I worked hard all my life, made some stupid desisions in the 90s and caught HIV. I never knew I was ill and finally ended up in icu with menengitis and almost died. I survived but lost everthing and now have to panhandle to make it. It isnt good for my health but I have a 9 yr old son and I try and do what I can. I was a US Marine and worked for 28 years but had to stop at the age of 45. I know there are so many people in financial distress. I have tried the VA but only to be let out the door with zero help besides medication to keep me alive. I used to own a nice house and an electrical business but am now broke, sick and desperate for anything. I never thought I would end up having to beg but it is what it is and being an ex Marine and Irish I will fight till Im dead no matter how sick or destutute I become. I am borrowing this computer to write this but I feel I have no choice but to ask for help so can give my body a rest. My son looks at me like he knows Im not well and I try but he knows Im really sick. I just need anything really, a dollar, a jacket whatever helps. Thanx for looking Dave

My name is Thomas and I am in dire need of financial help. Right now I am seeking help for my Bi-Polar disorder, Hep C, Severe Visual, Psychiaric, Diabetes and other physical disorders. I got into legal problems a little over 10 years ago in NY due to financial problems and I also had a new born and I couldn’t provide for her which lead me to more illegal activities. I am attending a daily program and I also see a therapist weekly to help me with my psyc problems. I was denied ssi and ssd twice. I have been homeless many many times and I have been hospitalized more than 10 times. Please, can someone please help me so I can get my dental and visual problems fixed and so that I can get the clothing and other things I need to try to find a job. Right now all I have is a ged that I got while I was incarcerated for stealing to support my new born. Please contact me 914-216-5371 or tjpadilla37@yahoo.com. I am in White Plains, NY

Greetings, I know in this day and age the web is chalked full of scam and thieves. There are a few down on their luck no so well off hard working truthful folks out here. I am one of those folks! To give some background on myself. I am 36 a Father to one biological daughter Step Father to three Daughters. I am employed full time at a local company. I have at times also worked a part time job during the day in addition to my 40hr a week over night position. Since 2008 I have been layed off twice and gone through bankruptcy. Over the years I have reached out to the state for assistance but was told I make to much! Seriously unemployment pays to much?!! Well thats lifes way of saying ultimately your on your own in this world? I am asking my fellow man to help me. My family needs clothes vehicle repairs and a boost up. I hope to raise $8,000 no more or no less of what I need to get afloat. I ask from my heart for assistance. Warm Regards, A Fellow Man

Hello, Well, this is embarrassing, but for the sake of my children I am doing it anyway. I have a problem with bailiffs. My husband left me and also left me with all his unpaid debts as well as three children to support. I lost my job a year ago and have not been able to find another yet, although I have been trying. I am on benefits, but they do not cover the debts or the mortgage payments I need to make. I am trying to sell the house, and the mortgage company are being fairly reasonable, but even so, if I do not sell in time, I will also lose my house. If I can sell, I can pay my debts and move into rented with some money left over. But that’s a long shot in the current market. However, the most urgent problem is the bailiffs. They are demanding immediate payment of £2,020 (approx $3,300 USD) or they will take my possessions to auction to cover the debt. It’s a joke, my paltry possessions will not cover the debt, but they will take them anyway. The longer the debt goes unpaid, the more “interest” they are adding to the bill and they refuse to take instalments, saying my husband broke the original agreement with them and now it’s too late for that. Unfortunately, they are legally allowed to do this, (since we had an earlier agreement with them and they have what is called a levy on the house contents) as well as intimidate, threaten and even break into my house to collect my stuff. It’s a frightening situation. I am afraid to answer the door in my own home and I have had to tell the kids not to either, because they are not above forcing their way in past them. I have tried the police, but they say it’s all legal and they cannot help me, even if these men break in (in fact, they will help THEM to do so, because I owe the money) It’s unbelievable, but it’s true. I have even asked the help of a solicitor, but he says the same thing, unless the law is changed, there is nothing he can do. No one appears to be trying to find my husband, and I do not have the resources to look. I hate having to ask, but I am terrified of these men. I can’t eat or sleep and I am worried about the effect this is having on the kids. I hope there is someone (or several people maybe) who can help me out of this mess I have been left with. Thank you for your time.
