Traffic Tags

Hi I am a single mother going through a tough divorce, a victim of domestic violence. I have had to start my life over after losing everything. The last 2 years have been really tough and it's very hard to recover in this economy and tough job market. I really need some help to pay my back rent upcoming rent as well as some traffic/court tickets so that I might have some breathing room. I have some ideas for a new business too but I couldn't even fathom in that venture until I can catch up and start to save a little. Food/gas is always tight every pay period so it makes it hard to survive. Is there anyone out there to help me?

I lost my job and have 2 days to come up with rent or face eviction. I do not want to have my child in the streets and would hate to lose her to social services. I have an interview on friday for air traffic control at the sure port and am going to be on my feet by next months rent. Please help me and more importantly help my daughter. She is 2 and is the joy of my life. God bless and thank you for at least taking the time to read my post.

Hi. I am a female in my 20's. I have always been a hard worker and on my own. But this past year or 2 have been really hard. I have lost my parents, lost my job, and now I have lost my license because I cannot afford to pay a traffic ticket. I am so worried. I hate to ask for help, but I don't know what else to do. I don't have anyone here that can help. All I need is to pay this traffic ticket, then I can reinstate my license. I have a car. I suppose I could drive without a license, but I am too afraid to risk it. I can get a job just as long as I can drive. Can anyone find it in their heart to help me? I promise to pay it forward once I am back on my feet. Anything would help me, $20, $10, even $5. It all adds up. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

My ticket is $280, and then I have to pay a $100 reinstatement fee. But anything will help me My email is micheleleer@hotmail.com

Hi - I know this is probably going to sound ridiculous, but I really have nowhere else to go at this point. I am 22 years old, and I just moved out of my mom's house. Well, "escaped" would probably be a better term for it - my mom is very emotionally, psychologically, and verbally abusive, and she used a lot of things of that nature against me to keep me from leaving her. For the longest time, I thought my life was normal, but when I became 20, I realized that things in my life were far from that. I have been planning this jump for years, and I finally managed to do it. I literally had to wait until she was at work before I could get my things and move in with my friend. As of now, I am seeking employment of my own (I worked with my mother before, which is obviously out of the question now), and I am struggling with a lot of different financial situations. My vehicle is very old and the license plates are expired, and I have no money to update or repair them. I have two traffic tickets due for them by the end of April, and I am very worried about it. I am also wishing to go to school, but I seriously doubt that is going to happen at any point soon because of my situation. Things just seem to be getting worse and worse the more that I think about them, but anything is better than being under my mom. So please, if you have a heart and can understand my situation, I would ask that you donate whatever you wish to help a young woman out on her own. Thank you very much for your consideration, and may you be blessed.

I am raising money to help fund a friends tuition. In return of a 20 dollar donation I will build you an adsense site or just a simple website,you can specify, on any topic of your choice using Wordpress. As a bonus I will install a plugin,not yet on the market,that will help you get traffic to your new site.

Trying to shelter/ feed/ and educate myself, I feel like I can’t breathe…life’s pouring water on my already drowning self. For the first time I NEED to ask for help, I’ve been doing whatever odd jobs and work I can find, but, I’m so close to giving up. The debt/bills/dues keep building and I’m running out of time. Please…anything.

Hi everyone. If you're reading this, thank you. Let me say upfront, I'm not asking specifically for money. I'm just going to spill my guts about this hand I was dealt.

I've had a hard life. My mother passed away when I was 12, and my father passed away at 20. He left me a lot of debt and a house to maintain.

The stress of all this has given me problems. I started having panic attacks and was hospitalized for a cardiac arrhythmia. Recently, I developed optic neuritis. I'm working on getting Medicaid to cover some of my costs but right now I'm in debt about #1000.

There is one blessing in my life, a relative who pays my internet and utilities. He also helps me with food. But that's all he can do. He goes without to provide me with that. Otherwise I'd be homeless, hungry, and who knows where.

So I'm blessed to have the basics in life. But there's so many things that I need that I have to beg other people for. My family is...not so supportive. All I have left are aunts and uncles, all except one on my mom's side. My mom's side of the family pretty much abandoned me when she died. They put me though shame and humiliation when I ask for help.

I want a job, but I live in a very rural area. I've applied s o many places up to an hour away but I don't hear anything back. Recently I applied for some state jobs which I'm hoping might come through.

These are the things I need and things I want, so you know what my intentions are.

Need:
Toilet paper.... :( The way I've been getting it now is to go into public restrooms and putting some in my purse. I feel wrong about this. But what can I say, it's a necessity?

