Frustrated Tags

I have been saving money $50 at a time for ten months in an effort to build some emergency funds. I was able to save $2000.00. It took me 20 months. I finally had enough to file bankruptcy and make a new start. Last Wednesday I lost the envelope containing the cash. I don't know whether I lost it or if it was stolen- but when I got to my attorney's office it was gone. I am heartbroken!!! I work almost 60 hours a week- I don't spend frivolously- I just can't make ends meet!!! I am so frustrated and feel like I am at the end of my rope. I have a son who I can't get tutoring or braces or even afford insurance for him so he can learn to drive. I feel like a failure! I don't want or need a million dollars, I need $2,000.00. Any help will be appreciated. God Bless those who read this and help!!!

What do you say when you are entreating an entire world of strangers to come to your aid? How do you sound deserving of their help? How do you express, without writing a novel, why you are in need, how you came to be there, how you came to choose this way of seeking help, and how very afraid you feel.
First, the reason I chose this method. I was feeling frustrated one night after being asked to work another fund raiser. While there is no doubt that the family is very much in need their financial security was markedly better than my own. I was wondering why it seemed that it was always people who already had some means at their disposal who got that kind of sympathy and help. Obviously I was feeling self centered but still the thought remained, what kind of resources were there out there for people like me, people barely above poverty level and struggling to keep from going under. So...I started searching the internet and came across references to "begging" online. I was shocked, I was appalled...I was hopeful. The anonymity of it was a big plus.
Feeling so hopeless, and out of control is very frightening for me. I work with the public. The street people call me Smiley because I try to always stay upbeat while at work and they know that if I can I will always help them with a dollar or two when they need it. There are many people ( even those who are only a few years younger than my 55) who call me Mom and have come to me for assistance both emotionally and financially. I have two adult children of my own and many more that have come through my household and are a part of my family even though they are not related biologically. I send my own Mother money a couple times a month. She lives on a fixed income that doesn't even cover here cost of living. I can no longer afford these things but I don't know how to cut off the aid to others even though I, myself, am in need of aid.
My husband and I come from poor families and were determined to make a better life for our own children. Since we both only had high school educations neither one of us are in well paying jobs but we have always managed to survive and our children never had to worry about whether Mom and Dad were going to be able to feed and clothe them. But things have gotten progressively worse this year.
I tried to start a small business in order to provide my oldest grandchildren and one of my children with a secure job and something meaningful to do. Trying to keep them out of the "system" and teach them to have self respect, and trying to provide a means for them to have financial security. But the business never picked up and we were funneling money into it...my daughter lost her husband and we were also supporting her household. The financial strain has put us in debt that we cannot pay. Our cars have broken down, there are three running vehicles for six drivers to use getting to work and looking for work but no money to repair or replace them. My daughter and her children are living in my home, having lost theirs, and my husband and I are staying with my youngest and her family. Her husband was recently laid off and she is expecting her second child. My husband had to have surgery and that put him off work for six weeks, and now in order to keep his job we have to somehow pay for hearing aids ($3000 for the least expensive ones). Although it is hard we have stuck together and are helping each other as best we can.
The problem is that I see no end in sight. Just the electric bill is $6oo a month thru the winter months. Fuel is outrageous. Food for this many people (5 adults, 3 late teens, and 3 small children) is very expensive in this state. Mortgage payments, gas for cars, and phones...these are things everyone has to pay. I know there are many who are far worse off than I, at least we still have roofs over our heads. But the output is so much higher than the income and each month, each WEEK, sees me feeling a little more desperate. How will I, will we, end up? Will we all be living on the street next year? The interior of Alaska is no climate for the homeless. I don't know what it will take to make this better, to make my family secure but I hope there is help out there for us.

Have you ever had one of those years? I am a Registered nurse who was injured on the job more than three years ago, I was on long term disability through the hosptial as they cannot fix the injury and I have permanent restrictions placed upon my license and cannot lift more than 10 lbs no one not even a physcians office will hire me, I found a job six months ago and started working again and as of last week found out they are closing the company on Monday, my husbands truck broke down and we had just started getting things taken care of now my landlord is upset because we are a week late on rent and we are trying to buy the house on contract. She is threatening to take us to court over not paying the rent on time. My husband and I always try to help those in need and could really use the help now we have three children 17-10 and I know I do not have a really sad story to tell but I am just a frustrated nurse who needs a little help to get back on her feet. It took two years to find the first job after injury Lord only knows how long it will take to find another one..... Please help if you can and God Bless those all in need.

