Sept Tags

I recently started a relationship with a nice guy that has helped me financially, even though he has no obligation with me (20) and my daughter (4). As a college student I have been struggling financially but with his help I was doing better. Unfortunately, he has not been able to work because his truck was stolen and dismantled. We filed a stolen report but when they found the truck it was too late. Then we used all the savings we had to buy a cheap car just to move around. Unfortunately the car was taken away by the police because my boyfriend has no license and well his not able to get a license. For the past months we have struggled a lot because we have no method of transportation but the worst part is that his not able to work as much because he has no truck or car. What is left of the truck is in the junk yard and the car is still in the impound because we cannot afford to take it out. I am desperate to ask for help because we are running out of money, I have 1000 left in the bank and we only have about 200 coming in every two weeks. If we do the math we won’t make it until I receive my next financial aid in Sept. That’s four month that we have to pay bills, which sum: rent, student loan, credit cards, gas & electricity, food, phone & internet and more, 435+90+65+65+65+65+90+20+20= 915 x 4 months = 3660. Please help us pass this rough patch, so I can keep my small family and continue my education.

i'm a single father of 2 young children...i lost my job 3 years ago and decided to go back to school and get my cpa...i figured unemployment would last till i got my associate degree...well it ran out in sept and it is now april and i have made it this far with the money i saved but i dont get my degree untill aug if anybody could give me $2500 dollars that would pay my bills till then...i just got a part time job at wal-mart but since i did that they cut my foodstamps in half....so please if anybody out there understands please help

Hi there,

I am waiting for the IRS to approve my startup 501C3 which you need to solicit money through the site Causes. My new company will help the returning troops with IT support more specifically the parents of the injured troops. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to buy IT equipment etc. Thank you and GOD Bless.

I have 2 other startups as well since I was laid off in Sept.. things are a bit slow with the economy LOL.. :)

Thank you for your consideration.
Alex

got laid off from my job last sept sold my car to pay rent before unemployment kicked in been trying my best to save for a car but after 5 months have only been able to save $500 need atleast 2000 for something reliable dont need anything special just four wheels and goes vroom beep beep girlfriends pregnant, must have been all the extra free time on my hands anything will help as it will surely add up

On March 27, 2011 (my mom's 73rd Birthday) she suffered from a hemorrhagic stroke (ruptured aneurysm) She had her 1st & 2nd brain surgey within the next few days and she spent 5 weeks in ICU then 6 weeks in Rehab. She made a great recovery.

In Sept 2011 she had another brain surgery to repair a second aneurysm which she also recovered well from. In December of 2011 she suffered another minor stroke.

this time she is not recovering very well. she is having a lot of difficulty walking and climbing the stairs. She is physically capable of taking the stairs, however she is absolutely terrified that she may fall and will not use the stairs.

I'm unable to get her out of the house to go to doctor appointments and to physical therapy. We can't even go out to eat (mom's favorite thing to do) Since she cannot safely climb the stairs anymore we need to build a wheelchair ramp or get a wheelchair stair-trac lift.

With me missing so much work do to moms situation and my own health conditions I've lost my job. Unemployment barely pays my bills and moms social security covers her bills we cannot afford to buy the lumber required to build a ramp.... I have volunteers to build a ramp but no building supplies :( If anyone could help us even with $5.00 it adds up.

I've desperately been searching the globe for any resources whatsoever to help build a ramp for our home. any organizations out there want to put a lien on the home and mom does not want that to happen.

In april of 2007 i lost my job. I had money saved up and was able to pay rent for about three months. i could not find a job though and then found out my landlady could not make her mortgage. I ended up in a hotel on unemployment. After three months i lost the unemployment and ended up homeless for 9 months from dec. 07 until sept. 08. I have no family to go to because my mother died when i was 13 and my father is unknown so i was stuck. I was able to get a dishwashing job for about a year and after 6 months of paperwork move into a hud building. I have now been unemployed for 2 and half years and am trying to find work but have not.

In 2009 I lost my job of 15 yrs.
In June,2010 I was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, after my kidneys began to fail, denied disability insurance.
In Aug 2010, my unemployment ended.
In Sept, 2010 the state I live in (KY) places a lien on all my property for unpaid hospital bill ($23,000)
March of 2012, still unemployed and fearful of losing the roof over my head.
It was very hard for me to beg, but I feel I have no other outlet!!! PLEASE HELP!!! I will provide any needed documentation of proof!!!!

Hi
My husband, who is a Vietnam vet, passed away recently (October 8th, 2011) from Bone and Lung Cancer at home. First of all, he wanted to spend the rest of his life home with me and our pets (three Mini Dachshunds and two kitties). Also, the VA wouldn't be able to control his pain enough so that he could enjoy the remainder of his life so he went under Hospice care. They strive for quality of life and they were amazing.

