This is my story from THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE to now May 23 2012.
I am 26 and live on a little island off the uk . when I was 19 I got a loan out to buy a car, the car cost was about £22,000 thats about ($34,546.6) this was the worst diction of my life about 6 months after buying the car, I found myself out of work and unable to pay back the payment, so the loan company that had been charging me for not paying back my debt had now with the charges taken the debt from £20,000 upto about £25,000 ($39,290) then took my car and auctioned it off for £5,000 about ($7,855) this took my debt down to £20,000 . At this point I realized the massive mistake I had made but noticing this didn't change the fact I was in debt and didn't know who I was going to get out. So I did the best I could and to worked and paid off what I could . I have now got my debt down to about £10,000 that is ($15,705) meaning in the last 7 years I have paid £17,000 ($26,710.4) for a car I don't have. I was getting paid about £11,500 ($18051.55) a year and living off about £9,000 a year for food rent/bills and anything else, the thing is i have just lost my job again because of cut backs and there is no work here at the moment so any help would be amazing. See when I was 19 I wanted to go to the USA and do a ski season or some seasonal work but now I want to do some volunteer work but with this debt I am stuck here . The worst part of this all to me is that when I think at I could be £17,000 ($26,710.4) richer had I not brought that car and could be living my dreams and helping other people instead I am stuck in a hole needing the help. If anybody does help me I will be very greatful and will be happy to return the favour in some way .

Thanks again

I have a 9 year old boy and a 3 year old boy. My 9yr old is having a birthday in July and my 3yr old is having a birthday in August. I am a single mother who has been struggling for the past 7 months, I am asking if anyone can help me to get my boys something for their birthdays, my 9 yr old is Jeffery, my 3yr old is Owen. Our address is 5648 s 4050 w in Roy, Utah 84067. I would be so greatful if anyone could help. They are all boy, meaning they like things like cars, trucks, play guns, and sports.

I'm a 25 year old mother of a beautiful little boy. I'm currently employed but i literally live from paycheck to paycheck. I'm not the type of person who buys silly things i have a system when i shop i seperate the needs from my wants, meaning i dont buy things i dont need.Some might say i'm pretty tight with my money and i know i am, i recently had my hours dropped down at work and now its super hard to pay rent and bills, I'm scared that i'm going to come home to no lights or have an eviction notice on my door. If anyone can please help me i would be greatly appreciated in anything u are able to help with any penny helps!! Thank you and God Bless.

Thank You so very much for your help. Heres my story. I am in my early 30s. I am a mother of two loving kids ages 4 and 9. My husband moved out a year ago after a bout of depression, stating "I love you thats why I cant stand to stay here n watch you die like this!" And it is true anyone who has watched a loved one waste away before thier eyes can tell you it eats your soul. In a way I cant blame him. I have hopes we will someday get our family back together. Untill then I am in this alone, and now find my self here asking you for help.
I have several cronic illnesses. Including scoliosis:Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown. My scoliosis curve got worse, the spine rotated and twisted, in addition to curving side to side. This caused the ribs on one side of the body to stick out farther than on the other side. Severe scoliosis can caused back pain and difficulty breathing. In my case In severe scoliosis, the rib cage may press against the lungs and heart, making it more difficult to breathe and harder for the heart to pump.I also experience harsh neurological affects of Muscle weakness, Numbness and Abnormal reflexes. To save my life I had to have surgery.
Surgery involves correcting the curve (although not all the way) and fusing the bones in the curve together. The surgeon lays bone grafts across the exposed surface of each vertebra. These grafts will regenerate, grow into the bone, and fuse the vertebrae together. The bones are held in place with one or two metal rods held down with hooks and screws, helping to support the fusion of the vertebrae.I went through all this at age 13. But now with the onset of sevral more cronic illness complication from the surgery that once saved my life now slowly kill me.
Years later I began getting sicker and sicker by the time I was 20 my spine was degenerating causing horrible pain, I had to have my appendix removed, then gallblader went bad. We never dreamed these all had a common factor. Doctors just shook their head proclaiming :you are just so young for your body to be failing like this". Eventually it was discovered I have Lupus and severe arthritus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the body' s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy organs and tissue. Lupus can affect any part of the body, causing inflammation and damage in joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, or the brain. More than 90% of people with lupus have skin rashes, often triggered by exposure to the sun, and about half have kidney and lung problems. Because lupus affects the joints, it is considered a rheumatic (arthritis) disease.
Upon this discovery things began to make sense. So doctors now knowing why began a body wide check up to see what all has been affected. One test was A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are present in a section of your bone. Your health care provider uses this test, along with other risk factors, to predict your risk of bone fractures in the future and detect osteoporosis. Bone fracture risk is highest in people with osteoporosis. They found I indeed had osteoporosis at the age of 22. SO now My bones are weaking causing damage areas all over my body, but the most serious being in my spine. Now comes the arthritis/lupus, they see these damaged areas and my own imune system attacks. Eating at the damaged areas creating even more damage, which increases the area the lupus attacks. It is a vicious circle. I have now been treated with medication over 10 yrs. But they can only slow the illness there is no cure, and dure to my scoliosis and the metal rods in my back surgical treatment options are very limited.
The damage is so severe I was decared legally disabled by the age of 23. My only income is SSI. I have to support my children and I on 658.00 a month. Thank God the court issued my ex to pay my rent in lue of child support. I am asking for help to cover upcoming medical bills. In the last 14 months I have had 5 seperate kidney surgery. My right kidney is damaged and I will soon be having a 6th surgery. This one to remove damaged section of the tube that leads from the kidney to bladder. then they will reattach at a higher section of bladder. I will aslo be having several Jaw surgeries. Due to exposure to radiation, osteoperosis a excessive vomiting of stomache acid my teeth are breaking and falling out. The doctor needs to repair what they can and put in inplants for what they cant. This will slow the degineration of my jaw. Without this treatment my jaw is going to cave in. Currently I am only able to eat mushy foods. I have drastically lost weight and my body is stuggling to heal due to the stress, pain and infection. So I hunbly beg of you to help me 1.00 or 50.00 anything would help. These procedures will not only improve my quality of life but aslo help extend my time here on earth just a little ehile longer. I just want to be with my kids as long as I can.Whith each dollar you donate its like adding an hour to my life.....What would you give for a few more hours with the ones you love?

