Need a dentist, Norway



I want to be able enjoy food again. Are in great need of a visit to the dentist due to some broken tooth making it a pain to chew food. This is really reducing my quality of life. Have no idea how much it will cost me, but do not have much over after the regular bills are paid. Every single dollar you could help me with much appreciated.

Struggling with bills & debts

Dlink, UK



My fiance lost her job due to company cut backs, she has been struggling to find work since. It isn't easy for her as English is not her first language, and like me lacks any specific skills in the workplace. We had hoped to visit her parents in Europe this year, but our savings are gone and rent, council tax and energy bills are set to rise even further. She hasn't seen her parents in 3 years :( My girlfriend is incredibly sweet, caring and cheerful always, but I know that deep inside she misses them dearly... I am working long night shifts on near minimum wage and doing much overtime to cover all of our bills and living expenses, but since she lost her job it has be a growing struggle to cover the costs :( Each month the interest outweighs the amount we can pay back, we have been trying our best... Please help us pay off our £2000 debt :'(

Just need things to be easier

Kelly, England



Hi everyone My eyes are already welling up as I type this.This is in no way easier for me as I am a proud woman.I have never had to ask for money at all..I wouldn't even dream of asking my parents! (Not that they have any money anyway) I thought I would try here as I am starting to get desperate..even comtemplating being an escort amongst other things to make money..Even starting gambling online for the first time. I am a single mum who is 34 from England I have one beautiful daughter is 5 years old.I have recently moved to a new area to try and make a better life for my daughter and myself.I started part time employment last week which barely seems worth it as it just about covers my petrol money.(I need a car where I live) I didn't work for 5 years as I was busy bringing up my daughter who sustained a brain injury at birth and is disabled though during this time had studied at college. I have worked hard since I was 16 before my daughter was born holding 2 jobs at the same time.I come from a very poor background and so appreciate the value of money and knew how to use it.Up until now I have been good with what little money I have. I have recently split from a relationship where I was emotionally abused and have now got myself into £6000 debt.I am now struggling to pay my rent and it's starting to worry me.I am a strong person and know deep down me and my daughter will be ok as long as I can just pay the rent each month.The government have stopped my daughters disability allowance as of the recent clampdown on benefit cheats but sadly the genuine get affected because of this.They have also stopped my carers allowance. Though I am having to sacirfice things we really do need,like clothes and shoes for my daughter..Half decent food to eat..I would just need a some financial support to make it easier otherwise I will have to enquire about going into a womans shelter and start all over again I want to avoid that as me and my daughter deserve better than that. Thank you for your time in reading my story,Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Kelly

Unable to work full time about to lose everything

Brandon, Ohio



I am in danger of losing my home due to being behind on property taxes just under $3000. My kids need food clothes shoes and coats for the winter months plus my WATER was cut last week $278 past due because I am unable to hold a job long enough to stay current due to the fact I am unable to find work I can do. My right arm is not fully functional and I suffer from SARCOIDOSIS which affects my breathing, 3 slipped disks in my lower back pinching nerves making it hard to stand and walk for extended peroids of time and my bum right knee doesn't help matters. I have been applying for SSI for the past few years with no luckNot a potetial hire to most employers. Also my GAS was cut off a few days later $3,800 and I'm praying the ELECTRIC COMPANY doesn't come this week because my past due balance with them is just over $1600. On top of that my college loans are due as well just over $17,000. I welcome any help and thank you in advance.
