Good Evening,

My name is Matt and I live in the west suburbs of Chicago. I am currently unemployed and finding it difficult to find even the most basic, menial job in this economy. While I have no felony convictions or anything that would bar employment, I am forced to rely on public transportation to get around at this time.

I am a recovering addict and I have been on methadone treatment for almost 5 years. I am on a low dose and I am having difficulty paying for my medication. I would like to be able to go to the clinic once a week instead of 5 times a week. This is hurting my ability to find work because I spend 3-4 hours on the bus going to the clinic.

I have a proven success rate in my sobriety and I just want to chip away at this awful bill hanging over my head. If I cannot pay for my medication I don't know what I will do. I can be reached at mmroch78@gmail.com. I can supply resumes as well to serious inquiries.

I have worked in call centers and related fields for the last 10 years, and I am warm, energetic customer service professional. I'd make an excellent ambassador for your company or small business, whichever it may be...

Both my father and I have been having very tough times, I am bi-polar but haven't had issues of any kind in quite a while. I just don't know what to do, my own parents are having money problems, and I don't have anywhere else to turn. I ask in the sincerest manner possible for any help you can provide: Pace bus cards (the monthly ones for 60$ are lifesavers), maybe 200-300$ towards my medication. I do have some things of value, mainly electronics that I can sell. Please contact me ASAP.

Thank you in this embarrassing time of need.

Kindest Regards,

Matt (5/6/12)

Hi. My Name is Robert. I am a 28 year old male who has recently moved to a new state in search of a better life. I have not had the best of luck with jobs. The job lined up for me fell through, and I began working temp jobs to make ends meet. I was staying with family and was out of work from Thanksgiving to New Years. I found a new job in mid January and then was asked to move out of my families house on February 1st. I am doing all that I can (working 70 hours a week) but unfortunately it isn't enough. I am late on rent and need $825 to cover March and April. I am also past due on car payments and approaching 60 days late. I am needing $550 for that. I have tried applying for loans and continue to be denied. I am also stuck in the payday loan cycle and am paying interest every two weeks to refinance. With just $3,000.00 total I will be able to get caught up and take the training courses I need for my job to increase my salary and be able to continue to pay bills in a timely manner.

I know there are others here who need help more than I, I just am at my wits end with phone calls and letters demanding payment. I have considered sleeping in my car just to make the payment. I do not have anyone in my family who can help and I am not an irresponsible kid living beyond my means. I am currently sleeping in an empty bedroom on an air mattress and going hungry 2-3 days a week just to pay what I can.

I humbly ask anyone out there who can help me please do. Once on my feet, I have every intention to give back to others. Anything helps. God Bless.

My ex wife was awarded one of the vehicles during our divorce. The courts say that she needed to have the car refinanced into her name and have me taken off of it within 90 days. Well she did not have a job and still does not have a job. She stopped paying on it and the bank repo'ed it. I have been in close contact with the bank about this manner. I have absolutely no legal say over this vehicle or account due to the courts granting the ex the car. But since she did not get my name off of the vehicle it goes against m credit. Which she has destroyed. She refuses to pay on this vehicle and thinks its a joke. We have 2 children together in whom I have full custody over. The bank sold the car and the balance on the car is $3500. I am on a strict budget now since the divorce, with lawyer fees, new childcare fees etc.. I am in desperate need of assistance with this vehicle. I would go back to court over this but I still owe my lawyer $1000 and she won't even talk to me until she is paid off. I had to pay my ex wife's lawyer fees as well. Those have been paid in full. I am not someone to beg or ask for money. I work full time and like to do things myself. I am just at a bad point financially right now and need any help I can get.

Truck gonna get repod soon. Phone getting shut off next week, hoping around from mom to dads to step brothers to friends house to have a place to sleep and eat. Aquired a camper. Not enough money to hook it up to truck or move it to a place I can stay. I get along well with people but you know how charity gets stretched I dint want to do that Objective

Hello, and thank you for reading! I feel really awkward begging, but I am in(what I feel is) a dire need of help. My name is Robin. I am a 21 y/o woman from Alabama. My reasoning for asking for money, is to buy a car so that I can go to work and school. At the moment I am not in school, nor do I have a job. I have applied everywhere close. I had an interview but no way to go. Same thing applies to going to school. I have no way. I still live with my parents. I really feel like just giving up. I have no friends, and my family is limited on funds. Therefore,this is my only way to suceed in life. I will say that after I finish college and get a decent job, the car will be given away to another person who I feel is in need. I don't want the chain of kindness to end with me...I want it to go on. Also if you read another story on here and you feel they are in greater need and you can't help us both, help them. Thank you..even if you don't donate to me, you are still an angel for helping anyone in any manner.. God Bless!

