Uncomfortable Tags

I've never been more uncomfortable asking for anything. I always felt ashamed. My mother once told me, it's how you view yourself, and that you shouldn't feel bad or ashamed. Well for me asking for help from people I do not know makes it hard. August 18th of 2012, I will be getting married, first wedding, and Im happy! Unfortunately, my fiance and I need help. I won't go into the total of the wedding, only b/c we both work and are trying to go it alone. Besides, I feel that, that would be a bit selfish, to put numbers out there as if to have it paid fully by anyone. Any donation would be most appreciated. Again, I would like to thank you in advance for reading or even considering donating to my dream day!

Respectfully,

An ask for help...

Dear friends,

I feel very uncomfortable coming like that asking money to people I even do not know. It is the first time of my life to acting this way, but we are so desperate that I decide anything to save my mom. We need help of any good soul to save my mom's life. She is 62 years old, a wonderful woman who worked really hard for her family for long time...she's has a diabetic rethinopathy in both eyes and doctors says she needs a surgery as fast as possible to save her sight. Unfortunately there is no technology appropriate where she is living, so she need to travel to have a chance to get appropriate care. And the cost of the surgery is pretty much expansive that we can not afford it by ourselves. She already lost her autonomy and every single day is playing against her. This surgery is the last chance to save my lovely mother from blindness. I am asking your help for any amount you can afford to help us get this surgery done. I want to believe that all the kindness I would receive from you will come back to you multiplied.
Thank you very much for your support.

God bless you.

Hello, I am so uncomfortable doing this. I am a 42 year old woman with two wonderful toddler boys ages 3 and 2. My troubles started in 2010 during my pregnancy with my second child. I became very sick and the doctors were unable to find the cause. During the search for a cause I was diagnosed with Lymphoma, but the cause was finally identified when I gave birth two months prematurely. I will not go into graphic detail, but I came out of the hospital 7 weeks later,with shortbowel syndrome and other serious problems. My son thankfully was fine and is thriving. I worked for a government agency for 16 years, and suddenly found myself surviving on disability. I must add that my husband was not much of a help. We are currently seeking to get divorced after 5 years of marriage. Through my illnesess he has been verbally, emotionally and on occasion physically abusive. I prolonged the divorce due to my health conditions and he is a good father to our children. My, what I thought was an upstanding, husband lost his job in 2009 and has not worked since but some small jobs. Even though he has worked, he has barely contributed to supporting the family. I have managed to keep the family afloat by paying the critical bills. What I haven't been able to pay is:

*our monthly condo maintanence fee of $258.00 for the past 3 months.
*I have a $160.00 car insurance payment due on 6-10-12, this will keep my paid until 10-10-12.
*The divorce attorney is asking for a $2500.00 retainer.
*June health insurance of $555.00.
*The numerous unpaid medical expenses.

I make it happen with the rest of the things my boys and I need. In July of 2012 I will recieve Medicare, since I will then have been on disability for 2 years. I think that will make things somewhat easier on me. As a note, lymphoma is not being treated right now. Thank goodness the nodules have remained stable, though if there is any change I will probably have to start some sort of treatment.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Since almost dying in 2010, I have a renewed faith in God (though I have always been a believer). I know that God walks beside me and my children and the He watches over us. Prayers to all that are on this site, whether asking for help or giving it.

This year is my Mum's 60th Birthday and I really, really want to be with her to celebrate it - in person.
But about 10,000 miles separate us. She lives in Nebo, Australia and I live in Wisconsin Dells, WI of the U.S of A and I don't have the funds to travel there. It's been over 20 years since I've celebrated a birthday with her, together in the same location.
My Mum knows I don't have any money so I know she will be super surprised to see me instead of just the getting a phone call on the day.
Having to ask for money is very uncomfortable for me but I need to see my Mum. Currently I only have a part-time job and in debt from living on my credit cards and I'm trying so hard not to get further in debt.
So, thank you for taking the time to read my request and I appreciate any help you could spare.
Thank you and no offering is too small.

Hi,

(Note: You may see this same post on beggingmoney.com)

My name is Eliabe. I am an 18-year-old guy from Brazil and I need your donation because I need to move away but I can't afford it.
Let me tell you why.