Vinnie is nearly 5 years old. He has fragile X syndrome a genetic disorder that presents like autism but is far far worse with retardation. He is trapped in his own body unable to communicate with us and gets so frustrated he bites his hands, they are scarred and bleed alot.

My sister and I (who have the fragile x gene and are affected in ways other than mentally) desperately want and need to go to the Fragile X International conference in Miami in July this year. But we live in New Zealand and it is going to cost about 16 grand to get there. They are doing workshops on the latest techniques to get through to kids like Vinnie.

Our mother has dementia and this will be the last time my sister will be able to leave her as she deteriorates, I have custody of my disabled sister and this year have someone who will look after her while I am gone... We so need to understand this horrible disorder that has so changed our lives.

We will be among only a handful of people from our country going and we will be teaching other families who are dealing with Fragile X the methods we learn when we return.

Please help us, we are fundraising as much as we can and selling off everything that we can but it is not enough as all our money goes to helping Vinnie and mum and my sister.

Thanks for reading this

My babygirl(3 yrs old) wants to go to DisneyWorld and I'm unemployed. I been out of work for 2 months already, the longest ever. This is new to me and just found out about cyberbegging TODAY! Still feel a little funny about doing it, but when you behind on your rent, utilities, and debt you start considering whatever. I tried all the online business, but right now, things need to get paid. I am currently looking for work and havn't stop, even though I'm very frustrated. I'm not asking for much and I appreciate anything anyone have to give. As much as I want to take My "Mooca" to DisneyWorld, daddy have to get back on track 1st.

well, IF they approve it, have to survive for 2 years of processing to find out if I even get it!


Hi, and thank you for reading my plea :)

Last year I was declared permanently disabled by my doctor. ( I was on short term disability before that at work but they cut me off at 4 months instead of the year my seniority had earned). This sudden cutoff started my financial downfall into a spin. My job didn't "fire" me or "let me go", they just kept me active (out for medical issues), until I was no longer able to qualify for unemployment. If I had quit, then I would not have received any medical benefits any longer! In the mean time, I started the Social Security process, (which also does not allow unemployment claims) well. it takes 2 years to even see a judge, but somehow I am supposed to survive with no income until then! Ahhh but you are not allowed to work because then the judge feels you shouldn't be filing....( I mean, I am willing to lick stamps or something!) but strangely enough - I would be allowed (if doctor permitted something) AFTER I am approved, up to a certain amount of money. Whacked, right? So, here I am. I am supposed to see the doctor at least once a month for court purposes, but they don't really say how you are supposed to be able to afford to see him, if you can't have any income! My family has been so awesome helping me the best they can, but my parents are in a fixed income and elderly...my sisters have full families and their own struggles. I am so frustrated, I am not used to feeling like I can't take care of myself! I am sure you realize what kind of financial things I need help with..basic living. I am allowed to have food stamps - so thank goodness for that. I need assistance please with things like electricity, water, garbage, doctor, medication and gas for my car occasionally to get to the Dr...I do not have TV (about 1 1/2 years now) as it is a luxury, my parents offered to pay for my internet connection, which I am extremely grateful for...this is how I am able to post to all of you. I feel so weird posting this, and yes it is a bit humiliating. But I cannot stand to see my family go down the tubes because of what happened to me! Please consider helping me in anyway that you can. I have always helped others my entire life and I promise i will continue to do so as I can, can't help it - it is in my bones! LOL

I'm embarrassed to even ask to be honest...my car went to complete crap, my husband recently left me for someone else, it is winter time, have been begging for rides to work. I would be happy to walk if it weren't cold, snowy, and it's not good to have my twins out in that. All I am asking for is 200 people, to each donate 20 dollars, so I can get us a decent car. I'm so stressed and frustrated, I'm a good person, I just wish I knew what I did to deserve all of this mess in my life.

me and my family are going through financial hardship. And we hope someone out there can help us. my father is the only one who works everyday just to pay bills and all that is left is 20 dollars to spend on food. Sometimes i pretend im not hungry so that he could eat more. i want to help out, but no one is hiring or everyone needs an expert.. a two year of experience as a waitress...seriously whats next a degree to be a waitress...it gets me frustrated...my brother will go to college soon. we don't have financial aid, my father pays with his own sweat for us to get an education. i fear that our situation will be worse, since now the tuition was raised and it will be hard for me to go to college for spring. I don't know how to beg for help, we had never been in this crisis before.
we always lived a stable life, but now things are getting worse and worse. please if there is someone out there that could give a little help, God bless you. Me and my family would be always be thankful.

