Humble Tags

I recently ran into some really hard times. I've got my tuition loans all the way down to $1,100.00 and my wife lost her job, and I lost my second job. Things are rough, and the bills are piling up while we both look for another job. I am not a slacker, I've worked all my life for everything I do (or don't) have, and all I'm asking for is a little generosity in return. Also, I will commit to helping 2 or 3 people on this site once our income gets back up. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated, and thanks for your humble assistance...

Hi,

4 years ago I lost my job because of recession and I'm jobless till date :-(

I'm married and have 2 children. After losing my job I spent 2 years with the help of my savings and after that I borrowed loan from bank. But for last 15 months I'm facing very very critical situation. Now its very hard to survive. I have to pay school fees for my children, wife's medical expenditure, pay back bank's loan and start a small business to earn. For all these I need $16000.

So its my humble request to all kind hearted human to help me to end my problems.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Thanks.

I am 22 year old recent college graduate struggling to find a job after graduation, thus I am struggling to pay all of my bills. I am now on the verge of homelessness. My parents are homeless as well and I come from an extremly poor family, so I have no safety net for moments like this. I have run out of savings and I have been searching for a job. I am now swallowing my pride because times are tough especially since I come from humble beginnings and I have no social connections. I have never been the type to ask for things but I don't want my pride to negatively affect my well being. I put myself through school and I am the first in my family to go to college, unlike other kids my age where their parents take care of everything for them, my father is dead and my mom is homeless as well. I really need help. I am out of options.

I am a single mother of one 7yr old that is more than a gift!! I had to step down from college for a little while when I got pregnant to earn money. I cant afford it as long as im trying to save my home. I have went through health issues, lost my job, depression, struggles and a lot of spirit breaking situations, but surprisingly im still standing and fighting! This house was the only house that I have ever known as well as my son. I bought the house from my parents when they were going through a divorce that forced the hand of them selling the house so in an effort to save my best memories and something thats been in the family since '82 I took the responsibility. I've been trying to fight against the odds my whole life so in my last effort against defeat I've came here to try and save my home!! I have court on Thursday to find out how much time I have before they completely forclose, but if anybody and I mean anybody out there can help please!!!! Every dollar counts because I have no where to turn and I need approximately $10,000 to save my home!! I dont know how much fight I have left in me and im trying to keep strong in front of my son since we have nowhere to go or no help!! Pride aside thanks in advance for anything that u can give and I will humble myself dramatically to protect my son. I just found a new job and praying its not too late!!

If I don`t get some help with some money for food , bills and just daily living to help me get back up on my feet I`m so scared for my family and I & everything I fought for for years will be for nothing . I am down to some days choosing breakfast lunch or dinner or a roll of toilet paper or gas in my car to get my children to school and am I going to have enough to get them back home . Things have got that bad . Look , I have tried my very best all I have ever wanted was a home . I and had my first child at 16 . I am still married to the same man today. We went on to have 4 children . My last two are still at home they both were born with disability`s . We always loved them and taken care of them . My husband always worked was a great worker and provider until 12 years ago when he was in a near fatal wreck and ran off a mountain in Georgia . He tried to go back but , couldn`t After years of many , many hospital stays and therapy 7 years ago he was well enough to stay with the 2 children for me to go to work full time only 3 years ago Surprise . I had to have emergency open heart surgery with another surgery 1 month later then a lung collapse soon after that . I did go back to work but , everything went down hill after that . I kept fighting and struggling until I had to give up in Jan 2012 . I `m waiting to see if I can get approved for my long term disability that I have paid in these 7 years but they say it may be July IF they carry me . So right now I`m in dire straights . I have done all this on my own . I DON`T KNOW THAT THINGS CAN GET WORSE . But , I never know anything from day to day . I never in a million years thought I would have to ask anyone for help much less online . I`m a private person and I feel embarrassed to have to do this but , a lot of times in your life you have to humble yourself . I thought about it and I saw and read about George Zimmerman we all know who that is he gets to kill someone a kid shoot them in the back not get arrested then set up a sight and get over 200,000 and when they do arrest him claim he has zero money . You know something is wrong with this picture . The parents of the child should get that but , that's not my call. because I need to understand just like me people did open their hearts and even thought people like him needed help .I`m not the one to judge . I just need to get out of a hole . I just need some compassion . I need to be able to get ahead and really be able to go and buy shampoo , soap , soap powders , food , gas , and pay some bills and get what is necessary to be able to continue to live a regular just a simple life and my children or husband won`t have to suffer or worry until I can get my long term disability started .
Thank you for reading my story and Thank you for any little gift you may be able to give . If you can`t give I understand to I know times are really , really hard . But , would you maybe say a little prayer for us ?
Thanks & Bless you .

