Grandpa Tags

I’m an ordinary Grandma who would love to visit the Grandchildren I have never seen. We have worked hard all our lives but a combination of ill health, the recession in the UK and being unable to obtain work, primarily because of our age, we are struggling financially. Everything started to fall apart 4 years so when my husband became ill; I became ill 18 months later. He lost his job & has been unable to obtain another. My illness prevents me from being employed. I have still the last 4 years tried to run various businesses on the internet but with no success & our old age pensions (mine was due next year) have been put back by the UK Government for another 4 years.

We have 2 grandchildren we have never seen. They live in Portugal with my daughter & her husband. They are poor & struggling too so they cannot come to the UK nor pay for us to go there.

The cost of 2 flights from the UK to Porto or Lisbon will be around £800 for both of us. The cost of car hire (we need to hire a car to as they live in a tiny village inaccessible by public transport a couple of hours from the airport) is around £600 for 2 weeks

The first 2 weeks in August would be a lovely time to visit as they are on holiday from work & school.

I would so love to see my grandchildren, play with them, hug them. It hurts not seeing them more than I can say.

My husband says I’m wasting my time but I believe that there are good, generous people around who will help just as we have helped other people in our good times.

Could someone please help this old Grandma & Grandpa so they can see their grandchildren at least once. Any donations would be wonderful.

Thank You

Sometime ago, my grandparents, Anthony and Mercedes passed away within 2 years with my grandpa being first, but before that came about, my grandparents dying wish, was that after they passed, that the money they had saved up would be split between me, my uncles, aunts, father, mother and sister. So my uncles and aunts promised my grandparents they would do that, we all agreed.

Also, my grandma wanted a big funeral with everyone she knew to be there. But after she passed, my uncles just disappeared, and my aunt Gloria robbed my grandma out of her own funeral, she only invited 6 people out of 50, stole all the money that was supposed to be for the funeral and split between us all, which totaled up to a little over $100,000, and she took it all for herself and her husband, moved to Nevada, and pretended like my mom, dad, sister and me didn't even exist, worst then that, is that she never apologized, my uncle Dave did nothing, and either did any of my cousins.

They promised to fulfill my grandparents dying wish, and I believed them, my grandparents believe them, and in the end, they stole from their own parents, my grandparents. I begged my aunt for an answer on why she did what she did, and she never came clean, she never once admitted she was wrong, and worst then that, she ignored me, and my mom, dad and sister. It's just the four of us, and we're financially struggling worst then ever before, because we were betrayed. This has effected my sister the most, because her depression has been getting worst, and because of it, she has tried to kill herself a few times because of how things turned out, but she didn't, although I couldn't stop her from cutting herself.

I am currently the only healthy person in my family right now. My mom is disabled and has cerebral palsy, my father is ex-military who is also disabled, and just recently, he was hit by a car and can no longer work, and my sister has asthma. I'm 25 years old and currently unemployed, despite the fact I went to college, I can't find a job anywhere. My mom too, went to college, earned her degree, and she can't find a job either. I worked for a several years, but was let go because business was slow. Since then, I've been selling my stuff left and right just to get through and to help my family, but it's not enough.

If there is anyone out there that can help me and my family, I would be eternally grateful and thankful to you, and to the good Lord for this blessing. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and God bless you.

It all started in January when we put my grandmother back in the nursing home because she almost died. About a week later found out my mom was having surgery. Then my child broke a bone and needed immediate surgery. 5 minutes after her surgery found out my mom had cancer and needed another surgery. Her surgery was postponed and we couldn't figure out why. My grandpa was in a car accident and released from the hospital only to pass away in his sleep that night. So we figure the postponed surgery was God's way of making sure my mom was there for the funeral. My mom had her surgery and they did manage to get all the cancer. I've had to miss work. Our bills have suffered. Now my job has cut back everyones hours. My husbands job has cut down his hours. We are in jeopardy of being evicted. We keep doing all we can and it's almost like 2 steps forward 10 steps back. We would appreciate any help that can possibly be given. I promise to pay it forward as soon as we get on our feet! Thank you!

