Hey folks, my name is Geri, and guess what, I am fat, I let myself go, and now it has gone too far.  I am not lazy, I am just worried about not being there for my boys.  I own my home, but, my credit is icky.  I am looking for a few good souls to help me in my quest for lap band surgery. http://myroadtobariatricsurgery.blogspot.com/

I am planning on going to Mexico http://www.obesitycontrolcenter.com/index.html  to have this done,  it is not a fly by night operation.  Please help me save my life.  I am not going to sugar coat it.  I need $10000.00, soon.  I am so scared of dying.  Guess, I should have thought about that sooner, but, now, I am ready to do something about it.. I am taking the least expensive way to do this. 

I will definitly Pay it Forward, as I can.  I believe in that.. I will also thithe 10% of what I get to my church.

http://www.beebefirstassembly.com/ME2/Audiences/Default.asp.  What more can I say, I am desperate.  Thank God for you.  You will be blessed..Thank you for anything you can do to help.. Geri

I need help! I am busy trying to earn an advanced degree with no help from loans or grants. Hubby has depression problems and is unable to work. One child is still at home. I'm exhausted after caring for everyone and trying to keep it all going. I need cash to pay bills and put food on the table. In return, I will do any kind of writing for you. I can do it all, from poetry to academic papers to speeches and occasional pieces. You will like what you read! Thanks to all; I will answer any and all messages.

I am simply one mommy in the world that wants herself and her family to make a difference for others through sharing Christ.  We have been so blessed to have a home, clothes, & food.  So many people are  not as fortunate.  I think that it is important that we help each other when we can and pass it on to someone else.

I now work from home and my husband will be able to quit his job and work with me sometime next year.  I am so thankful for that, as he is a welder and it really bothers his asthma.  I have also been able to show my mom and others how to do the same thing so that they can earn a very comfortable living from their home with only a computer & a phone.  My team is one of the fastest growing in the company and we are changing peoples lives.

This is a plea for some good souls eyes.

I have hit a streak of bad times. It is a long story short but I have been rich and poor and rich and poor again. This is where the problems for my teeth began again. You see when I had money I had extensive dental work done on my teeth. About $10.000 worth of porciline veneers and bridges. Then about six months later I was diognosed with Sarcoidosis and sjogrins desease's. They both have an effect on ones dental health. I have done eveything I can think of I have sold most everything I can just to keep going. I cannot work because of my illness. I am waiting to hear from SS disibility. Therfore I am on government assistance. However the insurance plan they assigned me to because I'm conssiderd cronic. Does not only pay for anything remotly close to cosmetic denistry. They say pull them and get false teeth. This just breaks my heart. And spirit. You see I have to have this medication called Remicade and it is given like a chemo drug at the hospital and I have to be infussed for two hours. That said.. This procedure cannot begin with an ongoing dental infection which is what I have. Antibiotics clears it up for a couple of weeks and then it's right back. I need to have a four tooth bridge reset on the top. And two crowns on the bottom to afix a partal to. I might actually have to replace the top four tooth bridge with a partal as well. That would be cheaper. I just cannot stomach the thought of having false teeth all over.

You see when I was doing well in life I gave back you know paid it forward  And I gave with all of my heart. So I decided to see if there is anybody out there that would be willing to pay it forward for me this time.

Gee how I really need some help right now.

Sincerely,

Sonny

First off I would like to thank you for looking at this =) I'd like to tell you a little bit about me and why I am asking for help. Im a 26 year old female with a great outlook on life but have stumbled upon a very rough time in my life. I recently have had major foot surgery which has left me unable to work, I work in a hospital which requires me to be on my feet for 8 hours a day and have been unable to return to work because of this surgery. I have exhausted my savings and my vacation time trying to make ends meet. With medical bills, house payments, car payment so on and so forth building up without money coming in I am struggling just trying to keep my head above water. This is where I ask a kind soul if they would pay it forward do you have a dollar you could spare? I never in a million years thought that I would have to resort to begging for help, I have always been a very independent person. And for the first time I am scared! I am an honest and hard working person and if anyone does respond to this and help me out I will one day return that dollar when I am back on my feet. So Im looking for an Angel to help me and guide me through this unstable time in my life. I will send proof if you are questioning this in any way, and I do believe in my heart there are good people in the world that believe if you pay it forward it will come back to you. Well with that all said I hope there is someone out there who could extend a heart and hand.