I couldnt afford to take time off work as i dont get sick pay and any medical visits our also none payable so i jsut fort through the trouble and it started to get better until last weekendf when my breathing trouble got a lot worse to the point that as my fiancce drove me to the hospital i was unable to talk and was close to passing out due to lack of oxygen on arrival i was russhed into a and e and into the medical assement unit where i remained for the next 4 hours i was then moved onto a ward and told that i had pnemonia and that i would be required to stay in hospital for 3 days and then would have to rest at home for a further 2 weeks meaning i would miss 15 days of work and 15 days of pay. Unfortunatly i work in a company where alot of workers would abuse the sick pay benefit so it got written out of our contracts years ago. i was never one to do this but if i wanted to keep my job i was forced to sign this contracrt now im worrying if i dnt go back to work now i wnt be able to afford rent food heating but also if i do go back i may make myself worse and end up back in hospital its catch 22 please if you can give anything i would be grateful. thanks you in advance

I'm really embarrassed to ask for money, but after discussing with my wife the last two days we decided that anything will help. We need help to get out of debt, the reason for the majority of the debt is mainly my son's school fees. Over the last 3yrs we have maxed out on 2 credit cards and 2 loans, including my wife's inheritance she got from her grandma. I went to the school before and tried to explain my predicament and they said that there is many people that struggle, they can only reduce payment by 10%, that is if the board agrees. Work is only prepared to lend me a small portion of that (meaning more debt), and they told me to declare myself insolvent! I have already cancelled my car and life insurances, and reduced my medical insurance. I mostly work 6 to 7 days a week @ 14hrs a day between 2 jobs.
I have recently started making bio fuel from used cooking oil to help reduce my fuel cost. I don't know what else to do, the bills just keep piling up!
All I can do now is ask...beg...for help, I don't even know if this will work.
I don't expect someone to make all my debt disappear, that be nice tho :). But I kindly ask if some people would not mind donating even as little as $1 anything extra would help.
And if you've read this far, thank you for reading my post, and taking time to try and help others. I hope and pray that some day someone can help you too.
Special Thanks,
A Loving Dad.
Update 28-02-2012 No donations yet :( Scammers galore. Will try and take extra on my mortage today, good luck all, holding thumbs...
Update 29-02-2012 nope, nothing yet...damn scammers, how they got my e-mail, dunno, but wanting to pay a donation claiming they are from legitimate companies, but have a yahoo email? Apparently the CEO, asking for me to pay a portion back to them...and and and...most ppl come here because they are desperate, and then among the debt collectors and lawyers you still have to deal with assholes like that too!

i am an ex convict ,that has completely turned my life around and became a good man.i am now 42 spent most of my life in and out .my father is 69 VIETNAM WAR VETERAN ,my father tells me he has one motorcycle trip left in him (because of cancer) ,and if we are going to make that one trip together. i better be ready to ride by early august for atleast a month .i am very frustrated to know that this is the only chance i will have for us to ride together .the amount of hours i am working for ups is barely paying my bills,and to live on.im asking for any assistance that someone could provide to me .when i left PELICAN BAY prison 43 months ago i discovered the real meaning to life ,and all i want is to ride with my father one time .i am doing anything that could possibly help me to reach that goal by august .ONLY IF IT IS LEGAL .