The problem with that was that when you die at home, the VA covers nothing at all. Had he died in the VA they would've covered his funeral expenses. We didn't have life insurance. He had started a policy, but the bill for the first payment came in on Monday, the 10th. He died Saturday the 8th.

He died here at home and then was placed in the funeral home morgue until we could come up with enough of a down payment for his funeral (I believe it was $2000.00) I still owe something around $5,000. He stayed in that morgue for around three weeks before we could gather up that money. Not a good way to treat a vet at all.

I had left my job to take care of and be with him until he died, this is what he wanted. We didn't have insurance or any kind of state medical help. We lived on his disability check that he received monthly. There are no survivor benefits, VA or Social Security I've been told either. We had only been married a year. We have been together since 2002, but got married Sept. 21, 2010. We had our first anniversary a couple weeks before he died. As far as I know, SS people have told me we must have been married for ten years in order to get any kind of survivor benefits.

We had sold our boat, truck, and spent any money that we had toward our living expenses and to help with down-payment on funeral.

Now, I'm back to work but it is part time, I make $7.50 per hour (sometimes as little as 20 hours every two weeks). Telephone survey taker. I don't qualify for state help other than food stamps.

I've been looking for work since he died and not getting any responses at all. I am on the Michworks website numerous times a day, every day besides checking the local papers, and any other things I can think of.

Right now as I write this, I am due to lose our home (we rented this for the last nine years). My rent was due on the first. I have borrowed money, sold household items, and gotten help from the area charity places that I could. Every month has been a struggle and every month I think "okay, I've gotten the rent paid this month and I SHOULD have a new job by the next time the rent is due", but sadly it is not working that way. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm beginning to lose faith. I absolutely cannot get rid of our pets either. I promised I would never let anything happen to them and I wont. Besides, they are our little ones, our family that we had together. They are also what is keeping me going. I cannot imagine life without them and him too.

I am at the end of my rope now. I didn't want to resort to this and it really is a blow but I don't know what else to do anymore.

I hope that there is someone out there that will read this and be able to help me somehow.

Thank you so much.

I have been out of work since Sept 1st due to a major stomach surgery. My husband owns a construction company and Dec 13th, he fell off of a roof and broke his back. He was airlifted to have surgery and remained in hospital for 2 weeks. He is home now, but cannot work for at least 6 months. I have looked for a job everywhere and thusfar have been unsuccessful in locating one. Our monthly bills are well over $2000 and we have absolutely no income. I have been to the local church and they gave me some food for which I am grateful, but it wasn't much and it was a one time deal. I am so scared that I am getting ready to lose everything. I have a 12 yr old honor student and I don't want her to have to change schools, which will happen if we lose our home. Any help would be appreciated, Food, Money, or good paying job in teh Emerald Isle, NC area.

Hello, I found myself in a bad spot. I have a 12 week old baby and we just moved to Arkansas from North Carolina in Sept of 2011 because of Hurricane Irene. My car made the drive here and we have been doing ok, I have a place to stay now and working and paying the bills, but now my car broke down and I did find someone who can fix my car but it will cost about 900 dollars to fix, but I dont have that kind of money and I dont have anyone I can turn to, to ask for help. I need to have my car because my baby has shots and dr appointments as well as myself have dr appointments. Any help would be great!

I am looking for some type of help so that my children don't have to go without a Christmas. I am a divorced mother of three who is not recieving child support anymore from their dead beat father. I worked 60 hours a week until I got sick and have to go in for surery the end of Nov (30th) with a 2-4 week recovery. I have been told I will have a job but that is still to be determinded when I am able to return. I have had to get my parents to pay basic bills in the house but they don't have much either. If anyone could help it would be a great blessing for my children. I do have a truck that is on it's last leg and expired inspection since sept because I can't afford to pay for that either. I am greatful for any help that I can recieve. I have been to the local social services and salvation army but the toys for tots are too late I am told. Thank you for any responses and if you are unable to help a prayer is also appricated. THANK YOU and God bless

