I am a single father of a boy and a girl, who is in desperate need of a blessing. The mother of my two beautiful children left 2 months ago with the car amongst half of our furniture, in a bed bug infested home. I am trying all that I can do to make ends meet, but have hit a rough patch. I am currently having to reside with a couple who have a child of their own in a 2 bedroom apartment, and am looking for any kind of assistance in getting into a new place for myself, my son and daughter. I am looking for work on a constant basis, but have had no luck in this economy; consequently, without a vehicle it's made it even harder.

Only serious inquires only, as this is for my children solely.

God Bless.

My husband left us high and dry said he was tired of supporting a family.I am a single mom with three kids we have been homeless for 3 weeks staying at a motel. But I could not afford it any longer all my money goes to food for my children and showering at a truck stops and the bus to take my children to school. Because of our situation I am no longer able to work 4o weeks so my checks are about 188 a week.It is getting harder and harder. If I could raise enough money to move into a apartment I would be able to work longer hours because I know my children would be somewhere safe while I am working.Tried government assistance but because I do have a job I only qualify for 200 in food stamps. Please help us.

my wife and i constantly fight about money, because there isn't any. She has kids from a previous marriage and her ex doesn't pay child support. I am disabled due to depression and other mental stuff, and was in a bad car accident that causes me to constantly be in pain I am sure I will need back surgery soon. My wife and I tried to have a child together, and he died at birth. Paying for the funeral has been an ongoing thing. We are now expecting another child soon. I need to get a vehicle paid off to free up some money, and my wife wants an addition on the house. With my income, i am never going to be able to make my wife and kids dreams come true. Makes me feel like a loser everyday, and it's getting harder and harder to live with. maybe living has become too expensive for me....

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 just got released from the hospital this week after having been there for a week. I also have a condition called pyoderma gangrenasum which causes debilitating ulcers on my legs. I went in to have a doc see my ulcer because it had gotten to the point where it was painful to walk. They took blood tests and found a slew of other things wrong. They found that I was Anemic, low Vitamin D right off the bat. Upon further tests including colonoscopy, CT scan, Enema and more they found a blockage and a small hole in my colon so I was admitting and pumped with medication. I started feeling better and after a week they finally let me go home. I am still on multiple medications and am struggling with getting things back to normal. My Crohn's disease has made my life a living hell at times. Some days I can't eat without pain, I suffer from arthritis like symptoms that make it painful to walk, it wakes me up at night so I have difficulty sleeping and now on top of that I have become moody and depressed. I am unable to work and have no income. I am in the process of retrying to get disability after being denied because I am only in my 30s and they think I can still work. Stress makes my condition worse and I cant help but be stressed every day. I get very little relief. I have a wonderful fiance who has been struggling to pay for all of our living expenses on his own and it is making his life dramatically harder as well. I need help. I am asking for your grace and kindness right now. It is increasingly difficult to be able to afford just daily items such as soap and shampoo, not to mention medications because I am unable to afford insurance. Please if there is any amount you can give, it would be wholeheartedly appreciated. I am in dire straights right now.. Thank you for taking the time out to read this..

Just trying to get past living paycheck to paycheck-which has been harder and harder to do, now that savings is totally depleted!

Was hoping someone (hopefully lots of "someone's) would help me out by contributing a buck or two (or 5 or 10)to help me out!

I am sure there are some ind people out there that could help me, Please?

