college

Chappy, England



i hate to ask for money but i have no other option now, i have one more week left at my training course which means i will recieve no more money, i am desperate to go back to college to get my level 2 hair and beauty, but i have spoken to my friends and there are no more grants given out to buy the college kits and uniform, as me and my mum are already struggling and behind in debts, my mum can afford to give me £20 towards it which means i need another £90 i will be extremely grateful for any donations, as i really do not want to be on jsa all my life and be a role model to my younger brothers

Childcare Costs

A Mums Love, England



Like most Mums all I ever wanted to do was provide my chilldren with the best of everything and up until last year when disaster struck I thought that I could do that by working every hour god sent, dropping the kids of at nursery and school club at silly o clock in the morning and collecting them pretty much at bed time on a night! How wrong I was and how ashamed of myself I am to think that being a Mum was all about buying them anything and everything they ever wanted. After being involved in a horrible accident last year, my career has been taken away from me and I have realised that being a Mum..... a good Mum is about spending time with them, being there before and after school and in the holidays, making their tea, watching them squabble and fight about whos turn it is to watch a dvd or to go in the bath first...... they actually want and need their Mum! I always thought I was a good Mum but I was a rotten parent and although my accident has been horrendous and my life has been turned upside down the one good thing to come out of it is the realisation that my gorgeous kids need me, whatever state I may physically and emotionally be in.....they need, want and love their Mum......me! I cannot claim back the years that I have already missed out on but I sure as heck do not intend to let them down anymore. The irony of all of this is I actually borrowed money to pay for their childcare, was it worth it? No! And I now need help to pay it back as I have no income. I actually thought it was ok to never see or spend time with my kids..... a direct debit was effectively their Mum and I am disgusted with myself! I owe thousands to the bank for childcare debts, if I had my time again I would do things very differently I wish that I could turn back the clock but I cannot. I have made two promises the first one was to my two children in that I will never put anything before them ever again and the second was to myself to admit that I was a bad Mum and to pay back this debt as soon as possible so that I can close the door on that chapter of my life and look forward to the currently 'unknown' future. I know some of you will be disgusted with me for not realising how important my children were before my accident but all I will say is sometimes in life we all do things with good intentions without realising the damage we are actually causing. Others may be able to understand why I did what I did. Whatever your opinion is of me I honestly thought that I was doing right by my children, please if you can, help me to put right my wrongs. Thank you x

Heavily pregnant & recently widowed

Heavily pregnant & recently wi, England



I am completely new to this and see it as a last resort to ask for help from some extremely kind, generous people out there. I am 8 months pregnant and 11 weeks ago my beautiful husband was killed when he was hit by a drunk driver. I am beyond grief-stricken, both for the loss of the most amazing man in the world but also in the knowledge that he will never meet his Daughter (we found out the baby’s sex a week before he died). When he was hit, he was carrying a bag containing a newborn pink outfit and a rattle he had brought for her that day. Whilst all I want to do is grieve for my husband, I am plagued by the constant worry of how I will afford to bring my little girl up and manage on my own (neither of us have any family, we only had each other), and how to even give her the essentials she so desperately needs for when she arrives. We were struggling a bit financially before the accident but now I am at a complete loss without my Husband’s wages as I had to give up my job early on in pregnancy due to high risk complications (we had a previous little boy Ethan who was stillborn). This is why I feel I have lost everything in the world, and our beautiful little girl is the only light at the end of a very long and very dark tunnel. I am determined to do my absolute best for her and bring her up as we had planned to do together but I cannot stop worrying about how to even afford the rent, food, baby clothes etc. and alongside the grief, my life feels so completely overwhelming that I just don’t know what t do anymore or where to turn. This is a genuine cry for help, hoping that the goodwill of strangers will prevail to help someone in a desperate situation. I would be eternally grateful for any donation, however small to help ease some of the practical and financial worries I am facing. Thank you so much.
