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?

Thank You so very much for your help. Heres my story. I am in my early 30s. I am a mother of two loving kids ages 4 and 9. My husband moved out a year ago after a bout of depression, stating "I love you thats why I cant stand to stay here n watch you die like this!" And it is true anyone who has watched a loved one waste away before thier eyes can tell you it eats your soul. In a way I cant blame him. I have hopes we will someday get our family back together. Untill then I am in this alone, and now find my self here asking you for help.
I have several cronic illnesses. Including scoliosis:Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, the cause of most scoliosis is unknown. My scoliosis curve got worse, the spine rotated and twisted, in addition to curving side to side. This caused the ribs on one side of the body to stick out farther than on the other side. Severe scoliosis can caused back pain and difficulty breathing. In my case In severe scoliosis, the rib cage may press against the lungs and heart, making it more difficult to breathe and harder for the heart to pump.I also experience harsh neurological affects of Muscle weakness, Numbness and Abnormal reflexes. To save my life I had to have surgery.
Surgery involves correcting the curve (although not all the way) and fusing the bones in the curve together. The surgeon lays bone grafts across the exposed surface of each vertebra. These grafts will regenerate, grow into the bone, and fuse the vertebrae together. The bones are held in place with one or two metal rods held down with hooks and screws, helping to support the fusion of the vertebrae.I went through all this at age 13. But now with the onset of sevral more cronic illness complication from the surgery that once saved my life now slowly kill me.
Years later I began getting sicker and sicker by the time I was 20 my spine was degenerating causing horrible pain, I had to have my appendix removed, then gallblader went bad. We never dreamed these all had a common factor. Doctors just shook their head proclaiming :you are just so young for your body to be failing like this". Eventually it was discovered I have Lupus and severe arthritus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the body' s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy organs and tissue. Lupus can affect any part of the body, causing inflammation and damage in joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, or the brain. More than 90% of people with lupus have skin rashes, often triggered by exposure to the sun, and about half have kidney and lung problems. Because lupus affects the joints, it is considered a rheumatic (arthritis) disease.
Upon this discovery things began to make sense. So doctors now knowing why began a body wide check up to see what all has been affected. One test was A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are present in a section of your bone. Your health care provider uses this test, along with other risk factors, to predict your risk of bone fractures in the future and detect osteoporosis. Bone fracture risk is highest in people with osteoporosis. They found I indeed had osteoporosis at the age of 22. SO now My bones are weaking causing damage areas all over my body, but the most serious being in my spine. Now comes the arthritis/lupus, they see these damaged areas and my own imune system attacks. Eating at the damaged areas creating even more damage, which increases the area the lupus attacks. It is a vicious circle. I have now been treated with medication over 10 yrs. But they can only slow the illness there is no cure, and dure to my scoliosis and the metal rods in my back surgical treatment options are very limited.
The damage is so severe I was decared legally disabled by the age of 23. My only income is SSI. I have to support my children and I on 658.00 a month. Thank God the court issued my ex to pay my rent in lue of child support. I am asking for help to cover upcoming medical bills. In the last 14 months I have had 5 seperate kidney surgery. My right kidney is damaged and I will soon be having a 6th surgery. This one to remove damaged section of the tube that leads from the kidney to bladder. then they will reattach at a higher section of bladder. I will aslo be having several Jaw surgeries. Due to exposure to radiation, osteoperosis a excessive vomiting of stomache acid my teeth are breaking and falling out. The doctor needs to repair what they can and put in inplants for what they cant. This will slow the degineration of my jaw. Without this treatment my jaw is going to cave in. Currently I am only able to eat mushy foods. I have drastically lost weight and my body is stuggling to heal due to the stress, pain and infection. So I hunbly beg of you to help me 1.00 or 50.00 anything would help. These procedures will not only improve my quality of life but aslo help extend my time here on earth just a little ehile longer. I just want to be with my kids as long as I can.Whith each dollar you donate its like adding an hour to my life.....What would you give for a few more hours with the ones you love?

