Need Help !!!

Petals, Leicestershire



I am close to loosing it big time I can't cope anymore, I hate asking for help and I am embarrassed to ask for help because I have always managed on my own but I just can't anymore, I am a disabled single mother and can't afford to buy enough food because my bills are so high yesterday I ate 1 slice of bread just so my children have something to eat, I can't afford to put my heating on because it costs to much it's made worse because my illness is worse when I'm cold so I am suffering constant pain in all my bones and nerve pain. My children are great they don't moan because they know we can't afford anything. I suffer with Fibromyalgia which leave me in so much pain I cry myself to sleep every night I take morphine everyday just to take the edge off the pain and I also take loads of other medications ( I can take pictures of my prescription lists to show you I'm not making this up ), I also have a slipped disc and osteoarthritis in my spine I have to use walking sticks or a wheelchair but I can't move myself in it, I always need someone to push me but when my children are at school I have no one to help me so I end up being in my house all day everyday on my own and it's really making me suffer.. Aswell as the 3 heath problems above I also suffer with Subventricular Tachycardia this is where my heart beats so fast it hasn't got time to fill up with enough blood to pump around my body resulting in me fainting / passing out alot only last week I went all faint and fell over and now I'm in a cast because I broke my hand. I also have Asthma, Thyroid disorder, Hyperactivity which effects my joints causing alot of pain and not surprisingly I suffer with severe depression and anxiety I am begging for some help so I can afford a mobility Scooter ( aprox £1000 ) so I can get out the house on my own I need some Independents back in my life. I hate that my children miss out on things because there my carers and they do everything for me, getting a scooter will also help them so they get to go out with there friends. I claim ESA ( Employment and Support Allowance ) but I only get £120 a week and this is for food, bills and anything else like paying someone to do my Ironing and Gardening because I can't do it myself, it also has to pay for my petrol and any car repairs which I need £450 to get my car working again now.. I feel like I am alone and there is no one out there that will help me and my family. Everything is getting so hard to cope with the council just said I need to pay them some money but I have nothing to give them .... I'm begging please please help me !!! Thanku for taking the time to read this even if you can't afford much £1 here and there will help me more than I can say xx

HELP to combat FIRE DAMAGE and eminent FORECLOSURE

Smittenkitten, Milwaukee, Wisconsin



Help me! and also Pray for me. I am about to lose my home in foreclosure because the bank would not take partial mortgage payments. They also did not have the courtesy to ever serve me with foreclosure papers. So now I am going to have to go through bankruptcy. To top all this off on Sunday afternoon, October 13th we have had a kitchen fire at the electric stove {{i hate electric stoves}}---the kitchen is toast!! No one was injured. The house is still very liveable, only smoke damage. But we get a new kitchen, new appliances, and i get my gas stove. The contractors are busy working and i’m sitting here shaking. It could have been so much worse. Hey everybody i'm still alive {{i think??}}. I am an older disabled widow (left club foot and leg, with no cartilage in my knees), whose husband of 21 years died unexpectedly some 2 years ago. He was a disabled Vietnam era vet of 10 Army years, and had been granted 100% disability for dystemia in September, 2001 (for which he had been granted 20% on his demobilization in 1981). We had purchased a house about 2 years before he died, never thinking his illness would take such a sudden turn for the worse. He died of non-combat causes 20 days before his 100% disability would have been 10 years. Therefore I do not receive a widow’s VA pension. However, due to a string of very odd, disturbing, and harshly negative circumstances, I seriously panicked. Some years back I was diagnosed with a series of TIA’s (small brain strokes) which unhinged some of the synapses in my brain. This resulted in my acquiring a Panic Attack Anxiety Disorder (PAAD) syndrome, which made it impossible to teach college classes or perform my storytelling show. After being referred to over 25 agencies that I was told would help me, then being told “we don’t do that any more”, and being passed from one agency to another to another to another, I was feeling that no one saw me or heard me or believed anything I said. When I asked for help they said “yes”, but didn’t do what they promised, probably hoping I would forget and go away. So I kept sinking deeper into this mental slog of PAAD despair, which lasted for most of these last fourteen months. The whole problem now is how to save this house. I’ve got no other place to go. I also have taken in two lady friends, a mother, and her adult daughter who has two small girls 9 years and 9 months old, as roommates, who also have had no other place to go. Besides, they both had their wallets stolen at their recent family gatherings, apparently by a cousin (but no actual proof), and are now fighting identity theft problems. Practically, it would be less expensive for the government if I were here in my own house with my lady friends. Assisted living homes, etc. are much more expensive than what is needed to help keep me in this house (besides, I’d have to give up my computer and my cat). Preserving a very old house that pays taxes and is a part of the neighborhood is a more viable solution. What I am asking {{??begging??}} for are two kinds of help. First, an “angel” [in the Broadway sense] who would gift or finance me enough money to be able to save the house. Or, if possible, put me in touch with someone or someplace that would. Secondly, Prayer to save the house. I really believe God has put me here for a reason, but this financial situation is a mountain that has to be moved. And I really believe also the devil does not want me to be here. So I look for inspiration: Luke,11:9;---And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. It is quite embarrassing to write this letter, which sounds like one of those junk mail scamish letters. Be assured, though, this is for an immediate {and panicked} need. Please be sympathetic to my situation. I ask you for both financial help and prayer, and hope that God will move you to share both with me. But if you cannot, please feel free to pass this on to any person or charity that can help.

My student loan only covered my rental costs and bills

Unable to eat at university, Portsmouth UK



Hi, I am a university student in my third and final year. Unfortunately the rent in my current property has risen which I am contractually obliged to pay, along with the increase in rates (water gas etc). These bills were not an issue to me, I paid in full to cover myself until the start of 2014, the real problem came when my rent and rates came into excess of £1200. As a student I receive £1600 per term. This left me with only £400 to purchase books, clothing and food for 4 months. After purchasing the text books required by my course I was left with £200, or £50 per month for food and living expenses. I was perfectly happy surviving on this until my bank revoked my £200 overdraft. Thus leaving me with nothing. I appealed against their decision, applied for an increase in my overdraft (from nothing to £50) and it was rejected due to poor credit history from a phone contract I purchased when I was 16. I am the oldest of a family of 5 boys, being raised by a single parent (my father left when I was 2, and passed a few years back), meaning that my family cannot afford to support me in any way. I have applied for multiple jobs, and all I seem to receive is rejection after rejection. But I am hoping to get a position in the next few weeks so as to be able to support myself financially again. All I am asking for is a little help, I know that I can get by on as little as £3 a week, £45 would feed me for the remainder of the term. However any aid is greatly appreciated and will be a huge help. Thank you Michael

Kyle jacobs, North carolina



ok my reasons for why im here i have been declared disabled by my doctor at unc-chapel hill transplant center. i am awaiting ssa disability but no idea of the time frame for their decision. i have no credit cards or car loans outstanding and have shut everything down to just internet in our home. ( to communicate with doctors, appts lab results etc. ) i cant afford the 50 bucks for my prepaid phone service and can live without it if need be. i will be behind in rent 350.00 am past due on electric 163.19 and need 92.00 to get the heat turned on ( gas heat / stove ) i have applied for dss help but again no time frame with the federal shutdown. my sons mother owes me over 5000.00 in back child support and again no time frame as to when they can get her to pay. my son has a soccer tournament at the end of the month and unless something good happens he probably wont be able to attend. ( i am waiting to see if another parent may be able to drive him and stay with them for the overnight trip but not sure yet ) im sure my story isnt as bad as some but if at all possible i sure could use a little bit of help right now. thanks for taking the time to look at this posting kyle
