MY FAMILY NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Posted by heatherdbarker on 2012-05-20 14:58:15

Hi,

It's so hard to come on this site and ask for assistance, but when you have four small kids you have to do what's best for them. My husband is the only one working Full-time and I am not able to go back to work due to the expenses for childcare. We have an 8 yr old son, 5 yr old daughter, almost 3 year old, and a 4 month old son. With just one person working, each month we are living paycheck to paycheck, but having to get loans and when my husband gets paid all of our money is gone. My heart hurts for my family because I have to see us struggle and not have. There are many times that we don't know where our next meal is coming from or how my husband will get to work in order to pay bills and support us. I have tried working online but have been unsuccessful. Each time though God has provided for my family and we are still blessed. Please if anyone can help my family out. We really need you. Thank You, Heather

In need of help, unable to afford my medicine.

Posted by rmittr1 on 2012-05-18 14:58:19

Hello everyone, my name is Ryan and I am 18 years old. I live in Baltimore, Maryland. I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after witnessing the sudden death of the closest person to me in the ENTIRE world, my best friend who lost his life 7 months ago. Many times I become anxious or depressed, and my SSRI medication allows me to function in a normal society. I am currently and constantly looking for work, however I have been unsuccessful in the past few weeks. I can no longer afford to pay for my medicines, and I can not afford to pay for my doctor visits. Without getting back on my medications it will be difficult to acquire a job and without income I may end up homeless. I am 18 years old looking to get my self together mentally so I can set myself on a positive track to successfully live the rest of my life! Anything would be highly appreciated. God Bless

medical bills have wiped out my $, dog and i will soon be homeless

Posted by mugwump64 on 2012-05-14 12:58:45

in a couple of weeks i will be homeless. after becoming unemployed two years ago i was living off money which i had from cashing in my retirement account. after taking a couple of months for leisure ( i hadn't had an actual vacation, aside from a long weekend here or there, for the past 12 years) i was in the beginning phase of starting a small business. then i had a heart attack. i had surgery to place a stent in one of my arteries. it seems that i was born with a twisted artery and had been living with it all my life suffering no ill effects. according to my doctor artery walls are fairly thin and pliable when one is young, but as a person ages the walls thicken and become less pliant. when you combine these two factors with the twist of the artery, the result is a cutoff of the flow of blood to the heart. my doctor said that had i waited another day to come into the hospital, i would have died. while the surgery left me weak, it was the anti-rejection medication that i was on which was the problem. it left me so tired and weak, that after a walk to and from the local bodega just two blocks from my apartment , after i walked in the door i had to lay the bags down and sit and rest for a half hour or more, before i could put groceries away or even thinking about standing up and preparing food. quite a change from when i was biking 5 miles a day/ five days a week and lifting weights several times a week. my bank account was swiftly drained due to the cost of the hospital stay/surgery, and to the cost of medications ($130/month).
once i was off the anti-rejection meds and feeling well enough to work, i began searching for a job seeing as my hope of starting a business drained away with the money in my bank account. but unfortunately, with the economy the way it is, i have been unsuccessful in my search. i am now virtually penniless and am being evicted from my apartment. i am have sold off what few possessions i have in order to have some cash to buy the things i need for living on the streets, but the accumulated amount came to less than $100.

monetary donations via paypal are more than welcome,
i have also created a wish list at amazon.com for certain things that will be very helpful for me to have while i am homeless, but which i can not in anyway afford.

http://amzn.com/w/298Q89SP8GLCZ

i have left comments next to each item to explain why i feel the need for it. e-giftcards from amazon would also be helpful.

My only chance for a family is with Donor Eggs

Posted by Familyplus1 on 2012-03-13 21:58:36

Having a family has always been important to me.

Over the last several years, I have exhausted my savings in attempts to have a family. The natural attempts to have a family have been unsuccessful, so I went to IUI’s. After a year of unsuccessful IUI's and 2 miscarriages, the only option left is with IVF and donor eggs.

The cost is $30K for the Donor egg program and the IVF procedure.

I’m active duty military and my insurance company does not cover any part the costs for the donor's medication and the IVF procedure nor does it cover the medication that I will need to take.

