My wife and I have 3 children with another on the way. A few years ago I was a successful insurance and annuity agent, but the downturns in the economy forced me to get out of that line of work. I am working 3 jobs, putting in as many hours as I can, but with some recent medical bills we have gotten behind. Currently, we are totally broke, and our cabinets are getting pretty empty. We are a month behind on water and electric bills, our phone bill, and our student loans, and it is another week before I can expect any paycheck so I can get to the grocery store and catch up on a few bills. We don't have health insurance, and my work doesn't offer any group plan, so we have had to go on Medicaid for the kids and my wife's pregnancy. We have always been hesitant to seek out government assistance, but last month we found ourselves with no food to eat and behind on all our bills. We applied for SNAP (food stamps), but were told that we make $150 per year too much because of all the jobs I am working. I'm exhausted, but I would work more if I had any hours left in the days to get extra work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im searching for anyone who can help my disabled brother Doug Ramos who has been homeless for a year now. He's sold about everything he owned except for his van that he lives in, so he has nothing else to work with to get money to help himself. Im very saddened & stressed out over his situation & I can only do so much because I dont have any income, since Im disabled myself & am waiting on an approval for my SSI & Disability case. So I just came across this website & posted this to hopefully get him some help with money or shelter. My family has done all we can and unfortunetely my dad is still having to work 7 days a week because he cant afford to retire and he doesnt even have enough $ to pay all his bills, so he cant help Doug except for paying for his cell phone & my mom is totally crazy & Doug just finally broke all ties with her which is a blessing. If & when I get my SSI & Disability then I can help my brother more but in the mean time he needs all the help he can get. He bounced out of the back of a moving truck going 85 mph and he received a settlement, since he was badly injured mentally & physically. However, sadly it was stolen from him. He has been struggling to survive and is waiting to get disability as well. He's now staying in his van in Manteca, Calif, so if anyone nearby can help him with a place to stay or feed him that would be awesome & we would appreciate it immensely!!! Doug is a very decent & honest Christian man who has never been on drugs & doesnt even drink alcohol, which Im very proud of!!! If you can help him with donations or a place to stay call me (Tammy Ramos) at (209)481-4792 I live near where he's staying & so it wont be a problem taking any donations to him.I dont have a pay pal acct. but will set one up if necessary.I will also accept donations by mail with checks made out to Doug Ramos so call me & I will give you my address. Thank you & May God Bless You All!!!!!!!!!

Hello to all. I am writing to request assistance with $100,000 to help me move from an undesirable so-called assisted living group home facility where my overall health is slowly deteriorating. I have no furniture or appliances of my own whatsoever. I prefer a one-bedroom one with all of the basic utilities. This money will help me to pay for moving expenses, the purchase of furniture and cover all my living expenses. I also need to pay for as an out-of-pocket expense true natural alternative holistic healing and maintaining health care, which is not covered by any current traditional government funded health care plan program. This health care is REALLY what I truly need in order for me to get on my way to stop any further health deterioration and even to start reversing what health deterioration that has already occurred.
Unfortunately, the free government health care plan that I'm now under won't help me get maximum optimal vibrant health. At the present time my only source of income is SSI of Social Security, which currently is only $698. Even at the current $698 a month figure I still can't afford to pay for any kind of phone service of my own, mainly because of the too little amount of left over personal spending allowance money that I get each month, which is now would only be $10.
If I continue to live in that undesirable group home, my overall health condition would further deteriorate to eventually where I would be rendered totally unable to do ANYTHING by myself. Whereas I wouldn't be able on my own to prevent it if I don't move out of it into a place of my own where I would have control over my life. I'm now 65 living in the U.S.A. At the present time I don't have any kind of job, for I'm partly somewhat disabled. The Phoenix, Arizona job market doesn't really look all that good right now especially for someone like me.

I am an ordinary private individual with no affiliation with any church, charitable organization, company, business or otherwise whatsoever.

Former executive injured years ago, totally disabled trying to live on SSI. I was recently diagnosed with cancer. Gas prices killing me faster than health. Living in car. Need $1,000 for phone, car payment insurance, and food. Totally of $5,000 getsfor me hometo and assured future. Thanks for considering.

