need help with bills
BC girl, British Columbia
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.
Unemployed, alone, and scared
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.

Low on funds, Moving
A little about me ... I'm a 26 year old man, I've worked since grade 8. Have always covered my own expenses through work and saving money for the things I need and want. I'm a very proud person, and have avoided asking my parents for money since I picked up my first job in grade 8.
Why am I begging? Well, I've been off work due to having surgery on my wrist and elbow. My bank account is ridiculously low. I have no money coming in. I am weeks away from being released to return to work. AND, my roommate has decided to give our apartment up, and it's in her name, which means I need to come up with money to find a place to live.
I don't expect you to give me money, I am merely asking those who may have some extra to consider it. I do not feel entitled to your money, but you would certainly make me incredibly grateful and indebted!
