Hi. I'm a young man of 34 years, still single, but enjoying life. I was well educated growing up and studied business in college. I've had some recent hard times with the economy just as everyone else has. But I was prepared and was able to survive on money I had saved up. But that wasn't enough, I had to cash in my retirement account in order to still make ends meet. Being the business-minded person I am, I took a hard look at my finances and cut back on every single thing I could. But even then, my expenses still seemed to be more than my income. I requested my student loan payments to be reduced based on economic hardship and found myself borrowing against my credit cards each month in order meet my financial obligations. Now, I've found myself borrowing on one credit card just to make the payment on another credit. I did this just to stay current on my monthly payments so I wouldn't ruin my credit. My credit rating is very important to me and I don't want to risk it being lowered. Right now, here at the beginning of the year, I'm just trying to get a new start on life. I'm wanting to wipe out most of my debt so that I no longer have to worry and be stressed about that day after day and be able to concentrate on the more important things in my life. I've started clearing out a lot of clutter in my life. I've gone through a lot of my storage boxes and getting rid of things I no longer need. I'm selling my car that has been giving me issues since the summer and now needs a repair that will cost over $800. I'm making plans of moving to another part of the country which I feel has a lot more opportunity for me. I want to get more involved in the lives of our youth. I'm starting a website which gives tips on money management and plan to integrate a monthly email newsletter as well. I want to organize local meetups for youth to teach them about money. I was also recently hired as a tutor for an online tutoring company. And I want to get involved with Big Brothers too. I feel that making these plans are the direction I'm being called towards. I feel it's right within my soul. And I feel there will be many positive aspects to this later on the down the road. But the truth is, I'm still in debt. I'm still trying to work on my financial obligations. The tutoring company I was hired with is a new company and was supposed to be live in January. But I was recently told there were some complications with the website and it may not be until March or April before we could start. So that was income I was counting on that's not happening right away. Add to that, I'm in the middle of moving and came across unforseen expenses that I was not expecting. Having no current job, I'm trying to find ways of paying for those. And since I'm moving, it's kind of difficult looking for a job. And since I have no job and no income, I'm really not sure how I'm going to afford a place to live once I do arrive. So, as you can see, even though I've been trying to make some positive moves in my life, it's becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of income and the increase in debt I have. So it would be a great help if you're able to make a small donation. Then I can start moving forward and changing my life for the better. Thanks so much for your consideration.

I lost my job two years ago and want to get a car so I can go back to Colorado.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'm a full-time college student working and trying to make ends meet. I am a faithful "fuzzy", ferret, owner who has come into a bit of a problem though. One of my ferrets has adrenal disease. Now, adrenal disease in ferrets is their adrenal gland becoming hyperactive and producing more hormones than needed. This over production of hormones causes the ferret to lose their fur, become hostile, aggressive, constantly itchy, and switches its’ mind to think that its mating season 24/7 until the glands are removed. Adrenal disease has a tendency to swell up the vulva (in females) and the prostates (in males) resulting in difficulty with urinating and can cause the bladder to explode if urine is not periodically released, and of course that would be fatal. I adopted my ferret Kumo in May 2011, from a ferret shelter and they did not seem to know for sure if he had adrenal disease or not. They just knew that he didn’t have much hair when he arrived at the shelter and so they assumed it was adrenal disease (because usually when a ferret loses a lot of hair that’s a big red flag and indicator for the disease). In the paperwork I have for him, it just says “adrenal disease? “ under the section for medical problems. I was informed that Kumo had taken an implant to make his hair grow back. What they failed to tell me was information on adrenal disease, the name of the implant, and that it needed to be re applied every three months. Around August 2011 I noticed Kumo becoming sexually aggressive and hostile towards my other two ferrets, and marking wherever he went. I researched some information and found his symptoms to be that of a ferret who does have the disease. I also found that there are implants available for ferrets with the disease so I went to my vet and asked to have them injected into Kumo. A few weeks later he started losing more and more fur. In the end, I found out that the implants only mask the symptoms but the disease is still there. The only way to get rid of it is to have the adrenal glands removed. They have two glands and both should be removed during surgery. Unfortunately I do not have the $2,500 dollars for the surgery and Kumo needs it asap or he will die before his time. My two jobs do not pay well so it would take me about 5-6 months to save up the money. He’s going on 4yrs old and with this disease running rampid inside him I don’t think he can hold on much longer. If you can, please help my little white cloud Kumo. Thank you very much.

I'm normally to proud, but I'm asking for help. I have got myself in some trouble which i will admit is my fault but I would say most of you would do the same. So here's the story, My father passed away a while back, I was appointed Executor of the Estate, well I got layed off and didn't have enough to pay my bills, Rather than starve my family out, I used money out of the Estate. I've been trying to put it back for months, but I can seem to work enough hours to save that much. I've tried the bank but I can't get the money. I know if I don't get all the $5000 back in before I have to finalize the estate, I'll probably goto prison. I've never been in any trouble before but it looks like I'm really in it now. I'm sure there are other people worse off than me, If so help them instead of me. I could use some help if you think I deserve it but I'm prepared to suffer the consequences of my actions.
