Survivor Tags

I am a 65 year old veteran and a cancer survivor. I just need a little help with a car. We have one with 220,000 + miles on it and is ready to be retired. Anything will help.

God Bless

I was a successful woman who was economically independent my entire life. My daughter is an honors student. As a result of my bad judgement and trusting the wrong persin, I ended up financially ruined. I am trying to get back on my feet and support my daughter's efforts to have a better life. I should have been able to do this on my own as I did her whole life. I do not want her to have to pay for my mistakes. I am working 106 hours a week and commuting between two towns 36 miles apart with no sleep. I can sleep a few hours on Sunday and Tuesday and Thursday before I go to work 'round the clock. I am only writing this because I am worried that it is too much. I am 56 and a cancer survivor and my daughter has no other family members whom she can depend on for any kind of support. She does not know I am writing this. I just want to help her and give her the help she deserves. Any small amount would be appreciated. She has worked hard and has a 3.9 grade point average and is working her way through college. I really want to help her and I can't work any harder. She is studying to be a teacher and is a very hard worker. I want to be able to help her at this important time in her life and have nowhere else to turn.

I am a 65 year old Honorably Discharged Vietnam Era Veteran and recent bladder cancer survivor. We have one car between us (my partner is 60 who had to quit her job as a Certified Nursing Assistant due to health issues). We have a 1997 Olds with 209,000+ miles on it that is on its last leg. A running car or help with some money to purchase one would be a real blessing. I am on Social Security and actively looking for work. Once we have a running car I can look for work. Thank you for listening.

Hello,
Im a single mom of two wonderful children. A six year old son and a three year old daughter. I recently left their father last summer of 2011. I married him out of high school and eventually he became abusive physically and mentally. I left him with my kids and moved out of state.
Which brings me to my current financial crisis. I need money to keep a roof over our heads. I'm trying my hardest to keep us afloat, between the rent, utilities and paying lawyer fees and each payment is important.
If their are any kind hearted individuals that would help a newly single mom keep afloat it would forever be appreciated.

Hi
My husband, who is a Vietnam vet, passed away recently (October 8th, 2011) from Bone and Lung Cancer at home. First of all, he wanted to spend the rest of his life home with me and our pets (three Mini Dachshunds and two kitties). Also, the VA wouldn't be able to control his pain enough so that he could enjoy the remainder of his life so he went under Hospice care. They strive for quality of life and they were amazing.

The problem with that was that when you die at home, the VA covers nothing at all. Had he died in the VA they would've covered his funeral expenses. We didn't have life insurance. He had started a policy, but the bill for the first payment came in on Monday, the 10th. He died Saturday the 8th.

He died here at home and then was placed in the funeral home morgue until we could come up with enough of a down payment for his funeral (I believe it was $2000.00) I still owe something around $5,000. He stayed in that morgue for around three weeks before we could gather up that money. Not a good way to treat a vet at all.

I had left my job to take care of and be with him until he died, this is what he wanted. We didn't have insurance or any kind of state medical help. We lived on his disability check that he received monthly. There are no survivor benefits, VA or Social Security I've been told either. We had only been married a year. We have been together since 2002, but got married Sept. 21, 2010. We had our first anniversary a couple weeks before he died. As far as I know, SS people have told me we must have been married for ten years in order to get any kind of survivor benefits.

We had sold our boat, truck, and spent any money that we had toward our living expenses and to help with down-payment on funeral.

Now, I'm back to work but it is part time, I make $7.50 per hour (sometimes as little as 20 hours every two weeks). Telephone survey taker. I don't qualify for state help other than food stamps.

I've been looking for work since he died and not getting any responses at all. I am on the Michworks website numerous times a day, every day besides checking the local papers, and any other things I can think of.

Right now as I write this, I am due to lose our home (we rented this for the last nine years). My rent was due on the first. I have borrowed money, sold household items, and gotten help from the area charity places that I could. Every month has been a struggle and every month I think "okay, I've gotten the rent paid this month and I SHOULD have a new job by the next time the rent is due", but sadly it is not working that way. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm beginning to lose faith. I absolutely cannot get rid of our pets either. I promised I would never let anything happen to them and I wont. Besides, they are our little ones, our family that we had together. They are also what is keeping me going. I cannot imagine life without them and him too.

