Help!! My husband was scheduled to deploy and did not. During this time he was receiving payment from his regular job and the Army. Long story short, his regular job miscalculated his leave and began taking money back through his current pay. Luckily, he saved some of it. We were repairing household things such as leaky roof, bathroom, etc. we are now in dire straits as his income has been sliced in half and we have depleted our savings. I only need about 500 dollars for our light and gas bill which will be disconnected if I do not pay on the 21st. Please help I have a small child and do not want him to suffer without electricity.

Thanks for taking time to listen and I believe in paying forward and will do so if I receive help from anyone here

Good morning, my name is Missy Jensen. I have 3 little girls in elementary school and a gorgeous husband and I thought my life, though simple, was perfect. We've never lived beyond our means and have tried to do the best by our family. We've given to lots of charities (mainly World Vision and Red Cross) and never thought we'd have to ask ANYONE for even a penny.
I don't know if "Medical Bills" is the right category but medical is why we can't pay our other bills and are in trouble with the bank over our home payments.
Since #3 was born I have had a bowel resection following them finding colo-rectal cancer - and I thought that was the end of it. I now have a prolapsed uterus (sorry.. this area of my body is a disaster) which I need to have operated on. I have to pay for that operation but also I'm scheduled for a routine staging colonoscopy at the same time. This is TOO MANY BILLS! I am praying that this will be the end of it and I can return to full-time work in the next 3 or 4 months but I'm scared since my whole body feels quite battered.
There are so many stories of people's difficulties that I'm a little embarrassed to even ask. If you can spare a small amount, our family would really appreciate it.

I am a 36 year old single mother of two awesome teenagers and I'm trying to fulfill a life long dream by going back to school.

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to be an archaeologist and history professor as well as wanting to move to Norway since first reading the Prose Edda at the age of 11. Unfortunately those dreams got put on hold when I had my first child at the age of 19 and my second at 21. My children are now 15 and 17 and about to go off to university and begin their own lives and so it is time for me to revisit my dreams. This is going to consist of 3 steps each of wish I need help funding as I do not qualify for student loans/grants and cannot afford to quit my job to be elligible.

As the first step in this process I have been accepted to the University of Leicester to begin work on my BA in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology and am scheduled to begin classes on June 4th 2012 via distance education. In total the 3 year course will cost £10,350 with £1150 installments due every January, May and September 1st. Along with this one module requires me to go to England in year 2 for field school at Borrough Hill as well as a second trip over in year 3 for lab work. There is also an option to make a third trip for the graduation ceremony if funding allows. Each of these trips will cost roughly $2500 - $3000.

The second step in this plan is to complete a Master's degree in Nordic Viking and Medievil Studies at the University of Oslo in Norway. At this time UiO does not have tuition fees however they do require that international students have NOK 80,000 (roughly $13,500) per year of study. And Norwegian law prevents international students outside the EU from working while persuing their studies.

Finally the third step in the process much like the second involves doing further studies at UiO in the form of persuing a PhD in a topic related to Viking Metallurgy.

I have already taken steps to start covering costs on my own by working as much overtime as I can get (though this option is going to be limited once school starts as I will need to focus on school work) as well as moving from the house I was renting to a smaller, cheaper apartment with a roomate to cut costs. Unfortunately these measures alone aren't going to be enough to get me there. Any help you could give would be very much appreciated.

my bad luck started on the way home from adopting my son. our finances were nil from the adoption, but my wife and i were happy with the knowledge that her son was now mine, and the finances would work out. we were WRONG. on the way home, our van died and needed repairs, then all of the overtime i had been working to help pay for things dried up. fast forward two months, now we're on the verge of loosing our home, our gas is off, so we have no hot water and only dried goods for food. the electricity is scheduled to be shut off in a week. and the laptop i tried to sell to make up the money we needed was stolen. if there is a kind soul out there that reads this, we desperatly need $1500 dollars. and i do mean desperate. as in im trying to figure out how to cash in on my life insurance...that desperate. please help!

My name is Henry, i'm a 22 year old male and I am in dire need of money for rent and my light bill, I recently was in the process of relocating so I put a notice in at my job and the day before I was scheduled to leave I got news that my trip was canceled. Well my plan to go back to my job failed as they had already hired my replacement, I have filled out dozens of apps and no luck so far. I have two children and a wife who also can't find work. I have never done this before but I am getting desperate as I don't have much time. Any donation would be well appreciated.

