My name is Jason. I am a hardworking 28 year old married man with three wonderful children 7, 4, and 1 month old, and the best wife anyone could ever ask for. When I and my wife married we were “given” my parents’ home in NY along with the mortgage as a wedding present. My wife and I have spent the last three years renovating this home, dumping every single cent we had into its improvement. We both come from broken homes and both wanted something more than what we came from, and have managed to build a loving stress free environment for our family, and in a matter of a month my “family” (brother, mother and father) have managed to crush our dream out of selfishness and this, “the world owes me something” mentality they all seem to have.
I work full time and also do side jobs on weekends to make ends meet, my wife has been out of work on disability (she will return full time in the next 3 weeks) due to the birth of our son, which should be the happiest time of our life, and yet I get to go home and see my children upset wondering why there uncle is acting the way he is, I get to see my wife cry over the fact that we have been basically reminded that even though we pay the bill and we fix this home and have made it what it never was for me growing up an actual home, that it is not ours and we should have no say over what happens.
My brother who at one time made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year an selfish heartless drug addict, who even though has never treated me or my family with any respect I have always dropped what I am doing regardless of time or place to go “save him”, and by save usually picking his drug addict ass up and making sure he gets home, or dropping what I’m doing to take him to the hospital cause he is so sick from whatever he has taken this time. Now that brother has decided to move in with us, not ask, not offer to help, but blatantly tell me and my wife, “it’s not your house , I am not asking permission to stay here”, and my parents who told me this home was a “Wedding gift” seem to agree. They feel it’s okay for a drug addict to be living among children, that it’s okay that slowly one by one pieces of my wife’s jewelry are disappearing, or that since he came has literally taken over my infant sons nursery with his disgusting belongings that I found my wife sitting on the floor of the living room trying to feed the baby because he’s asleep on the sofa passed out cold and his belonging are strewn all over the house.
My only options are to buy this home that I and my wife have built a great life in so I can say who stays and goes, or to uproot my children and move as far from these selfish disgusting people as possible.
In order to purchase this home I would need a deposit upwards of 12000 which due to me draining my accounts my sons accounts and my wife’s to “save” my brother from jail, drug dealers, etc., we have nothing left. Which has led me here, led me to the point where I feel more dependent on asking strangers for help than my own family because they can’t even help themselves? I am the little brother (youngest of four) who has always had to be the big brother, I am the one one whose entire family drops there problems in my lap as if to say deal with it. I have been the pillar supporting every single family member I have for the last 28 years, the pillar has finally cracked and can’t hold up the weight of the world anymore. I am begging on my hands and knees for help from completer strangers so I can continue to give my children the life I never had, and offer them some stability instead of having to tear them from the home they have come to love, that my wife has come to love, that I love. I want to give my children the world but my family continues to assure that won’t happen under there watch. Please I beg of you with everything I am I need help. Please don’t make us just another statistic, I found my calling and made a life for my wife and children, I have put aside pride, because they are all that matters to me. Thank You for taking the time to read this and thank you for any support or help you can provide.

