I am in desperate need of help with my rent. I was up to date and doing well until I did what I've always done and transferred money to my now ex's (and father to my child) account for him to pay our bills. A Day after I thought he had paid our bills, I came home to find his stuff gone. I then heard from my landlord to say that the rent was 2 months late. Not only was my rent late but also were my payments for gas, elec, water etc. Turns out he had taken my money that I had trusted he had paid, and run out on my son and I. To add insult to injury, I have since heard that he took my money to shack up with a 20 year old that he had been seeing behind my back for 6 months! Also, because I willingly transferred the money, I could not get it back. Lord knows how I tried! I have caught up as best as I can with what was left owing, but with Christmas (and not wanting to let my son down again!) I have completely run out of money. I am now left with barely enough to cover groceries. I now owe just over £500, but my landlord is getting impatient (understandably) and I now have nowhere left to turn. I'm just so worried about losing our home. If you can help (even if its 1p!) My son and I will be eternally grateful, and I will definitely email everyone to say thank you. As soon as I am back on my feet I will repay every penny by donating back to this page. Thank you for taking the time to read my beg.x

Hello, My name is john, I am married with 2 children. I am 3 months behind on my mortgage and the forclosure letters are coming in.

My wife is working but we are in bad shape. I have depleted my savings and My credit is ruined. Please every little bit will help.

Hello,I live in Indianapolis,In.Up until March of 2011 I was a cab driver here in town.At that time I was asked by my son to join his small business of cleaning out foreclosed homes,a business he ran along with his regular job. Unfortunately as time went on we found we could no longer work side by side,so I have left as of December 2011.Shortly after leaving my car broke down and any money I had went to utility bills.My goal is to get back in a cab in time for the Super Bowl in February.As my Taxi License expired in September, I need to renew it.The cost to renew your license here is $132.50+ $250.00 for the first weeks rent on the cab.My Goal is to be back in a cab,and to continue driving throughout 2012.I know it's a small goal,but it will keep me going thru the lean times.Every $ is appreciated. Thank you and God Bless.
