I know that there's people out there who deserve this way more than I do. I understand if no one feels the need to donate because I'm not starving.. but I have been apart from my boyfriend for over 3 years. I need to save up around $2,000 for a plane ticket to Canada. It's not easy. I honestly hate to seem desperate and greedy, but I am at a breaking point in my life right now. I need him more than ever and this time difference and distance is killing me. I can't begin to comprehend how difficult it is to be apart from your significant other. If any of you are in a relationship you might understand how hard it would be to be away from your partner for so long. Any help would go right towards the plane ticket

I am begging because i realize i am not too good to be doing so. I have been staying at a shelter and looking for work every day. I was not always homeless and destitute, i worked two jobs, took care of my family and provided for them before being laid off as my employer went out of business. You cannot live with your family at the shelter (wife and step son) I just want to be able to live with my family so we can begin rebuilding, and working towards better days. Any amount will help towards a deposit for a small apt, I have several interviews in the coming days, and hopefully with beginning work soon combined with kind donations from you, my family and I can live together as such, sooner. Thank You, With Peace, Gabriel.

This to a lot of people may not seem like a worthy cause but please read and see my reasons behind the story and how I got to where I stand today. I am 23 years old and have BAD really bad teeth. I was never taught proper oral hygiene as a child, I remember visiting the Dentist but I was very young. I have only been to the dentist since under emergency circumstances. I have holes in most teeth, but have at least 6+ missing or broken teeth, mainly on view as well. I have abscess after abscess and constant tooth ache. I do currently brush my teeth twice a day, but it's too far gone to make the difference that I need. I can't afford the dental work that I require. I was a smoker (quit 7 weeks ago) not only to stop damaging my teeth even more so, but to save money. In my current situation I'm left with no money at the end of the pay month, the extra money saved from not smoking is currently going towards paying towards getting me out of debt. The debt I am in is only small of around £1000 and I am paying this off as quick as I can. Afterwards any more saved will be put in the pot towards new teeth. I feel that my teeth hold me back in life. I currently work part-time in a call centre, I am very good at my job but know that if they were to ever consider promoting me I would only make it within the head office building, as I would be no good speaking to members of the public or business meetings with other people. The pain is also unreal. I have what seems to be a reoccurring abscess on one side of my face and it often swells up and again make's me even more embarrassed and humiliated. I will often have toothache, nearly everyday it's got to the point where a lot of painkillers make no difference. It turns me into a bad tempered person, and often causes bickering between me and my partner, because I'm just so fed up of the pain. I like to think that I am pretty, but as soon as my mouth opens it ruins the illusion. This makes me withdrawn, unsociable and just not confident at all. I'm often paranoid about what people think of me based upon my teeth, I know when I see other people with bad teeth I often think negative thought's of them as a person, and so know people do the same with me. I'm only 23 and I know that it's only a matter of time before my front teeth fall out. I can't imagine how that will make me feel and I am determined to get this problem sorted out before then. I would really appreciate any contribution big or small to my 'new teeth cause'. Like I said this may not seem worthy to people, but no one understands how bad I feel inside everyday because of my teeth. I do blame myself for not picking up on oral hygiene sooner, but I was never really given any guidance on it. I'm just glad I'm here for my daughter to give her the chance of nice beautiful not painful teeth that I never got.

Hello, my name is Caitlyn. I've just been dropped by my insurance, and I am in desperate need of eating disorder treatment. I am anorexic with bulimic tendencies; I binge and purge anywhere from 9-10 times per day. I am desperate, and I really need help. I am trying to get into an inpatient eating disorder program. Any increment of money is appreciated, even just a message of support is lovely. That link leads to another method to donate, if you want something a bit more reputable to go through. I send thank you cards to the people who donate and email me afterwards. <3

After leaving the military (honorable discharge), I thought finding work would be easy. Instead, I've been unemployed for over a year now. On the upside, this 'break' has given me the chance to complete my lifelong dream: write and publish a novel. I have completed 25 out of the planned 40 chapters but my funds are running dry. I am still looking for work wherever I can but my car broke down and had to be sold for scrap. In the meantime I eat just one meal a day. I am sick of noodles and cheap pizza but I can't afford anything else. I also have loans to repay. My mother took these loans out in my name but has stopped paying them after I revealed her cheating to my father. I can't afford the bills and the future just plain scares me. Help!
