i have experienced a major loss of income and an increased living expense and have fallen behind on my bills so bad that i can not even dream of a future. i know what i need to do, i am determined to do it but i am unable to afford the cuurrent bills and find it difficult to even dream of fulfilling my plans for a secure future for myself and my children. my plan is to catch up on the current bills, get out of the car loan that i currently have and purchase a vehicle that has less expensive payments, repair my credit,my taxes and enroll in courses for real estate and/or bookkeeping. i have 2 children who have suffered and lost out on so much due to the finances, the job requirements and insecurity. i really need help to follow through and i promise to pay it forward when i am able. i will appreciate any help i can get and will keep all donors posted on the progress if they are interested. i have worked hard my whole life and have never caught a lucky break. unfortunately i have chosen a career that requires skills that i either do not have or that i am getting too old for. i have been in this business since i left home at 17 and have worked in every facet of the business but the job i am best at is for younger people and i am quickly approaching the age where i will no longer be able to comprete or will find employment less likely. i am looking for a better life. an easier life and the opportunities that i deserve but i am unable to obtain in my current situation, job and finances. please help me. i need approximatly $15-20000 but anything will help , be very appreciated and well invested. thank you

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.

My mom got a notice yesterday on her door saying they will auction her house on March 8 if she cant come up with $4000. She has been turned down for all loan modifications up to this point and along with being unemployed she is a couple years shy of SS and out of luck. Every penny has been invested into this home and she has nowhere else to go.

We desperately need your help! We are a small church located in an economically disadvantaged community. We own a house that was deeded over to us by a former pastor and are at risk of losing that property because of our inability to pay some past due taxes on the property.

The house was deeded to the church over 30 years ago by a former pastor of the church who had become ill and subsequently passed away. The house is not located in the same community as the church. (In fact, it is some distance away from the church, and therefore could not be utilized for church-related purposes which would have taken it off of the tax roll). As a result of gentrification in that community, the property values have increased tremendously. The property tax assessment for the property owned by the church escalated to staggering heights during the housing bubble.

Because of this the church has had much difficulty keeping up with all of the taxes on the property (a general tax, a school tax, and a village tax). The rental income from the property is used to assist the church with operating expenses, maintenance of all of the church properties, as well as paying the taxes. Finally, reassessment in the last couple of years has brought down the amount of taxes to be paid and we are better able to handle some of the current taxes due, but some of the older taxes were sold and consolidated in tax lien sales. The consolidation of the prior taxes due has hurt us tremendously. Numerous times the unpaid taxes were consolidated prior to our completion of raising enough funds to pay off some of them in their unconsolidated state. Individually some were $1,000 to $3,000 respectively. They have been consolidated totaling almost $19,000. We are not permitted to pay the liens individually which was viable, we have to pay them in total.

There is a holding company based in the community where the house is located which purchased those liens. That company is now a few months away from being able to begin foreclosure proceedings and take a valuable piece of real estate out from under the church. This would be devastating to the church.

The church has been in the process of trying to sell the house and use the proceeds from the sale to build a much needed new church building in the community it is located as well as to pay off those outstanding liens at closing, and to unload a property that was once a blessing to the church, but has long since become a burden. We don’t want to lose the property. We want to be able to sell it. We had some offers on the house, but at the last minute a promising deal fell through. Previously interested buyers, for some reason now, are less interested. We feel it is possible that there may some collusion within the community where the house is located to wait for the lien process to move forward and that potential purchasers connected with the holding company will be able to take the property and flip it to tremendous financial advantage, while leaving the church with nothing for thirty years of struggling to take care of the property.

It is important that we are allowed to sell the house and build our new church. We are in the final stages of making the new building a reality. All we have to do is secure the construction financing. Receipt of a commitment letter for the sale of the house is all that stands in the way of a 40+ year dream for the congregation. It would give us the down-payment that we need to move forward.

With the construction of a new church, we would be able to operate before and after school programs, have handicap accessible restrooms, and provide better services to the community. We have a senior citizens housing complex across the street from our church, and many of the residents would attend our church but they are unable to climb up and down the stairs to the single-person restrooms in the basement. We also operate a summer day camp which would benefit greatly from having more space in which to operate. We would be able to accommodate many more youngsters, many of whose families are unable to afford the other summer camps operating in the area. We have had to turn down prospective campers because of space constraints.

Our congregational makeup has changed over the years. The financial impact of that changed has been coupled with the severe impact of the economic downturn on our community. We have more retirees now on fixed income, youth, and small children, many of whom have young mothers, and some people who are working age, mostly with working class wages. We need to build a church to better meet the needs of our congregation and community. We operate a food pantry and soup kitchen which would be able to open more days a week with bigger pantry space and a modern commercial kitchen.

