I need HELP!

Posted by DesperateDad12 on 2012-05-24 06:58:21

I am 26 years old and unemployed. I have a little boy who turns 3 next month and a baby on the way. I don't have a job and have been on the hunt for 3 months now. I've been to interviews, career fairs, and job fairs all over. Meanwhile, I am sinking in debt to pay for my bills. My girlfriend and son have moved in with her parents and I am living in my car with an iPad that I go to free wifi spots to communicate. I have used credit cards to pay for my car payment so I have a place to sleep. I am $9000 in credit card debt and now maxed out. I can't lose my car too as I would be completely homeless. I need to get my son and girlfriend a place to live so I can be with them. It is hard for me to ask for something like this because like most other men, we are too prideful. But I don't know what else to do. I don't qualify for unemployment benefits and have absolutely no money. I need help. If anyone could be so kind to help me with a donation through Paypal, I would be more than thankful. I want to be with my family :(

A family in turmoil.

Posted by elbeecee on 2012-04-06 04:58:09

I am the eldest daughter of two ill parents. I have 2 siblings who have been the caregivers to my parents for several years now. It all started when my father got ill in 2007 with a need of open heart surgery. After that surgery he was never the same. He was a very successful emergency room physician and made very good money. However, he was off for several months from work due to his recovery period. Much of his savings/investments were depleted as he was the only bread winner in the family. My brother and sister had just gotten an apartment and were to start college when my father got ill. They withdrew from school just as quickly as we moved them into their apartment in order to help my mother take care of dad. My father attempted to return to work, but he was still having chest pain and major depression. In September of 2008 he was in the hospital again and needed heart stents to open up blockages. After that situation he physically could not go back to work. He was weak, depressed, and very withdrawn from life. My mother, bless her heart, tried to find ways to make some cash. She sold many pieces of her jewelry to try and pay bills. Regardless of what she profited, she was unable to fulfill the mounting medical bills, credit card bills, car payments, insurance bills, etc.
It wasn't long before she became gravely ill. In the summer of 2010 my mother had succumbed to kidney failure and had to be on kidney dialysis permanently. She had neglected to take care of herself while trying to take care of my father and their financial woes. Along with the financial woes, there were back taxes that were still owed and of course were impossible to pay, their house was falling apart--still is. By the end of Spring 2011, my mother got so ill and was on a ventilator at least 4 times in a 2 week period due to her lungs filling up with fluid. Finally it was discovered that she had endocarditis (infection in heart)that had ravaged one of her heart valves. This required open heart surgery and replacement of the defected valve. The endocarditis stemmed from an infected temporary dialysis catheter. She was in the hospital for over a month and a half or so. Needless to say she was confused, lost tons of weight, and lost the ability to walk or care for herself. She was placed in a nursing home for rehab, but several more stays in the hospital only made her fall several steps back on her rehab and she never has fully recovered. It was discovered that she also had a tumor on one of her kidneys and her kidney was removed in the Fall of 2011 and supposedly it was all contained and it was early stage renal (kidney) carcinoma (cancer). While my mother was in the hospital my father had trouble breathing and I took him to the hospital. It as discovered he was in kidney failure and they both ended up in the hospital at the same time. Now my father is on permanent kidney dialysis.
Now fast forward to present day April 6, 2012. My mother's dialysis shunt would not stop bleeding and she was taken to the emergency room. She also complained of right leg pain and ultimately she ended up with a CT angiogram. This test revealed she not only had some blockage in one of her arteries in her leg, but that she had metastatic cancer to her liver, lungs, and a site near her spleen. Of course we are devastated.
They have no money. The money they do get is always depleted as soon as they get it from Medicare. My mother's social security check went straight to the nursing home and still was not enough to cover her bill. My father would have to pay over $1,000 a month because Medicare would only pay for several weeks. Since she has been in the hospital now for almost 2 weeks, we have pulled her out of the nursing home because the expected us to pay over $180 A DAY to keep her spot at the nursing home.
Now we are faced with a surgery to fix her leg, a plan for cancer treatment, and no suitable place for my mother to live. Their current home is in shambles and I mean SHAMBLES. Roof leaks and is falling apart. I assume there is some black mold lingering. No central air or heat as their units are broke. Plus large amounts of stuff--my mother also was a hoarder. The house is disgusting and it has been hard to clean up with out major assistance and with constant trips to the hospital who has ample time (?). They live in a small town and it is very hard to simply get a dumpster to throw many items away. The house would have to be completely gutted and redone. The floors are sinking in and it is very dangerous. They don't have the funds to fix any of it and nor do I.
I have missed work several times over the last year and more with FMLA, but never have enough PTO to fully cover my own losses.
My siblings have yet to start their lives. They have been with my parents ever since 2007 to help them with everything. Even when my mother was in a nursing home my siblings and my dad would go see my mom every single day--we just didn't trust the care of the nursing home and rightly so because she developed a bed ulcer on her heel after the wound care nurse said it was getting better--not even close! And yes the blocked artery in her leg and her bed ulcer on her heel are related. The wound care nurse and the Dr. for the nursing home should have caught this medical issue.
So life has been tough, but reading about it doesn't even give it justice. We need financial assistance, a new home or help to fix it--we need a lot of help. I want my brother and sister to finally get on their own feet and do what they want to do. I feel bad for them because I was able to finish college and have a career, a husband, and a home. They have yet to accomplish their goals and it makes me sad and sick to see them so depressed. They are in their late 20s and my parents are both 65 y.o.
If anyone has a kind heart, I promise you I'm not lying. I have proof of all I have written about and I swear on everything--my family, my husband, etc. that this is all real. Thank you for your time and interest. If you can't help at least please pray for us.