Personal items...I won't go into detail but I'm talking about um, feminine ones. I get the Dollar Store brand kind, but even then it's too much. I've had to go without it which is very hard.

Hygiene items...I stopped using soap and shampoo conditioner. I would love to...I feel dirty honestly. But I can't afford anything. I only use deodorant every few days because the bottle is running low and I'm trying to make it last.

House items...I need dish washing soap. I can't afford paper plates and am just washing dishes with hot water now. Sometimes I cant' clean it all the way through that way, but I just have to forget it. I also need laundry detergent. I'm almost out of a huge bottle that I have made last over a year. It was Sun brand from the dollar store, and I loved it. I'm all about generic.

Gas money...My car is an old SUV, and it takes a fair amount of gas. I try to limit when I drive. But it's a necessity since I live alone and in a rural area. I have to drive to run errands, go see the doctor, go to job interviews. I usually beg for this the most cause this is one of the things I can't do without.

Medication...I'm on two heart medications because of my arrhythmia. It's important I take them. I tried taking them twice per day instead of three, and I had horrible palpitations. So this is kind of my priority. As I'm still uninsured, both medications cost about 12 dollars a month.

Okay those are all things that I feel I need. Now, what I "want".

Clothes...I haven't bought new clothes since 2007. That's when my dad got diagnosed with cancer. My shirts have holes in them, so do my jeans. I got them from Goodwill originally most likely, I like to be frugal. The only person I have is made of linen and has a hole so things fall out of it! I've lost weight and I have had my jeans fall down in public. It's bad. I only have one bra and it's way past it's prime. I would love a little money to buy some basic things. Jeans that fit, some cotton T-shirts, a purse. Maybe even something for job interviews? I think part of the reason I get denied is because I show up in jeans and a T and flip flips. But that's all I have.

Beauty stuff...Okay, this stuff is totally not worth your money, I get it. But I just thought I'd list everything. It sucks being a young woman who can't feel pretty. I'm unwashed, my clothes make me feel like a hobo. I see other girls my age in class (I attend college part time thanks to financial aid) looking and smelling beautiful. I mean...

I just want a hair cut. Recently, I hacked about 6 inches off myself with scissors. It's not pretty. I just want a little powder and some lip gloss to not feel so plain. I just want a spritz of perfume so that there's something beautiful in my senses. I daydream about when I used to wear cute clothes, go to a salon. Wear mascara and paint my names. Ahh...But this is just a dream. I don't expect anyone to help me with things like that.

A new laptop/tablet...The one I have now is really old and really slow. Don't expect anyone to get me one. If it happened, I would probably assume I'm dead and in some sort of heavenly afterlife. Then I might pass out from shock.

So this my friends, is my general beg for help. I'm a 23 year old girl without much family. My basics are covered, but that leaves a lot for someone who is broke. I'm actively searching for employment. I've applied from Dr.'s offices to bars. I'm part time in college, and I'm not sure what I want to study yet.

I don't drink, if I had the money for beer I'd buy TP instead. I don't smoke or do any illegal drugs. I'm not a criminal.

I am not someone who wants to just take money. If you are down on your luck too, please don't send me anything. Put it in savings. Give it to some of these people who are about to lose their homes if you must. They're deserving.

If you're apprehensive about giving money but still want to help, you totally can. A package filled with toilet paper, tampons, shampoo...that would be like Christmas morning to me, I swear.

I'm not sure what I'm going to get out of this. Writing this was therapeutic though. If you're on this site, you're already a nice person. I bet 90 percent of the traffic is people who want something, like me. People who go on here to help someone is probably such a rare thing.

Thanks for reading.

