Please Help A Needy Family
Leadingpaws, Missouri
We need a little assistance to help us through a rough time. We are a family of 6, my husband, our 4 kids, and myself. My husband has been laid off quite some time and has been feverishly looking for a more reliable job. I am on disability due to Multiple Sclerosis and have been in and out of the hospital a lot recently due to complications of my urostomy. We are doing everything we know to make ends meet but we have fallen a little short. We don't typically ask for much and we have found ways to make a dollar stretch. If you could give us a little help, we would be forever grateful and promise to pay it forward when things get better. Paying it forward means a lot to us. When we purchased a new car a few years back, we gave our old car to a family who really needed a vehicle. Yes, we gave it to them, free and clear. We knew we could have made a few bucks off of the old car but it felt right giving them something they so desperately needed. Now, we have fallen on hard times and hoping someone can help us out with $200-300 this one time. I promise you will not see us asking for anymore money than this onetime. Thank you in advance.

Pensioner about to be made homeless
I am a senior citizen living in rented accomodation. I have a small pension but have now used all my savings to keep a roof over my head. The rent is due soon and I do not have enough money for it, I will be evicted and as I have nowhere to go will become homeless.
I am trying to find a lodger to share the rent with and am doing all i can to find some work to increase my income but none of that will happen before the rent is due.
Please help if you can
I thank you for taking your time to read this.
Tuition Assistance Needed Urgently!
I am currently an undergraduate at the University of South Alabama working toward a Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Technology. I am 9 credits away from moving into Sophomore status and though it has been a struggle pursuing college at my age I am determined to complete my degree in order to enable a better life for me and my children. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend college in the time frames in which many people normally do (meaning when I was younger) because I had other responsibilities to fulfill at that particular time in my life. I do qualify for financial aid and it usually covers my costs but it is not covering my tuition completely for the upcoming Summer semester. I am in need of assistance in order to be able to continue my education. I am $591.00 short. If I do not attend Summer semester, I will no longer qualify for financial aid at all based on the institutions SAP policy. This would basically mean the end of my educational dream completely as I can not in any way afford to pay tuition on my own. I work, but barely make enough to cover the basics for my kids and myself right now. I took some classes off to reduce the overall cost but if I don't take at least two classes, I will not qualify for any of the financial aid at all. I greatly need help in this matter and am asking with the utmost sincerity for someone's help. I just need a little assistance this once. If you do consider helping me and if you have any questions regarding my situation, I would be more than happy to answer them; just ask. Thank you so much for your consideration and may God bless you!

single mom in need
My name is Trisha and I know there are probably a ton of people on here that have a more worthy cause then me, but I am desperate and in need of some help. I am a single widowed mother and have always struggled with finances, however I have always managed to get by. My children have been the best kids anyone can ask for they have never complained about not having the things their friends have. Since my husband took his own life we have not been able to afford anything special that includes birthday gifts or christmas. My kids have never asked for anything and have always understood the situation. Until now, my family is having a family reunion and my kids have let me know they would love to go. I would love to give this to them and make them happy, I feel they more then deserve it. However, I am unable to afford it. The whole trip with transportation and lodging and activities is going to run me about $4000. If there is anyone that can please help me I would so much appreciate it. I really want to see my kids happy. Thank you for your time.
