It's gotten to the stage where these days, all you get is a "Aw, I'm sorry to hear that" when your job is sent overseas, and you're left to fend for your sorry self. Not only did the company who made me redundant leave me with no money, but the products I also was buying off them as a customer I had to cancel, thus incurring a larger debt. Then I had to move back home, and organise all of my other debts. Today my debts stand at $10'000AUD at least, and I'm hiding away in my bedroom from debt collectors and other nasties. This shouldn't be happening to me. I dreamt so big, and now I've fallen so far. I need this, because it's my last hope to get back on track.

I'm a 28 year old man and for the first time have found myself in a seemingly hopeless financial situation. I no longer have a job and cannot find anyone who will hire me. I've sent out hundreds of resumes and job applications and have had no luck. My bank account is drained. I'm down to my last $100 bucks and rent is past due as are all my other bills and there's no income!! I have no family to turn to for help. I can't sleep at night, have no appetite, and have more than once considered just jumping off the roof of my building! I intend to make it though someway, somehow. I am completely desperate at this point. If something doesn't happen in the next couple weeks, I'm going to be on the street; and the streets of LA are not where I want to be! I absolutely hate having to ask for money, but I'm desperate. If you've ever been in a situation such as this and can sympathize; then please help. Even the smallest amount will be tremendously appreciated. Thank You!

I am currently a business student at a University in San Diego, California. My tuition has become hard to pay and most of my money goes to the University and to my housing expenses. Things have not been easy and all I need is some help so that not only will I be able to cope with all this costs but also realize a dream of opening my own small business. With some help I will have that money to get my small business up and running and I will be able to put in practice what I am learning at school. Last year was thought for me. My father died and since then I've been struggling to just get by. My mom has to take care of my younger brother who is only 15 and I feel awful having her send me 1000 dollars every month that she cannot afford and it doesn't always cover all I need. Since my dad died I sold my car, many of my personal items at home just to raise some cash to get me through a few months. But now Im growing desperate on what to do. And thats how I searched and found this place. My school schedule keeps me busy all week and I am also working at the library every day to get a little discount on my tuition and the time at the library allows me to get my studies done as well. I have a student loan that allows me to pay as little as just 350 per month, my rent is about 500. The remaining 150 goes to monthly bus tickets, food, electricity and my home phone bill. But I need help. Please. I don't know what else to say. I need help. And one day when I am graduated, with a job, a career, with perhaps my own business being very successful I will return this favor to someone else who needs help going through school as well. Thanks,

Hello, My husband recently passed away on the 30th of March. I am a 35 yr old nursing student. I am struggling to make ends meet. Anything that you can donate would be much appreciated! God Bless!

I am currently working, but with rising expenses it is hard to make ends meet. Most of the time our account is in the RED. With, paying the mortgage, insurance, school for my two boys. I have been force financially to work away from home. It has got so bad that after we pay the bills I cannot afford to come home and see my wife and boys. I have negotiated a payment plan to purchase an online business in a hope to change our finances around, but have no money left over to run the business and I am using my mates internet as well to write this. I need at least $900 to keep this going. I've got no choice but to make it work. Your help would be appreciated
