I am begging for my friend. Lisa is a wonderful mother of 4. She has had a tough life and had to overcome many hardships, one of the biggest was helping her 5 year old daughter battle leukemia. She is separated from her emotionally and physically abusive husband and raiding her two youngest children alone with no financial help. She was just diagnosed with an extremely rare form of uterine cancer and had to undergo two very major surgeries and is now recovering.
Lisa has done so much for her family and friends over the years, she deserves to have something given back. She is in very serious financial trouble right now and her utilities have been shut off. She has not been able to work and her ex is not helping. Any financial help would be appreciated. Her dream is to take her children on a vacation to Universal Studios in Florida. Her children have been so brave and supportive of her, she would like to give back to them.

Hello BegsList. My name is Chris. I'm 19 years of age, and I live in Philadelphia. At the age of 18, I escaped an abusive household to enter the adult world. I am afflicted with autism and severe ADHD. I don't let those setbacks get to me though- I'm enterprising and constantly looking for employment. I finally had a good place- I found a well-paying position at Walgreens, and they transferred me into the Philadelphia market. Not three months after arriving, I was unexpectedly laid off. Due to some funky requirements in the rules, I was not able to draw unemployment. I have been diligently hunting for jobs ever since that fateful day, but unfortunately my efforts have proven fruitless. I have volunteered most of my time to a small non-profit when I'm not job searching. We're a small interfaith group that hits the streets with a message of love and peace for all, along with participating in several community service projects and education programs. We are currently experiencing a whole host of financial hardships as a whole. My beg is two pronged: On one hand, I am three months behind on my rent and on the verge of eviction. On the other hand, I am devoted to making my community better and making people a little happier through the non-profit. This is a last resort for me, as I've exhausted all other channels. Please help me out. Someone's gotta be out there. I thank you for taking the time to read this.

We are a family of 3, me, my wife, and our 14 year old daughter. I am self-employed and run a publishing company, my wife is a pharmacy tech, and our daughter is a freshman in high school. My wife and I were arrested and incarcerated for contraband that was placed in our vehicle at the US border and we are currently fighting our case while maintaing our innocence. During this time we have suffered financial hardships trying to recover from lost income and paying legal fees. This month we are short on our rent by $600 and are humbly asking for any help we can get. Thank you and God bless.

I know this is a common problem faced by many students but I never thought I would be in this situation as well but due to the economic hardships faced by my family and I, I need to muster enough money to pay for my textbooks for future semesters and every book is very expensive (some cost over $250)if generous fellows can donate $5-10 each, I would greatly appreciate the help.

thanks for the aide

To anyone who reads this, I want you to know that I am ashamed to be doing this but I have no where else to turn. My family has endured some hardships this year that now is resulting in the loss of our home of 17 years. My husband and I lost our evcavating business that we owned and operated for the last 16 years due to the housing market here in Florida. Then on aster Sunday, our 16 year old son was in a motorcycle accident that put him in the hospital for over a month, he endure 5 operations and had half of his left foot amputated. He is coming along, but it has been tough. Our daughter and her 3 children now live with us also and their deadbeat father pays nothing toward their support. We have been unable to even buy Christmas gifts this year. On top of everything else, my husband is very ill and in and out of the hospital and to ill to keep a job much less even find one. I am the only income at this time, and we have fallen behind on our mortgage because of all of this. Our lender has given us until Dec. 28th to come up with the past due payments of 1435.00 or they are defaulting our loan. This is the second time this year that this has happened! I am asking anyone who has the means to help, to please find it in your heart to help us, we will be out on the streets, we have nothing left to sell and our credit is ruined. I don't know what else to do. I can only promise that I will help someone else as soon as I am able to.Please, Dear God, send me an angel, I am beside myself with worry. Christmas will come again next year for the children, our home is the best gift that we can all receive. God Bless you all!1

I don't want to take up a lot of your time by detailing the hardships my family has endured. What I will say is, I am a single dad of three wonderful children, and yes, I need your help. I realize things are tough all over and most of you are not in a position to spare even the change in your pocket. But for those of you that are, even if it is only $1, anything would certainly help a great deal. Whether it is monetary or a heartfelt prayer I'de like to thank you in advance for your help. God Bless...

