Here I am, 42, single with 2 children, ages 10 and 12, and struggling. I got my first eviction notice in my entire life in 2/2012. I pray it is my last.
I have narcolepsy and HBP hovering between 180/110 to 211/127. I lost my health insurance at the end of April 2012. I have about 2 weeks of medications remaining.

What am I doing? I do contract work when I can find it. I baby sit and take a friend's child to school for a little money when I can. I get $500 in food stamps and $600 in child support. I have been working on my graduate degree part-time for 4 years. Now, working on the required 600 clinical hour requirement for my degree. It is sooo hard to find work, have child care and do 25 hours of unpaid clinical work, especially when you need affordable or free child care.

I need help to pay rent and buy medication. Right now, I have no employment income at all. Wow. It hurts to see it in print. How much? $6000 would sustain us until my December graduation. However, my narcolepsy medication costs $250 a month and today, gas is $3.80 a gallon. I live as cheaply as a can. I am not in any position to choose when all I have are needs.

I dont want to be this close to completing my degree, only to drop out so we can survive. Please help us. Please. If I can get through these 600 hours, and we have somewhere to live, a car to drive so I can work and we eat, I will be so grateful.

I am a single mother who is in great need of financial help. Worked all my life, and now I need help, no one is helping, and it hurts. I do not want to get evicted, because I'm worried about my 2boys, and my 2dogs...Life sometimes Stinks....WOW

Wow , Where do I start? Okay, first of all I was collecting unemployment after being laid off. Anyway apparently this quarter does not have enough in it because last year I was out of work for eight weeks following a major surgery. That's what lowered my quarter fro unemployment. I live in a rural area in Wisconsin and I have gone everywhere for help. All of the churches(which won't help), Human services which only helped with food stamps after making me wait over a month. I had to feed my kids from the food pantries which I am grateful for but they have limited items. My utilities and rent and car are all at risk right now. If I don't have a car I can't continue my job search as there is no public transportation.
To further make everything unbearable my youngest brother passed away on November 1st and we have no answers to his death. I just need someone willing to help me get back on my feet. I have taken the only job I could find for now. The pay is terrible and it's only part-time but I thought it would be easier to get a job if I were working. The pay won't cover my rent and utilities and car. I just need a break, Please help!! Please

hello. my name is Darren, recently we lost our trailor, in the country, on the beautiful land we purchased in hopes of building a home on someday. Because our nieghbors changed thier land zoning from agriculture to residential, which because we dont own enough land automatically changed our zoning so we got a 30 day notice to get rid of our home. forcing us to move into seperate homes staying with friends until we can get a double wide home to be legal on our land. my signifigant other, Melinda, has recently lost her job and has no insurance and 9 days ago fell down a flight of stairs breaking her pelvis, L-5 vertabrea, 3 ribs, tail bone, skull and orbital. she had surgery on her pelvis a week agoe, and cannot yet even stand. with no home to rehabilitate in and no insurance, it just seems like everything is crashing in around us. It is slow where i am working which with her not working and medical bills from my recent neck surgery piling up, and having to get another vehicle because ours finally kicked the bucket, its just to much. I have been staying at the hospital with her and going to work from there but wow with gas the way it is i have no clue how we are suposed to get out of this pool of debt we are falling into... our two girls who are both 10(one mine and one hers) Madisen and Bailey, are staying with relatives while we go through this life trial... any help, any at all would be a god send, help rehabilitating her, an old double wide trailor not being used we could move onto the property so we could be a family unit again, any money to help pay bills and buy meds, gas, food, clothes for our growing girls! any help, ANYTHING at ALL would be greatly apriciated... i have a paypal account if this website even works... im shaking while im typing this, i hope to god this isnt a sham. thank you from the bottom of my heart. my email for paypal is doglooplab69@live.com please help us and thank you dearly, Darren... to get ahold of us our email is doglooplab69@live.com

Wow, I can't even believe I have come to begging for help, but I am at the end of my rope. My husband has medical bills totaling near $5000, due to kidney failure and being robbed and beaten. Not to mention, I am two months from having another baby. So, this will add to the medical bills even more...I do have medical insurance through my employer (NOT medicaid) , but as we all know, this does not cover everything.

