Between a Rock & a Hard Place

Posted by hardput on 2012-05-14 17:58:30

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.

please help this single mom and pray to be stronger

Posted by twinightraerae on 2012-05-07 23:58:39

I am a single Mom of three wonderful children. But it is finacialy
difficult. I had a great factory job but was injured on the factory line and fired for it. It has been difficult to find a job that after childcare, I can't earn enough money to pay the bills. Two of my children have special needs, my oldest with her difficulties will be repeating two grades in elementry, !st grade and failing this year, 3rd grade. My second child is mild autistic, and will have to repeat 1st grade. Both children are taken out of the classrooms for resource classes. It has been a while and all of my savings have been used to suport us all.
My x left us in Nov 2006, and we have not seen him since. Years of refusing to pay childsupport and he is 24,000 in arrears, managed to get SSI just for himself, so child support is only $50 a mo and $10 mo to pay back for arrears. I am asking for help so that I can help pay off the growing bills I can't afford anymore. I don't own anything I could sell. I feel as if I am drowning, falling unable to pay surounded with past due notices and collections calls and feel like the end of my rope. Please help, even small amounts in collection are blessings. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!! I am greatful for even someone taking the time to read my note, please if nothing eles take a moment and pray for me to be stronger, I feel so weak and worn out from the long battle to stay afloat. Thank you and god Bless.






Thank You




Saving myself

Posted by hopefully on 2012-04-27 23:58:15

Earlier today I tried getting a checking account. My credit is so poor I can't open one. How pathetic. I am posting this because I want out. I have been married for 30 years. I married at the ripe age of 18. I produced three children. I have tried to do everything right, never fooled around, have been the perfect wife. Was a stay at home mother until my children went to school. Started working for the school system so I could be home when my children got home from school. Did the sports, you name it. I'm tired of being verbibly abused and not trusted. I tired of the bills not being able to be paid and getting collection calls. I have tried to earn money, have even gone back to school to get a higher education. My husband hates me going to school and gives me a hard time. He informed I can't go this summer, I can't attend classes.I am worn out and fed up. I can't leave because I can't support myself. My credits ruined so even if I try to get a better job and they check my credit they wouldn't want to higher me. That's my story, yes I'm begging for money, because I want out, to start over, find myself and be happy. No I don't want another man in my life. I need to find me and be happy, before I can ever think about trying to be with someone else. So pathetic that I let this happen to myself, where did I go wrong.

Would love to get to travel before school starts

Posted by wanderlusting on 2012-02-19 21:58:40

Hello,
I am an 18 year old student who has never been able to travel away from home. My parents said that this summer if I can raise the money I can go travel. I recently have been able to get my passport from selling off clothes I haven't worn but am now broke. Now I don't know what to do, I've sold just about everything I can to be able to save some money. I have extreme wanderlust and need to be able to go out and see another part of the world before I am stuck at home again for four years. If I can come up with the money to travel I plan on starting a blog to tell about my adventure. What I really want to do is volunteer in a developing country, but even those cost at least $600 without airfare. Any donations even if it is a dollar would help me out greatly. Please help a budding traveler out, it would bring you good karma.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

**BATTERED SINGLE, HOMELESS MOTHER OF TWO**

Posted by charlyfran2008 on 2012-02-05 14:58:47

Hello. I am newly (8 weeks ago) single mother of 2 boys (ages 3, 6) and I have recently left my abusive husband. I remained in the relationship for 7 years and am have just now gotten the courage and willpower to leave. The relationship and the last beating before I left (by far the worst) left me 75 percent unable to see in my right eye.This has resulted in us being homeless with no financial help or backing.
I no longer qualify for TANF (WELFARE) and all I get is food stamps once a month. We are currently residing in a homeless shelter in downtown St. Louis where we have to leave every morning at 6 am (rain, snow, or shine). I go to the library with my children daily and we read together just to get out of the cold. I am happy to be free from years of abuse, but at the same time I am severely depressed because of my living and financial situation.
My wish is to get funds for one month at a studio extended stay hotel, funds for interview clothes (I have gotten several interviews and then when I go, they HR reps are immediately turned off by my unkempt, worn and inappropriate so called interview attire), funds for a bus pass to get to more interviews (I walk for now), and funds for minor toiletries. I know that with my resume and decent interview attire that I can get a decent full time job within one month's time.
It would help so much toward my short term goal, which is to attain full time stable employment and provide a stable and healthy living situation for my two boys. Thanks so much in advance and I appreciate all help and donations, no matter how big or small. Feel free to send all donations to paypal account name charlyfran2008@hotmail.com