I'm trying this BegsList as desperation as I don't know what to do. My wish is to get them a nice clean place to live and live their last years worry free.

Need your help to continue to make people beautiful!

family in danger of loosing everything

Posted by lovebug75 on 2012-03-12 12:58:12

We are a family of 4. We have a small business we started from nothing. My husband does construction work. Things have been slow and we are sinking without someone to help us. He lost his truck a few mths ago. Our bills are overdue and we are swimming in debt. We can't pay our bills. There hasn't been much work recently. It is just now the time of year that things are beginning to look up maybe. My husband now has no truck to pull his trailer. We have nobody to help us. We can't get a loan since we just started this business last year. We were homeless just 4 months ago and now we have been blessed to have a home again,thanks to the Lord. We have spent everything on this business and don't want to loose it. If anyone out there could help it would greatly be appreciated. I also believe in passsing it on.Thank you for your help and taking time to read this.

paying monthly bills

Posted by workingmom10 on 2012-03-04 11:58:07

hi I am a single mother, currently working 2 jobs with a mortgage. I feel like I am in quicksand and no matter how much I try to move forward I am not getting any where and in fact sinking deeper and deeper. Please help

I am drowning and the depression is really killing me

Posted by tjpadilla37 on 2012-02-08 14:58:53

Well, where to begin. First let me say that I lost my job abut a year ago and I don't qualify for benefits because the company I worked for never paid my Social security or disability or unemployment insurance to the government. Now I am screwed ... I am in such a deep depression and I find myself falling deeper into a hole as the days go by. I got myself into some legal problems about 12 years ago when my daughter was born and now even that is haunting me right now. I can't get a job because it seems that every place I apply is doing a background check ... I don't want a top government clearance, I just want a damn job. Anyway, I don't want to tell every single thing that's going wrong right now, that's what I need therapy for ..lol. My health is declining, I'm losing weight, even my teeth are starting to decay to the point where very expensive surgery is needed. PLEASE, and I GOD FEARINGLY mean PLEASE, Can someone please help me with a few dollars to help me out of this financial hole I am in. I am not even able to help my children and that is gonna be the death of me. I have a total of three daughter that I need to help. I live in Westchester county in NY and I don't have a car to get around. Everything is dependent on buses and trains and I can't pay for either right now. I tried to get out of this mess with credit but now I owe the credit card companies ... I'm sinking deeper and deeper every day. Please help ... I don't want to die. I just want to be happy and proud of myself. It is so demeaning to ask strangers for help. I could never beg in the streets so I've turned to the cowards way out ... Just Please ... If you can ... Help me.

we are sinking fast..

