My name is Rocky, I'm a 20 year old full-time college student living alone with a kitten, enrolled at North Lake College in Irving, Texas.

I'm relying solely on Financial Aid to survive right now, as I cannot find a job anywhere that is willing to hire a full-time student.

Out of the four classes I took this semester, I failed one. I spent a lot of time just looking for a job, as a result, that cut heavily into my study time.

I have an outstanding medical bill, and I unfortunately received my first-ever speeding ticket today- both I most likely will not be able to pay off anytime soon.

I'm seeking help from anyone I can possibly receive it from. Anything from donations, to even any jobs you may have for me in my local area will benefit me. If there are any positions you can hire me for, please do tell me.

Thanks in advance. - Rocky

I'm from Scarborough, North Yorkshire. I will do ANYTHING for money. Literally anything if it pays. I'm not asking for money or anything like that, only work.

Hi,
Many thanks for reading my post. Many thanks for being a person who cares for others and gives. I am not sure how to describe my situation. I have been struggling to find work in the last two years and have had a couple of sporadic jobs. I have not been able to keep or grow these small jobs into something stable.

Even though the economy is weak I feel that I am the reason this has not worked out. I am a quiet spiritual person who is devoted to living my life honestly, kindly and compassionatly. My true north is spiritual and I have been trying to fit into a western material lifestyle to support my spiritual growth.

Deep inside that is where my focus is all of time. This is what I am drawn too and I practice and use everything in my life for spiritual growth. I have been thinking of spending a year meditating. I have thoughts of either ordaining or being a spiritual teacher. I would love to share the spiritual life for free to others who would like more peace in their lives.

What would help me in this process is a financial support to be able to meditate and practice for a year in India, and any advice form someone who has done something similar. I am a 49 year old female, in good health, and I have been a sincere aspirant since 2001.

Thanks for this site and for the visitors who help.

I have been invited by the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) to play in the World Championships this year. I am currently registered but now I am worried about not having enough money to make it there. The tournament is in North Carolina and I am from Michigan. This is the first year that I have been invited and would be devastated if a lack of funds prevented me from playing.

My husband has been out of a job for over a year now and we've been struggling to pay mortgage and electric enough as is. I work full time but it's not easy to live off one income. Until he finds a job, for which he is constantly searching, I don't have any extra money in my budget for extras like tournaments but this is such a great opportunity for me.

I need all the help I can get and every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated! I am going to be fundraising locally to help cover the cost of hotel accommodations.

Help support women in disc golf!

My situation is more complicated than I can explain, however I ended up as a single parent despite having been married and never expecting this circumstance. In brief, my husband experienced the onset of severe, debilitating mental illness and made several suicide attempts before we split up and my daughter and I have been alone since the last twenty years. I worked hard and partially succeeded in raising my daughter alone but during the last twenty years I became ill. My husband's family want little to do with us and do not provide us with any support. My daughter is trying to get through post secondary education and I am hoping that the economy will be improving but meanwhile I cannot pay the bills because my hours were cut. My own father is in a nursing home, he has no money to speak of, my mother died last year, and my husband's family will not help us despite their own wealth. We want desperately to become more independent but do not want to rip anyone off. If you are interested in my cause let me know. If everyone who read my message gave only a single dollar, imagine how much good it might do? We want to be able to buy a home so that we can put a stop to these high rent payments we make. A mortgage, based on my work history, would be less expensive. It sounds unreal but we live in Vancouver and want to stay here if possible for work and school. We have been here for a long time. Please let me know if you want to help us make some dreams come true. If you do, then I can provide you with more information to make donations and more details on our lives and how your donations are helping us. I know that we do not live a third world lifestyle but many people are unaware of how quickly homelessness can happen in North America due to lack of family support, which is our problem. Please find it in your heart to help us.

Long story short.. my father passed away in 2010 and with tht money i got an apartment in north carolina... not even a month there i was home invaded and robbed... then i found out my job wasn't going to transfer me... i was traumatized by what happened and didn't feel safe with my kids so I came to NY to stay with my gram for a few months. Unfortunately we don't get a long n she doesn't have money to help us move. I was going to go back down to my apartment in NC but found out it was robbed again and my furniture and my kids clothes are gone. The landlady then said I abandoned my apartment(which I didn't). So now I found an apartment but I have no money to put down on the deposit and first months rent. If anyone can help change my bad luck, please help.

