Max Tags

This will be my last semester of college and I've reached the max of my student loans to pay for this last semester, but unfortunately it doesn't cover my books. I am asking for help to pay for my college books. My books are $300 dollars, and I desperately need them so I can pass this last semester and graduate. Please!!, if someone out there understand what I am going through, please help me!!

We seriously need some help, our electricity will be turned off May 2nd, our rent is due May first and the late fees are $25 per day after the first with no max. Our house is total electric so no heat, air, refrigeration, hot water, or ability to cook once the electric is off. Our credit isn't good enough for anything and the only option is payday loans. We keep having garage sales, however it only provides enough money to get staples (bread, milk, butter, a little gas to get back and forth to work). Like many others I have a job, but it keeps us just over broke. Not enough to deal with a crisis. In one week we learned my mother and father were trying to live off $35 a week. My mother eats a bowl of cereal in the morning and a $1 banquet meal for dinner. She takes care of my ailing father 24/7 who has Alzheimer's. So we decided to make a 10 hour ride one way to go see what we could do to help. We gave them what little extra money we had to fill a deep freezer and pay off a loan with crushing interest! While away we learned that my wife's stepmother is dying from cancer. She has stage 4 lung cancer and isn't expected to make it past the end of the year. We need extra funds for my wife to be able to make the 1800 mile trek to her hometown in NY so she can have the opportunity to say her last goodbyes. To top it all off we purchased a car last year through a company known as JD Byrider, a buy here pay here bad credit dealer with an extra perk, for all the extra money you spend on their vehicles they offer a warranty during the term of the loan. Our JDB car blew a head gasket, this should be covered under terms of the warranty. We had the car towed to the dealer for them to make the necessary repairs. The shop said there was nothing wrong with the car, it just needed an oil change, and it was running fine. I promise you a car that won't do over 60 mph floored on a straight stretch of highway ISN'T fine. So we were forced to trade it in, which cost us an extra $5000, making us negative in our bank. Along with all of this is the need to take care of our three children at home, and constantly having to buy diapers for our grand daughter because her parents can't find work and welfare doesn't give enough cash assistance to keep diapers all month long. We are selling everything we can afford to in order to get out of our current situation, but it won't be enough. Right now we need $725 to make rent and $206 for the electric bill. I can spread other bills out over the course of the month, but these two are critical. We have enough food and just enough money to cover gas for the next two weeks. I am willing to provide services for any donation made. I have very good editing skills, and have helped students go from a D paper to a B+/A- paper without changing the content, merely correcting spelling, punctuation and structure. Any help provided will be greatly appreciated.

Please help! I basically can`t afford to live. I work 50 hours a week survive and can`t even seem to do that. I have a 2 year son which is in daycare that cost $170 a week.( Trust me when I say that the city I live in $170/week is cheap.) I`ve tried applying for government assistance but according to them I make too much money to qualify for any benefits. I just don`t understand! Because I work and don`t have 10 kids I can`t get any help? I`m struggling to put food on the table and keep the lights and water on every month. Every time I turn around it seems like another bill is past due and my bank account is empty. I would just like to catch a break :-(. I was hoping that I would catch everything up and put a little money away with my income tax return but guess what! Someone already filed under my name and ss#. Now I have to deal with identity theft and the irs! I won`t be getting any refund from the government anytime soon, if ever. My rent is coming up due again and my anxiety level has reached its max. I just need to catch a break.

I graduated in 2009 with a degree in Digital entertainment and game design. This degree covers web design, animation, game design, 3d animation and modelling. I also have a degree in music performance with some skill in music composition. I want to be a 3d animator. my goal is to start by making small psa ads, cheap online games and iphone/android apps, and short films. I have the talent and the training to do this in a way that puts out completely original music and visuals. This is the second step in my ultimate goal of working for a game company designing games and ads.

Unfortunately, graduation did not come with the tools to start out. I need professional versions of these products so that I have no trouble with marketing and selling my work:

Adobe Creative suite design premium or master collection
Autodesk 3ds max/maya
Finale music notation

I also need a desktop computer capable of running the full versions of these programs. A Macintosh would be ideal, with a touch screen monitor so that I can use my monitor like a drawing board, and a MIDI capable keyboard so that I can do composition.

I need all the help I can get. I have student loans that need paying off, and I know that I can really make some money if only I had the right tools.

Our extended family has a 9 yr old member who has watched his mom and dad get a divorce this year.

He watched his home go into the forclosure process, his father ended up in a VA psych ward due to alcoholism,untreated mental health problems, which led to a suicide attempt.

He has a learning disability and adhd on top of all that. All these things happened in 2011.

