Sacrifices Tags

I am a 26 year old mother of 2 adorable children. My husband was killed by a drunk driver a few months ago, and we can no longer make ends meet. I am constantly hounded by collection calls, and have had to make some tough sacrifices. My husband had no life insurance, and was preparing to enlist in the military. He never got the chance to serve his country, or see his children grow up. I have job skills, but cannot afford daycare anymore. I don't qualify for any assistance programs, and I don't want to be a welfare mom in the first place. We have exhausted all options as far as borrowing from friends and family, and I don't know where else to turn.

Hi,

(Note: You may see this same post on beggingmoney.com)

My name is Eliabe. I am an 18-year-old guy from Brazil and I need your donation because I need to move away but I can't afford it.
Let me tell you why.

I grew up being abused by my dad -- emotionally and sexually. I did not realize what was happening until recently. I still have to deal with the consequences. I became social phobic, anxious and depressed. I am still afraid, disgusted of and uncomfortable with touch and closeness, yet I am dying for it. An African therapist agreed to help me for free, so I am getting better but only very recently am I making progress.

Three, almost four, years ago (2008), my family rejected me over religious issues. I wanted to join this Sabbatarian Christian religious association (this particular sect is a minority in Brazil and honestly everywhere else but they're more present in the US and England) and my family rejected me and reproached me so severely that it radically changed my personality. They wanted to throw me away. I was only 15. I had nowhere to go. I was deeply shocked and shaken on the inside. I never knew I could feel so hurt! I had never expected such sudden rejection from them. My mom said I was a disappointment to her and that I would not stay under the same ceiling as hers if I wanted to keep my faith. My siblings made fun of me and my new beliefs. My father demonized me and said he'd take me to their religious authorities to “straighten me out.” They accused me of bringing a curse into our lives and treated me as a shame to the family ("What will others think?" they wondered). My relatives (uncles, aunts, cousins -- I have a big family) were all against me too. I did not tell my friends because they belonged to the same religion as my parents. I started isolating from everybody. I became very deeply depressed. I would sleep just not to have to be awake and suffering.

It was really overwhelming to me. I had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. The congregation was out of town. So I decided to give up on joining that group. However, I did not stop believing in them but I had to pretend to be in my parents' religion on the outside.

But then my life became a nightmare. I had bad dreams at night. I became paranoid. Every time I was outside, I would walk around the house many times before taking the courage to go in. My heart would pound every time the phone or doorbell rang or someone called my name or asked about my religion. I would feel sick and go pale every time someone initiated a conversation about religion with me. I was traumatized. I am only getting better now. I fainted many times as I got weak because my mom refused to cook clean kosher dishes for me. I can’t even begin to describe all the sacrifices and pains I had to go through not to lose my identity. I can’t, for example, go out on a date or have a serious friendship because I am hiding the most important part of myself. Try to have a relationship where you do things you can’t explain the other party. Do you think it can ever work? My friendships are all shallow because of that.

I am a recent high school graduate. I took a basic course on administrative services and telemarketing last year, paid by the government as part of a program in Brazil called “Jovem Aprendiz” (“Young Apprentice” in English). As part of that course, I am working part-time, supposedly to acquire experience in the field, though I actually work as a warehousing assistant in the company (completely unrelated to administrative services). As I only work part-time (4 hours a day), I only receive HALF the minimum wage, which means I earn about $2 per hour. Yes, I could save that money to achieve my goals. It would take over two years but it would be possible. But I can't at the moment because I have to support my parents and siblings. My brother also works and my dad has recently found a job after three years of unemployment but I still have to give them a significant part of my salary or else we will starve. Also, even if I could, I’d still be desperate because I have been suffering for almost FOUR YEARS!

So I want to move away because I want to be free to convert and live my life, have friends, a girlfriend and a normal life. I got a passport and contacts in the United States. They can help me once I am there but they can’t buy my plane tickets as they cost over $800! There are also additional costs as I need a visa. I am currently looking for a job there. There have been people who want to hire me but they stopped contacting me after learning of the costs they would have to pay.
So please help me. It is the ONLY way for me to be happy again! It doesn’t matter how much you donate. It will make a HUGE difference.

Thank you very much. God bless you!

