My fee is only $5 dollars!
Pay me through pay pal (with their phone number )and I will call them once the payment is cleared and received.
If you want to hear my voice or ability beforehand then you will need to message me with your number and we can talk.
I can even sing happy birthday the Spanish way.
I really need to make money for rent and would appreciate any work you send my way.
Please remember that respect is a two way street and I will not allow disrespectful people to degrade me just because I need work.

I am a 43 year old woman who is married to a 43 year old man. We both moved to Miami Florida and thought that our lives were about to become better. I went to school for cosmetology, and my husband found a great job in Customer Service with the Visa company. Now one and a half years later we are about to lose everything we have tried to work so hard for. I have finished school and I have obtained my cosmetology license. And I have searched for a job ever since. Unfortunately for me I have found out that Miami is a city where you cannot find a decent place to work without speaking spanish, and that most places they speak only spanish so i cannot find a job yet. My husband just lost his job last month and now we are behind in all of our bills. Our rental agreement states that we can be evicted after the 10th of the month if rent is not paid and we are now going on the second month because my landlord has seen that we have always been good with paying rent. But noone can live for free and now she has told us that if we do not pay rent this week she will have to evict. If there is anything anyone can do to help even 5 dollars we would greatly appreciate it.

On December 23rd 2010 I lost my Nana who I'd lived with since being a teenager to a stroke, two days after the funeral I found out my mum had terminal cancer and she was given two weeks to live. I lost my job and my home and the two people closest to me. My father had left when I was a baby and I have no brothers or sisters, I was the only 1 left to pay for my mothers funeral I was 21 years old and just been fired from my job for having too much time off during the terrible time. I moved to Spain with the only person I had left in my life, My boyfriend who has been supporting me since then, but not being able to speak Spanish I'm finding it impossible to get work and pay off the loan I had to take out for the funeral costs. I have never done anything like this before and feel bad asking total strangers for help but my debt is piling up and I am constantly worrying about it I have just gotten over losing my mum and nana, but this just constantly gets me down!! Please Help I don't know what else to do.

In 2009 our son was born very prem.
We had lost 11 babies to miscarriage and a daughter to
Stillbirth.
Our boy is a true miracle as my wife has a blood disorder.
Our little man has mild cerebral palsy and autisim and we try to help him to our best abilities but due to me losing my job when the company i worked for, for 5 years went bust things are beyond tough.
The worst thing of all my boss wasnt paying my social security contributions so by spanish law we only get 59 euros a week for 3 of us to live on.
This also means he only gets emergency health care. No vacations, physio or speech therapy.
My wife and i live on toast so he can eat better but its not enough.
We have 9000 euros of debt and owe 9 months rent.
We will be evicted soon.
Both my wife and myself wish to return to the uk after 10 years here but we need money for flights, warm clothing and money to rent an apartment.
With christmas coming up it will be another year and the economic situation is getting worse here.
My son and wife need urgent medical treatment this situation is so terrible.
If you can help you would have our gratitude and prayers forever.

I am a college student majoring in Worship Ministry and Spanish. My name is Jess, and I have a big heart for reaching children and youth. This site was a last resort for me, I don't like asking for money, but I need it. I am supposed to be going to Jacksonville Florida sometime within the next few months, but due to recent car trouble, and unexpected hiccups, I can't buy my ticket to or from Florida. I will be ministering to the youth and outreaching with a good friend who lives there. But I just don't have the money, being a college student to pay for a plane ticket. I would've gotten the tickets sooner but I didn't know if I could get my schedule with work and school to be free enough for my two week trip. I am praying for a miracle from the Lord, because honestly this is my last attempt before just giving up. I know that there are alot of other people in need on this website but if you would consider donating to me, I would greatly appreciate it, more than you could ever know. I know that God will provide because He is Jehovah Jireah, and He is good, we've been praying about this for months and I was really looking forward to it until my car needed a new transmission, and I had familiy emergencies that took up my "Florida money". You can contact me at jessicamariesmith@live.com for more details and further contact information. Thank you for taking the time to read this and God bless!

I met the girl of my life while I was in another country. Now that I'm back in the US, and she's still in Europe, I cannot see her. We talk on skype all of the time and we always write emails. I always tell her how much I love her and how I dream about seeing her in person very often. She didn't used to dream about me, but she recently started! I'm a student and she is, too. We both study Spanish and we talk in Spanish when we speak, which I really like because It's neither one of our native languages. WE are in love, she feels the same way about me as I do for her. I really want to see her for Christmas but flights start at $800, half of which she will pay, which leaves $400 for me to pay. If you know what love feels like, you'll understand me. Thank you for your consideration. I'll even work for it if you have anything I can do.

Do you believe in true love? I do, and I may always believe if bestowed the proper provisions.

She was the only thing that saved me from a life of crime and possibly worse, and she came all the way from Argentina to do so. I was, as I am now, a poor student in Colorado and a "lucky bum" who finally got a break by love finding him. Currently I study foreign language, ie; Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Latin. As impressively smart as one would assume i'd have to be to study so many languages at once, to the contrary I was terribly stupid where it matters most, which is at romance. In short because of being a total " fat -head" and ingrate, I let her get on a plane out of my life without saying goodbye. Its been over a year.