I have tried to get a loan thru various channels available to me but have been unsuccessful due to not having any collateral in which to secure the loan with.

I’ve had several people volunteer to be a co-signer for a loan but their income- to- debt ratio and credit scores prevent them from being approved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Posted by linettehudson on 2012-02-14 12:58:57

Hello everyone. I am currently and have been looking for a job, but have been unsuccessful so far. I went back to college for one semester and could not afford to keep going and trying to keep my bills paid at the same time. It is rough out here, and I have worked all my life since I was 14 years old. My family cannot help me because they are under fixed income. I am behind on my rent and I need $1000.00 to bring the rent up to date. I can furnish documentations if needed. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can donate to the cause. Thanks for your time.

Qualification to help tired hubby

Posted by soapyideas on 2012-01-29 04:58:48

Hi to all and thank you for reading my post.We are a family of 4 with 2 young girls. My husband works very hard to pay our bills and it leaves very little left over every month despite our scrimping and saving. Despite looking for work myself, we live in a very small rural town and with most jobs my wages would be taken by travel and childcare, I have so far been unsuccessful. I have started to look at work from home idea's and enjoy making soaps and bath products, to be able to sell these products I need to be certified by a chemist and do assessments. These in total cost around £500 and that's before I start buying ingredients so to speak to make the products to become qualified. If I become qualified I hope to be able to sell products and help my husband by taking some of the financial strain off him and to help provide for my 2 daughters. Many thanks in advance to all of those that can and will help. As and when I am in a position to help I will help others in need xxx

Broken Back caused unemployment

Posted by Tiffanywilliamson1974 on 2012-01-13 08:58:41

I have been out of work since Sept 1st due to a major stomach surgery. My husband owns a construction company and Dec 13th, he fell off of a roof and broke his back. He was airlifted to have surgery and remained in hospital for 2 weeks. He is home now, but cannot work for at least 6 months. I have looked for a job everywhere and thusfar have been unsuccessful in locating one. Our monthly bills are well over $2000 and we have absolutely no income. I have been to the local church and they gave me some food for which I am grateful, but it wasn't much and it was a one time deal. I am so scared that I am getting ready to lose everything. I have a 12 yr old honor student and I don't want her to have to change schools, which will happen if we lose our home. Any help would be appreciated, Food, Money, or good paying job in teh Emerald Isle, NC area.

help with utilities

Posted by kcmother on 2011-12-14 10:58:43

I am a mother of three, two are mine and I took one in when she was six years old. this has been a rough year in november 2010 i had an ablation on my heart which was unsuccessful. I had to quit working in july because of my health, my dics have bulged into my sciatic nerve which makes it hard to do anything. I have used up my savings and trying to make it to tax refund time. If anyone has it in their heart to help it would be greatly appreciated. I am not asking for gifts as my children understand being together is more important. Thank you.

Good person in bad times. Need money, but mostly prayers.

Posted by tomqwerty0 on 2011-12-01 19:58:38

I don't really like asking others for help because I have always thought I could do things on my own. I learned that this is just not true, at least for myself. I learned this by fighting my addiction to pain medications. I tried to quit countless times with out help and was unsuccessful. Close to death I went to treatment for my addiction in May of 2010. I stayed the recomended 90 days and chose to stay an additional 5 months. The good news is that I was able to do it with help. I just had to be willing to ask for it. I am now trying to get back to my job in the pharmacy feild. As you may guess, there are a lot of hurdles to jump with my situation and feild of my profession, but I truly enjoy it and think I am good at it. Hopefully I will be able to go back to work within the next year. Until I do, I could greatly use any support and prayers I could get. Thank you

family crisis

Posted by susannahg on 2011-10-31 02:58:19

Hello to all the kind-hearted, generous Begslist Donors. I am here asking for help with my family crisis. I have been out of work for just over a year, with many, many unsuccessful applications. I am a single mother of a beautiful son. I am a visual artist with a Fine Arts degree. I hope to pursue post-graduate studies in the near future. I am a hard worker and am determined to find work. 4 weeks ago I broke my ankle and had to have surgery. I am recovering well, though it has been difficult. As a consequence of not working for a year, my financial situation is utterly dire. I am seriously behind in all my amenities bills with disconnection pending notices, and every 2nd week this past year, there is virtually no food in my fridge or pantry, which causes much distress and anxiety for my son and I. My washing machine is dying and I have no means to replace it. We are so worn down by this and my broken ankle was like the last straw! I would be forever grateful to anyone who assists me by donating. I am an honest, responsible, resourceful and frugal person. Many thanks.

