Please Please Please help me to raise the funds to move to Prague. I am from a dead end city that has been cut off and doesn't receive any funding at all to regenerate, this was an issue even before any recession. I have thought about moving to my countries capital London but the costs are just ridiculous and i can not afford to. The cost of rent is really really overpriced, utilities and travel are also sh*t and overpriced. It is at least half the price to up sticks and move abroad to one of my favourite places Prague. The fairytale bohemian city, for all donations visit here http://nsffund.blogspot.com/
Donations will be gratefully received and Im sure you'll get good feeling warm hearted rush for your kindness.
As I have been there a small number of times and I know my way around pretty well already. Navigation around the city will be no problem. Hip hop culture seems to be popular and there is a fashionable urban dress code that I find very amusing, with many people dressed like some Newyork G. I am sure the price to see a footy match will be at least half the price, travel and utility services twenty time better. All I need is living costs, rent for a month and relocation costs (the cost of a one way flight ticket). Then it is all systems go. Thanks for your attention, EasyD

I’ve never asked for any kind of help before, and certainly not from people that I have never met! But my situation has become so desperate that I really do need help.
I have, for the last 15 years, struggled to make ends meet, following periods of ill-health, bad luck and catastrophic decision making. My circumstances are now very desperate indeed, and have even considered suicide.
In 1997 I suffered from a period of depression, that became so severe that I was forced to give up my job, and borrowed money to cover my mortgage and keep my house. Unfortunately the repayments on this ever increasing debt snowballed, and I found myself unable to meet my mortgage and household bills. I had ploughed my life savings into the home, and lost it all.
In 2006 I was approached by a friend, who was concerned for my financial circumstances, and suggested that we buy an old property, renovate it and sell it for a profit. I was desperate to make some money, and trusted my friend. I would refer you to full details of this in my Beg, as the project ended in complete failure having been ripped off by an unscrupulous builder. Work that should have taken 3 months took in excess of 9, and I ended up carrying out all the work myself. I regularly worked at the house from the early hours until well past midnight. The long hours left me exhausted, and in October 2008 I had a breakdown. I simply couldn’t carry on, and collapsed at work. My employer at the time was an unforgiving and vindictive man, and he said that I would be suspended if my work didn’t improve. I was afraid that I would lose my job, and under considerable psychological pressure from my employer I was forced to resign.
Following the failed business venture, which had plunged me into further debt, my breakdown and subsequent loss of my job, I simply couldn’t cope and pushed me into a long period of depression that became so severe that I planned to take my life. At the time I was so ill that I was unable to hold down a job, and this simply added to my woes - whilst out of work and undergoing intensive counselling I borrowed further. By the end of 2009 I was £15,000 ($23,250) in debt. I desperately want to rebuild my life now, but it is difficult to do so when I am saddled with a debt that is crippling me. Between 2009 and December 2010 my debt increased - there is no answer to it, and I will never ever me able to clear the £18,000 ($27,900) that I now owe. It is a debt that cripples me and prevents me from having a normal, happy life. I am 50 in February 2012, but have no future. I am tired of being worried, stressed, unable to sleep, and being depressed. Please, please help me start my life all over again. Please read my full story, and contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

I recently loss my job due to open heart surgery, i became very ill and could not maintain a steady full time job.
i have become dependant on the shelter systems in Phoenix and cannot get a job.
i would like to move back to my home town of Austin, Tx. can anyone please help me. :)

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 never done anything like in my life before,but let's try this.I am 26 years old male who is broke and have awful job.All I want in my life is to finish college (computer science) and to work as network and systems admin.I have no money for that.I do not suffer for big money , but with this pay I receive now I will not be able to make a small house of my own in a 30 years.I need to work whole my life to earn $150k.And that kind of money is enough to build me a small house,buy a car, start and finish college,and startup my own bussiness.I don't want to do that with 70 years.I'm looking for someone to give me a job in IT and pay me school at least...or donate 1 dollar.If 150k people donate 1 dollar each my life is everything I want it to be.What is 1 dollar?