Thanks

Hi, My name is Melissa and Im currently out of work. While things are tough my little dog a poodle named Little Bit has been my constant companion. She is the light in my dark world. But its becoming harder to keep her feed and I don't want to have to give her up to the pound. I love her and want to keep her. I know this sounds weird asking for money for this but what can I say, I love her and would do anything for her. Any amount you can give would be greatly appriecated. Thank you for your time and patience in reading this beg

Thank You so very much for your help. Heres my story. I am in my early 30s. I am a mother of two loving kids ages 4 and 9. My husband moved out a year ago after a bout of depression, stating "I love you thats why I cant stand to stay here n watch you die like this!" And it is true anyone who has watched a loved one waste away before thier eyes can tell you it eats your soul. In a way I cant blame him. I have hopes we will someday get our family back together. Untill then I am in this alone, and now find my self here asking you for help.
I have several cronic illnesses. Including scoliosis:Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown. My scoliosis curve got worse, the spine rotated and twisted, in addition to curving side to side. This caused the ribs on one side of the body to stick out farther than on the other side. Severe scoliosis can caused back pain and difficulty breathing. In my case In severe scoliosis, the rib cage may press against the lungs and heart, making it more difficult to breathe and harder for the heart to pump.I also experience harsh neurological affects of Muscle weakness, Numbness and Abnormal reflexes. To save my life I had to have surgery.
Surgery involves correcting the curve (although not all the way) and fusing the bones in the curve together. The surgeon lays bone grafts across the exposed surface of each vertebra. These grafts will regenerate, grow into the bone, and fuse the vertebrae together. The bones are held in place with one or two metal rods held down with hooks and screws, helping to support the fusion of the vertebrae.I went through all this at age 13. But now with the onset of sevral more cronic illness complication from the surgery that once saved my life now slowly kill me.
Years later I began getting sicker and sicker by the time I was 20 my spine was degenerating causing horrible pain, I had to have my appendix removed, then gallblader went bad. We never dreamed these all had a common factor. Doctors just shook their head proclaiming :you are just so young for your body to be failing like this". Eventually it was discovered I have Lupus and severe arthritus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the body' s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy organs and tissue. Lupus can affect any part of the body, causing inflammation and damage in joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, or the brain. More than 90% of people with lupus have skin rashes, often triggered by exposure to the sun, and about half have kidney and lung problems. Because lupus affects the joints, it is considered a rheumatic (arthritis) disease.
Upon this discovery things began to make sense. So doctors now knowing why began a body wide check up to see what all has been affected. One test was A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are present in a section of your bone. Your health care provider uses this test, along with other risk factors, to predict your risk of bone fractures in the future and detect osteoporosis. Bone fracture risk is highest in people with osteoporosis. They found I indeed had osteoporosis at the age of 22. SO now My bones are weaking causing damage areas all over my body, but the most serious being in my spine. Now comes the arthritis/lupus, they see these damaged areas and my own imune system attacks. Eating at the damaged areas creating even more damage, which increases the area the lupus attacks. It is a vicious circle. I have now been treated with medication over 10 yrs. But they can only slow the illness there is no cure, and dure to my scoliosis and the metal rods in my back surgical treatment options are very limited.
The damage is so severe I was decared legally disabled by the age of 23. My only income is SSI. I have to support my children and I on 658.00 a month. Thank God the court issued my ex to pay my rent in lue of child support. I am asking for help to cover upcoming medical bills. In the last 14 months I have had 5 seperate kidney surgery. My right kidney is damaged and I will soon be having a 6th surgery. This one to remove damaged section of the tube that leads from the kidney to bladder. then they will reattach at a higher section of bladder. I will aslo be having several Jaw surgeries. Due to exposure to radiation, osteoperosis a excessive vomiting of stomache acid my teeth are breaking and falling out. The doctor needs to repair what they can and put in inplants for what they cant. This will slow the degineration of my jaw. Without this treatment my jaw is going to cave in. Currently I am only able to eat mushy foods. I have drastically lost weight and my body is stuggling to heal due to the stress, pain and infection. So I hunbly beg of you to help me 1.00 or 50.00 anything would help. These procedures will not only improve my quality of life but aslo help extend my time here on earth just a little ehile longer. I just want to be with my kids as long as I can.Whith each dollar you donate its like adding an hour to my life.....What would you give for a few more hours with the ones you love?

Just got out of a 3 year codependent relationship where alcohol was chosen over me when it came down to it.

