Panhandling Tags

Is there anyone even reading these posts? I've been praying and praying for God to send someone to intervene. If God answers prayer from legitimate need, then someone will help. If not, then not. I've always helped others, even panhandling strangers, with whatever I had.

Thank you, whoever you are, for your generosity.

Hello every one, sadly like many I have hit a hard spot financially, due to being on disability. I do not get enough to both pay bills and buy food on, So I pay bills to keep my roof, but I have not enough to buy food for a month, also I have collage debt that has swelled to ruffly $25,000 due to not having enough income to pay it off, I am looking to go back to School, but I need to pay the debt off, also I need help with paying for food for the month of March 2012, I only need $100 for food. The food is as of right now my primary focus. If anyone could help me with the food, and if at all help me with the debt, it would earn my eternal thanks. I have been avoiding doing Panhandling trying to resolve this problem normally, but I have reached a point where I need to ask for the help. Please if anyone can chip in, please do so.

Thank you all.

Me and my boyfriend have been homeless for some time and have a 5 month old little girl. We also just found out I am pregnant again. We have been searching for jobs for some time and have had no luck. We crochet and try and sell our products online to make money. We also take turns panhandling on freeway ramps to get enough for diapers but it's realistically not enough. We are extremely loving caring people who just so happened to fall into a rut. If we could get the money to get back to our home state in Hawaii we would have a place to stay and a job waiting for us. We have tried everything and if we could only get home we could strive again. Any donations are greatly and truly appreciated from the bottoms of our hearts. Loving you.

Cyber Panhandling? I had never heard of such a thing until I saw a post about Karyn Bosnak last month. She starts a website and asks for $20,000 to help her pay off her credit cards. And she does it!! When I read about it I thought you've got to be kidding me, who would actually believe this girl's story? But then I saw it with my own eyes. All I can say is WOW, who would have thought? I don't have the money to start my own website nor do I have the $9.95 to have my post rotated here and frankly begging for money is making my stomach hurt. But here I am. Am I the only one who is sitting here staring at the screen not knowing how to do this, where to start or thinking do I really have the courage? The thing is, I really don't know what else to do. So here goes.

Wow, this is hard. How do I start? "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up"? Well that's true in a way I guess. I think my problem is I'm afraid to tell you my story because I don't want you to think I'm telling you it because I want you to feel sorry for me because I really don't but how will you know why I am where I am because of it. Ok I just deleted my story and will just say that I had open heart surgery a couple of years ago at the age of 39 for a tumor so you can imagine the medical bills racked up from that. I suffer from depression and PTSD (post tramatic stress disorder)and major anxiety so I've been in the hospital for that...more hospital bills. My husband was laid off from work for 9 months and finally landed a job in a different state and while we were driving up for a week of his training we flipped over twice on black ice. By the grace of God my husband, myself and our 13 year old daughter walked away. But we didn't have insurance because we couldn't afford it. We are so far behind on our bills, our cell phones are turned off, the electricity is next, my daughter needs a bed, she needs her braces put back on (we had to have them taken off when we lost our insurance). We have sold anything of value on craigslist. Our refrigerator is empty, I can't get a job because I don't have a car. If it was just me I'd live in a box, I truly don't want anything for me. But I don't want my daughter to suffer. Trying to hide our financial problems has been so hard but luckily she doesn't know the extent. She's such a good kid. Gets good grades, has the biggest heart and doesn't ask for much. It is killing me because I don't want her to suffer like we are.

Ok, I have to stop now. Please help me if you can. I meant what I said, if you want to know my story, I will tell you. Please know that I am being completely honest. Asking for help is hard but I just don't know what else to do.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

e with patience!

My Story

Please help us. I have been unemployed for a while, diagnosis with bipolar I with psychotic features and missing money for house rent.
We hope someone might be nice to help a small family. We are 2 adults and a daughter.
We rent an apartment and have almost no money for food anymore.
We need approximately $8000.
I hope someone will help with parts or the whole amount. We thank you so much for all the gifts that are given.

Greetings from a small family.