This is extremely new to me.I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have to humble myself and beg for financial assistance for my Fiance' and I. We have had a constant streak of unfortunate occurences in our life. He was laid off his job a month ago. Then suddenly last week I was terminated by my job. We have lost our only vehicle which is on the border of reposession. We have been utilizing public transportation which can become unreliable to get to potential job interviews.Our rent is due next week which will be facing eviction due to lack of funds. Our utility bill is overdue and we have several disconnection notices. We have had to pawn our electrical devices such as our Television, computer and even my engagement ring which was forfeited due to non-payment. We have turned to governmental agencies and churches but the funds were always limited.
We currently have no income coming in at this time. I may have a new job but it will be too late for this month's bills and we can end up literally in the streets or in a shelter, We have no family to turn to. If you could find it in your heart to assist us financially to get us back on our feet with whatever donation you choose we will be most Grateful.....

Hi, my name is Kendra Lynn S. I'm 22 and living in Kansas City, MO. I'm originally from Ashland, KY but I moved to Missouri in August of 2011 to live with my aunt and work for her husband. I needed a change and needed to get away from a life that was killing me in Kentucky. I miss it sometimes and I miss my friends, but I met an amazing man here who loves me with all his heart and I plan to marry him and spend forever with him. We don't have a lot of money but we are getting by, we're just happy to be together. I work 2 jobs and he works full time at a bank, but we're having trouble raising money for a huge step in our wedding planning: I have to declare chapter 7 bankruptcy.
I have $10,043 in medical bill debt from an accident in January 2010 where someone hit me with a 4-wheeler, putting me in a coma for 2 months and then physical therapy and rehab after that. The original bill was $200,000 for the medical costs, but I received a scholarship to cover 95% of the cost because I didn't have health insurance at the time. While I was in a coma, I lost my apartment, fell behind on payments on my school loans, and my bills were sent to collections. Ashland Kentucky is a small town, and we're kind of a small family so I didn't want to press charges on the person who hit me. But when I met my fiancé and we started talking about marriage, I discussed my situation with a lawyer to determine what I should do.
We want to be able to buy a house in the future, but with this debt the lawyer was afraid that my credit will hinder that. The lawyer was also afraid that since my bills are in collections that if I get married that the creditors would seize my fiancé’s assets. My fiancé doesn't have much, but we are sharing his truck since I lost my car and if the creditors took his truck we'd be out the $10,000 remaining on the truck loan and without a vehicle. I decided I would try to press charges just for the cost of filing bankruptcy, but the person who hit me was the sheriff’s son. No police report was ever filed. Small town politics are good in most situations. This is not one of them.
The lawyer tried to do what he could, but Kentucky’s statute of limitations for filing suit against someone is 1 year. By the time I decided I needed to sue, it was too late. So I’m stuck with a bill I can’t pay and it’s the only thing keeping me from marrying the man I love. My mother is a medical transcriptionist in West Virginia, and she’s barely making enough to support herself and her boyfriend so I can’t ask her for help. My father has been in prison my entire life so I don’t really have anyone to turn to for assistance with this. My fiancé’s parents have been very helpful, but they only have so much to help with and they can’t assist us with the bankruptcy.
Me and Trey (my fiancé) are paying for the wedding and the honeymoon entirely by ourselves, on top of keeping up with rent and truck payments and regular bills. Like I said, we’re happy and we’re doing okay living a humble lifestyle. Other people have it worse, I get that and I’m grateful for the love I’ve found and the life I get to spend with him. We wanted to get married in June, but at the rate we’re able to save towards the cost of filing bankruptcy, it could be next year before we could get married, and neither of us want to wait that long.
I already spoke to 1 lawyer and was quoted $1500, two payments of $750. Our finances are so carefully budgeted that and stretched so thin that we just can't do that. My fiancé has stopped eating breakfast and lunch to save money, started riding his bike to work and is doing everything he can to save money. We’ve set aside $300 towards the filing cost. It’s taken us 4 months to do that. We intended on using our tax returns to file, but mine was taken by the creditors and we used his to try to get ahead on our bills. So here’s what I’m asking: any donation towards the cost of filing my bankruptcy would be a huge blessing right now. Some members of our church have offered to assist us, and someone referred us to this site. I
think it’s a great thing that people are willing to help complete strangers out and I wish that I had the resources to help others at this time. We’ve already agreed that we will do whatever we can to help others in need on this site once we can start setting more money aside once we’re married. But right now, I need $1200 total to cover the cost of my bankruptcy, so any donation towards that would be a blessing. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, God Bless!

