HELP!!!

Posted by please_help_me_now2012 on 2012-05-17 13:58:16

Hello,

I have never begged for money or help and to be completely honest I hate that I am sitting writing this now, I am normally the kind of person that just gets on and deals with a situation.

I have slipped into a seriously bad financial situation, I lost my job and have got myself into a cycle of payday loans I just cant control the situation anymore. I really need help and quickly.

I am becoming very depressed and have pretty much sold every thing I own to try and raise extra money, it is effecting my relationship and my family are starting to become effected too.

I need around $1000, this is to cover fuel and car expenses so I can get out and work when I can also hunt for a job as well as general living, any money I do get is given straight to payday lenders.

Any help at all will be massively appreciated, I know there are a lot of people in the world who have the means to help, although I am not expecting any donations I am desperate and you know what they say about desperate times.

I have not had new clothes in over a year, I don't socialize or go out anywhere, I just want my life back.


Thank you very much for taking the time to read my my story.

anything will help

Please help with any amount you can afford please we are extremely short on food and fuel and we are behind on our utilities so like I said any amount will greatly help us

braces for my daughter

Posted by endurance on 2012-05-12 16:58:30

Hello, I would like to know if there is someone out there who could help me out. I make about $1400., net, each month. That income gets used up quite quickly on food, fuel, utilities, rent, and bills. Not much leftover to buy clothes or other small luxuries, such as make-up, or work shoes, etc.

It took me a very long time to do this, but I thought if I were in a position to help someone out, I would want to donate to someone like me. I'm a hard worker that doesn't make enough money to support me and my daughter, and my husband who can't find work.

We've been broke for several years and I can't allow my daughter to go without these much needed braces. The payment take a large bite out of my monthly income that I can't buy miscellaneous items we need.

I don't live in a home, either. I live in a R.V. But, I'm only asking for help paying for the braces.

I thank you for reading this post. I pray for continued blessings to you, and for me and my family.

Hardworking college student trying to get by

Posted by Danleverett on 2012-05-12 13:58:12

Hello everyone
My name is Daniel, and I recently decided it was time for me to go back to college and get a good job. I have worked construction my wole life, but now I am pursuing a career in communications. Ei started college with next to nothing saved up and a full time job to help with the bills. I realized it wasn't going to be enough so I started looking for online ways to make money. I sold almost everything I own on eBay and realized I was still short. So I discovered online surveys. For those of you that have never done online surveys for money, don't. Every site promised to make me money and the only outcome was my old email address had to be shut down because I was receiving thousands of emails per week. I hope someone out there understands that times get tough. I spend 400 dollars a month on rent, 150 roughly for gas and electricity, the rest goes to cover fuel, my insurance, phone payment, and sometimes when there is something left I eat. If I wasn't a cook at a restaurant I would not eat at all. I'm tired of struggling all the time and if I could just get a little help now I know I can turn the corner. When I finally start my career I will donate money to people in need just like me, because I know what it's like to struggle and want. I'm only asking for enough to get by. Anything at all helps and I really do appreciate it.

Extended Family In Need

Posted by Gladys on 2012-05-02 02:58:37

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.

need help asap

Posted by ChristianKev on 2012-03-30 07:58:46

Ok so here's my story. I recently moved down to Georgia from new York. my wife, 4 kids, and myself. I have been working through a day labor company since 2004. I make 50 dollars a day through these companies. I have an associates degree in medical assisting, however I can't look for a job in this field as I have to wake up at 4 in the morning and don't get home until 6 or 7 at night. Behind on bills because 50 dollars a day doesn't pay for anything but gas and food. I can drive anywhere from 20 to 40 miles a day to get to work. All of my stuff is still in new York. My van can't make the trip back to new York to get our stuff. I guess what I am asking for is 6000 dollars. That would get me in a fuel efficient car, get my bills caught up and give us somemoney to live on untilI can get a job as a medical assistant. Which shouldn't be long as I already have the schooling. Thank you and God bless.

Please Help...

