Hi, I'm Kelly and I am a Nurse in Need of Your Help

I am a woman who has dedicated my life to helping others but sadly, I was injured at work and was told by the doctor to stop working. The doctors think that the damage to my knees are extensive but my employer says the injuries are unverified and has convinced the insurance company to hold off treatment. Even though I have been treated terribly by my employer and the insurance company, I still have faith in the caring and compassion of others. It is with this belief that I humbly ask for help. Although financial help is what I need so desparately, even a kind word or some advise will be greatly appreciated.

If you would like more information about me and the help I need, please click on my AidPage 'Can you please help a nurse in need?'

This is the first time I’ve every done something like this and it is difficult so please bear with me. I am Kelly and I am a Registered Nurse. I've spent many years having the opportunity to do what I love, helping others in need. I have been the caregiver and advocate for others who are suffering from illness or injury and also a liaison for family members who are caught in the painful, sometime powerless feeling of watching their loved ones go through illness or injury.

Now I find myself in the position of needing help. I was injured at work, but I am told it will be months until I receive any help financially. I have lost just about everything, except my home. And I am terrified I will loose that too. As a nurse I have faced emergencies with skill and professionalism, but I’m afraid I’ve hit a problem I am not able to fix. As difficult as it is for me to ask for help, I would imagine it is also difficult for someone to offer help to a virtual stranger, so let me give you a bit of insight into who I am.

I accepted the position as Director of Nursing at my current job. This facility's pay is very low with no health insurance or other health benefits, no sick time, vacation or holiday pay. This facility also had a reputation of doing very badly during state visits and has an administrator who is known for treating her staff poorly and letting the people in her care do without even some of the most basic of needs.

I had my work cut out for me. But I did not take the job because it would be easy. I took the job because I saw a need for my skills and expertise and I knew I could make a difference in the lives of the patients and the staff. I firmly believe that everyone, regardless of their financial or social status, deserve the best care available. And with the help of other dedicated staff members, I was able to create an environment that was focused on the well-being of those under my care. The patients and staff now had someone who was not afraid to speak up for them. Someone who put the patient's needs above all else and set the standard for other health care professionals in the facility. Having State Survey cite no deficiencies (the first time in over 10 years) was an added bonus. But the best indicator that I was doing my job was on the faces of those in my care. It wasn't uncommon for me to clock out at three but not leave until four. As I would make my way toward the door, patients would stop me and want to talk to me, share stories with me or just want to exchange pleasantries as I left and make sure I was coming back 'tomorrow'.

In my private life, I purchased a major fixer-upper. But it was love at first sight! By doing the renovations ourselves, we have saved thousands I’m sure and it also helps that we have been lucky enough to find things others don’t want and use it for this task. Even though this project has had to come to a halt since I’ve been injured, I know that the rest of the ceilings will be put up, we’ll be able to paint the drywall and have a tub to use down the road.

But in the meanwhile, I am in what seems to be a hurt at work nightmare as my boss and the insurance company refuse to get me the medical treatment I so desperately need and agree to give me temporary total disability. I am so lost, scarred and in so much pain. My hope is that there are people out there who would be willing to help me financially or by any other means available. My mortgage is $296 per month (one advantage of getting such a fixer-upper). And since we have been cutting back on bills, my bills are about $150 per month. Any help at all would be so appreciated. I could even make arrangements to pay back a loan if someone is willing to help in that way.

I have heard that adversity can bring out the best in people. I believe that with my whole heart. I’ve been privileged enough to see it during my career. Finding this website has really opened some doors for me and it is my deepest desire that once I am back on my feet again, that I return the favor by helping others in need.

Thank you so much for reading my story.

OK, here's the deal. I have been married for 4 years and our financial staus has been spiraling downwards ever since. I have changed jobs, taken on a second, sold everything that I can think of (or that will even sell) and I am still unable to get us on top.  My wife and I both work, I am tryng to finish my schooling and manage two jobs. Unfortunately I don't have a child to use as a sympathy call, but our situation has definitely kept us from being able to make that decision. We have just recently run into a slew of bad tidings and I don't know where else to turn. I don't have assistance from family or friends and my credit is so shot I can't even get a loan. I am being taken to court by two parties, one for non-payment and the other my city for not completing my landscaping in a timely manner. Hence, we need help and I have no idea how to repay but I will promise to do so when I'm acctually in a place that I can save some money. Please help us or I am afraid I will actually lose our home.

