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.

That is exactly where I am at right now. I have been married as of April twenty-one years to a man that was verbally and mentally abusive. Yes, I put up with it for all those years which is for me to deal with but it did make me burn out finally. There are friends that have asked me how I put up with it and I don't know. Anywho, I have made it through this month which is six months and the divorce still won't be final for a while since there are details about the property that are up in the air for now but have ended up turning my finances upside down to the point I cannot even get gas to do my work. I have sold things and did everything possible to keep going but I am worn out from even that. I need any change you can spare so that I can get turned back around and be able to put things back on track.

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

I have been married for 2 1/2 years to an abusive drunk. I was a teacher in another state for 11 years and moved to Ohio to get married and start a new life. Almost immediately, I realized I had made a mistake. He drinks heavily and is verbally and physically abusive. I often find myself locked in a bedroom with our cat, who he also threatens to kill. I have slept in my car, in cheap hotels and on friend's couches.
I want to leave and go back to the state where I taught before moving here, but cannot afford it. I am in need of $1500 to buy a plane ticket and to help pay my bills until I can find a job.
I am currently working a min wage job and want can barely pay my bills (student loans, credit cards, insurance, living expenses)and can't afford to leave. I am desperate, scared and tired of living this way. I want out, but have no place to go and no money to do it and wouldn't be on here unless it was a last resort. I can provide a police report from when he was arrested for domestic violence if you want proof of my situation.
Please, if you can find any way to help me, I would be so grateful. When I get out, I would pay back by serving in the community I move to. I currently volunteer at our local cat shelter and would do that in my new city, as well as work in the soup kitchen and find other service opportunities. I believe in paying it forward.

I was married for 4 years to a person who had lied to me about his past and identity. He told me his wife before me was pregnant and killed by a drunk driver, he went to Texas A&M, and that he had earned medals serving as a marine. NONE of it was true. He deserted his first wife as he did me. He never went to college and he ordered medals off the internet. He used my SSN to open an AMEX card online and ran it up into thousands and thousands. I didn't know it existed. My father had to pay it to keep me out of serious trouble. He became physically and verbally violent. Pushed me out of a car on the interstate, held a gun to my head..scared me. I kept everything hidden from the world around me. Tried to keep up my appearance smiling. I tried to get him mental help but he only vanished on me. The divorce was exhausting. I am a first grade teacher, well respected in the community, and it took all I had to get up every morning for my children. I need some money to help me get back into life. Get on my feet. Afford some professional help to heal and move forward, forgive, forget, stop crying and fearing life and people, pay off debt...and to just lift all this burden and be happy again. I just want to be happy and stop crying every morning and night. I can't stand it anymore. I must move forward.

