I am a single mother of four and eight months pregnant. I lost my job in Jan. due to "too many call-ins" I was a busser at a sophisticated buffet in a Casino therefore could not lift anymore heavy bus tubs. It was starting to harm my baby. As a result of me having to be call in to go to doctor's appointments and check-ups, I was terminated. I've been seeking other employment although it is difficult for anyone to hire due to I am at my Last month. At this time I am help for my rent. Today is the 20th of May & I will probably be evicted in 2 days. I have never asked for help. In this case, I have four innocent children who will be thrown out to the street. I beg in the name of Jesus for help please. There is a GOD and HE will surely see all good deeds! Please and Thank you very much!!!

I am a married 59 year old disabled man. My wife is also disabled. I paid into Social Security and Federal taxes for 34 years and served my country during the Iran Hostage crisis. While getting my 50 year physical exam my bloodwork and a biospy ended up putting me through 2 chemos for my liver. Even though I wasn't cured we seemed to have stopped the progression of the disease. While going through this living hell our government would not approve my Social Security disability until I was completely penniless. My claim was finally approved after 2 years with no income or money. The judge who approved my claim was appalled that the SS Administration waited so long to approve someone over 55 with a 34 year work history. I was found 100% disabled due to a condition that ends in death. It's pretty obvious they were waiting to see if I would die! Now I do have some income which I am thankful for but it doesn't cover all my expenses. If all I had was general bills like gas, water, electric, car ins. and food I could make ends meet. I am struggling to pay my property tax. I own my home which my father built after WWII. My property tax is billed every 6 months and is over $1000.00 semi-anually my monthly check is only $1300.00 which barely covers the regular bills. Right now I am barely staying ahead of the threats to sell my home for back taxes. I applied for the Homestead Act property tax exemption for seniors and the disabled where they can deduct up to $25000.00 from the value of your home and tax that amount. The average person in my state saves $400.00 a year on this program according to their website. When my tax bill came this exemption only reduced my taxes by $164.00 a year. That's only $82.00 from each semi-annual government extortion. First I was forced to exhaust my life savings before they would approve my disability now this. I must figure a way to supplement my income. I have paid my dues and shouldn't have to struggle and deal with such heavy stress at this stage of my life. These are supposed to be pleasant years when you've lived right. Please, HELP!

Hi.

Thanks for taking the time to read my request. I'm 30 years old, still in college and living with my parents. I've made a lot of great accomplishments in my life with far less support than most people who make it this far. Of course, with that said I've also made plenty of mistakes.

I grew up with a single parent, and another parent who visited annually just to stir up emotions and make my life miserable. When I was 18, I decided to work really hard to lose weight so that I could join the US Air Force. I had a strict plan that I was going to follow to succeed in life.

Unfortunately my superiors in the USAF would not accommodate that plan to independence as they forced me to find my own way from the barracks to work (a 40 mi drive), so I had to immediately struggle to get my drivers licence and I had to buy a car on an Airman's paygrade.

My income wasn't enough to afford the car and gas and other living needs that I was expected to pay, so eventually I had to leave the Air Force before my term was up (under honorable conditions). I tried to work as a civilian. The transfer was tough and I was vastly uninformed about what to do and what my options were. I'm the first first generation college student of my extended family.

After some petty jobs that would each take more than 10 years to be able to earn enough to live independently, I finally found a nice nighttime custodian job that was at least simple enough for that kind of pay. I was the night time custodian, but I was also a guy to have on call at this retirement home where I worked. If people's toilets flooded or a nearly deaf resident left their tv on past quiet hours (once I could hear one through 3 floors!) I was the guy to send up to fix it.

Having my first satisfying job as a civilian, I was able to investigate community college during the day, so eventually I enrolled and tried taking a few classes while working full-time. College was my saving grace. I never felt like I belonged anywhere until I first started to take college courses in math, science, and philosophy. I found the tutoring lounge on campus, made a lot of friends there, and I spent many hours cramming and helping those in need.

