Laugh Tags

I am a sruggling mom who works. I am having trouble paying my bills and feeding my kids. I am making myself sick worrying, and I feel like Im not a good mother. My kids are 16, 14, 12 and 9. I HATE hearing them tell me they are hungry. I am relieved when they get invited to a friends house to eat. I feel like Im failing!!!!! Please, I do not use drugs or even smoke cigarettes. I have no one to help me. My parents are Jehovah's Witnesses and I have been disfellowshipped so I am ALL ALONE!!!! I live as a good christian just not what they believe. I would provide pictures of my family and copies of bills, shut off notices etc. We are very close and love to joke and laugh! It has been awhile though that we have been able to have fun. We are all feeling stressed and I dont want them to feel bad for me but they do. ANY help would be truly appreciated!!!!!

I have had depression and trauma every since I was 10 years old. It initiated when a guy attempted to rape me. Ever since then my life has been a disaster. I am always on anti depression tablets. I dont have confidence, I am paranoid, scared, afraid. I have nightmares, feel guilty and I hate my character soooooooooo much. I go to doctors all the time but they do not do anything about it apart from repeating the same medication all the time. This doctors are from National Health Service which is free for every citizen of UK. If I had money I would of gonne to a private doctor so maybe they could really help me with some kind of rehabilitations or other measures that would really help me in a long term run and transform my attitude, the way of thinking or something that would rekindle my spirit and make me a normal human being as everyone else.

I have been in university for more then I was supposed to because the trauma and depression has affected me drastically. Now I had to leave university because I can not cope because of my health and I can not even afford to pay it. If I had the opportunity to cure then I would of been able to study aswell as work. I fighted so much in life trying to pretend that I can do things like anyone else and there is nothing wrong with me but in my heart there is sorrow and pain.

Please help, you would make a miracle in my life, it would mean the world to me!!!!!!

Whoever is willing to help me they can contact me on b.paloja@hotmail.co.uk

Whoever is willing to promise me that they will help and turn up to try and benefit for themselves please do not contact me! I would rather remain ill for the rest of my life then gain unclean money! I had contacts from people who were pretending to be somebody who they are really not, pretending to be organisations and trying to put me into something illegal for their own gain and trying to use my identity! Please if you are willing to do that please do not contact me. My life is a mess as it is I dont want to make it worst. I dont want something illegal. I want real, genuine people who they want to really help with no self advantage and with no illegal intentions and measures. Whoever want to help me please provide me with identifications and some genuine proof which would prove that you want to support me with nothing in return or reward or using my identification for their own gain! It is my health concerned do not make a laugh and play with it!!!!


Many thanks

hello:)... i feel very awkward attempting to explain just how serious and overwhelming my families situation is right now...i have always been there and helped in anyway that i was able to with family,friends, and strangers. i spent most of my life making sure that the ones around me were atleast happy, hopefully healthy, and especially loved.. Now i have a baby boy of my own, i am a single mother, and i want to provide MY son with the best possible opportunities in his life... i want to experience life with him...to see his accomplishments,to laugh with him,and to always let him know he is safe..... however- like many individuals, i am having many setbacks. unfortunately some of these issues are pretty serious:( i have severe dental problems:i have since i was a child, and never had the $ to take care of it. it has reached a point that it is life threatening if i do not somehow find a "miracle"...if my lack of money ends up shortening my sons life experiences with me, i will never forgive myself. i have to have extensive surgeries...mainly what i am praying for assistance for at the moment is any type of kind heartedness and understanding....i have to find a way to afford dental implantation and reconstruction of my entire mouth:(:(...it is soo embarrassing....but above that....extremely painful every day...it hinders my time with my son, aswell as finding a good job to support him....i cant smile anymore....not because i dont want to,but because it hurts:(. if u decide to read this lengthly post, and you have it in your means to help us in anyway, then u are an amazing and deeply appreciated individual...even if you are unable to help us at this time....i appreciate the time you took from yourself to read my words. *Bless 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.