Since then, my nights have been like torture without her, and each new romantic fling has been as hollow and meaningless as the preceding. The good news is however, that her and I have keep frequent contact via SKYPE.COM video calls.(thank God 4 skype!) She is in the same position as I am, realizing that she too cannot find closure to our love, and therefore we have decided that we want to be together, except forever this time. So I decided to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina indefinitely to be with the only girl for me.

However it is not enough for me to just get a plane ticket and rush over to South America and live happily ever after, I will also need a job, as well as a room or a hostel to stay in while I job hunt. ( Quite frankly, I am not trying to be unemployed,broke, and living in her mother's house in S. America, no thanks!) Therefore I am also hoping to earn/receive enough money to enroll in a program called ITTO or (International Teachers Training Organization) in Guadalajara, Mexico to receive my license to teach English as a second language(TESL) before going to live in Buenos Aires.

Target date you ask? I am trying to get out of here by early september or october of 2011. As it stands I am basically homeless, out of school for vacation, (meaning no financial aid) and have been doing temporary labor jobs which barely keeps me fed on the weekly basis, let alone permit me to save money for the provisions necessary to go on this life altering journey to find the truth of true love.

All together, I estimate with the cost of a round trip ticket to Argentina ( round trip, because non- citizens are not permitted with one way tickets) as well as the cost of the fore mentioned ITTO course and travel to and from Mexico from Colorado, plus the survival money I will need once ( god willing) I arrived in B's A's, I stand in a financial need of about $5,000.00 or slightly more.

I realize there are people with more important matters that can use money, and I truly hope they receive charity just as I would like to. However this is a petition for those who understand what it is like to let the perfect one get away and could do little or nothing about it, like a child who drops their ice cream off the cone and sadly watches as it melts on the side walk. By donating to this cause, you can be the "adult" who walks up to that kid, fumbles in his pocket for some spare change to present that poor kid with a new ice cream that takes the tears from their eyes. She is my ice cream, and I don't want another flavor for my whole life. You can help make this possible, by aiding me with an airline ticket, or even check out the ITTO website and if you feel generous enough and pay the tuition of the program. I would be more than happy to correspond with each and every donor to update you on this story with letters and even pictures of what became of your generosity.

I'd like to thank any donors in advance, as well as any one who took the time to read my story and had it in their heart to give but wasn't able. Together we can prove that there is a such things as second chances at a good thing, chivalry is certainly not dead, and love stories aren't just for the story books, in fact...it can happen to you!

Thanks and warm regards,

James McDonald

I want to start off with letting you know that this is very embarrassing to ask for help from strangers but I don't know what else to do. So here it goes.
My husband is in the Army and we have 3 amazing kids ages 9, 7 and 2. We have been married for almost 13 years and have what I like to call "The Picture Perfect Family".
We have recently gotten deep into debt and can't find a way out. This is a last resort to help dig us out.
I have not been able to find work since being stationed in El Paso, everywhere that I have tried requires you to know Spanish, which I do not. I have done babysitting to bring in money but the families that I worked for all moved with the military. Our money is gone as soon as it hits the bank going out to bills and not all of the bills get paid, they just keep adding up. When we think that we are finally getting caught up we get knocked back down again.
My Dad just passed away in January and we had to take out a military loan so that we could fly home. They automatically take out $200 a paycheck and that sets us back even further. Our mortgage check bounced along with two other bills so we have fee upon fee for those.That was just this month and doesn't count the others. The list just goes on and on.
I finally swallowed my pride and went to a food bank last week so that our kids had a warm meal only to be humiliated by the staff that worked there. I was told that since my husband is in the military that we should be financially able to pay our bills and not need a handout. Yes, we do get medical insurance and a steady paycheck but it isn't much. I have sold every unused item in our house and more. I have pawned every piece of gold that I owned and anything else of value. I have taken most of our kids toys to the consignment shop along with most of my clothes.
I am overwhelmed and don't know what to do. If you could help in any way our family would greatly appreciate it. Your help would go towards food for our family and hopefully some catch up on at least our utility bills.
We do not smoke, drink or do drugs. We are a kind and honest family.
Thank you for your time.