First, let me say that I have a good job, I work at a law firm and have been there for 10 years. I only have one child (and one on the way) so I am not sitting at home, doing nothing. My husband works where he can, when he can, but it's not been enough to get us out of the water enough to even breathe!

We are able to pay the monthly mortgage, lights, water and insurances on my child and vehicles, but other than that, we cant seem to pay anything. I currently have $16.00 in my bank account and cant even buy groceries...I am desperate for help...$10, $15, anything would help. I can make a meal for my entire family for $10 a night. Bankruptcy is mt next option and I am desperately trying not to go there.

I am disabled, and like most folks, unable to make ends meet. But I'm hopeful I can sell my art and get past the hard times. I make beautiful paper collage art on glass and have received much positive feedback from friends and family. The usual response when I show finished pieces to someone is, "Wow, those are beautiful...you should sell them!" So, that's what I want to do, but right now I need money to cover my living expenses for the month. I am confident I can sell art to supplement my disability check, but I need to get past crisis mode so I can focus on the tasks necessary to be successful. My home is my studio; I have some supplies to get started and a modest computer set-up to sell online. Can you please help an honest artist get a hand up by donating $1,000? I would be so very grateful. I also promise to pay it forward. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I am a fighter. My story is a long one with many trials and tribulations; perhaps not much different or worse than others, I am not sure. My name is Elizabeth Newton and I live in Loveland, Colorado; the Sweetheart City and Gateway to the Rockies. I was raised by both parents in a middle class environment. I am the oldest of four, in which, three are brothers. I was a creative child who staged puppet shows and created clubs in our neighborhood. I am not sure if you remember the fuzzy sticky feet, but I made my own with left over pieces of carpet and sold them to my friends.
Moving on, I really struggled in school and got into a lot trouble. I was reckless, promiscuous, used drugs and alcohol and was dangerous. To keep it short, I dropped out in my junior year. When I reflect on those years, I remember some of what I did but mostly I forgot. I guess I felt as though I was being pulled by the strings of a puppet master whose name I now know is Bipolar.
When I turned 18 I shared an apartment with a friend. We both worked for the same nursing home and later for the Bureau of Reclamation. In was at the former job, I received my GED. I was still behaving recklessly resulting in a lot of missed work. But I was having fun being independent, partying all night but slowly losing control of my life.
I became pregnant by my boyfriend and we married several months later. My daughter is a grown woman. I then had another child four years later. Money was also a struggle. My husband wanted me to work but it did not make sense financially. I paid more for daycare then I was paid. When I found a position over the weekends, my husband refused to watch the children. That being said, I was still reckless – the mood would not go away – still a slave of the puppet master. Eventually the relationship became abusive and my husband left leaving $200 on the kitchen table. I did not have a car so I borrowed my father’s truck. I drove my father’s truck with my two small children in back to a safe house. However, it was not so safe. My husband who insulated homes, worked on the safe house. He found the truck and wrote things, I cannot mention here, on the outside of the truck. He coerced my grandmother to call me; and she did! Having to deal with these distractions kept me from focusing on me.
Good news! I was able to move into low income housing. It was a struggle to get my possessions; I took what I could. My father out of the blue wanted his truck back. My mother headed him off at the pass. I think I remember that my life settled down a bit. I enrolled in college. I loved college. In spite of this, I quit school to work from my mother at her computer store. Did I mention my parents were divorced? I am not sure it matters at this point. About six months later, the puppet master caught me and off I was again.
I had a boyfriend – I was 32 years old – and pregnant again…..This relationship was worse that the first. It included drinking, drugs, sexual and physical abuse – oh my, sigh. In the course of it all, I secured a position for one of the largest companies in Loveland. I was thrilled. I had actually come a long way. I divorced my second husband and found my own apartment.
Wow – raising three children on my own was not easy. We got by – I was able to provide what we needed. I forgot to mention I shared custody of my third child and had to pay child support. I never complained; I met my responsibility. I was performing very well at work and procured a position of a trainer. WeeHee – my new position allowed me to travel the globe. Can you imagine, me, the girl from Loveland, Colorado? During this time, I encountered a lot of problems with my ex-husband. Once, he called me at work and said he had a brain tumor. It was a joke; I did not find it funny.
