Each morning, we all awake to innumerable challenges to overcome and tasks to accomplish. Sometimes it is a challenge to get out of bed from lack of sleep, or it is a challenge to get out of debt and live stress free; but within each of us, there is a driving force compelling us to rise above these challenges and complete the tasks at hand. 
     For those of you who were blessed to receive a college degree and not worry about paying tuition in addition to managing 23 credits simultaneously, continue reading.  This is my reality, the evolving story of female engineering student faced with the challenge of  how to pay for tuition and attain the long – desired dream of receiving a college degree.  Every morning I awake to this challenge of paying my tuition before my classes are cancelled, before my meal plan is denied, and before I’m forced to move off campus and take a Leave of Absence; but my driving force to finish my degree compels me to search for new ways of financing my education. Hence, this is my reason for creating this website, to seek assistance in my most desperate time of need.

      I am currently a senior in college majoring in electrical engineering.  This is my sixth week of school and unfortunately, I have a balance on my account of $8000 dollars, and I do not have a single textbook for any of my courses.  My financial aid did not cover the cost of my tuition this semester, and if my balance is not paid immediately I will be forced to take a Leave of Absence for this semester. In fact, the deadline to resolve this issue quickly approaches.
My family is unable to help me because of unexpected expenses such as medical bills and other debt.  I am currently searching for part – time work to make extra money, but by the time I earn enough to pay my tuition I will probably have to leave school.  I have been denied twice for outside loans because I have not established credit and lenders will not approve me. I cannot ask someone in my family to co-sign because of their own debt situation. 
I truly look forward to finishing my degree.  I will be the first person in my family to actually complete college and I am doing everything possible with the help of the Higher Power to accomplish this goal. If anyone reading this message is able to help me get out of this situation by their generous donations and / or loan in which I offer to pay interest, I thank you in advance. 
            I know that either you or someone you know was once in this predicament.  Your generosity during this stressful time is greatly appreciated. No good deed passes without reward in this world. Your assistance in aiding me to complete my education and advance into the prosperous and professional career of engineering will reap plenty of benefits.

This is my last ditch effort to get my finances in order. I have always been a very organized female with my finances. I was working in a successful career. Then the big D hit. DEPRESSION. I was diagnosed with depression back in Sept 2006(have documents for verificatin purposes if required). Lots of things were going on in my life that made it worse, my grandfather was diagnosed with stomach cancer, my grandmother, who just watched my aunt die of cancer in a 3 month period, was put on suicide watch because she was not ready to watch another loved one die. At the same time, I found out my mother had a gambling addiction that she attained to not have to deal with all that was going on, and it was effecting the entire family where she was borrowing and not paying back. This was all happening to my family back home in another province, which left me feeling very guilty and sad, for not being able to help more than I could, and it was down hill from there on out. I continued to work hard for months while I dealt with this new diagnoses. I struggled to get out of bed everyday, I just didnt want to live anymore, while my whole family was suffering back home. Then it got worse, I had to quit my job back on April 9th (have documents for verifiation purposes if required), due to the inability to function due to my depression. I was crying every day and barely able to get out of bed, depression hurts. My bills ran up to over $10k, as I had to pay rent, school fees, utilities and make sure my daughters was fed, all on credit. I am now on the road to recovery under a physicians care, but not working for the last 3 months has put me in a big financial hole that I cannot get out of, which is putting me back into the deep dark depression.

PLEASE HELP ME. Any financial help will help with my depressing debt. A loan/donation as small as $5.00 or more would be a great start.  I am willing to work out a repayment plan with anyone willing to help me out of this desperate situation.   PLEASE HELP. NEED HELP FAST. Repossesion of my belongs is due to happen any day now.

Thank you to all that help, may god bless you. Please feel free to contact me at candicebent@hotmail.com

I am a mother who has recently become disabled. I am attempting to get help through Social Security, but this can take up to 30 months. I have had 14 surgeries in the past. I am on 7 different medications daily and it takes all the money I can get to purchase it.

My daughter has ADHD, acid reflux, and suffers from depression. She is on 3 medications  and luckily she qualifies for help on her medicines since she is a child.

My ex-husband is over $45,000.00 in arrears on child support. They say he is on the "locate" list. This means that they cannot find him by putting his name in a computer. He is now listed on Georgia's Most Wanted Child Support Evaders list. I put up a link to that page as he is listed now. If you see him, turn him in. He has warrants issued for his arrest in Stephens County, Georgia.

