I'm a hardworking, but recently unemployed father of 2 beautiful boys ages 2 and 4. I'm married and am currently struggling to make ends meet. I was denied unemployment because my former employer decided to appeal against me. I was NOT fired for any kind of misconduct. I worked hard, I worked clean and professional. I recently finished school with my EMS-Basic certification and don't even have money to pay for the national testing to look for a job in that field. Recent situations have left me virtually optionless and in desparate search of a financial remedy to prevent getting put out on the streets. I've been denied state assistance multiple times. I created this profile as a last ditch effort in hope of help. I'm hitting the streets and the internet everyday in hopes of finding work spending countless hours searching. I'm applying at jobs far below my level of experience. At this point, I'm willing to take a job at McDonald's or become a School Janitor to bring money home and make sure my wife and boys are taken care of. We have no place to go besides the streets. The last month has been a rocky road with a seemingly inevitable hard impact impending. Please, to anyone reading this, I hope this finds you and finds you well. I'm praying to God every odd minute of everyday hoping that something comes to light and puts me and my family back on track. I'm searching ceaslessly day and night for work, Hoping that my efforts come to fruition and pay off. Before losing my job, we just financed a new vehicle, got our credit back on track, moved into a new place. All just to have the rug pulled out from beneath us. I've gone days without eating, nights without sleeping. Just to make sure my boys have something in their stomach and a warm place to sleep. Where does this end? Where is the bottom? How much worse will this get? To anyone reading this with a giving heart, I hope whatever you contribute from that gets returned to you ten fold. God bless you. Even if you read this and don't give anything, I hope you take something positive from this.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi All. This is probably the lowest point of my life to date. My father died when I was very young and all I have known is just me and my mom. I am now 42 and earlier this year my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She went from being a very active 86 year-old to hardly being able to move or dress without assistance. I gave up my job and moved out of rented accommodation to live with my mom and became her full-time carer. Anyway to cut a long story short, she started having chemo but after a couple of sessions it make her feel really ill and she refused further treatment. She passed away peacefully on 25 August. I didn't realise that to save money she had cancelled the insurance policy that would have paid in full the funeral costs and I was left with a bill of $3,000. I have managed to pay $1,200 of this from my depleted savings but need to find the rest in order to get her ashes back and place them in a garden of remembrance. I have no other family it was just my mom and I. Any help you can give at this point will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Hello, my name is Caitlyn. I've just been dropped by my insurance, and I am in desperate need of eating disorder treatment. I am anorexic with bulimic tendencies; I binge and purge anywhere from 9-10 times per day. I am desperate, and I really need help. I am trying to get into an inpatient eating disorder program. Any increment of money is appreciated, even just a message of support is lovely. That link leads to another method to donate, if you want something a bit more reputable to go through. I send thank you cards to the people who donate and email me afterwards. <3

I am a girl from 21, that is born and lives in Belgium. Yeah, that small country between Holland, France and Germany that didn't had a government for 541 days.. (I still do not get it..) Because my parents are really poor, I am a student, I can't get enough money from work, and have to pay back €5000 I can not manage to make my dream come true without someones help. Normally I'll never do this but i am desperate. :) My dream is to make a work and travel(volunteering) traveltrip at the end of this year to Asia (Thailand, India, Indonesia, cambodja,..) and help chilldren with mental problems because they are victums of child abuse.(I know we have our priest here that made a lot of young victums but in Asia they don't get the same/enough help and compassion.) Also i want to go to Australia and help on organic farms, in National parks and on animal farms. (kangoroo, pinguins, ..) I want to get a lot of experience and finally think clear. I want to see how everything goes on the other side of the world and help out where i can.. Do something really good in my life, something that feels right, helping other people and giving animals hope. :) I am very sorry that I bother you with this. But if I don't try, I don't know, right? :) please make my dream come true! It would be amazing if you can help me out with this. Thank you so much!!! Sorry if i made some faults in my writing, or if I was rude in some phrases. My English isn't that well. :) Thank You For Your Time, I Am Pleased!

Well a couple a months ago our family had a something horrific happened to one our kids something that changed our family and not for the better. Our 11 year old was beaten and sexually assaulted by two boys she new from school I won't go into great detail but she was kicked out of school for telling a friend what happened to her and yes I know that sounds far fetched but I assure you it is true as for the boy's they still go to that school and nothing has happened to them because they were under the age to be charged. Before she got kicked out of school one of the teachers told her to get over it because it happens to lots of people. So after following all the right steps and telling all the right people your told to just be quite now does that sound right to you. The fun happy full of life your girl I love so much is now not so happy and full of life she has told us she thinks of suicide because no one cared enough to help her when it happened. It kills me to hear a young beautiful girl talk about ending her life she means the world to me she is my hero So needless to say we followed all the right roads and my little girl has still gotten no justice or ever a little satisfaction knowing people out there care. So my wife works for a sexual assault center so needless to say she is off work right now and I got laid off because its hard to work when you want to be there all the time to protect your child because you feel like you failed them. So our bills have been pilling we are months behind on our rent we are behind on months of car payments I fear we will lose them soon the landlords are understanding but can only wait so long and as a father I don't know what else to do I just want to see my kids smile again I want to see my wife not cry everyday. I just want to catch up on bills and be able to take my family someplace nice to take their minds off of all of this darkness. Thank you for listening and please if you want to know anything else don't hesitate to ask I didn't put a lot of detail because it is hard for me to think about we are about $15,000 in the hole and need a little help every little bit will hlp
