They need bedding, clothes and everything else you can imagine, thank you for your humanity, you can txt me at 801) 8575794, I do not have paypal

I don't really know where to start without it sounding somewhat chat show like. I have no family as such none of whom actually talk with me. My grandparents pretty much raised me. My mother and both brothers left at a young age. Dad was an alcoholic due to his own loss and dealing with his own personal issues..a good man betrayed I guess. Either way I ended up living in hostels from the age of 12.. friends floors etc met a guy fell in''love'' or so I thought he was a drinker also I ended up pregnant alone and had a beautiful child who's now 10. I lost my world yet gained my own new world like we all do. Its been tough. Anyway I've had severe eating disorders from being a child which has been undealt with I need help' I'm in severe debts I'm struggling like crazy and my whole world is collapsing. I have noone. We are getting evicted in june we have food parcels kindly offered to us by the salvation army but we can't have anymore they've stopped all of our benefits which is going to an appeal also at the end of june. I can't get any kind of loan. And I cannot work due to mental health and very bad scholiosis. My son has been my rock throughout all of this I'm not a parasite on the community nor do I wish to be one I just need someone to offer me the opportunity to start laying down some kind of solid foundation to help become the person we all deserve to be. Please consider taking my hand for guidence? +e appreciate you taking you time to read this plea and also kindly wish any good karma from this back towards you good people or person three fold xxx

I am a mother of an autistic son. I am in need of help with bills and car repairs. I am a private contractor for a local Medicaid Cab company. This is a self-employed position and there are expenses with it. I have 3 more years to pay on a loan for vehicle that is in need of an engine and possibly repairs on the axles. My income is determined by the fluctuation of clients needing to go to the doctor and the gas prices. Gas has hit $4.15 a gallon here and it takes a big chunk out of my income.
I have been married for almost 16 years to a wonderful guy. He lost his job with a company that makes car parts the last time the economy fell. This is a small town and the economy around us is based on the car business and it is still slow. Trying to find another job has been very hard on the whole family and my low income is making it a lot harder. Losing his job and not being able to provide for us has taken a hardship on my husband. He has become very depressed and with no health insurance we cannot get help. He has gained a lot of weight and now is unable to walk very far.
I am getting a little bit of help from the Government but they are telling me that they do not have a self-employed category. This means that they do not take the gas and repairs out of my income before they put it in so they are showing that I am making way more than I am.
I have asked several family members for help and they cannot help. I can only hope and pray for God to provide us with a miracle because we are a month behind on our rent. Catching up will be impossible. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thank You in Advance,
Chris

I came accross this web site several weeks ago and have been trying to come up with a way to tell my story. So here goes. I have an investment oppertunity that I am putting out to the Universe,God,The Devine, or any Tom,Dick,Mary,or Larry that wants to take a minute to think outside the box,take a risk that could be possibly a VERY profitable investment oppertunity !!What I'm looking for is a person or persons that would be willing to invest $40,000.00 to $50,000.00. It could be one person or several to get that amount of money and what I will do in return is pay them a return of atlest 50% return on their money !! For an example $10,000.00 would return $15,000.00 etc. I want to keep this short and simple.Nothing ventured nothing gained.So that's my story and if any one wants to contact me about this investment oppertunity so I can give them more details they can contact me by
e-mail @ kareysjoden@yahoo.com. Thank you for looking at my story and may God Bless you !!!

Ok just to start I would like to say that I don't have a sibling with a cripling degenerate disease, or lost my parents in a freak skiing accident (both are living happily in France)and I am not trying to send a football team of disadvantaged kids to an unbelievably expensive disney themed resort.
All these are worthy of donations and if I were able to I would donate to them myself, however I am not and have instead found myself having to sign up to a web site basically begging for kind strangers to donate, even the smallest of change, to be able to turn my life back around.