I am at the end of my rope now. I didn't want to resort to this and it really is a blow but I don't know what else to do anymore.

I hope that there is someone out there that will read this and be able to help me somehow.

Thank you so much.

Hello, my name is kimberly and i dont know where else to turn so i am posting on this website. I am a survivor of the joplin may 22nd tornado. I was working at walmart when we got a code black and we all went to the back of the store. We were all joking around not really thinking much about it. We never thought walmart would get hit. My brother called me and told me that there was a tornado in joplin and that it was big and not to panic. I still didnt think walmart could get taken down, we were in a busy populated area in the middle of the city. The power went off and i told my brother i had to get off the phone. It got pretty loud and sumone yelled that it was here. I looked up and seen the roof getting ripped off. Everyone then screamed and we got down on our knees and prayed. All i could do is pray to see my little boys again and my husband and the rest of my family. The winds were so fast and i was getting hit with all sorts of things and something was on my back and was very heavy and something hit me in the head. It got quiet and people thought it was over and i was yelling at everyone to stay down for a little while to ensure it was over. After about 5 minutes we got hit with the end of the tornado and was just holding on to whatever i could and telling everyone that i loved them, even if i didnt know them. We were very crammed together as some people were on top of each and there was zero moving room and we were getting heavily rained on and hailed on. I found a small hole to put my hand through so that hopefully someone would see it and help us out. After about 30 min sumone was able to help get me out and i started helping others get out as there were many injured and many children. I started ripping open blankets to give to people because we were all soaked, filthy and freezing. Once i finally got out of the store and to the parking lot, i was in shock. Everyones cars were on top of each other and crushed. And i looked around and everything was flattened for miles. I dont know how any of us survived because walmart was totaled where we were. I have dealt with alot of anxiety since then and am dreading spring this year. I would really like to raise money for a shelter to have peace of mind and to ensure my kids safety. I never want my familys safety. Going through this tornado has made me realize how important things are in life and to have fun with my family and to appreciate life. I am going back to school andd my car just broke down and we think its the cadillac converter which i cant afford. I also want to help my dad out. He is disabled and raising my 3 teenage brothers. He is hurting financially as well and i love to help him when i can. I have a new found look on life now and love my kids so much and im so happy i was able to go home to them. There were many people that didnt make it that day and that easily could have been me. There are many heros from that frightful day. I dont like asking for help but i didnt know where else to go. I appreciate the people that help out people like me. You are wonderful people and god bless. Anything at all would help me out at this time. Thank you for taking time to listen to my story and thank you for donating. You are amazing and cherish those you love because you never know what could happen. Thank you!

Dear all,
Thank you for showing your interest and reading my story.
The saying about foolish middle age women is not a myth. I’m one of them. My name is Pat.

To make a long story short; my partner I met when I was 41, succeeded in 2 years to gain total control over me, my life and everything I ever worked for. He did it so cleverly and smoothly that I didn’t even noticed when I had simply nothing, no one and nowhere to go.

When he had me in his hand, he turned from a gentle, clever, kind and loving man into a tyrant, abuser, dipsomaniac and sadist. When my paralysis and apathy got to big I obviously was no sport anymore. One day he took whatever suited him (mine, his or gained together) and left me with piles of unpaid bills, debts taken in my name I didn’t know of and far too high rent for one person to carry.

But I’m a fighter! I’m a survivor. I decided that I’m blessed to be alive and will honour it with doing my best or even more to straighten up my life.

I have been struggling night and day since he left and I have succeeded to secure my electricity, heating and water supply. At Christmas eve I was thanking in prayers that I could afford a little food. I welcomed New Year’s toasting with myself with a small soda (pure luxury…). I started to see the light in the tunnel, gaining back my self-esteem and seeing that everything will be solved.

Until this morning.

My landlord (a big company, impersonal and no one to talk to) have informed me that there is a 3 months’ rent debt he was obliged to pay but never did and also he took out a deposition of 3 months that entitles to live in the flat.

