Mad Tags

I haven't been working for a while; my wife is working all the time, but she's sick, and even if she struggles trying to make payments we're behind; because of all this she's mad at me and our marriage may end up soon, leaving me and my dogs without a house. Thank you for your help.

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'm a single mother of 6 and it just seems like things are going from bad to worse. I am probably within days of being without power. I've been looking for work for the past year since graduating from school to become a medical assistant, but there seems to be nothing. The apartment that I'm renting has a shady landlord who is basically putting me through the ringer. I am not supposed to supply my own heat, but we hardly recieved any heat this winter and my landlord gave me 2 space heaters. i later found out that space heaters triple your electric bill, and mine has gone from $180 a month to $420 a month. I cannot afford to pay such a high bill,because I'm on public assistance, which mad it escalate to an unforgiving $5400!! I dont know what else to do or where else to turn. Social services said they wont help because its too high and I just dont know what else to do...!! PLEASE HELP US!!! I really dont know what else to say except PLEASE! Me and my kids will be eternally grateful. :'-( God Bless you and thank you for whatever help you can provide.

Greetings,

My name is Stephanie. Following the death of both my parents in a car accident 5 years ago August my health has been in a steady decline. I suffer from neurological issues that will soon have me in a wheelchair, and advanced COPD that means I have to have Oxygen continuously. Yesterday I had to go the doctors in 85 degree heat without any air conditioning in my van. By the time I got to the medical center and tried to find this new doctors location I ended up collapsing twice between the walking and breathing. I weigh 83 pounds at 5'5" and I can't carry the oxygen with me when I have to exit the vehicle. Ultimately I ended up in the emergency room.

I live with my daughter and grandson of 6 years. My grandson was in the car when my parents were killed and suffered a major brain injury at 13 months. I'm happy to report though that after months of hospitalization he is right as rain and is mad at me currently ;o) because I'm on my computer which he adores playing with. My daughter suffers from PTSD since the accident my parents were killed in. She cannot drive without someone in the car and she was going to go with me yesterday but the heat was so bad that we were concerned about Gavin in the back in my black 1994 Ford Astro van. It was just way too hot for him and with her PTSD we HAVE to go through town to get anywhere or she will lose it so there would not have been any steady air flow.

It's been a long 5 years. My parents and I jointly owned a duplex. Their deaths were the beginning of the most miserable time of my life. When I divorced it was jointly decided that it would better if I lived in the upstairs apartment so they could be there for the kids while I worked. Over 16 years we became so close that their deaths nearly destroyed me. I paid for the last 15 years on the note of the house, my buy in and we all lived there incredibly content and happy. My parents were my best friends.

After their deaths during the mortgage meltdown, credit locks, and the economic fallout my career of 16 years was one of the first to go. I worked in the non-profit sector designing programming for inner-city communities with a specific focus on youth. So 8 months after their deaths the funding streams I used for the programming dried up and a job I loved disappeared.

Life insurance was enough to cover their debt with a little left over because they didn't carry much but in the end I lost my home of 16 years to the insurance company that covered my daughters son through work when they filed a $ 90,000.00 lien against my home. So 7 months after losing my job I also lost a home I loved. So I experienced 3 deaths within the span of a little over a year.

Because I was unemployed so long and had to use my cards to keep the lights on so to speak my credit is not good. So I can't borrow the funds or even charge a repair for the car.

I can no longer go to doctors visits alone. I'm too weak to walk very far without help and I can't carry the oxygen canister on my own. So I need my daughter for these visits.

Like anyone with severe health issues I'm buried in bills but what I really need help on is funds that will me to fix the air conditioning in my van which despite it's age runs like a champ. I have a physicians assistant who comes into my home to work with my but getting to the specialists has become real concern.

My daughter even with her PTSD has reached a point where she doesn't want me going alone. I was supposed to call her when I reached the doctors the other day when I collapsed the 2nd time and they took me to the specialists office I asked the receptionist to call my daughter. She didn't and she left my daughter terrified that something horrible had happened to me. I don't carry a cell I can't afford one. My daughter was getting better about both driving and me driving myself; because of this receptionist my daughter has now had a huge set back. I have to see that doctor again next week and I can't take them without air conditioning so what I'm going to have to do is make sure I find someone that sit with my daughter while I'm gone to help keep her anxiety level low. I don't have any choice I have to get there. I won't have anyone to carry my oxygen but I'm hoping I can in there.

Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. I am more than happy to pay it forward as soon as I can. I have been a lifelong contributor to various causes and I know people are in dire straights right now. We all need help in one form or another. I would never ask if I could do this myself. Please forgive me.

and thanks for reading this,that in itself is appreciated, I am not really sure how this works but a friend told me about this after reading about it in a magazine article.
Well let me start at the begining, for the last 20 years I have worked for the same company and never had a days sickness, yes not one single day, in October 2011 I went to work one day and just quit felling I had just had enough, I did not tell them I was feeling depressed & suicidal and sick, I just said I no longer want to work here and I left that day.
As I was depressed and on the verge of killing myself, something I had actually felt for many years, I spent the next three days at home not washing,cleaning or speaking to anyone, I looked on the internet and searched "The best way to commit suicide" I was that low, I had no money and in fact had huge debts, to my friends and family I was always the strong one always the one person they could rely on,but reality was I was a broken man my spirit my soul was empty I wanted to die.
After those three days of no sleep and thoughts of how I would die I took a shower, whilst in the shower I just completely broke down I just lay on the floor in uncontrolable crying I just lay there for about an hour, and suddenly it came to me that I needed to speak to some one and quick.
Enter my Sister, since childhood my Sister has been like a mother to me(My own mother left when I was 3) she is truly a beautiful person a wonderful role model and just the most fantastic spirited person I know. Why I had not just told her how I felt at the start I just dont know, because we talk about everything, maybe its the depression and anxiety of it all, I dont know.
I called her in tears and told her I need her to come over, she was here within half an hour, we spent the day crying she more than me, I was kinda cried out, she had never seen me cry since I was probably ten years old, that is probably a sadness in itself.
She did everything for me in those early days, took me to my Doctors a Doctors I had not been to in 10 years, it had been that long that when we booked the appointment I was informed my Doctor died 4 years ago. Anyway I was put under a mental health program and prescribed Anti-depressants and also some sleeping tablets(these killed me my spirit and thoughts were numbed). my sister has been my Angel my saviour, there is no doubt in my mind I would be dead now if it was not for my sister, thinks are still bad, very bad at times, but I see my sister every day she comes around cooks,talks does coffee and is constantly on the phone(sometimes this does my head in) but I understand that she is scared that I may harm myself,she has come to the doctors and psychiatrist with my giving me huge support and a hand to hold that I needed, I cant tell you in words how special she is to me, I am not actually suicidal at the moment although I still think if I got a terminal illness this would be ideal, mad I know but I am being honest, I have huge debts and on sick benefit but this is not enough to live on or enough to pay debts. I actually owe £50,000 and I know this will never be paid so I will lose my home and everything else that goes with bankruptcy, but I will always have my sister their supporting me, she has helped me financially for three months but I dont want this to continue its wrong.
Well now to my BEG, well I dont want money for my debts I understand they are way too much to ever believe I can pay them back, no the reason I want help is because later this year my sister is 50 yes the big Five O and for the last three years she has been kinda planning what she will do and where she will go, she has decided that she wants to rent a Villa in Spain and have all her friends & family come for one week, when we discussed this last year obviuosly I was always included in this week, but I do not want her paying for me its Her birthday after all, I will not be able to pay my own way and I will not be working in the next few months as I am soon to under go councilling, the truth is I dont really want to go as I am actually feeling stressed about it all, hoping it goes away, but at the same time I understand how much it means to her to have me there, I know she wont take no for an answer and will want to pay for me.
All I ask is that if anyone on here could donate so I can at least pay some part in some way to my own way.She is not going until August or September and I think it will cost around £300 as a guess maybe slightly more.
If just a little from a lot of people then I can make some head way, or if you just want to mail me if you have similar problems as I have learned that talking problems through does help.
I know its a long beg but I want you to know the background.
Thanks for reading and hopefully you can help in some small way.

