Grandparents Tags

Back story: I'm a single mom of two. I work full time and go to school full time. I do not receive child support. My a/c went out recently and before we realized it was out our electric bill had run up to an unGodly amount. My school loans are overwhelming, and to top it off I need to take my kids to their grandparents house for the summer and money is tight. Everything adds up and anything can knock something off the monster that is clawing at my back.

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

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.

I'm from Mississippi, went to Oklahoma last year to see my mum, sistera, uncle.. started helping out an old friend/employer & one evening while fixing the boss' dad's computer for free, met a girl, love at first sight. Then, my parents got me to come back to MS to try out a job. I got the job, very enjoyable, $10/hr, but couldn't forget the girl, she was going crazy thinking I was ignoring her online, I was working & didn't check my messages frequently enough. So I missed her, she missed me.. I came back to OK the day after my birthday & we started our relationship. Everything was perfect. Then, she started losing it, getting stressed for no apparent reason. It turned out the boss had been feeding her meth.(this was oklahoma, after all) so we move out to be happy together, all december we just spent the money I had accumulated working in MS, then stayed in bed together until about New Years, when the boss came around.. we went to casino with her and started working for the ol' boss again, because my job search attempts during December had been fruitless without a vehicle or $ for transportation. So, living with the boss again, problems/drama came back around, my girlfriend would occasionally disappear for 3 days with no communication. I would worry about her, couldn't sleep, worrying/wondering.. we took off to Kansas to get away from the meth-heads. left everything behind, just took a few clothes & ewch other. Everything was perfect.. then my girlfriends aunt started feeding her lies and meth. Effin' meth. girls really get hooked on the stuff. so my first Valentines day was ruined because my girlfriends aunt fed her drugs and lies (i must be a cop because i wont smoke meth with them) and made her think she hates me. She also broke my phone in half and physically assaulted me, but I don't hit females, no matter how obnoxious.. I went back to Oklahoma to work with the boss. this was okay for awhile, but being depressed and lonely, having nothing else to livs for, i stuck with it, no matter how stressful. I was working(for weak pay, but i had free use of vehicles and a place to stay, this was Meth City, Oklahoma, after all - I was the only licensed, insured driver & trustworthy worker they had. I was hoping to accumulate enough funds to take a trip to KS and rescue her from corruption, or at least get her an android to keep in touch, but that never happens when the boss pays you then borrows it back. eventually, the boss' husband went crazy, thought everybody was supplying his wife drugs, or having sex with her, neither of which was I doing, but he kicked everyone out except his nephew, which turned out to be who the one who had sexted his wife from my phone. They were having a relationship, aunt & nephew, which disgusts me.. Anyway, I w(as kicked out as well, my grandparents wanted me to come to Florida to help, meanwhile, my ex comes back from KS with a boyfriend, i get a greyhound ticket to FL.. then the ex kicks her new bf back to KS, comes over needing a place to sleep & get away from meth. I give her uninterrupted sleep, feed her, etc.. and pretty soon we are together again. Nobody helps me get her a ticket to FL for what happened in KS, and before long, matching tickets are sold out. After a hellish, lonely journey in Greyhound, I end up in what seems like paradise, lonely, depressed. My girlfriend wants to get out of Meth City, and I've been trying to make the money with no luck. its been about a week now. My GF texted me how she is heartbroken and wants me to get her out of there. I need to fly her to Jacksonville airport, get her a ride to the nearest airport, and feed her, and I think it can all be accomplished for about $400. I do have intentions of repaying anyone that helps, once I start making money out here. All i need is about $400 to get her out of that drug infested town and out here to the country where she will be away from it all, distracted by lizards, squirrels, bunnies, etc. This girl means the world to me, she's had a rough life, and I want to make her life better like it should be. $400 will get her here to FL with me and I can take over from there, and when I repay, it will be more than was originally contributed, as it should be. this is "begslist" so: Pleeeeeeeease?