boys/womens/teen girl clothes, printers, small tvs, vhs tapes

Posted by needhelpsoon on 2012-01-11 16:58:30

all the boys clothes are actually mens size I guess. Nothing crazy, straight up jeans, from 31/31-34/34. All worn once or twice due to a growth spurt. Printers all good condition, need ink. have a couple small tvs, good for bedrooms. Lots of vhs tapes and cassette tapes. Also have an amazing quality poto equipment someone gave me to sell to pay for bills, but having trouble finding correct place to go-its a toyo view large format.

Clothes Needed in Current Size for Job Search

Posted by AppreciativeRecipient on 2011-12-18 13:58:53

Please consider sending even a dollar to help create a clothing fund for an out-of-work person who normally works in an office. Due to the stress of long-term unemployment (very little and very low-paying work in the past three years), weight has shot up from a Size 6/8 to a Size 14/16, XL. There is almost no business wear and very little casual wear that fits. Shoes are very worn and pinch. Bras do not fit and create pain as there is a breast tumor involved. No family or friend network exists that can help with these needs. The biggest need is a winter coat that will button that is suitable for wear with an interview suit (also a need).

Thank you. Bless you. I can make even $10 or $20 go a very long way.

Never thougth I'd ask for help...

Posted by wolfchild1980 on 2011-12-14 01:58:06

Never in all my lifetime did I even think for a moment that I would be the one asking others for help, but here I am, after a decade working in Public Safety, I have been left with no other course of action save to ask others to lend a hand where they can. I'm worn to the bone with worry, I've learned that I have no option to renew my lease the end of December and will thus find myself without a roof above my head in the dead of winter. I've been fighting for my disability now for just over a year, I am a sufferer of PTBC (Post Traumatic Brain Change) due to an accident in my youth, a condition that affects my ability now to work in any normal occupation or even manage my own emotions very well. I have managed to set aside a bit of the money I need to resolve my housing situation and have located a small Coachman Camper that, even though it requires a little TLC, would provide adequate housing for the winter. As of today I am roughly $1000 short of the needed goal - and as badly as I loath asking, any help no matter how small it may seem to you, would mean the world to me.
Thank You.

For once I didn't land on my feet...

I feel very ashamed of myself having to resort to this, but I am desperate to get back on my feet and take care of my son the way he deserves.
I had to leave my job due to a pesky pulmonary nodule causing breathing problems and causing me to pass out at work. I started working in a MLM type of company as an independent contractor, but first our car broke down, then we fixed it; but then I lost car insurance and registration due to expiration (no money to pay for it). I have had to borrow and repay money for rent three months in a row and my car is starting to go AGAIN...it is a 1999 Cadillac Deville with 134,000 miles, so I guess I can't complain. In the past 4 weeks, I went from a healthy 137lbs to 119lbs of skin and bones; I refuse to eat unless my son has healthy food to eat, but I am starting to feel tired and confused due to malnutrition. I don't need hundreds of thousands of dollars; I just want to get ahead. I am fortunate that my son, his father and I are able to move with friends next month, but I still have $1290 to pay on December 5th for rent so as not to lose security deposit. I need the money to get caught up on general bills, totaling approximately $3300 as well as groceries for December $400-500. I am also in need of my bipolar medication that I have not been able to aquire in 6 months when my financial situation started to decline due to poor health, car troubles, loss of tuiton money and general misfortune. I can pay out of pocket for school; I lost financial aid because I had to withdrawal for health and family reasons-2 semesters in a row of withdrawals or poor grades cause the financial aid dept to drop you. I am not a bad student and I was even inducted into Phi Theta Kappa in October 2008 for academic excellence. To sum it up; I just want to be on my feet again. I hate that my son sees mommy and daddy cry every night, because we don't know from one day to the next...will the electric get shut off next? How will we get food? Thankfully our rent will be severely reduced starting January 1st, but I just want..NEED to get ahead for once. I have sold everything I own...including my $2500 engagement ring, which I sold for a whole $145 for groceries. I do have three designer bags I haven't sold yet; I was planning to sell for Christmas money for my son, but anyone who donates and is interested, can have them. I will be eternally grateful for anyone to be kind enough to donate! If I could just receive a total of at least $5000 for bills, rent and groceries, I will be the happiest woman alive. I am not too concerned with my medication, because it is $140 per month that CAN wait, if need be. My son's well-being and future means more to me than anything. I am sorry if this is a jumbled mess; I am extremely worn out and I cannot seem to muster the thoughts to put with the emotions I am feeling right now. Thank you for any generosity and I hope that without the premium Beglist account, my story is able to find anyone willing to help a family in need.

