My only reason for begging is that I have hit a period in my life where I'm at a lost for answers and resources. I'm a struggling educator with five children looking for as much assistance as God will allow.

Hello, my name is Angelina. I would like to tell my situation. I admit that I'm pretty lucky and there's people in much worse situations but I need help. I have been whittling a $16,000 school loan down to $11,500 over the past few years. I am 28 years old and I do not make enough to live on my own. I am not ashamed to say that I still live with my parents because they too are going through hard times and just trying to keep afloat. I get $16 every month from food stamps but that's not enough for me let alone help my parents.I help them anyway I can. My mom has arthritis and symptoms of carpal tunnel so I help her with tasks. My car is going to die soon. I have been taking good care of it but all the little things that are wrong are adding up. I finally got dental insurance from my work and went to the dentist. After getting xrays they said all the work will be $2,600. I just stared at him and then asked if there are any payment plans available. He said all they offer is a dental credit card. I mulled on that thought all week . Recently, one of my metal caps popped off and splice right through the filling underneath. So as of today, I applied for the card. I'm scared because before I was just making due but now I don't know how I'm going to do this. If I look for a second job, my first job will cut my hours if I change my availability . I found you on Begslist and I would like to say thank you for giving me a few minutes in your busy day to read my story. Nothing is too small, I would gladly accept advice.

I am hoping someone out there can help my family! My husband and I own a restaurant and the last few months have been more than rough. The restaurant hasn't been making a profit and we are behind on our bills. We have been doing everything we can to make sure our employees keep their jobs during the holidays which has meant that we are unable to pay ourselves. We have two kids and for the first time don't have any money to get them Christmas gifts let alone pay our rent and bills. I have never asked for a hand out from strangers but am really desparate! I am too embarassed to put our name on here in case our friends or family see this but we are good people that are just in a bad place right now. If you are in a position to help us, even if it's just a little, my family would be very grateful! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
