I spent moths trying to find the perfect job in Asia. Spending my savings carefully and trying not to go out. I couldn’t work until I had a work visa because it was too risky. Last month I finally found the job I was looking for, a traineeship that would lead to a good career. just as I was about to get all the documents for my visa, there was a problem with my medical and the offer fell through. Now I need to get home but don’t have enouh for the flight. This will hopefully be my first Christmas home in 3 years. I have never done this before and usually i’m good with money, but I have learnt from my mistake and just really want to see my family. Some people may say this is my own fault, well it is partly, but we all make mistakes. And if a few good people chip in the price of a coffee at Starbucks, I can at least enjoy the holidays.

Hello, I am Charlie and currently find myself in a terrible predicament. 12 months ago (Oct 2012), I decided to take the plunge and go self-employed as an IT Consultant. I spent every last penny of my limited savings to setup (online presence, marketing, insurance, business cards, etc). After 3 months things were going well considering the tough economic times. What I couldn't have foreseen was that I became very ill in April 2013, meaning I couldn't drive. I also wasn't well enough to dedicate the time and effort required. After months of tests and hospital visits, I am now on good medication and feel ready to carry on with my venture. Sadly, the last 6 months has left me without money, so the only way I can get my business going again is to literally beg that some kind person may be able to help. I am barely able to feed myself, let alone find money to market and renew my business. If you are genuine then any help would be much appreciated. Thankyou for taking time to read and possibly consider my request. Regards Charlie
