I need assistance paying bills off like utilities and old apartment so that I can get my own place of living again. I am married and my husband has 3 payday loans that we have to keep paying off and imediately taking back out because we cant afford anything any other way. We can't afford daycare and have noone around to help us so I am unemployed. That is also because I didnt realize it while i was doing it but I do not have a strong work history. I want to go to cosmatology school so I can get a decent job and hope to advance to open my own business. I just know I can't even afford to keep food in the cabinets or milk in the refrigerator for our 2 yr old daughter and it hurts me very much to know that.

unemployed
Wichita, Kansas, USA

Hello,

I am in need of help. I worked for 20 years, never missing anytime except when my parents passed away or had vacation time to work on my house. I became unemployed in July of 2006 after working for a company that closed it doors in my location. I appealed to them to sign up with the government to agree to the job loss situation where the benefits would be extended but to no avail. I have found that here noone cares about job experience anymore, its all about the piece of paper (either a degree or certification). Here is the kicker though, due to my job being closed for good and thats why I became unemployed, I was able to go back to school for my MCSE certification. The problem with it is that its conflicting with work schedules so my school is keeping me from getting hired anywhere. What I need help with is living expenses while in school so I could get my certification and thus be able to get that good job. We have stayed pretty close on out bills to this point but have fallen behind slightly now. Any assistance would ne most appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,

I am a 21 year old college student, studying to be a dental hygienist. I am paying my way through college by working full time working 2 jobs. I have lots of student debt, credit cards, and car loans. I am a very kind and loving person who loves to help others. I am in need of a miracle at this point in my life, school, work, and bills bills bills. I am going crazy and drowning with all of the stress of life and everything else in life. I am just looking for a little help to keep me on my feet and to get me through school. My education is very important to me and my family, since no one in my family has graduated from colllege, I want to be the first. I really want to make something of myself!

I NEED A MIRACLE, (sort of)!! I am a college student in serioius debt. I have bill collectors calling at work and harrassing me. I would like to pay my debt but I'm trying to pay college tuition and my rent. I work 2 jobs and still dont have the money to make ends meet. I really need help with tuition, books, rent, supplies, and gas money. If anyone could help I would be very grateful to you! School means a lot to me and I dont have anyone to help me with my finances. THANK YOU SOO VERY MUCH!

Everyone has had times in thier life where their not so sure how they are going to survive. They may have negative after negative things happen in their life, things that drag them further down everyday. This is why my family needs your help. Ever since my husband joined the army, things keep going from worse to even unbearable. We have been between a rock in a hard place for so long, that it's become confertable. We have maxed out every source of help, and now calling out to the public. I can go on forever with the things in my life stressing us out, but I'll save my emotions for another day.

The story in short starts one year ago. After my husband and I where married we decied to move our family out of state to be closer to my mother while my father was serving in Iraq. We saved up enough money to last us 3 months, hoping we would get jobs by that time. Of couse that didnt happen. I was pregnant, so no one would offer me a job. My husband couldnt find anything above $7.50 an hour or part-time. So we borrowed money from friends and family. When we were totally lost, my husband decieded to join the army. The army packed up our house and moved our household things to Kansas, but they dont help pay for moving your family, paying for a hotel, deposit or first months rent. Yes they do re-emburse you some, but by that time you need the money just to pay the bills you couldnt pay earlier. We couldnt get accepted to an affordable apartment, so now we're stuck in one we can barely afford. After this my credit card went past due, yes I only have one, but its a $7000 balance. So they upped my interested and started charging late fees. Of course we couldnt afford the new monthly payments, so its been charged off and is now at an attorney's office. We had to buy a new car before moving to Kansas, because we didnt own one. Well 90 days to the T the car died on us, and it cost us $1200 to fix. Again bills were put to the side and we could barely afford to feed our kids. Just 2 weeks after that we were in a car accident, both parties were placed at fault, so now we have to now come up with $500 to pay to have our car back. I tried to find a job, but I would pay more in daycare, then I would earn. I took on a local paper rout so I could take my kids with me, but it turns out I pay more in gas then I make doing the rout. I tried to quit it, but they say I'm under a 30 day contract so now I'm stuck doing it and losing money.

As you can see things just dont seem to be going our way, if you could help us with making monetary donations it would be greatly appriciated and put to good use. This is not a scam, and the story is completely true. Every penny is appriciated. Thank You

I desperately need help for my 4 little boys, ages 7, 4, 2 and 2 months.....Please help!

Hello.....My name is Amanda.  I am a 27 year old mother of 4 darling boys, ages 7, 4, 2 and 2 months.  A couple of weeks ago our electricity was shut off.  Later that afternoon, we received an eviction notice from our landlord.  I was on maternity leave from my job as a juvenile corrections officer without pay.  I recently asked my employer if it was possible that I work part time until I could find somebody willing to watch my children while I worked (my hours are 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.).  They told me that it was either full time or nothing.  Since I couldn't find a babysitter, I had to quit my job.  However, I have been interviewing like crazy for a morning job because I have a babysitter during the day time hours.