In February 2011 I lost my job through no fault of my own. I've looked for work, I got some interviews but no job offers. I even applied for jobs far below my skill set without any luck. I had contacted the bank early on and was told they had a loan modification program for the unemployed. I submitted all the documents requested of me but the process dragged on and every 60 - 90 days they would ask for a new Harship Letter, Financial Statements, etc. March 25 I was contacted by phone and told that updated documents were needed for the last time and that they were going to try to get me qualified for the Affordable Home Program, however, I received a notice on April 4, 2012 telling my house is scheduled to be sold May 29, 2012. I need $19,000 to save my home and keep me and my son off the street. It comes at a really bad time because I'm scheduled to test for my licensure as an LCDC on April 27 and have had 2 employers express interest in interviewing if I pass my test. I'm desperate and don't know where else to turn. I've put always every dime I made into improving my house and I become physically ill when I think of someone being able to acquire my beloved home and benefit from all my hard work and sacrifice. The bank actually put mu house in foreclosure August 2011 but only recently gave it a sale date. Please help if you can find it in your heart. God Bless You.

Hi I am a 32 year old woman, from dayton ohio, who is in dire need of some help with paying for my wedding. I would have had the money for the wedding, scheduled on february 14th 2013 but my mom who recently died on march 11, 2012, did not have any insurance so I had to use the money we had saved to cover her funeral. ($6,400), I am a full time employee in the healthcare field, I have 6 children, and i have been with my boyfriend for 6 years. We have 3 kids together. If you can imagine it is very hard saving money with 6 children to take care of. If there is anyone out there that can and will help with any amount we would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

I am scheduled for surgery on 4/24 to close a fistula and to revise a bariatric surgery I had 30 years ago. There is a pre-surgery requirement to take a class and go on a liquid diet that is not covered by insurance. My husband has been laid off since January so I am the only source of income for our household right now. I need help with the $358 in order to have the surgery as scheduled. May God bless each and everyone who makes a contribution. Thank you.

My name is Michael and I currently live in a motor-home in my mother-in-law's backyard. I know they are getting tired of my girlfriend and myself living here and taking up half of their backyard. Truth be told, I would love to move out of this over-sized shoe box that I live in.

I used to be the Assistant Manager at Little Caesar's here in town, but the owner is selfish, sexist, and overall a terrible person to be acquainted with. He fired me because I posted a sign asking people to call ahead for LARGE pizza orders (I.E. 3 or more pizzas) because Pizza Hut just opened up across the street and business sky-rocketed. It was impossible to keep up with the sales because they only allowed me to work with 1 other person during the busiest part of the day. I needed at least 2 more people just to stay ahead of the demand.

After the incident at LC, I applied for and got a job at a local restaurant. However, the management there has been screwing around with my schedule. Constantly changing it without notifying me. I wouldn't mind normally, but since they only let me work 1 day a week, I never know when the schedule gets changed and I can't even afford gas to get to work on the days that I'm scheduled.

I've exhausted all my options. I've been living in this motor-home for almost 2 years now and it's starting to get to me. If there are any kind souls out there, I could really use some help... My relationship is falling apart with my girlfriend. My boss has been promising to give me more hours since I started working there last year... I still only work 1 day a week though :-(

Hi. I am a low-income disabled woman in need of some financial assistance. In August 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery in October 2009 to remove both breasts along with reconstructive surgery. In December of '09, I started 6 rounds of chemo followed by 35 radiation treatments. Although the bills were astronomical, I was struggling along trying to pay them. My only income is social security disability. My healing was progressing until I developed a hernia from the reconstruction surgery (they took part of my abdomen along with my abdominal muscles to construct my breasts).

In Nov.'10, I had surgery to repair the hernia as well as the second phase of reconstruction to my breasts. I was to only be in the hospital overnight but due to complications, I ended up hospitalized for 2 weeks. I returned home the day before Thanksgiving but still was not doing well. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, the paramedics were called to take me to the hospital again. It was determined that I was in acute renal failure due to a bowel obstruction. I was in ICU for a number of days. While in the hospital, I was placed on dialysis with the hope that my kidney functions would kick back in. After another two weeks in the hospital, I was released to go home.

On New Year's Day of 2011, I began feeling ill again and was taken to the ER. After several tests, I was admitted again and scheduled for a colonoscopy to determine the problem. It was discovered that a section of my colon was almost completely closed off. I was scheduled for surgery to correct this. I Thought they would just remove the bad section, sew me up, and I could go home in a couple of days. I woke up with a colostomy which I had until April of 2011.