Thank You for taking the time to read this

Sincerely
Danielle

I find myself out of work and low on funds this year and would appreciate any toy donations for my 4 and 8 year old girls.

I sincerely believe in the power of prayer.  Always have and always will.  I have rarely asked for anything like this, but since we're all here to help each other, I would like to ask those who are inclined to add me to their prayers, me and my family, so that our needs will be met and our prayers answered, for a secure home and the answers to the problems we face.  I will add you to my list as well, all of you here, and hope that your prayers will be answered as well.  I have often reminded myself that the words to the old Garth Brooks tune "Unanswered Prayers" sometimes holds true, some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. 

In my case, the things I pray for are my health and the health of my children and extended family.  I am facing some very difficult financial times right now and I am scared.  I admit that I am scared and ask for the guidance of those who have been there and made it through.  I am a full time college student, divorced mom of 4 kids and a newly disabled person, struggling to make it on child support and limited assistance.  I was turned down by SSI as "not disabled enough".  I have met people less disabled than I who are on the program.  I'm in a wheelchair and despite all my efforts this year my health has declined and my job prospects dwindled to the point where I cannot even get a job as a babysitter, and I have 30 years experience and excellent references!  I have experience with disabled children as well as my kids have disabilities too.  I would love the SSI people who decided I am not disabled enough to find me a job I can do!!  They said they could not do that, it was not a service they perform.  Ok, why not? 

I keep saying if I ever won the lottery I would make life so much easier for those who have helped me in life and those who I could help in some way.  My parents and I have always teased about how we'd help so many people there would barely be enough left to dig us all out of our own problems. Trouble is, you need money to play and I cannot spare the buck to play!  Oh well, keeps me from wasting money, right?  Does anyone have any suggestions for budget cutters?  I get help from the food bank, we do not waste money on bingo, renting movies, gambling, smoking, drinking, fast food, soda pop, expensive clothes or anything wasteful.  I shop at the salvation army store, the kids love it, they know mom can buy a whole lot more than I could at walmart.  I cook large meals but use them for several feedings, lunches the next day or dinners I can store in the freezer and rewarm quickly.  I shop the dollar stores for household needs, buy in bulk when I can, I even cut all our hair myself.  I haven't worn makeup in years!  I look for bargains everywhere all the time.  I am going to school full time via computer, which saves on transportation costs and clothing, meals and so on.  Am I missing anything anywhere?  Yes we carpool and plan outings, since I cannot drive we have to ask for rides everywhere. 

Can anyone think of anything?  I have seen some sites where people can beg for financial help, and that's ok, I don't begrudge anyone who does, Lord knows I've considered it at points in my life.  That would be a miracle if anything like that ever happened to me, but any help I got would have to be in the form of pay-it-forward, because that is the way I was raised.  I would prefer to ask for prayers, they're much easier for people to find it in their hearts to give.  Please drop me a line and make a suggestion if you think of something I'm not doing.  And I will include everyone here in my prayers, and hope you will think of me and my kids during yours.  Thank you and God bless! 

If you prefer not to recieve Reiki and you are willing to just make a donation, paypal is the safest way to make your donation.

Please email for paypal requirements and your information will remain private.

 

    I am a single mother stuck in a very difficult position that I never imagined me and my son would end up in. We were abandoned by his father who left us with no money. I have tried to catch up on the rent but I now have to admit that I am overwhelmed. I have paid my electric bill until next month went it is due again, but Novembers rent is not paid along with all the late fees that have added up. I have not bought groceries in  over a month and if it was not for the generosity of my neighbors we would be hungry. I only need help to pay past due rent and that for December, as well as my electric bill. I am searching for a job but anything i get will never be able to pay the past due expenses and keep up. I eventually want to be in a position to pay it forward and help someone else in the future, maybe even more than one person.

I have started a website that sells handcrafted items, especially journals and mixes in a jar.A percentage of the profits go toward the pay it forward grants that I offer.  I also take donations for pay it forward, but I can only give out grants that equal the amount that is in the grants account.  If I only have $50.00 I can only give $50.00.  Grants do not exceed $500.00, so if I have $2000,000 dollars in the grant account then I will award 4 grants for that month.