I dont have a 2 page sob story to go with my 'beg'. My husband and I both work over 30 hours a week, pay our bills on time etc etc but have never been able to save for a house of our own. The house we are currently renting has a hot water system in the roof which leaks and floods my hall way, a massive crack in my baby girls wall which lets mosquitos and bees into her room so she cant sleep in there at all, an airconditioner which leaks water everywhere, no drinking water to the premises which we have to drive 15kms to get any, mice enjoying living here with us and crappy landlords who do nothing to help fix anything. We have tried to rent at least 10 other properties (the area we live in is not very large) all of which many other people have gotten in before us, so the only option left for us in order to get out of this house is to buy one, meaning we need a huge deposit that we just dont have and wont for a very long time. Our main priority every pay check is to pay our rent and bills and provide for our baby and saving for a house just isn't feasable after these are taken into consideration. Your help would be VERY much appreciated!!!

I've always been too proud and independent to ask for help... now I feel like im drowning. This is my last resort, I can't face the world with my poor excuse of a life!
The love of my life left me, left me with a note that said 'stay cool'. He had surrounded me with fake love and security. Convincing me that my best choice in life was to discharge from the military (after eight years of service) and be a stay at home mum to our children. I obliged. I loved him and I believed he loved me. I ask you, what would you have done??
So it turns out he never loved our children or myself. He left, never to be heard from since (eight months ago). I was left with combined debts totalling $180k. His not an Australian citizen meaning I am responsible for this debt. I have no income and two children. Is bankruptcy my only option?
Please help me, I have tried to stay composed and in control, I have tried to reinlist (not targets for fy 12/13), i have tried to find employment. I have a casual job, however I am not covering the loan repayments! I am begging for your help, please help me. I constantly ask myself 'how could i not have seen this coming??' but i loved him, i loved him so much. He was a professional on a good income and we had a family together. Was it wrong of me to feel secure. Was my choices considered normal, would you have done things differently?

I'm in one of the biggest financial problems i've come across in my lifetime. I'm a 22 year old student in the second year of university.

I recently got sacked from my job in the new year and have been searching high and low for the past month for a new one with no success after many rejections and interviews.

It's got to a stage now where I can't even afford the bills and rent for my housing this coming month and if not I will have to abandon my studies.

I haven't even eaten any food in days as I can't even afford that, it also doesn't help some little child has thought it amusing to cut the brake wires on my bicycle meaning I know can't even travel around !

This is all after the fact I can't even afford medical care anymore that I require to help keep me in good health as I can't even afford my prescriptions anymore.

Any help and any amount would be a god send and I would never be able to thank you enough !

I am 32 and currently unemployed. Got a lot of debt, a wife and a daughter. I am not asking for help to pay of debt, i need roughly 1000 dollars for a course that also provides job placement, meaning I can work hard and pay of my own debt. Please help me to just raise enough to do this course in fresh meat processing technician. Thank you and God bless

My names jade and i'm 20 years old. I am currently employed full time but I get less than minimum wage and because I work for a small company locally they can't afford to give me a pay rise. For the past few years I've had the odd loan here and there but when my father tragically died last year, my mother doesn't work and I've been trying to support us financially ever since (because It's been extremely hard being on less than minimum wage. I've tried to search for other jobs that pay more, but in these times it's very hard to find jobs! So therefore I've had to take our several loans which means I'm not in debt. I try not to tell my mother about this as I know it will worry her. I'm now overdue on serveral loans/bills, meaning heating, phone line, water etc will be cut off. I'm so so worried and don't see a way out anymore. My debts come to serveral 1000. I just need some sort of help for anyone please. Any donation would make a drastic difference to my life. Being only 20 I feel I've been through too much bad luck for someone so young. Just trying to get a break. Please help if you can, it will be greatly appriciated. Thank you.