I need to renew my teeth so I can get a job. No - not the reason you are thinking!!!..... I was always a candy-and-soft-drink kind of guy from my earliest childhood in the 40's. The sugar ruined my teeth over a period of many decades. For all those years I kept ahead of the damage because I paid out extraordinary amounts on dental care, year after year, and everything seemed "normal".... I don't drink or smoke or use drugs of any kind. Now I am "sorta retired", trying to live on Social Security at age 68. I tried to "live thrifty", but gradually almost all of the old dental work failed and I lost almost a majority of my teeth, especially all of the uppers in the front - the "interview teeth" ! ! ! ! . I can barely live on the tiny amount I get from "SS" plus pay sky-high regulated-monopoly prices for dental work, so I am living in my car in pain. I am just about to go out panhandling in San Francisco to do SOMETHING! and today I saw this site. Can anybody help me? I can't get a job with my teeth ruined like they are now. I still have maybe half of my teeth and half of the rest are broken rotting stubs, some actively lapsing into toothaches every few days. The remainder are outright missing. All my fault from childhood onwards, I am sure you are saying.....All too true, but I am asking anyway. Please help with anything you can. I have lots of dormant "mainframe" computer skills and internet abilities. I also lots of more-customary regular-job skills, but I am destitute in S.F. with routine monthly expenses - especially with storing the last of my possessions. I can't upgrade my situation unless I have some good-enough teeth that I can go out on a job interview. Also I need to pull the recurring toothache teeth. Thank you in advance for helping me renew my diminishing life-prospects...... Once I get a good job I can definitely pay the rest myself, but I do need some help to get started!

Hi! My name is Ellen. Feel free to call me Toxik, though! I'm a fursuit/costume maker and an artist in the furry fandom, but don't let that deter you. I'm not big on begging or panhandling...but until I can find a suitable job, I might need a little boost to help me get by. I currently work a minimum wage job in a business my family owns. I'm a waitress and work mostly for tips. Typically people rarely sit down at the tables or put money in our tip jar, so usually this means little to no spending money for this fox. I use paypal to keep my spending money and funds in a safe place. It keeps everything well organized. I also need money to buy supplies for artwork and costuming. Every dollar counts, so if anyone would be so kind as to donate, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

This is an emergency.I have been asking for assistance for some time now.I thought someone was helping me but I never received what help I was promised and now I don't know what I'm going to do.I need a kind soul to help me.I have been out of work for over 2 years now.Because I moved from one state to another after my ID had expired they would not let me get an ID until I had produced my birth certificate,which took Social Services 2 years to do because they did not know what they were doing.Well,it was a 30,000 dollar fine to hire me without ID so I was living on the street,between a rock and a hard place.I have never been homeless or unemployed before this but I have had to live like this for 2 years now!I sleep under a freeway bridge,I find my food in trash cans,and I use the library computer to search for jobs.Now I do have ID but what I don't have is clothes,shoes,or a phone.(Without a phone no potential employer can call me back so unless I get hired in the interview I don't get hired.)I don't know how I'm going to resolve this.Every day I talk myself out of suicide because no one gives me a chance.I don't need much and I would be happy to repay every cent after I get back to working.I don't have a credit card or payPal or anything like that.What I need is gift cards to places like Wal-Mart or Target,places I can get clothes appropriate to interviews and a cheap prepaid cell phone.Also a small amount of money to cover bus fare to get to interviews and keep my clothes clean.I could do what I need to do on as little as 20 dollars a month.However,there is a ticking clock here.My mailbox that I set up is about to expire and if I don't get SOME help by next week no one will be able to mail me anything and at that point I don't know how I'm ever going to get on my feet again.I keep myself too clean to beg on the streets and I don't want a criminal record for panhandling because that will make it impossible for me to work.I narrowly avoided one in the past.I am alive but I want more than anything else to HAVE a life.
Please.I'm begging.

All I want out of life is to get back to work.I've been trying and trying but am very limited in WHERE I can work since I have no bus money and no phone to return calls from propspective employers.I don't know where else to turn but if I can't get ahold of enough money to get a cheap disposable phone,bus money,and laundry to keep my clothes clean for interviews I don't know how my situation is ever going to change.I am an experienced person(in 711 type jobs)but for 2 years could not work because my ID had expired and it took me that long to get ahold of my birth certificate.Now that I have proper ID the world has changed.Jobs have become SO much harder to come by!I've done exactly 4 interviews in the last 2 months.I have a place to sleep,I have enough food(don't ask how I get it)but for anything that will get me ahead begging is my only option.I keep myself too clean to beg on the street and don't want to risk getting a criminal record by panhandling but honestly my only intention here is to enable me to get hired!I do not drink or do drugs.I just fell victim to a lot of bad luck.Your courtesy is appreciated.

I'm not just begging for money and giving nothing in return, I have created a slightly entertaining cyber panhandling site, AintToProudToBeg.com, you can visit and read through to give to give to our online group of beggars if you feel like it. We're not on the street or anything but we could use some extra walking around money if you feel like sparing it and you find our online begging presentation worthy of buck! You can go to www.AintToProudToBeg.com or just use the Paypal email listed here! It never hurts to ask!

