Charity Evaluation

Posted by rwbovee on 2012-05-24 11:58:06

Read my charity evaluation of the best charity to donate to. I need to raise seed money and startup capital to start my business. I'm planning on becoming a binary options investor according to this website: http://www.60secondprofits.com/system/. This is a great binary options system explained by ex-stock broker turned independent trader Keith Jones. The basis of this free strategy centers around 60 second options, something that very few binary options platforms offer. The strategy is very sound, and what he shows you is how you follow a trend in the EUR/USD forex market and use a progressive buying strategy to capitalise on the small currency fluctuations over a .5 decimal base over the period of just 1 minute, so you can earn money from binary options very quickly indeed. Keith claims that this strategy has a 100% success rate (he averages $80 to $150 an hour profits).

Whilst testing out this free binary options system over a period of 5 days a reviewer was able to generate an impressive $6200 from a starting trade of just $5 and a bank of just $300. Quite impressive stuff I think you will agree. So what I need is $300 seed money and startup capital to get started. You can donate all or any part of this to my Paypal account by hitting the Donate link below. Or you could mail your donation to:

Thanks for helping because I really need the added income to provide for my ministry!

Help required

Posted by lozlynch on 2012-03-28 06:58:44

Hello there, my name is Lorraine. I am here as I need help. I am 43 with a child aged 13. New Years Eve 2010 I got married to a gentleman who I adored,hes 55 we didnt tell anyone we was doing this only our 2 witnesses. It was a gorgeous day. Feb 2011 I picked up my Husbands phone to another woman!I cannot tell you how devastated I was, I still am. This had been going on 10 months & whilst we planned our wedding day. He begged me for another chance which I gave him. We moved house for a "new start" which as it needed quite alot of work doing it took my mind off the problems. Well, it hasnt worked out & im devastated. The problem now is that although we are married as its only been a short time i'm not entitled to stay in the property. The mortgage is in my husbands name (long story)& it was his savings paid the deposit. I'm beginning to wonder if this was his plan all along. I have now got to move out before I lose my sanity. I have been sleeping in the spare room & my son is being affected by this atmosphere we live in which in turn is affecting his schoolwork. I dont claim benefits, I'm a hard worker & the only thing I have is my car which I am more than prepared to sell to pay a deposit to rent somewhere. Its not worth much though & I still need to travel to work (15miles) can anyone please consider helping me? If not me then consider my Son? I'm not asking for much, even a couple pence helps towards something. I'm a proud person & this is very difficult for me. Thankyou in advance to everyone that has read my letter.

Help to make it home from England to N. Ireland

Posted by infotoxin on 2012-03-18 04:58:29

A few days ago I was was asked to attend some last minute university interviews, I planned a trip in a rush with what little money I had, borrowing the majority of it.

Due to a couple of travel and financial planning slip ups I've found myself with £20 left to survive until Thursday and stuck without transport in Derby on Wednesday (I need to make it on to York and then Leeds-Bradford airport in order to make it back home to Belfast). Even then I've no money to pay for my hostel bed in York on Wednesday night.

So I'm hoping some of you will be kind enough to give me what ever you can in order to help ensure that I can get to where I need to be in order to get home, and perhaps eat whilst I'm here. otherwise I'm going to be stuck in England with nowhere to go for the foreseeable future.

Travel Dreams for a Kiwi Couple (New Zealand)

Posted by Kiwilady24 on 2012-03-10 04:58:10

Hello Everyone, I'm a 24 year young lady living in New Zealand with my partner of one year.

I have some grand travel plans. New Zealand being a small country I know there is such a wide world to explore.

I don't have a sob story to tell you as everyone in life is fighting their own battles, some bigger than others, some may seem more important than others.

I do work full time and try and save as much as I can whilst also paying off my $18,000 worth of debt (Car, Lawyers, Seperation fees etc) and being on one income, my partners role was made redundent so he is currently unemployed :(. So far my travel account has $330, nearly enough for a air fair to Australia one way.

I have a wild passion for travel, when I was married I was very held back by my husband but now I'm free, have grown so personally and wish to explore this whole world. EAT PRAY LOVE is such a inspirational movie!! I'm already selling what I can with Garage sales, working extra cash jobs, watering plants, house sitting etc to try and save faster.

I wish to travel to

Australia - Espically the Gold Coast, take my partner to all the theme parks.

