Me she my 4 children were evicted. Their ages are 1, 2, 9, and 11. I was laid off of my job in April and could not continue to pay the bills once my unemployment ran out. We have found a trailer to move in for $275 a month and a friend had offered to pay this but I still have to come up with the $400 light bill deposit. Any donation would be a blessing to me and my kids. They have not been to school in 2 weeks because we do not have an address. Please help us. We have been staying from house to house where ever we can lay or head for that night. As I said any donation would be a blessing thanks in advance

Hi, I am in a difficult bind right now. I have run out of Employment Insurance (EI) benefits here in Canada and am in the process of applying for welfare benefits. Unfortunately I owe welfare hundreds of dollars from when I received my EI benefits. EI took 2 months to finally approve my application and welfare took time to approve my case too during that time. By the time my EI was approved, I owed my landlord months of rent and that's where all the extra money went. AND I although I am making a new welfare application this week, it will take weeks to process. I have fallen between the cracks of the government aid system and have nowhere to turn to, and no one in my life who can help me get through this rough patch. The medical on my welfare has also run out, as my doctor had put I had only a temporary constraint. Long story short, welfare will automatically deduct money from my cheque every month, when it does come in, to repay my debt to them. They will take $56 off my welfare cheque every month, until my debt to them is repaid. The amount welfare will pay me (which I have already received this past year, so know what the amount will be) is less than my $535 monthly rent. That does not cover money for food or to pay my bills. I have the lowest electrical bill possible at $45/month and my cellphone bill is $25 + tax a month. I have cut my bills and expenses down to the bone and just cannot survive on what I have. I have no savings left and am not well enough to work right now and need to see my doctor again. I also have expensive medications that I need, and have had to do without them some months this year. I am tired and weary and am exhausted from having to struggle to pay my rent and buy food. I owe my landlord this month's rent for this month. He has taken me to the rental board before, when I had trouble paying my rent, to try to have me evicted. But when you get less than $535/month to live on from welfare, you end up having to choose between having food to eat and having electricity in your house OR paying your rent. It is a very tough choice. I have chosen one or the other before and either one is tough to live with. And yes, I have used the services of my local food bank but it is not free. They charge to open an account with them and charge a weekly fee as well. People think that food from all food banks is free but that is not the reality in my neighbourhood. I have seen social workers for help with this and so I know of all the local resources. I really need money right NOW so I can stop my landlord from trying to evict me again, and also have enough food to eat and a warm apartment to live in. At one point I had my electricity cut off for 3 months and that was not an experience I want to repeat. Taking cold showers is not fun. Can you please help me NOW? Any contribution would be appreciated. I want to get myself out of this situation but I need help to make it through this month. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I beg because im in the process of fixing my life but i cant keep up with the bills and work on my depression and stress dissorders and all that good stuff.

Hi Everyone, Over the past 7 year a series of events have devastated our family at every level; we are hard working, industrious & honest, and have always taken pride in helping anyone in need. In 2007, we had lost our eldest son of of 24 years. He passed away at our home and was found by our youngest son (15 years old). The subsequent investigation, counseling, etc., had run into the 10's of thousands of dollars. Even though I lost my wonderful son, the light of my life who I raised from an infant myself, was determined to get my youngest son through this tragedy and finding his own brother and making him understand that we must make the best of life .. and be the example. On November 2010, my employer terminated my employment without explanation, after 14 years of service . 2 weeks later, I was struck by a hit & run driver while walking, fracturing my skull, neck & back & causing minor brain damage; even though disabled, I continued to look for work, and found it in Nov. 2011; during this time, my wife contracted brain cancer & 2 brain aneurysms, requiring brain surgery in July 2012, and again in November 2012; when I notified my employer of the 2nd surgery, I was promptly terminated. Insurance partially covered the 1st surgery, and my former did not transfer the Cobra paperwork so my wife was not covered for the 2nd surgery which completely wiped out our savings. Since, there has been an additional $195k I have had to borrow to pay the residual medical bills and care, as well as monthly expenses, while consulting and looking for full time employment. Unfortunately, our money is gone and we have borrowed against every credit line possible, sold everything of value and its down to almost being on the streets now. I have borrowed from relatives, friends to the point that neither will not even return my calls anymore. Of course I am looking for work daily, and I am not above doing anything. I know my efforts will all come together very soon for my son, my wife and me and this is only temporary; I have overcome much in my life and will get through this as well. I just need a little help. Any donation that could be offered I would be extremely grateful. I set up a Paypal account for any donations. Thank you & bless you all, especially all of you who are struggling in life. I know it is not easy and my thoughts are always with those who suffer great pain who few ever see or understand. Believe me, I understand. Life is a gift; the bad things that happen to us only make us appreciate the good even more. We all get 1 shot at this, and I want to say at the end of my life that I did my very best in the best and worst of times. No, it is not easy day to day, especially with losing my precious son, who was a wonderful person and my best friend. But I have to believe that we will have our time together when the time comes, and that I am here to make the most of the life I am given, and to take care of my youngest son, who has turned out to be an excellent, almost perfect young man; I still have much to be grateful for, even through all the hard times.

I'm taking a long shot with this one, but for my kids, i am setting my pride to the side.  I am currently homeless with two kids. i have been taking my children to different family members home at night so they can be safe, and I have been sleeping in my car because my family feels with being an adult they shouldn't help.  I recently was engaged and made a mistake in trusting someone who took everything from me. I have eaten in three days and I'm sick to my stomach. while I have been sleeping in my car, I was raped, which drove me to the point to try and kill myself. It didn't work anad I'm still here. I get by through the night by cutting my wrist to sot me frm crying. I am working hard to get another job and a new place for my children. All this is hitting me hard because Its like i lost EVERYTHING within this past week. Im only in my car because I was living out of state, and had to travel back to my hometown where I have no one. All I asking is for a little help to at least pay for hotel stay until I can get another place so I can be safe and have a little type of piece. Please
