Hello,

I am not sure where to begin, but first I just want to thank you for viewing my post on behalf of my baby Boy.

I have a darling son who just recently celebrated his first birthday. I always thought that I would be the successful and married mom, but life still has me.on the waiting list. During my pregnancy I was involved
in Two vehicle accidents. Both times i was merely a passenger. Unfortunately the accidents left me disabled. My physical disabilities and pregnancy costed me my job. I became homeless during my pregnancy for several months. My boyfriend/father of my child had been with me for.several years but became Very angry about the pregnancy. After several abusive threats and statements he finally cut off ALL contact with me and our unborn child. I was already disabled at this point. My baby does not receive Any child support. NONE. His father still has refused any and all contact even now...He is paid cash as to avoid helping our son. Eventually, i began hearing alarming threats through third parties on the life of our baby that he does not want. So, I fled the state. :'(
I want the best for my baby. I feel like such a failure. I do as much as physically possible to provide a safe and stable home. Due to my limitations i can only do so much and fall short every month.
I would like to raise money towards buying him a crib, getting at least a one bedroom apartment of our own, preschool, clothes, a college fund, etc.
I need a better beginning for my baby. He deserves a fighting chance and i love him more than anything in the world. It.brings tears to my eyes to have a faithless baby with a disabled mother.
Please i am begging you....help my son to have a bright future. I would be happy to provide updated information as he.grows if possible.
In case you are wondering where is the help from family members: Every once in awhile a family member will buy him a few books or a pair of shoes. Not often. I guess they cannot afford to consistently help raise someone else's child and i fully understand. Everyone has their own battles to fight.
This is just the beginning of my baby boy's journey through life. I pray that you will be a blessing to him and help to make his journey one full of wonderful memories.
Thank you so much.....
Disabled Solo Mom & Bright Eyed Baby Boy

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Jean and I am a mother of three. I am married to William, for 4 years and we are NJ natives. I am a caregiver for my 60 year old mother who was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Failure in January of 2011.

In June of 2010 my mother came from Michigan to live with me with the intention of helping me and my husband by watching our children during our working hours. My husband and I both work very long hours, and the children would have been required to spend long periods of time alone. So my mother came to help us fill the gap. In October of 2010, my mother’s health took a turn for the worse and it was continually getting worse as the year progressed. By January of 2011 my mother was unable to stand for any length of time and was always short of breath.

On February 10th I admitted my mother to the emergency room @ ACMC/Mainland. She was immediately diagnosed with kidney failure. She was admitted to ICU and on February 12th she had a cardiac arrest, due to toxic levels of magnesium, in her system. My mother suffered a sustained brain injury and to this day has a deficit she will have to live with forever. This deficit has taken away her ability to drive, live on her own, or be without some type of supervision.

My family suffered an extreme financial crisis that is ongoing and increasingly more devastating. I was out of work on FMLA for 8 weeks without pay. I was given $1200 in disability payments. I was allowed back to work, but with a significant decrease in pay and a change of position.

We have fallen behind in our bills in a catastrophic way. It seems the more we pay the more we owe. In fact, for the last week we have been without running water. Our gas has been off for three weeks and we use that for hot water, heat, and cooking. Our bank fees for the month of September have been astronomical (well over $400) for NSF charges and Service fees. This is just spiraling out of control. The children attend a local charter school and Pleasantville High school. Each child only has one pair of shoes and one uniform because I can’t get ahead of the curve to get them additional ones. The little ones need their school logo embroidered on the uniforms but that cost more than the shirt did.