If I don`t get some help with some money for food , bills and just daily living to help me get back up on my feet I`m so scared for my family and I & everything I fought for for years will be for nothing . I am down to some days choosing breakfast lunch or dinner or a roll of toilet paper or gas in my car to get my children to school and am I going to have enough to get them back home . Things have got that bad . Look , I have tried my very best all I have ever wanted was a home . I and had my first child at 16 . I am still married to the same man today. We went on to have 4 children . My last two are still at home they both were born with disability`s . We always loved them and taken care of them . My husband always worked was a great worker and provider until 12 years ago when he was in a near fatal wreck and ran off a mountain in Georgia . He tried to go back but , couldn`t After years of many , many hospital stays and therapy 7 years ago he was well enough to stay with the 2 children for me to go to work full time only 3 years ago Surprise . I had to have emergency open heart surgery with another surgery 1 month later then a lung collapse soon after that . I did go back to work but , everything went down hill after that . I kept fighting and struggling until I had to give up in Jan 2012 . I `m waiting to see if I can get approved for my long term disability that I have paid in these 7 years but they say it may be July IF they carry me . So right now I`m in dire straights . I have done all this on my own . I DON`T KNOW THAT THINGS CAN GET WORSE . But , I never know anything from day to day . I never in a million years thought I would have to ask anyone for help much less online . I`m a private person and I feel embarrassed to have to do this but , a lot of times in your life you have to humble yourself . I thought about it and I saw and read about George Zimmerman we all know who that is he gets to kill someone a kid shoot them in the back not get arrested then set up a sight and get over 200,000 and when they do arrest him claim he has zero money . You know something is wrong with this picture . The parents of the child should get that but , that's not my call. because I need to understand just like me people did open their hearts and even thought people like him needed help .I`m not the one to judge . I just need to get out of a hole . I just need some compassion . I need to be able to get ahead and really be able to go and buy shampoo , soap , soap powders , food , gas , and pay some bills and get what is necessary to be able to continue to live a regular just a simple life and my children or husband won`t have to suffer or worry until I can get my long term disability started .
Thank you for reading my story and Thank you for any little gift you may be able to give . If you can`t give I understand to I know times are really , really hard . But , would you maybe say a little prayer for us ?
Thanks & Bless you .

Kind of at a lost on what to say, but here it goes. I'm a 27 year old single mom who works with special need kids in a school, I have been diagnosed with PCOS, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Interstitial Cystitis. A few months ago I started having trouble breathing, went to the dr and was told I was too young to have a problem. Well they did a chest x-ray and found spots in my lungs.Currently they're trying to figure out what's wrong before I get worse. I can't walk without gasping for breath, due to this my daughter stays with dad and I can't work. I'm about to lose my house, I have nowhere to go and need this house to live. Please help

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.

This is very new to me. Doubt anyone actually reads these, but I am desperate. I have 5 children and recently took in another. We cannot afford daycare for all of our children so I work while my spouse stays home to care for the kids. There are somedays where we are flipping couch cushions to find change for milk or diapers. We live paycheck to paycheck and rarely have any extra for even school activities. I spent a year racking up credit card debt just to get by. Now I am in deeper than ever. I no longer have credit cards and will never get one again. I want to pay off my car, student loans and other debt so I can provide fully for my family. I know I screwed up and have learned my lesson. Now I am begging for help! Please; anything will help.

My fiance (Jacob) and I are in need of some help finding a home for our newly forming family of 7 wonderful angels. I am on disability and Jacob is working long hard hours at work as a painter and in school to earn a degree so that he can try and provide better for us and we both are working small side jobs when we can locate them just to put food on the table and do laundry. We fight every month between the two of us to make sure the lights stay on and the water stays running. We over and over find ourselves robbing Peter to save Paul, and always coming up short. We need help. We are begging pleading and praying for any and all the help that anyone is willing to offer no matter how small. God bless.

I am a single mom trying to take care of a son who has a mental disability, and trying to keep another son in college..thier father refuses to be a part of thier lives..In June of 2010, the man I loved and planned on spending the rest of my life with passed away with bone cancer.

Could someone please help me? Anything would be so much appreciated..
thank you,

With the help of some we made some headway with my last posting. However we have a long with to go. After struggling for years with medical and financial problems it's come down to the wire. My wife became disabled about six years ago. Luckily I was able to do contact work giving me flexibility to take care of her weekly Doctor appointments not to mention 4-5 Hospital stays a year and provide for our three children. But since August of last year the wheels came off when work slowed down, then stopped. However the bills continued to mount, after exhausting all resources available it's come down to being months late on rent, utilities, and several other things. We've cut out all the extras a long time ago but even with that we need to come up with at least $4,500 dollars this week. After this the eviction notice, car repossession and just about everything else we have left will be gone. Any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated. Didn't know what else to do. Thank you in advance for any help possible!