Hi there

My name's John everyone who reads :)

I worked for a large internet bank for 8 years, it was a great job, I loved my job, but unfortunately I was made redundant, my role was telephone buisness development manager.
Since then I manage to get a job in I.T, but unfortunately my contract only temporary, it gave me my first taste of working in I.T.
Since then I have worked for a parcel delivery company and a supermarket stacking shelves, yep that's what it has came down to, the last job was temporary with the promise of being made permenant but it didn't happen.
I have a mortgage and 4 kids, spiralling debts and have almost been evicted from my home 3 times!
I dont want to be unemployed, its demeaning and degrading, I have valuable skills and I am a hard worker!
I just want to provide for my family and have a nice debt free life, isnt that what everyone wants?

I have a good telephone manner, I can use a p.c and I am consciensous and I consider myself to be a people person, I have also lately taken a security guard course at my local college.

I would ideally like to be earning around the £20.000 per annum salary, the bills wont pay themselves.

I dont drink/smoke or get out these days, just want to get by without a struggle.

If you can help, then that'd be totally amazing and I'd be ever so greatful!

John :)

I've been out of work since October of last year, and I have run out of places to turn in order to pay my bills. While I actively send out multiple resumes per day to prospective employers, I ave only had a handful of interviews and no offers as of yet. I am at risk of having my (overdrawn) bank account closed, my electricity shut off, and eviction from my apartment if I am unable to get the money I need in a very short period of time.

Please send whatever can be spared in order to help me get back on track, it would be very much appreciated, and I will send a personalized thank you message to anyone who is willing to assist in this manner.

In July 2007 my husband was a passenger in a co-workers car; the co-worker turned left in front of a pickup and the car was T-boned directly on his side. The co-workers car was an older model with no airbags; the doctor said that if he hadn’t put his arm & hand up to shield his face than it would have been fatal. The subsequent and enduring “care” he has received via workers compensation (WC), for the grave injuries he sustained, has been appalling at best. This is just my personal opinion, based solely on our experiences since the accident, but I have concluded that workers compensation (that was put in place to protect the workers), is nothing less than an unethical, disingenuous corrupt system. They end up sending you to a doctor of there choosing and these doctors (who have "gone over to the dark side")cater to the insurance companies by writing lengthy reports downplaying any injuries (goal of saving insurance company money with zero regard for the patients well being) in exchange for more patients sent to them and guaranteed, probably higher than usual, reimbursements. All too often it seems like WC caters to those who abuse the system and discriminate against those who really are in need. The “timely” medical care my husband has actually been able to procure through this government supported system is a travesty leaving him with irreparable spinal damage and a life of pain to look forward to. The malevolent truth is, had this system acted in a timely fashion, equivalent to the expedient care that ANYONE else not on WC would receive, then something could have been done to improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, as it stands, due to the guileful delay tactics used by WC, it is too late to do much of anything to repair the injuries causing him pain. Clearly supported medically necessary needs have either gone unapproved or purposely neglected for months all the while he continues to suffer with intractable pain. It is just beyond my comprehension as to how these people can feel no remorse for leaving another human being in such agony. Due to WC neglecting to approve certain items we have had to outlay a significant amount of our funds for medically necessary items\services to help him do tasks that he could previously do unassisted.
Today he suffers unrelenting pain as a result of permanent whiplash, 8 herniated discs, and unacknowledged(despite films clearly showing injuries) unaddressed broken tailbone, ribs and pelvis. Nerve damage from the spinal injury has resulted in numbness in his extremities, frequent weakening of his legs and embarrassing incontinence among numerous other concerns - had these been addressed in a timely manner (much like they would have been if not WC injury) his suffering could have been decreased significantly thereby improving his quality of life. The most serious injury he suffered was the hip break (acetabuler break) the worse break possible - it was broken in four places. As alluded to previously, an injury this severe should have been stabilized by surgery - allowing it to heal properly and not leave him suffering in chronic pain. WC puts such demands on providers to cut corners in order to save money that, in my husbands case, his doctor decided to do absolutely nothing but send him home instructing him to stay in a wheelchair 100 % of the time for several months. This doctor did not follow up with an exam or x-rays to make sure everything had healed properly. When my husband tried to explain to him the degree of pain he was still in the Dr said hmmm that shouldn’t be and then said “I can’t do anything else for you…”. This Dr. was so engrossed with saving WC some money that he disregarded his patients plea for help- how dispassionate and cold. The way this physician treated my husband goes against almost every part of the hippocratic oath which he swore to uphold upon graduation.
After being in pain for years, with no help from WC when it came to pinpointing its primary source, we paid out of pocket for a film that revealed his pelvis had been broken in the accident. This was never discovered previously by the orthopedist, again, due to cutting corners to save WC money they didn't take the necessary films to do a thorough job. We have a hearing with WC before a judge in March to request approval of a doctor who can address his broken tailbone - regardless of the fact that he can hardly sit without being in excruciating pain WC has denied him access to a doctor to treat it.
Immediately after the accident WC paid for home care for my husband and I was his caretaker when they were not here. Once they stopped providing this in home care I had to take over caring for him in addition to taking care of our then one year old daughter. I soon realized that I could not work and take care of both of them so I had to leave my job to stay home. As a result of my loss of income we have used up every penny of savings and 401 K, that we worked so hard to earn. We had to purchase anything medically necessary for Randall that WC was denying or losing track of. In addition to all this bad news, he has had to go out on disability (10/10) due to the deterioration of his condition and as a result our income has been cut substantially. This leaves us struggling to survive with no savings and significant decrease in income. I am the primary caregiver of both my husband and 5 year old daughter and all I able to contribute financially is what I can find the time to sell on eBay and needless to say we are coming up short.
All of our credit cards have been turned over to collections and our house note is in default and I am terrified. My heart breaks for my only child my daughter who is just 5 years old - I want her to remember more than this devastating situation about her dad and what undeserved hard times we are facing. You can ask anyone who knows my husband and they will all say the same that he is one of the kindest, caring, and conscientious people they know. I know that he doesn’t deserve the heartache he is having to endure. He has worked hard his entire life, since the age of 15, up until he could no longer because of his injuries; and I know that prior to this accident he had saved and saved and was looking so forward to retiring and having fun times as a family. He hasn’t lost sight of those dreams but the money he had saved to fund them is all gone. Despite everything somehow he still maintains a positive outlook on life which makes him a much stronger person than I.
We all have faith that God will see us through this one way or the other but some days it is just so hard to maintain a positive outlook. We would be truly grateful for any help - do only as your heart leads you to do!
God Bless