We feel helpless and without some type of help we will continue to be a homeless family of six. We are currently living in a motel on the edge of our town. This is a pay by the hour type of place but it is the only place that will charge us by the week and will allow one of use to sleep on the floor. We are soliciting any type of help you can give. Please be mindful that we are hard working members of society. We have been working since we got out of high school. We are not beggars and we are willing to give back in the form of community service.
All I know is that we need help! Immediately or we’ll be past saving!
Thank you,
Jean Elam

Without sufficient friends or family to rely on, a single person with special-needs pets needs your help in any amount. No steady work in spite of many interviews and diligent searching, multiple health issues, and lack of adequate support network have left this person in a desperate situation. Ten dollars will buy a bag of groceries. One hundred dollars will pay an electricity bill. Eight hundred dollars will help keep this person and the pets in their home. Eighty dollars will help keep communications open so this person can continue to look for work. Eighty-three dollars will buy prescription dry and canned pet food. Twenty dollars will pay for human prescriptions. Two hundred dollars will buy a warm winter coat that fits and which is suitable for job interviews. Five dollars will buy a thrift store garment in the person's current size (presentable clothes that fit are an issue). One hundred twenty dollars will buy a suit for a job interview. Sixty dollars will buy shoes that do not hurt and which are suitable for work. Thirty dollars will help pay for the laundromat for a couple of weeks. Fifteen dollars will buy an herbal supplement to help treat a life-threatening condition.

The financial situation for this person has become very dire due to lack of work. The person is applying for many types of jobs at any rate of pay. This is a skilled and educated individual who is eager to do any work of which the person is capabale. Any amount can help relieve the health-robbing pressure and burden on this person. Two hundred fifty dollars would allow the person to get a needed cleaning for the first time in over two years and to check on tooth pain and a possible jaw problem. Ten dollars will cover the required donation required to visit a low-income medical clinic. Twenty-five dollars will cover most urgent prescriptions for a month.

Two dollars will buy a little bit of fruit. Four hundred dollars will provide a vision exam and new glasses or a couple of pair of replacement lenses as this person is having difficulty seeing with the old glasses.

Please forgive the third person description. It is very hard to write this and just about impossible to use the word "I" in telling this story.

Even a tiny amount will help go for something necessary. No amount is too large or too small to be appreciated or put to practical use to help a very grateful person climb out of a very bad situation and create a more stable and secure life. Thank you again for reading.

Hello,
This is the first time I have ever begged for money so I don't even know how to beg for it! Here we go, I am a college student, I tried fafsa they gave nothing supposedly my mother earned enough she is a mother of 4 and currently unemployed, doctor said she can't work anymore but the social security keeps rejecting her application. A single mother who is very ill had one surgery back in March and a heart catheterization because of a blocked artery this past November 4th. She has another surgery coming up
first week of December due to a paralyzed vocal cord. Obviously, there is no money at all. I enrolled in a payment plan at my school. I was working during the summer but ended up laid off from work like many. My earnings went to helping my mother with my brothers’ expenses. I managed to pay my first two payments at school but today was the deadline for the second to last payment. The previous one was only 2 weeks ago (I don’t know how the school expects for you to wind up with a chunk of money in two weeks). I ended up paying back in October 26 $311.75 for the tuition payment. Also, 412.50 for my rent and utilities on the side about 100. I was freaking out after that since I ended up with $5. I got on craigslist listed my belongings but only managed to sell one pair of diamond earrings. The pawnshop wouldn't even want to sell my other diamond white gold earrings!

In the end, I went this morning at 9am (est) and paid $60. I have a hold now on my account for not paying the full amount, which means I won't be able to register for classes on spring if I don't come up with $563.50 plus a late fee by December 9. Please help!!!!!!! My main concern is my college payment. I really need it and I tried loans but I don’t qualify and I am constantly applying for jobs still nothing there yet.

I will highly appreciate any donations and I will keep those who helped me updated on this situation and will provide proof of payment to each and
everyone who donates.

Thank You for your time,

The amount needed is $563.50.

