Holds Tags

Yes, I used to be a stripper. I have made some poor decisions in my life, but would like to put the past behind me and live a more philanthropic and spiritual life.

So here it is: I cannot receive my federal aid because of the 150% limit. Basically, I was unsure of what I wanted my major to be, and I took a lot of classes. Now I have a financial aid hold on my account, and I cannot register for the summer semester.

I only need 2 MORE CLASSES to graduate.
If I can pay my tuition for this semester, $1690.49, I can register for summer classes.

I need to be done with school so I can make a career for myself. Going back to stripping is not an option; the emotional, physical, and mental stress is too much.

I promise to you I will make a difference. A bachelor's degree is in the plan, and I enjoy helping others.

Please help me. Any amount will help.

I am legitimately in need. I will talk with you on the phone, skype, whatever it takes to prove I am real!

Hello I'm a young hardworking freshman college student, that is about to be completely on my own. I Just found my own place. I work a part time job that pays minimum wage I barely make enough to pay my upcoming rent for my efficiency. I'm not to sure at this point if I can attend school next semester because I have financial holds on my tuition account. I would more then appreciate any kind of help. It would mean a lot if I can be the first in my family to not only attend college but to be able to have the opportunity to finish it. I have some of the biggest dreams but very little money to kick them off and get my life rolling. I appreciate your time for listening and helping.

Hello,

Recently, I quit my job and started up my own eBay business. It had been a dream all my life, to own my own business. I started just a few months ago, and everything was going flawless. I have a great supplier, great products, and great customer service, etc. While we were new on eBay, they had set limits on how much we could sell and Paypal put 21-day holds on all our funds, till the customers received their items. It was just recently, that we turned into eBay Powersellers and received the status of "Top Rated Sellers".

Everything was going just perfect, up until recently. My mother-in-law needs a LOT of teeth work done. So, I decided I would list my cherished Jimi Hendrix poster online, to raise funds for her teeth work, because my business was new and not to the point of affording $5000 teeth work. I put it up for a 10-day auction and everything was going just fine. About halfway thru my auction, it was generating bids and lots of interest!

Then, the bottom fell out..... A gentleman from California was interested in our poster, and stated that he would like to purchase it. He said if we took the listing down, he would send us $3500. We agreed and took it down. He paid us within 10 minutes! We thought we had hit the jackpot. Not only was my business taking off, now I could afford my mother-in-laws teeth work! The very next day, I put his poster in the mail and we went to pay the down payment at the dentist and a few other bills off. Everything was looking good. Later that night, I received an email from Paypal, that the buyer had put a claim in! He stated that it was not as described, even though he had not even received it yet! It was still in route, thru the postal service. He had buyers remorse and Paypal froze my funds up.

No big deal, I am an eBay Powerseller, I should be able to make the funds really fast, right? No. When a customer buys something from us, we use their money they just paid us, to purchase their part and have it shipped to them. If my Paypal account is frozen and in the red for $3000, I am not able to sell anything or ship anything off!

Now, Paypal has paid the customer back and I am just sitting here trying to figure out what to do next. My dream I had started and finally got off the ground, is now ruined. I worked 20 hour days to get this off the ground, and now feel like a failure. I cannot do anything until the money is paid back. I have no way of doing anything.

I quit my job to do this and we are now struggling. It actually makes me sick, knowing I tried so hard to get to the Powerseller level, to have it all ruined because a customer wanted his money back on an item I had a "No Refund Policy" on. Paypal ruled in his favor without even talking to me.

My Paypal balance is a -$2741.79. I really need help getting it back to ZERO. Please consider a donation for a guy that is really trying to do something with his life. I am a 40 year old male and have been a failure all my life and now I have something that is working, and just when my family started noticing, my hopes were all dashed again. Failure surrounds me.

I could really use any help you can give at this time. I am a "Pay It Forward" type of guy myself. If I am helped out of this mess, I will Pay It Forward in the near future, to a charity in the same amount.

