Post a Beg Now!

College student about to be evicted with nowhere to go

Posted by jlm814 on 2012-05-15 21:58:11

I’m a 21 year old college senior double majoring in English and Mass Communication, and I need help.

I have been living on my own for two years and working very hard (and struggling) to make it. I pay my own car note, insurance, tuition, and every other bill associated with my living expenses. This month, my rent is late and my apartment manager has already filed a notice for eviction. However, she said if I can have it paid before I’m served the papers, I won’t be evicted.

I have nowhere to go if evicted (besides my car). My friends and family are unable to help because they do not have the financial means to do so. I have pawned everything that the pawn shops will accept and sold everything that I can.

I still need a little over $700 to pay my rent and the late fee.

Even the smallest bit helps.


Thank you so much for your time, consideration, and help.

SOS!!!!! Save our Sanity!!!

This is extremely new to me.I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have to humble myself and beg for financial assistance for my Fiance' and I. We have had a constant streak of unfortunate occurences in our life. He was laid off his job a month ago. Then suddenly last week I was terminated by my job. We have lost our only vehicle which is on the border of reposession. We have been utilizing public transportation which can become unreliable to get to potential job interviews.Our rent is due next week which will be facing eviction due to lack of funds. Our utility bill is overdue and we have several disconnection notices. We have had to pawn our electrical devices such as our Television, computer and even my engagement ring which was forfeited due to non-payment. We have turned to governmental agencies and churches but the funds were always limited.
We currently have no income coming in at this time. I may have a new job but it will be too late for this month's bills and we can end up literally in the streets or in a shelter, We have no family to turn to. If you could find it in your heart to assist us financially to get us back on our feet with whatever donation you choose we will be most Grateful.....

unemployed musician would appreciate some help

I guess to begin I should say I'm not in a life or death situation but I really could use some help.

Since I graduated from university, studying music I have worked in customer service as there were not a lot of jobs available where I live, but I was laid off from my job 12 months ago and got behind with my rent by a couple of months, which landed me in £600 worth of debt on top of the debts I had accumulated as a student.

However I found a new job after a couple of months and everything seemed to be looking like it would work out but after a month of working there I had to take 2 days off sick and my new employer decided to terminate my employment. I went back to applying for jobs and selling my stuff to pawn shops to try and make ends meet, receiving benefits but although I could eat and keep a roof over my head I couldn't pay off my outstanding rent.

Then after a few months of looking for work I was helping my mum's friend out with some heavy lifting and helping with her garden work as she lives alone and ended up with a really bad inguinal hernia which left me incapacitated until I could get surgery, I had the surgery which fixed the problem but the surgeon advised me the hernia was a very large one and they had to make a 7 inch incision in order to be able to remove it which left me bedridden for a couple of weeks after.

Then the worst thing happened, I was offered an interview for my dream job a few days after my surgery, I explained my situation and told the employer how much I wanted this job but they said they were really sorry but they needed someone immediately and could not wait.

One of my friends told me about these websites where people help out people in bad money situations. So I guess I'm hoping someone can see fit to help me because I'm not doing too well resolving my problems alone.

My plan is to try and get as much of the £600 rent I owe so I can pay my rent off and re-locate as jobs are so scarce where I live.
I spoke to my landlord and asked if I could move out to re-locate and pay them back when I get a job but they said they're sorry but I need to pay up to date before I move out, so I'm stuck here with no job prospects, I can't just leave owing them this money and run away from the debt because I feel I am a moral and generally decent person and after the understanding and patience they have shown me in putting up with this situation for a year, running out on them would be a disgraceful thing to do to them.

Thank you for reading this and if you can help me sort myself out I will be eternally grateful to you

Help to restart woodworking business

Posted by Jjcold417 on 2012-01-03 23:58:50

Hello, my name is Jim and i'm a teacher by trade. I also own a small woodworking business. We (my son and I) build adirondack chairs planter boxes and patio furniture. This business is my passion, but like so many today I have fallen on hard times. My dog needed emergency surgery last winter to the tune of $5,000 and that, combined with other things wiped me out! I had to sell or pawn most (pretty much all) oft tools to pay the vet bill. My beloved dog didn't make it and we are still on pain for that. I would love to get back to woodworking, but need help to re-tool. I need at least $4000 to get back in business. Thank you for reading my story and God bless! Any amount you could send would be so appreciated.

