Need help to turn life around.....
Posted by tonietoon12 on 2012-02-08 13:58:14
I am 32 and currently unemployed. Got a lot of debt, a wife and a daughter. I am not asking for help to pay of debt, i need roughly 1000 dollars for a course that also provides job placement, meaning I can work hard and pay of my own debt. Please help me to just raise enough to do this course in fresh meat processing technician. Thank you and God bless
Losing House
Posted by GregSell on 2012-02-06 16:58:39
I am unemployed and the government wants my house.
The property tax is behind by $1,300. My past employer isn't paying me the $900 she owes. She said it won't be an issue - it is now because the deadline has past.
I don't have unemployment left to use. What jobs I do get don't last long. I am listed with 14 placement job companies.
I have a pacemaker that limits physical jobs.
Please assist me:

Trainee Teacher - money for books and help with additional costs during placement
Posted by Wicked17 on 2012-01-26 03:58:52
Hi,
I am a trainee teacher at university. I am also a mum of 3 with 2 step children. I work in school as a teaching assistant to supplement my university costs as well as to gain useful knowledge for my course. As an older student, with other commitments my course follows the part-time progression route and will take me 4.5 years to complete as opposed to the standard 3 years. This means that my cost extend for an additional 18 months and whilst I love my training, current job and am excited about my future career prospects, as with most things money can be an issue and at times is very tight indeed.
I am due to start placement on the 6th February and this will inevitable incur additional costs. If possible, I would be really grateful for any donation, whatever the size, to ease my mind during this time.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and for your donation should you chose to leave one.
Claire

unbreak my heart....
Posted by brokenhearted on 2012-01-20 17:58:04
I've decided to try and get help through donations http://www.giveforward.com/unbreakmyheart and funding http://unbreakmyheart2011.blogspot.com/from outside sources since every doctor I've seen in 2 years agree that I need the leads to my ICD (defibrillator) replaced; but shuffle me back to the original doctor and wash their hands of me.
I'm raising funds for ICD replacement surgery, to go see a HOCM specialist (Dr. Craig Asher) at Cleveland Clinic in S. Florida and to have advanced testing through Vanderbilt Autonomic Center in Tennessee.
I don't want to admit I need help; I've always been a strong, independent person who took care of everything and everyone. In August 2009, my whole world changed. After my procedure, I applied for disability and was turned down twice and had to hire an attorney. I went from being "super" mom, wife & friend and care taker of an Autistic son to being the one who had to be taken care of.
So how did I get to the point I have to ask others for help? Shortly before Father's Day 2009, I fell and broke my foot. When it didn't heal, I went to my primary with a broken foot and came out with a broken heart. After the shock wore off from the doctor telling me that I was going to die if I didn't have valve surgery; I started asking questions.
I didn't quite believe him and thought he was over reacting when he told me I was going to die because I walked and ran 3-5 times weekly and even did strenuous yard work. I felt fine and have 4 children aged 9-26 and kept up with them and stayed very active in things they did; but I was a ticking time bomb just waiting for the right time for my heart to stop.
He sent me to several specialists who said I had nothing really wrong, just some mild valve problems associated with aging; which was a huge relief. Everything seemed normal except my EKG's; they showed I had a huge amount of PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) roughly 50,000 âextraâ heartbeats daily.
My heart didn't really beat fully; it only quivered like a bowl of jello day in day out. The problem with it beating like this is, the heart becomes very ineffective at pumping and your cardiac output drops and heart muscle damage can occur.
The cardiologist and electrophysiologist I saw did extensive testing and recommended more testing in the hospital. I went in for a sleep study, Tilt table test and EP Study with Ablation. The sleep study revealed I had moderately severe sleep apnea and my oxygen goes from 99% down to 73% at night making it very dangerous for me when I sleep.
The tilt table test was the first inkling that something dangerous was going on inside. I fainted and had no palpable pulse; which is a very rare thing to happen. I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia - Neurocardiogenic Syncope and Orthostatic Intolerance.
I then had an ablation to burn the extra pathways in my heart and get rid of the pvc's I was living with daily. I was told this would be a relatively easy process and given a 95% success rate to get rid of the extra beats completely but it never crossed my mind that anything would happen.
What preliminary tests failed to show, is the pattern and origin of my arrhythmias were in a very dangerous spot to ablate - the RV Apex â in the bottom thin underside of the heart.
During the EP Study, I went into cardiac arrest and my heart stopped completely with no rhythm they could shock (Asystole), some how it started again for a few minutes but then stopped again. They were able to shock me back to normal sinus rhythm and luckily, the third time it stopped; it restarted on it's own so I didn't have to be shocked again.
I was diagnosed with Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia; a very dangerous, life threatening arrhythmia. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days trying to find a cause and to be prepped for an ICD (implantable cardiac defibrillator).
It took a cardiac catherization to finally find the problem and to show I had HOCM (obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and internal high pressures in my valves.
My regular EP had to go out of town after the first procedure, so his partner had to do the implant; he wasn't as skilled as my regular dr and botched the lead implants.
When they checked the leads the next day before releasing me, they found a problem with the lead placement but the dr said it was "ok" and sent me home. Since then, I've had nothing but problems with the unit and been told by several other EP's I need to have the leads replaced and the ICD could be causing part of my problems.
Doctors think my other problems are related to HOCM (obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and Autonomic nervous system failure and when I faint, my heart stops briefly causing damage each time this happens.
After the procedure, my body started failing from the damage it sustained the 4 times my heart stopped. My original cardiologist told me I would be in a wheel chair and totally dependent on others for everything by the time I'm 50; which is daunting because in March I'll be 45 and I can't deny the facts - my body is failing.
I was put on 10,000g sodium daily, water/fluid loading, Midodrine (insurance won't cover it $312 - 30 day supply), Propanolol, Pantoprazole, pain meds, suppression hose and binders as well as having to stay supine the majority of the day - which caused my heart failure to worsen and my EF (ejection fraction) to go down.
Nothing the doctor's have tried has helped, I still faint and my heart stops on a daily basis and I never know from one day to the next if something is going to trigger fluid build up and I have an acute attack.
In June 2011 I fainted falling into the side of my tiled tub, lacerating the side of my head in the process, severely sprained my neck and suffered a concussion. After that episode, I became a bit more cautious with every move I make because the dr found declining neurological functioning and mild brain damage; he said any more falls could lead to permanent major brain damage.
With so many previous medical bills and co-pays, I can't afford the 20% co-insurance to have my ICD replaced and Mayo Clinic wants a $5,000 deposit up front even with insurance. My ICD alone is $125,000, leads another $30,000 and then there's the doctor and hospital fees; which I won't know the cost until the procedure is done.
Each heart rhythm specialist and cardiologist I see tell me there is nothing more they can do after going over my history and treatments; I have a long hard fight to go and I have to just be thankful each day I'm alive. Some days I'm really glad I made it through, other days when the problems and pain take over; I wish the dr's had let me die.
I developed PTSD after the procedure, panic disorder and extreme agoraphobia. I went into such a deep depression over my health issues, I was afraid I would never see the lighter side of things again. I finally went to see a psychologist who prescribed Lamictal and diagnosed me with Bi-Polar disorder which has helped greatly but I still struggle on a daily basis.
One day we were just the ânormalâ every day family and the toughest thing we had to deal with is a child with Autism. Then; our whole lives changed in an instant we were dealing with mounting medical bills, expensive prescriptions, tests, appointments, loss of income and dealing with the possibility of death on a daily basis.
You just never know what the day may bring, so keep those you love close to you and never take one second for granted.
From the bottom of my heart thank you - even if it's support to say hey; I'm here if you need to talk or I know how you're feeling.

