Since today is Mother’s Day, I wanted to share my journey thus far and what it’s meant to be a mother for me. My story is unique in that I’ve overcome various obstacles to gain what some may call normalcy. Now I’m facing a struggle in which I’m hoping to tap into the kindness of the internet in order to help me through this hurdle.

I was raised by a single parent and grew up in a town where most families were on some sort of government assistance and could barely make ends meet. I was always taught to value what I had and that hard work will always bear its fruits. My high school was filled with kids who didn’t care about getting an education. I was a introverted “nerd” who took Honors and AP classes and saw education as a way to get out of a town that didn’t have much opportunity for growth. While I valued my education, I was also bored to death, even in my “accelerated classes,” so I stupidly acted out and started to party as high school kids do. I ditched class to drink and dabbled a bit in drugs because there was nothing else to do. Even as I partied, I still managed to remain on the honor roll for all 4 years. Fast forward to the beginning of my senior year, our class had 250 kids and throughout the year approximately half of the student body dropped out at one point or another, giving up on their 14 year investment in their education. I made it to the end, but while everyone was excitedly responding to college acceptance letters, I had to throw all of mine out. Why? I was pregnant. I fully accept responsibility for my actions, but sex was not talked about in my household. I had no idea I had access to birth control or condoms and foolishly made a mistake that would change my life. I went to my prom and graduation 3 months pregnant without anyone knowing aside from my family.

The summer after graduation was spent brainstorming options and finding a job to help support my unborn child. I decided to keep the baby, thinking I would give it up for adoption. I was too immature to take care of myself, and now a baby? No way. As the months progressed, I fell in love with the baby and decided to keep her and raise her with the help of my family. I was excited but deep inside I was depressed. I really wanted to go off to college and live the life of a student living on campus, making new friends, staying up late to cram for midterms and possibly travel a bit. I couldn’t do that anymore and the thought of experiencing college in any other way didn’t entice me. I also knew if I didn’t get an education, I’d be stuck in a cycle of dead end jobs all my life. I knew I didn’t want to struggle like I’ve seen my family fight just to put a decent meal on the table and keep the lights from getting shut down.

I started college two months after my daughter was born. She was perfection and an incredible motivator. I’ve always thought that she deserves something better, beyond what I can give her but I decided to try my best to give her an amazing life. Since I just had a baby, I wanted to explore the opportunities I had outside of a traditional classroom in college. Luckily, the local community college offered online courses which only required me to be in class on the first day, at midterms and during finals week. I did this for a year and a half until I took every online course possible. Then it was time for full immersion into college. Here came daycare and having to balance college life with working and a small child.

My average day in college looked like this: we’d have to wake up at the crack of dawn so my daughter and I could ride a 45-minute bus to school. Unlike most of my classmates, I had to dash straight from work to class or go to work right after class so that I could pick up my daughter from school at a proper hour. I was very fortunate to land a job in a small office as an office assistant during college that would later prove invaluable. The pay was ok, but I was allowed to tailor my schedule to be compatible with my changing class load every semester. After our day was done came another bus ride. Once we got home, I’d have to make dinner, pack us lunch for the next day, prepare her backpack with extra clothes plus wash and prepare a day’s worth of bottles for my daughter. After I put my daughter to bed was the only time I had for homework. I’d stay up until about 2am every night doing my reading assignments or writing papers only to have to get up 3 ½ hours later to start my day again.

I did this every day for 5 ½ years.

Was it worth it? Heck yeah. I got my bachelor’s degree on my wall as proof. I am the first person in my family to ever get a degree. I have multiple relatives my age who ended up dropping out for various reasons yet I managed to graduate (with honors!) while juggling a small child and a demanding job. Aside from raising my daughter, this is what I’m most proud of thus far. I read online that less than 2% of teen moms attain a college degree before age 30. I’m stoked beyond words to be a part of that 2% (Source) I hope that this struggle and success will set an example to my daughter and show her that hard work does pay off.

After college, I worked a few jobs that I wasn’t too keen on. Too corporate, too stuffy, too bureaucratic to evoke any change and make an impact. I wanted to wake up every morning and feel inspired to go to work. I didn’t just want a paycheck, I wanted to engulf myself within organization so that I could kick ass and take names. I also wanted a 401(k), health benefits and life insurance so that my bases could be covered in old age. But mainly I wanted to wake up invigorated every morning and be able to pay my bills. After college, my daughter and I moved into our first home. I loved waking her up in her room filled with the girliest of things. I was a proud mama–on my own, college educated and living life as an independent woman.