Please help! I am going to India with a group of people to work with some in kids in a very poor area of the country. Most of my cost is already covered, but I am short $1000. I need to have the final payment by January 16th in order to finalize my airfare or I lose the $2000 I have already paid. I would have had the full funds myself, but my husbands car broke down and that expense and several other major unexpected financial situations)left us with only a very small amount to live on for the remainder of the month, which we can do, but losing $2000 is much more difficult than asking for help. Unlike many people, we did not celebrate Christmas with extravangent gifts...we spent almost nothing on Christmas, so please don't think because of the holidays we have over extended ourselves and that is the reason I'm asking for help. I'm asking because there are hurting, starving children in India that need the help my group is planning to provide. This is not a trip to have a glamorous vacation, this is to strictly help bring some love & hope to these children...I won't post most of the details here, because of the nature of our work and need for security, but interested parties can either donate trusting the money will be used for a good moral purpose or you can email me and I will answer your questions the best way I can in a more private manner. Thanks you in advance for blessing the children!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my story. I was released from the company I was employed with for 2 years. I have been looking and going to various career fairs in hopes of securing employment but with the current Job Market I haven’t had much success. In pursuing a degree I have been plagued with financial difficulties in paying for school. I have a significant amount of student loans from my time as an Undergraduate and Graduate Student. Know I find myself in a financial strain now that I am out of work in a tough economy. I have been doing odd jobs and Temp work to pay bills and eat but still need help especially with the student loan debt that runs over a hundred thousand dollars. I am unable to receive unemployment anymore and don’t know for how long I will have with my temporary job. I don’t know what else to do but ask for help. I have always held a job and worked hard in life so this is very difficult for me to ask for help in this manner as I never thought I would find myself in this situation. Please know that any contribution you make will be a blessing even if it is only a $1.00. Thank you for whatever assistance that you can provide.

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.

Since I was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago, I just haven't been able to keep all the balls in the air. One of the things that, unfortunately, fell by the wayside was that I didn't file my state and federal tax returns in a timely manner.

