Hi, my name is Mimi. I'm a 21 year old college student struggling to put myself through school in south florida and take care of my little sister. We have some family out of the state that sends money but most of the time its not much or they are unable to send money due to financial problems. I work a part time job as a waitress which pays mostly in tips which helps a little but I just found out I'm having a baby and will be unable to work soon. The babies father left me because he could not take the stress and his job just fired him but I think I can make it without him, I have hope. I'm not asking for much just $5 or $10 or maybe $20 for weekly bus fair, school supplies, and things for my first baby. I would really appreciate anyone who could donate to my paypal.
Thank so much!

i work all the hours that god sends to try and make ends meet but i am really struggling,i am a stones throw away from losing my home,this is a last and desperate resort for me to ask for help but i dont know what else to do,i would be eternally grateful for any financial help

I have been unemployed for many months. I try to put food on the table with side jobs and helping others in the meantime. I've spent many sleepless nights sending out my resume in hopes to find a job. I'm 41 years old and have my 20 year old daughter and step son living with me. She is pregnant and due in a few months. My step son does work but it's very low pay. Nobody will hire my daughter while she is pregnant. If all this is not enough, now we must find a new place to live because our land lord has sold the property. We can pay our bills but do not have the money to relocate into another home. We need funds to find a new place and move from our existing home.

As I fall upon my faith in the Lord I pray he sends us help through these trying times. I have prayed for help and the answer to reach out to those on the net has presented itself to me. I am not looking to scam anyone's hard eared money. My family needs help plain and simple. If we don't find a way, we will be homeless:(
If you feel you can spare a few dollars to help us raise the funds to move, please donate it to us through PayPal. Any amount will help us toward another place to call home. Thank You for your kindness in advanced. God Bless All.

Hi
I have a 19 month old daughter.
i suffered severe postnatal depression for 7 months after she was born and therefore have not had the strength to return to work. I have tried to set up a business from home (so i could still spend time with her), but due to current financial crisis - this has not taken off.
We are now severly struggling with day to day bills and I cannot go back into employment. My husband works all hours god sends to try and make ends meet.
please help us with whatever you can!

I am doing an experiment.
If everyone that views this beg, sends me the smallest donation that their currency allows ie 1p from UK or 1c from USA/Canada etc.
I want to see how much we can raise, and then I will donate this money to charity.
Thank You.

I'm a 40 year old father of two. My oldest son was oxegen deprived at birth and has seizures and developmental problems. I'm working full time as an apprentice automotive technician. My 2 bedroom hous was build in 1950 and is in disrepair. Although I have been paying on it for 16 years I cannot refinance as my credit is in shambles after my wife of 20 years left me and the kids. She occasionally sends child support but it isn't enough to cover the daycare, medical and other expenses. My drafty house needs work and the roof is in bad shape. My two vehicles are both from the 80s and in constant need of repair. Thankfully I can do repairs myself but cost of parts is sometimes an issue.

Starting at the beginning is going to be tough since I really don't know where all of my troubles started, but I am pretty sure it started when the company went bad. Here is what I do know. I can't find a good paying, full time job to save myself. Literally.

I asked my pastor to pray for me and I asked God to help me find people to help me. I woke up late last night a discovered cyber begging. I have a part-time job, but it doesn't pay the all the bills.

A little about me. I have three kids at home. They are all in school. I work part-time in Jax Beach at a well known world wide retailer. I make $7.75 and hour and work around 20 hours a week. I have two college degrees and I am taking classes in accounting because I can't find work in my field. Most of the temp agencies told me if I knew Quick Books and bookkeeping the would have a job for me. Now that I know QB and learning bookkeeping they have no job. I have been on two interviews with the same company in the last month with a "we will hire you, but not right now." My husband is working out of town, so we have to maintain two house holds.He sends what he can. We are both working. We Are Trying.

Questions and Answers:
How much do you want from me? A dollar or two. Not much but a little from a lot of people adds up.

Are you going to tell us who you are?
No, because I don't want my kids getting teased again. I took them to food donation place and there was a classmate there who was nice enough to let the whole school know. We didn't asked to be here, it just keeps getting worse.
I have a Facebook page, Spare a Dollar, where you can follow me and see how I am using the donations. I will post screen shots of transactions or pictures of the money orders. I will post receipts of where I spent money too. I am working on learning bookkeeping so this will be real world experience of account for money.


