I'm drowning
I'm a single mother with a teenage son in the Autism spectrum and, owing to my own stupid mistakes and poor choices in friends, I am two months behind on my rent. I am on the verge of being evicted. I can not take my son and live with my mother, as she has Bi Polar dissorder and is unstable. Please help me, I'm at the end of my rope.
Homeless
Homeless
Alone and scared, losing my power to live and barely holding on to hope.
Here at this juncture of my life I am wiser and full of life experiences that I truly am grateful for. I have loved and I have given so much to another but my path has reached this point where I cannot find the strength to stand up straight with pride anymore.
The world is in a mess and hatred is growing everywhere where trust is but a distant memory. Fear is growing more and more each day and the method of making money is becoming cold and a selfish act to fill the bellies of those that has more than enough for a hundred life times. Humanity is shrivelling away into a machine that holds no compassion or understanding.
A beggar is what I am now, begging for someone to help and begging to God not to forget me. Even a healthy person needs some help and surely by helping a helpless man so that man can become a man again and help the next man or woman in his lifetime.
I am not young anymore and the difficulties grow each day to find my confidence back, but now with your hand towards me I can build a new chain of human kindness and maybe, just maybe the world will start changing again. I don’t need people to look after me, all I need is a chance to stand up again with pride and fill this life with all the beauty that is still left in each one of us no matter how dark it becomes.
I still hold on to that hope that we all can strengthen each other and even the weak can give a love in such a strength which the strong keep losing bit by bit.

Mother is unable to work during injury, I am unemployed
Jobless and with injured mothe, Erie, PA, America
Hello. I have no job, and sadly no skills to GET a job, and my mother, who was the breadwinner, recently suffered a work-related injury. This, combined with losing 100$ of government support, means we are in a financially difficult position. Our family is unable to help as they all have their own troubles. My Mom had major neck surgery a while back and works as a personal care assistant. One man had a seizure and grabbed onto her neck, and if physical therapy fails she will need surgery again. Her employers will only pay 66% of her wages during this time, and until a time when I can help pay for things, this will make things VERY difficult. We are renting our home from my grandparents, but they need money too so we will still need to pay rent. Mom has been so worried about money lately that she has started to get stress-related hives, something I did not even know was possible. I might not be able to help financially, but I CAN ask you all for help. Best regards, Stephen.
Moved in with the wrong person
I moved in with my boyfriend to a new apartment. Leaving my comfort zone of over 6 years, turns out to be the worst decision. I work, buy only part time and have since been offered a slightly higher paying job at full time. He just left after a small arguement and this was the second time since July, when we moved in. I know me and my son will be okay. I just need to get past the rent and up coming bills for the next month. My friends have been very helpful, bringing randomness food and conversation but financially they can only help with a few dollars here and there. Which I understand and give whenever I can as well.
To clarify, I only took him back because of the financial situation I was in, I was threatened to be evicted if I couldn't make the rent.
Fast forward a month later, he has done it again to me. I put myself in a better financial position but can't pay everything I need to without selling every item I own. (Anything of value has been sold for groceries, gas, and essentials) . I only asking for help in rent and groceries until next month, when my new job has my regular income coming in and I could breathe again.
To pay bills and taxes
Save my little shop, Portugal
Dear friends, I'm in trouble ...
I have a small health products store, opened two years ago and now, with the European crisis, it is sinking. I will have to close it in November or december if I do not get $ 13,000 to pay the bills and taxes. And even if I close the store I will continue to owe this money, not knowing how to pay it. So I urgently need your help because I'm desperate, not knowing what to do.
Can you help me, please?
Thank you, friends.
God bless you.
