Ruin Tags

I am faced with an impossible request I think. 3 years ago I was a strong, confident woman, 13 credit hours away from a BS in Biology with plan of going to graduate school. I was in an extremely abusive relationship with a man that I had to assist authorities in putting in prison. The same man left his daughter in my custody under the pretenses that her mother had abandoned her. I cared for her for two years as the only mother she knew before I found out that he had in fact kept her from her real mother and I had to return her to her biological mother. That same man sent people after me to attack me later and forced me to fear for my life. I still do.

I now understand that I was dealing with a psychopath.

After that man was incarcerated I tried to rebuild and began a relationship with another man who later went to prison for a charge that he accepted for someone else basically. While he was incarcerated my best friend of over 20 year died of unknown and still unexplainable causes. Once the man that I was with came home I then suffered two miscarriages.

I am told by my physicians that the constant state of being in a heightened and frightened state caused post traumatic stress disorder which led to an anxiety disorder coupled with daily panic attacks and agoraphobia.

Due to my condition I lost my job and no longer have health insurance. I am unable to drive or leave my house 90% of the time. I have been hospitalized on several occasions in an attempt to control the anxiety and depression that seem to only be getting worse. I feel over medicated but still as if nothing is working.

My physicians have suggested a residential psychatric program that would last approximately 30-45 days to assist me in in getting a handle on these conditions and assist me in regaining control of my life. However these programs are all self pay even if I did have insurance and range from 40-60,000 for the complete care in a facilty that can handle both the medical and therapeutic side of psychiatric care.

There is simply no way that I can accomplish this, but I feel as if I am slipping away and I am scared that I will never come back.

I just want my life back. To be free from these nightmares, this panic, these fears and to not live my life on medications that due nothing but make me a zombie. I had a life and a plan, I was going somewhere, and now I can't even leave my house for weeks sometimes months at a time.

My parents have basically been placed in financial ruin to assist me during this time, and they can no longer assist me. I am scared beyond words, If I don't find a way to get help, to get better, I fear for what will happen to me, how I will live, pay bills, work, be a functinal member of society.

I feel that committing to a residential program as suggested is my only option left, my only option for survival. I am desperate and scared. But I don't know how to accomplish what seems to be the only hope.

Please Help, someone please throw me a rope, I am desperate, lost in a dark pit somewhere, I can't see out, there seems to be no way out......I need a rope.....Please help.

The contents and purpose of this letter have caused any pride I might have had to disappear and the level of embarrassment and shame that I am feeling, even as I write this small introduction to grow beyond compare with something I NEVER want to feel again in my life.

I will make an honest attempt at keeping it quick and to the point, since you know how I can get to rambling on forever about nothing. I am going to start with the immediate and EXTREMELY URGENT situation at hand with prior situations that have created a situation that I cannot handle alone.

3 or so weeks ago….
I was pulled over for my front license plate and registration being expired (had only recent got the vehicle back) I was personally searched 3 times... my car was loaded to capacity, and I said I would rather them not search it, due to it contents and the time and energy spent loading it. He said he would call k-9. I had no problem with this. The dogs were 2 hrs away and apparently this cop was set on this, so he tells me, “im going to search your car” so the car was searched extensively and illegally by 3 officers while I was told I had to sit in the officers back seat, locked, of course.... as expected, there was nothing found anywhere in my car by 3 police over the course of a few hours.... Keep in mind, i was searched three times before being placed in his car.... wearing a bathing suit..

They let me go, and told me I could load my car back up.... then, for some reason....the initial officer removed the lower portion of his back seat???. Found something (controlled substance, less than a gram, schedule 1) that i have yet to be informed as to what it was…. Screamed to put my hands behind my back, confusing, arresting and humiliating me.

Have spent money that I could not spare to get out of jail, get my car back and wasted close to a week of my life.