I won't bore you with the details of my long struggles as im sure we have all been there at some point (long and drawn out 'woe-is-me' emails written on request) however, what i will say is that after throwing myself into the world of work at 16 I gained as much life experience and qualifications as I possibly could and worked my little toosh off all the way.
After educating myself as a Photographer and Lithographer throught the RAF (leaving to get married and have a child) I then went on to realise that living with an alcoholic was not so good 4 either my baby or I, so took the brave steps to leave.
I then put myself thought an apprentiship as a mechanic and loved it! However I found it very difficult to spend quality time with my child during the holidays so managed to get a job in a school, which was perfect, then when an abusive relationship led 2 my son and I becoming homeless I had to do what was best for my child and let him go to live with his reformed dad 200 miles away :(
I then went back to what I love, mechanics, as I tried to get my life back on track however work has dried up and just after xmas I was laid off so here I sit as a single 30 yr old with qualifications galore, unemployed!
Ok depressing prologue over and i will cut straight to it.
I am now trying to make a future that will make my life and my contact with my son (every third weekend and all holidays) easier, I am trying to re train as a mechanics teacher, however the hurdle I have come accross (I really should apply to the olympics with all this hurdle trainging I've had) is that the course is going to cost £6,000 and I will only get help towards half, now this is a little bit of an issue as I dont know anyone that could manage to find £3000 in change down the side of their sofa, so I am apllying to the masses, I am just asking for a whole lot of people to donate just a little bit so I could get sorted please.
I may not be the most in need and I may not have a heart wrenching story but I am honest and I am a nice person who is sick of those that dont have any morals always coming out on top, just for once I'd like the good person to win (more specifically me really lol) so if you could spare anything I would truly be so very grateful :) Thank you if you made it this far :) xx

Hey and thank you for reading!
A little about me; My name is Alana, I am 26 years old and am privileged enough to have two beautiful children aged 6 and 3 who make life so much more bearable when life get's me feeling a little blue.

I've always been hard-working and took evening college classes after working during the day and juggling being a mummy, then passed last year with a distinction enabling me to go to university where I am studying English and History with high hopes for a future in teaching at college level.

So far I have achieved 2:1's in all of my assignments and have just got feedback that I have gained my first 1st in an essay, so my commitment and enthusiasm and sky high right now! Not to mention that my son is so proud of my going to 'grown-up school'and I just hope that I can give us a better future and be an inspirational role model to my children as they grow up.

Like most students I stay up till 2am to complete assignments, and during the day I attend classes, lectures and school runs plus the usual mummy stuff, so my hectic schedule means that I am always kept busy!

I am asking for a little help as although I have kept my family in the same home and our living cost's haven't changed, my diesel costs have quadrupled and my income has decreased significantly. I am making ends meet by requesting every bursary, repayable student loan and any other means of repayable help I can find, but I'm about to start my second semester at uni without any of my reading list books; this totals somewhere in the region of £300 for the remaining term.

I want to do everything In can to ensure I make the most of this opportunity to do the best that I can, and whilst I have used the library and bought second-hand books where I can, most aren't readily available.

So if anyone reading this would like to help me out, I would appreciate it more than I could express in this message, and will respond to every single donation! Any little amount would be a blessing, even the pennies count! I can't cut back any more of my outgoings.

Thank you so much for reading this far! Here's to working hard for a better future! Yours gratefully, Alana and her little (monsters) angels

Dear all,
Thank you for showing your interest and reading my story.
The saying about foolish middle age women is not a myth. I’m one of them. My name is Pat.

To make a long story short; my partner I met when I was 41, succeeded in 2 years to gain total control over me, my life and everything I ever worked for. He did it so cleverly and smoothly that I didn’t even noticed when I had simply nothing, no one and nowhere to go.

When he had me in his hand, he turned from a gentle, clever, kind and loving man into a tyrant, abuser, dipsomaniac and sadist. When my paralysis and apathy got to big I obviously was no sport anymore. One day he took whatever suited him (mine, his or gained together) and left me with piles of unpaid bills, debts taken in my name I didn’t know of and far too high rent for one person to carry.

But I’m a fighter! I’m a survivor. I decided that I’m blessed to be alive and will honour it with doing my best or even more to straighten up my life.

I have been struggling night and day since he left and I have succeeded to secure my electricity, heating and water supply. At Christmas eve I was thanking in prayers that I could afford a little food. I welcomed New Year’s toasting with myself with a small soda (pure luxury…). I started to see the light in the tunnel, gaining back my self-esteem and seeing that everything will be solved.

Until this morning.