I grew up being abused by my dad -- emotionally and sexually. I did not realize what was happening until recently. I still have to deal with the consequences. I became social phobic, anxious and depressed. I am still afraid, disgusted of and uncomfortable with touch and closeness, yet I am dying for it. An African therapist agreed to help me for free, so I am getting better but only very recently am I making progress.

Three, almost four, years ago (2008), my family rejected me over religious issues. I wanted to join this Sabbatarian Christian religious association (this particular sect is a minority in Brazil and honestly everywhere else but they're more present in the US and England) and my family rejected me and reproached me so severely that it radically changed my personality. They wanted to throw me away. I was only 15. I had nowhere to go. I was deeply shocked and shaken on the inside. I never knew I could feel so hurt! I had never expected such sudden rejection from them. My mom said I was a disappointment to her and that I would not stay under the same ceiling as hers if I wanted to keep my faith. My siblings made fun of me and my new beliefs. My father demonized me and said he'd take me to their religious authorities to “straighten me out.” They accused me of bringing a curse into our lives and treated me as a shame to the family ("What will others think?" they wondered). My relatives (uncles, aunts, cousins -- I have a big family) were all against me too. I did not tell my friends because they belonged to the same religion as my parents. I started isolating from everybody. I became very deeply depressed. I would sleep just not to have to be awake and suffering.

It was really overwhelming to me. I had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. The congregation was out of town. So I decided to give up on joining that group. However, I did not stop believing in them but I had to pretend to be in my parents' religion on the outside.

But then my life became a nightmare. I had bad dreams at night. I became paranoid. Every time I was outside, I would walk around the house many times before taking the courage to go in. My heart would pound every time the phone or doorbell rang or someone called my name or asked about my religion. I would feel sick and go pale every time someone initiated a conversation about religion with me. I was traumatized. I am only getting better now. I fainted many times as I got weak because my mom refused to cook clean kosher dishes for me. I can’t even begin to describe all the sacrifices and pains I had to go through not to lose my identity. I can’t, for example, go out on a date or have a serious friendship because I am hiding the most important part of myself. Try to have a relationship where you do things you can’t explain the other party. Do you think it can ever work? My friendships are all shallow because of that.

I am a recent high school graduate. I took a basic course on administrative services and telemarketing last year, paid by the government as part of a program in Brazil called “Jovem Aprendiz” (“Young Apprentice” in English). As part of that course, I am working part-time, supposedly to acquire experience in the field, though I actually work as a warehousing assistant in the company (completely unrelated to administrative services). As I only work part-time (4 hours a day), I only receive HALF the minimum wage, which means I earn about $2 per hour. Yes, I could save that money to achieve my goals. It would take over two years but it would be possible. But I can't at the moment because I have to support my parents and siblings. My brother also works and my dad has recently found a job after three years of unemployment but I still have to give them a significant part of my salary or else we will starve. Also, even if I could, I’d still be desperate because I have been suffering for almost FOUR YEARS!

So I want to move away because I want to be free to convert and live my life, have friends, a girlfriend and a normal life. I got a passport and contacts in the United States. They can help me once I am there but they can’t buy my plane tickets as they cost over $800! There are also additional costs as I need a visa. I am currently looking for a job there. There have been people who want to hire me but they stopped contacting me after learning of the costs they would have to pay.
So please help me. It is the ONLY way for me to be happy again! It doesn’t matter how much you donate. It will make a HUGE difference.

Thank you very much. God bless you!

