Hi, well I'm not really a person to ask for help but unfortunately I'm in desperate need. I really don't know what to do so I'm finally asking for help from all you generous people.
Where do I begin... unfortunately just before Christmas my father's brother passed away from a fall in the night ? then in February my brother passed away found in his flat. March we had his funeral and exactly a week after on the 29th of March my mother passed away ? ? my whole world came crashing down she was my best friend my only friend ? ?
So I've been helping my father with all the funeral expenses as much as I could and due to this we cannot afford to buy my mother a headstone that she deserves ?
But also I've fallen behind on bills ?and the debts keep going up. I'm a single mother of 4 amazing children and I'm struggling badly please if you can donate just anything to help I'm so desperate for your help right now.
Please If you could donate anything I'm asking for £5000, to get my mums headstone and to get me out of debt
Honestly thank you so much even for reading ?
Writing this request forces me to reflect on the decisions and missteps that got me to this lowly place, the lowest of my life, of being broke at middle age with little hope of turning it around. As much as I would like to lay out details of a horrific accident, life altering health issue or a tragic life event, the truth is that there is no one to blame but myself. The predicament I’m in is 100% my fault and I’m asking for the kindhearted and generous philanthropists here to truly hear me, to put yourself in my shoes and feel the despair, hopelessness, frustration & heavy burden of not being able to pay your bills or help those around you. I’m hoping that some of you will reflect on your own lives and find some common thread to mine. I made stupid mistakes. But we make mistakes. We make horrible mistakes. Should we have to pay for them for the rest of our lives? Even if they are done out of love and care for others? I pray. I pray every day that God will hear me and bring me out of this. I pray every day that somehow, someway, I will be able to make all things right in my life, to a point that I will be able to help others in this world that are in need. I feel best when I’m helping others, but I’m unable to do that due to me not being able to even take care of my own problems now. I ask that you believe in me and give me the help I desperately need to get through this extremely difficult time. In trying to help others that are close to me, I somehow lost my sense of self-worth. I feel worthless if I am not able to help someone financially when they need it. All I’ve done for the last 4 years is give my money away to my kids, my girlfriend and others that have needed it. Now I’m in the horrible position of having to say no to them, and even worse, not being able to pay back the money I have borrowed to help them. I do not have any assets left. I rent my apartment. I don’t have a car of my own. No savings. I’m asking for $300,000 to pay off all of my debt and get me back on a path to a self-supporting life. Big picture is, I want to be in your shoes, able to be generous. I want to be a benefactor for others in legitimate need. I feel that my purpose here is to give to others. Please help me so that I can fulfill what I feel is the reason for my existence.
I’m new to this so I want to thank who ever reads this in advance. My name is Christine and I have 4 children. My 2 younger ones have had ongoing medical issues that have literally drained me both financially and emotionally as I’m working over time just to make sure they eat. Mr biggest problem is since I was forced to choose between my well paying job and my children I have been driving for Uber. Things started off great be because my kids knew that if they ever needed me to text me 911 and I knew that meant I had to finish what every trip I was on and get to them. My daughter who is 17 has been dealing with pain and swelling in her right leg since she was 12. Then my son who is now 15 had a surgery to remove a non-osyfying fibroma from his leg. It wasn’t cancerous so we got lucky there but they took 90% off his bone right above his ankle over 3 inches and he just hasn’t been the same active kid since. Then when I thought things couldn’t get any worse Covid hit and we all got our shots and he started having problems with his heart. He randomly has trouble breathing and chest pains and turns purple from lack of oxygen while Jess having an episode. Between the hospital and 3 cardiologists I have been to they say he has an unknown abnormal ekg. They won’t say or deny that it’s from the cocos shot but it started 2 days after but I can’t leave him alone and I miss a lot of work. Than as the episodes became less frequent when he started noticing the signs before they came on I was able to work more and things were starting to look up. Than the rental I have with hertz through Uber started giving me issues and I started missing work and swapped the vehicle 3 times and was still charged for days they were in the shop and every month the rent I owed became more and more. I’m currently trying to deal with that as I called them out on Facebook and finally got someone to start looking into it but it doesn’t fix the fact that I’m behind allot and it’s only growing. I can give a pay pal or cash app but honestly I would rather just give the name of the company that collects the rent for the development I live in and any help would mean alot to help keep a roof over my kids heads. So if there is anyone out there with a big heart and the ability to help it would mean the world.