I am dying of cancer(stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread to my bones).The doctors have told me I could die as soon as December of 2012.The treatment I have been getting for a year(chemical castration) has stopped working as normally happens.My PSA is starting to go up again.The doctors will only be able to give me palliative care-drugs for pain and then chemo and radiation only to relieve severe bone pain.I am 58 and have been staying at a homeless shelter for five months now,waiting for these people to help me get housing.The environment here is not good for somebody with my health problems.Because it is a mixed shelter,the noise level is constant and very high from screaming and crying kids and their mothers yelling at them.Also.because I am not a veteran,I feel my case is being put on the back burner because there is a big push to get all the veterans on the street housed because of all the federal money coming to the shelters for that purpose.Don't get me wrong-the vets have earned priority because of their sacrifices.I would just like to get enough rent money to spend my last months in a more peaceful place.By the way,I probably got the prostate cancer from being exposed to cadmium every working day in my first job in California from 1973 to 1976.I am in the Los Angeles area.

Hello everyone. I am doing this for my older brother who is basically homeless and has been for seven months now. He was taking care of our mother while she battled cancer and had to be home full time because we could not afford the private care.

Our mom passed away April of this year. She left him the house so he would have something that belonged to him but she also left behind some expensive bills. He has been unable to find work of any kind. The lights and water were eventually turned off in the beginning of June and he has had neither since then.

He has no way to bathe, clean, store food or anything. The electric bill with interest is several hundred dollars and I know the water bill is up to $504 AND they have a lean on the home until it is paid which means it increases by $25 every month. I was going to put the utilities in my name but apparently a "renter" has to pay high deposits if the owner owes money at that address and those deposits are just as expensive. All of this doesn't include the $680 in back taxes on the property. If I can just get his bills paid off I can maintain the monthly costs for him.

Yes he does have a home but essentially it is nothing more than a tent. He lives off of $160 in foodstamps a month and rides the free bus everywhere. In April he weighed 248lbs. He now weighs 152lbs due to having to eat cold canned foods. I don't know what else to do. I have tried everything I can think of. My husband is the only one working so we are unable to do much for him ourselves not to mention I live a few states away. We have no other family ... it's just the 2 of us. He deserves a little help in return for the sacrifices he has made. He had to put his life on hold to watch our mother die.

Seriously... every penny helps. We will not turn our nose up at any donations whether it be a $1 or a penny. I do not know what kind of proof that I can offer other than copies of the bills and shut off notices .. and an obituary.

ANYONE who can help I will be forever indebted to you and I swear on my life itself that anything that is left over will be given back to others on this site that truly need it.

If you have any questions you can contact me at alba_2oo6@yahoo.com

UPDATE: Lights have been taken care of ... thank you. Water and taxes are still hanging over his head. Today the city informed him he had 7 days to have both lights and water or the house will be condemned.

Growing up poor meant that I was not afforded many opportunities as others. Having two alcoholic parents meant they preferred to keep the liquor cabinet stocked than to set up a college fund. While I love my parents dearly, I wish they could have done more to ease the amount of debt I already possess at a young age. At the same time, I know that my experiences have shaped me into the person that I am today. Nonetheless, I have been forced to acquire a significant amount of debt and am asking for assistance to have this debt paid down. As a child, I had to work hard to earn money for things that I wanted, often cutting neighbor's yards for money. I started working at a fast food restaurant at 15 to earn more money and have been working ever since. When I finished high school, I knew that if I wanted to break free from the shambles of poverty, I would have to attend college. Without any resources at my disposal, except for the small amount of savings I had, I was forced to finance through student loans. Four years later, I was a cum laude graduate, but had over $50,000 in debt. I know this debt is necessary for me to attain my goal of financial security for myself and future family. Still, assistance to get this debt paid off would be very much appreciated. I do not make excuses nor do I ask for handouts. I am employed in Washington, DC and working hard to gain success. Still, the debt is overbearing and a constant reminder of how much more I have to work. Living in Washington means my living expenses are incredibly high and therefore I have had to defer my loans for another year - the compounding interest is just adding to the problem. I simply cannot afford the interest right now. I know that one day all these sacrifices will absolutely pay off but in the meantime, I would like to start working towards financial security. I would be forever grateful for any donation that you could make. Thank you in advance and thanks for taking the time to read my short narrative.

First, A little about myself. I am a single father to a grown daughter, an out of work bartender, and a lover of travel and photography. As a single parent i have made a lot of sacrifices over the years( i am not complaining, just stating the facts). I am very proud of my daughter and would never change a moment. Now that my child is all grown up and out on her own, I would like to learn to be a little selfish and enjoy the years I have left. Beside my child my biggest loves are travel and photography. I would like to put the two together and create a business that I can enjoy and be proud of. Now that I finally have the focus on what I want out of life, I find myself out of work and out of money. All I do now is try to find work to pay the bills and I find myself living day to day. I'm hoping that maybe someone out there knows what it is like to have a dream... a dream that is slowly slipping away. Please find it in your heart to give little. Something. Anything. Every little bit will help me achieve the dream of having my very own business. Travel photography isn't for everyone, but to me its a dream that I have put off for a very long time. Thank you for taking the time. joey

My parents have instilled the importance of a good education. I am attempting to complete my freshman year at a great college-preparatory school but because of the present circumstance I am not able to. My parents recently divorce and money is extremely tight. My mother is the sole provider for the family and her salary has drastically decreased. Both of my parents have always made sacrifices to send myself and my brother to private schools, especially since the public schools in my area are terrible. Saying they are below average is honestly an understatement. With the divorce and the recession, my mom is struggling to afford my current education. I have worked extremely hard this year and want to continue toward my goals and preparation to entered into a good college.