We are a family in crisis in so many ways it's hard to know where to begin. My husband was hurt on the job over ten years ago, and recieves no compensation or medical help. Our daughter was a passenger in a rollover wreck this summer and we now have over $50,000. in medical bills. Our other daughter was bitten by a deer tick and has second stage Lyme disease. The medical bills are mounting. We are uninsured, because we are married. We were told if we divorce, our kids can get medical care from the state! We won't do that, of course, but it makes us sad and frustrated that so much in on us, and we can't get help because we are married. Right now we are behind in every area possible...rent, about to lose our car, driving with no auto insurance, need winter coats, you name it, we need it. We're just an average family, with unusual problems. If you can help us we would appreciate it so much. We have been known to help others when times were better for us, and it never occurred to us that we would need someone else now. Thank you.

im a 20year old female.ive been doing all i can to make the most out of my life. im tired and depressed and exhausted. i didnt finish my highschool education even though i should have pushed my self. but i never had any support from anyone. my parents divorced and my father was never around during my infancy. my sisters failed at there lifes as well. one raped and left pregnant at 16 and my other had drug problems and was literally at deaths doorstep at least twice as a teen.i haven't seen her in over 6 years. i experienced everything they went though and our family struggled so much. my mother was never around she only cared for her well being.left the family to find a man with money at one point to come back as a broken down women with no dignity. i dropped out of highschool at 12th grade and have been trying to get my ged but with how much it has been going up in cost its really hard to afford. i work two cities away with minimum waged job and live in a shitty apartment taking care of my brother and mother. barely make ends meat and im just frustrated with my how hard things have become. i want to higher my education to at least get a decent job that would improve my self esteem and also to give my brother the life he deserves. the life my parents never gave me. he is still young and doesn't understand most of whats going on.the worst part about the ged is that i live so far from the testing facilities so i try my hardest to find a center but transportation is a pain when most places are far away and i always have to take care of my brother whenever he is not in school. i need a car and just this test so i can at least have one chance to make things well, at for just this once i want to be able to not feel like an incompetent miserable fool.

My name is Julie. I am writing in hopes of finding some help for my current financial situation. I sincerely hope that this is real and that someone can offer some help soon. I really do need some help and I am searching for some alternatives. I have applied for gov’t. help but have not found any hope so far.

I am currently unemployed and not quite sure what to do about it. Although I am looking for work I am not finding what I need. I truly believe that if I could just find a way to make it till the end of Oct, I can make things work out and be back on my feet financially.

I never felt like I needed a glamorous lifestyle, but I do need to survive. My youngest daughter is still living with me and my granddaughter (Rebecca) recently moved in also. She is ten and needed to get out of a negative environment. I am trying to help them, but the situation is taking a toll on my ability to keep up and accomplish what needs to be done.

Rebecca’s mom, my oldest daughter, was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP) at birth. Although she overcame many of the common symptoms of CP, her condition has deteriorated since she entered her twenties. Rebecca’s dad, we recently discovered, has long since suffered from severe mental illnesses. He was recently admitted to a psychiatric ward and later moved into long-term nursing care. Because of my daughters’ mental and physical handicaps she is not able to properly care for Rebecca by herself.

I was this family’s greatest advocate to keeping them together as a family unit and I hate that things have worked out the way they have. But I believe I am only beginning to understand the depth of the problems this way of life has had on Rebecca and how much she needs me.

She is a very smart 10 years old, but exhibits behaviors associated with mental disease. She has been labeled learning delayed and I am frustrated that her delay is caused by the learned behaviors of her parents and not because of her intelligence or ability to learn.

