....AND ANY AMOUNT HELPS.

Straightforward request, no drama, no B.S. You see exactly for what your money will be used! What I need? Money for my car insurance and to bring my phone bill current (car & phone necessary for WORK).

PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT qualify for any free cell phone or reduced auto insurance programs @ present.

My mini story? Due to a string of financial reversals, I had to give up my home and most of my possessions. No need to say, "It's been rough." However, I've been lucky to land on someone's sofa temporarily.

I'll pay forward your kind contributions to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. Thank you! I do have much in my life for which I am
thankful.

In the past several months a lot of unexpected events have taken place in my life. I started a new business, my mom passed away, my car engine blew up, my grown son became ill and one of my small grandchildren came to live with me for needed reasons. I am a 55+ year old female that has worked very hard my whole life but I have exhausted all my means of getting things to work out. If I could just get past this hump someway, I feel I could get back on track. If someone could please help me out temporarily so I don't loose everything I will find away to give back to others again. Thank you

At this point, I have nothing at all. I have loans to pay back both to organizations and people. They amount to $3,500. It doesn't seem like much, but after losing my job and zeroing out two bank accounts, it's daunting. I've been seeking work online, since I have no money for gas, and I'm looking to move in with my grandmother who can help me by letting me use her guest room temporarily. I just need to get my debt paid off soon because in September I'm leaving the country to start a live-in nanny job. Please, anything will help. I like writing and designing tattoos, so I can do something like that for money if you like. I'm just looking to get my debt diffused before I leave.

I am in a terrible place.You guessed it a shelter.It is very unsafe here.I am not getting any rental assistance from this place or the Human Resources Administration at all.I have managed to come uo with one third of the money to \rent a room.The room will cost 150.00 weekly.I have no one to help.My family and I do not get along so I know I cannot count on their help.I do work but right now it has dried up temporarily.I am really telling you the truth here.I really am reaching out to you the public for help.I appreciate your generosity,Also every penny does help.I know your help will help me to exit this place which is worse than the street.Murders can and even happen in these homeless shelters.I forgot to mention that That I need to get out of this place in a week from today.I appreciate your generosity.Thank you all and God Bless all of you.

Hi:
I am trying to raise money for a small vacation for my kids who really need to get away and so i am selling a black mini fridge. Was used temporarily till i got a full size fridge and it is no longer needed. Great for man cave/game room or office break room. It is made by Black & Decker. Ebay sells this for much more and mine is just 3mos old. If interested call 413-686-6302 and leave a message with your name and number and i will contact you within 24hrs. (Sorry no text). I can also email pics. Must go by April 10th. Thanks

Hi, my name is Steven I decided to quit my job and pursue my music full-time. I have the opportunity to move from Cleveland to Chicago, possibly work with some more experienced artist, and learn more about the business. I do have plans on getting a job but everything seems to be moving really slow. So what asking for here is about $600 so I'm not a complete burden on the people who are kind enough to let stay with them temporarily.

Thank You for your consideration.

I am a 32 year old single mom who is desperate need of some financial assistance. I am actually two months behind on rent due to me loosing unemployment temporarily. I can not afford to be put out on the streets with my daughter who is disabled. She is 11 and has cerebral palsy. We have already had a rough start to to the year and this was just an added stress. Please can someone help me an little helps. We currently owe 3,000.00 in total including the court fees. Any little bit would help. I tried to get a loan and assistance from charities... It seems everyone is tapped dry... Please help...

Thank you,


A worried mom,

Michelle

It took me awhile to swallow my pride and post something like this.

Unfortunately, myself and my partner in have found ourselves a little short on paying the project expenses, which has halted production, temporarily.. I'm not asking for much. If you can spare $10, $15 or $20 that would be fantastic. Honestly, I'd rather have five people spare $20 than one person send us $100, so smaller numbers are better.

Every little bit brings us much closer to our goal and help us meet our self-imposed deadlines without upsetting the contributors who have already volunteered their original work.

I have been writing most of my life and anyone who has ever written fiction will tell you, there are more writers than markets. Adding a new market to the world would be doing a service to both aspiring authors and to people who enjoy short fictions. Also, We never plan to charge subscription fees (most online publications of this sort don't).

If you do choose to help us out, please send an email to hipsterfight@gmail.com, so we can keep you updated on the project if you wish. Also, if you give us permission, we'll include your name in a list of special thanks.