Posted by Alovingdad on 2012-03-23 10:58:12

I'm really embarrassed to ask for money, but after discussing with my wife the last two days we decided that anything will help. We need help to get out of debt, the reason for the majority of the debt is mainly my son's school fees. Over the last 3yrs we have maxed out on 2 credit cards and 2 loans, including my wife's inheritance she got from her grandma. I went to the school before and tried to explain my predicament and they said that there is many people that struggle, they can only reduce payment by 10%, that is if the board agrees. Work is only prepared to lend me a small portion of that (meaning more debt), and they told me to declare myself insolvent! I have already cancelled my car and life insurances, and reduced my medical insurance. I mostly work 6 to 7 days a week @ 14hrs a day between 2 jobs.
I have recently started making bio fuel from used cooking oil to help reduce my fuel cost. I don't know what else to do, the bills just keep piling up!
All I can do now is ask...beg...for help, I don't even know if this will work.
I don't expect someone to make all my debt disappear, that be nice tho :). But I kindly ask if some people would not mind donating even as little as $1 anything extra would help.
And if you've read this far, thank you for reading my post, and taking time to try and help others. I hope and pray that some day someone can help you too.
Special Thanks,
A Loving Dad.
Update 28-02-2012 No donations yet :( Scammers galore. Will try and take extra on my mortage today, good luck all, holding thumbs...
Update 29-02-2012 nope, nothing yet...damn scammers, how they got my e-mail, dunno, but wanting to pay a donation claiming they are from legitimate companies, but have a yahoo email? Apparently the CEO, asking for me to pay a portion back to them...and and and...most ppl come here because they are desperate, and then among the debt collectors and lawyers you still have to deal with assholes like that too!

About to lose my job!

Posted by witsend72 on 2012-03-12 11:58:43

I'm a 40 year old married father of 2. Since the factory I worked at closed down 2 years ago the only work I've found is as a independent contractor for a delivery company. I don't make a lot of money at it and haven't been able to save any money keeping the bills paid. I have to provide my own van and fuel. Well that van has broken down. Transmission failed. My wife has taken a job in a gas station making minimal wage. I'm afraid that's not enough to pay the rent each month. I have no other options but to ask for help. I just need enough to get my van fixed or find a replacement soon. A bank loan is out of the question right now as we don't need anymore payments at the moment. I'm not asking for someone to just give us money without ever seeing it again. I intend on making some type of paypal payment back to whoever helps us out of this hard spot we are in. It make take some time but it's the least we can do. Thank you!

Help with travel to hospital

Posted by SwsMum on 2012-02-16 15:58:30

HI, I'm a married mum of two, and our family is going through a tough patch. My daughter has a rare neurological condition called Sturge Weber syndrome, which consists of a large Port Wine Birthmark covering two thirds of her face, scalp, and chest, learning difficulties, speech delay, potentially glaucoma in the future. Thankfully she has never had a full seizure that so many SWS children have daily. She started school this year, and we were successful in applying for a Support Teacher and Language Therapist to help her so she could attend mainstream school. When I say successful, I mean we fought all the way !!! This extra teaching she receives means she gets a lot of homework to keep up with the rest of the class, so I went part time at work, so I could pick her up from school, at spend the time concentrating on her homework, etc. so this had a significant effect on our finances. But my husbands business was doing Ok. He and another partner run a small metal work business, just the two of them. However, since October 2011, the work for them has dried up, and there has been several months where they've not had enough business to take home any pay. We also have to take out daughter to a hospital 300 miles away for her laser surgery for the Port Wine Birthmark. The surgery is to lighten the birthmark as much as possible. So far we have seen some good results but she still has some way to go. Unfortunately, these hospital trips cost us quite a bit, by the time we pay for the fuel, overnight stay in hotel and food, etc. If any can spare any amount of cash to help us through this incredibly tough period, I would be so grateful.
Thanks for taking time to read this post.
regards

In need of help

Posted by pixiedust on 2012-02-10 08:58:22

My husband and i have hit some hard times recently. We have been together for 7 years but only got married last august and we have 2 young children togetherFirst we got behind on rent which we have been trying so hard to pay back then my husband lost his car (which he needs to get to and from work) due not being able to make finace payments so we had to buy a cheaper car outright in cash which put us behind even further with household bills. We also have been wanting to move for a long while now because ideally we've been longing for a 3 bed house and so that my husband doesn't have to travel so far for work, therefore saving money on fuel. We started applying with local authority housing associations and hve now been offered a 3 bed house in an ideal location. The only problem is we have to move in two weeks and we have to give four weeks notice for leaving our current home and so rent will over lap for 2 weeks which is all we need with already owing rent we need to carpett it in most rooms (taking what carpet we can from current home) and now my husband has informed me that the MOT on his car is going to cast way more than expected. Any help at all would be greatly recieved

Urgently need help

Posted by vlsvls on 2012-02-04 09:58:39

My begging request is serious enough for me to google for help. I am hoping somebody out there will help us.

