I am a single dad raising my 14 year old daughter.  I am working only part-time because the company I worked for for the last 10 years downsized and left me unemployed.  In addition, I am a full-time student majoring in Computer Science, Information Technology and Web Development.  I am asking if someone could help me with my school funds so I can continue my education and raise my child in a good school.

It is very hard and I am doing my best that I can possibly do.  However, my daughter goes to private school because I don't like the way the educational system is in Philadelphia.  I am trying to raise money for my next year, so that I can receive my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.  Currently, I have maintained a 3.7 gpa and have made Dean's List 4 semesters straight.  I will pay back the money with interest after graduation. 

I am being very honest and wish everyone the best in their future endeavors and for helping me out with anything they can donate to my cause.

Thank you just for reading my story.

I am in my early 50's and used to make 6 figures, but bad investments have put my few properties into foreclosure.  My business should make money, but hasn't - it's credit is excellent, though.  I need to either invest in my buisiness or get back into a high-tech field that was so good to me in my earlier days, but I have huge debts (mostly mortgages), lots of IRS $$ due.  I wish I could sell my real estate or get an investment of about $100K against 1/4 acre of industrial urban vacant land (it has no mortgage on it) so I can either (a) revamp my business or (b) refresh my career skills - depending on how my capital I have. 

My husband and I have been looking for work for over 6 months now. I prepared taxes during the tax season and was given a bonus at the end of the season that kept us alive for another month or two. But we have tapped out all our credit cards and borrowed as much from family and friends as we can. We have also sold a bunch of our stuff on ebay. 

Please understand, we have not just looked for work; we've also looked for ways to make money via side businesses. We are determined to make a sustainable living, but we have encountered some roadblocks on the way. Within a two year period, we were robbed of most of our belongings and we had a business deal go sour that left us homeless for a short period of time and cost us a lot of time and money in legal struggles.

I've made a small amount of money in the past year editing books, articles and papers. I find that I especially like book editing and have a small website up right now that has attracted some clients and potential clients.  I've not done any marketing to date, other than establishing a relationship with one self-publishing company and putting up a website on another editing service. Today, I just discovered a place where I can advertise my services for free to over a million people a month worldwide. I only need to win a few clients in order to make ends meet. I wish I had discovered this website six months ago because I could have been promoting my side business and making money by now. But I believe things happen in their own time.

Here is my dilemma. I think that a couple of months of setting up a better website, setting up a storefront on the above mentioned website and promoting my services both locally and in cyberspace will lead to enough work to make ends meet and dig us out of the hole. If I can make a living at this, I believe my husband's business will be able to grow and we will have a good long-term outlook.

But the short-term is grim. We have about $100 left and we are now behind on bills. In nine days we will need to have about $900 to cover bills, including rent, but not including food or gasoline. Fifteen days after that we will need another $700 plus food & gasoline. We really need about $1900 a month in order to meet our obligations, which for two people isn't a lot. We will need more than that eventually to dig ourselves out of the hole, but right now I'm just concerned to survive until something gives.

I'm looking for help in the short-short term -- help to make it through August's rent. Appoximately $2000-$3000.

There are several ways that could happen:

1. We've been trying to sell our 1993 van, but with little success. We've advertised in local paper and auto trader and free classifieds.  With a couple of repairs, we actually could auction it locally. That would mean an investment that we do not have plus, according to the auctions website, up to 8 weeks before the auction would yeild payment. The auction house sets a reserve. If someone could lend me the amount of the reserve less the auction fees, I would pay that back when the van sells. Of course, if some other windfall occurred, I would be happy to pay back sooner. 
   
2. If you like to buy the van, we can talk about that as well. I live in Nevada and am willing to drive the van to California, Arizona or Utah to deliver it to someone. Otherwise, we could discuss shipping.
   
3. Maybe someone out there has a book, a manual, a dissertation, or some other editing project(s) that I could complete over the summer. I'd be willing to discount my prices considerably in order to have short-term money.
   
4. I have considerable experience as a bookkeeper, especially setting up books on computer or setting up new business books. If you have such a project, I'd be happy to talk with you about rates.
   
5. Maybe someone would like to talk to me about investing in my business. I plan to specialize in helping businesses or entrepreneurs self-publish a book or books to enhance their reputations and market shares. I'd be happy to share my business plan with anyone who'd consider microinvesting in my business.

I am open to any ideas on what to do. My husband and I have survived some bad blows in the last couple of  years as a result of setting some boundaries with family and business relationships. We are going to make it. I believe in us, but I also believe in the power of community and I was happy to find this site.

In addition to paying back a loan or providing the best service I know how to someone who might help, I also pledge to "pay it forward." I am strong believer in the power of human interaction and human networking. I won't drop the ball.

Thank you for your time and your consideration.

I am needing some help, have been on the phone for three days trying to get money owed for work done. Some are avoiding me, others say they just don't have it right now and my rent is past due. Unfortunately, there are many good people posting as well, I understand the pure terror and panic in not knowing which bill to pay and where to get the money. For anybody who can help me with two months rent, next months is due.  It has been a frustrating  experience knowing that we gave and helped when we could and now we are on the needing end, with no bright outlook.  We do have a lot to be grateful for and have grown immensley in learning from this situation.  But we really could use a good samaritan right now. 