This is probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do but my circumstances dictate that I must do something. I find myself in a horrible bind and short of panhandling on the street I thought I’d give this a try.

So here is my story, on February 16, 2010 I suffered a heart attack while shoveling snow in my driveway. This was truly a traumatic experience because my son and daughter were with me when this happened. As a result of the heart attack I was forced to take a leave of absence from my job. I thought I would be off for a short time but that is not what happened.

I had the angioplasty procedure and then developed an infection at the site of the procedure which required some additional surgery to drain the infected area. This required another stay in the hospital for three days in May, Which in turn required more time off from work. Then, In June i developed a problem with my blood pressure which required another stay in the hospital.

After that stay my company fired me saying that they could no longer hold my position. As if that wasn’t bad enough they then refused to give me any unemployment stating that I had quit, because I had failed to submit a form. I realize that it was my responsibility to submit the form but in my defense I was dealing with some serious health issue and it just slipped through the cracks.

I was still under doctor’s care but I did not prevail in the attempt to get any benefits. So I began to live off my savings and going to my cardiac rehab. Then in October just after being released from doctor’s care I suffered a mild stroke. Which left me not only physically down but mentally depressed I spent 27 days in the hospital and have exhausted all of my savings.

I have now lost my home and the engine in my car blew out. Fortunately I have been able to receive VA benefits for my health issues which has been a huge help. But now I find myself in need of funds to get back on my feet. I need $5,000.00 to get my car fixed and to tide me over while I look for a job. I now live in the basement of my mother home and am desperate to get back on my feet.

I have donated plasma in order to give my kids some sibilance of Christmas, but I need help to move forward. This so embracing but I am at the end of my rope and don’t know what else to do, so anything you could donate I would be ever so grateful.

Thank you,

I'm a 37 yr. old man with a family that includes me,my wife and 4yr. old daughter.I also have 2 daughters from my previous marriage that I pay support for and take every weekend.2010 was a year long downhill spiral for us.First I lost my job of 6 years due to a company shutdown.I was told of the closing the day it happened.We were already struggling to make ends meet and my wife had just started back to school at night for nursing.After going on unemployment my wife had to stop school to pick up more hours at work.We had to take our daughter out of daycare which meant she had to stay home with me which put me at a big disadvantage for looking for work.However,I can't tell you how many times I've taken her to put in applications and even on some interviews.Believe me,it does'nt help your chances of getting a job showing up with your 4yr. old to do an interview.I finally did get another job only to be laid off 3 weeks after I started.This meant I was'nt there long enough to apply for unemployment.This was over about a 7 month span in 2010 and over that time we fell further and further behind.Luckily I was able to work off a good bit of rent by doing work for our landlord at night after my wife was home.He had alot of properties and I'm a professional painter/handyman by trade.Then in August my landlord came to us and said he was selling the house and we had about 45 days to move.He also refused to help us financially in anyway to make the move and even kept our deposit stating,"I filed bankruptcy,sue me".We found a program that helped us secure another apt. and we moved within 30 days.After we moved in we found out the apt. was infested with mice,ants and other insects.The new place was a nightmare.We found out the young man living under us was physically abusing his girlfriend almost every night as we had to listen to this every night and my daughter witnessed several acts of abuse in the hall and driveway.Continuous phone calls to the property manager and police resulted in nothing being done.These two would break and smash things,yell,swear and slam doors that shook my whole house and broke things on my walls.After about our 5th call to police and the manager we woke up to 4 flats and all our windows broke on our car.Then another couple moved in across the hall from these 2 and this man was physically beating his girlfriend and doing drug deals in front of our house.3 days after they moved in our apt. was broken into and we had several things stolen,including every new toys and clothes we had been buying little by little for my daughters Christmas.It was'nt much,but it was all we had for her.Alot more went on there everyday and I knew we had to move but we had no money.I ended up posting an ad on craigslist and asking people for help and we found someone to let us move in with no deposit or anything.We were forced to move a week before Christmas.Christmas morning we had 3 presents for our daughter,all from toys for tots.Now we're in a new apt. with no way to pay the next months rent or much of anything else.My wife's hours were cut almost in half due to downsizing and cutbacks,I am unable to find work and I don't know what else to do.we don't even have a phone for potential employers to call.I use a free voice mailbox and then have to go to a payphone to return calls if I can find change.We've had to sell anything we had of value over the past 4 or 5 months to semi-survive.We have a car that someone donated to us and I was just told it needs about $2,000 worth of work.Neither my wife nor I have any family still living.We do receive foodstamps and are told that's all we're eligible for here in Mass.We also go to foodbanks every week.I actually tried panhandling 3 times and once I was arrested,another time I was beaten up and the last time I made $12.00 in 10 hours.I don't know what to do.It's gotten so bad the last two months me and my wife have discussed possible temporary(hopefully temporary),foster care for my daughter.I can't imagine losing my daughter for any period because we don't have any money for a place to live.It's tearing my heart out to have to write this.We are very good people.We've always worked hard,have never drank or used drugs and done our best to be good,honest people.We just need a little help.Anything anyone can give will help.Be it a dollar or two or even 50 cents.PLEASE HELP my family in anyway you can.May GOD bless and keep you all.