Although Rebecca is in a much better place now, I am struggling to make it financially. I have been working on some projects and am hopeful that with a bit more time, they will work out. Right now I am in danger of loosing our apartment and not having a place to live, as I have not been able to come up with all of the money for rent for September yet. I still need 425.00 for Sept rent, and 242.00 for the past due on the light bill. I have not given up and am continuing to find ways to make it all work out.

I figured up what I need to catch up the necessary bills and expenses through the end of October. I need to come up with $2,215 to make it to the end of October. I sincerely believe that I will be able to get things back on track by Nov, if there is any way I can find a way to catch up.

I feel that I should ask for what I need and be really grateful for any help that I receive. I have always tried to help others in their times of need and always encouraged the pay it forward process. I do hope that what goes around comes around for me this time.

You can contact me through email at jklmiester@gmail.com

Thank you for taking the time to consider this information and request, It is so hard to get the whole point across in just one page, but I did not want to take up too much of your time. I truly hope you can help us out.

Sincerely,
Julie Miester

I am battling depression from the stress and I really don't know what to do anymore. I pretend everything is ok, it's so hard to let anyone know otherwise. I just smile and say I'm fine. Most people don't know I have a disease that could stop my heart at any moment, it affects 6000 in North America so it's pretty rare. I have no insurance so I can't see a Dr. I'm only 25 and have a daughter to take care of. I want to see her grow up. My husband works all day to make our house payment, we get our bills paid every month, sometimes late but they get paid. We usually have $10-$20 left every week to buy food and gas. I know everyone is struggling right now and it's so hard and the stress from it all is making my health problems so much worse. I don't know what to do anymore, I just sit and cry. I hate for my child to see my like this. I hate the constant fights over money. I've tried working from home but because of my condition I don't have the energy to do anything other than care for my child. I am beyond frustrated. Please if you can, please help us. I can't take my daughter to the Dr to get check-ups.. I can't take myself to the Dr to prevent this disease from killing me. Every day of my life I have prayed for the world and I just need someone to please pray for me, I'm running out of strength. Thank you & God Bless you all.

Where do I begin? Perhaps I'll begin by saying how awkward I feel writing this - it isn't everyday that I sit down in front of a computer and decide to plead for money online, but with things not going very well I decided to do it for my family. We've been in a downward spiral since the unexpected loss of my full-time job in the end of December 2010 (Happy New Year!!!!). I've been doing what I can to keep the family's head above water, but the rent / utilities are falling behind. I have been frantically searching for an employment solution to no avail - time (and what little we had in savings) has run out. I never in my life imagined being in a situation like this. Well, in the midst of this crisis, my wife and I continue to stand as pillars of strength for one another and for our 9-year-old son, but we're immersed in depths of uncertainty and anxiety. Thankfully, we still find ways to smile to escape the despair. We do hope for a positive result. Perhaps with your generosity, we can find one. I think of the many people who are in similar situations and are asking for help. I cross my fingers hoping that I am one whose request luckily finds you. Please imagine someone placing an hourglass in front of you - they say to you: by the time the sand runs out...that's it...it's over for you. Imagine how overwhelming the fear and anxiety becomes as the sand marks the passing of time - time you no longer have. This is exactly the way I have been feeling lately...ever since I lost my job in the end of December. I have been immersed in anxiety ever since. I search diligently every single day for work to get the family back on the right track - in this economy it seems it really is to no avail. My stress increases as I watch what little we have in savings is whittled down to almost nothing - we are now counting mere pennies. I got so angry and frustrated on my son's last day of school when my car (a 1996 Buick Century) decided it had nothing left to give. I break down crying with envy at times when I hear of someone who has been lucky enough to land a job...get a new car...or receive needed help from a Good Samaritan. With all of the personal stories this website gets on a daily basis, I doubt that mine will reach the right people or impact anyone. But...if by some miracle it does...I want to thank you in advance...from the deepest part of my heart!

At this point, I don't have much to offer. But, I can promise you this. I will pay your generosity forward. I believe very much in the power of giving. I once purchased a handful of groceries for a homeless man who stood on a street corner. I will always remember the look on his face when I approached and handed him a week's worth of food and asked for nothing in return.