The government has garnished my income to the extent that I cannot even pay my bills, much less pay the legal feels to get the help I need. I was able to get started with a legal team and have learned that I don't owe any actual taxes, now that all the returns have been filed. However, the legal team is working to get $35,000 in penalties settled.

In order to pay the balance of the legal services, I need $700 a month for the next six months. If I cannot keep up the payments, they will not be able to continue to help me, and I will not be able to get the garnishments stopped.

Because of my health, it just isn't possible for me to take on any extra employment at this time. In fact, it would be better for me health-wise to work less, but I just can't do that right now.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

The idea has been brewing for decades. I am not alone. My generation does not have the retirement expected and enjoyed by our parents, despite having been educated and hardworking since our teens. Tried to save, careful with earnings, and at 50, little to show for it. The rat race has run it's course. The urban mayhem is tiresome, and we deserve to retire, relax, and enjoy life before we are too old to do so.
As it stands, I like many others are looking at working our whole lives, and I mean our WHOLE lives. It is wrong.
At my current age, both my parents took early retirement , and have been enjoying theor lives comfortably already for decades. This dream is completely out of reach for myself, and most amongst my generation.
Working our whole lives, full time is wrong on many levels. One being that we are only making others rich, as we toil, grow ill, and spend our days in traffic and cubicles, struggling, for what? As long as we are chasing the paycheck, there is no freedom, and no hope for living before we croak.
A commune does not have to be dozens of dirty hippies. I see small communities. Even half a dozen people, or couples in one large home. This home can consist of a shared building with kitchen and living space, and other out buildings containing bedrooms,bathrooms private entrances and porch space. So you have a place with community and privacy as you choose.
Once I had a roomate situation that was much like this. A large house, S shaped. bedrooms were at opposite ends, and I went weeks sometimes without even running into roommates. In the center was the main kitchen and a living room space where we occasionally got together in. Roommates each had their own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, and living room space. There was a common courtyard area, as well as a private outdoor area for every bedroom. We comfortably had 8 people,, sharing rent and utilities. This made the cost of living extremely low , and we each survived happily only working part time.
There was a community garden, those who participated in its upkeep could just help themselves to its bounty, but there was plenty to share and even those without the time to work in it would benefit.
Everyone was responsible for their own food needs, transportation, and their portion of rent and utilities. It was no problem, and we lived this way for a full decade, and could have indefinitely if the house was not sold. I did try unsuccessfully to buy it.

So, I am asking for assistance making such a thing possible again, but this time by owning, not renting, so as not to lose it!

The place does not have to be glamourous, just roomy, on the outskirts of town, and hoping this time for a pool. And I wish to share it with others in the same manner so to afford others like myself to retire, or at least semi-retire, comfortably. The beauty in this is also that you are not alone, not isolated, and yet not crammed in where you have no privacy. There is someone there if the car breaks down, or if your heart gives out!

I think this is a great model for my generation who has worked hard and deserves the retirement that has been stolen from them. We do not want to burden our children.

I see this model serving first in this respect for those of us contemplating the impossibility of retirement, but also I believe it can serve as a model for a new way to live for all. Share. Pool resources. Grow food. We can enjoy all the modern conveniences, and get off the grid too, gradually.

When like minded people come together and cooperate with the same goals in mind, it can happen.

Need the home, need the land. The rest is easy.

Please consider the simplicity, and common sense in my plea, and help me make this possible for myself, and others. It will serve as an example to our children and future generations. Please.

And thank you for reading this far, I know this was long!

Every cent I receive from this post and others I will put toward this plan which I hope to get off the ground ASAP.

- Jane

I am a proud man who has worked my whole life to make a life for me and my family. I very recently lost my job due to downsizing. I have been a printer since the age of 20, I am 52 now. My wife has Multiple Sclerosis and Diabetes and hasn't worked in almost a year. I love her very much and will not leave her. I have been raising my three step daughters and one step granddaughter with just my income and unfortunantly unemployment with not take care of the bills. I need a good paying job or some type of helping hand. I was barely able to give my family a decent Christmas but it has drained almost all my finances. I am in a debt management program for our credit cards but with the mortgage and utility bills coming up it is scary what may happen.Right now I'm $3,000 behind on everything. I donate plasma twice a week for a little extra money. Like I said before, I am a proud man and only desperation drives me to look for solutions in this manner. My email is r.douglasewing@gmail.com if there is anyone generous enough to help or I can answer questions. I just don't know what else to do. I am looking for jobs now but not much luck. I live just east of Kansas City, Mo. Thanks for taking the time to read this.....Doug

