newly single mom

Jess, California



No other reason than i made some poor choices. I am newly single and recently had my hours at work cut- hard times! If it were just me that i had to worry about i would never beg, unfortunately i have a nine year old son who is stuck facing my hardships as if they were his own. I do it to keep his life as normal as possible

Food, Toilet Paper and Clothing.

Shattered Wings, California



Hiya, my family just lost our home and we have nothing. Bank took it our home of 40 years and we lost it when we lost our jobs. Currently we're in an apartment and we have no furniture. Barely making ends meet we have no furniture, no toilet paper and clothing we had to leave at the house. The bank gave us short notice and everything in our home had to be left behind. My mother is on her last set of contacts and glasses were left in the bathroom of our foreclosed home. I ask for used refrigerator (we're looking for one) for contacts/glasses/eye check, $200 sofa, clothing (since it was left behind) dollars for food/toilet paper/shampoo and maybe some towels for the bathroom. We're all sharing this computer so I'm hoping I'm doing the right thing by asking. I'm scared for my family we struggle so much since the house was foreclosed and we have no food in the house right now. So I'm hoping really hoping this is the right thing to do.. We just could really use your help and thank you so much for taking the time to read this. If you are unable to help and know someone that could donate some toilet paper or food. I would be incredibly grateful. Keep us in your thoughts and have a beautiful day. Sincerly, Noelie Our Paypal: Mnshatteredwings@gmail.com

Money for my canines vet expenses

A Friend Who's Saved My Life, California



Hi I'm writing this because I am currently trying to raise money to take my dog to the vet. Typically I try not to ask for anything and do all the giving when I can, but I'm at my last rope. Isaac, my dog & friend, is my emotional support animal and helps me through my panic attacks caused by my anxiety and depression. Without my dog Isaac I don't know what i would do. He is an older golden retriever that is 12 years old, 13 in December. He has had epilepsy since he was 2 and was diagnosed with arthritis last year. I have been doing as much as I can for him, sitting through each seizure with him, trying different diets, massaging him. medications, and even cooking his food at time, but I just don't have any more money for his vet expenses. I have several thousand dollars in debt, not including school loans, and have to live with my parents. I need to take him to the vet for a check up and blood test so that they can give him more medicines and to look at a new problem he is having with his eyes. I would also like to raise money to pay down some bills so I can save more money if another emergency happens. I love my dog and I can't bare it if I lose him. Before my parents have helped me when the bills got too expensive but I can't ask them now. My dad had a stroke in January and they have been struggling as well, and because I took on the job as my dads full time care giver when he came home I haven't been working. He is getting better and I'm looking for a job while doing side jobs but it's just not enough. Please help me..
