Sob Tags

First let me start off by saying I never knew so many people were in need of help like myself. Ive gone from feeling bad for myself and my situation to just feeling bad. We'll if there is anyone out there willing to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not gonna tell a long sob story but I will say that I'm short money for rent and any type of assistance would help. I know that struggling like this wont last forever and I can say once I make it I plan on paying it forward.

My name is Jason, I am 28 Years old and married with three children ages 7,4 and 1 month. When me and my wife married we were "given" my parents home in NY as a "wedding Gift"( home still had mortgage whcih we make the payments on) My wife and i have built a happy stress free life together, only to have it shattered, by drug addict co dependant family mmebers who feel since the home is still owned by my parents (although i pay the mortgage) they can come and go as they please. I have tried everything form asking them to leave , to having my parents ask them to leave, only to be reminded how its "not my home" and i cant make the rules. My wife and i are destroyed at the fact that anyone would tell us its ok that they are putting my childrene in danger or making my kids see there family members like they are. I have been to every bank possible in order to purchase this home from my family, only to be told that iven with anf FHA loan i will still need close to 12000.00 dollars to put down on this home in order to buy it, make it my own, and keep the people whos own selfinshness and obscured mental state is only adding to the destruction of a once happy home. My only other option is to move again from a home i love, that my wife and children love and move away from these people, or purchase the home (which was the plan originally) I now have a a family mmeber leaching off of us, refusing to leave because "its not my home" my wife is out of work on disability due to a recent surgery, she will be returning to work in the next 3 weeks, I have done everyhting for my family, dropped what i was doing at insane times of the night to go "rescue" my drug addict family members, emptied my chiuldrens savings accounts to "save" my drug addict family memebers, gotten loans in my name to save my drug addict family members, only to have it thrown in my face, I am the little borther who spent his life haveing to be the big brother, and i just cant anymore, all that matters to me is my children and wife and keeping them in a safe and stable home where they can have the life i did not,I know its a long shot and everyone has a sob story, but i have no where left to turn, please im begging on my hands and knees, forget pride i just want to save my real family, my wife and kids, they are all that matters to me. My children are in a good school district doing very well, i just dont know what else to do, thank you for your consideration, and any help you can give.

I am in desperate need of 12,000 dollars for a down payment to purchase the home, please, i have to turn to strangers for help, that has ecome the qaulity of my so called "family"

thank you all

Hi,
If someone actually reads this I hope you can reach out and help my family. I guess where to begin would be difficult for me since having to hear about money started at a young age. I could give you a whole sob story but I am not going to I'll just tell you a little about ourselves. My momma was a high school dropout and had three kids me included, she never went back to get a higher education. She married my step dad when I was around seven years old. My middle eldest brother is mentally retarded and my mom did so much trying to help him but it did not work so now he is in a halfway house hopefully being set onto the right path. My step dad is somewhat of an emotionless person because of the way he grew up and because of a leg injury from last year has a hard time finding a job he can do despite all the searching he has done. My eldest brother is so smart but he's wasting his life away at a fast food franchise called cookout, but the brightside for him is he has found true love and expecting a baby. Now onto me I tried looking online to see if their was anything an eighteen year old like me could do to get some extra much needed money for bills but had no luck because they all need money first which is what I don't have. My mom and me have always been very close and im so sick and depressed of seeing her waste away trying to pay all of the bills with what little money she earns at a dead end job. I give my weekly paychecks to my mom just so she can make ends meet and we both only work part time due to all the cut backs on hours from the recession going on. I don't know what else I can say except it would be a miracle from God if something from posting this would happen because I am so unlucky I can't imagine ever winning anything and we are just an ordinary family nothing special about us except that we're in desperate need of a hero.