My name is Donna and my husband,Tom,is a disabled diabetic. He has been diabetic for 20 years and for the past 7 years, he has been totally unable to walk. He gets SSI but it is not much. I ork but only for minimum wage. Our car stopped running on Feb. 14 and we do not have the extra finances or credit to be able to buy another one. As a result, he has not been to a doctor since to get refills on his medicines or insulin needles. He is getting sicker every day. I would like to get out and look for a better job but can't do that either. I have to push him in the road if he wants to go anywhere otherwise, I walk to the grocery store to buy food. We are behind in all of our bills but only a little bit. We just need someone would could help us with a car and a little to pay up our bills. This has been really hard on my husband. He feels depressed and useless because there is nothing he can do to help and is basically stuck in the apartment. Without his medicine, it gets worse every day. His blood sugar has been staying over 600 and I have no way to get it back down to an acceptable level. It is causing havoc with the rest of his body also. We desperately need a car to get him help. We have 3 grown sons but two are barely making it themselves and the third is in the National Guard and going through a divorce so he is unable to help also. If you can help or have any questions,feel free to email me at ddmedley@yahoo.com. Thank you and God Bless.

We have to pay $315 BY April 29th at midnight or the the next morning our lights will be off and our youngest daughter has sturge-webber syndrome and has seizures so it would be rough with no lights for her she would totally freak out. I would just give my account info and someone could pay it that way you would know that is what I am using it for. Please we need help and have no where else to turn

Sitting here trying to think of how to start this "beg" my mind does a fast playback of the last 5 years which seems to find me sitting here trying to think of how to start this "beg".

To type it all out would be exhausting, depressing and most importantly, a total disregard of your time. I will try to keep this as short and to the point as possible.

Five years ago my stepfather and mother were forced out of the home they had rented for 15 years after the real estate market came to a halt. My stepfather had always been very successful in commercial real estate but unfortunately did not save or invest for the proverbial "Rainy Day".

Totally in the dark, my mom continued spending money on daily needs and wants unaware that the essentials such as utilities and rent were not being paid. After realizing that my stepfather had no monies coming in and facing eviction she called me asking if I could help out by loaning them enough money to pay back rent and past due utility bills. Yes, I realize what most of you are thinking and I wholeheartedly agree but I was assured that one of John's deals would be closing within the next couple of months at which time the money borrowed would be repaid.

Needless to say the deal fell through and my money has not been repaid and what started out as a $5,000 loan from credit cards has more than doubled when factoring in all of the payments I have made and continue to make plus the mounting interest charges. They are now in their seventies with health issues and living month to month on social security.

The reality is that I will never see my money and will probably be paying for a very long time. Some people I suppose would file a lawsuit which for me is simply out of the question for 2 reasons. (1.) I love my mom dearly and I try to look at it as payment for the years she spent raising, doctoring, feeding, clothing and housing me. The second reason is obvious. Blood cannot be extracted from a turnip.

I know that there are a lot of people in much worse shape than I am in right now and I am employed, however I am now 5 months behind on what is called an upside down mortgage which I am trying to hold onto at least until home values come back. I would be more than happy to sell it for what I owe but there are major repairs (the roof being top priority) which have to be made before I can even hope to sell.
My goal is to pay off the credit card debt and if Bank of America doesn't foreclose on my house I hope to make the need repairs so I can at least sell for what I owe and then rent a small affordable apartment or house. Please... Any help that you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank You & God Bess!

Never imagined I would ever have to do this. After 25 years of living what I thought was a happy life, I now find myself alone and totally destroyed because I put all my trust in someone who apparently has always be in love with someone else. All my life I have been there to help others when needed, cared for my parents at home as they were dying, give everything I had to give to others in need, volunteered with just about everything. People have always said my biggest problem was that I was too good to others. That's who I am. I never expected anything from anyone I helped. I did it because I wanted to. I have been searching for a job for what seems like forever with no luck and now most of my bills are two months behind. My dad gave me the house I am living in and I am doing everything possible to hang on because I promised him I would. The mortage we took out was to fix it up some as it is a very old house. I don't know which way to turn now and I don't have anybody to even think about asking for help because I have no one anymore. Although I do not like having to ask for help, I would truly appreciated any. I will continue to try to find a job until I have one. It's not like I'm picky, I would take any if someone would give me the chance. And just because I fell into someone's cruel sick game I still will continue to help others in any way I can.

