Debt, illness and unemployed

Money help for a home, London



Hi I have never done this before but this is my only and last option. I have been depressed and overly stressed for years. Mainly because i put others first but no one cares enough to think about me. It made me ill with a stomach ulcer and weakened my immune system to th point that i get very easily ill with colds and bugs. Because i am ill i lost my job. Well they didnt provide sufficient heating or air con for either weather condition and made me badly sick. I fought for my health and saftey rights but again no one cared because it would cost them money. So here i am looking for work, trying to get my health better but thats a struggle with a huge burden of debt on my head due to no work available and on the brink of being evicted.i have no where to go and soon my car will be taken so i wont even have that to sleep in and a fat chance of ever getting a job. I am at the point of thinking whats the point of living! This is my last chance of hope of a life. If anyone is kind and caring enough to donate to help a 23 year old girl out i would really appreciate the chance of a life.everyone deserves a chance of life despite how cruel it can be. Even the governement cannot care enough to help. I always thought life wasnt about money but it kinda is to survive. Its quite sad but i really want a good future if only i can get back to stable. Thank you.

Helping my friend

Alice, London



I desperately wish to help my friend who is currently struggling to get work and has been trying everything. I know for him having a car would help him to take on more job opportunities and eventually find his feet, which is all his heart desires right now, he really has been trying so hard and I see he is exhausted and could use some serious intervention and at this rate all I am able to do is pray for the divine. If I myself had the money I would give it to him for a car, I have a little to put towards it, I'm trying everything I can so far. So I'm here to maybe find help toward funding a basic working used car. If you would like to help I will remember your kindess always. Thank you for any consideration.

Desparate to save family & small business

Desparate to save family & sma, London



Life looked very happy until I had a kidney failure at the end of 2010. I had a very happy family with 2 boys (now age 6 & 8), own house and fulfilling job. Life turned all upside down as I had to spend 3 days a week in a hospital for dialysis and couldn't continue job. My wife also had to stop working to look after kids and myself. I still feel that I have been blessed by god. My sister came all the way from Nepal to donate her kidney in London. I had to sponsor her and meet all the requirements of Home-Office UK. Despite the genuine medical case, her Visa was refused and I had to go through lengthy and costly appeal court. I won the case and she came in the UK last year. I had my transplant July 2012. at the same time, my elder son had to go Cardiac Surgery. Now, I have recovered very well. I started small Restaurant business beginning of this year. Due to the poor economical climate I am struggling to keep going on. To carry along family together seems very tough at this moment. I have come through a very difficult time in the last few years and as a family we have pulled through out very confidently. But, now as all the money has drained out I am genuinely struggling to keep my family and business together. My mortgage payment is also in arrear. I would appreciate if someone can offer me some funds to get through this difficult moment. I assure I am not expecting anything for free. I will return the funds back as soon as my restaurant makes some profit. I am willing to send you pictures or official documents to support above statement. Pls. feel free to contact me at rajkgurung@aol.com Regards with hope of life. Raj

Can't pay rent, pay for food...Stressed

Too Many Problems, London



I have had the worst run of luck. I started a new job in July and by August I began to go blind in my left eye. This has resulted in a lot of appointments and days off at work, which my employer has been understanding about...To that point. Then December my ex emptied my account of £1800 and this couldn't be proven to be the case, so I never had a penny of it back...Incidentally at the same time I found out I was pregnant with his child which I subsequently miscarried, presumably through stress. After the miscarriage, it was found I was carrying a dermoid cyst on my left ovary which they said would need operated on. I spoke this through with my employer and initially they agreed to pay my sick entitlement in full...Unfortunately for me, they didn't follow through with it. This has left me in a position where I cannot pay my rent, or bill or buy food. My flat I am renting has now been put back up on the market, and I do not have a deposit to find somewhere else. I need a break and I hope someone can help me! I am so badly effected by this I need about £3k to get back on track, but any donation would be appreciated as it all counts. Thank you x