If I don’t pay it ASAP I’m out in the streets. And I will be. He has misused my credits so I’m marked in all the systems; no loans, no flats, no telephone, no credits, not even a Visa, nothing.

Please, help me. I have no one to turn to. No family and what friends would be left after all the dramas, his manipulations and deceits and my absence? I refuse to give up but honestly – I don’t know how long I will have the strength.

Anything will be of help. Anything since I have nothing. I beg you. And you know – see it as an investment; Can this be solved I can’t see anything that can’t, and then It will be my turn to pass the generosity and helpfulness to the next needing person. And I will! To do that though – I have to survive.

Thank you for reading my story. If you can’t help – do at least learn something from it. Don’t repeat my mistakes.
God bless you all!/Pat

Hello,
I'm a Struggling Author, my book was released in 2010 with no real hope for getting it to the market, deriving from my real life story of how I had to struggle from the pain and the shame of my father's way of showing me that he loved me, my life went in turmoil, with no purpose in living, I found myself running from place to place, after my husband no longer wanted me when he found out that my twisted mined daddy had taken my Innocent. Domestic violence, Rape and Incest is no joke, At a very young age of 13, I experienced all three crimes in ways no human should have to face. My father carried a 45 automatic hand gun threatening to kill me if I tell, when I beg him not to touch me, he would stand off a few feet from me and hit me in the head with Apples and Oranges. The migraines became so severe until I could not do anything but go to bed and keep my head tied tight with a scarf until the pain would ease. As I grew older, I became more reserved not wanting to be around too many people, I would sing in night clubs at night and play for churches on Sundays just to keep a roof over my head. I did not have any real friends, and some of them told me they would not have chosen me for a friend. When I would get a Job, most of the time I would get fired or quit because I could not stand any kind of authority, my father always interfered in anything that I made an attempt to do, he would come to the school and embarrass me in front of my class mate, telling me to get my ass in the car and let's go. I"m truly a survivor, sharing my story and listening to others sharing their story made me realize that there are many people out their hurting from the same things or maybe a difference kind of hurt. My Center will be a resource center where you can get healing from the inside and peace of mind knowing that you are somebody, we will mentor, counsel, do training with professional, Practitioners, self help tapes,good source of water for detox, we are a nonprofit org. with lots of love to give and a friendly environment. I would like to build my center with 1 1/2 ache of land included for 1/2 Million. Anyone out there that can help me to make this happen will be blessed. Buildings are just to high to rent, and grants along will not cover all of the cost to run this type of business. If I can build this center, I can use grant money, for fundraiser , marketing, Vendors, bake sales, I live now on Social Security Supplement. If you will open up your heart I will be most grateful. You can contact me through Paypal May God Bless!!

I cannot believe I am here, for years I ignored this, ignored the less fortunate... The big issue... Now I am here... Don't be like me.

I am the husband of a cervical cancer survivor, I've lost my job and all our savings have been spent keeping my wife alive. Sadly I'm also an immigrant and US Immigration service has refused to renew my work papers, I cannot work, I cannot even claim unemployment because my work papers are not current.

My wife is dying and I cannot even afford the medications she needs to ease her pain, everything is a mess. I do not care about myself, I never had but to see her in such pain and being so helpless is killing me.

We have a ray of hope, end of January I go before an Immigration Judicial review board and from there I might have a road back. Getting there is going to be the problem without us losing everything we have and becoming homeless.

Please help, every little bit even the smallest donation will goes towards my wife needs and not mine. Easing her burden, by having food in the house, to having a roof over her head is the most important thing in the world.

I have never begged for help but now I am do desperate, I eryl a single survivor with 7 children, we are going to be put out on the streets today in the winter if I can't come up with 2000 dollars. I recently lost my vehicle and I can't not live on the stree, I'mts with my children, I an even considering things that can land me in jail, thats how desperate I am, but god led me here and I am begging for help. If someone even had an extra home I will relocate, please someone, I'm praying for a miracle and in jesus name I have faith still that I will get the help I need today I'm praying, lord please dont let me and my kids get put out on the streets. Even a loan I can pay it back at tax time please!