Thanks for your time,
Cody

I want to start a small business in my home town.
I don't think we can do it with having loan payments.
It is a small town of around 7000 people and is 130 miles from major shopping. So it will be a plus for locals to have a new place to shop in town.

I build and repair computers and I buy and sell products online.

I want to have Computer's Hobbies and more.
In store and online sales.
This would be a family run business and would support three house holds.

Start up cost and one year operating cost would be.
$100,000.00
This covers all bills for one year,Product cost and wage. After one year the business will support it's self and three employees.

Thanks to any one and every one that can help.
I hope to be able to pay it forward in a couple years.

So if you can help me Please do I'll be thankful May God bless all who reads this and them that don't PS if you or someone you know has a 671 engine in a old truck it will work Thanks Slowpoke

Hello everyone, this is a very tough and uncomfortable topic to advertise, but I try hard to be an honest moral Christian, and I didn't know where else to turn. I gave birth to my 7 year old daughter during my first year of college when I was 19. Soon thereafter her father left town, and cut off all contact with us. Meanwhile his stepfather has always stayed in contact with her. Often taking her to a movie or to the park, etc. My daughter started complaining that she was hurting, and upon medical evaluation it was determined that she has been molested and sodamized. The police department was called, within a week's time they questioned everyone she came in contact with, excluding her "step" grandfather who holds a prominent position in a vary prestigious government agency. To make a long story short, I was fired from my job at the local hospital due to this incident, he comes and picks my daughter up from school whenever he wishes, brings her home and when I say anything, he tries to force himself on me. He has told me I better leave town. I am constantly being watched day and night, to be honest i'm scared form the life of my daughter, and I need to leave town, but I have no money to do so. Any help anyone can give to help us move would be greatly appreciated. The cost of the move will be roughly $2,000 dollars. As of now I have $800 of that, I will accept any amount you are willing to give. Thank You, Sonny Fisher!

Starting at the beginning is going to be tough since I really don't know where all of my troubles started, but I am pretty sure it started when the company went bad. Here is what I do know. I can't find a good paying, full time job to save myself. Literally.

I asked my pastor to pray for me and I asked God to help me find people to help me. I woke up late last night a discovered cyber begging. I have a part-time job, but it doesn't pay the all the bills.

A little about me. I have three kids at home. They are all in school. I work part-time in Jax Beach at a well known world wide retailer. I make $7.75 and hour and work around 20 hours a week. I have two college degrees and I am taking classes in accounting because I can't find work in my field. Most of the temp agencies told me if I knew Quick Books and bookkeeping the would have a job for me. Now that I know QB and learning bookkeeping they have no job. I have been on two interviews with the same company in the last month with a "we will hire you, but not right now." My husband is working out of town, so we have to maintain two house holds.He sends what he can. We are both working. We Are Trying.

Questions and Answers:
How much do you want from me? A dollar or two. Not much but a little from a lot of people adds up.

Are you going to tell us who you are?
No, because I don't want my kids getting teased again. I took them to food donation place and there was a classmate there who was nice enough to let the whole school know. We didn't asked to be here, it just keeps getting worse.
I have a Facebook page, Spare a Dollar, where you can follow me and see how I am using the donations. I will post screen shots of transactions or pictures of the money orders. I will post receipts of where I spent money too. I am working on learning bookkeeping so this will be real world experience of account for money.


What do you need:
Here is the list:
The first $100 will pay My JEA bill. I pay this online so I will post a screenshot for you.


$360 will pay my Att bill Jea Bill and buy a Gallon of Milk.

$1170 will pay my rent, Att and JEA Bill and buy milk.

$3560 for to catch up on November bills and enough to by food, pay December's bills and get my husband home for Christmas.

$6270 to Catch up on November bills, buy food, pay December's bills, husband home for Christmas, and January's Bill. Now if things work out, I might have a full time job come January 1st.