This soon led to me finding financial aid, making arrangements with my parents (my mom and my stepfather) to let me go to school full-time while I lived with them, and putting in my 2 weeks notice at work to focus exclusively on school.

My counselors advised that I pick where I want to transfer to and then figure out the details of how to get there after I got accepted. I think this was bad advice. While I ended up choosing to transfer to a university that had my desired major, Biophysics, it was 60 miles away from where my parents lived. My car that I had bought when I was in the Air Force also eventually broke down from not being able to afford maintenance while I worked, and was towed away for being in the public street for too long.

Finally, I got accepted to UC San Diego to work towards a degree in Physics with a specialty in Biophysics. When it came time to transfer, I got as involved as I could on how and when I was supposed to receive the financial aid so that I could go get an apartment and everything, and my school kept telling me, "you should get it tomorrow" until about 2 weeks into my first quarter when I finally got the support.

Despite this rocky start, I managed to get into a good shape for myself, making my way slowly but surely through school. Learning a great deal. Eventually when I felt the struggle was too difficult, I changed my major to Neuroscience before I began my upper division coursework.

So, as I settled into my schooling and struggled with maintaining financial independence on financial aid, I managed to get myself into maintaining a great aquarium hobby, owned two great little kittens from a street cat program, led as president of a student organization for one year, and eventually I got married. I also carefully learned about the stock market and managed to make some great gains with money that I had invested from financial aid savings.

In 2010, my gains were over 100%. That amounted to $2000 doubling itself, but still, that says a lot about me as a trader. However, 6 months into my marriage, she said she wanted out, grabbed the car that we both paid into (most of the money was mine from stocks; $5500 worth), and refused to pay her share of 2 months rent. That happened in December of the year of 2010.

2011 was a difficult year for me. I fought hard to maintain things, especially my head, but it was tough. I lost 45 lbs from exercising regularly, made lots of new friends, and I got some volunteer work experience in a Neuroscience lab. But I just couldn't focus well enough to maintain my finances and my grades, so I had to drop out and live back with my parents.

Despite how tough it's been, not finding work, struggling with the ins and outs of the VA, and just needing a professional therapist to talk to and help me keep my head straight but never being able to get one, I've managed to recuperate well enough and learn a lot more about this bottom floor of society that I've been so desperately trying to escape my whole life.

I've gone looking for opportunity in every direction. I've tried changing my career goals, collecting recyclables, writing online, trying any online scheme that didn't include me forking out money to get it, imagining what I could write as a novel, tried to make money through playing video games, making goal after goal after goal for myself, but still just not being able to get just the right amount of money to put me back on my feet.

I'll be going back to school in April at the risk of having to do it as a homeless person if the VA doesn't pull through for me. They recently approved my 10% service connected disability status and now I need to jump over a few more hurdles to get my more significant service connected disabilities recognized. I'm also seeing what the vocational rehab people can do for me despite the bureaucratic issues that are stopping them from helping me all the way.

BTW, this whole time that I've gone through life with common lower class difficulties, I've been disabled with a number of small conditions that all add up to a hard time. I have lower back issues that the military has yet to own up to. Community college found also that I have a learning disability which makes some intellectual tasks show up as lower than average ability for me while the rest of my intellect is high enough to expect that I could easily get a Masters Degree or a PhD. My biggest difficulty in school is that they don't give me enough time to show them what I know or what I'm capable of.

From working with special needs students as a tutor, I have proven to myself that there is a major problem in the education system. Most teachers never simplify the material into a clear picture of what they want to teach. If you want someone to learn something, the last thing you should be fuzzy on is what it is exactly that you want them to learn. We can't all work like intuitive Jedi or sophisticated parrots.

If you help me out, here is a list of the priorities of what your money will go towards, in order of their priority If you would like to request that I spend your donation on a specific cause, please let me know:

1. A working cheap economic vehicle.
I need something that I can sleep in and that will take me wherever I need to go. Preferably something that can stow quite a few recyclables as well to pay for gas, but not an SUV or truck or van (Unless that's all that is cheap of course. Not likely but you never know.).
I'll aim for great gas mileage, but I'm thinking that I should attend some police car auctions to see what the cheapest deal I can find is. This car would make a great shelter for me while I return to my far away school.