I am the mom to 4 great kids I have been providing a property clean up business for 12 years. the last 2 1/2 years I have been struggling severely. My truck I have been using for the past 10 years is almost 20 years old. It keeps breaking down. I don't have the money to fix it. I have missed several jobs and been late on others because my truck was broke down. I try to keep it in good repair, but I have have to choose between fixing the truck or paying my mortgage witch has run 3 to 4 weeks behind for the last 2 years. I have never had to beg for any thing. I have always worked hard for every thing I have, however my property taxes ane about to be due, my truck in very bad shape causing it to use a lot more gas than normal, I'm currently 2 weeks behind on my mortgage. I haven't even bought a new pair of jeans for my self in 2 years. I am watching my kids grow up without the things I wanted to provide for them. while they have food and basic clothing and all the love any kid could want. I could run my business much more efficiently and provide for my kids the way they deserve, If I could purchase a good work truck. While this was not the type of work I intended to go into. After my husband left us in the middle of the night and did not call or give a reason why. I had no choice but to continue this business. I had work hard trying to build it and I couldn't make more then minimum wage doing anything else so I've just kept working. I am humiliated to have to beg but I feel there is no other way. I have created a pay pal account for anyone that could help me. Thank you so much for what ever you may be able to provide.

Hi, i have never really done anything like this before so here goes. I am 29 years old and have worked in the service industry most of my life as a cook. I have always said i was going to go back to school but i never really found the time since i have always worked 50+ hour weeks. For the last year work prospects have been dismal. You would think that service industry work is plentiful but i have been proven otherwise. Pretty much what brings me here now goes like this :
I had what i thought was a decent amount of money saved up after the restaurant i worked in closed its doors. When i had first started saving this it was originally intended to go into my college fund. After paying rent, car payment, phone bill, food, internet
along with some quality of life expenses i am down to my last 23 dollars. I have already either sold or am in the process of selling anything of value i have in my apartment (funny enough having a hard time doing that too only thing that sold quickly was my xbox 360 and my flat screen). Again, i don't know what to do. I keep doing the right thing. Looking for a job has become my job. I have tried to do everything i can to minimize my spending even down to eating one meal a day and walking to look for work (you would be surprised how after a while walking a few miles is preferable to paying 2.25 for a bus fare). As time is going by my clothing are starting to deteriorate and my shoes are worn on the outer heel of each to the point i can see my socks. I do have another pair of shoes but when you are looking for a job dress shoes i wore once at a wedding and damn near tattered jeans and super faded shirts doesn't sound like a good idea when you're trying to impress a potential employer.
I feel like i am just screwed now. Soon i wont be able to afford my cell phone payments (i need this to keep in touch for job prospects) and i am currently arranging to find somewhere to stay temporarily since i wont be able to afford my apartment anymore (makes me glad i had the forethought to pay a few months rent in advance while i still could). I don't have any family left and my 2 friends in the world and now ex girlfriend are having enough money problems of their own they couldn't help me if they wanted to. I am currently only eligible for foodshare and a reduced payment plan for my electricity. I have tried every state resource that is meant to help out people in my situation but aside from the foodshare and utilities assistance all i found was jaded city workers and disappointment.
Getting to the point i have nowhere else to turn for help aside from charity. I don't have money left and i am freaking out. I ran a laundry list of things that everybody needs and i cant afford simple things anymore like soap, shoes , toothpaste and clothing.
I am planning on getting what i need together and go to college since i don't want to be a cook for the rest of my life but i need some help. Anything that can be thrown towards my expenses so i can keep my head above water until i manage to find a job and pay for my high school transcripts to be translated so i can apply for financial aid and go to school (i am aware that college is not a solution to my situation but i can at least take that time to learn something new that i can apply to hopefully increasing my earning potential). I cant do this if i am homeless.
So please anything can help since its more than i make right now. I am scared and i honestly do not think i will fare well homeless in the streets. I don't want to end up homeless in the dead of winter.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
Anything from 25 cents to your prayers help.

What if I can go a day without choosing to pay the bills and afford to buy my children a nice pair of school shoes that they got to wear first instead of a secondhand pair. What if I can go to the grocery store and know I have enough to buy necessities? What if the phone rang and it wasn't a debt collector , it was just someone saying hello how are you? What if our car just worked right? I would love to live in a world for a day where there are no what if's.
I'm a simple mom, don't have much not even a cellphone. I just would like to be able to take a deep breath and let it out with certainty.