I am asking for donations for the pay it forward grants and or the purchase of products to aid in the pay it forward account.  Thank you and if you have any questions just email me or visit the web-site listed here.

I am a breast cancer survivor for 4 years now.  I survived the worst, I just knew it.  Until I lost my job in May 2006.  We live in a rural part of Texas and help is few and far between.  I have always helped others and strongly believe in paying it forward.  Where are all the "payers paying it forward" when I need the help? 

My husband works a decent job paying $9/hour but there are 6 of us at home; hubby, me and 4 children.  I am on unemployment, $130/week.  My ex-husband was fired from his job about 2 months ago and I no longer receive child support.  With my husbands income and my unemployment we don't even qualify for food stamps.  Imagine that!

House payment, electricity, water, phone, house insurance, car insurance, propane for heat, gas, food and house hold necessities are all adding up.  I feel like I am drowning. 

Then about 3 weeks ago the engine went out in my car.  Thankfully my husband's 1990 Mercury is still running.

We can't make it month to month...let alone provide gifts for our children this Christmas.  What are we going to do for gifts, food and our bills?  We need a miracle...and fast.

I'm a self-employed single parent.  I lost my major client last December when they  were taken over by another company.  This client provided me a building from which to run my business.  So, not only did I lose the income, but now, without a building, I am losing several other clients as well.  Some of them have been with me for a decade or more.  I know that their decision to use another company/facility is not personal nor is it a reflection of the work that I've done for them.  If I had a facility, they'd still be working with me.  My dilemma is that I am out of money.  Since December, I'm sure that I've applied for a hundred jobs.  I've searched the internet and applied for all kinds of work in all parts of the country.  I have also started a new web-based business (finally have the time to followup on the idea).  It hasn't generated any business yet.  I've posted ads on Craigslist to sell some of the stuff I own. 

I have a college education, some grad school ($100,000+ in student loan debt).  I am creative, resourceful, professional and articulate though none of this seems to be serving me well right now. I am into positive thinking and the law of attraction and, as such, I am very grateful for the success I've had the past 16 years.  I know that this to shall pass and I know that this chapter has closed to make room for something even better.

All of that said, I've used all of my savings - had to pay the IRS several thousand last November just before losing my client contract - so my savings were limited to start.  I have paid my mortgage this month but that's all.  I haven't been able to pay any other bills -not heat (oil), electricity, childcare, health insurance or consumer credit.

I need financial help right now.   I am willing to work, if you have a job that I can do.  Since I'm in NC, I'd also be willing to work as a Virtual Assistant or anything else that I can do from here.  I am skilled with marketing, PR, hospitality and party planning.  I enjoy writing, reading, managing logistics and facilitating groups.  If you are an investor, I'd love to explore the option of leasing or buying a building.  If you can spare any money, I'd appreciate help paying the bills this month.  I am willing to accept a loan.  If you prefer to give "free money", then I promise to pay it forward.

Hi everyone,

I want to thank you for you taking time to read my story.  I will try to keep it short.  My downward spiral begin about two years ago, up until the summer of 2006 I cared for my sick and elderly mother who expired a painful death.  It was heart-wrenching to watch it happen.  I had been physically lifting her up and down for almost a year and a half and I also had job as a health care provider taking care of a bed-ridden client who I also had to physically pick up and down.  Needless to say that I have blown my back and I suffer daily now and had to stop that type of work because I myself was having to be cared for, for about four months I was unable to do any standing or sitting, just doing my daily hygiene became a chore and was exteremly depressing.  So for the last seven months I had to rely on the kindess of my nephew, who resently lost his job due to being down sized.  I've applied for disability and been told that I can't receive help until a year has passed---what's up with that??  As of today March 03,2008  I am on the verge of losing everthing that I have worked for over the past 20 years.  I have always been there to help others and it now its my turn to be help and it seems that no-one cares.  I have over the years made personel contributions to many different causes and to family and friends.  So I am pleading with the dear readers for some assistance.  Money to be exact, around $5000. would help a great deal and I vow that I will continue to pay it forward.  Thank you for your hearing ear.  May God bless you and your family for your kindness.
