Hi-
I am hoping some of you will find it in the goodness of your hearts to help me through these difficult times-
I have never had to beg before in my life-Just happened upon some unfortunate circumstances that put me deeply in debt in order to save the roof over my family's heads-repairs done by an unscrupulous contractor that took the money, and never paid the workers or for the materials. I ended up paying all of this again to avoid a lien on the house. 3 months later I find out that he did such a poor job that I had to have the repairs torn out and redone at another additional cost-I pad for the repairs 3 times, just to get the house liveable for my wife and kids.
I feel like a fool, but I have to hope that there are some kind hearted people out there that will help me out.
I am going to pay this forward 110% as soon as I get back on my feet, as I feel that is only the right thing to do.

Thanks for listening-I hope you can assist me-Please?

In the late 1990's, my wife and I came separately from Peru to the United States. We met here, fell in love and married. We now have four beautiful children ages 12 through 3.

We have never been able to adjust our immigration status here. It was never a problem to find a job and feed our family. But now, I have lost my job and cannot find a new one. My wife cleans houses and we live on the little money she brings in. We live in fear because the police in our town are stopping everyone. We do not want our children to see us deported and the family torn apart.

We have worked hard all these years. We never took help from the government even when we could - no food stamps, no medicare. We paid all our bills. We even paid social security taxes but will never be able to retire with that money.

We want to return to Peru. We ask your help for the airfares, shipping our few personal belongings and setting up a home there. Now, I speak English so I can get a job in tourism there. We will keep our children in bilingual school so they don't lose their English. They will have the chance after college to come back, they are US citizens, but my wife and I don't want to return.

This is for real. We only ask for a little help to go home. Please help us in any way you can.

Que Dios les bendiga! May God bless you! Thanks.

I just lost my fiance last week to a freak accident. Than my boss of eight years told me four days was enough to grieve for a man I loved for my whole life and let me go she told me she knew I was just going to move anyway..I had no plans on moving my whole life and my sons life was just torn to pieces overnight. I am behind on everything but most important rent is due in a week and I really don't want to leave our little house I can't even take off his clothes yet. I spent every dime I had on getting him cremated and memorialized. Please any help or suggestions of where to go for help would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you from the bottom of my heart

I am getting married in March. I am one of those girls who have been dreaming of my wedding day for as long as I can remember, when I was little all my drawings were of these huge cinderella ballgowns. Sooo fastforward 20 years, one amazing disney world proposal later and about 200 dresses in 4 states later. I am panicking because I don't think I will ever find a dress, when finally I find one. Its beautiful and classy- the dress that will make grandparents cry. There's nothing I don't like about this dress- but I still don't get the feeling that it is THE dress. That night after ordering it and paying the deposite- I have a nervous breakdown. So we head to New Hampshire where I find THE dress- THE dress I have been searching for my whole entire life. It is amazing and has everything I've ever wanted. I loved it as soon as I saw it- but thought it was not going to look as good as the dress I already bought. I was wrong. Looks amazing- just as good as the first dress but I feel like cinderella. I can not stop thinking of this dress. They are two completely differant looks- both princess but one is Kate Middleton the other is Cinderella. I am having 2 weddings- one on a wednesday on the beach in FL, the other is a more formal traditional wedding in CT-more of a fieldy/gardeny affair. So the two dresses each fit one occasion perfectly. I can not choose between the two. My mother thinks buying two is rediculous and will not pay for more than one. I am completely torn and the only thing I can think of is to get both dresses, otherwise I will end up regretting my decision at one of the venues.
Unfortunatly I am a recession graduate- one of the many who upon graduation found myself less employable than a 15 year old, with a PILE of student loans to pay off. I work, but the $ I make now will not allow for an emergency $1500 dollar expense.

Please, please, pleeease help. I know it is a shallow request- but its the one time in my life where I can be selfish, shallow, and vain. I really truly appreciate any help and will pay it forward. Thank you!

It all started 5 years ago on June 17, 2006. . .a day I will remember for the rest of my life. It was the day before Fathers Day and we were driving with our 14 month old son to his grandmothers house when and SUV ran a stop sign slamming into us causing our vehicle to roll landing upside down. They say my fiance (my sons father) was partially ejected and killed instantly.

He didn't have life insurance, and since we were only engaged, there were no survivors benefits and so it was just me, my 14 month old, two dogs, and an old house built in 1927 and a laundry list of repairs that needed to be done.

After my fiance died, I think a part of me just shut down. There was so much to deal with. . .working full time, being a single parent with no support. All my family lives 6 hours away, and my fiances family never wanted anything to do with us and after the accident all communication stopped and I was alone.

So, I shut the doors to the upstairs of our two bedroom Cape Cod, and made my bed on the Living Room couch so that I could rock my son in his bouncy chair everytime he woke at night. . .on average 4 times a night.

