Strapped Tags

I am the custodial parent of 3 children, a daughter that's 17, and 2 boys, 14 and 9. I have been divorced for 3yrs. now, tending to the everyday needs, for my children and their school activities. My ex-wife had turned diabetic, from giving birth to the children and had fallen into a severe case of post-pardon depression, due to the diabetic condition that had worsened as the children were born, which turned her to alcohol. As most of us know, alcohol and diabetes do not mix, at first I was unaware, of how severe this can be, but as time progressed, we could see the roller-coaster personality shine through. After hearing from others about the way some things were being handled by her, such as pinning them down on the ground, to brush their teeth, or ripping a brush through my daughters hair in the morning before school, I needed to do something about it. This was hard to see at first, since I was at work everyday on a 45-50hr. work week. One particular event, that has been a soar spot with my daughter, was a few days before Christmas, when she was helping decorate the tree and had started to put the tinsel on before the ornaments. Her mom, was into about her 2nd drink, which had brought her sugar-level up, started screaming at her about putting the ornaments on first, and just about ripped her arms off, tearing the tinsel out of her hands!!! Last year, was the first year, after spending many hours with her, that she was brave enough to help decorate the tree.

My oldest son, now 14, has had some very bad experiences, that had put so much stress on him that he started pulling his hair out, until he was completely bald on top of his head !!! The stress was caused by being constantly screamed at for things, that he was even doing. The last thing that really broke the camels back was, when he was trying to restrain his mother during a delirious diabetic overload of sugar, which had skyrocketed, to over 600. She began kicking him, until she kicked him right down the steps and he had to come back up and body slam her down on the floor, we all saw the UGLIER side of diabetes that night !!!!! The E.R. was called in and they strapped her down on a stretcher, deemed her delusional, then rushed her off to the hospital. Their mother decided after that happened, that it would be a good idea to leave the family and doesn't have much contact with her children. I've spent a lot of time with them, working through some of the traumatic episodes, that they encountered and have lost a lot of time for employment. Now that I have been unemployed for quite sometime and being a man in this position, getting assistance or help is almost impossible. I get the feeling that men with children are discriminated, there are no programs in place by the government for men with children. I am now up against all odds, the roof on our house needs to be shingled, every time it rains we see piles of gravel on the ground and my vehicle is on it's last leg. The utilities are always in shut off status and I'm now falling into foreclosure, due to being behind on the house payments for heavens sake, let alone the kids being sick from time to time, because of the old and deteriorating carpet in our house, so I'm being told by the doctors.

PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO GET THE
MONEY TO MAKE THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN ANY BETTER !!!

I honestly don't know how to say this. I mean, I know my situation is unusual, even bizarre.

Let's start simply. I'm a young real estate agent. I suck at it, so I work part time at two places in the mall. It's hard to keep it all under control, but I manage. I'd rather work six days a week than have a roommate. Really, though, I would get a roommate to ease up a little more money before I'd even consider begging, but fate has conspired against me. I now have two roommates who can't pay - my dwarf parents.

Yes, yes, I know. My father and my mother are little people. I'm a normie, though. My dad lost his job at Intel as a system administrator and so has accumulated a lot of debt. You could say he's up to his eye-balls, but that would be hardly sufficient. He wanted to postpone boarding in my house for as long as possible, but this is, it seems, how it has to be.

So, I'm majorly strapped for cash constantly, because I've become responsible for two other people. They need rides, and they need food, and it's costing me a lot on utilities. I've been dipping into my meager savings for the past two months. I've been doing nothing but work, and I just need a break. I want to sit down and drink a good cup of coffee with a girl, or read a book, you know? I don't want to just slowly keep dying, I want to live.

We all want to live, and so I'm asking you share just a little, just enough for a little extra strength of spirit against a cold, crazy world. Every cent is appreciated. =D

I have anxiety disorder, sometimes raging agoraphobia and also fell in 2007, causing two vertebrae to bulge and also did some nerve damage to my left arm. I suffer from severe back pain, hip and leg pain everyday and I drop things with my left had constantly! I tried and tried to push on, through the pain and depression I had but finally cracked and I was laid off in 2010 from my job for not being able to handle the pain or the pressure and stress and shortly thereafter met a guy who I will call Jake. Jake has panic disorder, agoraphobia and dependent personality disorder. His family had abandoned him, his friends had become fatigued with his panic attacks. He was in a bad situation being abused by someone who was taking advantage of his disabilities. My mother had over 20 years of suffering this type of illness and was in an abusive marriage, and I had had my own issues with anxiety and depression so I felt I had to help. I invited him to come live in my home. I told him I would do all I could to help. I arranged some free therapy. Introduced him to my friends and family. Gave him all the kindness and love I had in me.

