I had a very large thymoma removed in 11/21. It was to be a 1 week hospital and 1 month home. it became a month hospital and 3+ months at home. I lost the use of 1 lung and am on oxygen. I have now returned to work. The problem is I can currently only work a max of 24 hours/week and I am out of leave. So my last 2 checks have not covered my bills. I have a $766 mortgage payment, $200 student loan,$250 monthly utilities bill, and of course $1000s in medical bills.

My request is help with these bills, which I will happily provide evidence for, so you know I am truthful. Another solution, which is preferable, is a job for my husband, this would allow us to help our selves and others.

I would love to promise to pay it all back, but I am not sure I will be able to do this, I was barely making it prior to going in the hospital. What I do promise is to pay it forward, once I am back up. I am willing to try to work something out if that would allow you to help me.

I am a single mom struggling with the needs of a disabled child. The father is a deadbeat and I am without financial or emotional support. My son needs some medical/exercise equipment to help manage his Sensory Processing Disorder and I just can’t afford it. To work a second job would mean I am away from him when he needs me and the majority of my pay would go to childcare anyway. I see no other solution. I am asking for help meeting the goal of $20k. Thank you for whatever help you can offer my child.

Hello.I'm not used to ask for help, but I think this is mai last solution to refund a loan that I have made to pay my intuition fee.I have lost my job in May last year and I had to borough money to pay the College fee.The deadline to refund is 1.04.2012 and I didn't manage to find a new job.The loan is about 500-600 euro.Any cent is helpful.Thank you very much

My father was diagnosed with Lung Canger, Stage Four a month ago. He worked all of his life to support his family and has always helped others out. Two months ago he thought he had a pnemonia and called his doctor to set up an appointment. She failed to find an infection and refered him to get further testing. The test results came back that he in fact has lung cancer and it has spread to his brain, liver, and lymph nodes. The cancer also caused extra fluid to accumulate around his heart which they drained. He just finished his first round of radiation treatment and is undergoing Chemotherapy twice a month. The doctors gave my father a prognosis of 18 months.
My parents have a mortgage and many of bills that are currently falling behind due to my father being unable to work. He was approved for Social Security Benifits but there is a 5 month waiting period with no exceptions and therefore he needs to wait until September to see his first check. I tried everything I could to see if there was an exception and the Social Security office told me that I would have to talk to my Senator. I plan on writing to him regarding this, but I know it will take a while before I hear back from any of them. Seeing my 56 year old father in such agonizing pain is hard enough, seeing my mother in a constant state of depression is extremly hard and trying to come up with plans to get fincancial help for my father seem to all be for nothing because he got not qualify for financial help due to my mothers pay. They dont put into consideration that they have a mortgage and a vehicle to pay for and with all of the doctors bills and presciption costs; they do not have enough money.
I am looking for any help that I can get. Any donated money would go directly to my father for his bills and mortgage payment. It would also go to presciptions and doctors visits so that he can continue to get good care. I have tried so many ways to find a solution to his financial problems and this is my last hope. This will save him a lot of additional stress. If there is any money that anyone could donate, it would be greatly appreciated.
We also do not know how we would come up with finneral expenses and such when the time comes. Any donations will not be used unless it is for my fathers healthcare, bills or for his funneral costs when the time comes. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

I've worked for a Non-profit for the past 5 years. I loved my work even thought it paid vary little.

I am a self funded 51 yr old retired woman.If anyone out there needs advice and mentoring on how to help themselves, I would be willing to help. I will not give you money, as that is not a solution. I will show you that life does not need to be this difficult. My husband and I raised 4 kids, and never earned a high income. How much you make is irrelevent. It is how you look after it.
There is no reason to spend more than $100 month per person on groceries.
If you want ongoing advice on how YOU can turn this around, email me.
My email address is kathryn_dayle@hotmail.com

I do not need to know your name, address or phone number. We will only correspnd via emails.

