If I don`t get some help with some money for food , bills and just daily living to help me get back up on my feet I`m so scared for my family and I & everything I fought for for years will be for nothing . I am down to some days choosing breakfast lunch or dinner or a roll of toilet paper or gas in my car to get my children to school and am I going to have enough to get them back home . Things have got that bad . Look , I have tried my very best all I have ever wanted was a home . I and had my first child at 16 . I am still married to the same man today. We went on to have 4 children . My last two are still at home they both were born with disability`s . We always loved them and taken care of them . My husband always worked was a great worker and provider until 12 years ago when he was in a near fatal wreck and ran off a mountain in Georgia . He tried to go back but , couldn`t After years of many , many hospital stays and therapy 7 years ago he was well enough to stay with the 2 children for me to go to work full time only 3 years ago Surprise . I had to have emergency open heart surgery with another surgery 1 month later then a lung collapse soon after that . I did go back to work but , everything went down hill after that . I kept fighting and struggling until I had to give up in Jan 2012 . I `m waiting to see if I can get approved for my long term disability that I have paid in these 7 years but they say it may be July IF they carry me . So right now I`m in dire straights . I have done all this on my own . I DON`T KNOW THAT THINGS CAN GET WORSE . But , I never know anything from day to day . I never in a million years thought I would have to ask anyone for help much less online . I`m a private person and I feel embarrassed to have to do this but , a lot of times in your life you have to humble yourself . I thought about it and I saw and read about George Zimmerman we all know who that is he gets to kill someone a kid shoot them in the back not get arrested then set up a sight and get over 200,000 and when they do arrest him claim he has zero money . You know something is wrong with this picture . The parents of the child should get that but , that's not my call. because I need to understand just like me people did open their hearts and even thought people like him needed help .I`m not the one to judge . I just need to get out of a hole . I just need some compassion . I need to be able to get ahead and really be able to go and buy shampoo , soap , soap powders , food , gas , and pay some bills and get what is necessary to be able to continue to live a regular just a simple life and my children or husband won`t have to suffer or worry until I can get my long term disability started .
Thank you for reading my story and Thank you for any little gift you may be able to give . If you can`t give I understand to I know times are really , really hard . But , would you maybe say a little prayer for us ?
Thanks & Bless you .

Dear Sir/Madam
Greetings, Me and my family are farmers located in one of the most remote and rugged regions of Himalayas in India where there are no access to roads or transportations. Our home and fields are situated over the mountain approx. 3500 feet above sea level where the weather is unpredictable which makes farming very hard and life unbearable. All the farm work is done manually by hand by the members of my family. We normally grow garlic in small quantities which we sell to sustain the family for a whole year. As there are no access to roads we have to carry the loads on our backs at times 50 to 80 KG to access the nearest road which is couple of hours down the mountain and is a back breaking process. Even to get small food items we have to be going through this exercise everyday for our survival. Our everyday diet consist of five or six rotis (wheat flour and water mixed and roasted like a pancake) with mostly dal (gravy made out of pulse) with occasional rice two times a day. At times we collect wild vegetables from nearby forest to supplement our diet. Because of lack of nutrition our health conditions also suffer many times in a year. Here even today babies are born in the house. Birth is supervised by one of the older village woman as there are no doctors or any qualified medical people. In cases of emergency we have to carry the patient on our back to the road and any medical attention can be gotten 15 kms further down the road. This has resulted in many deaths in past years with young and old.
Since last two years due to changing weather conditions and untimely rainfall our fields could not yield crops properly. We are poor farmers just scrapping through life trying to stay alive. Added to these problems last year three of my family members one of whom is a six month old baby had deteriorating health conditions which needed hospitalisation and medicines which cost us major portion of the money we could earn by selling our crop. Normally we earn about 50,000 INR in a year by selling garlic and we grow small quantities of wheat and corn enough to keep the family through the year. Due to these sufferings and extra expenditure am now in great distress to be even able to buy seeds to grow crop in our field to sustain ourselves. To have one morsel of food has become a nightmare for all of us and we are nine members in the family with two small babies of 8 months and two years. The future of our survival looks very bleak given the conditions and lack of health and finance to tend the field.
I would be highly grateful if your goodselves would consider me and my family a worthy cause to extend your help to us with 5000 USD which I can use to buy necessary seeds for the crops, few essential medications, a mule for transportation, fix the leaking roof of our home, do little maintenance to our field for yielding more crop and get me, my family andour field back on track as our field is the only source of our survival. My family consist of myself, my sick wife, two sons and two daughters, 2 small babies and a daughter in law. I can provide you with my family snap, address and bank account details upon your heart permitting to help me as whatever I have stated above is genuine and true. Me and my family are seeking this help not because we are lazy but because of protracted and extreme conditions beyond our control which we have been facing since two years continuously under the circumstances outlined above. We need a helping hand to get back on our feet again as your generosity would go a long way in alleviating the sufferings of my family and bring life back into our lives.
Awaiting your kindness and response.
Warm Regards

