I never thought that I would be in this situation, but who does. I am in a desperate situation. I am unemployed, and desperated for some type of assistance.  Here's my story.  I was a Facilties Manager for a homeless shelter for 10 years until we got a new Director who decided that she would get rid of all the managers for her 'own' people.  Since that time I worked for a furniture company, only to get into a car accident (directly in front of the building), just 2 days before my insurance became effective. I hurt my back and could perform the long standing the job required.  I had previously been a draftsperson but had only worked on the board (no CAD) so decided to return to school.  After being approved for a full scholarship, I enrolled in the Internet and LAN Security program only to find out in week 4, (when it was too late to ofset any charges), that I had an outstanding loan from 1972, so my grant was revoked.  So now I owe this school and couldn't continue.  I really think it was a scam because you can go on the internet and apply for a loan in 30 seconds, but they couldn't find this loan for 6 weeks. Just in time for me to have to pay for the whole semester.  I had however taken courses in Excel and Access which enabled me to qualify and get a job for a temp service working for Chrysler for 6 months until the constant lifting of boxes caused a pinced nerve in my back to cause weakness in my leg and a limp in my walk, so they ended my contract after my doctor put a 5lb. limit on what I could lift (2006). Since that time I have not been able to find a job and with no insurance I can't get the physical therapy the doctor suggested. 

In July of 2007 I could no longer afford my apartment so I had to move in with an old friend and daughter.  I can't contribute to the household so I feel depressed.  The only money I've had since then was what I was paid (once a year) for an annual fesitival that I am the Assistance Volunteer Coordinator for.  This year the pay came the very day that my  car got towed for no insurance on Oct. 20, (while I was away cashing the check). So now I have my tags and insurance, but no car, and the cost is rising everyday. My winter coat and clothes are in the trunk along with some baking supplies. I don't know how much more I can take.  I know the bible says "God will not give us more that we can handle" but I'm not sure.  I don't look forward to Thanksgiving or the Holidays.  I have 4 grandsons and I couldn't get them anything last year, and won't be able to get them anything this year.  I don't want a hand out just a helping hand. 

I really need to get my 1994 Grand Prix out of pound before it cost me more that I paid for it 2 years ago ($900.00).  I have 2 children, but they have their own families and my youngest is still in school (college) with a child of her own.

I am trying to sell cakes.  I took cake decorating classes earlier this year, but couldn't finish the last course because of cost and I've placed flyers in area stores but with little success so far.  Since I've started I've only sold 2 cakes.

I've never been a lazy person. I got my first job at the age of 12.

If there is a Guardian Angel out there for me, I sure could use you now.

"God Bless" you.

Hello. I am in a situation that I know I will never be able to overcome w/o some help from my guardian angel. I am a wife, mom, step-mom, Ninamom, & Grandmother. You see those 3 beautiful girls in my profile picture, the oldest is my baby and the other 2 are my grandaughters, all who I help raise.  My hubsand & I have both worked very hard to support our family. But after his accident, our income DRASTICALLY decreased & we were forced to file for Bankrupcy. In 2002, my husband suffered his first of 6 heart attacks! He's a Diabetic w/heart problems & back problems & is struggeling w/depression & anxiety issues due to his inability to provide for his family like he used to. He takes 10 pills & 4 insulin shots daily which are not cheap! Due to his health he is disabled. I work full time as the office manager. Our combined income is barely enough to survive & w/costs rising, it is getting harder to live. Everything is past due or already cut off: 15k/medical; 5k/credit cards; $76/water; $122/propane; $176/phone; $201/cable; $70/electric; $1250/rent; $2483/IRS. Gas prices are killing me! I drive 45 miles to work 1 way just to have a job w/decent salary. I haven't been grocery shopping in 6mo, if I pay the rent or the bills then I can't afford to buy food! The worst is I have 8 payday loans of $300ea just from trying to make ends meet. This is what is really killing me! If I could get the $2400 to pay off those payday loans & not have to re-apply for them, I would be in such a better place! I've tried other loans but my credit sucks. No one is willing to loan a hard working woman some money for a reasonable mo pmt w/a fair interest rate w/o checking the credit! Yes, I am high-risk credit wise, but I have a good heart & a conscious. I'm not looking for a hand out, just a second chance. I feel like I am going to have a heart attack! I remind myself that no matter how bad we have it, someone has it worse. I am truly blessed in the way of family but unfortunately, that does not pay the bills, if it did, I'd be RICH! I've been thru many ups & downs w/my family & many scary situations. I have almost lost my husband a few times & we just lost one of our beloved Rottweilers, Nikita, a couple weeks ago to an unexpected, sudden stroke, I've been homeless, jobless, autoless, hungry, hurt, talked about, but something always gives. I always help people when I can. Me & my husband have the biggest hearts, especially when it comes to kids & animals. We've raised others kids, taken in homeless families & rehabilitated sick animals. My motto, ''Be Generous & You Will Be Prosperous. Help Others & You Will Be Helped.'' Proverbs 11:25. I believe there is a guardian angel out there willing to help me, maybe he/she will read this & agree to help me out in some way, every little bit helps.  God only gives people as much as they can handle, so he must think I am a very strong person. I still have my faith & hope because if I let go of that, I fear that I will die. Are you my Guardian Angel?