I am a 28 years old married woman having 2 kids.
I’m writing this to you seeking a help from your side. I was desperately cheated by one
of my relative
with a sum of $30,000 without my husband’s knowledge.
Because of this debt I’m not able to lead a happy life with my family. Neither concentrate on my kids.
I tried in several banks, money lenders, etc but could not find a solution for this. Instead my debt is increasing day by day my debt is increasing.

Please help me by lending this amount. Please I beg you. I’m helpless.
By doing this you give life to 3 people.
I’m in such a situation that from past two days I’m feeling like killing myself.
But I’m alive only for my two kids.

This money helps to clear all my debt. And I can lead a happy and successful life in future.

Again I BEG you for the sake of my kids.
Please understand my situation.
Awaiting a positive response soon.

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.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm a single parent that is experiencing financial hardship due to: job loss, health problems, medical bills etc.

I have fallen behind on my payments because my income has dropped considerably, and I have been unable to work for 2 years now. I'm behind on my rental and utilities. My landlord has been kind enough to help for the last 6 months, but we have been given a deadline of March 1st. My elderly parents depend on me as well.
The amount would help pay 6 months ahead, including utilities, and would keep a roof over our heads. This would allow me some time to keep working toward finding a solution for my situation.
Please consider my request.





I want to take this time to thank you for your generosity and support. There are no words to express the depth of my gratitude. Thank you for listening....
And no matter what you decide may you be continuously blessed for making a difference in peoples lives. Just the mere thought of acts of kindness still exists just warms my heart.
Our needs are dire.

Hello,

Ok..I really hate doing this but I feel like I have no other option. Let me first explain my position. I am a second year computer science student, last year I became the sole provider for my two younger siblings, one of whom has a serious medical condition. Things have been very, very tight but we just make ends meet with me working two partime jobs, while squeezing in my studies. The problem I now face is that my computer decided to spectaculary kick the bucket. I really have tried everything to either fix my old computer or find a way to replace it. The most cost effective solution I came up with is to buy a second hand system. The thing is I need at least $80 and no matter how hard I try to rebudget I can't get hold of this amout within anything close to the time I need to.

I kindly ask that if anyone feels if they can help me out, could you please lend me this amount to durmonte@yahoo.com via Paypal or Moneybookers. I really feel debased at having to write this but I feel determined to consider any help that I may recieve as loans since I feel deeply commited to paying them back with interest. I plan to start my own business and, as however comical it may sound, I truly hope that I will be able to pay back in the future.

Thank you for reading this.

My best friend from middleschool is 5 months pregnant with her first baby.Unfortunatly she is unemployed and can barely provide for herself. It seems now that adoption is the only solution for her and the baby. Please help me to help her keep her precious baby. Thankyou and godbless.

I find myself sitting and thinking of ways to get rid of this debt faster and I keep coming up with the same solution..."Ask total strangers to spare $1!" It seems so simple. If I was able to convince 41,000 people, total strangers, to spare $1 to help me get rid of my debt then problem would be solved. This simple method of "pay it forward" has successfully been done in the past.

We are doing our part to pay off our debt. We are placing $1,192 per month against our debt, we will be doing that until it is gone. All I'm asking is for you, the Internet user, to help out by sparing, at the very least, $1.

Why should you help me out, you ask. Well you would feel better about yourself. Maybe Karma will reward you. When the day comes that our debt is gone, I don't count our Mortgage because that is "Good" debt, I will focus the kindness of total strangers on to another person that is struggling with debt. If you help us, then someday someone might help you when you need it. SO HELP US, and maybe someday, I'll be able to help you.

So if you have an extra buck or two, please send it my way! All I need is $1 from 41,000 people, or $2 from 20,500 people, or $5 from 8,200 people, or $10 from 4,100 people or $20 from 2,050 people.