Hello
I have never asked for help before. I have worked all my life and am still working a full time job and looking for a second job. I got divorced last year and pretty much walked away from the home we owned together ( it was worth it) I now live in a small apt that is my sanctuary. I have to commute around 50 miles each way to work and buying gas and groceries in the same week is not possible. My story isn't any different than anyone elses. I don't have a sad sob story, I am just a regular person who is asking for a hand up not a hand out.Any spare money I have left after paying bills (not much and most times nothing) is going towards a plane ticket or gas money from Boston to Ft Jackson so I can watch my son graduate from boot camp in August)
I woud be willing to repay when I can and am more than willing to pay it forward. PLEASE no scams. Life is hard enough without them
Thank you for reading this.

As the title says, I am a college student, in the last month of my last semester of college (the final stretch!). No sob story, I just do not have enough money to pay my last bill on my tuition, my last months rent/utilities, or my fees for graduation. Anything would help (i do mean anything $2, $3, whatever!)
Thank you so much!

I've never tried a site like this before, and I'm not one for long winded sob stories, but I'm just at the end of my rope, I'm behind almost $500 on my utility bill and it will be shut off in 3 days. I've sold a lot of what I have around, and I can't seem to scrape enough. Even if you can spare just one dollar, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much for even reading this.

I dont have a 2 page sob story to go with my 'beg'. My husband and I both work over 30 hours a week, pay our bills on time etc etc but have never been able to save for a house of our own. The house we are currently renting has a hot water system in the roof which leaks and floods my hall way, a massive crack in my baby girls wall which lets mosquitos and bees into her room so she cant sleep in there at all, an airconditioner which leaks water everywhere, no drinking water to the premises which we have to drive 15kms to get any, mice enjoying living here with us and crappy landlords who do nothing to help fix anything. We have tried to rent at least 10 other properties (the area we live in is not very large) all of which many other people have gotten in before us, so the only option left for us in order to get out of this house is to buy one, meaning we need a huge deposit that we just dont have and wont for a very long time. Our main priority every pay check is to pay our rent and bills and provide for our baby and saving for a house just isn't feasable after these are taken into consideration. Your help would be VERY much appreciated!!!

Hello Everyone, I'm a 24 year young lady living in New Zealand with my partner of one year.

I have some grand travel plans. New Zealand being a small country I know there is such a wide world to explore.

I don't have a sob story to tell you as everyone in life is fighting their own battles, some bigger than others, some may seem more important than others.

I do work full time and try and save as much as I can whilst also paying off my $18,000 worth of debt (Car, Lawyers, Seperation fees etc) and being on one income, my partners role was made redundent so he is currently unemployed :(. So far my travel account has $330, nearly enough for a air fair to Australia one way.

I have a wild passion for travel, when I was married I was very held back by my husband but now I'm free, have grown so personally and wish to explore this whole world. EAT PRAY LOVE is such a inspirational movie!! I'm already selling what I can with Garage sales, working extra cash jobs, watering plants, house sitting etc to try and save faster.

I wish to travel to

Australia - Espically the Gold Coast, take my partner to all the theme parks.

I would love to explore the out back and rough it for a few nights

USA - I would love to travel LA to NY along route 66. I would love to go to Texas, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm and more. My dream job a Rollarcoaster Tester!! Travel the world playing on rollarcoasters. I'm no boring chick, I like adventure and just wish to explore this world.... oh and defintitly want to chase a tornado in America.

Would also love to go to Egypt, Italy, Rome, Thailand. I'm ready to pack up and go. Happy to work when I get to these countries to help my self around.

Im just asking anyone who has kindness in their hearts to help my partner and I, go exploing in this wide world...

PS- If this helps my chances, my partner doesnt believe this will work, (he is a worry wort, I'm the free spirit / universe believer) he made me a deal, if I get at least $500 he will run nudey down the road!! Haha I shook on it and now he is worried.

If you would like to help a young Kiwi Couple out then please donate to us, what ever you can.