I need help to make the co-payments so I can get my teeth fixed. Please help me pay for much needed dental work which is severely affecting my health. Thank you for taking the time to read my request. This is very awkward but necessary since I'm out of options. I write this in faith that GOD will fill your heart with compassion. I have been entrusted to care for my 4 beautiful grandchildren. The only way I can fulfill this blessed opportunity is by regaining my self-esteem again.
Unfortunately I'm a victim of negligence and greed. After years of faulty dental work I’m left with no molars it’s very hard eat. I’m not looking for pity just a little bit of help. I just want to get my life back and be happy again.
I've lost all confidence and my joy. I suffer from depression because I cannot smile anymore. I wear a frown on my face something I thought I would never do. I was a happy person with a lust for life. But now I wear a frown on my face something I thought I would never do.
I’m paying the price for years of abuse. I’ve begged my husband (of 29 years) for help me but he refuse. I’ve become a recluse locked away in my bedroom. I need to (want to) go back to work. I want to live again. I just can’t do it on my own, so here I am.
I’m in need of financial assistance to pay for my dental work. I have insurance but I'm unable to make the co-payments. I’ve been looking for work in customer service since it’s hard to smile I’m left with rejection. My health is deteriorating. My teeth are rotting away. I’m left depressed and unhappy.
I pray GOD will hear me and answer my prayers today. I just want to laugh and smile again and be able to share my joy with family and friends. Your generous donation (small or large) will be greatly appreciated. May GOD's face shine on you. May you be blessed in JESUS now and forever, Amen. Aloha from PA

I'm a 31 year old male, oh and my 4 year old kitty. Life has not been easy but I always did my best to keep moving forward. From dealing with childhood abuse to climbing the corporate/social latter and falling.. I've always tried to "handle it" and do everything the right way, all on my own and helping everyone I could in anyway I could along the way.

I've worked very hard and instead of being out there in the world stealing or making babies I can't afford I got a good job, car, and bought my first home at age 20. I'm the kinda friend you know has his own issues and he don't wanna bum you out with them but you can say "Hey James, I can't make my rent, can I borrow this.." or "James my house burned down can I come live wit you?" or "my boyfriend is about to be deported can you buy his old car so we can afford the lawyers?" and my answers are as follows; How much you need?, how long Can you stay + here's $2000 come buy a co-op in my building I'll put in a good word for you, and will it pass inspection?? All this before I was even 25 and these people were older than me! Grown men coming up to my desk at work tell me "I'm hungry" or even just a simple "Feed me" while perched atop my cubicle like a starving pigeon and we'd laugh and joke and sure enough I would buy or bring in something good to eat. I'm the kind of friend that for your birthday from me your most likely to get something we saw in a store window months ago, just to surprise you and make you happy cause it was meaningful to you. Also very kind to those I don't know who seem to be in need, even when we didn't speak the same language, they were drunk and I didn't know if I was walking into trouble.

Somewhere between then and now my life has turned completely upside down. The weight of what I had previously survived (praise God) and what I am now going through don't balance anymore. I lost that home and car and job due to a disability and even though by now you must think me a generally upbeat, diligent, resourceful, praise his name in wrong or right soul I'm lost and I need to rebuild. My entire support system was slowly picked off by my family and close friends life circumstances. I hate telling people how it all happened because to me it sounds like I'm saying I'm cursed and horrible things just keep happening to me. I accept my responsibility for my end and do self checks constantly. Even when thrown into situations far beyond my years, or no one should expect and try to deal with careful thought, civility and grace.

The one last thing I had to hold on to, that was keeping me strong and helping me grow as a person was the love I thought I had but apparently I did not. Lying, fear, cheating, HIV, emotional abuse, sneakiness, poverty, hurt, uncertainty, finding out the person who was the love of your life gave him HIV on purpose but still didn't want him!, cancer and treatments, severely persistent and mental illnesses, self-centeredness, the loss of friends and family acting shady and all that was just my relationship with my EX! So of course me being me for the most part stowed my problems.. "as usual" even if it left me in a bad spot financially, emotionally or physically and I was there! Loving and Supportive even after I was almost attacked. It's a fine line between being a damn fool and doing the right thing, I know but now I'm all on my own. I'm on medicare but the co-pays and deductible are killing me, I can't stay where I am, I'm fat, unhappy and depressed but still thanking God for all the blessing, some time's I feel like asking for more would be an exercise in futility But I'm here. I recently learned that it's ok for me to ask for help. What I'm begging for is to please, please, say a prayer for one another and me! be good to one another and if you could please help me reach my $2,000 goal to a new begining of self sufficiency so I can stop being a broken person and go back to helping others, me and kitty would be forever in your debt and pray for you as well. Amen

This started happening in August. I left my house and was walking to the car when I saw out of the corner of my eye a huge birdlike thing swooping towards me. It scratched and pecked my scalp viciously and I had to run to the car. I was bleeding pretty badly and ended up needing some (expensive) stitches where it pecked me.