I've been out of work since the 3rd wk of march 2007. I have a wife and 3 kids ages 12-14-15 {boy-girl-boy} theres no work in extreme N.GA at all and i have had my life threatened and dodged beer bottles on several accounts while holding an aweful humiliating sign ! Lost truck to title pawn, filed for disability, behind on rent, bills, kids need winter clothes and i really legitimately need help. I used to run a small corp. for the people that owned it and we went under with the construction crash. I been hanging in there for a long time with help and faith in the good lord. Its no picnic holding a will work for food sign in the heart of "REDNECK U.S.A" Just use your imagination and you will come close to understanding what i mean ! I'm afraid that our family bonds with one another are getting strained to the limits unless something happens soon. If this site works at all and there is anyone out there that can help at all in any way, please have a heart, thank you and god bless !!!

Single mother needing food for family

Posted by JMB5714 on 2011-07-17 04:58:48

I am a single mother and grandmother. Both my daughter and grandchild live in the home with me. I work night shift so I can take care of my grandchild while my daughter goes to school and works(and she barely makes enough for her gas and diapers for the baby). We can't afford childcare, and being the baby can't speak in sentences we don't want her in daycare anyware.

Because I care for my grandchild during the day I can't get another job to help with expenses. Currently all of my check goes to rent, my car expenses so I can get to and from work, and my lights. After that I have nothing left over for food, usually just enough for about a weeks worth of Ramen noodles and some snacks for the baby.

I've pawned everything I can pawn. I have 1 television left, and that is what my grandbaby watches PBS on....so I can't pawn that! I'm losing my furniture this week...but thats neither here nor there, my concern is what is my family going to eat tomorrow. I can stand to lose a few pounds, but how can I look at them, especially a 2yr old, knowing they're hungry!

I also have to take our dog to the shelter because she's hungry as well. She has only had scraps from what little bit of food we had....I can't feed her either.

It's so embarrassing to be in this kind of situation. I look at my coworkers and wonder if they realize I'm skipping meals, that I have hunger headaches.

Anyhelp that anyone can give me would be so appreciated. $1 can buy almost 6 packs of Ramen noodles at Walmart! That would seem like a Thanksgiving feast right now.

Thanks for anything that you can do!

About to be homeless

Posted by Charley970 on 2011-07-14 08:58:47

I am writing this because I literally have nowhere else to turn to. I have been out of work for a long time and the bills have piled up. Finally I got a job, but Im about to lose it because my truck is about to be repossessed because Im behind on the payments, and I need it for work. Unfortunately, I haven t been working long enough to collect unemployment. If I lose my job I ll be on the streets as early as next month, thousands in debt with no income and no prospects. It has gotten to the point where Ive had to pawn my stuff off just to try and pay some of the bills, now the only thing I have left of any value is my truck and Im about lose it. But the worst part is my parents who are in their sixties have been evicted are going to be kicked out of where they live next month and Im all they have. So if Im on the street next month my parents will be right there with me. With that said, anything you can give helps, thanks for reading this and God bless you.

Really?

Posted by Carltong on 2011-07-10 12:58:25

I'm searching and praying here now and came across this site. I cannot believe it, It seems to be my last chance as I have a twenty dollar bill in front of me and I owe my landlord 80 more by the 15th.
I have been out of work and have been doing some contract work but nothing much in my area.

I'm 46 and never thought I would have been in this situation in my life. My savings have dried up, I can not bring my self to ask my family for any more help as he is retired(my Dad) and he has helped me.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.:(

If I cant stay afloat I will lose everything and all I really own is my car and some tools, clothes,etc. I have sold everything of value via eBay ,pawn shops or Craigslist. I do not want to do an auto pawn as that is bad news.