One level 3 tampering with evidence… (Claiming that I put the controlled substance in the back seat)
$10,000 and 2-10
The other, possession of a controlled substance, less that a gram level 1….. is a state felony and brings similar time and money



There is a camera in the back of this officer’s car as well as one on the small building at which the incident happened…
Its all on video, and the lawyers i have talked to have assured me that this is an easy one, “wont be a problem” and it’s a “no brainer”.

But given the circumstances leading up to and surrounding these ridiculous legal charges I cannot obtain the services of these lawyers since I am unable to afford what they are asking. Was told if I could bond myself out, then I couldn’t have a public defender, and even if that isn’t true, I wouldn’t want one simply due to the fact that I am not prepared to settle or accept a plea bargain for something that is going to ruin me.

Court is TOMORROW, the 10TH

Like I said… this is the most embarrassing and shameful thing I have had to face.


Please help my family and i. This is injust, I am scared, don’t know what to do and I cannot take it.

They are asking for 8k, and 1/2 down...

Thursday, may 10... TOMORROW, i will go from a normal, once succesful person who fell on hard times to an animal in a prison cell.

Please please please. I will do whatever it takes to pay you back. Interest, labor, ANYTHING.. i will just need a bit of time to get through this situation and i will focus on repaying

Please email asap.

Thanks.

A hit and run drunk driver has left my family and I in financial ruin with over $200,000 in medical bills and unpaid business expenses when my restaurant had to close while I was in the hospital for months recovering from a traumatic brain injury, broken arm, and many other misc. injuries. Your donations will help my family get back on our feet to go back into business and again be a productive member of society! We appreciate your help!!!

I have adhd and am not good at record keeping. I was running a business and got an auditor that wanted to ruin me. The CPA ended up cheating me also. Long story, but I was honest on my taxes but the long costly audit cost me everything. My Mom got sick with leukemia, dad had a stroke and I had to take care of them from 2007-2009. My family recently disowned me because I am not working and I could not repay them all that I borrowed to go through the audit. My friend is helping me write this because my spelling is terrible. Could use any help at all. Please.

Hi. I'm a young man of 34 years, still single, but enjoying life. I was well educated growing up and studied business in college. I've had some recent hard times with the economy just as everyone else has. But I was prepared and was able to survive on money I had saved up. But that wasn't enough, I had to cash in my retirement account in order to still make ends meet. Being the business-minded person I am, I took a hard look at my finances and cut back on every single thing I could. But even then, my expenses still seemed to be more than my income. I requested my student loan payments to be reduced based on economic hardship and found myself borrowing against my credit cards each month in order meet my financial obligations. Now, I've found myself borrowing on one credit card just to make the payment on another credit. I did this just to stay current on my monthly payments so I wouldn't ruin my credit. My credit rating is very important to me and I don't want to risk it being lowered.

Right now, here at the beginning of the year, I'm just trying to get a new start on life. I'm wanting to wipe out most of my debt so that I no longer have to worry and be stressed about that day after day and be able to concentrate on the more important things in my life. I've started clearing out a lot of clutter in my life. I've gone through a lot of my storage boxes and getting rid of things I no longer need. I'm selling my car that has been giving me issues since the summer and now needs a repair that will cost over $800. I'm making plans of moving to another part of the country which I feel has a lot more opportunity for me. I want to get more involved in the lives of our youth. I'm starting a website which gives tips on money management and plan to integrate a monthly email newsletter as well. I want to organize local meetups for youth to teach them about money. I was also recently hired as a tutor for an online tutoring company. And I want to get involved with Big Brothers too.

I feel that making these plans are the direction I'm being called towards. I feel it's right within my soul. And I feel there will be many positive aspects to this later on the down the road. But the truth is, I'm still in debt. I'm still trying to work on my financial obligations. The tutoring company I was hired with is a new company and was supposed to be live in January. But I was recently told there were some complications with the website and it may not be until March or April before we could start. So that was income I was counting on that's not happening right away. Add to that, I'm in the middle of moving and came across unforseen expenses that I was not expecting. Having no current job, I'm trying to find ways of paying for those. And since I'm moving, it's kind of difficult looking for a job. And since I have no job and no income, I'm really not sure how I'm going to afford a place to live once I do arrive.

