I never thought in a million years that I would be doing something like this but here I am. I am trying desperately to raise funds to save our home from foreclosure. My husband and I are just your average American family but this economy and some tough medical problems have taken its toll on us like so many others. Over the last four years we have both lost our parents and both battled personal medical problems. My husband is self employed in the construction industry and even though things are picking up now the last couple of years there just was very little work. We personally built our home 10 years ago and drove in every nail and painted every wall ourselves. Unless we raise money to get up to date on our mortgage we will lose the home that we have worked so hard to keep. If you could please find it in your heart to help us there are no words that could express our gratitude. I promise if you help us that I will pay it forward given the first opportunity that I have. Thank you and God Bless~

My mom had surgery for her brain tumor twice throughout her life in America when she came in 1985 from Poland. 1987 was her first surgery and her most recent surgery was in 2003 and she is unable to work or drive due to her frequent seizures and must always carry her pills that stabilize her seizures. In 2005 when my brother Mike had graduated high school he became ill and came to find out that he had a brain tumor just like my mom, and also brain cancer. He went through chemo and survived through his ordeal but was never the same young man that we knew as he once was before his surgery, and is currently unable to work. The brain is a serious matter and it has serious effects. My father never gave up as medical bills began to soar very high, and he cancelled his 401k plan and years later paid off all the bills but didnt have much left. 2 years later he injured his back and wrist working as a truck driver and medical bills soared high aswell, considering my father was the only one working at our household this was a huge factor in our life. He became disabled and is unemployed to this day receiving only income from his long-term disability insurance along with my brother Michael's Social Security Income and his food stamps that he qualified for. I have been living in an hour away from home along with my brother Matt attending college with the help of finacial aid but back home it is just my father, mother and brother Mike. We all help each other but now it has gotten to the point where bills are bringing us down. I'm a 20 year old that has more honor than begging and I know my dad would not approve of this but maybe there is someone out there who can help us out. Thank you and god bless. Contact me at edward_zura@yahoo.com if not sure. I'm sure you understand that putting all my info out here is not a good idea so please contact

My family was young starting out, no family support or anyone to help with providing knowledge or assistance with buying our home. About a year or two ago we started getting behind on our mortgage and wasn't sure why. Come to find out we were ripped out by the bank. It took a lot of strength for us to just say forget it because it's almost as if we hadnt paid anything on the mortgage. But we are having to move sooner than we thought and just need a little assistance with our deposits. We are lacking $600. I truly hope that someone could assist. Thank you so much for your time.

I'm in need os some assistance. My long time boy friend left decided he wanted to move on and we have a child together which left a heavy burden on me financially. I am working at this time but do not make enough money to cover the bills alone and just got paid last week and all went towards bills. Right now I am so over whelmed and looking for donations for things like gas, food, and mostly help with rent for July which is $985. I'm already late so far. I'm trying to hold together what I have left. Any amount would be appreciated.

i beg because i cannot afford to go on a vacation
