I am having a difficult time financially. Everytime I end one problem another appears. It is as though I am in quick sand and there is no way out. I am usually the person who is always helping out friends and strangers but now I am sinking and it seems hopeless. I know the scriptures say ask, seek, and knock. I am asking, seeking, and knocking for any solutions. I am behind in paying my house note. I have student loans due now and in addition I owe the IRS. The job that I have does not cover all expenses. I have always managed to pay most of my bills as they come in but due to added medical and dental expenses it is almost impossible and I am getting further and further behind. I am the mother of two children and one child suffers with asthma. I know there is someone who has a solution. May God Bless Each One of Us. My situation is getting worse. I pray there is someone out there to offer solutions.
We are in desperate need of financial help to save our new home. I am able to refinance, only if I can raise a $12,000 gift to pay off all my existing debt to lower our debt ratio to 38%. My current mortgage is $2900 a month and the new one will be $1750.
My partner and I have been together for nearly 7 years. Tom is a 100% service connected total and permanently disabled decorated veteran with recurring cancer and other associated illnesses which constitutes him unemployable. I was a healthy and employed executive whom in 2003 broke my neck and become permanently disabled and unemployable immediately losing my six digit salary we so depended on.
Recently after 4 years of hard work recovering financially, we were taken to the cleaners by a broker on a new home mortgage and can not even afford to make the first payment without refinancing immediately. We were made many promises, low interest, low PMI, 100% financing… too good to be true. Exactly! But we did put our trust in our broker with his promises of don’t worry, we will make it happen (never again). Finally, still without final numbers it came to the day and time to sign for our new home. We came to the closing table, moved out of our rental home (which was already rented) and half into our newly purchased home. Well to our surprise all was not as it had been promised for the prior 2 months which was a payment of less than $2000 a month. Instead, our interest was 8.6% with a PMI monthly payment of $537 for a total mortgage of $2900 a month.
You are our last hope, as my partner and I are on limited income (which is more than enough to suffice if the new loan is approved) from total and permanent disability with no hope of working to resolve this situation. At the end of this month we will be homeless with 3 dogs and 2 cats of which we rescued all 5.
So if you can find it in your hearts to contribute to us and our pet family, we can move forward to a Community Program called ACORN to accomplish our goal. Otherwise… the seven of us will become homeless very soon, probably by month’s end.
I have never been the type to ask for the help of others, as I have worked really hard since I was a teen. I recently had to leave my last job and for the last month haven't been able to makes ends meet. I have completely cut out anything that I don't absolutely need and I am STILL struggling. My rent was due by the 6th of August and if it isn't paid by the 21st, I will be EVICTED! I have always paid rent on time and can't imagine what I would do without a place to live. I have busted my behind sending out my resume and attending interviews on a regular basis; at 24 people tell me I'm OVER-qualified for most of the jobs I apply to.
I am looking for up to 5 people to lend about $150-$200 by the 21st of August, so I can pay rent. I pledge to pay these people back the 21st of September, as I expect to have gotten a job and a couple of paychecks under my belt. I do have some promising leads right now, but those won't pay the rent by next week! Thank you in advance for your kindness, I know this is short notice! I will keep you posted on the job search and successes!
