Sickness Tags

My name is Renuka.I am living in Sri Lanka.I have 2 sons.Since 2 years in suffering with Heart trouble,Diabetes,Highblood Pressure and Arthritis.I m in difficult and helpless situation now.I can't do any work Any work withmy sickness.I havent any help from anyone.I will be thankful to you. When you can give me a help to buy my medicine.

First of all I am not asking help for myself but for a friend whom Ive never seen but know her through the Internet. She lives in an eastern European country and she is gay. By the time she came out she already was married and had two georgeous and smart kids. I can imagine how confused she must have been and how hard must have been the decision for her to pick up the courage and come out. Of course this meant a divorce and her ex- husband ( pride and ego bruised because wife left him not for another man but a woman ) is fighting custody for the kids - and not always fair. Also to put it bluntly - he has money and she doesent. She and her partner going through a rough patch - age even posted on her blog that they had to make a decision between to eat or pay the solicitor. Of course they choose the solicitor. Her heart is thorn between her love and her children - she is a mother and has to watch how her ex and his new partner poison her children's mind calling her a faggot/ queer infront of them, telling them she is an abomination and that she is not worth to be loved but she needs to be locked up. She would be able to fight for her children despite this but where she lives it is not accepted to be gay ( ohh not openly no ) and the last time the judge actually voiced her opinion that the children have the right to live in a family which consist of a man and a woman.
I would love to help her to get the funds needed but I'm off on sick leave and have problems on my own ( rent arreas, bad debts as sickness came unexpected and don't have any savings ) that's why I'm asking here whoever can help her please do ( through me or straight to her )
She could be contacted through this blog ( it is in her own language but I guess even through google translate you will get the jist of it )
Or if you think you could help me out as well I would be really grateful
Thank you
Her blog address is: http://andersenhalott.blogspot.co.uk

Good morning,

I am married and have three children. We live from one salary and have no possibility to change this. Due to a series of unhappy events for the last 29 months we have now problems with our mortgage. First it was an extreme gas/electricity bill for over 2000 euro, then a very serious sickness in the family, then the car reparation of 1000 euro, then my grandmother died leaving a not insured loan. But it was just the beginning. The health problems in the family persisted and I was the one to pay for an unisured family member. Two surgeries abroad, plane tickets. In a situation like this, when someone is sick you jst dont think about your bills, just pay for the hospital, medicines, doctors. This is what I did and what made me suffer a lot now. I have no savings, no car as it completely broke in October and we cannot afford to buy a new engine. The backlog in the mortgage pazments is really terrible and I dont see any solution to this. I cant even afford to pay for the school cantine for my children as the mortgage takes almost everything. I would be very grateful for each single euro, dollar or pound.

