Aim: I'm just asking for a little bit of help while I wait to start my second job. I fell a little bit behind on rent and use temporary hand.

• I am a 44 year old woman from Fayetteville North Carolina. The cost of living is pretty high but what's even worse is finding a second job. I have fallen on hard times after getting demoted at my job illegally by my GM. I told the truth about what was going on on the floor where I work and it had a lot to do with him and an aerial supervisor. They were making it hard for everybody on the floor to work with the things that they were doing. So to stop me from continuing on my campaign they literally decided to make it seem like I had performance issues. I've been doing my job for 13 years all of a sudden I have performance issues? Anyway I went from making 20 an hour to 16. He immediately took everything away from me and didn't even have a meeting with me he did not tell me anything until I came into work right before my payday and he didn't even tell me he took away my pay I had to find that out when I got paid. I think he was hoping I was going to quit work, but I've put too much time and effort in where I work so that's not going to happen. It took me a long time to find a second job,  but I can't start it until I get another social security card.  I was unaware of the jobs are currently taking pictures of your social security card now in order to hire you. I have until the end of October to get they money I need before my landlord sends it to an attorney to start the eviction process. I've tried everything to make extra money even apps that allow you to do side hustles but all of them were too far away plus I don't drive so I couldn't do Uber or Doordash. I understand that at my age I should have been well prepared, but things happen and sometimes you just fall behind. I'm hoping I will receive the help I need so that my pets and I will not be homeless especially now that winter is close. I plan to use the money to pay my rent and hopefully when I start my second job I'll be able to stay caught up until I move out.  I thank everybody in advance who is willing to give me a hand.

Help me! and also Pray for me. I am about to lose my home in foreclosure because the bank would not take partial mortgage payments. They also did not have the courtesy to ever serve me with foreclosure papers. So now I am going to have to go through bankruptcy. To top all this off on Sunday afternoon, October 13th we have had a kitchen fire at the electric stove {{i hate electric stoves}}---the kitchen is toast!! No one was injured. The house is still very liveable, only smoke damage. But we get a new kitchen, new appliances, and i get my gas stove. The contractors are busy working and i’m sitting here shaking. It could have been so much worse. Hey everybody i'm still alive {{i think??}}. I am an older disabled widow (left club foot and leg, with no cartilage in my knees), whose husband of 21 years died unexpectedly some 2 years ago. He was a disabled Vietnam era vet of 10 Army years, and had been granted 100% disability for dystemia in September, 2001 (for which he had been granted 20% on his demobilization in 1981). We had purchased a house about 2 years before he died, never thinking his illness would take such a sudden turn for the worse. He died of non-combat causes 20 days before his 100% disability would have been 10 years. Therefore I do not receive a widow’s VA pension. However, due to a string of very odd, disturbing, and harshly negative circumstances, I seriously panicked. Some years back I was diagnosed with a series of TIA’s (small brain strokes) which unhinged some of the synapses in my brain. This resulted in my acquiring a Panic Attack Anxiety Disorder (PAAD) syndrome, which made it impossible to teach college classes or perform my storytelling show. After being referred to over 25 agencies that I was told would help me, then being told “we don’t do that any more”, and being passed from one agency to another to another to another, I was feeling that no one saw me or heard me or believed anything I said. When I asked for help they said “yes”, but didn’t do what they promised, probably hoping I would forget and go away. So I kept sinking deeper into this mental slog of PAAD despair, which lasted for most of these last fourteen months. The whole problem now is how to save this house. I’ve got no other place to go. I also have taken in two lady friends, a mother, and her adult daughter who has two small girls 9 years and 9 months old, as roommates, who also have had no other place to go. Besides, they both had their wallets stolen at their recent family gatherings, apparently by a cousin (but no actual proof), and are now fighting identity theft problems. Practically, it would be less expensive for the government if I were here in my own house with my lady friends. Assisted living homes, etc. are much more expensive than what is needed to help keep me in this house (besides, I’d have to give up my computer and my cat). Preserving a very old house that pays taxes and is a part of the neighborhood is a more viable solution. What I am asking {{??begging??}} for are two kinds of help. First, an “angel” [in the Broadway sense] who would gift or finance me enough money to be able to save the house. Or, if possible, put me in touch with someone or someplace that would. Secondly, Prayer to save the house. I really believe God has put me here for a reason, but this financial situation is a mountain that has to be moved. And I really believe also the devil does not want me to be here. So I look for inspiration: Luke,11:9;---And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. It is quite embarrassing to write this letter, which sounds like one of those junk mail scamish letters. Be assured, though, this is for an immediate {and panicked} need. Please be sympathetic to my situation. I ask you for both financial help and prayer, and hope that God will move you to share both with me. But if you cannot, please feel free to pass this on to any person or charity that can help.