And finally, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to read this, even if you choose not to send any assistance our way.

I have never like to ask for money, but I can seem to figure out another way. I will start by telling you a little bit about what is going on. After my husband and I were married his health only allowed him to hold down a job for short periods of time. In 2004, he had to be off for 8 months with carpal tunnel surgery for both hands. Shortly after, he had to have a hernia surgery. In 2007, he had to have neck fusion. The doctors told him that he would be able to return to work in 2 months. The surgery didn't go right and he never recovered properly. It took two years before he evenually got his disablity. In 2009, he began having problems walking. In 2010, he was diagnosed with Gilleon Barre Syndrom. He was temporarily parilized. He spent several months in a wheel chair. He had almost recovered and had learned to walk again when in September 2011, he had a bad 4 wheeler wreck. It broke most of his ribs, both collar bones and both shoulder blades, fractured a bone in his neck, broke bones in his hand and punctured both lungs. He is doing okay now except for the pain that he has to live with. I work part time, because I have to help care for him also. We have over 20 different hospital bills that I have to make payments on each month. We are surviving thanks to God. But we live in a single wide 1976 modile trailer. It has holes all the way through the bottom in the corners of the bedrooms. The walls are rotten and the wiring is bad. There is a short in the outside porch light and one of the lights in the kitchen and the hall light. We have to get another place to live. There is no way we can do it with all of the hospital bills that we have. We are falling further behind every month. We each month. I don't want a huge home, just something that my son won't be ashamed to bring friends home to. Anything you could give would be greatly appreciated. It will take a long time to get as much as I need, but I will keep you posted. Thanks so much for any thing you can do.

Hello my name is Jess I have 3 Children one who is only 2months and was born premature and has health problems. My husband who is a good man got hurt at work and is temporarily disabled we have no credit or faimly to help us.We are about to lose everything please help. Thank you

I am a student who dreams of a really good education so that I can earn a degree that will allow me to serve and help others with it, but doesn't see a way of affording such a dream. 

I went to a local community college since it was cheaper and now have my AA degree. Now all I want is for a chance to further my education, but I am afraid it will cost way more money than I have or am able to earn.

I had to take off this fall semester to help earn some money, but this will do little help. I can't spare much of my money because of this so I can't afford a car and I have to live with my parents and burden them with my needs. Time is short for me to gain more money so that I can pay for college this spring semester.

I am the first of my dad's side of the family to have ever attended college and one of the few to have a high school diploma. I want to make my family proud by going farther than they did in education.

My parents are much older than normally parents are for a young adult such as me, so they need to save as much as they can for a soon coming retirement. With their advanced age also comes health problems.  My mom has type two diabetes and my dad has severe joint problems and arthritis. These joint issues have forced him to undergo within the last two years a pricy hip replacement surgery and a knee surgery just so he can walk without being in severe pain and so he can continue working. The knee surgery will only temporarily help his knee, and so soon he will need his entire knee replaced as well. With these medical expenses and retirement for both of them in about 5 to 10 years, there's little money left for them to send a daughter off to a university.

I am very ambitious in wanting to someday earn a graduate degree when it is possible, but right now I have to be focused on somehow finding a way to pay for a Bachelors degree. 

I refuse to give up my dream of going to a good university just yet, and have came here to beg anyone that reads this to please donate money to me so I can go to college. I was lucky enough to get into this university so please help me so that my dream of going there won't be shattered. I want to earn my degree that will allow me to work in the social service field so that I can help others someday.

I come begging now because I know I will have to beg later on down the road for even more money if I don't get help now to prevent me from taking out big student loans with their interest rates. I welcome any amount you wish to donate. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your donations. 