$10,000 to Catch up on November bills, buy food, pay December's bills, husband home for Christmas, and January's Bill. IF things don't work out I need around $3500 to move to where my husband is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I'm a college educated 30 year old female. I work full time, but took a substantial pay cut to keep my job. I'm looking desperately for a 2nd job to supplement my income, because the money is going out much faster than it's coming in, and I know eventually the bottom will fall out from under me if I don't do something.

Like so many of us, I don't know what to do. I don't have family I can ask for help, in fact, I've always been the one to help them out when they need it. This is such a helpless feeling - I hate feeling this way. It's taken a toll on my pride.

This month, after I pay the rent and my car insurance, I will have $60 to live on for the rest of the month. I don't know how I'll do it. I know there are lots of people out there in my same situation, but I'm asking whoever will listen to please help a fellow human being in their time of need. I would certainly do the same, and have in the past when I was able to.

If you're unable to help, the only thing I ask is that if you believe in a God, pray, and if not, keep me in your thoughts as I struggle through this time. I know I'll get through it, like I have always done, but it's hard not knowing what the future holds.

I am a Junior in college with Dance Performance as my area of expertise. I also participate in the local Christian Service Fraternity. I wish to avoid sob stories because to be honest I feel that God has blessed me with an overall very good life. I am not one usually to ask for money or help but unfortunately, the predicament that has been thrust upon me is becoming to difficult for me to bear alone.
Even if I wished to transfer schools to one that is less expensive, as of right now, I can't due to holds on my account preventing my transcript and credits from transferring, thus resulting in my having to start college all over again as a freshmen.
The total amount past due is just over $12,000. Any amount, little or small is greatly appreciated.
Feel free to contact at my email, ryojimayakin@rocketmail.com, so as to ask me any questions about my said field of study, future plans and current activities. I feel that as this is your investment, as a proper business professional I should at least let you know about whom you are investing in (it is called "show business" after all).

I am a working single mother. My daughter is in college she works part and holds a 3.5 GPA. I just dont have enough money coming in to keep her in college, pay the rent and bills. I am begging mostly for her I want so bad to see her make it through school. She is starting her 4th year and it is now getting so expensive. Can someone please help with just a little. I never went to school so this is dear to my heart for her. thank you everyone

As I was writing on my niece’s behalf, I felt to submit a request of my own.

In April, my unemployment benefits were exhausted. May and June of this year found me without enough cash flow to pay my storage fees. However, beginning in late August, I will be receiving retirement benefits, which will allow me to once again maintain a balance until such time I am generating sufficient income to have a place of my own and permanently remove my possessions out of storage.

While I remain diligent in my efforts to secure employment, I am still unemployed and my deadline for paying off the balance of my storage fees is August 18, 2011 in the amount of $822.18 (including late, lock cutting, lien and other fees), incurred during the months of May to August.

The space holds my family’s lifetime of irreplaceable documents and other valuable and very useful practical possessions, representing for me a legacy of work and living I’ve accumulated and experienced these 62 years, and intend to use for at least another 30 years. Many of the books, art work and other one-of-a kind collections I plan to leave for my sons and grandsons.

Vision with me that $30.00 from 28 people is sent to me at least once daily doing it for me. So, if you find it in your heart to give, and your fiscal resources oblige, know that any and all amounts of monetary donations are humbly received and greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration and effort.

On Oct. 17th I was in a near fatel auomobile wreck. The person driving lost control of the casr and broad sided a oak tree.I died three times- once at Peidmont Regional Hospital- they were going let me die and a doctor ordered a medi Vac helicopter wher I passed away again. They brought me back. Again I died at Babtist regional Hospital. I was in coma for six weeks. After that I was in the ICU for two months. The doctors told my family I would be bed ridden the rest of my life if I lived. Through lots of payer, good doctors and months of hard work- I can walk and talk. I am very fourtunate. It has been eight long months. I have depleted all my savings. In fact I am over six hundred thousnd dollars in debit. The bank wants my house, I have been struggling to keep the lights on. Also I am on my thrid month with no hot water.But I am alive and very grateful.I can not work- my doctor wants me take a year off and concentrate on getting my health back.I don't know what to do. I am scared to death I am going to 53 years old and living under a bridge and half crippled. The left side body is shot.