So, as you can see, even though I've been trying to make some positive moves in my life, it's becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of income and the increase in debt I have. So it would be a great help if you're able to make a small donation. Then I can start moving forward and changing my life for the better. Thanks so much for your consideration.

Please help me. I have nothing. All I get is death threats from these scum and they try to get me to commit suicide. They just lie and say I am crazy to get off. They just drug people up and ruin their life, the economy and utilize government agencies to do so. Please do not support terrorism. That is what they are. They are selling stolen goods at garage sales. They made false allegations against me.

I am a hardworking single mom that has been offered a position in NYC which will provide a better life for me and my sons. I am not in dire straights, I fought hard and picked myself up after a nasty divorce and financial ruin. I work in one of the poorest areas of the country with a high unemployment rate (therefore not a lot of opportunity). The company in NYC will hire me if I can pay for my move. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am looking to raise money for the move move through several avenues. If you can help, that would be great :)

I am hosting a server for use by the general public, but I don't have to cash ability to support it, please donate to help keep the server from dying, I have quite a few people who help with this server and I would hate to have to kick them off!!
To see proof of our server, go to www.tacticalcraft.com, we have around 100 users who love our server, to end it would be very mean to them, and it would ruin my reputation in all servers!
Please help me, as you can see on the donation list on the website, i spend ever cent i can, yet what i have spent is on a fifth of the monthly cost of the server. Please help me, even a small amount can help! Thank you!

i have medical bills reaching into the thousands because i lost medical insurance at the age of 18 due to not being able to afford college, ever sense i was a child i have ear problems ranging from over 4 sets of tubes, chronic ear and infections that lead to pollups, an ear sergury that made me go def in my left ear, the infections get so bad that they cannot heal themselves and must be treated, the economy is terrible where i am at and i now am recieving courtdates to attend, i recieved my first supena a few days ago. i dont want to ruin my future over something i cant help

After leaving catering college at the age of just 20, I embarked on my career, but it was taken away along with my life just a few months later, ( im now 55 ) during college my dad died of cancer, it had been my turn to watch over him that night, I was just 15 years old, and I awoke to find that he had died during the night, his hand had locked on to mine whelst I had been a sleep, and I had to have it removed by my big sister, I cannot forget this it broke my heart,my dad was just 47 when he died, it affected me for the rest of my life.

It also profundley changed my mothers demeaner, it changed her, and I was last to leave the family home, and it was so hard.

To make matters worse only a few years ago my mother passed on, and I was away dealing with my own medical problem at the time and missed her passing on, I wanted to say goodbye, it haunts me to this day, that my parents left this world in such a manner.

I am in my late 50s now, back in the early 70s, I was a passenger in a friends car, he pulled out into the path of another car, onto a fast piece of road, and our car was hit at over 90 miles an hour. My seat belt broke with the impact, and I was thrown through the cars windscreen. I, landed on the tarmac and next the car I had been in was bulldozed over my body.

It bulldozed the other car on to my neck and chest, trapping me under it. My arms were pinned to my chest by the cars sill, and my neck was bent up against a cold granite wall, my right leg was wrapped around the back axle. I was ready to die, but held on to life with every passing breath, god must have been watching over me that night.

It took the fire crew an hour to cut me out, then it was off to the hospital, on arrival all my clothes were cut from my body, on examination it was found that my right leg was near on severed from the knee, and was hanging on by a thread of my skin.

In addition I had 4 broken ribs, severe cuts and bruises everywhere and a small spilt in my skull, this skull spilt was not significant at the time, but would go on to ruin my entire life. My mouth was full of broken windscreen glass and I was vomiting blood because of it. Back in the 70s there was no MRI scanner so I was just given an X ray of my head.

