I recently got my Bachelor's Degree in Writing and English in Grand Rapids, MI. The economy out there is terrible, so I took a train to Seattle, WA. I'm currently staying with a friend in Bellevue.

Pretty soon here, I'm going to have no money. My friend wants rent money by June 1st - $400. I can't afford to eat and pay him rent at the same time.

My beg is for any money you can possibly spare - just enough to get a meal or two would be nice enough. I've applied for over 35 corporate positions in the last two days, and countless minimum wage positions.

Work is also acceptable. I am a published writer, and I would be happy to edit/proofread/write documents for you in exchange for money.

Thank you

Hi my wife of sevnteen yrs left my fourteen yr old UIdaughter and myself for a different lifestyle 8 months ago were about to lose everything without The second income we live in puyallup wa. Thank you

I had a pretty good life up until 2007. It was then that my partner in life and business(we had a roofing company and the bar) decided to turn to methamphetamine because he thought it would make him work harder. I tried for a year to get him to quit. I finally left him in 2008. The roofing company was in my name. Out of the goodness of my heart I kept it going so that he would have a source of income. Little did i know then that he would quit working legitimately(he did it under the table for cash) and quit giving me money to pay the bills for roofing company. I had to close it down but in the end my credit was ruined and he didn't care. At the time the restaurant/bar was also struggling due to the economy. I put myself on the schedule and cut my employees back to the bare minimum. I work along side of them trying to keep things going. I have a personally held contract that I have been paying since 1998. It was a lease option after the first 5 years. I rolled it over to purchase in 2003. I had never been late making the $3000.00 a month payments until 2011. I had to cut the payments short in order to pay other bills. Business was just down because of the economy. We live in a small town. We love to gossip. It was through this gossip that I heard that the contract owner(who doesn't even live in this state!) is going to try and foreclose on us. I have been doing this for 14 years. I have a good track record. I just need help at this point and I'm not too proud to beg!! I really need donations to get caught up and keep me and my employees working. I am so close to being done with my contract that I don't want to give up easily. I cannot go to a bank because of my credit and she will not refinance my contract. My only hope is that I can get enough help from good hearted people who read this and decide to make a donation. It won't go unrewarded. I would love to be able to help others out who are in my position. I know in my community alone there are lots who need it. So please be generous and help me. I will in turn help others. Besides paypal feel free to send donations to: Save Our Bar! 185 rosebrook road Chehalis, Wa. 98532. Thank-you for reading and God Bless.

Hello. I have been in business for 14 years. I was doing fine until the econmy took a dive a couple of years ago. I have mae drastic changes including working myuself 40+ hours a week. unfortunately I got behind on some of my payments. We are in a small town that loves gossip. It was thru this gossip that I heard the lady I am buying the bar from is trying to foreclose on the bar because I owe her some payments from last year. I am behind on other things too. I really need to get this caught up. I cannot seek traditional refinancing because of my credit. Thats another long story in itself! I just really would like to get her paid up. Anything anybody can do to help would be appreciated. I would like to start a pay it forward kind of thing. As soon as I get back on my feet I want to pay it forward to someone else. I just want to keep the people I have employed and make it to the end of my lease which is roughly $ more years. I am too close to lose it all now. Please help! Donations can be mailed to frosty's po box 629 Napavine Wa. 98565 Thank you

My name is Trina and I am 26.I am currently,living in Seattle,WA and was offered a job in New York City.The thing is,I have no means to get there financially.I am not asking for a lot.Just enough for me to get there and to get by until my job that I am working is regular.It would be really helpful to help me out.This job is a dream come true and I don't want to lose sight of it.You can also personally e-mail if you want to ask me any questions at:saved12_04@yahoo.com.Thanks.

My story is simple. I am on the road with my boyfriend and we are trying to get to Seattle. He has a job waiting for him there. We thought wehad enough money to get there but our car needed repairs. We are now stranded at a gas station outside of Portland, OR. We haven't eaten in two days. We have asked eveyone we know for help and they are unable. I don't know what else to do. I do not have a PayPal account and neither does he. We are gratefull for any help we recieve. We just need $200 to get us to Seattle, WA. There is a western union nearby. You can contact me by email for more information at vivien_west@hotmail.com. I will gladly return the favor.

