Hello everyone
I've been going through a tough time lately. I've been off work sick and have fallen behind on my bills. I am going back to work at the end of the month but I have exhausted all my money. My bank balance is zero. I'm a single parent so it's not only myself that needs the help.
To add to my difficulties, I've had an issue with bank fraud which at the very least is going to take a couple of months to sort out. Due to this happening I've missed out on paying my rent and I've no money for food or electricity. I have already asked my family for help and they have done what they can but they are not too well off themselves.
Once I get back on my feet again I am willing to pay it forward and help someone else. I just have nowhere else to turn to at the moment. I'm on low income and couldn't have afford to lose even a pound of it, let alone the whole thing. If any one could help me, no matter how small a donation I will be entirely grateful for the kindness shown to me.
Thank you for reading this.

Helping parents after dad lost job |

Hello,
My name is Amanda and I’m 23. I live with my parents and I have a full time job. I’m also studying for my GED at the moment and I have been trying to save enough money to afford a car and to move out into a place of my own (which seems impossible these days). The day after Christmas 2018 my step dad had lost his job. My mom only works part time (2 or 3 days a week due to some medical issues) and hardly brings home enough money every 2 weeks to get food on the table with the minimum wage of $7.25. Living off of spaghetti and sandwiches, and on occasions when meat is on sale for $5 (hardly but sometimes)my dad has been applying for jobs and not a single person has called back. so for the last 6 months and counting,I’ve decided to help my parents out as much as I can. My savings is almost gone, I’ve had to pay over 3 grand for all their bills every month and rent. We have canceled our cable and home phone and trying to crack down on every “extra” expense we can. I’ve been trying to sell some of my things on eBay just to make ends meet. Barely making it with the internet bill and all the others. They’re all late by one month if not 2 due to having to pay for rent first. My dad even tried to do some work for our landlord for a little bit, but it was too much for him to handle and finished the job and told him he can’t anymore. This isn’t even the first time my step dad has lost his job. Happened a few years ago as well and for almost 8 months I was paying all the bills and rent again. So to have all my savings I worked hard for just to have it ripped out from me again. I know it’s not my problem..but it’s my parents. I do live here too, so In a way it is my problem. I get so upset just at the thought of having to start all over again with my savings. I’m trying to stay positive but I feel I’m never going to get out of my parents apartment . Please anything you can contribute will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much you kind strangers

Hi everyone, I'm an Italian engineering student at university.
For years my father is the only one who pays the tuition and keeps me alive, 3 years ago my brother joined me to study in the same city and next year my sister will come.
Money is scarce and I'm a little ashamed but I ask for your help.
I need about 2000 Euros: I need the money to pay, along with other money I have on hand, the last university tuition of my last year and thus be able to complete my studies in peace, find a job and help my family on my own.
Please, if you can, give a hand to a boy who need to became a man.

Hello. My son, his wife and 1 year old on live in Phoenix and it is very hot there. Their vehicle is broken down and they are having to take baby with them on the bus. the bus is not so bad, but the walking to the bus stop and waiting in the heat is not good at all. Temperatures are soon to hit 110 plus for the rest of the summer into the fall.
They have bills as does everyone else, and barely make ends meet. they do not have funds set aside for car repair. I have helped but still a long way to go to meet the repair cost.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

So this is just a longshot, bit of a swing in the dark.
My name is Mark, I'm 28 and I'm from West Yorkshire in the UK
To be quite honest I'm quite embarrassed to be creating this request for help thread. Writing this doesn't come easy.
I've been independent and have worked hard for everything I have in life, have never fell on fortune or luck, nor have ever asked anyone for help. So to create this post feels almost like I'm forfeiting if that makes sense.
I'm a very driven individual, I believe and live by the code that I should work hard for what I want, for 12 years I have been in employment. I've worked my way into a challenging role I can honestly say I'm quite proud of what I've achieved.
I'm the happy fella. Positive, always up for a laugh, empathetic, greet everyone with a smile, make everyone smile, even if it's at my own expense - Would hope to think I'm liked by most people.
The happy jokey fella is actually just quite a good actor lately... I've been struggling financially for a while to balance my income/outgoings. Every month I can feel myself getting closer to that 'line', the tipping point where I just cant wing it anymore.
I'm great at budgeting, know how much I need to pay out and I prioritise bills orderly. I consider putting £30 in my fuel tank an absolute treat once a month on payday.
I work on average 50-55 hours a week and spend between 7-8 hours commuting to work and back each week. I'm contracted to 45 however constantly having to do overtime just to try keep my income up. I've quite literally become reliant on the overtime money that comes from working myself into the ground.
The issue is that I can work endless hours, im perfectly capable and willing. But my home life is also crumbling because I'm hardly at home.. and when I am at home, I'm not if that makes sense...
I have been with my girlfriend for over 5 years now and we have the best 4 year old son ever. That's not even proud parent speak. He's just a blessing.
I'd love to be able to stop panicking over bills one day and actually be able to save up enough not just to put £30 in my fuel tank, but also a ring on her finger. She honestly deserves it.
I'm quite literally living to work, and working to exist. Which I know.. that's life, but I'm just asking for some help.
I live to my means but my means aren't much. I just need to break the cycle, breathe a little, tilt back onto the 'ok' side rather than live in fear. Yes the living in fear bit sounds exaugurated but it's not... I'm an over thinker unfortunately :/
I'm not sure what I'm expecting from this. I hope for the best and expect the worst usually. So worst case scenario I've at least had some keyboard practice and possibly someone will read this in a similar scenario and not feel so alone? … if not then it's just me, doing something wrong haha.
But on the off chance you're that millionaire who's out there. You could possibly donate to this 'begger' here - paypal.me/pmarkw

Hi I have never used anything like this before.
I have found myself in a difficult situation after separating from my partner and being on long term sick from work. I have 3 children to support and after months of staying house to house I have got my own. I am at my wits end as I have no money to even try and get organised. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