Thank you in advance

May you pay it forward an the goodness be returned

I don't want this to be another single mom sob story, but unfortunately it may sound that way. I have 3 precious little boys, one who has several special needs (austism, cerebral palsy, ADHD) and requires a lot of attention.
I lost my job a month ago and have gone through all of my savings not that there was much there. I am about to be evicted, my car was reposessed two days before Christmas, Merry Christmas!
I want to move to a small apartment near their school, I just don't know how. I can't afford the $17 a day in bus fare so I walk the 9 miles home and to their school which eats up most of the time between drop off and pick up.
I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place!

Hey I'm not here for you all to pay my bills or anything but I recently lost my job and it's been rather hard but hey I'm a free American so there's my sanity lol. My birthday is this week and I just want to have beer money to kick back and relax before I get back to my long job search, hey I'm no sob story but wouldn't it be awesome to know your helping a guy have a super b day lol

Hi, I'm not going to give you some (fake)sob story to try and get you to feel sorry for me and I am quite embarresed to have to be doing this, Im a 21 yr old girl and Ive been looking for a job for ages and havnt managed to get one yet and I have 2 debts from catalogues( was unable to pay them as lost my job) they are now takin legal action and will come round to my mums property where I am currently living and take her belongings which I think is unfair. she cant afford to help me and has my little brother to look after also this is causing her a lot of worry. so I am asking you PLEASE to help me pay them off, I owe 873 all together and if you can even make a small donation Id be so gratefull..Also I promise when I finally manage to get a job I will refund the money back to the paypal adress you donated with. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH, it means alot :D Take care

I don't have a sob story to tell, just could really use some extra money. I'm trying to improve myself in a few ways and everything (school, fitness training - to name two) costs $$$. So if you have a dollar (or a few) to share with me I would be very grateful and appreciative beyond words. If you donate and like banana bread, I'd be happy to email you my favorite recipe as a thank you!

First off I want to point out that reading most of these posts you can tell they are scams, they don't even type proper english. But this is no sob story of me loosing my house I am just looking for a good-hearted person possibly trying to help someone out. I am a 19yr old sophomore at college in Boone, NC. I am going to school to get a degree in elementary education and have to work 25-50 hours a week (on top of 18 hours in college, which if you ever went you know is not an easy task on its own) in order to pay bills. My parents have been split up since I was about a year old and neither have extra money to spare. Between tuition, car insurance, car payment, rent, food and cell phone bills I am stressed out and my grades seem to be slipping. I would just like a little less stress in this busy life of mine. If anyone would like to help me out or just wants more information first to confirm this isn't a scam just send me a message. I figured this was worth a try right? Thanks everyone!

My name is Leah. I have been through more tragedies than the average person will ever go through! I lost my dad suddenly when i was 14 years old. Then 10 years later my mom also suddenly passed away. Shortly followed by my only sibling, my sister to suicide. I am not trying to make this a sob story just letting you in on a little of my life.
I married my high school sweetheart (been with him since I was 14) and we had 2 wonderful kids just out of high school. Being a young mother has had its trials and tribulations. My kids are great! But having them young, We had not got established money wise. I am now in Nursing School which takes a lot of time and money on its own leaving harldy any left over.
My dream is to finally be able to take a vacation with my little family. We have never even been out of state (Missouri) I would love for them (and me) to see the beach, be able to fell the sand between our toes, and for once be able to relax and just let go. I have set up a seperate account for this fund so every little bit helps. Thank You so much

Im not ill and im not harping on a sob story i just need a fund to buy some floor tiles for my kitchen that SUCKS!! Honestly it has one ripped up OLD layer of flooring and on top of that an ill fitted glittery red piece of flooring showing the ripped up old flooring!!
B&q aint exactly cheap for them and i dont really like POUNDLANDS ones i have them in the kids room and the cats are gnawing at it!

Hi guys,

I'm not the sort of person to beg and i don't expect sympathy and to use this as a sob story as this is my fault in the first place. I'm 19 years of age and already have the experience of facing debt which i can tell you is not pleasent.