I would love to explore the out back and rough it for a few nights

USA - I would love to travel LA to NY along route 66. I would love to go to Texas, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm and more. My dream job a Rollarcoaster Tester!! Travel the world playing on rollarcoasters. I'm no boring chick, I like adventure and just wish to explore this world.... oh and defintitly want to chase a tornado in America.

Would also love to go to Egypt, Italy, Rome, Thailand. I'm ready to pack up and go. Happy to work when I get to these countries to help my self around.

Im just asking anyone who has kindness in their hearts to help my partner and I, go exploing in this wide world...

PS- If this helps my chances, my partner doesnt believe this will work, (he is a worry wort, I'm the free spirit / universe believer) he made me a deal, if I get at least $500 he will run nudey down the road!! Haha I shook on it and now he is worried.

If you would like to help a young Kiwi Couple out then please donate to us, what ever you can.

Thank you in advance

May you pay it forward an the goodness be returned

Homeless and in major need of help

Posted by selondon247 on 2012-03-07 09:58:46

I am sorry to bother you but i have exausted all avenues i dont know who else i can go to for help.I will try keep this brief as possible as i dont want to bore you but will need to explain a few things for you to understand. I am 28 years old male i came out as Gay to my ex-partner on the 9th of May 2011 who i had been with for 11 years we had a joint tenancy and have a 6 year old son together. My ex partner knew that she could not make me leave our property with the housing assosiation so on the 31st of May she came home and started laughing telling me i would be leaving that night with what she had planned to do me being nieve thought she was mouthing off at 9pm that evening she called the police pretending to cry and scream telling them i was head butting her and trying to attack her and she felt in threat of her life which was a lie as i wasnt even in the same room as her i even made a point of walking into the room and calmly saying why are you lying for , anyway to cut long story bit shorter she had police make me pack my belongings that evening and leave in which my mum said i could temp stay at her house. She stopped me seeing my son even on his 6th birthday she tormented me with saying if i wished to see him i could drive down to the flat sit outside and look at him by window which i did and destroyed me. I had to take time off work as i became in very deep depression and intotal was off work for 4 months was seeing doctor and still am for my depression. On the 9th of May police came to my mums and arrested me which again destroyed me as i have never been in trouble with the law and to be honist am scared of police i spent 12 hours in a cell then was interviewed and given no furthur action as even the police officer said looks like she is playing the system, but even with getting no furthur action i was told i could not return back to the property and that if i did i could be arrested so i was forced out my home which she didnt allow me to have any of my belongings. She is very clever playing system as she is currently still making out she is unfit to work for the hurt ive caused being gay and saying i have emotionally destroyed her. I have been to Greenwich council as well as my local housing assosiation i done a housing application on the 19th May 2011 but was told i am not priority and would be waiting years. I can not afford to go private letting i can not get that kind of money together and am not entitled to any benifit help. My dad found out im Gay and wants me out of there house now i am being cursed every day by family "whens the poof going" , "wont have gay boy in my home" it is destroying me if it was not for my son i would rather die than live this so called life. I went back on numerous occassions to greenwich council and continuiously bid on propertys every week but am told i have a long wait and they will not even help me with tempoary accomadation my expartner allowed me to see son every other weekend but now she has fallen out with my mum she will not let me see my son until i have my own place for him to come , what am i meant to do. My parents want me out , i cant see son yet no one will help me with housing , I am seeing a Gay councilling service to help me deal with coming out and what comes with that but they can not help me with housing this is my biggest problem of them all as without me having my on fixed secure property i will not be able to see son and my emotional state will never improve and this scares the hell out of me. My dad is telling me i have till end of january and he is kicking me out and then what??? i have no where to go no friends or family to go to i even looked into letting rooms and then ex partner said she will not allow me to see child as its not secure for him.I AM TIRED AND EXAUSTED and in all honisty would rather be dead then alive but cant because cant do that to my son. I really need someone to help me even if it is with a tempoary accommadtion whilst i am bidding for a permant council place i have again been to greenwich council and was rudly told by a member of staff "well you should of thought about that when you decided toi tell your expartner you were gay" and told "your old enought to take care of yourself sleep in a car if you have to" i am horrified and disgusted that my own local council can treat someone in this way and again is this because im GAY . I only have one option after fighting all avenues and thats to try rase £1000 to put down as a deposit on a place i am homeless with nowhere to go have been sleeping in car and at work place i am having to resort to asking peoples good nature to donate what ever they can to help me this would be more than greatfully appricated and i make a promise that when back on my feet all money raised i will match that value and donate to charity one being young people that are homeless and mcmillian cancer. I am very sorry for having to ask strangers for help but this is my final last resort. Many Kind Regards