Gratefully yours,
Stranded Motorist

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.

And I hate doing this but I just don't know what else to do.

My name is Gina and I am trying to raise money for 3 things:
Fix my car for Work Purposes
To relocate to Dallas Texas for Work Purposes
Get my sick cat to a vet for blood tests to get her on the right medications.

My car is going south on me bad Catalytic Converter and Possibly a leak on Carburetor.
My ex fiancé (retired mechanic) is trying to do what he can with it but does not have the right tools.

I am currently employed as a demonstrator doing demonstrations at the local Safeway in Aberdeen. I need that car I cannot do demonstrations without my car.

The company I work for does demonstrations in Dallas Texas also there are more Safeway’s plus they also do them at Target and Home Depot again I would need my car.

In addition the company my sister works at will be doing a training class for Reservations Sales Specialists in Jan 2012, That I could do by bus, and eventually work from home. My sister is willing to put me up but it is a family of 3 in 2 bedroom town house with a big dog.

I plan to leave 10/01 with a rental truck towing my car. Another idea I had was to find a Class C motor home with a tow bracket on it for about the same as the truck rental buy that and drive to Texas in that with my stuff in it towing my car that way I would just need to put my stuff in storage and find a place to put my motor home for a while.

My cat Angel whom I have had for 14 years has been ill it may be Hyperthyroidism or Diabetes I need to get blood tests to know for sure.

I hate doing this and I know times are hard for all of us, just a small donation from anyone who can, will help me once again be a self supportive individual.

If you only knew what my life has been like since 2005 and if you ask me I will tell you.
Also I have put together a cost detail of what I need to accomplish my goals.
Any one who would like to see it I would be glad to let them.

I am between address at this time because I was staying with my parents and they are preparing to leave in their Fifth wheel for 4 weeks 09/20 and my dad wants to shut down the house while he is gone, He has always known I needed to be there till the 10/01. My ex fiancé is putting me up but has no mail box he is getting his mail at his ex wife’s PO Box so any donations would have to be sent to.

PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!

I know that there are others out there who need money for more important things than I like medical treatment and I have tried to sell nearly everything I own to raise money to no avail. I just do not know what else to do.
My name is Georgina Hermsdorf, I am 45 years old and I make this post with a heavy and broken heart and dented pride.I am asking for funds for 3 purposes.
1.Medical Care to save my cat
(She is my priority right now)
2.Fix my car.
3.Relocate to Dallas Texas for Job Reasons.

1.My 14 year old cat Angelica Precious (Angel) whom I have had since 8 weeks old
(She was a Christmas gift to me from my whole family after a Coyote took my
Squeekers) needs blood work to determine if she has Hyperthyroidism, Diabetes or if her kidneys or liver are failing. This is a big thing for me because she is my baby, my best friend, my guardian angel, my everything. I love her so much and right now with all I am going thru she is all that keeps me strong, she is all that I have to hold on to. All I want at this very moment is to be able to get her the blood tests to find out for sure what is wrong, then if treatment is needed get her on treatment, if worst comes to worse and her liver or kidneys are failing then be able to put her to sleep have her cremated and be able to keep her ashes. All my other trouble seem inconsequential to this. I have been to every charity that helps pets that there is, and there is no help there.

2.My 1986 Buick Century Ltd not behaving right think it might be a problem with Carburetor or Transmission, I need this car for my demonstration job this job cannot be done by bus I have equipment and materials I have to take with me for the Demonstrations.

3.I want to relocate to Dallas Texas because I have 2 job opportunities there and if they do not pan out then I feel job opportunities there are better than Washington State period.

