Post a Beg Now!

Nobody cares

Posted by bmaxey on 2012-05-24 17:58:41

I try to work, but no jobs. Those jobs I find, I cant get to because of the local bus schedules.

All I need is 580.00 to pay rent this month, but I do not think anyone will help. Probably nobody will see this post, so I guess I am wasting my time.

I have tried this site in the past and it never works. I guess I;ll stop worrying about anything from now on, what's the use.

I cant even get a bank account, so PayPal is not going to work even if those that read this wanted to help in the first place.

Too much to ask for someone here in Utah willing to help me.

Very sad, Bob

Please help!

HI, my name is Michael. For the longest time I've been wanting to do something about my teeth. I can't remember the last time I smiled in a picture or go out for a meal without worrying about what I can or can't eat or chew. I would like to feel normal again one day. But at the moment that's the least of my problems with eviction about a month away we are stuck with two small children (2 & 5) and no money thanks to mounting bills and benefit cuts. Last year I was forced to leave my job due to health problems. I'm waiting to have surgery on my hip in a month or so and hopefully I can get back to work before Christmas. I have never done this before but I am desperate, I feel I let my family down. Any donation however small would be appreciated we have nothing left to sell.Would be willing to pay back any loans once I'm back on my feet again. Thank you.

please help us pay this months rent to prevent being homeless:((

omg i guess i came to the right place because i am begging someone to please please help us pay our rent so we want wont be put out.It was never my intent to be a begger and i never thought i would stoop so low as to beg others for what they work hard for and earned but god will bless u truly.We are very sincere people who work hard when given an opportunity but unfortunately we fail behind when my husband lost his job and just can seem to get at the hole.Now we have been served with an eviction and dont have any of the money and i just dont know who else to turn to.Im so depressed and worried,worrying is all I can do right now because I just dont want to see my babies out on the street with no where to call home.I am truthfully in dire need please help someone.I myself have a heart of gold and if i have it I would do it for you as well in your time of need.We just need a boost out the hole we have fallin in and I know life we get better for my family.Thank u so much for listening to me

Help me fly my girlfriend to Florida (to live)