My son was home schooled on his last year in high school. He applied to the University of Alaska and was accepted and also was granted financial aid. Being a home school grad, he was required to take a test or GED. He opted to take the test so I agreed to send him to Alaska but he failed it by 2 points. Then he decided to take the GED and attend class Spring 2012. One day when he dropped his friends at school, he was stopped by a policeman (i don't know what for) and then was taken to the police station and detained for questioning for at least 8 hours. He asked to speak to a lawyer 2x but no lawyer was provided and they stopped talking to him. While detained, the police searched his apartment, truck, took his laptop, and cell phone. His apartment and his truck did not have any of the items they were looking for. They released him and 20 minutes later they arrested him. The only evidence the police have so far is that one of defendants also being accused of the same crime stated that my son was involved. This other defendant, come to find out has a record of stealing. My son insist that he did not do this crime and he is innocent and that he was not even in the area when the crime happened. He has an attorney now and has taken a look at my sons’ case. So far the DA has a photo of his truck at a gas station near his apartment at 6 P.M. This is not unusual since this is where buys his diesel fuel. The crime happened between 10-45-11:00 P.M. after the store closed. This is all the evidence so far. I am writing to beg you for a donation to bail out my son until his court date. We are asking donation for the following: his bail is $40,000 which we need $4000 cash and we are putting up our house as collateral for the remaining $30,000. The lawyer fee is $7500 and our balance is $2400. In addition to the bail, court also requires a third party custodian before an inmate can be released on bail. A custodian is someone who will watch over my son 24/7. My husband, daughter and I will be his third party custodians and we will fly to Alaska and set up another household. We need the 3 of us to be custodians because we also have another son who is a senior in high school and we the parents both want to attend his graduation. When we get there, we will go to my sons bond hearing and also for approval of third party custodian. My husband and I will alternate every 30 days so we can see both our sons. When my youngest son graduates, my daughter will be the custodian while we attend the graduation. We also need approximately $3500 for living expense until I get my first check from work. I have secured employment in Alaska and my son will also look for and secure employment. He has been in jail since Sept 20,2011 and we want to bail him out on Nov. 4, 2011. Total donation we are asking for $9900.00. s Can you find it in your heart to donate money to help us?

My husband, myself and 3 boys recently lost our home and possessions to a house fire on Sept 11, 2011. Thankfully no one was injured. We are finding it extremely hard to replace what we lost, ie clothing, food, furniture, appliances. We have suffered a great deal of stress from the unexpected financial burden this has created. As a mother of 3 growing boys please help ease the pain and help us move on from this. 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.

My name is Julie. I am writing in hopes of finding some help for my current financial situation. I sincerely hope that this is real and that someone can offer some help soon. I really do need some help and I am searching for some alternatives. I have applied for gov’t. help but have not found any hope so far.

I am currently unemployed and not quite sure what to do about it. Although I am looking for work I am not finding what I need. I truly believe that if I could just find a way to make it till the end of Oct, I can make things work out and be back on my feet financially.

I never felt like I needed a glamorous lifestyle, but I do need to survive. My youngest daughter is still living with me and my granddaughter (Rebecca) recently moved in also. She is ten and needed to get out of a negative environment. I am trying to help them, but the situation is taking a toll on my ability to keep up and accomplish what needs to be done.

Rebecca’s mom, my oldest daughter, was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP) at birth. Although she overcame many of the common symptoms of CP, her condition has deteriorated since she entered her twenties. Rebecca’s dad, we recently discovered, has long since suffered from severe mental illnesses. He was recently admitted to a psychiatric ward and later moved into long-term nursing care. Because of my daughters’ mental and physical handicaps she is not able to properly care for Rebecca by herself.

I was this family’s greatest advocate to keeping them together as a family unit and I hate that things have worked out the way they have. But I believe I am only beginning to understand the depth of the problems this way of life has had on Rebecca and how much she needs me.

She is a very smart 10 years old, but exhibits behaviors associated with mental disease. She has been labeled learning delayed and I am frustrated that her delay is caused by the learned behaviors of her parents and not because of her intelligence or ability to learn.

Although Rebecca is in a much better place now, I am struggling to make it financially. I have been working on some projects and am hopeful that with a bit more time, they will work out. Right now I am in danger of loosing our apartment and not having a place to live, as I have not been able to come up with all of the money for rent for September yet. I still need 425.00 for Sept rent, and 242.00 for the past due on the light bill. I have not given up and am continuing to find ways to make it all work out.

I figured up what I need to catch up the necessary bills and expenses through the end of October. I need to come up with $2,215 to make it to the end of October. I sincerely believe that I will be able to get things back on track by Nov, if there is any way I can find a way to catch up.

I feel that I should ask for what I need and be really grateful for any help that I receive. I have always tried to help others in their times of need and always encouraged the pay it forward process. I do hope that what goes around comes around for me this time.

You can contact me through email at jklmiester@gmail.com

Thank you for taking the time to consider this information and request, It is so hard to get the whole point across in just one page, but I did not want to take up too much of your time. I truly hope you can help us out.

Sincerely,
Julie Miester

I don't know how to do this properly, but I will be honest.

My husband's teeth are really bad, he had his jaw broken 10 years ago and has since lost all of his top teeth and his bottoms are all broken. He has an infection in his jaw that could go to his heart but we can't afford to get his bottom teeth pulled. He is currently 20+ lbs underweight and malnourished. He also has a mass in his bladder that we can't afford to have biopsied, even though he has a referral.