Hi, I'm 18 and the summer before I start college I want to do something meaningful which is why I've decided to volunteer in South America. I'm not sure yet which country, possibly Chile or Venezuela although it will depend on how much money I can raise for it. I've decided to either do work with animals or conservation, or something with teaching English, I do have a pretty good knowledge of Spanish so that should help me there! Most of the volunteer organizations are very cheap and they give you accommodation and food, but the problem is paying for a flight there and back home. The flights are around $1,500 so I'm trying to raise that so I will be able to have a great experience helping people this summer! If I can't do this, my plan is to just get a summer job as a waitress or something, but I really don't want to waste my summer on something that insignificant, I want to make a difference. Thank you for any help, all is appreciated! :)

All I want is a chance to prove myself.I live in Anaheim CA.I have extensive experience doing things like 711,Wal-Mart,Pizza Hut,etc.
Unfortunately I was out of work for 2 years because my ID expired when I moved to a new state.It took me 2 years to get my birth certificate from California.Now I have moved back and been trying nonstop for the first 4 months of the year!
It's May now and though I have been on a few interviews there is still no job in sight.
I have several limitations which make it hard to find work:
1.I don't drive.I CAN but since I have no license or car I can't do any job that requires either.
2.I can't speak Spanish.Many of the service industry jobs I used to do,I won't be considered for because I am no bilingual.
3.I have no ability to travel or commute.I have to work in my immediate area because otherwise I would have no way to get back to where I sleep after work.
I am accepting donations of cash,checks,or preferably gift cards to places like Wal-Mart or Target(for clothing,hygiene items,and/or a cheap dispoable phone so potential employers can reach me).Any donation of any amount can be sent to:
Michael Raasveld
General Delivery
Anaheim CA 92803
However what would be of the most help is a job!Any job!I just need a small part time job that would allow me to go back to school.(I have a full scholarship but until I obtain a local ID and can pay the registration fees I cannot even register!I only have one year to go on my degree!)
Are you a manager at a fast food or convenience store franchise?Would you like to help someone who is a good worker get back on their feet?I have someplace I can stay as soon as I can prove I have a job with income no matter how small!And I am even willing to VOLUNTEER!That's right,I will work for FREE to prove my value as an employee!
Please!This is all I can think of to do!You are my last hope!I have been living like this for years now.I just want a chance.
I do not smoke,drink,or do any drugs!I just want a chance.

Ever since I was in middle school, I've wanted to attend NYU Tisch School of the Arts for Music Theater. Now half of my dream has come true! I have been accepted into their program! Unfortunately, I cannot pay for it. After my aid awards, expenses are $40,000 a year, and I can't take out a lot of loans! My dad lives in Peru and never sends me a dime, my grandma is ill and unemployed, and my mom is a teacher who is currently undergoing a salary freeze. As the child of a single parent, I have don't necessarily have the funds to pay for my education! My mom can't take out any loans, so all of the loans would be in my name, and there is no way I can ever pay off all this money! I'm Latin American, fluent in spanish, have a 104% cumulative GPA, am second in my class, have a 2200 cumulative SAT score, almost 300 hours of community service, volunteer for four organizations, have one lots of random awards/honors...do I really need to say more? I've worked my butt off to get this far! And all of this hard work has sadly reaped very little aid. Please, if you have any extra cash, help me go to college!

I was three years old when I began my educational career. My mother had petitioned for my acceptance into kindergarten because my birthday fell a week after the cut off date. The school accepted me though they were adamant because I was believed to be too young for kindergarten. I was sent home after my first week of school. "Mrs. Wilson, Jewel will not be able to continue kindergarten unless she is properly potty trained." My mother called me into her room. "Jewel, your teacher said you can't go back to school until you go to the potty." I never missed a day of class unless it was out of my control after that conversation.

My name is Jewel Smith and I am nineteen years old. I became one of five children after my mother's marriage. Now, I am the oldest of three in our household and my mother is a single parent. When asked, "What is your favorite activity?” most children would respond with a sport, videogames, or TV show. My passion is learning. I enjoy all subjects from sciences to literary works.

My mother strives to give only the best of education for my siblings and me. She made it very clear that we had to work as a team in achieving this goal. I attended a private catholic all girl high school through scholarship and financial assistance. I knew my mother couldn't afford tuition for my siblings and me. During my high school career, I excelled in AP/honors courses, maintained a high GPA, and participated in numerous organizations. Many people in my neighborhood believed I wouldn't "survive" in my high school setting because for the first time I did not attend a school with students who were of my racial or economic class. However, I was able to push through adversity even when it threatened to take my mother's life away during my junior year of high school. My mother's lung collapsed and some doctors stated she almost didn't make it. During my high school career, I learned people could cultivate their differences and come together as one entity regardless of race, class, or gender. I was able to maintain over a 3.5 GPA during my senior year and built a strong support system with faculty, friends, mentors, and family members.

I currently attend DePauw University in Greencastle, IN as an incoming junior. I have a declared major in English Writing with a possible second major in Spanish. I maintain a "B" average. I was granted a large package with my school that covers my tuition and some room and board. Unfortunately, the left over balance is still too much for my mother and I to afford. I was informed that I must pay the left over balance of $6,700 as well as my incoming fall balance of $4,000 in order to continue my education at this institution.

I believe that everyone has a special gift that helps the world become a better place. At five years old I knew I wanted to serve others as much as I can. My ultimate goal is to give back to my home community as well as those who are less fortunate in the world through education. It is through this letter that I ask for your help. I want to continue my educational career through undergraduate and graduate studies. I ask that you partner with me so that I am able to make my dream a part of reality. Thank you in advance.
