Hello due to unforseen reasons I got behind on my mortgage and when I had most of the money to pay Chase they did not want to take it but they wanted all of the money at once. They now have a sell date on my home for the 5th of next month and I have until May 29 at 5pm to have all the money plus lawyer fee totaling 9,155.30. I have 3,000 of it and my twin said she can come up with 1,200 of it. Please can someone help me I will pay you back. Checking around to different shelters has caused me anxiety that i never experienced. As the days goes by i cant function nor think because I feel helpless with this date clicking away. I can show proof to any donor or they can meet me at Chase bank. I am also a certified professional massage therapist and cosmetologist, I can also pay you back with services. Please please help

Greetings, my family was recently victimized by a terrible theft. My mother and sister had all of their jewelry taken. Much of it had sentimental value class rings, family heirlooms, etc. There were also a number of electronics taken, some with family photos. I also lost a number of things. I was saving up money but that's gone and now it seems like a nightmare. But mostly I feel awful for my mother and sister. I have never felt more helpless and am doing what I can to help my family get through it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou so much.

Hi,

I just completed my legal studies and I would like to sit for the July Bar. After taking out a six figure debt, I am unable to get a loan to cover the cost of taking the bar in July. The reason I have been refused a private loan is because of my high student loan balance(ironically)

I am not a lazy person and I have worked my entire way through law school to help support my family and pay my bills. Now I feel helpless as I struggle to move onto the next phase of my life. $1500 would make all the difference in the world to me right now. .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully Addressing,
The Concerned Person

Hi Sir, Please! arrange the amount 1500 U.S. dollar for me as loan so that I may hire a hitec detective (e.g. Mr. Jay @ detectives.com) who can collect all the required evidences of people harassing me & spoiling my life, for the police to action and rescue me from worst torture & immense losses of time & money.

Sir, This is Danish Hussain, mechanical engineer. Sir, I am listening voices in my home, office, library, on streets, with me all the time, 24hrs. A group of influential people are teasing me with words & statements. Am helpless. The teasers are teasing me with a super station sort device & this teasing from people goes with me whereever I go, wherever I am. They can listen me, see me and generate sound in my home, office, shop, streets everywhere, those sounds are recordable and am having videos of all that but police needs strong evidences who the teasers are, from where they are teasing me as no one in the video. Losses faced by this teasing are 8 jobs (as soon as I get job I lose it because the boss finds I am always lost, delivering no work just time passing in my probation), interviews (for the same reason), marriage proposals, no earnings for big durations. No improvement in living status whatever earned in 1 or 2 months get spent as I become jobless again. Next month, will be joining a Chinese firm. But before that, please help by arranging a loan for me else will be soon fired again. Please! arrange the amount 1500 U.S. dollar for me as loan so that I may hire a hitec detective (e.g. Mr. Jay @ detectives.com) who can collect all the required evidences of people harassing me & spoiling my life, for the police to action and rescue me from worst torture & immense losses of time & money. I am in Karachi, Pakistan.Thank you very much.

I look forward for your reply. Bye Bye. Take Care

Am waiting for your reply.
Tenderly.
Mr. Hussain

My name is Renuka.I am living in Sri Lanka.I have 2 sons.Since 2 years in suffering with Heart trouble,Diabetes,Highblood Pressure and Arthritis.I m in difficult and helpless situation now.I can't do any work Any work withmy sickness.I havent any help from anyone.I will be thankful to you. When you can give me a help to buy my medicine.

I have anxiety disorder, sometimes raging agoraphobia and also fell in 2007, causing two vertebrae to bulge and also did some nerve damage to my left arm. I suffer from severe back pain, hip and leg pain everyday and I drop things with my left had constantly! I tried and tried to push on, through the pain and depression I had but finally cracked and I was laid off in 2010 from my job for not being able to handle the pain or the pressure and stress and shortly thereafter met a guy who I will call Jake. Jake has panic disorder, agoraphobia and dependent personality disorder. His family had abandoned him, his friends had become fatigued with his panic attacks. He was in a bad situation being abused by someone who was taking advantage of his disabilities. My mother had over 20 years of suffering this type of illness and was in an abusive marriage, and I had had my own issues with anxiety and depression so I felt I had to help. I invited him to come live in my home. I told him I would do all I could to help. I arranged some free therapy. Introduced him to my friends and family. Gave him all the kindness and love I had in me.

I had hoped it would help. It has not. He is still depressed, still agoraphobic and the worst part for me, still has dependent personality disorder. Now for those who don’t know what this is, well it means I can’t leave the house without him and naturally he can’t leave the house without me. We have not been more than 50 feet from each other in the year he has been here. He can’t go and do anything like movies, bowling, shopping or anything like that so I can’t either, when I myself feel able to do any of those things that is. Don’t feel sorry for me though. I have fallen in love and this is a small sacrifice to make sure he is okay.