I moved in with my girlfriend 2 months ago. I left Boston to come be with her in NYC. My work had run dry until April. She had just been evicted from her apartment by a slumlord landlord who stole her belongings. We were living from paycheck to paycheck. Supporting each other as best we could. We didn't have enough money to get an apartment of our own, so we got a one month sublet, which ended up being a nightmare-living in a closet with our 2 cats, and dealing with the scum of the earth roommates who made us feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, and awful. During that first Monty, we spent our savings just living. We both work in the creative fields, myself a musician, an she an actress. Work was spotty at best. We borrowed money from friends and family, feeling terrible about ourselves every time. Mid-month, I decided to file for unemployment. (something i had never thought I'd ever do)
The money we were expecting from that would have paid her union dues, giving her a pay bump by about 400%. This would have enabled us to not only survive, but get on our feet and pay back our friends/family. About a week and a half after filing, my boss calls me and tells me I can't file, or he'll go out of business due to the fact he's never paid insurance on his employees. He convinced me he'd cover my unemployment pay (totaling $4,343) if I agreed to recind my claim, thus saving him tens of thousands of dollars in back-taxes. I agreed. As soon as I'd done that- he tells me his lawyer advised him not to do that, and that he never agreed to that in the first place.
I have now been playing phone tag with my unemployment agent for weeks trying to restart the claim, and have the state go after him for the money he owes them.
Meanwhile, at the end of January, we had to move again. We couldn't find a place in time, and ended up staying in a motel in Stamford for a night while we made appointments to see a few places. We awoke to the front desk and housekeeping ladies banging on our door, telling us we have to leave or they'll call the cops. We are still fighting Hotwire.com for charging us for that.
Luckily, we found a place that night. The expenses of having to move though, totaled over $500. (rental car, motel, storage)
The apartment we are in now is shared with 4 other people. It's a two bedroom. There are 3 people sleeping in the living room. There are cockroaches. We once again have to move out, by March 7th. We have applied for foodstamps. (they have yet to be approved)
This time around, we have no money to move with. Our resources have been tapped. We are out of options. Work is still spotty, and we have borrowed from everyone we know.
We have a week to come up with rent, cell phone bills, and moving expenses. Nevermind money for food to ear everyday. (as I type this, we are preparing to go out and sell some things for food money)
I have never been this scared in my life. I doubt that writing this is going to make a difference, but I have to try everything.

If anyone reading this wants a specific number that would get us out of this- its $5,000. Here's the breakdown:
$1,000 rent. (not counting a deposit)
$1760 my girlfriends union dues (which means she makes enough to get us on our feet)
$175 storage fee
$250 cell phone bills (it's a month late, an we're on the same plan)
$130 car rental to get our stuff out of the apartment
$40 rental car gas (they charge $9 a gallon if you don't fill the tank when you return the vehicle)
$1,000 for food for the two of us and cats' supplies. (food,litter)
And the rest would be to pay back some of the people who've already been there for us helping us along the way.

Please. Please help. We are a young couple in love. Scared. Trapped. Out of options.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you will find it in your heart to consider helping us.

To Whoever is willing and able to help:

Hello. My name is Keith Wolfe. I realize that you may not know me personally and are probably wondering why I'm asking for help from anybody and everybody. Please, let me explain… I feel that help (of any kind) can be given to and received by anybody (even to/from total strangers) as long as the need is truly legit (which my need is). I actually consider myself to be a walking, talking, breathing charity case. Will you please consider giving to charity (me) today? To learn more about my situation, please continue reading…
I am currently unemployed, looking for work, and have been struggling to get by financially for some time now. My bank account is overdrawn by a considerable amount, I currently don't have any money to pay my rent in the amount of $870.00 for the month of March, 2012, nor can I afford to buy food to eat (and my cupboards are getting pretty barren right now). Also, my vehicle is in much need of some basic maintenance and a tune up, which I can't afford right now, either.
Like I mentioned above, my bank account is overdrawn and more fees continue to apply, and I'm at the point where my bills and rent are impossible for me to pay without your generous financial help. With your help, I can begin to climb out of financial hole I'm in. I am basically at the bottom of life's barrel and at the moment I can’t even see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will probably be out on the street with no place to live very soon unless something drastically improves, a miracle happens, or somebody makes a generous (sizable) donation/contribution.
The recovery of my higher financial standards and the freedom from debt, overdraft fees and other related stresses has proven to be impossible on my own recently. Things have just been spiraling downward for me and not improving for long enough now and I'm nearly at my breaking point and don't know what else to do other than ask for help. With your help, though, I'm hoping to get financially ahead and stay there. (And, I'd be thrilled to eventually and hopefully be able to help somebody else in need in the future once I'm out of the current mess I'm in.)
So, if I could possibly get any financial help from anybody in whatever $$$ amount, it is truly needed right now and would be much appreciated. And, as much as I dislike having to ask and beg for help, I am desperate at the moment and feel that I need to.

Again, anything you could possibly give/donate/loan ($$$) would be much appreciated. And, I also ask that you remember to keep my situation in your thoughts and prayers even if you're not able or willing to send money.
Thank-You soooo much (for whatever you are able to provide ~ money, thoughts, prayers, suggestions, and/or advise of any kind).