I am a dv survivor with 7 kids, I need at least a couple thousand to keep my 3 bdrmhome that I am renting. If someone could help, god knows I need it, if you could help with money, a home, car anything, I will relocate if need be, I am praying in the name of jesus for help.

I have 7 children and recently lost my only source of income and now will be homeless at the end of the day, I am a survivor of domestic violence and would like to be able to provide a home for my children. I dont know what else to do, I am hopeless and trying not to give up, I am asking for help, I am praying for help, lord please, we have endured so much, I have lost it all, I can not lose my family again, even a loan until tax time I will pay it back.

I had 13yrs with the Major utility in NJ. Was laid-off. My Wife then left me because of it, and took our two girls (6&9yrs old). Then she couldn't cope any more, and took her own life. Now it's me and my Girls, and my Unemployment ran out. I get Foodstamps, and that's all they will give, because of Survivor Benefits from SS. What we get from it covers the rent, and that's it. It's actually a little short every month. I am afraid I will lose them, and I am all they have now. I have to leave the room when they ask me for money for a Bookfair at school and I don't have it, cause I will break down. I have to be strong for them, they have been thru enough already. It's just hard, and they deserve better. Any little thing will help, until I find a job. Any job, I don't care at this point. I just don't want to lose them. I have everything to prove what I have said (Death Certificate) I just don't know where to turn.

I am a 60 yr old female Stroke Survivor who needs help!! I am starting my own home business with a reputable wellness company. I know they are reputable because they have helped me get back to where I am. In the meantime, I've run up a tremendous amount of credit card debt....I don't want to declare bankruptcy although I could. I want to pay them off...I am paying what I can, but it is getting very serious and I am getting very depressed about it. If you could see yourself clear to helping me, I would be forever grateful, and when I am back on my feet I would like to help other people with a donation.

I am a 32 year old working mom of three beautiful children and I have the most wonderful husband anyone could ask for. We have the perfect mid-west life. We both work full time (and enjoy what we do), have a nice home, we're able to afford some luxuries in life although in moderation, that is enough for me. I enjoy cooking, and entertaining in my time off from work, and spending family time with my kids, parents, and neighbors. My children are Jordon (age 13), Logan (age 10), and Brianna (age 9). The kids are active in sports, and in our small community we are well known, and frequently can be seen volunteering at community events, church, and our local high school, of which we are both alumni. I live less than two miles from the home I grew up in. Sounds perfect if you ask me.

On February 18th, 2011 our son Logan (age 10) was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. He was not having many symptoms only occasional headaches. I was concerned that he may have been developing migraines and so I took him to see our family physician. His physical exam was normal including a rather thorough neurological exam. Dr. Arntz agreed with my initial thought and prescribed him some migraine medication. What a relief! He asked us to get a CT scan of Logan's head only as a precaution and he even stated that he didn't think there was any real concern, just a precaution. 5 days later, we were heading to the University of Michigan; Mott's childrens hospital because his precautionary CT scan had confirmed the worst for us. A 6 cm brain tumor in the posterior fossa of Logan's brain. Causing the cerebral spinal fluid to back up and create pressure in his head (hence the headaches).

Before leaving the house for the hospital we gave Logan a brief description of the problem, and explained to him that we didn't know what was going to happen next but we were going to the hospital to find out. You could see the worry on him but he was tough, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I guess I better call it something, I think I'll name it Steve." So off we went, notifying family on the way to the hospital, and completely sick to my stomach.

Three days later we would embark on the scariest days of my life. Logan was promptly scheduled for surgery the following Monday and we were told there was a high probability that the tumor was cancerous. Dr. Cormac Maher performed 14 hours of brain surgery on Logan on Monday February 21st, and confirmed our fears that Logan indeed had a cancerous brain tumor called medulloblastoma. Then more bad news the post operative MRI showed that they had been able to remove all of the tumor and Logan would need more surgery. The next day he underwent another 6 hours of brain surgery. We caught it early but based on where the tumor sat he may not be able to talk or walk normally for 3-6 months. Lucky for us he talks and walks very well all things considered. But there has been radiation therapy and chemo therapy will continue until February or March of next year. There is a 75-80% chance of survivability, I feel blessed with those odds.