help for medical bills

Posted by needy225 on 2011-10-14 07:58:35

My family has multiple medical bills that we cannot pay down. I lost my job last month and my wife has a low paying job. We cannot pay our medical bills, $18,000, because of our low paying jobs, we can barely afford food. About $7,000 is for our daughter's birth. My wife is native American, and she was promised by the Indian health service that her pre natal care and birth were paid for, but they ended up not paying. We tried to get her on Medicaid, but they said it was too late and we were stuck with the bill we couldn't pay. Last year my gallbladder shut down. I had to have surgery, and with the insurance I had they paid about half, leaving me with $11,000 in hospital bills. I've been trying to find a new job, but have been unsuccessful. Things are hard out there for me, but I try every day. Please someone help us with our burden, $18,000 may not seem like much to some, but to us who scrape by little, it sure is alot.

Unemployed for 7 months and URGENTLY needs help.

Posted by begu2011 on 2011-08-07 07:58:44

I'm struggling to find a job in London for 7 months and I tried everything from applying for a care work to cash in hand such as cleaning jobs but it was unsuccessful because I failed because I didn't met the employers requirements.

Before, I applied in one health care agency and they promised that they can offer shifts anywhere in London. I really did my best to meet their requirements like undergo a lot of trainings, health and CRB checks and of course all of those things needs a payment. After I met those requirements and already registered in this agency, I asked them if they can already give me a shift and then they told me that they don't have any vacancies for care workers in London at the moment. NHS and Nursing homes cut their employees because of crisis. I know that this is happening but they must do something about for their staff's work placement. I trusted them because they are affiliated different agencies so they can cater all the applicants everywhere but it all went wrong.

After hearing the agency's explanation,it was like oh my God! I should have spend my money in applying in other care homes or home care agencies that requires no or less application fees and I felt almost crying and I felt that I don't have anywhere to go because I can't afford to pay for my expenses like rent, food, phone credits and expenses to support my studies. All of my savings just went in job searching and I cannot ask for public funds and support in UK because I'm not a UK citizen and I'm only a student.

I'm really eager to finish what I have started in UK and I don't want to return to my home country yet and bring shame to my family. I was hoping that the qualification and experiences that I have gain in the UK will give a lot of opportunities when I return to my country. I don't want to leave it undone.

I have already a lot of debts and I ask for financial help to some of friends and I'm really embarrassed when I'm asking for money from them. I know that they prioritize their families and themselves first and they are not always there to help me.

Until now I still fighting to have a job in UK and would not resort to any illegal activities. I hope that there is still a chance for me and hoping that there some kind people that will offer me help either a job or donation.

Thank you.

I CAN'T SEE AND MY CHILDREN NEED DENTAL CHECK-UPS

Posted by PBJEmerson on 2011-07-04 16:58:52

I FOUND THIS WEBSITE TODAY OUT OF DESPERATION. IT'S VERY, VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO ASK FOR HELP; TO ADMIT I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN ON MY OWN ANYMORE. BUT I TRULY NEED HELP NOW. I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH A BAD DIVORCE FOR 5 YEARS NOW. IT'S BEEN SO DIFFICULT ON MY CHILDREN. THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS AND THEY CERTAINLY DON'T DESERVE IT. WE HAD A NICE HOME AND GOOD JOBS, BUT MY KIDS BARELY REMEMBER THOSE DAYS. ALL THEY KNOW IS THE CONSTANT STRUGGLE TO COME UP WITH ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, FOOD...THINGS OTHER PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A JOB, BUT UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $200.00 FOR ANY EYE EXAM AND A SUITABLE PAIR OF GLASSES OR CONTACTS. I'M NEARSIGHTED AND MY VISION IS VERY POOR. IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE, BUT I DO IT DURING THE DAY WHEN IT'S NECESSARY. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. MY TWO SONS ALSO NEED DESPERATELY TO GO TO THE DENTIST. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN 6 YEARS. MY OLDEST SON (HE'S 13) TOLD ME YESTERDAY HE IS HAVING PAIN AND LOSING A PART OF HIS GUM WHERE HIS WISDOM TEETH ARE COMING IN. IT WILL COST ME AT LEAST $200.000 EACH TO HAVE THEIR TEETH CLEANED AND X-RAYS. I KNOW THEY WILL ALSO NEED THEIR WISDOM TEETH REMOVED SOON. I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE IN THE SAME SITUATION THAT I'M IN...I'M 42 AND I STILL HAVE MY WISDOM TEETH. I HAVE A LOT OF PAIN SOMETIMES, BUT THE RISKS INVOLVED IN HAVING REMOVED ARE TOO GREAT.