Posted by Jedi on 2012-05-04 07:58:01

I'm from Mississippi, went to Oklahoma last year to see my mum, sistera, uncle.. started helping out an old friend/employer & one evening while fixing the boss' dad's computer for free, met a girl, love at first sight. Then, my parents got me to come back to MS to try out a job. I got the job, very enjoyable, $10/hr, but couldn't forget the girl, she was going crazy thinking I was ignoring her online, I was working & didn't check my messages frequently enough. So I missed her, she missed me.. I came back to OK the day after my birthday & we started our relationship. Everything was perfect. Then, she started losing it, getting stressed for no apparent reason. It turned out the boss had been feeding her meth.(this was oklahoma, after all) so we move out to be happy together, all december we just spent the money I had accumulated working in MS, then stayed in bed together until about New Years, when the boss came around.. we went to casino with her and started working for the ol' boss again, because my job search attempts during December had been fruitless without a vehicle or $ for transportation. So, living with the boss again, problems/drama came back around, my girlfriend would occasionally disappear for 3 days with no communication. I would worry about her, couldn't sleep, worrying/wondering.. we took off to Kansas to get away from the meth-heads. left everything behind, just took a few clothes & ewch other. Everything was perfect.. then my girlfriends aunt started feeding her lies and meth. Effin' meth. girls really get hooked on the stuff. so my first Valentines day was ruined because my girlfriends aunt fed her drugs and lies (i must be a cop because i wont smoke meth with them) and made her think she hates me. She also broke my phone in half and physically assaulted me, but I don't hit females, no matter how obnoxious.. I went back to Oklahoma to work with the boss. this was okay for awhile, but being depressed and lonely, having nothing else to livs for, i stuck with it, no matter how stressful. I was working(for weak pay, but i had free use of vehicles and a place to stay, this was Meth City, Oklahoma, after all - I was the only licensed, insured driver & trustworthy worker they had. I was hoping to accumulate enough funds to take a trip to KS and rescue her from corruption, or at least get her an android to keep in touch, but that never happens when the boss pays you then borrows it back. eventually, the boss' husband went crazy, thought everybody was supplying his wife drugs, or having sex with her, neither of which was I doing, but he kicked everyone out except his nephew, which turned out to be who the one who had sexted his wife from my phone. They were having a relationship, aunt & nephew, which disgusts me.. Anyway, I w(as kicked out as well, my grandparents wanted me to come to Florida to help, meanwhile, my ex comes back from KS with a boyfriend, i get a greyhound ticket to FL.. then the ex kicks her new bf back to KS, comes over needing a place to sleep & get away from meth. I give her uninterrupted sleep, feed her, etc.. and pretty soon we are together again. Nobody helps me get her a ticket to FL for what happened in KS, and before long, matching tickets are sold out. After a hellish, lonely journey in Greyhound, I end up in what seems like paradise, lonely, depressed. My girlfriend wants to get out of Meth City, and I've been trying to make the money with no luck. its been about a week now. My GF texted me how she is heartbroken and wants me to get her out of there. I need to fly her to Jacksonville airport, get her a ride to the nearest airport, and feed her, and I think it can all be accomplished for about $400. I do have intentions of repaying anyone that helps, once I start making money out here. All i need is about $400 to get her out of that drug infested town and out here to the country where she will be away from it all, distracted by lizards, squirrels, bunnies, etc. This girl means the world to me, she's had a rough life, and I want to make her life better like it should be. $400 will get her here to FL with me and I can take over from there, and when I repay, it will be more than was originally contributed, as it should be. this is "begslist" so: Pleeeeeeeease?

finding a way

Posted by hopefully on 2012-03-25 10:58:13

Today, I'm not posting a beg for help. I really do not think I will get any. I'm going to post how I feel and how we're doing. Get things off my chest so I can move on with my day because I'm stressed out.

We were contacted by a new company. We are now set up to work and doing work for them. We had people loan us money and time to get things ready so we could work for them. It takes money to make money and so on.

My husband and son drive to this area for the job which is hours away. They were not given enough material for the job, so twice they had to buy material.( thank goodness for the loan) This put them way behind schedule and they could not complete the job yesterday. Now you come to the point of, do you spend $100.00 on gas and hours driving or try and find a cheap place to stay. Well we couldn't afford the place to stay nor the gas (profit margin thing),so they slept in the truck. I didn't sleep well worrying.

Today they get to the place to complete the job and the guard said to them "we really don't allow people to work here on Sunday". He lets them in anyway, they are hopeful that if they wait until noon, they won't get thrown out. Mind you this is construction work and this is a upscale neighborhood with I guess a policy against noise, construction work on Sundays.

I am thankful for the work, I wish it had gone smoother yesterday, yes, we will make a little money if they can complete this job today.

I am going to pray for the little things again today and be thankful for what we have. I have taken to talking to god a lot lately. I'm tired of talking about my problems to friends and family.

If you read this post say a prayer, I'm praying for all us. May God bless us all, Hopefully

Please help my family

Posted by BigBeggar on 2012-03-09 14:58:20

Hi, I'm a 33 year old man with a wife and child and cannot make ends meet. I am £12,000 in debt. I can't pay my rent or provide food and clothes for my family. In a few individual moments of weakness I've taken payday loans online and even a logbook loan (secured on my car) to try and get by. But I am only able to pay these each month. I am at a point now where my house could be taken from me for non payment of rent and my family will face life on the streets. I thought things would get better, but I simply can't do this anymore. I have even contimplated taking my own life as things are that bad. But quickly realised that it is a very spiteful thing to do. I've made mistakes and now I'm paying for them. I just want to be able to live without worrying about losing everything this includes my family as we are at breaking point. I am a very proud man and normally would never consider begging.

