I urgently need financial assistance

Oct 23, 2010

I posted my request the wrong place. I'm a Licensed Practical Nurse who never thought she would have a problem finding a job or posting on the internet requesting financial assistance. October 2008, the facility where I was working decreased their nursing staff because their cenus was too low and they had other issues that needed to be corrected. I've been able to maintain my financial situation by working medical and nonmedical temporary agencies and contracting myself out. During this time, I have been networking, submitted numerous resumes and  attended job related workshops.  Now I have a crisis; I need a remaining balance of $3500 by November 12, 2010 to stop my house from going into foreclosure. Also I want to thank you in advance for whatever help you may give me, referrals or cash it all will be greatly appreciated. Once this problem has been resolved if there is some place I can give back to help someone else, let me know.

I'm 21 years old and recently had to move to illinois from california due to family issues. I am staying with a friend but will not be able to live in her apartment for long. I am a pharmacy technician and have been looking for jobs ever since I got here and have had no such luck. I don't have for simple necessities (shampoo, conditionder, etc.) let alone half of my rent or utilities. I need emergency assistance in everything imaginable and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am very scared of being alone and homeless in a not so nice part of town. ANything helps even advice.

Feeling Desperate  

About Feeling Desperate

Sep 16, 2010
I am a 35 year old mother to four children.  My husband works hard for a living (60-70 hours per week) but we just can't make ends meet.  I am currently looking for full-time work to try to improve our situation but I am having very little luck in this economy.  We were forced to file a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy about a year and a half ago in order to save our house.  The wage garnishment on my husband's paycheck is over $450 a week and takes up most of his check.  We are left with very little to live on or pay bills with.  Right now, as I type this, my bank account is $600 negative...mainly due to bank fees I have incurred since going negative a few days ago.  Hubby gets paid today, but his check will only cover the negative balance in the account and there will be nothing left to pay this week's bills or buy groceries.  The school tuition for my kids is due to be automatically deducted on Monday and I will not have enough money in my account.  I have shut off notices on my Gas, Electric, Water, and Car Insurance.  I will never have enough money to keep all of these things turned on.  Please, if anyone can find it in their heart to donate even a small amount....anything at all would help us out.  I have tried to find help with all of the government and charitable organizations I can find but in most cases, we don't qualify because my husband works hard and makes "too much money".  Our annual income is usually about $50,000, but that is for a family of six and in today's economy...it just isn't cutting it.  We are hardworking people, willing to work, and willing to help others out whenever we can.  We just need a little help to stay afloat until I can find full-time work.  I really need to raise a minimum of $1000...and fast.  The utilities are getting shut off the middle of next week.  If you can help at all, you can send donations through paypal to this email address....  kellymatthews1975@hotmail.com.  I promise you this is not a scam...we are real people, in genuine need of a little help and kindness.  Thank you and God Bless...

    HELLO....I am a mother of 2 kids. I had a 3rd child, a 3-year-old little boy, but he died of an illness contracted from daycare. Their father was murdered at the Hyatt Hotel when he went to an out of town football game. He was shot in the head during a robbery, so now I am on my own. To say my situation is desperate is an understatement. I used to have a great job for a vet. I wasn't rich but I didn't have to struggle to eat. I was diagnosed with a medical condition called pseudotumor, which is a condition that causes an increase of spinal fluid to build up in my skull and around my brain. I have severe headaches and from time to time, from the fluid pressing against my optic nerve, I lose my eyesight temporarily. I have not been able to work due to this illness. I can't even afford to go to the doctor anymore because I don't have insurance. Well, when you don't work, you can't get paid. I have sold every piece of jewelry I own, electronics, or anything of value which could bring in a few bucks. Pawning, yard sales, and mowing grass for the neighbors has kept me in my home thus far, but I have nothing left to sell. My kids were so hungry tonight and I was so desperate. I went to some of the nicer restaurants close by and waited until they put some of the uneaten food out in the trash. I gathered up as much as I could that was on top and took it home. I put it on plates and my kids were so excited. They thought I had gone to the restaurant and gotten dinner. I know there are a lot of people out there who need so much help, but I am begging anyone out there who is able...please, please, anything you can do will be so appreciated and I thank you more than you know. This story is not fabricated or embellished-these are the actual facts of my life and I am so ashamed. I just want my kids to be okay and I know any parents out there know what it feels like to want so desperately to be able to take care of your kids. Thank you. And thank you to my neighbor for letting me use her computer to find these sights. Everyone has been so kind.
