Shift Tags

I've been battling a mysterious illness for over a year. I can't keep food down. I've had a boat load of tests, ultrasounds, endoscopies and blood work and everything came back normal. All I have now are a ton of medical bills and no answers. To make things worse I'm generally able to work a lot of overtime at work. Ever since this illness set in I'm lucky if I can make through my entire shift. Please help me. I will be forever grateful.

Hello. I lost my job when my daughter with spina bifida got severly burned at her fathers house and she had to go into the hospital. I had to call in less than 2 hours before my shift, and they said if I didnt show up for my shift I would be a no call no show. Im sorry but my daughter comes first. That was 2 months ago. I have been viligently looking for a job since, and finally found one. It is to start on may 21st. To answer eveyones first question, I have pawned my tv and wii to get gad money to look for jobs, and to get my daughter back and fourth to drs appointments, and to get myself back and fourth to drs appointments and surgery, as they are 95% sure I have breast cancer. I will know for sure this week. I tried to take out a title loan, but they wont let me due to no income. I am at the point where begging is my only option as I have no family or friends that can help. I have asked the labor workforce and community action, salvation army, ect, and they cant help. I am nit asking for it to be just given, just a loan til I get paid. If anyone can help, even 5 dollars, it would help. Thank you so much.

Me and my husband were doing great he just got a new job and i was almost finished school. Well i still waiting to finish school and my husband lost his job and we are about to be on the street and neither one of us have ever lived on the street. we have asked my family but no one will help us. i have been trying to find a night shift job. but we are now down to the wire we cant pay our rent our car payment or insurance and we are about to be on the street. Now my husband just got a job but it still not going to be enough to afford our bills i have tried from unemployment but dont think i will get it because i voulenteerly left my job back in feb to finish school trying to be a medical assistant, but if we lose our apartment and our car i wont be able to get to my school or my site for my externship and we dont have the money to do anything please can someone help us

Hey my name is Hannah and I'm 16. I dont know how i feel about asking for help from total strangers but at this point I'm pretty desperate. My mom has kicked me out because her boyfriend doesnt approve of my sexuality. While I'm working a part time shift at a local deli, school work often requires me to have someone cover my shift. I am working towards being emancipated so i can officially be out on my own, but first i have to prove to the court that I am able to steadily support myself. I would greatly appreciate the support if you are financially able to do so. If not, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

I have never asked anyone for anything in my life but now at 48 i am at a loss and need help . I will try to make a long
story shot . My wife my youngest daughter (10) and my youngest son (12) have been living in a family owned apartment
building for 8 years now as the caretakers so rent free before this we lived in another apartment building for 12 years
as caretakers again rent free it is important to note that my wife and i do work as well and we make ok money not great
but we scrape by. The issue(s) are the family member has decided out of the blue with no warning to sell the building out
from under us. This will literlally put us on the street with no where to go see my son has several medical issues and
since we had no rent to pay keeping up with the prescriptions and such was doable some months are tough but we always scrape
by. The fact is we simply cannot afford to move into a rental situation we would be looking at an extra $750 a month minimum
that we simply do not have my job pays well but its all graveyard shift and only 35 hours a week i keep this job so i can be
up with the kids while the wife goes to her job and to run the building do repairs etc its a rough system but it works well
in that we can both work and not have to worry about child care . I have this chance to buy a piece of land about 10 minutes
from the city with a 3 bedroom mobile home on it the property tax is only $1200 a year. I cannot afford to just buy it outright
i would rather not try to finance it as that would give us a monthly bill that we simply can't afford right now i do not expect
to get all the money needed from here but every little bit would help we do have a modest savings account not much but with that
and if some kind souls on here could see there way clear to helping us we may be able to raise enough so i can at least make a
down payment the property owner is very sympathetic to our plight and is willing to work with us if we can come up with a good
down payment he is willing to take lower monthly payments over a longer period of time until it is payed off. My family would
certainly appreciate any help anyone can give us . Thank you for reading .

