just a little goes a long way
Posted by mazinme on 2012-02-28 11:58:38
All these are worthy of donations and if I were able to I would donate to them myself, however I am not and have instead found myself having to sign up to a web site basically begging for kind strangers to donate, even the smallest of change, to be able to turn my life back around.
I won't bore you with the details of my long struggles as im sure we have all been there at some point (long and drawn out 'woe-is-me' emails written on request) however, what i will say is that after throwing myself into the world of work at 16 I gained as much life experience and qualifications as I possibly could and worked my little toosh off all the way.
After educating myself as a Photographer and Lithographer throught the RAF (leaving to get married and have a child) I then went on to realise that living with an alcoholic was not so good 4 either my baby or I, so took the brave steps to leave.
I then put myself thought an apprentiship as a mechanic and loved it! However I found it very difficult to spend quality time with my child during the holidays so managed to get a job in a school, which was perfect, then when an abusive relationship led 2 my son and I becoming homeless I had to do what was best for my child and let him go to live with his reformed dad 200 miles away :(
I then went back to what I love, mechanics, as I tried to get my life back on track however work has dried up and just after xmas I was laid off so here I sit as a single 30 yr old with qualifications galore, unemployed!
Ok depressing prologue over and i will cut straight to it.
I am now trying to make a future that will make my life and my contact with my son (every third weekend and all holidays) easier, I am trying to re train as a mechanics teacher, however the hurdle I have come accross (I really should apply to the olympics with all this hurdle trainging I've had) is that the course is going to cost £6,000 and I will only get help towards half, now this is a little bit of an issue as I dont know anyone that could manage to find £3000 in change down the side of their sofa, so I am apllying to the masses, I am just asking for a whole lot of people to donate just a little bit so I could get sorted please.
I may not be the most in need and I may not have a heart wrenching story but I am honest and I am a nice person who is sick of those that dont have any morals always coming out on top, just for once I'd like the good person to win (more specifically me really lol) so if you could spare anything I would truly be so very grateful :) Thank you if you made it this far :) xx
Just a little help please

All these are worthy of donations and if I were able to I would donate to them myself, however I am not and have instead found myself, after a very long series of misfortunate events (mainly starting with stupidly marrying an alcoholic, thank heavens for divorce), having to sign up to a web site basically begging for kind strangers to donate, even the smallest of change, to be able to turn my life back around.
I won't bore you with the details of my long struggles as im sure we have all been there at some point (long and drawn out 'woe-is-me' emails written on request) however, what i will say is that after throwing myself into the world of work at 16 I gained as much life experience and qualifications as I possibly could and worked my little toosh off all the way.
I come from a family of workers and it is in my blood, however, after educating myself as a Photographer and Lithographer throught the RAF (leaving to get married and have a child) I then went on to realise that living with an alcoholic was not so good 4 either my baby or I, so took the brave steps to leave.
Setting myself and my child up on our own, I then went and re trained putting myself through an apprentiship as a mechanic and loved it! However I found it very difficult to spend quality time with my child during the holidays so managed to get a job in a school, which was perfect, then when an abusive relationship led 2 my son and I becoming homeless I had to do what was best for my child (and most definately not best for me)I let him go to live with his reformed dad 200 miles away :(
I then went back to what I love, mechanics, as I tried to get my life back on track however work has dried up and just after xmas I was laid off so here I sit as a single 30 yr old with qualifications galore, unemployed!

