Ramen Tags

I'm a single mother and a full time college student with a part time job. I make roughly 240 dollars a week. This month I paid a rent bill, electric bill, water bill, car payment, auto insurance bill, Internet bill, and had to buy baby supplies along with the normal household necessities such as dish detergent, clothes detergent, soap, toothpaste, garbage bags, ect. No problem! I usually manage to pay all of my bills by the grace of something bigger than myself. I don't know how I'm doing it. I've been doing it for over a year now by myself. I do without a luxurious cell phone and television. I have to have Internet for school. Thank God for Google and Youtube. A girl deserves more entertainment other than deciphering her 9 month old's poop to determine whether or not its lime-greenish hue comes from the peas she ate 2 days ago, or if a fungus is among us.

The thing is.. I am hungry. I am not Ethiopian starving, but I'm hungry. My last meal consisted of a pack of chicken flavored ramen noodle soup and 3 saltine crackers. The 7 meals before that consisted of the same exact thing, except I was so lucky as to add a few broccoli florets to the soup broth. I have since ran out of broccoli and ramen. All I have left in my food pantry is canned baby food, and oatmeal. I am down to drinking tap water and falling asleep at night to the borborygmus sounds that my intestines sing to me out of pure hunger. I am so very blessed to be able to pay my bills and provide for my daughter while furthering my education so that some fine day we will both be living like Princesses. I have counted each and every one of my blessings. However, food isn't among these blessings of mine. All I'm asking is for someone to treat a girl to a hot nutritious meal.

I`ve never asked for anything before, I`m usually very good about taking care of my family and keeping things in private no matter how bad they are but I`m hoping my good karma will come back to me now.
I am a stay at home mother who doesn`t just sit around eating bon-bons all day with my kid. My son is 15 months old, with Achondroplasia, which is a type of dwarfism. He got it from his father. I lost my job of 5 years December 26th 2011, because I was sick. Lost the unemployment hearing too. Since then I`ve helped out by doing survey sites and other odd jobs online, as well as housekeeping and babysitting and whatever I could in the real world.
Our son needs alot of one-on-one time. He just had head surgery April 10th and is still recovering, though he has improved drastically from it. The day we came home from the hospital, April 13th, my husband was fired for taking the 3 days off to be in the hospital with us 2 hrs upstate. He lost the unemployment hearing as well. Same boss, we both lost to him. Sucks but we have to move on.
Well then to add to the pile our landlord bailed on us. We`ve been sitting around with the rent wondering why no one has come to get it. Turns out he ran off with some woman somewhere, left half the houses to his wife to rent out, and the other half to his brother...who doesn`t want to rent. He already has a buyer too, who doesn`t want us in here.
We`re sitting on a ticking time bomb, basically hiding because we can`t afford to pay rent here and pay to get out. Our lease has been up for 3 months anyway.
Now as luck would have it we found a place, and we have half the money to get in, but the lady can`t help us out with the deposit. She`s been nice enough to hold it for us for now, but we need the money to get in.

My husband just landed a job, but he doesn`t start for another 2-3 weeks and then its mostly training. Tonight both us and the dogs had ramen noodles for dinner, and we are running out of formula for the baby..Wic isn`t available for another 3 days. We need something, anything. I`m not asking for alot, just a dollar or anything you can find in yourself to help us out. Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks.
The paypal listed is our roommates. He is currently paying all the bills himself except the rent so he can`t help put anything aside for the move.

I live with my fiancee and two dogs. Currently I am the only one working because he lost his job it is so hard to get a job in this economy. i only work part-time and get minimum wage. After getting gas and paying bills there is no money left over in my paycheck so the past few months we've been eating ramen noodles and cheap foods. It would be wonderful to get some help until we can get back on our feet. Thank you for your kindness!

That is all I eat because I get 6 top ramen for a dollar, I am soo poor I can't afford anything else. Even fruits and vegetables are a delicacy for me because they can be expensive. Please help me eat some better food, I'm going to get ramen poisoning soon. A donation in any amount will greatly appreciated, thanks.

I am a 20 year old college student who has gotten himself into some financial debt. I have a low-paying part-time job but I am not able to get more than eight hours a week. This is not enough to pay for rent, utilities, food, and school. I am in the process of getting a new job where I can get more hours, but I could really use some help financially. I do not have enough money to pay this month (December's) rent. My landlord is trying to be understanding, but if I do not come up with the money by the 23rd I will be forced to evict my apartment. My family is both very small and very poor, and unable to help. I am blessed to be able to go to school via loans, but if I do not have a place to live I will have to drop out. I have been very frugal, eating mainly Ramen for months. If I could just get this months' rent ($415) I could buy enough time to get a better (or a second) job. Please help. I am in the middle of taking my finals and I can barely handle the stress in my life right now. I greatly appreciate any amount of money you can donate. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my troubles.