I had hoped it would help. It has not. He is still depressed, still agoraphobic and the worst part for me, still has dependent personality disorder. Now for those who don’t know what this is, well it means I can’t leave the house without him and naturally he can’t leave the house without me. We have not been more than 50 feet from each other in the year he has been here. He can’t go and do anything like movies, bowling, shopping or anything like that so I can’t either, when I myself feel able to do any of those things that is. Don’t feel sorry for me though. I have fallen in love and this is a small sacrifice to make sure he is okay.

We both applied for disability five months ago but it is still working through the process. My unemployment ran out six weeks ago so we have no more income and to make matters worse my father who has early onset dementia with psychotic features had no where else to go so he is living with us now. This has all put serious strain on me. How to pay bills with no money? How do I help this man I love get better? How do I get my sick dad, who has no one else to help him get to appointments with doctors and therapist when I can’t leave the house myself? How do I get better?

I am in serious need of help. I need to be able to at least keep the house and keep the lights on. I don’ t know what to do. I am lost. There is no help for someone who tries to help others. I called the department of family and children services and asked if there was any government program or even charity they knew of that I could apply for help with and they acted like I was a crazy person. She was like, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what to do for you.”

I am out of savings and my bills are due. I have appealed to family and friends but they are all strapped themselves. I have sold my van, a computer and anything else I had around my house to survive but I am tapped out. Now I am here, depressed and hurting all the time, my friend is here, depressed and we both are having a lot of anxiety. My dad is here and has no where else to go and I am so scared. I have never been in a situation where I had not only my life but the lives of others in my hands and I can’t do anything.

I feel helpless, hopeless and sometimes think it’s not worth going on. I just need some help making my bills for now until disability comes through. Then some of my stress will be reduced. Some that is. But that is most pressing right now. Like I said, keeping the lights on and a phone and car going in case of emergencies.

On top of everything I feel so alone. I have to try and smile because I don’t want my friend or dad to worry. I won’t them to know I am gonna be here for them and not let them down. But I don’t know where to turn to get the help so that does not happen. I am afraid. I am scared. I am depressed and stressed. I need help.

Hi. I'm a newlywed, strapped for cash and with a 6 month old baby girl. Debts just catching up on me, and I'm too down to elaborate on my situation.

I'm behind by 3000 USD with absolutely no way of getting it paid since i only earn PhP 11000 (255 USD)

Please, help me. Your help with be greatly appreciated. God bless you.

Thank you for reading!

I'm a college student studying in biology and I'm heavily strapped for cash. I'm the oldest of six children so I can't ask my mom to help me, she has to be there for my younger siblings. My bank account is overdrawn and I don't have any food. I cant work because that would prohibit my school wor I just need a helping hand to help me get out of this pinch I'm in. Any donation will help GOD BLESS YOU!!

I had surgery on January 16th and it went bad, I stopped breathing, I woke up 3 days later on ventilator and strapped to the bed. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks. I am home now, and my husband can't work because he has to take care of me. My Short Term Disability from work is only 50% of my base pay and I am not getting my monthly bonuses. Frankly, it's nowhere near enough to pay my bills. We have pushed out all of our bills and gotten extensions but those are about to run out.

I am asking for whatever God leads you to donate. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this, but I have 2 children at home and I do not want to lose everything. Once I get back to work, we'll be fine.

My begging request is serious enough for me to google for help. I am hoping somebody out there will help us.

Our house is presently freezing and I am in dire need of temporary help to get some fuel to keep us warm as well as my precious lil dog. We ran out of fuel and because we have no money to pay the gas company in back fuel, we cannot get any propane. To add inujury to insult, we are also behind on our property and school taxes. We have a house in Michigan that we were renovating by the skin of our teeth so that we can sell it for money, but just yesterday, we received a certified letter with a tax foreclosure on it.The property taxes on that house is behind. We cannot afford to foreclose on this house as it is our ticket to some money to help us with this house. We owe the contractor money for the work he has presently completed. He is now threatened to put a mechanic lien on the house. As you can see, our dire situation needs help as soon as possible.