My problem is, I have no money to move into a new house or pay the electric company money once I get moved into one.  I found a cheap house to rent for $320.00 per month with a deposit of $320.00.  My electic bill is down to $695.32 (with the help of 2 kind people).  I am asking for any help that anybody is willing to give me.  I PROMISE that once I get back on my feet I will pay you back.  I will even sign a contract with you declaring this.  I am asking for just enough $ to cover rent, deposit and my electric bill.  I have to find a home soon or my children could possibly be taken from me.  (They are currently living with their grandmother till I find us a place to live)  It is killing me like crazy to be away from them.   PLEASE......if you can help, let me know.  Thank you and God bless.....

Desperately In Need of HELP

I am one of the million single mothers in need of help. I was left to fend for me and my daughter on my own when her father walked out on us.... I am at a deadend job with no benefits, make $6.10 an hour, part-time, and can barely afford to keep a roof over our heads etc. I know it's not easy taking care of a child and I know it's not cheap. All I'm asking is if someone; anyone knows how I can apply for a personal grant to at least keep me afloat I would greatly appreciate them forever. I know it seems like a sob story but I'm telling this so people know where I'm coming from. In addition, I do not have money to purchase anything at the moment so if it cost just tell me up front what I need and I will try my best to get it done.Again I know I'm one of the many people out there so if you find someone that needs the information more than me give to them first, and if any information is given to me I promise to do my very best to pass it along to someone in my situation.

Thank you for your time.

In need of vehicle DESPERATELY

I am a soon to be single mom with 3 children under the age of 5. I left my abusive controlling husband to make my life better without any more beatings.  I now live 3 hours away so he cant find me.  Because I left I am now having to make ends meet with no end in sight.  I left the only vehicle behind because he had it when I left.,  The state has my children who I am fighting to get back due to my choice of leaving my abusive husband.  Everytime he goes to jail he is out within 15 minutes.  The states programs can't help me until I get my children back. But I am ordered to get a house, a job, and a vehicle within 2 weeks of my court date.  I start a job Wednesday making $2.15 a hour.  The state is going to hold child support from my checks since my children are in foster care temporary.  How in the world am I to get a home, and pay bills and pay for a vehicle at less than minimium wage?  I need help bad.  I never ask for help, but this is a real life crisis I can't fight on my own without help??

I am 26 years old. I have 3 children ages 5,4, and 2 years old.  3 Weeks ago I left my husband that abused me, mentally, physically, and verbally for 7 years.  Because I left trying to get myself together the state took my children who I am trying to get back.. That state took my children while I was in a shelter.  I moved 15 miles away to live with my parents. Well that was too close. I had him arrested. I am scared that he will find me and kill me someday.  Because of living to close, I now moved further away to live with family who has a family of their own. My sister has 1 vehicle and 2 children.  I cant get a job due to having to travel 3 hours 3 days a week for counceling and visits with my children. If her vehicle breaks down, then she will be without and I will be the one blamed.  I will always live in fear of my husband. I have not got to file for divorce yet, due to no money and no job.  My family is not wealthy but wealthy with their hearts.  Everywhere I go I put someone at risk of being hurt by my husband because he is determined to find me.  I am in desperate need to get a vehicle so I can get a job, and get a house and get my kids and get away from him. I know I will have to see him because of our children but I fear everyday for my life.  I have never asked for help. I have always gave all my life and never expected anything.  I just think I deserve a happy life and for my children to never see their mommy being abused by their daddy who they love so much.
I have 4 boys and we are without electicity

I am a 27 year old married woman and I have 4 beautiful boys ages 7, 4, 2, and 2 months.  My husband is working as a juvenile corrections officer, as was I until I had the baby.  I was planning on going back to work but I can't find any affordable daycare for our children from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.  On Friday, our electricity was shut off and we received an eviction notice from our landlord.  We have money that comes in, however, out of my husbands paycheck comes a $200.00 loan payment, a $223.00 furniture payment and he now has a garnishment of $187.00 coming out from when we took our son to the emergency room.  This leaves us with about $75  for 2 weeks.  We have to use that for formula and diapers and what little food we can afford.  I have been trying to find a new job in the mornings to help pay for the utilities but there is nothing in my town of 6,000.

I'm not asking for a free hand out.  I will pay this back once I get back on my feet (YOU CAN HAVE IT IN WRITING!)  I just need to get my bills paid off so I can start to get my family back on track!  If you can help, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm (fortunately) not currently in need of help.  I found this site while doing a search re. disabled housing for a friend who's on (very low) Soc. Sec. disability & is currently in a domestic violence shelter after leaving her abusive husband.  She's finding it very challenging to find a place in our city (low-income housing is tight, and even more so for the disabled).  I myself am disabled, and was previously in an abusive marriage.  I'll be glad to talk with anybody dealing with similar situations.
