Hello, living on the streets right now, but SXSW is right around the corner, 150,000 people over 11 days for one of the countries premier events , with the right funding I'll be able to once again be self sufficant , I need about 2500,00 , the event is scheduled for the 2nd week of March, I need the cash a month prior to the event in order to aquire the vending permits , cart and arrange for supplies, any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am really struggling to make ends meat right now. I had £10,000 of Credit Card debt run up just paying bills and a few years of stupidity spending beyond my means. I have been slowly getting myself back on my feet. I have managed to get this debt down to £4600 as of 4th Dec 2012 by living on the bread line but I am really struggling to keep a roof over my head. I work full time and overtime to get by and really must remove this debt from my head to allow me to restart my life. I have fell upon some extremely difficult financial times from being stupid. Nothing more nothing less and its a life lesson learned. I am not one to EVER ask for help but I guess there is a first for everything I have come up with an idea that means you don`t have to donate to me to actually donate to me. How you may ask ? By using the auction site ebay. Everyone at one point of another buys from this site. Below is a link that if you copy and paste it in your browser will mean that if you buy something or anything from ebay I would receive a tiny percent of their profits via a cash back scheme. Its only pennies but every little will go a long way. Its not much but its a start. Millions of people worldwide are using this site and if a few people used this link before purchase it would track the purchase and the percentage ebay take for their fees would give me a little cut and in no way affect your purchase. Please please if using ebay give this link a copy and paste and through time may an internet giant clear my feet. As soon as everything is paid off. If this seems like too much effort a small donation would certainly help. Below is the link, please copy and paste whole thing to your address bar and it will link purchase to my cashback. Please help and tell a friend who uses ebay. www.topcashback.co.uk/redirect.aspx?mpurl=ebay&instant=False&url=http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?customid=313871&type=1&campid=5335816978&toolid=10001 or try clicking the blue text below. http://www.topcashback.co.uk/redirect.aspx?mpurl=ebay&instant=False&url=http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?customid=313871&type=1&campid=5335816978&toolid=10001 I

I'm a firefighter in Texas with two kids and a wife going to school. In February, while training forcible entry (breaking down doors), I tore a ligament in my left wrist. Although workman’s comp was covering 75 percent of my pay, they were making those payments every three to 6 weeks. Unfortunately, during that time many of my payments for phone, utility, and even mortgage ran past due and accumulated a ridiculous amount of late fees. I have been back to work for one month and have only barely started getting my bills together, but because I am so far behind we are still barely able to make minimum payments to avoid incurring any more late fees. I just spent my last check entirely on our mortgage, to keep the water from getting shut off again, and on our car payments. The account is now negative. Now, we barely have enough cash for gas for myself to go to work and my wife to go to school (not to mention her brakes on her vehicle are way overdue to be replaced). My retired firefighter father offered to buy us groceries for the next 2 weeks, but due to his fixed income and his own personal medical bills, I have a hard time accepting his money, because he will be putting himself in a financial bind. Anything you can do to help alleviate the financial crisis we are in would help to make us stable enough to at least get my children gifts for this Christmas. This is my first time, so I really don't know if this will work, but I certainly hope it does because I have absolutely no other options. Thank you all so much.

Thanks for taking the time! I am a single parent of two children, ages 16 and 14. I work full-time and attend school full-time as well. It has been very hard for me to keep my freezer and refrigerator full so that my children and I can eat. I have hardly provided for my family since the economy took a turn for the worse. I don't make much money. I tried to apply for assistance to be able to provide food for my household, and was turned away because of my gross monthly income, which I think it's unfair how the system works against people who are trying to make a living for their family versus the ones who don't attempt to try for a part-time job even, nor further their education. It has been very stressful for me, but I know God will see all of us through but to that is not enough! .i am in dyer need of financial assistance...please help i have no emergency funds . Everytime my kids ask me for something i can't give them anything. To note, i have worked 2 job for 2 years (doing the paper delivery everyday, i couldnt physically handle it any more. I am truly broke in every thing. I really need some help before my rent is due cause for the second time im short..i need to get help soon i am 4 months behind...please i need your help. thanks for reading ;(

This year has been interesting. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, had to get my entire thyorid removed and go through radiation treatment. All after suddenly becoming a single mom and having to leave cosmetology college. My hope is to have a special christmas with my daughter who will be 2 in January. I know it hasn't just been me who has gone through all of this and I would like to celebrate us making it through all in one piece. I recently got the results to my Ct Scan and they weren't happy with what they saw, I think they may be waiting until after the holidays to give me the bad news, but for now I'm going to focus on the positive. I'm not asking for a lot of money, just a few dollars- anything to help me get my daughter a few gifts to open on christmas and maybe some grocery money. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and god bless. And feel free to pray for me, my daughter and I truly could use it. It's been quiet the roller coaster and I'm praying for a peaceful start to our new year.