My landlord (a big company, impersonal and no one to talk to) have informed me that there is a 3 months’ rent debt he was obliged to pay but never did and also he took out a deposition of 3 months that entitles to live in the flat.

If I don’t pay it ASAP I’m out in the streets. And I will be. He has misused my credits so I’m marked in all the systems; no loans, no flats, no telephone, no credits, not even a Visa, nothing.

Please, help me. I have no one to turn to. No family and what friends would be left after all the dramas, his manipulations and deceits and my absence? I refuse to give up but honestly – I don’t know how long I will have the strength.

Anything will be of help. Anything since I have nothing. I beg you. And you know – see it as an investment; Can this be solved I can’t see anything that can’t, and then It will be my turn to pass the generosity and helpfulness to the next needing person. And I will! To do that though – I have to survive.

Thank you for reading my story. If you can’t help – do at least learn something from it. Don’t repeat my mistakes.
God bless you all!/Pat

Where do I start? I have a history of Bipolar disorder and depression. I'm on a lot of psychiatric medication. In my life I've had several days I've felt hopeless. Life is supposed to be fun. For me, it hasn't been that way. Now I'm married and my wife suffers from depression. She needs gastric bypass surgery due to the weight she's gained. She's been declined from insurance companies because obesity is viewed as a pre-existing condition. I could use money to help her get the surgery she needs. I need money for every day things that we need. If you choose to donate any money, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Hello, Honestly I can not believe that I am writting this so i thank you for reading. I am a mom to a wonderful 15 month old little boy who is my world. I have never been married however I have been with my sons father for 7 years, 5 of which we have lived together. Our relationship was "movie perfect" at first and it just slowly went downhill over the years. I am not going to lie, he has never physically hurt me. However I have been called names and degrated in front of people for the last time. I need to leave but I was laid off when I was 18 weeks pregnate and have been a stay at home mom ever since.......Just to give an example of what I have to put up with, we were at a christmas party with everyone he works with and in front of everyone he says you have something on your but and when I asked what he said Oh nevermind thats just your wide load sign. I know this may seem very small thing to some of you but thats just an example. I go threw these mean and hateful comments daily. I have told him that they hurt me and wish he would stop but he just said that if i dont like it I should leave...he said that hes not going to put up with me talking back to him since I have gained weight and became ugly, he says he didnt mind "putting up" with me when I was skinner and I embarres him. Now, I am not overweight, in truth I used to be underweight when we met. I could tell stories of the like all day long, and I havent even mentioned the emails and facebook messages I have seen of him telling other women how beautiful they are and how he wishes I wasnt a cow. I just cant let my son grow up in this life thinking this is the way he is supposed to treat women. I know this is part my fault for not leaving him sooner, but that is all water under the bridge now. I have a beautiful baby who deserves better than living in this "family". I cant leave without any money as I have no job. I have put in dozens of applications yet I an told they are not hiring but I will be put on the waiting list. Anything you can offer that can get me and my son out of this house would be forever greatful and if you cant donate a prayer for me and my son would be just as apperciated.Thanks again for your time, and for reading my story.....it felt good to get off my chest for a while. God bless

The last year and a half have been terrible we were evicted twice after losing a child and on the plus gained another times have been cruel but we are fighting every day to survive and its the little ones first christmas and would like to have a good one for a change cause once again its looking grim and the oldest boy deserves one too only six years old we hardly can do laundry without washer and utilities are getting close to shut off and I'm desperate and don't know what else to do except keep pushing just need a break for a short time. Idk what else to say except keep pushing and thanks for even consider helping peace and happiness to all

Since being unemployed, I have gained a few extra pounds. I could use some new clothes to help present myself for employment and new shoes too. I am not a real trendy person, I am very frugal with my spending and tend to shop Clearance items, at thrift stores, Walmart, and Ross.

hi..im hoping kind people out there can help me. Im a 39yo female from australia with 2 children. I work part time and would love to seek full time work, but my situation stops me doing so. After and during the pregnancy of my 2nd child..i was extremely sick, gained alot of weight then lost it all..due to self persistance and a result of the whole combination of above events left my once were a-sized breast...almost to a pouch like stating...as they no longer contained any breast tissue. The option at that stage ws to have a complete masectomy..which i did. Meanwhile its been a long 14 years iv had to live this way..it eefects my whole life, self esteme and personal happiness. I have recently found a good surgain who is able to give me back half of the breast i had. I have tried to get loans but due to my work not being full time. Im not the kind of person who accepts hand outs so i promise to repay over time any or all kind people willing to help. I need a total of $15,000 and have medical documents from doctors which prove my case. Im really hoping people can help..as i just want my life back and have suffered this lose..long anough. :( ie if 15000 people donate $1...that would help so much and id keep record of every person who did so, and repay them over time..that i promise on my life!