My name is Missy. I am a 49 year old struggling grandmother of 3 sweet, beautiful boys, ages 5, 7 and 8. I am trying desperately to save and protect my grandsons and ensure their futures. I would not ask help if it were only for me. I am asking for help for them, so that my 3 innocent little grandsons will be safe, secure and have a chance in life. As things stand right now, we will be homeless within the next 2 weeks.
My greatest fear is that when (not if) I do become homeless, which isn’t that far off, the state will take my grandsons because we have no place to live, split them up and put them in foster homes. That thought scares the hell out of me. I am all those sweet little boys have. And if they lose each other too, after losing everyone and everything else that they known and loved, I fear their lives will be ruined at the tender ages of 5, 7 and 8.
I suffer from PTSD, COPD and fibromyalgia and each day I struggle with mental distress and physical pain. We live near the New Orleans Metro Area in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. We were displaced for a year after Hurricane Katrina, came back, bought a mobile home in Lafitte, Louisiana and tried to rebuild our lives. In 2008, when Hurricanes Gustav and Ike hit us back to back, our home was flooded with more than 4 feet of water; unreachable, except by boat for over 2 weeks.
At that time, my mother, age 75, had been experiencing the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s as well as a series of strokes which affected the memory and impulse control centers of her brain due to a vascular disease which severely decreased the flow of blood to those areas of her brain. During these TIA’s and small strokes/seizures, she behaved erratically and during larger ones she could become paranoid and psychotic. She had to be hospitalized for several of the more severe episodes, as she was becoming a danger to herself and others. The effects of these episodes lingered for days, sometimes weeks. Afterwards, she had no memory of anything that happened during that time period.
After the storms, we moved in with my mother to help her and because we did, FEMA stopped helping us. And since we could not afford to rebuild again without FEMA’s help, we lost our home. The recent BP oil spill was just another deep blow to our already struggling local economy.
Mom required 24/7/365 assistance and supervision, which she could not afford. She was eventually diagnosed with vascular disease of the brain and Alzheimer’s. Due to the region of her brain that was affected her disease went unnoticed for several years, until she had a large enough stroke to prompt her to seek medical attention. This diagnosis explained her erratic behavior of the past several years, I have since been homebound, unable to leave mom untended for any length of time and unable to work outside the home due to my mother’s need for the past 3 years.
My mother passed away this past April at the age of 79. She had suffered from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, suffering several major and minor strokes and seizures over the past 6+ years. On April 9th she suffered a massive stroke, lingering for 9 days before passing on the 18th. God rest her soul, I miss her. I loved my mom very much and did everything I could to help her.
To add to the difficulties already faced by our loss, my youngest daughter, who had been living in Ohio with what turned out to be a conman/ junkie twice her age that saw a vulnerable young woman with 3 children and took advantage of that fact, had been physically, verbally and emotionally abusive to all of them for the past 1½ years. 2 weeks before Mom passed, she got in major legal trouble in Ohio and sent my 3 young grandsons to me to raise.
Now, things have turned for the worst... On August 17th we discovered that my eldest daughter took my mother to an attorney and had her write a will leaving everything my mother had to her and excluding me! This abominable act was done 1 month after Hurricane Katrina when ALL of us were distraught and displaced from the storm! My mom was not in her right mind at that time, even though a full diagnosis had not yet been made on her true condition.... Also, in Louisiana, the bar for mental competency is set so low that so long as you are not actively drooling and babbling in front of the judge/attorney/witnesses you are considered competent!! It doesn’t matter if you won’t remember doing it five minutes later either. My mother, in her right mind, would NEVER have disinherited me.
Now, my greedy, self-serving, ungrateful eldest child decided that she will evict us so she can try to sell my mother's home, in which I and my grandsons, her nephews still live, so she can pay off mom's debt, which she exaggerates, and her student loans. She is fully aware of our circumstances, she just doesn’t care. The only transportation I have for my grandsons is the truck my mom gave me before her death, but did not have the money to transfer title on. It is now part of mom’s estate and she took that too.
I called the Clerk in division where probate/ succession on my mom were filed... Clerk said that I need an attorney to file contest to the will, herein lies the problem... there is not 1 single legal aid agency in the ENTIRE New Orleans Metro area that can handle a contested will!! There are also no private attorneys that will handle it either, unless there's big money in it for them, which in this case there is not.
Clerk also said she has no idea why I was never notified. Judge signed off regardless. There seems to be no justice for the poor in this country... since we can't afford to pay the exorbitant fees of a private attorney, which seems to be a necessity to get anything done in the courts. I have tried appealing to my daughter’s sense of decency, but she doesn’t seem to have one. Her actions are despicable and deplorable. I am ashamed to be her mother. It breaks my heart and sickens me to know that I brought such a hateful, selfish, greedy, heartless person into this world. I did not raise her to be that way.
I've called every single legal aid agency in my area; including the Bar Assoc. Lawyer referral service... no one will help because there just isn't any money in it for them... sad state this country is in when the poor cannot get justice anywhere.
We were told by the eviction court judge on Sept 12th, that we have 24 hours to vacate our home... stating that our situation is a matter for probate court. Thankfully, we found a place, however, we still need about $800.00 more to pay the $420.00 we still owe our new landlord to avoid eviction from this new place by the 5th of October plus $365.00 to the light company which will be past due (cut off)on the 7th and includes a new deposit and transfer fee.

