financial help needed

All I want for Christmas . . . . .

To Whom It May Concern:

I am almost at the end of my rope as Christmas approaches this year.  I have no place to turn.  After a lot of prayer I turned to searching the internet for financial help and found this site where I am allowed to post my wish.

I'll try to make this as short and to the point as possible. . . . . in fact I updated this on 12-19 because the first draft was way too long. . . . . . . My problem started in late July of this year, (2006) although I didn't find out about it until almost the end of August. Through no fault of my own, my bank account (both savings and checking) were compromised and completely cleaned out!  Leaving me with ZERO, when there had been over $25,000.00 the week of July 1st!!!!!  My bank's Fraud Division is still investigating and will only tell me that the entire amount is rarely recovered! 

I am left with the task of trying to cover all the NSF checks that were returned for all my bills written in August - over $2800 worth of checks and extra charges! I have been unable to work since 2003, therefore it has been quite impossible to do this on only my spouse's income.  Each month new bills arrive placing the current amounts farther behind!

I am searching for any job I can do, but without success thus far. The water was turned off for 2 weeks while I ravaged through belongings to sell to cover the past due amount PLUS a $75 deposit they wanted.  Showering and filling jugs of water at my daughter's house to manage.  Same thing happened with the power, including their requiring an extra $100 as a deposit to turn it back on.  But, it was only off for 24 hours before I found something to sell.  I could NOT risk losing everything in the freezer. 

I've kept my car payment almost current, making a payment just prior to the 30-day mark.  But, that caused me to get behind on the HOUSE payment! As of December 1st, three payments are now due ($2800+) and I have no resources to which to turn.  I cannot lose this house!  We put a substantial down payment on it, and already sunk more into it with some remodeling, before this problem hit.  I'm much too old to lose it and not physically able to move belongings!  Besides, I could never come up with deposits that would be needed to move elsewhere, nor be able to rent moving help.

I tried applying for food stamps and assistance, but was told that my spouse "makes too much" to qualify.   Exactly $2 too much!!!! And no one will help us on the utility bills because he works! I suppose if we were both just lying around watching TV they would help?  Makes me rethink where my donations money will go in the future!

I cannot borrow anything from the bank, because our good credit is now ruined from getting behind.  Everyone wasted no time in reporting the 30-60 days past due items!  I also recently discovered that of the handful of job interviews I've had so far, most likely all disregarded my experience after running a credit check.  I had no idea possible employers can run a credit check until I read it in an article in the classified section of our newspaper!  That seems quite unfair!  My credit situation of present has nothing to do with my ability to do a good job for someone! And, of course, it will take a couple of years to repair it.  Sheesh!  As I stated in the beginning,  I am at the end of my rope.  I do not know where else to turn.  But, I will continue my job search.

I have even tried to think of a way to do a fund-raiser where many people might care to donate $10-$100 each to help total up the amount I need to keep my house. But, I'm embarrassed to spearhead this myself and not quite sure of the legalities of such a thing. How would I word something like this for a newspaper ad? And be able to keep my identity quiet? Without it appearing to be a scam?

PLEASE!  I don't where else to turn.  Any kind donation would be greatly appreciated  as I continue to pray for a more permanent solution.

I don't mind posting my email address, if anyone wishes to use PayPal to send a donation. I will gladly answer any question you may have, if you write me.  

God bless any who find it in their hearts to help.

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.

Single mom in TX needs a little help

Hi, my name is Laura and I am a single mom of three. I am a survivor of domestic violence, and recently moved to start over. Things were going well for us until my job closed down, giving only 3 days notice. Luckily the money I managed to save covered most of January's rent. I have recently found another job (waitressing) but the money isnt as good as at my last job. I am also driving a car that has no reverse, which I have managed to deal with, but then, the hood latch on my hood messed up and as I was driving to work, blew open and cracked my windshield. I try to keep my spirits up and continue to try. However, Im really worried that I wont be able to make enough for February's rent, or that I will have to pick up a second job, and my kids will be left raising themselves. After all we've been through, I hate to leave them alone so much.  I really need some help getting caught up on my bills til I find a better job, or til business picks up.

Any financial help or words of inspiration is greatly appreciated.

Need to Raise $20,000 to Save My Home

I need help raising the funds to save my home. I was in a battle with the bank for over 3 years, we have finally settled the case, but as a result I need to raise the funds to satisfy the agreement. Any amount that anyone can donate will be helpful. I need the funds ASAP! I am desparate. I had a financial reversal and am getting back on track, but don't have the amount of money that I need to settle this completely. Thank you in advance.