We both applied for disability five months ago but it is still working through the process. My unemployment ran out six weeks ago so we have no more income and to make matters worse my father who has early onset dementia with psychotic features had no where else to go so he is living with us now. This has all put serious strain on me. How to pay bills with no money? How do I help this man I love get better? How do I get my sick dad, who has no one else to help him get to appointments with doctors and therapist when I can’t leave the house myself? How do I get better?

I am in serious need of help. I need to be able to at least keep the house and keep the lights on. I don’ t know what to do. I am lost. There is no help for someone who tries to help others. I called the department of family and children services and asked if there was any government program or even charity they knew of that I could apply for help with and they acted like I was a crazy person. She was like, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what to do for you.”

I am out of savings and my bills are due. I have appealed to family and friends but they are all strapped themselves. I have sold my van, a computer and anything else I had around my house to survive but I am tapped out. Now I am here, depressed and hurting all the time, my friend is here, depressed and we both are having a lot of anxiety. My dad is here and has no where else to go and I am so scared. I have never been in a situation where I had not only my life but the lives of others in my hands and I can’t do anything.

I feel helpless, hopeless and sometimes think it’s not worth going on. I just need some help making my bills for now until disability comes through. Then some of my stress will be reduced. Some that is. But that is most pressing right now. Like I said, keeping the lights on and a phone and car going in case of emergencies.

On top of everything I feel so alone. I have to try and smile because I don’t want my friend or dad to worry. I won’t them to know I am gonna be here for them and not let them down. But I don’t know where to turn to get the help so that does not happen. I am afraid. I am scared. I am depressed and stressed. I need help.

Please if you read this have mercy upon me, my husband left, I broke my foot, I need help, I've been praying for god to intervene on my behalf and help me, I found this site, I don't know it's god will for you show me kindness, however, i do know somewhere in this world there has to be someone who's a christian, following Gods example and will help me to pay my rent and buy food, please, help me, I don't know where to turn anymore, i feel so helpless,GOD IF YOU LISTENING HAVE MERCY UPON ME TONIGHT, I NEED YOUR HELP THROUGH THIS SITE IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN.

We are a hard working 51 year old couple that has never asked for help in our lives. As a matter of fact, we have always prided ourselves in helping others whenever we could. We are in uncharted territory now that we are the ones in need for help. Being in construction, the economy has left us all but helpless. We find work whenever and however we can, but we need help getting over the hump until work gets better. We have rolled our change, sold our furniture, sold our cars, used all of our life savings and we are at the end of our rope. We haven't had a Christmas in five years, or seen a doctor in longer than that. Please help us by making a donation so that we can keep a roof over our heads until things get better. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We are keeping the faith that things will get better and that there are still good people in this world willing to help. Thank you all and God Bless.

My Fiance is in the infantry for the United States Marine Corps and is over in Afghanistan at the moment. Our wedding is May 5th 2012 and we do not have the money to afford a simple wedding. I have been trying to plan the wedding since he has left for war. I thought it would be a great and fun way to keep busy while he is away but I have found out that I am doing this all on my own. I am negative in my own a count and he is almost down to only $100. I work full time but it is only enough to get by with bills. The wedding is coming up very soon and I have yet to be able to afford his wedding band, the full amount of my dress, decorations, the invatations etc. He deserves an amazing day coming home from this deployment and I dont know how we will pay for this wedding let alone a little vacation/honeymoon together. I am feeling helpless and weddings should be fun and exciting to plan and I dont know what to do. My mother is willing to help with what she can but she has been sick for going on 12 years and has no way of income. Her teeth are rotting and falling out of her mouth because they keep denying her health benefits. She is the only one willing to help us with any dollar she has and she needs it herself. I hate to have to write this but sometimes you have to humble yourself when there is nowhere else to turn...

I was raised by a single mother and I live in a 4room house with my mom, sister and brother. I enrolled at a university in 2009 but my brother lost his job and i was excluded the following year cause i couldnt pay the fees and my mom didnt qualify for a loan. My mom cant afford to put food on the table and the university I was attending is taking me to court for outstanding fees. I am pleading with anyone who can help me pay off my fees to do so because I might go to jail on the 20th of march( my court date) since I cant pay their fees let alone a lawyer. Help me move forward with my life I dont wanna be another sad black story of a child who died helpless in the hood. Please assist me in raising money for ny fees./