Hi, i have never really done anything like this before so here goes. I am 29 years old and have worked in the service industry most of my life as a cook. I have always said i was going to go back to school but i never really found the time since i have always worked 50+ hour weeks. For the last year work prospects have been dismal. You would think that service industry work is plentiful but i have been proven otherwise. Pretty much what brings me here now goes like this :
I had what i thought was a decent amount of money saved up after the restaurant i worked in closed its doors. When i had first started saving this it was originally intended to go into my college fund. After paying rent, car payment, phone bill, food, internet
along with some quality of life expenses i am down to my last 23 dollars. I have already either sold or am in the process of selling anything of value i have in my apartment (funny enough having a hard time doing that too only thing that sold quickly was my xbox 360 and my flat screen). Again, i don't know what to do. I keep doing the right thing. Looking for a job has become my job. I have tried to do everything i can to minimize my spending even down to eating one meal a day and walking to look for work (you would be surprised how after a while walking a few miles is preferable to paying 2.25 for a bus fare). As time is going by my clothing are starting to deteriorate and my shoes are worn on the outer heel of each to the point i can see my socks. I do have another pair of shoes but when you are looking for a job dress shoes i wore once at a wedding and damn near tattered jeans and super faded shirts doesn't sound like a good idea when you're trying to impress a potential employer.
I feel like i am just screwed now. Soon i wont be able to afford my cell phone payments (i need this to keep in touch for job prospects) and i am currently arranging to find somewhere to stay temporarily since i wont be able to afford my apartment anymore (makes me glad i had the forethought to pay a few months rent in advance while i still could). I don't have any family left and my 2 friends in the world and now ex girlfriend are having enough money problems of their own they couldn't help me if they wanted to. I am currently only eligible for foodshare and a reduced payment plan for my electricity. I have tried every state resource that is meant to help out people in my situation but aside from the foodshare and utilities assistance all i found was jaded city workers and disappointment.
Getting to the point i have nowhere else to turn for help aside from charity. I don't have money left and i am freaking out. I ran a laundry list of things that everybody needs and i cant afford simple things anymore like soap, shoes , toothpaste and clothing.
I am planning on getting what i need together and go to college since i don't want to be a cook for the rest of my life but i need some help. Anything that can be thrown towards my expenses so i can keep my head above water until i manage to find a job and pay for my high school transcripts to be translated so i can apply for financial aid and go to school (i am aware that college is not a solution to my situation but i can at least take that time to learn something new that i can apply to hopefully increasing my earning potential). I cant do this if i am homeless.
So please anything can help since its more than i make right now. I am scared and i honestly do not think i will fare well homeless in the streets. I don't want to end up homeless in the dead of winter.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
Anything from 25 cents to your prayers help.

Hi everyone. I am a 35 year-old single mother of a 14-month-old baby girl and she is the light of my life. When I found out I was pregnant my boyfriend left me and has been in hiding ever since. Child support has not happened yet, as they are STILL trying to verify his wages. They say he is collecting unemployment now.

I work, doing a couple of different freelance jobs, but lately work has been very slow. I couldn't pay rent October first and am being evicted. My landlord is being very strict, and trying to make an example out of me because they are trying to get a modification for the loan on the building to keep it out of foreclosure. My car is $260 away from being completely paid off and the collectors call every day.

I start a new, steady job on Nov. 1 but until I start getting paid I'm barely scraping by. I get $300 a month in food stamps temporarily but no cash aid because they say my $500 a month in unemployment benefits disqualifies me. How they figure that much is enough for a mother and child in Los Angeles is beyond me. I have no one to borrow money from, and no where to go when they force me to leave. All of my family is on the east coast and they are all broke too. I'm not even a month past due with my rent, and if I have the money by the time I go to court (whenever that is) the judge will probably let me pay it and keep the eviction off my record.

So I owe them $1495. If I could pay it, I would be able to put in my 30 days' notice and actually get my security deposit back after I leave.

Maybe you have this extra money to help someone in need, or maybe you have an apartment you could rent out to us when we do leave. I would feel very depressed and unsafe living in Section 8 housing.

I'm trying so hard. If you can help at all it would be an answer to my prayers. You can meet us and see that our situation is true if you would like also. And maybe I can pay you back and/or offer services like babysitting, tutoring, balloon twisting, face painting, etc. We can talk more on the phone.

Thank you for at least reading this and sending positive thoughts my way...

I am a 44-year-old mother of three and very proud grandmother. Unfortunately my daughter and grandson depend on me to keep a roof over their head since the dad is a "deadbeat". I recently lost my apartment and we are now living with an a friend temporarily. Most of my immediate relatives have passed away in the passed 4 years so I have no one to turn to.

I have always wanted to own a home but I have bad credit due to some poor decision making in my younger days. I am struggling to keep my "head above water". It's a never ending battle. If I could just get enough money for a down payment on a home that I could afford I would never be homeless again. I would like to buy a home and leave it to my children one day so that they always have a roof over their heads and do not have to experience the fear of being on the streets or dependent on someone else. After all, isn't owning a home the "American Dream". For me that's all it will ever be is a dream...please help make my dream come true.

