I'm a proud full time single dad. I couldn't ask anymore of my son. My buckaroo is definetly a gentlemen, performs exceptional in school and has been resilient through our heartaches. I've always had a back up plan or some type of resources to access. I was brought up to be self sufficient and always be prepared. I've finally found myself unprepared, jobless, carless and injuried from my last job. I've sold almost everything I own to make it this far. Applying for all state assistance. Attempting to find ways to repair my body and make it to my doctors. Trying to reenroll into college, had to drop out (w/ a 4.3 gpa). The school sent my financial aid check to wrong adress and someone apparently thought they needed it more. So it was fraudulently cashed. Anything will help, I know I can get my feet planted again. I just don't know what else to do. As far as the memorial funds go, my grandmother and mother are both struggling widows. My grandfather and father were both great and honorable men. They taught me a lot about life and blue collar hard work. It's helped get me this far. My grandfather passed after years battling cancer, fighting til the bitter end. He tortured himself to stay alive and not leave the ones he loved. My grandmother is on a fixed income and struggling with her grief and own illnesses. My father fought an unexpected massive heartattack at one of our job sites. I administered CPR, but it was to no avail. Never have I felt so helpless and felt so surreal. Watching the mighty man, I've strived my enter life to be, slip away in what seemed like an instance. He too, fought to resist the inevitable, death. My mother is also struggling with grief and the loss of our family business he and she ran. W/o my father, we were forced to shut it down. Shortly after this, I landed what I thought was a great job. Only to find out it was nothing like our family business, built on our good name. I found myself in a corrupt company, which has left me physically injured. I thought I could save everything and everybody. Please help us recover from these devastating events. Please tell me where you want your donations to go, considering there are three different situations. Even, inspirational notes will help. I feel terribly lost in this cloud of confusion. I know the sun will shine again. Thanks for anything you send, wether it is quotes, prayers or donations. God bless.

I was out of a job for almost two years and racked up $31,000 of credit card debt so I could pay for utilities, taxes and food. I was responsible and put it on a ZERO percent interest CHASE credit card. I found a job and have pad off twelve thousand but need to pay off the remaining $19,000 before September 2012 when the zero percent offer ends. Please help me achieve my goal of being debt free in 8 months! Thank you, Logan

I'm at my wits end. I am a mother of two and need to pay the rent before my family is evicted. I was doing contract work, but now it has dried up. My husband lost his job due to downsizing. We have exhausted every resource we have. We need $1000 just to stay afloat. If you can help, please help my family!

I have been dancing on the edge of the sword for three years. I almost made it. I have 12 hours and student teaching left. Three years ago, I had to file bankruptcy or lose my house. Last year, I took a 17000 cut in pay so that I could keep a job. This year my financial aid was cut by two thirds from 3000 to 800. I have twelve hours left, just twelve hours. Classes cost 1500 at my current salary i can't afford that. If i can finish my degree, I can get my teaching license and never be in this place again. please help.

When someone asked me for help I gave them what I had, if it were a cup of coffee, bus fare, train fare I did what I could or sometimes it was what I felt like giving. I would help homeless, complete strangers and family members like they were all the same. People who needed my help. In school, I would stay up for hours helping others with their homework if they needed me and trusted me to help them. No I don't anticipate everyone to be as giving and as caring as I am but the fact that someone like me is alive and kicking and willing should even out some of the evilness in this world. Those who believe that good and evil need to be balanced and there is just as much good as there is bad have a realistic perspective on life. I beg today for the purpose of: I need money to live and prosper just like anyone else. It would go a step further for people to give to, now an even faceless person. You don't know the color of my skin, my facial expression, the tone of voice or the clothes I wear. I ask you to give because I need it and if it does not hurt your bank account than give because someone someday will give to you when you need it. It might be me or the person 500 miles away.
