My wife and I are both support workers in social care sector, we support young men and woman with learning disabilities and complex mental health issues.
We enjoyed our work and have for many years, that was until my wife was diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer.
After a gruelling 6 years, post surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy, my wife, I am pleased to announce is now in remission and her survival prospects are bright.
2 years ago, 2016 I was told I may have bladder cancer, I had blood in my water, and lost 8 stone very rapidly,
My wife has now retired, I some years younger than her continued working until my diagnosis, and my doctors insistence that I discontinue working.
So,
2018 after not working for 2 years, I found I do not have bladder cancer but my problems are prostate related.
I also learned that I have an incurable form of porphyria,a blood disorder that took my mothers life and other family members.
I have been tested for this all my life and told I don't have it and as it is hereditary tests show I pose no risk of passing the gene.
During my illness I have had many many tests, from head to toe, still looking for the cause of my illness, new porphyria tests became known and I qualified so was retested and bam!
I have had it all my life and it lay dormant until I became unwell with what we now know is prostate problems.
Rated its head and began destroying my kidneys liver spleen and other organs, I have had treatment for this and my organs but still wait further surgery for my prostate as it is rapidly getting worse.
In the 2 years since I have worked my debts have pulled up and I have completely used all savings, and monies available to me, I did start a gofundme page but closed it down after family displayed jealousy.
The funds we did raise prevented us from being evicted.
My wife is in a state pension and I am in receipt of sickness benefits, with the debt arrangements we have with our creditors we have nothing left for ourselves, I have to save to meet my hospital appointments as parking fines for late appointments have also piled high, I don't qualify for hospital transport assistance and my only life line is to call an ambulance,wich I am not going to do.
My treatment has been delayed and started and stopped delaying my recovery each time,I have at times not been able to afford to get myself to hospital.
The affect our financial situation has had on our relationship is devastating, we never thought for a second that ill health would cut us down as it has, we have no insurance of any kind.
This situation has broken my spirit,I am at a loss and ask from the bottom of my heart, please anyone who can help us financially, we are beyond desperate, in the time this has all been going on, my daughter has given us a grand daughter, we live in England and my daughter lives in our native Australia, I could not afford a postage stamp for a letter let alone anything else,
This is soul destroying.
I am one that would rather give than receive,I am searching my soul for reasons to continue, my financial situation is completely desperate, I owe less than £7000.00
But have no way to pay more than a few pounds per week.
I am facing insolvency soon and at 55 years old have no chance of ever recovering from the debts that continue to pile up.
Your kindness and generosity would be greatly received,I worry more for my wife than for myself,
My PayPal is as follows.
PayPal.me/aussie63
Should you be kind enough to help my begging for assistance, please accept our thanks in advance, knowing that you really have helped and made a huge difference in the lives of two fellow humans,
Thank you, for at least reading my plight,
Phillip Vidler

I'm not one to normally "beg" but I find myself in a position that will only get worse if i dont seek assistance. I've recently became unable to work due to medical conditions ( spinal stenosis with complete loss of l5 disc,fibromyalgia, and neuropathy. I'm also a single mother with 3 children who still live at home. I'm filing for disability but it takes time to get a decision. Until I can get back on my feet I'm looking for any help I can get to pay my rent, get shoes and clothes for my children, and pay electric bill. I'll appreciate any donations. Thank you in advance. Donations can be sent via PayPal https://paypal.me/mzladyb79