What do you need:
Here is the list:
The first $100 will pay My JEA bill. I pay this online so I will post a screenshot for you.


$360 will pay my Att bill Jea Bill and buy a Gallon of Milk.

$1170 will pay my rent, Att and JEA Bill and buy milk.

$3560 for to catch up on November bills and enough to by food, pay December's bills and get my husband home for Christmas.

$6270 to Catch up on November bills, buy food, pay December's bills, husband home for Christmas, and January's Bill. Now if things work out, I might have a full time job come January 1st.

$10,000 to Catch up on November bills, buy food, pay December's bills, husband home for Christmas, and January's Bill. IF things don't work out I need around $3500 to move to where my husband is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Well, I have 4 kids;3 girls and a boy. My husband works 2 jobs and goes to school full time to make a better life for us. He was out of work for a year and just now got a full time permanent job.He had been going through a temp service and after his 90 day came up instead of hiring him the would let him go and the cycle repeated 4 times until this job finally hired him. We got so behind on our bills our landlord wrote me a letter tonite telling me if I don't get caught up he will have to evict us.Our family has went through so much sacrifice to finally get a job and then loose everything. I'm not only asking for myself but for my husband and 4 kids. Please help us. We need a help up.WE pray that someone sends us a miracle. Please let someone be our angel. I hope this reaches someone who can help before we get kicked out. Thanks for your attention in this matter and pray someone out there can help. Thank you.