dont know what to do :(

Hi, i have never really done anything like this before so here goes. I am 29 years old and have worked in the service industry most of my life as a cook. I have always said i was going to go back to school but i never really found the time since i have always worked 50+ hour weeks. For the last year work prospects have been dismal. You would think that service industry work is plentiful but i have been proven otherwise. Pretty much what brings me here now goes like this :
I had what i thought was a decent amount of money saved up after the restaurant i worked in closed its doors. When i had first started saving this it was originally intended to go into my college fund. After paying rent, car payment, phone bill, food, internet
along with some quality of life expenses i am down to my last 23 dollars. I have already either sold or am in the process of selling anything of value i have in my apartment (funny enough having a hard time doing that too only thing that sold quickly was my xbox 360 and my flat screen). Again, i don't know what to do. I keep doing the right thing. Looking for a job has become my job. I have tried to do everything i can to minimize my spending even down to eating one meal a day and walking to look for work (you would be surprised how after a while walking a few miles is preferable to paying 2.25 for a bus fare). As time is going by my clothing are starting to deteriorate and my shoes are worn on the outer heel of each to the point i can see my socks. I do have another pair of shoes but when you are looking for a job dress shoes i wore once at a wedding and damn near tattered jeans and super faded shirts doesn't sound like a good idea when you're trying to impress a potential employer.
I feel like i am just screwed now. Soon i wont be able to afford my cell phone payments (i need this to keep in touch for job prospects) and i am currently arranging to find somewhere to stay temporarily since i wont be able to afford my apartment anymore (makes me glad i had the forethought to pay a few months rent in advance while i still could). I don't have any family left and my 2 friends in the world and now ex girlfriend are having enough money problems of their own they couldn't help me if they wanted to. I am currently only eligible for foodshare and a reduced payment plan for my electricity. I have tried every state resource that is meant to help out people in my situation but aside from the foodshare and utilities assistance all i found was jaded city workers and disappointment.
Getting to the point i have nowhere else to turn for help aside from charity. I don't have money left and i am freaking out. I ran a laundry list of things that everybody needs and i cant afford simple things anymore like soap, shoes , toothpaste and clothing.
I am planning on getting what i need together and go to college since i don't want to be a cook for the rest of my life but i need some help. Anything that can be thrown towards my expenses so i can keep my head above water until i manage to find a job and pay for my high school transcripts to be translated so i can apply for financial aid and go to school (i am aware that college is not a solution to my situation but i can at least take that time to learn something new that i can apply to hopefully increasing my earning potential). I cant do this if i am homeless.
So please anything can help since its more than i make right now. I am scared and i honestly do not think i will fare well homeless in the streets. I don't want to end up homeless in the dead of winter.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
Anything from 25 cents to your prayers help.

family crisis

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

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

I Dont know what else to do...