Because my leg was the main problem the little split in my skull was just left then as being nothing, but it would play a big part in my life. After being cleaned up and admitted to the ward, I settled back to a 12 week stay, and Around the 3 week mark of being in hospital, the surgeon said there was now no chance of me being able to walk again on my right leg.

I broke down in tears, cried a river and could not understand why me. During my stay in hospital my boss came in and told me he could no longer keep my position open for me. This was devastating for me, I had worked so hard at college to be a chef, and had climbed my way up the ranks to be a chef in charge.

And was now at the age of just 20 cooking in a world famous Hotel, and it was my life, I had left school only 5 years beofre the accident, and had studied at college to be a chef, now because of this crash my career was finished in one hit, my employer had spoken to the drs, who had said working in a kitchen enviroment would be to dangerous for me, so my career was over right there right then.

I now lay in the bed stunned and deeply hurt that because of this accident, I had now lost everything at the age of just twenty!. Then one day I noticed some feeling in my right legs big toe, I screamed for the nurse, and she brought along a Dr.
Over the coming weeks I fully regained the use of my right leg. Of course I thought everything was going to be alright, but from the day I left hospital some 35 years ago now to this day, I have suffered so much.

You see the knock on the head I had during the car crash, damaged the cerebellum part of my brain, a part called the cerebellum tonsil. The severe knock to my head caused the tonsil, to drop out of the cerebellum part of my brain a few mm. And for the last 35 years this part of my brain as been dropping slowley a few mm each year towards my brain stem.

The affect it as is to disturb the cerebral spinal fluid that goes around my brain. The tonsil dangles into a space where it should not be, disrupting the flow of csf, which in turns gives me a wide range of medical disorders.

I suffer with ringing sounds in both my ears every day, 7 days a week, I have headaches daily, coupled with dizziness sickness, and pain in spine and neck, some days i cant feel my legs or walk on them, some days my arms dont work, my balance is hopeless, I cant sleep for severe pain, I cry all the time in private because of the situation I have been in these last 35 years.

To look at me I look like any normal kinda guy but life as been so tough these last 35 years.
The brain surgeons that I have seen have told me that to operate as a 75% chance of death for me, so they prefer me to live with the disabilities until such a time when I become in risk of death, and then they will operate on me seeing theres no other option, this means I live with countless medical conditions all of which I have had to live with for 35 years.

These medical conditions have made my life a living hell, for 35 years ive been dizzy off balance, severe headaces, and forced to go to bed every night knowing that I could die at any given time.
I lay in bed with symptoms of my brain damage rushing all over my body, trying to think positive for 35 years, im now 55, and wish so very very much that I could have given my wife and children a proper home to live in, one we owned, in a nice area, and not to have had to rely on handouts from the goverment merely to excist.

I cry, ive cried oceans of tears in despair in private, while Ive tried to work a way out of this hell for my family and me,but of course my disabilies dont allow me to get a break, so just had to live it for 35 years, ive never stopped trying, but ive made my illness well worse, and just cant do it anymore.

I was a young man of just 20 years old, and my whole life and anyone who would be with me, had changed in the blink of an eye. We got no compensation back when I was 20, and I was a passenger!!! I got shafted by the insurance company, with no dad, and mum still grieving his death, I got ripped off by the othersides insurers. If I was able to just change one thing in my past, it would be to not except that lift in my friends car.

The worst thing about all of what happened to me is, that for the first 12 years after my accident none of the medical people we went to see knew what could be making me so very very ill, so it was hard to get any help at all, after 12 years of seeing hundreds of doctors, one of them finally!!! decided to allow me to have a full brain and spine MRI, but this same doctor had been writing in my medical records that I was a waste of time and that nothing would be found wrong with my brain.