I am desperately asking for any help I can get, I'm over $1000 behind on my house, my daughter hasn't had any school clothes in 2 yrs, her friends help her out, I have a job but my hours have been cut badly, my family can't help either, we don't talk much because they are twisted became they hate my wife, we have been divorced for 3yrs now and they are still mad because I didn't divorce her sooner, my ex and I are better friends now then when we was married, I cannot seem to get caught up with my bills, and now the state has forced my son on asst. so his half brother and sister can get help, I have him on my insurance from work but the want to add medical help on him which hr don't use and they charge me $50 a week and pretend they are being fair, I cannot afford that much and they know it, the judge says she is doing it to me just because she can, wow. I live in rural Indiana in Buck Creek box 137 , 47924. If anyone can send any help I will be very grateful and will include you in my prayers thank you very much. I cannot get a papal account because I cannot get a checking account, thanks to my mother and ex wives, I use a savings account only. That's only part of my problems, I still smile everyday and hide my pain from others in my area, no need in bringing someone else down. Again thank you.

Have never had to ask for anything. I have always worked hard for what I do have, but I find my family in a very bad space right now. My husband and I relocated with the promise of a good job. We sold some of our belongings and moved 1100 miles from home. We used the money to pay security and first months rent. We also used it for a uhaul to get here. After getting here and settling in, my husband finds out that the man he had met with and secured a job with was a phony. It was a scam. We now find ourselves looking for any type of job. We are'nt picky. We are hardworking. It's just that our due date for our rent came quicker than employment. We can make arrangements to pay back any money that someone is able to help us with. We are behind 1 month and come November it will be 2 months. Thats a total of $1400 we need. As of yesterday I was offered employment. But I will not start for another week and will not get a check for 3 weeks from now. My landlord is mad. My husband and I are stressed and fighting. I have asked for help locally but am told all the money is gone and others tell us we must be residents for at least six months. Please I am begging someone to help us and I will make every effort to pay it back in a timely manner. Thank you so very much.

Please help me I am in debt and my parents kicked me out of my house, right now I'm living with friends bc my parents were so mad I got in debt that they didn't let me back in te home. So now I'm 10,450 dollars in debt and I have nowhere to go. I'm just trying to pay this debt off so I can go back home. Please if theyre are any generous samaritans out there please help me!

Kids driving me mad can't afford to do anything help

Yesterday, I thought i had found a ride share to get home to continue my schooling and be near my family, my sister had just recently had surgery and i was concerned for her and i was in a mad rush in looking for a cheap economical way to get home.

The man i had thought would drive cross country from LA to Florida, flaked out on me taking my meager savings of 300 bucks, my cellphone and slamming my left hand in a door at a hotel i had bought.now im stranded in hollywood and without a place to turn.
First and Foremost Prayers are much needed in finding a solution, any help will be greatly appreciated

I've been living miserably for the longest. I basically grew up in shelters, hardly having clothes to wear, and food to eat. Also, my father died when I was only a child. I barely even spent time with him. My mom has always took care of my sister and I. I don't work and my sister doesn't work(extremely hard to find a job here), so she is taking care of both of us with one terrible job. Because of this, I haven't been to the doctor in over 10 years. I've been having stomach, heart, and breathing problems every now and then for about 7 years now. I don't even know what's wrong with me. I can't even ask about going to the doctor because she gets mad every time I do. We are in debt and I don't want to be in a shelter again or on the streets. Right now, my health is most important, though, so hopefully I will get money, so I can go to the doctor.

Scentsational Bliss is an event planning company with a twist. At our parties our clients get to make products like lip gloss, lotion, and body mist. We do Princess, Diva parties and Mad Scientist parties for boys just to name a few. We provide decor, games, food. The decor includes chair covers, table cloths, balloons, etc. The client picks fragrances and labels and decorates the bottles and containers. We have different packages to fit the needs of our clients. There is currently not a business like this in my area that allows the client to make products for their events.
After three months of business we have had eight successful parties. However, we are seriously in need of funding to keep up with the demand. We need additional supplies to keep going. The money we have made from the parties has gone back into the business for additional needed supplies. It is a unique idea with a lot of potential but, we don't have the capital to give it a fair start. Our goal is to have a retail location to have ready made products as well as being able to make products on demand. The location would also have a party room. That way we would not have to rent out a space when we do a party. It will also be an alternative for the client if they don't want a home party. We would also rent linens and other party supplies as another means of revenue. At this point we have not been able to receive funding from a traditional source. We are currently looking for an investor, or a blessed individual who can provide a small donation. We are trying to raise $5000.00 to get supplies and a small retail location. Additional information can be provided upon request. Any ammount would be appreaciated. Thank you.