Can maybe get Social Security in 5 months but need help living till then.
Dire Straits. noun. a bad or difficult situation or state of affairs, (not just the name of a band).
Up front, I take full responsibility for my current condition/situation, no other person place or thing is responsible for bad decisions I have made. And I have made quite a few.
That being stated, here are the facts;
Currently living in a car(read that homeless).
Unemployed, not unemployable but a very poor job history.
Stuck in a place where the weather is nice, but I really do not want to be here.
So if you have guessed that this is a plee for help, you are correct.
How did I get here? Years of practice.
I recently spoke with a professional, not in his professional settings, but of subjet matter that is discussed in his professional settings.
After some communications between us his opinion is that quite probably I am suffering from PTSD (Post Tramatic Stress Disorder). Something I aquired at the age of 17. 45 years ago I was involved in an automobile accident that resulted in both deaths, yes plural, and permanent disability to persons other than myself. Although due to circumstances beyond my control I was never charged with any crime, and there are no wants or warrants now, I believe the accident was my fault. I am willing to discuss the details in private as posting them on the internet could possibly bring painful memories to any living family members involved.
So for 45 years I have practiced the symptoms of PTSD so well that I have slipped through undetected. Probably in part due to the fact that although I am of the typical age of a Vietnam Vet, I never served in that arena, as I ran away from home just after the accident, because I was afraid of going to jail, that any draft papers never caught up with me. I was not afraid of going to jail because of being locked behind bars, I was afraid of suffering more sexual abuse at the hands of older inmates like I had already received from my sick alcoholic father.
So not being a vet and not discussing the accident no one ever considered PTSD, and they now know that severe trama of any sort can cause it, not just the theatre of the battlefield. Couple that to me not staying in one spot long enough for anyone to really know me. I have been successfully hiding in my head. As long as I don't get too close too intimate it won't hurt when I run away and lose you.
Severe trama it is now believed to stunt emotional growth. If the trama is severe enough emotional growth can in fact be locked in to the time of the tramatic event. So imagine being a teenager in a 61 year old body, thats me. Married 4 times afraid to have children. I heard on a radio talk show when I was very young that "The sins of the fathers where passed to their offsprings" and made a decision to never have children because no way was I going to do what was done to me to some helpless trusting child. This is one of the few things that I have been successful at.
The professional says I must discuss these matters, that is part of the healing process. So I am jumping in off the deep end, going online with my story in hopes that it will benefit myself and any other poor sod that happens to be in a similar situation.
Yes I am asking for help, financial help. Here with the help of the professional is what I am thinking, If I can find a few thousand lucky individuals that are housed and employed to give one dollar then I can purchase a used motorhome, put it in an inexpensive rv park so that I can have a base of operations from which to take showers on a daily basis, eat hot food and have an address to put on job applications. I could find some form of professional assistance either city/state/federal to deal with the PTSD for the long term.
There is help available.
And just to ease the voices in your head, I have not had a drink of alcohol or any hard drugs since 1982. I have used marijuana on a irregular basis off and on my whole life, I'll see what the PTSD treatment brings regarding that issue.
Honesty, what a concept.
Well if you have read this far, please, if you can afford it, click the paypal button and just one dollar is all I ask.
Thank You,
Joe

I am 20 years old,came to india with my mother.We borrowed from a few relatives to try to survive in india. We realised we cannot survive here and have to go back to Singapore,our own country. Unfortunately,our relatives would not let us go back until we pay back their loans, and they took our passports. WE have nothing much left in Singapore to pay them back as well. As i am a foreigner here,i cannot be employed as well until i go back to my own country. Now i have to settle their loans. Please help me,my mother is crying everyday and it hurts me so much to feel so helpless. She might result to suicide if things gets worst and i really want to help her and myself.Any kind soul out there please help me out. We are in a loan of One Lakh Rupees which is around USD$2300. Please help,thank you.

I am a 28 years old married woman having 2 kids.
I’m writing this to you seeking a help from your side. I was desperately cheated by one
of my relative
with a sum of $30,000 without my husband’s knowledge.
Because of this debt I’m not able to lead a happy life with my family. Neither concentrate on my kids.
I tried in several banks, money lenders, etc but could not find a solution for this. Instead my debt is increasing day by day my debt is increasing.

Please help me by lending this amount. Please I beg you. I’m helpless.
By doing this you give life to 3 people.
I’m in such a situation that from past two days I’m feeling like killing myself.
But I’m alive only for my two kids.

This money helps to clear all my debt. And I can lead a happy and successful life in future.

Again I BEG you for the sake of my kids.
Please understand my situation.
Awaiting a positive response soon.

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Jean and I am a mother of three. I am married to William, for 4 years and we are NJ natives. I am a caregiver for my 60 year old mother who was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Failure in January of 2011.