HELP FOR BUSINESS

Posted by sal64 on 2012-02-28 04:58:22

Dear Helper,

I had been unemployed for 3 years and could see no hope of finding a job so decided to start my own business media4web.co.uk, producing web video for small businesses to promote their products and services.

The little money I had went on purchasing a video camera, a fundamental tool for my work. However,last week whilst travelling back from a client, I was mugged and my camera and all accessories were stolen. I have no hope of ever seeing these again :-(.

I now have no camera and back to square one. The camera I need is £600 which is the minimum specification that i must have, I have £300 and to find the other £300 quickly so that I can resume my business. Can some kind people please help??

Thanking you all for your kind attention and support.

Sal.
Hey guys,
I know that by the title, I might sound like a stereotypical student who wastes a ton of money on alcohol and didn't save anything up ready for this problem. I worked all summer in preparation for uni and managed to save a fair amount which I have been using to live on for the past few months. As that money is nearly gone, I have found rather a big issue when looking for a house for next year.

After I was given my loan from Student Finance, I found that most of that money paid off my accommodation for this year with only a very little towards my actual food and living money. My mum is a single parent since my dad died when I was 11 (Nope, I'm not going for the sympathy vote, no worries, just want you to know the full picture!) and she can barely send me money as it is and I don't like to ask her as she has to support my brother already.
I've now found out I need to put down a £360 deposit on a house that I do not have and do not know how I will get it. The money needs to be paid in May and whilst I have sent out a ton of CVs, there seems to be nothing. I'd do anything for a job but as I cannot find one and I do not want to ask my mum for even more money, I'd love it if you could donate, even just a little bit, so I do not end up homeless come September. I know it's a lot of money to ask for but anything would honestly help me out and I would thank you for every single penny.
Hope you can help :) Hana

Please help me clear debt that is drowning me

Posted by George180262 on 2012-02-06 11:58:11

I’ve never asked for any kind of help before, and certainly not from people that I have never met! But my situation has become so desperate that I really do need help.
I have, for the last 15 years, struggled to make ends meet, following periods of ill-health, bad luck and catastrophic decision making. My circumstances are now very desperate indeed, and have even considered suicide.
In 1997 I suffered from a period of depression, that became so severe that I was forced to give up my job, and borrowed money to cover my mortgage and keep my house. Unfortunately the repayments on this ever increasing debt snowballed, and I found myself unable to meet my mortgage and household bills. I had ploughed my life savings into the home, and lost it all.
In 2006 I was approached by a friend, who was concerned for my financial circumstances, and suggested that we buy an old property, renovate it and sell it for a profit. I was desperate to make some money, and trusted my friend. I would refer you to full details of this in my Beg, as the project ended in complete failure having been ripped off by an unscrupulous builder. Work that should have taken 3 months took in excess of 9, and I ended up carrying out all the work myself. I regularly worked at the house from the early hours until well past midnight. The long hours left me exhausted, and in October 2008 I had a breakdown. I simply couldn’t carry on, and collapsed at work. My employer at the time was an unforgiving and vindictive man, and he said that I would be suspended if my work didn’t improve. I was afraid that I would lose my job, and under considerable psychological pressure from my employer I was forced to resign.
Following the failed business venture, which had plunged me into further debt, my breakdown and subsequent loss of my job, I simply couldn’t cope and pushed me into a long period of depression that became so severe that I planned to take my life. At the time I was so ill that I was unable to hold down a job, and this simply added to my woes - whilst out of work and undergoing intensive counselling I borrowed further. By the end of 2009 I was £15,000 ($23,250) in debt. I desperately want to rebuild my life now, but it is difficult to do so when I am saddled with a debt that is crippling me. Between 2009 and December 2010 my debt increased - there is no answer to it, and I will never ever me able to clear the £18,000 ($27,900) that I now owe. It is a debt that cripples me and prevents me from having a normal, happy life. I am 50 in February 2012, but have no future. I am tired of being worried, stressed, unable to sleep, and being depressed. Please, please help me start my life all over again. Please read my full story, and contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