So about a week later I went outside again and again out of nowhere I hear a "whoosh" sound and suddenly this huge owl is scratching at my face and pecking at me. I ran back inside and again I was bleeding and scratched up, although I didn't need stitches this time. So I started thinking what is going on here?

I was attacked by this owl several times in September and October as well. It's quite large and a brownish-black color. Sometimes it "hoots" as it swoops down towards me. It seems to prefer to attack at night, although it has attacked me in the daytime as well.

The owl attacks have made me very paranoid about going outside, and I can't sleep normally any more. I lost my job after making some stupid mistakes at work because I can't concentrate. The worst thing is that people don't believe me when I tell them there is an owl who hates me and always attacks me. They usually just laugh, or they pretend to have compassion and then tell others I'm crazy. I'm constantly looking up at the sky and checking all trees and telephone poles whenever I need to go outside now. I always wear thick hats and long sleeves now as well. Sometimes I can see the owl waiting for me, perched in a tree, through the window. Once I saw the owl perched in a tree on a bright night when I had to go to the store. I made it to my car and went to the grocery, and when I came out the door and went to put the groceries in my car, I SAW THE OWL ON A LAMP-POST THERE. I panicked and threw all the grocery bags into the trunk and jumped into the car. It is following me and waiting for a chance to attack again.

Anyway, I'm asking for help here for two reasons. First, I need to get away from this owl. I lost my job and am in debt and can't afford to move unless I have some help. I want to move to a different part of my small city, or maybe even to a new city. I just want to start over. It seems like this owl has ruined my life. Secondly, I think I need some psychological counseling, but I don't have insurance. The owl has traumatized me and I'm always worried about it. I sometimes get panic attacks where my heart starts beating really fast and I start to sweat and need to sit down and do nothing for half an hour. It's really scary.

Anyway thank you for reading and please consider helping me. I think I could get a new start with about $1000, but every little bit helps. God bless you.

I met my wife in October of 2001 at a Mexican restaurant when we both lived in Mesa, Arizona. It was love at first sight; I knew she was the only one for me. And I was bold enough to ask her to marry me just 6 hours after we met. She is my cheerleader and keeps me going, even on my worse days. She persists until she can make me laugh. We were married March of 2003 and have been together everyday since. We volunteered in pet rescue adopts, Pat Tillman walks, Cancer and Alzheimer walks. Like most people in these times of struggle, have lost our jobs and place to live while in Arizona. We took a few belongings packed into boxes and our 2 cats. We spent our last dime to drive back to Michigan and be with family.

The plan was to live with my wife's parents, while we rebuild our finances and get out on our own again. However, that plan crashed and burned within one week of being there. The step-father decided he changed his mind about the whole thing and asked us to leave. Fortunately, my sister and her husband also lived in Michigan and took us in. It was to be for a short term as they are also struggling, but is close to becoming a year. Also during this time our car was repossessed, we picked up an almost 20 year old car cheap. My wife was lucky and was able to find a temporary work program right away and that will last until spring of 2012.

I was not so lucky; I applied to every company in a 60 mile radius. I have went between several temp jobs and no work for the last 9 months, while waiting for full-time work. Finally in August, I landed a full-time job 60 miles from home; this of course is hard on the used car we picked up and draining all our funds on gas money. We have now been told that we have to move out by November 1st of this year. The problem is that we have spent any money coming in on gas for the car to get us back to forth to work and what little is left over on food we contribute to the house.

We have been approved on an apartment very close to my job and still 25 miles to my wife's job. It is $1,200.00 just for the apartment, we also need to rent a small truck and get the boxes up north from storage and connect utilities and buy some food. We anticipate this costing us $3,000.00 to complete the goal. If we save hard and only spend money on gas and car insurance and no food we may have a 1/3 of what we need by Nov. 1st. We would still need to get a bed, couch, and table and 2 chairs to eat our meals at. That will come in time as long as we are together, I don’t care if we sleep on the floor. We have never been in need before and have prolonged asking for help. I just do not see another way and I am asking for help now. Please help us in getting the funds to move on with our lives. I am sure that once we are, things will continue to get better.

