My name is Ana, I am a single mother of 2 boys age 15 and age 8 living in Florida. My sorrow, worries and my desperate state is that I am unable to pay for my electricity bill, I keep paying half of my bill of around 285.00 per month to keep some $ for grocery and for gas but only paying half for last 2 months have caught up and they finally turned off my electricity until I pay the 382.00 full bill , I have been without electricity for past 3 days now I had to place all my food in colors and keep buying ice to keep them cold. This is horrible and living in Florida is so hot how can we not use the AC. At nights I can’t even keep the windows open to get any air in because I live in a neighborhood where they have broken in so you can imagine how hot it is in the night time. Any help at all will be so VERY much appreciated. Thank you and God bless you! 

I am 19 years old and I have been working very hard on my new Shopify store. I will be selling all kinds of products. Shopify is one of the best e-commerce mediums but there is a monthly fee you have to pay in order to even start selling items. I have finished building my store and adding my first few items (which is over 100 items) and I am ready to start selling, but I don't have enough money to start the subscription. I'm on a free trial and it only lets you a feel of what it's like to run a Shopify store but you can't actually sell on the free trial. I have started an instagram page and I'm promoting my store on Etsy. I need $200 to ensure that I can pay the subscription fee for Shopify and there's a also a subscription fee for the site that allows me to post items to my Shopify store, it's called Oberlo. I want this financial help to ensure that my first couple months run smoothly. My instagram page is @givepeace2chances and you'll find more information there and get a feel for my store. Or if you'd like, you could click the link in my instagram and buy a t-shirt. My PayPal.me is paypal.me/Vynnie
My company is called Give Peace 2 Chances.
This would mean a lot!

Hi,

I'm Emma and I live in the UK. 6 years ago I had a great career, I was a flight attendant manager. My dream job since I was a child. 

5 years ago I met my partner and became pregnant a short time after. We had a baby girl and when maternity leave ended I struggled to go back to work as my partner also worked shifts. So I decided to leave my career and let my partner have his. 

A year or so passed and we started to struggle for money. Getting to our last £10 to last 2 weeks. Relying on credit cards and going into a lot of debt. 

I became depressed and with my partners advice I got help and was on anti depressents for 2 years.

I eventually got a part time waitresseing job to help but it's still a struggle as we are now paying off the debt. We have just recently had a baby boy too. He is 5 months old. We don't own our first home yet and I don't think we ever will as we can't save. I get sad that we can't go on family holidays or family days out as we constantly have no money. I want to make my children happy. Have no worries.

I would like to pay the debt off do that we have that extra money instead of it paying the debts. All in all its around £20,000. 

I have never done this before. I have never asked for help like this. But I just want a better future. If there is anyone kind enough to help I would very much appreciate it. All I want is the debt paid and never go back into it again. Would like to spend time with my family other than worrying how I'm going to pay for food this week. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this x

Hello, I'm reaching out today because I really need a meal. I have no car or money available to me for a few days and I'm hurting bad for food.

I have a 7 year old rescue pug that's got a tumor on his neck. I don't have the funds needed for surgery . Any help would be appreciated. He means the world to his family. My daughter loves him so much.

About a month ago, my wife and I paid $2,000.00 for surgery for our 13-year old dog.  We have no kids.  She was our baby girl.
 
Afterward, we went on a vacation out of state, to visit my wife's family.  When we returned home, we picked up our dog from a pet hotel that neglected her.  Not only had she lost 12 pounds, but her kidneys began to fail.
 
We of course, ended up visiting the vet again to pay $800.00 to try to save our dog.  But, the vet could not do anything for her.  We had to put her down, which cost another $500.00
 
Not only that, about nine months ago, we moved here to Southern California for me to start a new job.  But, the cost of living here is causing us to have trouble making ends meet.  In fact, my wife cannot get a job.
 
This has all culminated in our having to max out our credit cards.  And, since no one would give us a loan to help catch up financially, I'm having to withdraw the majority of my retirement funds from my IRA.  This means that I will be paying penalties to the IRS, come April 15.
 
Although the next few paragraphs will be a fairly lengthy read, I urge you to read them.  They will give you background on my sad and abusive life.  The following is why this thread is entitled, "Traumas Over the Years That Continue Today":
 
My 45-year life has been hard. For one thing, when I was a senior in high school, my father became legally blind and had to go on disability. This sent "shock waves", throughout my family's financial situation.

Even after graduating from college years later, I could not find a sense of job stability or security.

I was briefly in law school, but a professor was very rude to me in front of other students. The embarrassment was so severe that I dropped out.

From then forward, I had a few temporary professional jobs. Ultimately, I had my sights set on becoming an FBI agent. But, I failed the second exam and was not allowed into the Academy.

I have had other personal and job-related issues. Many years ago, after first starting out with my wife in our marriage, I was fired by a state government and was done so right in front of my wife. Emotionally, I will never recover from that.

Often, I have had a hard time holding a job due to mistakes that I've made. In fact, even though I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional and had a career as a business software consultant, I always had a hard time understanding the product and therefore could not create a viable career.

To add to my list of failures, I failed at the CPA exam about fifteen years ago. This seriously stymied my career, as an accounting software consultant.

Needless to say, I do not have much money in my retirement fund.

So, my wife and I last fall began to start a new life here in southern California. But, the job that I moved out here for is not going well. And, I can't move on to a different job, because my employer will make me repay the $7,000.00 bonus they gave me to move out here and start this job. With all of the debt that I have and without any money, I cannot repay that.

To top it all off, my wife and I have been unable to have a child. Too, we do not have any family or friends here where we live.

All of this means that I'm always finding myself in trouble, no matter how hard I work or try at something.
 
Please help!