Hello, I am a young college student who is struggling to stay in school financially and better my life. Growing up my family actually went down in class from working class to working poor. My old home was and still is in terrible shape. The loss of relatives and equaled loss of income sources, and the house just fell apart and turned into a hoarding house. As a child, I dreamed of having more and it was suggested that the way to upward mobility was through college. I chose to take this route, but I didn't realize how difficult it would be for a low income student to stay in school. If I don't get and opportunity to make some money while in school, then I can't finish.
I need a full-time 2nd or 3rd shift job, or I need part-time job where I am guaranteed at least 20 hours and $8.00 per hour. It is a struggle to stretch a financial aid refund check for literally 6 months to cover expenses during school and living when school is not in session. I need this job to be in Greensboro, NC. I am open to all job possibilities, but I need to not travel with this job. I have to just go to the job site, perform my task, and go home. I have many skills, but my best assets are my trainability and enthusiasm for learning. I also am resourceful and will adapt to whatever situation I am in. If you would like contact me for a position you may email me at lwillia3@ncat.edu. I would greatly appreciate any opportunity that could come my way. Thank you in advance, and God bless.

i would like to get some kind of help of getting a car. I am on a limited income and can't afford the high prices of getting a car. The reason that I need a car is for my doctors appointments and keep up with them. I have a total of 4 doctors ranging from my primary to my neurologist. I have serious health issues and it is kind of hard to walk up a hill with having Diabetic Neuropathy in hands, feet, and lower half of my right leg. I also have kidney disease and I do hurt almost everyday. Please help me with a car. Yes I can drive a stick shift.

My wife has lupus. As a result we moved across the country to a new state to better her condition. As a consequence, I have not been able to find a job and her insurance is quickly running out. She is getting better, however, she still depends upon a cocktail of medications to ensure her daily well-being.

I have tried for several months to land a job-any job, but with no luck. I am a published author and an historian with a background in archaeology and geology. My wife and I try to lead normal, quiet lives the best we can with her condition. I suffer from epilepsy and as a result I cannot work a night-shift as this will trigger myoclonic seizures.
My wife and I daily make sales on Amazon and eBay and I have been published several times in national publications and have given oral history presentations.

I am trying the best I can in this tempestuous economy to create a healthy, stable home for my wife. However, with the looming threat of limited income and no insurance I can only do so much. I have attempted to create a book dealer business through eBay and Amazon and this has generated some income to supplement my writing income, but this is not enough to support my sick wife.
We try to stay active and engender a healthy lifestyle to encourage her recovery. I am still seeking employment, but as many of you know it is a tough battle. I love my wife very much and am thankful for the care and help she has received thus far. However, I cannot do this alone.

Anything you can do to help is appreciated. We will pay this forward.


Thank you.