Hello,  my name is Paola Serena, I am 33 years old and I live in Torino (Turin) in Italy.

I am in trouble, I need financial help as soon as possible, because....  because I am stupid ! I was going to marry my boyfriend, we were organizing all "properly" (buying a home together, for example) and he seemed to have some "temporary" problems in getting money free from some investments funds, or something like this..... Well, I was getting to marry him, to share my life with him forever (you can laugh at me, no problem...I know I am a stupid myself...) so of course I trusted him...  Who can you trust if not the person you have choden to live with ...?

Well.... to be short....he has desappeared.....  With a great part of my money, and leaving me with a mortgage and lots of others debts... Now i am in trouble with my home, my job, my mother (age 73, she depends on me)..etc etc

I can work and I want to give back any help I hope to receive....  But I must afford a lots of bills now, immediatly, and I can't afford them....

Here in Italy taking a loan is not easy as it seems to be in United States...  I often receive some promo-emails about some so called "payday loans" or "cash advance"....  they say $ 1500 in your bank account by tomorrow, no credit check, no faxes, etc....   But it must be US resident, of course, and I am not.  Or at least have a US bank account, and of course I haven't.

So.... I dont know, I am looking for someone who could help in any way, I need money fast, immediatly, now... I have been trying all I can think of, then I tried to browse internet and here I am...

Please forgive me for my English, and I do hope everyone in trouble, here and anywhere, could find someone helpful. The same I do hope for me, of course....  I have been helping people in my life, I believe that some special "fate" could know it and remember it, and help me too now...

Thank you for any financial help and advice you could give me.

No sympathy wanted, just understanding of where I am right now in my life, and why I am seeking financial help.

I was married to an abusive man for 20 years. When I was able to escape, I ended up being ripped off by a lawyer who took my $5,000 and left the state.  She was disbarred but not required to pay back.  That loss had a rippling affect because I then did not have enough money to pay for a decent lawyer to fight for me and ended up getting the short end of the stick.  I had worked all my life, and married and had children instead of going to college - dumb move - but it seemed that it was the right thing to do.  Now, I can't get a job that will actually support a family in this area.  I don't receive much in child support, as he took one of the children from me so he wouldn't have to pay so much.  We are barely getting by.  I inherited debt by hiring the second lawyer and would just like to ask for money to help get me out of debt - is there anyone who would be kind enough to lend $5,000 to me to help me get away from these high interest cards and so that I can go to college to improve my circumstances?  Life has been rough - I work full time and two part time jobs to make ends meet.  I'm not frivolous and don't spend a lot on food or entertainment.  Life is just too damned expensive for a single mother.  Blessings to anyone who can give me a hand & you will be paid back.

I am at wit's end at this point.  I can't get a consolidation loan nor can I get refinancing on my house as I had gotten the lowest interest rate possible when the rates were good. My parents don't have much extra money and they are in their late seventies.  Some days I just feel like hanging it all up. 

Tragedy strikes once, twice......

 

Hi ~ I am a single parent in desperate need of financial help. My little girl is only 8 years old.

Let me explain.... In May of 2006, I was let go from a job I was at for 4 1/2 years, due to company restructuring. Then on July 1st I was involved in an automobile accident that put me in a coma for 29 days. Fortunately the doctors did save my life and my leg, but I was left without the ability to obtain employment for numerous months while I was recovering (I was not allowed to collect unemployment benefits during this time) which forced me to cash in my 401K plan, my savings and I had to start relying on my credit cards to keep me afloat.  I have absolutely nothing left to use. This February I was able to obtain a used car with my income tax return and have been beating the pavement looking for new employment. My unemployment benefits are about to expire and I am frantically searching for a solution. I'm not asking for millions or to be "sitting pretty", I need to get out of this financial slump and get on with life without upsetting the life of my child. At 8 years old, she doesn't deserve to have her world turned upside down again, my accident and near death experience, was traumatic enough.

My name is Kenneth and I have a family owned furniture company in Morristown, Tenn. We sell furniture to the mobile home industry. I purchased the business from my father 20 years ago and until recently my family and my business have flourished. But we have fallen on hard times. I am currently involved in two lawsuits which have left my business and me in debt.

 

            The first lawsuit involves a former employee. She embezzled over $100,000 from my business over the period of about a year. She was my office manager and was writing fraudulent checks to herself which were recorded as payments to the IRS for federal and state taxes. This has consequently landed me with a large amount of back payments to the IRS, as well as the stolen money. I am currently suing for this but the court date has been postponed by her and her lawyer numerous times. She was convicted of these charges in criminal court, but I have to sue her in civil court in order to collect the stolen money.

