Hello to all and thanks for taking time to view my donation page. I'm 24 years old and I just saved up my last and moved to Nashville TN. I have a very promising future ahead with my music career in Audio Production. I'm in a very tight situation because I needed to get away from everybody slowing me down back home in Cleveland Ohio that does not want to see me succeed (including family, my 2 kids mothers, and people I thought were friends.) I've had opportunities at one point to make theme music for up and coming Disney, HGTV, ESPN and other shows just to name a few. Nobody really wanted to see me make it and help fund a Engineer so my dreams could become a reality. With the last of the money I was able to raise, I kissed my kids goodbye and moved to Nashville with a close friend from high school.
I figured that everything happens for a reason and prior to me moving, I found out that she has been out here in TN for almost a year with no furniture (bed, couch, dining-kitchen table) Its just her and her cat in a empty Apt. She has a job doing what she went to school for in the animal vet field but she's only recieving small pay. I know anything beats nothing but what is that for someone who graduated from WVU with a bachelors of science? She has Student loans to pay back to a actual bank, a car note, rent and utilities to pay for all on her own and her family is In Cleveland as well. They aren't fortunate to help the situation and anybody from Cleveland could understand why considering how the economy is.
Being a good friend(especially considering that im allergic to cats and there is no vaccume), I saved my last and moved down here because I figured I could help her as well as help myself. If we are going to struggle, we can struggle together. That's what true friends are for right? I have been here since Easter and it's still hard to adjust. She has a leased vehicle so im not really in the predicament to double up her mileage looking for jobs and going to school in it. Everything is so far apart here.I had intentions on going to school in the fall for Audio Production but one day i called a local school from one of the commercials and I ended up taking a tour the same day. I was so Excited to see the Music Studio that I wanted to start immediately!!! I then found out that I started school the very next month (May 7th to be exact.)
Now I have to find a job to go around my school schedule which is only 3 days a week but Im having trouble figuring out how I will even get to school. The bus system is different than back in Cleveland. In Cleveland, schools give students bus passes and they even get discounted prices for being students. Here is definitely not like that. I'm not complaining because I'm blessed to at least be away from all of the distraction and I'm enrolled into school. Now I'm just worried as to what it will take for us to be comfortable for a change.
I eat ramen noodles and Vienna sausages just about everyday to make food here last. I'm not complaining at all but I'm sure that after while i will start to get sick from this. The noodles have high sodium as well. Just barely making it is an experience that isn't fun and I wish this upon nobody. This is why I'm turning to a donation community.

Things all donations will go towards:

Food for home, Bus passes for my schooling, Furniture for our apartment (I'm seeing alot we can get for less locally on Craigslist), Internet so I can stay active with my production, More Music Equipment (the equipment is so expensive but im in the right state to get it used) and eventually a vehicle so I could get us around and not worry about my roommate going over her mileage.

Seems like I'm asking for a lot but I grew up knowing that everything happens for a reason and that prayer goes a long way. Somebody I met in passing recommended this site hearing me talk about my situation to a relative. Thanks in advance and even 1 dollar is appreciated.

hello. i am in dier need of rental assistance. i have just been medicaly discharged from the army after a injury during my tour of duty in afghanastan. i have been out for two months now i am still fighting an searching for a job to help out. i have a wife and four kids. i am looking for 700 dollars to cover my rent for the month of april in wich i am currently late on so if u can find it in your heart to help me an my family get over the hump it would be most appreciated. i can be contacted by email at shellzdg21@gmail.com thank you!

I am not asking for much and this is not an emergency.
My mom is a poor single lady with health problems living in the midwest. She never gets to do anything or go anywhere. She is a sweetie and goes to church. She recently lost a bunch of weight with diet, exercise, and hard work and was able to go off all her diabetes and blood pressure meds!

This coming August 2012, I would like to fly her out here near me (San Francisco) and give her a week of vacation where she does not have to spend a dime, as she has no money. She lives on a farm with nothing around. She has never been to the San Francisco or Sonoma area.

As for me, I am a single young lady here in SF and I work in I.T. for a living but only have enough to pay my rent (i live alone and support myself) and electricity and food. Nothing more.

I would like to bring my mom to the Napa/Sonoma vineyards on a wine tour. Maybe the wine train tour? Also to Fishermans' Wharf and do all the touristy things. Also a brunch cruise. The Aquarium. California Academy of Sciences. Ripley's Wax Museum. Fine Dining, a concert (maybe Yanni). And I dont know what else.

Plus, her airfare ($500) to get here and back.

This is a dream that I want to fulfill with my mom. You never know how long you are going to have your mom around, and I want to make this vacation spectacular for her! Nothing I want to do with my mom is all that expensive. But I want it to be MEANINGFUL, heartfelt, and a trip she wont forget.

