Hi, I'm a 40 year old woman mother of two pre-adolescent boys, I am seeking your financial help to buy food because I can not work because of two serious illnesses that struck me: In 2004 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and personality in 2010 cancer of the breast. It is very hard to support my kids with my small pension.
Thanks to everyone who wants to help
God bless you, thank you all.

All the financial means that would've let my best friend/spirit sister be matron of honor at my wedding have fallen thru, in true Murphy's Law fashion. This is one of MANY snafus all draining joy from my wedding, the worst being my dad passing away. I'd forgo all the gifts on my registry if it meant my best friend could fly here for my wedding! (Please click the headline above for the full story. THANK YOU!)

I am a single fater of a two year old boy. I lost my wife in a car accident, she was struck by a drunk driver before christmas. I am currently laid off and do not qualify for any bennifits as of yet. our cupboards are getting bare and me and my boy need some help. Anything you can donate to us would be helpful, I will see that you get paid back ASAP. Please!

It all starts two years ago when I had a real estate business. I had known there was something wrong with me for years but 2 years ago I had only just been diagnosed with Endometriosis. The pain associated with it was excruciating and after all those years of pain it went on to develop into chronic pain syndrome.

I was lucky to have a partner to help support me through my illness, but with his own health issues the real estate business failed and I ended up deep in debt. In February this year I had to do a Non Asset Procedure, which is a less harsh form of bankruptcy.

Due to my bad health and Chronic pain I have been unable to work much in the last couple of years, but I decided to make good use of my time and have been studying towards my Bachelor of Communications in Media Studies and Journalism.

In September of last year my city that I lived in, Christchurch New Zealand was hit by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake. Luckily for us it struck in the middle of the night and was centred quite a way outside of the City so there was a lot less damage than people would expect from an earthquake of that size. However just when we were all getting back on our feet, on February 22nd this year the city was hit again. This time the quake was a 6.3 and was centred under the city, which meant unimaginable damage to our entire city and 188 people were dead.

I left the city that day because I couldnt deal with the emotional and mental toll it was taking on me. I had to leave my friends and family behind. Myself and my partner moved to the North Island to a place called Paraparaumu, it is a 9 hour drive and ferry ride from my family and home town. The move cost us a lot of money and we have struggled to survive up here as there are not many jobs.

On top of that myself and my partner are separating, which leaves me financially worse off, with no job and no car, and health needs.

I am such a proud person who doesnt like to take even a couple of dollars from people, but I am desperate and need some help. I need to buy a car so that I can still remain mobile. Healthwise I'm able to go back to working part time so need a car for transport for work.

Please if anyone can help or donate a few dollars here and there I would be eternally greatful. I am a great believer of paying it forward and intend to do just that when I am finally on my feet. I also do a lot of advocating for organisations like Greenpeace and Amnesty International. I may not be able to offer them financial help right now but I'm always willing to spread the word and message they need to spread and to do volunteer work for them. Thats how I pay it forward and I ask that you take the chance to pay it forward to someone like myself that is in need.

Whoever you are just know that whatever you send out you recieve three fold. The universe has a way of blessing you for your generosity.

Am 48 years old and in the process of dying - have end stage COPD plus a brain tumor. You want I will send you the nasty medical reports. I surive on a small federal disability pension - Social Security Disability NOT SSI. This month disaster has struck. There usually isnt a lot left over once I pay rent and utilities. This month thats not even possible. Someone I considered a friend came into my home and lifted 580 from me. Its his word against mine so going to the cops seems pointless. I have until Thursday to make up the rent/utilites which is 500. I don't have anyone to go to to borrow ffrom and if its not payed on Thursday me and my dog and cat (both rescues ) are gonna end up living in the park. Can you please help.

After leaving catering college at the age of just 20, I embarked on my career, but it was taken away along with my life just a few months later, ( im now 55 ) during college my dad died of cancer, it had been my turn to watch over him that night, I was just 15 years old, and I awoke to find that he had died during the night, his hand had locked on to mine whelst I had been a sleep, and I had to have it removed by my big sister, I cannot forget this it broke my heart,my dad was just 47 when he died, it affected me for the rest of my life.