I am so embarrassed that I have no other avenue to turn to, and believe me when I say that my entire being depends upon have a way out of this jam. It happened three months ago when I moved back to Las Vegas because I couldn't find a job in AZ. A friend of mine offered to let me stay on his couch until I could find a job and I thought things were gonna turn around for me at last. Days turned to weeks and weeks into months and still no job. Anyway after 4 months my welcome had worn out and my "friend" said I needed to find somewhere else to live or if I wanted, he could get me some side work to pay rent. I of course, accepted. Two nights later, he called and told me to meet him at an address by the airport and I could make $250 in one night. When I arrived, I was told that I would be sucking off about 10 guys and allow them to anally penetrate me - I had little choice in the matter and allowed these men, some with enormous penises to use me at some points in the evening, 2 and three at a time. By 6am I was violated every way possible - that's when my friend walked up to me and forced me to lick his butthole and swallow his juices in front of everyone. It turns out that they filmed the whole thing and now I need $2500.00 to buy the video or it will be put on the internet. So please help me and save my life.

The angel is now in need of an angel Desperate Please help

I can’t believe my life has come to this. First and foremost, it is important to know that I am a hardworking, responsible individual. I love going to work every day as a child and family therapist knowing that I have the ability to help make positive changes in others’ lives. I also, for whatever reason, feel very uncomfortable asking for help. I don’t think I have ever asked anyone for financial help in my life, let alone a “donation”. I was always taught that if you want something…. YOU WORK FOR IT! I have had a job since I was 13 yrs old and it taught me to appreciate the value of the dollar and hard work. But what happens when you physically can’t? My values speak to who I was, who I am and who I want to be and why I am worthy of your help.
• Be respectful, giving, loving and kind to others.
• Treat others as you would want to be treated.
• First and foremost dedication to my family and friends
• If you want something, you have to work for it because nothing in life is free
• Work hard and you can achieve anything you set your mind to
• If you believe in something, be passionate about it
• Love what you do for work – Life is too short
• Do not be selfish, but selfless – be there or give to others as much as you can
Resilient for many years –struggling through a childhood of undiagnosed ADHD - low self esteem, disruptive and impulsive behaviors, poor attention, disorganization, ambivalence about making life decisions, flunking out of college my freshman yr at 18 yo (which led to me having to pay any subsequent schooling on my own), moving and attending a new school at the beginning of my 8th grade year with a scoliosis brace that had to be worn 23 hours a day, having major surgery at 14 yo and missing 3 months of my freshman yr. As an adult, moving from NJ to Ma away from my family who I was extremely close to due to a marriage that didn’t work, losing my father to cancer and watching him waste away in front of me and feeling helpless. I did return to school as an adult committed to helping others and figuring out my own insecurities. Over 7 yrs (25-32 yrs old) received my bachelors degree from Rutgers University with high honors and my masters in clinical social work from Columbia University also with honors.
I know what I am capable of and I know how much I have to give to others. But at this point in my life, I also need to be honest with myself about my physical limitations.
When I was 12 yo I was diagnosed with a severe case of scoliosis and had to wear a body brace for 1 ½ yrs. Bad timing, I guess… I had just moved and was starting my 8th grade yr in a new school. Two yrs later (1983) I had major reconstructive surgery (14 hours, in a body cast 6 mos, couldn’t ride in a car or sit for more than 15 mins a day for 3 mos) and my spine was fused from T3 to L4 – all at 14 yo! Over the years, my back problems were just “part of my life”. Now at 43 I am disabled and in need of another major surgery due to collapsed discs that are compressing the nerves in my lower back. The pain I endure is affecting my ability to sit, stand or walk to any period of time. I had to leave my last job as an outpatient therapist a couple of years ago due to my inability to commit to a schedule because of my pain. I have been taking pain pills, which I do not want to become addicted to and have worked out an arrangement with a caring chiropractor. Not to mention at work I have kids, teens and their families who depend on me to help them, some of who I don’t charge because they can’t afford it. So, my schedule is minimal, my bills are racking up and I continue to try to help people sometimes at my own expense (physical). I have no health insurance because I can’t afford it, I live in a 800 square foot apartment that I share and I drive a 1998 Nissan Maxima that has over 200,000 miles on it! I don’t have “things” because I don’t NEED material things. It kills me to ask for help, especially monetary. It’s hard for me to accept help but I have no problem giving, lending or helping other people. My friends say that I give “too much”, but I feel that if I have it to give or I can do something to help someone else be happier, less stressed or more comfortable than I will. And I’ve been taken advantage of many times because of this – for example, 3 yrs ago, I lent a co-worker $5000 to assure that as a single mother she would have a dependable car for her and her 3 kids. She has not paid me anything yet. Gave another friend my car for 2 weeks to use because her car was in the shop and she couldn’t afford a rental. It was definitely an inconvenience, having to walk to and from work a mile, having to way to run errands until the weekend, etc. But I did it because I knew how much it meant to her and how much it helped. I then find myself thinking … who will be my angel when I need one?? And I do…. Please, please help!! I don’t have a choice right now. I need surgery, physical therapy/personal training in order to continue working for others. Thank you so much for any contribution you can make! God Bless!