Hello I'm a young hardworking freshman college student, that is about to be completely on my own. I Just found my own place. I work a part time job that pays minimum wage I barely make enough to pay my upcoming rent for my efficiency. I'm not to sure at this point if I can attend school next semester because I have financial holds on my tuition account. I would more then appreciate any kind of help. It would mean a lot if I can be the first in my family to not only attend college but to be able to have the opportunity to finish it. I have some of the biggest dreams but very little money to kick them off and get my life rolling. I appreciate your time for listening and helping.

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

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

Sincerely,

Shirley Lucas

Hi. I am in my last semester in College. Money is less than tight. I have no idea how I will be able to pay rent for upcoming months let alone money for food. I just want to get through these next few months, graduate and then I can move back home and be ok. Anything will help. 1,000$ would change my life and make me so happy! I would obviously appreciate anything that can be offered. Thanks for reading :) Take care.

Recently moved to Tennessee. Have job working in hotel, which is low pay. Three unexpected visits to dentist for wife have cost over one thousand dollars. This has resulted in basically no Christmas and I am at a loss on how to pay upcoming bills? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy Holidays to you.

I am seeking an appointment for counseling about delaying an upcoming eviction from my home. My case's facts:
1. I am 56 years old, never married, lives alone, no family.
2. Lived in my six floor walk-up apartment since Jan 15 1978. My name has always been on the Lease  Contract. 
3. Last full time job ended September 19, 2008. Unemployment ran out. Found two temporary jobs one in 2010 and another in 2011. Presently, actively seeking employment.
4. I have 18 years in Print Production, Plus 8 years in Print Sales - all in NYC.
Totally 26 years as a Commerical Printer. I have a BA from the College of Wooster. Website: http://woosteralumni.org
And I am definitely employable. I have good health. I get a fair amount of good job interviews. Have been very actively seeking employment of any kind. Still no work.
5. Savings are gone and no family help.
6. October and November's rents are unpaid.

I was hoping one can help me sort through what options I have. Possibly what grants/aids I can apply to for assistance. And/or help in delaying an eviction until employment comes into place. 

Things have been really rough at home. My girlfriend has recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and been put on preventative medication to slow development. Shortly after our roommate gave her month's notice that she would be vacating. Our cat has also had some recent medical problems. We are behind on utilities. Our vehicle registration was up in June and has not yet been paid. We've been pawning off items and borrowing small amounts of money from family but we haven't been able to get out of this rut yet. All of this has led to us being unsure if we'll be able to pay this upcoming month's rent. Any help would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated and, once out of this mess, I intend to pay it forward. Please help us.

I don't want to go into a VERY long, sad, unfortunate story as I know so many people are in my situation. I'm just thinking so many people use pay pal, and even if you don't you can still use it VERY easily, to send spare change even. Any any any money literally even 1 Cent I will greatly appreciate. And if you'd like I'll keep your information and reimburse you when things turn around.

Thank you all and I'm sure as I've helped out oh so many in their time of need, even strangers, it will be returned. Even in difficult times I have a lot of faith in people still.

And thank you to all for taking the time to read this. I wish everyone a happy, healthy upcoming holiday season.

I am a hardworking mother of 2 and have recently began losing the race with our economy. My childrens fathers do not contribute financially and so I carry the full load. I have a steady job but never get over 30 hours a week. Im currently $200 negative in my bank account, Im 2 months late on rent, my utilities are behind, my vehicle is now in need of 2 new tires before it can be driven, my wages are getting garnished for medical bills,my kids healthcare coverage has been terminated because the post office failed to forward important documents to me that were time sensitive and thats just the tip of the iceberg. I have $5 to my name, no food and no transportation to work for the upcoming week. If anyone has anything help to offer even $1 that can afford to donate, please consider this request. Im not asking for handouts while I sit around doing nothing, Im asking for help as a hardworking mother who just needs to get caught up and back on top again.