He, had written in my medical notes that there would be no scan because it would be a waste of time, He then reluctently gave me a brain scan, and reported it has normal to my family doctor.
My wife then ordered up copies of my medical records from that doctors hospital, and we found that he had lied about my brain scan, the brain scan records stated that I had a very rare brain damage that would be caused by a trauma such as a car crash.

We can only think like our family doctor does, that the dr who had written my brain scan results to be normal, was trying to cover him self after years of writing in my medical record rubbish about me, and now seeing that I had a rare brain damage had tried to cover it up"!!!!.
I was so angry after the last 12 years of hell, and to now see that this showed that my brain had been damaged severely all those years before, and that I had been made to live in terror all those years that had just passed.

My family said we should get a solicitor to champion our case, and we did, but the one we chose was a bad one, who during our legal case was struck off for mishandling another bigger case, it was in all the newspapers, and when that solicitor was barred from practising, our case was left in such a state that no other solicitor would touch it.
We took my case to 3 other solicitors, all of which said that the 1st soliictor had ruined of chance of winning, and we were left to suffer.

All of these things have mede me so very very tired, plus heavy debt, all my medical symptoms to cope with, and tring to live on pennies, the goverment gives very small amounts to live on, it just about covers food rent and some of the other costs of life. My life, and others with me as been so hard since 20 years old, thes last 35 years feel like 200 years to my body and soul.

So many horrable things have happend to me, my whole life as been blighted from such a young age, ive tried, ive tried so hard, im tired now so very very tired,
As I write this, I find it hard to think, motavation is so hard, each day is full with pain, grief, despair, money truly is the only way we can feel a little better, but we cant get any, so its bills bills bills, we live, but we dont do any more than that.

Now its just me and my wife, who means everything to me, I want holidays and nice things in our home, but we live on pennies and are feeling the affects of what happened to myself 35 years ago. I want my wife to enjoy life the way we were ment too.

My wife helped me through every year and we have 3 wonderful children, these days its been tough trying to make a living owing to my disablement, in the early days of my children growing up, I tried with every part of my determination to make a good home for them, but we could only ever live in social housing, and it was so so hard growing up in some of the areas we had to live in.
As my health as gotten worse we took on debt to keep above water so to speak, benefits were no where enough to live on. my wife and I now owe £50,000 in loans and credit cards, all of which over the last 35 years as built up just to roof and feed our family, and pay ever increasingley high water electric and gas bills.

I have had my dignity taken at the age of just 20, 35 years ago, and have lived a hellish life of pain, and tearful memories of what I use to be. none of what happened to me was my doing, just a passenger in a car.
Any help that anyone out their can afford will help us to live a little bit better. Thanks in anticapation of anything you can afford to give, it will be used to make a better life for me and my wife thanks and good bless.

I really need help with some credit card debt I have since I turned 18 I'm 22 know and the debt has increased to school loan debt etc. My credit is ruin by now. I really need help donating atleast a dollar will help. Please god bless you all.

Hey, ok, so seriously not trying to overpost here. I really just need some help and the situation keeps changing.
It's the same still that I need help with my rent and bills, but I now have a tiny extra chance to make it happen so I don't have to get evicted and ruin my credit and owe MORE than if I had just been able to stay. My 3 day demand notice came on the weekend, so they have to give me 3 business days.
Please someone have mercy on me!!! Help me cover this so I can avoid eviction! At this point because of a ton of fees and stuff they added on, if I am to save this situation, I need $1211... and that's just for the rent part. I could really, really, really use some help with my utilities, etc. too, but the rent is the one at crucial mass right now.

Please, I don't know what else to do. I have been unemployed for a really long time and have just run out of resources. All of February I have been very ill and not able to get out to do even little side jobs. I am so much better now, but will have to focus on getting moved instead of working if I have to get evicted.

Any help is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your consideration and follow-through.