I drowning in debt, struggling to make ends meet, terrified of being out of a job, and currently working for a company that will be making redundancies, struggling to buy food for the family and robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I owe a large sum of money to my parents. I cannot pay them back in the present economic climate. Both parents have retired to a country were they were both born and in the meantime my Mother’s brothers and sisters have deceased in the last few years and she dying slowly of not seeing her children and being alone I a remote part of country. My Mother is in poor health and needs medication regularly to try to get better. The only way to help her is get her back to the UK to be with her love ones and those care for her. This involves buying a small home or converting ours. This will depend if there are any offers of help from someone who has the funds or heart to help us. Being isolated and alone in a third world country where crime is higher than the UK just makes life so much harder to bear.


This situation is affecting my happiness with my immediate family and could break us apart. I am scared of what the future holds and have no where to turn and I taking my problems out on family. Thank for reading this message.

Well my story started with my childrens father leaving without a trace which I think had alot to do with the stress of living day to day. A week after he left my trucks motor blew up, and we live nearly twenty miles from town so walking to work was out of the question. Being a mother of five since I was fifteen yrs old n on my own didnt leave me with much time on my hands to make friends. And without there father to help with bills, and getting fired from my job within two weeks because I couldnt get to work ,or anywhere for that matter, lead to us losing our home and land within a matter of weeks. It didnt help that when there dad left he left us with a bunch of unpaid bills, so it didnt take long at all before we were out on the streets. Sure we've by The Grace of God somehow found a place to lay our heads and food to eat, but it has been an awful situation for my kids and myself. People we have known for years MAY let us stay for a day or to and maybe even a week or so if we're really lucky, but it seems as if no one is truely intrested in helping us to get back on our feet. Its a shame this world we live in has come to this point. I have worked my whole live to provide for my family, and along the way helped everyone I possibilty could, but it dosent seem like people care at all any more. I mean all we need is a place to stay for about a month and someone who is willing to take me back and forth to work until I can get a pay check. In some cases I can understand why people cant help because times are so hard on everyone right now they just cant afford the gas. In the last five months I have changed my kids schools 7 times. That is so much stress for a child to go through my girls are 15, 13, 10, 9, and 5. And they are wonderful very deserving children who DO NOT DESERVE THIS they are failing in school and having to worry day to day about where will be sleeping the next day. Of course I went to the government for help and it was shocking to find out it was no help at all... after working my whole life they said all we could draw was 600 dollars a month which would have been great, had I been able to draw it without working 30 hrs per week community service, that I am more than willing to do, if they would only help me with transportation. I signed up on this and begged everyone I knew and even ppl I didnt know to give me a ride to their predetermined place to work, only to work 20 hrs that week and lose out on the check altogether. Its terrible that Im willing and ready to work and cant find the transportation or a place suitable for my children to stay while im there. We are currently staying with the 1 person that I would call a friend, and have been here a steady two weeks, but thats not without tons of problems. I do recieve food stamps but they do not last all month with so many mouths to feed, and my friend that we are staying with is on a set income and in a wheelchair. He has told me several times that we need to find somewhere else to go, but I am completely out of options. Even the homeless shelters in our area do not have room for us all, so I have no idea what tomorrow holds for my family. If anyone out there has the means and heart to help us even a little we would be very greatful. I do know The Lord, and know what His Word says about giving. And I can assure you that it will not go unnoticed by Him, He will bless you for helping his people, and even return your donation to you in ways you cant possibly immagine. I can also promise that we will pray for you to be blessed and for you and your loved ones to be watched over and protected. If its in your ability and in your heart to help us God Bless you and your family, if you can not afford to help financially I ask that you would please keep us in your prayers, thanks to anyone who took the time just to listen. If you would like to contact me please call (606) 878-8725, or write to me at 123 Bentely Rd. London KY 40744. Even if we leave this residence I will be able to get messages and mail