and thanks for reading this,that in itself is appreciated, I am not really sure how this works but a friend told me about this after reading about it in a magazine article.
Well let me start at the begining, for the last 20 years I have worked for the same company and never had a days sickness, yes not one single day, in October 2011 I went to work one day and just quit felling I had just had enough, I did not tell them I was feeling depressed & suicidal and sick, I just said I no longer want to work here and I left that day.
As I was depressed and on the verge of killing myself, something I had actually felt for many years, I spent the next three days at home not washing,cleaning or speaking to anyone, I looked on the internet and searched "The best way to commit suicide" I was that low, I had no money and in fact had huge debts, to my friends and family I was always the strong one always the one person they could rely on,but reality was I was a broken man my spirit my soul was empty I wanted to die.
After those three days of no sleep and thoughts of how I would die I took a shower, whilst in the shower I just completely broke down I just lay on the floor in uncontrolable crying I just lay there for about an hour, and suddenly it came to me that I needed to speak to some one and quick.
Enter my Sister, since childhood my Sister has been like a mother to me(My own mother left when I was 3) she is truly a beautiful person a wonderful role model and just the most fantastic spirited person I know. Why I had not just told her how I felt at the start I just dont know, because we talk about everything, maybe its the depression and anxiety of it all, I dont know.
I called her in tears and told her I need her to come over, she was here within half an hour, we spent the day crying she more than me, I was kinda cried out, she had never seen me cry since I was probably ten years old, that is probably a sadness in itself.
She did everything for me in those early days, took me to my Doctors a Doctors I had not been to in 10 years, it had been that long that when we booked the appointment I was informed my Doctor died 4 years ago. Anyway I was put under a mental health program and prescribed Anti-depressants and also some sleeping tablets(these killed me my spirit and thoughts were numbed). my sister has been my Angel my saviour, there is no doubt in my mind I would be dead now if it was not for my sister, thinks are still bad, very bad at times, but I see my sister every day she comes around cooks,talks does coffee and is constantly on the phone(sometimes this does my head in) but I understand that she is scared that I may harm myself,she has come to the doctors and psychiatrist with my giving me huge support and a hand to hold that I needed, I cant tell you in words how special she is to me, I am not actually suicidal at the moment although I still think if I got a terminal illness this would be ideal, mad I know but I am being honest, I have huge debts and on sick benefit but this is not enough to live on or enough to pay debts. I actually owe £50,000 and I know this will never be paid so I will lose my home and everything else that goes with bankruptcy, but I will always have my sister their supporting me, she has helped me financially for three months but I dont want this to continue its wrong.
Well now to my BEG, well I dont want money for my debts I understand they are way too much to ever believe I can pay them back, no the reason I want help is because later this year my sister is 50 yes the big Five O and for the last three years she has been kinda planning what she will do and where she will go, she has decided that she wants to rent a Villa in Spain and have all her friends & family come for one week, when we discussed this last year obviuosly I was always included in this week, but I do not want her paying for me its Her birthday after all, I will not be able to pay my own way and I will not be working in the next few months as I am soon to under go councilling, the truth is I dont really want to go as I am actually feeling stressed about it all, hoping it goes away, but at the same time I understand how much it means to her to have me there, I know she wont take no for an answer and will want to pay for me.
All I ask is that if anyone on here could donate so I can at least pay some part in some way to my own way.She is not going until August or September and I think it will cost around £300 as a guess maybe slightly more.
If just a little from a lot of people then I can make some head way, or if you just want to mail me if you have similar problems as I have learned that talking problems through does help.
I know its a long beg but I want you to know the background.
Thanks for reading and hopefully you can help in some small way.

Dear reader,unfortunately me and my family(i have 3 young boys),have been at the receiving end of anti social behaviour,we have been targeted by vandals,threats of physical violence car vandalised,my 8 year old son was threatened so much so that he climbs out of the upstairs window in the early hours as he is so frightened,the local police are powerless,i am struggling due to depression and o.c.d which is an utter nightmare due to the stress,we haved begged people/organisations for help to no avail,we are so desperate to move,but i am on sickness benefit so finding it hard to try and raise the money for a deposit/rent upfront plus removal costs,this is a last ditch attempt i have to try anything to get out of this awful nightmare,i can supply crime numbers/supporting letters to confirm my situation,i just hope somebody reads this........

I have had a chronic illness my entire adult life.
My family don't 'do' illness and have no support from them other than keeping in touch. I get on well with people but they really don't understand ME and so have no found any offers of help. Amazingly I am now working and that's good, but it doesn't pay for my recovery and i'm so ready for that now.

I have done alot of research and the cost of a private clinic programme which includes some contact with a practitioner, tests and treatment costs around £2000. That's to fully recover! (There is no recovery programme or treatment for ME on the nhs, just 'management) £2000 to recover from a debilitating illness is nothing in the wider scheme of things, and nothing to someone even on a reasonable wage for your health. Its such a dream for me. ME is so hard to live with, with daily pain. My entire life is geared around managing it and but now I see I could actually recover. I have much yet to do in life but need financial help to do this programme.

I work, I am not entitled to any benefits whilst working and do not have the energy for a second job. My disposable income after food and petrol is £50pcm. I have applied for many other jobs but my sickness record and my tiredness has stopped me gaining them.

I would be eternally grateful for any donations towards this recovery programme and if it ends up, as I hope, with me well and getting a reasonably paid job I will pass on all that I have been given to someone else in similar circumstances.

Hi, my name is Kevin. My dad and I are having serious problems. Since I'm a kid, I live alone with him, my mom left us... we have been trying really hard to survive. But now, my dad has serious liver problems. Since he got sick, he can't work at all, and is very nervous. He can't lift heavy objects, he can't stand for long periods. When he stresses, his belly fills with water, and his feet get bigger. He also has a tumor. He needs to go see doctors a lot. Because of all this we don't have money for anything, for his medications, and the operation. We can't pay our bills either; we don't have hot water anymore. The guy who rents us the 2 1/2 apartment asks for 600$ since he saw my dad is sick. He wants to send us in court. We can't get out of this situation; we are already late of 4 months now. We can't either move because we can't find anyone with a low enough price. Please, help us, we don't want to end up in the streets. All of this because of a sickness... We don't have any friends who can help us. We accept any donations. We are trying really hard to live, but it won't last long: my dad also needs an operation, or else...

