Joint Tags

I am a single mother of two childeren and another one on the way. I went through a divorce this year and my ex took all that we had saved and left me with $40 bucks in our joint account. His family has done nothing but help him get on his own and mine does not have the means to do so. He is currently seeking full custody and I am having to pay temporary child support when i don't make much as it is. I need some help to get a few of my bills paid off and to be able to get out of my parents and get on my own and have my childeren back with me. I am currently exspecting another baby and my ex is the father and wants nothing to do with the baby because he doesn't want his family to know that we are having another baby together. Please help anything will help. Even just donating some items will help. You can e-mail me with question. devotedmomma78@gmail.com

I am 38 years
old and have been separated from my
wife for the past 16 months. I have two
children whom I have not been able to
see without being supervised for the
entire time we have been separated. I
was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes 11
years ago. My wife claims that I am not
a fit parent because of my disease and
that being with me puts my children in
danger. I have been fighting this in
court the entire separation, but I have
the unfortunate disadvantage of going
up against a family that has much more
money and much more power than I. I
came to the United States 16 years ago
from Ireland, where my six brothers and
sister and my parents still reside so I
do not have a lot of support here in
the United States. I am going public
with my story now because I am losing
out on precious time with my children
and there does not seem to be an end in
sight. If I had the money or legal help
to fight this battle, I believe that I
would have won back the right to spend
time with my children long ago. I am
being treated like a criminal because
of my disease. I am not attempting to
gain sole custody, I am only looking
for joint custody with the right to be
able to spend time with my children
without the direct supervision of my
soon to be ex-wife.


If this is a story that would be
interest to you, I would be more than
happy to discuss it in greater detail.
Thanks for your time.

I live in a third world country and I have done well for myself. I was working on a project that came to an end in November 2012. I have not been employed since. I am a single mother and live with my mother and three children. Because my past job required a lot of travel I opened a joint account with my mother so that when I am away she has access to moneys for the kids. I noticed a few years ago after my father’s death that my mother started forgetting a lot and repeats herself but I just thought to myself it was old age and our doctor stated it was a bit of depression.
But it escalated. I was shocked that while away working one of my kids called to say they have no money. I asked my mom what was going on as I left over EC $20,000 in the account. Upon trying to get clarification I realized my mom was sounding crazy. She began crying and abusing me on the phone saying that I am accusing her of thieving my money after all she does for me. All I was trying to do was understand what had happened to the money so I did sound a bit stern and upset with her. Subsequently my mom’s behavior worsened and she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, which she has not and does not accept. She hates me for it and blames me for the doctor’s diagnosis.
Since the contract ended we have been surviving on some of my personal savings from another account. I have been job hunting in my country and tried looking for work from home opportunities online. I started writing a novel also to see if I can sell it online. Because of my qualifications and education I never thought I would find myself in such a situation and tried all I could before deciding to try this. I don’t know how I am going to pay the bills or provide food anymore as my money finishes at the end of this month and although I am a Christian and I should have faith. I find myself being very very scared. I try not to let my children know what’s going on. They know our lifestyle has changed but they don’t know the seriousness. They are bright and intelligent and I will not want them to be affected. I thank you in advance for the help you will give me.