Hi,

I am an unemployeed teacher, and have been for several years, initially to raise my young sons; now, there just are not any openings being I live in such a small town. This, of course, was good for the boys, but hard financailly. Then, about a year ago, my husband lost his job, which has totally devasted us. Like I said we live in a small town, out in the middle of nowhere, and little to no resources to help. My husband had no choice but to withdraw his retirement, which we have already exhausted. This is a feeling that cannot be described, knowing that there is nothing left. My husband has been a hard working man all his life, and still is at 58. He does do whatever job he can take in his trade for well below the going rate, but they don't pay the bills. As a matter of fact, I am extremely worried about my husband, because he feels so bad about our situation.

We would love to move to a place we can find work, but we can't afford the move. Since I have not been working, we could not save, so we only have money on hand, which now is only unemployment. We don't even qualify for foodstamps, or any state help, including medical! This is because the unemployment is 10.00 over the allowment, and the unemployment only covers the rent!
I'm not so concerned about my husband and I; it's my boys who are 11 and 12. They are good boys, who make good grades and are active in sports. This is a challenge to keep up the sports,as there are fees,and at least one usually goes on to All-stars, which costs more. I really don't want to deny them, if at all possible, but, I just don't know how to juggle it all....

We don't have any family to speak of, so this is why I am making this plea to anyone out there that may find it in their heart to help...

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and God bless you whether you can help or not.

My parents are 77 years old, and they are the kindest, most giving, most loving people you will ever meet, but they are losing their home and everything because of me.

I have been disabled for 16 years and was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer two years ago. Even at their age, they have given up everything they've needed, including food and medicine, to care for me. They are losing their home of 36 years and everything else they own. It's literally killing them to go through this; they have gone down so fast. They have nowhere to go and are too old to rough it like younger people might. I live with them and will not be able to get the care I need.

They never blame me, but I feel totally responsible and the guilt is killing me. I should be taking care of them during their golden years. I have to do something to save them. I hope you understand. Please help me.

What happened to our non profit group could happen to you personally!
Someone steal ALL your money.

Someone created false checks with our bank’s routing number and account number but put a person’s individual name with erroneous address and duplicated the check numerous time to where it totally wiped out our checking account and put six additional fake checks onto our overdraft protection. This person even changed the name of the bank from Fifth Third to First Bank of Clewiston on the face of the check and no one has caught her. She wrote numerous checks to Publix, Sweetbay, Murphy, Winn Dixie, etc. and has gotten away with this. Meanwhile, you, the concerned citizens, are suffering from what she has done because we have been financially damaged by her actions. All of this can be verified with Fifth Third Bank (Fraud Investigation Case # 2011-027001 filed September 2011) call Angela Jones phone 239-772-1122. We have been suffering that long and need your help NOW.
We are a dual purpose organization which saves animals from being destroyed because their days have expired and work with some of the animals to teach them to serve the public as a service dog. The daily feeding and caring for the animals has been a financial need which the President of the group (Shirley Lucas) has been financially supporting the animals but this robbery is causing us to lose the 13 acres it utilizes to practice its training of the personnel and dogs. These are search and rescue maneuvers for missing children and elderly persons plus response to disaster situations. This property is essential in the operations and drills for the group. The property is Lee County parcel ID # 03-44-27-06-00000.0050 being located at 155 Greenbriar Blvd., Lehigh Acres, FL. 33972
K-9 Search and Rescue of South Florida, Inc. is greatly in need of financial support and seeks assistance in saving the animals and the property through your IMMEDIATE response of a donation or sponsorship or grant. The land will be auctioned on this upcoming Tuesday, April 3rd, if the approx. $8,000 is not paid in full no later than 10am. If we lose this land the free services we provide to the community will be greatly diminished.
This is happening to us not because of anything we have done but because someone has stolen from us. Just remember this could have happened to your family… and wouldn’t you want someone to come help them?
Please help us save this land and keep our organization afloat. You can assist by sending your tax deductible donation through your own PayPal account or using a credit/debit card or making a deposit into our bank account. Here’s the information: 1) go to PayPal to use your credit or debit card even if you do not have a private account and put the group’s email address as the receiptant: LeeCtyFLSAR@aol.com or 2) go to any FLOIRDA GULF BANK and tell them you want to donate to our organization and they will know how to handle it. There are 7 branches throughout Lee County. You can confirm this by calling the bank (239-433-6020), ask for either Jackie, Sherrie, Glenis or Sylvia http://www.floridagulfbank.com/locations.html
ANY amount will help. Even $5 will help pay for food for the animals.
TIME is of the utmost essence. Please respond today.