Sincerely,
Charlie

Hi, I know there are probably lots of people these days that need financial help cause I am in that category. I need help with paying my rent and help with getting my car fixed. My husband and I Have been going through some tough times and we split up. So I moved with my sister and got a job. Well my husband and I got back together and I was suppose to be able to transfer from my job where I was living with my sister to the town where my husband live but they don't have the hours to spare right now. My husband and I are doing really good with the exception of me trying to find a job. He has a job but after he pays child support out of his check we don't have much money to pay any bills. That being said we are getting further and further behind on rent and our landlord is getting a little frustrated with us. We have two vehicles but mine there is something wrong with it and keeps dying on me among other issues with it. I can't drive my husbands truck cause it is a standard and I don't know how to drive it. He was going to show me how but he has trouble shifting it himself cause its hard to shift. We have been married for 10 years and we are doing better and want it to be even longer. We just can't seem to get out of the whole. Can someone help us Please. I am seriously begging for help. Thank you in advance.

3 years ago my husband divorced me,left me with my 7 year old son and two huge credit card debt,bills,and late car payment.Took what little savings we had in our bank account and left the country.2 months after the divorce my son and I had to move out of our house because I could not pay the $900 rent plus bills and within a year lost our car as well.I have been working 2 jobs for almost 3 years to keep up with the rent,bills,debt collections and haven't had a break.I work from 7am til 7pm in a cleaners and from 8pm til 1am at a local 24hour restaurant.I only see my son half a day on Sunday and I miss him so much.I'm lucky to have my mom help me with my son but I feel so alone and frustrated with my life.Like many others on here I never thought I would be asking for money or let alone tell so many people out there what I'm going through.I haven't had a nights sleep always thinking about whats next and if I will have enough to make ends meet.I'm asking for a helping hand,for someone kindhearted to hear my money problems.I have a huge need for money and work so hard but seems like it is not enough.I'm finally tired and don't think I can make it anymore.Please,I beg from the bottom of my heart for anyone to help me out with just a bit of money.I don't have the strength to keep working like this any longer but I will work even harder as long as I need to.I'm only 29 years old and feel like my life is already over.I find the strength to keep fighting in my son because I want to give him the best future I can and because I don't like to owe anyone money.Please,help me!!Thank you for taking a few minutes of your time and reading what little I could share with you.I do not have a computer,internet,or a home phone so I will be coming to the public library once a week,Please,feel free to ask whatever you like and contact me with any questions you may have for me.Thank you!!

I am 32 years old. I moved to the city I live in about 6 years ago, and have constantly been struggling. I actually am one of the most generous people I know, which is part of the reason I am in the mess I am in. After an abusive relationship ended, I was left in a house by myself. I ended up getting some roommates, who in the long run, ran me dry. When the people who lived with me wouldn't pay their portion of the rent or bills, I had to pay it. One of my roomates didn't have a job for 8 months, and I was the only person working in my house, and trying to pay his portion of the bills, as well as my own. I supported many of my friends when they were in need of help, only to find that many of them, sponged off of me for as long as they could, and left me in lots of debt. To make matters worse, I ended up having a huge water leak in my house, which ran my water bill up to close to $3000 dollars ( yes, three THOUSAND dollars) I have no family that I can ask for help, and all I really want, is to be able to pay my bills, and live...not worry about food, not worry about getting evicted because my rent behind. It has gotten to the point where I am so broke, all I really can eat is ramen. I am incredibly stressed out all the time...what little money I have has gone to pay all these bills that are behind, not because I wasnt supporting myself, but because time and time again I tried to help other people, and they let me down. I am frustrated, tired and need help so badly...and I dont know where to turn. The fact of the matter is, I need help or I will literally become homeless. I dont have any family to turn to, so I dont even know where I could go. I am gonna be honest, I feel so lame, trying to beg people to help me online who dont even know me...but I really just dont know what else to do. I am a good person, who has had so much bad luck - especially over the past year and a half....I just dont know what else to do about it. If anyone sees this, and wants to help me out, with anything, I would be forever greatful.

I was homeless and somehow made it a 50,000 dollar a year institution on a a scholarship, however the one thing the scholarship did not include was cost of books and miscellaneous expenses.

Please help me with my rags to SOMETHING story. I find myself getting so frustrated when I see people receiving packages and monetary help from their well to do family while I stand idly by.