We are in need of assistance. My husband works full time and I have been a full time student for over 2 years. With me going back to school has put a financial burden on our family along with having 3 adult children facing their own hardships and needing our financial help and assistance. We have utilities that are past due, credit cards are maxed, insurance is due, and we have basically stretched our finances too thin. Any little bit would be greatly appreciated and we will pay it forward.

I am a single working mother of 3 currently pursuing my bachelors degree. I am working fulltime and attending college all the while being a fulltime mother. I am receiving no help from their father, but I do have a pending child support case that was postponed until late December due to his lack of cooperation.

In the meantime, it has been financially challenging for me to maintain my household. Besides the necessity of rent and utility bills I am solely responsible for childcare, food expenses, medical bills, transportations, clothing, etc. Despite the difficulties, my children are not aware of the hardships that our family facing.

I am a single mother of two high school aged children (15 & 17) seeking immediate assistance to pay my debts, bills and secure affordable housing for my family again. We were displaced in April from our home of 5 years.

My family was involved in an automobile accident (not our fault, but thankfully no injuries)in January of this year in the only vehicle our family owns and while it is still drivable and in need of repair, I am still settling the outstanding claim (for the past 8 months) with the other person's insurance company who hit us, which includes fighting in court to recover damages.

Additionally, my income has dropped drastically due to loss of work and we are barely surviving on $500 a month.

Unforeseen hardships, deaths in our family, my childrens' education, lack of involvement from their father and other financial strains continue to take a huge toll on us and our ability to maintain a sustainable home. It seems bleak at times to feel as though we have no sense of real security in our lives. And, it serves only to divide us, which makes it even more difficult for any of us to stay together, focused, driven and motivated..

I am struggling to find sustainable employment to no avail and we had no choice except to move in with a family friend who is retired and living on a fixed income and struggling to save his home from foreclosure. Our combined contributions do not adequately cover the expense of managing the home, but there is little recourse to either of us at the moment to change the situation. We have only patched the situation, not repaired it. It still feels as though the boat is sinking....

I have never sought this type of assistance before and while it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable seeking this help, I feel I have no other choice but to BEG for immediate relief before something drastic happens to permanently alter our lives forever in ways I do not want to even imagine. I cannot allow what is happening to us (be it pride or pity) destroy our hope, my children and their vision for the future. We must turn our situation around to restore balance back into my family's life. Any generosity would be an eternal blessing...

I don't know where else to turn. I'm hoping that there are people out there kind enough and in a position to help me in my desperate situation. Let me give you a bit of a look into my life.....I have two beautiful sons, 9 and 11.They are absolutely wonderful and they mean the world to me. Unfortunately I am dealing with an unbearable amount of hardships and I cannot give them any of the things they deserve.

I lost my job due to the business unexpectedly closing and soon after, fell VERY ill. I am trying to get the proper care and diagnoses that I so desperately need in order to properly care for my children but cannot seem to find anyone to help me. I have state insurance and it is next to impossible to find a doctor who is actually willing to invest some time into finding out what is wrong with me.

I cannot work a regular job because of being so ill. I have skills in computers and websites, but the job market for that is not very good. I also have college degrees in IT and administration. I am willing to work from home, but there again, no work is available that I can find, but I put in applications daily. We are receiving food stamps, but we are not eligible for anything else. I have no credit card debt or bank loans, but my medical expenses are well into the thousands.

I have tried to get on disability but was denied because I don't have a proper diagnoses from a doctor. It is believed by some of the doctors I have spoken to that I may have severe epilepsy, but in order to get a diagnoses I would need to see a bunch of different specialists and undergo several tests, which my insurance will not cover and I do not have the money for.

I'm a single mom, which makes all of this so much more difficult to deal with. I don't have any friends or family who can help me. I am reaching out hoping to find any kind of help possible. I just don't know what else to do. I feel so helpless, all I want is to be here for my children and be able to provide the things they need. I'm the only one they have in the whole world and I feel like I'm failing them.