Dealing with the Shock loss of finances due to my moms alzeihmers condition

I am sorry to bother you but i have exausted all avenues i dont know who else i can go to for help.I will try keep this brief as possible as i dont want to bore you but will need to explain a few things for you to understand. I am 28 years old male i came out as Gay to my ex-partner on the 9th of May 2011 who i had been with for 11 years we had a joint tenancy and have a 6 year old son together. My ex partner knew that she could not make me leave our property with the housing assosiation so on the 31st of May she came home and started laughing telling me i would be leaving that night with what she had planned to do me being nieve thought she was mouthing off at 9pm that evening she called the police pretending to cry and scream telling them i was head butting her and trying to attack her and she felt in threat of her life which was a lie as i wasnt even in the same room as her i even made a point of walking into the room and calmly saying why are you lying for , anyway to cut long story bit shorter she had police make me pack my belongings that evening and leave in which my mum said i could temp stay at her house. She stopped me seeing my son even on his 6th birthday she tormented me with saying if i wished to see him i could drive down to the flat sit outside and look at him by window which i did and destroyed me. I had to take time off work as i became in very deep depression and intotal was off work for 4 months was seeing doctor and still am for my depression. On the 9th of May police came to my mums and arrested me which again destroyed me as i have never been in trouble with the law and to be honist am scared of police i spent 12 hours in a cell then was interviewed and given no furthur action as even the police officer said looks like she is playing the system, but even with getting no furthur action i was told i could not return back to the property and that if i did i could be arrested so i was forced out my home which she didnt allow me to have any of my belongings. She is very clever playing system as she is currently still making out she is unfit to work for the hurt ive caused being gay and saying i have emotionally destroyed her. I have been to Greenwich council as well as my local housing assosiation i done a housing application on the 19th May 2011 but was told i am not priority and would be waiting years. I can not afford to go private letting i can not get that kind of money together and am not entitled to any benifit help. My dad found out im Gay and wants me out of there house now i am being cursed every day by family "whens the poof going" , "wont have gay boy in my home" it is destroying me if it was not for my son i would rather die than live this so called life. I went back on numerous occassions to greenwich council and continuiously bid on propertys every week but am told i have a long wait and they will not even help me with tempoary accomadation my expartner allowed me to see son every other weekend but now she has fallen out with my mum she will not let me see my son until i have my own place for him to come , what am i meant to do. My parents want me out , i cant see son yet no one will help me with housing , I am seeing a Gay councilling service to help me deal with coming out and what comes with that but they can not help me with housing this is my biggest problem of them all as without me having my on fixed secure property i will not be able to see son and my emotional state will never improve and this scares the hell out of me. My dad is telling me i have till end of january and he is kicking me out and then what??? i have no where to go no friends or family to go to i even looked into letting rooms and then ex partner said she will not allow me to see child as its not secure for him.I AM TIRED AND EXAUSTED and in all honisty would rather be dead then alive but cant because cant do that to my son. I really need someone to help me even if it is with a tempoary accommadtion whilst i am bidding for a permant council place i have again been to greenwich council and was rudly told by a member of staff "well you should of thought about that when you decided toi tell your expartner you were gay" and told "your old enought to take care of yourself sleep in a car if you have to" i am horrified and disgusted that my own local council can treat someone in this way and again is this because im GAY . I only have one option after fighting all avenues and thats to try rase £1000 to put down as a deposit on a place i am homeless with nowhere to go have been sleeping in car and at work place i am having to resort to asking peoples good nature to donate what ever they can to help me this would be more than greatfully appricated and i make a promise that when back on my feet all money raised i will match that value and donate to charity one being young people that are homeless and mcmillian cancer. I am very sorry for having to ask strangers for help but this is my final last resort. Many Kind Regards

Hi. I opened a rehab gym last June to help people with various conditions - Parkinsons Disease,MS, MD, Cardiac, Strokes, muscle/joint injuries etc. We are doing well but I have just had to pay my tax bill and I've had to borrow £2000 from a friend to cover it. I now need to pay that back and although my business is growing I can't afford to pay it back in one lump sum which is what is needed as my friend has bills to pay now! Any donation no matter how small will be greatly received and any money I make over the £2000 I will plough 50% into the business and 50%to someone else who needs money. If you can help me I will be so grateful and full of admiration as I have never done this before and didn't know that there was people willing to help others so much. Thank you.

I am only writing this because I am beyond desperate. Before I tell you my story, thank you for taking the time to read this. Firstly I would like to make it clear that I am not ill or dying, so if there is somebody else on this site more worthy of your donation please give to them. My plight is simple. The man I have spent the past 11 years with and married last year left me 2 weeks ago for a girl (17 years old!) he got pregnant. He cleared out our savings account and has disappeared. I feel like my world has ended. I have since discovered that he has not been paying our bills so I am being hounded by baliffs every waking minute for the total sum of £1,984. I am in my 2nd year of training to become a nurse and so without our joint salaries I can barely afford to eat let alone tackle these bills, so on top of everything else I could soon become homeless. I also do not see any way that I can continue to study to achieve the career I've dreamt of for years. Should you be kind enough to donate, please believe that once I have straightened myself out I will repay every single penny I receive from this site to other people in need here. Thank you.