One day we were just the ânormalâ every day family and the toughest thing we had to deal with is a child with Autism. Then; our whole lives changed in an instant we were dealing with mounting medical bills, expensive prescriptions, tests, appointments, loss of income and dealing with the possibility of death on a daily basis.
You just never know what the day may bring, so keep those you love close to you and never take one second for granted.
From the bottom of my heart thank you - even if it's support to say hey; I'm here if you need to talk or I know how you're feeling.

I used to work for the local newspaper for nearly 15 years. They shut down the press.
My skills are thus limited and I am 54 years old with a pacemaker.
My area is RV based and I have no usable skills in the trade. I do have a chauffeur's license, but again I a still unemployed.
I am listed with 13 job placement companies.
Please assist me to save home. I am 3 payments behind and government is looking to sell it.

help me and my mentally ill child buy a car
Posted by smiler2 on 2011-10-03 08:58:14
A year ago I was made redundant, leaving me with debts and my son of 13 to cope alone. I was unable to get a full time job due to my commitment to my son and helping him with school,as he is autistic and has adhd, I get very little help for him and have always coped alone. But in order to pay some of my debts and keep food on the table, I had to sell my car 6 months ago. my son is now settled in a new placement but we still have large debts and I am unable to travel with him as his placement is on a farm, this means we have to pay for taxi's as no buses go there, the education dept are making it difficult for us to afford this and it would work our cheaper for me to buy a car and take him, I know this would be less stressful for him and we are not asking for a expensive car, a small second hand one would be so helpful and so appreciated by us both.
Unemployed for 7 months and URGENTLY needs help.
Posted by begu2011 on 2011-08-07 07:58:44
I'm struggling to find a job in London for 7 months and I tried everything from applying for a care work to cash in hand such as cleaning jobs but it was unsuccessful because I failed because I didn't met the employers requirements.
Before, I applied in one health care agency and they promised that they can offer shifts anywhere in London. I really did my best to meet their requirements like undergo a lot of trainings, health and CRB checks and of course all of those things needs a payment. After I met those requirements and already registered in this agency, I asked them if they can already give me a shift and then they told me that they don't have any vacancies for care workers in London at the moment. NHS and Nursing homes cut their employees because of crisis. I know that this is happening but they must do something about for their staff's work placement. I trusted them because they are affiliated different agencies so they can cater all the applicants everywhere but it all went wrong.
After hearing the agency's explanation,it was like oh my God! I should have spend my money in applying in other care homes or home care agencies that requires no or less application fees and I felt almost crying and I felt that I don't have anywhere to go because I can't afford to pay for my expenses like rent, food, phone credits and expenses to support my studies. All of my savings just went in job searching and I cannot ask for public funds and support in UK because I'm not a UK citizen and I'm only a student.
I'm really eager to finish what I have started in UK and I don't want to return to my home country yet and bring shame to my family. I was hoping that the qualification and experiences that I have gain in the UK will give a lot of opportunities when I return to my country. I don't want to leave it undone.
I have already a lot of debts and I ask for financial help to some of friends and I'm really embarrassed when I'm asking for money from them. I know that they prioritize their families and themselves first and they are not always there to help me.
Until now I still fighting to have a job in UK and would not resort to any illegal activities. I hope that there is still a chance for me and hoping that there some kind people that will offer me help either a job or donation.
Thank you.