I was promoted again returned to school and bought a house!!! I cannot think of the words to describe these accomplishments. I transformed from the woman driving my father’s truck to a home owner; kind of like the Home Sweet Home book. I was still partying, drinking, but not like before. The puppet master must have been on holiday. I met the man of my dreams and we married in 1998 (I think). We are still together.
The puppet master had those strings a rolling. I could and did accomplish anything. I could see what others could not. I finished school with ease and received my BA in Organization Development in 2005. What year did my story start? We bought a new home in a nice neighborhood. It is a modest home but fits us very well. I was still partying but it was not disrupting my work and home responsibilities.
CRASH! He let go – how could he let go? A woman pulled in front of us and totaled our car. I realize this does not sound traumatic, does it? I really do not know anymore. What I do know is this rocked my world. More than any other event did – and there were many. I could not recover. My performance fell down the well. I could not sleep. I drank a lot. I would even get up at night to drink because I could not sleep. The unthinkable happened. My strings let me down. I swallowed a bottle of pills. I was so afraid. I spent three days in the psychiatric hospital and two months in intensive outpatient therapy. During this time I was on short term disability. I am a fighter; I have never let my circumstances stop me. I returned to work for about two months. Nevertheless, the strings dropped again, were they ever pulled, I am not sure; I spent eight days in hospital. I was out of work again. This time when I returned to work there was no position waiting for me. I was laid off the summer of 2009. I lost it all in one short year.
Remember I am a fighter. I returned to school in July 2009 to obtain a masters degree and I graduated in early 2011. The problem? I obtained a degree and I could not use without further education. I still do not say this out loud. During this time, I landed a part time job as an instructor for students seeking their AAS Human Resources degree. I make a third of the salary I previously did. I have performed this job since April 2010. It is hard. I forget – my memory is not that good. What you have reading are the highlights of my life.
Adult children and BABIES!! Not one baby; two and a one year old. My daughter was in a bad situation in Arizona. She was pregnant with twins, had a one year old daughter, had no car and was being evicted. The dad? Let’s say there is a lot to be desired. She packed as much as she could and moved in with us. Would anyone turn a loved one away in this situation? I could not. I was still drinking. As I write this, I now realize drinking was the one constant in my life. Sad. Her pregnancy had it challenges, but I think this is common. The first snowstorm of the year, December 30th, if you can believe that for Colorado, the babies had enough; my daughter was in labor. We called 911 since the roads were bad. Several hours later we welcomed two healthy baby girls! They will be one year old soon.
New Chapter. How many do we get? My daughter and 18 year old son live with us in our modest home. We clash, how we could not. I have been telling my doctor that I am depressed, damn strings. I can’t sleep and my body hurts so badly; especially when I lay down. Oh, I forgot to mention, no drinking! I quit over a year ago. Regrettably the depression and pain are driving my every moment. I think the puppet master is on vacation. There is no hope. I have been out of work too long. We are waiting for the repo man to get our car. We are barely holding on to the house. How can everything crash so fast and so hard? I am a fighter remember. My mind is full of hopelessness. I have a note that says “Please just let me go”. I am a fighter remember. I call the crisis line. They tell me to call 911. I don’t. I go to bed. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. Not a chance. The same message is repeating over and over in my head; “please let me go”. I tell my family I am driving to the hospital. I do not want anyone to come with me. I go alone.
Hospital

My name is Meya Acuna and I am writing you in hopes that you can (or lead me to someone who can help) help bring a Christmas miracle to pass! I am really putting my faith out here because this is something that I've never done before, but am in desperate need. I am a 30 yr old stay-at-home mother to a 4 yr old and 22 month old and am 5 months pregnant. Having turned 30 I have had a revelation that I am in need of continuing my education to not only help my family financially but to be an inspiration to my children who will one day wonder why I did not live my dreams and get a degree in education.