Help Me Change My Life.....Please

Im trying to raise money so I can go to Australia-no I dont want to go Australia for a Holiday, but so I can earn my own way. I am british and live in the UK, and even for a hard working graduate of two degrees, job prospects have been dismal here ;-( Whereas in Australia, prospects are really good. Even if I fail to land a professional job in Australia, Id be willing to do anything to earn a wage. I have everything planned to go to Australia-will require a work/holiday visa, etc-apart from the finances. But I stress I do not plan to travel whilst I am there, I just want to start working ASAP, earn some money and get myself out of debt.
Background on me: 26, single male, UK. I like to think Im a really, honest nice guy-even when I have a little money I tend to share it with people around me. I'd actually given up on life a month back, and was close to ending it on several occassions. But am trying to turn it round. I suffer from depression, which is a big obstacle at moment.
Im hopeful I can pay back all the money I receive from donators in the long run. I dont want to put pressure on anybody, so please only donate if you are willing and able to do so. Im also willing to update/reespond to any further questions. Thanks

Want to further my education

Posted by reachforthestars on 2012-02-01 10:58:25

Hello!

My passion in life is visual arts and how it can be used to bring together and help communities. I currently work as an assistant in an Art Gallery (I was lucky enough to be picked out of 30 possible candidates). I have dreams of setting up my own studios/gallery/cafe/community project combined in the future. I am planning to go back to university part time, whilst working, and study an arts and community MA to help towards my goals. I hope to meet like-minded people and useful contacts, and take advantage of the support and resources of an institution. I am saving as I go and looking for a second job to help towards raising the money needed for the course. I know I will raise the money eventually, I would just REALLY love to get going and not see it as something way off in the distant future! It's not a massive sob story, I know, but I am ambitious (I am the only person in my family to go to university, coming from a very uninspiring town) I don't earn a lot, and anything to help me get there quicker would be a huge, huge help. I am 100% committed to having a great career ahead of me and reaching my goals!

Thank you for reading my post and taking an interest! :)

"If you live life aiming to do things that makes YOU feel truly proud (however big or small or insignificant it may seem to others)then you are living a good life and that's all there is to it!"

Please Help if you can

Posted by Believeingod on 2012-01-26 19:58:38

and thanks for reading this,that in itself is appreciated, I am not really sure how this works but a friend told me about this after reading about it in a magazine article.
Well let me start at the begining, for the last 20 years I have worked for the same company and never had a days sickness, yes not one single day, in October 2011 I went to work one day and just quit felling I had just had enough, I did not tell them I was feeling depressed & suicidal and sick, I just said I no longer want to work here and I left that day.
As I was depressed and on the verge of killing myself, something I had actually felt for many years, I spent the next three days at home not washing,cleaning or speaking to anyone, I looked on the internet and searched "The best way to commit suicide" I was that low, I had no money and in fact had huge debts, to my friends and family I was always the strong one always the one person they could rely on,but reality was I was a broken man my spirit my soul was empty I wanted to die.
After those three days of no sleep and thoughts of how I would die I took a shower, whilst in the shower I just completely broke down I just lay on the floor in uncontrolable crying I just lay there for about an hour, and suddenly it came to me that I needed to speak to some one and quick.
Enter my Sister, since childhood my Sister has been like a mother to me(My own mother left when I was 3) she is truly a beautiful person a wonderful role model and just the most fantastic spirited person I know. Why I had not just told her how I felt at the start I just dont know, because we talk about everything, maybe its the depression and anxiety of it all, I dont know.
I called her in tears and told her I need her to come over, she was here within half an hour, we spent the day crying she more than me, I was kinda cried out, she had never seen me cry since I was probably ten years old, that is probably a sadness in itself.
She did everything for me in those early days, took me to my Doctors a Doctors I had not been to in 10 years, it had been that long that when we booked the appointment I was informed my Doctor died 4 years ago. Anyway I was put under a mental health program and prescribed Anti-depressants and also some sleeping tablets(these killed me my spirit and thoughts were numbed). my sister has been my Angel my saviour, there is no doubt in my mind I would be dead now if it was not for my sister, thinks are still bad, very bad at times, but I see my sister every day she comes around cooks,talks does coffee and is constantly on the phone(sometimes this does my head in) but I understand that she is scared that I may harm myself,she has come to the doctors and psychiatrist with my giving me huge support and a hand to hold that I needed, I cant tell you in words how special she is to me, I am not actually suicidal at the moment although I still think if I got a terminal illness this would be ideal, mad I know but I am being honest, I have huge debts and on sick benefit but this is not enough to live on or enough to pay debts. I actually owe £50,000 and I know this will never be paid so I will lose my home and everything else that goes with bankruptcy, but I will always have my sister their supporting me, she has helped me financially for three months but I dont want this to continue its wrong.
Well now to my BEG, well I dont want money for my debts I understand they are way too much to ever believe I can pay them back, no the reason I want help is because later this year my sister is 50 yes the big Five O and for the last three years she has been kinda planning what she will do and where she will go, she has decided that she wants to rent a Villa in Spain and have all her friends & family come for one week, when we discussed this last year obviuosly I was always included in this week, but I do not want her paying for me its Her birthday after all, I will not be able to pay my own way and I will not be working in the next few months as I am soon to under go councilling, the truth is I dont really want to go as I am actually feeling stressed about it all, hoping it goes away, but at the same time I understand how much it means to her to have me there, I know she wont take no for an answer and will want to pay for me.
All I ask is that if anyone on here could donate so I can at least pay some part in some way to my own way.She is not going until August or September and I think it will cost around £300 as a guess maybe slightly more.
If just a little from a lot of people then I can make some head way, or if you just want to mail me if you have similar problems as I have learned that talking problems through does help.
I know its a long beg but I want you to know the background.
Thanks for reading and hopefully you can help in some small way.