God bless you for your help.

Hello, I dont know if this works and people actually donate or not but im willing to try. I am a 34 year old single female who is alcohol dependant and suffering from depression and dissociation. I contemplate suicide daily as im in so much poverty and cant afford the help I need to get well. I long for the help of a pyschiatrist to help me but havent the money to pay for it. I am constantly struggling to pay for food and electric and am behind on my rent. I have to live on £60.00 a week and find it unbearable. would love some money so I could have some joy back in my life and be able to pay for the help I need. I doubt anyone will donate but just expressing my sadness helps. I feel completely lost like im living in a bad dream that I cannot wake up from. Im haunted nightly by horrific sexual abuse dreams and feel totally alone in this world. My dream was to become a writer one day but my sickness has taken over so much of my life that even getting washed is a struggle for me now. sometimes id like to sleep forever as my world is to difficult to live in. Any donations or help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Nicola

Hello. I am asking for anyone who feels compelled to please donate a dollar or so to help me complete this pregnancy.
I have been doing great financially by doing babysitting to get some income since I have not been able to get a job while pregnant-even with the help of employment agencies. However, I have been put on bedrest-which means NO more income coming in. My mother is helping out the best she can, and while I appreciate it-times are getting rough. I am asking for help please in getting some of the essentials I need for the last trimester of my pregnancy.
(My son has clothes, the furniture, and everything else-I just want to make sure he comes healthy!)

I am in need of prenatals and food supplements soon. These things I normally order online (because I have to specially order my prenatals due to allergies, and food because I am on a special diet and the bars are cheaper to order in bulk online.)My Doctor has had me on food supplements because I continuously have been losing weight from morning sickness, and now my son isn't gaining weight like he should. With only 13 weeks left in the pregnancy, now is where the weight gain matters.
Anyway you would be willing to help would be greatly appreciated. If you are only willing to donate a dollar, or two, or five! Anything helps and is greatly appreciated. I just want to have a healthy son. Thank you and God Bless!

As I lie here, flat on my back, with the laptop perched on top of me, unable to move. It has been like this for 3 days now, my lower back is in suck agonising pain, the first 2 days was worse, I could not stand up, or walk at all, confined to lying on the floor for 24 hours, and painkillers.

Yesterday I decided to try lying on the sofa, that worked better, the painkillers left me with nausea, diarrhoea, and feeling very sick but at least I had relief from pain for a little while.

The house is in terrible mess, kitchen dishes everywhere, wish I could move around and do my housework, I wish I could sit up and eat, and not have to be bent over on my hands and knees or flat on my back trying to eat.

I wonder what the best thing to do is, do I go to the doctor, or the physiotherapist? How will I get there? How can I pay for it, there is only $2 in my bank account, until my sickness benefit get paid in 3 days time, can I manage to work around to free up some funds for this emergency medical need.

I wrote out a grocery list, 9 items, total cost $49.00; I work out my budget for next week:
Income: Sickness Benefit - $260.00
Outgoings:
Rent $260 can only pay $160
Phone $10.00
Internet $12.00
Power $15.00
Transport $20.00
Therapist $40.00

Total: $257.00

I realised I cannot afford them, will have to ask for food grant if I want to get groceries, I need to find a cheaper place to live, but can’t find anywhere within city Region, have to look further out, to the rural areas for anything under $200 per week.

I also need to find a part time job, but my searches and applications have not been successful so far, no one wants to hire someone with Osteoarthritis, and depression.

All day I search the internet for some idea, some open door somewhere, to start my own business, or find some work for a few hours a week, that would give me a chance to break out of the current situation, to change my life, to make a fresh start.

Lying here unable to do much, my mind starts thinking, thinking and more thinking, I reflect on my life, I take stock of where I am now, how I got here and where I want to be. I am living in a substandard rental home that I cannot afford the rent for, on a sickness benefit, in therapy to deal with 15 years of childhood sexual and physical abuse.