I am 22 years old and have a 7 month old daughter and am working part time at Walmart. I get on average $600. a month in salary. I have had to have extensive dental work done which has cost over $4,000. I had to put this amount on a CareCredit card and don't make enough to even make the minimum payment due on my dental bill by the time I pay all my other bills, gas for the truck and diapers and stuff for my child. I am ineligible for welfare benefits, I do receive food stamps which helps buy my baby formula and food.

I am just trying to get this bill paid off. I work hard and love my job and have a dream of being a singer. I love to sing. I love my baby girl. This past year has been very hard because I've had to move to another town and start from scratch with my baby. I do not own a vehicle but am currently able to drive my grandparents truck. I want to be independent and take care of my child and my bills. That is my goal to be debt free. If you can find it in your heart to help me out even a little bit I would be most grateful
and will pray that God will bless you in your life.

Thank You

I'm a sophomore in college in North Carolina. I have 3.7 GPA but still do not get nearly enough financial aid to cover my costs for school. I work part time as a waitress, but the money I earn is used for groceries and bills. Both of my parents have drug issues and I have lived with my grandparents since I was about 7 but they barely can afford to take care of themselves, let alone myself and my brother. I am a hard working person. I worked very hard to get into college. I hope this isn't my last year. I would like to make something out of myself. All donations are greatly appreciated. If you would like , I will send anyone that donates a picture of myself and my diploma when I graduate. Thank you so so much.

I am a single mother of a 2 year old little boy and I am trying to get out of a really bad situation. I do have a job but it is not enough to support me and my son because I am always giving my money to the other people that I live with. My sons great grandparents have been using me for my money and I am in debt really bad now. I need some help with money so that I can start my life back up and get away from these people. I want a fresh start over that is all. I want to pay off my electric bill that is sitting at $1,500, I have a friend that is willing to sell me a car for $1,000 if I can come up with the money, about $200 for plates and title transfer, and maybe $600 so I can be able to by a few new things for me and my son like new clothes for the both of us, a new bed for my son and a bed or couch for me to sleep on. If we do leave we will not be able to take much with us if we want to be able to get out of here fast. I just can not take it here anymore and feel that things are getting worse for me and my son. I have done all that I can just to keep a roof over mine and my sons head. But I am falling faster into depression and I don't know how much more stress I can take. PLEASE HELP US!!!

Without telling you my whole life story and perhaps making you cry for hours, I'll highlight some of the big things that led me to this site.

I grew up with one parent. My mother, who struggled to make ends meet working as a CNA. When I was 16 I had two jobs to help with the bills my mom had.

When I was seventeen I was sexually assaulted by a supposed friend and conceived a child which I of course kept. I had my daughter only four days after graduating high school with very good grades.

Went to College for criminal justice in hopes of becoming a law enforcement officer or work at a correctional facility. Then I met a guy I fell in love with, we had a child together. He asked me to Marry him, and then 6 months after we got engaged, left me for someone ten years younger than me.

Here I sit. Single Mom, two kids. I did graduate college, and get a job in my field, however that isn't helping at all with catching up on all the bills my ex left me with and my student loan debt which is in default because I'm going paycheck to paycheck.

I don't qualify for any type of help, I wanted to file bankruptcy however an attorney is at least a thousand dollars which would take me like two years to save up for so I'm trying to file that myself to help my situation. My family is dysfunctional and I have no rich uncles or grandparents.

I dont understand why god thinks I have such strong shoulders! I can't carry this burden of life I have. It seems like there isn't a way out!! I'm facing losing my home, my paychecks that keep me going due to student loan ganishments, and I'm so stressed out I ant even think most days. How did I get here? I ask myself if I'm that bad of a person Karma has to hold me down and suffocate me?

I wish I could get any kind of help in life, even someone to tell me what to do!! I tried donating plasma but they kicked me out because my veins roll, I can't get anyone to hire me for a second job with the hours I work, and damnit my life just flipping sucks!!!!

