Hi everyone, I am a 13 year old girl. My family and I are very poor and I’m in the eighth grade. I’m writing to you today because our family needs money because my mom is very sick and our father is not in our lives. We are about to lose the only house I’ve ever lived in because my mom is now unemployed and we don’t have any money. Also, my little sister is 3 years old and we barely have any clothes, shoes, school supplies and other important necessities like soap, toothpaste, lotion, deodorant, tissue and etc…I am soon going to be graduating from the 8th grade with honors however, we do not have any money to buy the things I need for the eighth grade and I also might have to transfer because we are about to lose our house soon which might drop my grade point average from honors…soon we will be taking pictures in our cap and gown but unfortunately my mom want have any money to buy me clothes or pay for the pictures and 8th grade only comes once in a life time. I also have a 3 year old sister that attends preschool everyday with hardly any clothes or shoes. So please have a heart and do our family a favor by donating…it doesn’t matter how big or small any amount is very much appreciated…thank you! and may god bless you!

Hello my name is Kevin I am creating this project in hopes that I would be able to find enough help to go back to school. I had gone in my younger years. I did not do well missed a lot of classes and ended up on academic suspension with a balance of $942 and cannot register for classes until it is paid in full I have saved close to half of the money but still looking for $498 to cover the rest of the cost. I will receive federal aid but not before I pay the balance. The main motivation that sparked my changed my life perspective was I turned 30 my little boy turned 2 on the same day and we found out two days later that our second child is on the way. As the father and the husband I have to work hard to make sure my family is not struggling as we are now and I want to work hard to make sure that happens thank you for any and all considerations.

The reason why I'm begging is because this is my last hope :'( my life has been a horrible disaster this year and all of my dreams and hopes have been crashed to the dust. I've even tried attempting suicide several times and I have this great depression. I want to move back to my hometown but I don't even have a dollar to afford the train and I really want to finish my last school year to go to college I'm 18. I've never begged for money in my life but you guys are my last hope please find it in your heart to help me

Since my husband passed away 7 years ago life has spiraled. He got sick and passed, leaving me to care for our 3 kids. We had debt and no insurance. I was a stay home mom who had to now provide for our kids . We lost our home, we lost our husband and father , our dignity and now i have a huge debt of 49K . The debt we had just grew, and my inability to make enough money each month to both care for my family and keep paying off the debt didnt work. I am now at a point where bankrupcy and humiliation are pending. My kids deserved better but i couldnt provide the way dad did. To top it off i ended up with a health crisis that has me feeling like giving up. I dont want to burden my kids or anyone with these issues but i am desperate for a hand up. By the grace of god i know there are able people out here who can help...please ....I am praying this finds its way to the right and able souls. Anything will be appreciated. And yes, i do work....very hard.

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. --- 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. 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. --- 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.
