Spare Tags

Hi, I'm a mom with 3 little girls in elementary school and a gorgeous husband and I thought my life, though simple, was perfect. We've never lived beyond our means and have tried to do the best by our family. We've given to lots of charities (mainly World Vision and Red Cross) and never thought we'd have to ask ANYONE for even a penny.
I don't know if "Medical Bills" is the right category but medical is why we can't pay our other bills and are in trouble with the bank over our home payments.
Since #3 was born I have had a bowel resection following them finding colo-rectal cancer - and I thought that was the end of it. I now have a prolapsed uterus (sorry.. this area of my body is a disaster) which I need to have operated on. I have to pay for that operation but also I'm scheduled for a routine staging colonoscopy at the same time. This is TOO MANY BILLS! I am praying that this will be the end of it and I can return to full-time work in the next 3 or 4 months.
There are so many stories of people's difficulties that I'm a little embarrassed to even ask. If you can spare a small amount, our family would really appreciate it.

Hey, normally this would be the last type of thing I would do, as I like to earn my money and not just get bailed out, but I find myself with nowhere else to turn.

I've had to move twice in the last year and a half, and I arrived at my latest place two months ago, only to find the job I was transferring to was no longer available.

I finally managed to find a small part-time job a couple weeks ago, but I am now very behind on bills and rent ($650) is fast approaching. I have the first electric bill payment of $280 looming overhead (first month plus a $200 deposit) as well as student loans and basic internet bills so I have internet access for more job hunting.

I just managed to pay off some private loans, so I have about $10 to my name, and will need every penny from work to make rent this month.

I'm not asking for rent or to pay off my bills, but just a spare dollar or two for some food could go a long way, thank you so much!

I am working full time, not getting child support, supporting my whole family. I am barely making enough to cover all of my bills and daycare, and haven't been able to save for tires. I came across this site, and thought it couldn't hurt to try. ANYTHING would be helpful, my tires are completely bald, and 1 of them is a spare. I desperately need to get a set of tires so I can continue to have reliable transportation for me and my kids.

Times are tough. The economy is bad. And I need some financial assistance. Please help with a small donation of $1 or whatever you can spare.

Thank you.

My boyfriend and I both work but our wages have been cut massively in the past 6 months. We just scrape by on what we have.

My boyfriend's family has a large bill to pay ($3000) and have asked us to contribute. This seems fair however we have no money to give them. Our part would be $800 and we just don't have it spare. If we had it, we would give it without a second thought.

However, they won't accept that we just don't have the money - even after showing them our balance of $0 - and say that we are being selfish and that if we don't pay the money, they won't speak to us again and will stop us from seeing our adorable 6 month old nephew (born on Christmas Day).

We're desperate and don't know what else to do.

We really appreciate any help at all.

Thank you for reading and may God bless you.

Where to begin? Well Im currently pregnant, close to 7 months and working part time. Ive stepped in some muck lately but it just gets deeper, trying to get out though. I have a roof for which Im thankful but have nothing to cook on, I have an ok job but no transportation, Im being blessed with a second child at my age but no bassinette or car seat, I barely make the bills and have a disabled mom to support, but I get up every day and try. Im only asking for a little relief from worry as I near maternity leave (unpaid of course). If anyone can just donate spare change thats a few cents off my mind, and believe me worry weighs more than an elephant! Anything would be a blessing, pennies from heaven or a quarter from the ashtray in the car :) Thank You

Let me first say, whatever you can spare, if not the full amount would help if many different people gave a few bucks. My family needs around $1000 to get back on track. I could insert a sad story to go along with this, but the truth is we bit off more than we could chew, and are now paying the price. Let me just say that without this money, my wife could be held criminally responsible for a check bouncing. This crime is looked at as theft and check fraud. She just didn't realize what she was doing, having come from a very sheltered home. I currently am out of work, and we have two infants sons. We don't like to ask for help, but sometimes I think it is okay to ask for help, especially since we are helpful people towards other in times of need. That is part of the problem in a way, because she lent money to her friend, and it wasn't paid back like they discussed. So, whatever you can spare, there are my children to think about, and it has been a real bad year or two for us financially. Thank you so much.

I'm on bended knee asking for a very small sum of money, $5.00. I work as a produce assistant at a grocery store. I drive an older car with terrible gas mileage.

I'm in need $5.00 so I can buy enough gas to get to work in the morning. Once I'm there, I can pick up my pay and buy gas for the ride home.

I would be so appreciative if someone could just provide me with a few dollars to put gas in my car.

This is my last chance, if I'm unable to show to work again, I will lose my job. I've never missed work for any reason other than not having the funds for gasoline.

Anything you can spare will be forever remembered and I will pay it forward.

Thank You,

Help work full time but have huge rent on a small flat trying desparately to save to buy property and get out of our debts but always something going wrong or needing fixing. This weekend it was the car, then there was a parking ticket even though had brought and displayed a ticket and my daughter made a pretty pattern out of the evidence.! how could I be cross she didnt know. I have had two stil births which have left me with depression but also strength and just wanna make my little girl whos 11 have a happy life with pennies to spend and a house of our own to live in, anything you can spare oh please help us love me xxx

I have tried in many ways asking for help to keep my utilities on . I really am disabled and only have a very small income at this time . I am waiting on Social Security disability but that can take 8 more months so I am going to try a different approach to asking for help, instead of asking for one person to donate all I need I am asking each person who comes across this ad and reads it to send me one US nickle, heck even a US penny will do, it all adds up and if enough people send me a penny or a nickle I will be able to catch up my utilities so I do not loose my rent assistance and end up homeless. Yes this is for real, times are tough and I understand people just don,t have money to give right now, but anyone can afford a penny, a stamp, and an envelope. I give my word it will be put on utility bills and real needs such as glasses to see. Thanks and God Bless. Please No scammers, I am tired of scammers answering my ads. I have no money, can not work and no bank account, I have nothing for you to take, I will not cash checks and forward part of the money to some other person. I will not send you money to wire me money,I do not have money to do that if I did I would pay it on my bills. For those of you who will send me your spare nickels or pennies thank you so much. Have a great summer.

I'm 27 years old and unable to pay my current bills. I take care of my ill mother and disabled husband. I really don't know what to do. I would love to have a job, but no one wants to hire me due to the fact I'm needed by so many. We have six beautiful kids and I love them dearly. Please if you can spare anything I can assure you it will go to a family who will appreciate it everyday. I had no where else to turn.

That is exactly where I am at right now. I have been married as of April twenty-one years to a man that was verbally and mentally abusive. Yes, I put up with it for all those years which is for me to deal with but it did make me burn out finally. There are friends that have asked me how I put up with it and I don't know. Anywho, I have made it through this month which is six months and the divorce still won't be final for a while since there are details about the property that are up in the air for now but have ended up turning my finances upside down to the point I cannot even get gas to do my work. I have sold things and did everything possible to keep going but I am worn out from even that. I need any change you can spare so that I can get turned back around and be able to put things back on track.

I have no money (well dur!!) and it's nobody's fault except good old moi. I've never saved money, always lived to my means, and made do with what we have. But now that rainy day I should have been saving for is now here, and I could really do with some extra cash! Neither me or my family have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, we won't die if nobody donates, my children won't starve and I'll probably carry on making do. But having that little bit extra would just help so very much. I know are thousands of people worse off then I am, who are much more deserving of financial help. But if there is anyone in the world who can spare any amount of cash it would be immensely appreciated and would just make my day/month/year!! As that saying goes, "if you don't ask, you don't get", so we'll see what happens!!
