Boyfriend and I are self-employed, money is never stable but has recently become extremely low (almost nothing, and if it does come in, it goes very quickly). Boyfriend has 3 children who need to be fed, we also need clothing and other things, but this is less important. Many crises keep happening around us, and it is very hard right now. Anything that anyone can spare is greatly and deeply appreciated!!

Ok, I'm not going to give you a sob story although I like everyone has one. I'm not going to tell you, I won't lie I need a beer, ( I gave up drinking eight years ago. What I will tell you is I am a Marine Corps veteran and a former commercial electrician. The reason I started writing instead of sweating it up in commercial buildings as an electrician began after a bad case of meningitis messed me up congnitively. So, while I know in life stuff happens, I found that writing helped me to get some cognitive skills back. So, I spent month writing and eventually wrote a book. It was a huge accomplishment for me and I'm proud of it. Then I wrote another book, a murder mystery. Again, it was a major accomplishment. My problem is I have no funds to market and find a publisher who can help promote my work. My books are on Amazon "Love Me TIll Tomorrow" and "The Sunshine Murders". I am now on disability but that's ok, life is hard I know. So, if you can help me reach my goal of getting my two books promoted I would appreciate any help!

Before I explain my situation, I want everyone to know that every cent of donations will go to help a family have a better life. What they have now is almost nothing. A mother and her 2 daughters living in very poor conditions, and barely surviving on what I can afford to give them. This is their story…. I met Rhean online about a year ago. She was very sincere in every way. She informed me that she had been married for 1 ½ years, and had been separated for the past 4 years. I learned that her ex-husband, who was an American enlisted in our armed forces, had just up and left her and her daughters. We chatted on several different sites, and after a while I felt comfortable enough to send her money so she could buy a cell phone. Finally being able to talk to her, to hear her voice, made me realize that she was totally honest and sincere in everything she told me. She was working for a clothing manufacturer, hardly making enough to live on. But somehow she was getting by. I decided that I had to meet her in person, so I took a week vacation and flew there. She was able to take a few days off from her job, and I spent a week with her and her 2 daughters. So now I found firsthand how she really was. And let me tell you, this woman is a saint. Everything she does is for the good of not only her family, but others also. The most unselfish person I had ever met. I stayed at her house, which to a lot of us would be nothing more than a storage shed at best. I finally saw for myself how everyday life was for them. All I kept thinking was “How could I make it better for the 3 of them?” The day before I left to come back home, Rhean and I spent the entire day talking. I needed to know everything about her. From her childhood to present day, we talked about everything. Not once has this woman asked me for anything. Even in the poor conditions they live in, she has never asked me for a dime. And being attached still to a man that just up and left them makes things a little more difficult. Needless to say I have decided to try and fund her annulment. It may take some time, but I have to do this for her. But now another snag…… After returning to work for 2 weeks after I left, she lost her job. It was one thing to fund her annulment, but now I am supporting the 3 of them weekly. And being 38 years old, in her country work is practically non-existent for someone of that age. I am trying to do the best I can, but I’m afraid it’s not enough. Having to fund her legal matters and everyday life, along with trying to save for their visas and travel expenses in the future, I feel like I’m not getting anywhere. So, this is where any donations will go ….. • Everyday life….food, utilities, and schooling • Annulment • Visas and travel expenses What I am asking for is for some assistance in helping this family to have a better life. I can support a family of 4 on my income, as long as we’re all together. Trying to support 2 households is not working. It will take around a year and a half to get them here in the states. Any donation, no matter how big or small, will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

I lost my job due to workplace bullying. I stayed for 1 year, but threats of gun violence finally made me quit. My car was damaged repeatedly & when I borrowed a friend's car it was damaged. Company management would not help (I think they are afraid of the bully). Other employees have had to leave because of this bully. I just need some assistance while I search for a job. I do not want to lose my house & be homeless because of this.