As I stated, we are in the final stages of the building project. We have our permits, plans, and contractor selected. We are ready to obtain financing. The congregation, which has always striven to do much with little, has invested much in this projected over the years and the sale of this property owned by the church is the one thing that stands in the way of it happening. Please do not let us lose this property just so a few people can make a quick buck. Help us to pay off these tax liens so that our church will be able to help transform an entire community!

Greetings good people. First of all, let me thank all of you who are about to take your precious time to read my story. And secondly, I would appreciate any help I can get for me and my family. My family and I are in great danger of losing hope altogether. We invested so much in order to make it but failed miserably. In this day and age when our businesses are being outsourced pretty much everywhere, we tried to do something good for us and for our country-we invested our hard earned money in American company and distributed their products. We did everything from marketing to selling. At one point we were required to physically be in the country where we distributed the goods. It was necessary to make things work. To make the long story short, the American company we distributed goods for decided that we need to take enormous amounts of goods per one order and that we need to pay them $5,000 for website or they'll make our contract void. That's what happened and in the process we ended up living on two continents struggling ever since. My mom and I are in this small country in Europe and my dad is struggling in America. I would be brave enough to invest in another venture involving American company but I need assistance to start up. Any amount of help would be greatly appreciated. God bless!

My home is turning two months behind as of the Dec.1.and they tell me payment needs to be made on one of the monthes before dec.10. I work a full time job and hold insurance for my children. I provide them with food but things are so bad I sold about everything I have to pay for my vehicle,and kids lunches,and exterminator. I can not sell the vehicle because I do not live on a bus line and the kids are in cardio club,and basketball.(Which the car payment is behind one month.) I have nothing for my children for christmas and keep on praying for a miricale but no answers yet. I recently went through a bed bug problem in my daughters room, that I think it came from school. I pay for childcare while I'm at my fulltime job and cant afford to get a part time job because daycare prices are so high and a pt job only pays so little. My heat is shut off and I am heating a house that is only 10 yrs old with a cerosian heater because I don't have the 278. to pay the old bill. This stinks. Please help me figure something out. I have an elementary school, middle school and a high schooler that is to young to get a job still.I feel like throwing my hands in the air and saying just take my kids to a warm home and put me in jail. I feel like I have let my children down. I am a devoted mother and super hard worker. ( Receiving Clerk) I have never been so low in my 38 years of life. Please help and pray if you believe in prayer. Thank you.FYI, I have asked the school for help and they say and so does states assistance I make to much money. but, they want the kids to have no transportation and no car insurance which in kentucky is manditory. and they tell me to move.Also tell me to drop health insurance on them for awhile.(Who would do that) My home payment is 855. a month cheapest none roach infested apt is 750 a month. Yes hundred dollar differnce but I have 10 years invested in the home. I know things will get easier if I could just get caught up. Anything will be apprecaited.

It is too much to bear. I sold my home under contract to a black woman who turned out to be lying crack head. She refuses to pay me the 6,700 she owes me. I am so poor I cannot afford to file in court the 147.00 needed to go to small claims. Also the mobile home I purchased has 2 rooms gutted and unfinished. I need the bedrooms to have floors and walls. I have a 21 year old son with autism and get no help at all from county or social work, etc. I'm also trying to make my home suitable and finished so my granddaughter can come live with me. Her parents are neglecting her and I need a suitable room for her to live in. The home I sold was fixed by me and husband. We invested money so we could get a few thousand but we got nothing! We moved into the mobile home we reside in now but since the "buyers" have not paid, we are unable to finance any fixing the house desperately needs. Also, my husbands car dealership mechani's job got axed and he is looking for ful-time work. I was just given a job after neing out of work with uterine/ovarian cancer and heart surgeries for 5 years. We could really use a donated automobile, and the $6,700 that our "buyers" owe us. We can pay back if and when the judge awards it. We have real estate contract proving that they bought and they are clearly in default. We have always been hard-working people. I need a car to get to work now so I can earn custody of my granddaughter from her unfit father.Please call Kim Freeman at 610-703-1452 if you can donate a vehicle that runs well and any money at all.

My wedding is coming up in 2 months and I was just laid off from my position a couple of weeks ago. I'm getting a whole $91 dollars for Unemployment, which I'm trying to stretch just to pay for food and gas to job search.

It seems like there is nothing out there right now and I have no idea how I'm going to be able to pay for the other half of the deposits that I committed to when I was still working. I'm selling everything that I can to try and make things work, but my family has invested everything they could into the wedding already and I don't want them to be out the money because I couldn't cover my portion. I'm the only child and the only one in our close relatives who will actually be having a wedding, and the same goes for my wonderful (though also struggling) fiancee... so it's a big thing for our families.