15 years of beatings and torture has left me physically, emotionally and psychologically scarred.

The psychologist is helping me to deal with the emotional and psychological, the painkillers sometimes helps with the pain of the physical, but the scars and injuries are always there.
I don’t want to live in this state, I want to break free, make a new start, but how?

I cannot work as a Computer support analyst or a caterer anymore, because the osteoarthritis diminishes my ability to cope with physical work and movements for long. I have tried finding part time work, just a few hours a week, but there are not many jobs out there, and when I do apply for any, they do not want me.

If only I could get my driver’s licence, a little place I could afford the rent for, and a little car, and retrain, I could get back to work and change my life, get a second chance at a normal life…that is all I ask.

What I need to change my life

Re-training = $4,000.00
Driver Licence = $600.00
Car = $2,000.00
Moving costs $1100.00
Business start = $7,000.00

Total $14700.00

I don’t drink, smoke, or go out, I don’t go to café’s or buy coffees or cans of coke. My only outgoings are the basic necessities of life, one day I would love to be able to do these things, but now my goal is to get to a better place, higher place, out of the gutter that I am in, and start feeling like human again, to feel worthy of life.

I am almost 23 years old. I lost my job the end of February.

hello...my name is misti...i am 35 yrs old and am the single mom of 2 beautiful girls who are my whole life and they are the reason i am here asking for help. a year ago i ended up getting really sick. for 8 months they didnt know what was wrong with me. after 8 months of hospital stays and every kind of test you can think of they finally figured out that i had a fungal infection in my throat that ended up getting into my bloodstream. i had to have surgery and had to have some of my throat cut out. it took about 3 months to heal and im finally better. this sickness caused me to lose my job of 12 years. i ended up losing everything. i had to move in with my grandparents. i have been trying to get a job with not much luck. im trying to live on what little child support that i do get but with trying to help my grandparent with bills and food and keeping my kids with the things they need, there just isnt enough. if i was just me i would be ok but i have my children and they are suffering and they need things i can give them because i dont have enough money right now. if there is anyone out there with a big enough heart to help a mother get by until i can get a job please know that i would greatly appreciate it. it hurts that i cant provide for my children right now and i would do anything for my children even if it means coming here and begging for help. please find it in your heart to not only help me but help my children.

After leaving catering college at the age of just 20, I embarked on my career, but it was taken away along with my life just a few months later, ( im now 55 ) during college my dad died of cancer, it had been my turn to watch over him that night, I was just 15 years old, and I awoke to find that he had died during the night, his hand had locked on to mine whelst I had been a sleep, and I had to have it removed by my big sister, I cannot forget this it broke my heart,my dad was just 47 when he died, it affected me for the rest of my life.

It also profundley changed my mothers demeaner, it changed her, and I was last to leave the family home, and it was so hard.

To make matters worse only a few years ago my mother passed on, and I was away dealing with my own medical problem at the time and missed her passing on, I wanted to say goodbye, it haunts me to this day, that my parents left this world in such a manner.

I am in my late 50s now, back in the early 70s, I was a passenger in a friends car, he pulled out into the path of another car, onto a fast piece of road, and our car was hit at over 90 miles an hour. My seat belt broke with the impact, and I was thrown through the cars windscreen. I, landed on the tarmac and next the car I had been in was bulldozed over my body.

It bulldozed the other car on to my neck and chest, trapping me under it. My arms were pinned to my chest by the cars sill, and my neck was bent up against a cold granite wall, my right leg was wrapped around the back axle. I was ready to die, but held on to life with every passing breath, god must have been watching over me that night.

It took the fire crew an hour to cut me out, then it was off to the hospital, on arrival all my clothes were cut from my body, on examination it was found that my right leg was near on severed from the knee, and was hanging on by a thread of my skin.

In addition I had 4 broken ribs, severe cuts and bruises everywhere and a small spilt in my skull, this skull spilt was not significant at the time, but would go on to ruin my entire life. My mouth was full of broken windscreen glass and I was vomiting blood because of it. Back in the 70s there was no MRI scanner so I was just given an X ray of my head.

Because my leg was the main problem the little split in my skull was just left then as being nothing, but it would play a big part in my life. After being cleaned up and admitted to the ward, I settled back to a 12 week stay, and Around the 3 week mark of being in hospital, the surgeon said there was now no chance of me being able to walk again on my right leg.