We have no income because he is unable to work and I am disabled but still fighting Social Security for any assistance, with little success.

Neither of us use drugs or alcohol, though we do have a few friends that will smoke marijuana with us occasionally.

I try to donate plasma as often as I am able, but I have to go on days that my disability isn't apparent to them, so they don't ban me, as I, technically, can't afford the loss of white blood cells.

We have sold everything of value in our home and at this point we will be losing electric and internet on Wed, Sept 14th, 2011. My daughter is 18 but can't get a job due to the fact that we cannot afford the $10 to get a copy of her original birth certificate, so she cannot get an i.d.

We have no vehicle and take a rolling suitcase to the grocery when our foodstamps come, but due to bus fare, this is becoming increasingly difficult.

There are a lot of things that I, personally, need and go without, but I am genuinely most concerned with my husband and I growing old together, which won't happen if his health continues to decline. He is 39, I am 36, we have been together 16 years.

I don't know if this rant will do any good, but for the love of all that is holy, I hope someone, somewhere, sees it and feels compelled to investigate the reality of our situation.

Most sincerely,
Lori, Nick, and Brit

My beautiful baby girl (age 2.5 yrs old) has been thru more in her short life than most have ever been thru. She is so strong and a fighter, and honestly stronger than me. Her 4th major surgery is Sept 13th. Her last surgery did not work. She has 2 birth defects (lip pits and cleft palate) as well as 2 syndromes (Pierre Robin and Van Der Woude). It has completely altered her life as she has never been able to eat, speak, or breathe correctly as a baby and toddler SHOULD. I am barely making ends meet working what little I can around her special needs and I don't get child support or government assistance...but it's looking like I am going to have to look into it. Please help. I cannot possibly work anymore hours and I am about to have to take almost a month off for her surgery and recovery :( I have no family that can help me out and if I don't pay Sept's rent by the 15th, I will be up for eviction. My power is paid up til Oct thank goodness but my water bill will be due in 2 weeks. Please help :(

I was hospitalized for 2 months and as a farmer many of my crop was destroyed because nobody look after it and the land i used for farming i lease for 3 years. During my time in the hospital, my loving wife had to borrow from loan-shark to pay my hospital bills and our children need. I didn't know this. I thought she had been borrowing money from her relatives. She borrowed $800 and now the loan has accumulated to $1400. I have try to beg to the loan-shark for extensions but they seem heartless and demanded it be paid within 20 days from now. I have sold my only motorbike for $300 and now i need to find another $1100 to pay the loan-shark. I know terrible thing could happen to my wife and me. I really love my family. I don't care if anything happen to me, but not to my family. So i put my pride aside and with humble heart i seek help to the people of the world to help my family out of this misery. My health condition has not been good ever since i have to get out of the hospital because of the bills. Therefore, it really difficult for me to find extra incomes.I hope there would be someone that could help me to pay for the loan that have trapped my family. I would repay the the loan to those that are willing too help me. But I can only pay back around $50 each month which i can do through my paypal. I hopefully there are people that willing to donate or give loan to me to pay those loan shark. Thank you for reading this.

To beglist.org, i really appreciate that you guys care to help people in trouble. I want to pay the 9.95 but for the time being i got no money. However, i promised to donate that 9.95 once i got the money. Thank you guys.

PS. I'll be posting the tally of donation that I receive here daily. Once I got the total money needed I'll stop accepting anymore money.

Hi, my name is Mark and I desperately need to come up with $200 by Sept. 1st. I would really appreciate your kindness and would pay it forward to Phx. Childrens hospital. Thank-you in advance and God bless!

hi, my name is patty, and im a 46 year old nursing student. I am newly married, and my two grown sons live with me.we have lost our jobs, and now we are about to be locked out of our home (eviction) on sept. 1st. I am scared and nervous about this, and it has taken a toll on my studies and my health. We are trying very hard to take care of all of this, but we have ran out of options, and have turned to asking strangers for health. We have nowhere to go, and no family or friends can help with this. We are honest, hardworking Christians who need just temporary help. a place to live, jobs, and transportation, this stability will help us to get back on our feet. I am hopeful, and see alot of good things coming our way. My faith is strong.
God bless and thank you in advance

I was stupid enough to drop out of college, but now I'm going back. I don't qualify for financial aid, and so I spent almost all of my money paying part of tuition. I'm just over $2000 short and need to find a way to get that money by the first week of sept.

I'm doing everything I can to raise that money ie. scrapping, working, selling off everything. i'm worried too that i won't be able to make ends meet even if i can go back. I'm really in a lot of trouble and appreciate any help I can get from here.

Bless you if you can make a donation.