Negi

We have lived on the Shanandoah mountain for about two years. We found a house cheaper than our three bedroom condo we did have in manassas. Which was a little over a thousand a month. Our three bedroom house now on the mountain is exactly a thousand a mth. Our ultilities aren't rediculous. In febuary my husband lost his job. He made good money. I was just finishing up suceeding CDL endorsment classes. Etc. To become a school bus driver. Which has been the only job for me that's come my way in a year. We absolutely love the schools here. Which my three children are in each this year. Thankfully my husband has qualified for unemployment. The state is helping us with food and medical insurance. We allready surrendered our economical car. Then our only vehicle motor blew up two weeks ago. My husband is great at fixing vehicles. We just don't have the money to do so. He wants to go to an auction because he's not for sure about putting a lot of money into our vehicle. Allthough at the same time. We are behind on our rent. Thankfully we are truely blessed with a patient and very understanding landlord. My husband has been fixing up things that have been going wrong with the house since he's been out of work. He and I both have a good chance at jobs. We just don't have a way to them now. Its mind boggling for the both of us. We only have our cell phones for internet. Fortunately our close friend is letting us use his truck that my husband fixed for him recently to use to get our kids to and from busstop morning and afternoon. This truck though isn't legal. Please send your prayers for us at most. Help

Not quite sure how to start this but here goes..... I am a 24 year old mother of a beautiful 2 year old boy. We live in England and really need some help. My partner is a bus driver and works 50+ hours a week. He gets a ton of abuse and gets threatened on a weekly basis but does it to try and provide for his family. I work in retail as much as i can whilst juggling my son. We are both committed to working as we want to show our son good work ethics. My Dad committed suicide in 2009 and from then on our financial situation has got increasingly worse. Whilst tryin to support our own little family we are also having to support my Mum who is depressed and stuggling to cope financially. For anyone who has been there I'm sure you can understand how hard this is.
We now have a mountain of debt which we need to try and pay back whilst still paying our rent, bills and supporting my Mum.
If anyone can help us out of this awful situation we would be eternally grateful. Thankyou for taking the time to read this.

I will not give you a pity part or a sob story, bu.  I am not sure even how to begin.  This year I have felt like I have been tested to see how strong I am.  It seems that no matter how positive I try to be and climb the mountain. I just about get to the top and then lose my footing and fall face first to the bottom.  Although I have many scrapes and bruises I still get up and try again.  Lately though I am tired and feel like I have no strength to hold on anymore. I am asking if you could donate even a little to help me with this indeavor as I climb back up the mountain and over the top. I hate this feeling of desperation but unfortunately it is where I am.

My wife, two kids and I are lucky to still have a house over our heads. For now that is. We are overwhelmed, as many are these days, with a mountain of debt that is never-ending. We will never see the light of day without help. Our story is not unusual but we ask for your help to begin digging out of this hole. Anything would help! Please do what you can if you are able! Thank you and God bless.

I have been unemployed for two years following my graduation. I have been looking but it has been very hard in this economy. I desperately need help in repaying my loans so that I can put what seems right now to be a mistake in education and get on with my life working as a serf in retail or some other blue collar function that won't pay and has nothing to do with my education, though it will provide a full time job. Alternatively, with loans out of the way I might actually be able to take the jobs in my field that don't pay well and indeed pay less that I would be paid if I had never gone. At this point I am looking at a mountain of debt, broken promises and failed dreams. Can you help me get free of that mountain? I have nearly 100k in student debt between tuition, books, and interest on the loans. I graduated with a 3.8 so I am good at what I want to do, I just haven't found an opportunity that will allow me to both healthfully survive and pay my monthly loan bill.