My name is Missy. I am a 49 year old struggling grandmother of 3 sweet, beautiful boys, ages 5, 7 and 8. I am trying desperately to save and protect my grandsons and ensure their futures. I would not ask help if it were only for me. I am asking for help for them, so that my 3 innocent little grandsons will be safe, secure and have a chance in life. As things stand right now, we will be homeless within the next 2 weeks.
My greatest fear is that when (not if) I do become homeless, which isn’t that far off, the state will take my grandsons because we have no place to live, split them up and put them in foster homes. That thought scares the hell out of me. I am all those sweet little boys have. And if they lose each other too, after losing everyone and everything else that they known and loved, I fear their lives will be ruined at the tender ages of 5, 7 and 8.
I suffer from PTSD, COPD and fibromyalgia and each day I struggle with mental distress and physical pain. We live near the New Orleans Metro Area in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. We were displaced for a year after Hurricane Katrina, came back, bought a mobile home in Lafitte, Louisiana and tried to rebuild our lives. In 2008, when Hurricanes Gustav and Ike hit us back to back, our home was flooded with more than 4 feet of water; unreachable, except by boat for over 2 weeks.
At that time, my mother, age 75, had been experiencing the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s as well as a series of strokes which affected the memory and impulse control centers of her brain due to a vascular disease which severely decreased the flow of blood to those areas of her brain. During these TIA’s and small strokes/seizures, she behaved erratically and during larger ones she could become paranoid and psychotic. She had to be hospitalized for several of the more severe episodes, as she was becoming a danger to herself and others. The effects of these episodes lingered for days, sometimes weeks. Afterwards, she had no memory of anything that happened during that time period.
After the storms, we moved in with my mother to help her and because we did, FEMA stopped helping us. And since we could not afford to rebuild again without FEMA’s help, we lost our home. The recent BP oil spill was just another deep blow to our already struggling local economy.
Mom required 24/7/365 assistance and supervision, which she could not afford. She was eventually diagnosed with vascular disease of the brain and Alzheimer’s. Due to the region of her brain that was affected her disease went unnoticed for several years, until she had a large enough stroke to prompt her to seek medical attention. This diagnosis explained her erratic behavior of the past several years, I have since been homebound, unable to leave mom untended for any length of time and unable to work outside the home due to my mother’s need for the past 3 years.
My mother passed away this past April at the age of 79. She had suffered from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, suffering several major and minor strokes and seizures over the past 6+ years. On April 9th she suffered a massive stroke, lingering for 9 days before passing on the 18th. God rest her soul, I miss her. I loved my mom very much and did everything I could to help her.
To add to the difficulties already faced by our loss, my youngest daughter, who had been living in Ohio with what turned out to be a conman/ junkie twice her age that saw a vulnerable young woman with 3 children and took advantage of that fact, had been physically, verbally and emotionally abusive to all of them for the past 1½ years. 2 weeks before Mom passed, she got in major legal trouble in Ohio and sent my 3 young grandsons to me to raise.
Now, things have turned for the worst... On August 17th we discovered that my eldest daughter took my mother to an attorney and had her write a will leaving everything my mother had to her and excluding me! This abominable act was done 1 month after Hurricane Katrina when ALL of us were distraught and displaced from the storm! My mom was not in her right mind at that time, even though a full diagnosis had not yet been made on her true condition.... Also, in Louisiana, the bar for mental competency is set so low that so long as you are not actively drooling and babbling in front of the judge/attorney/witnesses you are considered competent!! It doesn’t matter if you won’t remember doing it five minutes later either. My mother, in her right mind, would NEVER have disinherited me.
Now, my greedy, self-serving, ungrateful eldest child decided that she will evict us so she can try to sell my mother's home, in which I and my grandsons, her nephews still live, so she can pay off mom's debt, which she exaggerates, and her student loans. She is fully aware of our circumstances, she just doesn’t care. The only transportation I have for my grandsons is the truck my mom gave me before her death, but did not have the money to transfer title on. It is now part of mom’s estate and she took that too.
I called the Clerk in division where probate/ succession on my mom were filed... Clerk said that I need an attorney to file contest to the will, herein lies the problem... there is not 1 single legal aid agency in the ENTIRE New Orleans Metro area that can handle a contested will!! There are also no private attorneys that will handle it either, unless there's big money in it for them, which in this case there is not.
Clerk also said she has no idea why I was never notified. Judge signed off regardless. There seems to be no justice for the poor in this country... since we can't afford to pay the exorbitant fees of a private attorney, which seems to be a necessity to get anything done in the courts. I have tried appealing to my daughter’s sense of decency, but she doesn’t seem to have one. Her actions are despicable and deplorable. I am ashamed to be her mother. It breaks my heart and sickens me to know that I brought such a hateful, selfish, greedy, heartless person into this world. I did not raise her to be that way.
I've called every single legal aid agency in my area; including the Bar Assoc. Lawyer referral service... no one will help because there just isn't any money in it for them... sad state this country is in when the poor cannot get justice anywhere.
We were told by the eviction court judge on Sept 12th, that we have 24 hours to vacate our home... stating that our situation is a matter for probate court. Thankfully, we found a place, however, we still need about $800.00 more to pay the $420.00 we still owe our new landlord to avoid eviction from this new place by the 5th of October plus $365.00 to the light company which will be past due (cut off)on the 7th and includes a new deposit and transfer fee.

