I am a mother of a 2 year old son.  My husband and I try very hard to make a home for our family.  He lost his job the day after Christmas and has had trouble finding another one.  I have picked up some contract work, and am now working two contract jobs in addition to my full time job.  I was diagnosed 2 years go with multiple sclerosis, so the extra work is not an easy task.

Anyway, we got behind one month on our house payment and have been unable to catch up.  Our bank is demanding two months (the behind month plus this month) payment within 48 hours.  I don't have it and don't know what to do.

Well where do I start?  It all happened to me when I was about 21 years old.  I had worked in a retail store and was going to school at the same time.  I had a gap on my teeth so like most people I wanted to get rid of that.  So my goal was to get veneers done.  Well I did it working at a retail store I actually was able to pay for it, which it all came out to like $5000.00 dollars.  (The reason I was able to pay for it was because the doctor I went to did monthly payments with me.)  Anyways, So I was so happy smiling everyday and very happy with myself.  And then I meet this guy.  Big mistake.  I still cry at night thinking how he ruined me emotionlly, physcially, and mentally.  Me and him started off good and he always told me he loved me and cared and I fell for everything he said.  To make a long story short, evetually he started beating on me he beat me so hard that he knocked out all me veneers.  (As I right this I am crying.)  He beat me so hard that he broke my nose and I have a scar on my nose because of him.  When my mother came to see me at the hospital she couldn't even recognize me. Now he is in jail and I am happy about that. Well anyways I eventually had to get crowns to replace the veneers, but I couldn't afford the whole procedure so I'm still with Temps on it's like 1 year.  I hate it I don't smile that often, I cry everynight.  I am always wishing for the day I can get my teeth fixed.   I don't know what else to say, but hopefully someone will help me get a smile back on my face the way I used to be.  Thank you for taking time out to read this. God Bless!!!!

Good afternoon, I`m a single Father living in New Jersey. I came across this sight because I need cash assistance. I applied for section 8 in Elizabeth, New Jersey back in 1999/2000. My son and I lived in Elizabeth untill October of 2007. I left my apartment in October of 2007 because the current landlord sent me a letter from a Lawyer saying that I have to vacant my apartment . No reason was given. I left, came into contact with a friend from some twenty years ago. She invited my son and I to her apartment until I get back on my feet. I moved my items in November of 2007, everything was sweet. Now, we all know that things don`t stay the same, my friend founded this house which was to much for me to handle, so I had to back out, she went on to move into the house, Stress started to form because I`m about to be homeless if I don`t get no help. I called the city of Elizabeth to see the status of my case, don`t you know that they sent the letter to the wrong address. The Lady says to me Mr. Harris, we were lookin for you since, September of 2007. To make a long story short, I qualify for a two bedroom apartment. My goal is to move in my apartment by June of 2008. I`m asking for cash assistance to help with the security and first months rent. I have email if anyone is willing to help support me. I`m trying to set example that we as Men can take care of our kids too. Thank you for allowing me to vent my worries to you.

Full time college student and single mother
Big Rapids, Michigan
Languages: English, Latvian

I just found this site today and so I am still unsure how this works, and am still feeling my way around a bit. I am a single mommy of two little boys, who are my heart. I am also a full time college student, and sell on ebay as well. Right now I have no income, other than what I try and sell on Ebay. I have severe depression and anxiety attacks.. and it is difficult for me to find work. Although I do try and do what I can from home. . I am in great need of help with bills at the moment and simple things that are hard for me to come by right now such as diapers, toilet paper, etc..

I have posted a number of sites for others to take a look at that I have found to be helpfull, but they can only help so much and I am in great need at the moment.

We have plenty of food, so this is a blessing. But really need help to get my car insurance and plates, so i can take the kids to doctors appointments, etc..

We also have a heat shut off notice as well as an electric shut off notice, ( I can show copies to anyone willing to help us with this, or even contribute directly to the utility companies themselves) (I have sought help at community agencies, to no avail)

I have no one to turn to to ask for help.. So i am turning to this online community in hopes that someone can help... even if its jus a few dollars, it can add up to a package of diapers, etc..

My email and pay pal are sdelan05@gmail.com

Also I would love to find a female friend in my area that I can chat with and be friends with.. I have no friends in this small town..