Dear friends,

Recently I was let go from my job. It's been about a month since I have had any income coming in. I had to leave my apartment and move back in with my parents as I could not pay my rent. This has just made it harder on my parents with the extra money on food they are spending. I try to help them with what I can, mostly with work around the house to help. I am constantly looking for work with no luck. It has finally come to my realization that I can't pay my upcoming phone bill, insurance, credit cards all which are at max, or for the money I need to pay to my college so I can finally go back to school. As of now I am not receiving unemployment and don't know if I'm going to be able to qualify or not. Even if I do it's only going to be enough to pay for maybe my insurance. I've recently posted some of my items on ebay and craigslist to sell just so I can pick at the debt I'm in.

Hello, everyone. I'm a neuroscience undergraduate student at a top fifteen school who is scheduled to graduate this upcoming May. I have a 3.82 GPA at this time and have been involved in research, community-service, and leadership activities during my undergraduate years. I plan on starting my application to medical school this next cycle, but I need to figure out a way to pay for it. Paying for college has been very hard for my family for several reasons: My family is originally from Latin America and so has not had much of a chance to build a savings cushion. In addition, even though both of my parents (divorced) make a decent amount of money, my dad decided to not contribute towards my tuition (he wanted me to attend a school that was closer to him), which left the burden of a $42000/yr tuition on the shoulders of my mother (I've contributed as much as possible). Unfortunately, I have not received financial aid because my school doesn't recognize these circumstances, even though I gave them a signed letter from my father stating his intentions. I want to go to medical school -- I've enjoyed every minute of the time that I've spent shadowing physicians --, but I don't want to burden my mother financially any longer. I respectfully ask for a donation to help me move closer towards my dream of becoming a physician. Any amount will help my cause and will be appreciated tremendously.

I am looking for some cash to continue to play in some upcoming World Poker Tour tournaments. The restaurant I managed for 17 years was sold a few months ago and I have used up all of my recent winnings this summer as my wife is a teacher, therefore not getting a paycheck in the summer. Thanks for your consideration. Please email Rgrif88572@hotmail.com if interested.

Well, I'm not quite sure where to start with this post. I will tell you a little bit about my situation. I am a 25 year old female who has almost completed my bachelors degree in Criminology and am hoping to go for my masters degree next year.
I grew up in a dysfunctional household so chaos is not a new thing for myself or my family. However, I consider myself to be different and believe that I have a purpose in life and that is to help others.

In May of this year (the beginning of my semester) my life had turned upside down. I was going through extreme family issues earlier this year as my brother has mental health issues as well as drug/alcohol dependency issues. Nevertheless, I had managed to cope with family situations and tried my best to be strong and focus on my own life ( a difficult thing to do when you are always worried about others). On the evening of may 12th I was settling in to bed when I received a phone call from one of my sisters that my other sister had been rushed to the hospital. I had quickly come to the emergency room to find that she had overdosed on many prescription pills. I had waited in emergency for two hours not knowing at all what was happening. The RN informed me that they had to just let the drugs go through her system and it was a waiting game. By the time they had told me, it was about 2 in the morning. I got a ride home from one of her friends, however five minutes later I got a text from my sister in law (brother's wife) to call 9-1-1. I called the police and we drove to my brother's house. I had walked in and there was blood everywhere.I couldn't tell what who's blood it was. I was in shock. To make this short, both of my siblings had attempted suicide in the same evening. My sister was put on life support and my brother was put in psych. This night has left me traumatized to say the least.
I had to take the rest of the semester off however it was too late to get a refund on my tuition. I know that I am still dealing with the trauma of what happened that night/early morning. I guess It was the straw that broke the camel's back. My doctor had recommended that I took a break until September to avoid stress. I am working hard towards healing in every way possible. I have found a new job that starts on August 2nd to help pay for my tuition for this September, however I am still struggling as this much needed mental break has taken a toll on my finances. I had not prepared myself for this kind of situation.
The only thing I can do at this point is focus on getting out of the darkness.I would love to go back to finish my degree in September so I can move on with my life. I want to help others who are in these types of situation because many people were such a huge support for me. If you could help pay for any of my tuition for this upcoming semester I promise to pay it forward whenever I can in life. I know this is a long shot. I don't expect much but miracles happen every day. I can provide proof of my schooling, gpa, and tuition fees or anything else you would like to know. Anything will help at this point. If you have read this far, thanks for taking the time to read this.


Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Emily (Vancouver, BC Canada)

Thank you for your time. Hello, I am 22 years old right now i am unemployed. I am Married to a beautiful young lady whom I love with all of my heart, that is 9months pregnant. but right now I feel like an incompetent husband, and i dont want to be a dead beat dad.
I started working for a local company where i would have been working 40hrs a week plus voluntary weekend overtime. after about a week working there My foreman asked me to work thie upcoming saturday. I had to decline due to the fact I was schedualed to minister at a neighboring county's Juvenile center. When I told him that i already had previous plans and let him know it was an every other weekend arrangment he replied to me " You can either Keep your Job or go off and Preach" Still I felt my ministry was more important. Then I went back to apologize to him to let him know i would be available the next weekend he told me that I shouldnt make plans like this because to work in this company you had to work weekends. When I told him the HR hired me with the understanding weekends were voluntary he said she should not have told me that and it wasnt true and the schedual was about to be changed to 7 days a week mandatory! The following day i met with the HR and she in a kind way told me that the information she gave me was partially correct. I in return told her (in a christian manner) that i had to respectfully give a resignation because there is no way i could work every weekend I was already only seeing my wife 1hr a day if that. I figured i could have another job in about 3 weeks and we could live off of the little bit of money for the month! now 2 months later i live with my parents in a 3 bedroom trailer. This is not the situation i want to bring my baby boy into! Right now my wife and I are taking a financial course yet have no money to manage! I am in debt up to my eyeballs and m y parents are just as stripped. I am humbly asking for someone to please help me! I promise i will pay my tithes and offering 1st. You could be an answer to my prayer. Thank you and GOD BLESS!

Hi! I'm Jen, 19 years of age, residing at the Philippines I need to go to South Korea to be a part of the overseas visiting group- international conference.

There will be 150 delegates from different countries in South East Asia . 25 delegates will be coming from the Philippines , and fortunately I was given the chance to be one of the delegates to represent our country.

The conference will be held on September 6 to 16, 2010 , there are many activities prepared for us, bible study, religious trips, visit to the history museum and training institute etc. We need not to worry about anything when we get there. They will take care of everything including our lodgings, foods and other needs. The only thing that we need to prepare is plane ticket.

I need your kind support. The fare to South Korea costs 25,000. I’m looking for sponsors who can contribute 5,000, 7,000 or any amount that can help me buy the plane ticket. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Because of the upcoming holiday, the flight to Korea is in high demand. So I am hoping and praying that I can be able to reserve a ticket before the month (August) ends.

The main office allow only few people from different parts of the world to represent their country to visit Korea, they are receiving thousands of application and only people who have great desire and who are commendable were chosen.

Words cannot express how happy I am, because finally the way was opened for me. This is once in a lifetime opportunity and it might be my first and last chance.

I am so eager to represent our country.

I am really hoping for your kind support and prayers so that my dream of coming to Korea and to represent our country can come true.



Thank you very much and God bless.

Hi, I am a 30 year old, single mom, of three wonderful children. I have been able to raise these children just fine on my own, and am not asking for help...for them. I on the other hand, have had an economical setback with my job cutting hours. I am not wallowing in this set back, but seeing it as an oppurtunity to return to school. I have attended the local Community College for 6 months/one semester, and do not qualify for financial aid but I do need money (other financial assistance) for gas money, college tuition, study books, scan trons, and other college costs for the upcoming semester. If you could help out with $1., or $5., or hopefully more. I would be grateful beyond belief and I would still be able to be a functioning adult trying to improve my future and the future of my children.

Hi, I'm Chris, I am 23, an employed college student & I live in southern California.

I am currently living in the Irvine area w/my family. My family is poor to the point of being destitute. I literally do not eat breakfast or lunch since we either do not have food or the food is of such low quality it will make me physically ill to eat it. I buy & only drink distilled water from a local market because it is the only clean source of water available due to contaminants in the public water system as well as the public water is mostly unfiltered reclaimed runoff water.

Educationally I am currently a student that wishes to study culinary arts but is forced to learn networking protocols due to lack of funding. Culinary schools are a specialty school which require a lot of money to attend. I am training for my CCNA+Linux Admin Certs at a local community college.