I have a beautiful 5 year old daughter that I need to be able to support, and I have come to realize that I need help!  I have an education and I work hard, but I do not have any health insurance and I am in dire need of surgery for carpal tunnel.  I was recently forced to quit my second job because the pain was unbearable after 10 hours of work, I would be in tears before I got home from work.  I am now faced with mounting bills and I have no where to turn for help!  I have prayed about it and I have found this web site, and I am hoping I can get some help. 

I need assistance in getting the outpatient surgery for my condition so I can adequately provide for my daughter.  I am currently behind on all my bills due to the inability to work my second job, and I don't know how much longer I can continue to work my primary job if I do not get the surgery!

Please Help Us!

I don't really even know where to start or how much to write so I'll just give the basics.

In June 1999 my mom had a heart attack and decided to would take a LOA from my current job at that time to help out. I was working for a Snap-On Diagnostics-a billion dollar company making very decent money. Over the next month we found out that my mom actually had cancer so by Nov 99 I decided to move to my moms town to be near her not only for her sake but for my sons sake as well.

To make this shorter, ever since I've been in this small tourist town I've struggled raising my son and taking care of my mom and her family since no type of hospice is available in this area.

A few years back she lost her battle but by this time I myself was struggling financially because my husband who I separated from because he didn't feel a need to be supportive of the reasons I was moving here and declined to 'tag' along, decided right after my mother passed away figured it would be great time to file for bankruptcy because all the things he agreed to pay and keep during our separation he neglected to pay or gave up? Either way he dragged me into it because we were technically 'still' married and at the time of my move, we didn't file for a 'legal' separation properly, etc etc. Unable to get anything on credit, including credit cards, I've struggled to take care of my son and myself effectively.

I recently lost my job here working as an administrative assistant making probably the best money I could make here with just a highschool diploma and no technical training or experience. It was totally unexpected and at the worst possible time of the year here in this small tourist town. Now after the California fires and the loss of that business we expected to get from them it seems the past month I've been seeking employment has been useless. The way things work around here after someone does hire you, it will be more than 2 or 3 weeks before I would even see a paycheck waiting on orientation and the background/drugscreening processes.

If you could ask any one person who knows me you would know I have a lot of pride. I have taken care of most of the people I know on some level or another, mostly with shelter and a place to get a leg up but have always been there for them and offered everything I have to them.

But here I sit on this puter reaching out to complete strangers for assistance. I feel like such a failure and I have no family left to help me, I haven't even slept but a couple of hours literally for the last 7 days just stressing on what exactly too do. This area is so small that there are really no programs to assist paying bills. The foodbank is a joke, and without original copies of birth records (which I personally have never owned) any government assistance is a useless waste of time and also cost money obtaining them. I will still apply for them at some point in the near future.

I am not asking for much, just enough to get through the next month. I am willing to go without cable, and even give up the internet, but the power, gas, water and phone are necessities. If I dont pay for water, I get an eviction notice, which I found out some time back when they refused to take my rent check because I neglected to pay this new water bill I had never gotten in my previous years living here for 3 months. Any way, and I need at the very least the phone to allow potential employers the opportunities to contact me, and since we live in a remote area, we need to be able to contact anyone and everyone for everything.

I have figured out that I will need about $2000 to get through the next month before I will get a paycheck of any kind. I am not above working for the low wages of $6.50 or even working two jobs but just getting one job seems to be a problem. Then the next problem is finding full time employment at $6.50 since the tourism is down.

I just need some help. If I didnt have a child I would just pack up my necessities and be homeless and screw my credit up even more if necessary just to live. I mean I cant even get a payday loan since I dont have a job....Im so lost and frustrated :(

Can ANYONE help me? anything? Does anyone know of any emergency funds available immediately that does not require me to have original copies of birth records? Does anyone know of any free services available to people in rural Nevada? I've been up all night, stressing. I just want to get a darn job that pays more than $8.00 and hour fulltime that doesnt require me to have all these government issue cards that many jobs require here-Health, Tam, Non/Gaming which can cost together about $200.

I have about $200 left to my name which will pay for some gas and food for my son and I and all the bills are due and I would be more than willing to show anyone who wants to see them to prove it. I live about 6 miles from all the jobs that I may qualify for and the city bus costs either $1.50 each way or $40 for a monthly pass (this is also the previous employer I worked for so...)