(I originally wanted to give her a trip to Hawaii, but there is no way I can afford that.)

This is no emergency. I do not want to compete with the people out there needing heart surgery. This is just a vacation with my mom.
But you never know unless you have the courage to ask, right?
Any amount will help. I'm going to put every penny into a Chase Savings account and save until August when Mom gets here for a week of vacation; August is also my birthday. (if we can afford it).

If you contribute to this, I will send you all kinds of photos from mine and my momma's vacation in August!!

I'm getting married in October of 2012. This is shortly after my fiance returns home from his thrid tour in Afghanstain. We need help paying with some of the funding. We are very shout on cash being that I have got laid off from my job and im a recent grad so I have loans to pay back. Any financial help will be very appreciated as I try to plan the perfect wedding for my war hero.

I'd like to do something for someone else; I am friends with a family of 3 generations who has NEVER been on a vacation of any kind other than to the river to fish or to a movie because they are poor, have a large family, and just could never afford it. I'd like to take the patriarch, 3 of his sons, and 1 of those son's wife and 3 kids to Disney World, next year 2013, after all the new Fantasyland is done, and when they're doing the free meal plan. I need 2 packages for about $4000 each (moderate rooms with standard meal plan), or if we do it the dirt cheap room/quick meals only with no table meals or character buffets way, about $2000 each; any help is appreciated, as I am trying to pay for this MYSELF and I am on disability and staying at home every day and doing nothing and spending nothing for the next 2 years just so I can hopefully afford to pay some if not all of their trip. But I need donations to help pay for the rest of the trips. Please help! You can contact me here on facebook or by email at spyyder976@yahoo.com, please use subject line Disney World vacation donation or something so I know that it isn't junk mail because yahoo mail has a ton of junk mail! I can contact you directly and give info. on this family and prove I'm not scamming anyone, and any help, be it one penny or 1, 5, 10, 20 bucks, or even 50, 100, 500, 1000, or more is greatly appreciated! Even a penny donation will help! A dollar will help 100 times more though!:) Thank you so much for reading and considering helping me to make this family's dreams come true! If I get enough help I will add a 3rd package so some of their other siblings can go, if they can get off work and are able to. There's another son who has a wife and 2 stepkids, but he may not can get off work, and the mother also may not can get off work. The father is on disability so he will not have to schedule off days and can go anytime. There are 2 daughters, both of whom are married and one has a newborn and one just got pregnant, so they most likely won't be able to go. At most, I would need 3 packages, but at least 2 packages. We will be driving, so we'll not need air fare, just gas to get down there for a 6-8 hour drive and back each way, which we can cover if need be. I plan to go and give them the grand tour since I've been once, and I can pay for myself, and part of 1 or 2 other person's trip if I have to, but I can't afford to pay to take 8 or 9 folks to Disney World for a week to 10 days on my own. Thank you again!

My name is jeffrey I am 27, served in the u.s. army infantry and completed one tour to Afghanistan. I have a four year old son and rarely get the chance to see him and have always paid my 800 a month child support. Never been late on bills nor have I ever accumulated any type of debt. I have always been there for friends and family when they hit financial tough spots. I still contribute as much as I can to help my mother out while my father is in prison. My finance has always been there to help us get by. But that is all I have been doing for a long time... Getting by. I know this is like taking a shot at the moon but I am hear to ask if anybody would help donate any funds so I can enjoy a vacation, do something special for my girl and I. One day I hope to pay it forward to somebody that deserves it :) Thank you for your time.

My husband has served 3 tours of duty and just returned home last spring. His trauma from the tour of duty has caused major health problems. We are both full time college students and I was just laid off my job and my husband's contracting job has had no work for a year. We are in a bad place right now, the worst its been in 5 years. If anyone has the heart to bless our small family with a donation of money to help us make ends meet, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks for listening. God Bless and Support your troops! If you want to donate to our family, please email me at Shanti.Kriens@gmail.com and I will email you our address where you can mail us a check. Thank you so much for caring.

I am a graduate student barely making ends meet. I am married with one child. My husband and I don't mind being poor. It builds character. However, my grandmother died a month ago and I wasn't able to go home for her funeral because of the cost and school commitments. Also my husband's brother just came home from his 4th tour in Iraq. We would really like to go home for Christmas. Unfortunately, we cannot afford it. It will cost $1,200 for the three of us to travel. Please consider donating even one dollar. My husband and I both work and are active in our community and our child's school.

