Me my sister and she husband live in rented house, where we share expenses. Recently we found out that my brother in law (my sister’s husband) is dieing of lung cancer . at this point treatment is not an option .all that can be done is keep him as comfortable as is possible until the end .which will not be long from what I am seeing, dr told us it a matter of days now. when he finally goes this will leave a problem . we split the expenses and with out his help I and my sister will not have the money to keep a roof over our heads . so I am posting this to get raise funds to help pays the bills and hopefully keep a roof over my and my sisters head. plus pay the costs of the funeral .

Sitting here trying to think of how to start this "beg" my mind does a fast playback of the last 5 years which seems to find me sitting here trying to think of how to start this "beg".

To type it all out would be exhausting, depressing and most importantly, a total disregard of your time. I will try to keep this as short and to the point as possible.

Five years ago my stepfather and mother were forced out of the home they had rented for 15 years after the real estate market came to a halt. My stepfather had always been very successful in commercial real estate but unfortunately did not save or invest for the proverbial "Rainy Day".

Totally in the dark, my mom continued spending money on daily needs and wants unaware that the essentials such as utilities and rent were not being paid. After realizing that my stepfather had no monies coming in and facing eviction she called me asking if I could help out by loaning them enough money to pay back rent and past due utility bills. Yes, I realize what most of you are thinking and I wholeheartedly agree but I was assured that one of John's deals would be closing within the next couple of months at which time the money borrowed would be repaid.

Needless to say the deal fell through and my money has not been repaid and what started out as a $5,000 loan from credit cards has more than doubled when factoring in all of the payments I have made and continue to make plus the mounting interest charges. They are now in their seventies with health issues and living month to month on social security.

The reality is that I will never see my money and will probably be paying for a very long time. Some people I suppose would file a lawsuit which for me is simply out of the question for 2 reasons. (1.) I love my mom dearly and I try to look at it as payment for the years she spent raising, doctoring, feeding, clothing and housing me. The second reason is obvious. Blood cannot be extracted from a turnip.

I know that there are a lot of people in much worse shape than I am in right now and I am employed, however I am now 5 months behind on what is called an upside down mortgage which I am trying to hold onto at least until home values come back. I would be more than happy to sell it for what I owe but there are major repairs (the roof being top priority) which have to be made before I can even hope to sell.
My goal is to pay off the credit card debt and if Bank of America doesn't foreclose on my house I hope to make the need repairs so I can at least sell for what I owe and then rent a small affordable apartment or house. Please... Any help that you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank You & God Bess!

I need help asap. I rented a place from a scumbag 2 weeks ago who unknown to me had already sold the home. I went looking for help with this situation through various social services, etc. I was told I needed an eviction notice from the landlord who kept my deposit and won't return it. I have just found out that the supposed landlord doesn't even own the property and is harassing and threatening me to move out. The police have been notified and I obtained legal aid to try to get to the bottom of this. I have found another apartment but because this scumbag will not return my money I need a first month's rent deposit and moving costs of about $600.00. I want to get out of here as soon as possible because the situation with me and this person is really bad and could be very ugly. He comes in my home when ready and has taken things, even the dog's dog food can you believe it. Can someone please help me I don't feel comfortable here and have no place else to go. Anything will help. Thanks!

I have always been told to think big and big things will happen. Give up and there is no hope. So here is goes...My mother recently has had a stroke. I have always rented and she has always dreamed of me owning my own home. This is what Mom has dreamed for me for many years. I would like to fulfill her wish especially after her recent stroke. Seems like I have always been stuck with low paying jobs or I had money saved up for a downpayment and something would happen I would have to use the money for something else. So, I know it's a big dream but I gotta take the chance anyway to find out. I know it's a bit crazy but I can't give up on Mom and I's dream.

Hi; I am a USAF Vet. I am still fighting to get my benefits which landed me to living out of a truck. Eventually I came home with my mother but now Ive caused her to struggle. My bills are piled up and the rent is backed up. thought since i had something saved id move so my mom wouldn't struggle and i gave the deposit of $3000 for an apartment found off craigslist come to find out he had "rented" it to me and 3 other tenants and now he's nowhere to be found.Used a different name for all of us. tried for a payday advance got scammed out of $150. If anyone can truly find it in their hearts to help me get caught up give my mother something to catch her up on her rent and make it back to where I ill be given work Id be grateful. Ill even work for it ill do ANYTHING and i mean ANYTHING! Ive been scammed hurt abused and used to where I dont know what to do anymore.
We risk everything to defend this country but when it comes to being there for us this country isn't there for us.
Even if someone can spare half the money or something at minimum $750 for the rent please. Anyone?

