The Person:
I'm not really sure what to put here. I guess, well, I should start by saying I'm a young 22 year old. I grew up with next to nothing, but I had a wonderful mother who loved her children enough to raise them right. I'm thankful for all of the things God has given me in life and I always hope for the best in situations. I'm loyal, caring, and honest. I'm not really a typical 22 year old. Most of my life is spent working, trying to pay the bills, and worrying about my hubby who is in the army. If I ever get any free time, I like to spend it reading a book or playing a video game. I also enjoy anime and roleplaying games. My second job is working for the local video game store. It would be my dream job, if only it paid more than minimum wage! I guess you could say I was pretty nerdy! But I'm proud of who I am. A lot of people tell me I don't look like the type that would be into all of those things, but I assure you, I'm a legitimate dork.
I look forward to meeting others who have similar interest. I do not judge, as I do not like to be judged. I accept everyone. I hope others will accept me.

The Problem:
As far as my situation, as I've stated before I've been having a rough time keeping up with the bills due to my man being gone. I've got a 14,000 dollar loan which needs to be paid back and money has just been really tight since he left. I'm not asking for someone to pay the loan for me, but I am asking for a little help....Donations in any amount. I realize that's a lot to ask since it isn't easy to trust people, especially people online, these days. I figured I would try anyway and hope that there are people out there generous and caring enough to help, as I would do for someone in need. If you can help me, feel free to message me (or even if you would just like to talk and be friends!).

I've got a donation bin set up on paypal at the moment, and my email address is a confirmed one for anyone thinking I'm trying to scam someone out of money. I'm not. If you'd like to make a donation, my e-mail on paypal is ami_nugent@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help or with advice!

For Others:
For those seeking money themselves. I haven't had much luck with this, but there is a website that will pay you .02 to just read advertisements online. This can be a lengthy and tedious project (one I don't particularly have time for, since I work), but it may help someone who's looking to make a little extra pocket change or something. Like I said, I haven't had luck... but for anyone who is maybe paralyzed or has the free time, it could help slightly.

For those who need help with prescriptions. There is a wonderful site that offers 3-month supplies of (mostly generic) common presciptions for costs as low as 20 dollars, up to $40. It does ask that you meet the criteria for the program (information about that is on the website). This has been great for my "controlled substance" medications in the past. No tax forms are required and the application is very simple and straight-forward.

Looking for free stuff?? Try craigslist in your state. You can find lots of helpful stuff here. From free items, to trade/barter, and employment. It's a very useful tool.

Though I am unable to give out money currently, I would love to help others in any way I can. If you need someone to talk to, advice, a friend. I'd love to donate clothing and other items to families in need. I've done the "Goodwill" thing before, but I always had an issue with donating my stuff to a company which profits from it! I would rather know that my items are going to someone who truly needs it, who doesn't have to pay. Not that Goodwill is a bad thing, I would just rather help an individual rather than a corperation.

Hi,

My name is Ashley, i'm 20 years old, I live with my mom and my younger sister who is 18. We desperately need help. I almost feel ashamed for even being on this site and asking, and I feel bad because that there are so many others out there that have worse situations.

My family has never had much money, but until I was 15 we survived. When I was 15 my dad died, and we were left to fend for ourselves. I started working eight days after the law said it was legal...eight days after I turned 14. After my dad died I worked as much as possible. My sister started work young as well. My mom hopped from job to job trying to find the best one for us. The past couple of years she has been sick on and off due to her many health problems. Recently, the past two months, she has been completely off work due to kidney stones putting her in and out of the hospital and endless surgeries (which we have no insurance for, and we are currently at around $30,000 bills). I work in retail and make hardly anything. My sister does as well, and she is still in high school. I am in school as well at a community college.

We are about to lose our house. My sister gets Social Security from when my dad died, until just today we found out they wanted to cut it off. Social Security is -the- only thing keeping us afloat right now.

We need help bad, and right away. The local churches won't help us. We've tried looking so many places. I just don't know what to do.

If anyone can think of anything or can do anything, our appreciation would not be measureable....

Thank you everyone for taking the time to read this. Thank you so much....

Ashley

I am a 40+yo female mother of 2 who has decided to start a consignment shop. Unfortunately, my funds are very limited and need to find some assistance to make my dreams come true. I have a background in business and have worked very hard to support my daughters and I over the past years. I feel that it is now time to take that chance and go for my dreams.
