I'm 15, Please hear me out, my family has been going through some rough times, I lost my father 7 years ago, And there is normally a lot of dispute around the family, But something we have wanted to do for a long time is to buy the house we a living in, It would really help, Even just a little bit would help. Thanks.

How do you know when to ask for help? After you are sitting in the dark with your 13yr old son? After you have sold all your belongings to try to pay some of your bills? After you find out you have to have an emergency hysterectomy because your kidneys are going to start shutting down? Ok well now that all of the above has bee done in our house I guess now it's time to ask for money. I have family. I have a good family but none that is able to support us during the time it will take to have the surgery and the recovery time. Where do you go for help? What do you do? My son said he is happy to get a job which broke my heart. He's only 13! http://www.gofundme.com/9hysterectomy02n5c I started a gofundme site because someone told it may help. 5.00 is more than we have now. I had a friend in Florida FedEx us some food. Wow how do you even say thank you for that??!! People around here can't or won't help. I live in a very small town and I think it's because people begged for help who didn't really need it. That's insane. So here we are...what to do now? I prayed for God to take my pride away and he has which is what brings me here. Am I venting? Probably. It's tough for me because to think that my son has to go through this now just hurts my heart. His father is on his way to prison for attempted murder. He used to beat my son and now we're in a great place. After my son overcoming all that he still has a heart of gold. He has such a sweet spirit. He has a forgiving heart which is why he said he don't mind whatever happens here. But I want better for him. At least to have the lights on. That too much to ask? I don't think so. He's been kind, he's been obedient. He's forgiving. He's all the things the Lord has asked him to be so then is it me that has not been the same? Is that why he is to suffer now? Wow that hurts my heart even more. I don't question God and don't misunderstand, I'm not questioning him now....I just feel as though I have and continue to let my son down in more ways then I know how to correct.

I came to Ireland to study and work, as I was told it was a good destination if you want to experience life abroad: cheap, with good wages and stuff. I spent a lot of money coming here, but the reality I found was completely different from what I was told. First problem I faced was the shortage of places to rent and consequently high prices on shitty rooms. The money I had lasted almost five months with no luxury. Rent, food and that was it. I had no luck with jobs either. Though I have a good level of English, I barely got interviews for work. In the first job I got I was sacked for no reason and they didn't even pay all the money they owed me. I found another job and after six weeks I got sick and missed two days of work, when I came back I had no job anymore. I kept looking for a job with no success and I'm coming back in a month. Luckily, I came here with a flight back, but I have no money to buy another ticket or change the date of the one I have - and I can't either, since I have things to solve here. My parents managed to send me some money a couple of months ago, but they can't send more. With high accommodation expenses, medical expenses and food, any money I made working and sent by my parents ended quickly. Aside that, I had some money stolen. My current situation is: I have around 10 euros and that's it. I'm crashing at a place with a guy I know, but I have to pay to stay here and anyway I can only stay until next Saturday, after that I'll have to find a hostel or another place to crash. I have asked help for everybody I could and my very few friends have done for me what they could - letting me crash at their place, letting me do my laundry and even sharing food with me, but I can't ask more. I don't have anything to sell, I have no talent or skills to busk or something and I'm not willing to prostitute. I've been trying to find a way to get some quick cash at least to have a shelter this week, but I can't find a solution. I'm really stuck here, I can't go home and I might be on the streets soon.