Peace be with you, and God bless!!!

Sincerely,

Keith Wolfe

P.S. - Thanks so much to the couple of people who have helped me so far. But, much more help is still needed and would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

K.W.

I am a single 50 year old woman. I have raised two natural born boys and three adopted boys. I have raised these children as a single woman and at times worked two jobs. I have received a scholarship for school but due to illness, I currently need seven classes to complete my education. I am currently on disability but would like to earn my own way of income. I am asking for help to complete my goal of graduating from college. In my family I would be the first to graduate from college. In fact, my son has graduated from college (while serving our country, this was the only way we could afford his education) before I have finished school. The degree I am trying to obtain is a BS in Biology, BS in Forensic Science and a minor in Chemistry. I am willing to work a salary earning job (which I am also trying to obtain while I continue my education. In order to do this, I plan to enroll in the Organic Chemistry course of three quarters and the Physic course of three quarters and one DNA processing course of one quarter. The cost to complete this goal totals $15,000.00 (should the amount either increase or decrease, I shall update this information). I intend to obtain a salary earning job in order to support myself during this time. As you can see, we are a family that is willing to work hard to succeed and give back once again. I am not asking you for a hand out but a hand up. I am a woman who has had to sacrifice in my past in order to give my children the best I could. I am a diabetic with Fibromyalgia. I have gastro paresis and have been in and out of the hospital at least every three weeks. I have nerve damage to the nerve in my stomach. I have had to leave school for the last year and a half. I started the year of 2011 taking twenty different medications and ended 2011 only taking seven medications now. I have worked hard this last year and intend to be more aggressive in 2012. I believe that each day gives a person a chance to take one step forward and one step is still a forward motion. I realize there are days that one step seems impossible, but I think it is up to me to take that step. I appreciate the advice along the way, but it is my path to walk. I have come to the conclusion that sometimes we need to reach out to others. I am a giver and I feel uncomfortable about asking for help then it occurred to me that maybe some of those people I gave to have been waiting for an opportunity to give back. I believe that we may not be able to give back to that person because of death. You can still give back to the universe and I know I am part of that universe. Please take a minute to give. In order to assist me to achieve my goals, you can donate to a secure pay pal account under the name of: womanneedsurhelp. Contact me at: womanneedsurhelp@hotmail.com. I am interested in communicating with you if you have any questions. I believe it all starts with a conversation whether in person, electronically, or anonymously. I fully understand you are interested but would like more information, which I am happy to give.

Hi there,

I am a hardworking single parent of 2 children and ordinarily would not ask for help, however, I really don't know what else to do about my problem. Since my husband left 3 years ago I have struggled with money but due to Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and various other painful ailments I have had to stop my second job and so my lack of money is a big issue. We get by and don't expect a lot i.e. no holidays in the sun or big TVs, however, I am now in a situation where I need money for medical treatment and have no savings.


When I was pregnant with my second son, who is now 10, I developed large cysts on my face which all burst and left scars and holes all over. As you can imagine these areterribly disfiguring. My self confidence is zero, especially when people stare and mention it. I do not want to go out of the house and I have stayed in the same job for 12 years as I am too uncomfortable to have an interview for another position. I have tried various things including strong chemical peels which have only made my skin worse. My doctor has told me that I can have treatment but it will cost a few thousand. Therefore, what I am asking for is help with not just making me look "normal" but about improving my life and that of my family. If I am fortunate enough to ever have treatment I would ideally like to find a better job and give my children the start they deserve. If you are able to help me I would be most thankful and forever grateful for your assistance.

