Swallowing Tags

I am 22 year old recent college graduate struggling to find a job after graduation, thus I am struggling to pay all of my bills. I am now on the verge of homelessness. My parents are homeless as well and I come from an extremly poor family, so I have no safety net for moments like this. I have run out of savings and I have been searching for a job. I am now swallowing my pride because times are tough especially since I come from humble beginnings and I have no social connections. I have never been the type to ask for things but I don't want my pride to negatively affect my well being. I put myself through school and I am the first in my family to go to college, unlike other kids my age where their parents take care of everything for them, my father is dead and my mom is homeless as well. I really need help. I am out of options.

I have a son is very talented. He had been accepted to a great recording arts program but I'm afraid I'm gonna crush him when I tell him I can't afford it. I work 26 days a month but still live paycheck to paycheck even though we don't waste money. My ex-husband was an alcoholic so I left with 6 suitcases and never looked back. I had to start over with nothing but I have worked hard and never accepted any type of government assistance. It has been a hard 8 years but I am now swallowing my pride and begging that someone would help me get my son to college. He has never been in trouble and every teacher he has ever had has always says he is polite and works hard. We come from a small rural town and he would be the first in my entire family to attend a university. He even volunteers for several charity events every year. He is so deserving of this chance to live his dream so please help. Thank you for any consideration. Even small donations add up.

I'm the girl who would give anyone the shirt off my back. Unfortunately, this has left me standing here needing my shirt back.

I'm single. I don't have any children. No one to support but myself. I'm educated. I'm not an addict or a gambler. My parents gave me all the tools I needed to be a successful contributor to society. So I should be able to handle this, right?

The hard lesson I've learned is that you can't give what you don't have. And sometimes, it needs to be okay to say no. A dollar here and there to the Ronald McDonald House, March of Dimes, Easter Seals, etc. = a good way to give to several worthy causes. A hundred dollars here and there to a friend in need, to the church, to the poor or other worthy cause = still doable. A thousand dollars (x4) to the jerk who broke my heart = big, huge mistake.

There are millions who deserve your compassion more than I do and I would encourage you to help them first. If after that, you have a little left over and can relate to the jam I've gotten myself into, I would appreciate any support you can lend.

I am swallowing every ounce of pride that I have in doing this. And I'm fairly certain it won't amount to anything but I feel I have run out of options. I just need to get my head above water and move forward.

And, though I've learned my lesson, I will make a promise to pay it forward (WITHOUT getting myself into the same situation again).

Thank you for your time!

I am 38 years old, mother of 3, & currently trying to find a job, but this economy!! Not even McDonalds is calling me back! I have never asked for any help like this before, even having lived on the streets for a few months, but am swallowing my pride & asking for help now. My utilities are about to get shut off & my rent is coming up, but no money to pay any of my bills & if it wasn't for the foodbank I would have no food. I really do not want to live on the streets again, so PLEASE help me? I am desperate enough now to ask for help, as much as it kills my pride.

Hello,

I am currently in medical school. I have over 300,000 in debt, which I know i will pay back eventually. However, my current need right now is money for my interviews to get a job. Living in the northeast, while support my daughter has been taxing. My wife has been unemployed so i have had to borrow even more to support us. Now, ironically, i have to pay for medical insurance for my daughter out of pocket. I have reached to the end of what i want and can borrow. I just need help for a few months until i graduate.

I have worked my whole life and I'm so close to finishing. I am swallowing all my pride asking for help. I need it, though. If anything for my two year old daughter. Please help any way you can. The smallest amount is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

My name is Austin. I'm currently a PhD student in Political Theory. My research is primarily concerned with examining social movements and their relationships with State power. I am very involved in social, environmental, and political activism, and my research aims to be eminently practical as fuel for aiding further progress in this ever-expanding, globalized world.

Although I teach, tutor, edit student essays, and work part-time as a personal trainer my bills are still swallowing me whole (especially those pesky student loans!). If you are in a position to donate, I would be most appreciative, as any gratuity that I might receive will surely relieve some stress. Even if it's only a couple dollars, you will have my sincerest gratitude.