In these hard times, you need more than just life experience to get ahead or even stay afloat. My problem began when I was working full-time at a non-profit agency. I enrolled in a university to finally get a degree and an opportunity for advancement. This of course seems like a good idea, but it didn't turn out that way.

Because I was working full-time I didn't qualify for financial aid so I relied on student loans. After just a single semester and despite getting excellent grades I realized I was getting in over my head financially and would not be able to afford this degree. At that point I was forced to quit my educational pursuit. I knew right away that loans weren't the way to go but without any savings it was the only choice and the advisor really didn't leave me feeling like I had any other options. I made a mistake by accepting the loans and I have been paying for it since then. Er...actually I haven't because I defaulted. Now I owe $4464.50 and climbing every day due to interest. I feel like a terrible failure for allowing this to happen, but I haven't given up.

I know at this stage of my life that a degree is not likely until or unless I can save some money and now working odd jobs and with costs climbing that just isn't possible. Since making this terrible mistake several years ago I found something I excel at which could help me earn a living, and I feel strongly that I can get accepted into the accredited program. The problem is that program costs $2500.00 which I do not have. It also requires a month-long stay in a major city which will cost roughly $900 and a plane ticket which I can surely save for if I should acquire the other funds.

All together I need roughly $8,000.00 to pay off my loan debt and obtain a Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) which would set me up to continue teaching English with credentials students can trust.

I take full responsibility for getting myself into this mess but that's not enough. I have to pay it back in order to fix my credit and start again. I am determined to succeed at the very demanding CELTA course and I will use the knowledge gained to help others succeed as well.

I lost my job end of Feb 2011. I am a single father and live in Florida. While Florida is number 3 in the country in "unemployment", the county I reside "Pinellas" is number 1 in the state of Florida.

I have started a business selling computer software training solutions and my target audience is any "Information Technology" professionals in the field needing continuing education or wanting to get certifications.

The "information Technology" field is continually growing and will be around for a long time. With technology always changing, for example newer versions of Windows, training is a necessity for survival in this profession.

I am looking for some capital to help launch this opportunity. I am looking for about $10,000 to assist me in developing this business as well as being able to pay my bills and not exhaust what little savings I have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I heard about this site and figured, nothing ventured nothing gained. I hate to ask for anything however, based on the facts above on the "unemployment" in Florida, I felt compelled to try this. I am not too sure I have any expectations, however, you never know. Hence, here I am asking for help embarrassingly so.

If the organization you represent, has any "information Technology" professionals, perhaps we could discuss my training solutions for your team

I can provide any documentation as to the credibility of this business and web sites if contingent on receiving said assistance.

Any help what so ever would be so appreciated and welcomed and I will thank you exponentially from the bottom of my heart.

ok so here goes. for those of you who know my past know how far i fell into the depths of addiction. after spending 8 yrs under the department of corrections supervision. behind bars and on parole. I realized, again, who i am and where i came from. I was raised Right I Just Forgot. Today i am a father, dad and someday a husband.i'm almost 9 years clean. my life is good . however there are times when ,what i call "my Lion" awakens and tries calling me back to the life of debauchery i lived for so long/ to put my lion to rest i spend a lot of time fishing. hence my plea. for the last 3 yrs ive been professionally walleye fishing locally competing against other teams. sure for cash, but mainly for the the sense of peace and freedom i feel on open water,instead of the fear, loneliness and hatred i felt on the concrete ocean i came from. today i feel my peace and freedom being threatened, ive contacted corporations, and businesses both locally and nationally expressing my desire to partner with them and share my story of success However the the "economic crisis"which hit me personally. Until a month ago i'd been unemployed for a little over 3 months. has most corporations and businesses not sponosing this year.With that and having to take a job that barely pays the bills surely wont allow me to be on the water hardly at all, let alone in a professional series of circuits as planned. therefore i am reaching out to my friends and family, to their connections and resourses to ask for help. Help to maintian the life i ve gained and to maybe partner with a sponsor whom isnt afraid to let a man like me live a life long dream , to be a professional fisherman and share my story maybe helping someone along the way . so if you have any ideas ,connections or maybe even know Oprah or DR. Phil , a portfolio of our promotional overview along with ranks and abilities can be seen at FishingSponsors.com