Unfortunately, the day I was suppose to take my final exams for my freshman year, I was called to the school's office. They told me that they couldn't allow me to take the exams because my mother was unable to pay the balance on the tuition. To know that I couldn't finish my first year was devastating. I can not even begin to describe in words how crushing it was for me to receive this news. The threshold of the sophomore year is about to begin but I will not be able to attend because my mother is currently unable to pay the past due tuition and I can't take my final exams until the bill is paid. I am presently in limbo and pretty scared. My mother has been working extremely hard to pay the balance and make arrangements to pay the tuition for this coming year. There also isn't any extended family to help us either. I see my mom everyday work till she gets headaches, she's always tired and I'm worried for her as I watch her struggle to get me back in school. Ultimately, I would very much like to continue my education at my college-preparatory school because I completely understand the importance of an education. I appreciate any donations and give my unending thanks for your generosity.

My name is Carmen and I will start off by adding as many details to this picture.
In 2005 my family won the visa lottery. The U.S Government approves a limited number of visas every year to foreign nationals. My son has a medical condition for about 9 years now, alopecia areata. The capillary hair left his head in chunks, now being completely bold. I refer to him as he due to a full array of bulling issues encountered in the past and perhaps still possible in the future. He is not growing hair on the head anymore. As a child he dealt with it, however the culture shock and the new school environment were adding extra pressure on his already tormented psychic.

He is fine now due to prednisone infiltration by Dr. S., a great practitioner with one of the best Dermatology Clinics in Nevada. It was not easy and I had to start working 2 jobs during the day and the night shift on weekends as a cashier in Century 21 Theaters.

From 2006 to 2007, I applied with over 200 companies, made phone calls day and night trying to get employment. As 2007 started things got better and I was happy with even extremely low paid jobs I held. My son was getting the right treatment and that was everything I cared at the time. I never applied or accepted any help from any governmental sources, used only the temporary work I got.

The financial situation I was in had a deep impact on our morals and still, we kept high hopes about everything that surrounds us. It was a time not too long ago that made me realize that I do need help and can’t push this anymore. My mother passed away overseas and I could not even travel to see her or say my last good bye. My father is alone, old and I really would like to see him if I could. We still carry around 20K in debt, a dragging debt that became unbearable. We both have limited jobs that keep us alive but never allow the dream we chased here. We make all ends meet paycheck to paycheck with less than a hundred left as extra per month.

I am open an honest, I feel exhausted by this ride and hope that if this debt would be paid back everything will be much better for us. I had over 80K to pay back and did with great sacrifices and tears. I refused bankruptcy or debt settlement as I knew that karma will return. I am grateful for the good that happen in my life and I just want to be able to pay back the remainder and move on. Thank you for reading, understanding and all the help send our way. I will make sure to pay it forward in due time. Thank you.

We are looking for a loan of $5400-12,900.

My husband and I have been making a great effort to get out of a debt situation that we feel into a few years ago. Through sacrifices on both our parts we have been reducing our debt a little at a time and see ourselves in a more comfortable position within a few years. But we are facing a problem currently.

We both work. I work full-time in a factory. My husband works for a road construction company. While he works full-time, he gets laid off during the winter. This is what our problem is: Last summer he was out of work for 8 weeks due to a non-work related injury. He was drawing unemployment this winter for the New York State max of $405. However, when he started the new claim, even though he is on extended benefits, he is only going to get just over $200 a week. We cannot survive on that. Even with my job which pays over $16 an hour, we normally rely on two incomes. I can make up the money by working overtime. Even though I worked 12 hours O/T ths week, this is not always available.

What I am looking for is for some help with our monthly bills for the next three months. This will help us keep our necks above the water until my husband starts working again. He normally takes home over $700 a week.

These are our monthly bills:

Note: The amounts are not the monthly payments but a total of what we need for the next three months.

