Debt Crisis due to Health Crisis

Tom, UK



Three years ago i was diagnosed as Bipolar and OCD on top of a immune system deficiency after a dramatic and life changing mental breakdown costing me my job, livelihood and security. For people who understand Bipolar and its affects i hope you can appreciate how badly this can affect people.I have always helped others where i have been able to but this time i have fallen on hard times due to no fault of my own. My family are currently unable to help me and i have fought to stay afloat for the last two years. I am currently struggling greatly financially due to paying high interest levels on debt accured. The debt accrued has been so by simply providing myself food and paying my bills and mortgage and not because of careless spending. I am a proud person but am finding it increasingly difficult to chip away at the £3000 i owe and have been having hell trying to meet the interest payments each month. As a result of this debt i am having to sacrifice food to meet these payments which is further damaging my well being. If anyone out there feels they could donate i would be forever grateful, i have worked so hard to get back on top of things and this is truly standing in my way or recovering. I am hopeful that i will be classified as fit enough to go back to work next year i just hope i am able to make it till then xxx

DEAR READER, Would you find it in your heart to help out a newly married couple who is in a financial dilemma...We just got married a year ago. Shortly after we spent our last dollars left over from the wedding moving into an apartment which we thought was good at the time. not even a month into getting situated things fell apart. You could hear kids running adults stomping back and forth through the floors. We have lost so much sleep over this. After continuously going up to there door asking them for some consideration it fell on deaf ears. My wife and I started wearing ear plugs(which the stomping could still be heard through).. Which caused her to have and ear infection and a sizable doctors bill to hit us at the wrong time. .Things still continued to fall apart with the apartment such as being in the basement its infested with crickets and mold. We had a flood... Tons of water which ruined our wood furniture and clothes. We are just asking if you could open up your heart and donate a couple dollars to help two innocent people move into a new apartment and finally have a piece of mind to start build there lives together.

Please help me and my family

Thank you so much for reading this. I would really appreciate if you could help me out here. I have two kids, one going to three and the other just over a year. A baby girl will be born in the middle of this year. Right now we are staying together with my father and another relative. We've been doing that for the past three years. But it's really tough for my wife to cope, having to look after the kids and also having to handle the relationships with the in-laws as well as a large extended family. It does not help that my wife, the kids and I all share one room. I love my wife and it really pains me to see her struggling to cope with all these. And I think she is going into a really deep depression. We really wish to move out but we are stuck because I do not have enough money to pay the rent if we do so. We are barely making ends meet every month. We really need the money for renting some place. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I will really be grateful if some kind soul out there could lend a hand. Thank you thank you thank you. Yours sincerely, wintercoal

Youth Worker needs urgent assistance

Youth Worker needs urgent assi, RSA



I am 42 years old and have been involved in the youth ministry for about 24 years now. I was working for the government for 18 years and due to a bad injury at work and corruption within the work place I was forced to resign my job. My medical bills and other unforeseen expenses due to that has put me into debt, which I have never had before. I have started my own business but it will be some time before I break through. My debt is just more than R170 000 (about $20 000) and my expenses are far greater than my income at the moment. This means I am unable to reduce my debt. I am desperately trying to get out of this debt situation as soon as possible as it is costing me a lot of money with interest and charges at the bank. I am working hard at my business but it takes time to grow it big enough to support me fully. I have very little money to live from and am in the process of having to sell all my furniture and stuff to live. My passion is working with young people and I want to open a youth centre to continue my work and ministry with the youth in South Africa. I am currently involved with voluntary work with some youth organizations and would like to do more than I am now. I have been offered to get involved with an organization that works with youth to uplift communities. They cannot pay me a salary and I need to clear my debt before I can get involved with them. This would enable me to really make a difference with the youth and ultimately the future of their adult lives. I am asking for your help so I can clear this debt and also have some sort of monthly support so as to be able to live my dream of helping others, especially the youth (who are the future of this beautiful country). I appreciate any donations and support you can give, and sincerely thank you in advance and pray that you will be blessed through this as well.