This is difficult for me to write yet I must put ego aside and take a chance. I am a single parent of three children in NYC. Three years ago I had to leave my job because I did not have a degree. After much planning I went back to school to get my Bachelors. I designed my studies to get financial aid to cover not only my tuition but also my rent and utilities. But I also knew that I would have part time work to cover any lag. Unfortunately, as soon as I did this the financial collapse occurred severely curtailing my earning potential. Tuition was covered but rent was not every month. I struggled and ultimately fell behind on rent. However, after entering into a payment plan with my Landlord I fell behind due to loss of income. I broke the agreement and am now forced to pay the entire arrears. My rental situation is so severe now that I am facing eviction by mid August. I owe $5500. I have gone to many of the city agencies to get my arrears taken care of and still hope to do so. However, I only have two weeks to secure this and I am not certain. I know that If I can raise at least half that amount I can get one of the organizations to match that amount. I have good kids and they don't need the trauma or deserve to be displaced in this manner. Particularly after all they have been through. My primary objective is to show them that I can follow through with school and keep a roof over their heads. The irony is that I will be finished with school in a few months. I also have work now and for the foreseeable future. My only issue is that I cannot pay the massive arrears that is now totally due. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I will give any information requested.

After leaving catering college at the age of just 20, I embarked on my career, but it was taken away along with my life just a few months later, ( im now 55 ) during college my dad died of cancer, it had been my turn to watch over him that night, I was just 15 years old, and I awoke to find that he had died during the night, his hand had locked on to mine whelst I had been a sleep, and I had to have it removed by my big sister, I cannot forget this it broke my heart,my dad was just 47 when he died, it affected me for the rest of my life.

It also profundley changed my mothers demeaner, it changed her, and I was last to leave the family home, and it was so hard.

To make matters worse only a few years ago my mother passed on, and I was away dealing with my own medical problem at the time and missed her passing on, I wanted to say goodbye, it haunts me to this day, that my parents left this world in such a manner.

I am in my late 50s now, back in the early 70s, I was a passenger in a friends car, he pulled out into the path of another car, onto a fast piece of road, and our car was hit at over 90 miles an hour. My seat belt broke with the impact, and I was thrown through the cars windscreen. I, landed on the tarmac and next the car I had been in was bulldozed over my body.

It bulldozed the other car on to my neck and chest, trapping me under it. My arms were pinned to my chest by the cars sill, and my neck was bent up against a cold granite wall, my right leg was wrapped around the back axle. I was ready to die, but held on to life with every passing breath, god must have been watching over me that night.

It took the fire crew an hour to cut me out, then it was off to the hospital, on arrival all my clothes were cut from my body, on examination it was found that my right leg was near on severed from the knee, and was hanging on by a thread of my skin.

In addition I had 4 broken ribs, severe cuts and bruises everywhere and a small spilt in my skull, this skull spilt was not significant at the time, but would go on to ruin my entire life. My mouth was full of broken windscreen glass and I was vomiting blood because of it. Back in the 70s there was no MRI scanner so I was just given an X ray of my head.

Because my leg was the main problem the little split in my skull was just left then as being nothing, but it would play a big part in my life. After being cleaned up and admitted to the ward, I settled back to a 12 week stay, and Around the 3 week mark of being in hospital, the surgeon said there was now no chance of me being able to walk again on my right leg.

I broke down in tears, cried a river and could not understand why me. During my stay in hospital my boss came in and told me he could no longer keep my position open for me. This was devastating for me, I had worked so hard at college to be a chef, and had climbed my way up the ranks to be a chef in charge.

And was now at the age of just 20 cooking in a world famous Hotel, and it was my life, I had left school only 5 years beofre the accident, and had studied at college to be a chef, now because of this crash my career was finished in one hit, my employer had spoken to the drs, who had said working in a kitchen enviroment would be to dangerous for me, so my career was over right there right then.

I now lay in the bed stunned and deeply hurt that because of this accident, I had now lost everything at the age of just twenty!. Then one day I noticed some feeling in my right legs big toe, I screamed for the nurse, and she brought along a Dr.
Over the coming weeks I fully regained the use of my right leg. Of course I thought everything was going to be alright, but from the day I left hospital some 35 years ago now to this day, I have suffered so much.

You see the knock on the head I had during the car crash, damaged the cerebellum part of my brain, a part called the cerebellum tonsil. The severe knock to my head caused the tonsil, to drop out of the cerebellum part of my brain a few mm. And for the last 35 years this part of my brain as been dropping slowley a few mm each year towards my brain stem.