Paying it Foward Part II
Posted by EconVictim on 2011-07-03 14:58:02
I have another beg in the "General Begs for Help" section which fleshes out the details of my dire situation. That being said, I'm desperately in need of a kickstart to my career.
I'm a 28 year old double bachelor's graduate struggling to find work due to "lack of experience." Both degrees (Finance w/minor in Economics, and Accounting) are finished with honors. I've been in Advanced Placement courses throughout High School and show strong academic prowess. I've had internships at reputable institutions such as Merrill Lynch. I learn quickly and I'm talented with Microsoft Excel.
I'm looking for any type of Accounting or Finance work with the exception of Sales. Give me a shot and you won't be disappointed. I'm talented, hard working, and hungry!

School Loans
Posted by prattej on 2011-04-27 17:58:45
I graduated with my Bachelors degree about a year ago. I was told that the school offered placement assistance but no one wants to hire someone directly out of school. I have a family and a full time night job but paying bills is tough enough and my student loans haven't even started. Please help before my families lives are affected. I owe 56,000 and the payment is scheduled to be 500 a month. I dont know of anyone that can afford this.
Family of 4 looking for a hand up, not a hand out.
Posted by forever8288 on 2011-04-20 04:58:08
My husband and I have been together for 3 years now. Since we first got together we have had to move 6 times in 4 different cities. We have went through one rental contract after another, moving once each contract was up. Each time, having to find new jobs in a new area. This has taken a major toll on our family in the sense of having no stability. We moved into a new home back in November, a home that the owner's agreed to sell to us for CFD. Finally feeling as though we have some security and structure, we became comfortable, only to find out at the end of last month that the owners now want to sell it outright. We do not have the credit or job history to get a loan through any bank or lender. This is once again leaving us with no place to call home. And with it being such short notice, we had little time to try to make new arrangements. Now we have to move ourselves and our 2 young children in with my parents until we can get our feet on solid ground again. This is going to mean the four of us living in a single room that used to be a 2 car garage. This disappointing news was made worse by me losing my job 2 weeks ago once it was discovered that we would be relocating far away. My husband was let go from his place of work back in January after missing too many days after his brother was killed in a car accident. 4 months into the new year has only brought us sadness and disappointment, and I am to the point of putting any small bit of pride I had aside and asking for help. We are a younger couple who want nothing more than to provide a nice, safe, secure home for our children. We don't drink, do drugs or party. We have always earned our living the honest hardworking way, and we continue to wait to see that come through for us. We are both actively looking for work,filling out applications, sending in resumes and contacting work placement places constantly. We just need that jump start to get us settled into a permanent home. Because, it is extremely hard to keep a job when you have to constantly move. If you are able to help in any way, be it by donation or job placement, we would greatly appreciate it and would like for you to send a message with an email address so we can thank you personally. As far as our experience, I have 5 years' clerical experience including medical and have completed my generals in college with top grades, and my husband has done work restoring car exteriors and graphics/paint along with some mechanical work and random clerk positions, as well as labor/factory work. Please help us make a stable home for our two wonderful kids, who deserve that and so much more! Thank you!
REQUIRED MONEY FOR STARTING MY OWN PLACEMENT CONSULTANCY

Help my mum live to be a hundred.
Posted by GFMMathews on 2010-09-08 11:58:58
I am writing to you for some financial assistance. My mother who is 96 years old had a fall and broke her hip bone. She was required to perform a joint re-placement surgery which was done successfully at considerable cost. Post surgery she needs physiotherapy and physical assistance round the clock to perform her daily chores.
My insurance does not cover those members over 80 years of age. I had borrowed heavily to conduct the surgery and continued to do so to meet the post surgery expenses. I am heavily in debt and sinking financially. If I cannot raise some funds I will no longer be able to meet her monthly expenses on the salary that I receive.
I am requesting you for any assistance you can offer, whether it be financial or just some kind words. You can contact me at gfmmathews@gmail.com. If necessary, I can provide all hospital bills etc.
I understand that you probably receive many requests like this one on a daily basis, so I truly understand if you are unable to be of any assistance to me.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm Regards,
Gerard.
