Dear People who help people in need How does a polar bear weight, enough to break the ice :) Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Please can you help me financially as I am in hardship? I have fallen on tough times and am in despair. I have lost my job as a plumber with a back problem from a car crash that happened last October and find it hard to go self employed and have used most of my money trying to go self employed and it's hard to care for myself and pay my bills. I would be grateful if you could give me financial help in the part of sum of ￡500 so I can enroll in a IT course which has a guaranteed job at the end. I try to keep my family happy but i can't see my family when i'm like this.can you please but a smile back on me because i was a very happy out going guy. Your generosity would make such a difference to my life Thank You P.S Even A 10 Pounds donations would help me alot. thank you

I am begging for donations to help pay my utilities, car payment and rent. I live on disability after losing my job due to a back injury. I am going to be shameless about this cuz I have just about had enough of needing money for this and that and worrying about having the phone turned off or the electric bill or having them come take my car. Every month is a nightmare of counting days till the next thing is due or goes wrong. I have a wonderful daughter who needs tuition paid every month. I want a million dollars so I can live in comfort. Not recklessly but enough so I can also give some to my relatives who are also scraping. It sucks to be poor and I am asking and believing and am positive there are kind generous souls out there to help me. I have worked real hard all my life and there's got to be more to it than this crap.. Thanks to all. Think positive!!!

I am currently unemployed and I don't have the resources to start ( seed money ). Raising capital in this region is difficult . if you don't have a full time Job and collateral to show for repayments. I would appreciate the donors for any amount of money to help me venture my business.

These past few months have been very hard for us. With my fathers passing, my sister and I had to take care of most of all the expenses. My mother is now alone and with almost no income, we have been taking care and provinding for her. Now my wife due to give birth to our daughter and I am worried because I was only able to save a very small amount of money. I am hoping that a few kind souls can help us out in this time of need.

I'm here to get help with getting my life back in order and to try to give my family a better life. My Cancer Story. My cancer story began almost seven years ago when I found a tiny lump in my right breast. Back then I let it go because no one in my family ever had cancer so I didn't worry about it. For three years it stayed small and by that time i was in denial and I continued to let it go. The next two years it started getting bigger and I was afraid to go to the doctor and ashamed that I had let it go for so many years and I was still in denial. In 2010 it was really big and I had made up my mind that after Christmas of that year I would go get it checked out. Well I finally worked up the courage in Feb. 2011. What I didn't know was there was another lump that I couldn't feel and by that time I had developed stage 3 cancer. In Feb 2011 I was told I had breast cancer. Stage 3/A. On March 1st(my grandmother's birthday) I had my right breast removed and 19 lymph nodes removed from under my arm. In April 2011 I started 6 months of chemo treatments and after that I did 6 weeks of radiation. I think I finished up everything in Jan. 2012. What my life is like now......my hair has come back thank goodness. I don't have to go to the doctor all the time. The tingling in my hands and feet has almost gone away and food taste so good now. The bad things that I'm left with are aches and pains in my joints and bones. Limited use of my right arm. The loss of a few teeth. In a way I lost a since of innocences. I know that sounds crazy but before cancer I was never sick. I had two babies and that was the extent of my hospital stays. Had the flu twice in my life but that was about it. Cancer is a awful thing but it can be beat. The other things that I'm left with are mixed feelings. I feel stronger because I survived but I guess I'm still angry sometimes. I still feel shocked that it happened to me. Please don't be afraid to go to see a doctor. If I had went when I first found my lump, I would not have lost my breast. I would give anything to turn back time to that moment and been brave and had the guts to go. And please have your mammograms. I struggle every month to keep food on the table and to pay bills and get my daughter clothes. I draw a disablility check but it's not enough to live off of sometimes. I also want to get a car so I can maybe go back to school and go back to work. My address is 700 Highland St., Asheboro NC 27203. Also I use coupons. So those would be great to get. Any money saving ideas or suggestions would be helpful. If you want to just write me a letter I will send one back. I would love to have some penpals because my social life is limited. Not looking for any romances just friends who have been in my shoes or are going through the same thing as I did. I love getting things in the mail. Its so fun and would have been great when I was doing chemo because I didn't feel like socializing at the time. Chemo is the worst thing I've ever had to do and I pray that some day no one will ever have to experience it.
