Meal Tags

I'm a single mother and a full time college student with a part time job. I make roughly 240 dollars a week. This month I paid a rent bill, electric bill, water bill, car payment, auto insurance bill, Internet bill, and had to buy baby supplies along with the normal household necessities such as dish detergent, clothes detergent, soap, toothpaste, garbage bags, ect. No problem! I usually manage to pay all of my bills by the grace of something bigger than myself. I don't know how I'm doing it. I've been doing it for over a year now by myself. I do without a luxurious cell phone and television. I have to have Internet for school. Thank God for Google and Youtube. A girl deserves more entertainment other than deciphering her 9 month old's poop to determine whether or not its lime-greenish hue comes from the peas she ate 2 days ago, or if a fungus is among us.

The thing is.. I am hungry. I am not Ethiopian starving, but I'm hungry. My last meal consisted of a pack of chicken flavored ramen noodle soup and 3 saltine crackers. The 7 meals before that consisted of the same exact thing, except I was so lucky as to add a few broccoli florets to the soup broth. I have since ran out of broccoli and ramen. All I have left in my food pantry is canned baby food, and oatmeal. I am down to drinking tap water and falling asleep at night to the borborygmus sounds that my intestines sing to me out of pure hunger. I am so very blessed to be able to pay my bills and provide for my daughter while furthering my education so that some fine day we will both be living like Princesses. I have counted each and every one of my blessings. However, food isn't among these blessings of mine. All I'm asking is for someone to treat a girl to a hot nutritious meal.

HI, my name is Michael. For the longest time I've been wanting to do something about my teeth. I can't remember the last time I smiled in a picture or go out for a meal without worrying about what I can or can't eat or chew. I would like to feel normal again one day. But at the moment that's the least of my problems with eviction about a month away we are stuck with two small children (2 & 5) and no money thanks to mounting bills and benefit cuts. Last year I was forced to leave my job due to health problems. I'm waiting to have surgery on my hip in a month or so and hopefully I can get back to work before Christmas. I have never done this before but I am desperate, I feel I let my family down. Any donation however small would be appreciated we have nothing left to sell.Would be willing to pay back any loans once I'm back on my feet again. Thank you.

Hi,

It's so hard to come on this site and ask for assistance, but when you have four small kids you have to do what's best for them. My husband is the only one working Full-time and I am not able to go back to work due to the expenses for childcare. We have an 8 yr old son, 5 yr old daughter, almost 3 year old, and a 4 month old son. With just one person working, each month we are living paycheck to paycheck, but having to get loans and when my husband gets paid all of our money is gone. My heart hurts for my family because I have to see us struggle and not have. There are many times that we don't know where our next meal is coming from or how my husband will get to work in order to pay bills and support us. I have tried working online but have been unsuccessful. Each time though God has provided for my family and we are still blessed. Please if anyone can help my family out. We really need you. Thank You, Heather

I have just received a notice that my landlord will have me evicted because I am late on my rent. I'm 14 days late. I've been managing to make ends meet but I haven't been able to find a job and my previous employer has went out of business after working there for 5 years. I have filled out so many applications, made phone calls, physically went in to speak with a manager and still no luck. I go to every job, career, or hiring fair I can and still nothing. I paid my April rent and had nothing left but $17 in my pocket. I bought rice and beans and that's all I've eaten for the past month. I only eat 1 meal a day because I can't afford to eat anything more. My light are off because I couldn't pay it. I've sold everything I think is of value...my laptop, my tv, my phone, and any expensive clothing items I owned (which were gifts). I'm 20 years old and my parents can't help, they are bankrupt as of 6 months ago. I try not to let anyone see me down about this, but I'm extremely depressed because of this and I'm trying everything I can to help myself.

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

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

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

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

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

I did this every day for 5 ½ years.

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you so much for letting me share my story with you.

I am a graduating college senior in a bit of a financial predicament.

1. I still don't have my cap and gown. I had one, but my car got stolen and I stupidly hadn't taken it out yet, and when I got my car back it was gone. That's $89.

2. My family is coming for graduation. No one has any money, and I just want to pay for their hotel for one night so they can see me graduate. I'm the first in my family to graduate from a major university, that's $100.