Gratitude to all who are on this site!
In 2009 doctors and many others witnessed tiny fluorescent white little puff balls, I call them (They are actually rice grain shaped), emerging spontaneously from my skin by the hundreds,maybe thousands. I have been ill most of my life on and off, for at least 15 years with migraines 25 or more out of 30 days much of spring through fall. When the disease(es) is/are fully active, it is sheer unending torture...
Mild examples are that I got stung by a bee, and was relieved to see it was bee, not the disease..the other day for about 5 minutes, it felt like I had a pinl sticking into my back, antibiotic final stopped it.the itching, stinging, is unreal, intense . I have kept it subdued through alternative cures a.d mixes after anti fungal with antibiotic, yet it still persists, and spring and summer heat make it overactive.
It seems to come with this rustcolored mold that is now everywhere in the little camper I am living in. This rust colored mold also grows kn and in me, creating ...well, ill leave out all the gorey detsils..My family helped me to buy this new, in hopes living in good clean air would help. We looked at the mold under a microscope, and like the fibers that come out ogle, it is fibrous, not mold- like
To add to this, we looked at a slide I made of the fiber in 2009, and one of the fibers turned into a slug like thing while in storage on the microscope, and there is this strange black ink- like looking circle around it all.
my doctors are at a loss, as they don't know of any test to identify this. The fibers just came back as unidentified plant material. It is strange to see them emerge..it just blips right out of the skin in less than a second.
because my camper is now covered in this, no matter how much I clean, every rain the camper gets covered.
Whatever this organism had done to my body, I itch, well all the time. it gets worse when I touch people or old books, I cannot sit on fabric, I have to bring plastic with me wherever I go..
Even my bed is covered in plastic
This organism fights other organisms, even acidophilus!
This and my severe migraines led to finally sucumbing to the acceptance of needing help, which came immediately through disability.o
My goal now is to identify this organism(or group of organisms. I have to get the camper de- termed. I am so sensitive, even staying in people's homes is out of the question now.
I basically require a simple box,ee batbroomand kitchen with no carpete amper drapes, furnishings, unless all 3, etc. And living in Los Angeles, only h budget, the camper is the best solution right now. Help getting me out of this camper, help paying the cost of a company that will remove the mold/ organism, and help with paying for tests to identify this are needed most any experts in any of these areas, I guess if you donate a penny and leave your contact information through PayPal, I would be so grateful!
i' m seeing the infectious disease doctor in January...again though, they don't test, it seems for what I have
So my requests.
if there are any mycologists,, geneticists, mold remediation specialists, (to get my camper less toxic)
And any funds to send out samples to be tested (one place, parasite testing.com calls this neurocutaneous syndrome..and may be able to identify.. it just a swab test is $120!)
And I need to get myself into a place that is healthy for me...eventually it will either be a new camper or studio rented somewhere. For now, until get the mold out of this camper, I will not sell it.
So this is a tidbit of my story...I was a healer, then got too sick! I now channel some of that into healing art
Any help is appreciated! I am much toover- sensitive for any direct healing, I do appreciate intent/prayers out to the grater energy, beyond even consciousness that we are all a part of. I must reflect back any direct energy channeled through, and specifically deny permission for this( learned the hard way)
Thank you for taking the time to read this, for being at this site in the first place
May the world bring to you all you truly feel in your heart right for you!
Namaste

PS. My computer has been down, and writing this on a cell phone. Much as i tried to go back, I could not correct the typos!

I am 31 years old with a varied and extensive resume as well as a degree in computer application development (not that that degree is particularly relevant...).
I have found 10 acres of rural land in Alaska.
This land costs $8,000.
I would like to buy the land and build a year round cabin on the property, to live in year round.
I am from a rural background (BC = Before College) and have working knowledge of home building and can gather the required materials from the land and surrounding area for the construction of reliable, comfortable, and sustainable housing. I have done an immense amount of research regarding the accomplishment of my goal (to be independent of today's social requirements) and have formulated a bullet-proof plan to live a comfortable yet remote life away from the hustle and bustle of modern entrapment's and closer to the dream of our ancestors. I am willing to elaborate on my plans regarding the dwelling and the steps I will take to accomplish my goal while sustaining the creature comforts of modern day living.
In addition to my rural upbringing I am also a combat military veteran with working knowledge of para-military and survival tactics.
I have saved enough money to move to the property of my choice from my home state and have also provided for the tools, food, clothing and provisions(including shelter) needed to complete this project, the rest of the requirements of the project will be bought or shipped at or near the building location at my personal expense. I have considered every avenue required to secure financing and have been stopped by my credit alone. Really what matters the most to me is that I will have the opportunity to work for a permanent solution to my financial. social, and economic ills. However, due to my poor credit rating (Thank you 17yr old me) I have been unable to secure financing from "the man" and have been forced to beg of the internet. Please o' please grant me my life... That being said, in addition to the months of preparation I have done, I have secured the willing enlistment of free labor (in the form of an old army buddy) for this project. That being said, with my current financial situation I cannot afford to purchase the land for the cash asking price even though it is 10 acres at a fraction of the price normally requested for that expanse of property. What I am asking for is enough money to purchase the land ($8,000 USD). In return I am willing to spend 2 months every year (during any year) devoted to work for my benefactor for up to 4 consecutive years. Call it hired hand, indentured servitude, slavery, or [insert vague derogatory/demeaning name here]. What matters to me is that if I work my ass off I can be sucessesful. Please O please help me reach my goal. I am at your mercy o awesome and wonderful internet.