I will pay back everything donated or if anyone would have a loan agreement I would owe you everything.... :)

Please please if I have touched you in someway Please help me

Sincerely

Carlton

The end of my rope

Posted by ronland on 2011-06-25 03:58:16

I can't believe it has come down to this. I work in the oilfield and I make very good money when i work. Unfortunately, with the drilling moratorium that was past directly affected my work. While I was still employed there was no work to be had from my company. I have exhausted my ability to borrow from my 401 and all family and friends. I am one payment away from my home being repossessed. My wife works, but we just cant catch up. We try to stay upbeat for my three kids, but the older ones do know that something is amiss. I have ever gone to the dreaded payday loans, which just adds to more out of what pay i do get. The pawn shop gets regular visits form us, but not much anymore, there isn't much of value left to sell. I know i really don't have a chance of anyone actually helping me, but I guess I just needed to vent, it doesn't go well if you actually cry in the offshore oil industry. Thanks for listening. If you can help, God Bless You, really..

Please help me with my rent

Posted by teejaycee on 2011-06-16 21:58:00

I am a single mom of two children and was unemployed for 3 months. I recently got a new job, but the unemployment did not cover barely anything. I am behind on my mortgage and I have been struggling so hard but I am hopelessly behind.

Your help could get me back on track. I have nothing to pawn, I have never received child support, I have struggled with my children for so long and then I lost my job. It was not my fault, the company failed, I tried so hard to find a job and it took me 3 months, and then with them holding back on my paycheck 4 months before I received a normal paycheck.

I am hoping that some kind souls will help me, I am facing a foreclosure, my parents have both passed away, I have no where to turn and I don't know what else to do.

If I had $818.00 for my rent, I would be back on track.
Hi, I am writing to see if there is anyone out there willing to help me and my family out with a one time loan. We will repay it. Until 5 days ago, we lived in Florida. My husband was hurt on the job back in November of 2010 and has been waiting on a Workman's Comp settlement (scheduled to be resolved on July 18, 2011); as such, he has not been able to work. We lost everything. My aunt helped us with the down payment for a 1998 cargo van so we could load up what little we have left and drive back to Michigan where my husband's family lives. They promised to help us but, now that we're here they refuse to do anything. We are staying in a cheap hotel and my husband and I are picking up scrap and turning it in everyday just to pay for the hotel room. All I'm looking for is a little help. I promise once my husband gets his Workman's Compensation settlement we will repay it. What we need is as follows: $450.00 to pay the insurance on our van and the car payment, $700.00 rent and $700.00 security to move into a house, $189.00 to pay for my husand's plane ticket to go back for his court date in July, and $349.00 to get my mother's wedding rings out of hock (I don't care about mine) but, we had to pawn both of our sets to pay for the gas to get us back to Michigan. If you add it up, I'm asking for a loan of $2,388.00. I swear I will repay it. I don't have a PayPal account so, if anyone is willing to help I'm not sure how it could happen but, I'm trying anything and everything to save my family. I know in my heart that once my husband gets his settlement we will be able to begin rebuilding our lives and pay back whoever is willing to help us after reading this.

I thank you so much for reading this.

Need $400 by May 1

Posted by pmburk on 2011-04-26 13:58:14

I am in desperate need of $400 to make my rent on May 1. Due to an emergency car repair, I'm now short. I've paid the rest of my bills, I have a normal full-time job I've held for 13 years... but I have no way to come up with this $400. I have never asked for money online before. I have no family to go to. I've tried going to the pawn shop, and I can't get enough because I don't have enough items of big value. I tried online payday loans but due to having a couple of previous NSFs on my bank statement, I can't get approved for those. I am a graphic designer and I would be happy to help someone with work for assisting me. I just cannot believe I am in this situation. I hope someone will help me, even a little.

Working Mom w/IRS Garnishment - About to be Evicted...