Thanks for reading, I hope your life is better than mine is.

Hi there...
The whole idea of asking for money makes me sick to my stomach. I have never been a beggar or a person who wanted charity. But I honestly have no other choice anymore.
My story starts in 2009 with my ex girlfriend, whom would turn out to be the worst thing that ever happened to me. I'm not going to play the blame game, because I have forgiven her since. However I am left with the lasting damage of that relationship.
We had dated when we were young, she had cheated with a friend and I had left her, but i always loved her most of all and was eventually able to forgive her later. I was a fool for love. This is where the trouble starts, we had begun to talk again in early 2009, and soon a relationship developed between us once again. By this time she had a daughter who was 7 years old. I moved to another state to be with her and her daughter, after awhile I loved her daughter as my own child. I took her fishing with me every chance I had. I did not realize it before I had went down there, but her family was a real problem. They took to controlling every aspect of her life, even going as far as taking her mail out of her mail box and reading it. From the very start I has hated, I could not be controlled or told what to do, though they tried. Later in the year I was working and I thought things had improved, they grudgingly accepted me.

I am not a cruel or an evil person, I am always firm but loving when it comes to discipline. There had started to be problems at school and home, with tantrums, and destructive behavior. My ex and I talked about it and we tried everything, nothing seemed to work save simple old fashioned spanking. When she threw a tantrum one day and wrote that she hated us and left it on a note where we would surely find it, and broke her own window in her room. I knew something had to be done, this was totally unacceptable. So I spanked her, not hard or vicious like i got when i was a boy. But just my hand. I left a red mark, not welts or bruises a red mark. Of course being a little girl, she tended to talk and tell everyone EVERYTHING. She told her grandmother about it, and that was it for me, suddenly i was this horrible terrible person. My ex and I quarreled about it a great deal and I left for awhile just to get my head around things and see if it was worth saving.

I decided to leave, and I went home back to indiana where i was from, I left with a broken heart, but i knew the situation couldn't be fixed.
There were other things going on at the time I did not become aware of until later, one was that my ex was pregnant. She later admitted to me that she had been smoking while pregnant, drinking, taking more and more prescriptions, and when she finally told me about it she told me she was glad she had miscarried.
I have never forgotten that statment.
Now here is where the real trouble begins and why I am in such desperate need.
The child told her teacher, and child services became involved, as they always do and will for any reason.
Eventually it got turned over to the sheriff's office to see what they wanted to do with it. Now enters the grandparents into the equation.
The pushed it hard even against my ex's wishes, and managed to get them to file charges for child abuse and issue a warrant. A warrant I didnt even know i had until christmas time 2010. I was picked up and detained for extradition over it. The following monday I was released, I was informed that they didnt want to come get me. I called my ex, and she told me that she had told them to drop it, we talked and talked, she begged me to forgive her for all that happened, and eventually i did, for some reason I still felt like i couldnt live without her. So we continued to talk up until july of 2010. When something happened, grandmother got curious wondering what these numbers were on the cell phone bill. She confronted my ex and she told her that she had talked to me. Ever since that point I have this "open case" listed publically on my record. After about 10 interviews I discovered that was the reason I couldn't have a job. Who would want to hire a "child abuser" anyway? Here it is febuary its been about 8 months without work. I lost my place, and nearly everything i own, I even lost the will to live. I live with my parents now, and I know im a burden to them. I'm thinking about it everyday. It is tax refund time now, and I have half of what I need for my lawyer to try and fix this horrible mess. He is of the almost certain opinion this will be completely dropped, and I can have a job again, and recover somewhat of a life. If you can help please help, I am a desperate man, and I want my life back, I need it back, I cant take not being able to work, and being a burden to my parents who are dirt poor!