I am currently a college student looking for any help I can get to continue furthering my education at the University I attend. Initially I had a plan because my mother had the money, but she was confronted with an emergency that has cause even her to struggle with her own bills and has put her in a uncomfortable financial place. I currently owe about $2,000, but I have come up with some of the money. I hope to raise enough for my education and also to help my mother. Any donation would be more than appreciated.I'm just hoping to find that the wish I wished for, the Christmas gift I wanted to wake up to, and the start of an enriching year continuing my education
Thanks & God Bless

Two years ago my soon-to-be Ex lost his job. Due to the type of job loss he had, the state paid for him to go back to school. During this time, we survived on my income, his unemployment and student loans. Jump forward to now. The 2 years, plus other various reasons, took their toll on our marriage and we have decided to divorce. Problem is.... neither one of us can afford to move out. We've only lived in our home for a brief time and are one of the thousands of home owners who find themselves upside down in their mortage. We have decided to let our home go back to the bank. We have 2 young children we plan to share joint custody of, so any place I move to would need to have 3 bedrooms. I'm trying to save, but with Christmas, bills and recovering from his 2 year job loss, I don't have much saved. We are all currently living in the same house, he for the most part in the basement. To say the situation is uncomfortable is an understatement and I'm worried its starting to effect our children. My credit is shot, we had to file bankruptcy last year, so ideally I'd like to have around 3 months rent plus deposit to help me secure a new place to live, approximately $4000.00. Any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!!

A Desperate Plea for HELP… Donations for Luxating Patella Surgery!


I have a Service Dog named FiFi who is a Medical Alert Dog.
My Service Dog has been diagnosed with an extreme case of Severe Bilateral Medical Luxating Patella, confirmed by two separate veterinarians, who consider it to be a chronic and serious medical condition. The grooves in her femurs, where the kneecaps are supposed to ride, are very shallow and have caused her kneecaps to slip out of socket to the inside of the legs. Her kneecaps cannot be manipulated back into place by hand.
She has developed the condition bilaterally, on both sides, her condition is at a Grade 5 out of 5 in both hind knees, which is the most severe, and she needs surgery ASAP on both limbs.

The Luxating Patellas are causing constant pain and discomfort, decreased energy level, tiring quickly, bony protuberances, bowlegged, crouching stance, swollen knees and joints, poor coordination, loss of balance, limited mobility, stiffness when walking, a change in posture, lack of appetite, and arthritis pain.
When she is able to walk she does so with one of her hind legs further out from her body, while the other affected limb is always being carried because it is much too painful to use. For the most part, she must balance her weight on her front legs as she walks, while holding her hindquarters off the ground, which is severely uncomfortable to say the least. She is no longer able to walk, or even stand on her left hind leg, and is not able to move it.

The recommendation is for her to have corrective surgery on both knees within 2 weeks. The surgeon advised that, if left untreated, the condition will worsen and may lead to rupture of the cruciate ligament as well as painful deformation of the leg bones as she continues to grow. The surgery involves deepening the trochlear groove and modifying the joint capsule to prevent the kneecap from slipping out. If there is significant deformation of the leg bones, they will have to be cut, realigned and pinned. She will have approximately 8 weeks of recovery time.

As you can imagine, this surgery will not be cheap. The estimated cost (at a reduced price) is approx. $1,900 to $2,000, per leg, not including pre-op lab work, post-op rechecks, X-rays, narcotic pain medicine, a custom-built Wheelchair for Toy Breeds (to help her get around), plus miscellaneous other medical supplies that she will need after surgery. The Wheelchair (as prescribed by her Veterinarian) must be ordered online and costs $249.00+ Tax + Shipping and Handling charges).

If FiFi does not get the surgery she needs she will be forced to live a life of constant pain with a permanent luxation that could develop into degenerative joint changes, bone deformities of the femur and tibia, and may not be able to walk ever again!

Any donation that you can make towards FiFi's surgery would be greatly appreciated!

FiFi is an adorable Toy Pomeranian with a Sweet and Loving Disposition; a Sparkling Personality and Magical Charm. She is very clever, well-mannered, and is unusually calm and quiet. She is one smart dog!
She has brought so much Joy and Blessing into my life; I can't ever imagine life without her! Wherever I go, FiFi brings out the best in people. I know she brings out the best in me. I have formed a special bond with FiFi. She is not only my Service Dog; she is also my Best Friend and part of my Family.

My dog is a Service Dog, and she's paid her dues. It is a lot of money, but my dog deserves it. She's only 7 years old.

If it were for me, I would not ask for help.

But it's for FiFi!

Thank you all in advance for your donations, prayers and support!!


P.S. I can provide good personal and veterinary references to testify that I am a loving and responsible pet parent. I can also provide medical documentation from FiFi’s Veterinarian to verify her diagnosis and medical condition.

