something like this: I don't believe the house story, can you send me pictures of it?) feel free to ask me. Contact me: mikeprinsen@rocketmail.com God bless you all and have a nice day! Mike

I've been off work since Oct 2011 and will return next weekend because of severe complications (infections and open wound) following a hysterectomy. I've finally healed, but because of how the pay periods fall I will not receive a whole paycheck until 3/16/12. This will only give me about half of my $800 rent for March.

I've exhausted all my family and friend resources. There is no rental assistance in my county any longer until the renter has a court-ordered eviction notice in hand. That usually takes 60 days. By then I will have worked enough to have caught up.

I have plenty of food, some food stamps and (fortunately) cheap public transportation.

I got this apartment through the kindness of my landlord - my credit is bad - and I know that she struggles to make ends meet too.

I don't know what I might be able to do for people here once I get back to work again, but I will be back, and do what I can.

About me: Single, never married, childless, recovering alcoholic (9 years), I work as a residential assistant in a group home (9 years).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The main purpose of my wife's and my own life is to get the best education possible for my 6 kids. 3 are in different universities, 1 boy is in high school, another in intermediate and the little girl graduates this year from elementary school.

Here in Puerto Rico, a US territory, public education is a disaster and most private schools are not as good as you would expect. Fortunately, my kids are all very good students and have been accepted to the best schools in the country. Those schools are also quite expensive.

Until now, we have been able to pay for that excellent education in part because we work very hard and also because the kids, being the good students they are, have got some financial aid.

But this last year has been very difficult for us. my wife lost her job and it has been very difficult to find another. I work for myself in the education area, but business has been very slow lately.

As a result, we are in very deep trouble. One of the boys had to skip a semester in the university, we are very overdue in the boys tuition payments and we don't have the money for the initial fee for the girl in her new school (did I tell you that she was accepted in the best girls school in the Caribbean region?).

You can help make our dream and our main purpose in life come true. Although we are behind by several thousand dollars, any help, no matter how small will help a lot and will be greatly thanked by us.

Hi guys,

I'm not the sort of person to beg and i don't expect sympathy and to use this as a sob story as this is my fault in the first place. I'm 19 years of age and already have the experience of facing debt which i can tell you is not pleasent.

Story...

Ever since two year ago i was introduced to payday loans because due to my credit history where i'd missed my phone bills by accident due to my direct debits not being payed properly it affected my credit rating badly so i was unable to get a proper loan to learn how to drive. I eventually got into a situation where i took out a payday loan to pay the other payday loan and ended up in one vicious cycle. The problem was a couple of month ago i was made redundant and fortunately i found a job the month after with great career prospects (apprenticeship) the only bad thing is i have took a massive pay cut which means i can't afford to pay these debts anymore. So i'm asking anyone out there even if it's just £1/$1 they have free (sorry i'm english) then please donate to my cause? I know there are people out there who are far off worse (homeless/in huge amounts of debt compared to mine) but it's the most horrible situation. I can't sleep or think about anything else other than the problem i'm currently facing. Anybody who can help i will be forever indebted too.

Thanks

Jamie

I am a 38 years old men from Hungary. I had been married for 10 years and I was absolutely satisfied with my life. I loved my wife very much. We had a child, a little sweet boy and we were living in a small apartment. I was never rich, but I was happy.

But in a "nice" spring day a got an unwanted phone call. A women - who has not revealed her name - told me that my wife had a lover and wanted to leave me. And - as it turned out - it was true. To the top of that it also turned out, that my wife was already pregnant from her lover. My whole world collapsed.

I loved my wife very much, I forgave her everything and asked her to remain with me. I promised her that I will accept her baby as my baby. After lengthy inner debate she decided to remain with me. A few months later her baby was born. I loved her little girl, because she was completely innocent. How could I hate her?

As time went by her baby got stronger. I hoped that things would get better. "Time heals all wounds" - as they say. But once, when I got home from work I found an absolutely empty apartment! She moved to her lover and she took my son with her! There was no word to describe my chagrin! I lost my wife, I lost my son, I lost my whole life just one day.

When I recovered myself I started to beg her to come back to me, because I was unable to process the events. A few months later my wife quarreled with her lover and to my greatest surprise she told me that she wanted to come back. I was very-very happy! I felt that I got back my life!