It also profundley changed my mothers demeaner, it changed her, and I was last to leave the family home, and it was so hard.

To make matters worse only a few years ago my mother passed on, and I was away dealing with my own medical problem at the time and missed her passing on, I wanted to say goodbye, it haunts me to this day, that my parents left this world in such a manner.

I am in my late 50s now, back in the early 70s, I was a passenger in a friends car, he pulled out into the path of another car, onto a fast piece of road, and our car was hit at over 90 miles an hour. My seat belt broke with the impact, and I was thrown through the cars windscreen. I, landed on the tarmac and next the car I had been in was bulldozed over my body.

It bulldozed the other car on to my neck and chest, trapping me under it. My arms were pinned to my chest by the cars sill, and my neck was bent up against a cold granite wall, my right leg was wrapped around the back axle. I was ready to die, but held on to life with every passing breath, god must have been watching over me that night.

It took the fire crew an hour to cut me out, then it was off to the hospital, on arrival all my clothes were cut from my body, on examination it was found that my right leg was near on severed from the knee, and was hanging on by a thread of my skin.

In addition I had 4 broken ribs, severe cuts and bruises everywhere and a small spilt in my skull, this skull spilt was not significant at the time, but would go on to ruin my entire life. My mouth was full of broken windscreen glass and I was vomiting blood because of it. Back in the 70s there was no MRI scanner so I was just given an X ray of my head.

Because my leg was the main problem the little split in my skull was just left then as being nothing, but it would play a big part in my life. After being cleaned up and admitted to the ward, I settled back to a 12 week stay, and Around the 3 week mark of being in hospital, the surgeon said there was now no chance of me being able to walk again on my right leg.

I broke down in tears, cried a river and could not understand why me. During my stay in hospital my boss came in and told me he could no longer keep my position open for me. This was devastating for me, I had worked so hard at college to be a chef, and had climbed my way up the ranks to be a chef in charge.

And was now at the age of just 20 cooking in a world famous Hotel, and it was my life, I had left school only 5 years beofre the accident, and had studied at college to be a chef, now because of this crash my career was finished in one hit, my employer had spoken to the drs, who had said working in a kitchen enviroment would be to dangerous for me, so my career was over right there right then.

I now lay in the bed stunned and deeply hurt that because of this accident, I had now lost everything at the age of just twenty!. Then one day I noticed some feeling in my right legs big toe, I screamed for the nurse, and she brought along a Dr.
Over the coming weeks I fully regained the use of my right leg. Of course I thought everything was going to be alright, but from the day I left hospital some 35 years ago now to this day, I have suffered so much.

You see the knock on the head I had during the car crash, damaged the cerebellum part of my brain, a part called the cerebellum tonsil. The severe knock to my head caused the tonsil, to drop out of the cerebellum part of my brain a few mm. And for the last 35 years this part of my brain as been dropping slowley a few mm each year towards my brain stem.

The affect it as is to disturb the cerebral spinal fluid that goes around my brain. The tonsil dangles into a space where it should not be, disrupting the flow of csf, which in turns gives me a wide range of medical disorders.

I suffer with ringing sounds in both my ears every day, 7 days a week, I have headaches daily, coupled with dizziness sickness, and pain in spine and neck, some days i cant feel my legs or walk on them, some days my arms dont work, my balance is hopeless, I cant sleep for severe pain, I cry all the time in private because of the situation I have been in these last 35 years.

To look at me I look like any normal kinda guy but life as been so tough these last 35 years.
The brain surgeons that I have seen have told me that to operate as a 75% chance of death for me, so they prefer me to live with the disabilities until such a time when I become in risk of death, and then they will operate on me seeing theres no other option, this means I live with countless medical conditions all of which I have had to live with for 35 years.