Thank you

Hello. My name is Caleb. I'm 21 years old, have severe anxiety and depression, and my only income is SSI. On march 1st of this year (2011) I moved into my first apartment ever with 2 room-mates. As strange as it may sound, one of the room-mates was my own mother(Donna), the other was her abusive ex-girlfriend(Shaw). I signed as the head of household and shaw and my mom were put downa "Household members" on the lease.

Before all 3 of us had moved into this residence the 3 of us had made an agreement that all the expenses would be split into thirds, there was one exception to this agreement however. My mother was not making enough income at the time to fully cover her third, so her ex girlfriend, shaw agreed to pay my mom's third temporarily until my mom could get a job that would supply her with enough income to do so. There were no misunderstandings, all 3 of us had understood the agreement BEFORE moving in.

That first month that we moved in, I ended up splitting HALF the expenses with shaw. This means I paid for my third PLUS half of my mom's third. Shaw had done so also... This was not what had been agreed to however. In fact, I don't know why I ever even let it slip by me. I must have not been thinking straight just because I was stressed out and desperately just wanted to get into the apartment.

The next month (April) I pointed out the mistake to both shaw and my mother, and told them that while I'm willing to let the first time slip, I wasn't willing to pay more than my share again.

The reaction shaw had wasn't good. She started making threats that if I didn't continue to pay the way I did the first month, that she would just leave, and that she just didn't give a dam. Oddly enough, my mom seemed to agree with her, and said she would leave with shaw also. Because I REALLY REALLY didn't want to get into the struggle at the time.. I just went along with it and paid for half the expenses again.. Shaw had basically said to me "So whats it gonna be, Either pay half, or we leave and you deal with the apartment on your own. We don't need to stay here. We can find somewhere else"...She said it in a very rude, obnoxious, loud tone of voice.

Eventually...May came around, and on the morning of the first day of the month I immediately brought the issue up again to mom and shaw.. and again, the same threats were made...and ALSO again...I paid half the expenses out of pressure.

In the middle of may I had found out some information that I thought would have been beneficial to me. I had found out that shaw had an arrest warrant on her for assault and battery. The reason I found this beneficial, was because of the fact that I wasn't able to take neither shaw or my mom off the lease, so If I wanted to kick shaw out. I could simply make a phone call to the police and they would take her out of there...Just as a note that I should have mentioned earlier... Shaw has a huge history of drug abuse, and violence.. and she had abused my mother a lot during there time together. That was probably how the warrant resulted.

Anyways, back on topic... In the middle of the night on may 18th, I told my mother that I wanted to speak to her in private. We went out to her car, and I told my mother that I'm completely fine with her(my mom) staying, but if shaw did not do her part, and pay the extra third like she agreed to when she moved in, I was gonna have her(shaw) removed from the residence.

My mom immediately went into a panic... She rushed back into the house to tell shaw everything that I had just told her... I went back into the house also... Later that night, they packed up most of there things (They didn't have much there) and bolted off...never returning...leaving me with ALL the expenses.

Remember, I only get SSI for income. To be more specific, $704.00 per month. The rent was 730.00, let alone other bills such as electricity, gas, and my own personal bills such as my cellphone, etc. There was no way I could pay the rent.

So as time went on... all the eviction stuff happened. I got the 14 day notice to pay rent or quit, then the letter with their intention to take me to court, then the actual offical court letter with the court date on it. On the court document..only my name was listed as a tenant..as if my mother and shaw were not on the lease, even though they were. All the blame was put onto me by these selfish real estate property owners.

ONLY I was taken to court. And from there I was told that they would give me 14 days to find another place and then after that if I was not gone a sheriff would come to the residence to physically remove me and all my belongings...

I rushed to find a place to stay...it was very difficult and distressing, but fortunately one of my friends has been willing to let me stay with them...I had to pay somebody $40.00 just to help me move my stuff to a storage facility.....

As the current situation stands... I am homeless. Still trying very hard to get a place, but cannot find a place that I can afford with my income. There have been some studio apartments for around $500.00 per month, but most of them require first, second, and last months rent to move in...

This is not the first time in my life that my mom has betrayed me.. She had left me, my brother, and my dad when I was six years old too.. She was not a part of raising me for most of my life. Then I decided I want to disregard the past,and get to know her for the person she is now, and let her redeem herself. This is what she did with that opportunity.