Logan is doing very well but this situation has put an incredible financial burden on us. I am falling behind on bills and need help. Andy is working constantly and I even started a second job on the weekends to try to help supplement the lost income from prescriptions, gas to and from the hospital, and just having to take time off work for appointments and Logan's sick days... I don't know what else to do. The banks have tried thankfully to work with us but our circumstance is not going to change for quite awhile longer. Our family's do not have a lot of money, and have already tried to help so much that I think it may be putting a strain on them as well. The church sends gas cards occasionally but there is just not enough to keep us going for the next year.

Here' s the kicker, Logan started his own Relay for Life team. I had taken him to a local expo about 3 weeks after he had been discharged from the hospital because I thought it would be good exercise for him to walk around and there would be lot's to look at, and there was a booth for the American Cancer Society. He walked up to the lady at the booth and he said " How old do you have to be to have a team?" She signed him up on the spot. Logan Bailey's Super Survivors have raised $8300.00 for the American Cancer Society! He's only a little more than $1600.00 away from his goal of raising $10000.00 for the Relay for Life. We've held auctions, bake sales, and concerts. It's been a wonderful distraction for him and he is super excited about reaching that fund-raising goal. We have asked our friends to contribute to his goals in lieu of giving us personal financial assistance. It's more important to me that his endeavors to do more for others, are successful.

We cannot change Logan's circumstance. He will always be a brain cancer survivor, and I will forever be a medullo-mom. But, if we can make this even minutely easier for others having to face it after us then we will do it. Logan donated "Steve the brain tumor" to medical research and he volunteered to participate in a medical research trial for his treatments. We hope that the money raised for the American Cancer Society will make a difference in research and support for anyone suffering with a cancer diagnosis. We hope that the research will make the work of wonderful, selfless, people like Dr. Maher and his team easier and more successful. If I had been diagnosed with this same type of cancer at the age of ten it would have been a terminal diagnosis... the research is working!!

I need help, I need financial help for my family so that we can stop the worrying over finances and concentrate on bringing our entire family through this successfully looking at it in a positive light and remembering that we did it with hearts full of love and with others in mind. Logan is a truly remarkable child and I am so proud of him. I anxiously await your response Thank you for your consideration.

Logan Bailey's Biggest Fan!!

I am a mother of 3 boys. I was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago and am a survivor of it till now. I have been disabled awaiting full recovery so that I can go back to work but until now I am still temporarily disabled. My disability income ran out 4 months ago and I am almost out of reserve money. My youngest child of 9 has outgrown most of his clothes and I cant buy him new ones because I need to save for the rent. Any kind of help would be received appreciatively.

Hi! I cant really believe I'm doing this, but I guess everyone has a breaking point, but I believe the old saying "When you hit the bottom, the only way to go is up!" Lets hope for the best! I have been going down hill financially and emotionally since 2004, I was home alone w/a 6 month old baby girls and 7 months pregnant and I was awakened to a masked man and a stunn gun to my belly....will spare you the details on what happened from there, the only thing left to say is I am a rape survivor and me and my babies made it out alive. Now I am here asking anyone for help in any form. A little bit will go along way....thank you in advance for any donations. To ensure this is not a scam, you all can check out my story by going to America's Most Wanted site and click on KY and Ledbetter rape, look up Jose Garcia (he was the @@@@ that attacked me). Again thank you all, and if anyone happens to know where this guy is, please contact your local police....thank you!

im sorry to have to ask but im in the middle of a divorce, custody battle soon to come and to top it off i lost a leg 2 years ago to diabetes and i am a 1 year cancer survivor.
my wife is an alcholic and the reason she wants a divorce is because im disabled. she says she dont want the kids to see a loser daddy in a wheelchair. real men work and provide for their families. with the seperation i no longer can afford the payments on my pickup which had a wheelchair lift installed in the back. if my pickup was paid off i could live ok on my disability. would be tight but i could manage. i go to the mayo clinic in rochester mn about 100 miles away for doctoring, therfore the transportation is greatly needed. i owe about 15,000 on the pickup. the lift was installed by human services. can someone please help?