Hello, My name is Arnab I am from a small town of India pleading to get help from any one willing to help .I had a rood accident where I lost my legs.I was a football player earlier I couldn't play now .I have a family to look after and none is there to help me .I had been working in a call center for Rs. 4,500 (100 dollars) a month .But i have lost that too after the accident. It is a humble request to all that if you can donate me 1 dollar as in US it might me very small amount for you but for me it will be like 45 rs which is pretty good for us .So, 1 dollar will be of immense help if you can aid me you will be blessed .Thanking you..

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...

My storage bill is due in March. Please hear my plea for assistance!!!

My house burned down over the holiday season and what remains is in a small rental storage unit. I was struggling financially prior to the fire and now all that is left..mostly some salvageable family photos and some keepsakes that are about to be lost again--forever!!! I would like to save the keepsakes for the next generation in my family who are still very young---they lost their mother at a very early age.

The amount I would like to generously request is a humble amount of $250 and a one time need. My emergency funding resources did not come through this month and are delayed ??? I am working on this desperately. I have no other resources to turn to...I am retired and barely making it on my retirement income. I have worked all of my life and financially responsible. Thank you and any assistance is a great help. God Bless.

Hello everyone,

I have been suffering from a recurrent depressive disorder for about four years - with no hope for recovery by means of the conventional medicine. I know a trustful and proven healer who can - and almost certainly WILL - bring me health (and there are many non-medical reasons why I'd like to contact him regardless of anything). Although he expects a rather symbolic fee, I can't afford his help as I'm unable to take up a job (despite of that I have no legal right to receive any kind of social support, what is extremely humiliating for me - I'm tightly tied to my family and this situation resembles an incapacitation).

That's why I would like to ask for a relatively SMALL and ONE-TIME financial help from anyone that can offer it.

I am not asking for a lot of money or help – just enough to allow me to stay on the road to recovery. [about 300$ just for healing with travel costs included - although this amount should be sufficient, I have absolutely no self-earned money - so no donation is redundant!!!]

This request for a humble donation is my *ONLY* way to stay on the road to recovery and, at least, a partial independence. I have absolutely no things which I could sell.

I am willing and able to provide any proof you may need of my health and financial condition.

I know there are plenty of scam artists out there, but I can prove to you that I am not one of them.

My story is not that of someone that most people would be sympathetic to, but I'm as honest as possible.

NO "AMERICAN DREAMS". NO CRAVINGS. NO PARASITISM. NO FOOLISHNESS. I HAVE BEEN ALWAYS HELPING OTHERS AT MY OWN EXPENSE [AND I FEEL I WAS CREATED TO HELP OTHERS AS WELL], SO I'M GRANTING MYSELF THE RIGHT TO ASK FOR HELP (AND TO GET IT) FROM OTHER PEOPLE AT LEAST *ONCE* IN MY LIFE. THIS IS MY FIRST AND PROBABLY THE LAST ACT OF BEGGING.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

please can anyone be so kind as to take humble pity upon myself. well for my child really, I need to keep in schoool urgently but have lost my job. I worked hard for 12 hours a day but now find i am facing the child being kicked out of school. i am searching everyday for a job as a single parent to show my child that you have to work for what you have, my child has been at this school for 5 yrs now from my one sole wage. please i ask for any donation to help keep the education going. i m on my knees for help.