I am a travel agent and work with commissions so if you know anyone who is planning a trip have them e-mail me this will help greatly as well, if they book their trips through me. Thank you  

Hi,

I'm a 26 year old student. Who have reached at the final stages of my educational career. But I can't afford it. If I don't pay, I won't get my degree. If I don't get a degree, I won't get a job. My current situation disallow me from working, due to the fact I'm an international student in the U.S. I can't take student loans, they all need cosigners. I can't ask strange people to co-sign a $40,000 loan. But I can ask a lot of people to help me financially with some of the money, with each person contributing a small part of the total.

I am willing to draft a contract that will give you back upto 40% on top of what you loan me once I graduate and get a job. If the sum will be too much to give out at once, I'll give it out in installments. I'm capable of mailing Bank checks or money orders. You'll have my direct mailing address, and direct contact information. I'll even give you a copy of my driver's license (without the license#) as an address verification, or a voided check. So this way you can be sure there is a way to find me, incase I don't satisfy my side of the contract.

The percentage is a good return, not even your savings account can give you this much in return for your investments. This amount might be much more than what I might end up paying for a loan, but beggars can't be choosers and with every person contributing a small amount, a small percentage is but mere change to the contributor, which is in itself not much of an incentive to contribute.

Thank you for your time to read this.

P.S.Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make you feel safe about this transaction.

(Reasons for not including my real name for now is to protect my anonymity from floods of emails that would accuse me of being fraudulent.) Soon, i'll post a website, with my real name, and email and i'll try my best to reply to all emails.

I am an unemployed 47 year old woman who's company moved out of state in Dec. My unemployment ran out 2 weeks ago and I am rapidly sinking in my pool of debt. I did have an interview last Fri. but won't hear anything till July 16th or so. There's not much work in this area of Vt. I made my first visit to a food shelf  the other day, and made a mental note that as soon as I get back on my feet, to make monthly donations to them (instead of just the food drive times). I've been married to the same wonderful man for 30 years and have raised 3 great kids. Thank God for my husbands disability check! It is only 100.00 more than my rent, but it's is better than nothing.

I found a house in need of repairs (we could live there while repairing), If I could find just 40,000.00 We could actually live on my husbands money, pay back that 40,000.00 in 10 years with a 8,000.00 profit and be able to pull ourselves up. This would all be without getting a job, which I intend on getting one, so all would be excellerated. I would still give the person the 8,000.00 profit just for taking a chance on me with their investment. Our credit is screwed, but my husbands check is gaurenteed monthly by the U.S. government. If anyone is able and interested give me a shout and we can talk the details. We would want it all done legally to protect both you and us.

 I am 25 years old, live in the Atlanta area and I am a small business owner. Unfortunately business isn't going so well. I started my janitorial service in hopes of creating a better life for myself. However marketing, promoting, and purchasing equipment for the business has left me with limited funds and a failing business. I recently came upon the opportunity to make my business more profitable by becoming a member of a well known cleaning service franchise. The only problem is, I do not have the funds that i would have to pay to join. After the fee is paid, I would then be given contracts to perform janitorial services. Some of these accounts could be several thousand dollars. With the help of a small investment, this young entrepreneur will be able to finally reach the goals he has set out to achieve. Thank You 

I am Not here to Beg. I feel for those who Believe they have to do that.

I am a single mother of 2 that has all assets tied up in a divorce settlement. I made all my money prior to our marriage, I caught him in our bed with another woman and now he wants it all.  I am living with a friend until I can get all of my money and home back. It is Christmas and I cannot even buy presents. I have just moved to Houston to stay with a friend who is helping, but I have always supported 10 families in Kentucky at Christmas time to help them out with thier presents. This year I cannot do so because all money is frozen. I am in need of a $5000 loan just until the 15th of February when the courts release my assets. I will be glad to reward anyone who can help me out with a payback of $25,000. It will be a good return on investment and you would be making Christmas come true for not only my children but 10 other families. I will even sign a notorized contract to guarantee payment as I have about $3.3 million coming. I am not looking for a handout, just a little help to get everyone through Christmas.

Hello.  I am a father of 1, and hope to adopt 3 others once I marry my Girlfriend of 2 years very soon.  I am a Graphic Designer and I also advise small businesses in Lean Six Sigma.  I freelance in graphic design and usually do work for independent record labels.  I have stumbled upon a great opportunity and career change, but the company I want to work for needs my help. 

I have incredible training in Lean Six Sigma (recently employed by Delta Air Lines) and I was invited to join a new entertainment company that started in Atlanta.  This company was funded by an NFL player, not a major money making player, but under a well paid contract.  As the story plays out, he was injured in training camp on the 2007-2008 season and ended up getting cut.  This was the man who would fund the company to get it started.  Needless to say, we are out of funding.

We have been invited by an investment group to accept a $25million investment with a return which I cannot disclose on a public forum.  In order for us to meet their requirements, we have to put up $2.5million as a 10% investment of our own.  This is not a joint venture.  They need to see the seriousness of our company before they will make any investment.

As the letter of intent from their side states, they only need to see a bank statement proving we have $2.5million to meet the requirements for now.  This is the first step.  

The company I work for is offering any party who can meet their needs, $500,000 and a return of all funds, $2.5million + $500,000 back in their account within 1 week of meeting the investment terms.  

****No money is needed right now.  The first step is meeting the investment companies requirements and showing proof of funds****

Everything is documented.  I have the letter of intent for investment, and I can show the companies intricant Business Plan upon request.  (You will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to see the Business Plan)

This is a chance for me to live out a dream.  I have always wanted to work in Entertainment.  This money will help us to obtain a huge investment so that our company will have enough money to employee all needed people, and afford all costs.   

Thank you for your time.

Regards, 

Lucas