end of the tunnel. I never could have envisioned being in the current
situation that I find myself in. Let me explain...My wife and I have been
married for 20 years and are raising 2 kids, a boy and a girl, both
teenagers. We always thought we were doing a good job at parenting...you
know, instilling laughter and family, morals and virtue, dignity and self
worth, etc. We just reached our 50's and were looking forward to possibly
traveling and spending some time together once the kids left the nest.
However, all that came to a screeching halt last year when our daughter
informed us that she was with child.(She was only 15 at the time!) KABOOOOM!
Talk about devastation. To add insult to injury, the young man and his
family went so far as to deny acknowledgement of the baby for the first six
months of his life, and to this date, (he's 10 months old) have not
contributed a dime to the babies welfare. To compound the injury, I was laid
off from work three months after his birth.
Needless to say, it has taken a tremendous toll on me and my wife. We have
exhausted our savings on rent, car payments, car insurance, utility bills,
medical bills, diapers, formula etc. We can barely buy food. There are days
I don't eat, just so the rest of the family can. I don't sleep much, between
looking for work and taking care of my grandson, (he is a blessing in
disguise. He gives me the strength I need to keep going. I put him to sleep
humming Amazing Grace) I find that I am experiencing intestinal pain as well
as severe migraines at times. I think I'll chalk it up to depression and
stress.
I've served my country proudly, and was honorably discharged...a few medals,
some ribbons, presidential letters of appreciation and so forth, but when I
asked for any type of assistance from the government I get denied because I
made a few dollars more than the threshold.
It gets better...the house we were renting was sold and we were given 2
weeks to move, we robbed from Peter to pay Paul to get into our current
residence. Now we find that we may have to move again by the beginning of
the new year, which at this time is impossible to do on our own. Needless to
say, Santa won't be making any house calls this year. (Although I will do
whatever it takes to make sure my grandson has a 1st Christmas.)
All of our bills are past due, due for disconnection or have been
disconnected. There is just no way we can do it by ourselves anymore. This
is by far the hardest and most embarrassing thing I've had to do in my life
and I'm not proud of it...however, as the song says "I ain't too proud to
beg". We need desperately for a miracle to keep from being homeless. Please
help us.
They say when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Unfortunately, I ran
out of sugar. Please help us. God Bless!

made a few dollars more than the threshold.
It gets better...the house we were renting was sold and we were given 2
weeks to move, we robbed from Peter to pay Paul to get into our current
residence. Now we find that we may have to move again by the beginning of
the new year, which at this time is impossible to do on our own. Needless to
say, Santa won't be making any house calls this year. (Although I will do
whatever it takes to make sure my grandson has a 1st Christmas.)
All of our bills are past due, due for disconnection or have been
disconnected. There is just no way we can do it by ourselves anymore. This
is by far the hardest and most embarrassing thing I've had to do in my life
and I'm not proud of it...however, as the song says "I ain't too proud to
beg". We need desperately for a miracle to keep from being homeless. Please
help us.
They say when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Unfortunately, I ran
out of sugar. Please help us. God Bless!

Desperate.. at the edge.

Short of blowing my brains out, I feel as though there is no light at the
end of the tunnel. I never could have envisioned being in the current
situation that I find myself in. Let me explain...My wife and I have been
married for 20 years and are raising 2 kids, a boy and a girl, both
teenagers. We always thought we were doing a good job at parenting...you
know, instilling laughter and family, morals and virtue, dignity and self
worth, etc. We just reached our 50's and were looking forward to possibly
traveling and spending some time together once the kids left the nest.
However, all that came to a screeching halt last year when our daughter
informed us that she was with child.(She was only 15 at the time!) KABOOOOM!
Talk about devastation. To add insult to injury, the young man and his
family went so far as to deny acknowledgement of the baby for the first six
months of his life, and to this date, (he's 10 months old) have not
contributed a dime to the babies welfare. To compound the injury, I was laid
off from work three months after his birth.
Needless to say, it has taken a tremendous toll on me and my wife. We have
exhausted our savings on rent, car payments, car insurance, utility bills,
medical bills, diapers, formula etc. We can barely buy food. There are days
I don't eat, just so the rest of the family can. I don't sleep much, between
looking for work and taking care of my grandson, (he is a blessing in
disguise. He gives me the strength I need to keep going. I put him to sleep
humming Amazing Grace) I find that I am experiencing intestinal pain as well
as severe migraines at times. I think I'll chalk it up to depression and
stress.
I've served my country proudly, and was honorably discharged...a few medals,
some ribbons, presidential letters of appreciation and so forth, but when I
asked for any type of assistance from the government I get denied because I
made a few dollars more than the threshold.

