I realize there are a lot of people in the same situation as me. Times are tough all around. Still, at this point all I can do is ask for help and hope that I might receive it. I have been unemployed since 10/2011. My husband is disabled, and since I was making too much money when I was working, he was ineligible for disability benefits. We are currently in the process of trying to obtain them, but the process is long. We do not know when/if he will be approved. In the meantime, I am enrolled in classes this fall and will receive enough financial aid to cover school and rent. Currently, though, I am 2 months behind on rent. I am fortunate to have a landlord who is willing to work with me to some extent, but I really cannot get more than 2 months behind. I had enough money for rent ($600) but nothing extra in case of emergency. Well, my car broke down. We only have one vehicle these days and cannot be without transportation. I have to be able to get my husband to his various doctor appointments, and public transportation is simply not an option. I also have a 4 year old to care for. I've looked into local programs and agencies, and I have found an agency that offers a rental assistance program, but I cannot even call to talk to anyone there until Tuesday between 5 and 5:30 PM and then, assuming I'm one of the lucky ones to actually talk to someone, there's an intake process and wait. I wish I had the time to wait. I've tried calling local charities, but it's the same situation. You call and wait for a call back. I haven't heard anything yet. Rent is due in 2 days, and I am very worried. If it was just me I'd live in my car for a month, but I have a family to think about, and I only need to get through one more month. Please, if you are able to offer any assistance at all, we would be very grateful. Thank you for reading.

Hi, Thank you for reading my beg. I have a financial turmoil at this time. I am a student and I lost my job 4 months ago.

I am a single mom, like a million other women out there and I am really struggling right now. I have not received a child support payment in over 4 months and even before that they were very irregular. I am getting more and more behind on my bills every month. I am almost $1000 behind on my rent and $200 behind on the water bill. I am renting a small 1 bedroom apartment and my son sleeps in the bedroom which leaves me on the couch. In the last month, we have been scraping by on food because I simply cannot afford to buy enough groceries to make it. I was cut off from food stamps because they now say that I make too much money (they are counting the child support I am SUPPOSSED to be getting.) I could really use some help in getting caught up on the rent and other bills. I am doing the very best that I can to support myself and my son. I do not party or do drugs. I don't squander my money. I just really cannot seem to keep up right now. I feel a little guilty for "begging" online. But, I can assure you that I have had better times and helped a lot of people in those good times. I will have good times again, and I will certainly pay it forward. I do not have any family that can help and I really do not want to be homeless with my son. We have been there in the past and I would be so ashamed if I had to put my son in that situation again. The last few years have been very difficult for us and he deserves a good home. Please help us keep a roof over our heads.

AMIGOS ESTOU PASSANDO POR SÉRIOS PROBLEMAS FINANCEIROS, POIS SE NÃO FOSSE MINHA MÃE ESTARIA PIOR. MINHA MULHER ESTA GRAVIDA DE 4 MESES E ESTOU PRECISANDO MUITO DE RECURSOS FINANCEIRO PARA AJUDAR A MANTER MINHA FAMÍLIA. ESTOU SENDO MUITO SINCERO. PRECISO MUITO DE SUA AJUDA... ABRAÇOS...

I'm going to be straight up honest. I just got an apartment and I had to pay the deposit, early move in fee as well as next month's fee all together. The total came to about $900. I also had to buy a bed for my apartment since I didn't have one. I got a bed with the money my mother gave me. I felt really bad taking my mom's money because I know she needs it since I know how much debt she's in. I would really love to pay her back. My debit card has around $200...saving that money for electricity bill since I have to pay a deposit for it. My credit card I have around $1200 in it and would like to reduce it and not spend on it anymore. The debt increased due to... a friend of mine's wedding was 2 hours away so I got my car checked to make sure it's fine. All my tires were terrible and was advised to get new tires. I did that and the total cost for everything from oil change to alignment cost me $600. Also, I need my eye prescription renewed, it expired more than 7 months ago. I've been wearing my contacts for those 7 months and really need to get prescription renewed, I'm so very broke right now and any money would be appreciated. I got a job starting July 2nd and won't receive any payment until mid July. Majority of the things I need to pay for like bills, have to come from a debit card and not credit card. $200 would be a good start for me and I'd hopefully be able to deal with the rest on my own. Thanks.