I pray every day that I have the strength to keep pressing on but I'm getting really scared because my health is quickly deteriorating. Any donations to help me and my children, be able to afford proper health care, and pay off my debts, would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read. God bless!

YOU CAN MAKE A FELLOW HUMAN BEING VERY HAPPY!
Being HAPPY is what life's about.
I've been plodding along in dead-end jobs for 46 years now and am so tired of being UNHAPPY! I just wish I could wake up and not have to worry about how I was going to make it to the end of the month. I'm not a lazy person at all and am reasonably intelligent yet I cannot seem to keep my head above water. I have never been the most outgoing or self-confident person in the world but have attempted to appear more than I am whilst inside I constantly battle a war with my self esteem and find it difficult to cope with everyday life. I would love to be able to rid myself of my financial burden and concentrate on improving myself and my life.
If everyone who reads this were to send me some money, no matter how little or how much, I would eventually have enough to make myself and my family very HAPPY. Imagine how HAPPY I could be. I could give up my horrible job and begin to ENJOY life for a change.
If you have any spare money and would like to make a difference in the life of an average guy, send me some and I will be forever GRATEFUL.
I'm not jumping on the band wagon or looking to get rich quick, I would just like to be debt-free and in a position to provide a comfortable life for my family. Every dad wants to give his kids a good life and I've got twin daughters who are still only toddlers and have yet to experience life and all its hardships. If I could make their lives a little bit easier I would be a very HAPPY man.
You may be as badly off as I am yet occasionally still give something to a charity and say to yourself,"I don't even know if this money will go to whom it is intended". Well if you send it to me I will receive it and I will use it as intended.
You may be getting a divorce after a long and painful marriage and rather than let the person who has caused you so much pain take half of everything you have, send some of it to me, a fellow human being, who you will make extremely HAPPY.
You may have loads of cash and don't know what to do with it, send me some and I will put it to good use, I promise.
I've applied for jobs that pay more and that I could definitely do but I never hear back from anyone. These days you can't even get to speak to a person - everything is done by computers.
I don't want to give you a sob story but the recent upheaval in my life has caused my family and me considerable stress, eventually causing my wife and me to separate. I am determined to re-unite my family and give my kids a mommy and a daddy. I have run out of options and so I am asking you for help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this article and remember any contribution you make will be making a fellow human being very HAPPY.

My husband and I own our own business because we were both laid off of our job. We have been facing some hardships this month and really need assistance with our car note. I am behind and they are threating to reposses my car if I do not pay the amount requested. My family uses this car as our only source of transportation and it would be detrimental if we lost the vehicle.I could not take my kids to school or daycare and we would not be able to work. The business we currently own is going through a really hard time right now because we have no new clients. I also have a transportation business on the side and right now that is our only source of income, and we use the car for that job. I know God has great things in store and after we get over this month I truly feel we will be back on our feet. Right now my family just needs the help of someone, thanks so much in advance.

I am using this as a last ditch effort to avoid loosing our home. Due to many hardships, my wife's employment closed, then had a number of medical bills all at once. I understand this is a tough time for everyone. If there is anyone out there that has the means and the desire to help us, we would love to answer any questions you might have. At this point we need about $30,000 to keep our home. We would not be in this position if our attorney had re-affirmed our mortgage, but since he didn't, we can't qualify for a loan modification. Thank you in advance for any help anyone might provide.

Dear Anyone,

I was someone who took pride not to beg but I had lost my job of 10 years as a Drafter as well as my unemployment insurance. I am begging anyone who can assist me to help pay my IRS and state taxes as well as 1 credit card. I owe $3000.00 but I highly doubt anyone has the heart to do it in this sad and cold world. I am ready to put my life to an end all because of hardships not being able to find my career or purpose in life. I thank whoever or whatever they can offer if they can

Soon to be out on the streets..have two children, I lost my job it's been over a year and I haven't been able to find work anywhere. I have been begging for work and can't get a break. My husband is doing the best he can; however, his job cut his hours drastically to the point where we lost our car and is now about to lose our house. We are facing foreclosure and family members can't help, because they are barely making ends meet as well. We went to DSS and they can't help us even though we are facing so many hardships right now. We received a one time food voucher thank God. Anyone, PLEASE open your heart and give what you can. I don't know where to turn to and I found this site out of desperation. Trying to remain optimistic, but desperate to get assistance this was my last option. God Bless...