Pregnant fiancé sacked for being pregnant

Posted by Bluewomble88 on 2012-01-26 09:58:45

In November my wonderful, pregnant fiancé was suspended from her job as a lecturer and escorted from the building in humiliating fashion. She hadn't done anything to deserve this and after all this time and many, many letters later the college has provided no explanations, allegations, or testimonies to support their accusations.

The college has, however, made numerous unlawful actions since then regarding her status - for example, they have provided a risk assessment to prove they have accommodated her needs whilst pregnant except it's signed by everyone apart from my fiancé who has never seen it before in her life.

The final straw was this morning when her employers paid everyone except my fiancé and now we are left to pay all the bills and the mortgage with my low salary; I simply don't earn enough. Not to mention we are expecting our first child in March and whilst this is supposed to be such a happy time for us, it has been the most stressful. Neither of us can sleep properly and it's affecting my performance at work.

We fully intend to take the college to tribunal but that won't happen until the Summer and that's assuming we can afford to pay for a solicitor to take our case on.
We desperately need money to stay afloat or we will lose everything. Anything you can give, even if it's only one pound, will help. Please let me say a heartfelt thank you if you choose to donate.

Want to clear my credit card debt of £1700

Posted by scooby on 2012-01-26 06:58:37

I don't have a sob story. I'm really very lucky. This debt accumulated whilst I was in a full time job. My hours have been reduced due to the current climate. Luclily I found another part time job but am still not earning as much as before and am just covering my bills, food and school stuff for the kids. I'd really like to clear my credit card debt but it would be really nice just to be able to find the mimimum monthly payment to pay them too. So, if you do have any money spare, I really would appreciate it.
Hi,
I am a trainee teacher at university. I am also a mum of 3 with 2 step children. I work in school as a teaching assistant to supplement my university costs as well as to gain useful knowledge for my course. As an older student, with other commitments my course follows the part-time progression route and will take me 4.5 years to complete as opposed to the standard 3 years. This means that my cost extend for an additional 18 months and whilst I love my training, current job and am excited about my future career prospects, as with most things money can be an issue and at times is very tight indeed.
I am due to start placement on the 6th February and this will inevitable incur additional costs. If possible, I would be really grateful for any donation, whatever the size, to ease my mind during this time.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and for your donation should you chose to leave one.
Claire

Hard-working single mum studying for a brighter future

Posted by alanaperry on 2012-01-25 08:58:14

Hey and thank you for reading!
A little about me; My name is Alana, I am 26 years old and am privileged enough to have two beautiful children aged 6 and 3 who make life so much more bearable when life get's me feeling a little blue.