I thank you for your time in reading this. Whatever funds you can afford to donate will be forever appreciated.

Hello,
Thank you for taking some time out of your life to read this. I am currently a High School Senior in the US, and will be graduating around June. I am pursuing a career in fashion design, and will love* to achieve that in London. With constant mocks and jeers from family/friends about becoming a fashion designer, it is hard to get any support from them. I am currently working a part-time job, and is constantly helping out family issues at home. Since my mother sacrificed to focus on her children instead of going to college, I feel that I need to make something of myself. Yes, making it in the fashion industry is difficult, but with the motivation and devotion to make it big, I believe I will be successful. People always look at me and laugh, because they think that I won't be the next big iconic fashion designer. But take a moment to think about it though, did people know from the beginning that Coco Chanel, Gianna Versace, Chistian Dior, or other fashion icons would become so successful? With that said, being able to study abroad in London will definitely give me a fresh new start of a whole different world and lifestyle. And with all the negativity I've been living in throughout my life, I feel it's time for a change of environment and to further my knowledge in fashion. I am currently working on my application for London College of Fashion. I really feel that I can make it in the industry and will love to show others who doubted me that you can make dreams come true. So please, any amount of donation will gladly be appreciated and used for the real intention for furthering my education in London. Again, thank you for your time.
If you are willing to donate, please contact me at

There is no easy way to tell this story. I know that this letter is long and I wish it were a simple matter, but it is not. 3 days after my husband and I lost our home to foreclosure, I lost my husband of almost 16 years to suicide.

Joe and I bought our home in 1999. We had rented it for 3 years since we had gotten married on June 1, 1996. We were a happy couple and in love and we created many memories there, happy Christmases, a lot of laughter and a growing togetherness that at the end, rendered Joe and I not just husband and wife, but best of friends. Joe was my best friend.

We both worked, but the layoffs began in 2007. For years, we struggled and worked hard to make ends meet. In 2009, we were working with our mortgage company on a loan modification program. Still, bankruptcy had to be filed in late 2009. But, in October, 2010, Joe was laid off again. For the next six months following the last lay off, we worked with the mortgage company in trying to find a buyer for our home to possibly rent it back to us. Ultimately, the mortgage company auctioned our home for $98,000. All of our equity was gone and we had no home. Both of us were out of work and Joe was receiving unemployment benefits.

During that time, I watched Joe change. He had always been an optimistic person. One of his favorite things to say was, 'it doesn't have to be this way'. He was the life of the party, he made everyone laugh, and he was a good person. Joe was a genuinely sincere, loving, sweet, hardworking man who cared about others.

Even strangers. Once, driving home from work, he heard a girl screaming from a deserted parking lot behind Safeway. He pulled over and got out of the car, as two men ran by him. He said he wanted to chase them, but did not because he felt he needed to check on the girl. She had been beaten. He stayed with her and comforted her until the police arrived. They thanked him for stopping. He said he told them, 'Of course. Anyone would'. They assured him that was not true. But, that was the way that Joe thought.

I watched Joe struggle more than I had ever seen someone do to take care of our home and of me. Sometimes he would still laugh, but those times began coming fewer and farther between. Sometimes, he would cry. He would sob in my arms. It tears my heart out now to think of it. I will never in this lifetime get over this or recover completely. Joe had been in my life for a total of 18 years, 16 married, almost (this last June 1, 2011 would have been our 16th wedding anniversary), he was a good man, and he was my friend. He was my life.

Joe and I lost our home. We packed our home of nearly 16 years into a storage building. (I have since lost that building and all of our belongings).

3 days after losing our home, Joe committed suicide. He jumped off of a bridge. Despite a hospital stay and efforts to save him, he ultimately died.