Other than a back injury that prevents me from doing certain kinds of general physical labor, I promise that I am applying and trying for anything I can get. I would really appreciate any little bit of help that comes along. If you've been in a stressful situation like this where everyone is counting on you to make something work, and if you don't you'll be letting so many people down, then give me a hand and I'll pass it along to someone else when I'm in a situation where I can. (Hopefully when I'm done with school and can qualify for an actual career instead of a potentially unstable job!)

Thank you!!! ^_^

In recent years I have put so much focus into taking care of the cost of living including rent, car costs, and medical costs for some unexpected health issues. My job does not offer health insurance and when I looked into out of pocket cost I just could not afford it. Health wise I am doing pretty well. But, even with daily care, including brushing, flossing and mouth wash my teeth proceed to decay. I try my hardest to care for my teeth, I do not smoke, I don't regularly drink alcohol, and I invested in a cyber-sonic tooth brush after reading about the over all benefits of using one. I maintain regular normal oral hygiene, but I have defined decay and pain.

I have a family history of poor dentition. When I was a child I used to have enamel treatments in which is they would put a layer of clear acrylic over my teeth once a year. It has been many years since those treatments. Another issue that compacts the pre-existing issues is acid reflux I suffer from while I sleep, which the dentist told me furthers the decay, especially in the back. My teeth desperately need care.

Recently one of my teeth began to hurt, I bought a few over the counter remedies and tried to deal with the pain in hopes it was temporary. The pain persisted so I decided visit a dentist. After examining me he told me the immediate problem was two abscessed teeth both needing root canals. Both teeth combined were $6300. I need far more work than that done and some of my teeth may be beyond repair.

They say the smile is the gateway to the soul. I want to feel comfortable smiling and talking. I don't want to wonder if someone see's my teeth. People shouldn't judge but they do. I just wish I could do what is needed to feel comfortable. At this moment, it seems such a difficult goal to reach. Please help me.

I really need some assistance. I just moved into a new house, and my ex gave me a bad check which caused my check to bounce, and all kinds of issued in my bank account. I now need $1750.00 to pay te owner of the home so that my child and I can continue to have some place to live. The past couple of years have been hard on me. My daughter's dad is no longer paying child support, I was in the mortgage business and that turned sour, which cause my income to evaporate. I now have a steady job, but just not enough to handle this. I borrowed from my boss to pay part of the money, but that was my whole paycheck I was supposed to get today. I can pay the money back, if given a payment plan over a few months. I have already invested all I have into this house, and I don't want to lose it. Any help would be greatly appreciated...I'm desperate. I need $1750.00 by Monday, April 5 at 5:00PM.

I am 20 years old currently working only 12 hours a week trying to keep the house me and my mom have lived in for 20 years. My mom, trying to make our life better, invested and lost all her savings of 150,000, and then took out a second mortgage to invest into another one. The second one kept us afloat for a little while, then went under too.

She lost her job almost 2 years ago and got into a car accident a year ago which left her weak. She is 64 years old and only gets 900 in social security. For the last year and a half or more we've been subsiding our income with credit cards, we have one left and it can only hold us for the next 2 months. She talks about killing herself so she doesn't see us living on the streets, so I can just go live with my father. I don't want to live with my father, I don't want her to die.

I make less than 600 together me and my mom make 1500, we need 2500 to pay off bills and debt. If there was no debt me and her would of been living fine in our apartment but we cant. and we need help. please.

If you want to see pictures of me and my mom, our house, our cat, our bills, I don't care, if that will help you help us I don't care.

Thank you so much for considering us as recipiant of your donations. I am living with my father right now because of financial problems with my mother and her boyfriend. My dad owns a wealth management company that has been sued heavily because he invested in fraudulent. He has done an amazing job making sure I have everything I need. But lately I have noticed letters saying that our bills are not being paid on time. I also noticed that my dad skips meals so I can have larger portions. He has changed lately and I hate the financial destress that he feels. I am trying to get a job but I do not know how much help I can be. Please! help a dad who deserves a break. any contribution is deeply appreciated and needed. Thank you so much