Hello, If anyone is able to help me get a felony expunged, I would be so greatful. The felony is from 1999 and it holds me back from finding employment. The cost to have it expunged is around $150.00.After my record is cleared, I can answer honestly that I have no felony convictions. I have not been in any trouble with the law since 1999 but that one felony stops employers from wanting to hiring me.Please contact me a kmachen@live.com if you are willing to help. Thankyou,
Sincerely,
Karen

My husband hasn't had a job in two years. He has chronic pain and illness. I am a writer and have been keeping us afloat, sort of, for longer than those two years.

My son, Dylan, is amazing. He has high functioning autism but holds a job and has been admitted to a prestigious art school in our town. I'm working part time for the art school to pay his tuition.

We are just at ground zero with no money. His birthday is Saturday. Whatever you can spare, I am not going all out with a Wii or anything. I just want to have a nice day with dinner out and fun family time.

He's such a good boy and he deserves much better.

I have NEVER EVER done this before but I ran across this site and figured I have nothing to loose trying. "Where there is a will there is a way!" Where to start? Sighhh...
I am the sweetest, sensitive, charitable, loving, giving, God Fearing, non judgemental, lover, encourager lady.. Many of my closest friends and family call me an "Angel on earth"... But even Angels need help once in a while.. I'm usually the helper so asking for help is new and a bit hard for me to chew..

First let's start with: My name is Crystal H.. I am a 32 year old caucasion lady that lives in Colorado.. Native to Colorado. Growing up I excelled in school thus earning 4.0 average and constant Honor Roll. I did have College opportunities ect. but at that time I met a young man in college, football player and fell in love. I had a good paying job as an office manager and thought all was good.. It was for several years anyway..We married and At 23yrs. I gave birth to my miriacle baby whom was premature and weighed 2 lbs. 11oz. I was very ill at the end of pregnancy due to acute Eclampsia so she was born early emergency c-cection, flight for lifed to Childrens Hospital in Denver and I stayed in ICU for the first week.. Keep in mind due to circumstances I never was able to see or touch my daughter before they airlifted her to Denver.. Finally one week later my doctor gave me a two hour pass to beable to go to Denver and meet my new daughter for the very first time.. Words can't tell what I felt and the emotions I was feeling.. I still tear up recounting the events.. But yes after many tears, fear of touching or holding her due to her size and all that was hooked up to her I did finally get courageous enough to hold my new born daughter after a week for the first time.. Love at first sight! Chills are still going through my body as I write this.. Anyway's over time she improved and became much stronger. She was small but mighty. I was finally released from the hospital myself and spent all my time with her at Childrens Hospital until release day.. Brought her home at 3 lbs. 12 oz and had the ultimate baby learning/motherly instincts. With 4 yrs. of twice weekly physical therapy she grew out of her challenges, and has grown into an way above average intellence, beautiful nine yr. old.. Thank you God!!!

My next challenges were none to fun at all! My marriage became rocky.. He became abusive physically, emotionally and mentally.. After about the last 3 yrs. becoming so bad and scary I could not deal with his abuse or allow my daughter seeing such activity. So with that said I asked him to leave our home. He would not leave without a police escort, but finally was gone nonetheless.. I am NOT pro divorce at all so after the initial anger callmed down I did go to him asking him to please do counceling with me and let's really try to work this all out. He REFUSED! So after being with my ex husband twelve years we finally did divorce.. =(

Right after the divorce at the age of 30, I was rushed to the ER and diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. I was in ICU for over one week and spent several months at home on oxygen. But now since the divorce I was dropped from his insurance so I am unable to have the cardiovascular care needed and a heart valve repaired.. But I have faith one day I will beable to have this delt with.. Gotta believe!

