Struggle for the new year. . , Cambridge Ontario
my name is Adam I live in Cambridge Ontario, I am a middle child with an older brother and younger sister. We pretty much grew up in Orangeville for 26 years. Two houses during that time my parents had, my sister has bought in the old homestead and is carrying it on to this day. After our father retired last year. The family pretty much split up from Orangeville. My brother moving north, parents moving West, and my sister carrying on in Orangeville. Before this we were pretty family oriented seeing, and speaking daily. We lived in the same house a lot of years.
I am a father of two married to Jamie ,we have a4 year old daughter. I have an 11 year old that lives in Brampton. We are working class people medium income I'm a woodworking furniture. My wife is a PSW at an old age home working the baths shift. she gets up every morning goes in to bathe the old people and get them down for breakfast. She's a very devoted woman. The only reason that she knew she could do the job was she took care of her mother for the last year and a half when she was terminal. The only reason she knew she could do it because she could do it with her own mother. my wife has had a pretty rough life. Her mother raised her by herself her father was in and out. Her sister passed away when she was 6 years old I'm juvenile luckemia. Her mother proceeded on. Her father was still in and out until committing suicide two years after her sister died. Leaving another part missing from my wife's life. Then years later her mother remarried. Being married for 5 years prior to her passing. Her stepfather disowned us when our daughter was one when She pass away. recently he pass of cancer as well leaving my wife a thousand dollars. Which was funny because her stepsister God 10000 a new car and a trip to Jamaica when my wife's mother pass. So we move to Cambridge 3 years ago on her own to step off.
My family is completely broke right now. We have been screwed over by my ex. Took three quarters of my pay. Bills are piling up . We actually have no spending money till December 11th. I need your help please. My family is me , my wife and four year old daughter. We have borrowed money's to eat for the next two weeks. We're minus 1200$ because bills came out, but my pay is only 1050$ so we're screwed. I'm a finisher in a furniture factory , my wife is a nurse. Both working full time.
We need help, its what we live everyday.
My wife is beyond stressed out and we have exhausted the options we have
but the reason why I'm contacting you. If I ever had a billion dollars this is what I do. There is a lack of affordable housing in Canada for the average working person. I would start subdivisions like the war houses where. Where the houses are only like a thousand to 1500 square feet only the space you actually need where the Houses what only be around $100,000 which would be affordable for the regular person. Providing multitude of families what houses they can afford. How was this today are way too huge for anyone to afford.helping everyday people would be my mission food shelter and just basic essentials.
besides the other ideas I have in my head,for inventions, perpetual motion electric generators. Three-wheeled pedal cars 4 congested traffic areas. And so on I am pretty creative person artistically and problem solving . if we had a billion dollars, with my construction experience, anddetermination and my wife's heart and Passion for life. we can make a real difference in this world.
for I truly believe the difference between possible and impossible lies within a man termination.
if anyone actually take the time to read this thank you very much that's what I honestly believe
Sincerely
Adam and family
Debt
I'm a single mom of a daughter of six and I need money for my house payments and my monthly bills.
We\'re broke
I've been lucky enough to have a job in the same industry for almost 7 years now- but in the last 6 months my hours have been cut significantly. Around the same time all of that started happening my husband's step father passed, leaving his mother holding a lot of debt and a house in the midst of construction. He's the oldest son and the only one still in the area, so it feel on him to fix things and help her through the situation. Had just one of these things happened I'm pretty confident we could have muddled through and scraped by, but with both piled up there's nothing left to scrape and bills are still unpaid. Any help at all would be amazing. Honestly we'd be fine if someone would buy our truck, but after listing it on multiple sites for 3 months now and we're out of time. Thanks for reading the whole thing, I do appreciate it.
Rent
I'll be frank, a lot of my current issues are my own fault. I own up to it, and I don't expect much outta this. This month has been rough on me.
I've had to deal with emergency car repairs thanks to brake issues (mostly calipers). And some of you know how much that costs. On top of that, I've made the mistake of trying to help those when I'm already scratching and clawing to get by. Now I have to pay rent and make sure I have enough to move out since the decided to up my rent by $225 for a renewal. All the while I'm berating myself for making the choices I did. But I don't have the luxury to sit here and feel sorry for myself. Yes, it's stupid of me, and like I said I brought this on myself.
I live pay check to pay check, and any hiccup that comes up is bound to shake things up. This has been my life for a good five years now. I thank anyone willing to throw some bootstraps my way.
Recording Equipment is Expensive
Friend at work has a band. They play locally and would like to expand. But... Studio Recording is way too expensive. Instead they've asked me if I could record with a computer. One could... With Ableton Software and a few pieces of Hardware.
So here I come, on my knees, begging for about 1,000-1,200 dollars to get every thing they would need to make their CD so they can play bigger and better places.
