Hi my name is Kristen I am 21 years old and I currently live on my own with the exception of my younger sister who I have guardianship of. I have been working two jobs to support her and myself. One business that I worked at has now closed down and I was just laid off of the other. I am doing everything I can to try and find employment as quickly as I can but it is very difficult. If I cannot provide a stable home for my younger sister I will lose guardianship of her and she will have to go into foster care and switch schools. Being able to pay rent and provide her with the necessities she needs is of such importance so she can stay with me and not have to be with strangers. Any help would be so gratefully appreciated. If you choose not to thank you for still taking the time to listen. :)

A little about me ... I'm a 26 year old man, I've worked since grade 8. Have always covered my own expenses through work and saving money for the things I need and want. I'm a very proud person, and have avoided asking my parents for money since I picked up my first job in grade 8. Why am I begging? Well, I've been off work due to having surgery on my wrist and elbow. My bank account is ridiculously low. I have no money coming in. I am weeks away from being released to return to work. AND, my roommate has decided to give our apartment up, and it's in her name, which means I need to come up with money to find a place to live. I don't expect you to give me money, I am merely asking those who may have some extra to consider it. I do not feel entitled to your money, but you would certainly make me incredibly grateful and indebted!

I am far from what I would consider a "begger". I have worked since I was in grade 8. Some weeks during my school years I worked full-time. I refused to ask my parents for money to buy needless things. But folks, I am appealing to kind and generous hearts. I do not feel entitled to your donations, I am merely asking if you have extra and are willing to help a young fella (26 years old), I would be most indebted to you all. I recently was taken off work for surgery on my arm. Elbow and wrist. Since getting taken off work, my funds have diminished immensely. Bills do that, apparently. I am not a partier, so my money isn't wasted on alcohol or tobacco or anything of the sort. My roomate who "owns" our apartment is giving it up, and I am now in need of the money to find new accomodations. Any help a generous soul could give would be appreciated beyond belief. Thank you in advance.

These days it just seems that my family cannot catch a break. Every time I think we are going to make it and start getting ahead something else happens and I go further into debt...now we are drowning in bills and are getting further and further behind...I would just appreciate it if those that have plenty would help out those who do not. I wish with all my heart to be financially stable in the near future and hopefully someday I can be the one helping others...I believe in the "pay it forward" attitude. Thank you in advance.