2. Investing on the stock market.
Trust me, I know how to fish. If you want to send me a request for proof I'd be glad to compose some evidence of my finest moments as well as my worst to show you that I can do well for myself on the stock market, even during the recession. What I could really use right now, is a little bait. Trading is good money for me, but to make enough to make gains worth more than the commission cost (about $10), you need about $300-1000 per investment. $300 is more for the high risk lottery plays on the market. I even made a blog about it if you would like to see:
http://www.squidoo.com/TheYoungidealistEconomyBlog
If you are willing, we can arrange something personal so that you wont need to worry about me putting the money you offer at high risk and blow it all. Might even be able to arrange something where I could make money for you to prove myself before accepting your donation. Whatever the case, I know we'd have to make it a personal arrangement to satisfy the current laws.

3. Working towards paying my debts to my friends.
My friends have been really supportive through these hard times, though they are starving students themselves. To keep up my morale they've bought me food, given me a place to crash when they could, and even paid to have me join them at fun local events. I have some money that I've promised them back, and I plan on making due on those promises as soon as possible.

4. Paying off my debts with companies.
I've had times where I couldn't afford to pay for rent and had to leave, like when my wife left me to live with her parents. These issues follow me on my credit score and I would like to work towards removing them so that I can turn my life around.

5. Getting a good start towards paying off my student loans.
I know I won't be able to pay them off before I find a good career with my degree. I would just like to have something to start making some automatic payments with and put that part of my bad credit score behind me as well.

6. Buying a home.
My mom never owned a home. No offense meant to land lords out there, but I really think the rental system is way out of line. My mom was always a hard worker. Way better than me, yet she could never own a home because she didn't have the money. Meanwhile, people with money could live in great big houses for less than she even had to pay.
I want a house to own. Probably start with a condo and seek ways to improve it and flip a profit out of it. Then I want to keep building up money from housing until I can manage to build an apartment building.
If I could, I'd like to make an apartment building near a university that offers cheap housing using the Japanese capsule model or something even more economic and more comfortable.

7. Making an online tutoring site meant to offer free tutoring and tutoring for tips. Imagine a site (I have yet to know of one) where people can collect their resources on a class, much like they collect info on ratemyprofessor.com, but also seek help from others who are taking the class or who have taken the class. Donors like you can offer money to tutors who post their notes and stories on the site, alongside ratings from other students that they helped.
Some tutors can offer their rates for help, sell their notes online for cheap, or just offer their help whenever they can and ask to be tipped through paypal if someone likes their work. My hope is that such a site could help to put an end to sophistry in the college system once and for all, making education easy and affordable for everyone.

8. After I have everything I'm hoping for above, the sky is the limit. But I would prefer to put the extra money that I don't need to good uses. I would spread a little philanthropy around, give to others in need on this site and through other resources.
I'd also look to teach others how to fish. I think a great way for the economy to be fixed would be if philanthropists made some really good employee owned companies. Make the place pay for itself, skim a little off the top, and walk away knowing that you really were a job creator.
I think that everyone who is capable of work and who chooses to work deserves to have their own independent living situation. I know that we are a long way from that, but I tend to be an optimist. I would like to try and make the world a better place, if nothing else.

Aside form financial help, I'm interested in anything else that I could get that's useful. Advice, Neuroscience Career connections, work, hobby or volunteer work that can easily become lucrative, I'm really all ears. Thanks again for taking the time to read my request. I hope you find it in you to help me out, even get to know me if you'd like. Bet you $5000 I can make you laugh. Did I win? >;) it was worth a try anyway.

