Rent

Poor student, GA



I recently moved to a new town for school. Already went to a two year and just trying to get my bachelors. Well, I moved down here with a job secured but they were unable to hire me due to unforeseen reasons. I am now low on cash and need to make a rent payment. Rent is 800 a month total and I have to make half of it. I'd go into more debt right now but school doesn't start for almost two weeks. So student loans are out of the question. Please, have some mercy and help a poor student out. I'm not sure what I'll do if I miss my first month's rent payment.

Behind on rent and bills

Gabriel, PEI



I've tried this site before with no help in site. I've fallen behind on many bills because of a loss of employment and an expensive car fix that was needed about a month ago. I'm trying to get myself out on my own still, but if there is anyone who can offer assistance in any way please help me.

Hello! I am writing to ask for donations towards getting me housed. I was renting the same place for over three years when at the beginning of December I was told it had been sold and that I had to be out by the 21st, having just got into a new position at work, for which I had to take a pay cut (but will eventually lead to amazing things) I am stuck for a deposit to get me into a new place. I was renting from a 'friend' (who kicks you out at Christmas) and didn't put a deposit down and it was also fully furnished so I am well ad truly stick right now. I have £500 to my name and ideally need £1500 for a deposit. I would like to be in a new place before the 6th Jan as that is when I am back to work, I am currently staying 2 hours from my work place at a friends house whilst I try to sort something out. No, I am not the most needy person out there, I an healthy and I am happy and I couldn't be more grateful for that, but I would not be lying when I say I am homeless. Anything you give will be received with immense thanks and gratitude and I endeavour to keep giving back to those less fortunate than myself. Thank you so much for giving to me.

NEED HELP!

Alexandru, Romania



Hi! My name is Alex. I want to share my story and ask for help. Two months ago my father died. My parents have been unemployed for 6 years (they were too old to find another job after they got fired) and I had anxieties and depression due to traumas suffered at school. When my father died I had a mental breakdown and was hospitalized in a neuropsychiatric hospital. I also suffered (and still do) from the worst depression and worst panic attacks I had to date. Because of my problems and no money I couldn't go to college (I barely finished highschool 3 years ago) and never mind finding a job without it in a country like this (not that I could keep a job). Due to no income my mom and me had to pay for my medical inssurance, funeral and taxes with money borrowed from relatives. We have debts and we can barely afford anything. It's impossible for her to find a job at her age and I tried too but no one will hire me and I feel too depressed to do anything. If not for the meds I couldn't even leave the appartment or things like watching TV or falling asleep. I had heart problems, hair loss due to a disease and depression+stress, I need glasses I can't afford, dental problems, etc. When my father died the appartment was on his name and he didn't leave a testament. I found out that not only me and my mom are to inherit it but also a step brother I never knew about. He got 25% of the appartment after we couldn't hire a lawyer to help us. We payed alot of taxes for the documents. He wanted to rent it or even sell it but luckly he doesn't own enough % to do that. Wright now I don't have the best Christmas and I'm in need of alot of money. I am home but will have to return to the hospital in January or February like the doctors told me. I am feeling suicidal and feel like life won't ever get any better just worse. I'm sorry if I turned this into a sob story and forgive me If I don't respond to all messages but it was (and is) very hard to talk about it. And if you are sick enough to think I made this up I will send to whoever asks (and needs) a copy of a discharge ticket from the hospital, death certificate, etc. I could use any help I get so please help me! Thanks and happy holidays!

need to pay rent and food

Ineedhelp, Spain



I am 50 yrs old and have worked hard all my life even when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 34. Last year I had a bad year with my health and had 3 operations on my hands and then last December (15th) I was rushed to hospital in a critical state. I survived :) . This experience gave me the courage to live my lifelong dream so I sold up my house and move to Spain in May this year. My partner and I opened a small bar and everything was good. Then our life savings went from our account in October (still being investigated...long story) the long and short of it all we lost the bar, had to move to a small cheaper apartment. We both looked for jobs but being out of season very hard. I have found a job but I won’t be starting until the end of January so my first pay will not be until the end of February. We have 380 Euros left, rent of 350 due in 2 weeks and I need money to travel to work in January. If anyone can help I am not asking for 1000’s just enough for food, rent and travel money to get me by to payday in February. My Thanks in advance