I'm a sophomore in college in North Carolina. I have 3.7 GPA but still do not get nearly enough financial aid to cover my costs for school. I work part time as a waitress, but the money I earn is used for groceries and bills. Both of my parents have drug issues and I have lived with my grandparents since I was about 7 but they barely can afford to take care of themselves, let alone myself and my brother. I am a hard working person. I worked very hard to get into college. I hope this isn't my last year. I would like to make something out of myself. All donations are greatly appreciated. If you would like , I will send anyone that donates a picture of myself and my diploma when I graduate. Thank you so so much.

Hello, I live in the north of England. Many years ago I got myself in an awful lot of debt(my own fault i know), I am currently paying this off but it will take me about 15 years to pay off, the payments I have to make leave me with absolutely nothing at the end of each month,in October 2009 our boiler broke and we have no chance of affording a new one, therefore we have no heating and to have a bath we have to make endless trips with the kettle, we have 2 children aged 4 and 8 and feel awful that they have to live this way. me and my wife both work with me leaving the house at 3 am and getting home at 5pm 6 days a week. My family and I would be so grateful if anyone could spare even a few pence just so we can start to build a fund to get a new boiler.

Hello, I am a retired US Army soldier, who is trying to start up my own business. I am a Single father of two teenagers, and my retirement covers the house payment, family bills, and the needs for the kids, with not much left over to start a business. I am seeking $35,000 to start a Drivers Ed Acadamy in my home town where I grew up and know most of the local parents, and students by way of my kids. The business would be a success due to the reason that I am well known in the area, I plan to charge $50 less than current prices, and parents currently need to drive students 25 miles north or south for the current available schools. I am doing this not only for myself, as I have an income, but to be able to pass this on to my children at some point, and to provide a much needed service to my community.

I am currently involved with 3 veteran organizations, being the Commander at one, and an officer at a second. I am heavily involved in the community and wish to do this for that reason, as well as provide for my family's future at the same time.

Already used the VA Loan to buy my house, no help there.

Thank you for the interest, and thank you VERY much if you have donated.

Future Drivers Ed Instructor.

Reason I am looking for a partner at this point, I am from Washington DC, in which I have a site call ok2bbi.com , I got up one night out of my sleep and said this is what I am going to do, open a clubhouse for Lesbian & Bisexual women, so I did my research in DC the results was great I mean these women want this clubhouse and was ready to signup, so at that time i went to look for retail space to host this clubhouse, but the retail down north was way out of my budget so the first thing I thought was do the test in Atlanta, and the results was even better then DC... so here I go again looking for retail space in Atlanta area, I did not want the heart of Atlanta so I did Norcross and the retail space was cut in half ... so I told Atlanta if I can get 100 of you signup I will have a clubhouse open for you on Nov 1st, which 200 signup and I had a clubhouse open for then Nov 5th .. so I kept my word ... once I open my doors no one was on the other side ...

Hello, I found myself in a bad spot. I have a 12 week old baby and we just moved to Arkansas from North Carolina in Sept of 2011 because of Hurricane Irene. My car made the drive here and we have been doing ok, I have a place to stay now and working and paying the bills, but now my car broke down and I did find someone who can fix my car but it will cost about 900 dollars to fix, but I dont have that kind of money and I dont have anyone I can turn to, to ask for help. I need to have my car because my baby has shots and dr appointments as well as myself have dr appointments. Any help would be great!