Sincerely,

Shirley Lucas

I'm not going to sit here and tell you a whole load of crap honestly this is totally new to me and very hard for me to do.... Iam a single mother that is trying her hardest to get by day to day, i have no family or support from anyone and all i want is to give my child the best possible education, life and happiness. But money is a major problem for me at the moment....i never thought being a single parent could be so challenging its even a struggle to put food on the table lately. Whoever has taken the time to read this please help me or atleast give me some advice.... i will be forever grateful. THANKYOU.

It really seems that I take one step forward and two steps back. After being unemployed for over a year I got a great part time job. It was brisk work over Christmas, then the hours got cut back to 11 hours a month. I have enough to cover buying a bus pass to get to the job and about half of my phone bill. I'm still actively looking and applying for jobs, but it took over a year just to get what I've got now. I really need some money to pay the phone bill fully $182(it's been rolling over for quite some time now and they've finally threatened to shut it off.) If I don't have a phone then I can't get calls from people wanting to hire me or even call places to see if they are hiring. Need money for my storage $154- I put everything I own in storage and am crashing on my friends sofa because I can't afford rent. I'd also like to be able to give her some money for putting up with me all these months. I owe her $700 for when she was paying my phone and storage before I got my part time job. That would be choice. It would be groovy to be able to buy groceries once in a while. This totally sux! I've got a degree, did everything you're supposed to do and I'm drowning in student loans, past due bills,and sleeping on a couch. Thank God for friends that let you invade their space. I tried one of those pay day loan places and I owe them $252 at the end of the month - my pay check will be a whopping $130 or so (after taxes). Ain't life grand? So my account will go in arrears - AGAIN! And i'll have to pay the $35 fee for insufficient funds. About $400 would do it by the end of March. Then I get to start all over again in April scrounging around to get money all while having a less than part time job. I'm not happy. But I'd really be grateful for any help. God Bless.

I have worked all my life and never asked for any help. I raised three children and never got food stamps, medicaid, etc. I am now physically unable to continue to work due to health issues. I know I am near the point of being terminated as I have to take medications that cause me to "nod" off or keep me in a fog. If I don't take the meds then the pain is unbearable. I owe $38,000 on a little house I bought. I was homeless for 2 1/2 years due to a layoff and I lost everything including my home. I don't have family or friends to help me. I am 60 years old and started working when I was 10. Lazy is not a part of my makeup. I don't know how long it will take to get SSD approval and I am scared to be homeless again. I don't have any savings or other resources to fall back on. I live on only the necessary requirements (no phone, no cable, no expensive foods, etc). I am missing too much work but the lawyer says I have to be totally off work before applying for SSD. I don't know how I can pay bills, not lose the home, etc if I am not working at all. I just need some help not to lose the house (it is not much but it is a home). The house will get me through as long as I will need it. I am just terrified of being homeless again. I have COPD, excessive narrowing of the spine, degenerative disk that are rapidly becoming worse (more than normal for my age), lose my balance, can't stand up straight, can't sit for long period of time, can't stand more than three minutes, neurological disorder that is causing me to "lose time" (can't find the answer to that one), need to stop driving as I don't know what happens during the losing time periods, episodes of slurred speach, numbness in my arms, hands, legs and feet. This is humiliating as I have always paid my own way and now I am facing this at my age. I need help and have nobody to turn to. I don't know if I wrote this correctly, begging is not an easy task. If there are people out there that really do help others in need then please read this with the understanding of what it is like to be alone in the world, facing being homeless again at my age. I need help with the house, utilities and just survival needs until I can get the SSD going. Thank you for your time.