Our house is presently freezing and I am in dire need of temporary help to get some fuel to keep us warm as well as my precious lil dog. We ran out of fuel and because we have no money to pay the gas company in back fuel, we cannot get any propane. To add inujury to insult, we are also behind on our property and school taxes. We have a house in Michigan that we were renovating by the skin of our teeth so that we can sell it for money, but just yesterday, we received a certified letter with a tax foreclosure on it.The property taxes on that house is behind. We cannot afford to foreclose on this house as it is our ticket to some money to help us with this house. We owe the contractor money for the work he has presently completed. He is now threatened to put a mechanic lien on the house. As you can see, our dire situation needs help as soon as possible.

We got behind in all bills because we ran out of money. My significant other was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 with multiple surgeries and since then, we have been going downhill. Utilizing our savings, selling everything we can possibly see. We live month to month now from social security and disability checks. I have no place else to turn as my own family does not have any money to help me nor does my significant other. Every place we turn to for help with this issue is a dead end. His disability pays the mortgage. We are truly strapped right at the moment. Is there anything you can do to help us out on this very cold day and with our property taxes? I can pay back whatever money is loan because I have a law suit settlement pending for a car accident I was involved in which required my having surgery. I just don’t know where else to turn. Please help me? I am begging. (I can’t get a settlement load because I am on a contingency basis). Our credit scores are not the greatest and that prevents us from getting any type of a loan.

If there is any way underneath the sun someone can come forward and help us, it would be greatly appreciated OR please guide us to a source where we can obtain a loan with the way our credit now stands. I have a judgment (which just recently surfaced) and now I am starting to pay that off at $50.00 per month which is an additional bill I cannot afford.

We have proof of anything I mentioned above.This is not a scam email.

p.s. I have also reached out to the Warren Buffet family foundation for some help per an email I sent and response I received. We are not guaranteed that we will get the help since they receive thousands of letters for help every day.

Racing Sponsorship in the Pacific Northwest

Posted by racer-n-need on 2012-01-17 01:58:35

Sponsorship has been in integral part of racing for years.
Racing can get expensive. There are many items that need to be taken care of just to get out and race. You have to get a car, strip it completely, get it running (buy parts, tires, fuel) and even paint it! (someone has to paint the Sponsors name on the car). You have to store the car someplace when it is not in use, and you need a shop to work on the car. On race day, after you already paid the entry, you have to get the car to the race track, and bring it back home with you to prepare for the next race. You have to provide a scorer and crew, all of which is separate admission to the track, and feeding the crew and keeping fluids in them helps keep them on their toes to make any quick fixes! All of this, and all the time spent by all the team members add up, and most if it comes from our own pockets. Now go one step further and multiply this by about 36 races for the season, It adds up. That's why we need Sponsor Help.


Why Sponsor Us?
By Sponsoring us (or any other racing team), there are several benefits. A presence in racing business. Advertising before, during and after every race. The Car, Driver and/or Crew can schedule special appearances at your place of business for promotional purposes. You even get support from us, the team members and crew. When you sponsor us, you sponsor the team, and your visible pretty much the entire race! Lastly, When we win a race, YOU win a race!
Be a Sponsor!!
We offer several sponsor packages to suit various needs. They're not written in stone, so we can customize your package to suit your specific needs. We take our Sponsors seriously. Without you we can't make this happen!
Doesn't have to be Cash!
We have a many costs to cover.Parts, Tires, Gas, Tow, Entry Fees, Pit Crew Fees, License's, etc. or even just plain hard working talent. Whatever can be donated to helping the team counts!
Benifits of becoming involved in our race team as a sponsor.
We would be happy to display the race car at your place of business or any activity you may have such as a company picnic or special sales event.
And, of course, your company name or logo displayed on the side of the race car. Your company name will be exposed to as many as 1,500 race fans every week. These are local people that spend thier money locally.
We would accomodate any other special arrangements that a potential sponsor may require. Again, our agreement could be totaly negoitable in order to best serve the advertising needs of the sponsor.