I live in Miamisburg Ohio with my wife and four young children. The youngest of which was just born on August 26th, 2010. As I write this message, I can't help but feel a wave of guilt and a sense of failure wash over me, because of the intent that this message is being sent. It is, boiled down to it's essence, simply electronic panhandling.....nothing more nothing less.

My wife and I are both college educated and employed, but find ourselves still living paycheck to paycheck. We are not poor and are not in desperate need, there are many hundreds of thousands of others that need more than us, but I can feel the weight of financial burden crushing down upon my shoulders. I do not wish to be rich, famous, or otherwise well off. But I do want to provide for my family, and to have the luxury of enjoying the day to day moments without the fear of financial uncertainty always looming overhead.

I would like to offer a glimpse into our family lives and finally get to the heart of this email....the begging. My wife holds a Master's degree and is employed as a Teacher in the Miamisburg City School district. She teaches a class of moderately to severe multiple-handicapped children. I honestly do not have a clue how she manages to do what she does. She is consistently given the most severely mentally and physically handicapped children because she has a way of reaching these children and getting more out of them than anyone thought possible. I can't count the number of times I've seen her crying as she reads an email from a parent of one of her students as the parent thanks her because they have been able to witness their child smiling and playing in the same manner as his or her typical peers would do. She truly is my hero for the gracious way that she treats these children with kindness and respect even as she comes home every day after being thrown up on, bitten, spit at, urinated on, or any other number of things that happen on a daily basis because of the severe nature of these kids' disabilities.

As for myself, my profession is not nearly as noble as my wife's, I do hold a Bachelor's degree in Material Science and Engineering. I work for a company that does research into air breathing supersonic combustion.

We have four young children, an 8 year old daughter, 5 year old son, 2 year old daughter, and a new baby boy who is only a week old.

This is the part of the message that pains me to write, and I'm not even sure how to go about it. I'm far from an eloquent wordsmith as it is, so to figure out an articulate way to beg for help, is a tough task. So, I'll just be direct and to the point. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, but the magic number that I am asking for is $60,000. That is approximately the amount that my wife and I owe in student loans for the educations that we have received. This would relieve a large amount of debt that we have accrued while trying to better ourselves and provide for our families. We don't have any other credit card debt due to extravagant overspending, as we have always tried to live within our means.

We are middle America, and we ask for your help!

Thank you for your time, and I hope that this message finds you and your family well

Panhandling grandma supporting two grand sons ages 6 and 8 on a fixed income. Needs extra money for school, clothes, help paying light and gas bill all donations greatly appreciated.

http://panhandlinggrandma.blogspot.com

We've both been on Social Security Disability for about four years now; me just a year after we bought our house, and we've been working part time from our home to supplement the SSD income because obviously SSD is not enough to keep the bills paid and keep our house.

We don't use credit cards, scrimp on every dime, shop at the outlet stores and liquidation stores to spend less. We switched phone services to Magic Jack to save hundreds on our phone bill and use our wood stove for heat to cut down on the electric bill.

2009's economy simply tanked my husband's business and put us over $15K in debt, plus put a crush on my transcription business at the same time, leaving us without our savings and driving us further in debt with the bank.

I started two new businesses last year to offset the transcription business and before everything started to fall apart, and what I really need is SALES - I need TRAFFIC to my websites and I need to sell my bookmarks to help bring us back out of debt.

My husband is still trying to get his business back but it's not looking too hopeful because the economy hasn't completely turned around.

So more than just money, I'm "cyber-begging" or "virtually panhandling" for SALES! Although donations of cash if you don't like the bookmarks are greatly appreciated too.

Visit our bookmarks site at www.wedding-favor-bookmarks.com and purchase a set of bookmarks for yourself, for a friend, for an upcoming wedding or bridal shower as favors, or simply donate to help us get our business off the ground at Donate to Wedding Favor Bookmarks Directory.

Thank you!