My friends are getting married in Hawai'i this summer. I wasn't planning on going, but then my house was flooded in September and I lost everything. Not only did they rescue me from the powerless, waterless hotel I was stuck in for two days, they helped with the cleaning out and gutting of the house, let me live with them until my house was livable, not only put up with but embraced my needy dog, and unofficially adopted me as a member of his family (soon to be hers as well!)

As they refused to take any payment from me, or any other form of thank you other than words, I feel that attending their wedding in July is my way of showing gratitude, by supporting them as they combine their worlds as one legally. Airfare will be the worst of the expenses, they have rented a house for guests and so this has lowered the hotel cost, and 3 friends and I will be sharing the cost of a rental car. Please help me make the 10 hour long flight a little easier to bear!

Please state is terrible. I have a son (2) I lost my job, my husband also. We live in very impoverished country in Europe (Serbia). We need assistance to survive until we find a job. There are days when we do not have anything to eat. We live in a rented house, the owner of forcing us out. because we currently do not earn money. People are scared, many remain jobless. We are young (27) and (30). The chances are higher but is also minimal because to the situation in the country. Help as much as you can, every penny will help us. Grateful

Hi i moved into my house about 7 months ago, its privately rented and i have missed 2 months rent and my lanlord threatens to kick me out and i have nowhere else to go all the family i had are now deceased, my partner has not long ago left me, i have a little girl aged 2, she is all i have left and i am classed as disabled and cannot work no more and the benefits do not pay for the mortgage and im short by £500, all the money that i have has gone food for my little girl, im even going without food just so she can eat, ive sold everything in my house that is possible i only have the bare minimum essentials left. im using my friends mobile to post this as i sold my laptop, my phone will be the next thing to go but that is my lifeline and need it in case of an emergency, £500 is what i need but anything is better than nothing and i would be so grateful if any amount of donations would be made

I have been fostering feral cats in my rented home for about a year. They are desperately hungry pitiful creatures and I provide them with food, beds, blankets and shelters on the property. Now my landlord has decided he wants to sell the home and refuses to renew the lease. We are hoping to raise enough money to be able to buy the house and stay in the home. If we have to leave the property then these poor creatures will be lost and abandoned once again. We have been able to bring in some of the kittens but most of them are ferals and they are not adoptable. Their only hope for survival is to continue to come to us for food and shelter. We spend all the spare money we have to feed them and we just do not have the funds to put a down payment on the house. These cats have come to view the home as a place to eat and sleep and feel safe. So much so that one of them was out and got hit by a car. In the middle of the night with a broken hip she managed to crawl her way back to our house where we are currently nursing her back to health. We feel so guilty abandoning them since they have come to depend on our sanctury and wil be lost and miserable if we move. Please please I appeal to all you animal lovers to help us raise enough money to buy the home and take care of these precious creatures who have been completely abandoned to the world. We are their only salvation. Please help our time is very limited.

Hello,
Well, this is embarrassing, but for the sake of my children I am doing it anyway.
I have a problem with bailiffs. My husband left me and also left me with all his unpaid debts as well as three children to support. I lost my job a year ago and have not been able to find another yet, although I have been trying. I am on benefits, but they do not cover the debts or the mortgage payments I need to make. I am trying to sell the house, and the mortgage company are being fairly reasonable, but even so, if I do not sell in time, I will also lose my house. If I can sell, I can pay my debts and move into rented with some money left over. But that's a long shot in the current market.
However, the most urgent problem is the bailiffs. They are demanding immediate payment of £2,020 (approx $3,300 USD) or they will take my possessions to auction to cover the debt. It's a joke, my paltry possessions will not cover the debt, but they will take them anyway. The longer the debt goes unpaid, the more "interest" they are adding to the bill and they refuse to take instalments, saying my husband broke the original agreement with them and now it's too late for that. Unfortunately, they are legally allowed to do this, (since we had an earlier agreement with them and they have what is called a levy on the house contents) as well as intimidate, threaten and even break into my house to collect my stuff. It's a frightening situation. I am afraid to answer the door in my own home and I have had to tell the kids not to either, because they are not above forcing their way in past them. I have tried the police, but they say it's all legal and they cannot help me, even if these men break in (in fact, they will help THEM to do so, because I owe the money) It’s unbelievable, but it's true. I have even asked the help of a solicitor, but he says the same thing, unless the law is changed, there is nothing he can do. No one appears to be trying to find my husband, and I do not have the resources to look.
I hate having to ask, but I am terrified of these men. I can't eat or sleep and I am worried about the effect this is having on the kids.
I hope there is someone (or several people maybe) who can help me out of this mess I have been left with.
Thank you for your time.
Hope.