I have posted other day and just asking again if there is anyone who can help with anything, even if its a few dollars that will help.. Our electric is still on and just waiting for them to come shut us off.. My fiance has went down to talk to them and hasn't made it back yet so maybe they are giving us a few more days , I do not know. We went and talked to our Landlord just a few hours ago he wasn't very nice and stated that if we lost the electric then he would be serving us with an eviction and I have worried about that now...I just want to get it paid and try to get the money together so he and I can go to his hometown of Ellenville, NY where he can find work and has work there he can get. We have no car so we will have to take bus or train , I do not care as long as we can get there and find a cheap place so we can survive again on our own, We have walked the streets to gather cans to turn in for food each day and I just want to wake up for once and not have to worry.. If anyone can give a dollar or a few give what they can I would be so so greatful.. I have applied for these loans that claim they can help with low interest then they say they need 200 bucks to be able to do the loan , they are such a scam and just had one send me an email and stated that they could help me when and if I decided to help myself and send them the required 200 dollars.. I just got so mad and cried for someone to say I am not doing everything in my power to help myself and my family.. Im so exhausted in trying and looking and searching and walking and begging I just want to lay down and give up.. sorry its just things are really starting to get to me.. again I do have a paypal account my son set up for me and if anyone can help I would be forever indebted to you and will pay you back when we get on our feet again If anyone has any questions please email me and I will tell you anything you need to know and to anyone who can help at all may God Bless You and have a wonderful day!! Much Love and Hugs to all.. God Bless

I want to help my mom pay off her lawyer. The reason my mom has a lawyer is because shes trying to keep custody of my 12 year old sister who does not want to live with her dad. My dad abandon my mom and sister for a whole year and a half, he didn't pay no bills no food during that time and now he wants custody of her. It really gets me mad that my dad wants to have custody of my sister after abandoning her for so long... I really want to help my mom but I have my own bills to pay and it's really hard for me to save up on my minimum wage job. My mom owes the lawyer 800 dollars and if she doesn't pay him soon hes not going to appeal for the next court hearing.
This is my best shot to help my mom and sister as soon as I can.
If anyone can donate please do, I will really appreciate it and thank you very much for taking your time to read this.

I'm not mad. I promise, I'm not. A little annoyed, maybe...

Due to a paperwork mishap, my not-so-reliable roommate won't have any money for rent this month. Not good, man. Not good at all. Winter in the Midwest is no time to get evicted. (Is there ever really a good time to get evicted?)

I'm not entirely without hope, though. I can at least cover my half of the rent and even some of hers, but I'm just under $400.00 shy of keeping a roof over our heads for the next month.

I'm doing everything I can to make up the difference before the 30th, but it's hard to pull that kind of money together on such short notice.

That's where you come in, mysterious benefactor. You have the home-saving money I need and I have the boundless gratitude you crave.

I have an amazing husband and his dream is to drive a Nascar car. With some research the cost for him to drive one would be $500.00. He works so hard for our family and I would really like to give him this surprise in return. We are practical people so he would be mad at me for doing this but he so deserves it. The next and only available date to drive is in June, so I am really pressed to get things moving. Thank you in advance for any participation in the best birthday ever to a wonderful man!!!

I fell in love at the age of 17. I gave up my whole life. My dream was to be a stay at home mom with a great working husband. It has actually been a nightmare that I cannot wake up from. He started becoming abusive when I was pregnant with our first child. It has progressively become worse. I can honestly say that I live in fear and I never know whats going to happen. When I became pregnant with our second son... I came home from work only to find him watching porn. He told me that I wasnt good enough. I started crying and it made him mad. He threw a laptop computer desk and hit me in the stomach. I only weigh 110 pounds and I am 5'5". He does not work or even trys to find a job. Everytime I have had a job, he would never let me save money. He would also become very jealous that I had specific times that I needed to be at work. Needless to say, he forced me to quit 3 jobs. I even tried to be an escort for a little while in hopes that I could save enough money to get away from him. He wanted me to do it, but it was so scary. I tried to contact sparcc, but they cannot help me since I've never made police reports. I dont make police reports, because I knew a girl in my situation who did and the state took her kids away and did not help her. I just need enough to start over somewhere else far away. I have researched some great places I would like to raise my kids. I'm not going to give up. I really hope there are kind people out there who are willing to help us. I know the recession has hurt everyone right now... thats why I hate asking. I would like to get on my feet and then help others like me. Please, if you can help us... I will make something out of it and become somebody important. You will forever be n my heart, Thankyou for your time.

