Post a Beg Now!

Always struggling to get a break.

Posted by Grizzly on 2012-05-22 12:58:18

I currently work 2 different jobs, sometimes pulling over 60 hours a week. I work hard and do my best, but I never seem to be able get ahead. I am asking for help because I have loans that my deferment runs out on at the end of next month. I will have to start making payments towards those as well as my usual bills. On top of that, my car broke down last week. The rear frame has rusted so severely that it is no longer safe to drive and is beyond repair. I just need to be able to have a vehicle to get to work and enough money to make the payments on loans. Please help if you can.

Divorce, Lost Job, Anything Helps

Posted by foodforthought on 2012-04-24 20:58:52

My name is Lance. I am 39, and going through a divorce. Two weeks after she filed, I was one of several victims of company layoffs. I had been married for 14 1/2 years and working for the same company for 15 years. I put my wife through college, and never got my turn. I am trying to find a job, but in this economy it is tough. I am the primary custodian of our two boys, ages 4 and 8. My unemployment runs out soon, and I don't have any more money to fall back on. I need the money to help put a roof over our heads, provide food, buy clothes, cub scouting supplies, pay for gas, and help with other bills. Once I am employed, I will donate anything left over back to other people in need. Thank you!

Neeed help paying bills, I want to go to school debt free

Posted by cracklepaddle on 2012-04-19 15:58:23

Credit card: $2,000
Rent for last 3 months: $1300
______________________________
$3,300

Plain and simple, I am over 3 months behind on my rent, I used my credit card to pay for an insuarance decutable (I have since sold my car). I work, and make about $650 a month, most of that goes to buying food, and paying off debt. I can't get social assistance because in Ontario, you do not qualify if you make over $600 a month. I'm tired of feeling tired and worried about my debt. I just need financial help, money runs my life, I feel like I am enslaved to work, no matter how hard I work, I gain nohting. Please help.

I quit my job to move in and take care of my parents, one who has COPD and the other has Alzheimers. I also have 2 small boys and my welfare runs out next month. I cannot have my parents put in a state nursing home and feel it is my duty as their daughter to take care of them through the end of their life. We are about to lose everything if we don't get some sort of assistance. Thank you so much.

I am a 51 Year old male, who recently lost everything when the economy went sour. I lost my job of many years as a manager, lost my home as a result of this, now my wife had to move in with her elderly mother. I also have 6 grandchildren that I want to be able to visit, as they keep asking why I wownt see them. I also want to see my children and do things for them. I have clawed my way out of debt, now all thats standing in my way is a car. I have many job opportunities, but no vehicle.
I anyone has a vehicle that you do not need, It will get me out of my rut. Please, I promise to pay that person back with interest, and kkep them posted on my progress. If needed, I will work it off anyway you need, as far as labor. Any vehicle that runs would help. I have always given to the community and want to get back to giving. This has never happened to me.. If you think it is in your heart to help a person who desperatly wants to help himself, feel free to e-mail me.....thank you kindly...mike

Air Conditioner Repair So I Can Get To My Medical Visits

Posted by steph68461 on 2012-03-16 18:58:40

Greetings,

My name is Stephanie. Following the death of both my parents in a car accident 5 years ago August my health has been in a steady decline. I suffer from neurological issues that will soon have me in a wheelchair, and advanced COPD that means I have to have Oxygen continuously. Yesterday I had to go the doctors in 85 degree heat without any air conditioning in my van. By the time I got to the medical center and tried to find this new doctors location I ended up collapsing twice between the walking and breathing. I weigh 83 pounds at 5'5" and I can't carry the oxygen with me when I have to exit the vehicle. Ultimately I ended up in the emergency room.

I live with my daughter and grandson of 6 years. My grandson was in the car when my parents were killed and suffered a major brain injury at 13 months. I'm happy to report though that after months of hospitalization he is right as rain and is mad at me currently ;o) because I'm on my computer which he adores playing with. My daughter suffers from PTSD since the accident my parents were killed in. She cannot drive without someone in the car and she was going to go with me yesterday but the heat was so bad that we were concerned about Gavin in the back in my black 1994 Ford Astro van. It was just way too hot for him and with her PTSD we HAVE to go through town to get anywhere or she will lose it so there would not have been any steady air flow.

It's been a long 5 years. My parents and I jointly owned a duplex. Their deaths were the beginning of the most miserable time of my life. When I divorced it was jointly decided that it would better if I lived in the upstairs apartment so they could be there for the kids while I worked. Over 16 years we became so close that their deaths nearly destroyed me. I paid for the last 15 years on the note of the house, my buy in and we all lived there incredibly content and happy. My parents were my best friends.

