Jobless husband and Dad of 4 in college now but struggling.

Gdb1973, Iowa



Hello,my name is Gary and I am 38,married with 4 awesome kids and I thought I would give this a try. I was laid off from my job as a satellite technician. Work is very scarce in Iowa where I live.The job I had once loved to do has become a moneypit. As a sub-contractor i had to pay for eveything except the dish and the recievers. Gas took half my pay alone.So my wife and I looked at all options and decided I would better myself and our family by going back to college. I am a full-time student studying to get my bachelors in IT/Systems Administration. I have 3 girls 10,5,3 and a boy 5. I have exhausted all my savings and dont know what I am going to do.I have looked for work everywhere locally with no success. My wife stays with our youngest because daycare is too expensive.She make a little money by sitting for other children. I feel so embarrassed because I try to hide this from my kids on the position we are in at this time.I take all odd and end jobs I can find but its just not enough I believe that going back to school is the right thing to do but its a very hard struggle.I hate asking but if someone, anyone could help out in any way it would be so appreciated.Even if someone would know about a job online that is legit, that would be great too. I know when I look back later down the road my family will be proud and stronger for this. Any donations would be through paypal of course.Thanks so much for reading and god bless.

Poor, robbed student looking for help

Verypoorstudent, Poland



Hello good people I'm writing here as a measure of last resort, in the time of greatest need. I'm 22 years old college student (probably won't be able to say that soon) from Poland and recently I have lost all my savings and now I'm completely broke... A week ago, when I was gone my apartament got robbed completely. When I came back home, everything was gone: my laptop and my money. I know I shouldn't keep all of my money in the apartament and I can only blame myself for my stupidity... Police didn't find much and I don't expect them to find my stuff anyways. I can't get any other kind of help so thats why I'm asking for help here. I can't ask my parents for money, because I don't have contact with my father since I was 5, and my mother barely has the money to pay off her bills. At the moment I'm looking for a job, but it's really hard since I have a lot of classes (I'm studying mathematics) and barely have time for anything. I borrowed some money from my friends, but it won't last for long. I need to pay the rent soon, I'm completely broke and have no idea what to do now. I never felt so alone and powerless in my life. If anyone can help and send a couple of dollars, it would mean a world to me. Thanks in advance!

Wish to go to Los Angeles

Chris, Portsmouth, UK



Never going to be able to afford to go to to Los Angeles in my lifetime. Is there anybody out there kind enough to donate any amount towards getting there? I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance just in case I am not able to thank you personally by email.

Eviction and no money to pay

Kapil, Mumbai India



M Kapil, 24, hardworking and honest student and i am struggling to feed a family of three. The issue is that my dad (dead in 2009) left no money for us and left me a debt of $9000 (Rs.540000) which I am unable to pay off and interest @20% p.a. is being charged by builder from whom we purchased the house I presently live in. The builder is very kind allowing us to stay in the house but his kindness would disappear if i don't pay off the dues within 2 years and he will remove us from our house in Mumbai,INDIA. We don't have any other house to live in nor do we have rent to pay off rental premises. We are in neck deep trouble and am just 24! Don't know where to go and what to do. Hence I request you to kindly donate at least 1 dollar to kapilenjoys@gmail.com this is my PayPal address. Your kind donation will help bring my balance down. I will be thankful to you and would pray lord Jesus to fill happiness in your life. God bless you