Over 10 yrs ago I began on the right track attending TCU for a semester but with no funds saved up for college it was soon apparent that I would not be able to finish. Much to my despair, I left Ft. Worth and began living out of my hurt by getting into drugs, lascivious living and just keeping bad company. It wasn't until I met my husband, a PK (or preacher's kid), that I realized what I was missing and that I did have hope and didn't have to carry around the shame and anger at not being able to finish school. I stayed home and worked while he got to go out and travel the world in a Christian band, living his dream while I helped to support us and when he got off the road we decided to begin a family. Well no one told us how hard that would be especially financially and I soon left work to take care of my children because the cost of daycare was too much for us (almost 1200 for the two of them!). My husband lost his job earlier this year due to a bad truck accident that left him needing two surgeries and us on public assistance. But we moved to Seguin and he was able to start work at TPS thank God. It doesnt pay all our bills but we are so thankful! We also moved back here to begin work on a ministry with a focus on our youth. We are big volunteers at our church, always making ourselves available to what needs to be done for not only our families but our community. Most recently we've assisted with our youth at the Daddy/Daughter Dance sponsered by the SPD and the Blue Santa wrapping days. It has been hard on just one income and in the past 2 years we have moved 5 times with our children finally settling in Seguin. I am from Austin and had never lived in a real community of people before. I love it here! Everyone speaks to everyone and it is not so rushed. I'm in awe of how a community is supposed to be! Parades, Holiday Strolls, wow!

This past two weeks we have done things we have never had to do before like seek help from Community Council and Salvation Army for utility assistance and visit the EATS food pantry. I'm thankful they were there but I just never thought in a million years I'd be needing those types of services. This is also what pushed me to go back to school. I need to do something bigger than me to feel that I've accomplished a legacy for my children. I won't let them suffer worry and fear the way we have recently. But I need help.

I'm pleading with you to please help me pay $982.07 to Texas Christian University before January 1st for a Loan that I owe. If I pay this loan off by then I will be free to attend a university with Federal funds to attend classes and began pursuing my Associates Degree in Early Childhood and ultimately a Bachelors in Education. I plan on getting a teaching certification and giving back to the community that helped me by working in a low-income school here and sharing my story through hard work that people helping people can make a difference in someone's life. Again, I'm not asking you for money for me or my family or Christmas presents or any "thing". I am looking to pay directly to TCU in Ft. Worth. None of the funds would go to me. I trust that what we need as a family my God will supply, because He has kept us this long and it's only going to get better. Please be a part of this transition out of a dry place into abundance. I'm humbling myself today by doing this and I trust that if you can or know someone who can, you will help me. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to sharing a good report!

Wow... Never thought it would come to this. I am 53 and have never begged in my life. I have a wonderful, beautiful wife, who is dying of cancer. I love her with all my heart and have been working my fingers to the bone to pay for her treatments. I was recently laid off from my union job and my car has broken down, and am having to have a kind neighbor drive my children to school as busses don't run out to where we live. My family doesn't know but our home will be going into foreclosure soon, and my wife and I have sold our wedding rings and her engagement ring to pay for food. We are at the end, please if there is a kind soul left in the world my heart and the well being of my children have been taken from my hands....Please, help....please

Our daughter's bithday is coming up soon, and Im short on cash to purchase a nice gift for her. she worked so hard in school, made a little extra money from babysitting. Now she just was accepted to a university college! WoW! We are soo proud parent... she deserves a nice gift... so anyone could help out it would be nice. Thanks for taking the time.