Educated Single-Mother Who Can Hardly Afford to Work
Posted by sfgymnast76 on 2011-06-12 23:58:24
It's truly disheartening that I cannot survive on a single income alone, working full-time in advertising/marketing for our local newspaper. I thought I was doing everything right. Where did I go wrong? I left my son's father when he was an infant because he was unfaithful to me several times. It was not a conducive or healthy environment for me or my son. Since then, his father has been absent from his life for over 5 years. Not one phone call. Not one visit. No birthday presents. No cards. No money to help with expenses. Nothing. We can handle his absence because I have several positive male role models who have taken my son under their wings. He is a very well-grounded young man and has strong morals, values, and integrity.
With that said, I am the only financial support for him and I and pay all the bills, insurance, etc. and often have my wages garnished because I have had a difficult time paying for a couple ER visits (my son has asthma and was hospitalized with pneumonia) even with my insurance. I feel as if I can't get a break even though I try to do good.
My son is almost 9-yrs old and has been taking Suzuki violin lessons (paid for by a family friend) for the past year and a half. He is also my budding electrician/engineer...and creates incredible inventions with his circuit boards, wires, LEDs & motors that he digs out of old electronics. He attends the Robot Club at the local high school...and the older kids accept him even though he is their youngest member. =) He has an extremely bright future & I am so proud of him. However, it is a constant struggle everyday for me to put on a smile because we are so far in debt. I owe $2500 to the IRS for a supposed error on my 2009 tax return (disagree...but can't afford an attorney to fight it), $800 hospital bills, $3000 from other creditors from credit cards I had when I was 20 (I'm 35 now). I pay $300/month for daycare, household bills, car payment, etc. I am a good person & have a heart of gold. I want to remain a good role-model for my son so he is proud of me. I do not want to have to resort to relying on governmental assistance. I just wish we could survive on my income. It would be feasable if these bills were paid. Please help us. Any size donation would be an absolute blessing!! We need some financial assistance to get us back on our feet again. We're going through an extremely rough time & any gift would help. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
Best Regards,
Family needs help with medical debt!!

In 2005 my family won the visa lottery. The U.S Government approves a limited number of visas every year to foreign nationals. My son has a medical condition for about 9 years now, alopecia areata. The capillary hair left his head in chunks, now being completely bold. I refer to him as he due to a full array of bulling issues encountered in the past and perhaps still possible in the future. He is not growing hair on the head anymore. As a child he dealt with it, however the culture shock and the new school environment were adding extra pressure on his already tormented psychic.
He is fine now due to prednisone infiltration by Dr. S., a great practitioner with one of the best Dermatology Clinics in Nevada. It was not easy and I had to start working 2 jobs during the day and the night shift on weekends as a cashier in Century 21 Theaters.
From 2006 to 2007, I applied with over 200 companies, made phone calls day and night trying to get employment. As 2007 started things got better and I was happy with even extremely low paid jobs I held. My son was getting the right treatment and that was everything I cared at the time. I never applied or accepted any help from any governmental sources, used only the temporary work I got.
The financial situation I was in had a deep impact on our morals and still, we kept high hopes about everything that surrounds us. It was a time not too long ago that made me realize that I do need help and canâÃÂÃÂt push this anymore. My mother passed away overseas and I could not even travel to see her or say my last good bye. My father is alone, old and I really would like to see him if I could. We still carry around 20K in debt, a dragging debt that became unbearable. We both have limited jobs that keep us alive but never allow the dream we chased here. We make all ends meet paycheck to paycheck with less than a hundred left as extra per month.
I am open an honest, I feel exhausted by this ride and hope that if this debt would be paid back everything will be much better for us. I had over 80K to pay back and did with great sacrifices and tears. I refused bankruptcy or debt settlement as I knew that karma will return. I am grateful for the good that happen in my life and I just want to be able to pay back the remainder and move on. Thank you for reading, understanding and all the help send our way. I will make sure to pay it forward in due time. Thank you.