My mommy needs your help, daddy went to the sky and we see him in pictures and on a short video sometimes.My momgets disability for my brothers but that is the only money we get. We need a better home the one we are at when she plugs somethings in it sparks.Mom said it needs a fence because we are 5,4,and 2 yrs old. Our grandma and grandpa stay here to,but theres not enough money,1200.00 and the rent is 750. My name is amy and my Husband hung himself almost 2 years ago.We live in a unsafe home but can not seem to get off the ground.I love our 3 blue eyed, blondes and want to give them a safe and nice home, if we can get any help we would really be greatful. for proof you can call,6083432865. my best friend and the one that has helped us the most, even took us in at the most crucial time is putting this on the net for us. So if you choose to call and ask anything lease do not hesitate,also be aware at times these 3 wound 4 sound babes try to answer my cell so please use discretion if they do. I am going to try to update and figure out how to ost pic. of us all to help make our face a reality to you all. thanks so much for listening the williams family,my best friend put this up fr my family, thanks michelle and the williams

I'm not ill or using a sob story, I am just asking for some help to cover my grandpas funeral costs he died so suddenly 2 weeks ago and didn't have life insurance or money to cover funeral costs - in fact the money he had left went to charities all over . I miss him so much and feel absoloutley terrible that we cantb afford to give him a good send off it is heartbreaking I loved my grandpa so much Please help me .

My grandpa has been very sick since August--losing weight . . . The doctors were unable to diagnose him, but in October, his kidneies began to fail. He began dialysis straight-away; however, his condition only worsened. He was admitted into the hospital in November, but still he continued to lose weight, due to an extreme loss of appitite. In December, he was given a feeding tube; while in there, the doctors took a sample, and it was concluded that he has stomach cancer. Being that he's already been through chemo-therapy, and it is terrible, he does not want to procede with that option. I cannot not have my grandpa. We don't have the typical grandfather-granddaughter relationship; he's always been so much more: my best friend, my teacher, my mentor, my dad . . . I have done research on alternative medicine, and I have to give it a try. Unfortunately, these medicines are not anywhere close to my price-range. You see, I am a military wife with four children, and we just simply cannot afford it. Yesterday, I went to see if I could get a loan, but the cost is too great for the collateral we could have offer. Like I've implied, I'll do anything; I have to try. Any donation will help, but please help me save my grandpa. I love him with all of my heart, and I just cannot lose him. Please and thank you (in advance).

I have been trying to get my locksmith business started for 1 year now. I do some work but there are lots of things i still can't do because of lack of equiptment that i can't afford now. Things have been tough with my wife having to have surgery and many other stumbling blocks this year i try to put as much as i can back it to the business. My wife thinks that i'm not charging enough sometimes for my services but in most cases i'm trying to help other though these troubling times. I'm not like some locksmiths that will rip people off but instead i want to help people out. I understand that sometimes you can lock your keys out of your car and you just can't afford to pay someone money you not really have to unlock your car. I know that when my grandmother was living that she had to use locksmiths to unlock her house door after she was locked out. I know that people on fixed incomes are getting rip off by some locksmiths. I want to help all the grandma's and grandpa's out there that need locksmith services with affordable services and work with them so that they don't have to worry about taking money from their food budget but they can still have security they need. I have got some equiptment but i need a code machine and other equiptment to do the job right and make my services more affordable. I am in need of around $12,000 dollars for new equiptment and also for concrete work to put up a building that i have had purchased for a few years now and have not had money for concrete work.So that i can use it for locksmith store. I would also like to add employees later if i can get enough work for them to do. God has been good in keeping our needs supplied during these hard time. Since we have had lost of income it seems like every time that we don't where our next meal might come from he fills our table again. I just ask if you might could help us out with this business please do and i will pay it forward to others. This is something that is very hard for me to do is to ask for help. I'm just going to trust the Lord and what he says to be right in Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: God bless you for even taking the time to read my plea for help if you can't help finacially you can help spiritually by just praying for me. Thank you

Please help my friend raise the money he needs to get his daughter back. His daughter is only 3 years old but when she was only 2 she opened up about her great-grandpa sexually abusing her. Between cps and the court system his daughter is living at the same house as her accused preditor, her mother who has failed many drug test and her uncle who has been diagnosed with mental illnesses. He loves his baby girl so much and he just wants her to be safe. He needs her and she needs him. This is a time in a babys life where it is very important to be around people that love her and want to take care of her. We have got to get her out of the situation she is in and bring her home safe to her daddy! Do this for Bri-Bri!

