Hi my name is Kristen I am 21 years old and I currently live on my own with the exception of my younger sister who I have guardianship of. I have been working two jobs to support her and myself. One business that I worked at has now closed down and I was just laid off of the other. I am doing everything I can to try and find employment as quickly as I can but it is very difficult. If I cannot provide a stable home for my younger sister I will lose guardianship of her and she will have to go into foster care and switch schools. Being able to pay rent and provide her with the necessities she needs is of such importance so she can stay with me and not have to be with strangers. Any help would be so gratefully appreciated. If you choose not to thank you for still taking the time to listen. :)

I believe that everone has some dreams. I constantly trying to achieve my own but I am unable to move forward without your help. I feel embarased to ask for money but I have no other choice. I have an idea for business but no fund to start. I have tried many options mostly loans but no positives ( poor credit score). If you want to hear some more about it you can contact me via email. I believe that even small donation will help me to do step closer to achieve my target. For that reason decided to ask for money. So please donate. Thank you in advance. Best of luck to everyone.

I AM A HARDWORKING SINGLE MOTHER.I HAVE 3 KIDS.ALL MY MONEY GOES TO THE RENT AND TO THEM.THEY ARE MY WORLD.I WALK AROUND WITH HOLES IN MY CLOTHES AND SOCKS AND SHOES BECAUSE I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY MONEY ON THEM INSTEAD OF ME.WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR FOOD LATELY AND A LOT OF TIMES I DON'T EAT BECAUSE I FEED THEM FIRST. PLEASE HELP.ANYTHING IS APPRECIATED.

I'm about to lose my car. It's almost paid off. If I could get enough of what I owe, then I could sell it, by a decent used one and even pay this favour forward. I don't want bad credit on my head either. I've been a having a rough go the past six months working jobs that haven't worked out, but I haven't been able to catch up on this important one despite letting go of my cable and phone and going to the food banks. I'm a nice intelligent, well-meaning young woman. I'm just begging for help. Please help me.

I understand there are lots of people in need, but I am hoping you can take the time to read this short plea for help. With an education, and hard working ethic, I am ashamed to admit that I am suffering from financial hardships. I have made payments to my student loans, maintained myself and others, and kept a zero balance on my credit cards when I was working. I lost my job unexpectedly in 2010, and I have not recovered from it since. I have done contract work, but never enough to keep me above float. I started using my credit cards to live, and minimum wage jobs to pay for my student loans. While my debts got bigger, my job options got smaller. I can't keep up now as I have been unemployed for 5 months, and my savings is empty. I don't qualify for income assistance, or welfare/hardship assistance, or fall into any category where I would qualify for financial assistance. I don't know what to do, where to go, or who can help me. I am asking for your help, suggestions, or financial assistance. I am in desperate need, please help me. Regardless, I thank you for taking the time to read my story.