Feel free to contact me via email.

Thank You for Considering the Matter!

Austin

Hello,
I am a 23 year old pregnant college student. I am really just desperate. I recently found out I was pregnant and I am doing everything I can to give my child the best life possible. I do work full time on top of going to school, but I am just barely making ends meet.
I am trying to get into a bigger home so I have room for my child. I have tried to get state aid, but I because I am a hardworking person and I have a vehicle I make "too much money" to receive any of the assistance that I pay taxes for. I don't really have any family to ask for help from. The baby's father is in the picture, but his family won't help us because they are racist. I am mixed and he is white. They see our baby as an abomination and a sin against god.
I am basically swallowing my pride here. Any help that any one would be willing to give would be greatly appreciated. In any case thank you for reading this and may the universe bless you.

So I just putting my karma out there and swallowing my pride. That I would use a site like this would never have occured to me a year ago, yet here I am. I was diagnosed with psuedotumor cerebri and fibormyalgia and sometimes the sentence seems worse than death, except for my kids and husband. He works as hard as he can at a non profit group that I used to work for before my doctor disabled me. I am still waiting for Social Security to decide if I "deserve" th money I paid into that system for 24 years. Anyway, my kids give up so much for me. My daughter checks in the mornng to make sure I have taken my medicine and its just sad. Here is what I need, I will just tell it like it is. My daughter is a 4.0 student who excels at everything. Last year she was invited to attend a National Young Scholar Program in Washington DC and the leadership and things she learned were amazing. This is the ONE thing I don't want her to have to give up for me. This is not a summer camp but a class room setting. I can supply the website for the school. The tuition is 2000 for the school. I also would need maybe 2000 for travel and lodging. I can't be six hours away from her if she should need me or something were to happen to her. That is what I need and I am putting it out to the universe to help me. I feel like before I got sick I would help anyone who needed it and it was in my power. I have to believe that will come back to me. I can be reached at sendthegirls@yahoo.com if you think you can help. Even if many people helped a little, it should add up to achieve my goal. Thank you for any help you can provide and if I ever get my Social Security I will try to pass it forward. Thanks again.

Hi, I'm a college student paying for myself because my family can't afford it. I used to have a part time job at a small coffee shop near my school but it closed down thus I'm jobless. My tuition has been piling up since last school year and my principal has been only nice to me and that if I don't pay the $500 before April, she's going to have to reconsider my enrolment next year. With the job I lost, I was also helping my family pay for groceries, rent, and other bills but now that I don't have it anymore, my family and i have been at a loss about what we're going to do. My parents told me that I should focus on paying my tuition fee. I've been going to laundry rooms trying to look for pennies, i've emptied all my piggy banks, i've asked help from relatives but got no response. I'm swallowing my pride by asking but a little dollar would do, I promise you good karma will come your way I'm just begging. i can't afford to let go of my education because I know that it's education that will eventually save me from this hole so whoever has a golden heart out there if you could send me a dollar or two i would appreciate it very much.

I'm past disillusioned. Friends and family always say "It will get better." I'm so sick of hearing that. After sending out easily THOUSANDS of resumes and only having a handful of interviews (that I'm fairly certain I rocked), I have nothing to show for my life. Unable to pay rent or bills, parents no longer able to help. All I do with my life is work odd jobs and apply for work. It's so disheartening. Networking and nepotism seems to be the only way to get a job these days, even if you excelled at a great school like I did.

I hate that it's come to begging for money. I just. Want. To. Work. I'm in LA and am looking to find work somewhere on the business side of the entertainment industry. My BS is in Econ w/ a focus in Entertainment. My background is in PR, Social Media, and as an Admin/Exec Assistant. (Resume available if you need it.) If any of you know anyone that needs an employee, I'll forever be in your debt. Seriously. I'll send you a birthday card for the rest of your life.

Thanks for reading this. I hate to have to come here and ask but I just have nowhere else to turn. It took some pride swallowing, but at this point, I don't have much pride left so it wasn't difficult.
Anything you can give is appreciated