It was stressful and agonizing to even type all this up...because there are so many details involved... and my mind is tired..I'm very stressed physically and mentally.

I really need help. My money is just being drained and leeched from me. And staying at my friend's house has been very uncomfortable. I cannot do it much longer

ANY AMOUNT that you can donate I will be HIGHLY grateful and appreciative of. Even if everybody would just donate 1 dollar! A dollar bill in huge numbers is a lot of money.

Please.. 50 cents, $1, $5 , $10, or $20....Whatever amount you want.... Just please help. Its all I ask....I'm very stressed...

Whatever you can give is appreciated...and helps me greatly...

Thank you all very much... and god bless whoever is reading this.

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.

We will be homeless August 31, 2011. There are 2 adults, including myself. We have a 12 year old special needs son which makes it difficult to get full time employment or any employment.

My husband has cancer and has a difficult time with every day living. And does not qualify for disability nor does our son qualify for Social Security. We don't qualify for TANF either only foodstamps.

We are flat broke, the last bit of our money, which was going to go for the rent and utilities was stolen.
If anyone could help us we would appreciate it. We both want to work but can't find work.

Please help us before we are out in the street. How do you tell a child who has Aspergers Syndrome he doesn't have a home any longer? It just breaks my heart this is our last few days here unless we get help with our rent and utilities.

We tried all the charities and churches, they are all out of funds right now.

Thank you and God Bless.

Update: we haven't gotten any donations or anything. We are packing up the car and leaving tomorrow. Our small family will be split up. I will go into a shelter and my son & husband will go to FL to stay temporarily with his mother. She only has room for 2 other people.

I added my paypal account hoping someone will take pity on us.

Thank you and God Bless.

Another sad update: my husband and son drove 600 miles to FL on Thursday and it was dreadful, the car was packed to the max. We have a small car it it was totally over loaded. What else was he to do? Our son has Aspergers, the only way he can survive a crisis such as this is is some sense of normalcy, meaning he needs his things, things that mean a lot to him even if they seem trivial to use they are not to him. So we loaded up the car with books, games, dvds, what have you.
Well, they get to my husband's mother's house in South FLA and instead of a loving welcome they get the worst from her. She is all over my husband and calling him all kinds of terrible things. She's down on her grandson, all over him. These 2 came 600 miles away and this is the welcome they got. Needless to say they are leaving FLA and returning to GA. Out of shear desperation. We will have to go into a shelter. We have no where to go. Noone has donated a dime to us. Just advice. Advice is nice but it doesn't pay the rent or utilities.

Does anyone even read these posts besides us who post them? I would love to hear from success stories that came from here. It would be a huge confidence boost. Rescent success stories within the last 6 months to a year.

My faith in God has increased within me, however my faith in humanity is failing.

We are no different than most of those also posting on here. Our needs are no more in demand. We all have a common bound, we are desperatly trying to keep our families together, through this crisis that seems to keep getting worse.

My cell phone is a pay-as-you-go, I only pay 25.00 a month for 300 mins, unlimited texting & net usage. 25.00 is an awesome deal if you have 25.00. I don't have it. So now I can't even talk with my husband to find out when he's coming to ATL (my service will be over September 7) or even post on here or check my paypal if some kind soul donated anything. We didn't really have it last month but we figured it was worth it, especially since we haven't had a pc for years. This is our only link to the internet - this and the library.
Some would say a cell phone is a luxury, not if you don't have a landline, we haven't had a landline in 2 years. Its become an absolute nessisity.

We don't smoke or drink, take illegal drugs or spend money on frivilous things. My clothes are beging to get shabby as are my shoes.

If anyone can donate a cell phone card of 25.00 it would be most welcome. I feel terrible asking but its my only link to my family in FL. Without it I have no phone. Forget the net I can live without it but not to be able to call my husband is terrible. its scary not having a phone.

My husband has a Safelink cell phone - a Welfare pay-as-you-go they only allow one per house hold. He gets a set amount of mins for free a month, you can chose to roll over your mins too on some of their plans. So mine is the only paid cell phone.

Thank you for reading and God Bless.