 

            The second lawsuit involves a former business partner. After the embezzlement, I was forced to sell my business, commercial truck, and inventory to this woman due to my large amount of debt. I went to work for her doing sales after that. To this day, she has failed to pay me for the inventory and the truck. She has also failed to pay me a large sum of commission payments that was owed to me. I am currently suing for this but the court date has not been set. Attorneys have a way of delaying court dates for as long as they want.

 

            I have two children in college and a child in grade school. My business is currently about to go under. My credit score is extremely low due to the unpaid payments to the IRS and other creditors, so I am unable to take out a loan to help keep my business afloat. Due to lack of funds, my health insurance for myself and my three children has been canceled. As a small business owner to anyone who sympathizes or has been through a similar ordeal, any help would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at Peblcrk@aol.com. My family and I thank you.

Personal Chef
Languages: english

I am in a desperate situation. I am a mom of two children. I dropped off my eldest daughter for a school ski day early this am. Shortly after I dropped off my little one at preschool. I pulled up to the house and my husband, who was home yet again from work -almost no work has come in this month due to the time of year in construction and the extreme cold weather, was packing his belongings and just left. Times have been tuff, the financial strife has been almost unbearable, tensions have been even higher than normal between the two of us, we just struggle to get by each month. I work part time to be home with the little one, she attends preschool three times per week and I work those days. I am desperate to find more chef work, the only way I can make enough for us to live is to do so and I have no money for advertising etc, my part time job wage is only $9 / hour. I am still in shock from this mornings events. I foolishly kept hoping we would strive to get through this together. I have no one to turn to for financial help. I came upon this site from googling the keyword - " desperate mom seeks". Anyone who can give me information on any support or tips to find help, please contact me.

I was married to a verbally, emotionally, mentally and sexually abusive man.  I am now a single mom of our beautiful 3 year old daughter.  I left the relationship in August 2006.  Our divorce proceedings took 1 year to be finalized.  During that time I was diagnosed with cancer.  I have missed 5 out of the last 14 months of work.  My Short Term Disability did pay some while I was out of work.  Due to the costs for divorce, leaving an abusive marriage, supporting my daughter, lawyer fees, medical costs and lost wages I am now absolutely drowning financially.  I have never felt so alone and scared.  I really need help right now.  I am facing eviction, cannot pay utilities or rent.  I have the ability to turn this around once I am back on my feet.  I don't see any hope right now. 

 

Help please...

Desperately in need of $800-1000 to keep from losing my apartment
I am currently facing eviction.  I have lived in my apartment for the last 24 years.  Recent economic problems caused me to fall behind on my rent, a divorce, and my job downsized, but I am now working full time again and need to catch up on my rent in order to keep my apartment.  I am a single mother.  Please help.  $800-1000 will be more than enough to be able to keep my home.  Documentation can be provided.  Zola

I'm a divorced dad with one 16 year old at home.

I started a trucking company with a partner that let our insurance drop to a 100 mile radius. This means no more runs. I took the last of my money to start my own trucking company. this was a total of $5,400.00 in hopes that I would get my new numbers and up and running with in just a week or so. I did this on Feb. 11th, 2008. I was told I would have my numbers and be back up and running by next week. Do to the recent volume of company start ups I still do not have all my numbers as of March 9th, 2008. I was told on the 11th of March that I should have my last numbers (PUCO) one day next week. How ever I am sitting here with a mountain of debt since my ex wife hasn't paid any child support in over a month and I have not had a check or run as I can not run at this point for over a month.

I need $2,000.00 fast as I have nothing in the bank nor any money in my pocket. Just getting desperate at this point and looking any where to get some cash for bills and food.

If you can help please do as I can repay this loan once I am back up and running. This should take place this coming week. It will take another 3 weeks to get a check in. We pick up and then deliver and then send in the bill of laiding with an invioce. My driver is living on his credit cards right now just can't afford to loose him as well.

Need to get my numbers, then some freight, and then the checks will start rolling back in.

My company did make $54,000.00 in 4 months last year. From Aug. 15th, 2007 through Dec. 31st, 2007. If you need to see my books they are open.

This is not a scam I'm just hungery at this point with a 16 year old son. Please help if you can. If you know of anything that I can do other then just asking please let me know as  Ihave been to pay day advance companies but I am self employed. That simply as  Ihave found out means NO! I also went to my bank and they said NO! I have a middle credit score of only 558 since my divorce 2 years ago.

I am tiered of scams so please don't even go there.

Thank you,

Lonnie