Hello all ladies and gentlemen. I am in need of whatever kind of help I can get. I am a young full-time college student, and I'm trying to pull myself up by my own bootstraps so to speak. I grew up in a crowded house with my mom, grandma, great-grandma, uncle, and little sister. I didn't grow up with much money, but I always had what I needed. As I got older my family's financial worsen as the adults started dying off. All of the adults contributed to this pot, and when we lost an adult we lost contributions that were detrimental to our livelihood. Meanwhile I was a stellar student and had aspirations outside of my living conditions. This sometimes didn't float well with my family, and it showed in their actions often. I realize now, that they probably didn't want me to discover how disappointing it is when you hit and miss. I feel like that happened to them often.
I realize this is a long story, but maybe this background information can help you understand why I am asking for what I am asking. I think I am from the first (or one of the first) generations where college was thrown down everyone's throats. We're the classic Barney, Arthur, and Sesame Street kids. I don't know if the Baby Boomers were as forced as we are. After all, this is suppose to lead to upward mobility. I was fed that if I did not take this route, then I would be destined to poverty and an uncertain future. I realize now this future is even more uncertain than what I was expecting it to be. I've learned that a college degree doesn't guarantee certainty, and that you actually need quite a bit of help just to get through.
I am and have been own my own since I started college 3 years ago. Forget not having the extra money when I need at times. I don't have a strong support system, and my house at home is almost unlivable now. I do not have my license or a car because no one practiced driving with me, and I can't afford to pay for driving school, the car, and the insurance to get me started. I got tired of having to leave campus and figuring out where I was going next and how I was going to get there, so I found a student friendly apartment. It's nice to not have to move because I usually don't have help, but I am struggling to keep it. I am desperately seeking work in whatever kind of way I can have it. I get full financial aid, but it's hard to stretch 2 refund checks over an entire year.
I'm finally getting to the point. I currently live and study in Greensboro, NC. I am a dean's list engineering student. I learn most things quickly, and I am not afraid of real work. I need a full-time job or a part-time one that will give me 20 hours + a week. I would prefer 2nd or 3rd shift, but if I have to take a break from school to get myself together I will. I will take any resources that can give me some good leads on scholarships, internships, fellowships, and co-ops. Lastly I will take any financial help I can get while I'm waiting on the others. I feel like all of these things will help me get to a more manageable point in my life. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have been only getting one shift a week at my work.I used to get full time work.I have been looking for a new job or a second job but It's taking longer than i would like.I owe Shaw cable,rent,personal loan,payday advance.Amount i owe in total is $432.00 all together.I don't drink,smoke,or do drugs. Anything you could spare would be very helpful.I hope It's not my fault for needing money.

Due to the bad economy i have only one shift a week. I use to get full time hours.I'm looking for a new job but finding a new job or second job is taking longer than i would like.I owe bills like Shaw cable,personal loan,rent,payday loan,ect.I don't drink or smoke or do drugs.Amount I'm behind in total is $432.00 all together.But every dollar helps anything you could spare no matter how small would be very kind of you.As far as i know of it's not my fault for my money troubles.

I have been working on a project for the past 3 years and when I am just about ready to request a 6000 loan to fund the 1rst phase of the development of my project, life could'nt be any harder.
I am confronting major credit card debt. Note that I am just 24 years old with a great sense of entrepreneurship. Four years ago, my brother used my social to get himself a 30 thousand dollar new car, I was naive and young, so I let him. He could not pay the bills and my record is completely sabotaged. I am also struggling to pay a 5000 school loan which has been defaulted in 2009.
Graduating in 2010 from college with a Finance degree, I thought a good job would help me overcome these hardship, but I have yet to even get a job.
I am truly struggling to get a business in place and shift in a new direction as an entrepreneur. I need help from some generous people, who know that success is shared deep from the bottom of the heart with those who will one day follow the same path. I am seriously in need of a financial assistance and I thank you in advance for your generosity.

My wife is a nurse. She works Hospice. For the twenty plus years I've known her, the one thing I could say about her is that she is a very giving person. The things she does to make sure everyone else is cared for, the way she puts everyone else before herself, are some of her best defining characteristics. Our son, bless him, is almost exactly like her. But now, as the holidays loom, she's become very ill.

My wife had uterine cancer. They performed surgery this weekend, and were surprised to find a lot more cancer outside the uterus and of a more aggressive type than their tests indicated.

Now we are looking at at least 6 months of chemo and radiation therapy. She goes in this weekend to have another tumor biopsied.

She's on leave of absence from work. I have a job, but it pays terribly. I'm looking for something better. When it was just going to be one surgery and done, we knew things would get tight, but her recovery would let her get back to work without us losing anything. Now with her being out of work a further six months, we just don't know how we're going make it all work.

We're on a medical card now, so the bills from her treatment are paid. We get food stamps, so we can eat. What we don't have is a way to pay the mortgage or car payment or any of the other bills that come up on a monthly basis. My paychecks are far from enough. I'm going to work every shift they give me, but by myself, I can't do it.