Posted by lmb219 on 2011-04-07 14:58:17

Hello...

This has got to be the most humbling, humiliating experience ever. I just spent days creating a free website, not even knowing a site like this existed...Arrgghh!!!! Story of my life! Anyways, if you want the full gist of our story, please go to http://payitforwardtoday.webs.com. I'll try to be brief here. I figure if I'm going to ask total strangers for help, they have a right to know a little (or a lot!) about who they are helping. We are a family of 4 (plus our little Mini Daschund, who we'll call "Puppers" for the sake of privacy!) that have fallen on really hard times. We are not looking for hand outs; we are looking for a hand up! If you think it's not seriously earth shattering to realize that the best and only hope you have left is to air your dirty laundry to the world, and hope someone shows up with some detergent, then I really hope you never go through anything like this. I wouldn't wish our situation on my worst enemy on their worst day. It is truly soul crushing.

I am a wife and mother of 2 children, ages 9 and 21. Long and short of it, my oldest struggled A LOT. He was expelled from his school, and I forced him into the only other school that would take him, made him go every day until the time he got arrested. I picked up his diploma for him at his school, as he was in jail and couldn't go get it, but I am, to this day, glad that he has that diploma, and now, 4 years later, so is he. He was diagnosed as Bi-Polar while incarcerated, and mental can be so much tougher to deal with than physical. I'll always wish I had known the exact right point where his road changed to the one he travelled, and stopped it before it started. Now he is going to be a father himself, and all I can do is believe things will be ok (and wait anxiously to kiss all over my new Grandchild!!!!)

I got into trouble by with the IRS by filing taxes with my ex-husband for a couple of years. I didn't know any better, and though we were only married for a few years, and eventually had to part ways, his neglect to file or claim anything has haunted me for years. As I continued to work legitimately, his interest and penalties grew, and since the debt was considered uncollectible from him, the IRS opted to come after me. I was a single mother, unable to get child support, and losing my tax refunds to the IRS. When I reached 30, I met my current husband.

My husband has always been a hard worker, but he too has had his share of bad luck. He is a recovering alcoholic with 11 years of sobriety under his belt. His favorite catch phrase is "I'm the hardest working broke guy I know!", and it's so true. He is CONSTANTLY going; making phone calls, doing estimates, meeting with people to try to network and pick up more business. He does great work, and has had to really struggle to get his licenses, and maintain the insurances required to operate his business. He is in construction, and has had his own business (along with his partner) for about 5 years now. The past year has shown devastating loss. Basically, 9 out of 10 jobs have paid just enough to pay his 4 employees, and he and his partner end up taking home less than their employees. They are also having a hard time competing with "fly by night" construction companies who come in, promise the world for pennies on the dollar, and when they have problems a year later, the company is nowhere to be found. It's a constant battle to convince people that your workmanship and the warranty that backs it up, in addition to being a local contractor for 25+ years with a stellar reputation is worth it's weight in gold.

I am working at a really decent company now, and was thrilled to get my foot in the door. I wasn't there a month before the IRS decided to garnish my wages. Now, instead of the $500+ I would be taking home each week, I am bringing home a meager $123 per week. This has been our sole income for many weeks now, and after reviewing all of my paperwork, it appears the IRS feels I owe them in excess of $50,000!!!! This does NOT include the state taxes, which haven't caught up with me yet, but I'm sure they will. So, I have decided to stay working, even though unemployment would pay me more, because jobs are tough to come by. However, it's impossible trying to run a family by borrowing money from everyone we know, and no way to pay it back, because the money we bring in doesn't even pay the bills, the rent...it barely covers the groceries.