After she moved back with my son I started to look for a bigger apartment, because our old apartment became a bit small to our increased family. I found one which was large enough, but I had to ask for a huge loan from a bank to buy it. After we bought the new big apartment we all moved there and I thought that the dark period of my life was over. I thought that the moving and the nice new apartment will help my wife to distract her thoughts from her swirling and unstable feelings. This was a big mistake. One year later my wife left me again. She came together with her lover again and she moved to him. Fortunately she didn't take my son with her. This was the only consolation for me.

At last - three years ago - we got divorced. Since then my life is very hard. Due to all these events my financial situation is terrible. We are living from only one income. I am raising my son completely alone, no childcare, no family, no friends that can help me. It is not to easy for a men. I have to pay the high cost of the big flat and I have to pay an installment every month to the bank. I have a mortgage on my apartment. If I won't be able to pay the installment we will loose our home! My ex-wife doesn't even want to know about my awful situation although she was the one who caused the problems. I try to struggle out of this situation but I can't. I really work hard as a software developer but my salary in not enough for me to pay all our bills. I can't sell my apartment because of the economic crisis. Now my debt is much more higher than the value of my apartment.

I am not proud of my story. I admit that I was very-very naive. Maybe I should not have to stick to my wife for so long but I really very loved her. Now I am in a big trouble. If anyone could help me I would be grateful!

I'm a single mom of two amazingly great kids. Fortunately for me I'm healthy and my kids are healthy, however I work full time for only $9hour (which makes it tough to pay all the bills on $1200.00 a month income) I am a full time student who has just been accepted into the pre-nursing program, and if all goes well I will graduate in 3.5 years. Once again keeping with the positive, my school is a few miles from my work and my boss is gracious enough to allow me to take some of my classes during the workday as long as I continue to keep up my work, I'm thankful for this because then my nights are still spent with my kids. Failed marriage and business has brought me to this place on my knees begging but I am in need of some assistance for bills that keep piling up, past credit card debts, my mortgage is 13months behind and my kids are too understanding of the word "no" they tell me it's ok and I'm grateful for my kids because they make my life worth living...but I feel sad to constantly have to pay bills instead of treating them to an occasional movie, or splurging on that babydoll or legos they stare at in the store, but we all do what we have to do, electric is a necessity and unfortunately so is fuel both have become extremely EXPENSIVE, they are too kind for my shortcomings, and they are the reason I am sooo driven to finish school no matter how hard it may seem. I have tried so hard to keep everything together but I'm running out of options and faith. I pray to God every night, to give me the stregnth to keep pushing forward, I keep praying to God, NOT for riches, but to help me make just enough money to pay the utilities on time and groceries for my kids to eat. If you could just help me a little, every dollar counts and I promise to pay it forward once I graduate and I am on my feet.....I would and will be forever grateful!!!

Hello

Whether I will get donate or not I have decide to try to beg on generosity of people. My story will be similar to many people in now days. It will be bit long but please bear with me.

I have lost my job Feb, 2009. I have seen it coming because the store I was working was losing customers because many of our customers lost their job during the start of recession in 2009. I have looked jobs everywhere I can think of, online, offline, through people whom I know and some I barely know. All I heard was most businesses are having difficulty so it will be hard to get a job any time soon but keep trying. While I was receiving unemployment we, I and my daughter (17), were able to pay rent and bill(only phone/internet, electricity) with help of friends and family but I have exhausted my benefit last year. It was hard but I was able to get odd jobs, temp jobs and my meager saving to pay rent and bills but now my savings are gone and I still don't have job.

Fortunately my brother decide to move with us to help with rent but it didn't work out because he and his wife are having problems. She thought that they need to think of their need first and I do understand her position and I want to get my own place or even rent a room for myself and my daughter. During last 4 month they were staying at my place, rent was taken care of with them paying majority of rent and I paid whatever I could(I get $300a month for child support)but they raised electricity up so high now it is 517.00 I thought they will pay but they decide to move after X-mas which left to me pay all that and rent for next month. There is no way I be able to pay even potion of bill, let alone rent for next month.

I know money is tight for everyone but if any generous soul sees this, I hope they will help me to move out of this place to single or rent a room for my daughter and me. I have checked out price for room or single and it is around 400-600 and deposit for 200-300. I believe I can get extension to postpone the electric bills to the end of this month, Hopely I would move out here and make arrangement to pay that bill later.

Thank you for reading this long post. If you could help me it will be x-mas gifts for us, since we are not having x-mas.