So here goes nothing. I'm currently a 22 year old woman who has dug herself a hole. I am a poster child for bad spending habits and self absorbed youth. I currently have racked up 40000$ in debt from student loans credit cards a car loan and one very expensive traffic fine. I used to work in construction and was able to afford all my bills but when I was 20 I decided to go to school so I quit my
Great paying Job and ventured into the academic
World. I did my
First year and HATED it. Afterwards there were no jobs available so I went back to hospitality. I work as a restaurant manager full time but barely make enough to pay my regular bills let alone my debt. I live paycheck to paycheck and constantly worry about money. It depresses me so bad to think at 22 I might have to file for bankruptcy. And on top of all that I got caught driving with no insurance (I lived in a small town and only drove to the store). It was a stupid choice but my insurance was so high that I mostly walked to where I needed to get except when it was too cold or late at night. Either way the judge slapped me with a 5700$ ticket for my
Stupidity. The ticket had a year for repayment. I was given the option to work it off but due to my regular Job I was unable to without losing my income. I scrolled and scraped for the year. Eating basically tuna and pb&j sandwiches and having no social life. I managed to pay only about 1400$. Sad I know but remember I barely make enough to pay my bills. After having the payment date delayed by another 3 months I knew it was hopeless. My
Credit is shot my debt ratio is too high and I have no one
To turn to for a loan. As of November 1st there Is a bench warrant for my arrest. I am quite terrified because this Is a stay or pay warrant so if I'm ever picked up I either need to pay the remaining 4300 or sit in jail for 3 months. I'm a young woman with no criminal record I never even got a suspension in high school. If this were to happen I would also lose my Job and ultimately my home and all my bills would fall 3 months behind. The fear of this keeps me
Awake at night because it's terrifying. This one mistake could cost me so much in the end. I have looked at every option as to getting a loan but to no avail. So now I turn to begging for help. Please help me pay this ticket off so I can try and get on with my life without the fear of going to jail for sometbing so silly. If ever I needed a miracle it is now. If anyone has it in tneir hearts to help me I would appreciate
It so much. I don't want to feel like a criminal any longer

Medical bills are topping $60,000.00. I am negotiating with the hospital, Dr.'s, Surgens, etc.

I am unemployed, with no insurance. Have never been sick and suddenly had a Gall Bladder attack. I have already exhausted my savings. I am not looking for a free ride, but need some serious help.

We already lost our home and jobs to the economy and are living in our camper. We travel looking for work in parks, or during municipal events (directing traffic, trash pick up, etc.) We have been getting by up to this point, however, this is a real set back.

Please dig deep into your heart and help a Vet that has worked hard for the past 30 years.

My husband was hit by a drunk off-duty EMT. He was thrown over 2 lanes of traffic and landed on a sidewalk. His ankle was broken, he fractured his ribs, he damaged 5 disca in his spine and neck, his intestines were twisted and he suffered an acute double-hernia and had to have surgery. He was out of work a while. His settlement was 10,000 dollars and did not even cover our medical bills and bills from lost work. We have an Autistic son who is not getting help he needs due to lack of insurance. Our car was reposessed after my husband lost his job as an auto mechanic due to his injuries. NOw he is able to return to work and he has a jiob offer but we have no car to get to work. I have been given a job but again, no car to get to work. My granddaughter needs us due to her parents being very unfit. We really need to finish the 2 unfinished bedrooms off with sheetrock and some kind of flooring so we can move her in with us. Our family is in desperate need.If you can help us with a car or anything please contact me at 610-703-1452.

I have a solutions business that I am trying to get started over here in the United Kingdom, I want to help car dealers increase there sales, at the moment I am trying to get my product out so they will understand
but I need help with getting traffic and recognized here in the Uk, this means I need supplies and at the moment I am struggling and need someone to help me
to those who understand what its like to begin a business please I would truly appreciate anything you can give so I can make this business a success
God bless you and may the Lord give you above and more for your gift, I annoint this and ask the Lord to send someone that will honor my need, I trust the Lord is already answered me and I know he will bless whoever blesses me over and over till there cup runs over. To that person may they have health and greater prosperity, may they be full of joy and peace, God give them whatever there heart desire is amen

I am asking for help for my son and his family. They are struggling in so many ways. Neither one has been able to get a job. They have 2 small children. They are dealing with a drug addiction which they are seeking help for. They have made many mistakes and bad choices but are wanting to make a better life for their children. The children are outgrowing their clothes. Their car needs new tires and a good tuneup. They are driving back & forth to a drug Rehab. All costs money and my 2 daughters & I have been paying for as much of it as we can. But the biggest problem facing them right now is huge fines from traffic tickets that did not get paid. If they are not paid in the next 3 or 4 weeks my son could go to jail for a good while. With everything that's happened in the last 2 years we just don't have the money to clear him up. I know that my son messed up and we have been trying so hard to get him free of these things, to give another chance. I just can not bare the thought of him going to jail for traffic tickets!
I know that this situation does not appear to be as urgent as other people on this site, but I know in my heart that these kids are going down in a bad way if someone does not help them! I am not asking to just their sake. I am asking for the sake of those dear little babies who love their daddy & mommy very much! My children want to be able to live a better life. They need your help! Please help.