We got behind in all bills because we ran out of money. My significant other was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 with multiple surgeries and since then, we have been going downhill. Utilizing our savings, selling everything we can possibly see. We live month to month now from social security and disability checks. I have no place else to turn as my own family does not have any money to help me nor does my significant other. Every place we turn to for help with this issue is a dead end. His disability pays the mortgage. We are truly strapped right at the moment. Is there anything you can do to help us out on this very cold day and with our property taxes? I can pay back whatever money is loan because I have a law suit settlement pending for a car accident I was involved in which required my having surgery. I just don’t know where else to turn. Please help me? I am begging. (I can’t get a settlement load because I am on a contingency basis). Our credit scores are not the greatest and that prevents us from getting any type of a loan.

If there is any way underneath the sun someone can come forward and help us, it would be greatly appreciated OR please guide us to a source where we can obtain a loan with the way our credit now stands. I have a judgment (which just recently surfaced) and now I am starting to pay that off at $50.00 per month which is an additional bill I cannot afford.

We have proof of anything I mentioned above.This is not a scam email.

p.s. I have also reached out to the Warren Buffet family foundation for some help per an email I sent and response I received. We are not guaranteed that we will get the help since they receive thousands of letters for help every day.

My husband and I live on a small family farm with our 2 lovely girls. We not only run the farm, but we both work full-time outside the home. We have been through a lot in our 9 yrs of marriage. Here is a short version of what we have gone through since 2003. When we got married my husband found out he had cancer. He lost his job because of it and we had to move in with family for 6 months till we found a home. Later on, I lost my job and we had to move in with other family members till we found another home. We family were able to put a home on the family farm that we run and we have been there for 7 yrs now. An uncle was about to lose his home, so we helped him out. Now we are very financially strapped. It seems when things are going well, BAM! We get slapped down. With all our misfortunes we have cleared out our savings and paying off our credit cards (which are cut up) and medical bills. We have also put a hold on having anymore kids because we just can't afford it. We would love at least 1 more, but right now that is impossible. My husband really deserves the help because he works so hard for all that he has gone through. Last winter he was helping family and friends out so much that he got pneumonia and almost had to be hospitalized. We don't live a life of luxury and never really take vacations. All our money goes to bills and food. I have been collecting cans to help pay for groceries, I use coupons and all our change goes into a jar. I have also sold some of my Breyer horse collection and coin collection to pay some bills. I was going to donate my eggs for some money, but I am over 30 yrs old so I can't. We are not on any kind of assistance so everything we pay for comes out of our pocket. It breaks my heart to hear our girls talk about their friends going to these fun places like The Great Wolf Lodge and the beach for the weekend because I know we can't afford it. My husband gets after me because all the gift cards that I get for the holidays I save and buys presents for the girls on their birthdays. Sometimes it's the only way to get them things. Our debt is almost $10,000 and every month I do try to pay extra on at least one. I can hardly sleep because I am so worried about our finances and I have become depressed because of it. My goal is to get out of this debt, give the girls some great family memories and hopefully have 1 more child. This "beg" is mainly for my husband and child becuase they deserve the best! Donations of any kind would be appreciated. Thank you so much and God Bless.

To be honest, I never thought I would find myself coming here asking for help. I am usually the one who relatives and friends usually come to for help.

I am usually more than happy to help out anyone in need. My mother set a great example for us. She would always give up her last dollar to help someone else in need although we were poor.

Growing up I didn’t understand why she would do it but now being out on my own and struggling to make ends meet I now realize that everyone falls on hard times. That there is nothing wrong with asking for help if you really need it, and in turn it becomes your obligation to help someone else who is in need.


So here I am asking for help. I am in a situation where I have to move. The problem is that I am up against a deadline (January 2012) and although I have been able to come up with some cash(enough for one months rent). I still need a little assistance with coming up with at least an additional $700 to pay for the security deposit. I have asked everyone I know but because it is the holidays they are strapped for cash. I realize that it is the holidays and because of the economy everyone is struggling. However, anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

hi im 21 have a part time job and attend college as well as volunteer at a local at risk youth center.

being up to date with my rent bills and student loans leaves me strapped for money i could give up volunteering and pick up a second job but being that i was once in their position and not having anyone to help makes me realize it is more important.

i usually get around on the bus but with my schedule next semester i only have evening classes and the bus stops at 7. A man at the place where i volunteer was kind enough to give me a car.

