I have no job and no income , was diagnosed with cancer , being that it is on my face I can not go back to work , until final operation and all is healed ,thanks in advance

To be honest I don't have a real hard luck story. I have a husband and three children. My husband and I both work and are able to meet basic needs. We have accumulated debt through three job losses and would like to get rid of it in order to do a bit better. As most people know, getting out of the debt cycle is a challenge ("robbing Peter to pay Paul" etc.). I would like to get out of debt and remain that way so that the big banks and credit card companies no longer get so much of our money in interest. I wish to start working toward my children's future, i.e. saving for their education. We don't have horrible life - we are just hoping to make it a bit better. Thank you.

Hi everyone, My name is Liz, a 26 year old single female who's still in school, and I have nowhere's else to go for help. Asking my parent's is not an option, my mother passed away a few years ago and my father's in his late 60's working away so he can safely retire. So I feel guilty asking him as it is. After High School, I started working right away. Nonstop actually, I barely had a social life. I gained an excellent work ethic and was always positive in the workplace. I was the first person people went to when a problem arose.... But then I made the huge mistake of getting a credit card. Suffering the consequences of those never-ending payments now. Aside from that, I felt I wasn't where I was supposed to be in life. I'm a pretty passionate person, and I felt that if I were to put my energy into something for the rest of my life. It had to be something that I was absolutely passionate about. So I went back to school for the Arts. I love every aspect of creating. And my purpose is to inspire others. Due to my prior debt, I didn't get that huge of a student loan. But it was enough to cover my tuition. Living expenses not so much. I consider myself lucky to be able to come up with rent every month. As well as getting healthy groceries from time to time. And as a full-time student, holding down a job is extremely hard. What I'm worried about right now is rent at the end of this month. And with Christmas coming closer, I felt it was more important to get a couple presents for my family. But the stress of bills and 550$ for rent is looming over my head right now, and it's sad to say, but i'm actually pretty desperate.

I am a 28 year old individual in a wheelchair and having a working computer is very important to me. It's my life-line to the outside world, as I live alone, and struggle with even getting a ride to the grocery store, let alone seeing anyone socially especially since all but two of my friends live in other cities or countries. Yesterday my laptop shut off by itself and it won't turn on - a laptop i'm still financing, and would rather see repaired than the oft suggested 'just get a new one' as if that was any more affordable. If I can raise enough to get the warranty renewed(300$) then I can be covered on any repairs, including this one, that might pop up in the next year. Please help me. I have temporarily borrowed a friend's laptop so that I could make this post, and try and find a solution to my problem.

I realize that this is a long shot, however, at this point it's worth a try even if nothing comes out of it. I have no other option and nothing to loose (except my pride & rotten teeth). My Story: I am a single mother who has always put my son & others ahead of myself. Worked full time and made sure the bills were paid and all responsibilities were taken care of. There was no medical/dental plan with the company...anyway I had a heart attack (age 42) and with medical issues have not been back to work. The savings that I had is now gone and I am not currently working, nor am I on disability or welfare. I really really wanted to avoid having to go that route...although may soon need to consider it. My teeth are a mess to say the least and I am in desperate need of major Dental work to be done. In reality getting dentures (top & bottom) is the only hope. I rely on Orajel & Tylenol Extra Strength daily to get some moderate relief from the constant pain & have just finished another round of anti-biotics to deal with an abscess. I realize I have no one to blame but myself for allowing them to get to the condition that they are now...but I have a HUGE fear of being in the dental chair and must be sedated to have work done.... Any donation would be very much appreciated and help toward putting a new happy shinny white smile on my face.