After their deaths during the mortgage meltdown, credit locks, and the economic fallout my career of 16 years was one of the first to go. I worked in the non-profit sector designing programming for inner-city communities with a specific focus on youth. So 8 months after their deaths the funding streams I used for the programming dried up and a job I loved disappeared.

Life insurance was enough to cover their debt with a little left over because they didn't carry much but in the end I lost my home of 16 years to the insurance company that covered my daughters son through work when they filed a $ 90,000.00 lien against my home. So 7 months after losing my job I also lost a home I loved. So I experienced 3 deaths within the span of a little over a year.

Because I was unemployed so long and had to use my cards to keep the lights on so to speak my credit is not good. So I can't borrow the funds or even charge a repair for the car.

I can no longer go to doctors visits alone. I'm too weak to walk very far without help and I can't carry the oxygen canister on my own. So I need my daughter for these visits.

Like anyone with severe health issues I'm buried in bills but what I really need help on is funds that will me to fix the air conditioning in my van which despite it's age runs like a champ. I have a physicians assistant who comes into my home to work with my but getting to the specialists has become real concern.

My daughter even with her PTSD has reached a point where she doesn't want me going alone. I was supposed to call her when I reached the doctors the other day when I collapsed the 2nd time and they took me to the specialists office I asked the receptionist to call my daughter. She didn't and she left my daughter terrified that something horrible had happened to me. I don't carry a cell I can't afford one. My daughter was getting better about both driving and me driving myself; because of this receptionist my daughter has now had a huge set back. I have to see that doctor again next week and I can't take them without air conditioning so what I'm going to have to do is make sure I find someone that sit with my daughter while I'm gone to help keep her anxiety level low. I don't have any choice I have to get there. I won't have anyone to carry my oxygen but I'm hoping I can in there.

Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. I am more than happy to pay it forward as soon as I can. I have been a lifelong contributor to various causes and I know people are in dire straights right now. We all need help in one form or another. I would never ask if I could do this myself. Please forgive me.

Hello my name is Kevin, I'm asking for help for my family. I have a 2 yr old son who is not biologically mine. I've been taking care of him since day one, this baby is the light of my life, he brings me joy everyday when I come home from work to see his beautiful smile when he runs to me yelling "daddy". I love this little boy with all of my heart like he was my own. Recently from out of no where his biological father served my wife to get custody of him. Keep in mind he has never seen him nor wanted anything to do with him until now. It kills me to even think about our little baby boy leaving our home with a stranger, I love him so very much and it breaks our heart for our son. We need $2500 to retain a lawyer and fight this. we just don't have the extra money when we are already on a budget it would be a blessing if anyone could help us (even a little bit will help), Thank you.

Posting again just in case an Angel missed my plea for help.

Hi there,

My name is Lea all the way from Australia. I have 3 beautiful children that I am raising on my own. We fell on hard times just over 1 year ago. I am looking forward to starting work in 6 weeks time. This is the most positive I have been in a very long time. The problem I have is with my car. It is 14 years old and runs fine sometimes. Last year I spent $1000 repairing an oil leak and a few other mechanical problems. Now though the shocks have given in and the car is not safe to drive any more :(. Today was the worst I feel, it felt like I was on a boat at sea :(. The expense to replace them with labour costs is astronomical. I really don't have the money to foot this bill. The car isn't worth a lot and I thought it would be better and safer to buy another one given the constant repair bills. I have always driven it nicely and looked after it. The timing is not very good right now. In my part of the world cars are very expensive even for the most basic one. I don't need anything trendy just a car for the kids and I. I need it to commute 35 mins each way to work and be able to drop them off at school and daycare everyday. A road worthy vehicle like the one I have now (Toyota Camry Wagon) costs $3,500. For a few months I joined various on line opportunities that all promised to make me money but what happened instead was that I lost the last few hundred dollars I had on advertising which was intended to invite others to join. Unfortunately, it didn't work :(. Please, if there is anyone out there reading my story will you send just $1.00. I am going to the bank next week to find out about a loan but I am unlikely to get anything. I was driving my husbands other car but two weeks ago he had an accident resulting in his main car being written off. He has now had to take his car back. We are currently separated and he is in debt a mile high. To anyone who would like to see proof of the repairs my wheels need I will be happy to supply them to you. I have nothing to hide at all and this is a genuine request for help with a car. I am sure to anyone this is a massive request and I'm sorry about that. I really want to get back on my own two feet. Along with starting a new job I am also studying on line as an external student of my local university. For now though a helping hand however big or small will have the impact to change our direction in life. Without a road worthy set of wheels getting to work will be a really big problem.