Hello, my name is John, I am 52 yrs old partially disabled man who is at the end of my rope. Once upon a time I was pretty established yet psychiatric issues have plagued me my whole life. I have just completed another 20 day treatment which makes 4 this yr for major severe chronic depression and social phobias / anxiety along with suicidal thoughts and plans. I am a recovering alcoholic 24 yrs now and thats all I have left, being sober. Six yrs ago I was diagnosed with Lymes arthritis, a rare one along with fibro mialgia symptoms. It has now been diagnosed as Rheumatoid arthritis, my medications for meds alone are over 1.200.00 a month which the state is paying, but the ins will run out soon. The ins co will not pay for an operation I need on my back. I am in severe chronic pain, emotional, physical, mental, all day every day and I am close to my end. For the past 8 yrs I owned a small garden center, and I cannot afford to re open this spring for we had a terrible yr with 2 storms wiping us out and the economy. I owe vendors who are taking me to court, owe sales tax, and am just doomed it seems. Before I was a alcohol and drug couselor, and a good one at that and saved hundreds of lives. After 16 yrs I burned out and had a breakdown. I now live with my mother temp, I cannot find work and feel like such a burden and a loser. She is such a love, the only thing holding me back from harming myself is her. Four weeks ago, my 32 yr old nephew and my beloved dog passed away. I raised my nephew like my son and I have no children, I am grieving terribly. I have a very hard time asking for help much less begging or pand handling. Everything is crashing down on me and I am single, alone and suffering . I am a good man that some how didnt make it in life.Every day I fight depression and suicidal thoughts, I am sceduled for elctric shock therapy in 2 weeks for severe depression, have never known what it feels like not to be depressed. I look back when there were days I'd pay for a strangers meals, sponsored children and animals. Is it really true that nice guys end up last? Anything would help, thanks for listening.I have no money for a paypal account nor have a checking account, my number is 203-264-8907 Love and light,
John

my husband was disable last yr leaving my to work and my doctor just told me i have lupis so i am unable to work. we have 3 kids under 13 and no income we have no family to help due to the economy. we have no other source of income untill we get our disablity started. so we have no way to pay for our car ins nor get gas to go to the doctor. So i am asking for any help at all we are really fixing to be homeless.

so, it's rare when i ask for help... but i need help, very real help.

i have to be in salamanca, ny before june 21st...

the reason for my needing to be in salamanca is because i need to check in with my tribe, the seneca iroquois indians...

i've been obtaining annuities for my tribe all of my life, and the check-ins are a more recent requirement that they've asked for,mostly to know that i'm alive and that i am who i say i am and not some relative claiming to be me... and in order to continue receiving, i have to show up... i've tried to explain my situation to my parents and asking them for help, but all i get out of them about it is "well, you need to get out there so you can keep getting them" and "good luck with that"... which really gets me nowhere and put's me in a pickle.

after i do this check in, i shouldn't need to do something like this ever again, so what i'm asking for is money for gas and lodging... and i think $500 should be enough, if not more than enough, to cover the cost of gas, food and lodging, but i'm not asking for all of it at once... i just need to come up with that amount BEFORE the 21st of next month

believe it or not, when i was homeless i hated asking for spare change to feed myself... and i hate having to do this now, i really wish i didn't have to do this, but after this i intend on being more responsible about my money and not spending it on silly and unnecessary items. getting the $500.00 that i need for this very last minuet and unexpected trip would bring me such joy, and it would also allow me to put myself through a crash course of "real world financial responsibility 101", which is a "class that i would love to take at this point.... please help me get to my tribal destination.

:) thank you so much for your help and aid in my time of need.

Now I am having to pay the funeral costs and the bills at home. The remaining funeral expence is now at 8700 dollars. I am asking for help on the funeral cost. Any help at this time would greatly be apprectiated. Thank You and God Bless.. Bill

So, I guess this is where I tell my story and list my reasons for needing assistance. This isn't so much begging as a loan request because I do intend to repay every cent to anyone who feels inclined to help.

Basically, I grew up in and out of group/foster homes because both of my parents were heroin addicts. Before I was taken away from them at age four we lived in junky squat motels where my father would boost and my mother would prostitute to support their habit. Eventually they were both arrested for crimes committed to support their habit and that's when I was made a ward of the state.

