Divorced older woman. One step away from the street. All my kids are grown. I became ill in 2011. I was laid off and my unemployment ran out. Lost my car and was evicted. Kind hearted relatives let me stay with them but I still need money to pay for medications and basics. I have sold everything I could and have nothing left. My relatives can not afford to help me out financially. I need help to pay for my Co-pays for medications, soap, toothpaste, etc. I have basic medical through the state that covers some prescriptions but that does not cover specialists, or co-pays. I am trying to find a specialist but it is taking a long time to find one who will see me without insurance coverage. Any amount will help. God bless and thank you for reading this.

Hi everyone, We are literally at a loose end and I decided in sheer desperation to swallow my pride and ask for help. We are a young family with 4 children, one of which is severely disabled. Our little girl is blind with severe autism, learning disability, sensory processing disorder, epilepsy, panhypopitutrism to name a few things. Our home is very unsuitabe for her and we have been desperately trying to move for her sake and that of her siblings. We hardly ever sleep due to our child's needs and due to funding cuts are unlikely to receive the overnight respite we desperately need. Our other children are suffering as a result and need extra support due to sleep depravation. We also have a very unwell baby. This is tough enough, however we always felt we should put into the system as much as possible and therefore have always been a wrking family. However, due to my ill health (I have arthritis, fibromyalgia, anxiety disorder and self harm disorder due to a traumatic childhood), I have found it increasingly harder to be the carer my child needs and I'm ashamed to say that sleep deprivation, shame that I wasn't coping and sheer desperation drove me to a suicide attempt just before christmas last year. As a result my husband was forced to resign from his job in order to care for us. I am deeply ashamed about this and want to try to help my family in order to make it right somehow. We are in what you call a catch 22 situation. We have been on the waiting list for housing for 8 years but as our child's needs are so specific the housing are unable to offer anything suitable. We tried and tried to save for a private rental property but one that we need for her either doesnt exist or costs way more than we could ever afford. If anyone could help us at all we would really appreciate it. I don't know what to ask for really. We ran up a lot of debt as we tried various private medical treatments for our child, and also complimentary therapies which we paid for by credit card. We will not be debt free for 2 years and a mortgage is out of the question. However the thought of living this hell for 2 more years kills me a little inside each day and having to look my children in the eye when they are exhausted and ask why they cant sleep reminds me how much i am failing them. We do not have a deposit. We could build the perfect property for around £140000 but I know we will never get that. I don't know what to do. If anyone could find a way to donate even towards a piece of land so that we have a light at the end of this dark tunnel we would be so so greatful. Thankyou for reading and whatever you decide, have a lovely day.

I work for a collection agency who just went out of business with no notice: they won't give us our last checks and my light bill and rent are due on Monday I need $1000 to pay this month's bills I'm a single mother of 3 beautiful girls I work hard and do my best my oldest bday is Friday and I can't even do anything for her I'm desperate at this point I have a good job prospect on Monday but if I don't pay the bills due we won't have a place to live or electric I don't know if this place is even real but I don't know what else to do but pray.

I have been without a job for two years. The last business I worked for closed down. I have been unable to find employment. My husband makes just enough to exclude us from government help, but not enough to feed us everyday. The medication and supplies I need for my Type 1 diabetes cost roughly $300 per month. Our daughter recently had to get dental work done -- cavities. Today, our water got shut off. Please help us. We work hard, but are drowning. Please.