I could beg on here for a lot of things, e.g. Holiday, help for hypnotherapy to loose weight, Plastic surgery for after weight loss, help to pay off car loan, any materialistic things that I would like but don't really need, But no I am not asking for that it would not be right I have to work hard myself for them sort of things as they are not important

What I am asking for is for help to raise money for a months deposit and a months rent so I can private rent a house nearer my family (30 miles away) for two reasons one being that I recently lost one of my grandparents and would like to be nearer to help out if I can and secondly but most important to get my son away from bullies at his school and in the area where we live as just now he is terrified to go to school. I have looked into buying but can't raise the deposit we would need to get a mortgage and the housing waiting lists could take years.
My only option left now is to send him to his Aunts so he can go to school there until I can raise the money myself but It could take months and time is something we don't have as his education is suffering any extra to help with the move etc would be great and once I move If there is anything left I will donate to someone else who needs help or give it to a charity. Can anyone find it in their heart to help me please.

The college I want to go to is pretty much my dream college! It’s so
awesome! It has the best Vet program in my state if not the only
program in my state. It’s most likely the only college that offers
actual vet Med and not just the per-requirements in my state. Their vet
program is what first got me interested in my sophomore year of college.
I got to looking at it and it became the school I most wanted to go to.
It just seems like a really good fit for me. I would really really love
to go here! It has everything I would need. i cannot for the life of me
find another college I would rather go to, but even if I did I would
still need to do this to raise money for my college fund because as you
all know tuition prices are rising every year and it’s getting more and
more expensive to go. I’m 22 now and would really like to get started on
my college career. I’ve been to community college with the help of a
pell grant, but that just isn’t going to cut it. I really have to go to a
university to further my career. I don’t want to be waiting around too terribly long to be
graduating college or even really getting started good. It would mean
the world to me to get to go to college sometime in the near future. My
mental health also rides on going. I’m depressed because I’m not going
and I see what others in my high school graduating class have
accomplished and well it depresses me too because I’m no where near
getting close to getting a job in my field of study. Where as they have
finished school and working in their field or is in the internship
phase. Either way I’m ready to get started on truly accomplishing my
dreams and getting a career. I do not want to end up like my parents and
grandparents and have no college degree even though I want one. I want
to do something they didn’t and what they told me to do if I could and
If I wanted too. If you click the links you can help me get closer to
this goal well dream really.

Well anyway the cost of the college is $25,000 a year, but this doesn’t
include professional costs which will be closer to $40,000 for Vet Med.
Though I’m only looking to get $25,000 for right now. I’ll just want to at least get to go for one year.

Tuition and fees for year are $8,698, Books and Supplies
would be around $1,100, Room and Board will be around $9,992, Other that
they charge will be around $5,166. I should get a pell grant, but I’m
not sure I may not but that will most likely only pay $2,000 if I’m lucky $3,000. I’ve applied to scholarships, but I don’t stand out so I’ll be lucky to even get one if that. With my luck I won’t get one. So I’ll still need a good bit.


So as you can see it will be very
expensive. I will greatly appreciate anything you donate to help me
afford to go to college. I know I most likely won’t get the amount I’m
going for, but I hope to
get most and try to keep from having to take out huge loans.

I don’t to have a huge debt coming out of college if I can help it.

Just one dollar will help.

The college I’m planning on going to is Auburn University and I have been accepted.

i could use some money i found out my grandparents are 100,000 dollars in debt and i want to help them out please help me help them.

hello, a quick background on myself, i am currently 22, taking care of my family as much as i can, i live with my mom, her boyfriend, my grandparents, and 3 little brothers all of which i love dearly, and do whatever i can to help them. recently i've fired from my job and have had no luck finding work again. and i saw so many people around my neighborhood in the same position, i saw so many teenagers running around and getting into trouble with the law and people begging for food. and that's where i got the idea for my business. i know just how to remedy this. i want to build a place that provides somewhere for everyone to go, a place that employs people who seek employment, a place that all these troubled youths can go and put their good talents to use. and get paid for it! maybe they can find themselves here at my business. it would be a wonderful place for the community and hopefully something inspiring to the world. something could expand and spread. it's very exciting to me and i hope you all agree, and see fit to donate to this cause. every single penny counts. and you're all greatly appreciated just for taking the time to read this. if this sounds like something you'd be interested in partnering up with me on, please. do not hesitate to leave a comment with contact info for us to speak further.