First off, I was aware of these types of websites until I started to search the web for financial help. And, I'm not really one to just put myself out there like this. But with struggling times come desperate measures. I'm a 38 year old single female and I've been struggling to stay afloat with my accumulated credit card debt of $30,000. I had a good job that I started working at back in 2000 but because of the economic hardships in California and downsizing of companies I was laid off back in 2008. I was just barely getting by on my unemployment benefits until I could find a job...but the job outlook in California is pretty bleak, especially in my town where the unemployment rate is about 17%. I've been able to stay on top of paying my credit card bills on time but can only afford to pay the minimum which barely touches the actual debt I owe after the interest charges and other fees. It's very discouraging to know that my whole unemployment check goes just to interest fees and I have very little money left over to buy the neccessities for myself. And to make things worse I've exhausted my unemployment insurance and I'm still unemployed. Nowadays, even to work in retail you need some kind of experience relating to the job you're applying for. I borrowed $5,000 from my friend back in August after my checks ran out because I wanted to stay on top of paying bills until I could find a job but still I can't find a single thing. I want to go back and go into being a pharmacy tech...but that means paying for school with money that I don't have :( I've looked into filing for bankruptcy but am scared of losing my house because it's the only memory that I have of my dad. It's my parents' home and when my father died back in 1994 the property was transferred to me. It's not an extravegent house and only has about 750 square feet of living space but it's enough for me. And it does have its flaws like leaking roofs and doesn't have a central heating or cooling system, but still, it is a home and it's livable and but most importantly it's a piece of my dad. I want to get back on my feet, pay off my debt without having to file for bankruptcy because I know that would also affect my job hunting, as companies today also do background checks for potential hires and that would already be a strike against me. I want to fix the leaky roofs in the house and I would like to return back to school to focus on my education. I know that so many people, out of the kindness of their own heart, are willing to help strangres out in need. I want to get my debts paid off because it's stressfully wearing me out and I just don't know who to turn to for help. Any type of donation would help very much and I will be ever so appreciative and grateful for any type of help that comes my way. I would even be elated in getting a telecommuting job if anyone is willing to hire me. Thank you so much for reading my story.

Hello, my name is Martin. My partner and I are currently facing some financial hardships. About 6 months ago, our vehicles were brutally vandalized while parked in our driveway, and subsequently the safety of our family was threatened in our own home and neighborhood all because we happen to be "different". In the coming months we chose to relocate to a different part of town in the interest of safety, however, in order to do so we had to pay a large sum of money to get out of our lease. The cost of fixing the vandalized vehicles and relocating set our finances into turmoil.

My partner and I both have very big hearts, and have over the years taken in various homeless animals. We have 2 cats, 2 dogs and a horse, all of which were rescue animals, prior to coming to live with us. Our pets our like our kids, and with money so tight there are days when our animals eat but we do not. In addition, we recently took in an 18 year old newly "out" young man, whom was thrown out of his parents home because of his sexuality. We are giving him a place to live and supporting him, best we can, as he begins college.

Both of us have good full-time jobs, but after all of the mouths are fed, rent is payed and so forth, there is not much left. I'm somewhat embarrassed to be posting this; asking for help, but it is our last resort to keep our family together. If you could spare anything, we would be forever grateful! Even 50 cents or 1 dollar could help. Thank You, and Gob Bless!

Greetings in Jesus Name.Amen.

I am a believer of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I am living here in Liberia,Africa. I write to ask for your help to me. I am having some hardships in my life, things are a bit tough on me and need your help to get out of it.

I am finding it very hard to get people turn to my call for assistance because i mentioned Africa. It is my prayer that My Lord Jesus Christ Will bless someone to help me through.

May God be with you.

Yours In Christ