I have tried to find work but it is really difficult to get around here with a car. I dorm room is empty except for books and a few things given to me from friends.

I promise if given the chance in the future I will use my success to foster the success of other students who need extra help to survive college.

I have never asked for anything before and for myself I wouldn't but for my 3 kids I am. Saturday I place my fiance in jail for domestic violence he was beyond drunk and was angry and frustrated about our financial situation. Although he is the bread winner of the house we are still struggling like most people today. I lost my job but was able to secure a part time job being a hostess but lets be honest 8.00/hr and 10-15 hr per week only really pays the gas. But I took it anyway something is better than nothing. My now ex-fiance not only lost me because I am a firm beliver of not sticking around to see if it happens again no matter of how long we have been together not only for my safety but for my kids, but I have now lost my way to pay rent for next month so I am trying to be pro active and sell what I can to come up with $1375.00. I am doing what I can aside from going to a strip clup and degrading myself. But it is what it is and I will do everything I have to to make sure my kids have a home to live in. If you can find it in your heart to help please do. Every little bit helps. Thank you for reading

I lost my job but was able to secure a part time job being a hostess but lets be honest 8.00/hr and 10-15 hr per week only really pays the gas. But I took it anyway something is better than nothing. My now ex-fiance not only lost me because I am a firm beliver of not sticking around to see if it happens again no matter of how long we have been together not only for my safety but for my kids, but I have now lost my way to pay rent for next month so I am trying to be pro active and sell what I can to come up with $1375.00. I am doing what I can aside from going to a strip clup and degrading myself. But it is what it is and I will do everything I have to to make sure my kids have a home to live in. If you can find it in your heart to help please do. Every little bit helps. Thank you for reading

My name is Barbara and I only receive $140 a month from welfare since my unemployment benefits ran out in March of 2010. I have nothing left. I have a year left before I obtain a bachelor's degree and I am diligently looking for work, daily. I have a son who is in college and also unemployed, we are accruing massive debt but don't know what else to do to get a job. We have no food, no pet food, and our computer is on its last leg. We need clothes, I don't have decent shoes or clothes to go to an interview. We are out of toitlet tissue, toothpaste, soap, shampoo and laundry detergent. I don't know what to do, no one seems to care. The food banks are out of food and the ones that do have it, have very little. We have been eating oodles of noodles for weeks and I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and shouldn't be eating this but it is all that I can afford. Please someone help us, I can't even afford to pay for paypal to receive a donation. However my email address is babbcarney@yahoo.com Please someone hear my cries for help!! I am afraid for my family and pets. I have worked all of my life and I want to work again, now!!! I am frustrated and worried all of the time. Mine and my son's quality of life is gone yet we still keep trying by furthering our education but we need jobs. Until then we need someone to help us, if they would find some compassion in their hearts. I don't like to do this but I have resorted to this as the last option. Please help in any way would help, it does not have to be cash. It could be food, clothes, pet food, computer, shoes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc. We have lost our pride and dignity and have resorted to begging. I am crying as I type. Please someone help us!!! When I work again, I will do as much as I can to repay you. Please don't turn away from us, we need you! Is anyone out there that might have it in their heart to help in any way? Anything would be greatly appreciated...from the bottom of my heart. If you email me, I can send my address or phone number. I have a government issued cell phone with limited minutes available, so if you could email me first it would be great! Thanks to all who might even consider helping me and my family, at least one time.

Hello. I am in need of some help. I am a working mother of two, and have gotten behind on my mortgage. It seems that it just keeps getting worse and worse. The mortgage company was supposed to be helping me get back on track by cutting my payments in half for three months and then were supposed to modify the terms of my loan to possibly lower my monthly payments. However, after three months they said that I don't qualify for that arrangement and now want all of the money. I don't have it. I am disappointed and frustrated. At this point, I would just like to be squared away with the mortgage company and begin the new year off with my regular payments. I am at a loss. I love my home and don't want to lose it. I work hard...I actually have a pretty decent job. I don't know where to turn...hence, the reason I have found this site. I would sell anything in my home to make the money, but don't know what I have that would make any money. We live pretty modestly. If anyone could help, my family would very much appreciate it. To get caught up for the year it looks like I owe 2,359 plus late fees. Anything would help. I appreciate everyones time reading this. Thank you.
