My mother is about to move to Texas and my father is homeless as well, and he's developed a drug habit that's made him unreliable. I was forced to move in with my employer from the flea market, and we've both been living in his van.
Today, the manager locked us out of the flea market. My employer's bosses have apparently not been paying the bills for the spot, so now we've lost our only job.
I don't have a car, and I've been trying to find a job, but I don't have reliable transportation. We are about to lose our spot where the van is parked, and when that happens, we will have nowhere to go. The van is still not running, and we don't have the money to tow it, and we have nowhere to put it even if we did. I've been trying to see a doctor at Cherokee because my leg has been hurting and giving out due to an old injury I received when I got hit by a truck. It's been hard having to walk everywhere with all my belongings on my back and my leg acting up all the time.
I'm at the end of my rope, and I don't know what to do anymore. We're stuck and we don't have anything going for us.
I don't like to ask for money, but I have no options now. I planned to get an RV, but things haven't been working out well enough. Really, I think an RV would solve a lot of our problems. We'd be able to travel to the other markets where my friend used to work back when he had a working vehicle, and we would always have a place to sleep when worse comes to worse. That's primarily what I need money for.
I can't entirely rely on my friend for this because he's older & has a list of health problems that prevent him from doing a lot of the work he used to do. I have to do something.
I have to find a job, get a vehicle, and get on my feet. My friend doesn't have any benefits or retirement, and I don't have any insurance or savings. I had a plan for my home and a job lined up, but I didn't know I'd be without a home so suddenly. I was relying on my fiance's car before I ended up single.
I really need to get an RV and start over. I'd appreciate any help you could give us. Thank you.
In the Fall Semester of 2017 , I will be attending Howard University. Ever since I was kid I always dreamed of going to the illustrious Howard University. The only problem is that Out-Of-State Tuition costs $12,554(yearly). I only received an on campus job from FAFSA, because I didn't want to be in debt. I also work 3 jobs while currently finishing high school. I haven't had any luck with outside scholarships. My mom is not right financially right now to help me, so I'm paying for my education on my own. I was accepted to two other schools ,University of Mississippi and Clark Atlanta, who both offered only FAFSA and no scholarships. I've been having a really hard time lately. I really want to go to Howard. I will be working at other jobs as well as my on campus job. I am in the Top 10% of my graduating class. I am a great kid with Mostly A's and A Few B's. I take Honors classes and have no disciplinary or attendance issues. I work hard in all my classes and always do my best. I know it sounds pretty cliche but I do all those things. I'm not like most people, and most people are not like me. When I get to Howard I want to attend Howard's School of Business to study Management, because after getting my Undergraduate, I want to be my own boss and start my own business. I want to start out small then expand. I'm only 19, but I have huge plans for myself. I really want to go to college to better me and my family. Both me and my older brother are first generation. He wants to study in Dentistry and will be attending University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. I graduate from school on May 25, 2017. When my name is called, and walk that stage to receive my diploma and handshake that's when I'll know my journey has just begun. I'll know I have made my mother proud, me and my older sibling. My mother always told me and my brother to be better than she ever was. She also said,"Never go through all the stress and struggle to end up with a job, end up with a career. Something you'll never get tired of." Her voice echoes through my head everyday while in school telling me to give up and keep pushing towards the end, now I know it's all been worth it. I live in Mississippi. All I'm asking for is $7000 to get through the first semester then I will be alright until the income starts to kick in.

I am a teacher in a private school in Indonesia There are about 350 students. We have a visiting library program once a week. But the most students are not excited to read. They feel boring because the books are not up to date and various. they want to read novel for teenangers that they have ever seen the books just like in the books store in town. But they did'nt find them in library.
Since that time i tried to think how to buy some new books or novel books for teenangers, i tried to think harder until I bought 5 novel books for teenager with my money. I offered that books to the students. they can bring home, but not free, they must pay IDR 10.000 (around $1) per 15 days. In my surprise, they grabbed all the books immidiately. And they pushed me to bring more books every day.
and now I have around 100 books, i bought these books from the loan of my friend. i don't think i can pay back the loan in this month. i still have $200 loan. SAomebody please help me. i am waiting for your help. thank u.

I'm a woman living in Scotland with PTSD. I've fallen on hard times with money, my fiancé keeps track of my finances and doesn't let me access any money. He doesn't know about this bank account and I just need a little for food to get me by this month.