I'm working on constructing a home using earthbag techniques and I'm short on materials. I need a few hundred dollars for more sandbags, barbed wire as well as chicken wire and concrete to cover the outside of the structure. I'm using recycled doors and windows and lumber for flooring and other structural elements. My goal is to live off the approximately half acre of land I own, including farming wood for heating and cooking as well as food. I also need a new pair of boots, I'm wearing my boots and socks out fast as I'm doing all my digging to fill the bags with a shovel, no power tools or help from other people. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a small array of solar panels for electricity but I have no water storage or collection set up. To set up water storage and collection will take several hundred dollars as well. More solar panels and storage batteries are always desirable. If possible I can submit an Amazon wishlist, as I'd prefer to get assistance in the form of materials and equipment that I need, rather than just money, as I'm trying to get away from the monetary system entirely.

My almost 19 year old son, who is autistic and nonverbal, and is not potty trained, needs a full size mattress terribly. He is not toilet trained, and has wet the bed so often I cannot clean it anymore. He has broken the box springs and frame compelty,but my husband has fashioned a frame out of 2 x 4's. His disability causes him to have extreme agression, and he continually breaks windows, makes holes in walls, tears up his clothing, unravels carpet, tore up laminate flooring,so many things. In one week he tore up 5 pair of shorts and 6 shirts, and 6 pair of socks. He even does it at school. He tore up 3 sets of sheets just last month. He wears adult diapers, which cost a lot. The state does give him medicaid, but they only pay for about 1/2 the diapers he uses a month. I am at my wits end trying to keep up with it. Currently there are 6 fairly large holes in the hallway, three in his bedroom, 2 in the dining room, we keep patching them but he keeps making them. I was laid off my job as a special ed aide in 2008, and then I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am currently in remission, but the medical bills are staggering and we are two months behind in rent. We owe $297 to the electric bill and only have 5 days to pay it. My husband has been looking for a second job, but he works long and odd hours and it is hard. I have tried everything to get caught up, but everything keeps happening, car repairs on our 2000 impala cost over $400, we can't get it registered because it won't pass emissions, besides our disabled son we also have a 13 year old. I don't know where else to turn.I need $1500 for rent, $300 for the electric bill, and am desperate for a new mattress or bed for my son. If anyone can help, I would be so thankful, and be sure to pass on the blessings to someone else whenever I get the chance. Thank you so much.

last night while he was in town, he was told his house was on fire, he rushed home hurried to grab the
garden hose to save what he could, only he fell and had to go to the hospital where he fractured
several ribs and tore something in his for arm,which is wrapped and in a sling.
today he can hardly move for the pain.
he lost 4 kittens and the mama cat, every photo he had of his kids and so much more.
unfortunatley he didnt have insurance on the house.

he has a 19 yr old son living with him.

the fire dept probably did as much damage as the fire. they didnt try to seal the section off and work
on it, they soaked everything , every room.. so much that the ceiling fell in.
no one has contacted him most of the day, no one offered to really help these people..

i came home, got on the phone and called the red cross in albemarle nc, the lady said we cant do anything
till we hear from the fire marshall,
so we tried to call the fire marshal.. this was like 2 pm today..(friday) no answer left a message, it is now 11:30 at night.
.still no reply back.
someone did tell us he wouldn't contact them till he finished his investigation, that could be days,
called a church here, they said yes we help but we go through stanly county christian ministries call them.. so i called them
they said well, he needs to bring something showing his house burnt..i said lady its not as if they give to a certificate to hand out
when your house catches on fire.. i can give you the norwood police number, or the fire marshal to verify it..
around 5-6 red cross call's my friend.. tells him they are going to put he and his son up in a hotel in albemarle for the weekend.
. and he never heard back from them.. its now 11: 30 at night. i called the hotel they said red cross did call, but they didn't
send the paper work or call back.
thank god for the one friend he does have who is letting them stay at his house tonight, and giving them a hot shower,
and a place to rest. if left to the red cross i guess they would be sleeping in the yard.