Please help a struggling student trying to take control of student loans and be in control of life once again. We all want the American dream of owning a home with a white picket fence in the suburbs, while raising a family comfortably. We are told throughout high school and in almost every aspect of society (i.e. television commercials and bill boards) that the only way to achieve this dream is to go to school and earn a degree. Well long story short, while trying to grab my piece of apple pie I acquired an enormous mountain of debt (to the tune of 34K). I was also forced to leave the college that I was attending after just one year because tuition became just too expensive! This debt has followed me like a dark cloud and has become a burden to my young life. Even though the thought of having such a large amount of debt at such a young age is stressful I have continued to keep trying. I have not let it stop me, but it has tremendously slowed my pace to achieve my dream. I’m currently enrolled in junior college but due to the fact I am solely dependent on financial aid my journey is a rough one. I have tried to pay on these loans but with little to no experience my job pool is more like a puddle. The money that I made was just not enough and I feel that I’m in deep trouble. So if you’re reading this please find it in your heart to help a student in need of a fighting chance against my battle with student loans. I’m not asking for much anything will help me win this fight.
Thank you-
Struggling Student

My name is Erin i am six and a half months pregnant and doing it all alone. In November when I have the baby I will be off work a minimum of 6 weeks. I am so scared of the mountain of bills that I will incur. My electricity and my mortgage will shurly not be any different and I now I will never catch up since I live tight as is. I bought my house at 21 and felt like I owned the world. Now I see it all falling apart with no other option for me and my soon to be here son. I am in need of some assistance to be sure his birth doesn't cause me to lose everything. This is my first child and would appreciate any assistance available. Thank you soo much.

Hello! I'm a mom of two lovely girls, whom I put through college right before the economy got bad. I'm a nurse, and work full time or more per week, even though I'm technically retirement age. After the economy collapsed, I had to take a lower paying nursing job helping babies that were born too early. Unfortunately, I am now behind on paying the huge mountain of college bills. It's affecting my credit, and I feel awful for having to ask for help, but I DO work for a living, and if I can get help to pay for these college bills I'll be in better shape to pay all my other bills like electric, and fix my ceiling. Thank you very much for anything extra you happen to have.

Not the most dramatic plea. Not the longest,

I am a single mum struggling to feed her 10year old daughter I am hanging on a thread trying to keep a roof over our heads but to be honest I am not too sure how much longer I can hang on.

I have a mountain of debt that I also can afford to pay off and I am fearful that we will end up on the streets.

Any financial assistance no matter how great or small would be most appreciated.

May god bless you always.

Thank you

If you are reading this keep reading, please. Maybe God sent you to me. I am going to be attending medical school in Colorado at the end of July. I taught high school math and science for six years prior. Nonetheless, all of my savings was spent going back to school so that I could attend medical school. Not an easy mountain to climb but I am near the peak and I ask that you help me make it to the top! My school is still going through the accreditation process and so I cannot take out federal aid. I cannot find a cosigner for my private student loan either. I need $20000 for this semester. I would love to share more of my story with you...

Hello,
I hope you can help, in Nov. of '07 I got injured in an accident and had to quit working for a while, and then in May of '09 my wife was diagnosed with melanoma/lymphoma cancer and had to have three surgeries. she then became disabled and we were able to get a little relief from SSI.
Even with that it was not enough but we were just barely getting by paying the electric and water bills, but not the rent, so I found a part time job (I am still looking for full time work)that helped a little, but still not enough.
Then in Oct of '10 we were told that she had about six months to live and things became really dismal for us as the bills kept piling up and her health was declining rapidly. We stopped trying to pay the medical bills and concentrated on just paying for her drugs for pain and suffering.
Then on Feb. 13th this year she passed away at the age of 49, a week and a day short of her birthday. That makes my situation even worse, by her passing, the cost of the cremation was close to $1200.00 and the SSI that we were getting stopped, leaving me with a mountain of unpaid bills and no full time work available in the area.
I have sold just about everything of any value to try and keep the water turned on, but I haven't had electricity since the first week of March. With my part time job and the odd jobs I do for my neighbors, when I can get them, I am able to keep some food in the house and some gas in the car, but with gas prices at almost $4.00 a gallon, I can't even get enough ahead to pay the deposit that the electric co. wants to turn the lights on.
So here I am, this is my situation, I am seriously in debt to the tune of about $85,000.00 in medical bills and back rent, my car is a P.O.S. but at least I can keep it running with a little bailing wire and bubblegum, the landlord is chomping at my heels for money that I don't have, cold showers really suck because the water heater is electric, and I am just about to my wits end, and I think I am too chicken to commit suicide to end my short term troubles with a long term solution. I really hope that there is someone out there that can help me out. May God bless you and keep you.
Thank You,
Steve
P.S. I would like to donate the $9.95 to showcase my story, but I can't afford that because my checking account is overdrawn by $425.75 for the last two months.
Thanks anyway,
Steve

Ladies and Gentlemen: I would like to build several alpine shelters for tourists. Also, I would like to set-up small water captions - somewhere in the mountains from my country.