So if anyone is feeling generous enough, we have a wishlist for him.

His name is Max and he loves army men and transformers and board games! He also likes to think he is a SPY:)

Here is the list

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2QJZ6SWBS9W4S If your willing to help I cannot thank you enough.

I am willing to provide verification you want if you like. My number is 763-250-4520

Thank you and God bless

Hello, let me start off by saying I cannot believe I am doing this. I feel like the biggest, most pathetic loser in the world. I just don't know what to do anymore, I really and truly don't.
Everywhere I turn someone needs help, and this just breaks my heart. We are one of the many who do. I'm not going to lie, or beef up anything as I know come judgement day I will be judged.
I am a married female with 1 child. My husband works like a dog. Work is so sparatic, we just can't keep our heads above water anymore.We are so behind in debt. We had to live off of our cards just to eat and pay bills. Now we have so much debt, we have sunk.
I cannot work and disabilty can't help as we haven't even done our taxes in 2 years as we cannot afford to even do that. We have gone months without income and are at our max. My husband truck was stolen this year as well and we didn't have theft insurance on it. It has been one hit after another this year, the hardest year of our lives. My husband doesn't know I am doing this, and if I told him, that would crush him. We are 25,000 in debt, and trust me when I say NONE of it was wreckless spending, we needed it for rent, bills, food, meds, gas and all the bills every month. I am a diabetic and have 4 different pills a month I need to take. I haven't taken 2 of them in months. My husband is physically sick over the stress. I guess this is my last and only hope.
All our lives we have helped people, either with money, food, hampers etc. We take in stray animals when needed. They say Karma comes around...but sadly I am starting to not believe this. We have no one to help us. People have seemed to forgot about us when we are in need. Breaks my heart. I don't understand, but maybe one day I will. God works in mysterious ways. Anyhoo, I'm babbling now. I am truly hoping someone out there reads this, who may be able to help us. I know chances are very very slim to none, but one never knows. Thank you so much for reading this.

I'm a 45 year old mother on Social Security Disability and in need of assistance. It's getting harder to pay the bills every month. My money is being stretched to the max and I only receive one disability check each month. I'm in need of money right now.If anyone has it in their heart to help me I would appreciate it greatly. I'm not asking for a specific amount, just whatever the Lord lays on your heart to give.

Thanking you in advance for your kindness and generousity.

Dear friends,

Recently I was let go from my job. It's been about a month since I have had any income coming in. I had to leave my apartment and move back in with my parents as I could not pay my rent. This has just made it harder on my parents with the extra money on food they are spending. I try to help them with what I can, mostly with work around the house to help. I am constantly looking for work with no luck. It has finally come to my realization that I can't pay my upcoming phone bill, insurance, credit cards all which are at max, or for the money I need to pay to my college so I can finally go back to school. As of now I am not receiving unemployment and don't know if I'm going to be able to qualify or not. Even if I do it's only going to be enough to pay for maybe my insurance. I've recently posted some of my items on ebay and craigslist to sell just so I can pick at the debt I'm in.

HELP ME CARE FOR YOU INTHE FUTURE!
Dearest Community Member, Business Owner, and Friend,
I am a United States citizen, born in California, and raised in beautiful Orange County. I have been a full time student at Santa Ana College for the past two years. At the same time I have maintained full time employment. I also volunteer at St. Joseph Hospital located in the city of Orange. In addition, I have had the pleasure of donatingmy time on the Labor Day weekends at the Orange Street Fair to help students of El Modena High School raise funds for their specific causes. Upon earning my Associates Degree, I have taken the leap toward accomplishing my goal and desire to work asa nurse in the healthcare industry. I am currently attending Pacific College located in Costa Mesa with the goal of becoming a nurse. Becoming a nurse takes an enormous amount of hard work and dedication. I have what it takes in my heart and soul to accomplish this task. What I lack are the funds to make the monthly payments for the next two years while attending school and working full time to keep a roof over my head. The tuition for this school is$28,500.00. My student loans max out at$20,500.00. I’m looking for a way to come upwith the $8000.00 needed to bridge the gap.For this reason I am reaching out to the community. A part time job or a donation in any amount would be very much appreciated. Please help me become the individual that has the privilege to help and comfort you and your family in the future.
Donations of any amount are most graciously appreciated.
From the core of my heart and soul, I thank you for your consideration in this matter

We will be homeless August 31, 2011. There are 2 adults, including myself. We have a 12 year old special needs son which makes it difficult to get full time employment or any employment.

My husband has cancer and has a difficult time with every day living. And does not qualify for disability nor does our son qualify for Social Security. We don't qualify for TANF either only foodstamps.