Problem is i have a car that need to be repaired it was given to me but i need to change the head gasket and get the head machined i can do the work my self but need money for the parts and machining cost which in turn is about 400 dollars

being that i believe in karma and have actually donated on this site before i would give it a try

thank you all in advance and god bless

Hello .I am not going to beat around the bush . I am 55 a single dad . Financially I am strapped at the moment . I am so broke I had to use the free program on here .The 9 year old son and I have been living in this old run down home ,wasn't much be we called it home . well my daughter came home after a nasty break up with he cheating husband . Well the house was so old and drafty that it was impossible for me to heat the house . That wasn't so bad for us but my grand baby my daughters son 9 months old it was impossible to live in . So i took what little money i did have and rented a house that has a heater and running water . This took everything I had saved , now I'm so broke it hurts . Thing is i have no money to buy Christmas gifts for my 9 year old or grand baby . I would like to get my grandson a snowsuit and warm clothing for the winter because he has none and his cloths he has is beginning to get small on him and are summer cloths ,he is growing like a weed . Then I have my 9 year old son . Is is a bit physically slow due to asthma unable to play the same games physical other kids play I would like to get him some cheap computer or note book . Though his physical condition poor his mental capacity is great an all A student . I am very proud of him .

I am not use to begging and usually a proud hard working man , but my age and the way the economy is going I tend to be falling behind trying to make ends meat . Anything would be deeply appreciated and am willing to pay you back as I get it or even if you can send winter clothing for a 9 month old or even a ten month old or bigger and any kind of used electronic notebook or computer would be great and make me and my kids very happy in these hard times .

Would like to thank you all for reading and hope the best for all of you in life .

I recently graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Communication Design. Unfortunately, my career choice does not provide enough to live on and pay back my loans.

I currently have 30k in student loans; I am hoping to augment what I can pay with donations. I believe that getting a college education is important—I wish, however, that fewer graduates would not be strapped with huge student loans.

Thank you for any help!

In the past 10 months I have had to have an emergency appendectomy and two surgeries for a tonsillectomy. All three of these surgeries, on top of the numerous ER visits associated with them and the unfortunate need for an ambulance once, I have been strapped incredibly tight this year. I am a full-time student without insurance, and between school and the surgeries/recoveries, I haven't been able to work as much (I do work about 20 hours a week at school on top of 16 credits, but it barely pays for my food.) My cell phone has been off for a month, and at this point I really don't care, I don't need it. I do however need to be able to be able to pay rent, or else I'll be looking for a new place in the midst of all of this. Rent (+ utilities that are owed to landlord) equal $500 for me this month. I am hoping that I can find a job to help me with December (by January I should have more student loans available to get me back on my feet). Anything you can do to help me by Tuesday (I know this is short, but I really waited until this was my last option) would be fantastic. Every little bit will help since it will mean less having to sell off things such as text books I am still using, or any of my 3 electronics for 20% what I paid on them. Please if you can, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks again.

I moved here 2 years ago from a small town to start over after a failed marriage. Tried initially to keep the kids with me but couldn't pay daycare and refused to leave them alone. They went back with their dad, who is a good dad even if he wasn't a very good husband. Found a mediocre nursing school whose only appeal was the lack of a 2-year waiting list, and set out to achieve the dream I'd been trying to since 20 years ago, when my son was abducted and I dropped out of RN school in the emotional firestorm that ensued for my remaining son and I. I found him alive 2 weeks after graduating, living with his father up north. Now I graduated, working as a CNA, driving 40 miles each way for work, and barely surviving. My situation is this. I want to be reunited with my children, including my oldest who lives up in Colorado with my first grandchild, who I have never met. And I haven't seen him since 2009. I've got school bills, student loan bills, my phone (lifeline to find another job, which I'm trying so hard to do), and car insurance. That's serious business in Texas, folks-car insurance. Anyway it's only 47 a month but I still can't afford it this month. Phone, likewise. During the two weeks between my CNA pay (probably 5-600) and the next two weeks when I'm praying to god I'll pick up some overtime and maybe even get my graduate license going online, I've got not enough for gas and food after paying for the studio I'm in. Didn't want a year lease because my dream is to live near the people I love most in the world, and to finally see the sweet face of my son, who has been missing since he was 2 and a half years old. I'm strapped, sad, feel desperate and feel like crying all the time. Can't get public assistance because I've got a job and the kids don't live with me, even though I'm sending what I can, as I can, to their dad. Part of my survival issues-catch 22 that if you send money, you don't have it to pay to visit or have them visit. My heart feels like it's breaking all the time and I try to keep a smile for these sweet little old people I take care of at work..not easy. 4 or 500 would wrap it up, and you give me your email, I'll either give it back to you or to another person who needs it, and prove it with documentation. I think in 3 or 4 weeks things may be different, after the graduate license becomes active and I can schedule my exam and work as a graduate. Until then, God bless us all and I remain faithful and steadfast, if shaken..
Thanks for listening