Next was really NOT PLANNED or wanted but happened. I finally met a young man whom I started spending much time with. Due to my heart and lack of insurance I was not on birth control but did use condoms with him. Unfortunately a condom did break and yes I did become pregnant.. Three day's before Christmas last year I misscarried the baby and spent two day's in hospital due to D&C and my heart. I was released at Christmas and had a hard time dealing with the hormones, lack of support from the young man, failure in my parents eyes ect.. Just plain and simple was a hard time for me emotionally but I NEVER once let my daughter know of this and still have not to this day. She does not need to be scared any further than what she has already in life.

Now we come to current events.. Swear I have let my life become a soap opera and should right a what not to do and how to survive book for women.. sighhhhh.... Anyways. After being single for nearly a year and of course wishing I could meet a nice (preferably) Christian boy to date and enter into a relationship with a man whom I have known for several years who was a family friend while I was married came back into my life. This time he showed strong romantic gestures and over time did finally earn some trust n love with me. We entered into a relationship and it felt safe and comfortable since I'd known him so long, family new him and my daughter new him well already too..
I finally started becoming happier and was slowly gaining a little self confidence, and believing that things will end up working out finally afterall.. (Keep in mind due to lack of insurance and Heart Failure I was still not allowed on birth control pills like I wanted) we of course used protection always. But two times the condom came off in me.. I hoped all would be fine and I would not become pregnant, not at all wanting to repeat my first ordeal I had with my daughter plus now with my Congestive Heart Failure on top of it all pregnancy would NOT be good! I went to a local clinic and talked to a female doctor there and begged her if there would be anyway I could qualify for any free birth control that would not hinder my CHF.. Finally I had good news.. =) She said she would see if I could qualify for the low hormone Miranna and if I did she would implant it in my uterous for free.. This was to last for five years.. Yes one positive answered prayer. I went to my doctors oppt. as sheduled, they had me do an UA to make sure I was not pregnant before insertion and preped me for the procedure. Right before the Doctor was to do procedure the nurse came into the room and notified both of us that indeed I was pregnant.. My head swirled with confusion, fear, stress ect.. After talking to my doctor briefly about it, my history ect. I left the office and proceeded to go to my boyfriend to update him of the current events.. At the very beginning he sounded happy and positive, even eased my mind a little but about two day's later he up and left me. I have had my first ultrasound and as of yet the baby is alive and well. Strong heart beat. I am nearly two months pregnant, doctor took me off all my heart meds. due to baby. Still no insurance, applied for Medicade which really saddened me that I was at a point I had to do this.. Very humbling to say the least, and am alone, confused, many urging me to abort the baby but remember I am Christian and this is a hard concept for me to accept.. Currently unemployed, single mother, pregnant, no father support, lonely, desperate and really beginning to feel hopeless.. There is a high probability that the acute Eclampsia could repeat itself again as it did with my daughter and now I'm older than before. Not 23 anymore now I'm 32 with Congestive Heart Failure and Hypertension. Trying to support my nine year old the best I can and now so worried and fearful of what is to come.. Christmas just happened and it so did not feel like Christmas to me. Not much I could do for my daughter or my loved ones. I'm so scared of what the near future holds and how I will beable to deal with it, and be healthy enough to continue taking care of my nine yr. old. Need a good job but kinda feel it would be hard since I am so high risk I have MANY constant dr. visits. Neonatal parnatologist, my OB, and supposed to find a cadiologist as well to monitor me.. Medicade pending but no answer if they would accept me yet, bills piling up, and feeling out of control totally of my life right now.. Sad and confused that bf left me too.. I'm praying sooooo hard daily, nightly, looking on internet for at home jobs I could do but most end up seeming like scams, keep going to church in order to help try to keep me grounded and keep the faith that somehow it will all work out.. I sure hope I have not bored you to death, some may be pretty disgusted by my mistakes and situation, but I do hope nonetheless that maybe even just one person actually found this post, read it through, and maybe just maybe is in a posistion of life that they could and would be willing to help me out a little.. The whole "Pay it forward" campaign.. I fully believe in that and fully believe what goeas around comes around.. Regardless of the outcome I wan't to take a moment to wish everyone that took the time to read my post all the best to you and yours, full love and ENDLESS BLESSINGS to all!

