Please help me and my children, Georgia



Me she my 4 children were evicted. Their ages are 1, 2, 9, and 11. I was laid off of my job in April and could not continue to pay the bills once my unemployment ran out. We have found a trailer to move in for $275 a month and a friend had offered to pay this but I still have to come up with the $400 light bill deposit. Any donation would be a blessing to me and my kids. They have not been to school in 2 weeks because we do not have an address. Please help us. We have been staying from house to house where ever we can lay or head for that night. As I said any donation would be a blessing thanks in advance

Pay Bills

Help My Family Please, CA



I am hoping someone out there can help my family! My husband and I own a restaurant and the last few months have been more than rough. The restaurant hasn't been making a profit and we are behind on our bills. We have been doing everything we can to make sure our employees keep their jobs during the holidays which has meant that we are unable to pay ourselves. We have two kids and for the first time don't have any money to get them Christmas gifts let alone pay our rent and bills. I have never asked for a hand out from strangers but am really desparate! I am too embarassed to put our name on here in case our friends or family see this but we are good people that are just in a bad place right now. If you are in a position to help us, even if it's just a little, my family would be very grateful! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Please help me - at the end of my tether

Aregularguy, Uk



Hello - There are a host of worthy causes here but I just hope some of you out there will be kind enough to help me. I'm a regular guy who got ill, lost his job and got in a mountain of debt as a result of both. To be precise I had a breakdown, self-harmed and was suicidal. I have what they call situational depression. That meant that I found it really difficult to deal with some really nasty behaviour by other people at home and work. It all created a bit of a spiral and - to be honest - my handle on money went out of the window, as did my abilities and self-esteem. I'm now out of that environment but am left with a legacy of nearly £40k of debt which I built up when I lost control of my life. I'm coping most of the time but sometimes health wise I lose it and talk about "my debts dying with me". That's not nice and I don't ask for help lightly. It's tough as I still have some pride! I'd just be incredibly grateful if anybody would help me. Thank you so much - you have all my love and respect...

Closed business / lost job due to military deployments

SFC, Southern Indiana



8 years of mobilization with the Army Reserves has caused me nothing but financial hardships, and now after protecting my country from terrorism, I am unable to care for my family (wife and 5 children).