I need help more than ever now. My landlord just gave me an eviction notice last night because I'm two months behind on the rent. I have a storage unit in Vista, CA with what little I own in there and I just got a call Sunday that everything in my unit is going to be auctioned off Oct. 15th if I don't get that rent up to date. I owe about $400 on that. Because of my breast cancer and other medical problems I applied for State Disability, which I've been turned down twice for. Last week I had a hearing in San Diego and lost. I guess I'm not disabled enough in their eyes. I'm looking for a job as a Bookkeeper or Administrative Asst. but the unemployment rate in CA if now over 12%. If there is anything you can do to help it would be greatly appreciated. God bless you.

I've been going through breast cancer for the last 15 months. Although I'm now cancer free, the aftermath, the pain, the numbness, humility of having only one breast is worse than when I was going through chemo. At least at that time I was getting some help from a cancer organization based out of Orange County, but they serve San Diego County also. I'm a 58 single woman with no husband, no kids and no one to take care of me but myself. Although I'm emotionally ready to work only part time right now, I was recently hired and working 15 hours a week…. Not much. It’s not enough to pay my rent, put gas in my old van, let alone go out to dinner or a movie with a friend. My resume is on craigslist and I have a great deal of administrative and bookkeeping experience. I have about $2 to my name, my rent is past due and I have no money for gas. My cell phone needs a "Straight Talk” phone card every 30 days I purchase at Wal-mart (which is $45). I'm not getting any help from any organization, I’ve been turned down three times for disability and I can’t apply anymore. I don't know where to turn. I drive a 16 year old van with a transmission that is failing and it cost $90 to fill the tank. I don't want to be homeless again. My rent is $700 a month and I have none of it. I’m now two months behind. The landlord has already given me an eviction notice and I like where I live. I was told God would take care of me. I pray a lot but I feel my prayers fall on deaf ears. I don't know who to turn to or how to ask for help so I’m just putting it out there. Can anyone help me please? I you know of any organizations or individual who are able to help without being strapped themselves, that would be greatly appreciated. Even if several churches helped me with $125 to $150 each (Paid to the landlord, not me, a gas card or Wal-Mart card) that would solve my immediate dilemma. Please feel free to call or email me. Thank you & GOD bless.

My husband left us. He closed the account so now my check will not be direct deposited and my Landlord said they will not wait. My rent is $725.00. I have a car payment that's $200.00 and the electricity $250.00 that was due on the 17th now late due to his insincerity. He took all the money and just left. I tried local places but they already ran out for the month. We just moved in the area so we don't have a local church. We, my 3 kids and I, only have food for 3 more days. My two older kids are looking for work but unfortunately that doesn't help out now only in the future. I even asked my family who live in California and they said they are strapped and can't help. I have been trying to do everything I can but that I am working extra overtime but again that's in the future, my Landlord won't take an IOU. Now I have the worst flu ever, probably due to the stress. I can't pay back now but in the future I will be able to in small increments so it doesn't make me continue in this same crisis. I have tried and tried to contact my husband but to no avail I think he was in missouri and now I think he's in arizona. I just can't believe he put us in the worst of messes. If I can get one months total of $1400 that includes money for food and gas. That would help me out so then I don't have to keep stressing and checking the mail box for a check almost every 5 minutes.

64 year old male needs your help. Financially strapped and behind on numerous bills. Having to rely on meager disability payments and food banks. I need at least $4000 to pay off all my debts and be able to get a 1-800 phone line up and running. The company pays for all advertising. IF I could get at least one line going, I would then be self-sufficient and could even possibly get off of disability. PLEASE help.