The buyers of our home have turned it over or flipped it already in this short time. I sometimes go by it and look at it. I see Joe tinkering in the garage or I look through the front window and picture us having dinner together. I see where our Christmas tree stood. I look at the front door and remember when we first walked through it, when we were engaged and looking for our first (and only) home. The very first thing that went into our home, before furniture or belongings, was a small statue with Jesus and a little plaque that read 'Bless Our Home'. Joe hung that in the hallway. I still cannot comprehend that this happened. Joe was always a positive, happy person. Our wedding song was 'You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me.' by Gladys Knight. I can't listen to it now. I know you don't know Joe and he's a stranger to you, but he was my life.

I lost my husband and my home in a period of 3 days. Joe's unemployment checks have ceased and there is no income. I have applied for dozens upon dozens of jobs, everything from picking up trash at a park to a waitress to an errand runner. I have not been hired. I have few skills and he was always the major earner. He had years of experience in various outside sales. I am not a college graduate with few skills and what I have to offer is very limited. I cannot afford to go back to school. Social Security will not help because I am not old enough. Joe and I couldn't have children so often, public assistance cannot help. New creditors are coming after me, such as the homeowners association for the house we lost, his time in the hospital in their efforts to save him (due to circumstances, there was no medical insurance, however by law they were required to treat him), the ambulance and rescue team that pulled him from the water and the list and cost is too measurable to detail here. I do not know where else to turn. I am alone. So, I am turning to you.

Joe used to say, 'sometimes bad things happen to good people.' When he said that, I never imagined this. Can you please help? I am lost.

Thank you.

All My Best,

Christina

Hi... I am a stay at home mom of two kids one 4 year old and a 16 month old.
My eldest, a girl, is about to start school this year in september.

My little girl has always been special and she is the most loving thing on earth. We didn't realize till about 6 months ago that she has a condition called opticnervehypopasia and that she is considered legally blind. The time before that we knew there was something wrong with her but none of the doctors could figure it out until we went to a bigger city in our state to a childrens hospital.
Because of her condition, she is also very small for her age and just isn't thriving like other 4 year olds. She has to take growth hormone shots and thyroid medicine and may need sex hormones later in life.

I hate giving her shots everynight.. she cries and it breaks my heart and i don't do it when my husband is home because it just stresses him out to the point he can't go to sleep. (he also does a lot of overtime.. so him not sleeping is very bad... especially since he has to drive a ways to get to work)

My husband works while i take care of the kids and we are doing the best we can.. but like so many other people these days, we are barely getting by. Some months we aren't. We arent' getting social security or medicaid for disabled children either, everything is tied up in paper work. We have family around us but they have been sick and are struggling financially too.

We can't pay all of our bills and it reallys kills me inside to know that we owe doctors that have helped us and family too, but... can't pay what is due to them. We have had to borrow $50 here $100 there more than a couple of times just to keep the electricity on.

My daughter hasn't had a lot of interaction with other kids her age and as a result she is socially awkward on the rare occasion she does see other children. She watches TV and she says she wants friends and to go to "school". With how things are going now, i'm not sure how my husband and i can make that happen for her.

I really want this badly for her... i just think that denying her this opportunity is just going to delay her developement even further. I have worked with her at home with her numbers, letters, shapes and so on..... and she can read simple words already. but she is such a talkative, outgoing kind of kid that loves to make people laugh that I do feel like at the tender age of 4 she senses that she IS missing out on something already...

And that's what i am hoping someone out there will help us give her. There is a preschool close by where she will be able to socialize and find friends and just be a little kid!

That would also be great for my youngest because that would allow him to be 'the baby' a little more. Since my daughter has had a lot of things going on with her where most of our attention had to be foccused on her since she is a high needs child.

The preschool is 3 hours a day 5 days a week and costs $5 a day and $2 for snacks.
Any amount of money/gift card or whatever you wish to send as a result of this post would be greatly appreciated....

1930 E 540th rd pleasant hope, mo 65725
you can also send throuh paypal.


If i don't recieve any money at all for this post... i thank you for taking the time to read this anyway.... writing about my family's struggle and mine atleast lifted a little of the ginormous weight on my shoulders for a little while...

Thank you.

He is not here to help people like us!He lied to me for months promising me help that I never received and because of that I am suffering.He had every opportunity to help me and chose to extend false hope and laugh at my desperation.Please do not make the same mistake I did.All I wanted was some decent clothes to go to job interviews,a phone to help me find work,and some bus money to get there.Rather than flatout tell me he wasn't going to help this man told me a check was on the way to my mailbox(a mailbox I no longer have!)and had a good long chuckle as every day I checked it and every day was disappointed.This man had his fun by offering false hope.

