All I\'m asking for is $50.00 from good people
Donate2nate, Michigan
Hi and thanks so much for reading,
My wife and I are in our 50's. We have jobs, but I work as a delivery driver part time and my wife is down to working 1-2 day's per week and it won't get any better.
We have no health insurance. She has diabetes and COPD from working in a factory when she was younger. I have had 2 heart attacks and have a bad back. We will both have to go on disability sometime in the future.
I have to drive a 1991 Ford pickup 40 miles back and forth to work that has no heat, bald tires, and a loud exhaust due to the exhaust system rusting out. My wife walks to work and back.
Although we have all these problems...that is life. We will get by through by the grace of God. There are people worse off.
I am asking for just fifty dollars so I can purchase another income stream so we can help ourselves. This income stream will help support us if and when we have to go on disability.
We would be so appreciative for the donation from some good person or good people.
Thanks for reading,
Nate
Thank you in advance and

Desperate times, trying to pull myself out of a mess.
I can't catch a break this year unfortunately. I have a 3 year old daughter who I get no help for, and I have tapped out every resource to provide. I finally landed a great job, but the paycheck that was supposed to be in the mail this week (their office is in Cali) is a no-show. I have no gas to get to work, so I may have to call in and I just got the job 2 weeks ago so it's not the best time to be calling in. It was hard enough to land something that may potentially support the two of us! To make matters worse I've been late twice on my rent and if I'm late again, we will be getting evicted. Any help at all, big or small donations, would be forever appreciated. I am in a bind, and just need enough to make it to work and back for a few days so I don't lose the job I worked so hard to get.

need a loan to consolidate high interest debt
Not a hand out but up, please , Michigan
I am a very hard working individual, I am currently working two jobs , one full time 45 hours Monday through Friday ($17.25/hr) in Saginaw, and a second job on the weekends averaging between 16 and 23 hours ($8.40/hr) in Frankenmuth. My credit score is extremely poor. My score is poor even though I am working two jobs because of the financial hardship of having a husband that was in and out of the hospital for more than two years, and not working much at that time, having had a hysterectomy myself with a high deductible and out-of-pocket expense on the insurance, coupled with the fact of a house and autos that have needed much repair; teenage son totaled out a car this year as well. Most recently we have had to invest around $5,000 in our house as we had to have all the wiring replaced, which included knocking out walls and ceilings to get to the old wires that were shorting out. As well, I have been trying to assist my family, a daughter in college and a daughter and son-in-law with five children who are out of work right now. All of this, has lead a very good person to have a very bad credit score. I want to pay my bills and I work very hard trying to get caught up, but with so many payments every month, catching up just doesn’t happen.
I am looking to consolidate all of my bills, totaling approximately $15,000 into one monthly easier to handle payment . Right now I have a auto payment and a second loan on that auto, along with some smaller medical and credit card bills that I would like to make into one payment. I am willing to have part of my paycheck direct deposited for this payment every two weeks. This will allow me to get caught up and regroup, and hopefully put something away for emergencies.