I'm withdrawing from my addictions to alcohol and cigarette (two months and 3 weeks tomorrow!), and I have most of what I need.

My problem is that I came to Portland Oregon with a guitar that within a few days was broken and stolen in an act of betrayal.

It's been my dream to move to a city and make music for a long time, but this has been put on hold, and now it is harder to make money, and I can't work a conventional job right now because of my withdrawals.

Can you help me out? Anything would be good.

Hi there:

I now realized that my financial woes are much worse than before. Now my state forced us to now spend $282.00 in a now state mandated Medicaid spendown that will take a good chunk of our monthly checks that both my husband and I make together. Our combined total is $2,114.00. According to the state, they claimed "We make way beyond the limit". But one thing they don't understand that other expenses takes a good bite of our checks also. Rent is $1,200.00.00. Cell phones, $170.00. Cable/phone/internet, $190.00. Leaving me/us with little or noting to my/our names. What's worse is he is in a nursing home and it's stressfull enough for me already. Carfare is also expensive to see him every day and it all adds up. My family put more financial pressure to help them also and makes me feel small inside because of what I get each month. It's difficult to have substancial amount to for any entertainment purpose. I hate to go anywhere empty. My pets did not get any of their shots because our finances are high and we can't afford it. With all that I had mentioned above, I'm seriously and desperately need financial help at this time. Whatever I'm getting every will never get me by and I'm barely hanging on a string struggling to make ends meet and I get little or no financial help anywhere else, please. I can't live like this. I can't stand when other put any financial pressure on me. Medical bills are now harder to swallow and I can't hanldle it. The rent is donwright high still and I the rent is outrageously high. Please, I desperately need help right now. I have no one to turn to. Thank you so much. Thank you and God bless.

I feel like such a fool to even be writing this. I moved from Baltimore, MD to live with my boyfriend and his parents out in El Paso, TX. I was told by my boyfriend that all I had to do was clean up behind myself- which sounded to be a piece of cake... but I was wrong. I got out here only to be told by his parents I will have to take care of the animals around the house if I want a roof over my head and food to eat. There are 2 pigs, 13 dogs, 26 cats and more than 40 sheep & ram (I can take pictures for proof if need be!). I have to do this work alone. I'm not much of an animal person so you can see where this is heading. I've been taking care of them and now I also have to help clean the entire house- but his mom happens to be a hoarder so it's a LOT harder than it sounds. And to put the icing on the cake- His mom called me a nigger on the first day of moving down here. I'm at my wits end and I need to get back home as soon as possible. My mom would pay my way back but I come from a poor family so that's not even possible. I don't have a car to move any of my items back with me so I'd have to go through a moving company. I need at least $750 to get back... even a dollar will help.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.

Hello, my name is Jay. In 2005, I was injured at work. I broke my back, and I live in pain everyday of my life. While I was fortunate not to lose the use of my legs, the pain associated with my neuropathy, nerve damage and spondylosis makes it impossible for me to work. I receive a small amount of money every week through workman's compensation, but it is a mere fraction of what I used to make. With the cost of living increase in the last 7 years, it makes paying the bills even harder. I am maxed out on all my credit cards, and I am about to lose my home. Within the year, my last forbearance for my student loans will end, and i will have to start paying for my college loans again, something I just can't afford. I used to be too proud to beg, but I don't know what else to do. A little money can go a long way for me and my family. If I could just pay off a couple credit cards, I may be able to turn things around. Thank you for your consideration.

