So I was diagnosed with lung cancer in May of this year. I have a lot of expenses and no money. I am unemployed so any donations would be a big help. I have a go fund me but it has not raised very much money. https://www.gofundme.com/f/cdus5n-dear-f...ed-of-help I have 3 teenage children I have been raising on my own since my wife passed away from cancer 13 years ago. I am currently undergoing chemo therapy with the hope being that it will shrink the tumor enough to make me a candidate for surgery. I live in south jersey across the river from philly and it is expensive. I have car payments, insurance payments, rent, food expenses and all the other expenses that we all have. Please, please  help me out. If you do not want to donate at the go fund me link you can make a donation here paypal.me/lungcancer2019 Thank you in advance. 

I'm an only child raised by a single mom. I've been far away from my home state for almost two years now. My mother had been taking care of my autistic son. In February, she passed away suddenly. I didn't have the money or a car to get back home for her funeral. I have been struggling, trying to find a home, job, and vehicle so that I can go get my son and bring him with me and be closer to my daughter who lives with her father. I have honestly been struggling to get my life back together for almost 4 years. Every time I get one step towards my goal, life knocks me ten steps back. My family back home has been horrible to myself and my son and I worry about what they will do to him if I can't get there to get him soon. Please, PLEASE help me.

Hello! 

I am a single mom of an adorable two year old little boy. To summarize the craziest year ever, my son's father has chosen addiction over his family, terrorized me to the point of filing a PPO against him, where he in turn had my son and I evicted, sued me for joint custody tying up my money in legal fees, and has not helped with child support as he was court ordered to begin doing. 

I had only been back to work since December '18 when it was just clear that my now ex was not going to enter rehab willingly to work out his issues, the violence and fighting was intensifying, and I could no longer go through the stress of living on my credit cards and 'hoping' he would pay them off as he would tell me if I worked, I needed to 'move out of his house.' All the money I made and saved went to supporting my child, tires and repairs for my car, legal fees, the security deposit and rent for a house as he had us evicted. My credit cards are maxed from living in a hotel until the house was ready, charging my son's daycare, gas, diapers, and my dog's vet bill. I hit a pothole that was the mother of all potholes, broke something in the tire area as the rattling and sound it makes now is alarming and it knocked out the electrical in my car where one of my headlights does not work and the AC no longer comes out the top vents. I need to fix these things, but I am maxed. We do not have a couch for our house as my ex gave mine away when he bought new stuff. We weren't married, so I am not entitled to half of anything, and had to leave with less than what I came with. A couch is not an essential, I don't even have time to sit down. We don't have cable or internet, as these are not essentials. I am just stating that I am not spending money on unnecessary things while trying to make rent and utilities.

I am humbly asking for any and all help. If we can make it through this month, and I can find a new seven day a week job, we will make it from there. I am not proud to sit here and type this today. I wish I had family to turn to or run to, but that is not the case. I have been on my own since I was 18, I have supported myself and worked two jobs whenever I needed to as there is no one to turn to. If it weren't for my son, I would have no problem doing just that. But, I do have my son, I have to pay for daycare to work during the day, and I don't have enough consistant, reliable sitters to work a second job at night. 

Things have been rough, to say the least. I don't have time to sit and dwell and think about how 'unfair' things have been, or how things are so far off the 'life plan.' I can't sit here and wish that it had all turned out differently, I just have to keep going. Trying my best for my son. 

Where we stand. I have enough left on one credit card to charge his daycare next week. That will have us maxed out at just under $3200. I already asked for more credit and will not be able to receive another increase. I have enough in my checking to cover my $82 car insurance. I wanted to add renter's insurance to that this month, but will have to wait until hopefully next month. Hopefully, any of the applications I have been filling out call back and say they have a position, seven days a week for me! As well I will obviously keep looking and having to look a little farther out from his daycare and where we live until I find something. I will find something I know this, just time is not on my side right now. My lawyer has run through my $5,000 retainer, and has sent a bill for another $98 which was due immediately, plus we are supposedly going to court twice next week with my ex, which will run me a new bill- if my ex shows up as he skipped June's court date. I owe DTE $45 for two weeks of service due the 19th, and the water bill should be arriving any day. I owe minimum $27 on two credit cards, for $54 by the 17th. My prepaid phone is only $44.40 per month and runs through the 30th. If they try to take that from my credit card and there is no available credit, there is no more phone. $1200 for rent is due the first of the month, but not late until after the 5th. If my ex hadn't started dragging me through court, and reached civil agreements as I asked, I wouldn't be out $5,000 and would have that money for my bills. If he had paid any of the three months of child support he was court ordered to pay, May, June, and July, I would have that. He hasn't given me a penny since November, nor himself paid for daycare, bought food, diapers, wipes, clothes, coats, etc but as my son and I lived there until we were evicted May 27th, he is not being held liable for child support through that time. I had to pay movers to move out, had to pay for storage, had to pay movers to move to the new house. I charged everything I could to have cash to pay movers and at least the security deposit and rent.

I am trying, believe me I am trying! My son is amazing. Through this last year I have tried my best to keep my stress from him, and he remains a happy, smiling baby. His smiles and giggles are worth every moment of stress. I try to remain thankful for our health, and remind myself that hard times don't last forever. Just in this moment, we could use a little help to get going on our own. Every bit, even the slightest would help. I have set up a paypal account with the email WeNeedAVillage@yahoo.com. 