After 6 years of marriage I now find myself alone and raising a kid while unemployed. I guess it would be a little easier for me if I was actually able to finish my last five classes so that I could actually have my Bachelor of Science Degree in Information Systems. Unfortunately I am not able to go back right now because I can’t afford it. I can’t even get a job working in the supermarket for some reason. I know that the economy is bad but what are we suppose to do? I have to take care of my kid with the little children support that I receive each month. $550 to be exact. I was getting unemployment... $43 a week but it ran out. My kid and I are renting a room from a guy which takes almost all of the child support. I have to pay an additional $50 per month so that my kid can get back and forth to school each day. We are sleeping on inflatable mattresses... Well, they use to inflate.. So now we are just sleeping on the floor. The house doesn’t have heat at all..so it’s cold in here all the time. I actually find it amazing because we are living in California.. I never thought it would get cold here. Again I don’t have any idea of what to do.. I went from living in my own home to living in someone else’s home sharing a bathroom with four strange people.. I went from working a full-time job making excellent money to waiting for my child support to be posted to my account so I can try to do some laundry so my kid could have clean clothes. I am still baffled as to how I ended up here? Of course my ex doesn’t help at all. Oh, by the way, he has his own apartment.. He also has the minivan.. My kid and I have to catch the bus or walk everywhere we need to go.. I can’t buy new clothes for him.. I can’t buy shoes for him either... I feel like such a failure.. It would be great if I could get a job, I would love that more than anything..
I am now in the process of trying to start my own online business.. Web Design with some computer programming, logo design, etc. Hopefully I can meet other unemployed women (or men) who are interesting in working together so that we can raise above our current situation. Of course this will be a challenge also due to lack of money and limited talent. Anyway, thank you for reading my story.. Of course this is the short version... I definitely didn’t want to bore you to death by writing something long and drawn out..
Any help would be appreciated.. I would also appreciate any advice that you may have. Again thank you..

I am a 55 year old woman who has ended up homeless.
I could list a barrage of excuses why I am but that makes no sense. I am going through Mental Health care and the systems have no funds for housing. I have found a shelter that can help me, but it is a 4 to 6 week wait for any transitional help. I know this is a long shot, but I am going to believe and have faith that someone will read this and pay it forward. Thanks and God Bless. And those of you that are in need, I pray that you receive what you need as well.

Hi, I am a disabled, single, unemployed mom. I depend on my parents to pay all of my bills and expenses at this time. I have enrolled in an online university to get my bachelor's degree in Business Information Systems. This is going to be the only way for me to gain my independance back. I need a computer to do this. If you could please find it in your heart to donate a computer to me or to send money, even if its just $1 it adds up, I can put toward a computer, I would be forever grateful. Please send to snstlvr@hotmail.com through Paypal or click the button below to go to Paypal. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea for help.

I need $4500.00 to replace the engine in my 1998 Ford Windstar. This is a crises for us. Can't afford a new car and would rather not add to the junk yards of America by junking it. Need it for my son and I to get back and forth to work and to get my Mother to doctor appointments. Without it, we will lose our jobs and our home as we will be unable to work as we live in a rural area and there are no public transportation systems. I am not lazy. Two years ago I walked back and forth to work, 12 miles each way-took me over 4 hours each way, when it broke down then, my legs are not what they were two years ago. I just can't do it this time. My son, does not work at all within walking distance. Thank you!

To Whom This May Concern,

I am a 51 year old man who has never asked for help from anyone before. I am only doing this because I love my family and as a last resort. My family has no idea I have posted this at this time.

My Situation:

I am married to a wonderful woman who has two children. (My step children). She does receive $117.00 a week in support. That is her only income as she is not working due to spinal injuries. She has already had a spine fusion and will have another operation soon as she still has spinal issues not dealt with yet.

My health is not optimal. I was diagnosed with Diabetes in 1989. I had a heart attack in 2000 and had a stent put into my left circumflex artery. In 2005 I had triple bypass heart surgery, Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes run in my family. I do not have health insurance right now and so I have not been able to see a doctor for my conditions in a couple of years now. I should be on two types of insulin, long-acting and short-acting. I should also be on medications for my heart, blood pressure and cholesterol. I can not afford these so I haven't even bothered to try and get scripts for them. I fear that this is beginning to catch up with me.

As I said my wife is not working right now. I am currently driving a cab and I am also trying to find a new job, but do to my health I have been working less and less. Also the economy & fuel prices have basically taken a big bite out of the cab industry. Very long hours for very little pay.

I also have two children of my own ages 21 and 20. I am very active in their lives and always have been. I still pay child support to their mother as I went into arrears due to the heart attack in 2000 and the triple bypass in 2005. I currently have a payment arrangement with the courts to pay this off over a period of time.

Here is my request. The bottom line is I do not make enough money to support my family(s) anymore. I am hoping that through this post two things could happen.