I'm a 34 year old dad with a full-time job, so I'm not just a run-of-the-mill panhandler. My car died early November. I need a new one but I can't afford the down payment. I'm trying not to ruin Christmas for my family. I live with my girlfriend who is a full-time student and I'm placing an incredible strain on her by not having my own transportation. I need help. Anything you can offer would be appreciated. Thank you :)

Hello. I’m not one to ask for help with anything (I guess that I’m too proud to ask) which is why it wasn’t easy writing to a site like this. But all the same, here’s only a fraction of my story and hope that after reading this you would be kind enough to help out in any way that you can…

I’m Brian. My wife and I had been struggling financially for around 10yrs which inevitably put a lot of strain on our relationship.

Three years ago when our beautiful daughter was only 7yrs old my wife had an affair which resulted in a baby. I took the difficult decision to have her back and bring up the baby together to try to keep the family together and not ruin our daughter’s future. It wasn’t easy but unbelievably my wife did the same thing again only a year later and eventually left home – not something for any child to have to suffer…

Since seperating and leaving me with all our debts I’ve been struggling even more than before whilst bringing up our (now 10yr old) daughter on my own.

We almost lost our home twice in the last 2 years, the second time I stopped an eviction only an hour-and-a-half before being repossessed by paying around £600 to the mortgage company – that was really scary, wondering where we were going to live if it all went wrong.

Within weeks a debt collection company tried to make me bankrupt for a £1500 debt. I paid the full £1500 on time but then the courts added £1800 for solicitors costs! It took me many months to find and pay the £1800 by which time they clamped on another £1500 in costs for chasing up the first set of costs – which is still part of the bankruptcy order!! I really need some help in finding this money to stop being made bankrupt and our house taken from us.

At the same time I hadn’t missed any payments of £100/mth to a bailiff for an old Council Tax bill until my daughter accidentally put a car window through whilst playing out with friends. Although her friends ran away she knocked on peoples’ doors nearby to own up to it (gives you an idea of how she’s been brought up). So proud of her for owning up but didn’t help financially - I ended up paying a full weeks wage of around £300 to pay for the damage.

A knock-on effect was to miss the bailiff payment by 1 week which I caught up with straight after. Even so, they threatened to take my car, tv, etc if the balance wasn’t paid within 48hrs!! So there went £400 plus an extra £90 in fees!! Another thing I could have done without. Two big bills in 2 weeks. Unbelievable!!..

Life just isn’t fair sometimes. I’ve tried long and hard to hold onto what I’ve achieved so far on my own only to be taken away by companies who don’t really care about the real suffering and mental torture that it causes people.


I work full time but the money is never enough to get out of this ‘circle of debt’. My credit report has been in tatters for years with CCJ’s, defaults, missed payments, etc. It’s slowly turning around, but not quick enough. I just can’t bear the thought of another 10yrs of struggling ahead of me and not being able to ‘really live’ and be able to spend more quality time with my daughter before she gets too old and leaves home herself with not much to look back at. I don’t want to be seen as being a failure to her after all that she’s been through.

If anyone can help then please donate what you can. To be honest, I don’t want to just take peoples’ money ...I want to be able to give it back once we’re comfortable again. Seriously, if there’s any way that you can give a donation and provide your e-mail address (unless it shows up after a donation has been paid through PayPal) so that I can PayPal it all back to you plus a little extra as a big THANKYOU for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Thankyou,

Brian

you would be changing the lives of a family on the edge of ruin. It is a long story and I would be happy to tell you about it. In short, we need to pay off our car in order to deal with the unexpectedly high cost of becoming full-time care givers to my stepson and his young sister. We've always been the primary caregivers to my stepson, but now the mother is all but out of the picture and we are also caring for her daughter most of the time. We love them, but we have to drastically cut costs. If we could pay off our car, we would have $300 to $500 extra every month and it would make all the difference. We do not even know how we are going to pay for groceries this week. Please help us if you are able, anything would help really.