Can I add one more thing here? My husband, who's job is primarily getting up on a roof every day, was recently diagnosed with Vertigo. He can't drive right now, and even if jobs come in, he can't get on a roof anytime soon either. Reading through what I've written, I'm thinking to myself "I would SO think this is fake if I were reading it". I assure you, it's not. I'm not looking to bilk money from anyone, and I'm not promising anything to you in return. The only thing I AM promising is that you would honestly be helping a family in need. I know there are people worse off than us, and I thank GOD every day that I got to wake up in the morning, and that I have a family to love, and that loves me. I hope you never know how painful it is to tell your daughter that she can't go to gymnastics this time around because we don't have the money. I hope you never have to sleep on someones' couch with your child because your electricity is off, and you can't find anything valuable enough to pawn so you can pay it. I hope you never have to look in your husbands' eyes and see the pain and humiliation there because he feels he has failed your family. None of these things are things we asked to happen, but they all did. Could we have done anything differently? Sure. But who out there reading this right now has always chosen the right path? Who has NOT made errors along the way?

We are not looking to get rich. We are looking for a helping hand. We have always helped others when we have been able to, and are hoping there are others like us out there that feel the same. My primary goal is to collect enough to retain a tax attorney to help negotiate a settlement for me, so that I can finally contribute to my family, and take some pressure off of my husband. I am also hoping to pay off some utility bills we still owe, and March and Aprils' rent. That's it. Just looking to keep the little roof we rent over our heads. If we are able to get back on our feet, we'd like to pay it forward ourselves...one person, one family at a time.

Thanks for listening to the story of a stranger, and if you've got even a dollar or 2 to spare, we'd be really grateful. I'm sorry this is all over the map, but I'm not a writer, nor even a college grad. I'm a regular person fallen on hard times, and doing anything I can to get some help for my family.

Peace.

please help. i trully need it.

i need 2000.00 u.s. dollars, to get me yet another month into the madness that has become my existence. money is gone. help through family has run out. social service agencies are helping as best they can. my disability is very complex and difficult. traumatic brain injuries are far more misunderstood and under-estimated than, multiple fractures,lacerations and nerve damage to the human body combined. i personally know this as fact. i lived through being hit head on by a tractor trailor. that was six long gruelling years ago. ive tried very very hard for as long as possible, to carry on with my life since. i have not much more stamina left. im tired. ive filed for disability. and of course. its going to be another battle to survive. i have no health care. no income. and certainly cannot afford to see the doctors that i need to further prove my case. ive seen their doctors, who did not dispute my conditions. yet lawyers cannot use their doctors against them. so im stuck trying to find a free clinical psychologist to help. i havent found one yet. and lutheran social services will not write a report to the social security administation for disability determination. i cant even get state medicaid without one. im doing everything im told to do. and its just taking to long. the things i need are not free at the walk in clinic. the person responsible for causing the mishap i was involved in, died and had no insurance. the small settlement i recieved came from workmans compensation. i was driving a company vehicle and on the clock. so at least my bills got paid. but they dont pay out large awards, and a good deal of what i did get was lost in 07 when the stock market tumbled badly and my managed investment account bellied up. im divorced,single, and 53 years old. i see no light at the end of this tunnel. i am, or was a good carpenter. the tools of my trade are in different pawn shops in this city. its been my poor mans bank, trying to get by and through this. they are all i have left of all the years ive worked. id love to get them back and not lose yet more of my livelyhood. 2000.00 dollars would bring my tools home, pay a couple utility bills and get me some food for my parrot[macaw] and some new socks and cleaning products. i really am broke. my kids help me as much as they can. thats very humiliating to me. i just want what ive paid into. its not my fault, or wish to get it this soon. theres so much more to this story. someone post back to me. i can show proof of everything ive stated. im not a scammer,derelict or otherwise dishonest. im begining to think ive been to damn honest. i need immediate help. i dont have a paypal account. yet my son does. god bless anyone who reads this, and at least thinks of learning more. i died and was revived, with not much chance of survival. but i made it. sometimes i wonder why.
I have nothing left, thousand of dollars have been lost because I could not keep up with my pawn payments. I am going to be homeless in days and lose the love of my life. Please help me I will do anything. I need anything you can give. Even 1 quarter would help, please I am desperate, i will write a contract for repayment for anyone willing to loan me money. contact mcconvillesean@gmail.com thankyou.