this is crazy.. his house is totaled from one end to the other, nothing is untouched by smut and water,
no power, no clothes..not even a pair of socks.
charities are so eager to take your money, .but it seems to take an act of congress to get help if your the victim,
this is a good guy, he has volunteered his time endless times, days on end at the community table to feed people just
down the road. he'd help anybody he could,and has a wonderful son.

things they could really use,
clothes,
if there is anyone who might work in construction that has left over wood 2x4's, 2x6's
plywood, sheet rock, flooring,
anything it doesn't even matter if its scrap.
if anyone has some gently used furniture, beds, blankets.

thank you for taking the time to read my post, i know there are alot of good people out there who
still believe in helping, you just have to find a way to let them know you need it.
any help you can give would mean so much.

i can provide proof, phone numbers, photos, and address.
all i ask is please be serious in offering to help,
my name is tina..

My husband and I are permanently taking in his 11 year old nephew because the State is taking permanent custody from the mother and we didn't want him to go into foster care. We are low income and have 3 children of our own, ages 5, 3, and 1. Both our 5 year old and the 11 year old we are taking in start school at the end of the month. We need clothes and shoes for school. He has all of one backpack worth of clothing and 1 pair of shoes that are falling apart. Also, to accomodate the 11 year old, we need a bunkbed with mattresses(we just have toddler beds now), a dresser, sheets, comforter, and basic neccessities for him. We had to spend what little savings we had repairing our 11 year old van just a few months ago. If you can help AT ALL, please do. I gladly purchase used items to save money, but it still adds up with our now 4 kids. Please help!

I have 1 pair of jeans and a few t-shirts. We're living in the living room of our grandparent's house. I've been to four high schools trying to find places to live, and had to leave my sister with our grandparent's. Our grandfather has Parkinsons, and our grandmother doesn't want anything to do with us. We're living on food-stamps and borrowing clothes from my friend. Please help us. Any amount of money will help. If you want to know more, please don't hesitate to email me.

I FOUND THIS WEBSITE TODAY OUT OF DESPERATION. IT'S VERY, VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO ASK FOR HELP; TO ADMIT I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN ON MY OWN ANYMORE. BUT I TRULY NEED HELP NOW. I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH A BAD DIVORCE FOR 5 YEARS NOW. IT'S BEEN SO DIFFICULT ON MY CHILDREN. THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS AND THEY CERTAINLY DON'T DESERVE IT. WE HAD A NICE HOME AND GOOD JOBS, BUT MY KIDS BARELY REMEMBER THOSE DAYS. ALL THEY KNOW IS THE CONSTANT STRUGGLE TO COME UP WITH ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, FOOD...THINGS OTHER PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A JOB, BUT UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $200.00 FOR ANY EYE EXAM AND A SUITABLE PAIR OF GLASSES OR CONTACTS. I'M NEARSIGHTED AND MY VISION IS VERY POOR. IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE, BUT I DO IT DURING THE DAY WHEN IT'S NECESSARY. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. MY TWO SONS ALSO NEED DESPERATELY TO GO TO THE DENTIST. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN 6 YEARS. MY OLDEST SON (HE'S 13) TOLD ME YESTERDAY HE IS HAVING PAIN AND LOSING A PART OF HIS GUM WHERE HIS WISDOM TEETH ARE COMING IN. IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST $200.000 EACH TO HAVE THEIR TEETH CLEANED AND X-RAYS. I KNOW THEY WILL ALSO NEED THEIR WISDOM TEETH REMOVED SOON. I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE IN THE SAME SITUATION THAT I'M IN...I'M 42 AND I STILL HAVE MY WISDOM TEETH. I HAVE A LOT OF PAIN SOMETIMES, BUT THE RISKS INVOLVED IN HAVING REMOVED ARE TOO GREAT.