Hi
My husband, who is a Vietnam vet, passed away recently (October 8th, 2011) from Bone and Lung Cancer at home. First of all, he wanted to spend the rest of his life home with me and our pets (three Mini Dachshunds and two kitties). Also, the VA wouldn't be able to control his pain enough so that he could enjoy the remainder of his life so he went under Hospice care. They strive for quality of life and they were amazing.

The problem with that was that when you die at home, the VA covers nothing at all. Had he died in the VA they would've covered his funeral expenses. We didn't have life insurance. He had started a policy, but the bill for the first payment came in on Monday, the 10th. He died Saturday the 8th.

He died here at home and then was placed in the funeral home morgue until we could come up with enough of a down payment for his funeral (I believe it was $2000.00) I still owe something around $5,000. He stayed in that morgue for around three weeks before we could gather up that money. Not a good way to treat a vet at all.

I had left my job to take care of and be with him until he died, this is what he wanted. We didn't have insurance or any kind of state medical help. We lived on his disability check that he received monthly. There are no survivor benefits, VA or Social Security I've been told either. We had only been married a year. We have been together since 2002, but got married Sept. 21, 2010. We had our first anniversary a couple weeks before he died. As far as I know, SS people have told me we must have been married for ten years in order to get any kind of survivor benefits.

We had sold our boat, truck, and spent any money that we had toward our living expenses and to help with down-payment on funeral.

Now, I'm back to work but it is part time, I make $7.50 per hour (sometimes as little as 20 hours every two weeks). Telephone survey taker. I don't qualify for state help other than food stamps.

I've been looking for work since he died and not getting any responses at all. I am on the Michworks website numerous times a day, every day besides checking the local papers, and any other things I can think of.

Right now as I write this, I am due to lose our home (we rented this for the last nine years). My rent was due on the first. I have borrowed money, sold household items, and gotten help from the area charity places that I could. Every month has been a struggle and every month I think "okay, I've gotten the rent paid this month and I SHOULD have a new job by the next time the rent is due", but sadly it is not working that way. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm beginning to lose faith. I absolutely cannot get rid of our pets either. I promised I would never let anything happen to them and I wont. Besides, they are our little ones, our family that we had together. They are also what is keeping me going. I cannot imagine life without them and him too.

I am at the end of my rope now. I didn't want to resort to this and it really is a blow but I don't know what else to do anymore.

I hope that there is someone out there that will read this and be able to help me somehow.

Thank you so much.

My 5 month old son was admitted to hospital with respiratory distress.

He had a lack of oxygen to his lungs and it was touch and go for several days! He had to have oxygen, ventilators, a feeding tube and was in HDU!

As a single mother to two young children, I am forced to work part time as I receive no help, financial or emotional from their father, who ran off with my best friend.

I currently owe £4,000 in medical bills and on top still have to pay my rent and food and day care for my two children, plus the excess in sitters I needed for my older child while the baby was in hospital.

please please please if you can, help me. I would never normally do something like this but I cannot see any other option! I have been turnt down for a loan as I do not earn enough and live in rented accomodation.

I promise as soon as I am back on my feet, I will donate every penny I can afford to other needy causes!!!