Working From Home & Need £150 Urgent Help

Posted by Design4Life on 2012-03-08 09:58:33

I am currently stuck at home unable to go out to work because my elderly mother had an accident and needs me to keep an eye on her all day. I'm trying to set up a business selling my art from home but I'm not yet making any sales. Today I found out my sister has been rushed into hospital with a nasty foot infection so now we have the worry of making sure her daughter's looked after. I'm in immediate need of £150 (approx US$240) to pay bills this weekend. Beyond that, if I could raise £300 (approx US$475) per month it would take all the weight off my mind and I would be able to develop my business free of worry. I am 100% genuine, very enterprising and my work has received much praise. I just do not have any spare money and have suffered a bad run of luck. I really hope someone out there is kind enough to help me and my family get through this worrying time. Thank you very much for reading.

Drowning in Despair and Desperation

Posted by Revan on 2012-03-05 00:58:30

I'm a 23 year old man barely making ends meet. I am thousands of dollars in debt. I can't pay my rent or my credit card and car loan payments, or any of my utilities really. In a moment of weakness I've taken payday loans online to try and get by. Suffice it to say, the payments are killing me. Ever since I've pretty much given all of my money to someone I cared deeply for, I've been in a downward spiral. I've never even considered begging before. My pride simply would not allow it. I thought things would get better, but I simply can't do this anymore. I need some kind of relief. I've made foolish mistakes and I'm paying dearly for them. I just want to be able to live without worrying about losing everything.

yound and struggling with debt :(

Posted by kel12 on 2012-03-04 16:58:06

due to the recent recession i recently lost my job for the company that i had worked for since i was 16, i am now 23. As a result lately i have been inbetween low paid factory jobs. Watching payday loan adverts on the tellyy i became very drawn and and i am now in about £800 debt. With earning such low wages i am only able to defer the loans each month. Endless sleepless nights worrying about how to get rid of them are tiring me out. I have tried for small debt consolidation loans but always get refused and the local citizens advice was no help at all. If you could help a tiny bit n it all adds up im hoping I can get rid of these awful loans. My family have no money to help and I am working all the hours i can. God bless you all xxx

Recently Widowed, In dire need of help.

Posted by wpanther65 on 2012-02-17 00:58:55

Love story that actually came true. My husband and I were high school sweethearts at Mascoutah High School. Both of our dads were in the military and we lost track of one another. It took 27 years for us to find one another. We were both still in love with one another after all the years we were apart. We found one another again on face book. I moved from TX and gave up a good career to move back to Mascoutah so we could be together.

We had quite a bit of money saved up but after moving here I have had a hard time finding a full time job. I took what I could just to keep money coming in but it is only part time and pays less than half of what I was making. My husband was disabled and awaiting a liver transplant so he only had social security disability for income.

Our dream was to buy a house in Mascoutah after I found a good job but unfortunately we never got to live out that dream. 6 months after moving here his health went downhill. We used all our savings to pay rent, utilities and medical bills for him going in and out of the hospital on a regular basis. No matter how many jobs I have applied for no one even calls to give me the opportunity to interview.

After all these years we finally got married September 30, 2011. This was our dream come true. We were really looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together but unfortunately that did not happen. My husband became really ill and passed away December 8, 2011.

He was so worried about me being taken care of and he thought I would continue to get his social security disability money if something did happen to him but I knew I wouldn't and I didn't have the heart to tell him that I wouldn't. I am only 46 and I would have to be 60 to qualify for his benefits. I am just happy that he passed away thinking that I would be taken care of.

I used the last little bit of savings to pay toward his funeral expenses and I was fortunate enough to raise some money by having a trivia night in his honor. I have enough money to pay the rent for February but no money for any other bills such as utilities or any remaining funeral expenses or to even buy a headstone for him. I also have a 21 year old son that I have been putting through college and now I have no way to help him continue his education.