Jobless at christmas eve

Posted by DeadnightWarrior on 2012-01-12 14:58:08

Hello everybody. I never thought I'd do this one day, but I'm willing to try.
I'm a 35 years old man living in Europe, who has just discovered that his job contract won't be renewed in 2012. As you may know, the financial situation in Europe is in deep crysis and my country (Italy) has just dramatically raised taxes, while prices are skyrocketing and incomes are lower than ever.
I live on my own and my mother just can't afford helping me forever. My father, unfortunately, passed away ten years ago.
With such a ridiculous notice from my company, I'm facing a whole lot of bills to be paid and no money to keep up with them. I have to pay rent, taxes, fuel and my car's repair. Additionally, I'm planning to take my ex company to court and sue them, but that takes a long time and quite a sum to be started.
All I'm asking for is a little help, anything you'd want to donate will be greatly appreciated.
Merry christmas, happy new year and thank you all.

PLEASE HELP THIS SINGLE MOM!!!!

Posted by lyn1980 on 2011-12-27 11:58:37

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!!!

Need to Move ASAP

Posted by tootiers on 2011-12-24 06:58:25

Merry Christmas everyone!!! PLEASE HELP, I am scared for my son and myself...

Need money for car repairs

Posted by Spyke on 2011-12-15 20:58:59

Help! We got hit by a drunk driver on dec. 02. The guy that hit us had a BAC of .246, and ran a red light. We got 2700 for our car from insurance. WE are trying to repair and rebuild our credit ruined because of student loans so we had no wish or extra income to finance. We wound up getting a 1994 Ford Taurus wagon. They put a new engine in it that's going to be done friday, but it's still a 17 year old car that will probably need repairs. WE are on a tight budget, and we would appreciate being able to build a rainy day fund for the car so that we don't have to worry when something will go wrong. We're fairly good at fixing most things. Our last car was a 1996 Taurus and we fixed the brakes, rotors and calipers, replaced the battery and terminal wires, spark plugs and wires, changed all fluids, repaired hoses, and we were about to replace the catalytic converter on our own when we got hit. Previous cars we've worked with have taught us how to replace tires, radiators, water pumps and fuel pumps. We plan to maintain our new car in a similar way so that we can keep it for a couple hundred thousand miles. It's not just about keeping costs down, it's about keeping a serviceable car on the road and out of crowded landfills. It's about a car that you love through a long relationship, a vehicle that you understand every quirk. It was that way with my '96, and I just know it will be that way with my '94 With a rainy day fund I would feel much more secure when it comes to fixing the inevitable problems that come with a comfortable old lady like a 1994 taurus LX wagon. She is getting a new engine so the head gasket issues of the second generation Taurus's 3.8L essex are going to be mitigated if not eliminated for at least the next 100,000 miles, but the tranny and AC especially, followed by suspension, electrics, brakes, steering, pumps (fuel and water), and of course the routine tires, oil, wipers, brake pads, etc. are all possible future repairs. All the fun of having a car that you can't lightly trade in. Parts usually run $80 average if it's anything like the '96 in terms of maintenence, ommiting outliers like tranny and AC. Any help you can give would be appreciated. I know I'm starting to sound like Ray Stantz talking about the pile of 1959 caddy that became the ghostmobile.

Oh and also, I'm up to suggestions as to what I am going to name this car. So far we've had a 97 dodge stratus named Pearl, a 1994 Buick LeSabre named Einhander, and our last car was a 96 Taurus named Wyrd (after the goddess of Fate). Yeah I picked the name after the first 2 listed died in the same month and we scrapped both for this one. Ultimately totalled in a wreck with a drunk driver was a fitting end for such a car with such a name, but it still makes me sad, that much AMERICAN BUILT and ENGINEERED chicago assembled car with the 3.0 L vulcan engine, cast of iron in the forges of Ohio and not a single leak despite topping 153k. Only 145 HP but it got the job done beautifully and dependably. You just don't get cars like that in the new millenium. *sigh* i will miss my 3rd gen taurus. Every day i see a dozen of them being driven bearing the characteristic curves and oval rear window. Anyway. . .a rainy day fund would go a long way towards helping me to learn to love her older sister. Right now I'm thinking of calling her Providence.