The affect it as is to disturb the cerebral spinal fluid that goes around my brain. The tonsil dangles into a space where it should not be, disrupting the flow of csf, which in turns gives me a wide range of medical disorders.

I suffer with ringing sounds in both my ears every day, 7 days a week, I have headaches daily, coupled with dizziness sickness, and pain in spine and neck, some days i cant feel my legs or walk on them, some days my arms dont work, my balance is hopeless, I cant sleep for severe pain, I cry all the time in private because of the situation I have been in these last 35 years.

To look at me I look like any normal kinda guy but life as been so tough these last 35 years.
The brain surgeons that I have seen have told me that to operate as a 75% chance of death for me, so they prefer me to live with the disabilities until such a time when I become in risk of death, and then they will operate on me seeing theres no other option, this means I live with countless medical conditions all of which I have had to live with for 35 years.

These medical conditions have made my life a living hell, for 35 years ive been dizzy off balance, severe headaces, and forced to go to bed every night knowing that I could die at any given time.
I lay in bed with symptoms of my brain damage rushing all over my body, trying to think positive for 35 years, im now 55, and wish so very very much that I could have given my wife and children a proper home to live in, one we owned, in a nice area, and not to have had to rely on handouts from the goverment merely to excist.

I cry, ive cried oceans of tears in despair in private, while Ive tried to work a way out of this hell for my family and me,but of course my disabilies dont allow me to get a break, so just had to live it for 35 years, ive never stopped trying, but ive made my illness well worse, and just cant do it anymore.

I was a young man of just 20 years old, and my whole life and anyone who would be with me, had changed in the blink of an eye. We got no compensation back when I was 20, and I was a passenger!!! I got shafted by the insurance company, with no dad, and mum still grieving his death, I got ripped off by the othersides insurers. If I was able to just change one thing in my past, it would be to not except that lift in my friends car.

The worst thing about all of what happened to me is, that for the first 12 years after my accident none of the medical people we went to see knew what could be making me so very very ill, so it was hard to get any help at all, after 12 years of seeing hundreds of doctors, one of them finally!!! decided to allow me to have a full brain and spine MRI, but this same doctor had been writing in my medical records that I was a waste of time and that nothing would be found wrong with my brain.

He, had written in my medical notes that there would be no scan because it would be a waste of time, He then reluctently gave me a brain scan, and reported it has normal to my family doctor.
My wife then ordered up copies of my medical records from that doctors hospital, and we found that he had lied about my brain scan, the brain scan records stated that I had a very rare brain damage that would be caused by a trauma such as a car crash.

We can only think like our family doctor does, that the dr who had written my brain scan results to be normal, was trying to cover him self after years of writing in my medical record rubbish about me, and now seeing that I had a rare brain damage had tried to cover it up"!!!!.
I was so angry after the last 12 years of hell, and to now see that this showed that my brain had been damaged severely all those years before, and that I had been made to live in terror all those years that had just passed.

My family said we should get a solicitor to champion our case, and we did, but the one we chose was a bad one, who during our legal case was struck off for mishandling another bigger case, it was in all the newspapers, and when that solicitor was barred from practising, our case was left in such a state that no other solicitor would touch it.
We took my case to 3 other solicitors, all of which said that the 1st soliictor had ruined of chance of winning, and we were left to suffer.

All of these things have mede me so very very tired, plus heavy debt, all my medical symptoms to cope with, and tring to live on pennies, the goverment gives very small amounts to live on, it just about covers food rent and some of the other costs of life. My life, and others with me as been so hard since 20 years old, thes last 35 years feel like 200 years to my body and soul.

So many horrable things have happend to me, my whole life as been blighted from such a young age, ive tried, ive tried so hard, im tired now so very very tired,
As I write this, I find it hard to think, motavation is so hard, each day is full with pain, grief, despair, money truly is the only way we can feel a little better, but we cant get any, so its bills bills bills, we live, but we dont do any more than that.

Now its just me and my wife, who means everything to me, I want holidays and nice things in our home, but we live on pennies and are feeling the affects of what happened to myself 35 years ago. I want my wife to enjoy life the way we were ment too.

My wife helped me through every year and we have 3 wonderful children, these days its been tough trying to make a living owing to my disablement, in the early days of my children growing up, I tried with every part of my determination to make a good home for them, but we could only ever live in social housing, and it was so so hard growing up in some of the areas we had to live in.
As my health as gotten worse we took on debt to keep above water so to speak, benefits were no where enough to live on. my wife and I now owe £50,000 in loans and credit cards, all of which over the last 35 years as built up just to roof and feed our family, and pay ever increasingley high water electric and gas bills.