I rarely eat or sleep worrying about how I will survive on my own and ending up on the street homeless. Some days I wish the good lord would have just taken me at the same time because I feel so lost and alone and I lost my one and only true love.


I have never had to ask anyone for money and I feel ashamed that I am but I really want to live out our dream of buying a house in Mascoutah one day but the most important thing right now is finding a way to survive without becoming homeless. I have no one else to turn to.
Michael O. Cortez, born Friday, Oct. 18, 1963, died Thursday, Dec. 8, 2011, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Belleville, IL. Survived by his wife, Wanda Cortez of Mascoutah, IL. This information can be verified by: Kurrus Funeral Home 1773 Frank Scott Parkway West, Belleville, IL 62223 (618)235-2100.

You don't know how much this means to me and I would so greatly appreciate it if anyone can find it in their heart to help me. I am trying to hang in there and I am really hoping to have some kind of future to look forward to. I have worked so hard all my life and I don’t want to give up on everything that I have worked so hard for.

God Bless you all and words cannot even begin to describe how much your help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

I’m a woman with a dream. A dream to have my own successful business. Yes, I am a single mother of a great son, whom I’m supporting in college. With Robbing Peter to pay Paul, college tuition and trying hard to build a solid business with any extras I have. Which there really aren’t any extras. I make the needed sacrifice to build my business. I’m asking for your help to build a solid foundation to ensure my business is sustainable and successful. Like so many people, I received the dreaded “You are laid off” line. But, by the grace of GOD I found another job before my last one ended. I don’t want to hear that line again. Instead of worrying about losing a job I want to be in a position of creating a job (s). With your donations my business will flourish I will be in a position to pay it forward and provide a job (s) for someone else. I need $20,000 to build a solid foundation for my company. Your donation will help with supplies, inventory, and marketing. Be a part of what I truly feel is a worthy cause. I want to thank each of you who donate in advance. I’m also wishing that each of you is tripled blessed for being a blessing to me.

Costs for My Mums funeral.

Posted by pleasehelp89 on 2012-01-24 03:58:53

On December 23rd 2010 I lost my Nana who I'd lived with since being a teenager to a stroke, two days after the funeral I found out my mum had terminal cancer and she was given two weeks to live. I lost my job and my home and the two people closest to me. My father had left when I was a baby and I have no brothers or sisters, I was the only 1 left to pay for my mothers funeral I was 21 years old and just been fired from my job for having too much time off during the terrible time. I moved to Spain with the only person I had left in my life, My boyfriend who has been supporting me since then, but not being able to speak Spanish I'm finding it impossible to get work and pay off the loan I had to take out for the funeral costs. I have never done anything like this before and feel bad asking total strangers for help but my debt is piling up and I am constantly worrying about it I have just gotten over losing my mum and nana, but this just constantly gets me down!! Please Help I don't know what else to do.

Hoping for a Miracle

Posted by Simplicity on 2011-12-18 18:58:51

My husband and I have tried our best and put our best hope and foot forward in moving to another state to try and find a new beginning for both ourselves and our family. We have two children and three grandchildren back home. Right now we are at a loss for what to do. He has lost his job, and I am just about to finish school in the next month. But we are now two months behind in rent and it's christmas time. We cannot afford to buy our grandaughters anything for Christmas or even see them.We are not sleeping nights and worrying ourselves to death. I have always believed that God will take care of us, but things have gotten very hard. We do not want to be thrown into the street. Even 5 dollars would help us out. Because unfortunately we are having a great deal of trouble finding our next meal even. Thank you for your help if you decide too. And if not please keep us in your prayers because prayers do work.

Logan's Heros

Posted by cori00125 on 2011-09-17 17:58:47

I am a 32 year old working mom of three beautiful children and I have the most wonderful husband anyone could ask for. We have the perfect mid-west life. We both work full time (and enjoy what we do), have a nice home, we're able to afford some luxuries in life although in moderation, that is enough for me. I enjoy cooking, and entertaining in my time off from work, and spending family time with my kids, parents, and neighbors. My children are Jordon (age 13), Logan (age 10), and Brianna (age 9). The kids are active in sports, and in our small community we are well known, and frequently can be seen volunteering at community events, church, and our local high school, of which we are both alumni. I live less than two miles from the home I grew up in. Sounds perfect if you ask me.

