Overtime Tags

Just two weeks ago we got the word from the Feds that my daughter would have to begin paying off her education debt to the tune of $1,533.00 per month. This is to bring down a total debt amount of $200,000 + dollars.

Yes, that's $200,000 dollars!! What??? While they are working to determine if this is actually the amount owed, she still has to pay this money back starting on May 28, 2012.

Unfortunately, she is not a doctor, attorney, or any other vocation that allows her to have this kind of money to pay this humongous bill. She is a social worker who makes about $33,000 per year. Although she could seek to get another part-time job her current job does not allow her to do that. Her working hours are 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. many nights (with no overtime - that sucks!!). Last night she did not get home until midnight only to have to be back at work at 8:00 a.m. this morning.

I so want to help her but I am unable to do so at this time because I am retired and am receiving a very small fixed income. I am looking for work myself so that I can help out. In the meantime however, the first payment is due May 28 and I'm (we're) desperate to get some help.

So please, whatever you can share to help her in this dire need would be most appreciated. And, if there is someone who could pay one or two months forward on this, we would surely be forever grateful and thankful for your generous gift.

I will be adding my two cents worth just as soon as I get a job. In the meantime though, whatever you can send to help her pay this bill on Monday, May 28 would help to take some of the pressure off.

You see, if that money is not in the bank by then, they will garnish her next check which means that she won't be able to keep her place to live and her car to get to work. No car - no work. She lives in a rural area and has to drive to get to work. There is no public transportation available and the beat goes on. If she has No place to live - she then becomes a social worker in need of services herself. That would be messy and wouldn't allow her to keep her job. So whatever financial help you can provide will be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your generous heart and donations.

I've been battling a mysterious illness for over a year. I can't keep food down. I've had a boat load of tests, ultrasounds, endoscopies and blood work and everything came back normal. All I have now are a ton of medical bills and no answers. To make things worse I'm generally able to work a lot of overtime at work. Ever since this illness set in I'm lucky if I can make through my entire shift. Please help me. I will be forever grateful.

As a family of six, It's my husband, myself, and our four kids. We are literally drowning from not having any money. My husband is the only one that works and he works Full-time. He is a hard worker and even works Overtime to have enough to support his family. I see the hurt in his eyes everytime he sees his family struggle and not have. Our kids are 8, 5, almost 3 and 4 months. We are in need of clothes for them, for its hard when we live pay check to pay check and never have anything extra. Please if you have a heart, help my family. Even if its one dollar, God will bless you. Thanks, Heather

I am a 36 year old single mother of two awesome teenagers and I'm trying to fulfill a life long dream by going back to school.

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to be an archaeologist and history professor as well as wanting to move to Norway since first reading the Prose Edda at the age of 11. Unfortunately those dreams got put on hold when I had my first child at the age of 19 and my second at 21. My children are now 15 and 17 and about to go off to university and begin their own lives and so it is time for me to revisit my dreams. This is going to consist of 3 steps each of wish I need help funding as I do not qualify for student loans/grants and cannot afford to quit my job to be elligible.

As the first step in this process I have been accepted to the University of Leicester to begin work on my BA in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology and am scheduled to begin classes on June 4th 2012 via distance education. In total the 3 year course will cost £10,350 with £1150 installments due every January, May and September 1st. Along with this one module requires me to go to England in year 2 for field school at Borrough Hill as well as a second trip over in year 3 for lab work. There is also an option to make a third trip for the graduation ceremony if funding allows. Each of these trips will cost roughly $2500 - $3000.

The second step in this plan is to complete a Master's degree in Nordic Viking and Medievil Studies at the University of Oslo in Norway. At this time UiO does not have tuition fees however they do require that international students have NOK 80,000 (roughly $13,500) per year of study. And Norwegian law prevents international students outside the EU from working while persuing their studies.

Finally the third step in the process much like the second involves doing further studies at UiO in the form of persuing a PhD in a topic related to Viking Metallurgy.

I have already taken steps to start covering costs on my own by working as much overtime as I can get (though this option is going to be limited once school starts as I will need to focus on school work) as well as moving from the house I was renting to a smaller, cheaper apartment with a roomate to cut costs. Unfortunately these measures alone aren't going to be enough to get me there. Any help you could give would be very much appreciated.

my bad luck started on the way home from adopting my son. our finances were nil from the adoption, but my wife and i were happy with the knowledge that her son was now mine, and the finances would work out. we were WRONG. on the way home, our van died and needed repairs, then all of the overtime i had been working to help pay for things dried up. fast forward two months, now we're on the verge of loosing our home, our gas is off, so we have no hot water and only dried goods for food. the electricity is scheduled to be shut off in a week. and the laptop i tried to sell to make up the money we needed was stolen. if there is a kind soul out there that reads this, we desperatly need $1500 dollars. and i do mean desperate. as in im trying to figure out how to cash in on my life insurance...that desperate. please help!