3. I would love to cook a huge meal for my friends and family while they are here for my graduation. I could work wonders with just another $100.

4. My bank account is overdrawn. If it doesn't get paid in two weeks, then I can't get my financial aid from my new graduate program I'm starting in a few weeks. Its my only bank account and I won't qualify for another one because I've made some major financial mistakes while in college. Its $75 overdrawn.

5. My phone bill is due in 6 days. To avoid service interruption, I have to pay 2 months worth of the bill, since I'm behind one month. The full amount due is $175.00.

6. I was lucky enough to find an apartment I can live in for really cheap for the summer, until my full time job I just got starts and I get my financial aid from my program. The deposit for the apartment is $150, and I have the rest of May absolutely free and can even pay the rent of June when I get my financial aid from my grad program.

7. The last 11 dollars is just to have something in my pocket, since I seriously do not have any money.

I know there are probably more beggars on this site than donors, but I figured it was worth a try. This is why I need the money. If you send me $700 via paypal, I will delete this ad and send you $1000 back on the 10th of June. Guaranteed.

I recently got my Bachelor's Degree in Writing and English in Grand Rapids, MI. The economy out there is terrible, so I took a train to Seattle, WA. I'm currently staying with a friend in Bellevue.

Pretty soon here, I'm going to have no money. My friend wants rent money by June 1st - $400. I can't afford to eat and pay him rent at the same time.

My beg is for any money you can possibly spare - just enough to get a meal or two would be nice enough. I've applied for over 35 corporate positions in the last two days, and countless minimum wage positions.

Work is also acceptable. I am a published writer, and I would be happy to edit/proofread/write documents for you in exchange for money.

Thank you

I leave everything in God's hand but I still have to do something. Maybe God's helping hand Angel(s) are on this website.

I lost my job and finding one is difficult. We could not afford my car payment and my car was repoed. The motor in wife's car burned up and needs replacing, but we don't have the money to replace it. She is the only one with a job right now and it is difficult to get her back and forth to work. So each day is a struggle to get her to work between trying to borrow cars or get rides just to keep her job.

We choose which bill not to pay that month, just to have food in the house to feed our young son and buy him clothes because he is having his growth spurts.

The phone will soon be cut off due to non-payment and then how will an potential employer contact me for work.

We are behind on the house note again. Thank God for income tax returns because that caught up the past due house note and stopped foreclosure from the end of last year. But we are behind again and another foreclosure will soon be issued, just so we can feed our family, have utilities and a phone.

Any donations from Angel's would be greatly appreciated. Even $5.00 from 1 Angel would let us buy some hamburger meat and bread for a meal.

God bless and multiply everyone that just reads this 'beg'.

I leave everything in God's hand but I still have to do something. Maybe God's helping hand Angel(s) are on this website.

I lost my job and finding one is difficult. We could not afford my car payment and my car was repoed. The motor in wife's car burned up and needs replacing, but we don't have the money to replace it. She is the only one with a job right now and it is difficult to get her back and forth to work. So each day is a struggle to get her to work between trying to borrow cars or get rides just to keep her job.

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.

I'm not begging for money because too many people ask for money and don't use it for what they say they are. I'm taking the 'risk' out of such things happening here.

My family is like a lot of others right now. My husband has been laid off for over a year now and no prospects of a new job. Kids have moved back home with us and our food supply is dropping low.

We planted a garden that is big enough to handle the family (7 families in all!! Thank GOD not all of them are married with kids!) I have (I think) plenty of jars scrounged from other places, dumps etc. But what I DO NOT have are the lids! You can't can if you don't have the lids. I'm looking for the reusable "tattler" lids and rings. That way I don't have to find new ones after every use.

If you feel led to help my 'little' family please go to the Tattler website and send whatever you feel comfortable with. I know it would be GREATLY appreciated with every meal we are able to sit down to.

Thank you so much for reading and considering. God bless you and yours.