I have $17 in my account, and would love some assistance with paying my bills. I start my new job in 3 weeks, but I have Rent that is past due, bills, and food that I won't be able to pay for. If someone so kind would be willing to help me so that I can be ok until I can get back on the right track. I lost my job, and fortunately I start a new one in 3 weeks, but until then I am broke. Thank you! Your a good person!

Hello. My name is Caleb. I'm 21 years old, have severe anxiety and depression, and my only income is SSI. On march 1st of this year (2011) I moved into my first apartment ever with 2 room-mates. As strange as it may sound, one of the room-mates was my own mother(Donna), the other was her abusive ex-girlfriend(Shaw). I signed as the head of household and shaw and my mom were put downa "Household members" on the lease.

Before all 3 of us had moved into this residence the 3 of us had made an agreement that all the expenses would be split into thirds, there was one exception to this agreement however. My mother was not making enough income at the time to fully cover her third, so her ex girlfriend, shaw agreed to pay my mom's third temporarily until my mom could get a job that would supply her with enough income to do so. There were no misunderstandings, all 3 of us had understood the agreement BEFORE moving in.

That first month that we moved in, I ended up splitting HALF the expenses with shaw. This means I paid for my third PLUS half of my mom's third. Shaw had done so also... This was not what had been agreed to however. In fact, I don't know why I ever even let it slip by me. I must have not been thinking straight just because I was stressed out and desperately just wanted to get into the apartment.

The next month (April) I pointed out the mistake to both shaw and my mother, and told them that while I'm willing to let the first time slip, I wasn't willing to pay more than my share again.

The reaction shaw had wasn't good. She started making threats that if I didn't continue to pay the way I did the first month, that she would just leave, and that she just didn't give a dam. Oddly enough, my mom seemed to agree with her, and said she would leave with shaw also. Because I REALLY REALLY didn't want to get into the struggle at the time.. I just went along with it and paid for half the expenses again.. Shaw had basically said to me "So whats it gonna be, Either pay half, or we leave and you deal with the apartment on your own. We don't need to stay here. We can find somewhere else"...She said it in a very rude, obnoxious, loud tone of voice.

Eventually...May came around, and on the morning of the first day of the month I immediately brought the issue up again to mom and shaw.. and again, the same threats were made...and ALSO again...I paid half the expenses out of pressure.

In the middle of may I had found out some information that I thought would have been beneficial to me. I had found out that shaw had an arrest warrant on her for assault and battery. The reason I found this beneficial, was because of the fact that I wasn't able to take neither shaw or my mom off the lease, so If I wanted to kick shaw out. I could simply make a phone call to the police and they would take her out of there...Just as a note that I should have mentioned earlier... Shaw has a huge history of drug abuse, and violence.. and she had abused my mother a lot during there time together. That was probably how the warrant resulted.

Anyways, back on topic... In the middle of the night on may 18th, I told my mother that I wanted to speak to her in private. We went out to her car, and I told my mother that I'm completely fine with her(my mom) staying, but if shaw did not do her part, and pay the extra third like she agreed to when she moved in, I was gonna have her(shaw) removed from the residence.

My mom immediately went into a panic... She rushed back into the house to tell shaw everything that I had just told her... I went back into the house also... Later that night, they packed up most of there things (They didn't have much there) and bolted off...never returning...leaving me with ALL the expenses.

Remember, I only get SSI for income. To be more specific, $704.00 per month. The rent was 730.00, let alone other bills such as electricity, gas, and my own personal bills such as my cellphone, etc. There was no way I could pay the rent.

So as time went on... all the eviction stuff happened. I got the 14 day notice to pay rent or quit, then the letter with their intention to take me to court, then the actual offical court letter with the court date on it. On the court document..only my name was listed as a tenant..as if my mother and shaw were not on the lease, even though they were. All the blame was put onto me by these selfish real estate property owners.

ONLY I was taken to court. And from there I was told that they would give me 14 days to find another place and then after that if I was not gone a sheriff would come to the residence to physically remove me and all my belongings...

I rushed to find a place to stay...it was very difficult and distressing, but fortunately one of my friends has been willing to let me stay with them...I had to pay somebody $40.00 just to help me move my stuff to a storage facility.....

As the current situation stands... I am homeless. Still trying very hard to get a place, but cannot find a place that I can afford with my income. There have been some studio apartments for around $500.00 per month, but most of them require first, second, and last months rent to move in...

This is not the first time in my life that my mom has betrayed me.. She had left me, my brother, and my dad when I was six years old too.. She was not a part of raising me for most of my life. Then I decided I want to disregard the past,and get to know her for the person she is now, and let her redeem herself. This is what she did with that opportunity.

