Broke Grad Student

Student in Need, St Louis, Missouri



Hey there, I hate begging for money, but things have just gone from bad to worse here. I had a full ride, including rent, taken care of based upon maintaining a good GPA. But my father died this past month and I've been in charge of his funeral affairs. In addition, my girlfriend has taken ill and now my grades have slipped and my rent and financial aid are falling through. Anything would be appreciated. Thank you.

Unemployed father of 2, looking for help.

Kenneth G, Albuquerque



I'm a hardworking, but recently unemployed father of 2 beautiful boys ages 2 and 4. I'm married and am currently struggling to make ends meet. I was denied unemployment because my former employer decided to appeal against me. I was NOT fired for any kind of misconduct. I worked hard, I worked clean and professional. I recently finished school with my EMS-Basic certification and don't even have money to pay for the national testing to look for a job in that field. Recent situations have left me virtually optionless and in desparate search of a financial remedy to prevent getting put out on the streets. I've been denied state assistance multiple times. I created this profile as a last ditch effort in hope of help. I'm hitting the streets and the internet everyday in hopes of finding work spending countless hours searching. I'm applying at jobs far below my level of experience. At this point, I'm willing to take a job at McDonald's or become a School Janitor to bring money home and make sure my wife and boys are taken care of. We have no place to go besides the streets. The last month has been a rocky road with a seemingly inevitable hard impact impending. Please, to anyone reading this, I hope this finds you and finds you well. I'm praying to God every odd minute of everyday hoping that something comes to light and puts me and my family back on track. I'm searching ceaslessly day and night for work, Hoping that my efforts come to fruition and pay off. Before losing my job, we just financed a new vehicle, got our credit back on track, moved into a new place. All just to have the rug pulled out from beneath us. I've gone days without eating, nights without sleeping. Just to make sure my boys have something in their stomach and a warm place to sleep. Where does this end? Where is the bottom? How much worse will this get? To anyone reading this with a giving heart, I hope whatever you contribute from that gets returned to you ten fold. God bless you. Even if you read this and don't give anything, I hope you take something positive from this.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Ken.

Proud and honest family but desperate times.

Solution device for my CEREBRAL PALSY SON so that he can be able to set,stand,walk,and talk

Jennevey Bartolome, Boracay Malay Aklan



Dear Sir/Maam, It is with a feeling of misgiving and diffidence with which I address this note to you; and it is only my great anxiety for the cause I present, which prompts me for the first time in my life to "beg" from a total stranger.You may consider this rather a strange letter coming from a stranger as it does, one whom you never met. I'm a Poor mother asking your help for my son Marlou Jr. who is 2 suffer with CEREBRAL PALSY that cause my son of disability . JUNJUN is lack of head control, stiffness or floppiness, overextending the back and crossed legs..I’d like my son to check on the specialist on his condition so that he can be able to set,walk,speak,crawl, and talk same to the other children “Special needs” just doesn’t sound cool, although out of all the terms, I tend to use it a lot because it’s the most recognized term. “Differently-abled” is cooler but harder to explain and I don’t always want to explain. “Disabled” emphasizes negativity, and “handicapped” just seems outdated to me. I know, I know: Why are labels necessary? Sometimes, they just are. I don’t always want to say "junjun has Cerebral Palsy ”—vague terminology comes in handy for forms, special accommodations at places, nosy people. I’ve had many lively discussions with other parents, and all of us seem to agree there should be a better term. I recently met a mom who describes her child as “freaky-perfect.” That one didn’t work for me, as I think “freak” has some bad associations. A lot of people in the autism community describe kids as having “quirks,” which I think is awesome but that term doesn’t fit junjun, who has Cerebral Palsy. I mean, it’s quirky that he wants "CHAMPORADO" for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’ve been known to say junjun has “special powers”—a lot of people liked that term when I threw it out there, but then I got some scathing criticism from an adult with disabilities who said, among many things, that it made it sound as if people with disabilities have the power to fly or shoot lightning bolts from their fingertips. I still thought it could work well for a child. Although it would be really cool if junjun could shoot lightning bolts from his fingertips. When I talk about JunJun his little sis, I tend to say that Junjun is just like other kids but some things take him longer to do. Atalia knows the term “special needs” and used to tell people “JunJUn needs special needs,” which really didn’t work.One wording tactic that I have no qualms about is ”people first” language—that means you put the person in front of the disability. So instead of saying “a special needs child” you say “a child with special needs.” And instead of saying “An autistic adult” you say “An adult with autism.” I never knew about it till I had Junjun, but once I did, it seemed like a respectful thing to do. If you have a kid with special needs or who’s differently abled or who has special powers, etc., what terms do you use when you have to? If you are a parent of so-called typical kids, what words do you use to describe children you know who have special needs? .i’m begging somebody “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE” give love to my loving JUNJUN ,Being a mother i wan’t my JUNJUN to have a good health,normal life ,and most of all safe. my kids are my life,strength, and inspiration.My husband is uneducated person,no work, and he the one who taking care of my disable loving son and i am working as a room attendant in a resort of Boracay Philippines,but not enough for the food supply just for milk .i really wan’t to stop working and focus to my family back to the farm because i’m so worried to my 2nd child “JunJun” on his situation..he’s only 8 months when i’m giving birth to him.,,,, i bring him in the house so sad my son is almost 1 month in the holding area/emergency room with oxygen fighting his life to survive 7 days after his delivery .and thank’s God he’s good and my son is alive but not in a normal condition reason that lossing of oxygen supply on his brain.(seizure) i dont understand that word but as pedia explain it happen on combulson..i never stop praying that hopefully someday my son will be alright..While watching and carrying my son its too hurt and too hard for me to observe growing on that condition .Now his left arms and left leg started to become thin,no function.My heart is full of sadness..i always cry and cry even when i’m typing this messages right now..i never stop crying..i spend 3 days typing this message because i’m so hurt , my feeling is almost down but i said to myself i never stop,i did’nt lost my hope that somebody will open they’re heart and helping my son on his situation.i never give up ! until such day somebody heard me and open they're heart helping me to buy the device on the image attachment that is the only way and hope of chances to walk .i really really really love my family,,,i love them so much…i really wan’t to come back on farm with a simple life together with my family.but its too hard for me to start again specially to my son condition.where do i get money to buy they’re milk if i only planting rice?This device is the only ANSWER to all my burdens PLEASE I need your help for this devide i know God is always there.. and i write all of this because my heart is broken ..so help me God. I always keep this GOD word "If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any of the towns of the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor brother/sister; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks. ” “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” "When parents learn about any difficulty or problem in their child’s development, this information comes as a tremendous blow. The day my child was diagnosed as having a disability, I was devastated—and so confused that I recall little else about those first days other than the heartbreak. Another parent described this event as a “black sack” being pulled down over her head, blocking her ability to hear, see, and think in normal ways. Another parent described the trauma as “having a knife stuck” in her heart. Perhaps these descriptions seem a bit dramatic, yet it has been my experience that they may not sufficiently describe the many emotions that flood parents’ minds and hearts when they receive any bad news about their child.Many things can be done to help yourself through this period of trauma. heres the proof: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWzt2DHOcLNhh3unZ8mzjDQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdlMkNvuhEA
