Struggles Tags

hello my name is john and new to this online begging thing i usually don't like to beg my wife just lost her job and currently living with my 1 son Joshua and we are struggling to pay a couple bills and would like to know if god put someone out there to help us in our struggles we looking to raise about $700 we can make up the rest just by ourselves I usually i would be fine with accepting donations via mail because i don't have a paypal and too old to work that crap go just mail 3001 quarrels road Brooklyn Center 'Mn` t!ank you and have a blessed day

I recently got divorced and my ex-wife took our car that was paid for to leave me with the car that I found out she hadn't made a payment in over a year on it. I thought we were a few months behind and when I ask for the bank payment slips with the bank phone number on it so I could call and arrange a weekly payment schedule to get caught up she didn't know where it was. She had actually thrown it away so I wouldn't find it. Its a small bank the wasn't even in our town so I couldn't drive up there to talk to them. I asked for the bank name so I could google it but she supposedly didn't know. Well about 2 months ago I was at work and the car got towed! I'm stuck without a car and can't work because I have no ride. She had planned to divorce me and then leave me stuck with a car that wasn't being paid for so it would be towed and leave me without means of transportation so I could work. She always paid the car payments and screwed me over so bad. It sucks. I always use to work 2 jobs and made the most money in our household. She had us move back to her home town in a house that her brother and his girlfriend lived with us so that when we got divorced I would be forced to move out. I'm staying with a friend but I pay rent and it's so hard to pay rent and save for a car when I can't make it to work most of the time cause he or his girlfriend are working and their jobs are far away. I would be so happy if someone could help me get back on my feet by getting enough money for a down payment for a car or even enough to buy a really old cheap car that can at least help me to get to and from work ok! Any amount of donations would be so very appreciated. I have linked my PayPal account to this plea for help! I beat cancer 2 years ago so I know if I could beat cancer I can overcome this obstickle with just a little help from some kind hearted generous people! I pray that someone will help me. I'm not looking for $20,000 for a brand new car I just need to raise $500-$1500 so I can use it for a down payment on a decent used car or just buy a running cheap car. I would need a few extra couple hundred dollars for my first insurance payment also. Once I get that I can go back to work full time and pay my payments on my own and also my rent. I my prayers are answer I will be truly blessed and once that happens I will start helping others in need on this site also. If someone helps me it would be only right once I'm back on my feet to help others who could use a helping hand. We all have ups and downs and struggles but sometimes we truly do need just a little help from someone else to get back up!

I truly pray that someone will help me in this rough time. I want to thank you ahead of time in helping me out. You truly are wonderful people all who help me by donating! God bless you. To everyone else that is strugglIng right now there is hope and there is light at the end of the tunnel!

God Bless!

Any donation amount will be truely appreciated!

I am a single mother of one 7yr old that is more than a gift!! I had to step down from college for a little while when I got pregnant to earn money. I cant afford it as long as im trying to save my home. I have went through health issues, lost my job, depression, struggles and a lot of spirit breaking situations, but surprisingly im still standing and fighting! This house was the only house that I have ever known as well as my son. I bought the house from my parents when they were going through a divorce that forced the hand of them selling the house so in an effort to save my best memories and something thats been in the family since '82 I took the responsibility. I've been trying to fight against the odds my whole life so in my last effort against defeat I've came here to try and save my home!! I have court on Thursday to find out how much time I have before they completely forclose, but if anybody and I mean anybody out there can help please!!!! Every dollar counts because I have no where to turn and I need approximately $10,000 to save my home!! I dont know how much fight I have left in me and im trying to keep strong in front of my son since we have nowhere to go or no help!! Pride aside thanks in advance for anything that u can give and I will humble myself dramatically to protect my son. I just found a new job and praying its not too late!!

To my teenagers,

1) Danger may find you, be stronger, faster, and smarter.
2) You will sometimes be afraid, but I will comfort you.
3) Home is where your heart is, no matter where, no matter the circumstances that seperate you.
4) I will always be where you are when you need me.
5) There may be days of quiet and the dancing subdued, but sometimes you see a rainbow on the rainiest days.
6) Sometimes the sun stays hidden behind the clouds, but its warmth is still felt down here on the ground.
7) Sometimes you have to fix it yourself, but I will stand beside your while you try.
8) Study hard anyway, even if your dreams are not what you wished for, the journey there is the just a small twist in the road.
9) Love with integrity and honor, even when it's difficult, even when it's not returned. Believe in love.
10) Forgive yourself when you ask others to forgive you. You are worth it.

I hope you will not see the struggles we face, the house we are in danger of losing, or the tears on my pillow late at night. I hope you never see my quiet desperation and uncertainty. I hope you never know that I’ve lost my job to budget cuts 5 times, just like I have now. I hope you cannot see the moments of hopelessness in my heart and how much I have aged in such a short time. I hope you remember how strong your Mama is and how I would do anything for you both. There is no SuperMom, just an ordinary Mom in extraordinary circumstances. And one last thing…..when you are given to, it is always with a promise that you will in some way give back.

Im a Human Being. It doesnt matter what my story of trying times of struggles, or dissapointments to why I'm here at this site asking for financial assistance. But its the story I tell of my perserverance to succeed and never giving up my goals in order to reach my dreams. I'am a single mother with a ten year old daughter that has special needs. I'm in desperate and precious need of just getting what i need financially to start out in order to fulfill and continue the upkeep of my responsibilities to my daughter as well as be an example to those that might need my assistance someday to PAY IT FORWARD.

I haven't been working for a while; my wife is working all the time, but she's sick, and even if she struggles trying to make payments we're behind; because of all this she's mad at me and our marriage may end up soon, leaving me and my dogs without a house. Thank you for your help.

Dear Reader,

Thank you for taking time to read this. I have a young mare that I am desperate to have brought to me by tranport. I moved away from California in pursuit of a better paying job and to get out of escort work. I will do just about anything to avoid having to go back to that, including asking strangers for sincerely needed help. I am running out of time as the place she is kept at requires that she leave by the middle of April. I live with no luxuries, including no car to keep her because she means so much to me. Lucy makes my economic struggles worthwhile and provides motivation and gives me something to be happy about.

I am a single younger mother of two who wanted to obtain an education to better myself and help provide a better life for my children. I'm hoping to obtain help to help payoff this huge school loan so we can move forward in our journey. I didn't have much growing up and didn't have the help or support for my college education. I don't want my children to face the same struggles that I have. Thank you and I will be forever grateful for your help!

Ok just to start I would like to say that I don't have a sibling with a cripling degenerate disease, or lost my parents in a freak skiing accident (both are living happily in France)and I am not trying to send a football team of disadvantaged kids to an unbelievably expensive disney themed resort.
All these are worthy of donations and if I were able to I would donate to them myself, however I am not and have instead found myself having to sign up to a web site basically begging for kind strangers to donate, even the smallest of change, to be able to turn my life back around.

I won't bore you with the details of my long struggles as im sure we have all been there at some point (long and drawn out 'woe-is-me' emails written on request) however, what i will say is that after throwing myself into the world of work at 16 I gained as much life experience and qualifications as I possibly could and worked my little toosh off all the way.
After educating myself as a Photographer and Lithographer throught the RAF (leaving to get married and have a child) I then went on to realise that living with an alcoholic was not so good 4 either my baby or I, so took the brave steps to leave.
I then put myself thought an apprentiship as a mechanic and loved it! However I found it very difficult to spend quality time with my child during the holidays so managed to get a job in a school, which was perfect, then when an abusive relationship led 2 my son and I becoming homeless I had to do what was best for my child and let him go to live with his reformed dad 200 miles away :(
I then went back to what I love, mechanics, as I tried to get my life back on track however work has dried up and just after xmas I was laid off so here I sit as a single 30 yr old with qualifications galore, unemployed!
Ok depressing prologue over and i will cut straight to it.
I am now trying to make a future that will make my life and my contact with my son (every third weekend and all holidays) easier, I am trying to re train as a mechanics teacher, however the hurdle I have come accross (I really should apply to the olympics with all this hurdle trainging I've had) is that the course is going to cost £6,000 and I will only get help towards half, now this is a little bit of an issue as I dont know anyone that could manage to find £3000 in change down the side of their sofa, so I am apllying to the masses, I am just asking for a whole lot of people to donate just a little bit so I could get sorted please.
I may not be the most in need and I may not have a heart wrenching story but I am honest and I am a nice person who is sick of those that dont have any morals always coming out on top, just for once I'd like the good person to win (more specifically me really lol) so if you could spare anything I would truly be so very grateful :) Thank you if you made it this far :) xx

I am a new mom of a wonderful 5 month old girl. Like many new parents all I want is to be sure my daughter grows up in a happy, healthy and loving family. I come from a very low income family who struggles to pay our bills every month and worries about our child financial well being. What I am looking for is a person who is well off enough to help me start my business of growing gourmet mushrooms.I have years of experience in gardening and have cultivated shiitake mushrooms for friends before and I know if I only had the money to do so I can be successful in supplying our community with gourmet mushrooms. I would like to be able to support my family and daughter without government assistance and save for her future. I have always had a strong desire and passion to help support local grown food. Coming from a culinary background I know the importance and impact that local sustainable food can have on a local economy. My plan is to start growing shiitake and oyster mushrooms to supply local restaurants and to sell at farmers markets.I already have the structure suitable for growing oyster mushrooms all I need is the money for a growers licence and supplies approximately 2000$. If you are interested in helping me get started in my endeavors or have any questions for me please feel free to send them to bessiedawning@yahoo.com. Thank you for your consideration.

I am a single father of 2 boys. I took custody of them when their mother was un-able to keep housing up. I am in desperate need of dentures. I do work a full time job, but with the everyday struggles of bills, gasoline prices, food, etc. I am un-able to put any funds back for my dental health. I have to wear temporary filling material between both of my front teeth, because they have fallen apart. I have eaten on one side of my mouth for 4 years now. I was also one of the many patients from an ALLCARE dental scam. I do hope ya'll can find it in your hearts to help out a dad that is doing everything he can for his kids. Thank you so much, and God Bless!

I've been off work since Oct 2011 and will return next weekend because of severe complications (infections and open wound) following a hysterectomy. I've finally healed, but because of how the pay periods fall I will not receive a whole paycheck until 3/16/12. This will only give me about half of my $800 rent for March.

I've exhausted all my family and friend resources. There is no rental assistance in my county any longer until the renter has a court-ordered eviction notice in hand. That usually takes 60 days. By then I will have worked enough to have caught up.

I have plenty of food, some food stamps and (fortunately) cheap public transportation.

I got this apartment through the kindness of my landlord - my credit is bad - and I know that she struggles to make ends meet too.

I don't know what I might be able to do for people here once I get back to work again, but I will be back, and do what I can.

About me: Single, never married, childless, recovering alcoholic (9 years), I work as a residential assistant in a group home (9 years).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello My Name is Mary and I currently care for my Mother who is diabetic, and a 17 year old sister who is a single mommy to her 3 month old baby girl. Unfortunately baby Natalie wasn't blessed with perfect health. We've made several trips to the emergency room since they've released her from the hospital, due to her breathing problems and fevers. I'm desperately asking you help with a small donation, For pampers, wipes, medication and clothing.

With the pride of being a aunt for the first time i feel so heartbroken to see this little precious baby girl stay up all night crying restlessly. She is so adorable but so tiny since she was born 2 months premature. My sister, was a diabetic during her pregnancy and had high blood pressure which is why Natalie is so vulnerable she could get sick really easy, the care for this infant is 24/7 and I'm proud of my sister for dedicating her life to her child. I just want to show her that she doesn't need to drop out of high school just because of life's struggles I tell her that Natalie came into her life to make her a stronger woman.

Although i do not know you I want to thank you just for hearing me weather your able to help me or not god bless you. And if you are able to make any amount of a donation we would forever be grateful. Thank You So Very Much!

well, IF they approve it, have to survive for 2 years of processing to find out if I even get it!


Hi, and thank you for reading my plea :)

Last year I was declared permanently disabled by my doctor. ( I was on short term disability before that at work but they cut me off at 4 months instead of the year my seniority had earned). This sudden cutoff started my financial downfall into a spin. My job didn't "fire" me or "let me go", they just kept me active (out for medical issues), until I was no longer able to qualify for unemployment. If I had quit, then I would not have received any medical benefits any longer! In the mean time, I started the Social Security process, (which also does not allow unemployment claims) well. it takes 2 years to even see a judge, but somehow I am supposed to survive with no income until then! Ahhh but you are not allowed to work because then the judge feels you shouldn't be filing....( I mean, I am willing to lick stamps or something!) but strangely enough - I would be allowed (if doctor permitted something) AFTER I am approved, up to a certain amount of money. Whacked, right? So, here I am. I am supposed to see the doctor at least once a month for court purposes, but they don't really say how you are supposed to be able to afford to see him, if you can't have any income! My family has been so awesome helping me the best they can, but my parents are in a fixed income and elderly...my sisters have full families and their own struggles. I am so frustrated, I am not used to feeling like I can't take care of myself! I am sure you realize what kind of financial things I need help with..basic living. I am allowed to have food stamps - so thank goodness for that. I need assistance please with things like electricity, water, garbage, doctor, medication and gas for my car occasionally to get to the Dr...I do not have TV (about 1 1/2 years now) as it is a luxury, my parents offered to pay for my internet connection, which I am extremely grateful for...this is how I am able to post to all of you. I feel so weird posting this, and yes it is a bit humiliating. But I cannot stand to see my family go down the tubes because of what happened to me! Please consider helping me in anyway that you can. I have always helped others my entire life and I promise i will continue to do so as I can, can't help it - it is in my bones! LOL

I am an artist who has written a one woman show. I made this work to engage the church--particularly the African American Church, in a dialogue about homophobia. The work details the struggles of my best friend and brother, a black gay man, for acceptance in the religious community.

I believe the time is right for this dialogue and seek donations to mount a production of the work in my city and other cities.

Any donation would be appreciated and would go to an important work.

Thank you in advance.

We desperately need your help!

I feel so bad for having to ask for the help from the kindness of strangers, yet I am at a point where I don’t know what else we can do.

Our lives have been so challenged with enduring so many things, and we always have struggled but survived, yet it gets harder every day...

I’m hoping to find some compassionate people who can help us, with our financial troubles.
It seems that we have been challenged with so many unfortunate/unforeseeable life changing experiences in the past 6 yrs., ...

Which our family has endured, through all of it by working hard, and with our caring, we always help everyone we can, (being care givers in our home for terminally ill family, taking care of a homeless family with small children, surviving the struggles of major health issues, unemployment, losing close family & friends that are now RIP, we have always helped everyone we can, with whatever we have)....... yet now financially, we have put ourselves in a place where we are now desperately needing someone else to help us, who really understands and cares.

As well, with 2 young teenage daughters who are trying to start their own lives; it is so heart breaking when you want to help them, and just don’t have the financial means to help them with what they need so they have a chance for a successful future.

My husband has now recently secured a full time job, and is working as hard as he can, yet it seems like we have just gotten to far behind to catch up; we at risk of losing our own home, my car was repossessed 2 years ago after losing my job, then the motor went in my husbands truck, so we have been left without a vehicle for a year now, our home is in need of repairs, we ran out of money for me to pay tuition for a college course that would get me back to work, as well there are other unpaid bills that have stacked up over the past few years too,........
...... it just seems that we are now going to loose everything that we have worked so hard for all these years.

We just need to find away to get back on our feet, and unfortunately we have no one else to turn to for help,

If any one can offer their help, it would be greatly appreciated.... no gift will be to small..

+ now if we don't come up with $1300.00 within the next 2 weeks, our home is going to be lost to back taxes.

Can someone please help us.....