I moved here 2 years ago from a small town to start over after a failed marriage. Tried initially to keep the kids with me but couldn't pay daycare and refused to leave them alone. They went back with their dad, who is a good dad even if he wasn't a very good husband. Found a mediocre nursing school whose only appeal was the lack of a 2-year waiting list, and set out to achieve the dream I'd been trying to since 20 years ago, when my son was abducted and I dropped out of RN school in the emotional firestorm that ensued for my remaining son and I. I found him alive 2 weeks after graduating, living with his father up north. Now I graduated, working as a CNA, driving 40 miles each way for work, and barely surviving. My situation is this. I want to be reunited with my children, including my oldest who lives up in Colorado with my first grandchild, who I have never met. And I haven't seen him since 2009. I've got school bills, student loan bills, my phone (lifeline to find another job, which I'm trying so hard to do), and car insurance. That's serious business in Texas, folks-car insurance. Anyway it's only 47 a month but I still can't afford it this month. Phone, likewise. During the two weeks between my CNA pay (probably 5-600) and the next two weeks when I'm praying to god I'll pick up some overtime and maybe even get my graduate license going online, I've got not enough for gas and food after paying for the studio I'm in. Didn't want a year lease because my dream is to live near the people I love most in the world, and to finally see the sweet face of my son, who has been missing since he was 2 and a half years old. I'm strapped, sad, feel desperate and feel like crying all the time. Can't get public assistance because I've got a job and the kids don't live with me, even though I'm sending what I can, as I can, to their dad. Part of my survival issues-catch 22 that if you send money, you don't have it to pay to visit or have them visit. My heart feels like it's breaking all the time and I try to keep a smile for these sweet little old people I take care of at work..not easy. 4 or 500 would wrap it up, and you give me your email, I'll either give it back to you or to another person who needs it, and prove it with documentation. I think in 3 or 4 weeks things may be different, after the graduate license becomes active and I can schedule my exam and work as a graduate. Until then, God bless us all and I remain faithful and steadfast, if shaken..
Thanks for listening

I'm an unemployed Army veteran and I'm living from hand to mouth. It would be lovely if I had people visit my business to generate Christmas money for me. I don't want to have a poor Christmas for my son and grandson. I would like to give a good Christmas this year. Please visit http://www.officialnorthpolemail.com/share.php?xyz=120 and purchase personalized and customized official mail from the North Pole. I think any child would love to receive a letter from Santa. Please purchase a personal letter for your kids or grandkids or donate money if you can. Several years ago, I went to the Salvation Army for Christmas and they ran out of stuff for my teenage son. We had a bad Christmas that year and hardly any food. It was rough. I would appreciate the gesture. God bless you.

I met my wife in October of 2001 at a Mexican restaurant when we both lived in Mesa, Arizona. It was love at first sight; I knew she was the only one for me. And I was bold enough to ask her to marry me just 6 hours after we met. She is my cheerleader and keeps me going, even on my worse days. She persists until she can make me laugh. We were married March of 2003 and have been together everyday since. We volunteered in pet rescue adopts, Pat Tillman walks, Cancer and Alzheimer walks. Like most people in these times of struggle, have lost our jobs and place to live while in Arizona. We took a few belongings packed into boxes and our 2 cats. We spent our last dime to drive back to Michigan and be with family.

The plan was to live with my wife's parents, while we rebuild our finances and get out on our own again. However, that plan crashed and burned within one week of being there. The step-father decided he changed his mind about the whole thing and asked us to leave. Fortunately, my sister and her husband also lived in Michigan and took us in. It was to be for a short term as they are also struggling, but is close to becoming a year. Also during this time our car was repossessed, we picked up an almost 20 year old car cheap. My wife was lucky and was able to find a temporary work program right away and that will last until spring of 2012.

I was not so lucky; I applied to every company in a 60 mile radius. I have went between several temp jobs and no work for the last 9 months, while waiting for full-time work. Finally in August, I landed a full-time job 60 miles from home; this of course is hard on the used car we picked up and draining all our funds on gas money. We have now been told that we have to move out by November 1st of this year. The problem is that we have spent any money coming in on gas for the car to get us back to forth to work and what little is left over on food we contribute to the house.

We have been approved on an apartment very close to my job and still 25 miles to my wife's job. It is $1,200.00 just for the apartment, we also need to rent a small truck and get the boxes up north from storage and connect utilities and buy some food. We anticipate this costing us $3,000.00 to complete the goal. If we save hard and only spend money on gas and car insurance and no food we may have a 1/3 of what we need by Nov. 1st. We would still need to get a bed, couch, and table and 2 chairs to eat our meals at. That will come in time as long as we are together, I don’t care if we sleep on the floor. We have never been in need before and have prolonged asking for help. I just do not see another way and I am asking for help now. Please help us in getting the funds to move on with our lives. I am sure that once we are, things will continue to get better.

I thank you for your time in reading this. Whatever funds you can afford to donate will be forever appreciated.

It all started 5 years ago on June 17, 2006. . .a day I will remember for the rest of my life. It was the day before Fathers Day and we were driving with our 14 month old son to his grandmothers house when and SUV ran a stop sign slamming into us causing our vehicle to roll landing upside down. They say my fiance (my sons father) was partially ejected and killed instantly.