All this time, the medical bills were steadily racking up. On top of all this, Ever since the chemo treatments, my teeth have been feeling like they are about to fall from my head. The chemo did damage while undergoing treatments.

I would really appreciate it if I could receive some assistance in paying these bills and getting my teeth fixed. I am on a fixed income and can barely make ends meet. I receive food donations from time to time and that helps me tremendously with groceries.

I just want to get these things paid off and get on with my life. Find ameaningless job that pays the bills and attempt to live my life out in a dark corner somewhere where nobodoy bothers me any more. i am at my wit's end. 90 calls per month from sallie mae. I can set my sleep and eating schedule by the way they call, once at 8:30 AM, once at 1:30 pm, and once at 7pm. Sometimes more depending on how they are set up, and from how many callcenters they are operating. I am depressed, hopeless, and unemployed. I have been looking through 2 HEARTBREAKING YEARS of unemployment, and my degree is useless and obsolete now. If things continue as they are I'm scheduled to retire about fifteen years after my 115th birthday. I am angry, suicidally depressed, anxious, hopeless, all of that rolled into one big human ball of failed promises, traumatic experiences, abusive relationships and broken dreams. I want to be able to heal. To get back on my feet and limp my way toward recovery, and that's how people can help me. I need to get out of debt. i can't take this anymore. i have a paypal account so please click on it. I would appreciate some help, and any amount will do. I have to get 75,000 of my back and this has proven an impossible task.

I am writing to you in hopes that you may be able to lend a helping hand to a single mom in need. I am a 36 year old single mom of a 13yr old boy and pregnant with twins due in December. I am separated from my husband due to domestic violence and have spent the last 6 months living in safehouses and family shelters. I have recently been blessed to find a new townhome in Denver for my family to get a fresh start. I moved in to the house in September, but I was put on bedrest in October. I have been saving every penny but I am short on my December rent. I have been served with an eviction notice and I have to come up with the majority of my rent money before December 27th which is two days before I am due! My rent is $900 a month and I still need $500. I just moved into my house, and I am scheduled for a c section on the 29th. All in all everything is just horrible timing. Every little bit helps, I am asking ANYONE who can help with anything to just help me to stay on my feet and above water. Please feel free to call or email me, I am a real person in a very desperate situation.My situation for the last few months have left me very humbled and I really need some help here.

I have been evicted from my apartment, and have to be out by Christmas day or pay the back rent. I am scheduled to go to the hospital for treatment on the 23rd, and should return to work, or have my disability approved around the first of the year. I am desperate at this point, I don't want to be homeless for Christmas, and I want my kids to not be disappointed in me. Please help any way you can

On January 5, 2011, My mom was admitted through emergency for bleeding out of her rectum. At first they thought it was hemorrhoids, and further testing detailed that it was colon cancer. On 1/6/11, without much consultation or time to process my mom was in surgery to remove part of her colon. They removed about a foot of her colon, then did more testing to see where the cancer was. My mom was diagnosed with stage IV cancer, after it had metastasized to her liver. This was an unfathomable diagnosis, as no-one in my family had ever been diagnosed with cancer. They gave my mom six months to live. I could not accept that, and went on a search to help cure my mom. First we went to Mayo Clinic, where they thought they could help. My mom and I traveled there solo, much like we’ve done everything else in our life. She had a liver resection, to remove part of the liver that had majority of the tumors in it.

There I was sitting there in the waiting room, feeling very alone, while the two expert surgeons told me what they had done, and knowing it was a band-aid, hoping to have extended her life. I rejected that then, and I reject it now. I believe God for a cure, and for them to find no traces of cancer in her body, and I receive that which I’ve asked for. She is scheduled to have another round of chemo to hopefully kill what is left. The medical expenses have become unbearable.

I have done tons of research, so much so that I had to start taking sleeping pills to sleep at night. I know that there are ways to help my mom beat this disease, and I think I have found someone who can help. Unfortunately, her treatment protocol is $5900/week, for a minimum of four weeks. My mom is on disability, and I am currently collecting unemployment, as it was too difficult to travel with mom, and hold down a regular job. I have written letters to churches, charities, etc. I have to do whatever I can for my mom, she is my best friend, my brother, my sister, and the only father I’ve ever known.

Absolutely anything would help. Thank you so much, I appreciate your time.

