Hello thank you for taking the time to listen to my situation. My name is Joe I am a 28 year old married father of 2 daughters. My oldest is 3 years old and my youngest is 7 months old. I was a call center worker for 12 years and did mostly sales, collections, and customer service. About 2 years ago I started getting ill after moving into a apartment. I am a asthmatic and the 1st year after moving in to my apartment I got bronchitis 7 times, Pneumonia 2 times, 2 colds, 1 flu and mono. I quickly used up all my sick time and had also used up all my FLMA time. One day I had to go to the hospital from work and my employer fired me for it. I filed for unemployment and won but my Pulmonologist recommended that I find some other work then call center work due to my respiratory problems. I have a anxiety disorder and recently found out why. I was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid and I have a small cyst or growth on my thyroid gland. I started experiencing uncontrolled anxiety and fatigue. I went to counseling for the anxiety but it didn’t help much. I recently moved out of the apartment that was possibly the cause of some of my respiratory problems because we found mold in the hallway outside of our apartment and believed it was in the building too. I have continued to become frequently ill and my fatigue, anxiety, and asthma are making it impossible for me to find a job. I can’t get disability for my asthma because my O2 levels are not low enough. We moved into a doublewide manufactured home we bought this with a small settlement I received after a truck ran off the road and hit me when I was putting my then 2 year old into her car seat. I was injured but she luckily was ok. The other driver took off on foot. This happened this winter and even after that I have suffered extreme fatigue. Our old car was totaled out and the car we replaced it with turned out to be a lemon. In less than 3,000 miles it blew the transmission and the rear axel broke. It over heated, and we also replaced the battery, 2 pulleys, and the AC went out. We spent over $4000 in the different repairs on the car and used all of the money from what we had left from the settlement we were going to use to replace the original roof of our house from 1988. Our roof has already had leaks and needs to be replaced My wife is trying to find work but she has seizures and can’t drive. My wife has only had 2 jobs her whole life and is having a hard time finding work. Now we are in trouble because we have no income and bills keep coming. My parent’s just filed for bankruptcy and cant help us and my wife’s parents are unemployed. We need help with our bills and to pay for our basic need’s Our bills are as followed. Lot Rent 410.00 per month Water/trash/sewer $100.00 approximately per month. Phone and internet for two cell phones $150.00 (my wife and 3 year old have seizures and need a cell phone). Car and home owner insurance $154.00 per month. Power bill between $100-$300 per month (I live in phoenix, AZ and it gets hot). We also are paying $100.00 per month to pay the fee for breaking the lease at the apartment that was causing me to get sick so often. We still owe $1,100.00 To put a new roof on our house will cost about $4,000 I wish I never had medical problems so I didn’t have to ask for help. I ask you please if you can help us in any way it would mean so much to us. Thank you so much, Joe and family

my Senegal parrot needs a vet. I can't afford one. I know I could just get a new one but I've had him for 10 years almost 11. the average life span is 50 years but if I don't get him to a vet he won't make it that long. I love this bird so much. he brought so much joy into my life. please help my parrot live his whole life. I don't know what I'd do without him he is my baby. The reason he needs a vet is because he has been consuming too much food with iron for some animals this may kill them. his name is Hugo he is 13 years old his birth day is August the 1ST. I cant put it into words how grateful I'd be

I'm not gonna give you another friggin sob story to listen to...yes, I'm a broke just-graduated-from-college girl but that's ok, I'm trying to make it work, everyone's gotta struggle a little in my opinion. BUT I would really like to get some boobs, since I was a little girl I've been *waiting* for them to arrive, well they're still not friggin here! Which means I've gotta take matters into my own hands, SO I'd really like to get some for my 24th B-day, February 1st. So in addition to my 3 jobs, I'm trying to "FUNdraise," if you will...I would REALLLLLLLY appreciate any donations! Help me make the world a *bustier* place!

I am a 37 y/o veteran, husband and father of three who is currently in school working towards my doctorate. I am willing to stop school to get a job, but after contacting 100's of jobs with applications/ phone calls I have had no luck. I am behind on most of my bills, and winter is quickly approaching. I hate to have to beg, but the US has left me with few options to support my family. It is either this, or I go out and rob people/stores to survive. When I get my degree, I promise to pay it forward. I am a humanitarian who is down on their luck and needs a little bit of help. Anything you can offer is better than nothing. Thank you for looking at my post and God bless.

With all the income we do have going towards bills, we've barely had enough to even purchase toilet paper, let alone for food. We are struggling greatly as a family and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help, we need you. Sincerely, The Lewis Family.