I can't get out of the payday loan trap! My next loan is due Friday 3/23/12 and will take my entire paycheck! I also have $60 in tool bills due Friday-if I lose my tools, I lose my job as a mechanic. Beyond that, I have $107 phone bill that's overdue, and a $282 electric bill due on 3/27/12. If I don't pay the electric bill on time, my previous payment arrangement is void, and the entire $700 is due immediately or my power will be cut off. I work full time as does my spouse and we are doing everything possible to make ends meet, but we need to do more. We collect & sell scrap metal, recycle & repurpose, coupon, etc...the things the "experts" say to stretch a dollar. I know most people are just getting by as it is these days, but even just a dollar will help...that's enough for a meal for my beautiful 8 year old daughter. I have a $1/hr raise coming soon, but not soon enough. Thank you for your generosity.

Hi all, I am from India. I live in beautiful country. We stand united in our nations development, but we have social barriers in each and every corner.

Human beings are nourished by our mother nature with fruits, vegetables, water and air. But there are so many places that are affected by extreme climates, drought and natural calamities .

i have never missed three meals a day - 1 breakfast, i lunch and 1 dinner. I cant even imagine to miss any of my meals.

Have you seen people not having a single penny to buy a meal. Working for nothing but food. People running behind one slice of bread. We leave in a world with half a billion of people dying of hunger.

i don't have enough money to buy a meal to all of them but you can.

Help those who come to you for food. If it is possible buy them a Meal.

May god bless u all..

I'd like to do something for someone else; I am friends with a family of 3 generations who has NEVER been on a vacation of any kind other than to the river to fish or to a movie because they are poor, have a large family, and just could never afford it. I'd like to take the patriarch, 3 of his sons, and 1 of those son's wife and 3 kids to Disney World, next year 2013, after all the new Fantasyland is done, and when they're doing the free meal plan. I need 2 packages for about $4000 each (moderate rooms with standard meal plan), or if we do it the dirt cheap room/quick meals only with no table meals or character buffets way, about $2000 each; any help is appreciated, as I am trying to pay for this MYSELF and I am on disability and staying at home every day and doing nothing and spending nothing for the next 2 years just so I can hopefully afford to pay some if not all of their trip. But I need donations to help pay for the rest of the trips. Please help! You can contact me here on facebook or by email at spyyder976@yahoo.com, please use subject line Disney World vacation donation or something so I know that it isn't junk mail because yahoo mail has a ton of junk mail! I can contact you directly and give info. on this family and prove I'm not scamming anyone, and any help, be it one penny or 1, 5, 10, 20 bucks, or even 50, 100, 500, 1000, or more is greatly appreciated! Even a penny donation will help! A dollar will help 100 times more though!:) Thank you so much for reading and considering helping me to make this family's dreams come true! If I get enough help I will add a 3rd package so some of their other siblings can go, if they can get off work and are able to. There's another son who has a wife and 2 stepkids, but he may not can get off work, and the mother also may not can get off work. The father is on disability so he will not have to schedule off days and can go anytime. There are 2 daughters, both of whom are married and one has a newborn and one just got pregnant, so they most likely won't be able to go. At most, I would need 3 packages, but at least 2 packages. We will be driving, so we'll not need air fare, just gas to get down there for a 6-8 hour drive and back each way, which we can cover if need be. I plan to go and give them the grand tour since I've been once, and I can pay for myself, and part of 1 or 2 other person's trip if I have to, but I can't afford to pay to take 8 or 9 folks to Disney World for a week to 10 days on my own. Thank you again!

I have recently went through a divorce because my wife decided to break up with me because she made more money than me. I helped her buy a business, and as soon as she started seeing her money roll in, she kicked me to the curb. My parents are both deceased so now I have noone to turn to for assistance. I hold a good job and have been working there for 5 years so far, but student loans are the only things preventing me from receiving a personal loan. I am living in my vehicle because I do not have enough money to catch up on the bills she stuck me with, and this is the only way to survive and pay them. I need 6000 to help pay off these payday loans, and pay first months rent, a deposit, and a past due electric bill. Please find it in your heart to lend me a hand, so that I can finally get a good nights sleep, cook a decent meal, and be rested for work. And most off all, move on with my life. I had never seen this coming, I am hurt and all of this money problem is just making things harder and harder and putting a strain on my job.
