This is very difficult for me since I've never had to ask for help before.  Ever since I was discharged from the U.S. Army, I'm a Vietnam Era Veteran, I've always been able to provide for myself and pay the bills.  My wife and I have worked our entire adult lives and although we've never been wealthy, we've always lived comfortably and provided for our children.  Then our lives changed drastically when the company I worked for downsized and I lost my good paying job after almost two decades with the company.  I had a small pension and my wife still had her job.  Things were tight, but we were able to get by and pay the bills.  I looked for work, but because of my age no one would hire me.  Even the unemployment office told me that my age has a lot to do with me not being able to find work.  They told me that employers are not allowed to discriminate because of age, but unfortunately they do.
     Just when we thought things couldn't get worse, I had to have my forth and last joint replacement.  I'd already had both hips and one knee totally replaced and now I needed my other knee replaced.  The operation went smoothly and I started rehabilitation, but just six weeks after my knee replacement I had a heart attack.  After all was said and done, my doctors said I needed to go on disability, that I would never be able to work like I did my entire life.  So I applied for Social Security Disability and was approved with no problem.  This helped some, we were just able to pay the bills, then six months later we were hit with another setback.  My wife was diagnosed with throat cancer.  She had to undergo radiation treatments five days a week for seven weeks and it really took its toll on her.  She was finally able to return to work, but between the medical bills from my heart attack and my wife's throat cancer, we were in bad shape financially.  It doesn't end here.
     Our oldest daughter was feeling ill and we told her she needed to see a doctor.  She kept resisting saying she was the major bread winner in her household since her husband, a roofer by trade, had fallen off a thirty foot roof and was severely injured.  He was in and out of the hospital for a long time and he finally had to have his left leg amputated since the doctors couldn't save it.  Since then, he has only been able to work occasional odd jobs.  Our daughter finally saw a doctor and found out her problem was a large mass in her abdomen which required surgery.  Since she was now unable to work and her husband only worked occasionally, it didn't take long for them to lose their place of residence.  Well, we couldn't have them and their six children living on the street, so my wife and I told them they could move in with us.  We prayed that we could work it out.
     Since then, our utilities have more than doubled.  Our cost for food increased even more because now we are feeding ten people instead of two.  Our major focus is on the children because we have to provide them a roof, food and clothing.  My wife and I have liquidated everything we owned of value just to provide.  We are barely keeping the mortgage and utilities up to date.  We're paying the past due amounts on the utilities just to keep them on.  The bill collectors are hounding us constantly, some of them are threatening to garnish my wife's wages.  If that happens, we will all be out on the street.
     Like I said in the beginning of this post, it is difficult for me to ask for help, but I'm just hoping that someone, some generous person can help us get through this situation.  We're not asking for much.  Just enough to get by until we can improve our situation on our own.  Thank you for reading this post and thank you to those who are willing to help us.

me and my girlfriend and five children have been made homeless recently. My other half is in a BnB for the time being with no cooking facilities, so we are going out every night for food. I have looked around for help but haven't found any food charities that will allow children in due to safeguarding issues. We are trying to search for places to live that accept DSS (housing benefits) I am unable to stay in this BnB because they wouldn't allow us to be in a room together with the children so currently staying between several different places. Looking for what ever assistance I can get.

Good day.  Please I am asking for your help financailly I have not work for 11 years due to chemical imbalance in the brain.  My only child who uses to help me died.  I have bills to pay.  Please i would be grateful for any amount.  My paypal is davisskeeter4039@gmail.com

I'll try not to take up a lot of your time. I can't believe I am doing this as I am not one to reach out for help. My wife and I have fallen on some difficult times. She needed to leave her job due to health and personal issues in April 2018. This past March she was hospitalized and was in the ER in April and just a couple weeks ago. Currently we have a $150 that I am not sure how it will be paid. She continues to have medical issues and follow up appointments. 