I am desperately asking for any help I can get, I'm over $1000 behind on my house, my daughter hasn't had any school clothes in 2 yrs, her friends help her out, I have a job but my hours have been cut badly, my family can't help either, we don't talk much because they are twisted became they hate my wife, we have been divorced for 3yrs now and they are still mad because I didn't divorce her sooner, my ex and I are better friends now then when we was married, I cannot seem to get caught up with my bills, and now the state has forced my son on asst. so his half brother and sister can get help, I have him on my insurance from work but the want to add medical help on him which hr don't use and they charge me $50 a week and pretend they are being fair, I cannot afford that much and they know it, the judge says she is doing it to me just because she can, wow. I live in rural Indiana in Buck Creek box 137 , 47924. If anyone can send any help I will be very grateful and will include you in my prayers thank you very much. I cannot get a papal account because I cannot get a checking account, thanks to my mother and ex wives, I use a savings account only. That's only part of my problems, I still smile everyday and hide my pain from others in my area, no need in bringing someone else down. Again thank you.

Oh wow, where do I start; it's so painful. I need financial help like yesterday. I'm an Army veteran with 11 years active duty, 17 yrs total active service. I trained National Guard soldiers for Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan from 2004-2011 during Operation Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom. I've recently fallen on hard times and I'm about to lose my home. Was in the Reserves and haven't found permanent work yet since honorable discharge from active duty back into Reserves. I have filed for bankruptcy but it hasn't been discharged yet. I'm 20% disabled from injuries while serving on active duty and I'm diabetic. My disability check isn't a lot but the Veteran's Administration is taking money out of my disability pay for medication and copay visits.

I'm still hopeful though that someone can help me save my home, I need about $13,000.00 and it is nearing foreclosure. I don't wanna lose my home just because jobs are low paying in this area. I'm unemployed and don't have permanent full time employment. This situation hurts my heart. It's hard to ask for help when I'm so used to being the strong and independent one. Please help me if you can. Even a $1.00, $5.00 will help. My car was repossessed a year ago but I got it back due to filing bankruptcy. As of 15 Oct, I have -$38.47 in my bank. When my debt is paid down, I will pay it forward and help someone in need! Thank you for your caring hearts! I'm believing in a miracle!!

P.S. I'm not somebody fake from somewhere overseas like India or Africa hustling or scamming Americans for money.

Cyber Panhandling? I had never heard of such a thing until I saw a post about Karyn Bosnak last month. She starts a website and asks for $20,000 to help her pay off her credit cards. And she does it!! When I read about it I thought you've got to be kidding me, who would actually believe this girl's story? But then I saw it with my own eyes. All I can say is WOW, who would have thought? I don't have the money to start my own website nor do I have the $9.95 to have my post rotated here and frankly begging for money is making my stomach hurt. But here I am. Am I the only one who is sitting here staring at the screen not knowing how to do this, where to start or thinking do I really have the courage? The thing is, I really don't know what else to do. So here goes.

Wow, this is hard. How do I start? "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up"? Well that's true in a way I guess. I think my problem is I'm afraid to tell you my story because I don't want you to think I'm telling you it because I want you to feel sorry for me because I really don't but how will you know why I am where I am because of it. Ok I just deleted my story and will just say that I had open heart surgery a couple of years ago at the age of 39 for a tumor so you can imagine the medical bills racked up from that. I suffer from depression and PTSD (post tramatic stress disorder)and major anxiety so I've been in the hospital for that...more hospital bills. My husband was laid off from work for 9 months and finally landed a job in a different state and while we were driving up for a week of his training we flipped over twice on black ice. By the grace of God my husband, myself and our 13 year old daughter walked away. But we didn't have insurance because we couldn't afford it. We are so far behind on our bills, our cell phones are turned off, the electricity is next, my daughter needs a bed, she needs her braces put back on (we had to have them taken off when we lost our insurance). We have sold anything of value on craigslist. Our refrigerator is empty, I can't get a job because I don't have a car. If it was just me I'd live in a box, I truly don't want anything for me. But I don't want my daughter to suffer. Trying to hide our financial problems has been so hard but luckily she doesn't know the extent. She's such a good kid. Gets good grades, has the biggest heart and doesn't ask for much. It is killing me because I don't want her to suffer like we are.