I am a stage 4 cancer patient (lymph nodes, liver, and lung) I have been receiving treatment for the last 14 months, and I am now completely out of money. I am divorced, I have 2 kids which my exwife has custody of. A few months ago I decided to go back to work, and that just is not working to the fullest. I cant make it a full day without getting so run down that i have to leave. I try and go every day, but realistically, i get about 20 hours in a week at a time, which is enough to cover my insurance copays.
The bills are piling up, the medicine is expensive.
Between my hospital stays, i also need the care for my son who has a disease called NF1 (Neurofibromitosis)IT is a neurological disorder that among his speech delay (he is 9) he is also required to take blood pressure medicine, and the risk of a heart attack in quite high.
I notice people put some personal info on here,well, my name is Howie and I live in the Houston area, if you would like to send me a text, or to valiate that I am real and not some con artist in another country, my cell is 832-279-7571.
There are hundreds of people on here, if not thousands asking for money, so, if i am fortunate enough to have my story catch your eye, any help would be appreciated.

Hi,my name is R.J Brown. I am 42 yrs old.
I have recently had back surgery ddue to a job injury.
I am not in the position that I once was in staying on top of my bills.I have had to take lesser paying job due to my injury constraints.I use to drive trucks and deliver products to customers sometimes working fourteen to sixteen hour days. The job paid descent wages. Now I can no longer work that type of job. My medical bills are pilling up and most are delinquent.
Can somebody help me get these nagging bill collectors off my back.
My daughter who is fourteen has to go without certain things in order that those bills get paid. She is a great child earning all A's since the fourth grade. Now she is a freshman in and plays basketball for her school and might become mvp for the season while being promoted to the varsity team. She stays on top of her grades allways.
My wife has been a beacon of hope through this whole back injury process. Now I am not able to even to reward her for being such a great wife and mother.Please someone read this and help us get ahead just a little more.
My email address is cedricbran_@hotmail.com

I cannot believe I am doing this, but going thru the normal state assistance channels has gotten me nowhere. I fall into the "crack" of holding a job I haven't been able to attend due to chronic kidney issues and hospital stays, so I don't qualify for even help with heating costs. I just know that during my last pregnancy, my life changed. My kidney began to swell to 4 times it's size, and never went down. My doctor refused to send me to a specalist, so I have to live with the consequence. I have 3 boys who are my world. I am scared to take away their stability in school, home, and life. I believe that stability and always knowing tomorrow they will attend the same school, and have the same home, is the foundation to a successful adulthood. I am scared as hell that I will take that from them if I can't pay my mortgage of 258.88 (pathetic, I know). I live off of 400.00 a month in support, and that doesn't pay utilities, lot rent and mortgage. When I lost my home, I made sure that my total mortgage/rent wasn't above 500.00, as to not live above my means. I figured I could at least come up with that amount. I didn't think my kidney would get worse and make it impossible to even pull off a 6 hour work week. I don't know what to expect on here, but even if it's just advice to an agency that can help me, please. All I know is my children didn't ask to have a chronically ill mother. I used to be "normal", and could work and maintain. I feel like I'm letting them down everyday by being sick and in bed, and not at work. I'm scared, but I can't cry. I have help with food and insurance, which the state is trying to take because i make over 360.00 a month in support. The state's maximum for a family of 4 is 360.00, which is rediclous. But, I cannot change that, I can only pray. Pray someone reads this, and can help me either with finding an agency who will help and has money available , financial assistance, or even a prayer. I see so many stories on here that make me cry, but I have a story too, so I took a chance and posted it. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

I am a mother of a disabled 13 month old baby girl. She has a very rare disease called methylmalonic acidemia, which has caused her to be hospitalized 16 times in her short life so far. Since I missed so much work during her hospital stays, I was terminated from my job of almost 2 years. I am due to be shut off on my utility bills and I need to get them payed before that happens. I can show examples of my work and any donations will help. I can also accept donations directly through my utility payment account online if it is more convenient. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks, and God Bless.
