I truly hate to beg for money but the world has left us no choice. We had to find a place to live and all of our money went into getting it and the a better vehicle because ours was so messed up that it could no longer be fixed. Our funds have run out and I have found my self in the local food banks just to get food for us and our little one. We need help to pay our bills and maybe get a bit of food that isn't old and stale. My husband is diabetic an we can't afford to get his test strips so that he can test his blood sugar. I very humbly ask for help. A dollar or two can help so very much.Hopefully we can get enough money together to at least make our next rent. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I have one child that may go without food next month due to her father being the only one that works. He takes care of all the bills but it seems that it is never enough and we barely have $20 to our name. I have tried to get a job but cannot find anything that will work around my school schedule and allow me to work. Please help.

I am a mother to five, wonderful children and married to a great man! Life has been good to us, and we usually make it through our financial obstacles. This summer has been very different though. My husband lost his job and has not been able to find any full time work yet. He takes any odd job that he can find. I went to my Dr. for a routine pap only to find that I had to have an emergency surgery. A huge fibroid growing in my uterus necessitated an immediate total abdominal hysterectomy. My boss was very understanding, and I go back to work next week; however, we are now six weeks behind on just about all our bills. I own a home in another town, and pay the mortgage so my elderly mother can live there. I rent in another town where my job is. I make good money, just not while on leave of absence. I am afraid I will lose my home where my mother stays. I have paid on that house for eleven years, and she has nowhere else to go. My children start school in the next couple weeks, and I have barely been able to buy them anything. I do not collect food stamps, Medicaid, or any other government welfare. I work hard, and always have. I have an Associates Degree in Retail Management, and am working towards my Bachelors. I am very involved in community activities, volunteer for the local American Red Cross chapter, and fundraise for the Arkansas Children's Hospital. I am hoping God will speak to someone to come to my family's aide.

Hi, I'm very sad to be typing this, I didn't think I'd ever have to ask anyone for money, but I am. I hope that in the good times, when I was working I gave to people in need, so I hope that some of you can help me. I am struggling with a teenage son, I have multiple health issues that make working 8hrs a day something I can't do, so since I was young I've been on SSI/SSD. Problem is, it isn't enough, I've had to overdarw my bank acct six times in the last year and pay just the minimum to keep my utilities on. I already have benefits for food, but I don't have enough work credits from SS to get any other help from them. I don't live over my means, I'm trying to graduate from college, but due to my health interferring with my classes, I have to pay for classes myself until I can show financial aid I have the grades, and I need it. I need about 200 dollars extra a month for bills. Each semester of school is 500 dollars NOT including textbooks, etc. Then when I graduate, I was intending to go into the Respiratory Therapy program at the University, and that is 30,000 by itself, and I have a school loan that I cannot pay off at this time unless I'm on my feet which is asking for 5,000 dollars. Because of my health, I've almost used all of my Pell Grants that someone is allowed to receive in their school career. (I've had to withdraw from several semesters, and if I hadn't I'd be done with college a long time ago.) With my illnesses, I've worked as much as I can, trying to be a good citizen, helping people, doing the right thing, well, I can't do anything anymore and I need some help. I've had our apt broken into twice, and once was when I was in the hospital just last year having surgery.. They got my son's Xbox 360 and all his games, all our movies and my desktop computer. Sad thing was, it was my 'friend' that did it. My fiance is tired of no money, and she broke up with me just last week. So, honestly folks, I'm tired of being hurt on top of this, and I'm really feeling like doing someting stupid, but the only reason I don't is my son, he would be angry and sad if I did anything to hurt muself. I just hate that he knows how bad I'm struggling. Maybe letting his mom take full custody would be easier... I know there is some of you out there with a few extra quarters, or a dollar or two to help, so please- if you feel it to give...You will be blessed. I don't know if this means anything, but when I receive the money, I will go to school, and upon graduation I will send a copy of my grades and report card to anyone who helped to show I did something I said I would do. It breaks my heart to ask for this. So what I'm asking for breaks down to this: 200 x 12= 2400 for a full year for bills, etc. 500+ for classes for 6 more classes=3,000+ 5,000 for my loan from school I didn't ask for any toward my Respiratory Therapy program as I felt it was too much to try to ask. However, if you feel like helping with this, please. Below is the total for everything. ___________________________________ 40,400 is needed. Now, I'm not asking for someone do donate all of this obviously, but if 40,400 people read this, and send $1, then I'll have it. If some of us could send more, then I'd really appreciate it, however, if you read this and decide that I'm worthy, then have a good day, and God Bless you!

I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter who I love more than anything. But getting here hasn't been easy. I had preeclampsia and many other pregnancy issues. I spent two months on bedrest before she was born and accumulated a lot of debt. After she was born I had hormone issues due to the trauma previously. I have worked really hard and I am now healthy but my husband and I are having a hard time rebounding financially. There are things we would like to be able to do but because money is so tight we are unable to do any extras. My husband and I are Christians and believe that anything you give you will be blessed for. Thank you for taking the time to read this, any help is appreciated.