On February 18th, 2011 our son Logan (age 10) was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. He was not having many symptoms only occasional headaches. I was concerned that he may have been developing migraines and so I took him to see our family physician. His physical exam was normal including a rather thorough neurological exam. Dr. Arntz agreed with my initial thought and prescribed him some migraine medication. What a relief! He asked us to get a CT scan of Logan's head only as a precaution and he even stated that he didn't think there was any real concern, just a precaution. 5 days later, we were heading to the University of Michigan; Mott's childrens hospital because his precautionary CT scan had confirmed the worst for us. A 6 cm brain tumor in the posterior fossa of Logan's brain. Causing the cerebral spinal fluid to back up and create pressure in his head (hence the headaches).

Before leaving the house for the hospital we gave Logan a brief description of the problem, and explained to him that we didn't know what was going to happen next but we were going to the hospital to find out. You could see the worry on him but he was tough, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I guess I better call it something, I think I'll name it Steve." So off we went, notifying family on the way to the hospital, and completely sick to my stomach.

Three days later we would embark on the scariest days of my life. Logan was promptly scheduled for surgery the following Monday and we were told there was a high probability that the tumor was cancerous. Dr. Cormac Maher performed 14 hours of brain surgery on Logan on Monday February 21st, and confirmed our fears that Logan indeed had a cancerous brain tumor called medulloblastoma. Then more bad news the post operative MRI showed that they had been able to remove all of the tumor and Logan would need more surgery. The next day he underwent another 6 hours of brain surgery. We caught it early but based on where the tumor sat he may not be able to talk or walk normally for 3-6 months. Lucky for us he talks and walks very well all things considered. But there has been radiation therapy and chemo therapy will continue until February or March of next year. There is a 75-80% chance of survivability, I feel blessed with those odds.

Logan is doing very well but this situation has put an incredible financial burden on us. I am falling behind on bills and need help. Andy is working constantly and I even started a second job on the weekends to try to help supplement the lost income from prescriptions, gas to and from the hospital, and just having to take time off work for appointments and Logan's sick days... I don't know what else to do. The banks have tried thankfully to work with us but our circumstance is not going to change for quite awhile longer. Our family's do not have a lot of money, and have already tried to help so much that I think it may be putting a strain on them as well. The church sends gas cards occasionally but there is just not enough to keep us going for the next year.

Here' s the kicker, Logan started his own Relay for Life team. I had taken him to a local expo about 3 weeks after he had been discharged from the hospital because I thought it would be good exercise for him to walk around and there would be lot's to look at, and there was a booth for the American Cancer Society. He walked up to the lady at the booth and he said " How old do you have to be to have a team?" She signed him up on the spot. Logan Bailey's Super Survivors have raised $8300.00 for the American Cancer Society! He's only a little more than $1600.00 away from his goal of raising $10000.00 for the Relay for Life. We've held auctions, bake sales, and concerts. It's been a wonderful distraction for him and he is super excited about reaching that fund-raising goal. We have asked our friends to contribute to his goals in lieu of giving us personal financial assistance. It's more important to me that his endeavors to do more for others, are successful.

We cannot change Logan's circumstance. He will always be a brain cancer survivor, and I will forever be a medullo-mom. But, if we can make this even minutely easier for others having to face it after us then we will do it. Logan donated "Steve the brain tumor" to medical research and he volunteered to participate in a medical research trial for his treatments. We hope that the money raised for the American Cancer Society will make a difference in research and support for anyone suffering with a cancer diagnosis. We hope that the research will make the work of wonderful, selfless, people like Dr. Maher and his team easier and more successful. If I had been diagnosed with this same type of cancer at the age of ten it would have been a terminal diagnosis... the research is working!!