Ok, I have to stop now. Please help me if you can. I meant what I said, if you want to know my story, I will tell you. Please know that I am being completely honest. Asking for help is hard but I just don't know what else to do.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

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.
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.

Wow… that’s hard to see… : ( Feel like I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown!! Please be my angel

I recently saw this posted on some shitty website i dont care to disclose. not because i dont like the website, i just really dont give a fuck.

"Force people to feel your pain, put it on them. Show them how this world can create someone like you. Remind them that the state of the world we are in will continue to bring about people like us, the unloved, un-noticed, under-appreciated."

And it made me think, wow thats a fucking GREAT idea!!, what a wonderful way to make yourself feel better, why did i never think of that before? Well it seems like everybody else is doing it so why not? the worlds already fucked up so lets just add to all the bullshit and drama of life and see just how bad we can make it for others, after all wont we then realize just how good we've got it? even when you think you have nothing at all, if you think about children that are kidnapped, taken to a place their not familiar with, repeatedly raped by ass holes who would rather pay somebody to fuck a kid than find a real woman, beaten, held down and forced to develop an awful drug addiction that will keep them in a lifestyle of tragedy for the rest of their lives. Do we really have it bad? I want to kick myself in the ass sometimes for pitying myself and wishing i had it better. but then again is it really so bad to want the finer things in life? i mean it seems hope is what drives most people in life, without it where would we be? if we didnt have any hope at all why get out of bed in the morning? we do it for various reasons but mainly because we hope to achieve some kind of goal whether it be to see whats going on in the world around us, complain about it, to suppress that feeling of hunger, to use the bathroom instead of shitting or pissing on yourself, go to work or whatever. im tired of hearing about people being depressed because there is no hope in their life. the only people that really have no hope at all are already dead. Show yourself no mercy, make life what you want it to be, after all life really is whatever you make it. You can have nothing at all and not have eaten in days and still be a happy fucking go lucky numb skull without a care in the world if you pity not yourself but everyone else. I served a few months in jail this past year and found that i was really fucking HAPPY! I know what your thinking, what kind of brain dead fucking idiot could be happy to be in jail? i was not happy to be in jail but happy that i had a roof over my head, a mat to sleep on, a blanket to stay warm, 2 meals a day i mean what else could you ask for? all of your basic needs are met. Do you really deserve to have anything more than anybody else? when there are people out there that die all the time because they CANT get those basic needs fulfilled why in the hell are we driving brand new cars or even cars at all, living in homes made of enough aluminum, brick, wood and other materials to feed someone enough to keep them alive for a good part of their life. Doesnt it seem to you that if people really gave a shit about themselves or anybody else they would be more than grateful to be able to give up material possessions to give someone else a chance to live a life at all? The truth is we are all stuck up pricks that dont give a shit about anything but satisfying our own lust of pleasure. I will say there are a "few" good people out there but if your sitting there reading this on a computer and you think youve got it bad, your a stuck up peice of shit too. After all you can afford to spend money on electricity but you cant afford to feed someone, even if you do donate to charities are you really doing enough? No because your still on the computer wasting money that you could be using to feed a kid somewhere out there that otherwise will starve to death. Thats just the way it is and we've been doing it our whole lives. If you dont like the thought of being a selfish peice of shit, youve got 2 choices. Either get over it and accept the fact that your just as bad as the shit heads that flew their planes into the twin towers and killed all those people, or give up everything you have and help somebody out, stop wanting, start giving. Which will you do? If you want to change your ways you can start by donating a few dollars to help keep food in my stomach and a warm place to sleep. We'll see just how many "good" people are out there, i doubt many of you are. - Gabriel Turner You can email me at damaster406@gmail.com or send money to that email address using paypal at http://www.paypal.com