I've also called churches and other charitable organizations for help... there are so many families in need in the New Orleans metro area that any help is minimal. ALL homeless shelters are full up with waiting lists so long they are no longer taking applications for assistance.
I have applied for Section 8 housing, but there is a HUGE waiting list. The HUD Section 8 waiting list in Louisiana is backlogged 5+ years and has more than 20,000 applicants still waiting for vouchers, many of whom are currently homeless. They are not accepting any new applicants.
I have contacted EVERY charitable and public/community service agency that I can think of for help... none has been forthcoming as of yet..... Is there ANYONE out there with a heart who can and will help us? I have nowhere else to turn.
I’ve spent days seeking legal help... bottom line... none available... so since if my defense is denied and I can't fight the eviction then we are out on the streets with nowhere to go.
My nerves are shot; the house hunt is not going well.
I am hurt by my daughter’s actions and so sickened over all of this mess that I can barely think straight. I cry myself to sleep every night and awake with tears in my eyes and a rock in the pit of my stomach. Yet I dry them and try to be strong and act as if everything is normal for my grandsons who need me now more than ever. I still haven’t had time to grieve my mother’s death.
We are now faced with trying to find alternate housing that we can afford on the $840.00 a month income that I receive in Kinship Care for my grandsons. Fat chance in this over-priced rental market. Even a 1 bedroom apartment in Crack Alley goes for more than my income in this post-Katrina/Gustav/Ike market.
And it's starting to look like me and my grandsons will be homeless very soon... by the end of the 1st week in October.
Their mother is in prison and their deadbeat, psycho father hasn't been seen in almost 2 years, ever since he beat the hell out of his girlfriend, killed their little dog in front of my boys, stole and trashed her car and ended up in a mental hospital wanting to kill himself... my babies have had enough grief and loss in their lives... they need love, help and compassion.... and a decent place to live... soon!
We’re trying to stay in this area because my boyfriend of 11 years, and my only help, has an elderly, widowed mother who needs his help too. And we are all she has. She cannot take us in because her trailer is very small and there is no room for 5 more people in it.
Work is also scarce and hard to find in the New Orleans metro area due to the huge influx of big out of state companies with their out of state workers getting all of the bigger jobs and contracts and the even larger influx of foreign laborers so severely underbidding the smaller construction jobs, cutting local workers and sub-contractors, like my boyfriend, right out of the job market. Every day he goes out hunting for work taking any job offered.
I have prayed on this so hard and so often since this mess all began. I have put my burden in Jesus' Hands. For He is the only one that can save us. I can only hope that he sends us Angels to deliver us soon, for without help from someone, somewhere here on earth we are lost. I feel so lost and utterly alone... this truly is my darkest hour.
If there is ANYONE out there who can offer assistance, legal, residential, financial, whatever help you can give... please contact me ASAP. I have exhausted all available resources.
Right now, I can barely afford toilet paper to wipe our butts with.
We are thankful and grateful for the help we have received from 5 of my 267 facebook friends, our local churches and the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, as well as some assistance on our utility bill from our local community action organization. That meager help has helped us survive thus far, but our resources are nearly spent. Please have mercy on us and donate whatever you can to help me save my family. If enough people with a heart and some compassion give up just 1 cup of Latte from Starbucks and donate to help save us, we will be able to make it… small donations add up and every little bit helps.
Thank you for listening to my problems and for your consideration of my plight.
May God Bless you tenfold for any help you send us.
Proverbs 3: 3-7
Let not mercy and truth forsakes you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

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.

I received a 10 day "Notice to Vacate" posted on the door August 24, 2011. My daughter wants immediate possession of the property she manipulated/unduly influenced my mentally ill mother into willing to her barely 1 month after Hurricane Katrina. I don't know where we will go. I will have enough money on September 3rd to pay either 1 month's rent or the deposit, but can't raise both in time I have left. I also have the added expenses of my regular utility bills and new expenses for the transfer of utility services and/or deposits, and transportation. So I need to raise about $2000.00 within the coming 2 week period.
I have tried appealing to my daughter’s sense of decency, but she doesn’t seem to have one. Her actions are despicable and deplorable. I am ashamed to be her mother.

Even a 1 bedroom apartment in “Crack Alley” goes for more than my income in this post-Katrina/Gustav/Ike market.
And it's starting to look like me and my grandsons will be homeless very soon... by the end of the 1st week in September.
Their mother is in prison and their deadbeat, psycho father hasn't been seen in almost 2 years, ever since he beat the hell out of his girlfriend, killed their little dog in front of my boys, stole and trashed her car and ended up in a mental hospital wanting to kill himself... my babies have had enough grief and loss in their lives... they need love, help and compassion.... and a decent place to live... soon!
We’re trying to stay in this area because my boyfriend of 11 years, and my only help, has an elderly, widowed mother who needs his help too. And we are all she has. She cannot take us in because her trailer is very small and there is no room for 5 more people in it.
Work is also scarce and hard to find in the New Orleans metro area due to the huge influx of big out of state companies with their out of state workers getting all of the bigger jobs and contracts and the even larger influx of foreign laborers so severely underbidding the smaller construction jobs, cutting local workers and sub-contractors, like my boyfriend, right out of the job market. Every day he goes out hunting for work taking any job offered.
I have prayed on this so hard and so often since this mess all began. I have put my burden in Jesus' Hands. For He is the only one that can save us. I can only hope that he sends us an Angel to deliver us soon, for without help from someone, somewhere here on earth we are lost. I feel so lost and utterly alone... this truly is my darkest hour.
If there is ANYONE out there who can offer assistance, legal, residential, financial, whatever help you can give... please contact me ASAP. I have exhausted all available resources.
I need at least 2 bedrooms in a safe neighborhood... my total income is $840.00 per month... Right now, I can barely afford toilet paper to wipe our butts with.
We are thankful and grateful for the help we have received from our local churches and the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, as well as some assistance on our utility bill from our local community action organization. That meager help has helped us survive thus far, but our resources are nearly spent. Please have mercy on us and donate whatever you can to help me save my family… every little bit helps.
Thank you for listening to my problems and for your consideration of my plight.
May God Bless you tenfold for any help you send us.
Proverbs 3: 3-7
Let not mercy and truth forsakes you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Put very simply, my girlfriend of 6 months and best friend of nearly a year needs money for school. Due to her and her family's lack of money she can no longer attend the school where we met. The alternative is a community college except that it is 45 minutes away from her house. She will not even be able to generate enough revenue from her two jobs to pay for school and gas to get to school. It is heartbreaking for me to watch the girl that I love go from a top flight university to not even being able to go to school. To further the problems, the community college has a limit on the private loans you can take out. She needs about $15,000 dollars for things to feasibly work out. She can use loans for 7,000 of that. Her mom lives paycheck to paycheck to take care of the three kids and her dad is out of the picture since he cheated on her mom and left. This is my last ditch effort to help her out. I guess I am not expecting this to work but it's work a try, right? I want to extend my deepest gratitude for anyone who gives this the time of day or even sends their sympathies.