Just about every country has been hit badly by he recession some worse than others. I’m from Ireland an absolutely beautiful country with some of the most wonderful people on earth I believe. But this is changing; Irish people have been hit badly since the downturn. Depression has hit every home. People who worked all their lives now have absolutely nothing to do with their time. Most of my friends and family are on medication for depression. My father is a builder, he worked since he was 15 he is now 54. That’s nearly 40 years of getting up going to work providing for his family. He has been out of work since 2008 and this has nearly killed him. He has ended up in hospital numerous of times for stress. He is a changed man never do I see him smile. It’s so sad. He invested his hard earned money in the property sector and now owes a fortune.
People are feeling so bad because the government is not solving the crises. There are no emergency plans to get people back to work. Unemployment has reached a record 13%.
Ireland was the fastest growing country in the world, everything was great. The building trade was booming, everyone was working, money was everywhere. Getting a loan was so easy for a car a house whatever you wanted. Everyone was happy. When I left school everyone walked into a job.
I worked from 16 I’m now 29. May 2008 was when I lost my job as a bricklayer. I loved going to work having the craic, going out on the weekends having the craic it was a great life. All my friends had jobs and money good times. I got a mortgage on a lovely new 3 bed roomed house in 2007 with my girlfriend it was so exciting. We borrowed 375,000 euro from the bank without any problems. Payments were 1500 per month. This was easy to repay as we were earning 90,000 pa between us. We had two cars costing 150 pw. We were sorted, lovely house good jobs and job security.
That all changed fast. In 2008 I lost my job. I was unemployed for the first time. My girlfriend lost her job 3 months later. We thought we would be fine that we would find work somewhere.But we were wrong things got so bad in Ireland that only the public sector workers had a chance To keep their jobs. Everybody else was fecked. Within 8 months I had lost my job, my house, my car and my girlfriend and owe more money to banks and the credit union than I will ever earn again.
It took me a while to get over my losses and now I’m ready to start over. Problem is the country is not ready to start it is getting worse. Still no jobs no money to invest and now maybe a bailout is needed from Europe just to feed us.So I have decided to go to Australia to get a job and help my family out with the bills. But I have no money what so ever. I’m living at the mothers getting the social welfare but can’t save a cent from it. It’s just enough to pay some interest of my bad debits and buy some food. There is no where I can earn money nobody I can borrow from I’m just stuck in this debt riddled country. Life is passing me by just stuck here living at home its so depressing.
I have always worked hard for what I had. Now Im worse off than people in a third world country. Maybe not worse off but at least they don’t have the banks demanding everything.
Anyway I wrote this because I cant think of any other way I can get to Australia other than to beg for the money. This is what I’m lowered to do. If this doesn’t work than I’m stuck here and I know within a few months I will also be taking depression medication just to block out reality.
If you can afford anything at all can you put it in my paypal account. This is so embarrassing but I have no choice. If you help me out I will e-mail you and let you know how I am doing and as soon as I get a job in Australia I will repay the money. That is the god honest truth every cent.

I am a wife and mother and just can't seem to get past the struggle. My husband works 6 days a week as a mechanic, and still brings home only $300.00 a week. A tree fell on our home last Christmas and a lot of the money has been going for repairs. We still need flooring. I was getting $388.00 a week in unemployment benefits but that has run out. We have already bought a new roof, walls, drywall, plywood, windows, ect for our home and invested over $5,000.00 Now that my unempployment has run out, I am finding it hard to pay any of my bills, and I still need flooring and insulation before the cold weather hits. I am still applying to at least 4 or 5 jobs a week, but there is just not much work in my city :( I am trying to sell a family heirloom bible on eBay if you don't feel right giving money for nothing in return. I don't want to beg, I just want to feed my family and keep them warm..

Hello,
Thanks for reading this posting. My grown daughter and I lost our jobs and our housing all at the same time this summer back in July. We were living from day to day on the streets and rested at bus shelters at night. We did find a temporary place to stay in September for a few weeks for which we are very appreciative and we are still looking for work.
I just found out though this morning that my storage unit in Virginia Beach is up for auction this Wednesday morning at 10 AM. In the unit is the car that our beloved Aunt bought for us. I have invested very much money to hold on to it until I could afford to have it repaired.
The storage company claims they sent a certified letter back on August 25, 2010 but it was never received by me or my daughter.
If you can help me with either a $523.00 gift or even a loan, please call me immediately at 571-426-3814. You may have to pay the storage directly at this late stage of the game, but they do take credit card payments by phone.
Thanks for your consideration. Please respond if you even can make a partial payment. Thank you so much.....Bless You.....Gail and Tiffany Phillips

I am a hardworking single mom of 2 in desperate need of help. I work hard everyday but just barely make it by. My dream is to become a business owner but because i have damaged credit I always seem to be held back in fully obtaining that dream. I have invested a lot of time into learning the world of business and being educated in this field but when it comes down to it my biggest barrier is funding which with damaged credit is almost impossible to obtain. I know my calling in life is to be my own boss and to use my success to empower and help others. I would greatly appreciate any help possible and would definitely pay it forward. Thank you in advance!!!!

In 2007, I was let go from my job. I have not worked since 2007 due to severe health issues (colon cancer, failing eyesight). In 2009, I opened a Quizno's restaurant. It turned out to be the worst mistake of my life -- I had to close it, and now I'm completely broke. I invested every penny I had in it.

I also have a newborn and without a job, I can't make ends meet. I would love a job or some financial assistance. I have outstanding computer skills and I'm a terrific worker. Please help me out? I'm losing my home and I'll be on the street soon. I am very scared. Why do we have tons of benefits for other countries, but not for people in this country who are broke, can't get a job, and are losing their homes?