Every little bit helps. Thank you, and god bless.

I am starting school in one week. I am so excited to finally do something with my life finally. My high school years were ruined because I came down with a serious illness that took me out of school for a whole year. I worked hard to regain my missing credits but it took me an extra year and I got very discouraged. I have used those hard time to motivate me to do something better with my life. I am currently stuck at a dead end job as a shift leader at a Little Caesars Pizza. I am working 40 hours a week and barely paying my bills. My parents are going to try to help me out as much as they can but there is still about $10,000 of my tuition that I have no idea where I am going to get it. I have been working hard to find a new job but without a degree in this economy makes it almost impossible to find a job. Any amount will help me even if it is as low as one dollar. I still believe there are many great people in this world. All you need is one chance to show it. Please help me and you will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for reposting this, but my account details were wrong. Thank you in advance for listening.

Hello, I am a mommy of 2 ages 6 and 13 and a loving wife of 15 years. My husband and I are happily married and proud parents. He is a hard worker and good provider, I am a stay at home mom, our youngest has many health issues that prevent him from going to school, so I home school him. We are truly positive people with an abundance of faith. We seem to be that couple who everyone can turn to whenever they need help, whatever it may be. We always do our best to help others out...no questions asked. Unfortnately now we have fallen to the position of being the ones and need and seem to be all on our own.
This started nearly a year ago, we were living happily in a place we had always wanted to be. My husband worked a graveyard shift, one night while he was workin an intruder came into our home and brutally attacked me physically and more... Thankfully by the grace of God our kids were safe, one asleep and the older one kept her brother safe as she heard everything. Needless to say, we no longer felt safe in our home, and I was barely functioning. My husband did all he could to make us all feel safe. But the only thing I could think of is that we needed to move, and far away. So we did. We moved 3 hours away to our home town, hoping to find comfort in family. This is where our financial struggles began, a big sudden move like that nearly wiped us of our savings and my husband took quite a pay cut. But still the positives out wieghed the negative. Finally months later I began to realize I could turn this into something good, so I went back to school. With making less $ I was approved for financial aid. All was ok, and then this semester I went to register for school and I couldn't because they had overpaid me on financial aid so I now have an $765 balance that I have to pay before I can even get back into school. We had been relying on financial aid and student loans to help keep us afloat through out the year. Not even a week after that we were headed on an end of summer road trip and our truck broke down 175 miles from our home. We had to have it towed at $4 per mile plus an $85 hook up fee, so nearly $800. Now they are charging us another $400 to replace a part that cost only $80. So, the truck is still there. It seems now that every week something else keeps coming up. We just need help to catch up, just get over this slump. Our account is now in the negative because we have to get food and things just to get through the week. We have looked into payday loans, and I'm afraid that would just make matters worse. Especially since they only offer $300 which won't even cover the negative acct we already have. We've sold old clothes and other items we had on craigslist to help with gas and food. We are out of options now. We only need help or a loan to get through to January and by then with any luck I can get my financial aid and student loans. Any help is greatly appreciated. Its a horrible feeling to not know what is coming next or to know if we will continue to get poured on or if finally the sun may start shining again soon. Thank you for listening to my story.

I'm struggling to find a job in London for 7 months and I tried everything from applying for a care work to cash in hand such as cleaning jobs but it was unsuccessful because I failed because I didn't met the employers requirements.

Before, I applied in one health care agency and they promised that they can offer shifts anywhere in London. I really did my best to meet their requirements like undergo a lot of trainings, health and CRB checks and of course all of those things needs a payment. After I met those requirements and already registered in this agency, I asked them if they can already give me a shift and then they told me that they don't have any vacancies for care workers in London at the moment. NHS and Nursing homes cut their employees because of crisis. I know that this is happening but they must do something about for their staff's work placement. I trusted them because they are affiliated different agencies so they can cater all the applicants everywhere but it all went wrong.