Hey, here is my story in the short form. Was in a lifelong committed relationship that lasted 22 years from the time I was 18, married in 1993 and had to flee in 2007 when my husband became violent towards me again. During a family camping trip he came at me and slammed me up against a motorhome and grabbed me by the back of my neck and squeezed it very very hard. Once he passed out in his truck I grabbed both kids and the family dog put them in the minivan and drove to a friend's house where the children and I would be safe as he did not know where we were.
The physical violence had stopped for many years before the marriage so I felt that my love had "HEALED ALL HIS WOUNDS" I was so wrong and fled with our kids the very first time he became physical against me again. I was a stay at home Mom when I fled from him the first time he became violent again. I had no job and he never again deposited his checks in our joint account to cover "our" current debt.
I always thought (and was told by many others) that he would be held accountable for 50% of all the joint debt that WE had racked up over the last 22 years.
WRONG! He/She who has the highest paid attorney will be able to pull you in to court every 2 weeks until the one with the less money breaks.
I work hard but put my kids first. Their Father leaves the USA on average for 6 months a year and misses any visits with his kids during his absence. He also does not pay his court order payments on time.

I was hit by a drunk driver over a year ago and lost my highest grossing job because I was unable to work for 6 months and a few months ago 2 other jobs I had were forced to let me go as they could no longer afford to keep me on.

Please help me save the only house my kids have known. The market has dropped and I have been upside down for 2 years now.
The house will go into foreclosure in the next 60 days if I can't raise the funds needed.

I hope you can find it in your heart to spare even just $1.00 to help me keep a roof over the kids head also to send out a short prayer for me to find a job would also be much appreciated.
Thank you for whatever you can spare.

Two years ago my soon-to-be Ex lost his job. Due to the type of job loss he had, the state paid for him to go back to school. During this time, we survived on my income, his unemployment and student loans. Jump forward to now. The 2 years, plus other various reasons, took their toll on our marriage and we have decided to divorce. Problem is.... neither one of us can afford to move out. We've only lived in our home for a brief time and are one of the thousands of home owners who find themselves upside down in their mortage. We have decided to let our home go back to the bank. We have 2 young children we plan to share joint custody of, so any place I move to would need to have 3 bedrooms. I'm trying to save, but with Christmas, bills and recovering from his 2 year job loss, I don't have much saved. We are all currently living in the same house, he for the most part in the basement. To say the situation is uncomfortable is an understatement and I'm worried its starting to effect our children. My credit is shot, we had to file bankruptcy last year, so ideally I'd like to have around 3 months rent plus deposit to help me secure a new place to live, approximately $4000.00. Any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!!

A Desperate Plea for HELP… Donations for Luxating Patella Surgery!


I have a Service Dog named FiFi who is a Medical Alert Dog.
My Service Dog has been diagnosed with an extreme case of Severe Bilateral Medical Luxating Patella, confirmed by two separate veterinarians, who consider it to be a chronic and serious medical condition. The grooves in her femurs, where the kneecaps are supposed to ride, are very shallow and have caused her kneecaps to slip out of socket to the inside of the legs. Her kneecaps cannot be manipulated back into place by hand.
She has developed the condition bilaterally, on both sides, her condition is at a Grade 5 out of 5 in both hind knees, which is the most severe, and she needs surgery ASAP on both limbs.

The Luxating Patellas are causing constant pain and discomfort, decreased energy level, tiring quickly, bony protuberances, bowlegged, crouching stance, swollen knees and joints, poor coordination, loss of balance, limited mobility, stiffness when walking, a change in posture, lack of appetite, and arthritis pain.
When she is able to walk she does so with one of her hind legs further out from her body, while the other affected limb is always being carried because it is much too painful to use. For the most part, she must balance her weight on her front legs as she walks, while holding her hindquarters off the ground, which is severely uncomfortable to say the least. She is no longer able to walk, or even stand on her left hind leg, and is not able to move it.