The past year has been quite a challenge. Our rent just went up, but  it is not feasible for us to move at this time. I help people everyday with my job and now I am the one who needs help. I have tried to find a part-time job for some extra income to no avail. My wife and I tried cutting back on expenses and we are not sure what else we could cut back on. We live pretty simple. We rarely treat ourselves, usually going out only for groceries and necessities. We do not have family and friends who are in a position to help us. 

If only I could get some or all of my credit card and student loan debts paid, I would be in a better position financially. Most days I feel like a failure because I should be able to take care of both of us. October 21 will be eight years since my father is gone. My brother was my only sibling and he passed away 10 years ago last month. May 19 would have been his 42nd birthday. 

I realize it's a lot to ask and that you probably see many requests like this. I know there are many people out there who are not telling the truth, but I would not lie about my plight or waste anyone's time if I didn't need the help. I have had people when I asked for help in the past who tried to take advantage of me. I would not do that to you and hope you would not do to me. However, I could certainly understand if you are unable to assist us. I know there are others who have things much worse. If anything, I ask for prayers. 

Thank you for reading my request and any help you are able to offer.

First a little about me.  My name is Michelle.  I suffer from scoliosis which causes daily back pain, major depression, social anxiety, anxiety, and thyroid problems.   I am on disability but I owe money for medical and more.  I really am not good at asking or begging for money.  Part of that is from embarrassment for needing help, some if from anxiety.   If you can please donate any amount of money it would be greatly appreciated!

The money will be used for medical and to pay off some bills.  I do of course combine shipping.  Thank you.

Hello everyone!
I would first like to say this is my first time ever asking for any type of help. I'm usually the type of person to give instead of receiving, it's just the way I have been brought up. I've always found a way to pay for what I need, even if that meant going without other things, and have gotten by alright. I just finished school and have started working. I'm looking for more jobs to help support myself but I currently only have enough to pay for the essentials. 

Recently, my teeth started  causing me issues, I started having pain about three months back. I decided I would go to the dentist right away as I hadn't been in a while and my mouth was really sore. Long story short, they told me my wisdom teeth were impacting other teeth and all four would need to be removed. They were also what had been causing my teeth to go crooked, overlap and cause difficulty eating and chewing. The first thought that popped into my head was, this is so painful but I won't be able to afford any of it. I have no way to cover what I need, no insurance, no saved up money and sadly no family to even ask for a small loan. The only close family I have is my mom, who like me, isn't financially stable right now so I wouldn't even think to ask her. I know she would help me even if it meant it would put her further behind, I can't do that to her. 


So the only way to make my teeth better and stop the pain would be to first get all four wisdom teeth removed. After I healed from that, I was recommend to get braces right away to not only fix the impacted teeth but to help relieve my crowed teeth that are also causing pain. I wouldn't even have enough to cover the first part of the process. Sadly, all the things I need are super expensive. I've never had super bad teeth and I suppose just got unlucky.


I've run out of options. So I'm here to ask if anyone can help. I would love to stop having to take pain killers to help mange the pain. To be able to eat properly again without hurting. And to have a smile I'm proud of, making me want to smile again. 


I know how tough it is for everyone sometimes. So I even really appreciate anyone who just reads this. I've always tried to give when I can and know that even a little can go a long way. Even a small domination would help tremendously, it would put me on step closer to a life without a painful mouth. I appreciate anyone who donates. You've really helped someone who needs it.

Unfortunately I’m dealing with financial hardships and my car took a shit on me. I don’t have the finances or time to dally with it : and it’s hard to get to work and appointments because of it. I can’t afford a new one and don’t qualify for loans. So now I’m here! I don’t even need anything lavish. Just to get from point A to B. Anything helps!

Hello - I am the mother of 5 children and my husband's business went under awhile back and we have had a very tough time picking up the pieces from all of this.   We basically lost everything and this has been extremely stressful for our family.   We had to sell all of our personal belongings and our house as well.   We both are working full time but some months find it hard to make ends meet.   What I am hoping to get is some money built up for an emergency fund (unexpected car expenses, medical and dental expenses, kid stuff....)   This would give me some peace of mind and also some hope in this situation.    Thank you so much for your consideration.     Here's my paypal link:    paypal.me/ssdenison