I had no idea this kind of site even existed until tonight. Two months ago my Dad passed away unexpectedly leaving my Grandma completely lost. My son and I moved to be closer to her but I really should have thought further ahead. I expected to be on my feet in no time. That's not exactly how it turned out. It has been one thing after another. The first curve ball was finding out that my dad had cashed in his life insurance years earlier without telling us. That left my sister and I scrambling for any way possible to have a decent burial. Now it's been two months of little things piling on top of each other. I know that there are a lot of people out there that have it much worse than I do...but at this point I am willing to try about anything. All of my bills are behind and I am a week from eviction. I have a 5 year old son that was diagnosed with A.S.D. He is so mature for his age and is so understanding and compassionate. Sometimes I wish he would get mad like most children. It breaks my heart that my son understands that we have to cut corners and make sacrifices to survive...but so far we have managed to survive. I am more worried at this point in my life than I have ever been. My entire family is drained financially and emotionally. I am a single mother so I don't really have many friends to turn to. I have spent my days searching for work and my nights online looking for a miracle. This may or may not be the help I've been searching for but it doesn't hurt to try. When I was younger I was out with some friends and an older woman that smelled like whiskey walked up to us and said "never say never" and walked away. Back then I didn't really pay much attention to her words but now I understand completely. Growing up I never dreamed that I'd be where I am now and I'm sure the woman I met that night had always dreamed of more. I've heard a million times that life is what you make it but the truth is...everyone's life has a struggle in their eyes. To some it's not having the new Coach the day it comes out and to others it's trying to find a way to survive while keeping your morals in tact. People have a lot to say about sites like this and the people that post on them but the reality is that everyone on this site has a story. They are reaching out for help and many of us made a difficult decision to swallow our pride to provide for our families. So before you judge anyone that's asking for a hand, remember that you are one disaster away from their shoes. "Never say never!" Thank you for taking the time to read this and I am grateful for any help that you can offer.

HI, I HATE TO RESORT TO ASKING FOR MONEY. I HAVE BEEN WORKING SINCE I WAS 16 NEVER BEEN WITHOUT WORK UP UNTIL 4 MONTHS AGO WHEN I LOST MY JOB. BEEN LOOKING FAITHFULLY EVERYDAY SINCE THAT DAY, HAVE HAD NO LUCK. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL SORRY FOR ME AND WOULD LIKE TO REPAY ANYONE THAT WILL HELP ME WHEN I GET BACK ON MY FEET. I HAVE THREE LITTLE GIRLS AND IT HURTS ME TO KNOW THAT I CANT GIVE THEM WHAT I USE TO. I KNOW BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT I WILL FIND A JOB AND GET BACK ON MY FEET SOON. I HAVE GONE THREW THE MONEY THAT I SAVED ASIDE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY I HAVE TRIED THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP BUT AFTER ADDING UP WHAT I MAD THIS YEAR SO FAR AND LAST YEAR THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. MY CAR WAS TAKEN DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH THE PAYMENT, WE HAVE BEEN ON THE BUS WHICH FOR ME IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT THE TYPE OF WORK THAT I DUE I NEED TO HAVE A VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN SO HARD NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. LAST YEAR WAS A GREAT YEAR FOR US WE WERE ABLE TO HELP OUT THE LESS UNFORTUNATE AND IT FELT GREAT TO DO THAT. I TRY TO HELP OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHEN I CAN. I'M UPSET WITH MY SELF AND HATE THAT MY CHILDREN ARE PAYING THE PRICE, THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, MY EX-HUSBAND LEFT ME ALSO 6 MONTHS AGO AND THAT ENOUGH WAS SO HARD FOR MY GIRLS THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT. THANK YOU.