I am posting this ad for my family who means the world to me. I want so badly to good for them. We are being evicted from our home. and my husband is very ill. I am not saying much to him about these issues, because he has stress induced seizures. We dont have much time before the eviction goes through. We have been blessed with food to eat every day, and by the grace of God our utilities are on for the time being. My husband and i both lost our jobs in aerospace a little over a year ago, and have not been able to work full time since. My two grown sons live with us and do what they can to bring money in but its not enough to take care of all the bills. We have tried everything we can think of. But with little to no resources we are down to end of the rope. We dont have any transportation which makes it even harder. I have set up an online accredited health sciences class, and grant and student loan has paid for it. But with no security i've had to postpone it temporarily. We just need a temporary hand, I see a bright future for us. Anything would help right now, I am very willing to work, im 46 yo, intelligent and very determined. Any HONEST inquiry will be answered by me, honestly and greatfully.
Thank you and God bless you for reading

Hello. My husband and I have been evicted from my mother in law's house (long story) and we have nowhere to stay. We don't have jobs. We have 2 kids, one year old and two years old, and no car. Hubby just got a job, but he cannot start because he caught tonsilitis. We have absolutely no money to move into an apartment, and we're temporarily living in a hotel. Don't have money to upkeep the hotel for another week until hubby can start the new job. Can someone please help me out and donate something contributing to another week stay at this hotel until he can start working (235 a week)? I don't want my kids on the street. Thanks so much!

Lost my home last month. Landed on a friend's sofa temporarily. For that, I am immensely grateful to the Universe!

However, to seek, find and obtain work, I need to keep my (only) phone in service. I owe for May and June...July is coming up. If it gets turned off, I am in BAD trouble.

Additionally, I have other final utility bills to pay from the old place. Got to make good on these if I ever hope to get service anywhere ever again.

It's a mess. But it's a problem that can be solved quickly with help! And you can make a difference right away. Can you help in any way? Any amount is welcomed & appreciated. Once I'm back in business, bringing in money again, I shall repay your kindness forward to St. Jude's Medical Centre in Memphis, TN.

Thank you!

My life's journey has taken me through a series of unfortunate events over the recent past. My husband and I were on a missionary's path until that path of utter poverty finally became more than I personally could bare. It's not hard to keep faith when things are going your way but when the road gets really hard--and desperate even--one's deepest rooted foundation can be shaken to the core and sometimes even broken. Our road together ended with him going on to follow the calling without me. I still have faith but my spirit to blindly follow it has been lost.

Although I was able to make it back to my home state several states away and back to "safety" and to my family--to live with an elderly aunt, and have found work here, I have essentially become an unintended financial burden on her. I would really like to be able to find a way to stand on my own two feet again and to somehow find a way to repay my aunt for her kindness and generosity. However, my financial means are completely wiped out after everything that has happened.

What would it take to put me back on track so that I could start again fresh? To catch up on my currently delinquent bills would be a great start. But, to be honest, that would only help temporarily. Whereas, if I was able to gain enough cash to use as leverage toward building a sustainable income, I might be able to gain enough momentum to end my predicament permanently. In order to do this, my financial goal is $15,000. To many, this isn't a great deal of money, but to me it will make the difference of a lifetime.

Please consider helping me in reaching this goal. If you are not able to help me financially, I do understand and your prayers for me would be greatly appreciated too. However, if you can give even $1 to help me, you are a true angel of mercy. God bless you for taking the time to read my petition.

I have a small biz, work out of my home. Ran out of cash; 2 banks cut 3 generous credit lines to just above what I owed on them even after perfect payment records.

Fell behind in rent. After a long struggle to keep ahead, I lost my eviction case by default. I now have to be out no later than this Sunday, May 15!

GOOD NEWS! A place to stay temporarily. However, I have moveout, moving, storage and movein costs that I need QUICKLY.

Any amount will help, with thanks. This is a pay forward request as well. In the future, when things turn around, your contribution will go to either Kiva International or St. Jude Children's Medical Center. Thanks w/ gratitude and love.

Please help, my name is Kate and a few months ago I was raped. Since then, I have developed severe anorexia. I was forced to temporarily withdraw from school, since the illness has made me so weak that I can't even get out of bed some days without passing out. I am extremely driven and intelligent, and my dream is to become a doctor, a goal I KNOW I can achieve with your help. A few days ago I went to the ER, and the MD told me that if I do not go to an inpatient facility, I am going to die. My insurance will only cover part. Please, please, please, help me get help for my illness so that I can go on to achieve my dreams. God bless you.