Thank You With All Of My Heart

I am a mom of 3 amazing children, and I am basically being held hostage by the man I once loved.
I am 32 years old, and I met my husband when we were 15. We had our first son when we were 18, got married, and we were a normal family. (or so I thought). For the next several years we continued to build a life together. We bought a house, had 2 more kids, I had a nice car that fit the whole family, and I had worked my way up to being a district manager with a decent salary for a QSR franchise.
That’s when things in my marriage started to fall apart. My husband was starting to drink all the time and he became very mentally abusive. It happened gradually over the course of a few years, and when I just couldn’t be the only one at home trying to keep my family together anymore, I told him I wanted a divorce, so he moved out.(not a huge adjustment because he was rarely ever home before midnight by that time). After about 2 weeks he came back and told me he was sorry and he knew he had a problem, but he was going to fix everything. He said we needed a fresh start and he needed to get away from all the bad influences in his life. So he convinced me to pack up my whole life and move across the country. We didn’t have very much equity in our house, so when we moved we were back to renting. I made the best of it, found a job equal to what I had been doing before, and was settling in to our new life. That lasted about 6 months. One day out of the blue, he said he just couldn’t be there anymore. He said we were too far away from our family, and the kids needed to be closer to their cousins and grandparents. He said I shouldn’t worry because he knew what was important now and if we came home, things would still be ok with our marriage. So once again I agreed to upend my life and move back across the country.
When we got back, we stayed with family for a week or so, until he got home from work one day and told me he had found a place to rent. He had gotten a job making good money, and told me I could be a stay at home mom if I wanted to be able to spend more time focusing on the kids. A short time later, he came home with a new truck and said it was a surprise for me. He had gotten rid of our SUV and gotten the truck for me instead. I was so happy. I had my husband back, I was spending more time with my kids, and I had a new truck. Things were starting to really look great. I WAS SO WRONG!! I had absolutely no idea what was really going on and what was about to happen.
It was like a switch flipped, and all the light in my world went away. My husband had me right where he wanted me and I didn’t even know it. He quickly turned into someone I didn’t even know. The drinking came back with a vengeance, and he was horrible to me. He came home late every single night, left every weekend, and only talked to me if he was calling me names or letting me know how worthless I was. I was not going to put up with that crap again, so I decided I was going to leave him. But…..I realized I couldn’t. I had been manipulated into giving up every single resource I once had.
So now I am living in a nightmare. I gave up my job, my car, my home. I am not allowed to have my own keys to the truck, or a bank card. I am stuck in the house 90% of the time. When I have to go get food or do anything I have to beg him to use his truck and his bank card. And then he will tell me how much Im allowed to spend and he even times how long it takes me until I get back. I’m also not allowed to go anywhere by myself so I have to have at least one of the kids with me at all times. He has told me that if I leave, he will make sure he gets full custody of my kids since I have nothing to offer them and no way to take care of them right now. I do everything in my power to hide the reality of my situation from my kids, because that is not something they should have to worry about. So I carry all of my pain and fear and helplessness silently. I am trapped and I don’t know what to do. I need to be financially able to escape this situation with my kids nd not be afraid of him being able to have them taken from me for not being able to take care of them until I get back on my feet. I never though I would be in this position. I thought I was living the American dream, and I was really having everything including my freedom taken from me by a monster manipulator. Any help is appreciated more than you could ever know. I just need to get myself and my kids in a safe situation and be able to take care of them until I can find a new job. I will be having to start over with basically nothing but some clothes until Im completely out from under my husbands control and able to get back to work and get divorced. Please please, this is my last hope.

Hi all,

I'm reaching a desperate stage so thought I'd try this.

I am in desperate need of £2000. I have had to take out multiple payday loans to sort out a personal issue with a close friend of mine but have not yet rectified my situation so the loan companies are now chasing me for the money. I have had days where I haven't eaten and am struggling to pay for rent and home bills.
I have had to take advances with my wage so cannot rely on this at the moment which I normally would as I work full time.
With this £2000 I would be able to sort out my debts and get my life back on track. I'm not just looking for a donation but more of a loan as I would be intending to pay back anyone who helps me with the full amount plus and extra £500.

This is a genuine request, not a scam and would be happy to provide more details about myself. This is time sensitive and would need this within the week.

Thanks for reading,
James

My partner runs a building company and employed me as admin staff back in 2016, together we have grown the company and have reached a stage where we our logo is now recognised by the general public. In December 2017 we won our first new build contact for a residential client, unfortunately in March 2018 I lost my younger brother, the grief took over and my work slipped, with the help of family and the NHS I started to become myself again in November 2018. By the time I was back on my feet and ready to continue work the company had missed payment deadlines, the guys on site had not worked at the speed they should have done, thus leaving us £60,000 short on finishing our new build project. I feel I have let him down and ruined a company he has worked so hard to build, I am now lost as to where I can get the money from. 

I need help on paying my institution. I was able to make a deal and have an 46% discount which is huge for this kind of place where only the elite people go. My talent was recognized and they have me a chance. But I don't have any family or friends that can help with that and my job only covers food and rent. I don't want to give up on my dream but there is no way I can afford it. This is a impossible situation where I almost thought of giving up on my own life but I found this forum and I am not giving up. This forum made me see I am not all alone and I can find people who actually cares. And it was so refreshing it gave me new strength. I have only three months to raise this money. It was the time they gave me. Any amount would help me out. Before I was thinking about o proud to register myself but yes I am begging. I want to realize my dream. I need to be free. I need to live. I am tired of working and going home and waking up to work again. I do not live. I do not know what I did to be abandoned this way with no family since my grandmother passed away but I will fight and I need help to be able to stand up in my feet. I will hold with all my strength in this change they gave me. So please if anyone can help me please do.