We are flat broke, the last bit of our money, which was going to go for the rent and utilities was stolen.
If anyone could help us we would appreciate it. We both want to work but can't find work.

Please help us before we are out in the street. How do you tell a child who has Aspergers Syndrome he doesn't have a home any longer? It just breaks my heart this is our last few days here unless we get help with our rent and utilities.

We tried all the charities and churches, they are all out of funds right now.

Thank you and God Bless.

Update: we haven't gotten any donations or anything. We are packing up the car and leaving tomorrow. Our small family will be split up. I will go into a shelter and my son & husband will go to FL to stay temporarily with his mother. She only has room for 2 other people.

I added my paypal account hoping someone will take pity on us.

Thank you and God Bless.

Another sad update: my husband and son drove 600 miles to FL on Thursday and it was dreadful, the car was packed to the max. We have a small car it it was totally over loaded. What else was he to do? Our son has Aspergers, the only way he can survive a crisis such as this is is some sense of normalcy, meaning he needs his things, things that mean a lot to him even if they seem trivial to use they are not to him. So we loaded up the car with books, games, dvds, what have you.
Well, they get to my husband's mother's house in South FLA and instead of a loving welcome they get the worst from her. She is all over my husband and calling him all kinds of terrible things. She's down on her grandson, all over him. These 2 came 600 miles away and this is the welcome they got. Needless to say they are leaving FLA and returning to GA. Out of shear desperation. We will have to go into a shelter. We have no where to go. Noone has donated a dime to us. Just advice. Advice is nice but it doesn't pay the rent or utilities.

Does anyone even read these posts besides us who post them? I would love to hear from success stories that came from here. It would be a huge confidence boost. Rescent success stories within the last 6 months to a year.

My faith in God has increased within me, however my faith in humanity is failing.

We are no different than most of those also posting on here. Our needs are no more in demand. We all have a common bound, we are desperatly trying to keep our families together, through this crisis that seems to keep getting worse.

My cell phone is a pay-as-you-go, I only pay 25.00 a month for 300 mins, unlimited texting & net usage. 25.00 is an awesome deal if you have 25.00. I don't have it. So now I can't even talk with my husband to find out when he's coming to ATL (my service will be over September 7) or even post on here or check my paypal if some kind soul donated anything. We didn't really have it last month but we figured it was worth it, especially since we haven't had a pc for years. This is our only link to the internet - this and the library.
Some would say a cell phone is a luxury, not if you don't have a landline, we haven't had a landline in 2 years. Its become an absolute nessisity.

We don't smoke or drink, take illegal drugs or spend money on frivilous things. My clothes are beging to get shabby as are my shoes.

If anyone can donate a cell phone card of 25.00 it would be most welcome. I feel terrible asking but its my only link to my family in FL. Without it I have no phone. Forget the net I can live without it but not to be able to call my husband is terrible. its scary not having a phone.

My husband has a Safelink cell phone - a Welfare pay-as-you-go they only allow one per house hold. He gets a set amount of mins for free a month, you can chose to roll over your mins too on some of their plans. So mine is the only paid cell phone.

Thank you for reading and God Bless.

I am truly ashamed that I have to beg for help. That being said I do not know where else to turn for help. I am praying that there really are people who care enough to help others who are suffering.

I have been a loyal and faithful wife for 15 years. I've been with the same man for more than half of my life, as I was married very young. We have a 14 year old son and a 10 month old daughter. I would do anything for my family and I have tried for years to keep our family together. All I can say now is that enough is enough. My husband is diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. It has been extremely difficult dealing with his illness, but now it has become impossible. I've put up with him cheating on me, lying to me, him having alcohol problems, losing his jobs, his controlling behavior etc.. etc.. His illness causes him to believe that everyone is out to get him. He believes his home is bugged by the government as well as his phone. He believes they are tracking him in his vehicle. He believes he gets messages from God through the television and radio stations. He is see's and hears things that are not there. Many times he won't have a normal conversation with me unless we go outside and he runs the lawn mower so no one can listen in! I have tried to get him help and he's been hospitalized and medicated, but it does not help all his symptoms. I know that when your spouse is ill you should stay and take care of them, but I just cannot continue living this way. He is medicated at this time, so he isn't hallucinating. What he is, is extremely controlling. He moved us out of the apartment we were living in after my mother died last year. He moved us in with his mother, who has always disliked me. She treats me horribly. He stays gone all of the time and I am stuck here living in a garage. He has the only vehicle and he controls all of the money. We live in the middle of nowhere so I can't even walk to a gas station. He has alienated me from my friends and my family has all passed away now. All I have besides him is my two children. I would love to be able to work outside the home, but its impossible to do so without a vehicle and childcare. He knows this and just will not allow it.
My only hope is that enough people will understand what I am going through and have pity on my children and myself. All I wish to do is obtain enough money to get on my feet and get out of here. I will then gladly work as I was a Medical Billing Specialist. I will take care of my children and myself.

