Well, i'm unemployed student (nobody wants to employ high school degree) and i need extra money for living since my folks are paying rent which is pretty high ... Also, i'd like to take out some girl that i like to a nice dinner, but i can't since i have no money... I hope that u can help me with some of my issues just by donating dollar or two...

My name is Samantha. I am 21 years old. I live in Canada. I really don't know what to write, honestly. I've never 'begged' before...I guess that's why this site is here, so people like me can still retain a little bit of a sense of pride. Anyway. I need some help. I'm trying to get out of an abusive relationship and I want to go back to Australia where I'm originally from. I miss home, I miss my family, and I need to get away because I'm in a pretty raw emotional state at the moment. I've dropped out of school and things just aren't working out. More than anything, I want to be able to take my dog with me. I know it sounds silly but he's the one thing I've held onto throughout all this and thinking of not having him scares me to death. It's already going to cost me around $3500 to move, and will be an extra $1500 - $1700 to bring him with me. Right now I'm still living with my ex. There isn't any food in the house and any money she's known about has always been spent on drugs/cigarettes instead. My pup is out of dog food and I've used up all of mine in an effort to keep him strong and healthy. I live in a place where there aren't any jobs - at least none that I'm qualified for. My lease is up in three weeks, so that's when I can leave. But I'm not sure where I'll go. I'm not looking for much. A dollar, two, three. It doesn't matter. All I'm doing right now is trying.

Long story short. I have been in a bad situation for some years. I have not had parental support..I am only now twenty years old and I am trying to go to college in the fall. I know I can do it if I just had a car. I have tried finding work and it is hard to find some walking distance..I have a valid license but that does nothing without a vehicle. I am temporarily staying around the area with friends but it is not permanent. I know I am about to be homeless and plan to find just.. a cheap car and live out of it (Id rather know that I have something that gets me there and that says Im not stuck sleeping outside at night, I am terrified of being homeless and sleeping outside.. I will not only be attending college, but will be finding work.) I will be moving to a different state with it and living out of it while I attend a college nursing program for two years. I really wholeheartedly appreciate any help I can get. It almost doesnt feel right to ask but... I am running out of options. It is for a good cause and Im trying to use it to become self sufficient. I just want to be self sufficient. I know its possible.. Thank you to all those who help me on my way to car ownership and the chance to do something with my life.

In 1998 I found my mother. I was born in Germany and given up for adoption. Our story hit the newspapers in December 1998 in Idaho. I was elated. In 2005 I left my job and moved to her town, believing there were many job opportunities there. I wanted so badly to be close to her. To make a long story short, she is not the person I dreamed she was and am now living in my van with my dog. I have had to get my SSI early, and do not have enough income to rent a place to live. I am willing to move anywhere for a job, but do not have enough travel money. I thought I didn't know how to be homeless, but it's amazing the steps a mind goes through to get accustomed to a situation. I can supply a resume upon request. Please help me. Thank you in advance

Hello, I'm Eleanor and I am 28 and have had a VERY hard year, i lost both my mum and dad Barbara & Paul Fynn within 4 months of each other. My dad died suddenly of stomach cancer and my mum died of Diabetes. I lost the house then that they rented and I had grown up in for nearly 30 years. I have recently been made redundant in December, just 3 days before christmas and am struggling so much to now pay my bills and rent. I live on my own and am worried that I could, again lose the house i'm living in. I just don't know what else to do. I have no brothers or sisters so have no one to turn to and am worried I am about to become homeless, for the 2nd time in a year. I would greatly appreciate any kind of donation that will help me out. Thank you so much :-)