I have a sister in Dallas Texas who works for Hilton Reservations World Wide I used to work for them in Hemet CA she talked to them and they see no problem with me returning to work for them but I would have to go thru the application, interview and training process. To do that I need to be in Dallas Texas, have a Dallas Texas address. They will be doing another training class in October 2011

In addition the company (Prodemoworks based out of Arizona) I am currently working for doing in store demonstrations also does in store demonstrations in Dallas Texas, and I was able to get the name and email of the Dallas AM there I emailed her and she emailed me the name and contact information for the District supervisor whom I have contacted and she has already asked for my employee ID number so she can get me set up in the system.

I am actually hoping I can get a weekday schedule at Hilton and be able to work demonstrations on weekends. Yes work the 2 jobs. Also hoping to be able to go back to volunteering at a local animal shelter as I did in Ocean Shores WA for about 8 months.
I would like to leave for Dallas Texas October 1st 2011 or before. I am going by moving truck towing my car

My father is willing to put me up till October 1st 2011 but that is all he will do for me, he is and forgive me for saying this being a hard nose. (Long story there)

Also a friend of the family is willing to drive the moving truck for me but I would have to get him back to Tacoma Washington.

I would be taking a route that takes me thru Hemet California so that I can pick up some other personal belongings in storage there. (Another Long Story)

I really feel this is the best move for me, a fresh start in a new town where there are opportunities for me to find work and once again become a productive self supportive independent individual. Also it takes me away from bad memories of a relationship gone badly and the loss of a child.

If you would like to know the whole sordid story of how I ended up in the mess I am in or exactly how much ot will cost to accomplish, if you wish to mail a donation email me at geoherms@gmail.com.

I really need a job. I have a great deal of office experience, I have worked in Restaurants, Hotels, ect...Customer Service. I am hard working and reliable and in need of a job in the Tacoma, Wa area. I need help. I am behind on my rent by 2 months and it is taking its toll. It is about $400 and as I try to figure out what my next step is, I am scared to death. I don't have a car, so that makes it even worse. No real family and somehow when you lose your job, funny how you lose friends at the same time. And that hurts. I am a 49 year old woman single and really frightened. Any help would be appreciated.

we have a 3 generation houshold,my mom ran a business 8 yrs ago and had our home built, not just for herself but for her grown children and their children so they would always have a home to go to. She lost her business in 2004 and we then worked togeather to save our family home now my mom takes care of one disabled daughter and her 4 children and another grandchild that has disabilities with her son in law that was just released from prison to 3 of his children and one that was born while incarcerated to clear his record and become a dad to all, the loan servicer and bank refuse to work with them even though they begged them for one yr. now the servicer has found a program but its to late they want 10,000 in order to stop the auction. please

to contact them to stop this action.

This is my first time placing an ad such as this.I am trying to get a bus ticket and some travel money for a trip to Aberdeen, WA.

I am going out there for a job. I am a 37-year old married college student that has been unemployed for about 3 years.

My wife and I are pretty poor and we are having a very difficult time getting by without my having a source of income. We survive off of the SSI and SSDI money she gets every month which isn't a lot even living in this area.


I am tired of sitting at home dreaming about working again someday while we struggle with food and the bills every month.

I have sold off everything that I have of value to help my wife and stepson buy food, gas etc, even the computers that I paid for with student loans. Computers that I needed to complete my online courses. Now I have nothing but bills and debt to show for my life.

I don't graduate from college until October 2013. Which is still a good ways off. I can't wait another two or three years to go back to work, and the liklihood of me finding a job in this economically deppressed area is slim to none.

I have tried everything I can think of to find work locally and nothing has worked out. So I need to relocate and settle someplace where there is going to be long-term opportunities for me and my family.

I just need money for a greyhound ticket and some money to travel with. The ticket I believe is like $244 or 258.00, and it is a 3-day trip from here. So, I guess I would need about $100-150.00 to travel with for food and for a ride to the house where I am going to be staying until I can secure an apartment for my family and I in the area.

I will be grateful for whatever someone decides to donate to me. I thank you all for taking the time to read my ad. May God bless you!