I've also called churches and other charitable organizations for help... there are so many families in need in the New Orleans metro area that any help is minimal. ALL homeless shelters are full up with waiting lists so long they are no longer taking applications for assistance.
I have applied for Section 8 housing, but there is a HUGE waiting list. The HUD Section 8 waiting list in Louisiana is backlogged 5+ years and has more than 20,000 applicants still waiting for vouchers, many of whom are currently homeless. They are not accepting any new applicants.
I have contacted EVERY charitable and public/community service agency that I can think of for help... none has been forthcoming as of yet..... Is there ANYONE out there with a heart who can and will help us? I have nowhere else to turn.
I’ve spent days seeking legal help... bottom line... none available... so since if my defense is denied and I can't fight the eviction then we are out on the streets with nowhere to go.
My nerves are shot; the house hunt is not going well.
I am hurt by my daughter’s actions and so sickened over all of this mess that I can barely think straight. I cry myself to sleep every night and awake with tears in my eyes and a rock in the pit of my stomach. Yet I dry them and try to be strong and act as if everything is normal for my grandsons who need me now more than ever. I still haven’t had time to grieve my mother’s death.
We are now faced with trying to find alternate housing that we can afford on the $840.00 a month income that I receive in Kinship Care for my grandsons. Fat chance in this over-priced rental market. Even a 1 bedroom apartment in Crack Alley goes for more than my income in this post-Katrina/Gustav/Ike market.
And it's starting to look like me and my grandsons will be homeless very soon... by the end of the 1st week in October.
Their mother is in prison and their deadbeat, psycho father hasn't been seen in almost 2 years, ever since he beat the hell out of his girlfriend, killed their little dog in front of my boys, stole and trashed her car and ended up in a mental hospital wanting to kill himself... my babies have had enough grief and loss in their lives... they need love, help and compassion.... and a decent place to live... soon!
We’re trying to stay in this area because my boyfriend of 11 years, and my only help, has an elderly, widowed mother who needs his help too. And we are all she has. She cannot take us in because her trailer is very small and there is no room for 5 more people in it.
Work is also scarce and hard to find in the New Orleans metro area due to the huge influx of big out of state companies with their out of state workers getting all of the bigger jobs and contracts and the even larger influx of foreign laborers so severely underbidding the smaller construction jobs, cutting local workers and sub-contractors, like my boyfriend, right out of the job market. Every day he goes out hunting for work taking any job offered.
I have prayed on this so hard and so often since this mess all began. I have put my burden in Jesus' Hands. For He is the only one that can save us. I can only hope that he sends us Angels to deliver us soon, for without help from someone, somewhere here on earth we are lost. I feel so lost and utterly alone... this truly is my darkest hour.
If there is ANYONE out there who can offer assistance, legal, residential, financial, whatever help you can give... please contact me ASAP. I have exhausted all available resources.
Right now, I can barely afford toilet paper to wipe our butts with.
We are thankful and grateful for the help we have received from 5 of my 267 facebook friends, our local churches and the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, as well as some assistance on our utility bill from our local community action organization. That meager help has helped us survive thus far, but our resources are nearly spent. Please have mercy on us and donate whatever you can to help me save my family. If enough people with a heart and some compassion give up just 1 cup of Latte from Starbucks and donate to help save us, we will be able to make it… small donations add up and every little bit helps.
Thank you for listening to my problems and for your consideration of my plight.
May God Bless you tenfold for any help you send us.
Proverbs 3: 3-7
Let not mercy and truth forsakes you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

I live with a very emotionally/verbally abusive "functioning" alcoholic, which means he can hold a job and appears to be normal to everyone. The town we live in is very small and everyone knows he is an alcoholic and because of his attitude not many people like him. He has to find work in other towns in the area. Two nights ago he threatened to throw me out at night. The main reason he does this is because I don't have a job. He knows I have been looking, and have applied for many jobs, but get very few calls and when I do get an interview, he goes out of his way to distress me so that I can't function well in the interview. I can't take this abuse anymore. I have no money, and all I want is to get out of here so I can start a new life. My plan is to go to a women's shelter for a few weeks, there they will help me find some support, counseling and a new doctor. I will be able to start some upgrading of my high school marks, enough so that I can take the college course of my choice, not just want I can get into now, which would be office assistant or cooking. I'm almost 50 and I need to make decent money so I can save for my old age. All I need is enough money to get out of here, and maybe rent an apartment once I'm out of the shelter. From there, I can apply for student funding, then I will be okay.
Thank you so much for considering a small donation for me. God bless you all

Please help me out of this mess................
Hi i hope you can help. last yr i stupidly went guarentor for a friends loan as she was currently selling her house and in rented, she assured me (verbally) that she would pay the loan off once the house was completed. She has defaulted on the loan either paying late or incomplete since january and is now not paying at all. it now appears her house was actualy being repossesed so i feel as though i was also tricked into this. i have also found out from the loan company that she contacted them in October to change my contact details - i can only assume this was to prevent me finding out that she wasnt paying. i have paid the last two months to prevent court action, my question is would anyone out there be able to help me pay this off, i am a good person and help people myself everyday (im a paramedic) i live to my means and am in no debt myself apart from this mess that my so called friend has landed on me, i feel so silly and stupid and would never normally ask anyone for help but im so worried about this...........i can provide any information and proff needed to prove this is not a scam and i have no intention of keeping this money, i am prepared to work for the money if need be (legally of course), i do not have the option to work extra hours at work (as everyone knows the nhs has no money either) please help if you can i have tried to get them to pay, iv tried the police, the courts are not interested, the loan company just hounds me.... i have sent two recorded letters each giving 14 days notice asking them to contact myself or the loan company with their intention of paying, iv had no response to either letter. The initial loan was for £3300.00, and after a year of non / late payments £2700 is still owing, i have managed to pay ther last two months of £151.19 but its just not going down :-( Thankyou in advance Amanda