I have had my dignity taken at the age of just 20, 35 years ago, and have lived a hellish life of pain, and tearful memories of what I use to be. none of what happened to me was my doing, just a passenger in a car.
Any help that anyone out their can afford will help us to live a little bit better. Thanks in anticapation of anything you can afford to give, it will be used to make a better life for me and my wife thanks and good bless.

Three years ago, I managed to get back in school to work towards a BS in software engineering after being on dialysis for 15 years. I'm also finally on the transplant list and should have that occurring within the next two to three years. Waiting to get on the list was necessary because I needed the immunosuppressant drug regiment to advance by two generations before I could be sure that the side effects would not outweigh the benefits. Prednisone alone left me weighing 120 lbs (I should weight at least 170 lbs) during my first go-around with loss of kidney function.

I've had some medical speed-bumps while enrolled that arose from the complications of having both kidneys removed (they found a tumor) that cost me dearly in terms of being able to finish my classes successfully. The result has been the loss of $10491.30 of my financial aid (6 classes worth of tuition at $1748.55 a class). I've already paid $3497.10 out of pocket without going into debt beyond my school loan, but need $6994.20 to finish.

I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, watch TV, or anything else that doesn't contribute to who I am as a person in a positive manner. I mostly read books for entertainment.

Posting here is humiliating and hurts like hell, but I don't see any alternatives. I need to get moving forward so I can nail this degree down before transplant. All I want is to be a productive citizen with as close to a normal life as possible--getting my degree is a big piece of that.

Thank you for at least taking the time to read this.

Thank you for your time. Hello, I am 22 years old right now i am unemployed. I am Married to a beautiful young lady whom I love with all of my heart, that is 9months pregnant. but right now I feel like an incompetent husband, and i dont want to be a dead beat dad.
I started working for a local company where i would have been working 40hrs a week plus voluntary weekend overtime. after about a week working there My foreman asked me to work thie upcoming saturday. I had to decline due to the fact I was schedualed to minister at a neighboring county's Juvenile center. When I told him that i already had previous plans and let him know it was an every other weekend arrangment he replied to me " You can either Keep your Job or go off and Preach" Still I felt my ministry was more important. Then I went back to apologize to him to let him know i would be available the next weekend he told me that I shouldnt make plans like this because to work in this company you had to work weekends. When I told him the HR hired me with the understanding weekends were voluntary he said she should not have told me that and it wasnt true and the schedual was about to be changed to 7 days a week mandatory! The following day i met with the HR and she in a kind way told me that the information she gave me was partially correct. I in return told her (in a christian manner) that i had to respectfully give a resignation because there is no way i could work every weekend I was already only seeing my wife 1hr a day if that. I figured i could have another job in about 3 weeks and we could live off of the little bit of money for the month! now 2 months later i live with my parents in a 3 bedroom trailer. This is not the situation i want to bring my baby boy into! Right now my wife and I are taking a financial course yet have no money to manage! I am in debt up to my eyeballs and m y parents are just as stripped. I am humbly asking for someone to please help me! I promise i will pay my tithes and offering 1st. You could be an answer to my prayer. Thank you and GOD BLESS!

I AM A MARRIED MOTHER OF THREE WHO IS FIGHTING CANCER FOR THE SECOND TIME. MY ORIGINAL DIAGNOSIS WAS UTERINE LEIOMYOSARCOMA. I RECENTLY HAD MY LEFT LUNG REMOVED DUE TO METASTASIS.

I CARRY THE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR OUR FAMILY, BUT, AM NOT ABLE TO WORK DUE TO TREATMENT. COBRA PAYMENTS FOR MY FAMILY WILL BE $1700.00 PER MONTH. WE DESPERATLY NEED HELP WITH MORTGAGE AND HEALTH INSURANCE PAYMENTS.

PLEASE KNOW ASKING FOR FUNDS IN THIS MANNER IS HUMILIATING FOR ME, BUT, WE ARE IN DIRE NEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

I live in Miamisburg Ohio with my wife and four young children. The youngest of which was just born on August 26th, 2010. As I write this message, I can't help but feel a wave of guilt and a sense of failure wash over me, because of the intent that this message is being sent. It is, boiled down to it's essence, simply electronic panhandling.....nothing more nothing less.