Cable: $450

Electric: $750

Car Insurance: $600

Mortgage: $1500

Misc: 2100-this includes medical bills and perscriptions (my husband is a diabetic) plus nickle and dime bills that he is paying off)

The total amount of bills is $5400

If you are willing to donate, think of it as a loan. Even if it takes me a few years I will repay each person who helps me out. I do have two of my bills that I am currently paying off the first is my car payment which has less than $5,000 to go on the loan. The other is $2,500 in some medical bills and other nickle and dime bills. If these get paid off, I am freeing up $300 a month in payments which I can use to pay back thse who help us.

Please, I only take donations through moneypal.com. The reason for this, I nearly was scammed a few years ago. Thankfully, I was suspicious of a check I received from an individual. It turned out that it was a forged check.

I will keep you updated:

Progress:

I will list the progress here. If you make a donation and don't want your name mentioned let me know.

We are not in desperate need like some on this site, my husband and I both work and we can pay our bills. However, we have two teenage daughters and we want to ensure they can follow their dreams and attend university. We have bought them up to make the most of every learning opportunity they come across. The oldest is very bright (we argue about which side of the family this comes from, its still under debate) and ambitious and she wants to study medicine. She works very hard at her studies and her results reflect her hard work.

I looked up the cost of studying medicine recently and the cost is very scary. The idea of a huge student loan when she leaves university makes me feel very concerned. I don’t want to fully pay their way through university; I expect them to work to contribute to their costs. I know they will appreciate it much more if they have to make some sacrifices. However I would truly like to see them enter the workforce at the end with a manageable level of debt. We feel their education is important and we want to help and encourage them as much as possible. If you share our passion for education perhaps you would be willing to donate some money to help our daughters, any amount would be appreciated. Thanks very much.

Single mother of Three, just found out that I have Stage 4 ovarian cancer. In 2009 I became homeless with 3 beautiful children when my husband left us. Now my health has become worse, I look at my beautiful kids and Beg God to spare me, For I am all they have. I don't even have money to bury me, It makes me cry to think I am in this situtaion and I can not make this better at this time I feel so sad because I never like to ask any one for money and all of our bills are getting so far behind whatever god puts on your heart to help a family in need look at it that way god will bless you i never imagined having to do something like this but for my family i will make whatever sacrifices i have to for us to survive. This is not the first christmas with No presents, which the kids should not have to learn to accept. I will keep my faith and keep praying. GOD BLESS YOU.

I had no idea this kind of site even existed until tonight. Two months ago my Dad passed away unexpectedly leaving my Grandma completely lost. My son and I moved to be closer to her but I really should have thought further ahead. I expected to be on my feet in no time. That's not exactly how it turned out. It has been one thing after another. The first curve ball was finding out that my dad had cashed in his life insurance years earlier without telling us. That left my sister and I scrambling for any way possible to have a decent burial. Now it's been two months of little things piling on top of each other. I know that there are a lot of people out there that have it much worse than I do...but at this point I am willing to try about anything. All of my bills are behind and I am a week from eviction. I have a 5 year old son that was diagnosed with A.S.D. He is so mature for his age and is so understanding and compassionate. Sometimes I wish he would get mad like most children. It breaks my heart that my son understands that we have to cut corners and make sacrifices to survive...but so far we have managed to survive. I am more worried at this point in my life than I have ever been. My entire family is drained financially and emotionally. I am a single mother so I don't really have many friends to turn to. I have spent my days searching for work and my nights online looking for a miracle. This may or may not be the help I've been searching for but it doesn't hurt to try. When I was younger I was out with some friends and an older woman that smelled like whiskey walked up to us and said "never say never" and walked away. Back then I didn't really pay much attention to her words but now I understand completely. Growing up I never dreamed that I'd be where I am now and I'm sure the woman I met that night had always dreamed of more. I've heard a million times that life is what you make it but the truth is...everyone's life has a struggle in their eyes. To some it's not having the new Coach the day it comes out and to others it's trying to find a way to survive while keeping your morals in tact. People have a lot to say about sites like this and the people that post on them but the reality is that everyone on this site has a story. They are reaching out for help and many of us made a difficult decision to swallow our pride to provide for our families. So before you judge anyone that's asking for a hand, remember that you are one disaster away from their shoes. "Never say never!" Thank you for taking the time to read this and I am grateful for any help that you can offer.

Hi,

My name is Carol and I'm trying to get back in school to complete my last year and finally get a degree in Accounting. I had to leave Temple University a few years ago because of financial issues force me out. I had been working and saving towards going back and was unfortunately laid off due to budget cutbacks (just can't catch a break). Due to this set back I had to reconsider my options and make some needed sacrifices. I've moved in with family to save money and decided to transfer to a school that costs less. I would love to see this through to the end because in this economy, even though I have work experience, I am at a grave disadvantage amongst my peers. So ANYTHING that can be donated to help me get back on my journey would be much appreciated.

Thanks to everyone leggeret my ad.