This man is a liar.He will claim to help you and then sit back and laugh.He likes to take advantage of desperate people,promise to help them,and watch while your hope dies!Do not fall for it!I have been trying to find someone to help me with anything that will help me get a job and he strung me along with an offer of a check that he never sent.Thanks to him I am NEVER going to be able to get back on my feet and work again,which is all I want!His ads are all over this site.They are fraudulent!Don't believe ANYTHING he says!

Hey everybody, my name is Justin. To start things off, I'll be honest and direct. I made the really dumb mistake of playing some backyard football without any mouth protection about 5 months ago.

So, needless to say, I chipped both of my front teeth really bad as I was making an attempt to tackle my brother. They are bad enough chips that I was advised I should get two crowns to fix my dental situation.

With all of that being said, I have no income at the moment. I was laid off from my previous job last week, and am now waiting to hear back from the Unemployment Office to see if I qualify for unemployment benefits.

I've honestly been hiding my smile for the past 5 months, I won't let anyone see it because it looks that bad. Whenever I'm hanging out with friends and family, I hide it. I don't even laugh in front of anyone else in fear that they will see my smile.

With the cost of both crowns, and all of the dental procedures that come along with it, I figure I'm going to need about $2,000 to cover it all.

So please, if there is anyone out there who is willing to donate, I would greatly appreciate it. Please help me to bring my smile back! Thanks for your time.

I've spent over $7,000 on root canals & extractions over the past few years, and I'm almost done with the necessary work. Then I can move on to what my dentist sees as the best solution for someone in their 20's- 4 dental implants supported by partial dentures. I have 3 empty spots in the front of my mouth, and I'm so self-conscious about them that when I smile/laugh, I cover my mouth with my hand and feel very silly. I don't have any molars or the teeth right in front of them, so I chew with my front teeth only. I turn down any invitation that involves eating, and it's very depressing.

I have 1 more root canal to go- on a tooth that hurts every day. I've reached the allowed outstanding balance with my dentist, so he can't perform the work until I pay my bill. I can't take pain medication other than at bedtime because I have a full-time job, a part-time job and a son who needs me to be alert when I'm home. I have an existing loan for a car repair that was done so I don't have that avenue. I am literally begging for any help that you can offer. I always told my son that if I ran into a pile of money I would find people who really need help & donate some of it to them. I will keep my word that some day when I have extra money (it has to be in the near future, right?!) I will come back to this site and donate to others who are in difficult situations. Thanks for considering me!!

I am a hard working single mom and I barely make enough to survive. I am not eligible for state assistance because I made 200 dollars over the requirement on my taxes 2010...under $16,000, my daughter is severe bipolar and ADHD, I get all of her therapy and medications free thru a mental health service here. However, I don't get any assistance on childcare for a 16 yr old girl...I can't trust to leave her alone she has attempted suicide twice ( now I keep all her meds under lock and key), she has been in and out of treatment facilities and once she is stable they release her.....we go to family therapy and she has individual therapy ......I have lost so many jobs and people don't understand that is my kid I have to be there when she needs me....her dad has never been in the picture and owes over 10k in child support which we will never see..... I can not afford basic things we need like tampons, laundry soap, school clothes, she has so much potential and is such a beautiful girl but kids tease her because I can't afford to buy her clothes...we wear the same size so she wears my stuff which is old and outdated ....i'm 37 she's 16........yeah how can I blame her for hating her life....I would have been mortified to have to had worn my moms clothes....but she is humble and smiles and i hear her crying at night and I hear the girls laugh when I drop her off at school....it makes me hate everyone......I try to be strong but I am desperate to give my daughter a happy high school expereince its not her fault.....help if you want and thank you any proof of my situation can be provided.........

Currently asking for assistance for help. $1 or any amount will be greatly appreciated. I find myself 1 month behind on all bills. I am working a fulltime job and I am a single parent. Agencies in my area say I make too much. HA that’s a laugh. Monthly bills are about $1600 a month not including groceries, and I am only making about $1800 a month. I am currently looking for 2nd job. 2nd job must be in the area because my car isn't working. IF you have any donations or ideas for me please email me princes1272000@yahoo.com thank you