We don't have ANY money for Christmas this year, and all the charities around my area only want to help people who have children under the age of 12. PLEASE help me make my daughter's Christmas special. If you want to help you can send a gift to the address below. She LOVES Tinkerbell and Georgia Bulldogs. She needs clothes (Sizes are shirt--Medium, Pants--size 10 ladies, shoes--size 8 ladies.). Thank you in advance for anything you can do to help! God bless you and your families.

If you wish to have more information you can email me at semmaf@yahoo.com. If you cannot or prefer not to use PayPal my address is 795 Seven Forks Road, Martin, GA 30557. Thanks for caring enough to read my story.

My name is Geri and I live in New Jersey with my son who is 6 1/2. I am diabetic and have been diagnosed with severe gum disease to the point where what little teeth I have left are started to rot as well. I need to have my teeth pulled (all of them) and have dentures or permanents made so I can eat, smile and live again. I do work full time but the income I make barely supports myself and my son in our everday normal expenses.Plus my diabetes supplies eat most of it as well as my son's daycare. People stare at me when I first meet them due to the poorness of my teeth. I dont go anywhere anymore, dont take my son to outings or the park because I'm so embarrassed. I need $2,500 to get my dental work done and I have been denied any type of dental credit. I am at my wits end and would gladly pay back anyone who helped me to get my teeth fixed and give me my life back again.

    I am a single mother of 2 beautiful children and I go to school full time therefore I am not able to work.  I provide 100% of all the care for both children with no help!  I am having a really hard time right now as my financial aid grant has been stretched to the pennies but the school recieved 99% of it anyway.  I would really like some advice or help!  Gas was shut off, rent, electric, and water are all due and I of course hardly have the money for diapers!  Someone PLEASE help I am desperate! Thx-desperate in tx----email----lill_momma1@yahoo.com

I need your help.  I am 23 years old and just graduated from college and planning to get married in the summer.  I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Management and Information Systems and was on the Dean’s List and on the National Dean’s in college.  However, I have been plagued with many unfortunate circumstances.  I can’t seem to find a job right now and can’t pay the bills.  I don’t have enough in my checking account to even pay for next months bills, and I have cut back on everything I can think of, even cutting back on food.  My credit cards are all maxed out and I have no one to turn to for help.  Here’s the thing, like I said before I just graduated from college and my loans are starting to have to be paid back which is in excess of $25,000, my car started leaking coolant into my engine, which is going to cost at the minimum $750-$1,000, I need new breaks and new tires.  I have medical bills in the thousands of dollars which I can’t pay off.  If I do not get my car fixed I have no reliable transportation to even really get to and from work.  I have sold everything of value to anyone, and have really nothing left.  If something doesn’t happen for me soon we will be out in the street.  Anything someone can do to help is greatly appreciated. I have never asked for anything from anyone before and anyone who knows me would verify that, but I have no where else to turn to for help. I’m not asking for much just a little something to help with the bills.  Or better yet anyone that can help me with a job would be even better.  Like I said before I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Management and Information Systems.  So anything in IT would be great and I am willing to start at the bottom.  Please help.  My email address is pleasehelpmesoon@gmail.com, and you can email me if you are willing to help.  Once again thank you and God Bless.

Still in need of help!  Dealing with Financial troubles badly!  our home is in forclosure and were about to lose everything!  Can't believe that I have been looking for help since Last year to keep from getting this way, and nothing but scammer after scammer gets in touch with me!  there doesn't seem to be anyone out there anymore that has a soul that would or even could help anyone that is having trouble anymore.  been working on getting things caught up but still falling behind with everrything going up all the time.  just about can live or raise a family!  want has this world gotten too.  it's a shame!  I pray all the time that things get better and so far nothing is working right for me.  I have faith and my heart keeps telling me that things are going to get better, but I hope I'm not trying to raise a family in the streets by the time that this would come true.  God Bless all of US!

I am seeking any type of scholarship or Grant that might assist me in going back to school and furthering my career to better my life.. I have struggled so much in the past 10 yrs that I have come to the conclusion that the only way is to get a higher education and further my career in Nursing.. I want to also give back to the Medical Field what was taken from me 10 yrs ago.. I lost a child to Truncus Arterious.  She was 14 days old God Bless her.. Please I am desperate in my need.. I have a defaulted student loan due to a bad divorce.. I am trying everything I can..

Pancreatitic Cancer has taken almost everything I ever had. I AM NOT A QUIETER and with equipment I have received I am about ready to begin working again.

It isn't easy forcing yourself when you are in pain 24/7 to be independent but I am beginning to do it but I still need help with 1 thing.

I need transportation desperately so I can work. I have an old work van I can sell for about $500 but it needs $1000 of work to pass inspection as now the steering went out on me. Even if it was working the MPG is only about 7 miles per gallon and because of the cost of gas it costs me over $10 just to go to my doctor 12 miles away once a week.