He didn't have life insurance, and since we were only engaged, there were no survivors benefits and so it was just me, my 14 month old, two dogs, and an old house built in 1927 and a laundry list of repairs that needed to be done.

After my fiance died, I think a part of me just shut down. There was so much to deal with. . .working full time, being a single parent with no support. All my family lives 6 hours away, and my fiances family never wanted anything to do with us and after the accident all communication stopped and I was alone.

So, I shut the doors to the upstairs of our two bedroom Cape Cod, and made my bed on the Living Room couch so that I could rock my son in his bouncy chair everytime he woke at night. . .on average 4 times a night.

I did the best I could over the years. During all this my Dad was a huge emotional support for me. We talked every day, he encouraged me to stay strong and I did the same for him (he was diagnosed with milodisplastic syndrome in 2005)his blood transfusions really took a toll on him and his physical weakness really depressed him. I know he worried about me alot because I would always call him for advise on how to fix things or ask him questions about car stuff. He was my rock and he died October 4, 2008 from complications with pneumonia. He was buried on his birthday October 8 when he would have been 56.

His death is still hard to handle. My rock my best friend and advisor was gone and now I realized I was truly alone. Not only did I not have anyone to help me with my son, or with the house or the car, but now I didn't have anyone I could really talk to that could just listen and be my guide.

All this happened so suddenly. My now 3 year old son and I stayed up North for a week after my Fathers death. There was a lot of planning and funeral arrangements to be made that during the midst of all this, 6 hours away in my little Cape Cod were the two dogs. . .Joe, a shepard and chow mix, and Rex, a shepard and Rotti mix left to their own devices. All I could do was pray that the damage wouldn't be too terrible.

I tried calling a neighbor to check on the dogs, but in our unexplained absence the dogs became extremely protective of the house and wouldn't let anyone it.

When we finally came home, there was definately a mess. I had to rip up all the carpet by myself the stench was horrible and the dust and dirt under the padding from 10 year old carpet caused more than one sinus infection. After a month I had all the carpet ripped up and have not been able to replace it.

After working and saving and with help from my Mom, in 2009 I was able to hire a Contractor that had been highly recommended to me by a friend of mine. He raved about how great they were and what a good job they did for him. We had a contract for about $19,000. This was to replace all the windows, replace the kitchen cabinets, new countertop, appliances, paint, everything the house needed after being neglected for over 10 years. So they came and painted and left. Six months later they came back with 5 of the 13 windows, installed the windows, but left the casements on the inside open and torn leaving exposed the Lead Paint and the original wood framing. Then in August 2009, they had the kitchen cabinets delivered to my house and they were stored outside on the porch. I called and called to find out when they would be put in, and no response. They stayed outside through the Fall and through the winter when we got three feet of snow and I called and begged and sent text messages and one day their phone number was disconnected. Then in June 2010 they called me!! They would come install the cabinets. So they came and tore out the stove and the kitchen sink and installed the cabinets and put a slab on granite down so I could have a work area and said they would be back with the stove and dishwasher and sink. They never came back. So I had kitchen cabinets and no stove, no sink, no dishwasher. Then in July, Rex, the Rotti Shepard mix got really sick. The vet said he was starting kidney failure. They kept him and did IV treatment and got his kidneys functioning and they said he need a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. I had no stove. I tried calling the contractors I yelled, I begged, I sent text messages and finally out of desparation I went and bought the cheapest stove I could just to be able to boil water for my dog.

The dog survived, but his survival was short lived. In October 2010 on the anniversary of my Fathers death, I had to put the dog to sleep. He was suffering from the samething my father had. He couldn't produce red blood cells anymore and would have to live off of blood transfusions. One of the hardest choices I've ever made.

Now here we are in 2011. Memorial Day I almost lost my now 6 year old son in a near drowning incident at a friends pool. Thank God the husband knew CPR and was able to revive him. He stayed overnight in ICU for monitoring but he is now a happy healthy 1st grader.

Me. . .I'm barely keeping it together. I can't afford to take care of my home. The carpet was never replaced and there is a horrible draft in the Winter and the Lead Paint is still exposed. The upstairs windows are leaking and there are water spots on the ceiling. There is a 4" crack in the basement foundation wall that goes all the way down the wall and across the basement floor to the other side of the house. I was told that the footing is slipping and that it was only a matter of time before the house caved. The gutters are falling off the house from age and the deck rails are falling off. I fear for our safety, but mostly, I'm afraid for my son. I want to give him a safe and healthy environment, but I need help.