The restaurant I was working for closed for business and left me without a job. I have no car and it's very hard to get around and find work and be able to balance work/school. I need to fix my drivers license it will cost me total only $900. It was suspended because I got a couple minor traffic tickets I didn't pay so I just need to pay them. Over the years the fees and court costs have kept going up. My dad said if I can pay to fix my drivers license he will buy me a car. I've had so much trouble finding work because I mainly cannot get around to get a job. So please... If some of you nice people can please me to get my DL fixed so I can get a car and be able to move around and find work and get into college so I can be a normal working American and be able to drive myself from work and college easily and live a normal adult life. I know there are some nice people that will be willing to help me out. I thank each and every one of you (in advance) for your generosity. Feel warm inside that you helped a young man get back on his feet after a lay off and helped him to achieve his dream of going to culinary school and to be able to work responsibly. I don't even have the money to pay for a paypal account so if there is a way to get this money please, please I need it. My email is dallas.cutie.pie@gmail.com if anybody can email and tell me how to get the money. Thank you. I live in Dallas, TX btw

The idea has been brewing for decades. I am not alone. My generation does not have the retirement expected and enjoyed by our parents, despite having been educated and hardworking since our teens. Tried to save, careful with earnings, and at 50, little to show for it. The rat race has run it's course. The urban mayhem is tiresome, and we deserve to retire, relax, and enjoy life before we are too old to do so.
As it stands, I like many others are looking at working our whole lives, and I mean our WHOLE lives. It is wrong.
At my current age, both my parents took early retirement , and have been enjoying theor lives comfortably already for decades. This dream is completely out of reach for myself, and most amongst my generation.
Working our whole lives, full time is wrong on many levels. One being that we are only making others rich, as we toil, grow ill, and spend our days in traffic and cubicles, struggling, for what? As long as we are chasing the paycheck, there is no freedom, and no hope for living before we croak.
A commune does not have to be dozens of dirty hippies. I see small communities. Even half a dozen people, or couples in one large home. This home can consist of a shared building with kitchen and living space, and other out buildings containing bedrooms,bathrooms private entrances and porch space. So you have a place with community and privacy as you choose.
Once I had a roomate situation that was much like this. A large house, S shaped. bedrooms were at opposite ends, and I went weeks sometimes without even running into roommates. In the center was the main kitchen and a living room space where we occasionally got together in. Roommates each had their own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, and living room space. There was a common courtyard area, as well as a private outdoor area for every bedroom. We comfortably had 8 people,, sharing rent and utilities. This made the cost of living extremely low , and we each survived happily only working part time.
There was a community garden, those who participated in its upkeep could just help themselves to its bounty, but there was plenty to share and even those without the time to work in it would benefit.
Everyone was responsible for their own food needs, transportation, and their portion of rent and utilities. It was no problem, and we lived this way for a full decade, and could have indefinitely if the house was not sold. I did try unsuccessfully to buy it.

So, I am asking for assistance making such a thing possible again, but this time by owning, not renting, so as not to lose it!

The place does not have to be glamourous, just roomy, on the outskirts of town, and hoping this time for a pool. And I wish to share it with others in the same manner so to afford others like myself to retire, or at least semi-retire, comfortably. The beauty in this is also that you are not alone, not isolated, and yet not crammed in where you have no privacy. There is someone there if the car breaks down, or if your heart gives out!

I think this is a great model for my generation who has worked hard and deserves the retirement that has been stolen from them. We do not want to burden our children.

I see this model serving first in this respect for those of us contemplating the impossibility of retirement, but also I believe it can serve as a model for a new way to live for all. Share. Pool resources. Grow food. We can enjoy all the modern conveniences, and get off the grid too, gradually.

When like minded people come together and cooperate with the same goals in mind, it can happen.

Need the home, need the land. The rest is easy.

Please consider the simplicity, and common sense in my plea, and help me make this possible for myself, and others. It will serve as an example to our children and future generations. Please.

And thank you for reading this far, I know this was long!

Every cent I receive from this post and others I will put toward this plan which I hope to get off the ground ASAP.

I sit here with tears in my eyes and my heart. I am 50 years old and the mother of an amazing 14 year old daughter that until until 2008 lived with a mentally abusive and cruel husband and dad. At that time we left to move in with my 88 year old father. I had hopes of a new beginning for us,a chance to be able to be happy and feel comfortable and safe in our home, something I had dreamed of for my child. Then on April 1,2009, no April Fool's joke, everything went bad. After dropping my daughter off at school, I completely blacked out while driving in morning rush hour traffic. Some how I drove through traffic lights and turns and ended up parked in a grocery store lot where I walked around, all without seeing or hearing a thing. I came to for a moment as EMS was putting me in the ambulance. I woke up 36 hours later to the fight of my life. I was in the hospital for 30 days, battling organ failure and trying to regain my memory and abilities. While all this happened to me, my father passed away at the house. My daughter came home from school to find him passed away at the side of his bed and me no where to be found. My child saw this and had no idea where I was or if something had happened to me. It took hours before the neighbors found out I had been taken to the hospital.