The recommendation is for her to have corrective surgery on both knees within 2 weeks. The surgeon advised that, if left untreated, the condition will worsen and may lead to rupture of the cruciate ligament as well as painful deformation of the leg bones as she continues to grow. The surgery involves deepening the trochlear groove and modifying the joint capsule to prevent the kneecap from slipping out. If there is significant deformation of the leg bones, they will have to be cut, realigned and pinned. She will have approximately 8 weeks of recovery time.

As you can imagine, this surgery will not be cheap. The estimated cost (at a reduced price) is approx. $1,900 to $2,000, per leg, not including pre-op lab work, post-op rechecks, X-rays, narcotic pain medicine, a custom-built Wheelchair for Toy Breeds (to help her get around), plus miscellaneous other medical supplies that she will need after surgery. The Wheelchair (as prescribed by her Veterinarian) must be ordered online and costs $249.00+ Tax + Shipping and Handling charges).

If FiFi does not get the surgery she needs she will be forced to live a life of constant pain with a permanent luxation that could develop into degenerative joint changes, bone deformities of the femur and tibia, and may not be able to walk ever again!

Any donation that you can make towards FiFi's surgery would be greatly appreciated!

FiFi is an adorable Toy Pomeranian with a Sweet and Loving Disposition; a Sparkling Personality and Magical Charm. She is very clever, well-mannered, and is unusually calm and quiet. She is one smart dog!
She has brought so much Joy and Blessing into my life; I can't ever imagine life without her! Wherever I go, FiFi brings out the best in people. I know she brings out the best in me. I have formed a special bond with FiFi. She is not only my Service Dog; she is also my Best Friend and part of my Family.

My dog is a Service Dog, and she's paid her dues. It is a lot of money, but my dog deserves it. She's only 7 years old.

If it were for me, I would not ask for help.

But it's for FiFi!

Thank you all in advance for your donations, prayers and support!!


P.S. I can provide good personal and veterinary references to testify that I am a loving and responsible pet parent. I can also provide medical documentation from FiFi’s Veterinarian to verify her diagnosis and medical condition.

Definition of Luxating Patella:

(Luxated Patellas are a congenital (present at birth) condition. The actual luxation may not be present at birth, but the structural changes which lead to luxation are present. A Luxating Patella, or Patellar Luxation, is a condition that involves the dislocation of the knee cap, where it rotates to either the inside or the outside of the leg. A Luxating Patella can result from a traumatic injury or from a birth defect, but it is primarily passed down through ancestral genes).
Grade IV. The Patella cannot be replaced manually, and the leg is carried or used in a crouching position. Extension of the stifle is virtually impossible. Tibial rotation is quite severe, resulting in a "bow legged" appearance.

Hello. I am a commercial driver in need of financial help. My situation is 100% verifiable. On 9/20/11 I was driving a tractor trailer in Lamar, Pa, delivering a load to New Jersey when my truck caught on fire. To escape certain death I had to jump out of the burning truck, sustaining injuries in the process. A few minutes later the truck exploded and was incinerated. There was no driver error. Everybody who hears my story tells me that I'm lucky to be alive. However, Ive been out of work ever since. I do have legal representation in a workers comp case pending in Pa. My lawyer informed me that it may take up to a year before I start receiving workers comp benefits because my employer failed to have workers comp coverage while operating his business in Pa. I have absolutely no income. I lost my home and is now staying with a relative, sleeping on his couch. My car was towed due to expired tags. My bill to get my car out of the tow yard is now $2500 and rising daily. If I dont get my car out I will lose it in less than two weeks. I'm in serious pain daily from my injuries but cant get medical treatment because I dont have medical insurance and is forced to wait until I begin receiving workers comp benefits before I can get medical treatment. I applied for and was denied public assistance because I have only joint, and not full, custody of my 6 year old daughter. Even though NC Dept Of Social Services sympathized with what happened to me they told me that nc dss policy dont allow a parent with only joint custody of his child to get public assistance despite the fact that the nature of my occupation (over the road commercial transportation)prohibits me from having full custody of my child. I cant work until I receive treatment for my injuries. I dont know what else to do for money while waiting for my workers comp case to go through.I currently cant even provide food for myself and my daughter. Everyday I'm sinking deeper and deeper into destitution, anxiety and depression.I am sincerely hoping that somebody will read my story on Begslist and decide to help me. I am a hard working American citizen that, through no fault of my own, was involved in an on the job incident that left me injured, homeless, carless and destitute. I need help.Again, my situation is 100% verifiable. If you have any questions please call 980-345-7601 and ask for Wayne. Any and all help you can provide me will be truly appreciated.

