I need help desperately
Posted by kelly91 on 2012-03-21 00:58:49
Hi. My name is Kelly, and I'm a 20 year old college student. Currently, I am studying foreign language, and I'd like to be an English teacher in another country someday. At the moment, I'm very short on funds, and I'm terrified I'm going to have to drop out of college if I can't come up with enough money to make it til August, which is when I'll get my next school check. I need money for rent, utilities, and food. I'm about $1,700 short. My number one priority is surviving right now, and I'd really appreciate it if I could get some help with the basic $1,700 I need. Even if it's $5, anything helps. Thank you for your time, and I hope yo have a great day.
Please keep me from being on the cold streets

Hello my name is Richard. A little about me. I am 37 yo/male living in WI USA and in need of help to pay for my rent. I moved to WI from TX in hopes of starting a better life for myself. I thought the person I that had offered me a place to stay until spring was going to be true to their word. Unfortunately that was not the case. The job I had at the time was one just a temp job to help enable me to contribute while I was staying with them and allow me to look for one within my profession. I was abruptly told that I had 3 weeks to leave their house before I would be removed. This was someone that I had known for well over 11 years and never thought something like that would happen. These were the only people I knew in the sate. At the time I had been working the temp job for a little over 2 months and at the rate I was making with the company there was little to know way I would be able to pay for deposits much less rent of a small apartment in the area. But with that I set out to make it happen somehow. So I continued the temp job and took other additional small jobs, fix it type things for extra cash. I was able to make the deadline and move into my own place which was actually best for me anyways.
I continued to work at the temp job but in doing so ended up getting continual and worsening respiratory infections due to the very poor air quality. I never intended to stay there for this long but with little time to devote to my job search within my profession I had no other choice. Months went by and the condition simply got worse. I was told by my doctor that I needed to find some other line of work and get out of the horrible work environment that I was working in as I was getting very close to pneumonia. Two weeks later it happened. I was out of work for the following 2 weeks. During that time I was forced to make the decision to leave the job and quit. This was very tough for me as I am not a quitting type what so ever. I had been raised to stick it out. But due to a medical condition that I have I simply cannot do that, for risk of compounding the issue.
So now here I am. I am a month late with my rent and facing eviction. I have no family or friends to lean on for help. I am currently enrolling to further my education to be a professional driver which will assure my future but for now I still need my apartment. My rent is $660 per month. I need to be able to cover February and March rent or I will end up being evicted which at that point will have no place to go but find a place (during winter) out on the street. So I plead with you to please find a place in your heart and help me with my problem. Doing this is so tough for me. I have never had assistance like this in my life. I have always been the one to do it on my own. This time however I simply cannot do it without help from you.
Please.
God Bless.

Hello everyone,
I am not sure how I feel about begging people for money, but I am out of options. I am single mother of three (25, 18,16) and grandmother of 2 and I have recently taken in a neighborhood girl 17 yo whos father tossed her out on the street. She is a great kid, and certainly not worth tossing aside. She is in her senior year of school and looking towards college. I want to be able to continue to help her as well as my other children, but this year has been challenging and a never ending battle. I am presently the only one working thanks to our wonderful economy, and I have to drive 1 1/2 hours to work everyday just to stay employed. My 25 year old lost her job when her youngest child passed away of SIDS last december and she just couldnt function. She is getting counseling and doing much better, and has started looking for work, but not having much luck. My 18 year old is in college, which she works to pay for herself. My son is only 16 and really shouldnt have to worry about financial matters. I work, and I work hard to support my family the best I can, I have tried to locate even a second job, but with the commute to job 1 that is almost impossible. My boyfriend has tried to help me, but he got laid off and is presently losing his own house to foreclosure. I am a hardworking woman who just needs a little help. I am behind in car payments, utilities, and we are in desperate need of oil. I have tried to apply for assistance, but the government says I am not eligible because in their minds I only have one dependent, therefore I make to much money. Any little bit helps, so please and thank you if you can.

I canât 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 othersâ lives. I also, for whatever reason, feel very uncomfortable asking for help. I donât think I have ever asked anyone for financial help in my life, let alone a âdonationâ. I was always taught that if you want somethingâ¦. 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 canât? 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 â Life is too short
⢠Do not be selfish, but selfless â be there or give to others as much as you can
Resilient for many years âstruggling 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 didnât 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, couldnât 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 â all at 14 yo! Over the years, my back problems were just âpart of my lifeâ. 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 donât charge because they canât 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 canât 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 donât have âthingsâ because I donât NEED material things. It kills me to ask for help, especially monetary. Itâs hard for me to accept help but I have no problem giving, lending or helping other people. My friends say that I give âtoo muchâ, 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 Iâve been taken advantage of many times because of this â 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 couldnât 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 doâ¦. Please, please help!! I donât 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 was always taught that if you want somethingâ¦. 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 canât? 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 â Life is too short
⢠Do not be selfish, but selfless â be there or give to others as much as you can
Resilient for many years âstruggling 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 didnât 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, couldnât 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 â all at 14 yo! Over the years, my back problems were just âpart of my lifeâ. 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 donât charge because they canât 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 canât 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 donât have âthingsâ because I donât NEED material things. It kills me to ask for help, especially monetary. Itâs hard for me to accept help but I have no problem giving, lending or helping other people. My friends say that I give âtoo muchâ, 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 Iâve been taken advantage of many times because of this â 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 couldnât 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 doâ¦. Please, please help!! I donât 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!