These medical conditions have made my life a living hell, for 35 years ive been dizzy off balance, severe headaces, and forced to go to bed every night knowing that I could die at any given time.
I lay in bed with symptoms of my brain damage rushing all over my body, trying to think positive for 35 years, im now 55, and wish so very very much that I could have given my wife and children a proper home to live in, one we owned, in a nice area, and not to have had to rely on handouts from the goverment merely to excist.

I cry, ive cried oceans of tears in despair in private, while Ive tried to work a way out of this hell for my family and me,but of course my disabilies dont allow me to get a break, so just had to live it for 35 years, ive never stopped trying, but ive made my illness well worse, and just cant do it anymore.

I was a young man of just 20 years old, and my whole life and anyone who would be with me, had changed in the blink of an eye. We got no compensation back when I was 20, and I was a passenger!!! I got shafted by the insurance company, with no dad, and mum still grieving his death, I got ripped off by the othersides insurers. If I was able to just change one thing in my past, it would be to not except that lift in my friends car.

The worst thing about all of what happened to me is, that for the first 12 years after my accident none of the medical people we went to see knew what could be making me so very very ill, so it was hard to get any help at all, after 12 years of seeing hundreds of doctors, one of them finally!!! decided to allow me to have a full brain and spine MRI, but this same doctor had been writing in my medical records that I was a waste of time and that nothing would be found wrong with my brain.

He, had written in my medical notes that there would be no scan because it would be a waste of time, He then reluctently gave me a brain scan, and reported it has normal to my family doctor.
My wife then ordered up copies of my medical records from that doctors hospital, and we found that he had lied about my brain scan, the brain scan records stated that I had a very rare brain damage that would be caused by a trauma such as a car crash.

We can only think like our family doctor does, that the dr who had written my brain scan results to be normal, was trying to cover him self after years of writing in my medical record rubbish about me, and now seeing that I had a rare brain damage had tried to cover it up"!!!!.
I was so angry after the last 12 years of hell, and to now see that this showed that my brain had been damaged severely all those years before, and that I had been made to live in terror all those years that had just passed.

My family said we should get a solicitor to champion our case, and we did, but the one we chose was a bad one, who during our legal case was struck off for mishandling another bigger case, it was in all the newspapers, and when that solicitor was barred from practising, our case was left in such a state that no other solicitor would touch it.
We took my case to 3 other solicitors, all of which said that the 1st soliictor had ruined of chance of winning, and we were left to suffer.

All of these things have mede me so very very tired, plus heavy debt, all my medical symptoms to cope with, and tring to live on pennies, the goverment gives very small amounts to live on, it just about covers food rent and some of the other costs of life. My life, and others with me as been so hard since 20 years old, thes last 35 years feel like 200 years to my body and soul.

So many horrable things have happend to me, my whole life as been blighted from such a young age, ive tried, ive tried so hard, im tired now so very very tired,
As I write this, I find it hard to think, motavation is so hard, each day is full with pain, grief, despair, money truly is the only way we can feel a little better, but we cant get any, so its bills bills bills, we live, but we dont do any more than that.

Now its just me and my wife, who means everything to me, I want holidays and nice things in our home, but we live on pennies and are feeling the affects of what happened to myself 35 years ago. I want my wife to enjoy life the way we were ment too.

My wife helped me through every year and we have 3 wonderful children, these days its been tough trying to make a living owing to my disablement, in the early days of my children growing up, I tried with every part of my determination to make a good home for them, but we could only ever live in social housing, and it was so so hard growing up in some of the areas we had to live in.
As my health as gotten worse we took on debt to keep above water so to speak, benefits were no where enough to live on. my wife and I now owe £50,000 in loans and credit cards, all of which over the last 35 years as built up just to roof and feed our family, and pay ever increasingley high water electric and gas bills.

I have had my dignity taken at the age of just 20, 35 years ago, and have lived a hellish life of pain, and tearful memories of what I use to be. none of what happened to me was my doing, just a passenger in a car.
Any help that anyone out their can afford will help us to live a little bit better. Thanks in anticapation of anything you can afford to give, it will be used to make a better life for me and my wife thanks and good bless.