Hello. In July, 2010, my husband Theo was diagnosed with West Nile Virus and Encephalitis causing him to lose his motor skills and become an infant in a 40 yr old body. The virus is gone, but the effects linger. He has been out of work for almost 21 months. We live in Orlando, FL and Theo has been receiving treatment in St Louis, MO for the last 7 weeks. The treatments are working and the Dr wants to keep him for another 6 weeks. We are trying to raise $3000 to cover the costs of his stay, the Dr visits and his flight home. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am happy to report that I have been blessed with working overtime and we are down to the last $1,150 that we need to finish paying the bills. Any Help is appreciated!! THANK YOU!

Thank you in advance for your consideration!!

I recently adopted my wife's son, using the money i would usually use for bills, under the impression i could handle the financial problem via working overtime and help from family. On the way home, our family van broke, and the 'help from family' came as fixing the van. That was two months ago, and trying to fix it on my limited income has failed (the overtime disappeared). So now, we owe on all our bills, our bank account is $800 in the hole, gas has been shut off, power has given us an extension until mid may (at which point it is all due up front, $300 just in power for two months!), our phones are shut off (which my boss found out yesterday and said get a phone of some kind in two weeks or you're fired), and lastly, the bed we purchased back at christmas will be seized. I know that sounds stupid, but it's a special bed for my back condition. I don't feel I'm some lost cause that will be on this site begging for money week after week, I just had some financial plans backfire...a one time financial plan at that. I did the math and have found that a total of $1500 will get me through this horrible ordeal and set my family and I back on financial track. I've already sold my car to pay the mortgage for two more months(leaving us to struggle on just one van), please help me not loose any more! any and all donations are greatly appreciated!

The main reason I joined the police department is to help others. Unfortunately, due to the economic downfall, I have not had a raise in five years and opportunities for overtime are slim. I am making under basic officer pay, which is not that much. In addition, cost of leaving, healthcare, lawyer fees and pension contributions have skyrocketed. Many of my brother’s in blue have lost their homes and even had their vehicles repossessed (yes at the police station). I have been lucky to keep my job and am very thankful for that. My wife and kid both had inpatient surgery costing me thousands out of pocket. Due to my wife having complications with childbirth, an unknown blood disorder, and debilitating lower back/hip pain, I will continue looking for a cure for her no matter what the cost. I love my family and will do anything for them. With that said, I have $32,000 in student loans that I am unable to pay at this time and I am at risk of defaulting which will devastate my chances of applying for a much needed car loan. I am asking for any financial assistance to help me pay off my student loan and medical expenses. It is my greatest joy to help those that are in need and yes even die trying. I am in desperate need of your assistance. Thank you.

I am a nurse on a salary that does not cover my outgoings. I am working overtime, selling all my furniture, anything I can at the moment. I walk to work and only food shop once a month or when I can afford too. I don't drink, smoke or go out. Last year my job changed with a reduction in salary. I have now got debts in excess of $10,000. I have consolidated my debts and pay a set amount every month, sometimes I go without food shopping just so I can pay for electric and gas. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me, I love my nursing job, but sadly I am so low, as I am desperately close to losing my home with the mortgage rate increase and other bills. Please help, I promise to repay those who can help me when I can, Thank you xx

I am writing this beg for help out of desperation and anxiety. I have been a full time licensed practical nurse at a small town hospital for 5 years. I have a 2 year old son and a one year old daughter. I do not currently, nor have I ever, asked for any government assistance to get through life. I make ends meet by working VERY hard at the hospital, picking up overtime when necessary. I clip coupons, shop at discount stores and take every article of hand-me-down clothing that comes my way. I start a registered nursing program in the fall of 2012. I am asking for help to keep my home financially afloat while I attend school. I am not asking for a million dollars, just a little help. Anything at all would be greatly appreciated- grocery or Wal-mart gift cards, gas cards. Anything that a little family could use to get by while Mommy can't work full time is all I'm asking for

Hi good people this is my first time on here It is really sad that I have to do this.My husband and I are way behind in our rent and we have an eviction notice for 72 hours. we are trying to stay in our apartment because we cant find anything cheaper.My husband is a mover and with the economy so messed up he might only work once or twice a month and they cut all overtime at my job. been lookin for even a part time job but no luck. if anyone could help us with any monetary donation so we wont go in the streets it would be greatly appreciated.we had to sell one car to pay back rent. we have nothing left to sell. please help!!!! we pay $800 a month which is way cheap for our area and now we have to pay $500 extra each month for back rent which we dont have either for this month ugghhh just trying to keep a roof over our heads and survive thank you