For a brief period my father got out of prison, cleaned up, and I lived with him from when I was about 8 to 11. He got me out of the foster home I was living in, met a woman at the church he started attending and got a job as a truck driver. While he was gone at work she would beat me continuing the abuse I endured previously in the foster homes I was shuffled through. It didn't take long until he started using again, and we found out that he had contracted AIDS from sharing dirty needles while he was in prison. During the time he was sick I ended up having to take care of him every day after I got home from school because my abusive stepmother was either at work or would have nothing to do with him when she wasn't. Of course, he got progressively worse and my step-mom decided she no longer wanted to support either of us, so she stuck him in a hospice. I came home from school one day and the paramedics were loading him into the back of an ambulance. For the next month she would not tell me where he was or let me contact him. At the end of that month, she left me on the doorstep of my grandmother's house (mom's mom) and was gone.

My father died about 3 weeks after that, but because my biological mother was living at my grandmother's as well we did make daily trips to see him those last weeks. A small mercy being able to spend some time with him before he died. My biological mother had gotten out of prison after my father had and had moved in with my grandmother because she was trying to get clean, but that did not last long and while we would go visit my father she would cop dope and fix up my dying father in front of me, as well as use herself. A couple weeks after my father died she split back out onto the streets leaving me in the care of my grandmother.

Needless to say with so much turmoil in my life I freaked out at this point. My grandmother couldn't handle her newly teenage grandson with so many emotional problems and kicked me out because I was so unruly. I lived on the streets, in and out of group homes until I was about 16 where finally I landed in a well run group home with staff that actually cared about the kids that lived there until I graduated high school. I re-established contact with my grandmother and mother who was once again trying to get clean. That didn't last and when she was out on the streets this time caught a lengthy prison sentence.

When I turned 18 I had to leave the group home so I stayed with friends and lived on the streets for a while again, but eventually ended moving back in with my grandmother. Not long after that she ended up being diagnosed with lung cancer. I spent the next few years nursing her, taking her back and forth to chemo and radiation treatments everyday after working the night shift as a waiter. During that time my mother got out of prison, but could no longer run the streets because now she was diagnosed with emphysema.

My grandmother did have a brief remission, but finally did succumb to her disease. After that, my mother's disease started getting progressively worse and worse. To top it all off after that she herself was also diagnosed with lung cancer. Thankfully during that time I did have some help taking care of her because I found a wonderful woman who became my fiancée. We took turns taking my mother to her chemo and radiation treatments.

Now, there is a lot more detail to this story with many more ins and outs, but that is the general outline. I guess you're probably wondering where the begging comes in and what I need it for?

Ok, here goes:

During that time my fiancée's horse riding lesson business tanked, and because of the nature of my mother's disease someone always had to be home with her because she would fall asleep sitting up and choke her self to death so someone always had to be home with her precluding at least one of us from having a regular job. We got a small stipend from the state for taking care of her in home, and she would do web design and find odd jobs off of craigslist/the internet and that's how we'd survive every month.

Unfortunately it ended up not being enough to survive or get my mother to her treatments every day. She was on medicare and the closest hospital that would accept her insurance was 40 miles each way. So, she ended up shoplifting groceries for us and got caught. I bailed her out and we took care of her case, or at least we thought we had. Cut to 2 days ago, my fiancée and I are awoken by bounty hunters stating that she missed a court date and they had to take her in. Her bail is $20,000 because now she has a failure to appear, and since my mother died about 6 months ago she's been taking care of me and has been the sole bread winner like I was when her business was tanking.

Our rent was due 3 days ago and the manager of the extended stay hotel place we live at told me we needed to be out by yesterday. I have about $10 to my name and if I don't have $600 to him in the next day or two I am sure his patience is going to run out and me, and my two dogs are going to be out on the streets, my fiancée will not have a home to come back to when she gets out of jail, and we will lose all of our stuff. If any of these details are unclear of if you have any questions about my situation please do not hesitate to ask.

If there is anyone out there that is inclined to help us in any way our gratitude would be eternal. As I said, this would be a loan. We would both work to pay you back as quickly as possible and I am not opposed to working for it now if someone has work for me to do. Also, if anyone would be inclined to help bail her out we could pay you back even more quickly. Neither of us has any family to fall back on or ask for help so this is the last thing I could think to do.