After hearing the agency's explanation,it was like oh my God! I should have spend my money in applying in other care homes or home care agencies that requires no or less application fees and I felt almost crying and I felt that I don't have anywhere to go because I can't afford to pay for my expenses like rent, food, phone credits and expenses to support my studies. All of my savings just went in job searching and I cannot ask for public funds and support in UK because I'm not a UK citizen and I'm only a student.

I'm really eager to finish what I have started in UK and I don't want to return to my home country yet and bring shame to my family. I was hoping that the qualification and experiences that I have gain in the UK will give a lot of opportunities when I return to my country. I don't want to leave it undone.

I have already a lot of debts and I ask for financial help to some of friends and I'm really embarrassed when I'm asking for money from them. I know that they prioritize their families and themselves first and they are not always there to help me.

Until now I still fighting to have a job in UK and would not resort to any illegal activities. I hope that there is still a chance for me and hoping that there some kind people that will offer me help either a job or donation.

Thank you.

I am a single mother and grandmother. Both my daughter and grandchild live in the home with me. I work night shift so I can take care of my grandchild while my daughter goes to school and works(and she barely makes enough for her gas and diapers for the baby). We can't afford childcare, and being the baby can't speak in sentences we don't want her in daycare anyware.

Because I care for my grandchild during the day I can't get another job to help with expenses. Currently all of my check goes to rent, my car expenses so I can get to and from work, and my lights. After that I have nothing left over for food, usually just enough for about a weeks worth of Ramen noodles and some snacks for the baby.

I've pawned everything I can pawn. I have 1 television left, and that is what my grandbaby watches PBS on....so I can't pawn that! I'm losing my furniture this week...but thats neither here nor there, my concern is what is my family going to eat tomorrow. I can stand to lose a few pounds, but how can I look at them, especially a 2yr old, knowing they're hungry!

I also have to take our dog to the shelter because she's hungry as well. She has only had scraps from what little bit of food we had....I can't feed her either.

It's so embarrassing to be in this kind of situation. I look at my coworkers and wonder if they realize I'm skipping meals, that I have hunger headaches.

Anyhelp that anyone can give me would be so appreciated. $1 can buy almost 6 packs of Ramen noodles at Walmart! That would seem like a Thanksgiving feast right now.

Thanks for anything that you can do!

Hi, I know there are probably lots of people these days that need financial help cause I am in that category. I need help with paying my rent and help with getting my car fixed. My husband and I Have been going through some tough times and we split up. So I moved with my sister and got a job. Well my husband and I got back together and I was suppose to be able to transfer from my job where I was living with my sister to the town where my husband live but they don't have the hours to spare right now. My husband and I are doing really good with the exception of me trying to find a job. He has a job but after he pays child support out of his check we don't have much money to pay any bills. That being said we are getting further and further behind on rent and our landlord is getting a little frustrated with us. We have two vehicles but mine there is something wrong with it and keeps dying on me among other issues with it. I can't drive my husbands truck cause it is a standard and I don't know how to drive it. He was going to show me how but he has trouble shifting it himself cause its hard to shift. We have been married for 10 years and we are doing better and want it to be even longer. We just can't seem to get out of the whole. Can someone help us Please. I am seriously begging for help. Thank you in advance.

Hi my name is Mark. I am just a regular guy that has trudged through life doing what I am supposed to do. I work shift work for little pay and I hate it, I have been depressed for many years and have become very reclusive. I love my dog, Jesus and not much else,including myself. I want to just load some camping gear in my tiny truck that will be paid for in two months, buy my boxer Willie, a flea collar and camp at free sites across the US. I want to find myself for the first time in 38 years. I want to see the country I served for 5 years in the Marines and 3 years in the Army. I want to read, fish, play guitar, and write down the days events. Pick up a job here and there for gas, rice and beans, vehicle papers, repairs and hygiene items. Someone else can have my job who needs it with a family and I will take their place without a home. I honestly prefer next to nothing to having almost anything.