On that day I was operating a tractor trailer in Lamar, Pa delivering a load from Ohio to New Jersey when the truck I was driving caught fire and exploded. I had to jump out of the truck while it was burning, minutes before it exploded, injuring me in the process. The truck was incinerated. There was no driver error. Everybody tells me that I'm lucky to be alive. I've been out of work ever since. I have legal representation in a workers comp case pending in Pa.

I am a student who dreams of a really good education so that I can earn a degree that will allow me to serve and help others with it, but doesn't see a way of affording such a dream. 

I went to a local community college since it was cheaper and now have my AA degree. Now all I want is for a chance to further my education, but I am afraid it will cost way more money than I have or am able to earn.

I had to take off this fall semester to help earn some money, but this will do little help. I can't spare much of my money because of this so I can't afford a car and I have to live with my parents and burden them with my needs. Time is short for me to gain more money so that I can pay for college this spring semester.

I am the first of my dad's side of the family to have ever attended college and one of the few to have a high school diploma. I want to make my family proud by going farther than they did in education.

My parents are much older than normally parents are for a young adult such as me, so they need to save as much as they can for a soon coming retirement. With their advanced age also comes health problems.  My mom has type two diabetes and my dad has severe joint problems and arthritis. These joint issues have forced him to undergo within the last two years a pricy hip replacement surgery and a knee surgery just so he can walk without being in severe pain and so he can continue working. The knee surgery will only temporarily help his knee, and so soon he will need his entire knee replaced as well. With these medical expenses and retirement for both of them in about 5 to 10 years, there's little money left for them to send a daughter off to a university.

I am very ambitious in wanting to someday earn a graduate degree when it is possible, but right now I have to be focused on somehow finding a way to pay for a Bachelors degree. 

I refuse to give up my dream of going to a good university just yet, and have came here to beg anyone that reads this to please donate money to me so I can go to college. I was lucky enough to get into this university so please help me so that my dream of going there won't be shattered. I want to earn my degree that will allow me to work in the social service field so that I can help others someday.

I come begging now because I know I will have to beg later on down the road for even more money if I don't get help now to prevent me from taking out big student loans with their interest rates. I welcome any amount you wish to donate. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your donations. 

Hi I'm 22 and scince i was a child me and my mum freamed of opening up a mother daughter nail salon. Sadily when I was 15 my mum became very Ill and I dropped out of school to be her full time carer. I do not regrete this for a second, but last year my mum passed and I'ld like to raise money both for the required training and equipments needed to open a salon in rememberance of my much loved mum! With no qulificationsor experiance I'm unable to get a part time job let alone be able top aford our joint dream! Please help me make my mums final dream come true!

We are a couple, aged 37 and 38. It takes a lot for us to ask for help, but if any can be given - no matter how small - if a lot of people give a little, it can add up to a lot ;) - it would be an absolute godsend. In the past I have always tried to help, whether it was picking up someone asking for food and taking them to buy food at the grocery store, helping another couple with children with a house payment, or simply offering them a job (odd job around my home or even with the company I used to work for before I was laid off.) .

We're about to lose our home. I recently recieved a cut off notice for our utilities and in order to keep them on it will cost $181.61 the balance due however is $188.00. This will not matter however, because I don't have the funds to make the house payment coming due on the 12th of October. I am 399.00 short on the payment. The balance we owe on our home is $6,320.00. Once the house is paid off we will be able to pay $180.00 for lot rent instead of $580.00 for lot rent and house payment.. (Of which only $200.00 goes towards the balance if not paid in full - which is .32 more payments at $580.00 a month). If we can just get our home paid off we would be okay - even with child support garnishing 54% of my pay. By law Child Support Enforcement can garnish up to 65% of a payee's pay.