Trying and just can't make it

Posted by pleasemdh39 on 2011-06-20 19:58:00

I am a single mother of a 10 year old son. I have been struggling for the past 3 years since my divorce. I also had my own business from 2004 to 2007 but after my mom who was my rock, my best friend suddenly past I lost motivation and hate myself for that every day. I closed the business and went back to working for someone else. Started at 15/hr with the agreement they would increase my pay as time went on to get me where I needed to be. Instead, management changed and they cut my pay to $12.50. I was forced to look for another job which I did and currently making $14.41/hr. I only get $180 a month child support and although everyone tells me to go back to court for more money I am scared. My ex-husband does make very good money however, I have no family here to help me and his Mom picks my son up from school and keeps him during the summer so I am afraid if I try to go back to court for more $$ they will not help me anymore. I have had to get loans to pay bills so just added to my problem but had no choice if did not want utilities shut off. I am smart and capable of so much its just finding a job that will pay me what I am worth that is impossible and so frustrating and depressing. I also would like to go back to school but then how would I pay my rent, utilities and other loans? I don't have credit cards because of my credit due to the divorce but I do have 3 loans with high interest. I know that it could be much worse and a lot of people are in way worse situations, I just thought I would try this out because I don't know what else to do. I have tried for better jobs but the area I live in, just don't pay well.I am also looking for a less expensive place to live, and that has been so unsuccessful and I really don't want to have my son living in an unsafe place or dirty place either. It's just all rediculous and I don't know what I have done to deserve all of this struggle. I am a good person and would do anything for anyone. So, I figured I would try this out. May not seem so bad to some but the stress of not knowing from pay check to paycheck if I am going to be able to get the utilities, rent and loans paid is just very stressful and worst of all having to say no to my son all the time because I never have any money is awful.

Creditless Needing To Finish School

Posted by pipi on 2011-06-16 10:58:34

Hello! I need to pay for my last four classes to finish my Associates Degree in Health Care Administration. It will cost me $6000 to do so. I have tried everything to get the money including trying to find a second job so that I could use that money for the classes. I have been unsuccessful in all of my efforts. I have even tried to go to the military to be able to finish my degree while serving my country. I was turned down because I already have the student loans. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! -Creditless

Please help me pay bills, continue school, and care for husband!