Injured at work, Need Temporary aid

I am a 37 year old man with a wife and 3 daughters.  Recently I was injured on the job when a forklift rolled into my left knee pinning it to a table.  Since that time I have had difficulty walking and workmans comp, tho helpful, is not enough weekly income to cover my bills.  My wife is disabled and I am the only source of money for our home.  I am healing well and will be back on the job by January of 2007.  Its just at this time my family could use financial assistance in order to get our bills paid.  Anyone willing to lend temporary assistance would be paid back in full (or with interest) over a short period of time after I return to work.

My story is quiet long but i will try my best to give you the short version... I was born in Berlin Germany had a wonderful mother . my father and 2 younger siblings. We had a normal life until my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer... after that my life was never the same , She battled the disease for 2 years and finally lost her life . My dad basically went insane after loosing her and up and moved us to the United States, there he started doing strange things and even turning to criminal acts. He got re-married after we only met our step mom to be once. To support his new family of  7 He began stealing and breaking and entering into houses, credit card theft ect. ect. and finally was caugth and thrown in jail . Meanwhile we ( his children ) where left with the unemployed abusive step mother .. did i mention we where illegal in this country since my dad never took care of our paperwork ? So i started working under the table babysitting, housecleaning and after 3 or so  years was finally able to pay a lawyer to fix me up with a greencard. Happy Ending not quiet... after some whirlwind years with my step mother( she for instance send my youngest brother back to germany into a childrens home) and my father he was released out of prison he kindly stole $1700 from me to pay for my Stepmothers free ride to Germany ( he got his free ticket by being deported) and he stole my social security number and caused all sorts of trouble with it , like getting payday loans in my name and opening a credit card. My father has made my life a living hell and I have struggeld to make ends meet, I'am so far in debt thanxs to him , I'm still paying my immigration lawyer, i have to pay off the debt he helped create . I have had my greencard for two years now and have been working legally ever since as a nanny here in california. I love my job and have a stable income but its not enough to make ends meet with all this debt . Last year i lost my appartment because i couldent keep up and i had to live with friends ... I finally found a nice place , renting out a room , the house is close to where i work wich is great because i dont drive .

I'am  struggeling to keep it all together and it is now June and i dont have the $700 rent that I need to have  to keep this room. My landlord is giving me a week to figure it out ...

If anyone can help me pay my rent i would be so thankful... also i'am looking for a private lender to give me a personal loan of $3000-$5000 i can make payments of $50-$100 each month until the loan is paid back in full. This would help me immensly and prevent me from falling under again . I believe there has to be someone out there willing to help, I'am a hard worker and have been on my own for a long time I'm not asking for freebies, only a helping hand. Please contact me asap if you are able to help in any way at all !!!