I developed perhaps the ultimate in 'sustainability' based perma culture farming with almost no tilling required here in Oregon. I am not big on all the sustainability jargon but what I have done is created a kind of natural farm factory that I would like to see reproduced on a larger level. It produces high carbohydrate value food with almost no irregation although some was required to get it started and revolves around an ancient plant speices friend of man-kind the Chestnut Tree. Believe it or not chestnut trees can produce upto 2,000 lbs each of nuts a year if spaced at least 40 feet apart. There is a story and a book on how to do what has been discovered here on a small farm at a very much larger and perhaps international basis. The economy and use of the Chestnut is a bit of a harder sell than wheat , rice or corn. It is the lowest fat tree nut in existence. It is also glutten free. The farm still has nuts for sale from last year thanks to their being no organized major distribution network for our product like other basic crops and growing competition (all good for the long run) Money or new land to develop in the Pacfic Northwest is sought after. We have many nuts to plant and many seedlings ready to transplant and we have other types of plants that play a role in the development. Inexpensive cleared land that needs to be replanted in the Northwest is sought after for this purpose. Land that is inexpensive and not suitable for vinyards or other uses other than slow timber growth would be perfect but at an affordible price please if possible. The amazing thing about chestnut trees is their tap roots can allow them to self irregate in places where it seems there is no water to resourse at all at the surface. donations accepted as well as land donations/ participation. Chestnut trees also have value as wood and timber as a hard wood. In some areas once timber is cut down in the Northwest most of the value of the land is gone which would be a perfect time for us to go in and buy iti to reforest it with an eye to new permaculture farming. please help if you can.

This hurts to ask nothing seems to be going right
63 yrs old wife left. trying to start my own business can't live on disability. need someone to take a chance and help. no help from the sate seems like they just make it harder. when you try for extra help from ssa they want you to move out of your home and want you to live on less then what you are getting for ssdi. trying to get a head but just does not seem to work fighting with the VA for PTSD but that takes forever. if i can get help i will pay it forward if someone feels inclined to help i will pass it on the world would be better if people worked together. thanks will appreciate any help i can receive

I was a successful woman who was economically independent my entire life. My daughter is an honors student. As a result of my bad judgement and trusting the wrong persin, I ended up financially ruined. I am trying to get back on my feet and support my daughter's efforts to have a better life. I should have been able to do this on my own as I did her whole life. I do not want her to have to pay for my mistakes. I am working 106 hours a week and commuting between two towns 36 miles apart with no sleep. I can sleep a few hours on Sunday and Tuesday and Thursday before I go to work 'round the clock. I am only writing this because I am worried that it is too much. I am 56 and a cancer survivor and my daughter has no other family members whom she can depend on for any kind of support. She does not know I am writing this. I just want to help her and give her the help she deserves. Any small amount would be appreciated. She has worked hard and has a 3.9 grade point average and is working her way through college. I really want to help her and I can't work any harder. She is studying to be a teacher and is a very hard worker. I want to be able to help her at this important time in her life and have nowhere else to turn.

To whom it may concern,

Stated Goal: $2,000.00 (by March 21st, 2012) for tuition, books and some new pants to get my academic career going... Breakdown of $1,288.33 for tuition/fees, approximately $400.00 in textbooks/supplies for the quarter, and the remainder for some pants and necessary travel expenditures for the first month of school.

I know you have many options with where your hard-earned money goes - some may make you feel GREAT about shedding a few pounds in the wallet, and others will leave you feeling downright dirty. I know this, because I was once in your shoes; money in my wallet, left only to my vices as to where to spend it. I never felt right about just handing it over to someone who, in my opinion, would merely go drink it away, drug it away, etc. It's funny how life throws these things all back into your face sometimes, and as such I find myself in need and hoping that the right person(s) will have the faith to invest in me - that's right, I said INVEST.