What I really need to do is move my children and myself into an apartment which runs on the bus line. This way I will be able to take the bus to work each day. After some time I will be able to save enough money to purchase a decent used car.

In my area a two bedroom apartment starts at $550 per month and a 3 bedroom apartment starts at $775 per month. Before I can move I need first and last months rent ($1550 max). $150 for Electricity Deposit. I am estimating that I would need about $500 to pay for a U-haul truck and a couple of guys to help move me in. I also feel that I should not move until I have my next months rent, grocery money and a little extra for miscellaneous expenses ($1275). So, it looks like as soon as I can come up with approximately $3500 my nightmare will finally end!

The good news is that I do have an old co-worker who is in charge of hiring at a medical billing office in my area. She is holding a position open for me in which I will earn $600 gross each week. I know its not much, but I should be able to manage on my own as long as I budget wisely. I should also be able to receive child support payments for my two children at some point in the future.

If you have the means to help my children and myself I plead with you to do so. You would be dramatically changing the lives of three people in a very positive way. I promise that I will never forget any help that I receive and as soon as I am in the position to do so I will pay it forward.

Thank you in advance for considering my request for help.

I am a recent college grad drowning in debt.

I work a job as a cleaner, but barely make enough money to pay my rent and utilities in New York City. I am locked into a 2 year lease, so moving away isn't an option right now, and even if I broke the lease I still don't have enough money to move. I recently got my first credit card and had to max it out buying groceries and paying for transportation to get to work. On top of that I have student loan payments to make.

I have been trying to find a second job, but this first one was hard enough to find. With the economy the way it is, people just aren't hiring -- especially not in the field my degree is in.

Looks like this is what a college education gets you these days.

$10,000 would completely turn my life around. Anything that you can give would be a blessing.

Thank you so much for reading this.

I messed up i ran up my credit card to the max.Yeah i know you probably saying to yourself"well this fool should not have got a credit card if he can not use it responsibly"Let me explain please i was gonna pay it off when i had a job.However the job played out.Then i was going to return the items i purchased to pay my credit card, but the money got stolen.So please find it in your heart to donate to me.

i am asking for help to pay for my dog max's vets bills.he has been coughing for a while and after some examinations from the vet,thinks he may have something stuck in his throat.x-rays are needed to confirm this.they cost £1500.i do work part time and trying to save but raising the cash needed seems like years away,while max might deteriorate.i have had him since he was born,and many people say rehome him if i cant afford the bill but i would never ever do this.any donation would be very gratefully received and much appreciated by max and myself.please help if you can.god bless x

I am currently going to college for a masters degree in public administration. Right now, I am very far behind in bills and am having trouble paying my rent which is $550 a month. In order to pay my rent I have had to max my credit cards out. I have a seasonal part time job that just opened for the summer. It is only helping a little and I have exhausted searches for other available work that can help me get ahead. Any help you can offer would be appreciated...I know times are hard for everyone.

My fiancé and I have started to struggle lately. He is a British citizen and is waiting for his immigration docs to come so he can legally work here. It's going to take another year for his documents to be finalized. He has run out of his savings and have had to rely on my credit cards to buy groceries. It's been extremely hard supporting a family of 5 on my income. My credit cards are maxed out and my line of credit is on it's way to the max. My daughter requires braces and I cannot afford to pay for it. She has trouble chewing and I wish I could provide her with braces. Please help. God bless.

I'm going through a rough time; I have a high risk pregnancy with numberous health problems such as acute pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas and a liver mass.

I've max out all my credit cards and have so many loans, I can't borrow anymore. Please help the Linden family, if not for me think of 2 innocent kids. It doesn't take much to be in this same situation. Find it in your heart to help us through this difficult time. God bless those who will help; it will come back to you tenfold!

I have never done anything like this before, or been on social aid or anything like that. I have worked very hard for everything I have and full time since I was 16... I worked for an automobile repair company, and was recently laid off-no warning-just one day poof! job gone! The employers that I had were wonderful to work for, as I have LUPUS and diabetes, and were very understanding, as sometimes I was quite sick. Mu furnace and hot water tank had to be replaced in february, and now with no savings, I find myself in a situation that is not good, and dont know where else to turn...I need to put food on the table for my daughter and I, and pay the bills. I have found someone willing to hire me, but the job doesn't start until the end of May, and still will have to wait a month to get paid. My mortgage is overdue, my loan payment for my car is past due, my house insurance is due tomorrow, and utility bills hanging over my head have got me stressed to the max. I beg of you to help me get over this hump..any amount will help. Thank you sooo soo much...God bless!!