Definition of Luxating Patella:

(Luxated Patellas are a congenital (present at birth) condition. The actual luxation may not be present at birth, but the structural changes which lead to luxation are present. A Luxating Patella, or Patellar Luxation, is a condition that involves the dislocation of the knee cap, where it rotates to either the inside or the outside of the leg. A Luxating Patella can result from a traumatic injury or from a birth defect, but it is primarily passed down through ancestral genes).
Grade IV. The Patella cannot be replaced manually, and the leg is carried or used in a crouching position. Extension of the stifle is virtually impossible. Tibial rotation is quite severe, resulting in a "bow legged" appearance.

Hello everyone, this is a very tough and uncomfortable topic to advertise, but I try hard to be an honest moral Christian, and I didn't know where else to turn. I gave birth to my 7 year old daughter during my first year of college when I was 19. Soon thereafter her father left town, and cut off all contact with us. Meanwhile his stepfather has always stayed in contact with her. Often taking her to a movie or to the park, etc. My daughter started complaining that she was hurting, and upon medical evaluation it was determined that she has been molested and sodamized. The police department was called, within a week's time they questioned everyone she came in contact with, excluding her "step" grandfather who holds a prominent position in a vary prestigious government agency. To make a long story short, I was fired from my job at the local hospital due to this incident, he comes and picks my daughter up from school whenever he wishes, brings her home and when I say anything, he tries to force himself on me. He has told me I better leave town. I am constantly being watched day and night, to be honest i'm scared form the life of my daughter, and I need to leave town, but I have no money to do so. Any help anyone can give to help us move would be greatly appreciated. The cost of the move will be roughly $2,000 dollars. As of now I have $800 of that, I will accept any amount you are willing to give. Thank You, Sonny Fisher!

Greetings.
I am not looking for a handout, but rather a loan. I am currently in a combination of secured and unsecured debt for approximately $35,000.00. I would like to borrow this sum at a rate of 5.497%, with the interest compounding monthly. The length of the loan would be 5 years, with payments made every two weeks (26 payments a year – a total of 130 payments). Each payment would be $308.00 directly deposited from my paycheck to your banking account. This would result in your investment of $35,000.00 turning a profit of $5,040.00 (total payments equaling $40,040.00); that’s a return of $1,008.00 a year.
I have all the legal documents drawn up that would bind me to these conditions, including clear avenues for recouping your investment if I should become insolvent or pass away.
To provide some background – I have been working for the same company for 10 years (nearly 11) and make approximately $74,000.00 gross a year. I am married with two children. I have supported my wife through medical school, residency, fellowship, and (currently) sub-fellowship. After nearly 16 years of school (including undergrad) she is nearly finished (18 more months) and has already signed a letter of intent for employment.
The debt I have accrued (as listed above) is a direct result of the financial burden of her education. Licenses and certifications (and their related tests), training seminars (and their associated expenses), and the dismal pay rate for a resident/fellow, coupled with the financial load of paying back her student loans has put us in an uncomfortable financial position. By allowing me to reign in the smaller, higher rate loans I have taken on will allow us to return to a healthier financial profile instead of being close to bankrupt and unable to pay for rent, electricity, or food.
If this situation sounds at all interesting to you, please contact me at grouchyseamonster@gmail.com.
Thank you!