help for my family
Posted by pattysellers on 2011-08-23 21:58:44
I am posting this ad for my family who means the world to me. I want so badly to good for them. We are being evicted from our home. and my husband is very ill. I am not saying much to him about these issues, because he has stress induced seizures. We dont have much time before the eviction goes through. We have been blessed with food to eat every day, and by the grace of God our utilities are on for the time being. My husband and i both lost our jobs in aerospace a little over a year ago, and have not been able to work full time since. My two grown sons live with us and do what they can to bring money in but its not enough to take care of all the bills. We have tried everything we can think of. But with little to no resources we are down to end of the rope. We dont have any transportation which makes it even harder. I have set up an online accredited health sciences class, and grant and student loan has paid for it. But with no security i've had to postpone it temporarily. We just need a temporary hand, I see a bright future for us. Anything would help right now, I am very willing to work, im 46 yo, intelligent and very determined. Any HONEST inquiry will be answered by me, honestly and greatfully.
Thank you and God bless you for reading

as i read through these stories, i am wishing i were on the other side of this situation. it is sad to see so much poverty and injustice in America.I thankGod have no small children, but i do have a very sick husband who is unable to work at this time, and my two grown sons live with us and can only find part time work. I was all set up to go to nursing school, until i found out that we are being evicted, because we are unable to afford the rent of our apt. I am a 46 yo woman, and im in good shape, hardworking and intelligent. I have tried everything i can and im at the end of my rope. I am trying not to stress my husband in any way, because he has stress induced seizures so im running myself ragged trying to take care of all this, without any transportation. I have our future all set, and im not without hope. all we need is a temporary hand up. I am very honest, and would appreciate honest replys to my plea. I can be reached by email, and then if need be by phone. I dont know how long we will be in this apt. God has provided us plenty, we do eat everyday, and have managed by the grace of God to keep utilities, but i want to get our life going, and my days are spent trying to get some help. any thing will help.
thank you in advance and God bless for reading

I am a 46 yo woman. I recently fell in love and married a very sick man. He is a clinical alcoholic and needs medical care to get better. We are being evicted from our home because we can no longer pay our bills. He is unable to hold a job,because of his drinking problem, and wants very much to sober up, but has seizures when he does. I applied to online health sciences class's, and was accepted, and financial aid paid for it. But because we are being evicted and are unemployed i have to postpone my class' until we can get stable. We have both made alot of mistakes in the past, which is why we are in the position we are in now. I have admitted and accepted this. I am ashamed of the situation i am in, and i want to change my life and be happy and healthy. I am very determined, and a hard worker. I dont want to be pitied nor do i want to sit on my behind while some one else takes care of me. I want to start my nursing career, and build a new life for my family.
I need full time work while i attend school
transportation
and a stable affordable home
and medical help for my husband
I am very willing to provide what proof i have of need. and to also talk face to face or over the phone. I am not dishonest or a phony looking for a free ride. I am desperate and very scared right now, and i need real help from anyone who is serious and i will be very greatful for any serious contact.
thankyou in advance and God bless

54 yo female in accident while driving mom's car Oct 2008. Mom's seatbelt came loose and she ended up in floorboard. I was her only caregiver. She passed away Nov 2008. In Jan 2009 I woke up with right sided numbness. After mush testing a tumor was found that was pressing on spinal cord. It was surgically removed. Due to continued numbness and driving around 400-500 miles a week I had to do back out on disability. In 2010 I lost my job and benefits. In July 2010 I had a stroke but rehab helped me progress. Then I was brought home and left by myself with a weekly visit for dropping off groceries. My sister make my neurologist think I was unsafe and she got my disability check. She pays mortgage and utilities and gives me nothing. I paid my bills on computer while in rehab. Now with no money I would love to be able to get out for lunch and eat on occassion. I also need money for food and a pair of athletic shoes that fit properly since I am a diabetic. Please help me with any way possible for you. Thank you

I am about to lose my job
Posted by mona08 on 2011-01-21 23:58:58
I have nevery had to resort to bewging, bu I now have to swallow my pride. When I see the people on the street with signs "please donate-I need to eat", I an one step away from joining them.
I am 58 years old, havew had a good jog. But now, as is every corporation's sweet dream, my job is being outsourced and I wil be without work.
Unfortunately, I have had to help family members in the same situation. And now, I have no one to turn to.
I have had to use credit cards to pay the utility bille, water, sdewage. I don't use the telephone any more because it is an added expense.
I have multiple sclerosis and have had to lie to employers to keep my job, I have not had any relapse, abd have been able to work. I am a hard worker, and have worked on contract for the same compamy fopr 5 years. That means I have ahd no benefits, vacations, or sick time.
I have avoiut $8,000.00 in credit debt between car repairs, medical bills, and paying for every day expenses (food, gas, utilities).
The medical bills are from the mediction that I take with MS, self-injectible medication which I can't afford.
I am asking for help to pay off this debt to prepare for unemployment. I have done everything from project management to tech support, so I am already looking for work to prepare the minute they say our jobs are ended.
Until I am gainfully employed again, it will be difficult to meet my obligations. Please find it in your heart to help the less fortunate.
Unfortunateky, I have had yo help out