1. I am hoping that through this post enough people will see it in their hearts to help my family and I out through some donations.

2. I am hoping that maybe someone out there will read this and possibly have a job opportunity that will enable me to provide for my family in the way I would like to.

The following is a run down of my qualifications and work skills.

First I have a very high work ethic. I am very dependable and dedicated.

I am highly experienced in the customer service industry with experience successfully working under high call volumes, meeting and exceeding performance matrixes utilizing various tools, software and other techniques.

Over the years I have worked as a customer service representative, team leader, escalation representative and supervisor.

I have also worked in technical support of cable, internet and telephony.

I have also worked in the paratransit industry as a driver, scheduler, dispatcher and operations manager.

I have provided customer service in the following capacities:

• Setup of new customer accounts.
• Resolution and helping customers understand billing issues.
• New sales and upselling of services and products.
• Technical support for products and services.

I have worked with the following operating systems and software packages:

• DOS, Windows 3.x, 95, 98, ME, XP, NT, Vista and 7, MAC OS, Unix, Linux
• MS Office, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Frontpage and Outlook
• FileMaker Pro
• Aspect
• Avaya
• Siebel CRM
• ACSR
• Cable Data

I also have the following skills. HTML, CSS, PHP (Intermediate Abilities.)

In closing, whether or not you choose to help, thank you for taking the time to read this. Although, not a religious man by any means, I do believe in GOD and with that say to you, God Bless.

My name is Matt. A few years ago I started a non-profit organization to encourage students to pursue careers in science, math and technology. There's a tremendous shortage of engineers and scientists in the country. I thought this was a need I could help with. For awhile, I worked on it while also having a regular "day" job as a software programmer and website developer. Earlier this year, I realized the workload had become too much to have two full-time jobs, so I left my "day" job to focus on the non-profit. Of course, this isn't a good time for non-profit organizations or charities. In fact, donations and grants are almost zero at this point.

The organization is the Aerospace Research & Engineering Systems Institute, Inc., http://www.aresinstitute.org. If you visit the website and click on the "About" link, you can read more about it and there's also a link to the official IRS registration of our 501 c(3) tax-exempt status.

So, here's the situation...

Since the spring, I've put as much as I can into the company from my personal assets to keep it alive. I've sacrificed my car, luxuries like cable TV (ALL luxuries, in fact) and have even reduced my food budget to next-to-nothing. I'm actually relying on friends donations of food and household items otherwise I'd be down and out for sure.

I do NOT have any credit card debt; do NOT have student loans; have NOT lived beyond my means; and I have never bought luxury items or things not necessary to live. In short, I live within my means and sacrifice as much as I need to. I haven't been foolish by running up credit cards, buying a house or car that I can't afford or going to movies and vacations when I can't afford it. In other words, I know I'm doing the right thing and playing by the "rules" such as they are.

I'll also point out that I have been employed, full-time, since the 1990's. I still work every day, 12+ hours, and don't intend to change that.

So, no debt, full-time job, what's the problem? The problem is that I put so much into the non-profit that I am not exactly financially self-sufficient right now. Worse than that, more importantly, the non-profit (like many these days) is struggling to remain viable. There's just no money out there it seems.

Because of that, I'm turning to any resource I can find on the internet and off in order to ask the good people who are around for assistance. I'm not asking for any specific amount - $1 or $100, it's all helpful. It will help me personally as well as my company as it tries to make it through the recession as well.

If anyone out there can help, please use the PayPal Donate button on here. I can't offer anything in return except eternal gratitude, although I wish I could do more.

Thanks so much.

We are trying to save the world. Seriously. We want to start up an aquaponics business, and need $8500 to take advantage of a great deal on a little farmland. It comes out to 56 cents per square yard - less than cheap carpet! We grew our own starter seeds in our backyard garden, and I will send you a packet of mixed seeds in return for your donations toward the farm! Once we get our tilapia up to breeding age and have good demo systems available, we want to offer learn-ternships to anyone who wants to learn how to be self-sufficient.
If you can't help us, please help yourself. Learn about aquaponics and permaculture!

I have been working on collecting old games and systems for many years and I would like to start a video game Museum, but I need help, if anyone has any games, old systems (atari, nintendo, sega, ect) or old computers(commadores, apple II ect) you would like to donate or sell to me any and all help is appreciated. Also newer games and systems I will buy if I can afford it. Thank you very much.