I need mone for my mother heart operation its very urgent.....please help me its my humble request..........

I am 43 yr old carpenter and a single father of 2. My 98 Jeep Gr Cherokee and all my carpentry tools (my livelihood, tool belt, framing/finish guns,circular saws, cordless tools, extension cords and 20 yrs of accumulating various hand tools and equipment that are irreplaceable) where stolen right out of my backyard last night. I have no family around here or friends that are in a predicament to help me and I understand. Times have been hard up until now, but it just got worse. I am not even thinking about Christmas for my kids. I am worried about starting off 2012 "Homeless". I have every bill due. I was only able to afford basic insurance and that does not cover theft, so I am out of luck with that. Now I need to get humble and try to rebuild. I am willing to offer my carpentry skills in return for any and all assistance. This is a humbling experience and I am left with very little options.

I am now 40 years old and it is the first time I am jobless, I even dont know what to say I feel ashamed but I am really in need I dont have money even to buy a bread , my bank situation is terrible I dont have credit anymore I just can eat and have a roof because I live with my mother. I humble ask please help me I am desperate

Our story began 2 years ago when my unmarried partner of 13 years has a nervous breakdown forcing my son and I (a stay-at-home mom) to move from Indiana down to Florida to live with my parents. We had little money, no job, no home and a 10 year old car in need of a transmission. It was a truly devastating time in our lives.

Flash forward two years later. I am now gainfully employed and we have a small 2 bedroom apartment. Sadly, however, it took 9 months to find a job. In the meantime, we used my credit cards to pay our bills and living expenses resulting in high debt and not much extra to cover these now.

I am now faced with the fact that I will need to file bankruptcy unless I can pay down these debts. I've always paid my bills. I want to honor my debt and repay it. Please help us to pay down our debt. Any little bit will help... and will be MUCH appreciated.

I wouldn't ask for help if I didn't feel it absolutely necessary, however I feel that I must humble myself in order to do the right thing for my son and I.

I know times are tough for many of us. I feel blessed to have had the help I needed two years ago. It is my wish to get out of debt so that I, too, can turn around and help others in need.

Many thanks, in advance, for your time and consideration.

Yes, I am begging, I don't want to but i need to humble myself. I have 15 credits so far and a 4.0 GPA. I am working on another 3 credits, but I am short 311.00 to finish paying for it. I also had to drop my next class, because i do not have the money. I left a full time job when my husband transferred back to his hometown. I have not been able to get employment. We had to file chapter 13 (have to pay his child support), so I can not get a loan. Stafford loans do not cover it all, and I did not get a pell grant. The course I gave up costs 1242.00 for 3 credits, plus books. I am trying so hard! Please help if you can. Thank You!

I am a giving person that care about the needs of others. I let my sister use my name to get her electricity turned and unfortunately she fell on hard times with her bills and didn't have help from her boyfriend who was staying with her at the time and now the BGE bill is 7,000.00. I am so stressed out because she nor I have that type of money to pay it off. I would appreciate any help from anyone out there who reads this message. I usually dont beg anyone for anything because I try to fend for myself. I'm sorry but this time is different because I just dont know where I could possible raise $7000.00 plus dollars. Please help me if you can.
Sincerly and most humble,
Women in need of help

Teach me to catch fish that is exactly what I am asking someone to help me do, so that I will stop always looking for hand outs. A humble, kind and caring person I am but for over six years now I am struggling like hell.Just over four years in marriage with two small kids under four and I feel like I am been washed away in murky waters with only my head above, trying to survive the economic crisis. My husband earns less than $400US each month and it is not even enough for the bills,baby food and other expenses. Relatives has to be giving us a little food sometimes mainly for the kids coupled with the two rooms we now occupy that serves as a kitchen just with a stove and temporary structured bathroom all this makes me feel stifled. I want to help so much it is unbearable. My husband mom has a little shop she is willing to allow us to operate a little business. It is long closed up now and needs to be refurbished. An internet cafe/service center will do well at that location and the estimated cost to start is $3000US, which I am begging you all, all that can afford to donate. Whatever you can help me with. We are not able to save as our bills and expenses are way over our earnings.I am worried about my kids, they are not yet attending school.I am a mature person and I believe it is better to start a business now which will help to employ others in the future. Please Help Me. Thank You All.

