I am in a similar situation, my best friend and I recently moved into an apartment together, this was 12 days ago, and yesterday, he lost his job. So now I have to work very hard, and really scrap whatever I can to hopefully make it. I'm so blessed to work at Chipotle, because I am fed for the most part, and I've been living below my means for a while, so I need all the help I can get as well, I too have a paypal, if there are generous souls out there that happen to read this:
Ya, me too. Lost my job a year an a half ago. Ive worked since I was 8 years old. Have a mortgage I cannot pay. Never thought this would ever happen to me because I have always worked an was always willing to do so. I am 2 years now behind on my mortgage an hired a lawyer to stop forclosure. Instead of paying for my house I have to pay the lawyer. I am an american, yet its so hard to get real help. All these other countries benifit from my tax dollors but no one wants to help our struggling people. Even movie stars give to other countries. Its so sad. Charity starts at home.
I DIDNT WANT TO START THIS MESSAGE ON THE WRONG NOTE.BUT I NEED HELP BAD. IM A AFATHER WHO NEEDS TO GO BACK TO WORK SO I CAN SUPPORT MY CHILDREN.MY WIFE IS THE ONLY ONE WORKING BECAUSE I HAD TO QUITE MY JOB TO TAKE CARE OF MY FIRST BORN DUE TO A HEART CONDITION.THANK GOD SHE IS ALL BETTER NOW AND WEVE ADDED ONE MORE TO OUR FAMILLY SENSE THEN. I HAVE FALLEN INTO A RUT IN THIS NEW LIFE AND CAN NOT DIG MYSELF OUT THIS TIME.I BECAME VERY DEPRESSED AND STARTED USING DRUGS, I KNOW, STUPID,STUPID, STUPID!!!! BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING THEY CAN TO STOP THE PAIN AND SUFFERING NOT KNOWING THAT THIS WAY OF LIFE CAUSES EVEN MORE SUFFERING, WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY, IM 4.5 YEARS CLEAN WITH THE HELP OF METHADONE, BUT THE METHADONE HAS DESTROYED MY TEETH AND I HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THEM, I APPLY FOR JOBS ON THE PHONE AND I LOVE WHAT THEY HEAR BUT WHEN I GET TO THE JOB SITE AND THEY SEE MY TEETH THEY ALL SAT THE SAME THING, WELL CALL YOU SOON, OR OH!! YOU JUST MISSED IT, WE JUST HIRED ANOTHER WORKERS SON OR NEIFEW, IF YOU COULD JUST FEEL THE SHAME I FEEL AND THE HURT IN MY SOUL MAYBE SOMEONE COULD UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP, WE HAVE NO MONEY, NOTHING..
I WAS RAISED NOT TO BEG, BUT IM BEGGING!!! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
IM SORRY FOR THIS LONG LETTER, I JUST HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN, THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME READING THIS, BE GOOD, BE SAFE...COMMING BACK TO LIFE...
Please I need help. To pay for my surgery. Broken wrist distal radial bone. I had one plate installed. 8 screws. Lost my job. Please send whatever you can spare Please.
You know I have to say,of all the posts I've seen on aid page..this one gets me the most.here we have a person asking for help with a serious attitude problem.If I were going to help someone,I think I could do without the attitude.
WOW I GUESS SHE'S DESPERATE....NOW COME ON LADY....WHY WOULD A PERFECT STRANGER GIVE YOU A HANDOUT?...FOR ALL WE KNOW YOUR STORY COULD BE SO MADE UP IT COULD MAKE FOR SOME REALL GOOD T.V....LOL.....

Yumi,
Since your friend said you could stay there until you get on your feet; then why not do so. This is your statement I have copied and posted:
_____________________ ________________
"i thought my siblings, relatives & friends will be there for me but i was wrong! they all left, now its just me & daughter. we lived at a shelter for 3 weeks then a friend of mine told me we could live at his house until i am able to be on my own."
_______________________ ______________
Now, you say you are 'looking for a job'. Why not simple stay where you are at UNTIL you (1) FIND A JOB
(2) save enough money to pay for your rent (3) save enough money to buy a used car (4) Any monies left out of your paycheck, them YOU can buy things for you and your baby.
My dear, this is how the rest of us having being doing it.
Best wishes and take care

couple of weeks ago i saw on the news about cyber begging at first i was kinda hesitant but since im desperate to start a new life so i decided to give it a shot. i dont know how to make a website and i dont have money to get a "yourname.com" site so i searched for free web hosting.
This is my first time and I sit here looking at the monitor crying and wondering, will i ever get to see the rainbow again? there are days that i feel so tired & hopeless it makes me want to give up, but i cant do it because of my daughter.. she's my everything! she's all i have!
I am a 24 year old single mom. a month ago i gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. well, before we get to that part i'll share with you all a glimpse of my life before i became a single mom.
I had it all! great family, wonderful friends and a wealthy bf. Then one day my life turned upside down --my dad left us to be with his first family. after a couple of years my mom died. i was so down and i guess u could say angry with the world, i couldnt accept my moms death then my relationship with my bf fell apart! i admit it was my fault. after my mom died i became rebellious. I had met a man who i secretly dated for a short time when I decided to dismiss the relationship because my family and bf found out about it. Shortly thereafter I discovered I was pregnant with his child, but he is nowhere to be found. my real bf told me if i abort my baby then he will forgive me, but i said "NO" --i was thinking i did a horrible mistake already by cheating on him and i regret it, i dont want to do another mistake coz in the long run i might regret it again! this time, i just want to do the right thing so my bf and i parted ways... i have to move out of his house. i thought my siblings, relatives & friends will be there for me but i was wrong! they all left, now its just me & daughter. we lived at a shelter for 3 weeks then a friend of mine told me we could live at his house until i am able to be on my own.
bottom line is that i need $8,000 to start a new life with my daughter. please help me... all i need is a dollar from 8,000 people or $2 from 4,000 people. i really need your help please...
What am i going to do with the $8,000?
*to pay for apartment security deposit (i am currently looking for a job so i have money to pay for rent)
*buy a used car.
*the rest of the money (if theres any left) i need to buy things for me & baby.
send money to (help_singlemama@yahoo.com) through PAYPAL

I am in desperate need of money. It is not a lot of money that I am asking for. Only a little of your money so that I continue to live. I can not pay my rent, utilities or for food. I have been unable to find a job. I have worked almost all of my adult life. Everything that I own is in storage and I can not pay the storage charges. My mother at the age of 96 years passed away and I was the person that paid her caregivers, food, utilities, prescription co-payments and personal products. When she died I had to sell her home because of a reverse mortgage that she had taken out. The reverse mortgage contract did not allow anyone to get any money from the sale of her home. There was interest on top of interest and lots of fees associated with the sale of her home. After paying all of her expenses before and after her death I have no money left. Please help me by putting money in my Paypal account that I have set up under this email address. jgpurr@aol.com
Setting up a paypal is free and sending money via paypal is free. It is also a savings account that will earn interest for me.
Well I have been looking for a job for 9 months now with no luck. My background is in the commercial print industry as finishing manager of printed product most 25 years experiance. But at this point ... see full post