Since that day it has been one battle after another, but we never give up. I had to learn to walk and write again and I am still waiting for disability. We have gone through every dime I had trying to pay the utilities and the second mortgage on my father's house. The house has holes in the floor in the kitchen, bathroom and my daughter's room and electric to only one half, but we never complain because we are thankful to have somewhere to call home. I am writing this because I have $49 to my name and bills to pay so we have a home and utilities. I have tried to sell everything we do not need, but that has not gone as well as I hoped. I have tried to find ways to work from home and that has not worked out as of yet. I have worked since I was 15 and I have never been unable to do so. I can not stand not being able to provide for my child. I am hoping that the same guardian angels that guided me to safety that April day will touch your hearts and allow you to help me keep my daughter from loosing the only thing we have left. When I get back on my feet I plan to help as many people on this site and in my community as I possibly can, because I know the stress and heartache that comes with times like this. I also know that more people than one may think are only a paycheck or two from loosing everything. Please help us and do me a favor, what ever amount you find in your heart you are able to give to us, take half of it and find someone else on this site that touches your heart and give that half to them as well. I thank you for any help you can offer and know that God will bless you here on Earth and in Eternity.

I am a 46 year old traffic policeman in South Africa. In 1993, i married accross the racial barriers to a white afrikaner women. we have two children, James aged 11 and Kyle aged 8. Since 2006, our lives went downhill when we were faced with a serious financial crisis.Then my wifes entire family (father, mother and brother) were wiped out in a car accident and this just added to the strain at home. we live in a government prefab house. My salary just cannot sustain my family and i have basically given up any hope of getting out of this situation. there are just so many bills, school fees in arrears of R30,000 other bills in excess of R80,000. i have been blacklisted at the credit companies so i cannot even buy anything on credit. i know this sounds like the usual story, but belive me this is not a normal story. i can give you more evidence of my predictament if you so wish. you can even visit me and my family to wittness what i am saying. pLEASE HELP ME!

As I went to the store today, I couldn't use my Visa debit card. I knew I was in the red yet again. This isn't my first rodeo. It's too easy for a handful of money these days to turn to zilch in a matter of days. However, I am on disability and if I go back to work, they cut my monthly cheque. It's hard to find under the table work that is legal and not physically demanding. It would be hard to find even a dead end job as this site has seen more traffic with the economy dragging on.
Waiting ten days for the next cheque can seem like ten years. This is what living paycheque to paycheque is like. Because of my financial and medical situation, I never date and I don't want to bring children into this.
Now with Christmas not too far off, I'm worried I might not get much of if anything this year. My sisters decided to just get presents for their kids this year. I'm not as far off in the ditch as many people are in my area alone.
I also have to get out of town sometime next month and I hope I'll be able to afford that. It doesn't happen much as I can't afford a car, driving licence, insurance, or maintenance. Out of town trips happen less during the winter months as no one wants to be on the road that long of they don't have to be. Even taking the city bus costs me and it gets crowded, and some days I don't even leave the post code. I also have to live at home, by the way, which also can be a strain.
So if you can find it in your heart, please give me what you can. If I win the lottery, I will pay you back every dime. Thank you for your time.

My name is Clinton Vestal, and I am 36 years old.

I was born and raised in California, and lived there until 2005. My mom and I moved to Oklahoma, because it became to expensive to live in California.

In the past 3 months, I have had a run of bad luck, and need some financial help to get back on my feet.

In July, my mom and I decided to move back to California. Unfortunately, on our way there, my mom had a stroke and passed away.

I decided to go back to Oklahoma, but as I was traveling through Arizona, I found out that I had a warrant for a traffic ticket that I didn't appear in court for, and was taken to jail. My dogs were taken to the local humane society, and my vehicles were towed away. After serving 18 days in jail, I went back to claim my dogs, and found out thay they wanted a large sum of money to get the out.

I tried borrowing from friends, but because of the economy, no one was able to help.

My dogs are my # 1 priority, and I love them very much. They are really the only family that I have left.

If you can find it in your heart to help me in this difficult time, it would be greatly appreciated.

If feel time is quickly running out for my dogs. I have many sleepless nights thinking about my mom and dogs.

Please if you can help me, I will definately pay it forward as soon as I get back on my feet. Even if you can afford $1, it gets me 1 step closer to being reunited with my dogs.

Thank You