I'm searching for an angel on earth to help me get well!!! I am very ill and wasting away. I can not take pharmacuticals, as I am way too sensitive. I must heal with natural products that I am unable to afford. I can heal with these!!! The way to health is there I just need the financial assistance to get the right things. I am in need of $3,000 to do the program, that is not much to be totally well and healthy.I lost everything 3 years ago and my health has gotten worse since then. I am unable to work and living with friends since I lost my home. Any donation will be of help to me.I have been through so much for 3 years and I have no family or friends who can help me now. I'm praying that there are good and gracious people out there who understand.

hi there and thanks for taking the time to read my story. i am a single mum to a 3 yr old little girl. her dad walked out on us when i found out i was pregnant and has even left the country so i cant get maintenance off him. i lost my job a year ago and since then i have been able to apply for 4 jobs but not even offered an interview from them. i have no support from family when it comes to childcare so i am totally relying on nurseries and there just arent any jobs that fit around nursery hours and will give me set hours. i am surviving on income support which doesnt go far and some weeks i just dont have money to go to the supermarket so really have to cut down potions to make food stretch further. i am trying all ways to raise a bit of money including selling mine and my daughters clothes on ebay. i need to pay £160 water bill before the bailiffs are knocking on the door. thanks for reading and if you would like to donate ANY amount to us i can promise you it will be very gratefully received, thanks

I can only be as honest as I was taught to be by my parents. I am totally broke with no money to pay my rent, lost my job last December, no money for food, and I'm about to lose my home for non payment of my rent a bills for the last two months. I don't know who to turn to because both my parents passed away and I am the only child.
Friends? well one only finds out who their real friends are until they need help, then no one is available. I have gotten myself into a lot of debt too and need to pay them off. Practically I am black listed.
I would appreciate any amount of donation and be forever grateful. This is only temporary until I can get myself another job which is proving very difficult.
Thank you

I was laid off in November and haven't worked since, I have 2 young daughters and a wife with a disability. I have a job lined up for the end of April but I don't have enough money to make the mortgage or bill payments til then as I have spent my savings getting this far. I am totally broke and I don't really know what else to do and would really appreciate any help I could get.

Hi, I'm Alexandra and I'm 20 year old working college student in San Jose, Ca. I was in a car accident this past sunday, February 19th in Los Angeles while on vacation. I just bought my car all by myself a month ago and thought I succeeded another milestone in life. I have full coverage on my 2006 Honda Accord but my insurance company decided to triple my deductible (not my rate) from $1000 to $3000 so I would basically be paying for my own repairs and medical bills (I have a sprained neck, back, and wrist but luckily I have health insurance). My insurance company left me stranded in the middle of a Los Angeles street with my crashed car. They wouldnt even tow my car back home or to where I was staying. I know it doesnt sound right and I already have filed a case against the insurance company about that with the California Dept of Insurance and with 7 on your side (the news station). I'm basically scrambling to find a mechanics shop to fix my car for a reasonable price since I do not have $3000 upfront. If you dont know how far San Jose is from Los Angeles, that is about an 8 hour drive. I have no way of getting to school or work and sadly I have contemplated quitting school to work a second job which was totally against everything I believe. I dont want to have to end my college career due to this. I honestly do not have anywhere or anyone else to turn to for help. This is basically my last call for help and will be making a decision soon about what to do. I'm only asking for $1500 out of a total of $4500 because I honestly feel bad for having to ask but I would really appreciate the help. Thank you.