When I got pregnant with my first son I weighed about 100 pounds. He weighed 10 pounds at birth and of course the weight I gained ripped my small body to shreads with strech marks and streched skin. I had 2 more children that didn't do near the damage of the first. I had 3 c-sections that didn't help my cause. I am a 31 year old stay at home mother to my 3 children and the wife of a career fireman. I live with back pain from the skin that hangs from my abdomen. Insurance will not cover a tummy tuck as they deem it cosmetic. I saw a plastic surgeon and he said there could easily be 5-10 pounds of skin....not fat...removed from my tummy. I weigh about 125 pounds and am 5' 3" so I am not fat. I excersise regularly and there is no way to tone stretched out skin. I know this is a long shot and there are much more needy causes but if you have ever had to carry this extra baggage around you would understand. If you would like pictures of what my stomach looks like I will provide them gladly. I wouldn't object to payment being made to my surgeon to ensure the funds wouldn't be spent other wise. This is my dream....to be normal again. My email is mistyisablonde@gmail.com.

Dear Friend,
These are words I thought I would never say. My name is Dixie and I need your help. I am 60 years old, and I have worked the last 43 years of my life. I had a bad stroke and I can no longer work. I am on disability and the goverment expects me to live on $649 per month. I can no longer afford to live on my own, so I have moved into a one bedroom apartment with my daughter and her husband. I cannot stay here much longer because the landlord will not allow me to reside in the apartment because I am not on the lease and because its only a small one bedroom apartment and not enough room for the three of us.
I have helped alot of people over the years. I have assisted friends and family with money for rent, food, and clothing. I did this out of the kindness of my heart because I know times can get tough sometimes. I have always been told that "what goes around comes around". I have always believed this was true.
I need your help. I have no resources for affordable living. I have tried to make money doing various things like working at home jobs, mail marketing jobs, and mystery shopping. I have been unable to make any money doing any of these things. I have spent money to do these things and have not gained anything in return. It has left me completely broke.
I am asking for your help. I am trying to raise enough money so that my family and I can move. I am asking if you could send me a few dollars to help. Anything at all will help me. I really do appreciate anything you can help us with. I didnt know what else to do. I hope I will hear from you soon. Thanks again for your help.

God Bless,
Dixie Harris & Family

Hi everyone. It feels so sad for me to be here, but I almost have no other choice.

My name is Marie. I'm 19 years old. I live in Puerto Rico. Today I'm at my second year of college. It's being a real struggle for me. My mother is a teacher, so I don't qualify for federal aid like the pell grant. Yet she doesn't make enough money to pay for my college expenses. She works at school all day and tutors some kids in the evening.

y tuition is about 2,000 dollars a trimester. That is about 8,000 a year. I have taken 2 student loans and my mom has helped me with the rest.

I don't have a car and there is no real public transportation system here. So when i try to looks for jobs that I can go walking, employers say i don't have enough experience.

I'm studying a bachelor in graphic design. I had find freelance jobs where i would work for less than 3 dollars an hour designing flyers and bruchures. I did them with free software and the employers computers. Slowly i gained enough money for a laptop. And then 2 weeks ago it was stolen from my small apartment.

I usually go by 1 meal a day, mostly junk food cause it's the cheaper i can get. I have 4 jeans in my closet, 6 shirts and 2 pairs of shoes. I don't have a celphone for emergencies and I live alone in a small apartment near the campus that pays like 300 dollars a month. My mom is at home 2 hours away.

I'm too young to get a credit card here. I must be 21 to qualify. And my mom has bad credit so I can't afford my new computer. If i had my own computer i could do more graphic design freelance jobs at least enough to eat.