Hello, my name is Jon. I really don't know what to say. I would love to give you my whole life story, but i feel it would be a waste. I could give you my recent happenings, but you would need to know the story before hand to fully appreciate my situation now.

What i will say is this. I am a 28 year old male that lives in Texas. I am a hard working man that is taking care of his sister and her baby, my 4 year old nephew. Up until the past couple weeks i have held a decent job, but was unable to save any money. With the rising gas prices, a minimum round trip of 90 miles a day and food for 4, the 1400 a month i made at my job was just barely enough to keep up. The 4th person was my brother, he recently volunteered to move in with a friend of his to help out. My sister and I do not have this luxury. So the 2 of us are about to starve/become homeless, if something doesn't go our way soon. The reason for the dilemma is 2 weeks ago (April 15th) I lost my job. I have 2 pay checks to survive on until i find a job, which rent($550) is due on the 1st and the utility bill($150) is overdue. I we have a total of $730 with no source of income, family members are in tight situations, the job market for our skills is seemingly filled and we don't know where to turn. We live 10 miles from the closest city we both only have about an 1/8 of a tank of gas, neither of us have car insurance anymore as they have lapsed, and only my sister has a phone now (paygo phone with 3$ left on it *3 days of use max*). I don't know where to turn. I normally have a few months of living cost saved up but with such a small paycheck supporting 4 people i was unable to do so.

I'm not even asking for money exactly, and even though it would be GREAT, a job would be BETTER! I'm willing to do anything! NO SHAME! If any of you have anything you need done online I might be able to do it! If you live near or in the east side of Dallas(we live outside of the metro area by about 30 miles)I'm willing to keep your yard up, wash your car, pick up trash, clean horse stalls, build a deck, build cabinets, dance around to humor and entertain... It really doesn't matter to me at all what it could be. But if not, money is the next best thing. FOOD!!! Food would be a HUGE help! Heck, I would work for food! (Unlike those people you see at intersections).

If you are able to help us at all with anything it would be greatly appreciated! The things we need are Food, Rent, utilities, gas, phone and internet too as it would aid in job seeking. Neither of us have outstanding debit or owe anyone money. We have lived by the saying "Live by your means, not your wants." which is probably the most important pieces of advice i have ever received while growing up.


Thank you,

What i will say is this. I am a 28 year old male that lives in Texas. I am a hard working man that is taking care of his sister and her baby, my 4 year old nephew. Up until the past couple weeks i have held a decent job, but was unable to save any money. With the rising gas prices, a minimum round trip of 90 miles a day and food for 4, the 1400 a month i made at my job was just barely enough to keep up. The 4th person was my brother, he recently volunteered to move in with a friend of his to help out. My sister and I do not have this luxury. So the 2 of us are about to starve/become homeless, if something doesn't go our way soon. The reason for the dilemma is 2 weeks ago (April 15th) I lost my job. I have 2 pay checks to survive on until i find a job, which rent($550) is due on the 1st and the utility bill($150) is overdue. I we have a total of $730 with no source of income, family members are in tight situations, the job market for our skills is seemingly filled and we don't know where to turn. We live 10 miles from the closest city we both only have about an 1/8 of a tank of gas, neither of us have car insurance anymore as they have lapsed, and only my sister has a phone now (paygo phone with 3$ left on it *3 days of use max*). I don't know where to turn. I normally have a few months of living cost saved up but with such a small paycheck supporting 4 people i was unable to do so.

I'm not even asking for money exactly, and even though it would be GREAT, a job would be BETTER! I'm willing to do anything! NO SHAME! If any of you have anything you need done online I might be able to do it! If you live near or in the east side of Dallas(we live outside of the metro area by about 30 miles)I'm willing to keep your yard up, wash your car, pick up trash, clean horse stalls, build a deck, build cabinets, dance around to humor and entertain... It really doesn't matter to me at all what it could be. But if not, money is the next best thing. FOOD!!! Food would be a HUGE help! Heck, I would work for food! (Unlike those people you see at intersections).

If you are able to help us at all with anything it would be greatly appreciated! The things we need are Food, Rent, utilities, gas, phone and internet too as it would aid in job seeking. Neither of us have outstanding debit or owe anyone money. We have lived by the saying "Live by your means, not your wants." which is probably the most important pieces of advice i have ever received while growing up.


Thank you,
Jon