There are many mineral springs in the area where I live. Most of them have proven therapeutic properties. Unfortunately, they have been abandoned by the local authorities.

I cured myself from a stomach disease after I sistematically drunk water from such a spring! I would like to help others to become healthy, too.

The problem is that the springs are located in remote, difficult to reach areas. I need money to clean up the mountain paths, to pay the construction materials, to transport them up on the mountains, to pay my co-workers, to pay the tools, plus the shelters' endowment, and to acquit countless other smaller expenses.

If I want the job to be done properly, I would have to spend tenths of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, I do not have such an amount. But I have the will to work hard; and the determination to live in harsh conditions, for several months, in order to materialise my dream.

Any amount you can offer me, it would be welcomed.

At the donor's express wish, I can inlay his/her name on a stainless steel plate, accompanied by the following words: "Spring caption made with the invaluable help of Mr/Mrs [your name]. Please say a small prayer, for your benefactor, before drinking from this water."

I thank you for your generosity.-

I am a small farmer. I am having a small agriculture land on the top of the mountain among other farmers. It’s impossible to take agriculture equipments and bullocks on the top of the mountain for farming, as we don’t have path to go. So unfortunately I and some other poor farmers climb the mountain with the help of rope to go on the top of the mountain to prepare land.

I use to prepare my land with my own hands without any instruments for the next rainy season. But now a days our rope through which we climb the mountain is been robbed by robbers, so it’s been very hard to climb the mountain. We don’t have money so that we can build a path to take bullocks and equipments on the top of the mountain.

Even we don’t have equipments, bullock and money for farming. How can we climb the mountain is the main concern now. So I kindly request you please, please help us in the form of your contributions. No matter how small is your contribution but please help me and those farmers who are going through the hardship. With your contributed money we can create a path to go on the top of the mountain and buy instruments and bullocks for farming.

So please save our poor farmers life. God will give you 10 times more than that, what you will contribute to us. Thanks for reading our request.

There's a reason that those asking for help are described as "crying."

As a husband and soon-to-be father, my greatest desire in the world was always to provide for my wife and family. Who could've guessed that our marriage, ill-timed to coincide with the collapse of the US economy, would signal such a sharp downward fall?

My wife struggled in vain to find a job, and so did I. Our wedding money, intended to tide us over until we were on our feet, was instead drained completely to fund a year and change of fruitless job hunting from our tiny but expensive apartment.

Now, here we are, living in shame with my inlaws as we struggle to climb back up. It will take at least 8-9 thousand dollars to even put us back ahead. A joyful time in my life--my expectation of becoming a father--has turned into dread and humiliation at the mountain of debt I need to overcome to even begin putting away again.

I look into my wife's eyes, and I just want to shower her with gifts, jewelry, and all the best things the world can offer. But I can't. Her past birthday featured a gift of candy bars and a card, purchased through an old Target gift card I still had in my wallet. How can cold words on the internet ever encapsulate the crushing pain of knowing that you can't provide, and that the hope and promise of a young marriage has been irrevocably destroyed?

And so I cry for help, with genuine tears. I'm forced to turn to complete strangers on the street for gas money, and to the internet for help.

Please, if you are another kind soul out there reading this, try to look past the text. Try to cut through your jaded view of Nigerian scammers and internet opportunists. Try to read my words and feel the pain behind them; try to imagine it was you.

Try to help.

Hard times are a fact of life but it seems that during the past year I have gotten more than my fair share.
To begin with, my wife of 11 years told me that she wanted a divorce. I knew that we had our problems but guess I always that we would be able to work it out. To make a long story short, she went home to her parents and left me with a mountain of credit card debt. Most of witch I wasn't even aware of. Not to mention, the house, land, and car payments. Although it was a heavy blow when she left I thought that as long as I was able to work I would be able to get out of debt and move on with my life.
That hope soon faded when after 20 years with the same company I was laid off. I get unemployment but that is roughly half of what I was making when working full time and these bills are just eating it up faster than I get it. I am looking for work and I do get temporary work now and then but nothing permanent yet.
I am Drowning in debt and need any help that I can get.
I would be very grateful to anyone who could help me get back on the road to recovery.