In June of 2010 my mother came from Michigan to live with me with the intention of helping me and my husband by watching our children during our working hours. My husband and I both work very long hours, and the children would have been required to spend long periods of time alone. So my mother came to help us fill the gap. In October of 2010, my mother’s health took a turn for the worse and it was continually getting worse as the year progressed. By January of 2011 my mother was unable to stand for any length of time and was always short of breath.

On February 10th I admitted my mother to the emergency room @ ACMC/Mainland. She was immediately diagnosed with kidney failure. She was admitted to ICU and on February 12th she had a cardiac arrest, due to toxic levels of magnesium, in her system. My mother suffered a sustained brain injury and to this day has a deficit she will have to live with forever. This deficit has taken away her ability to drive, live on her own, or be without some type of supervision.

My family suffered an extreme financial crisis that is ongoing and increasingly more devastating. I was out of work on FMLA for 8 weeks without pay. I was given $1200 in disability payments. I was allowed back to work, but with a significant decrease in pay and a change of position.

We have fallen behind in our bills in a catastrophic way. It seems the more we pay the more we owe. In fact, for the last week we have been without running water. Our gas has been off for three weeks and we use that for hot water, heat, and cooking. Our bank fees for the month of September have been astronomical (well over $400) for NSF charges and Service fees. This is just spiraling out of control. The children attend a local charter school and Pleasantville High school. Each child only has one pair of shoes and one uniform because I can’t get ahead of the curve to get them additional ones. The little ones need their school logo embroidered on the uniforms but that cost more than the shirt did.

We feel helpless and without some type of help we will continue to be a homeless family of six. We are currently living in a motel on the edge of our town. This is a pay by the hour type of place but it is the only place that will charge us by the week and will allow one of use to sleep on the floor. We are soliciting any type of help you can give. Please be mindful that we are hard working members of society. We have been working since we got out of high school. We are not beggars and we are willing to give back in the form of community service.
All I know is that we need help! Immediately or we’ll be past saving!
Thank you,
Jean Elam

I am just a person who has been praying and asking god today to please send someone by to help me with my greatest need at the lowest point of my life. I am 49 years old and I have lived with my parents helping them all I could for the last twenty three years. My dad has been in the nursing home close to our house for the last year after he fell and broke his hip for rehab, I still have hope that I can bring him home soon, he is 78 years old. The reason I say (I) is because me and my mother together tried so hard to take care of him but it was getting the best of both of us especially her. Unexpectedely my sweet mommy passed away this past August 2011. Without her I have been so lost, hopeless and helpless. I am trying so hard to go on, but it is hard. To try and make this shorter I am trying to save our home that they worked very hard to have for 30 years. The mortgage payments are cheaper than rent would be if I move, so I am grasping at anything out there for help. I am asking someone out there to help me with the mortgage payments that are due on it now with attorney fee's of $4000.00 or help in paying it off at $39,000.00. I am not a bum and I have worked since I was 18 years old, but am waiting on my disability from a car accident I had that has left me disabled. I can prove everything I have said in my message and that I am not making this up just to try and scam someone for money. I have just nothing left to lean to and they are going to foreclose for sell by February 27, 2012. I am hoping and praying that someone will see my message, that God will lead them this way. I would be forever so grateful for this help, and am asking from my heart.

hello i have no other option thought i'd try this. my girl friend had court today they gave her 7 days to come up with 2,100 dollars our she will have to leave her home. i can help her with some of the money but not all of it she just got a job awhile back after being unemployed. she was behind on everybill every thing is caught up but her rent she has tell 01-31-12 to come up with the money the county says she makes to much money for assistance. she is a great person just fell on hard times and i feel helpless cause i can only give her a few hundred. any advice or anything would be greatly apperciated thank you.

My fiance and I were both laid off from our jobs in this past year with no luck finding new ones. My mom has been in and out of the hospital all year with seizures and blood clots. In the past two months my car broke down (unrepairable) and my fiancees car was towed. We were unable to come up with enough money to get it out of the tow yard before they auctioned it off (several thousand dollars).
My mom has worked hard her entire life raising three kids on her own. Last year she was diagnosed with epilepsy and can no longer drive. Around this same time she was laid off from her job. Since she was denied state disability her only source of income at the moment is renting out the spare bedrooms in her house. Because of all of this her home is about to be foreclosed on.
On Tuesday this week she went to the hospital for a blood clot in her leg. During a procedure to remove the clot she started bleeding into her stomach. She has been touch and go for days and while the doctors say they are cautiously optomistic she is far from out of the woods yet.
I'm absolutely terrified that even if my mom makes it through all of this she won't have a house to go home to. Let alone be able to buy basic necesseties. I feel helpless and hopeless that I can't do more to help.
She is my everything, and I am begging for you, a kind-hearted stranger, to please do whatever you can to help us. Thank you.