Hello, I moved out of my family home 18 months ago to pursue a better life and career in a large city in England. Everything was going well until last December when I was unfortunately made redundant out of the blue. I have used the small amount of money I had to pay for December and January. I have had to start claiming JSA, but this doesn't even cover a quarter of my bills. I am now really struggling, falling behind on rent already and not being able to pay off the credit cards that I took out when I had a job. I know this is my own fault and that I should of been more careful with money. But I really have fallen in to financial hardship at this time. My phone has been cut off and I have had my ebay account closed due to not being able to pay ebay seller fees as I had to use the money for food. Thus meaning I can't even sell the very little amount of possessions I own.

I haven't got any dependents and I don't have any life threatening illnesses. I understand if you bypass me for someone more needy, but I would be grateful for anything you could spare me as I really am desperate. I have over £800 due to come out of my account next week and my overdraft maxed. I have no one to turn too. Please if you could, consider me.

Kind Regards, a desperate and worried young lady.

hi,i am currently in a part time job and up to my eyes in debt, minimum wage means my wages do not stretch from one month to another meaning missing payments on my debts just to keep a roof over my head and to keep warm, If in anyway anyone can help to reduce these bills i will be eternally grateful. I am not asking for big donations just however much people are willing to donate.
(Every little helps.)
Thank you kindly.

I know this is a longshot as I'll certainly not be the only one in this position but basically I'm just a young, single person, trying to support myself & pay for my flat alone. I might not seem like a worthy case as I'm healthy, have no children etc but it's still a total struggle to get by at times, especially in this economic climate. The main reason I'd like to raise money, other than a bit more financial stability is because my mum has helped me out a lot over the past few years & I've relied on her a lot more than I should have, her hours at work have recently been cut meaning she'll be struggling as well & I'd really like to make a contribution towards paying back all the money she's leant me etc. If you could help at all, even just $1 or even less, every little donation would be appreciated. I know you're probably used to seeing these stories & you don't know me personally but you've no idea how grateful I'd be!

Hi
I wish to take a retreat from my job and spend time looking into myself and inquire about the meaning of life. It’s serious for me. I think this is important as it helps an individual understand himself and also his relationship with the world. I am not sure how long it is going to take and it might end very soon also.
I have saved a bit which will help me for few months but then I need support of people like you so that I keep going.
Regards and thanks,

My mother has had a stroke. Mom and I lived together and shared expences. We
are so very close and I come close to losing her. We have no other family to
help us, it's just us against the world. Mom is in a nursing home rehab
center to gain strenth in walking and memory. When she is done with rehab
she will need a safe place to live, meaning a place that has no steps, easy

entry into the shower and bathroom, and close to doctors. I can't bare
leaving her in a nursing home, I would like to take care of her in a safe
environment with easy access to doctors. We rent and shared expences and now
all the expences have fallen on me. Plus driving a long distace to see her
in the nursing home rehab. I could really use some extra money for getting
an apartment set up and moving expences. I am wanting to get moved before
the weather gets real bad. I do have a job but can't get the money fast
enough to get moved right away. I would appreciate your help at this
difficult time.thank you

Hello
I am in desperate need for tuition money. I am in the process of graduating in 2 semesters and do not have the money to continue. I just received an excellent internship offer, but I will not be able to do it this summer unless I take the classes I need to take this coming January. And since I am originally from another country, that means I need to go to school this Spring, or I will be out of status, meaning Illegal. Please help me!! Even if you want I could pay you back slowly later when I start working.

My boyfriend and I have both lost our jobs and have not been able to find anything down here. We are currently in South Florida with no family and no money. We have not been able to eat most days. We are trying to get enough money to move to Pittsburgh to be close to family and the unemployment rate is very low there meaning there will be more jobs and the rent is cheaper. Please help us. We need to be able to survive and eat. Thank you.

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.

Hi potential donors,
Am in dire need of cash of up to $1000. my challenges are that in 2009 i left my small business which was giving me atleast $166/month in a low cost kenyan town to the capital nairobi for a proffessional job which came with a package of $245 net/month with a six months probation after which i was to get an addition to $500. Now 2 years later am still earning $245. the cost of life has tripled and i now also support my younger sister who has a small baby girl but has lost her job. My younger brother whom i left to run the business run it down. Now i need to start a business that can get me out of these pressures maybe into other pressures of management but not financial. If i get the donation, i will open up my business and with time am sure i will be able to open another business for my sister so that she gives me space to carry on with my developments while she is also able to support her daughter. Please note that am note dying of hunger, Am under immense pressure, at 27 am late with my planned progress in life, you can get me back on track. Am an electronic technician meaning that my investment will only require minimal capital which are Capital for the workshop premise, city licenses, copyright for music, furniture and a few start up stock. I already have all the required tools.Contact: 2000kenyans@gmail.com
Kind regards.