Posted by riversofsound on 2012-02-04 21:58:00

My husband and I finally realized our dream of owning our own home in august of last year. We were budgeting and doing good, living within our means. Then I found out I was pregnant again after suffering from 3 losses. It was unexpected as we were finally at terms with only having two kids, it took us a long time to feel ok with it. Now this pregnancy has been rough, and our medical bills are already in the thousands. Our insurance isn't helping much. Also working 40 hours a week has become a memory since Xmas ended, we both work in retail and they've been cutting us left and right. So now here we are we made our house payment and the other essentials that our kids can't live without(heat and water) and we are done until payday two weeks away. We don't have enough to pay our medical bills that are due this month, or the overdue ones from January. We feel like we are sinking fast and to top it all off I have to take blood thinners for this pregnancy and that's $150-200 a month extra. We just want this little guy to make it, and we are pretty desperate right now. Please help?

help me fulfill my dream and ride the waves

Posted by jexrex1098 on 2012-01-30 23:58:05

This is why I'm posting here:

I am 25 and for my entire life, I have been fat. I don't mean this as in, a little on the chubby side; but obese. I can remember being in 5th grade, when our class had to get weighed and measured at the nurses office. The sinking feeling in my gut that came up when I weighed almost 200 lbs at the age of 10 is something that I don't think I will entirely forget.

Because of my horrible diet as a child (McDonalds, soda, you name it), I have spent my entire young life coping with being overweight and all of the horrible things that go with it: wondering if I'll fit in a seatbelt, wondering if I would break a friends bed or chair if I sat on it, or never being able to find a cute outfit to wear like all the other girls. When I was about 14, I was diagnosed with PCOS, which is cysts on my ovaries (contributing to my obesity, or as a result of, but they worked in tandem to make my life miserable). Without health insurance, I was never able to get this issue resolved, and with my poor diet, my weight increased. PCOS symptoms also include abnormal facial and body hair, which was (and to a degree still is) the bane of mine and any woman's existence. A woman should never have to feel so ashamed of her own body, and yet that is exactly how I've felt for as long as I've realized that I was different, and that looks mattered.

My highest weight as of 4 months ago topped out at 324 (thought I had reached 340 a year earlier but had lost some weight over a long period of time). Recently I began taking HCG (a hormone that helps regulate fertility and also helps with weight loss), and am amazed to report that for the first time in my adult life, I am 270 lbs. While this still is a lot, for me it is an incredible number to be at. Never in my life have I felt the fear of dying at 30 begin to be lifted, though I still have a long way to go.

So the point of my request: there are a lot of dreams I have that I feel like I am within reach of grasping. Some of them have already been fulfilled: I have been able to travel with my family, and this past year my parents helped me to finance a jeep. This is a huge one...I live on the west coast and have always wanted to live a surfer/beach lifestyle.

But how could a fat girl ever be a surfer? It's been my dream for the past 10 summers to learn to surf, with beaches only 15 minutes away. But every year, the fear stopped me, my weight stopped me, my inability stopped me.

I want this year to be the last year fear gets in the way.

With my weight going down, I've been trying to exercise. I've been attempting a modified version of P90X, and have been eating healthy and avoiding all the foods that got me where I am today. The problem is that financially, while I do work full time, I barely make enough to cover my bills (gas, car insurance, car payment, cell phone), and am not even able to help my hard working parents pay rent. So money for extras this summer is not really possible, but I CAN'T let another year go by without accomplishing this task.

I want to attend a surf camp this summer in San Diego, called Surf Divas. The problem? Surf lessons are expensive. I think to get me on the right path, I'd need at least 10 hours of lessons. At $82 an hour, thats $820.

The reason I want to fulfill this dream is to prove to myself and others that no matter where you've been, or how far your body is from being in shape, that the human body is remarkably capable of change. I would want to encourage anyone who doesn't think they are the right "type" to surf or do a sport that they can push their bodies to do things they never thought possible. And I sincerely believe that learning to surf will help me pursue my health and fitness goals long term, as well as truly set free the earth-and-sea-loving hippie that I keep snug and close to my soul. I live for summer and the ocean...and being able to ride a way would be life changing for me.

If anyone is able to donate or help support me in taking charge of my health and fitness...there would be no adequate way to thank you. I will send you a picture of me riding my very first wave as a token of gratitude, with a friendship bracelet made by me with a few shells from the beach strung on it. My way to say thank you for helping me to live a healthy life.

I'm a giver who rarely gets, but if you could change that, I would be most grateful.

Family that needs a "Lil Boost"

Posted by familyof52012 on 2011-12-28 09:58:27

Hi...We have never done this before and thought we would give this a try. My husband works for a school district and isnt on salary like teachers. So when the kids are out of school he is off work,which shortens the paycheck every month. I have my own cleaning business and have lost 4 clients since October and we are sinking farther and farther each day. This was the 1st year we had to go to Salvation Army to give our kids a Lil Christmas this year. We are about to lose our vehicle and are behind on rent,water,gas and electric. We are just asking for a "Lil Boost" to get us thru February when we get our tax return back!!!!!!!!