Also Beglist is doing a great job and when I became financially stable I will make that onetime donation. Keep up the good work Beglist.

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am Vijay, an expatriate staying in U.A.E. I lost my job on 16th June 2011. Since then I am trying to get a job, but till today it is not happened, may be because of my age; even though still I’m optimistic. As an expatriate, company has to cancel my labor card and visa after a grace period of 1month and either can join other company if a job is in hand or leave the country. Because of my humble request, two times company postponed the cancellation and ending the time soon. I don’t have my own home in my motherland. Unless a new sponsor who apply for a visa/labor card and is issued by the Government, doing a job here is against law.

My wish was to continue another few years until completion of my child’s education and arrange a job here, so that at least an earning member will be from the family, after me.

Recently a Good Samaritan, who understood my struggle, agreed to arrange a visa (not a job), which will help me to stay here; but doesn’t help for an income. All the expenses for the visa must be provided by me. On his visa, I can stay here and search for a job, but don’t know how to meet the living costs and other expenses. No insurance to pass over this tough time. How low paid men deposit money for tough times?

Monthly expenses are approximately US$2100, which includes rent, water and electricity, school fee, food-two times/day etc. and not sure how many months more I stay jobless

I hope this is my first and last time request in my life to the man kind to click on the donate button and help me.

I strongly believe that the amount donated now can be given back to needy people through this site or other charity sites in near future.

Thank you very much to all the generous people for any help. May God bless all.

Where do I start? I have never done anything like this before but I have reached the bottom I believe, My wife and I both have full time jobs and yet the bills outnumber our income, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 3 years ago and miss alot of work during the winter months. I injured both my knees at work and Workmens Comp insurance is fighting paying for my right knee to be repaired, I have medical bills from all the surgerys on my knees. Our vehicles both have over 230,000 miles on them and when they break down we have to pay the mechanic and not pay our medical bills. It's very frustrating to say the least. )=
I am praying and hoping beyond hope that someone who has been blessed with extra wealth will find it in their heart to help a working family stay ahead of the bill collectors, Put food on the table for our children and keep our vehicles in safe repair.
My humble thanks and gratitude.
Tony

Pardon me while I choke down the last of the pride-burger, and the Humble pie dessert. I am about out of options, hope, and faith in humanity.

My lady and I ought to be living decently enough on our income, you'd think - but it's just been one thing after the next after the next. Between cars getting sick, my lady losing one job to an injury, my own low wage... We're not making it, to be frank. At this point, I don't know what else to do - we can't get public assistance, not even food stamps, we gross too much. Nevermind that we don't NET that... We can't even answer the house phone for all the harrasser calls these days. We're often short on the rent. (Thank God that the landlord lets us make good late...) If we could get just a little help, in the grand scheme of things, we'd be able to be OK, to help others as we'd much prefer to do.

Here's how it breaks down:

Absolute best possible, turning backflips in the yard, what do you want I'll give it to you, anything short of our children where do I sign and do you want it in blood target: $7500 free and clear. That kills about all the debts, all the loans, fixes the van, fixes the car, rent is paid. I wish I thought it likely. I know, it isn't.

The We-have-a-fighting-chance level: $3250. Again, it clears the critical debts, gets the cars on the road. We have work to do, but we can manage.

The Take-off-the-pressure level: $1000. Gives us enough room to breathe, though Christmas will be lean.

I am terrible at asking for help. I feel like a failure as a person, as a father, as a provider. I'm sure most of the people here feel just as bad as I do. But I'm also clinging to the hope that somewhere out there is the person or people that will prove the pessimist in me wrong.

Anything you can afford to give, be it thousands of dollars or just a buck, will be greatly appreciated.

Please, do what you can. Not just for us, but for anyone you know like us - good folks, who've caught a bad run of luck.
