Money for food, bills
I have been without a job for two years. The last business I worked for closed down. I have been unable to find employment. My husband makes just enough to exclude us from government help, but not enough to feed us everyday. The medication and supplies I need for my Type 1 diabetes cost roughly $300 per month. Our daughter recently had to get dental work done -- cavities. Today, our water got shut off. Please help us. We work hard, but are drowning. Please.
Help affording a good used car
Hi, my name is Ben. I'm 23 years old and I live in a very small community, jobs are scarce and I can't seem to obtain the funds necessary for me to move forward in life. I feel stuck. I've managed to save $743 and I'm hoping to be able to afford a car closer to the 1,500 range. When I go to school in the spring, it'll be essential for me to have a car for commuting to school and back as well as for going back and forth from home to work. Please help, I would certainly be grateful. Thank you.
One Step To Being Homeless!
Back in 2005 I quit my day job to start my own business. I tried for 4 years to grow it successfully until the economy took a downturn on me. I had to start using my credit cards and 401k in 2008 to help keep my business afloat. Dumb move on my part right? Starting in 2009-2010, I lost my car, my house and my business. I let pride get in the way. Over the past year I have been looking for a good job to no prevail. I am begging and asking for $400 dollars to help pay past due rent for October. I can even pay it back in about 3 weeks, as i have a contractor who is going to pay me for some side work. I just need a little help TODAY, so i can keep myself together with dignity with a roof over my head. Every $ is appreciated. Thank you and God Bless!
I Need a Fresh Start
Needy Pinay Mother, Philippines
I have made so many bad choices in life while I was single. Because of these bad decisions I have accumulated loans of almost $2,000. Now that I'm a mom, I have to provide for my kids and still continue paying my debt.
The interest I'm paying is making it very difficult to make ends meet. I just need a little help. I want to pay off my debt so that I don't have to pay these usurious interest.
No one is willing to lend me money because I have a bad credit record. I want to make a fresh start. It does not even have to be a donation. Whatever financial help anyone can extend me, if they want, I can pay them off a little at a time as long as you are willing charge me very little interest or none at all.
I want to change my future so I can provide for my kids properly. I don't want to be forever paying off my debts.
Please, please, help.