Greetings. I am a 55 year old male who has worked his whole life since the age of 13 until January 31, 2009. On that day I was injured at work where I was a supervisor. The fall resulted in two shoulder surgeries over a period of 16 months. End result is that I can no longer do the work I have done my whole life. Worker's Comp ran out well over a year ago. I have some disabilities but not enough to qualify for SSI or SSID. I managed to get some funding to attend Computer Tech school, and have three certifications done and working on my forth. There is about six more months of schooling. With no income, I have been living off of my savings, but my savings is gone. I can not pay my simple bills, rent, electric, water and such. I have sold my car...and use the public transportation system to go to school and back. I am looking at becoming homeless with no way to continue my education as scheduled due to this inability. There is no local help for "cash"... I do get some food assistance, but that is it. No community resources are available for those who are attending school for help with bills. In the past, I have donated and contributed to many persons and causes as I used to make excellent money in the construction field, but now I find myself in the dire need of what I once gave freely with no thought of return. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Blessings to you and yours this holiday season.

I do get assistance for my Diabetes and Blood Pressure medications, so that is a blessing.

I am a 32 year old working mom of three beautiful children and I have the most wonderful husband anyone could ask for. We have the perfect mid-west life. We both work full time (and enjoy what we do), have a nice home, we're able to afford some luxuries in life although in moderation, that is enough for me. I enjoy cooking, and entertaining in my time off from work, and spending family time with my kids, parents, and neighbors. My children are Jordon (age 13), Logan (age 10), and Brianna (age 9). The kids are active in sports, and in our small community we are well known, and frequently can be seen volunteering at community events, church, and our local high school, of which we are both alumni. I live less than two miles from the home I grew up in. Sounds perfect if you ask me.

On February 18th, 2011 our son Logan (age 10) was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. He was not having many symptoms only occasional headaches. I was concerned that he may have been developing migraines and so I took him to see our family physician. His physical exam was normal including a rather thorough neurological exam. Dr. Arntz agreed with my initial thought and prescribed him some migraine medication. What a relief! He asked us to get a CT scan of Logan's head only as a precaution and he even stated that he didn't think there was any real concern, just a precaution. 5 days later, we were heading to the University of Michigan; Mott's childrens hospital because his precautionary CT scan had confirmed the worst for us. A 6 cm brain tumor in the posterior fossa of Logan's brain. Causing the cerebral spinal fluid to back up and create pressure in his head (hence the headaches).

Before leaving the house for the hospital we gave Logan a brief description of the problem, and explained to him that we didn't know what was going to happen next but we were going to the hospital to find out. You could see the worry on him but he was tough, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I guess I better call it something, I think I'll name it Steve." So off we went, notifying family on the way to the hospital, and completely sick to my stomach.

Three days later we would embark on the scariest days of my life. Logan was promptly scheduled for surgery the following Monday and we were told there was a high probability that the tumor was cancerous. Dr. Cormac Maher performed 14 hours of brain surgery on Logan on Monday February 21st, and confirmed our fears that Logan indeed had a cancerous brain tumor called medulloblastoma. Then more bad news the post operative MRI showed that they had been able to remove all of the tumor and Logan would need more surgery. The next day he underwent another 6 hours of brain surgery. We caught it early but based on where the tumor sat he may not be able to talk or walk normally for 3-6 months. Lucky for us he talks and walks very well all things considered. But there has been radiation therapy and chemo therapy will continue until February or March of next year. There is a 75-80% chance of survivability, I feel blessed with those odds.

Logan is doing very well but this situation has put an incredible financial burden on us. I am falling behind on bills and need help. Andy is working constantly and I even started a second job on the weekends to try to help supplement the lost income from prescriptions, gas to and from the hospital, and just having to take time off work for appointments and Logan's sick days... I don't know what else to do. The banks have tried thankfully to work with us but our circumstance is not going to change for quite awhile longer. Our family's do not have a lot of money, and have already tried to help so much that I think it may be putting a strain on them as well. The church sends gas cards occasionally but there is just not enough to keep us going for the next year.

Here' s the kicker, Logan started his own Relay for Life team. I had taken him to a local expo about 3 weeks after he had been discharged from the hospital because I thought it would be good exercise for him to walk around and there would be lot's to look at, and there was a booth for the American Cancer Society. He walked up to the lady at the booth and he said " How old do you have to be to have a team?" She signed him up on the spot. Logan Bailey's Super Survivors have raised $8300.00 for the American Cancer Society! He's only a little more than $1600.00 away from his goal of raising $10000.00 for the Relay for Life. We've held auctions, bake sales, and concerts. It's been a wonderful distraction for him and he is super excited about reaching that fund-raising goal. We have asked our friends to contribute to his goals in lieu of giving us personal financial assistance. It's more important to me that his endeavors to do more for others, are successful.