I broke down in tears, cried a river and could not understand why me. During my stay in hospital my boss came in and told me he could no longer keep my position open for me. This was devastating for me, I had worked so hard at college to be a chef, and had climbed my way up the ranks to be a chef in charge.

And was now at the age of just 20 cooking in a world famous Hotel, and it was my life, I had left school only 5 years beofre the accident, and had studied at college to be a chef, now because of this crash my career was finished in one hit, my employer had spoken to the drs, who had said working in a kitchen enviroment would be to dangerous for me, so my career was over right there right then.

I now lay in the bed stunned and deeply hurt that because of this accident, I had now lost everything at the age of just twenty!. Then one day I noticed some feeling in my right legs big toe, I screamed for the nurse, and she brought along a Dr.
Over the coming weeks I fully regained the use of my right leg. Of course I thought everything was going to be alright, but from the day I left hospital some 35 years ago now to this day, I have suffered so much.

You see the knock on the head I had during the car crash, damaged the cerebellum part of my brain, a part called the cerebellum tonsil. The severe knock to my head caused the tonsil, to drop out of the cerebellum part of my brain a few mm. And for the last 35 years this part of my brain as been dropping slowley a few mm each year towards my brain stem.

The affect it as is to disturb the cerebral spinal fluid that goes around my brain. The tonsil dangles into a space where it should not be, disrupting the flow of csf, which in turns gives me a wide range of medical disorders.

I suffer with ringing sounds in both my ears every day, 7 days a week, I have headaches daily, coupled with dizziness sickness, and pain in spine and neck, some days i cant feel my legs or walk on them, some days my arms dont work, my balance is hopeless, I cant sleep for severe pain, I cry all the time in private because of the situation I have been in these last 35 years.

To look at me I look like any normal kinda guy but life as been so tough these last 35 years.
The brain surgeons that I have seen have told me that to operate as a 75% chance of death for me, so they prefer me to live with the disabilities until such a time when I become in risk of death, and then they will operate on me seeing theres no other option, this means I live with countless medical conditions all of which I have had to live with for 35 years.

These medical conditions have made my life a living hell, for 35 years ive been dizzy off balance, severe headaces, and forced to go to bed every night knowing that I could die at any given time.
I lay in bed with symptoms of my brain damage rushing all over my body, trying to think positive for 35 years, im now 55, and wish so very very much that I could have given my wife and children a proper home to live in, one we owned, in a nice area, and not to have had to rely on handouts from the goverment merely to excist.

I cry, ive cried oceans of tears in despair in private, while Ive tried to work a way out of this hell for my family and me,but of course my disabilies dont allow me to get a break, so just had to live it for 35 years, ive never stopped trying, but ive made my illness well worse, and just cant do it anymore.

I was a young man of just 20 years old, and my whole life and anyone who would be with me, had changed in the blink of an eye. We got no compensation back when I was 20, and I was a passenger!!! I got shafted by the insurance company, with no dad, and mum still grieving his death, I got ripped off by the othersides insurers. If I was able to just change one thing in my past, it would be to not except that lift in my friends car.

The worst thing about all of what happened to me is, that for the first 12 years after my accident none of the medical people we went to see knew what could be making me so very very ill, so it was hard to get any help at all, after 12 years of seeing hundreds of doctors, one of them finally!!! decided to allow me to have a full brain and spine MRI, but this same doctor had been writing in my medical records that I was a waste of time and that nothing would be found wrong with my brain.

He, had written in my medical notes that there would be no scan because it would be a waste of time, He then reluctently gave me a brain scan, and reported it has normal to my family doctor.
My wife then ordered up copies of my medical records from that doctors hospital, and we found that he had lied about my brain scan, the brain scan records stated that I had a very rare brain damage that would be caused by a trauma such as a car crash.

We can only think like our family doctor does, that the dr who had written my brain scan results to be normal, was trying to cover him self after years of writing in my medical record rubbish about me, and now seeing that I had a rare brain damage had tried to cover it up"!!!!.
I was so angry after the last 12 years of hell, and to now see that this showed that my brain had been damaged severely all those years before, and that I had been made to live in terror all those years that had just passed.