My Name is Kathryn. I am 22 years old. I am a single mother of twins. They are 2 and half years old and they are my world. But recently, I have disappointed them and let them down.
At the end of November, I lost both my job and apartment in the very same week. My kids and I were staying with a friend until we no longer could and now they are living with they’re grandparents while I stay with a friend. I don’t get to see them often because they are over 30 minutes away and I have no car. I have been trying to survive for the past month on the last bit of my savings, and that includes supporting my kids from a distance, but now it’s become impossible and I need a miracle. I have no job, no apartment and no money left in my savings. Finding a job has been dreadfully difficult, finding a cheap apartment is difficult with no money, and my bills (phone, storage, food, etc.) are now stacked sky high.
I have pondered ways of trying to make money quick and in a large abundance but it has been impossible. Not to mention, I wasn’t able to have Christmas with my kids because I only had 57 cents left in my savings. This is the lowest time of my life and the hardest because all I want is to have my babies back with me in my own place again. I am only allowed to stay with my friend for another 2 weeks which means I have only 2 weeks to at least come up with enough money for an apartment to have my babies back with me. I am beyond desperate and I need someone/people to hear my plea. My goal is high yes but I will be more than GREATFUL to whoever donates, and so will my babies!

We are grandparents. Parents to a mother who just reached the tender age of 18. She gave birth to two little boys, now aged two years and one year. We took care of and loved both of these boys from birth while mother went through her I don't want this life stage. She has now moved out, filing bogus charges against us and other members of the family, and taking these two darling babies with her. She now uses these boys to control how we visit them. The legal costs of the bogus charges she has filed has completely drained us financially. We are at a point of losing our home, our utilities, and what little sanity we have left. I lost my job because of her tales and my spouse has been cut short on hours. We desperately need help and prayers. All would be greatly appreciated.

I started at a four year university this fall, the first in my family to ever do so. I am a highly independent person and don't feel comfortable begging for money, but I don't know what else to do.
I have been blacklisted and unable to find work, meanwhile I'm unable to pay my rent, buy groceries or school supplies, not even basic toiletries; I have been without toothpaste and toilet paper for 3 weeks. I have no friends that can help, they all either have children or are unemployed and unable to spare any money for me. I don't qualify for any county aid because I made too much money earlier this year, so I have zero help for my medical bills that are now surmounting $15K, my car is going to be repossessed, I'm on the verge of eviction and half starving. My parents cannot help me because they are not in much better financial shape than me, I have not grandparents left and no valid cosigner to acquire an extra student loan. All of this while attending college for nursing, taking a 15 credit course load.
My savings are gone, my bank account is -$483.93 and counting, my landlord is evicting me in December if I can't come up with this month's and December's rent by the first of December. I am reusing everything I can, but am at this point only able to allow myself on very small meal per day or I will have NO food in one week. My cat is starving with me, and we have less than one weeks' food supply left and the food shelf here is so limited I'm on a waiting list. I have no cash, my fiancee's family won't help because they hate me and my fiancee is living two hours away from me, barely getting by as well.

I'm crying my eyes out in the school library typing this. It's the most humiliating and pitiful thing I've done in my life so far but I have no idea what else to do. Please help me. I've asked for help everywhere I should be able to find it but this is my last ditch effort. If this doesn't work, I don't know what I'll do. Please, anyone, anywhere, anything, help me. Anything would be greatly appreciated, even a few cents. I know I'm not going to get out of the situation that I'm in by using this site but all I could hope for was a little relief. Any help and I will consider you my saving grace and do my best to pay it forward when I get done with Medical School, if I make it that far. Please and Thank You for reading my story.