My first job was to a physician doing medical claims billing part time. This position had me mostly behind a terminal looking at a blinking monitor keeping track of patient records. Starting $8/hr end 9.50/hr. After leaving due to hours being cutback I got a temp job for a company collecting on medical leins. That didn't work out, so a couple months later got a job as a part of the Technical services dept at UCI medical center. Due to having a personal falling out with my parents at the time I was supposed to be hired, I was kicked out. Unable to go to the interview without a car I missed the opportunity until several months later when the position was needed to be filled again. At this point the project that the position was for had already been completed & the final checks were being done. The position only lasted 3 weeks. $15/hr for doing desktop support @ UCI medical center.

After working at UCI a "friend" of mine whom I've known since freshman year of high school told me he could get me a job at his work. Of course after several months of hearing nothing back I realize its just more of the So-cal area bullshit I am so used to.

Since then I have been hired as a model. The agency is setup so that the company accepts models which the models pay into a certain amount ($30) for the service of being sent information on potential upcoming modeling jobs(underwear ads, online catalog modeling etc).

Throughout all of this I've never made enough money to live independently from family financial support due to the unreasonably high cost of living in this area. $800 - $1200 to rent an APARTMENT. $500 - $900 to rent a SINGLE ROOM, NO GUESTS/GF. This amount may or many not include utilities.

The point of the post is to get help. Help by getting donations to help me start a home business in the style of the cottage industry. I have a small business opportunity I could start with $800-$1000 investment that would start me off on the path to independence. Through this I would be selling a specialized product which should net me an income of 3k per month which would allow me to reinvest into the business & provide me with financial independence until I am able to attend a nice Culinary University.

My dream is to be able to attend a nice cooking school & learn to be a skilled Chef.

tl;dr = 23 year old starting a business with an $800 start up cost. Looking for donations to reach my goal.

(Current job only pays bills which leaves no money to save/invest.)


For some reason the site wont accept the E-mail from paypal donation button so I put a link.

Thank for for any donations, I will start my business asap and help those in need when I stabilize.

I'm on unemployment and my savings has vanished.
Am part of a union and since Mr President has been misunderstood everytime he opened his mouth regarding Las Vegas the work picture here has gone down hill.
Getting far behind on my rent, made a partial payment for last month but now the new month is approaching and still dont have the remaining for last month and the upcoming months rent. It sucks.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hello my name is Phillip. I am currently a 21 year old struggling college student trying to pay for the rest of my school. I am a junior at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. I have accumulated over 7,000 in credit credit card debt just trying to pay for books and tuition. I currently work a full time job as well as trying to pay my bills and what ever is left I put towards my education and try to help people less as fortunate before I help myself. I have no more money or credit I can pay for the upcoming semester. Anything will help and I would greatly appreciate it very very much.

Thank You

We've both been on Social Security Disability for about four years now; me just a year after we bought our house, and we've been working part time from our home to supplement the SSD income because obviously SSD is not enough to keep the bills paid and keep our house.

We don't use credit cards, scrimp on every dime, shop at the outlet stores and liquidation stores to spend less. We switched phone services to Magic Jack to save hundreds on our phone bill and use our wood stove for heat to cut down on the electric bill.

2009's economy simply tanked my husband's business and put us over $15K in debt, plus put a crush on my transcription business at the same time, leaving us without our savings and driving us further in debt with the bank.

I started two new businesses last year to offset the transcription business and before everything started to fall apart, and what I really need is SALES - I need TRAFFIC to my websites and I need to sell my bookmarks to help bring us back out of debt.

My husband is still trying to get his business back but it's not looking too hopeful because the economy hasn't completely turned around.

So more than just money, I'm "cyber-begging" or "virtually panhandling" for SALES! Although donations of cash if you don't like the bookmarks are greatly appreciated too.

Visit our bookmarks site at www.wedding-favor-bookmarks.com and purchase a set of bookmarks for yourself, for a friend, for an upcoming wedding or bridal shower as favors, or simply donate to help us get our business off the ground at Donate to Wedding Favor Bookmarks Directory.

Thank you!