If nothing else... a big blessing would be to find a strong community of female positive friends... someone that i can meet and we can uplift eachother with cards in the mail, emails, etc... I have a HUGE heart and value friendship very highly....I am the sort of person who likes to create lifetime friendships...

I have also been through many obstacles in my lifetime and survived much.. and so I can relate to what many people are going through, because I am either going through the same thing or have at one point in time in my life...

Thanks everyone... feel free to add me to your pages... I do not quite know how to do so myself quite yet... also if anyone could help me post my profile picture.. I am having a difficult time getting it to work.. thanks..

Why did I jump in when I know I can’t swim?

It’s 3 am and I’m about to lose everything . . .

My car . . . the place I stay . . . I only have enough food for two days.

Thank God Ramen Noodles are only 15 cents and a box of crackers $1.50 . . .

I reach out my hand for help only to see an ocean of people reaching out like me.

I scream; “Help me!  I can’t swim!  Please save me!”

Then I look over and see the single mother pregnant with another crying for help . . .

The family who moved into their dream home and are now losing it crying for help . . .

The father of three who spent all his money on hospital bills for the one that’s very ill crying for help . . .

The disabled woman who can’t afford to live off her small disability check anymore crying for help . . .

The college student who can’t pay their tuition, but has the desire to learn crying for help . . .

The former business executive that just lost his job and can’t find another crying for help . . .

The talented youth who moved to a big city on a dream, but now can’t afford a bus ticket home crying for help . . .

The retired teacher who spent years in service, but now can’t pay their gas bill crying for help . . .

And so on . . . and so on . . . and so on . . .

I put my hand down, Maybe I should just drown because after all I’m just one woman who jumped in knowing I couldn’t swim . . .

My story is simple . . . let’s call me Jane . . .

See Jane dream . . .

Jane runs after her dream . . .

Jane meets Sam who dreams big too . . .

Sam says, “let’s cross the ocean to the land where dreams grow wings . . .”

Jane responds, “but I can’t swim?”

Sam says, “don’t worry.  Someone will bring us a boat.  Trust me.”

Jane says, “I’ll always be stuck on the land of no opportunity if I don’t try.”

Jane jumps in the water.

Four months later Sam’s boat hasn’t come and you can only tread water for so long . . .

She sees Sam doing his best to hold on too and he tries to encourage Jane. . .

Jane is now facing reality . . .

“Sam is a big dreamer like me . . . with no boat . . . just the promise of one . . .”

Jane begins to drown.

Jane asks for help on the internet.

A man responds to her internet cry for help and Jane feels hopeful;

Until he says, “Just give me all your information, including your bank account . . .Then I will send you two boats . . . . All you have to do is put both boats in your name and send me one back . . .Then you can keep the other boat for free!”

See Jane get very annoyed.

She sees the holes in his boat and wonders why he would scam a woman already drowning.

See Jane realize life is hard while she starts to tread water again, hoping only in her God . . .

There are people out there who can help . . . but how do they pick from so many drowning people?

Anyway, who can say that once we are rescued . . .  we won’t jump in again? 

I’m posting this with the reality that Superman/woman is not out there waiting to rescue me from the bad situation I put myself in; but at least I can ask.  Here’s what happened.  I left my job in September to work for a man with a small entertainment business.  We had been working on music project together (which is still in process) and I was impressed with his talent. 

He was robbed the first week I started and the thief took his recording equipment worth thousands of dollars.   I decided to stay working for him, because he is brilliant when it comes to production and I believe in him.  I received one check in October (that’s when I paid Septembers rent) and haven’t been paid since . . . we are both struggling. 

He keeps telling me money is coming, but so far . . . well it hasn’t.   I haven’t paid my rent since October ($2,000 past due including this month), car bill ($1,800 past due), car insurance, credit cards, cell phone (it’s been cut off now for weeks), etc.  My credit went from okay to very bad.  My bank account is overdrawn (from my car company trying to withdraw funds that were not there . . . $30 x2) and I have $4 to my name.   

This is a shot in the dark because I know America is struggling right now and like I said . . . many have there hands out asking for help right now.  I can prove everything I’m telling you and would appreciate it if you can offer me assistance.  I only have until the end of this month before I am evicted and sooner than that I’ll be without transportation. 

Thanks for reading this.