I've always been hard-working and took evening college classes after working during the day and juggling being a mummy, then passed last year with a distinction enabling me to go to university where I am studying English and History with high hopes for a future in teaching at college level.

So far I have achieved 2:1's in all of my assignments and have just got feedback that I have gained my first 1st in an essay, so my commitment and enthusiasm and sky high right now! Not to mention that my son is so proud of my going to 'grown-up school'and I just hope that I can give us a better future and be an inspirational role model to my children as they grow up.

Like most students I stay up till 2am to complete assignments, and during the day I attend classes, lectures and school runs plus the usual mummy stuff, so my hectic schedule means that I am always kept busy!

I am asking for a little help as although I have kept my family in the same home and our living cost's haven't changed, my diesel costs have quadrupled and my income has decreased significantly. I am making ends meet by requesting every bursary, repayable student loan and any other means of repayable help I can find, but I'm about to start my second semester at uni without any of my reading list books; this totals somewhere in the region of £300 for the remaining term.

I want to do everything In can to ensure I make the most of this opportunity to do the best that I can, and whilst I have used the library and bought second-hand books where I can, most aren't readily available.

So if anyone reading this would like to help me out, I would appreciate it more than I could express in this message, and will respond to every single donation! Any little amount would be a blessing, even the pennies count! I can't cut back any more of my outgoings.

Thank you so much for reading this far! Here's to working hard for a better future! Yours gratefully, Alana and her little (monsters) angels

Help for my new home please

Hi, I have recently moved into my first social housing property with my little boy. Whilst I am so very grateful to have our home,I am stuggling to furnish it. I would love to make a nice home for my son & I for the future.

I work part time and like many people, dont have any surplace spends at the end of the month

I would be grateful for any help towards the cost of this that anyone can offer me.

Thank you very much.

Please help with some income through PGCE at uni!

I am asking for help as in September I am doing a PGCE in Maths at university. Unfortunately I will not be entitled to a bursary as I received a third in my honours degree and Gove has decided in his wisdom not to fund people with thirds!
I have worked in a secondary school for 4 years covering for absent teachers and have proven myself to be effective in the classroom. I believe teaching is my vocation, I really want to work within the community giving something back. Whilst doing my degree, which was completed through distant learning, so I was completely on my own, I worked full time and raised two children. I have worked really hard to get where I am and have never asked for anyone's help until now! I'm desperate to do it, if I could work during it I would but it is such a time consuming training course I would never have the hours in the day to do it!
I hope you can find it in your heart to help me.

Thank you for listening.