It was stressful and agonizing to even type all this up...because there are so many details involved... and my mind is tired..I'm very stressed physically and mentally.

I really need help. My money is just being drained and leeched from me. And staying at my friend's house has been very uncomfortable. I cannot do it much longer

ANY AMOUNT that you can donate I will be HIGHLY grateful and appreciative of. Even if everybody would just donate 1 dollar! A dollar bill in huge numbers is a lot of money.

Whatever you can give is appreciated...and helps me greatly...

I met my wife in October of 2001 at a Mexican restaurant when we both lived in Mesa, Arizona. It was love at first sight; I knew she was the only one for me. And I was bold enough to ask her to marry me just 6 hours after we met. She is my cheerleader and keeps me going, even on my worse days. She persists until she can make me laugh. We were married March of 2003 and have been together everyday since. We volunteered in pet rescue adopts, Pat Tillman walks, Cancer and Alzheimer walks. Like most people in these times of struggle, have lost our jobs and place to live while in Arizona. We took a few belongings packed into boxes and our 2 cats. We spent our last dime to drive back to Michigan and be with family.

The plan was to live with my wife's parents, while we rebuild our finances and get out on our own again. However, that plan crashed and burned within one week of being there. The step-father decided he changed his mind about the whole thing and asked us to leave. Fortunately, my sister and her husband also lived in Michigan and took us in. It was to be for a short term as they are also struggling, but is close to becoming a year. Also during this time our car was repossessed, we picked up an almost 20 year old car cheap. My wife was lucky and was able to find a temporary work program right away and that will last until spring of 2012.

I was not so lucky; I applied to every company in a 60 mile radius. I have went between several temp jobs and no work for the last 9 months, while waiting for full-time work. Finally in August, I landed a full-time job 60 miles from home; this of course is hard on the used car we picked up and draining all our funds on gas money. We have now been told that we have to move out by November 1st of this year. The problem is that we have spent any money coming in on gas for the car to get us back to forth to work and what little is left over on food we contribute to the house.

We have been approved on an apartment very close to my job and still 25 miles to my wife's job. It is $1,200.00 just for the apartment, we also need to rent a small truck and get the boxes up north from storage and connect utilities and buy some food. We anticipate this costing us $3,000.00 to complete the goal. If we save hard and only spend money on gas and car insurance and no food we may have a 1/3 of what we need by Nov. 1st. We would still need to get a bed, couch, and table and 2 chairs to eat our meals at. That will come in time as long as we are together, I don’t care if we sleep on the floor. We have never been in need before and have prolonged asking for help. I just do not see another way and I am asking for help now. Please help us in getting the funds to move on with our lives. I am sure that once we are, things will continue to get better.

I thank you for your time in reading this. Whatever funds you can afford to donate will be forever appreciated.

I'm italian, my english is so bad, but I can try to explain. I'm a boy very shy, because I have a great problem, I have gynecomastia, I need only 5.000 euro for pay the operation, but all times I had in my life for wake up from my problem, I had to help someone else, the first time my colombian uncle, the second time my brother for his debts. Now I'm always sad and wihtout happyness, I've tried to be happy but I can't exit from my home, fortunately I have an home work but I have to pay the rent home and the food so I can't pay this operation. I know if I can do this operation I will be the most happy people in the world. Please, help me, I can't live more in this situation

Hello. :) I am starting college in the fall. Fortunately, my tuition is covered, but I can't afford my books. Anyone who has been to college probably knows that books can be up to $1,000 per year.

I am going to become an English teacher. I enjoy writing, and teaching has always been a dream of mine.

Any help at all, even a $1 donation, would help me more than you could ever imagine.

Thank you very much!

She was a nationally certified paralegal and he was an IT Admin for a fortune 500 company. One day in early 2008, Carolyn had a seizure at work and was takin to the emergency room. They called Don at work and he went straight there. They were informed that she had a gioblastoma, a brain tumor. Don lost his job in mid-2008; he suspects it was because of the mounting healthcare costs his employer was incurring because of his wife's illness. They had to use their modest retirement savings to maintain medical coverage that soon ran out but fortunately Carolyn recovered. Fast forward 2 years. After undergoing surgery, radiation and chemo, Carolyn is now doing well. Although she can't work anymore, she collects a small SS disability claim. Don does odd jobs fixing computers and making handmade jewelry, which he sells at the local flea market.
I know this because Carolyn called me crying. I thought long and hard before posting this, but I had to. Carolyn and Don are my parents.
Please,please help them, even if its a small amount.
Thank You.