Hi,
5 years ago I was struck down, literally at work with a life threatening heart condition. It came on very suddenly. After 4 heart surgeries,various medications, I've been told this is life long and there will be no cure. I am unable to work as I black out randomly. My drivers license has been taken from me. I have been unable to find any work I can do from home that is flexible. My husband works in construction which has been inconsistent with todays economy. As a result of my lack of income over the years, we are severly in debt with credit cards,over $40,000.00.

I am currently down to 86lbs as the stress eats away at me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. We are trying to remain hopeful that things will get easier.I am willing to do work from home. Thank you for your time. Have a great day! :)

Sadly back in January of this year i was struck down with a very painful hip condition,Fortunatly i will recover from this but the consultants have said it will be between 6 to 12 months .Im currently on crutches so my mobility is not great and the problem is my poor wife is working herself into the ground just to put food on the table and a to keep a roof over our heads.What would be great if anybody out there could please donate an amount that they are happy to give to us,We also have an eleven year old boy who's birthday is on the 16th of April and it would be nice to give him a small gift that he likes although he does understand the situation.Because i don't feel that comfortable taking something for nothing i have also got a proposition if anybody out there is into art,At this moment in time i have one of my early pieces up for sale on ebay so you could purchase this it is selling at £4,900 and is under pastel drawings titled "The Monster Within".But any donation would be greatly appreciated by myself and my family just to ease the financial burden.
Yours Gratefully
Martin.

My fiance of 5 years and I are in the middle of planning our wedding. We have some stuff already bought, and my parents were going to pay for the whole thing but have been struck with hard times as my dad had to have a major surgery right away and can't work a lot (he's in construction). I'm not a bridezilla or anything, and I am trying to be very frugal with this, but I can't turn back now since the hall has been booked and the best man got time off from the Navy for that specific date. We have 4 months to try to make enough money for it, but of course some things need to be paid upfront. Anything helps and is much appreciated. Thank you.

As you are aware. The Earthquake that struck recently affected alot of people, including one of my very close friends, Masumi Nochi.

Her and her family, thank god, are fine. But her house is not. I have started a fund for her through my paypal account.

I will post the progress of this on my Facebook. And of course, I am sending this message to EVERYONE of my friends on Facebook. This money will go, through me, straight to Masumi Nochi in Iwaki, Japan, where I too lived for three years of my life. This is ONE way we can help her out. I will make sure she gets all the money that is put into the account. No admin fees, nothing like that.

Thank you so much.

I have a video that she and I did together in 2002 - here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4637486953292517187#

For you to see that I am a real person, and not a scammer, feel free to email me or check my youtube page http://www.youtube.com/ireshaimase

You can 'friend' me to recieve Facebook updates. Just look me up by my handle which is Fine I'll Join.

I'm in the midst of what I like to call a quarterlife crisis. I've been really down on my luck the past few years and I'm hoping that someone out there will open their heart to my story. Once upon a time, I was an all star college football player I was then struck by family tragedy. In December of 2007, my grandfather who was practically a second father to me throughout my life passed away from cancer, so I uprooted myself sacrificing the remainder of my sophomore year and my chance to play in the Nokia Sugar Bowl in order to take care of my surviving grandmother. After moving away from home, my younger brother got into an automobile accident and passed away three months later. Less than a year after that, my grandmother went. I eventually graduated college and began working for a company that eventually collapsed during the economic downturn. I now find myself under mountains of debt between hospital bills and student loans. The past three years have just been really rough and I'm hoping that someone out there hears my plea for help to allow me to unbury myself from the problems I've been dealt.

Benjamin Goodman, a 4 Year Old Boy With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Loses Mother and Sister in Auto Accident. Your Help is Needed.

Benjamin Goodman, a bright and friendly 4 year old boy is in desperate need of your help. At only 4 years old, Benjamin was recently diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

My name is Mandy and I need your help.

I've been living in the states for two years now, taking care of my late mother's children.

I was only meant to come help my mother out with the finances while she tended to her dying husband, their dying father, but shortly after he passed away she was struck down in an accident, leaving five half-sisters that I hardly know (due largely in part to living my own life in Australia with my father and brothers) with no one but me.