I'm a 22 years old male from Europe, Romania. I have a huge story and i dont want to get anybody boored. Sorry about my english anyway. I'm struggling for about 4 years to find a good job here in Romania and in other countryes also (Denmark, Czeck Republic and Slovakia so far). I allways fail, i never get the chance to get some money so i gave up. I want to work, but cant find any job here that can provide me at least rent, utilities and food, not talking about clothes and other things a human person needs... Here average salary is around 150-200 Euro if you are lucky to get one. Rent is around 100 Euro without utilities. Now i'm working as a security guard and making 110 Euro per month...I have a girlfriend for almost 4 years now wich im planning to marry her because i love her very much, but that wont happen any time soon... you figured it out, no money = no family = no future. Actually im not begging for money, im begging for a job if possible, but money would be good also to get me on my feet... I dont know that else to say, that was the summary of my life, and by the way , is the first time im doing this ''online begging''. I dont even know why im doing this... Maybe because im desperate that im having no future, that my parents are broke and cant support me anymore, and that im living 3 hours away from my girl friend and cant succed in raising some money to get togheter with her.. So if anybody is kind enought to find a solution to my problem ill really appriciate it. Have a nice life, everybody !

I am very shocked to find myself in this position and would never have thought I would ever "beg" but I find I have to try everything possible. My job was outsourced to India and I suffered a HUGE loss in salary. I now have 2 low paying jobs and as luck would have it, everything possible has broke,leaked, or stopped up! My furnace in my house broke, the clothes dryer,dishwasher,stove have all broken in the same month. The toilet upstairs leaks downstairs and the only tub I have is now clogged so that it can't be used. I have already paid hundreds for plumbers and the only solution is now to rip out walls to remove the old pipes to find where clog is. I also now have 2 broken teeth in need of immediate repair before the roots becomes infected. So as I search for a new better paying job I am in desperate need of help. I now know how the early settlers felt having to take a "bath" in the sink. I certainly don't see an employer hiring a stinky 52 year old woman. This has caused me to be behind on my mortgage as well and I am in jeopardy of losing my home.
Any little bit you can give would be helpful and I fully intend to "pay it forward" once I am back on my feet. Thank you all from te bottom of my heart.

Thank you for reading this. I lost my job a few months back and haven't been able to find a new one. Me, my wife and my 10 year old daughter have been trying to get by on my wife's wages alone. We have fallen three months behind on our mortgage payments. Our mortgage company is working on a loan modification for us but first we need to pay a month and a half worth of mortgage payments. I feel terrible resorting to this but we're so close and I'm desperate to keep my family in our home. Any small amount would help and bring us closer to a loan modification that would be a long term solution.