I'm a diabetic and lost my income, I looking for a job but it hard when you have limit out your medication. I know its play with my life but i can't get help from anyone right know everyone i know is financially strapped.the money is what i pay out pocket fro insulin and test strips a mouth. if you can give thanks and god bless .

Hello! Let me introduce myself. I am a professional actor, musician, director, producer, teacher, and model.... In addition to that I am recovering from two mental health diagnosis and am in a program specifically to help those with my condition rehabilitate from chronic homelesssness. I am blessed with affordable housing, medications, doctors, etc. but- Due to my doctors recommendatation of not holding a regular job- I am constantly strapped for covering even the most basic of my financial needs- food, toilet paper, etc. But, I can deal with that. What I have a hard time dealing with is the fact that I have so much more to offer this world- I have a vision for my life- I am not my illness. I want to open a live theater complex with resturants specifically to reach out to the starving artisits and at risk young adults and teach them how to take PRIDE in themselves- Persistence Responsibility Interest Dedication, and Enthusiasm. I know that there is someone out there who will take a risk, and believe in me. I know that there is someone who believes, like I do, that God has a specific purpose for me being here, and that it is time for that vision to happen. I would love help of any kind- money, car, food, you name it- I'm ready to quit struggeling and start building the dream that God has given me! I know every detail of what I need to do- down to the color of the carpet and who to have on staff... Now I just need to get out of this financial slump and start living the abundant life! Please help!

Ok, I know this sounds like everyone else, but here goes. We are a 1 income family, as when I was working it took everything I made to pay for daycare and gas to get to work, so we decided I would stay home with the children. I need help now really bad. The only person I had that I could turn to died about 3 years ago and we have just gotten really strapped. I have 7 front teeth that need fillings, hopefully before they need root canals. Everything we own that is worth anything is already at the pawn shop and we are struggling to pay the finance charges each month just to keep from losing everything. We have also taken a title loan out on our car at a horrendous interest rate (we borrowed $600, by the time we get it paid off we will have paid $1600 unless we can pay it off sooner).
What I am looking for is enough to get the pawn shop paid off, the title loan taken care of and getting my teeth fixed. Hopefully, with this done, we can get back on our feet again or at least not be so stressed out each month trying to juggle who gets paid.
Right now I can't even afford to get 2 used tires for the car and the ones we have are really slick.
Thanks for reading my story and hopefully someone will help.

Hi There,

I don’t have a real big sad story to say, I am a single father of
2 beautiful Kids and we just bought our first home. We have been
a little overwhelmed with all kinds of hidden repairs that added up to
a little bit more cash than predicted. So to make a long story short we are really strapped for cash. The monthly bills are coming real quick and starting to fall a little bit behind.
And to put the icing on the cake we just got our welcome tax! Another 1878.00 that we need to find. So a little or any help would be great!

Thanks

My family was forced from our home due to violence in our neighborhood. Someone shot up our house with all of us home. Luckily no one was hurt. I was strapped for cash at the time...and was forced to give up everything to escape the neighborhood. Now we have nothing but debt. The economy is crap and we are quickly being consumed by bills with no quality of life. To add insult to injury, my wife's job is losing funding, so she will most likely be laid off. If enough people out there could find it in their hearts to help another. The smallest donation times a lot of people can make a families life completely change. Please help me.

My family was forced from our home due to violence in our neighborhood. Someone shot up our house with all of us home. Luckily no one was hurt.

I am in desperate need of $80 to pay my child support. I have a court order that states I need to pay this or I WILL go to jail immediately. I have been paying it until this month but find myself financially strapped and I simply do not have the money. I have children in my home and if I go to jail I do not know what will happen to my children except that DSS will take them into custody and I do not know when I would get them back. I do not want to lose my family for $80. I have a paypal account and the money could be sent there. Perhaps there are several people who'll have a heart and send this money so that I will not lose my children and my freedom. I am a full time student and I am visually impaired. I do not qualify for disability and I do not qualify for a welfare check.
Please do not send me replies asking for my address or phone number. Also donot send email asking me to collect a western union or any other potential scams. I will only accept paypal as a source of obtaining the funds. All this said I am asking for help for myself and my family....PEASE