I’ve never asked for any kind of help before, and certainly not from people that I have never met! But my situation has become so desperate that I really do need help.
I have, for the last 15 years, struggled to make ends meet, following periods of ill-health, bad luck and catastrophic decision making. My circumstances are now very desperate indeed, and have even considered suicide.
In 1997 I suffered from a period of depression, that became so severe that I was forced to give up my job, and borrowed money to cover my mortgage and keep my house. Unfortunately the repayments on this ever increasing debt snowballed, and I found myself unable to meet my mortgage and household bills. I had ploughed my life savings into the home, and lost it all.
In 2006 I was approached by a friend, who was concerned for my financial circumstances, and suggested that we buy an old property, renovate it and sell it for a profit. I was desperate to make some money, and trusted my friend. I would refer you to full details of this in my Beg, as the project ended in complete failure having been ripped off by an unscrupulous builder. Work that should have taken 3 months took in excess of 9, and I ended up carrying out all the work myself. I regularly worked at the house from the early hours until well past midnight. The long hours left me exhausted, and in October 2008 I had a breakdown. I simply couldn’t carry on, and collapsed at work. My employer at the time was an unforgiving and vindictive man, and he said that I would be suspended if my work didn’t improve. I was afraid that I would lose my job, and under considerable psychological pressure from my employer I was forced to resign.
Following the failed business venture, which had plunged me into further debt, my breakdown and subsequent loss of my job, I simply couldn’t cope and pushed me into a long period of depression that became so severe that I planned to take my life. At the time I was so ill that I was unable to hold down a job, and this simply added to my woes - whilst out of work and undergoing intensive counselling I borrowed further. By the end of 2009 I was £15,000 ($23,250) in debt. I desperately want to rebuild my life now, but it is difficult to do so when I am saddled with a debt that is crippling me. Between 2009 and December 2010 my debt increased - there is no answer to it, and I will never ever me able to clear the £18,000 ($27,900) that I now owe. It is a debt that cripples me and prevents me from having a normal, happy life. I am 50 in February 2012, but have no future. I am tired of being worried, stressed, unable to sleep, and being depressed. Please, please help me start my life all over again. Please read my full story, and contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

Hello Reader,
I am 30yrs old woman, I'm living with my husband in a rented flat.
When i was a kid i had a surgery on my right leg, a surgery that went wrong. After that i had to go under 15 other surgeries on my right leg to be able to walk.
I had to be treated in Italy cause at that time there were no specialists in Poland (that's where i'm from). My parents spent all their savings to pay for my treatment.
Today i am an independent person, last fall i started my own business which requires a lot of driving and meetings with clients.
Unfortunately right before Xmas i fell down on an icy road twisting my right knee. I was
hospitalized for a couple of weeks. Now, after several tests and analysis it turns out i have to go under another surgery to fix my knee.
Otherwise i won't be able to drive or bend my knee at all for the rest of my life.

However this will cost about $3.000 and me and my husband, we don't have this amount of money.
My husband has two jobs just to pay the bills.
All the medical bills so far were paid from our credit cards. But we have no more credit, no savings and due to the fact i cannot drive i cannot run my business which is also consuming money.
We have huge debts in banks and on our credit cards that we used to pay for my medical bills and for rent.
Please help us in anyway you can.
We're trying to save as much money as possible, even buying less food.
Please, any amount that you can donate will help us get through this.

My daughter and i have recently had to move out of our marrital home; leaving our worldly possesions, due to mental and physical abuse. Trying to find work has been a nightmare, due to the fact that for the last 17yrs i have only worked for my husband who refuses to give us any references or financial help unless we return. At the moment we are living in rented accommodation, living from day-to-day on very little savings in a catch 22 situation. If anyone can help with a job or donations it would be very much appreciated. I have had Hodgkins Lymphoma in the past which has left my mobility not at its best, some days are good some not, so part-time work is preferable but i am willing to try anything as beggers can't be choosers. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Hi I am a student studying fulltime at college working towards a degree in admin/office tech, currently I live with my partner in a local authority rented flat. The government decided that £3995 was how much our household was entitled to claim and that was mostly a student loan and small bursary. We have applied for many other grants and been refused. We are now in debt with our rent, gas and currently feel like we are both going hungry too much. The government are more than happy to pay for anything for you if you are a heroin addict or alcoholic or have 6 children but someone who wants to better themselves by studying to earn a living has very little help. Its no wonder the uk is in such a state with unemployment when people are encouraged to become mothers to get benefits and houses, or encouraged to be a junkie. PLEASE if anyone out there can help in any way please donate and help me to stay in education and get the career I deserve.
