Credit Cards

Hi, I am not proud of myself for asking for monetary assistance but I feel this is the last resort. This is a sincere plee for help from the public to donate whatever they can to my cause. My husband doesn't even know that I am doing this and would be very hurt if he knew.

My Story: We are a family of four (2 small boys; 1 year and 4 years) plus our 2 Boxer girls. We had been living in Chicago since 2004 when my husband was introduced to an opportunity to buy his own retail business in Orlando. He immediately tried to get a bank loan for the business but was declined because neither one of us was working at the time and had too much personal dept. So we both decided that he should take out Credit Card advances under both of our names to make his Dream Happen. He dropped everything including his family and at the time his son of 1 month with my blessing to go and pursue it. I stayed back to work and take care of the 2 boys and to sell the home 2005. In the meantime, the whole year of 2005 incurring more debt because I was the only one that was bringing in money for the family and eventually had to take on a 2nd and  a 3rd job just to make ends meet. My husband came home at least once a month to visit. During the whole year of 2005 there was no buyer for the home which was the most discouraging. After trying to sell for almost a year we finally decided in November to rent the home out and rent a home in Orlando.

Up-to-date:

We moved to Orlando in November 2006 to resume our life as a family again. I am still working 3 jobs and still the sole provider for the family because my husband has been negative every month for the business. Life has been a struggle for the past 2+years with the worries of not being able make the bills every month, and discussing if we can afford to take our children to see the doctors when they are sick because we don't have health insurance.

With the way things are going we will not be able to pay back our balances ever! That's why I am turning to the public to help donate/contribute to a good cause. Anything contributed will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Hoping to stay afloat.

Well, Sitnpretty66 is not sitting pretty anymore.

 

I am a recent single parent of four children ages 3, 10, 13, 15. My husband an I separated about a 6 months ago. I work part time and I sell on Ebay from home. My husband does pay child support and helps when he can. This money just barely covers our monthly expenses. My problem is the debt I have from credit cards. I am not behind, I pay the minimum each month, but doing so is going to continue for a lifetime if I can't pay more. I am in the process of getting a full time job that works with our schedule, considering my 3 year old does not need to be in a daycare 10 hours a day and my kids have sports and such with school. My brother is looking for a job for me near him and his family and offered to let us stay with them until I can save some money. I also have looked into taking a CNA or Phlebotomist course at our local college. Working in a hospital would be great for extra hours and benefits. Bankruptcy is NOT an option, I would rather pay forever. I do get an income tax refund and I will be using most of that towards the debt. After paying with that amount I will still owe close to 15,000.00. If anyone would like to help us get a fresh start I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

 

If you would like to make a donation you can use paypal sitnpretty66@yahoo.com. Or email me for my address.

Mortgage Payments

I need a grant to help pay  my mortgage, credit cards and tutition for school.  Can you help me find a government grant that will assist my needs?

I have no other option but bankruptcy!

It is horrible and I feel like everything I do is never good enough! If I did not have a child and another on the way I would have nothing! They are the reason I need help.. I made mistakes and tried to pay to get out but the debt is too large I have lost everything and I still have more fees and more bill collectors. I am very happy that I have my son and girl on the way so I have two reasons to never give up on living and loving. I do not have money for bankruptcy either.. so I just wanted to see what I should do.

Money Needed To Pay School Debt!!

I am a soon to be college graduate, and in the last 4 1/2 years I have occured $8,500 in bills! This may not sound like alot, but I haven't worked much throughout college making it extremely difficult to pay for simple things such as gas, meals, books, etc.  The only choice that I had was to put all of my expenses on credit cards.  I still would like to attend graduate school, but I feel that the longer I stay in school, the more in debt I'm going to be! Please help me pay off this bills!!

Thank you for all the interest in my aid page. I have been receiving lots of advice. Each week I will put money toward all my credit debts. I will do this on my aid page and update every Sunday. Hopefully they will go down faster with your help. regardless, every extra dime I find is going toward this. I collect cans from family and friends to recycle. I ebay for friends for a percentage of selling price. I even pick up loose change on the ground. I then apply all this extra cash to my bills. I can't wait to see this weeks tally!!!

Will Lose Job If Credit Card Is Cancelled

I travel for work and my job requires me to have a credit card.  This card is paid off every month.  I have several other debts that I would like to get debt management with somehow, but I am unsure as to how to do that without having to cancel all of my credit cards.  I cannot keep my job without the credit card. 

Is there anyone out there that knows of a way to handle this??  I'm not behind on anything yet, but I will be within the next couple months.  I'm really, really scared right now.