I can’t believe my life has come to this. First and foremost, it is important to know that I am a hardworking, responsible individual. I love going to work every day as a child and family therapist knowing that I have the ability to help make positive changes in others’ lives. I also, for whatever reason, feel very uncomfortable asking for help. I don’t think I have ever asked anyone for financial help in my life, let alone a “donation”. I was always taught that if you want something…. YOU WORK FOR IT! I have had a job since I was 13 yrs old and it taught me to appreciate the value of the dollar and hard work. But what happens when you physically can’t? My values speak to who I was, who I am and who I want to be and why I am worthy of your help.
• Be respectful, giving, loving and kind to others.
• Treat others as you would want to be treated.
• First and foremost dedication to my family and friends
• If you want something, you have to work for it because nothing in life is free
• Work hard and you can achieve anything you set your mind to
• If you believe in something, be passionate about it
• Love what you do for work – Life is too short
• Do not be selfish, but selfless – be there or give to others as much as you can
Resilient for many years –struggling through a childhood of undiagnosed ADHD - low self esteem, disruptive and impulsive behaviors, poor attention, disorganization, ambivalence about making life decisions, flunking out of college my freshman yr at 18 yo (which led to me having to pay any subsequent schooling on my own), moving and attending a new school at the beginning of my 8th grade year with a scoliosis brace that had to be worn 23 hours a day, having major surgery at 14 yo and missing 3 months of my freshman yr. As an adult, moving from NJ to Ma away from my family who I was extremely close to due to a marriage that didn’t work, losing my father to cancer and watching him waste away in front of me and feeling helpless. I did return to school as an adult committed to helping others and figuring out my own insecurities. Over 7 yrs (25-32 yrs old) received my bachelors degree from Rutgers University with high honors and my masters in clinical social work from Columbia University also with honors.
I know what I am capable of and I know how much I have to give to others. But at this point in my life, I also need to be honest with myself about my physical limitations.
When I was 12 yo I was diagnosed with a severe case of scoliosis and had to wear a body brace for 1 ½ yrs. Bad timing, I guess… I had just moved and was starting my 8th grade yr in a new school. Two yrs later (1983) I had major reconstructive surgery (14 hours, in a body cast 6 mos, couldn’t ride in a car or sit for more than 15 mins a day for 3 mos) and my spine was fused from T3 to L4 – all at 14 yo! Over the years, my back problems were just “part of my life”. Now at 43 I am disabled and in need of another major surgery due to collapsed discs that are compressing the nerves in my lower back. The pain I endure is affecting my ability to sit, stand or walk to any period of time. I had to leave my last job as an outpatient therapist a couple of years ago due to my inability to commit to a schedule because of my pain. I have been taking pain pills, which I do not want to become addicted to and have worked out an arrangement with a caring chiropractor. Not to mention at work I have kids, teens and their families who depend on me to help them, some of who I don’t charge because they can’t afford it. So, my schedule is minimal, my bills are racking up and I continue to try to help people sometimes at my own expense (physical). I have no health insurance because I can’t afford it, I live in a 800 square foot apartment that I share and I drive a 1998 Nissan Maxima that has over 200,000 miles on it! I don’t have “things” because I don’t NEED material things. It kills me to ask for help, especially monetary. It’s hard for me to accept help but I have no problem giving, lending or helping other people. My friends say that I give “too much”, but I feel that if I have it to give or I can do something to help someone else be happier, less stressed or more comfortable than I will. And I’ve been taken advantage of many times because of this – for example, 3 yrs ago, I lent a co-worker $5000 to assure that as a single mother she would have a dependable car for her and her 3 kids. She has not paid me anything yet. Gave another friend my car for 2 weeks to use because her car was in the shop and she couldn’t afford a rental. It was definitely an inconvenience, having to walk to and from work a mile, having to way to run errands until the weekend, etc. But I did it because I knew how much it meant to her and how much it helped. I then find myself thinking … who will be my angel when I need one?? And I do…. Please, please help!! I don’t have a choice right now. I need surgery, physical therapy/personal training in order to continue working for others. Thank you so much for any contribution you can make! God Bless!

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 single mother of two high school aged children (15 & 17) seeking immediate assistance to pay my debts, bills and secure affordable housing for my family again. We were displaced in April from our home of 5 years.

My family was involved in an automobile accident (not our fault, but thankfully no injuries)in January of this year in the only vehicle our family owns and while it is still drivable and in need of repair, I am still settling the outstanding claim (for the past 8 months) with the other person's insurance company who hit us, which includes fighting in court to recover damages.

Additionally, my income has dropped drastically due to loss of work and we are barely surviving on $500 a month.

Unforeseen hardships, deaths in our family, my childrens' education, lack of involvement from their father and other financial strains continue to take a huge toll on us and our ability to maintain a sustainable home. It seems bleak at times to feel as though we have no sense of real security in our lives. And, it serves only to divide us, which makes it even more difficult for any of us to stay together, focused, driven and motivated..

I am struggling to find sustainable employment to no avail and we had no choice except to move in with a family friend who is retired and living on a fixed income and struggling to save his home from foreclosure. Our combined contributions do not adequately cover the expense of managing the home, but there is little recourse to either of us at the moment to change the situation. We have only patched the situation, not repaired it. It still feels as though the boat is sinking....

