Hello, my name is Angelina. I would like to tell my situation. I admit that I'm pretty lucky and there's people in much worse situations but I need help. I have been whittling a $16,000 school loan down to $11,500 over the past few years. I am 28 years old and I do not make enough to live on my own. I am not ashamed to say that I still live with my parents because they too are going through hard times and just trying to keep afloat. I get $16 every month from food stamps but that's not enough for me let alone help my parents.I help them anyway I can. My mom has arthritis and symptoms of carpal tunnel so I help her with tasks. My car is going to die soon. I have been taking good care of it but all the little things that are wrong are adding up. I finally got dental insurance from my work and went to the dentist. After getting xrays they said all the work will be $2,600. I just stared at him and then asked if there are any payment plans available. He said all they offer is a dental credit card. I mulled on that thought all week . Recently, one of my metal caps popped off and splice right through the filling underneath. So as of today, I applied for the card. I'm scared because before I was just making due but now I don't know how I'm going to do this. If I look for a second job, my first job will cut my hours if I change my availability . I found you on Begslist and I would like to say thank you for giving me a few minutes in your busy day to read my story. Nothing is too small, I would gladly accept advice.

JUST ASKING FOR ONE DOLLAR....PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Please help a single mom of three! We have a leaking roof that is in great need of repair. I have been behind in my mortgage payments in the recent past and there for do not qualify for any loans. Have checked with local help departments to no avail. If you could help us in any way we greatly appreciate it.

...Our car's engine threw a rod. Then it died. On the side of a busy road. In a thunderstorm. On the way to a job interview. Things just got much, much worse. Bessie, my 2002 Ford Taurus, was the only transportation for our small family - a Grandmother(me), my Daughter (a Navy Veteran & single parent) and my teenaged Grandson. I've been unemployed for the past year due to a disability, so we're all living on one meager income and food stamps. We were barely making the rent and utility payments each month and were looking for more jobs, and then this happened. So now Bessie needs a new engine and the lowest estimate for a used engine is $2,900. Unfortunately, we don't have anywhere near that amount. And if we don't pay the repair shop half the estimate by Friday, we'll have to pay to tow Bessie off their lot. We'd love to buy another used car instead of fixing Bessie, (she's been "sick" before and she's old) but our credit rating is... well, let's just say, nonexistent. Yes folks, poverty sucks! Since we live outside of town, public transportation is limited & not reliable, and cabs are too expensive. Plus in this heat & humidity, we look like wet dogs by the time we get anywhere. Bessie was our only way to go to job interviews, doctors appointments, do food shopping and laundry etc. Also, I work as a driver/caregiver for the elderly and can't do that without a reliable car.... She has to get fixed a.s.a.p.! ANY amount will be greatly appreciated. And all donations will go to fixing our car. We have no hidden agenda. We're just three good, loving, hard working people that need some temporary help just to get back to where we were two days ago. I can't get a job without a car- I drive for the elderly I wouldn't even be cyber-begging if we had family or friends (or a bank) to borrow from, but we don't. And my ex son-in-law is too selfish and stingy to help us or help his son buy a used car. And if anyone's feeling generous we would LOVE to have the money to get all our household belongings and my mother's (RIP) antiques out of the storage units they've been in in Texas for over SIX years now. I also had to give away my 2 beautiful cats when I moved to Florida and would be thrilled to have them back before they die. They're old and I miss them. And they miss me. BTW, I'm an award winning, produced, optioned screenwriter so if you're in the business, or know someone who is, and choose to donate, please email me at the addy on my paypal site and I'll reply with synopses and my bio. Thanks in advance and may the universe bless you with all the good things in life. P.S. I tried to include a picture of the repair estimate but my old phone doesn't download stuff to computers.

I lost my job and i am not able to pay my bills. i need money to be able to pay the bills and pay off a debt. if someone can help me with small donations i really appreciate it.