My family said we should get a solicitor to champion our case, and we did, but the one we chose was a bad one, who during our legal case was struck off for mishandling another bigger case, it was in all the newspapers, and when that solicitor was barred from practising, our case was left in such a state that no other solicitor would touch it.
We took my case to 3 other solicitors, all of which said that the 1st soliictor had ruined of chance of winning, and we were left to suffer.

All of these things have mede me so very very tired, plus heavy debt, all my medical symptoms to cope with, and tring to live on pennies, the goverment gives very small amounts to live on, it just about covers food rent and some of the other costs of life. My life, and others with me as been so hard since 20 years old, thes last 35 years feel like 200 years to my body and soul.

So many horrable things have happend to me, my whole life as been blighted from such a young age, ive tried, ive tried so hard, im tired now so very very tired,
As I write this, I find it hard to think, motavation is so hard, each day is full with pain, grief, despair, money truly is the only way we can feel a little better, but we cant get any, so its bills bills bills, we live, but we dont do any more than that.

Now its just me and my wife, who means everything to me, I want holidays and nice things in our home, but we live on pennies and are feeling the affects of what happened to myself 35 years ago. I want my wife to enjoy life the way we were ment too.

My wife helped me through every year and we have 3 wonderful children, these days its been tough trying to make a living owing to my disablement, in the early days of my children growing up, I tried with every part of my determination to make a good home for them, but we could only ever live in social housing, and it was so so hard growing up in some of the areas we had to live in.
As my health as gotten worse we took on debt to keep above water so to speak, benefits were no where enough to live on. my wife and I now owe £50,000 in loans and credit cards, all of which over the last 35 years as built up just to roof and feed our family, and pay ever increasingley high water electric and gas bills.

I have had my dignity taken at the age of just 20, 35 years ago, and have lived a hellish life of pain, and tearful memories of what I use to be. none of what happened to me was my doing, just a passenger in a car.
Any help that anyone out their can afford will help us to live a little bit better. Thanks in anticapation of anything you can afford to give, it will be used to make a better life for me and my wife thanks and good bless.

Hi I'm 20 years old and I am currently a Vet Student. I worked really hard to ge.t in and I'm really trying to do well for myself as I grew up with my mum who is on the sickness benfit. My fees are $12000 a year and I have a loan that is getting up to $40000. I went to the dentist because I was in a lot of pain to discover I needed fillings replaced and a gold crown. This comes to about $2000. As I was getting the fillings replaced, the dentist found that one of my nerves were bleeding and now I need a root canal that will add $1500 to the already massive bill. I am a poor student who is already in debt and has no family members who can help me. Can you please help me? Anything would be really really appreciated. I already feel terrible needing to beg on this site, but I have run out of options. Thank you for reading

I am a 31 yers old woman, employed full time (better said working my tities off for a penuts) and PhD student in economics living with my beloved partner S. in a happy relationship. That is the general view. Not bad, right? Unfortunately it's bad. Two yers ago my partner had an accident. Nothing major, but keept him off work for a seven months. Sickness pay is a lought: 250 a month. We survived that undemaged with a little debt,which we almost paid off when S. lost his job last year. He is in his 40. and it's not easy for people his age with little education to find jobs nowdays.

My wage unfortunately isn't enough to payrent and feed to both of us (and a cat) so we slowly, slowly got ourselves in debt.

Two months ago the biggest disaster happened - our landlord informed us that we need to move out, becouse he is selling the property and moving out to South Africa. And he did without giving us back security deposit for the flat we lived in.

So we had to face finding a new place to live and gather money to pay deposit for new place and rent in advance. And that means only one thing - more debt. Becouse either of us ever took any credit we don't have almost any credit rating and all the loans we took are with high interest.

Now we are 4,500 in debt and need to pay of enormous interests that will probably leave us homeless. Somone will say that is not a big debt. Maybe in relative numbers is not, but for the two of us it's a disaster as we are not able to keep up with payments. The only last resource we see is to ask strangers for help.

If you can afford to donate even a dollar for us it will be the dollar that gets us closer to securing a roof over our heads this month and feed our cat.

Thank you for reading our story.

K and S.

My name is Amy, I'm 30 years old, nine months pregnant and expecting my baby any day now.

2010 was the hardest year of my life. I contracted Haemolytic Uremic Syndrome in February 2010. Basically, I drank unhygenic water and unfortunately Ecoli bacteria got into my system. This led to kidney failure for which I had to undergo nine plasma transfusions and daily dialysis. It is only by the grace of God that I am alive today. I truly believe it was a miracle I survived.