I'm a mother of 3, 2 of which are school age.  I have been married to the love of my life for 24 years now.  We have been through some rough times, but have always pulled through.  I try not to let our current financial situation come between us, but sometimes it's hard.  It seems that all we do is fight over the bills lately.  He doesn't seem to understand that the money is very tight.  He's been a spoiled child, always got what he wanted from his parents, and seems to think that it should always be that way.  Now my oldest daughter told us she's engaged and plans on a wedding in 2009.  My husband wants to pay for everything, but how do you do that when you have no money, nor any savings.

Hi there, 

My name is Tia. I'm in a situation which is causing me major anxiety, stress, & even a little bit of depression. I'm 20 years old & was working at a winery as an administrative assistance but was recently put out of that job due to many unfortunate happenings.

My rent was due on the 5th of this month & I had no way of paying it & still haven't paid it. I've gotten a notice from my apartment manager telling me I have 3 days to pay rent or quit lease & I obviousl can't pay rent but that means this affects my roommate as well. My roommate, who used to be a good friend, is now really upset with me because she paid her half of the rent & I have to move out before our lease is up considering I can't pay & this whole situation is not fair to her. She doesn't understand my situation or want to be there for me & it's upsetting because I feel like I have nobody to talk to about this. Could anybody explain to me the process of being unable to pay rent & quitting the lease?

My mom and I haven't talked in over a year & my father is an alcoholic who has never been there for me financially. The only other person I would resort to for help would be my stepdad but he just had back surgery & his bank account was just recently overdrawn.  I have no gas in my car to get around to look for a job, barely any food in my cabinets, my credit card is maxed out, my checking account has been overdrawn & I'm just so upset & disappointed that I'm down to nothing. I feel like I've failed & I'm completely embarrassed. I've always been able to support myself since the age of 16 & now that I'm unable to it's almost to the point where it's depressing me. I need to do something about this but I am just so lost & so embarrassed that it's hard for me to deal with. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated from anybody.  : )

Thank you so much for taking time to read this & God bless you.

<3,

Tia

Dear Reader,

I am writing this Testament to express my grim so very grim tales of woe. Help, while it would be delightful and greatly appreciated I have at best a heavy heart full of doubt for I feel I have never received any, Truly. Both my Wife and I have four beautiful Children they are a gift from God and are loved with all of our hearts. We have done our best to shelter them from the evil that has attached us in a most horrid way. My wife and I both have parents we really cannot lean on, hers for medical and financial reasons and mine very similar except my parent have just recently lost their house and my wife and I have done the same. Our Home was what we put everything we had into, our life savings all gone in the sweep of an eye. It all started about 6 years ago when we went into business and worked real hard for everything we earned, had fairly good people who worked for us and depended on the jobs we provided for them to support their families we all built a successful business. About 1.5 ago one very large client an owner of a national chain of restaurants stiffed us out of about $400,000 Dollars, and yes we filed liens and got Attorneys involved at even more cost to us in which my parents and my wife and I that ended poorly for us. They were just over a billion dollar industry they could afford to wait us out and file continuations and appeals, our attorneys wanted more and more, we had to hawked our homes to the hilt My parents and ours just to keep the business open. This was not an easy thing to do, I mean to convince my wife and momma to put up their houses.

Around 9 months ago one of our employees embezzled about 30 grand from our company, went all over and wrote our business checks and forged our signature and what did she get for that a weekend in jail and 5 years probation with restitution of about $ 25.00 per month, we have received only one payment, that’s justice for you. We worked hard to rescued the business and worked hard to get the business a float with our deceitful interest only mortgages over our heads we landed a contract with a family ran development company and felt it was a good fit they had just bought the local mall for $4 million dollars in our town and was going to renovate it. We felt it was a God send but al last they hooked us for about 375K well again we turn to the local DA’s office for help. They investigated and had found out that these people have done this before and stated that “these guys are credit thieves and would love to go after them; However they did just invest 4 million plus into the local economy and had “Real Deep Pockets” and were buying up more real estate with their ill gotten gains. The DA’s office just did not have the funds to go after them and told us that we would have to get attorneys and file a civil action. Well, with heavy hearts we did that, we got the best our few remaining dollars and credit could muster. These guys were real good they took us for our last little bit, they had full disclosure and scooped up every last little bit we had and eventually recommended Bankruptcy. Well we tried to go that route. Went out and hired some attorneys to file bankruptcy, they never did file it just waste our last 5 grand and now don’t return our calls or except them.