Please, if there is anyone out there that can help us, I would be eternally grateful. In the meantime, I will keep praying and belive that everything happens for a reason.

Hello, My wife and I have a 9 month old baby girl Ava and we live in Alabama. Our home is being forclosed and we need to move up north to be closer to family and hopefully get jobs quickly. we have no money saved as we struggle just to buy diapers and baby food and keep the lights on. When my wife was pregnant I was transferred for work and she could not find a job as no one will hire a pregnant woman. we used all our savings and ran up 20k + in cc debt along with not being able to pay our mortgage. cc debt was just from paying bills. We have to leave our place oct 11th and are wanting to move near ohio to be closer to family and hopefully get a fresh start and jobs making more money. we are scraping to save every penny to afford the move and I fear that the move will end with us not having a dime and waiting to get a job could put us in peril. I feel like a disappointment to my family I work but dont make near enough. my wives credit is ruined and mine is well on the way. I just dont know what else to do. Im not a religious man but im beginning to think that may be a cause in our problems. Ive started praying lately and maybe god lead me here I hope . Its easy to post some words on here one might think but in reality its a last resort other than begging for money on the street. I almost tried to counterfiet money but i need to be here for my family and not behind bars but it was a serious consideration. I just want to provide for my wife and baby and ive failed. I hope someone can help. either way thanks for reading my problems and I hope if there is a god hes listening.

Well where do i start. I am 27 and am trying to move cross country. I was working very hard to get by (I currently live in an affluent collage town called Chapel Hill.) and trying to save up to move. I was doing pretty good, got enough to get a dependable car after not having motorized transportation for like 5 years and was saving the moving costs to get to California where I have a job waiting for me(till October)when I got laid off by the university. Now im in a bind because I really hate it here.It is to expensive to live and the only jobs around barley pay enough to get by and thats with food stamps so you cant save money, have a decent paying job in a much cheaper place to live in way north California but cant afford to get out there.(catch 22 cause if i was there id be making enough to make the trip no problem.) I want to get there because the living situation is cheaper and with the job id have id be able to go back to school and try to do something with my life besides work in fast food (want to be a history teacher). Please anything helps and if you include an address Ill write you a thank you card.

It all starts two years ago when I had a real estate business. I had known there was something wrong with me for years but 2 years ago I had only just been diagnosed with Endometriosis. The pain associated with it was excruciating and after all those years of pain it went on to develop into chronic pain syndrome.

I was lucky to have a partner to help support me through my illness, but with his own health issues the real estate business failed and I ended up deep in debt. In February this year I had to do a Non Asset Procedure, which is a less harsh form of bankruptcy.

Due to my bad health and Chronic pain I have been unable to work much in the last couple of years, but I decided to make good use of my time and have been studying towards my Bachelor of Communications in Media Studies and Journalism.

In September of last year my city that I lived in, Christchurch New Zealand was hit by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake. Luckily for us it struck in the middle of the night and was centred quite a way outside of the City so there was a lot less damage than people would expect from an earthquake of that size. However just when we were all getting back on our feet, on February 22nd this year the city was hit again. This time the quake was a 6.3 and was centred under the city, which meant unimaginable damage to our entire city and 188 people were dead.

I left the city that day because I couldnt deal with the emotional and mental toll it was taking on me. I had to leave my friends and family behind. Myself and my partner moved to the North Island to a place called Paraparaumu, it is a 9 hour drive and ferry ride from my family and home town. The move cost us a lot of money and we have struggled to survive up here as there are not many jobs.

On top of that myself and my partner are separating, which leaves me financially worse off, with no job and no car, and health needs.

I am such a proud person who doesnt like to take even a couple of dollars from people, but I am desperate and need some help. I need to buy a car so that I can still remain mobile. Healthwise I'm able to go back to working part time so need a car for transport for work.

Please if anyone can help or donate a few dollars here and there I would be eternally greatful. I am a great believer of paying it forward and intend to do just that when I am finally on my feet. I also do a lot of advocating for organisations like Greenpeace and Amnesty International. I may not be able to offer them financial help right now but I'm always willing to spread the word and message they need to spread and to do volunteer work for them. Thats how I pay it forward and I ask that you take the chance to pay it forward to someone like myself that is in need.

Whoever you are just know that whatever you send out you recieve three fold. The universe has a way of blessing you for your generosity.
