University fees & house repairs

Posted by student_in_need on 2012-03-02 08:58:32

Hello. I am a 2nd year student, although this is now my third year at university. The reason for this is that I live with my mum, and she was going through some major finance troubles. I stopped studying for a while and started working full time to help with bills. Things are still hard, but at least we are not at risk of losing the house anymore! I am returning to University, and had planned my finances as I am working part time to pay for my studies. However, with so many bills, a hole, yes a hole, in the floor of my kitchen (the fault of my sister who overloaded the fridge plug, and caused the freezer to melt), medical bills, a broken car (again), and the ever growing cost of living, I have only saved $600 of the required $2700 needed for my fees to be paid by the end of the month. On top of this, the hole is required to be fixed immediately ,as the longer it’s not fixed, the more the rotting will spread further, therefore needing a bigger job to fix it. This has a quote of $4000 - mind you that is just one quote; I have heard it's a couple of thousand depending on how big the area is (from 3-4 thousand), but he said because it has effected such a large area, that they need to cut out beyond the floor boards to ensure the rot is gone. I have never done this before, so I am a little ashamed to say the least that it has come to asking complete strangers for help. I have really tried to save for as long as possible, but things keep coming up that have cause me to only save a portion of what is needed. However they need to be paid so quickly that I am asking for help to get the $6100 so I can pay them before deadlines/further damage. If anybody has any means of helping I would be so very appreciative; I really am almost in tears at this moment to even think that somebody could be so kind and generous to even consider helping me, like winning the lottery. It would be so amazing if anybody could help. I want to continue to express my gratitude, but I think I would run out of words! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a nice day.

hi,i am a stressed out mum with 5 children,2 have Aspergers/Autism and i am trying my best to look after them and study so that i can better myself and hopefully be able to take them for a little holiday as we have never been anywhere.i do not want to go anywhere expensive,just a weekend away with them would be the best ever.my house also has terrible dry rot,i have spent all the money i had having it treated (house insurance would not cover it).we had to rip all the kitchen worktops and units out(ruined by rot)and knock all the plaster off the walls to treat it,if i could just have any small amounts i could buy kitchen units on sale and try and give the children a tidy clean place to cook and eat their food and do their homework in,i will be extreemly greatful for any amounts to help me so that the children will have a better life,my autistic son cant cope with mess and cries all the time and asks me why he is the only boy in his class that hasnt been on holiday.thank you for reading this plea and if you feellike you would like to help out i am eternally greatful.thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SIX FLAGS OR ANY WHERE. IM AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE KIDS THAT DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING THEY NO I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AND THEY DEAL WITH IT. WHEN THEY GET MONEY FROM FAMILY FOR BIRTHDAYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THEY GIVE IT TO ME TO TRY AND HELP ME PAY BILLS I CRY BECAUSE KIDS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT. mY KIDS FATHER DOESN'T HELP ANY HE OWNS ME 16 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CHILD SUPPORT AND HAS NOT PAID A PENNY.

I ALMOST WAS WILLING TO START A PHONE SEX JOB TO MAKE THE MONEY BUT I COULDN'T BRING MY SELF TO DO THAT. LIFE IS SO HARD AND ME BEING A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE IS EVEN HARDER. BUT I LOVE MY KIDS AND I WILL DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THEM HAPPY.SO IM ASKING IF ANYBODY CAN DONATE 1 DOLLAR THATS ALL I'M ASKING SO I CAN DO SOME SPECIAL FOR MY KIDS.