I need help, I need financial help for my family so that we can stop the worrying over finances and concentrate on bringing our entire family through this successfully looking at it in a positive light and remembering that we did it with hearts full of love and with others in mind. Logan is a truly remarkable child and I am so proud of him. I anxiously await your response Thank you for your consideration.

Please help me pay for my son's emergency surgey

Posted by scoffsmom on 2011-08-25 21:58:08

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.

On 6/29/11 my 13 year old son called me at work crying that his ball hurt. I immediately left worked worrying that it was a Testicular Torsion. Unfortunately I was correct. I gave them his insurance card, (his insurance is court ordered to be supplied by my ex husband my little ones father). Well now I am receiving bills because my son is no longer covered by the insurance that I was told he had. I found this out by receiving the first bill. If I would have known he was no longer covered by his father's insurance I would have covered him under mine, he is now but too late to cover his surgery. So far I have received a total of $5,000.00 in medical bills and have received nothing from the hospital itself just the Anesthesiologist, Xray/Ultrasound and lab tests. I am still anticipating a hospital bill and the Surgeons bill.

Any help you can possibly gve me would be greatly appreciated.

I wish to thank you right now for your help be it a monetary donation or by your prayers. May God Bless You.

Christian Single Mother Looking for a Life-Line

Posted by clairmanno on 2011-08-17 14:58:11

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my plea.

My name is Faith and I am a Christian mother of two school aged children.

I am filled with gratitude and thanks to God for all the blessings he has given me. The greatest gifts that I have been given are my two children.

I have never reached out to anyone for help, but today I feel compelled to reach out. I have been unable to sleep or eat for months, my hair is falling out from stress and my body is covered in hives.

I know that my hands are tied, I cannot solve my financial problems on my own. I have tried, I work full time, I have been doing additional work, cleaning homes, doing paid research studies, etc. I know that God has the power to put the right people and the right circumstances in our lives to solve any problems, even if they seem impossible.

I am literally drowning in debt. It feels like I am in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and I keep going down deeper and deeper.

My son was born with Congenital Heart Disease and required Open Heart Surgery. Due to complications and financial shortcomings as a result of my son's surgery, my children and I were forced to leave our home. I found another home for us to live in. Less than a year after moving into our new home, both of my kids became very ill. My son was once again hospitalized. This time he was bleeding internally. We found out that the home we were living in was full of Stracybotrus Mold, the home was deemed uninhabitable. I was told by multiple doctors and by environmental companies that we must leave our home. I was told that I must throw away anything that I had that could not be dipped in bleach to get rid of the mold spores. I rented a large dumpster, the kind that has the stairs on the side to climb up. I literally threw away almost everything that my kids and I have ever owned. I was forced to throw away all of our mattresses, couches, pillows, stuffed animals, stuffed animals, dolls,toys, toaster, curtains, etc. Just imagine everything that you have in your home, if I can't be dipped in bleach, it had to be thrown away.

The health of my children was more important to me that any material possession, so I was OK with throwing it all away.

We are now in another home and I am struggling to replace everything that I had to throw away. I have started with beds for the kids and toys to replace what we had to throw away.

We lost everthing. We lost the money that we put down on the mold house, we lost all the money I put into the mold house trying to make it a home, we lost all of our possessions. But, we have not lost our faith or our gratitude.

I am currently about $20,000 in debt, past due on mortgage, utilities, and credit card bills.

If you can find it in your heart to donate any amount, my family would be so grateful. I really do not care about myself, I buy all my clothes at second hand stores or garage sales, I cut my own hair and eat only things that are really inexpensive like Top Ramen. What I do care about though is my kids. They have suffered enough in their short lives and I want them to feel safe, warm and secure. I have protected them from the financial storm as much as possible, but I know that they see my crying and worrying about the bills, so this is why I am asking for help.

Thank you again for reading my plea.