I don't know where we will go. I will have enough money on September 3rd to pay either 1 month's rent or the deposit, but can't raise both in time I have left. I also have the added expenses of my regular utility bills and new expenses for the transfer of utility services and/or deposits, and transportation. So I need to raise about $2000.00 within the coming 2 week period.
I have tried appealing to my daughter’s sense of decency, but she doesn’t seem to have one. Her actions are despicable and deplorable. I am ashamed to be her mother. It breaks my heart and sickens me to know that I brought such a hateful, selfish, greedy, heartless person into this world. I did not raise her to be that way.
I've called every single legal aid agency in my area; including the Bar Assoc. Lawyer referral service... no one will help because there just isn't any money in it for them... sad state this country is in when the poor cannot get justice anywhere.
I've also called churches and other charitable organizations for help... there are so many families in need in the New Orleans metro area that any help is minimal. ALL homeless shelters are full up with waiting lists so long they are no longer taking applications for assistance.
I have applied for Section 8 housing, but there is a HUGE waiting list. The HUD Section 8 waiting list in Louisiana is backlogged 5+ years and has more than 20,000 applicants still waiting for vouchers, many of whom are currently homeless. They are not accepting any new applicants.
I have contacted EVERY charitable and public/community service agency that I can think of for help... none has been forthcoming as of yet..... Is there ANYONE out there with a heart who can and will help us? I have nowhere else to turn.
I’ve spent days seeking legal help... bottom line... none available... so since if my defense is denied and I can't fight the eviction then we are out on the streets with nowhere to go.
My nerves are shot; the house hunt is not going well.
I am hurt by my daughter’s actions and so sickened over all of this mess that I can barely think straight. I cry myself to sleep every night and awake with tears in my eyes and a rock in the pit of my stomach. Yet I dry them and try to be strong and act as if everything is normal for my grandsons who need me now more than ever. I still haven’t had time to grieve my mother’s death.
We are now faced with trying to find alternate housing that we can afford on the $840.00 a month income that I receive in Kinship Care for my grandsons. Fat chance in this over-priced rental market. Even a 1 bedroom apartment in “Crack Alley” goes for more than my income in this post-Katrina/Gustav/Ike market.
And it's starting to look like me and my grandsons will be homeless very soon... by the end of the 1st week in September.
Their mother is in prison and their deadbeat, psycho father hasn't been seen in almost 2 years, ever since he beat the hell out of his girlfriend, killed their little dog in front of my boys, stole and trashed her car and ended up in a mental hospital wanting to kill himself... my babies have had enough grief and loss in their lives... they need love, help and compassion.... and a decent place to live... soon!
We’re trying to stay in this area because my boyfriend of 11 years, and my only help, has an elderly, widowed mother who needs his help too. And we are all she has. She cannot take us in because her trailer is very small and there is no room for 5 more people in it.
Work is also scarce and hard to find in the New Orleans metro area due to the huge influx of big out of state companies with their out of state workers getting all of the bigger jobs and contracts and the even larger influx of foreign laborers so severely underbidding the smaller construction jobs, cutting local workers and sub-contractors, like my boyfriend, right out of the job market. Every day he goes out hunting for work taking any job offered.
I have prayed on this so hard and so often since this mess all began. I have put my burden in Jesus' Hands. For He is the only one that can save us. I can only hope that he sends us an Angel to deliver us soon, for without help from someone, somewhere here on earth we are lost. I feel so lost and utterly alone... this truly is my darkest hour.
If there is ANYONE out there who can offer assistance, legal, residential, financial, whatever help you can give... please contact me ASAP. I have exhausted all available resources.
I need at least 2 bedrooms in a safe neighborhood... my total income is $840.00 per month... Right now, I can barely afford toilet paper to wipe our butts with.
We are thankful and grateful for the help we have received from our local churches and the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, as well as some assistance on our utility bill from our local community action organization. That meager help has helped us survive thus far, but our resources are nearly spent. Please have mercy on us and donate whatever you can to help me save my family… every little bit helps.
Thank you for listening to my problems and for your consideration of my plight.
May God Bless you tenfold for any help you send us.
Proverbs 3: 3-7
Let not mercy and truth forsakes you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

My husband and I are separated (he was verbally abusive)and I can't afford a divorce. I have 4 children and it will cost me at least $1700. I had to get a payday loan $500 to help pay rent and I don't have the money to pay it back. The refinance payment I did make caused a huge amount of overdrafts and now I am negative in my bank account,I don't get paid again for two more weeks my utilities didn't get paid and the full payday loan amount is due next payday and my next paycheck won't cover that plus my rent. I've tried to do things right on my own, got a cheaper place, lowered my witholdings, sent off for child support, but nothing seems to be helping. Please help, I can't see a way out.