Anyone out there? Can anyone spare some funds to help me pay my bills? I'm willing to sign a contract to repay once I am able to do my taxes. The rent for the first is the BIGGEST deal. My current rent is $655.00. My power bill is $197.00 which is actually part of last months bill and the current bill which is now overdue and in turnoff mode. They say I need $70 to keep it on. My phone/internet bill is $106.00, my water is $24.00, my gas is $26.00 and my cable is overdue now and the current months bill is $85.00. My truck registration is also due which is $50.00. My small credit building loan is $90.00 and I only have 2 months left. I got my son converted to free meal program at school so food will be minimal $100-$200, I am willing to give my cats to a shelter rather than letting them starve. I have enough personal hygiene stuff to get us through the next month or 2. So that just leaves fuel for my truck and insurance which is $63.00 each month. My sons birthday is also Dec 1st, rent day. SO, as you can see, I'm screwed and I just don't have any clue of what to do.

please tell me something....anything....please help 

Hello everyone. My name is Kermita and I am asking for some support, primarily financial but any other kind is acceptable. I don't have a great need at this time, or shall I say I don't have a real sad story to tell. God has been really good to me. But I also know that God uses people as angels to bless those who are in need. In my lifetime I have definitely been an angel to many through the time, energy and money that I have gifted to family, friends and charitable organizations, and I plan to continue being an angel to others as much as I can. But I am now asking for help for a need that I have.

I have signed up to work with the Americorps organization and made a commitment to work in an impoverished community for a year. I did so after being unemployed for about 8 months and worrying about myself. I know that the best way to open yourself up for blessings is to be a blessing to someone else. So this program will relocate me and pay me a very small living wage while I am there.

My need is that they don't provide housing and I am going from NYC to Virginia and I don't have the money required to put down a first month/security deposit on an apartment. I have a month before I am scheduled to begin working with Americorps and I am asking for some help. Anything that you have to spare will be appreciated. I am only looking to raise $750 in total. Thank you to those who can help. Thank you to those who can't help me financially but send me their prayers and well wishes just the same.

Hello, I am Kelly and I am a Registered Nurse. I've spent many years having the opportunity to do what I love, helping others in need. I have been the caregiver and advocate for others who are suffering from illness or injury and also a liason for family members who are caught in the painful, sometime powerless feeling of watching their loved ones go through illness or injury.

Now I find myself in the position of needing help. I was injured at work and my employer is denying the validity of the claim. While this has to be worked out in court, which could take months, I have lost the only source of income for my family...me. I have no income and bills that will not wait. My biggest fear is that I will loose my home since I am unable to pay my mortgage of $296 per month and it is already overdue. It is so difficult to ask for help, but I would imagine it is just as difficult to offer help to someone you do not know so if I may, I will give you insight into who I am.

I accepted the position as Director of Nursing at my current job. This facility's pay is very low with no health insurance or other health benefits, no sick time, vacation or holiday pay.

In my private life, I had my work cut out for me too. We had bought an extreme fixer-upper, but I fell in love with the house at first sight and knew, once the work was finished, it would be a wonderful home to grow old in. We have been doing all the work ourselves, but the work on our home has come to a stand still since there is not money to complete the projects still needing to be done.

Don't get me wrong. I do not mind living in our home that still needs so much work. I figured we may even be able to do without electricity if it comes to that, but I am terrified to loose our home. We would then be put out in the streets.

If anyone is able to help, I would be so greatful. And please, any help would be appreciated, no matter what it is.

Thank you for taking the time to ready my story.

Bless you all!

Hi all!

I've decided to give this a try. I am a mother of 3 year old twins. We recently moved to Conyers to be closer to my mother. I was thinking I needed that type of support, being a single parent and all. Ever since I got here, things have been going down hill and I am in need of financial assistance. Rockdale Relief won't help because I haven't lived here long enough. I've put in applications at retail stores that are within walking distance since I no longer have a car but no one wants to hire me. I hope the fact that I was a legal secretary back in Virginia isn't hindering me from getting a retail position. I really need to work!!  If there are any generous people out there, please help us!  Georgia is a state that protects the owners more so than renters and the eviction process is only 2 weeks. I am so afraid of getting evicted because we'll have no place to go! Conyers also doesn't offer temporary housing or even shelters! I was really surprised by that. Again, whatever you can help with will be greatly appreciated, for sure. sunshynne830@yahoo.com - Chelsi
