Family of 6 in Need of Food and Car Repairs I have never online begged before and I am trying it out as one of several last resorts. I am a stay at home father of 4 children. My wife works and I have to stay home because someone needs to watch the kids. (if I worked I would make less then the amount I would pay out in daycare) I would ask our family but they are taped out and have already been giving us money for years now. We make to much money for food stamps so if it was not for the Food Pantry we would be starving right now. We barley make our bills (rent, phone, electric, heat, etc.) I have No idea what we are going to do for Christmas. We don't even have a tree. And presents for the kids are out of the question. Winter is starting and our vehicle has a problem with the 4 wheel drive. It was working all summer but now that we need it for snow and ice the 4 wheel drive is out. Its hard to make due with only one vehicle when the kids have to go to doctors appointments and such. My wife works 1 hour commute away and I have to drive her with the kids back and forth if there is an appointment. This spends the whole day and lots of gas just for one appointment. We have a second vehicle with good 4 wheel drive but the front end needs work at least $1000.00 in work. Because of this I am house bound with all the kids most days. Life is starting to drive me crazy without wheels to at least take the kids some place and have some adult conversation. I find myself going stir crazy being house bound. Even to go to the food pantry my wife had to take time off work so we had wheels and then make up the time later in the week. I feel better just talking about it. Just knowing someone is listing makes me feel at ease. Thank you for your time. Heating Bills We used to live in 600 square feet. I have 4 kids and a wife who works. I stay at home with the kids, saves money on daycare but has long days. We used to live in 600 square feet. Small but cheap to heat. Luckily we are in a village with a large house now. My mother just put the down payment on the house and we pay the mortgage. She is now taped out. The added expense of more room to heat is adding up. Luckily the government and family has helped with some of the added expense for fuel oil ($3.95 per gal) and wood ($60 per face cord). But I don’t know what we are going to do to make it through winter with all this snow falling right now. Thank you for your time. And your donations.

I'm in need of funds to go home for Christmas and see my family. My hours at work just got cut and it's been making it harder to earn enough money to make it back home and still be able to pay my bills. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Need at least $2000 thanks

Hello, living on the streets right now, but SXSW is right around the corner, 150,000 people over 11 days for one of the countries premier events , with the right funding I'll be able to once again be self sufficant , I need about 2500,00 , the event is scheduled for the 2nd week of March, I need the cash a month prior to the event in order to aquire the vending permits , cart and arrange for supplies, any help will be greatly appreciated.

I know that there's people out there who deserve this way more than I do. I understand if no one feels the need to donate because I'm not starving.. but I have been apart from my boyfriend for over 3 years. I need to save up around $2,000 for a plane ticket to Canada. It's not easy. I honestly hate to seem desperate and greedy, but I am at a breaking point in my life right now. I need him more than ever and this time difference and distance is killing me. I can't begin to comprehend how difficult it is to be apart from your significant other. If any of you are in a relationship you might understand how hard it would be to be away from your partner for so long. Any help would go right towards the plane ticket

This to a lot of people may not seem like a worthy cause but please read and see my reasons behind the story and how I got to where I stand today. I am 23 years old and have BAD really bad teeth. I was never taught proper oral hygiene as a child, I remember visiting the Dentist but I was very young. I have only been to the dentist since under emergency circumstances. I have holes in most teeth, but have at least 6+ missing or broken teeth, mainly on view as well. I have abscess after abscess and constant tooth ache. I do currently brush my teeth twice a day, but it's too far gone to make the difference that I need. I can't afford the dental work that I require. I was a smoker (quit 7 weeks ago) not only to stop damaging my teeth even more so, but to save money. In my current situation I'm left with no money at the end of the pay month, the extra money saved from not smoking is currently going towards paying towards getting me out of debt. The debt I am in is only small of around £1000 and I am paying this off as quick as I can. Afterwards any more saved will be put in the pot towards new teeth. I feel that my teeth hold me back in life. I currently work part-time in a call centre, I am very good at my job but know that if they were to ever consider promoting me I would only make it within the head office building, as I would be no good speaking to members of the public or business meetings with other people. The pain is also unreal. I have what seems to be a reoccurring abscess on one side of my face and it often swells up and again make's me even more embarrassed and humiliated. I will often have toothache, nearly everyday it's got to the point where a lot of painkillers make no difference. It turns me into a bad tempered person, and often causes bickering between me and my partner, because I'm just so fed up of the pain. I like to think that I am pretty, but as soon as my mouth opens it ruins the illusion. This makes me withdrawn, unsociable and just not confident at all. I'm often paranoid about what people think of me based upon my teeth, I know when I see other people with bad teeth I often think negative thought's of them as a person, and so know people do the same with me. I'm only 23 and I know that it's only a matter of time before my front teeth fall out. I can't imagine how that will make me feel and I am determined to get this problem sorted out before then. I would really appreciate any contribution big or small to my 'new teeth cause'. Like I said this may not seem worthy to people, but no one understands how bad I feel inside everyday because of my teeth. I do blame myself for not picking up on oral hygiene sooner, but I was never really given any guidance on it. I'm just glad I'm here for my daughter to give her the chance of nice beautiful not painful teeth that I never got.