In return I am willing to offer an eternal friendship :) Who doesn't need a friend? I would also like to send a little present, something Australian to anyone who will help me out. I suppose as my start day gets closer the more anxious I am becoming. This car issue is causing a lot of worry :(. As things improve and I trust they will in time I want to help others on here too. To let you know a little more about us: A few Sunday's a term I lead the preschool kids Sunday School at my Church. I love it very much. Being a lone parent is not easy at all but I have come along way after battling a lot of health issues brought on by my husbands departure. I also give away any clothing my children have outgrown to anyone I know of that needs them. I also share anything I bake as long as it tastes good :). I try to live by being kind to everyone myself as one never knows what battle someone else may be facing.

Thank you for reading.

Will keep praying for a miracle.

Many blessings,
Lea

PLEASE will you help me :)

For a few months I joined various on line opportunities that all promised to make me money but what happened instead was that I lost the last few hundred dollars I had on advertising which was intended to invite others to join. Unfortunately, it didn't work :(. Please, if there is anyone out there reading my story will you send just $1.00. I am going to the bank next week to find out about a loan but I am unlikely to get anything. I was driving my husbands other car but two weeks ago he had an accident resulting in his main car being written off. He has now had to take his car back. We are currently separated and he is in debt a mile high. To anyone who would like to see proof of the repairs my wheels need I will be happy to supply them to you. I have nothing to hide at all and this is a genuine request for help with a car. I am sure to anyone this is a massive request and I'm sorry about that. I really want to get back on my own two feet. Along with starting a new job I am also studying on line as an external student of my local university. For now though a helping hand however big or small will have the impact to change our direction in life. Without a road worthy set of wheels getting to work will be a really big problem.

In return I am willing to offer an eternal friendship :) Who doesn't need a friend? I would also like to send a little present, something Australian to anyone who will help me out. I suppose as my start day gets closer the more anxious I am becoming. This car issue is causing a lot of worry :(. As things improve and I trust they will in time I want to help others on here too. To let you know a little more about us: A few Sunday's a term I lead the preschool kids Sunday School at my Church. I love it very much. Being a lone parent is not easy at all but I have come along way after battling a lot of health issues brought on by my husbands departure. I also give away any clothing my children have outgrown to anyone I know of that needs them. I also share anything I bake as long as it tastes good :). I try to live by being kind to everyone myself as one never knows what battle someone else may be facing.

Thank you for reading.

Will keep praying for a miracle.

Best wishes,
Lea

Hi there,

My name is Lea all the way from Australia. I have 3 beautiful children that I am raising on my own. I am looking forward to starting work in 6 weeks time. The problem I have is with my car. It is 14 years old and runs fine sometimes. Last year I spent $1000 repairing an oil leak and a few other mechanical problems. Now though the shocks have given in and the car is not safe to drive any more :(. Today was the worst I feel, it felt like I was on a boat at sea :(. The expense to replace them with labour costs is astronomical. I really don't have the money to foot this bill. The car isn't worth a lot and I thought it would be better and safer to buy another one given the constant repair bills. I have always driven it nicely and looked after it. The timing is not very good right now. In my part of the world cars are very expensive even for the most basic one. I don't need anything trendy just a car for the kids and I. I need it to commute 35 mins each way to work and be able to drop them off at school and daycare everyday. A road worthy vehicle like the one I have now (Toyota Camry Wagon) costs $3,500.

Need help with Rent and Bills

I worked in the Oil and Gas industry for 9 years and I was laid off due to the economy. I was able to receive unemployment which has now run out. I have applied at temp agencies, fast food chains, casinos, bars, gas stations and anything that runs in the paper and online in my area (except for truck driving and Dr. positions) since I am not qualified to do either. I have been out of work for 7 months and still have not received a job yet with the reasons being told that I am either overqualified, under qualified, or there aren't any openings at this time they are just accepting applications. I am receiving food stamps and my children are receiving medicaid but neither food stamps or medicaid help pay my rent, utilities, car insurance or any of the other bills that we have. I am not sure what else to do at this point but to keep looking everyday and hope I find a job soon. Anything would help and be greatly appreciated

Deployed Sailor trying to stay connected to home.

I am currently deployed over seas and will be for the next year. While I am deployed in an area that I can keep in touch with my family, my current laptop computer just isn't capable of skyping with my family without having a lot of issues and it is really frustrating. I'm not looking for someone to drop enough for me to buy a complete one but if anyone can help supplement me purchasing my own so that I can talk to the wife and kids without my computer throwing a fit, of course I would be very grateful.

My Current Laptop is a Dell Inspiron E1505 with 1GB of Ram, 64 GB Hard Drive, an old Core Duo processor, and integrated video.. It runs but if I have to switch with skyping and viewing what my wife/kids are looking at online, the thing freaks out.