Dear Friend,
These are words I thought I would never say. My name is Dixie and I need your help. I am 60 years old, and I have worked the last 43 years of my life. I had a bad stroke and I can no longer work. I am on disability and the goverment expects me to live on $649 per month. I can no longer afford to live on my own, so I have moved into a one bedroom apartment with my daughter and her husband. I cannot stay here much longer because the landlord will not allow me to reside in the apartment because I am not on the lease and because its only a small one bedroom apartment and not enough room for the three of us.
I have helped alot of people over the years. I have assisted friends and family with money for rent, food, and clothing. I did this out of the kindness of my heart because I know times can get tough sometimes. I have always been told that "what goes around comes around". I have always believed this was true.
I need your help. I have no resources for affordable living. I have tried to make money doing various things like working at home jobs, mail marketing jobs, and mystery shopping. I have been unable to make any money doing any of these things. I have spent money to do these things and have not gained anything in return. It has left me completely broke.
I am asking for your help. I am trying to raise enough money so that my family and I can move. I am asking if you could send me a few dollars to help. Anything at all will help me. I really do appreciate anything you can help us with. I didnt know what else to do. I hope I will hear from you soon. Thanks again for your help.

God Bless,

... I am a single (divorced) man, 45, living alone in the Vancouver, Wa area. I work for a retailer, have been in my industry for well over 10 years, and since my divorce 4 years ago and the economy radically changing my income, I am living paycheck to paycheck, but barely. I have $900- per month taken out of my pay each month, and will be fortunate to hit 45k this year in income. I am filing to reduce my child support (will go down to around $400-), after which time I will be in a position to actually save money instead of borrow money.
I am asking for money to catch up on my Clark Public Utilities bill and my rent (running about three weeks behind each month). I don't do drugs, I rarely drink anything other than water, I'm what you might call 'statistically boring', and am not a criminal type either. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
I will be happy to work for this, and am open to out of the box suggestions to cure my problem. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Christo5er

So my story is short my mom left my dad who has heart problems he has no medical insurance and has hospital bills pilling up we were getting by with my wages for rent and food I recently got let go and have no money for rent or food please help anything would be greatly appreciated if you can help send money/checks to jeremy harris 1951 clear valley dr maple falls wa 98226

Due to losing my steady job because of a company layoff, my family had to return to the Philippines without me. I had an excellent job, I am educated, and I am definitely at the lowest point in my life with trying to be resourceful. I am attempting to raise immediate funds to return to my wife & two-year-old son immediately, as we all are under extreme stress not being with one another. I have attempted to earn income in WA taking any temporary jobs I might find, but jobs are hard to come by these days. I have been on the streets for six months now, and I am sending all funds back to my family, so they are able to live. They are staying with my wife's family members, and living conditions are definitely not good. I would ideally like to bring them home to WA, but I don't have the funds to bring them here or to support them here, and I definitely have no funds to buy a ticket to go to them. Anything you might do to help me reunite with my family would be extremely appreciated. I miss them terribly, and they certainly miss me. I am missing some very precious time with them; and I am hoping others will be able to help me at least find a way to go to them as quickly as possible. We would be very grateful for anything you might offer, to allow our family to be together again.
Thank you for your support, it means the world to me.
Michael

Hello,

I have never done before, but at this time I am in desperate need of your help. I have a reunion in Utah that I really want to go & is scheduled for July 2nd. There are some people I haven't seen in well over twenty years & this is something I really can't miss. I had to miss a huge one three years ago due to other circumstances at that time & I would feel really disappointed if I missed this one. My problem about the trip is I have no money coming in at this time & with being unemployed, it makes it harder for me to live by my own means. I really am in need of help at this time & any cash donation that you can give is greatly appreaciative at this time to help me for round trip airfare, lodging, & other things needed for the trip. With your help, you would be blessed greatly by giving generously to someone in need. You can send your donations in cash, check, or money order to:
Lief Rockne
14904 Burkey Street
Entiat, WA 98822-9600

Thank you so much for your time.