Feel free to contact me any time, and I will get back to you as soon as I can! Thank you for reading this, and considering to help. My gratitude is immense and eternal.

Hello, my name is Linda. I am posting this in hopes of getting some badly needed help. I have hit a stretch of bad luck and I am asking anyone willing for help. I lost my job a few months ago and have been unable to find employment. My husband graduated school with a dental hygiene degree almost a year ago and has been unable to find a permanent job besides a few sporadic fill ins when someone gets sick. We have been struggling for a while but I have been able to sell things off on Ebay to make ends meet. Right now I don't have anything left to sell and we are on the verge of losing our apartment. I am begging any kind soul out there for help. I have a PayPal account I used in selling my stuff on Ebay. I am gratefully accepting any donations you can send while we try to get through this hard time and hope we can help someone else out in the future the same way. Please send donations. Thank you so much and I promise to give back to the community as you have helped me.

My husband and I are seniors. He has had a serious illness since he was 35, and I can barely walk now. My husband tries to work all he has to get to work is a bike, and he's skin over bones, and barely eats. Now he's so sick, he hasn't been able to get in two days of work a week. He's been off over a month. Financially, we have nothing. We sit here hungry our frig is empty except for milk, and the problem is because of his illness, he won't eat anything at all hardly. W e have no money. Our electricity will be disconnected in April. The plan they offered us, is still too much to pay. I'm so hungry. We don't have a kitchen table, and our sofa is an old used one. Neither of us has one decent outfit to wear anywhere. I'm so depressed. I can't work anywhere; I have no car, and I struggle to walk. I have COPD, but can no longer buy my inhaler. Now I'm afraid our very strict manager will evict us when they turn off our electricity. Some have said they will. Please, anything will help. We have one daughter who struggles too, and if I die, she will have nothing that I can leave her to help her. We all want our children to have more than we. If my husband dies soon, I can't afford any apartment there's no life ins., and I'm taking a bus to New York to live on the streets, but I'm scared. I can't walk much, and I don't know how to stay warm when it's freezing outside. I'm begging everyone who read this, please help anyway you can; I'll be forever in your debt, and I can tell you my family thinks I'm odd because I try to help everyone. I have literally given my last bit of money, but there's not enough compassion for each other in this world. I'd rather be this way. God be with all of you and bless you with a wonderful life and family.I hope someone will remember our plight.

Hello, my name is Sean. I am posting this in hopes of getting some badly needed help. I have hit a stretch of bad luck and I am asking anyone willing for help.

I am begging any kind soul out there for help. I have a PayPal account I used in selling my stuff on Ebay.

Claremont Optimist Club
Do any of you have children that play Rec Sports or Optimist Sports? Well, at first I was just a parent that did not understand all of the ins and outs of our Optimist Club, however, two years later I am now the President of our local area Optimist Club and have learned that we have no money, and now do not have enough money to even pay for some of our field equipment that is financed much less new jerseys. I have tried some of the local merchants in our area for donations, but times are tough for everyone. We have 100+ kids at Claremont Optimist Club and are now into full swing of baseball season. We have t-ball, coach pitch baseball, machine pitch baseball, and kid pitch baseball.....We also have softball in all of the above categories. We need money, equipment, baseballs, softballs, jerseys, field equipment, basically anything to do with sports. We also have a football program that is very good for our community, and we are possibly at risk of not being able to run it because of our lack of funds. On top of that, it costs money to do many fundraisers, and we don't have it to get one started. Any money is some money for us so please help us out. We are in the heart of North Carolina and in a hard sruck county in need of whatever we can get. Please send any money, baseballs, softballs, equipment of any kind to 2032 Keisler RD SE, Conover, NC 28613. If it is checks, please make out to Claremont Optimist Club. We will send you donation forms for tax write-offs as well as thank you cards from our teams. Thanks for anything and everything you can do to get us on a path to being something good for our community.....You can also call me if you need more information about us...My name is Rick Sadler and my phone number is 828-312-5118....Thank you so much!!!!