Independent but unfulfilled. That is, until I was introduced to the CEO of my most recent employer. We hit it off immediately and within two week was offered the chance of a lifetime. I was invited to join his multimillion dollar company and close-knit team as his right hand. I’d learn all the in’s and out’s of running a business in a dynamic industry and receive a nice salary. After a bit of contemplation, I decided to resign from my stuffy job to join a company I was proud to be apart of. My job was great. It was flexible, nurturing, educational and insightful. In a few short weeks, I was in the trenches with my boss handling everything from sales to contracts to finance to HR. That is, until the company suddenly went out of business. I won’t get into the details but I was told I’d have a month before we were all let go. This was the job I wanted to settle in and dedicate years to, not just a job really but a mission to which I was dedicated.

I was laid off in March with no severance pay as the company had nothing. I had a small savings which I tapped into as I began searching for a job. I had to file for unemployment for the first time, which was hard as I’ve prided myself on not having to use government resources to pay my bills. I have almost a decade of solid work history and yet I’m struggling to find a job. Places are hiring but they’re scarce and don’t always offer pay that can support a family.

My bills are piling up and I have family and friends that are in no position to help me out. Unemployment can only pay so much and it isn’t enough to put a home-cooked meal on the table or keep everything paid. I’m in the process of starting up two businesses–one that peddles vintage finds and another that provides folks with stellar resumes to land their dream job so that I can increase my cash flow, but in the meantime, I’m asking for any donations to my cause. I’m willing to offer any services in return for a donation over $30 via paypal. There’s a button below where your transaction will be processed safely and gratefully!

I just moved out of my one-bedroom apartment into a two bedroom apartment with a new roommate to help her out of a bad situation with her parents. A week after moving out, I was forced to resign from my job due to health issues affecting my quality scores. I was denied unemployment because of this, and now she's telling me that if I'm not able to pay rent, she will kick me out and either find a new roommate or get her own one-bedroom apartment. I have applied for every job I could find, and no one has called me back in over a month. Any help I can get would be loved and appreciated; if I can't make rent, I'll have to find somewhere to store my furniture and couch-hop for awhile until I can get back on my feet.

Hi, I'm Brittany, and I'd like to describe an unfortunate event that has recently befallen me.

Four months ago, during the holiday season I received a call from my mom who was facing some rather emotionally tumultuous times. She related to me that she felt like she just could not endure her life any longer and was considering ending it.

I was personally extremely concerned, as I have always highly valued and admired her. At her request, I quickly forsook all my current ambitions to come to her aid. I moved into her apartment with her and tried to soothe her with my company, and also advised her about healthy lifestyle choices that could help balance out her severe depression and alcoholism. I got a job and began helping her pay her bills when her boyfriend showed up. His first words to me were literally "I'm marrying your mother" not long after he began to command my mom to kick me out.

After many attempts to assure them I would surely save money to get my own apartment, I bought a truck to get worked on and began to save money for an apartment. At first I considered moving to stay with other family members, but eventually decided to stay in Sarasota and get my own apartment.

Without giving me any notice to find another place to live, my new "step father" stated that I would no longer be welcome there, although they knew I had no other options or any money to get an apartment.

They then went to a judge and filed a Marchment act to have me involuntarily placed in a detox facility where I was released under forty-eight hours later with negative results for all substances, including alcohol.

Now I am left on the streets with nowhere to go.

What I am asking of anyone who reads this, please assist me with any kind of resources that you know of, such as live-in maid employment, rooms for rent, a place to stay until I save money for an apartment or anything that will help me be independent again.

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

I was recently put out my grandmothers hous afer being laid off from work. She has gotten old and decided to kick everyone out. I've gone through all my funds and am no longer able to pay bills, for food and paying for a place to stay for $35 a night. I am lookng for a job and I should have one soon however I need some help until I get paid.
Any type of donation will help me pay for food and a place to stay as well as making minimum payments on my credit card and phone bill so that I can communicate with work and family.
Thank you

Hi,

My wife cheated on me while I was in Iraq on my last deployment, took all my money I made over there and left me with nothing. Additionally, I had a pretty bad accident after I got out of the Army and Tricare refused to cover the bill even though it was a Perk for extending my deployment. Im going to college full time right now and can't start at my new side job until June 10th 2012. The disability compensation from the VA for injuries from Iraq will take another 8 months to kick in, and the money of the VA GI Bill which myself and practically all other veterans are supposed to recieve is delayed, again thanks to the VA.

I'm asking for just a few dollars that hopefully accumulate, to pay my Emergency Room bills, my credit card and keep me surviving until I start my new job and the VA finally gets its act together.