I will not ask for any dollar amount, just what anyone can spare so I can sell the van and get something that is dependable and cheap on gas. So please help me get transportation so I can be independent and work. There is no public transportation where I live and I have made it this far and with your help I WILL SUCCEED.

IS MY LIFE WORTH A DOLLAR????

 My story is probably a bore to most of you.  I married at 14 years old, had two children and have been married for 44 years to the same man.  He is a good man that has been good to me and the children.  My children married and have children so I am a grandmother and now a great-great grandmother.  I am so proud of my family.  My husband and I had 50.00 when we got married and we went to K-mart and bought two towels, two washcloths and toothpaste.  We lived on crackers and peanut butter for two weeks until payday!  We both came from large families who worked hard and paid our bills.  We didn’t have much but we were happy.  We both worked two jobs and went to school at night to get an education.

 Over the years many things have happened in my life. I had to leave my job because of illness, Lupus, many things started happening to me health wise.  Lupus affects everything.  I now have so many different illness and medicines to take it is depressing. I think losing my hair on top of it all is the worst because being a woman everyone stares.  It will not grow back.  It isn’t because of the chemo but because of the Lupus. But I have kept on.  Maybe one day I will get some help with that too.

We have never been rich or really even well off  but we were comfortable. Then my daughter went through a terrible divorce. He didn’t care if the kids had food or anything. We tried to help our daughter keep her house and keep the kids in clothes and etc.  This put a strain on us, but that is how we were raised to help each other.

 When my husband retired after 40 years on the job he didn’t have a 401k or anything like that but we thought we could make it.  He started working part time as soon as he retired because they would not insure me anymore. (This we didn’t know) I felt bad about that but we did what we had to.

 After going through so much financially a “friend” told us he could double or even triple what savings we had.  I was so excited and I trusted him.  Well the “friend” is gone and so is the money.  Like it never existed.  We finally found her but the money was gone. My illness has also drained us, but this was devastating.  I trusted this person and now we are so in debt we could lose our home.  I am responsible for this because I did it.  I can’t look my husband in the eye anymore.  I can’t pay my bills now and will lose my home if something doesn’t happen soon.  I kept praying something would come up and a heavenly angel would help us.  Didn’t happen.  But I still believe in Angels.  Maybe they are internet Angels!!!!

 I have been so depressed I get closer and closer to just ending it all. I have given myself so much time to either get some help or do what I have to do.  I want to live a long life with my family but I am so ashamed of what I have done. My husband doesn’t deserve this nor my family.  Then….. I accidently came across this site.  Could???  Would??? Someone help me???  Please………… if you could send something, anything I would appreciate it.  If I come out of this I will do whatever it takes to always help someone else in this situation.  I have always helped anyone never dreaming someone could be this desperate.  Life is not worth living right now. My nerves are terrible making the disease get worse

I came across this website by accident. Maybe it is a God sent. I don't know.  Maybe someone out there cares.  

 Is my life worth a dollar to anyone? I know there are thousands of people out there and I thank you for listening.  Please keep me in your thoughts. I am desperate. God Bless.  Paypal or mail.  Anything appreciated.

Hello, 

  I am a Single Mother of four children, ages 23,18,8,& 4 yrs old; I am pleading for a little help so we may relocate into at least a three bedroom house. We live on a very busy street in a duplex without a backyard. To have a house where the lil'tikes could have neighbors to play with would be a dream for them. Not to mention the fact that the children have considerably grown us out of our home here. I currently rent where I have lived in our present location for over 11 years; so to relocate now will not be too difficult but definitely necessary. I have checked with all the local agencies around here for financial assistance to help me in this relocation. But, had no luck do to the fact we are indeed blessed not to be homeless. I have checked into the cost, and it will cost us a substantial amount of about $3,200.00 to relocate my family at the bare minimum. We would be extremely grateful for any help we could get to gather the funds it will take for such a move. I have managed to set aside so far $250. Trying to pay for graduation and save while also seeing to the needs of the children is in it’s self a very difficult task. If some one would consider even helping us out with a loan, I would be willing to work that out if posible as well.
Any help we may receive would be truly grateful. Please Help us.
Your generosity would be extremely grateful.
Sincerely and truly
gratefully yours

Hiya all.

Well, how do I introduce myself?

First of, I'm nobody and everyone...meaning I do not have a familiare name or face, but I have lived for a few years now, and during I have battled most fancy twitches and turns life has to offer.
On the basis of that, I like to think of myself as one that might lend advices and support to others fighting the same battles I have fought (and won)!

Most important to remember for all, no matter what the struggle is about; there's almost always a solution out there.

Looking forward to getting to know new folks...  ;o)

Please read my aidpage and leave your comments or any advice that you may be able to offer.

I am a single mom on welfare in CA. I am currently enrolled at a massage school (California Holistic Institute). I need tuition and living expenses for myself and toddler. The amount for tuition is ~ $5,000 for the 200 hour program and the 550 hour massage therapist program (necessary to take the National Certification exam).

I know that women count as a minority, and we are considered "very low income" so maybe that will be helpful?

If anyone knows ANY grant that I could apply for, I would really, really appreciate dropping me a line with that info!

Kind regards,
Miss Carolyn

This has been a rough year with my two siblings getting married. I have somehow lost myself in debt of payday advances and finance fees. I desperately need a financial personal loan or grant in some form. Please if you can help me in any way it would be much appreciated.

I am a single 25 year-old girl working two jobs (one full-time and one part-time) currently however am still barely making ends meet.

Hi. My name is Katie Rouse. My teeth have been very bad since I can remember. When I was twelve, my mother brought me to the dentist for the first time. I had four cavities filled. I was covered under medicaid and I also received retainers around that time. I chipped a tooth and had it fixed a couple times and we talked about braces, but my dentist said my teeth were so soft they would be afraid of them breaking. They also noticed at this point that my teeth were rotting from the inside out and perscribed me extra floride tooth paste which would slow down the procces. My mother than took me off of the medicaid before I was 18 so that she could enroll her self in a program that would allow her to receive 5,000 dollars to help her buy a house when I turned 18. She had no other isurance coverage for me, only for herself. My father only paid 64 dollars a week in child support so I saw no help from him either. I didn't have insurance until I could get a full time job and afford it on my own. I resented my mother for a long time because of her decision. I felt it was unfair and cruel to let me suffer. I have forgiven her now and she has appoligized and wishes she could help. When I was 19 my teeth were so bad that I couldn't eat much and I was taking about 32 hundred mg of ibuprofen a day. This went on for about a month, but I started running high fevers and developed numorous infections in my gums. My regular dentist couldn't see me, so I called an oral surgeon in my area. He got me right in and schedualed an appt. immediatly. I had 6 teeth pulled by him, and 2 years later I developed an absess at the root of my tooth and had that one removed as well. My job situation changed and my boyfriend bought a house. I pay him rent to help him pay the mortgage, but I don't make enough money to get insurance. I have tried looking for other jobs, but we only have one vehicle so our hours have to be the same. He has a decent job and makes enough money to make ends meet. Right now my money buys us groceries, pays for gas and small bills. I also pay him 300 a month towards the 1000.00 dollar house payment. I've applied for loans, but my credit is very poor. I made stupid decisions when I was younger and my credit now suffers for them. My father and I have mended our relationship, and he has since offered to help, but he was diagnosed with oral cancer a year ago and had 80% of his tounge removed. He can no longer work because he suffers from severe seizures since his radiation. He lives on 1150.00 dollars a month in social security. The only way he could help is to take out a loan, but since he doesn't work he cannot get approved. I can't bring myself to take about four of his paychecks even though he would give anyone the shirt off his back. I'm getting off track now, and I appologize. I really just need to catch a break. I don't have one single photo of myself smiling with my mouth open. Not in school pictures or anything. My confidence is so low. I can't even eat some of the healthy foods that I love. I have tried dieting, but my teeth are so brken and soft that I can't bite into carrots, celery, granola bars. Also, a lot of my teeth are broken to the point where my nerves are exposed and even biting into an apple irritates them. I can barely even brush my own teeth. I feel disgusting, and I can't even beleive that I found a man who loves me the way I am. He wants to help, but we would have to be married for his insurance to cover me and that isn't an option right now. Even with insurance the out of pocket cost is rediculous. My biggest wish is to be able to laugh and smile with my friends and family without being so sad about myself. I want to go my high shool reunions with out the same teeth they remember me with. I want to feel well. I want to be healthy, and I don't want to live on Ibuprofen anymore. It mean the world to me to be able open my mouth and show the world a beautiful healthy smile. I pray to God everynight for a miracle, because that is exactly what I feel like it will take for me to afford the extractions and the dentures that I need. I'm only 24 years old, but I don't want to live another day with a sore, unhealthy, unaatractive mouth. My friends know me as a happy funny quick-witted person, but they don't see the tears behind my jokes. I don't want be sad anymore. istead of hiding my sorrow, I want to share my joy. So please help me put a bright ,shinning, healthy smile on my face that I can show to the world.
