I am a single mother of 2 amazing young little men--ages 11 and 8. They seem to be growing up so quickly. My 8 year old was born with a soft cleft palate and has had 4 different surgeries (cleft palate, eye, kidney, and testes) in his lifetime and over the summer was diagnosed with Autism. I am in need of replacing his prescription glasses and the bill is $393/year and not covered under our healthcare plan. His glasses are overdue for replacement currently. No matter how much I try to save, another expense always come up. He needs these glasses in order to see, so I will continue trying to do my best at making this money appear on my end (all proceeds go to these glasses). Your time is greatly appreciated in this matter. God Bless!

Thanks for taking the time to check this project out! My friend and I are heading out to Europe and working with a group called HelpX. HelpX is an online listing of host organic farms, non-organic farms, farmstays, homestays, ranches, lodges, B&Bs, backpackers hostels and even sailing boats who invite volunteer helpers to stay with them short-term in exchange for food and accommodation. http://www.helpx.net/ We have been saving up in our jobs so that we can quit and get out there to experience Europe by working at local places. Your small contribution can speed up the timing of the trip. Our plan is to quit our jobs and to spend as long as we can in Europe. If you have any questions, you can ask more questions.

Hello, I'm living in Alaska where housing is outrageous even though I work and work hard I still am having a problem supporting myself my child and our beloved dog. Last spring I went through something that was a very scary time. I had found out I had cervical cancer, squamous cell carcinoma. During the next couple months I wasn't able to work as much and fell behind on rent. because I made to much to get public assistance but not enough to support my family I was forced out on the street and had to send my son to his father. Doing the right thing is never always easy and having to admit to myself and my son that I could not support us at that time was extremely hard on my already weakened state. I'm not one to beg unless its to use my friends car lol to go to the store or take the dog to a park,. I don't mind working in fact I feel like I have done my part in bettering the world when I pass on my smile to someone whom isn't having a good day.I just need a little help in standing on my feet and I don't rely on a man to do anything for me. I can fix my own plumbing, repair my roof and keep a car on the road in pristine running condition...its getting the money to get one that am having a problem with. rent being almost 1300 a month for a one bedroom food is expensive, electric bill is about 120 a month and after insurance and taxes that leaves me with a roughly around 78.00 a month for phone and laundry money. I have an education and I have great business ideas...but what good is it going to do if I cant find the backing, or even a reliable car to get things rolling. so that brings me to why I am here with my hand and my heart out. Not because im lazy or don't want to work but to ask for a blessing, a miracle of sorts, I have sang contests and won...600.00 is what I won last year and was able to have a nice Christmas for my son and I. I have family but I cannot let them know im in financial trouble as its not their problem...whom ever put this site up and whom ever helps out by donating has taken on a great pay it forward and if someday I do end up successful I WILL be back here to repay and pay it forward as karma will come back around. Thank you for taking the time I hope and pray that someone hears me and understands that sometimes a simple act of kindness can put hopes and dreams into a reality. Again thank you and god bless

There is a devil, and the jerk waits until you are at the lowest point in life to create a perfect storm of Murphy's Law. I have been on unpaid sick leave from my job for many months and just a few weeks ago had to spend nearly all of my savings on a medical emergency. At the time, I thought "No problem, I still have my job and long term disability". Well, the joke was on me, because I was terminated from my job 3 days after I received my Doctor's note to return to work! (Still had my benefits and was never given a notice of termination) Then, Lo and Behold, I was informed by the Human Resources director, that not only was I terminated, but what I thought was my Long Term Disability was actually an error made by the company payroll dept! They had me listed as a Regular employee, even though I was on registered unpaid sick leave!! So now, not only did my company fire me, they now say I have to PAY THEM back every red cent for THEIR Mistake!! So I am screwed, everything that could go wrong happened at one time....October is fast approaching, and I do not have enough for my rent, which is $899 and my unemployment benefits have not even started yet. If I get help, (1 dollar from 899 individuals) I can get another job during October AND PAY everyone back for their Altruism. What dignity I have left demands I repay all who may help me. My email is cohesivematter@gmx.com, and you can send donations via paypal. Many Thanks and God Bless....

http://www.gofundme.com/4b1mkc Well a couple a months ago our family had a something horrific happened to one our kids something that changed our family and not for the better. Our 11 year old was beaten and sexually assaulted by two boys she new from school I won't go into great detail but she was kicked out of school for telling a friend what happened to her and yes I know that sounds far fetched but I assure you it is true as for the boy's they still go to that school and nothing has happened to them because they were under the age to be charged. Before she got kicked out of school one of the teachers told her to get over it because it happens to lots of people. So after following all the right steps and telling all the right people your told to just be quite now does that sound right to you. The fun happy full of life your girl I love so much is now not so happy and full of life she has told us she thinks of suicide because no one cared enough to help her when it happened. It kills me to hear a young beautiful girl talk about ending her life she means the world to me she is my hero So needless to say we followed all the right roads and my little girl has still gotten no justice or ever a little satisfaction knowing people out there care. So my wife works for a sexual assault center so needless to say she is off work right now and I got laid off because its hard to work when you want to be there all the time to protect your child because you feel like you failed them. So our bills have been pilling we are months behind on our rent we are behind on months of car payments I fear we will lose them soon the landlords are understanding but can only wait so long and as a father I don't know what else to do I just want to see my kids smile again I want to see my wife not cry everyday. I just want to catch up on bills and be able to take my family someplace nice to take their minds off of all of this darkness. Thank you for listening and please if you want to know anything else don't hesitate to ask I didn't put a lot of detail because it is hard for me to think about every little bit helps