We cannot change Logan's circumstance. He will always be a brain cancer survivor, and I will forever be a medullo-mom. But, if we can make this even minutely easier for others having to face it after us then we will do it. Logan donated "Steve the brain tumor" to medical research and he volunteered to participate in a medical research trial for his treatments. We hope that the money raised for the American Cancer Society will make a difference in research and support for anyone suffering with a cancer diagnosis. We hope that the research will make the work of wonderful, selfless, people like Dr. Maher and his team easier and more successful. If I had been diagnosed with this same type of cancer at the age of ten it would have been a terminal diagnosis... the research is working!!

I need help, I need financial help for my family so that we can stop the worrying over finances and concentrate on bringing our entire family through this successfully looking at it in a positive light and remembering that we did it with hearts full of love and with others in mind. Logan is a truly remarkable child and I am so proud of him. I anxiously await your response Thank you for your consideration.

Logan Bailey's Biggest Fan!!

Hello, everyone. I'm a neuroscience undergraduate student at a top fifteen school who is scheduled to graduate this upcoming May. I have a 3.82 GPA at this time and have been involved in research, community-service, and leadership activities during my undergraduate years. I plan on starting my application to medical school this next cycle, but I need to figure out a way to pay for it. Paying for college has been very hard for my family for several reasons: My family is originally from Latin America and so has not had much of a chance to build a savings cushion. In addition, even though both of my parents (divorced) make a decent amount of money, my dad decided to not contribute towards my tuition (he wanted me to attend a school that was closer to him), which left the burden of a $42000/yr tuition on the shoulders of my mother (I've contributed as much as possible). Unfortunately, I have not received financial aid because my school doesn't recognize these circumstances, even though I gave them a signed letter from my father stating his intentions. I want to go to medical school -- I've enjoyed every minute of the time that I've spent shadowing physicians --, but I don't want to burden my mother financially any longer. I respectfully ask for a donation to help me move closer towards my dream of becoming a physician. Any amount will help my cause and will be appreciated tremendously.

I am seeking assistance with my student account that is past due for the summer 2011 session. I am a single mom, full-time college student, and employed part-time (the last four to six weeks I have been working 30-35 hours per week). My mother has been unemployed for the last 15 months even though she has diligently searched. So, I am responsible for the care of three people, rent, car note, car insurance, utilities, etc. My financial aid and loans were denied because I had to drop a course last semester. In doing so, I fell below my 76% requirement for financial aid.

I asked my church for assistance and was basically written off. They did not ask how much assistance was needed or anything. I attend a big church and was willing to pay it back. Then two people said they would co-sign for a private loan-one never contacted me after I e-mailed the promissory note and the other asked me to withdraw her application. The semester is almost over and a balance of almost $7,600 will be due before I start in the fall. Even though I was able to increase my hours at work, I am still having a difficult time paying off the account.

I switched majors at the beginning of the semester and this has been my best semester here at the university. I am scheduled to graduate in May 2012. Attached are documents validating what I have written in this e-mail, which will show that I have attempted to get my account paid in full before now. Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Hi

I have never had to beg before in m life. I can't believe I have to resort to this tactic at the age of 55 years old. Exhausting all my savings.

Here is my story.. In April 2008 I was laid off my Shop Manager job for a construction company after 5 years employment.

Shortly after I was only able to secure a Desk Clerk job at a old run down former Holiday Inn, here in Salina, KS.with a room as part of the compensation. After 2 years of employment there they had a infestation of bed bugs and the owner wouldn't do anything about it and I was really ate up by them, didn't know why I had bites all over me until I visited the emergency room. Upon returning to work I asked the owner to pay the hospital emergency room bill of $380. He said he would but still hasn't done so after presenting the bill to him.

I was able to get $106. a week unemployment though which put me living out of my 1989 Jeep pickup that I had. I built a box on the back that I cared my positions and slept in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I put ads on craigslist for house painting and got very few jobs but once in a while I could get a room so I could clean up and get some relief from the heat that summer sometimes hitting 106 degrees.

Finally August 5,2010 I found a job at a Car Detail shop and was able to get a cheap motel room. This is hard work now for a 55 year old man, but I persisted even though finding out the owner was a drunk. I came in on pay day one day in September only to be fired because he didn't have the money to pay the help. Even after filing a complaint with the Kansas Labor board he has managed to avoid payment.