Just to be up front, I do have a job. Unfortunately I only work about 30 hours a week on average at minimum wage. I am very happy for my job, but after child support garnishes $478.00 a month from my paycheck we can barely make the house payment most months. I have filed for a reduction of child support, but they refuse to use my legitmate income, instead using the income I made previously when I was in a position to help others, and did so regularly. My employer has even filed an affidavit with child support enforcement stating they cannot offer me more then 32 hours and that I make minimum wage. I am curretly looking for a second job, or another job that pays better to take the place of the job I now hold. If anyone has any IT professional positions, please let me know as I would love to come work for you, or your company. That would be the best way to help us out.

My boyfriend would love to work, but he is disabled and currently has an application in with Social Security Disability, unfortunately it takes a long time for it to come through, and by the time it does we will have already lost our home. He was disabled 2 years ago last July when he was working on a wireless tower that was 80 foot tall. It collapsed under him and he is very lucky to have survived the fall, however, when he came down he landed on his ankle and the impact caused the joint to turn around backwards and upside down. He has had surgery for this, unfortunately it is still not right. He cannot straighten out his foot to walk. Because of shortening of the tendons on the inside and front of his ankle he is not able to balance or apply weight to the ankle for more then a few moments. And even that short amount of time causes him extreme pain. He tries to help around the house by doing chores such as mowing our small patch of lawn, but even that small chore takes him over 3 days to complete. My employer does not offer medical insurance, so we are without it. It makes it impossible to go to a doctor to help him get the medical assistance needed to 1. fix his ankle completely and 2. pain management. So he perseveres and does as much as he can.

Every day I have to try to get my 1984 Volvo 240 Station Wagon running so I can get to work that day. When I try to pull out onto the highway to go to work it bogs down like it is under water. It takes crossed fingers, prayer and much clutch/gas pedal manipulation for the car to pull out... and even more to get it to the speed limit. It is very scary because there is a blind corner that people speed around regularly and I'm just waiting for the day I get hit trying to pull out. Unfortunately we don't know what is wrong with it and do not have the ability to take it to a mechanic to see if they can do a diagnostic, much less pay to have it repaired. So if anyone is willing to donate their time and possibly parts to get the car up and running safely it would be greatly appreciated. It is the only legal vehicle we have.

I am trying to do odd jobs around town as well as sell jewelry that I make online and at a little shop here in Newport. It is hard because most months no one seems to buy my jewelry and the jobs are far and few between.

What is really sad is I know come the middle of October we will be homeless, my daughter's dog, Kenji and my dog, Nikki will have to go to the animal shelter if I cannot find them homes. I know I would not be able to care for them at all if we have no home in which to live. As it stands now, I haven't been able to buy them dog food for a few months, and the Animal Shelter in Priest River does not have any spare food for them, so they eat what we eat. the good thing is they are fat and very happy and loving dogs.

If you can help at all, even if it is a little bit ($1, $5 or even $10) - if several help out a little it will add up to a lot; it would be greatly appreciated, and once we're back on our feet, of course we fully intend to pay it forward by helping others.

Thank you for your time and consideration... God Bless

I want to get my husband a gift and I want it to be a complete surprise. He always knows when I am going to get him something because he handles the finances and we have a joint bank account. I have tried so many different ways to surprise him but he always figures out what is going on! (so frustrating). I need $150 to get him the perfect anniversary gift... thank you!

I was doing ok and had bills paid off back home but moved to California when my son's loony wife left him, so I sold a paid off home to go out and help him with his kids. He has joint custody. They live with me and I bought a house just recently as I thought it wiser than renting, but I should have waited another 6 months and saved myself $40,000.00, the amount which I am upside down in the house right now. What with house payment and bills my credit card debt is piling up so I could use some donations to help get that under control before I retire so I can live on my retirement. I always feel bad asking God to help me as I know there are people in a lot more need than me. Such as mother's having to watch their children starve to death or die from preventable diseases simply because they were born in a third world country and they have no resources what-so-ever. God has always helped me. I may not have always had everything I ever wanted but I always had everything I needed. I raised two boys on my own and we never did without, while their father went off, never paid child support and fathered children with two more wives. I have worked since I was 15 years old and am now 61.