54 yo female in accident while driving mom's car Oct 2008. Mom's seatbelt came loose and she ended up in floorboard. I was her only caregiver. She passed away Nov 2008. In Jan 2009 I woke up with right sided numbness. After mush testing a tumor was found that was pressing on spinal cord. It was surgically removed. Due to continued numbness and driving around 400-500 miles a week I had to do back out on disability. In 2010 I lost my job and benefits. In July 2010 I had a stroke but rehab helped me progress. Then I was brought home and left by myself with a weekly visit for dropping off groceries. My sister make my neurologist think I was unsafe and she got my disability check. She pays mortgage and utilities and gives me nothing. I paid my bills on computer while in rehab. Now with no money I would love to be able to get out for lunch and eat on occassion. I also need money for food and a pair of athletic shoes that fit properly since I am a diabetic. Please help me with any way possible for you. Thank you

I am in desperate need of money to fly home, from Germany. I came here to work as an Au Pair, but things are not working out quite as I planned. I only need $400 more to be able to buy a ticket home, but tickets are increasing daily. I'm even willing to pay you within 2 months!!! Please email me at dessii18@yahoo.com, if you are willing to help. Thanks :)

This blog will devote an honest story about a very brave woman who throughout his life only knows the grief, pain and suffering ... my mother ... a few years ago, after a tragic accident and my father's death, even as an underage girl remained alone with her mother .. my mother is a really generous person, a person with a big heart full of love .. Given that we are after father's death, the other two of us, mother coped through life as they knew only that the two of us survived, and not to be found on the street .. She has worked in a company as a cleaner and thus earning money to pay the loan, and directing the money from which we live ... his mother a few months ago lost her job because she is on her left lung cancer was observed, and no longer able to work ... and is unable to pay the loan which was raised to buy some small piece of land on which we ourselves have made a small cottage in which we live now ... We have not had a man at home I remember that we are hungry, frostily operated and participated in building the house ... but the mother was always brave and hoped that it will get better tomorrow, cold nights comforted me, hugged and talked to all problems in one go , that we will one day live a normal life like everyone else .. when I saw a child playing with a beautiful, new toys, and after a few hours and toys throw it away, I would be sad, because my mother had money to buy me one, but this would give me the rules of the old pieces of doll clothes with which to play and comforted me by saying that we will one day buy the most beautiful Barbie doll ... thanks to her, I could not, even though she wanted, because he barely collected money to cover costs and bills that are coming every month. It's true mother did not earn enough to be able to start work on the house, so she decided while she had a job to raise a loan and to all health .. and better if it had never picked up, because now I see how in the dark room, because we do not have electricity that we excluded because of debts and a pair of unpaid bills sitting and crying, they drink a large quantity of pills that was kept alive, but not for long .. :((( is a look I know I can not help her .. just know that every month come new unpaid accounts, the rate loans more expensive, and we have no where to be back soon ... we expect that we will get someone from the bank, knock on doors and telling us that we move from our modest home by his mother with a lot of sweat, blood spilled and made ... .. I'm stuck because I'm his best friend and her parents asked him to allow me access to their computer and internet so I spoke to all those people who understand me for at least a little help ... because I know that somewhere in the world there are people of good heart that will help us .. I am sure of it ... that would pay off our debts, we have nothing to sell, but we only hope that all those who understand us in any way that could help us ... believe that we welcome and donations of clothes, medicines, money ... and also I'm sure all of you in your closet has at least one piece of clothing that does not carry, I believe that each of you every day because of money buying things that you never need, and believe that this money is welcome and anyone a bar for what little life he was much else in life, made you happy .. please do not judge me, do not make fun of this by my painful story, because I really do not know how to watch someone so dear to you and not be able to help him ... the only thing I want, and my greatest desire that I have is to see that beautiful smile on her mother's face, which has long since disappeared, because they are occupied by a pretty face problems, worry, hunger, misery and poverty, illness ... I believe that you or Written the smallest part of one of sadness and pain that we passed along, we pass by every day .. do not blame your mother that has raised loans in the bank that we can not repay, because if it did not raise never would have had nowhere to spend the night ... now just know that we were God is determined by birth and who will allocate which belong to the Society of bed .. just do not know what all the bad things in life happen to good people, why all the misery, disease, sorrow, suffering, going to good people? What are they deserve ... but I still have faith in God and you my dear .. and if someone in any way can help us..:((((((((((((((((