Then I meet a man that had an old house for sale that was willing to help me out and I was able to make a deal to buy the small home for $2500. , $500. and $100. a month till paid for. No gas , No electric, No Water, it was a wreck none the less a shelter for the winter coming up. I put a ad on craigslist to sell my truck so I could make the deal and within a week a couple had purchased my truck and I was able to make the down payment and moved the few things I had left in and make a bed. The neighbors were nice people and insisted on running a electric cord through the window so I would have lights and I had a little electric heater to stay warm.

I was still running the ad on craigslist for painting and through the grace of god got a pretty good painting job that netted me $1300. After waiting 4 weeks to get paid for that job ( the company said the check was buried under paperwork on his desk when I called the day before Thanksgiving wondering why I hadn't received the check) right..

Any way I paid the payments up till February 2011

In November the city heard I was living in the house with out electric, gas and water and sent me a notice and posted a notice to vacate the premises with in 30 days or be fined $500. I called them and said I was working on it and they gave me till December to have it up to code and inspected for $150 city fee. I didn't know what to do but kept applying for jobs and praying for someone to call and have some painting done. A friend of mine was a electrician and came over and told me what I need to pass the electric inspection. I called around and there was one company that would do all the inspection so I scheduled the inspections and passed the electric December 24 2011 and I called to have it turned on and they couldn't do it till the 26th, all gone for holiday. The gas line was a different story, the plumbing company spent two day correcting the problem and left me with a bill of $1400. that I have only been able to pay $40. on.

A 50 year old man I had made friends with Russ, while working the motel told me he had to quit work because he
was dying from hepatitis and didn't know what he was going to do, he had been homeless while I was for a while, so I told him he could move in 2nd week of February 2011, he was waiting on unemployment and should be coming in any time now, But the motel wouldn't let him stay with out paying.

He did get a good size unemployment back payment and 2 days before the utilities were to be disconnected we got the utilities and the house payment caught up.

Because of the unemployment he was getting SRS has cut off his and my food assistance and he has been denied disability and has to get a lawyer to handle it. I have been applying to every job and submitting my resume to every job online and in the local paper with not 1 interview. I do have a company that said they will call me as soon as they get some work themselves.

Russ my roommate will get to were they have to extract the water that builds up around his organs. The Dr said he has anywhere from 1-2 years to live and I would like to make him as comfortable as possible. I cook all the meals and take him to Dr appointments and to pick up his medication.

The gas is all ready going to be shut off this next week because we missed a payment on the cold weather agreement and now owe $689.35

I do have a PayPal account where you can send assistance it is edwardahopkinsjr@gmail.com Mail to: Ed Hopkins Jr 331 N 11th St. Salina, Kansas 67401 We still have a cell phone 785-201-2347 if you would like to call.

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Ed & Russ

P.S. I belive in the Pay It Forward System and will help at least 3 other people if you help me. I did donate $1. to BegsList I had $2. in my PayPal account. But I can't afford the $9.95 for the spotlight ad.

Hi, I am writing to see if there is anyone out there willing to help me and my family out with a one time loan. We will repay it. Until 5 days ago, we lived in Florida. My husband was hurt on the job back in November of 2010 and has been waiting on a Workman's Comp settlement (scheduled to be resolved on July 18, 2011); as such, he has not been able to work. We lost everything. My aunt helped us with the down payment for a 1998 cargo van so we could load up what little we have left and drive back to Michigan where my husband's family lives. They promised to help us but, now that we're here they refuse to do anything. We are staying in a cheap hotel and my husband and I are picking up scrap and turning it in everyday just to pay for the hotel room. All I'm looking for is a little help. I promise once my husband gets his Workman's Compensation settlement we will repay it. What we need is as follows: $450.00 to pay the insurance on our van and the car payment, $700.00 rent and $700.00 security to move into a house, $189.00 to pay for my husand's plane ticket to go back for his court date in July, and $349.00 to get my mother's wedding rings out of hock (I don't care about mine) but, we had to pawn both of our sets to pay for the gas to get us back to Michigan. If you add it up, I'm asking for a loan of $2,388.00. I swear I will repay it. I don't have a PayPal account so, if anyone is willing to help I'm not sure how it could happen but, I'm trying anything and everything to save my family. I know in my heart that once my husband gets his settlement we will be able to begin rebuilding our lives and pay back whoever is willing to help us after reading this.

I thank you so much for reading this.