So I've stayed here trying to keep this household afloat, giving them some sense of normalcy since losing both their father and mother.

But I need to go home to see my father and brothers. It's been two years, and my father is in declining health. (He's never been terribly healthy to begin with.)

I work 50+ hours a week just to keep the household expenses in check, and the girls active with extra-curricular activities- so a plane ticket home with return is just not in the budget.

I miss my family and my home and have been granted leave from work for two weeks in early January 2011. But I need to fund a plane ticket and someone to watch the children.

Please- every little bit will help. A plane ticket from the east coast of the United States to Sydney, Australia is expensive- and I'll need to be able to compensate for household expenses in my absence as well as pay the person who ends up watching the children.

Help is desperately needed and greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to contact me if you cannot donate via paypal- or know of someway to help me finance this.

Hello I'm Letecia Dumao from the Philippines. Last year Sept.26, 2009 Hurricane Ondoy struck the philippines that caused me to loss almost everything that I worked for. Currently now I'm debt because of this. Please help me to pay off this debts, currently I've been thinking of doing bad things to myself for me to escape all of this debts, but the only thing that is keeping me going is the thought of living my sister alone in this world because she is the only family that I've got. Please help me to remove this thoughts in my mind and I promise to keep all of you in my prayers. Please...

Hello. My name is Richard Butler. I live in Knoxville, TN. I spent 6 years in the military including a deploymemnt to Iraq (2004-2005). After I returned home from Iraq, my wife left me and my mental health deteriorated. I began a downward spiral that cause a lot of problems with hospitaliztion for mental health issues and being out of work. It's hard enough to find a good job these days without having to explain that you were hospitalized for long gaps. I've managed thus far, kept some food in my stomach and whatnot. All the while my mortgage has been on the brink, my utilities are consistantly passed-due, and life is just a struggle to survive. But I have been doing it by the skinof my teeth.

And then... it got worse.

I provided my full name and location here. Go ahead and google me. There were 612 news articles about it last time I checked. I met an amazing woman and fell head over heels in love with her. Things started to look up. We combined household and expenses and resources and we became a team. I had my best friend in the world to come home to every night and a light at the end of the tunnel for getting to a survivable place as far as bills. I planned to make her my wife. Then on June 4th, with a ring in my pocket, minutes away from reaching the place I hoped to propose, she was struck by lightning. You can read the tribute to her which I maintain at bethanybutler.wordpress.com. I have not solicited money there because it is a place to honor her. But as it is now I have to do it somewhere. Our dog needs to go to the vet, I need flea medicine, I'm tired of ramen noodles, my utilities are 2 months late, my house is in danger of being forclosed on, and the new job I started has given me a total of 5 and a half hours next week. I NEED A HAND just to get to a stable point. I just want the chance to start at zero, but I don't see how to get there. I'm so tired of trying to play catch up. I feel like I am drowning. PLEASE... I hate asking this but I am in a lot of trouble here. Please... anything you can do to help would be so greatly appreciated. I don't even have an account anymore to set up paypal so I'm flying blind here. I don't even know how this is going to work. I guess you can email me at rabutler77@comcast.net. Thank you.

I have become stricken with several diseases from generations past and stress. I have been diagnosed with RA OA IB Lupus Reynaud’s, Gerd and have a bad back and was paralyzed for several years. I have been working up until a few years ago when tragedy struck and my son was in a bad accident, I was fired for staying home to care for him. Two years later I am in horrific pain and I cannot work I am fighting for disability, but they said It could be 2 to 3 years before I get it. We were homeless before due to my Cancer surgery, thank God I survived or my son would have been in a orphan home as we do not have family. I would have never come to this site if I did not desperately need help. I have always been the one helping others now I find I need help and no one is there for me. Not to mention I took in a family of 5, 3 toddlers and their parents who were on the verge of being homeless. So now I have been providing for them as well. We are now a family of seven.
Please find it in your heart to help us anyway you can.
God Bless, Psalm: 23