Posted by ChrisB on 2011-12-14 00:58:23

I would like to start out by saying, "this was/is my last resort". I never
looked down on others that ask for help because most of the time I was the
helper. However, now I am sitting behind this smoke screen in desperation. I
am a single mother of an 8 year old growing boy and currently working two
jobs to make ends meet. A few years ago I made a purchase on a vehicle that
was a big bad mistake and definetly a life lesson after reading Dave
Ramsey's book. My payment, fuel and insurance is 33% of my monthly income. I
am upside down in my payments along with trying to keep up with student

loans and other monthly expenses. I would be the first to admit I made a
dumb choice and I am trying to dig myself out of this deep financial hole. I
am not one to take without giving something in return. I will defenitely pay
it forward in some way to others by doing a good deed for someone else. It
saddens me to have to come to this but this is my cry out for help. Thank
you so much for taking time to read my message. Soldier iN Need of a little

Family in need.

Posted by ChrisB on 2011-12-14 00:58:22

I have never online begged before and I am trying it out as one of several
last resorts. I am a stay at home father of 4 children. A two year old, 3
year old, 5 year old and 12 year old. My wife works and I have to stay home
because someone needs to watch the kids. (if I worked I would make less then
the amount I would pay out in daycare) I would ask our family but they are
taped out and have already been giving us money for years now.


We make to much money for food stamps so if it was not for the Food Pantry
we would be starving right now. We barley make our bills (rent, phone,
electric, heat, etc.)


I have No idea what we are going to do for Christmas. We dont even have a
tree. And presents for the kids are out of the question.

Winter is starting and our vehicle has a problem with the 4 wheel drive. It
was working all summer but now that we need it for snow and ice the 4 wheel
drive is out.

Its hard to make due with only one vehicle when the kids have to go to
doctors appointments and such. My wife works 1 hour commute away and I have
to drive her with the kids back and forth if there is an appointment. This
spends the whole day and lots of gas just for one appointment.

We have a second vehicle with good 4 wheel drive but the front end needs
work at least $1000.00 in work. Because of this I am house bound with all
the kids most days. Life is starting to drive me crazy without wheels to at
least take the kids some place and have some adult conversation.

I find myself going stir crazy being house bound. Even to go to the food
pantry my wife had to take time off work so we had wheels and then make up
the time later in the week.

We used to live in 600 square feet. Small but cheap to heat. Luckily we are
in a village with a large house now. My mother just put the down payment on
the house and we pay the mortgage. She is now taped out.


The added expense of more room to heat is adding up. Luckily the government
and family has helped with some of the added expense for fuel oil ($3.95 per
gal) and wood ($60 per face cord). But I don't know what we are going to
do to make it through winter with all this snow falling right now.

I feel better just talking about it. Just knowing someone is listing makes
me feel at ease. Thank you for your time and your donations.

In Need Of A Guardian Angel!

Posted by NeedGuardianAngel on 2011-12-11 23:58:31

I am in need of a Guardian Angel. I am asking for help. I am in need of financial assistance.
In May 2011, I had a job loss. This was a devastating blow to me, my self-worth, my life was now turned upside down.
So why do I need a Guardian Angel you ask?
Unexpected finances. I have been served with divorce papers, fuel gauge has gone out in my truck, and partial rent for this month of December 2011. I also dealt with vandalism to my truck. In November, I had to go to the doctor for depression because I had an anxiety attack and fell into a depression.
With Christmas around the corner, it is hard to talk to family and telling them what I want or what they want, because I really don’t have the money. Sometimes, I just ignore the phone and work up the courage to speak with them. This Christmas I have no decorations up at home. I tend to avoid the malls, stores, and shopping areas, just so I won’t be remind that it is the Christmas Season.
This is my last resort. Typing this letter and asking help, real help, from people like yourselves that want to lend a helping hand to a person, who is experiencing financial difficulties and really make a difference in someone else’s life. With divorce, job loss, truck problems, rent past due and Christmas around the corner, it has really taken its’ financial stress on me.
I need $3500. $2500 for an Attorney (Retaining fee), $475 for truck repair, and $525 for rent.
As I said before, I need a Guardian Angel right now to help me through this tough time in my life. I am very much appreciative for you taking your time to read this and to help someone like me.
Thank you for being my Guardian Angel this year. Words will not be able to express how I truly feel in saying THANK YOU!