Thanks for clicking on my thread. I'm living with PTSD in Scotland and have nothing to my name. It's been a hard month, and if anyone could spare even the smallest amount for me to save up for a meal to get me by this rough patch I would be eternally grateful.
I'm a single mom struggling to make ends meet. I work hard every day to provide for us. Lately business is slow. Any donations will help us. I'm 500.00 behind on our rent and need to get our car serviced. Thank you for reading this.
This is Pratima, 47, from India. I am a Science Microbiology Graduate. Now in financial difficulty from 2011, since I lost my job. Since then I am working in temporary jobs earning about INR 2500 ($37) per month. I am unable to get a well-paying job in India due to the age factor. I work as a Tutor and am currently not employed since summer holidays have set in. Besides my employer did not pay me for the last 2 months.
Its very difficult for me to cover even my basic expenses. I have old parents to take care of.
I am just about sustaining myself. At times, I have medical expenses to cover. I don’t visit the doctor.
I just self-medicate. I need funds for my sinus operation, but I am putting it off for now.
To enhance my job skills I joined an educational course, I paid my 1st year fees. But am unable to pay for the 2nd year. I’ve exhausted all my savings.It comes to INR 15000/. Plus I need some money for travelling to attend classes, Internship of 4 months, stationery and books. Total appox 35,000/-
My home roof is leaking and I need to put a shed above it before rains set in June (INR 1,50,000/-).
Unable to pay my bills, I’ve stayed without power for 4 months in 2014, and for 5 months without cooking gas in 2016. But now I am seeking help. Can you help me out with $1000 or whatever you deem fit. So that I can cover some of the above immediate expenses.
Since I lost my job, I’ve been trying to get a well-paying one, but in vain. By Indian standards too this INR 2500 per month is pathetic. I don’t have any wants Sir/s. I am not a free loader. Only I have fallen on trying times. I am wearing the same set of clothes I got stitched in 2012. They are worn out and faded now. If some amount remains from the donation you give me. I will buy a pair of clothes. I cannot apply for a loan as I don’t have a well-paying job. That why I need a donation.
I shall be extremely grateful and thankful to you, if you consider my request positively. Any amount is welcome as it will make a valuable difference to me and cover any or all of the above expenses. Depending on what I receive.
I'm new here, so if I don't say something I should, don't hesitate to ask.
So I guess here's my story
I live in semi independent care, which is a room in a shared house paid for by social services, and I'm looking at moving out to my own flat (again, provided in part by SS) soon. After a bit of a crappy end to my GCSE's and leaving home at 16, I spent a year trying to apply for apprenticeships and courses, to no avail. I tried following my fathers footsteps as an electrician, but after two weeks of being constantly late to sites and paying transport bills that trump would be proud of I decided that I would probably need a car for the job, and resigned. Shortly after, I found what i thought was my dream job - a traditional crafts technician. There was a little catch though - it's a self employed zero hours thing, and for about 3 weeks now, they haven't needed me (courses in the place aren't being booked by enough people to warrant a second techie), leading to no income from that. Which would all be fine since I'm meant to be receiving a weekly subsistence allowance of £57. Keyword - meant to. About 6 weeks ago, the card i received the subsistence on was stolen, and I reported it to the private bank that it's with (social services choice, not mine). After waiting for two weeks, and calling multiple times only to get to listen to "uptown funk" for hours whilst on hold. When i finally got through they said to call SS. I did, and after speaking to my personal adviser (switched from social worker to PA when i turned 18) for the first time, he said I haven't received the card because I've been working, which was something I told him during that conversation. It didn't add up, and since then I've received zero correspondence from him, lost all payments plus the ~£200 savings which were on the card at the time of cancellation. I have been since informed that this was done wrong, since there was no meeting to see how many hours I work (which is minimal anyways) and how much I earn.
Keep in mind, this was still when i was working, and needed money to get to work.
I did the worst thing I could, and took a £50 loan out (between reporting my card and calling my PA), thinking "that's all good, I'll get my card back and pay it off with little interest". Well, the card never got to me and I have had no work since. I've applied for 47 jobs since with no replies. I can't even afford to go see my family or girlfriend, since I live on the other side of the borough. It's gotten to the point where I'm considering selling my guitar and amp so i can get by, both of which are dear to me.
I'm now stuck with a loan (which I put into hardship, so it's fine for the moment) and no money at all (sorry, that's a lie, there's 50p in coppers under the bed).
If anyone reading could advise, or throw another copper my way, I'd be extremely thankful paypal.me/spiritsaddo