Hi I am a 21 year old living on my own with my fiance. I'm not financialy stable but I make it by. My family back at home really needs help. My grandparents are in debt and are barely making it by due to piled up bills. One including my grandpa's hospital bill. He has cirrhosis of the liver stage 4 and has decided to stop going to his appointments for his own reasons. No he does not drink. He works hard at an oil rig where he's been for over 10 years. My grandma also works and takes care of one of my small cousins. My aunts and uncles try to help them but they are in debt themselves. My whole family pretty much is in trouble right now with putting food on the table. My mother cannot help them because she can't afford to. My stepdad has severe diabetes that is slowly killing him... Please anything would help. I've had to drop out of college to work more but I still cannot help enough. If you want to know more please feel free to ask me. I have never done anything like this but I feel like I have no where else to go to ask for help.

Hi my names Jacqueline... I just turned 18 years old and had to move out of my foster home in florida because I was too old to stay. I only had $600 saved up, so I decided to move to arkansas were I had some family from one of my biological mother previous marriages... that defiantly didn't work out.. the didn't want anything to do with me. Please i don't know what to do... Ive been looking for a job, but since i'm a full-time student on a scholarship its really hard. I have no money for transportation even if i could find a job. my grandpa just lost his job and can no longer help me with the basic nessessities. I have no shampoo, no TP, "hygiene products", or food. I'm really trying to be humble and ask for some help. I promise I would help if I could as well. Thank you for your consideration and god be with you forever.

I have been jobless for the past two months.I lived with my grandpa who helped support me but he passed away three months ago he was the only person I could count on. I have no one else to turn to. I am struggling so much.I have already sold what I had of value and have nothing else. I have been looking for gigs online at craigslist such as dog walking,cleaning, but nothing yet. I also recycle but it's not enough. Please help me anything will help.

We are a family of 4, Grandpa ,Grandma, Granddaughter 8 and Grandson 6. grandpa is a carpenter and is having a hard time finding work. Grandma used to be a hard worker but now has many illnesses and is trying to get social security and of course getting denied. we are behind in everything and are now facing eviction, we have no money and no place to go. We have run out of options, we tried churches,welfare,human services, and every government agency we could think of to no avail. Turned away by all of them. Thats how we ended up here, begging for help. Is there any out there? Help us if you can please.