I don't believe in a handout, but I DO believe that sometimes we fall a bit harder than we are prepared to do and as such are put into situations that we neither expected nor are comfortable with. I opened a business that was going rather well for its first 7 months of operation. Then, through an anonymous post from someone online that "appeared" to be from my company, me and my business partner got black-balled from the industry (VERY political/bureaucratic in that particular industry). When this went under, though, it took me and everything I own with it - my vehicle, my home and much of my personal belongings. Prior to that, I spent 11 years on active duty military status in order to protect and serve this country. Yes, I've earned the G.I. Bill and fully intend to use it for its designed purpose. TheMy defining issue, however, is that the Bill pays for school on a month-to-month basis, at the END of each month of training. For example, my school begins this April 2nd so I cannot claim my benefits until the end of April, which will cause my first G.I. bill payment to get sent out in early May. The school, however, requires payment up-front and as explained above, I currently do not have the capital to get started. Once I've started, the Bill will sustain me, therefore I merely ask for assistance in getting the first quarter of classes paid, including books. I have a great academic history, and this is truly where I excel. My purpose is to some day acquire a PhD in pharmaceutics and do research to find new and improved medications for the benefit of the masses.

As for the pants, I have two pairs remaining and both have holes in the legs and crotch. While these DO technically work for all intents and purposes, it gets a bit breezy on these cold days and nights, and is probably unsightly (at best) to any of my would-be professors who may not appreciate an instructor's-eye-view of these things. As such, I figure I might like to buy a couple of pairs prior to matriculation.

Thank you, in advance, to any and all who assist me on this endeavor.

I have recently went through a divorce because my wife decided to break up with me because she made more money than me. I helped her buy a business, and as soon as she started seeing her money roll in, she kicked me to the curb. My parents are both deceased so now I have noone to turn to for assistance. I hold a good job and have been working there for 5 years so far, but student loans are the only things preventing me from receiving a personal loan. I am living in my vehicle because I do not have enough money to catch up on the bills she stuck me with, and this is the only way to survive and pay them. I need 6000 to help pay off these payday loans, and pay first months rent, a deposit, and a past due electric bill. Please find it in your heart to lend me a hand, so that I can finally get a good nights sleep, cook a decent meal, and be rested for work. And most off all, move on with my life. I had never seen this coming, I am hurt and all of this money problem is just making things harder and harder and putting a strain on my job.

I am a 38 year old man with a wife, 3 step kids and 2 children of our own having been married 12 years.
Times have become harder and harder recently, we both work long hours, my wife had 2 jobs but now only has one. We don't see each for long each day as I work days and my wife works nights. Neither of us are on good money and we are struggling more and more to make ends meet.
We have arrangements with our creditors and are behind on our mortgage about £5000.
Any help would be massively appreciated to get us out of this stressful and unhappy situation.

I had a pretty good life up until 2007. It was then that my partner in life and business(we had a roofing company and the bar) decided to turn to methamphetamine because he thought it would make him work harder. I tried for a year to get him to quit. I finally left him in 2008. The roofing company was in my name. Out of the goodness of my heart I kept it going so that he would have a source of income. Little did i know then that he would quit working legitimately(he did it under the table for cash) and quit giving me money to pay the bills for roofing company. I had to close it down but in the end my credit was ruined and he didn't care. At the time the restaurant/bar was also struggling due to the economy. I put myself on the schedule and cut my employees back to the bare minimum. I work along side of them trying to keep things going. I have a personally held contract that I have been paying since 1998. It was a lease option after the first 5 years. I rolled it over to purchase in 2003. I had never been late making the $3000.00 a month payments until 2011. I had to cut the payments short in order to pay other bills. Business was just down because of the economy. We live in a small town. We love to gossip. It was through this gossip that I heard that the contract owner(who doesn't even live in this state!) is going to try and foreclose on us. I have been doing this for 14 years. I have a good track record. I just need help at this point and I'm not too proud to beg!! I really need donations to get caught up and keep me and my employees working. I am so close to being done with my contract that I don't want to give up easily. I cannot go to a bank because of my credit and she will not refinance my contract. My only hope is that I can get enough help from good hearted people who read this and decide to make a donation. It won't go unrewarded. I would love to be able to help others out who are in my position. I know in my community alone there are lots who need it. So please be generous and help me. I will in turn help others. Besides paypal feel free to send donations to: Save Our Bar! 185 rosebrook road Chehalis, Wa. 98532. Thank-you for reading and God Bless.