I did the best I could over the years. During all this my Dad was a huge emotional support for me. We talked every day, he encouraged me to stay strong and I did the same for him (he was diagnosed with milodisplastic syndrome in 2005)his blood transfusions really took a toll on him and his physical weakness really depressed him. I know he worried about me alot because I would always call him for advise on how to fix things or ask him questions about car stuff. He was my rock and he died October 4, 2008 from complications with pneumonia. He was buried on his birthday October 8 when he would have been 56.

His death is still hard to handle. My rock my best friend and advisor was gone and now I realized I was truly alone. Not only did I not have anyone to help me with my son, or with the house or the car, but now I didn't have anyone I could really talk to that could just listen and be my guide.

All this happened so suddenly. My now 3 year old son and I stayed up North for a week after my Fathers death. There was a lot of planning and funeral arrangements to be made that during the midst of all this, 6 hours away in my little Cape Cod were the two dogs. . .Joe, a shepard and chow mix, and Rex, a shepard and Rotti mix left to their own devices. All I could do was pray that the damage wouldn't be too terrible.

I tried calling a neighbor to check on the dogs, but in our unexplained absence the dogs became extremely protective of the house and wouldn't let anyone it.

When we finally came home, there was definately a mess. I had to rip up all the carpet by myself the stench was horrible and the dust and dirt under the padding from 10 year old carpet caused more than one sinus infection. After a month I had all the carpet ripped up and have not been able to replace it.

After working and saving and with help from my Mom, in 2009 I was able to hire a Contractor that had been highly recommended to me by a friend of mine. He raved about how great they were and what a good job they did for him. We had a contract for about $19,000. This was to replace all the windows, replace the kitchen cabinets, new countertop, appliances, paint, everything the house needed after being neglected for over 10 years. So they came and painted and left. Six months later they came back with 5 of the 13 windows, installed the windows, but left the casements on the inside open and torn leaving exposed the Lead Paint and the original wood framing. Then in August 2009, they had the kitchen cabinets delivered to my house and they were stored outside on the porch. I called and called to find out when they would be put in, and no response. They stayed outside through the Fall and through the winter when we got three feet of snow and I called and begged and sent text messages and one day their phone number was disconnected. Then in June 2010 they called me!! They would come install the cabinets. So they came and tore out the stove and the kitchen sink and installed the cabinets and put a slab on granite down so I could have a work area and said they would be back with the stove and dishwasher and sink. They never came back. So I had kitchen cabinets and no stove, no sink, no dishwasher. Then in July, Rex, the Rotti Shepard mix got really sick. The vet said he was starting kidney failure. They kept him and did IV treatment and got his kidneys functioning and they said he need a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. I had no stove. I tried calling the contractors I yelled, I begged, I sent text messages and finally out of desparation I went and bought the cheapest stove I could just to be able to boil water for my dog.

The dog survived, but his survival was short lived. In October 2010 on the anniversary of my Fathers death, I had to put the dog to sleep. He was suffering from the samething my father had. He couldn't produce red blood cells anymore and would have to live off of blood transfusions. One of the hardest choices I've ever made.

Now here we are in 2011. Memorial Day I almost lost my now 6 year old son in a near drowning incident at a friends pool. Thank God the husband knew CPR and was able to revive him. He stayed overnight in ICU for monitoring but he is now a happy healthy 1st grader.

Me. . .I'm barely keeping it together. I can't afford to take care of my home. The carpet was never replaced and there is a horrible draft in the Winter and the Lead Paint is still exposed. The upstairs windows are leaking and there are water spots on the ceiling. There is a 4" crack in the basement foundation wall that goes all the way down the wall and across the basement floor to the other side of the house. I was told that the footing is slipping and that it was only a matter of time before the house caved. The gutters are falling off the house from age and the deck rails are falling off. I fear for our safety, but mostly, I'm afraid for my son. I want to give him a safe and healthy environment, but I need help.

Please, if there is anyone out there that can help us, I would be eternally grateful. In the meantime, I will keep praying and belive that everything happens for a reason.

I found this ad on ebay for an adorable home near me. I checked out that it really was a house, and for sale. Thinking I had done my due dillagence, I wire transferred the money. Then, I found out that it had to be torn down, as there was apparently extensive interior damage that wasn't listed on the ad. Ebay does NOT cover real estate transactions...so I found out that my 2nd safeguard wasn't real. I found a new house through a realtor, (I'm currently staying with my parents, I have a college degree but it's not helping in this economy)and I need the money I originally wire transferred for the payment. They stole $5,900. If anyone would be so kind as to help, I'd really appreciate it. And either way, BEWARE of real estate on ebay!