I am 39 years old. I have 3 beautiful children 17 years old, 12 years old and a just turned 1 year old. I just separated from my ex husband 4 years ago after 14 hard years of abuse. It has been very difficult trying to climb back up after the disaster. Everything from my marriage was in my name because I was the only one who ever took care of stuff, so when my husband decided he didn't want to work or pay bills, I got stuck with all the repossessions and bad credit (his boat, his truck, the house). So that left me with the kids, bad credit, no child support, and a job with unsteady hours.
What really stunk, is I thought I had friends and family that would be there for me in my time of need, but when I needed help for the first time in my life, everyone disappeared.
I spent my whole life helping and doing for others. I was the person everyone depended on. I was the person everone could rely on. I was always the first person to help a fellow man. I would give anyone my last dollar. I worked for Hospice, Homecare, and Mortuary Transport... I did the jobs no one wanted to do. I took in about everyone in my family at one time or another (mom, brother, cousin, and some friends too). I took care of them like they were my children. Even though I was on a very limited income, I took in my grandpa and cared for him 24 hours a day for 4 years to keep him out of a nursing home. I barely made over minimum wage, and his children made ALOT of money, yet I am the only one who stepped up to the plate. I took in a coworker 20 years older than me and nursed him back to health. I always would help a strnger in need, once I found a little old lady in the Publix bathroom that had pooped her pants and had it all over the walls and herself. Everyone ignored her, but I decided to jump in and help clean her up and get her to her car so not to get embarrassed. My best friend is 40 years old with terminal cancer and 7 kids and a downs syndrome brother in law she cares for. Sadly enough, she is the only one who has been here for me emotionally. I have been trying to help her the best I could until recently things have got so bad for me, I can not be there for her. I cant help any one if I can't help myself. I could tell you too many stories, but there is not enough space here to fit them all. The point is, I had never asked for help. I was always self sufficient, I always fended for myself. I always said, I would never ask for help unless it was absolutely dire, and I lived comfortably knowing that with all I had done for others, that if I ever needed for anything, they would flock to my side.
Well, when my separation happened, and now that everything has gone downhill, not one person has stepped up to the plate friends nor family. I went without heat for my children and newborn baby this last year. There have been days that I had no food for them. They have had to go without many necessities. I have been in constant fear of loosing electric, water, or a place to live. I have a broken down vehicle. I have done my best to keep things afloat, but now I feel like I am on a sinking ship and no one wants to throw me a life preserver, even though I am the one who handed them out! I need only to get back on dry land so I can move forward and be self sufficient again. What I need is to catch up on rent and utilities, fix my vehicle, tag and register my vehicle. These are my necessities to keep surviving. Once I get out of this hole, I know I can keep myself afloat. I am also worried about Christmas, but I am sure keeping a roof above our heads is the most important thing, and I believe my children know this. Feel free to contact me at jclark398@cfl.rr.com with any questions or further info. Thank you.

After paying my bills this month, I realized that I don't have enough money to visit my grandparents for Thanksgiving. My grandpa has been sick lately, and I'm worried that this might be his last Thanksgiving. They live in another state, so I'd need $20 in gas to get there. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out! Thank you.

I can never seem to catch a break. I have NO money to pay for my car insurance/tags/registration.(family seized the car because I let the insurance lapse because i couldn't afford it) I struggle to find rides to work because of this and am on a final notice at work so the next time I can't rely on a ride to work I will be terminated. All of my sad little paycheck goes to paying bills and rent, 99 percent of the time my phone bill is late and gets cut-off for 2 weeks making it impossible to get rides to and from work. I have NO money to feed myself. I am down to a scary 92 pounds and starting to look "skin and bones" according to everyone.(my stomach is gurgling as I type this :( I am in debt for one maxed out credit card (used to fix one broken down car in another state) which will not allow me to get any loans or credit cards (believe me i've tried ALOT) I'm in debt to my grandpa for bailing me out and paying my bills after another ex boyfriend abused me, and to my father who loaned me the money for the car I am unable to drive, and then there's the medical bills. Currently I am in desperate need to see a doctor because there's something seriously wrong with my ovaries...but I can't afford it so I keep ignoring it and it's getting worse. If I went back to school my family said they would pay my car payments... but i'd have to pay for the school. HOW WHEN I HAVE NO MONEY, NO CAR TO GET THERE, AND CAN'T SACRIFICE THE HOURS OF WORK WHEN I HAVE BILLS BILLS BILLS. Anxiety is plauging me so bad I can't sleep and have panic attacks. Any money would help. I just want to be happy again and be able to live my life, go back to school have good credit, be able to eat more than 500 calories a day. I know there's people out there that have it alot worse, but Im not asking for money for plastic surgery or to pay off shopping debts. I'm asking for money so that I don't lose everything I have.

This is a first for me..I don't think I've ever been this low. I've been unemployed for almost two years, not for lack of trying. I'm a full time student and I have two boys ages 9 and 3. I've been doing some work for my grandpa on the side selling stuff on ebay but I only make 25% of what I sell and that hasn't been much. My unemployment benefits are used up and I've been dancing on the razor's edge trying to prevent shut-offs and eviction and I've been lucky thus far but my luck and money are both nearly exhausted. Any help would be deeply appreciated. I'm not scamming, nor am I saving for a boob job or an xbox; I truly need the help. Thank you