With love and true sencerity,

Having had a job in the video game industry (laid off from downsizing in 2008), you can imagine that our house was once a place of entertainment and excitement around the holidays. Since becoming a "99er" or one who goes through all unemployment benefits legally available, Christmas has turned into an effort to just collect what we can to make sure they day still holds something for the kids to open. Our families have done an amazing job to contribute little items here or there, but we still don't have that one "big" item for our boys to open. I'd really like to replace the XBox 360 that we had to sell, hopefully adding the new Kinect controller as well. One of our boys has some developmental delays and I see this as a potentially positive tool for interaction with us as well as peers. Thanks for your time.

I live in Miamisburg Ohio with my wife and four young children. The youngest of which was just born on August 26th, 2010. As I write this message, I can't help but feel a wave of guilt and a sense of failure wash over me, because of the intent that this message is being sent. It is, boiled down to it's essence, simply electronic panhandling.....nothing more nothing less.

My wife and I are both college educated and employed, but find ourselves still living paycheck to paycheck. We are not poor and are not in desperate need, there are many hundreds of thousands of others that need more than us, but I can feel the weight of financial burden crushing down upon my shoulders. I do not wish to be rich, famous, or otherwise well off. But I do want to provide for my family, and to have the luxury of enjoying the day to day moments without the fear of financial uncertainty always looming overhead.

I would like to offer a glimpse into our family lives and finally get to the heart of this email....the begging. My wife holds a Master's degree and is employed as a Teacher in the Miamisburg City School district. She teaches a class of moderately to severe multiple-handicapped children. I honestly do not have a clue how she manages to do what she does. She is consistently given the most severely mentally and physically handicapped children because she has a way of reaching these children and getting more out of them than anyone thought possible. I can't count the number of times I've seen her crying as she reads an email from a parent of one of her students as the parent thanks her because they have been able to witness their child smiling and playing in the same manner as his or her typical peers would do. She truly is my hero for the gracious way that she treats these children with kindness and respect even as she comes home every day after being thrown up on, bitten, spit at, urinated on, or any other number of things that happen on a daily basis because of the severe nature of these kids' disabilities.

As for myself, my profession is not nearly as noble as my wife's, I do hold a Bachelor's degree in Material Science and Engineering. I work for a company that does research into air breathing supersonic combustion.

We have four young children, an 8 year old daughter, 5 year old son, 2 year old daughter, and a new baby boy who is only a week old.

This is the part of the message that pains me to write, and I'm not even sure how to go about it. I'm far from an eloquent wordsmith as it is, so to figure out an articulate way to beg for help, is a tough task. So, I'll just be direct and to the point. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, but the magic number that I am asking for is $60,000. That is approximately the amount that my wife and I owe in student loans for the educations that we have received. This would relieve a large amount of debt that we have accrued while trying to better ourselves and provide for our families. We don't have any other credit card debt due to extravagant overspending, as we have always tried to live within our means.

We are middle America, and we ask for your help!

Thank you for your time, and I hope that this message finds you and your family well

I am currently residing in Maryland. On 06.25 I lost my seat at a design firm becausethe son of the firms president graduated and could not find a job, so I was cast off. Making things worse, I was denied unemployment benefits from DC because my 1st day of work at the firm was 10.01 and as such, did not earn income in two consecutive quarters in 2009, making me inelligible of unemployment insurance benefits.

Move forward to 07.27 where my divorce is finalized and I am cleaned out. It just so happens on the same day in another room of the courthouse, the foreclosure sale of my home is ratified.

Last week I decided that the job market in disrepair holds no clear or positive future for me and that it would be best to move back to my hometown to start over.

However, with no job, no unemployment benefits... well nothing. I need help. I need to raise the cash necessary to pay for a truck, tolls, and fuel for an 800mi sojourn.

Is there anyone who can help?