I can’t believe my life has come to this. First and foremost, it is important to know that I am a hardworking, responsible individual. I love going to work every day as a child and family therapist knowing that I have the ability to help make positive changes in others’ lives. I also, for whatever reason, feel very uncomfortable asking for help. I don’t think I have ever asked anyone for financial help in my life, let alone a “donation”. I was always taught that if you want something…. YOU WORK FOR IT! I have had a job since I was 13 yrs old and it taught me to appreciate the value of the dollar and hard work. But what happens when you physically can’t? My values speak to who I was, who I am and who I want to be and why I am worthy of your help.
Be respectful, giving, loving and kind to others.
Treat others as you would want to be treated.
First and foremost dedication to my family and friends
If you want something, you have to work for it because nothing in life is free
Work hard and you can achieve anything you set your mind to
If you believe in something, be passionate about it
Love what you do for work – Life is too short
Do not be selfish, but selfless – be there or give to others as much as you can
Resilient for many years –struggling through a childhood of undiagnosed ADHD - low self esteem, disruptive and impulsive behaviors, poor attention, disorganization, ambivalence about making life decisions, flunking out of college my freshman yr at 18 yo (which led to me having to pay any subsequent schooling on my own), moving and attending a new school at the beginning of my 8th grade year with a scoliosis brace that had to be worn 23 hours a day, having major surgery at 14 yo and missing 3 months of my freshman yr. As an adult, moving from NJ to Ma away from my family who I was extremely close to due to a marriage that didn’t work, losing my father to cancer and watching him waste away in front of me and feeling helpless. I did return to school as an adult committed to helping others and figuring out my own insecurities. Over 7 yrs (25-32 yrs old) received my bachelors degree from Rutgers University with high honors and my masters in clinical social work from Columbia University also with honors.

Need HELP!

Posted by HORTOND on 2011-07-07 11:58:13

I am in the army and im the father of a beautiful daughter. I am currently going through a custody battle so that i can be the primary custodian of my little girl. Im only an E4 in the army, so my pay isnt that great. I work a second job waiting tables just so i can make ends meet. I pay my lawyer 700 a month, thats $4300 so far! and i also am forced to pay my soon-to-be-ex wife $695 a month. Not to mention I am paying all of our debts that we accrued while we were married and my regular household bills as well. I put in over 70 hours a week and I feel like things just arent getting better. Im just wondering if there is anyone out there that is willing to help a father in need. I am trying to do everyhing i can to do what is right by my daughter but it doesnt seem like its enough. Ive paid off $14000 of debt since we have seperated and still have $20000 to go. Im worn out and tired. I am willing to provide documention and proof of all of my claims. I just need whatever help i can get. Wether it be someone generous enough to give me the money or lend me the money at a low interest rate so i can consolidate. I appreciate your time and thanks for listening.

My email is hortondenny@gmail.com if anyone would like to offer their help.