My family needs financial help. We need cash to help pay off our friend who has been letting us live with him since December and helping us with food, gas to get to work and a storage unit for all the things that we don't have room for (all sentimental, nothing valuable to sell) since we don't have anything but one bedroom for three of us. I don't have any bills that can be paid for me besides giving our friend cash to pay his mortgage and utilities, etc. We only have obligations to our lifelong friend and really don't want to put him in a bad place because we're unable to pay him. If you have extra cash laying around or just feel like now is a good time to pay it forward, get some good karma and could help us out, you would be a lifesaver and all I can promise is that one day we will pay it forward, or even help you out with any jobs/tasks that you have been needing to get completed. My husband is a jack of all trades and can do just about anything and I am good at paperwork, filing, and office work. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 7.5 years and we are parents to our 6-year-old daughter that is the light of our lives. We also had two other furry "children" (our dogs) but had to put one of them down a little less than a year ago and we are still emotionally struggling with that. Unfortunately, we are a family who has fallen on hard times and would appreciate someone opening their wallet and their heart for a family who just can't make ends meet. It's very hard to have to ask family, friends and/or strangers for anything especially when it can't be paid back besides maybe doing some labor for the person donating or promising that we believe in karma and paying it forward and one day we will do the same for someone like us, and we already have on occasion. We just moved back to Indiana in December, right before Christmas. We had been living in Illinois for the last year to be closer to my in-laws. We are the people who may only have $5 to our name, but when we see that Veteran who fought for our freedom standing on the side of the road begging for money and/or food we will not judge on whether he just wants booze or drugs because all I see is a person like me that is in need and it's also a lesson for our daughter to learn to give and be compassionate...we will go to a fast food place and get some food for them, or give them the $5 if we're in a hurry. I cry a lot when I'm alone and pray for a miracle and for a job opportunity for my husband (I have a wonderful job, but I am underpaid and my husband is going on interviews, but not getting hired). I cry that at 6-years-old, my daughter is way too understanding of the fact that we can't buy her toys and what-not because I need every penny for food, gas, rent, clothes for her, items for her school, etc. We don't have a house or apartment but we share a bedroom with our daughter at a good friend’s house. We have a car but the transmission needs fixed and I'm driving my parents extra car (we would also need new plates and insurance once our transmission is fixed and help reinstating my husband’s license because his is suspended from not being able to pay a speeding ticket), but...we aren't standing on the side of the road without a roof over our head and we may not have a huge supply of food, but we have something to keep our bellies from rumbling. I thank God for my little family every single day, because I don't know how I could get through the day of always being stressed and feeling broken emotionally and financially without their love. I know money doesn't make the world go around, but I can honestly say that money would make life a lot easier because I wouldn't have to stress out about what I can't pay every day from the moment I wake up until the time that my mind finally shuts off and lets me get a few hours of sleep. I was on antidepressants for a while, but 1-I can't afford medication and 2-the medication only masks my problems, it doesn't solve them, so I feel I shouldn’t take them. Sorry for this being so long and I'm not sure how many people will actually read it since it's so long, but if you do, thank you. Even if you can't help us out, I would enjoy just getting an email wishing us the best of luck or letting us know that we are in your thoughts and prayers. It would warm my heart. Yes, I am asking for cash because that is truly what our family needs. Thanks again for considering a donation to our little family and thank you for reading my short version of some of our life story. I would love to sit down and tell you why we are in the position we are in, but it's just too much information to include in this already extremely long posting.