Now my brother is out of highschool and my mom can't pay for his education because of me. That makes me feel so bad.

My dream is to make an honest living and be successful in the future, so I can give back to those in my position. I want to work and be productive but without an education or experience it is impossible to get a job.

Have run out of options trying to make ends meet. Husband lost a good job in October of 2008. He did get another job in February of 2009, but it was a loss of $1,000.00 in income per month compared to his last job. We figured a steady check was better than no check and that he could keep looking. I do have a full time job and have worked for the same company for 14+ years. He did find a better paying job that would bring us back up, but it took a year to find it. So we had a loss of $12,000.00 in income for the year of 2009, but we gained a grandchild into our household. That did not work well financially, but with corner cutting and my husband going back over the road for his job we were getting to a light at the end of the tunnel. Then the truck my husband drives went down and the company gave him a rental truck to use - but only for one week. So he lost a weeks work - then he worked a week for someone else, three weeks later and he still has not gotten paid for that job. So we are behind 2-3 weeks worth of pay and falling deeper. I need the money 1) to pay back $5,000.00 to my sister that she lent us to help with the mortgage when we fell behind. 2) to pay off $600.00 sears credit card and close the account. 3) to buy tires for our car as the current ones are bald. 4) To make some minor home repairs before they are not minor anymore - (There's a leak somewhere in the kitchen ceiling) 4) to get a savings account going again so that we can move forward from the last couple of rough years. We are in the process of working with a law firm and the mortgage company to get a modification on our loan as we were dumb enough to trust our lender and refinanced a couple years ago - Now our interest rate is at 8.6% and we feel behind when our income went down. It just seems like every time we let a sigh of relief out another shoe drops.

My husband and I have been married for 17+ years we have a 16 year old son and a twenty year old daughter. Our Daughter has a 1 year old baby and they live with us at this time. Our Daughter is in college and we encouraged her to stay in and finish. The Baby's Father is in the picture just not a part of this family anymore. He wasn't ready to be a dad. Nice time to figure it out!

With being behind on our mortgage - and the sears credit card our credit is poor and we can not obtain a loan through a bank and a refinance or mortgage work out is taking too long. I can totally understand people who just want to walk away from it all sometimes.

I would love to be able to relieve some stress for my poor husband. Having to go back over the road (Truck Driver) after being home most nights and all weekends was a huge impact on our household. Never mind he constantly checks up on me as I have fibromyalgia and type 2 Diabetes. So he worry's about money, my health and everything else a Dad and Husband worry about on top of it. We also lost our health insurance in April - the week after I found out about the Diabetes. I have not been able to go back for a check up or to have my blood and urine checked as I cannot afford to pay for the visit and tests out of pocket so I monitor myself the best I can.

Like I said - Would do a Loan. I am not looking for a free handout, just a loan. Small interest mind you, but a loan.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I'm 43 yrs. old and cannot walk without the use of two canes. I have suffered damage to my knees and lower legs due to venous insufficiency caused by complications from a severe staph infection I contracted about three years ago.
During this same period I caught my wife cheating on me which led to a divorce and the loss of my job. I spiraled into a deep depression, became addicted to opiates, nicotine and food. I gained a lot of weight which severely complicated my illness and all aspects of my health.
I am finally slowly digging my way out of this deep hole. In the last year I have quit smoking, conquered my drug addiction, have healed about 95% from the staph infection and have made great strides in battling depression and losing weight. However, I am still currently disabled and subsisting on the meager $700/month our fine government believes is more than enough live on. I have been a musician most of my life and I'm now physically up to using that skill again to earn some extra money, but because of my illness I was forced to sell every last bit of my equipment and instruments to pay for my medical bills. I am asking not only for cash donations but I would also love to receive any donations of old guitars electric or acoustic, amplifiers, bass guitars (acoustic, electric or upright), mandolins, fiddles, harmonicas, keyboards, microphones, PA equipment, speakers, power amps, cables, eq's, compressors etc., mic stands, recording software, computers, anything I could use to play out or record a demo to get gigs. Of course cash is always best. At the moment I don't have a PayPal account, but I will remedy that shortly. Thank you for your consideration and prayers.