Story...

Ever since two year ago i was introduced to payday loans because due to my credit history where i'd missed my phone bills by accident due to my direct debits not being payed properly it affected my credit rating badly so i was unable to get a proper loan to learn how to drive. I eventually got into a situation where i took out a payday loan to pay the other payday loan and ended up in one vicious cycle. The problem was a couple of month ago i was made redundant and fortunately i found a job the month after with great career prospects (apprenticeship) the only bad thing is i have took a massive pay cut which means i can't afford to pay these debts anymore. So i'm asking anyone out there even if it's just £1/$1 they have free (sorry i'm english) then please donate to my cause? I know there are people out there who are far off worse (homeless/in huge amounts of debt compared to mine) but it's the most horrible situation. I can't sleep or think about anything else other than the problem i'm currently facing. Anybody who can help i will be forever indebted too.

Thanks

Hello!

My passion in life is visual arts and how it can be used to bring together and help communities. I currently work as an assistant in an Art Gallery (I was lucky enough to be picked out of 30 possible candidates). I have dreams of setting up my own studios/gallery/cafe/community project combined in the future. I am planning to go back to university part time, whilst working, and study an arts and community MA to help towards my goals. I hope to meet like-minded people and useful contacts, and take advantage of the support and resources of an institution. I am saving as I go and looking for a second job to help towards raising the money needed for the course. I know I will raise the money eventually, I would just REALLY love to get going and not see it as something way off in the distant future! It's not a massive sob story, I know, but I am ambitious (I am the only person in my family to go to university, coming from a very uninspiring town) I don't earn a lot, and anything to help me get there quicker would be a huge, huge help. I am 100% committed to having a great career ahead of me and reaching my goals!

Thank you for reading my post and taking an interest! :)

"If you live life aiming to do things that makes YOU feel truly proud (however big or small or insignificant it may seem to others)then you are living a good life and that's all there is to it!"

Im not gonna give a big sob story,But my home is all electric(BIG MISTAKE).My bill has reached over $300.xx am afraid of getting shut off notice.Ive been paying $30wk but it never goes down. If your a human and you know what its like being cold,PLEASE HELP. Any donation will help.

I don't have a sob story. I'm really very lucky. This debt accumulated whilst I was in a full time job. My hours have been reduced due to the current climate. Luclily I found another part time job but am still not earning as much as before and am just covering my bills, food and school stuff for the kids. I'd really like to clear my credit card debt but it would be really nice just to be able to find the mimimum monthly payment to pay them too. So, if you do have any money spare, I really would appreciate it.

I'm not ill or using a sob story, I am just asking for some help to cover my grandpas funeral costs he died so suddenly 2 weeks ago and didn't have life insurance or money to cover funeral costs - in fact the money he had left went to charities all over . I miss him so much and feel absoloutley terrible that we cantb afford to give him a good send off it is heartbreaking I loved my grandpa so much Please help me .

I don't want to post a huge sob story here, as you can read those time and time again I'm sure. The short of my situation is my partner of 6 years has up and left leaving me with two children, a pile of debt and bills to pay. I have managed to keep our lives afloat for the past 6 months by downgrading to a small apartment, changing a lot of bills to pay as you go, cutting way back on luxuries and Christmas was definately a small affair this year...but still I don't see the end in sight. The scumbag has left me with £17000 of debt, I suppose it was my own fault as I allowed him to control our finances no questions asked. The only thing he left behind was a car bought with a loan in my name, which I have now sold unfortunately the price I got for the car wasn't what he paid for it, but that's how the world works I suppose. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I struggle monthly to pay my bills and just generally feed my children well. I am in the process of taking legal action against the monster that has left me like this, but finding him is apparently proving difficult. Even advice on how to handle this situation wouldn't go amiss with me. Thank you all for looking.