Thank you in advance for any kindness. My wife and I had planned the Summer for our family with our five children. Our last summer together. Had planned and budgeted for everything. One “last hurrah” vacation; some short day trips; concerts. Then we were hit with a medical emergency with corresponding medical bills. And unexpected child orthodontist charges. And two unexpected increased college tuition charges. A perfect storm that wiped out our budgeted money. We have nonrefundable plane tickets and cannot pay the vacation. I am not going to lie. We do not have it as bad as many but I do not want to fail my children. I feel guilty asking for anything. We have always tried to help others in need so I hope there is some karma or reciprocal kindness. I hesitate to ask for a specific amount as I already feel guilty. But any drop in the bucket keeps the bucket from being empty. Particularly for my younger children, this is all they have been looking forward to for months and I can’t fail them - particularly my son who is on the spectrum. Again, thank you to anyone for any kindness. Bless you.
First let me say thank you for anyone kind enough to respond. My wife and I made summer plans for our family - 5 kids. A last nice vacation that would involve all of us. A few day trips. Some local concerts. Nothing overly extravagant but that would be fun - especially for the two youngest. Tried to plan and budget. The we were hit with a medical crisis and unexpected medical bills. And an unexpected orthodontist bill. And increases in two college tuitions that will essentially wipe out what we had put aside. I am trying to avoid failing my children who were so excited. And this was the last summer we would all be together. I know we do not have it as bad as others which makes me feel guilty. We have always tried to be charitable and help others when they need it. I hope there is some karma or reciprocal kindness. I feel guilty asking for any specific amount because honestly any drop in the bucket is more than an empty bucket. I have non-refundable plane tickets and no way to pay for the trip. I won’t say I need a miracle. But I do need help. Please. Thank you for reading.
Hello, My name is Martha. I quit my job 9 months ago, as it was a very toxic environment. I would work for 11 hours from 9 a.m to 8 p.m. It would get so bad that I would wake up crying and sleep crying. One time, I got home and all the strength left my body and I just collapsed at the door. When I noticed that I was getting suicidal thoughts, I decided to quit. I had saved up a bit of money and that pushed me through for a couple months. Then, when I had finished up my savings I borrowed money from some of my friends and family. Then soon that wasn't enough. I had borrowed from almost all my friends. I tried looking for other jobs but all my emails went unanswered. I did odd jobs here and there so I could be able to take care of my family, all the money I made went into bills and food. I have now hit a dead end. I am unable to pay my debt or make money to take care of my family. I am humbly asking please, from the kindness of your heart, please help me with anything you have, even if it's a $1. I will really appreciate and I am able to stand on my two feet, I will come back here and donate, because I know how hard life can get. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

I’m an American currently in a "prisoner situation" Uzbekistan. Why? Well…let me tell you why.
I have been living in Asia for about sixteen years now, mainly the Philippines, with short tutoring stints in the ROC. I came back to the P.I. to visit my family in January 2020 during the Spring Festival. As you well know this is about the start of the Covid19 pandemic and the following week the Beijing govt. locked the border.
Being pro-active I began teaching ESL online for various platforms to continue a meager income for my children and my wife. At the end of the lock-outs and lock-downs in the fall of 2022 I began having a regular student from UZB by the name of N. Ismanov. This person, after a few lessons, began pitching UZB as a great place to live and work. He was also trying to sell to me on an IELTS school project in Chirchik. He had been looking for a “native speaker” for his project and told me I would be a partner in his project. His offer of salary was low: $1000 U.S. per month but he agreed to bump it up to $1500 U.S. While this was still low it was more stable than working online.
As most persons would I did my due diligence: I searched UZB, Chirchik, and his name using various search engines. The only thing I found was a warning from the U.S. govt. saying not to go within five miles of the Afghanistan border. Well, common sense would prevail with most westerners not to go for a stroll in Taliban controlled AFG. And his name brought up no info or alarming narratives.