My Beautiful Sister

Posted by Believeingod on 2012-01-24 15:58:49

and thanks for reading this,that in itself is appreciated, I am not really sure how this works but a friend told me about this after reading about it in a magazine article.
Well let me start at the begining, for the last 20 years I have worked for the same company and never had a days sickness, yes not one single day, in October 2011 I went to work one day and just quit felling I had just had enough, I did not tell them I was feeling depressed & suicidal and sick, I just said I no longer want to work here and I left that day.
As I was depressed and on the verge of killing myself, something I had actually felt for many years, I spent the next three days at home not washing,cleaning or speaking to anyone, I looked on the internet and searched "The best way to commit suicide" I was that low, I had no money and in fact had huge debts, to my friends and family I was always the strong one always the one person they could rely on,but reality was I was a broken man my spirit my soul was empty I wanted to die.
After those three days of no sleep and thoughts of how I would die I took a shower, whilst in the shower I just completely broke down I just lay on the floor in uncontrolable crying I just lay there for about an hour, and suddenly it came to me that I needed to speak to some one and quick.
Enter my Sister, since childhood my Sister has been like a mother to me(My own mother left when I was 3) she is truly a beautiful person a wonderful role model and just the most fantastic spirited person I know. Why I had not just told her how I felt at the start I just dont know, because we talk about everything, maybe its the depression and anxiety of it all, I dont know.
I called her in tears and told her I need her to come over, she was here within half an hour, we spent the day crying she more than me, I was kinda cried out, she had never seen me cry since I was probably ten years old, that is probably a sadness in itself.
She did everything for me in those early days, took me to my Doctors a Doctors I had not been to in 10 years, it had been that long that when we booked the appointment I was informed my Doctor died 4 years ago. Anyway I was put under a mental health program and prescribed Anti-depressants and also some sleeping tablets(these killed me my spirit and thoughts were numbed). my sister has been my Angel my saviour, there is no doubt in my mind I would be dead now if it was not for my sister, thinks are still bad, very bad at times, but I see my sister every day she comes around cooks,talks does coffee and is constantly on the phone(sometimes this does my head in) but I understand that she is scared that I may harm myself,she has come to the doctors and psychiatrist with my giving me huge support and a hand to hold that I needed, I cant tell you in words how special she is to me, I am not actually suicidal at the moment although I still think if I got a terminal illness this would be ideal, mad I know but I am being honest, I have huge debts and on sick benefit but this is not enough to live on or enough to pay debts. I actually owe £50,000 and I know this will never be paid so I will lose my home and everything else that goes with bankruptcy, but I will always have my sister their supporting me, she has helped me financially for three months but I dont want this to continue its wrong.
Well now to my BEG, well I dont want money for my debts I understand they are way too much to ever believe I can pay them back, no the reason I want help is because later this year my sister is 50 yes the big Five O and for the last three years she has been kinda planning what she will do and where she will go, she has decided that she wants to rent a Villa in Spain and have all her friends & family come for one week, when we discussed this last year obviuosly I was always included in this week, but I do not want her paying for me its Her birthday after all, I will not be able to pay my own way and I will not be working in the next few months as I am soon to under go councilling, the truth is I dont really want to go as I am actually feeling stressed about it all, hoping it goes away, but at the same time I understand how much it means to her to have me there, I know she wont take no for an answer and will want to pay for me.
All I ask is that if anyone on here could donate so I can at least pay some part in some way to my own way.She is not going until August or September and I think it will cost around £300 as a guess maybe slightly more.
If just a little from a lot of people then I can make some head way, or if you just want to mail me if you have similar problems as I have learned that talking problems through does help.
I know its a long beg but I want you to know the background.
Thanks for reading and hopefully you can help in some small way.

Please Help if you can

Please help me move out of our mouldy rented home!

Posted by sleepyferret1 on 2012-01-24 13:58:12

I am a 32 year old woman and i live with my 14 year old daughter and my 40 year old fiance of 12 years! We have always had money problems because whilst i have worked in retail, my fiance has had trouble finding a permanent full time job. I have been the breadwinner all of this time. We now have stable, permanent full time jobs and are working hard to pay off our debts that have been building up.

During the past 6 and a half years we had to downgrade our property and rent a small damp home in a rough part of town. The mould is getting increasingly worse and i have to de-mould the walls and windows every 3 weeks. The house smells damp and it is hard to retain the heat as there is no double glazing. The agency is aware of the problem but the landlord doesnt want to shell out any money to fix the cause of the mould/damp so has given us a dehumidifier!!
We are too embarrassed to invite friends or family over and likewise so is my daughter.

My fiance and i have been working to pay off all the debts that built up (£2,000 rent arrears £1,500 water rates, £500 council tax and a £1,500 electric bill). Thankfully we only owe £500 rent now and aim to pay this off by the end of may.

What we will struggle to do is save up a deposit for our next rented property. It will probably be about £1,000 for a months rent in advance and a deposit. We will get our deposit back from this house which is £380, and we will save as much as poss ourselves. We would all really like to move before summer as this house only has a tiny backyard and it doesn't even get any sunlight. The washing doesn't even dry out there!!
Any donations would be greatfully received and very much appreciated. The sooner we move, the better!

Family in need of help after suicide

Posted by fowc1 on 2012-01-24 12:58:04

Not quite sure how to start this but here goes..... I am a 24 year old mother of a beautiful 2 year old boy. We live in England and really need some help. My partner is a bus driver and works 50+ hours a week. He gets a ton of abuse and gets threatened on a weekly basis but does it to try and provide for his family. I work in retail as much as i can whilst juggling my son. We are both committed to working as we want to show our son good work ethics. My Dad committed suicide in 2009 and from then on our financial situation has got increasingly worse. Whilst tryin to support our own little family we are also having to support my Mum who is depressed and stuggling to cope financially. For anyone who has been there I'm sure you can understand how hard this is.
We now have a mountain of debt which we need to try and pay back whilst still paying our rent, bills and supporting my Mum.
If anyone can help us out of this awful situation we would be eternally grateful. Thankyou for taking the time to read this.