Hi, my name is cynthia after several bad relationships,I havr been married to the love of my life for two years this September 26. Anthony came into my life when I was at my lowest point. Men had beat me down verbally and physically to the point where i hated them and myself.My husband came into my life showed me what the meaning of true love was. with no biological kids of his own he took on the responsibility of my three children, in the four years we have been together he has been better to them than their own fathers after my last child i had my tubes tied not realizing that I would someday meet someone who would actually love me and actually want a child with me none of my children were wanted by their dads. My heart longs so much to give my husband a biological child but coming up with an extra 7000 dollars to have my surgery reversed is tough. It seems that when the money is there something comes up and the money goes to that problem. This man is so good to me and my children but I know nothing would complete our joy more than having a child made from the love we have for each other. I know how crazy this may sound but I dont know where else to turn other than to the compassionate hearts that may be out their and understand what its like to want a child and not be able to have one. We have looked into adoption, to expensive. Insurance doesn't cover the surgery so i am asking that anyone out there who is willing to help us complete our joy and our family please donate at least one dollar to help us have a baby. Donations may be sent to Baby Walls 110 Tamarack ct Beebe,AR 72012

I have been a stay at home mom for the last 7 years. My husband is a very controlling person, he wants me at home, instead of working. He recently has become a very verbally abusive, alcoholic, he doesn't do this with my children just with me. I need to find a way to support my children and myself for up to two weeks, until I can move in with a friend of mine. Anything will help! Thank You

I am a disabled mother of a teenage son who has high functioning autism. His child support just ended since he just turned 18. We have applied for his SSI benefits, but that takes time. My husband of 2 1/2 years has never understood the behavior issues of a child with autism. He is verbally and emotionally abusive to both me and my son. We have had enough and want to escape this madness. I have secured a small house to live in that I can afford on my SS disability payment, but we need help with the utility deposits. Please help us escape from the abuse.

We need help to get out of our living situation. We currently live with my mother but she has told me repeatly over the last year that I need to take myself and my three children and get out. My children are ages 6, 7, and 8 years old. I am a single mom with no income. I have suffered from depression probably consistant with the constant hammering and put downs that I endure while living under my mother's rule. Currently, we have less than $20 to our name and that came from a lemonade stand my children put on. We do not own a vehicle or anything else of any value. We need a chance to get out on our own where my children will not have to watch their mother being verbally abused on a daily basis. I use being in the present moment and meditation to cope with a situation I've been unable to change. You can read about us at http://youarethatlight.blogspot.com/
and you can donate to us there as well. It is my hope to give back to anyone who gives to us by sharing a true story with you through my writing. Hopefully it will have a happy ending.

Hey all
Just call me Angel. I am an aspiring health administrator/pre-nursing major student. I have almost $40,000 in student loans and debt. I have yet to even graduate with my associates degree. You may be wondering why??? Well I grew up in a very depressing household where my dad was verbally and physically abusive. My mom used to be so independent and strong before getting back together with my father, they were separated since the day I was born (I was a bastard child supposedly). But after seeing my mom go back to my dad and take this abuse it effected the way I acted in relationships and resulted in anxiety. To get away from all the drama I decided to go out of state for school in San Francisco. There I started my first year of college, experienced freedom, had independence, and lived my dream. My mom and family were so proud. Though I was paying non-resident tuition, I was doing what many people only dreamed about. My dream came to an abrupt halt when I came home to visit for thanksgiving in 2008. I found out my dad started physically abusing my mom over here 10,000 credit card debt. I felt it was my duty to move back and help my family. I paid one of my mom's credit cards with money that should of been used for school expenses. I took a year off and worked as a home aide for the disabled full-time. I was able to make a descent hourly wage and helped pay down my loans. But my dreams of getting a degree is still strong with everything i've been through I just want to give back. I want to become a nurse I want to help people who can't help themselves. But with this built up debt I find myself falling deeper and deeper into a whole of dispair. I know that there are hundreds of people asking for money. But I just hope that out of all the stories someone can relate to mine. A story about dreams and ambitions that they couldn't pursue and would want to help me reach my dreams. If you would like to donate ANY amount you can here...