I hate having to do this but i see no other way than having to ask for some help. My sister and I are trying to make it on our own but she is a college student (about to get kicked because we cant pay her tuition) working two jobs that pay very little and I am having a hard time finding a job. What little money we make goes to gas and food and thats not even enough. I finally have a job lined up but i don't start working for a few weeks yet. We just got hit with the news that our parents got kicked out of their home, along with our two younger brothers, because a meter reader came bye and refused to turn on the electricity because the wiring in the house is "unsafe" according to him and they are now living in a hotel on a teachers salary, that was just cut down to part time due to budget cuts, and my dad is unable to work due to the fact that his cancer (leukemia) just came out of remission and progressed to lymphoma. On top of all that, our rent was due today and I have to make a car payment soon or they're gonna put a hook on it and pull it away. I'm a shame of my self that I've let it come to this point when I need to beg for help. I was do pretty good on my own working full-time at a fast food restaurant and then getting deployed to Afghanistan with my reserve unit. After a year long tour, I came back and quite my job to go to school full time, but then my dad started to get sick and when i tried to find a job the recession really took its toll and every one, I mean every one was on a hiring freeze and the only job i could find was delivering newspaper in the early morning for $125.00 a week but that wasn't enough to pay my bills so thats when i started to fall behind. That was 1 year ago and i finally found a better job as an overnight stocker because i moved 1000 miles away to live with my sister in her one bedroom apartment that we cant even afford. I don't know how we are going to keep our bills payed and keep from getting evicted until i get my first check from work in about a month because i don't even start working until three weeks from now. Please Help US. GOD BLESS

Hello, I have just recently medically retired from the Marine Corps after 13 years of faithful service. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a friend. However lately, with all the changes I have had to endure, I have felt invisible. I injured my back during martial arts training and didnt seek the medical attention I needed until it was too late. I had even gotten to half way of my Marine Corps Marathon training but had to stop due to numbness and tingling in the feet. Once I finally did try to get the medical attention I needed, I was told I had a somatoform disorder, which means the pain is all in my head and not in my body at all. After seeing a Navy shrink I was told I had a personality disorder and he submitted a Administrative discharge request to my Commanding Officer, I was devastated. I loved the Marine Corps and everything that came with it. I had no intentions of leaving it and only wanted to get better and seek proper care. Instead of getting the help I needed medically, I had to fight to keep my career and lively hood. After further tests, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a pinched nerve, carpal tunnel in both wrists and buldging discs. I had to be seperated medically. Depression is not even close to the word to describe what I fell into. My goal-dream was to be a Drill Instuctor, fight a good fight over seas and put in 20 years. In the blink of an eye it was all gone. Now I had to let go of my aspirations of what could have been and now try to figure out what I was good for now. A little bit about my self:I was raised in Austin, Texas by my maternal grandparents, left by my biological mother at 15 days old on Christmas Day 1975. I endured a strict upbringing and borderline abuse, much due to my grandmother’s fear of becoming my "mothers, daughter". I have never known who my father is and doubt he knows I even exist. I had been the witness and the victim of neglect and child abuse by my mother who was and is still heavily into alcohol and drugs. She had two more daughters in which I helped raise up until they were left in another state with relatives. It was then that I left to the Marine Corps at the age of 19, mostly to find myself and forget myself. During one tour in California, I was made aware that one of my sisters, 7 years my junior, was in need of my help due to abuse from the relative she was left with. An uncle who had abused her from the age of 6 until she was 12. I took emergency leave and went to get her, I already married with a newborn, and I knew I had to lend a hand and help. The abuse and trauma was too severe and the state of California took custody of her after a failed suicide attempt in her high school. I continued my military service until I received yet another call, this time for my youngest sister, 12 years my junior, was in states custody and if I could provide a stable home for her. I was now a single mother of a 4 year old and still an active duty Marine, but again, could not turn my back on the need she had. I put in the time and the effort, attending family counseling 5hours away and meeting with doctors and lawyers to get the process started to get her into a stable situation. Finally at the age of 14 she was placed with me and I was granted custody. I enrolled her in to high school and away we went onward and upward in our life. It was not close to "traditional" but we had each other and that was more than what most have. I received orders to Japan for 3 years accompanied and although I had reservations about the huge change I took it in stride. I had pleaded my case to the Marines about staying until my sister graduated in 2years but at the need of the Corps I was sent anyway. In Japan, after only being there for about 6months, my sister started to self mutilate again. With that the military sent me back to my previous base and committed her to a hospital immediately. After a 30 day stay and with support and guidance she eventually got to a place where she could receive the help she needed to heal. She graduated from high school and is now in the medical field working full time and engaged. After that chapter closed the new one with my medical mishaps in the Corps started full force. I am not one to really get or ask for help, and have been in the business of giving but I am hoping now in the oddest of places, maybe I can, with my story inspire someone to pay it forward and lend a hand. I thank any donation and appreciate any amounts. I am trying to start my own resale shop online and hope with some assistance I can get to a better place in my life as sometimes the future seems real dim. Thank you in advance and God bless.