However, God is good and has given my husband and I a beautiful child who I will name Charlotte Grace.

This has been a rough year for us, however I look forward with hope and wish to move on from this horrible sickness. It is my dream to start my own online clothing business, which I had been working towards before I became ill. I have finally found something I am passionate about and would love to have the opportunity to live out my dream. This is where your help comes in. I am asking for a small donation to support my dream of becoming an online retailer. I need $860 to have a website designed by a professional and a further $400 for buying in wholesale clothing items.

I know it is a big ask, but I am so passionate and desperate that I have decided to do this. If you could find it in your heart to support me and my family I would be so greatful.

Any amount that you could give me would be appreciated. We are not a wealthy family and like many struggle to pay bills, especially now with a baby on the way.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my story. Many blessings and thank you once again. God bless.

Hi, my name is Matt and I’m a 34 year old single father. My daughter is 10 years old and two years ago she was diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes. I work two jobs to keep the bills paid, but one of the jobs is midnight shift so it makes it kind of hard to keep a normal lifestyle. The reason I’m here asking for help is because my daughter has suffered several low blood sugars during the night while she sleeps. We took her to her endocrinologist and had her Lantus adjusted several times and for a while she was ok, but the doctor said that it’s hard to level out a child on blood sugars cause they tend to be more active and unpredictable. Well about two month’s ago my daughter went into insulin shock while she was sleeping, she started kicking the bed and her eye’s had rolled to the back of her head. She was staying with my brother because I had to work that night and was unable to be there. My brother said she was blue and he wasn’t sure if she was breathing so he called 911. The paramedic had to administer a glucose injection to bring her back because she couldn’t swallow food. Now I’m terrified to go to work and I can’t just quit my job. Since then she has had several smaller instances, which were caught in time. Long story short the doctor said that the best thing for her is to be fitted with an insulin pump. Now one of the jobs I have has insurance and I’m able to keep up with all of her medical needs, but just barely. The pump my daughter needs is 11,000 and my Insurance will cover 75% of that, needless to say that leaves a sizable chunk left to pay. In order to get the pump I need 2700 up front, I just don’t have it. I got rid of cable, internet, sold my Xbox 360, anything that is not a necessity and I was only able to save up about 500 bucks. I’m not proud to have to do this, I feel like a failure in my Daughters eyes, but I would feel even worse if she dies and I didn’t try. I just want to be able to keep working to give her a good life and not be stressed when I do have to work thinking I might come home to bad news. She’s all I got I love her to death and if I could take her sickness I would in a heartbeat. Please, if you can help in anyway possible I would be eternally grateful.

I have a Paypal account but won’t be able to check it till I get to work

Hi, my name is Joe and I live with my dad. I am 21 years old.

I bought my 92' Honda with 1200 hard earned cash 3 years ago.
recently I got into a accident and it was totaled.




My friend had a 98' camaro that he wanted to sell me due to my misfortune.

I bought it on a private payment plan of $200 a month for $2000. I had a job at a local Chinese carry-out as a delivery driver, so I was able to pay for the payments.
I have paid off $1480 since the purchase....

overtime my dad had to fork over about $1500 in repairs/towing fee's as the car was in poor mechanical shape, and we had no idea all the work that needed to be done...so he is unable to help, as that was the emergency savings we had...

last month I have lost my job after 1-1/2 years, they just let me go.

It was under the table so I cannot collect unemployment.
I have filled out over 100 applications and no bites at all..

I have no high school diploma or GED, as I was home schooled by my mother, who has bi-polar disorder w/ psychotic episodes. I haven't learned much since the 3rd grade lol...tried high school in 9th grade, and failed horribly..

my dad since has divorced from my mother... at my mothers choice. my dad wanted to be with her "in sickness and in health" but my mothers illness wouldn't allow it...


I haven't had time to get either degree (HSD or GED) as I have BASIC math skills, which I must bring it up to at least basic algebra, and don't have time to "study" as I've been trying to keep our family afloat by supporting myself/paying my dad rent through working overtime..

I need Financial help in fear of losing my home, and my car that I need for future work, as I cannot put up my part for rent or the payment.

As degrading as it is to post a big "help me" sign on the internet, I have no other choice as I am soon to be in a cardboard Box.....thank you for your time