I am a single mom. I have always worked hard to support myself and my children. Unfortunately, there comes a time in life when no matter how hard you try to make ends meet, you need a little help. I have always helped others in need, even if it meant giving my last dollar. I would do it without even thinking twice.

I have been out of work for a while now. I have done without food to make sure my children have food.
You would be amazed at the things you can do with Ramen Noodles if you just try.
I truly am in need of a kind soul to help with paying my bills.

I just need a little help getting back on my feet....If you can find it in your heart to donate I would be more then grateful.
Thank you for reading.

If you cannot donate for my family, find it in your heart to help or give to someone else. You never know when you will be the one in need.

My husband and I are stationed in South Korea for the US military, and we're in need of help. We leave in 7 weeks to go back to America, and although the military will be helping us, it's not going to be enough. We still have bills, and we're going to need a car, and we'll a lot of other things.

I would never ask for money online like this, but we're so desperate and scared. We're saving every penny we can and living off ramen, but the money is still all going to bills and loans.

We need around 3-5,000 for moving, and 10-13,000 for loans and bills. But honestly, I'd accept ANYTHING you're willing to donate. My birthday is in 20 days and all the money we get from that is going straight towards bills and everything.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Be safe.

I need Financial help to make my Rent this coming Month. Hopefully, it's no more than 50.00, I don't know how many more medications that I will need or cut back on,panic disorder and Agoraphobia being the main issues that I have. I don't mind eating ramen noodles or not eating at all some days, I do need to keep a roof over my head and to have my most important meds. I'm on disability, but that only goes so far. I can pay it back, 5-10.00 a Month. Thanks for considering helping me, and for your Time

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my plea.

My name is Faith and I am a Christian mother of two school aged children.

I am filled with gratitude and thanks to God for all the blessings he has given me. The greatest gifts that I have been given are my two children.

I have never reached out to anyone for help, but today I feel compelled to reach out. I have been unable to sleep or eat for months, my hair is falling out from stress and my body is covered in hives.

I know that my hands are tied, I cannot solve my financial problems on my own. I have tried, I work full time, I have been doing additional work, cleaning homes, doing paid research studies, etc. I know that God has the power to put the right people and the right circumstances in our lives to solve any problems, even if they seem impossible.

I am literally drowning in debt. It feels like I am in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and I keep going down deeper and deeper.

My son was born with Congenital Heart Disease and required Open Heart Surgery. Due to complications and financial shortcomings as a result of my son's surgery, my children and I were forced to leave our home. I found another home for us to live in. Less than a year after moving into our new home, both of my kids became very ill. My son was once again hospitalized. This time he was bleeding internally. We found out that the home we were living in was full of Stracybotrus Mold, the home was deemed uninhabitable. I was told by multiple doctors and by environmental companies that we must leave our home. I was told that I must throw away anything that I had that could not be dipped in bleach to get rid of the mold spores. I rented a large dumpster, the kind that has the stairs on the side to climb up. I literally threw away almost everything that my kids and I have ever owned. I was forced to throw away all of our mattresses, couches, pillows, stuffed animals, stuffed animals, dolls,toys, toaster, curtains, etc. Just imagine everything that you have in your home, if I can't be dipped in bleach, it had to be thrown away.

The health of my children was more important to me that any material possession, so I was OK with throwing it all away.

We are now in another home and I am struggling to replace everything that I had to throw away. I have started with beds for the kids and toys to replace what we had to throw away.

We lost everthing. We lost the money that we put down on the mold house, we lost all the money I put into the mold house trying to make it a home, we lost all of our possessions. But, we have not lost our faith or our gratitude.

I am currently about $20,000 in debt, past due on mortgage, utilities, and credit card bills.

If you can find it in your heart to donate any amount, my family would be so grateful. I really do not care about myself, I buy all my clothes at second hand stores or garage sales, I cut my own hair and eat only things that are really inexpensive like Top Ramen. What I do care about though is my kids. They have suffered enough in their short lives and I want them to feel safe, warm and secure. I have protected them from the financial storm as much as possible, but I know that they see my crying and worrying about the bills, so this is why I am asking for help.

Thank you again for reading my plea.

It just seems that all my luck has been very bad lately. I was working 2 jobs to pay for bills but got laid off of the full time job and now my car is taking a crap and I can't get enough together to fix it. I know this is a long shot but just looking to see if there is any help out there for me cuz if I lose the part time job then I can't afford to even eat as Ramen is currently my hot meal these days. I would appreciate any help I could get and as always if I get back on my feet I will pay it forward. Thank you for taking time to read this ! God Bless You !!

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!

