Hungry and homeless and family wont help

Homeless and in a hole, Rhode island



3 weeks ago my best friend kicked me and my 17 year old brother out because his girlfriend didn't like me and she wanted to move in, this was at 140 am and it was pouring raining, i am 21 years old and i understand i am responsible for myself, but in this tough situation i am really unsure what to do. my mother died when i was 11 and my father does trucking across the united states. so at this time me and my brother had to take all our stuff and pack in my fathers truck (which is unregistered and uninsured due to my father not keeping up on it) and went to my sisters house. my sister is a very bad drug addict and we were scared just to knock on her door to ask for help because she will just yell at us and wonder what we are doing there. so we parked on the street and slept in the truck until the morning. knocked on the door and she was sniffing lines of pills in her kitchen. i told her that dad has sent 200 dollars via western union to her name for us and that i couldn't get it out because i lost my ID. first thing she says is "good, give me the code so i can rob you." it made me sick to my stomach and i was hoping she was joking, this 200 dollars was so me and my little brother could get a motel for a night or two. my father is very poor and it was all of his money. i didn't know the code for the money my father did. so i asked her when she could get it for us and she told us in the morning. she told us she was going to pickup her boyfriends phone and she would be back, next thing i know shes going behind our back taking the 200 dollars out and not telling us. when she got back she told us that the police pulled her over and took her license cause she had a suspended license. i was pissed because now she couldn't get the money for us (all along she already had the money and didn't tell us). she is a stripper and told us she would just get us the money tonight and keep what was in the western union. i agreed. her boyfriend was tweaking out on pills and coming up with excuses to keep the money so they wouldn't get caught stealing it. i just told him i was going to have my father cancel it in the morning and send it to my girlfriend. next thing i know when i wake up in the morning there's only 50 dollars on the dresser and i checked the code online and the money wasn't there, she stole it. now 200 dollars is alot of money to me and my brother. long story short is that we are living out of my fathers truck and he wants to take it from us so he can use it, ITS ALL WE HAVE! we sleep in and we are doing everything we can to get jobs. we are very very hungry everyday and homeless shelters wont accept us due to us being young and men. we don't have any family to stay with, and we are scared of getting the truck towed and impounded due to it not being registered. we are normal everyday people, we are not bums, we did nothing to deserve this and its pathetic that i am on here asking strangers for money over my own family. if you have any more questions or even want to talk to me by phone just email me @ anferngully69@yahoo.com i use the public library everyday to look for jobs and ways to get money, but with the way jobs are these days it just so tough to get on my feet, i am 21 taking care of my 17year old brother with no money and scared shitless of losing our only home with our possessions in it (the truck). ANYTHING would help even a penny, we are saving change daily and we DO NOT panhandle on the streets because we feel like we have more pride than that. I feel we have hit rock bottom. ive sold as much of my possessions as i could except my guitar, which is my heart and soul but im on the verge of trying to sell it for as much as i can get for it. thers so much more bullshit in me and my younger brothers life but im not trying put on a huge sob story. if anyone can do anything or even offer moral support just please email me. thanks for reading -Anthony and Justin

Financial Stress

Seeking_faithful, Right here



I swear it seems like theres no way out. I'm in a financial crisis. All around the world people throw money away. I've made my share of financial mistakes and I know theres people out there worse off than me. I make about 3000 a month. Half of which is deducted for government costs and then theres the $1000 going toward paying off loans. I can't get another loan because I dont have enough time remaining on my contract. I'm an alcoholic in recovery or atleast trying but the easiest thing to do is drink...and poof all this stress is gone. I added it up today and I'm $11,000 in debt. My bills are way behind and I just do not have the money to pay them. I drink because my past still haunts me and I have things back there that I'm still unable to confront. Ive extended myself far beyond my reach to help out other people and when I am in need no one is there for me. I ache and my heart is torn, sometimes I wake up in the morning and I wonder why i breathed through the night. Why is this so difficult? I hear everyone say things like establish a budget and etc but if there's no money to budget then what do I do?

Abusive employer...need a fall back plan.

Help me get back on my feet., Kisumu, Kenya



I applied for a job in an Indian company based in a different town (Kisumu, Kenya) from where I come from (Nairobi, Kenya) four years ago. I made a deal with my employer that after 3 months of the probation period I will get permanently employed and will get a salary increment double what I earn now. I work long hour’s 12 - 14 hrs a day and earn only 15,000 KES approx 174 dollars per month. My requests to get my employment status reviewed have been ignored and for the last four years I have been working as a casual without any kind of benefits. My efforts to look for a new job in my home town so that I can be close to my family yields little success, Jobs are not easy to come by. I cannot quit this job until am sure I have a fallback plan. I have been trying to save some money to start a business but because of my peanuts pay, school tuition loan and living expenses, I am not able to move forward. I need 2500 Dollars as financial aid so that I can relocate back to Nairobi and start a Cyber cafe, Computer parts and Movies sales business. Please find it in your heart to help me make a step forward, take a stand in life and leave my abusive employer. Thank you for taking time to read my post. God Bless you.