If you want the details of my life came to this, here you go...
I quit my great paying job of three years to concentrate on school more closely in June.
Since school started in August I have had the following happen:
A nervous breakdown caused by an imbalance of hormones from ovarian cysts that I had to seek medical attention for and cost me my job in absences.
Got engaged to the love of my life, and we suffered the loss of a child by ectopic pregnancy on September 9. I had to have emergency surgery as the ER dept. here did not figure out that was the problem until I was nearly dying. They had to remove the fetus, 15% of my left fallopian tube and had to perform a D & C of my uterus. All of this without medical insurance.
Finally got a new job at a local bar waiting tables and was promised 4 days per week after a one month training/probationary period. After a month, my shifts didn't go up but I wasn't contacted about my performance until my boss TEXTED me to have a meeting with him, where he fired me for being "too professional" and refused to elaborate, also informed me that he "extended the training period by two weeks" because he "wasn't sure about my performance" and decided since I was still on probation the last two weeks that he didn't have to pay me for it and never filled my tax information so there is no record of me ever working for him, other than whenever I try to get another job in town I am told that I lied about my work history because I didn't include the job on the list because I didn't exist but when I do, they call and he tell them one of two things: either that I never worked for him and I must be lying and delusional or that I didn't "work" for him, I just trained and wasn't a good "fit" so I shouldn't have put the bar for previous work experience. Keep in mind, this is a small town with a State University in it, and my old boss owns nearly 1/3 of the property and is very well known in the area, therefor: I somehow need to overcome his poor reference to get a job which is proving impossible.

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.

I am getting married in March. I am one of those girls who have been dreaming of my wedding day for as long as I can remember, when I was little all my drawings were of these huge cinderella ballgowns. Sooo fastforward 20 years, one amazing disney world proposal later and about 200 dresses in 4 states later. I am panicking because I don't think I will ever find a dress, when finally I find one. Its beautiful and classy- the dress that will make grandparents cry. There's nothing I don't like about this dress- but I still don't get the feeling that it is THE dress. That night after ordering it and paying the deposite- I have a nervous breakdown. So we head to New Hampshire where I find THE dress- THE dress I have been searching for my whole entire life. It is amazing and has everything I've ever wanted. I loved it as soon as I saw it- but thought it was not going to look as good as the dress I already bought. I was wrong. Looks amazing- just as good as the first dress but I feel like cinderella. I can not stop thinking of this dress. They are two completely differant looks- both princess but one is Kate Middleton the other is Cinderella. I am having 2 weddings- one on a wednesday on the beach in FL, the other is a more formal traditional wedding in CT-more of a fieldy/gardeny affair. So the two dresses each fit one occasion perfectly. I can not choose between the two. My mother thinks buying two is rediculous and will not pay for more than one. I am completely torn and the only thing I can think of is to get both dresses, otherwise I will end up regretting my decision at one of the venues.
Unfortunatly I am a recession graduate- one of the many who upon graduation found myself less employable than a 15 year old, with a PILE of student loans to pay off. I work, but the $ I make now will not allow for an emergency $1500 dollar expense.

Please, please, pleeease help. I know it is a shallow request- but its the one time in my life where I can be selfish, shallow, and vain. I really truly appreciate any help and will pay it forward. Thank you!

Unfortunatly, I have had to sit back for years and years and watch this situation unfold. My parents are 3 bankruptcys in and now in serious limbo with the all mighty IRS. My dad in mid 60's still working his butt off. He is the hardest working, most delightful man you will ever know. Poor guy is in such distress now and you can see it all over his face. Makes my cry. My mom works along side him at his job helping in any way she can be in assistance.

After handing over their 100K retirement to my brother (starving artist) to get his career up and moving, they took a 30K hit from early withdrawl. The 30K on top of taxes previously owed has now increased to a 80K back tax owed to the IRS.

Well, they levied my dad's paycheck yesterday and took everything except $200!! How does anyone live on that? Their electricity bill is $500!

