My name's Bee. The past two years I have been ill. My partner looked after me the whole time. Last year his dad died leaving his mum on her own. My partner is German so I moved to Germany with him so he can help his mum out. I am on the road to recovery now, but its a long path, the amount of money I bring in is miniscule. My partner works 6 long days a week bringing in just enough money for us to stay in a small flat with his mum. We want to get married and have kids, but we are wise, and know we shouldn't do this until we can afford to bring them up. This seems like it could never happen at this rate though. My health means I can only work a little, a short trip to the shop leaves me exhausted and wrecked, let alone a full day's work. I do try, and I apply endlessly on sites like PeoplePerHour to get online or work from home jobs. Our dream is to open an English coffee shop here in Germany. There is nothing like that here. My boyfriend thinks more about the flexibility of working hours and a nice relaxed atmosphere to work in; I think about this too, but love dreaming of all the little things like British crockery and fresh tea as well as homemade cakes and scones! Joint to our little tea or coffee shop we would like to run something for kids, like an after school club, weekend club and somewhere also where kids from kid's homes can come (for free) to do something. We are thinking along the lines of crafty stuff, making cool things, being creative and expressing themselves. Here in Germany there is loads of focus on sports, there's always loads of kids groups out jogging, but I feel sorry for those children that aren't into that, there's not much here for them. Me and my partner are happy living within our means, we enjoy encouraging others and being around other people. We have been through too much and we, but especially my boyfriend, need a break. So yes, essentially I am asking for money. A loan, I don't know, it would be nice to repay someone who could give us a chance, but honestly, I don't know how long that would take. My pride is damaged in asking for money, but what can I do. I might as well try. If some wealthy person out there reads this, well, I am no fraud, I am a bit fed up, I need to find a way so that the two of us can start to lead a positive life. If you are worried about giving me money (should anyone think that far) then you could just buy a shop here in Jena, where we are! Life has dealt us a really tough few hands over the last few years and we could do with a helping hand. Thank you for reading if you got this far. I know there are others out there in worse conditions than me, but if you don't ask, you don't get. Thanks again, Bee. (Anyone that does help us out would obviously be getting free tea and scones :))

Hi All, My daughter and I are in a great bind right now. We both collect S.S. Disability and we never have enough money to pay all of the bills and get the things that we need. So any extra money is out of the question. I finally got a car this year after not having one for five years, one was given to us. Well my car broke down Monday morning. A friend of mine had me get it towed to her car repair place. With them knowing her and her husband they let me go on a payment plan. But, I have no idea how I'm going to come up with the payments? The total bill came to $962.49. I don't know what I'm going to do? We need our car to get to the Dr. and to go grocery shopping, etc. We really could use some help! I pick and dig at my skin from stress and nerves. My arms , face and body is full of raw open sores. They are very painful, but I can't stop picking at them. I wish that we could get rid of some of our stress. If there is anyone out there that can or would help us, we would be forever greatful!! I have no family to ask for help. We are more less all alone. Thank you so much for reading this. I pray we find some angels to help us. Take Care!!

just turned 18 and i have gotten kicked out so i need money for a place to stay until i can find a job to support myself

Hi I have filled in a few of these begging forms asking for help, you see I am a single mother, I am also disabled and I have 3 children - I have explained in my other posts about my health and the fact I am unable to work due to my poor health - I have asked for peoples help because I can no longer cope with what's getting thrown at me - It's been one thing after another and I'm not sure how much longer I can cope with things - Stress makes my illness worse so I am in constant pain - They say things come in three's but I have had more like 5 things break on me - My oven has broken and now my Tumble Dryer has packed up, I can't afford to fix my car and I need a mobility scooter so I can get out the house ( which I'm not doing at the moment because I can't walk far ) so I am once again pleading for some help - Even if it's just a £1 here or there it would make all the difference to me and my family ... Many Thanks for reading this .. Petals

I've run out of options. I filed bankruptcy last year. My credit is in the high 300's, meaning I can't borrow my way out of this. How I got here - Slot machines in my town. The sounds, sights and action of them sent my endorphins racing. I couldn't stop myself. I would stop at the Casino several times a week. I lived paycheck to paycheck, but my checking account was always in the negative, because I would overdraw to go to the casino. How I am helping myself - I put myself on the state's voluntary casino exclude list. If I am caught entering or in a casino, I am immediately arrested and fined at least $500. Any winning would be confiscated. This has kept me out of them. It was the only way. I'm trying to rebuild my life - if it takes a dollar at a time, so be it. Any help would be appreciated to the max.