We sold everything at auction, these evil rich people had the audacity to show up and mock us, saying they told us they would put us out of business and we would never get a dime from them, and you know they were right. We eventually pulled enough together to moved out of there with our head hung down, and I’d like to say it ended there we moved away to start a new life. I really tried to move to Canada or any place other then America, I had lost all faith in a system that had abandoned us every time in our time of need just because we didn‘t have the money to buy justice. My wife and I supporting our entire family we got new jobs and worked real hard but I had a bad turn of luck on the health front in that I had my leg punctured and no not at work. I had an antibiotic resistant bacteria try to kill me and then had received Steven Johnston syndrome as a result from sulfur based Antibiotics. Lost my job and now cant pay rent, ran up medical bills, had the car repossessed and feel like the fair haired orphan child asking for a hand out every time I go to the doctor. Did I mention we sold most all of our worldly possessions just to survive? Here we sit penniless poor as the poorest church mice realizing our American dream is all but lost. We cant help to feel that all hope is lost and at every corner we hit a ruff spot. It is called hopelessness, a sorrow that hurts you to your core. I never could believe people could do these evil thing to one another. Don’t they know it is hurting my children, fine kill me but why hurt children and please spare my wife, I don’t know how she has endured this. I have to admit it feels good to right it down I left out some details of further depression mainly about turning to people for help and receiving nothing. I’d like to add that when we were on the top we helped many, but since then have never met anyone like us that would help us. At least we are not alone for every day I see the news and their yelling Credit crunch and Mortgage matters, yet it is still all about the money isn’t it.

A preacher at our local church once told me he might help 10 people knowing perhaps 7 or 8 of them really didn’t need the help, But he felt good about helping to those 2 or 3 that did. We are one of the 2 or 3 and the preacher I knew long ago is long gone and so is his way of thinking. I always lived by that code, help others and someday it will be returned. I am not mad at God or blame him I would like to try to understand his plan it is confusing but I am sure he wants us to have this experience for at least it has brought us together. Some here the 7 or 8 that don’t need help should really not ask, it is a horrible sin I would think, and yet some would mock the 2 or 3 asking for help, some are cynical I completely understand that for I have come to see that evil people make good people sour. Please feel my heart filled plea and don’t just don’t down the poor for at least some of us still stand together or stand for something. We still keep the faith no matter what, no matter what. Good day and my God bless all of you.

I am married to a disabled Marine.  He is 44 years old and has limb-girdle muscular dystophy.  Thankfully his disease has been progressing slowly and he was able to work as a self-employed carpet installer up until Sept 07.  We immediately applied to have his disability rating increased, but learned today that it will be another 3-6months.  We have 2 children at home, a daughter 17 (diabetic), and a son 18.  I lost my job making pretty good money in May 06 due to the company being sold.  I was unable to find another job so I am currently a full time student at the local community college which is paid for through Job Training.

 We have been unable to pay a power bill all winter and are quickly sinking having lost the income of 2 jobs in 2 years.  We were going through a bankruptcy when my husband became disabled and our attorney filed for a moretorium on our behalf which has so far saved our home.  We qualify for $230/month food stamps, but that lasts about 2 and a half weeks.

Our families have helped as much as they can, but they can't afford to help for another 3-6 months.

I have been searching for organizations, but most of them are focused on the Iraq veterans, or active duty personnel.   If anyone knows of any groups that can offer assistance, we would appreciate it!

Well,I feel kinda stupid telling my story but,here it goes! Back in Sept.2007 I was on a dating site and some guy came on and said,He loved everything about my essay and profile !That He thought we should talk more!And,mind you I,m not the lonely vulneruble type,I,m really quit smart cus of past relationships and street smart,s plus spiritual awareness!This guy was a professional con-artist from the word go!So I went from talking on the dating site to yahoo messager!And,we shared alot of things for about 3 and a half week,s before He started needing money from me but, everything was verifyable so I thought!Planned ahead by his team I later figured out!So 4 mths later and $4,000 in debt. I,m hurting cus I,m on S.S.I disability and only get $637. !So what I,m hoping is that someone will have compassion for me and help me with my phone bill of $400. cus this is an important factor for me!   susan.grayson@yahoo.com