I have never sought this type of assistance before and while it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable seeking this help, I feel I have no other choice but to BEG for immediate relief before something drastic happens to permanently alter our lives forever in ways I do not want to even imagine. I cannot allow what is happening to us (be it pride or pity) destroy our hope, my children and their vision for the future. We must turn our situation around to restore balance back into my family's life. Any generosity would be an eternal blessing...

Hello I'm a 22 year old college student who needs a helping hand. My grandmother passed away a year ago and her death has seriously strained by personal finances. From selling her home to paying thousands of dollars in legal fees I'm at my wits end. With that in mind I've been a student at the auraria campus for almost two years and I'm finally almost graduating, however I need three classes to graduate with my degree. I'm planning to transfer to CU at denver to study Biology however my financial aid hasn't come in and wouldn't come in for sometime. My cut off date is August 29,2011. I need at-least $700.00 for a tuition payment to continue my studies. I'm working temp jobs, however I'm only making enough to keep food on the table I need Help!!!!! I very uncomfortable asking strangers for money however I'm in desperate need of help.

Hello to all you rich freindly people. If your online looking at this post and u have extra money to throw away, i would be so happy if u could throw it in my direction. I am a very stressed out person, i have an abnormally shapped skull and i wanted to get sergury to help fix the shape of it. I am constantly stared at and it makes me very uncomfortable and insecure... Ive been saving up for a few years to get the procedure done but i am still down thousands. If you could help in any way i wouldnt even feel bad taking your money just because of everything ive went through lately. Im so desperate so If u can help please email me at markomuzik23@gmail.com i would be so greatful and i would never forget your help.

Our electric bill is $589 which has to be paid by the end of the month. It would not have been this high but two week ago my ignition went in my Chevy Malibu and the repair was almost $400 plus I had to shell out an additional $150 for a rental so I could go back and forth to work.

Here is what happened. We were on budget billing where we paid a set amount-based on an average of the payments we make through the year. Every few months NYSEG checks things over and if the actual amounts are lower that what we pay, we get the surplus. Then, if the actual amounts are more we have to pay the difference. This is what happened to us. Since we had to pay to get the car fixed, we were behind in the electric payment. I did, pay the $250 a week ago. But NYSEG canceled our budget billing account.

If we don't pay the $589, then it will get shut off. However, if we get it paid off, we can get back on the budget billing plan. I plan to have NYSEG automatically take the money right out of my checking account each month. That way we don't have to worry about a missed payment. I already talked this over with my husband. I already have my car insurance taken out the third week of the month. So NYSEG would take their payment in the last week of the month. I am planning to do this with our cable bill. That leaves me with one week of the month for my car payment. My husband would be responsible for the mortgage. That will leave us with plenty of money to save for emergencies-such as future car repairs.

Before I can even start this, I am going to need the $589 by the 31 of May. While we can pay this, it will put us behind on the cable bill and the mortgage. And I don't want that to happen.

I am including my paypal below if you want to make a cash donation-59 people paying $10 will get this paid off.

But you don't have to make a cash donation. Many people just cannot afford to do so. Plus many people feel uncomfortable giving money to a complete stranger. But you can help out by clicking the link below:

This site pays me whenever somebody reads on of my articles-I do some free lance writing on a variety of topics, such as business, health and wellness and sports. I also write some fiction.

If I get 3,000 people to read (or skim) each of my articles, I will have more than enough money for the electric bill.

As the name says this is the blog where I am putting my short stories and poems. I am planning to have another blog for my novels. I have two fantasy novels that i want to share. I don't understand how google does the payments for blogspot, but I am sure that if 3,000 people read my stories and poems, I would at least get something. Even if I don't make money with blogspot, this is my thank you gift for helping me out.

Have always taken pride in solving my own problems. but now that my world has fallen apart, I am forced to reach out for help.

The debt is huge.....a long stretch out of work, facing eviction, credit card debt (much of this is just from trying to keep up with expenses).

I am not looking for someone to solve all my problems. Now that I am back to work I just need $450 to keep my apartment until I get paid.

I am very uncomfortable asking for a hand out, so my commitment is to repay whatever help is offered and I will make arrangements to do that.

I may be at the end of my financial rope, but my spirit remains optimistic.

Thanks