I am a 38yr old male living in scotland where i work all the hours god sends as a cop.
i was married for 13years in what i thought was a wonderful relationship until it went sour when my ex wife ran up horrendous debts i knew nothing about and finally about 2 years ago it took its toll and ended,this left me having to move out of the home into rented accom where i still am and having to settle most of my ex wifes debts leaving me penniless.
THAT to me really dos'nt matter to me though what matters is the fact that of the absolutely catastrophic affect it had on my beautiful wee daughter who i adore more than life.
I try my best juggling work to see her every second day but with paying maintenance,rent,clearing the debts i mentioned before when it comes to near the end of the month i am having to beg, steal and borrow just to put a decent dinner in front of my daughter.
i am a hardworking man who has never shirked my responsibilities in any way but now i am just broken and desperate i feel like a total failure as a father and as a human being.
I REALLY NEED HELP FROM SOMEONE!!!!!
all i want to do is raise £2000 sterling so i can clear my feet and be able to give my daughter the things i should be able too as a father.
through everything my daughter has given me her total undying love and devotion ,it is her a 9yr old who has constantly dried my eyes when things have got on top of me put her arms round me and told me it will be allright daddy. i just want to repay that.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP I AM TRUELY DESPERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since I was in middle school, I've wanted to attend NYU Tisch School of the Arts for Music Theater. Now half of my dream has come true! I have been accepted into their program! Unfortunately, I cannot pay for it. After my aid awards, expenses are $40,000 a year, and I can't take out a lot of loans! My dad lives in Peru and never sends me a dime, my grandma is ill and unemployed, and my mom is a teacher who is currently undergoing a salary freeze. As the child of a single parent, I have don't necessarily have the funds to pay for my education! My mom can't take out any loans, so all of the loans would be in my name, and there is no way I can ever pay off all this money! I'm Latin American, fluent in spanish, have a 104% cumulative GPA, am second in my class, have a 2200 cumulative SAT score, almost 300 hours of community service, volunteer for four organizations, have one lots of random awards/honors...do I really need to say more? I've worked my butt off to get this far! And all of this hard work has sadly reaped very little aid. Please, if you have any extra cash, help me go to college!

I need help. I am deeply in debt due to many years of depression and drug addiction.

I have two young children and a third on the way.

I have been clean now for two years.

I lost my job of ten years last November through redundancy and because of a criminal record from my youth I rarely even get an interview so have struggled to find a job.

My partner who has stuck by me the whole time got a good job at the begining of the year and that has helped us with the rent and the utility bills.

Where we struggle is in paying off the debts and having a little extra to treat the boys and save for the next one.

All I ask is that if everybody that reads this sends me £1 that will make all the difference to me and my family.

plz email me at ajd3288@live.co.uk with details of where you can send the money.

Thanks.

Adam