Thank you

Please! I am BROKE! I have not paid my rent in about 5 months and my landlord is going to kick me out at the end of the month. I have nowhere to go! My unemployment ran out 6 months ago and I still cannot find work. I am very capable and VERY willing to do pretty much any kind of work, yet there seem to be no job availabilities. I find a few odd jobs, but that income goes to heat. I am living off food from a food pantry. I would live in my car, but I don't have one...it got repossessed! If I could give my landlord at least a little money, maybe I can buy more time until I find a job! Any donations would be GREATLY appreciated, and hopefully I can pay them back in the future! God Bless, and thank you for reading!

Hey I'm not here for you all to pay my bills or anything but I recently lost my job and it's been rather hard but hey I'm a free American so there's my sanity lol. My birthday is this week and I just want to have beer money to kick back and relax before I get back to my long job search, hey I'm no sob story but wouldn't it be awesome to know your helping a guy have a super b day lol

Hi i moved into my house about 7 months ago, its privately rented and i have missed 2 months rent and my lanlord threatens to kick me out and i have nowhere else to go all the family i had are now deceased, my partner has not long ago left me, i have a little girl aged 2, she is all i have left and i am classed as disabled and cannot work no more and the benefits do not pay for the mortgage and im short by £500, all the money that i have has gone food for my little girl, im even going without food just so she can eat, ive sold everything in my house that is possible i only have the bare minimum essentials left. im using my friends mobile to post this as i sold my laptop, my phone will be the next thing to go but that is my lifeline and need it in case of an emergency, £500 is what i need but anything is better than nothing and i would be so grateful if any amount of donations would be made

I recently became disabled, I am a mother of 6 children ages range from 5-13yrs. I have a husband who tries his best to keep us afloat. Disability does not kick in for another week. Our rent is past due, and our bills are doubled. Power is to be disconnected today on Feb.27th! We are so out of luck right now, we don't know what to do. We are facing eviction pretty soon. I thought income tax would be great as I was a health care worker, but that is only $500 due to having so many children they weren't taking off any taxes! We are basically living on our Child tax right now, as my husband needs to take care of us and is only getting part-time hours at work. We applied for loans and were denied because we have no full-time income right now. We have no savings, or any kind of bonds to fall back on. We are very desperately seeking some financial assistance, even if someone wants to pay a bill directly...We are not looking for cash...We have helped so many people, and it feels like there is nothing we can do or say to get help. We have liquidated our assets and only have our basic needs met right now...which is food and shelter for the time being. I have had to defer payments on our vehicle loan, and we are running out of time for that as well. As a working family we were making all of our payments to rent, utilities, loans on time...Now we are far behind and it feels like there is no getting ahead. I will be recieving disability insurance but that is only 66% of my income and that will be on March 2nd and we will be 2 months behind on rent at that time, and we will not have power if we are not evicted by then. I never ask anyone for anything but if anyone out there hears our cries for help and is willing to do a huge favor we would appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts and we are willing to do anything even if it involves repayment or another favor in return.
Sincerely,
Very Desperate

Hi. I am a low-income disabled woman in need of some financial assistance. In August 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery in October 2009 to remove both breasts along with reconstructive surgery. In December of '09, I started 6 rounds of chemo followed by 35 radiation treatments. Although the bills were astronomical, I was struggling along trying to pay them. My only income is social security disability. My healing was progressing until I developed a hernia from the reconstruction surgery (they took part of my abdomen along with my abdominal muscles to construct my breasts).

In Nov.'10, I had surgery to repair the hernia as well as the second phase of reconstruction to my breasts. I was to only be in the hospital overnight but due to complications, I ended up hospitalized for 2 weeks. I returned home the day before Thanksgiving but still was not doing well. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, the paramedics were called to take me to the hospital again. It was determined that I was in acute renal failure due to a bowel obstruction. I was in ICU for a number of days. While in the hospital, I was placed on dialysis with the hope that my kidney functions would kick back in. After another two weeks in the hospital, I was released to go home.

On New Year's Day of 2011, I began feeling ill again and was taken to the ER. After several tests, I was admitted again and scheduled for a colonoscopy to determine the problem. It was discovered that a section of my colon was almost completely closed off. I was scheduled for surgery to correct this. I Thought they would just remove the bad section, sew me up, and I could go home in a couple of days. I woke up with a colostomy which I had until April of 2011.

All this time, the medical bills were steadily racking up. On top of all this, Ever since the chemo treatments, my teeth have been feeling like they are about to fall from my head. The chemo did damage while undergoing treatments.

I would really appreciate it if I could receive some assistance in paying these bills and getting my teeth fixed. I am on a fixed income and can barely make ends meet. I receive food donations from time to time and that helps me tremendously with groceries.