Posted by delicacy on 2011-06-11 12:58:38

I'm in my mid 20s and am a business major. I've made the Dean's List both freshman semesters and am now a sophomore. I started college after I had been laid off for a year and was unsuccessful at finding another job. My husband is a disabled vet from the army and cannot work. Due to recent changes in his benefits we aren't able to pay all our bills, one of which is payments towards my education. We also will have to cut down on the number of times I take my husband to his medical appointments. I've been looking since the start of the year for employment as I knew this day would come, but so far have only had 2 interviews and no one has hired me. Any help would be appreciated, money or a job (even temporary). Thank you to any who offer any sort of help!
I would like to tell you a story that relates to why I am asking for help.
My father was a Vietnam vet who proudly enlisted into the army to serve his country. After willingly serving two tours of duty, he came home and married my mother (his high school sweetheart) and started a family consisting of me and my two older sisters.
When I was four, my father began experiencing difficulties with his legs and feet. After many unsuccessful operations, it was determined that he was losing the bone density in his legs and he was put in a wheelchair.
My father was an amazing man; he never let his being in a wheelchair keep him down. He climbed Pike's Peak twice and Mount Evans once in his wheelchair, one of his climbs was filmed by a local TV show in Colorado called P.M. Magazine. We have the video footage on beta and are trying to find a way to convert it to DVD. I would love to share his story with anyone wanting to watch it. It shows what a courageous man he was. It was a heartbreaking climb over rough terrain and sometimes he had to strap his wheelchair to his ankles and drag it while he scooted up steep inclines on his backside. It never deterred him. He had more strength and determination than any man I have ever met in my life. He also ran marathons in his wheelchair and spoke to other handicapped and disabled individuals to help them realize that although someone may be hindered, it just means that they learn to function differently. "I may be in a wheelchair, but the wheelchair isn't in me," he used to say.
In 1987, when I was 12, the harsh weather conditions of Colorado became unbearable for my father and we moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico.
My father was never granted disability in Colorado or New Mexico and while he fought for 30 years for his pension from the Army, he never received that either (the common story of we can't seem to find your files even though my father repeatedly submitted his paperwork to show his contribution to our country). As a result, my mother found herself working 2 full time jobs just to support us and we still barely made ends meet.
We grew up poor our entire lives, but we understood what it was like to be rich in other ways. Our family was close and we knew that, no matter how rough things could be at times, that we really did have each other. My sisters and I grew very close over the time when we had no electricity and only had each other to listen to because we didn't have the power for television and radio. We are still very close to this day. I will never regret how we grew up, even with the struggles, because it was the foundation of who we are today. We all learned how to be kind and unselfish and value each other. Both my sisters and I all have our own children and work hard to instill the same values in them.
In 2000, my father was diagnosed with lung cancer as a result of being subjected to Agent Orange while in Vietnam. The tumors were visible in both lungs and nothing could be done. He passed away one week after the diagnosis. We had no time to prepare and certainly no time to say goodbye.

My mother now lives in PA in a cute little Amish town. She has since remarried a wonderful man named Jack. He is also a Vietnam veteran.

My sisters and I still live in New Mexico with our families, although my heart is definitely on the east coast with my mother.
A short time after my mother moved to PA, she got a
job as a nurse. She loved helping other people as she had done all her life. Unfortunately, she suffered a fall that left her with permanent neck and spinal injuries. After going through her own numerous surgeries, she was unable to continue the work that she loved so much. The tables have turned from when we were growing up where she was the only source of income and Jack has been the sole provider for the last several years.
Recently, Jack began to feel very ill and it looks like the effects of Agent Orange have done their damage once again. He is suffering from skin cancer and stage 4 prostate cancer and after going through a series of tests, the probability of also having lymphoma is very high. My mother is going through the same horror once again and while my sisters and I are grown, losing a father to Agent Orange for the second time isn't easy on the heart.
A few years ago, my mother lost both parents and her only sibling, a brother, in the span of four months. She has nobody and I can't bear to leave her alone while she suffers physically and emotionally.
Unfortunately, I lost my job a couple months ago due to layoffs and have had extreme difficulty finding another source of income. Las Cruces is a small city with very limited opportunity. While I worked in the same profession for the past 11 years, I have applied for any and every type of job I could find.
We are struggling to find a way to move close to my mother so that I can take care of her and so she won't be alone if she loses Jack. My sisters and I are the only family she has left and I want nothing more than to be there for her.

I am hoping to find a job there very quickly and I would also love to attend schooling and get my degree in forensics. It has been a dream of mine to be able to assist in solving crime related cases. I firmly believe that I can accomplish my career goals and help my mother if I were in a state with far more job opportunities.
We have never been comfortable financially and my 2 teenage boys understand what it is like to do without the things they want in exchange for just the things they need, much like my sisters and I when we were growing up. I have always wanted more for my kids than to see them grow up here in a high poverty state. I believe the job opportunities and schooling for them will be equally beneficial. They both already have career minded goals that will take them farther in a bigger state.

It has been 4 years since I've seen my mother as neither of us can afford the expense of a trip.

All I am requesting is enough assistance to be able to move my family closer to my mother and locate a house to rent while I search for a job. I am only asking for short term support as I know that I am capable of supporting my own family and I am certain that I will be able to find gainful employment in a short time.