how do i put in words what i feel inside to share my need?

I dont know how to make this stand out, to have someone witha huge heart read it and say thats the one, thats who I want to help this family....
We can all post anything and the huge hearted person may wonder is this true is this real...who knows I guess we have to trust. And me asking have to have faith...life is hard for us all and we all have struggles. But I cant stand to see my kids go without, I do my best and teach them right. I work part time in the evenings so I can homeschool my A.D.D son, he was falling behind in school and I cant bare to see him on the medication it changes him. My partime work pays for rent and food and gas and the occasional "going out" I have 3 boys 13, 11, 9 Christmas is around the corner and I may be able to get a toy each. I just put a fuel pump in my car last week (christmas money) I also was diagnosed with having Trans Ischemic Attacks (mini strokes) I was told I need a brain scan because something is going on with the left side of my brain. I was told this 6 months ago...I just had a birthday I am 33... Life is hard and I pray alot and blessings do come so I know god is listening....hopefully a heart happens to pass his or her eyes over this posting, I dont care right now about me I care about the boys....I know if something happens to me it affects them but i have to ignore my health problems for now what can I do....someone please help...pray for my family...we are good people and we are one of many needing help...I wish someone could help us all.......

Please help our son

Posted by beroc on 2011-10-30 20:58:02

My son was home schooled on his last year in high school. He applied to the University of Alaska and was accepted and also was granted financial aid. Being a home school grad, he was required to take a test or GED. He opted to take the test so I agreed to send him to Alaska but he failed it by 2 points. Then he decided to take the GED and attend class Spring 2012. One day when he dropped his friends at school, he was stopped by a policeman (i don't know what for) and then was taken to the police station and detained for questioning for at least 8 hours. He asked to speak to a lawyer 2x but no lawyer was provided and they stopped talking to him. While detained, the police searched his apartment, truck, took his laptop, and cell phone. His apartment and his truck did not have any of the items they were looking for. They released him and 20 minutes later they arrested him. The only evidence the police have so far is that one of defendants also being accused of the same crime stated that my son was involved. This other defendant, come to find out has a record of stealing. My son insist that he did not do this crime and he is innocent and that he was not even in the area when the crime happened. He has an attorney now and has taken a look at my sons’ case. So far the DA has a photo of his truck at a gas station near his apartment at 6 P.M. This is not unusual since this is where buys his diesel fuel. The crime happened between 10-45-11:00 P.M. after the store closed. This is all the evidence so far. I am writing to beg you for a donation to bail out my son until his court date. We are asking donation for the following: his bail is $40,000 which we need $4000 cash and we are putting up our house as collateral for the remaining $30,000. The lawyer fee is $7500 and our balance is $2400. In addition to the bail, court also requires a third party custodian before an inmate can be released on bail. A custodian is someone who will watch over my son 24/7. My husband, daughter and I will be his third party custodians and we will fly to Alaska and set up another household. We need the 3 of us to be custodians because we also have another son who is a senior in high school and we the parents both want to attend his graduation. When we get there, we will go to my sons bond hearing and also for approval of third party custodian. My husband and I will alternate every 30 days so we can see both our sons. When my youngest son graduates, my daughter will be the custodian while we attend the graduation. We also need approximately $3500 for living expense until I get my first check from work. I have secured employment in Alaska and my son will also look for and secure employment. He has been in jail since Sept 20,2011 and we want to bail him out on Nov. 4, 2011. Total donation we are asking for $9900.00. s Can you find it in your heart to donate money to help us?

URGENT!!! Please help our son