N.I. offered to pay for my air tickets, explained the housing available, and that he would handle all expenses of entering UZB. I booked my tickets for January 21-22 and flew out. Once on the ground in Tashkent is where the red flags began flying. N.I. met me at the immigration entry point and asked me if I had $900 U.S. for an entry visa. Of course I had not anticipated this expense and did not have it on me. Also since he’d promised, yes promised, that all expense would be covered by him I had no reason to be carrying this kind of cash. He arranged for the funds while I waited at the entry point and found out later he’d ran around borrowing the money from friends.
At the airport he introduced me to a kid named “Robert” that would be my “assistant” for all local matters who would live with me 24/7. This person was with me everywhere and I couldn’t go for a walk by myself; why will be explained later.
The beginnings of his school weren’t the greatest: he’d made an agreement with a local principal to use a couple of rooms at Chirchik no. 9 school. There was no heat in a record cold winter and constant distractions from the students at the school.
He did not, and has not, run his school professionally; constant interruptions by him and his staff during classes and other issues, printed texts from online publishers, lack of school supplies, and other issues.
The first payday was to be in April and came and went without full salary. A few hundred which I used for some food and sent what I could to my wife. Until this day I still have not received that month’s pay or the following month’s as well. My son needs monthly injections for a medical condition, my wife needs funds for a full medical work up, and my daughter needs medicine(s) for her asthma.
N.I. has changed the location of the school twice in 3 months and we’re now in a run-down old Soviet structure. Why he keeps changing locations to me is obvious: he has no operating capital for the previous venues and moves to avoid the owners.
After about five weeks he moved me out of the shared apartment and moved me in with his wife, kids, and foster kids. I cannot go anywhere by myself and am watched 24/7. There have been “windows” where I could escape where he leaves or the family is sleeping but there are no funds for leaving UZB.
Things have currently worsened:
·I have been taking daily beatings to “stimulate my energy” or “improve my motivation”.
·I have been sick multiple times from the living quarters situation, classroom situation, or food.
·I’m working 10 hours per day with no breaks.
·He has indicated because of the costs of moving to a new location there may be no funds available
for my expenses.
·He constantly asks me for money for tasks or food for his family and I’m draining what funds I have.
·For meals I get whatever is left from his groups munchings and not much.
·He takes me around to local schools to pitch his center to the students. One of the students warned
me that I’m a target for kidnapping.
To escape this disaster I will need at least $2000 U.S. for air tickets, and other necessary ground plans;
OR air tickets and $1200 U.S. for the same activities. My phone number in UZB is 998770171958 but I’m not available 24/7 please be aware of the Tashkent time zone. My email address is [email=funteacher2014@aol.com]funteacher2014@aol.com[/email].
I have pre-staged my gear and am ready to go as soon as I can get the needed help. I’m not being dramatic or unreasonable in my request. However, if I cannot escape this fiasco I will probably die here. Please help me get back to my family! Ed Martucci.
I am writing to request your assistance in obtaining funds that will enable me to purchase dentures. I am ashamed to admit that I find myself in a difficult situation, and I am hoping that you can find it in your hearts to help me.
For years, I have struggled with dental issues, but recently they have taken a turn for the worse. My teeth have begun falling out, leaving me with a smile that I am too ashamed to show to the world. The pain has been almost unbearable at times, and I have found myself avoiding social situations altogether.
However, the problem goes far beyond vanity. Because of my dental condition, I have been unable to work, and thus unable to provide for my children. My savings have dried up, and I am starting to see that the future is looking bleak. I am constantly worried about how I will put food on the table or pay for basic needs such as electricity and water.
What's worse, I fear that my decaying teeth may actually kill me. I know that dental infection is a very real risk, and with the state of my teeth right now, I am putting myself in danger every single day. I am terrified that I will not be around to care for my children if things continue like this.
That's why I am turning to you, the kind-hearted members of this community, for help. I am humbly asking for donations that will enable me to purchase badly needed dentures. With these dentures, I will be able to return to work, earn a living and provide for my children on a consistent basis.
I understand that you may have many others requesting your time and your resources. But please know that any amount you are able to contribute will make an enormous difference in my life and the lives of my children. I promise to work tirelessly to repay your generosity by paying it forward to others in need once my situation improves.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and for considering a donation towards my dental fund. I look forward to one day being able to show off my new smile, and to once again being able to fully participate in all of life's joys.