Terrible job situation!

Posted by 32snowman32 on 2011-11-26 19:58:00

I work for a small company whose owner lives far away. However, the owner’s son lives in the same building and harasses the employees daily because he knows that his father lives too far away to do anything about it.

Morale in the office is sinking daily and I’m desperate to find a way out. My family deserves better than to see me come home angry for dinner every evening. I wish to fire my boss and make a living from home, from a variety of income sources based on my marketable internet and computer skills.

As long as I’m stuck at my dead end, long commute job, I can’t start my home business. It’s a vicious cycle that I need help to break. I’m counting on your collective generosity to help me provide a living income for my family while I start up my own business.

Truck Fire Surviver

Posted by truckfiresurviver on 2011-11-16 09:58:55

Hello. I am a commercial driver in need of financial help. My situation is 100% verifiable. On 9/20/11 I was driving a tractor trailer in Lamar, Pa, delivering a load to New Jersey when my truck caught on fire. To escape certain death I had to jump out of the burning truck, sustaining injuries in the process. A few minutes later the truck exploded and was incinerated. There was no driver error. Everybody who hears my story tells me that I'm lucky to be alive. However, Ive been out of work ever since. I do have legal representation in a workers comp case pending in Pa. My lawyer informed me that it may take up to a year before I start receiving workers comp benefits because my employer failed to have workers comp coverage while operating his business in Pa. I have absolutely no income. I lost my home and is now staying with a relative, sleeping on his couch. My car was towed due to expired tags. My bill to get my car out of the tow yard is now $2500 and rising daily. If I dont get my car out I will lose it in less than two weeks. I'm in serious pain daily from my injuries but cant get medical treatment because I dont have medical insurance and is forced to wait until I begin receiving workers comp benefits before I can get medical treatment. I applied for and was denied public assistance because I have only joint, and not full, custody of my 6 year old daughter. Even though NC Dept Of Social Services sympathized with what happened to me they told me that nc dss policy dont allow a parent with only joint custody of his child to get public assistance despite the fact that the nature of my occupation (over the road commercial transportation)prohibits me from having full custody of my child. I cant work until I receive treatment for my injuries. I dont know what else to do for money while waiting for my workers comp case to go through.I currently cant even provide food for myself and my daughter. Everyday I'm sinking deeper and deeper into destitution, anxiety and depression.I am sincerely hoping that somebody will read my story on Begslist and decide to help me. I am a hard working American citizen that, through no fault of my own, was involved in an on the job incident that left me injured, homeless, carless and destitute. I need help.Again, my situation is 100% verifiable. If you have any questions please call 980-345-7601 and ask for Wayne. Any and all help you can provide me will be truly appreciated.

Hello. I am a commercial big rig driver by occupation. My story is 100% verifiable. I'm in dire straits as a result of an on the job injury that occurred on 9/20/11. On that day I was operating a tractor trailer in Lamar, Pa delivering a load from Ohio to New Jersey when the truck I was driving caught fire and exploded. I had to jump out of the truck while it was burning, minutes before it exploded, injuring me in the process. The truck was incinerated. There was no driver error. Everybody tells me that I'm lucky to be alive. I've been out of work ever since. I have legal representation in a workers comp case pending in Pa. My lawyer informed me that it may take up to a year before I start receiving workers comp benefits, because my employer failed to have workers comp insurance while operating in Pa. In the meantime I have absolutely no income. I already lost my home since the incident and is now staying with a relative in his living room. My car was towed for expired registration.My bill to get my car out of the tow yard is now $2500 and rising daily. If I dont have the money to pay the bill I will lose my car in less than two weeks. I'm in daily pain from and in serious need of post er medical treatment for my injuries but, without medical insurance, I'm forced to wait for medical treatment until I begin receiving workers comp benefits.Each and every day that passes I'm sinking deeper and deeper into destitution,anxiety and depression.I have a 6 year old daughter and cant provide even food for her, much less clothes and school supplies. I applied for welfare but the nc dept of social services told me that I dont qualify for public assistance because I have only joint custody of my daughter. Despite my explanation to DSS, that due to the nature of my occupation(over the road commercial transportation)I cant have full custody of my child, I was still denied public assistance. I cant return to work until my injuries are treated. I dont know what else to do but reach out to people for financial help via Beglist.com. My situation is 100% verifiable. If you have any questions please call 980-345-7601 and ask for Wayne. Any and all help that you can provide me will be truly appreciated