I was recently suprised with divorce papers, for no other reason than my husband decided he wanted an open marriage that I was not in agreement with. I have always worked, but he was the main provider. I am now on my own and barely able to make ends meet. I have moved to a new town and have a new job, but I am in over my head. I am seriously eating tuna and ramen noodles every day. My car will be paid off in November, and then I should be okay. Until then, I need help. Please, if you can, help me. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. All donations will be used to pay off maxed out credit cards and past due bills. I just need some help until November. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Hello all, I need $750 US Dollars or I will be evicted. I have never been in this situation before, but this year has been a year of crisis for me.

Please someone, have mercy and donate, even if it is a $1, it will be appreciated, and I will not forget you when I am flourishing again. I know that I will be back making money soon, but for the time being, I just need a little help. Please. Again, I will not forget who donates, I will return your investment into me and the multiply it once I am back on my feet. I guarantee.

Like many wide eyed young students, I was under the impression that getting a 4 year degree would help me snag a pretty sweet job. Likewise, like many graduates, I have come to the realization that this promise is a tall tale spun by universities and lenders trying to leach off my future living funds. If I take the suggested route to pay back these student loans I will, in fact, be paying a total of $182,00 after interest attacks.

To help combat this large sum of debt (and this extra $82,000 I didn't even spend on anything) I have decided to take every possible route I can to ensure that my parents can live life knowing their daughter can afford to eat.

My first steps: I am moving to a state where I can make more money (alone and scared, but ready to pay these suckers off). I am also giving up any luxuries I once afforded myself (Ramen noodles are quickly becoming my best friend) and (as you can see) begging for money. Just $1 from 100,0000 people could knock this debt out. I am relying on my own determination as well as on the kindness of strangers.

I am also toying with the ideas of 1. faking my own death and building a raft to float to another country, 2. joining the Peace Corps, because I heard they might pay off some of your debt, or 3. becoming a stripper, because the jobs I have found so far afford less money than my last resort (which is number 3, so you know).

So, in summation, I would like to ask all you strangers out there to donate even a penny to my sad circumstance. In return for a larger sum I could draw or paint someone a pretty picture and update them as my situation progresses. I also make a wonderful pen pal. All you have to do is check out my PayPal. For a dollar a month you could help me meet the basic necessities of life (such as food and not faking my own death).

Thank you for your time.

Right now I sit after midnight,after a day of chemo and vomiting, still trying to figure out a way to pay the rent, the light bill, the car note, and my medical bills all at the same time.
My husband works 60 hours a week, but I lost my job a year ago when I got sick, and have only been a burden since I was diagnosed with a rare kind of stomach cancer.
My medical bills alone are almost more than our income WITH insurance, plus our oldest child is epileptic, which carries cost.
I really have done the math on discontinuing my treatments to try and get us out of this hole we are in. I just value the life God gave me so much, I can't throw it away. My end will come in His time, not mine. Besides, the funeral would be expensive.
We are living off ramen, behind on rent and all utilities, and if I can't begin paying the copays again my doctor is going to drop me and refer me to a charity hospital over 50 miles away that I would never be able to get back and forth to everyday. Our 3 kids are suffering, my husband is suffering, and I pray that God will show me a way, and maybe he did. I did find this website.
If you can find it in your heart to help, I know that our Lord will repay you sevenfold. Thank you so much. L

This is the first year I've been on my own. I'm not in trouble because I couldn't handle it, but because my father lost his job last spring and can't help me, and in the 18 months I've been searching for a job, the only one I've found will give me 20 hours a week at minimum wage.

My roommate and I are already moving into the cheapest apartment we could find near the University, since I have no car and the bus doesn't run during my summer classes, but the fees associated with terminating our lease have taken every last cent I have to eat on.

Just $10 could feed me for a whole week; I've gotten used to living on very little: Ramen, pasta, bread and milk. It's probably too many carbs and not enough fresh fruits and veggies, but I literally can't afford to be picky.

Anything you can spare would be an immense blessing.

Thank you so much.

So the girl I've been in love with for years has a birthday coming up, and I can't afford anything at all. Been paying off travel expenses and such, and so I've been living off of ramen for the past month or so. (Gotten to the point where I feel I'm a connoisseur of 25 cent noodles). Anyway, her birthday is in just a couple weeks and I wanna do something special. She calls me her best friend, but that's about it. So I'm hoping to "make a move" after giving her a great birthday. The problem is, I can't afford making that great day happen at the moment. Hence my being here. Endless thanks in advance.

I just need a little to hold me over until summer starts. I'm out of food, but won't be able to get anything until the semester is over and I start working. I just need a couple bucks so I can get some ramen and maybe some tuna. I've been eating ketchup for two days.

Please help.