If i had any money to give them, i most absoultly would. They would do anything for my brothers, grandbabies and I. It stinks that i can;t financially float them til they come up with a agreement with the IRS.

Well, now i am at a point where I dont know what I can do for them. I have offered to help sell of some of their valubles to get them some fast cash but they really dont have much of any value.

So, this is a last ditch effort to see if anyone out their has soft place in their heart for 2 grandparents with big hearts but bigger problems!

I figured it's worth a try, right? Any amount could help them buy groceries or pay a bill. Anything!

Please bless them with your ability to be blessed to do so.

Money issues can happpen to anyone in this economy.

Much appreciation to all who read and those who act! Thanks a bilion!!

I am a single mom to 3 kids age 13-8 we came for a visit to see the kids grandparents and my youngest dad called me and told me not to come back. After 8 years of dealing with his medical problems and his drinking addiction. Anyways we are starting over with nothing I do not even have a vehicle a friend came and got me and we were only suppost to be spending the weekend with their grandparents. I have horrible credit due to having fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, IBS, osteoarthritis, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic migraines & depression. I have not worked since 2002 when I was injured at work and had to sue the company but by the time I paid Medicaid back & the lawyer I got a whole $4000 and a surgery that has left me with a permanent handicap due to it never healing right. We are staying with my parents but need are own place ASAP, my youngest daughter needs size 7/8 clothes, my oldest daughter needs 14/16 in shirts and size 3 in jrs. & we desperately need a bed we are sleeping on air mattresses and the queen size one has so many holes in it that it deflates every nite and I end up waking up on a concrete floor. My ultimate dream would be to have a tempurpedic mattress but would settle for any kind of new bed I can not ask for one on freecycle because my parents are worried about bed bugs getting into their house are state has had a bad outbreak of them. I also REALLY need a LAWYER the only income I have is my daughters social security check and I have a LOT of debt and I need 2 file for bancruptcy since I see no other way of digging myself out of the hole. I also will need to find out if I am considered common law married and what I need to do to make sure I have custody of my daughter and her alcoholic father can't get her. If you have read this all the way to the finish Thank You!

hello...my name is misti...i am 35 yrs old and am the single mom of 2 beautiful girls who are my whole life and they are the reason i am here asking for help. a year ago i ended up getting really sick. for 8 months they didnt know what was wrong with me. after 8 months of hospital stays and every kind of test you can think of they finally figured out that i had a fungal infection in my throat that ended up getting into my bloodstream. i had to have surgery and had to have some of my throat cut out. it took about 3 months to heal and im finally better. this sickness caused me to lose my job of 12 years. i ended up losing everything. i had to move in with my grandparents. i have been trying to get a job with not much luck. im trying to live on what little child support that i do get but with trying to help my grandparent with bills and food and keeping my kids with the things they need, there just isnt enough. if i was just me i would be ok but i have my children and they are suffering and they need things i can give them because i dont have enough money right now. if there is anyone out there with a big enough heart to help a mother get by until i can get a job please know that i would greatly appreciate it. it hurts that i cant provide for my children right now and i would do anything for my children even if it means coming here and begging for help. please find it in your heart to not only help me but help my children.

Ok so I'm not going to lie...I feel awkward doing this.

On January 4, 2011 my mother passed away from stage 4 lung cancer. My entire life the only family I have ever known was her and my grandparents, who are now deceased.

Every day is a struggle for me. I feel like I'm drowning. I push myself into my work just to get through the days and to also pay the insane amount of bills I have to pay. If I continue on like this I'm not sure what will happen. Some days it takes all my strength not to just end it. I need a release.

I have always wanted to venture out of the area I live. I need to get away. I need to breathe. I'm not wanting to take an extravagant trip, just a small one.

I understand my situation is not as dire as others, but I refuse to embellish my story. I'm just a lonely girl looking for a friend and an escape.

If you would think you can help or would like to talk more I can be contacted at fizzypop31@gmail.com

Thanks for your time!