Ever since hitting my early 20's, I have been on a terrifying rollercoaster ride, all within my own mind. After moving out, maintaining a steady job and relatively good physical and overall well being, I began to hear voices which only spoke to me, feeling rampant and unjustifiable paranoia, and uncharacteristic aggression, mostly brought on by the inability to sleep. After seeing a few different psychiatrists, I was officially diagnosed with schizophrenia, and began a regimen of taking 3 types of medication to treat it at different times daily. Fortunately, the medication I was prescribed has been well-received by my body, but, needless to say, three different types of medicine for such a condition are quite expensive, especially since I get them in bi-monthly or tri-monthly increments due to the need to take them every single day.
Since the diagnosis and through this long, strange trip, I lost my home and career, was institutionalized on two occasions, mutilated myself several times, suffered seizures when unable to pay for my medication, and have had several friends and love interests wash their hands of me, either out of dread or the social stigma associated with my condition.
Of course, I realize everyone has problems and financial worries are a large stress factor in many people's lives, however, I value my mental health foremost of my personal concerns, and would be grateful to anyone willing to help me as I continue my battle with this demon, which hopefully I can defeat and get back to living as a normal, functional person.
Thank you for reading, any help, and God bless.

This is probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do but my circumstances dictate that I must do something. I find myself in a horrible bind and short of panhandling on the street I thought I’d give this a try.

So here is my story, on February 16, 2010 I suffered a heart attack while shoveling snow in my driveway. This was truly a traumatic experience because my son and daughter were with me when this happened. As a result of the heart attack I was forced to take a leave of absence from my job. I thought I would be off for a short time but that is not what happened.

I had the angioplasty procedure and then developed an infection at the site of the procedure which required some additional surgery to drain the infected area. This required another stay in the hospital for three days in May, Which in turn required more time off from work. Then, In June i developed a problem with my blood pressure which required another stay in the hospital.

After that stay my company fired me saying that they could no longer hold my position. As if that wasn’t bad enough they then refused to give me any unemployment stating that I had quit, because I had failed to submit a form. I realize that it was my responsibility to submit the form but in my defense I was dealing with some serious health issue and it just slipped through the cracks.

I was still under doctor’s care but I did not prevail in the attempt to get any benefits. So I began to live off my savings and going to my cardiac rehab. Then in October just after being released from doctor’s care I suffered a mild stroke. Which left me not only physically down but mentally depressed I spent 27 days in the hospital and have exhausted all of my savings.

I have now lost my home and the engine in my car blew out. Fortunately I have been able to receive VA benefits for my health issues which has been a huge help. But now I find myself in need of funds to get back on my feet. I need $5,000.00 to get my car fixed and to tide me over while I look for a job. I now live in the basement of my mother home and am desperate to get back on my feet.

I have donated plasma in order to give my kids some sibilance of Christmas, but I need help to move forward. This so embracing but I am at the end of my rope and don’t know what else to do, so anything you could donate I would be ever so grateful.

Thank you,

I go to a local college full time and i am currently on break having finished the first semester. The second will be starting real soon. Im excited about college because I see a bright and promising future for me and my 9 year old sister. We currently live with my cousin who provides us a place to stay. My parents are out of the country. I have been like a mother to my sister. This Christmas was worst then the last because I'm laid off after working as a counselor at a children after school program at a community center. I have tried so hard to find a job but it seems impossible especially having little experience. As I continue to look for work handing my resume to about everyone i find myself crying at night. My cellphone has been cut off for 2 months now. I usually send my mom money but i have none to do so. I can not even give my cousin my part of the rent. I had to sell some old college textbooks just to buy my sister a coat for Christmas when she really wanted a toy. I have been wanting and needing a car but that's just another dream that will have to wait years. As the snow piles up this winter and as I sit here on this laptop which i could fortunately afford with my past financial aid check, i am in 3 sweaters and a blanket while my sister sleeps beside me in the freezing apartment. the landlord says he will fix the heat, im hoping it is soon because it is too cold I can not get anything done. There is barely any food in the fridge because i usually buy groceries for me and my sister. my cousin can not provide for us because she is a single mom of 2 and has her own bills. I have a few overdue bills myself. I really do not want to get into debt. I hope someone out there can find it in their beautiful soul to help me and my sister get through this. I promise i am studying hard to get out of the misery....but the process is a long struggle for a girl like me.