Its simple really, I just need 20.000 dollars! Yeah, not so simple really, but its what I, more like we need. When I say we I mean my Investor and I.

I'm not asking for a gift. I'm really just looking for an investor, and no, he does not have to pass the money to me, so there is no way of me scamming him with the 20k.

Ok, so how does this work? This is actually, believe it or not, simple.

My yield is over 12% in my last 6 months of betting on football (soccer). I think I have done very well though, almost too well to keep it up for years and years, and in the long hall a Yield of between 6% and 9% would be what we should be expecting per month.

What is yield? Its what you can expect to get back from the amount of money you bet.

Let me explain this in a simpler fashion. Our bank is 20000 dollars, I only bet 5% or less of our bank, depending on the strength of the bet, on each match, but lets say I bet 5% of our bank on each match; that means I'm betting 1000 dollars per game. 100 games a month is what we could expect me to come up with for bets, so lets suppose I'm hitting 100 games a month, that's 100,000 dollars were betting a month. If our yield is 6%, this means we would be making 6000 dollars a month. Basically we can expect to make between 6/10 grand a month.

The risk is very low, because were only risking 5% of our bank per bet. Meaning I would have to lose a lot of games and be on a really bad strike to lose our money.

6/10 grand may not seem like a lot, but it is, because the risk level is very low, and the potential is very high.

I have a lot of experience in football (soccer), I've played it professionally, I've coached it and I've been betting on it for years now. Unfortunately I cannot come up with the 20.000 dollars so I need a partner.

There is a lot more to this, so if your interested write me.

Do you believe in true love? I do, and I may always believe if bestowed the proper provisions.

She was the only thing that saved me from a life of crime and possibly worse, and she came all the way from Argentina to do so. I was, as I am now, a poor student in Colorado and a "lucky bum" who finally got a break by love finding him. Currently I study foreign language, ie; Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Latin. As impressively smart as one would assume i'd have to be to study so many languages at once, to the contrary I was terribly stupid where it matters most, which is at romance. In short because of being a total " fat -head" and ingrate, I let her get on a plane out of my life without saying goodbye. Its been over a year.

Since then, my nights have been like torture without her, and each new romantic fling has been as hollow and meaningless as the preceding. The good news is however, that her and I have keep frequent contact via SKYPE.COM video calls.(thank God 4 skype!) She is in the same position as I am, realizing that she too cannot find closure to our love, and therefore we have decided that we want to be together, except forever this time. So I decided to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina indefinitely to be with the only girl for me.

However it is not enough for me to just get a plane ticket and rush over to South America and live happily ever after, I will also need a job, as well as a room or a hostel to stay in while I job hunt. ( Quite frankly, I am not trying to be unemployed,broke, and living in her mother's house in S. America, no thanks!) Therefore I am also hoping to earn/receive enough money to enroll in a program called ITTO or (International Teachers Training Organization) in Guadalajara, Mexico to receive my license to teach English as a second language(TESL) before going to live in Buenos Aires.

Target date you ask? I am trying to get out of here by early september or october of 2011. As it stands I am basically homeless, out of school for vacation, (meaning no financial aid) and have been doing temporary labor jobs which barely keeps me fed on the weekly basis, let alone permit me to save money for the provisions necessary to go on this life altering journey to find the truth of true love.

All together, I estimate with the cost of a round trip ticket to Argentina ( round trip, because non- citizens are not permitted with one way tickets) as well as the cost of the fore mentioned ITTO course and travel to and from Mexico from Colorado, plus the survival money I will need once ( god willing) I arrived in B's A's, I stand in a financial need of about $5,000.00 or slightly more.

I realize there are people with more important matters that can use money, and I truly hope they receive charity just as I would like to. However this is a petition for those who understand what it is like to let the perfect one get away and could do little or nothing about it, like a child who drops their ice cream off the cone and sadly watches as it melts on the side walk. By donating to this cause, you can be the "adult" who walks up to that kid, fumbles in his pocket for some spare change to present that poor kid with a new ice cream that takes the tears from their eyes. She is my ice cream, and I don't want another flavor for my whole life. You can help make this possible, by aiding me with an airline ticket, or even check out the ITTO website and if you feel generous enough and pay the tuition of the program. I would be more than happy to correspond with each and every donor to update you on this story with letters and even pictures of what became of your generosity.

I'd like to thank any donors in advance, as well as any one who took the time to read my story and had it in their heart to give but wasn't able. Together we can prove that there is a such things as second chances at a good thing, chivalry is certainly not dead, and love stories aren't just for the story books, in fact...it can happen to you!

Thanks and warm regards,

James McDonald