Hello everyone I am very new to internet begging as they call it. A little background about me. I am a Paramedic working in a rural area in Michigan. I have been working in EMS for 6 years now. I love doing what I do everyday, saving people and helping them in thier time of need is very rewarding personally. Unfortunatly Being a Paramedic is not very rewarding finacially. I consistantly work 72 to 84 hours a week to try and make ends meet. These hours have been cut due to budgets being cut down to 48 a week. The overtime is just not there anymore. Without this overtime I am having a hard time making my car payment. I currently pay $300 a month in a car payment for my Jeep. I love my Jeep, anyone who has experince a rural MI winter knows that 4 wheel drive is a must have. However with rising gas prices and the high monthly payment I am having trouble paying it. I am asking for any help that you can donate to me to help alleviate my costs. I really do appreciate any and all. Thank you to anyone who donates! I truely am greatful!

Thank you for reading this.
I once had as much overtime as I wanted, during which time I had a large mortgage but an income which could cope. Now the recession has hit, overtime is a thing of the past. I have tried so hard to find other work for my days off to provide an extra income, but there is nothing going.
I am now desparate, my outgoings exceed my income, and I fear that I may be about to lose everything. I have this vision of my house being repossessed, and my wife leaving me, all due to lack of income. My wife is older than me, and diabetic, the stress is making her diabetes very hard to control, sometimes I think she would be better off without me, but I keep battling. I just can't turn things around. We have no vices, we don't smoke, don't drink, don't gamble, we don't actually waste any money at all, but it just isn't enough.
If anybody can find it in their hearts to help us out we would be so grateful. Obviously it would be thousands to repay the mortgage, I would not dream of asking for that. But any amount received would go directly to the mortgage, to saving my home and marriage. Honestly, anything would help, however small.
Thank you again for taking the time to read this.

hi my husband works full time and overtime if its available but still finding it hard to cover all bills!i know its a long shot but turned to this site hoping there are people that could help,even a little?many thanks for taking the time to read this

Thank you for taking a moment to read my post. My request is very simple...

I'm a hard working woman who is unable to keep up with my expenses. My employer has had a "raise freeze" going for the past two years, but unfortunately, the expenses are still going up. All of my utilities are past due and I'm currently searching for a cheaper apartment. I've been working my butt off (salary - no overtime) and I still can't make ends meet.

My request is for one frivolous item - a new (used - LG G2X) cellphone. I don't need it, but I would really love to have it. I've been trying to save up for it for over a year, but I end up having to spend the money on legitimate expenses such as food. I feel kind of like that kid in the movie "you'll shoot your eye out, kid!", but I can't help hoping...

Again, thank you for listening.

I am really struggling to make ends meat right now. I had £10,000 of Credit Card debt run up just paying bills and a few years of stupidity spending beyond my means.I have been slowly getting myself back on my feet. I have managed to get this debt down to £4600 as of 4th Dec 2012 by living on the bread line but I am really struggling to keep a roof over my head. I work full time and overtime to get by and really must remove this debt from my head to allow me to restart my life. I have fell upon some extremely difficult financial times from being stupid. Nothing more nothing less and its a life lesson learned. I am not one to EVER ask for help but I guess there is a first for everything.

I have come up with an idea that means you don`t have to donate to me to actually donate to me. How you may ask ? By using the auction site ebay. Everyone at one point of another buys from this site. Below is a link that if you copy and paste it in your browser will mean that if you buy something or anything from ebay I would receive a tiny percent of their profits via a cash back scheme. Its only pennies but every little will go a long way.

Its not much but its a start. Millions of people worldwide are using this site and if a few people used this link before purchase it would track the purchase and the percentage ebay take for their fees would give me a little cut and in no way affect your purchase. Please please if using ebay give this link a copy and paste and through time may an internet giant clear my feet. As soon as everything is paid off I will remove this link.

If this seems like too much effort a small donation would certainly help.

Below is the link, please copy and paste whole thing to your address bar and it will link purchase to my cashback. Please help and tell a friend who uses ebay. Anything at this time is worth a shot :(

I was shorted on my paycheck, and the people i work for don't deem it necessary to fix it. instead of getting money from overtime, I am significantly underpaid this paycheck. I am down to my last two dollars, and have another week before my next check. My electric will get shut off on the ninth if I don't get them some money. My cats are out of litter and almost out of food. I can't think of anything else to do at this point. Please help!

My name is Jay and I work in nyc doing security. I have debt and I try to pay my bills. I work hard and do alot of overtime. When my paycheck gets deposited into my account the debt collectors take money from my account, so much money that I can barely pay my bills. I need about $2000 but if you can give $20 to $50 that'll be enough. Thank you for your help.

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