Hi, i have never really done anything like this before so here goes. I am 29 years old and have worked in the service industry most of my life as a cook. I have always said i was going to go back to school but i never really found the time since i have always worked 50+ hour weeks. For the last year work prospects have been dismal. You would think that service industry work is plentiful but i have been proven otherwise. Pretty much what brings me here now goes like this :
I had what i thought was a decent amount of money saved up after the restaurant i worked in closed its doors. When i had first started saving this it was originally intended to go into my college fund. After paying rent, car payment, phone bill, food, internet
along with some quality of life expenses i am down to my last 23 dollars. I have already either sold or am in the process of selling anything of value i have in my apartment (funny enough having a hard time doing that too only thing that sold quickly was my xbox 360 and my flat screen). Again, i don't know what to do. I keep doing the right thing. Looking for a job has become my job. I have tried to do everything i can to minimize my spending even down to eating one meal a day and walking to look for work (you would be surprised how after a while walking a few miles is preferable to paying 2.25 for a bus fare). As time is going by my clothing are starting to deteriorate and my shoes are worn on the outer heel of each to the point i can see my socks. I do have another pair of shoes but when you are looking for a job dress shoes i wore once at a wedding and damn near tattered jeans and super faded shirts doesn't sound like a good idea when you're trying to impress a potential employer.
I feel like i am just screwed now. Soon i wont be able to afford my cell phone payments (i need this to keep in touch for job prospects) and i am currently arranging to find somewhere to stay temporarily since i wont be able to afford my apartment anymore (makes me glad i had the forethought to pay a few months rent in advance while i still could). I don't have any family left and my 2 friends in the world and now ex girlfriend are having enough money problems of their own they couldn't help me if they wanted to. I am currently only eligible for foodshare and a reduced payment plan for my electricity. I have tried every state resource that is meant to help out people in my situation but aside from the foodshare and utilities assistance all i found was jaded city workers and disappointment.
Getting to the point i have nowhere else to turn for help aside from charity. I don't have money left and i am freaking out. I ran a laundry list of things that everybody needs and i cant afford simple things anymore like soap, shoes , toothpaste and clothing.
I am planning on getting what i need together and go to college since i don't want to be a cook for the rest of my life but i need some help. Anything that can be thrown towards my expenses so i can keep my head above water until i manage to find a job and pay for my high school transcripts to be translated so i can apply for financial aid and go to school (i am aware that college is not a solution to my situation but i can at least take that time to learn something new that i can apply to hopefully increasing my earning potential). I cant do this if i am homeless.
So please anything can help since its more than i make right now. I am scared and i honestly do not think i will fare well homeless in the streets. I don't want to end up homeless in the dead of winter.

Hi, i have never really done anything like this before so here goes. I am 29 years old and have worked in the service industry most of my life as a cook. I have always said i was going to go back to school but i never really found the time since i have always worked 50+ hour weeks. For the last year work prospects have been dismal. You would think that service industry work is plentiful but i have been proven otherwise. Pretty much what brings me here now goes like this :
I had what i thought was a decent amount of money saved up after the restaurant i worked in closed its doors. When i had first started saving this it was originally intended to go into my college fund. After paying rent, car payment, phone bill, food, internet
along with some quality of life expenses i am down to my last 23 dollars. I have already either sold or am in the process of selling anything of value i have in my apartment (funny enough having a hard time doing that too only thing that sold quickly was my xbox 360 and my flat screen). Again, i don't know what to do. I keep doing the right thing. Looking for a job has become my job. I have tried to do everything i can to minimize my spending even down to eating one meal a day and walking to look for work (you would be surprised how after a while walking a few miles is preferable to paying 2.25 for a bus fare). As time is going by my clothing are starting to deteriorate and my shoes are worn on the outer heel of each to the point i can see my socks. I do have another pair of shoes but when you are looking for a job dress shoes i wore once at a wedding and damn near tattered jeans and super faded shirts doesn't sound like a good idea when you're trying to impress a potential employer.
I feel like i am just screwed now. Soon i wont be able to afford my cell phone payments (i need this to keep in touch for job prospects) and i am currently arranging to find somewhere to stay temporarily since i wont be able to afford my apartment anymore (makes me glad i had the forethought to pay a few months rent in advance while i still could). I don't have any family left and my 2 friends in the world and now ex girlfriend are having enough money problems of their own they couldn't help me if they wanted to. I am currently only eligible for foodshare and a reduced payment plan for my electricity.