My wife and I are both college educated and employed, but find ourselves still living paycheck to paycheck. We are not poor and are not in desperate need, there are many hundreds of thousands of others that need more than us, but I can feel the weight of financial burden crushing down upon my shoulders. I do not wish to be rich, famous, or otherwise well off. But I do want to provide for my family, and to have the luxury of enjoying the day to day moments without the fear of financial uncertainty always looming overhead.

I would like to offer a glimpse into our family lives and finally get to the heart of this email....the begging. My wife holds a Master's degree and is employed as a Teacher in the Miamisburg City School district. She teaches a class of moderately to severe multiple-handicapped children. I honestly do not have a clue how she manages to do what she does. She is consistently given the most severely mentally and physically handicapped children because she has a way of reaching these children and getting more out of them than anyone thought possible. I can't count the number of times I've seen her crying as she reads an email from a parent of one of her students as the parent thanks her because they have been able to witness their child smiling and playing in the same manner as his or her typical peers would do. She truly is my hero for the gracious way that she treats these children with kindness and respect even as she comes home every day after being thrown up on, bitten, spit at, urinated on, or any other number of things that happen on a daily basis because of the severe nature of these kids' disabilities.

As for myself, my profession is not nearly as noble as my wife's, I do hold a Bachelor's degree in Material Science and Engineering. I work for a company that does research into air breathing supersonic combustion.

We have four young children, an 8 year old daughter, 5 year old son, 2 year old daughter, and a new baby boy who is only a week old.

This is the part of the message that pains me to write, and I'm not even sure how to go about it. I'm far from an eloquent wordsmith as it is, so to figure out an articulate way to beg for help, is a tough task. So, I'll just be direct and to the point. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, but the magic number that I am asking for is $60,000. That is approximately the amount that my wife and I owe in student loans for the educations that we have received. This would relieve a large amount of debt that we have accrued while trying to better ourselves and provide for our families. We don't have any other credit card debt due to extravagant overspending, as we have always tried to live within our means.

We are middle America, and we ask for your help!

Thank you for your time, and I hope that this message finds you and your family well

I am, like many of you, desiring to be out of debt. I have prayed about how to accomplish this goal. So here it is…

If you feel led to send a $1.00, $5.00, $10.00 (or possibly led to send more), please do so. This is not a charitable donation and cannot be written off at the end of the year. It is a gift to a stranger, to obtain a goal.

I simply feel like to Lord wants me to be out of debt to accomplish the call that he has placed on my life.

Thank you for your time. If you do not wish or cannot give gift money at this time, I ask that you give the gift of prayer. I’m at a crossroads in my life and I am not sure where the Lord is leading. I covet your prayers more than the money, however if you feel led to be a blessing…I would like to say thank you in advance. I pray that the seeds you sew in my life be returned 100 fold. God Bless you for your consideration in this manner.

-There was a dog named Rope
-Whose first owner gave up hope
-This pup's got a winner's lope
-And so much heart it's no joke!

My name is Pat and My email is: ebonyauthor2@aol.com.

I found a doberman-mix pup abandoned in our local Kmart parking lot. He was a bag of bones with a filthy rope around his neck that he'd been tied with. He was frantic and frightened as cars came in inches of hitting him...no one cared.

I scooped him up and took him home in my car with the idea of taking him into the SPCA near my house. I was told to take him to the other location 10 miles away so I decided to keep him over night and feed him...my mistake. I named him 'Rope'.

Our local SPCA is overwhelmed with aniamls and I realized more than likely he would be euthanized...I couldn't bear that thought. I kept him even though I already had a dog.

Rope LOVES children and people in general so I tried to find a family for him with no such luck. He developed demodic mange which was very agressive due to his malnutritioned state.

I have been unemployed since 2008 and existing on unemployment insurance but pinched pennies to take him to the Vet. I've since learned this may be a life-long condition and hope there's a caring Vet or dog lover out there who might help me with the expenses to get him healthy.

I feel Rope is a great dog; he LOPES like a horse, tucking his back legs under him in the most unusual manner. It's really something to see! Everone who sees this laughs their heads off and gets much joy from it.

He has an adoreable little face and the sadness in his eyes disappears when he sees children or when he lopes around the cul de sac in lightning fast circles.

Won't someone please help as he's currently in his third atttack of the parasites and his fur is falling off and he has many sores.

This information can be confirmed at Care Veterinary Clinic @ 559 625 8549.

Please help this dog, he has so much potential. He would be a perfect candidate for a dog food commercial.