Rescue Cat Needs New Kidney |

Back in June, I took in a cat from a family moving away that could not take her with them. Enter Miss Duchess. Originally my plan was to keep her out of the shelter and find her a forever home, but when I went to pick her up I found an extremely underweight, sick cat who could not be adopted out. Her previous owners either did not know or did not care that she needed veterinary care.
While trying to save the money needed for her blood tests to find out what was wrong, Duchess stopped eating and drinking and became lethargic. We brought her to our family vet and they diagnosed her with chronic renal failure and recommended we put her to sleep.
I wanted to give Duchess a chance to decide whether or not she wanted to keep living, and so she was hospitalized in intensive care with IV fluids and made a pretty surprising comeback, but without a new kidney, her days are numbered. She proved she is a fighter and that she wants to keep living.
To save her life I have spent everything I have in savings, borrowed from family, spent bill money and sold everything of any value I have. Her last hospital visit caused by her kidney failure cost me thousands of dollars.
There are three facilities that offer renal transplant surgery in the entire country, and it is expensive. The new kidney will come from a donor cat who must also be adopted by us after the operation, which is a nice gesture as the donors are often shelter rescues. So, in reality, two lives are saved. Since the facilities that offer the surgery are teaching schools, Duchess having this surgery would provide valuable experience and information to the students and veterinarians of the future in addition to saving her life.
Most people will say “it’s just a cat…”, but Duchess is family to us. She has had a hard life, and we want to give her as many more good years as we can of a good quality of life. With transplant surgery, she can potentially live many more years.
Any little bit helps. I don’t expect to meet my goal of $8,000 but I could never forgive myself if I didn’t try every possible avenue to get her the surgery she needs to continue living.
In the unfortunate event that she does not make it prior to her surgery, I would use any donations received towards research on renal disease in both cats and dogs.

I wrongfully lost my job of 18 years more than six months ago. The board of unemployment bought the lies of my former employer, so I was denied unemployment. After a many months long process of appeals, I have spent all my savings, sold my jewelry, and have no money left. What is worse is that I don’t drive, and have never had a license or car. I’m in a small town without reliable public transportation, and the only place listing for jobs near me is the place that fired me. My debt is maxed out. My credit rating is bad. And I spent the last twenty years doing basic labor. I don’t have a degree or experience. I’m not looking for advice. I just need some money to get by while I try to get a drivers license and car, and try to figure out how to get back on my feet.
I only check my email a few times a year, and I literally have no money, so scammers won’t get anywhere here.

Thank you for reading and for any help.

. I am a 25-year-old woman who currently resides in Aurora, Colorado just east of Denver. I am reaching in hope that someone sees my story as more than just another person begging for something versus someone who is asking for you to help start a path for greatness because I can and will be great but with your help I can be greater. Let me start by telling you why I’m reaching out and then I will tell you a little about me. I recently had a falling out with my mother after leaving my mother’s assisted living and finding a job that fit into my future plans. I had been staying with my mother contributing to the household bills and not having any extra money to save for myself so when she asked me to move out I was already in a bad situation. My mother had told me when I explained to her I wanted to start working somewhere that will be better for my future career path that I could stay with her until I had saved up enough to move into my own place but I realized after I got my new job that was no longer the case. My mother no longer wanted me to stay with her. She began telling me to look for a place and find somewhere to go immediately. After searching for an apartment, I could afford I found a very cheap and seemingly nice place with a cousin of mine. The rent is $1300 plus the cost of utilities, laundry fees, trash fees and renter’s insurance. With a roommate I knew it would be manageable on my $13 an hour pays. Not easy but manageable. I decided to go ahead and move in with my cousin because we had been close since we were babies. When I got approved for the apartments I told my mom when I would be moving out and she told me that when I left not to come back again because I had disappointed her and she didn’t want kids to begin with. I was taken back not knowing why she felt this way. After trying to understand my mother finally stated that we never gave her space and now it was time for her to live life on her own. It was very understandable but very upsetting at the same time so when I pleaded for her to be a mother and not rid me out of her life like I was a nobody she showed me I didn’t mean anything by allowing her boyfriend to put his hands on me the day before moving. After that day I knew she no longer cared to have me in her life so with that I left. After a month of living with only minor hiccups in the new apartment and making plans for the future with my cousin, rent for the next month was due. When I asked for my cousin’s half to pay the rent she stated that she wasn’t paying it because she was going to move in with a boyfriend of hers because rent would be cheaper. After a disagreement she left and I had to scramble and find a way to pay rent. I searched high and low for help but could not find any until someone told me to search online for help in my specific county so after walking dogs and getting help from a catholic charity I was able to cover rent for that month but slowly the next month had been creeping up. I started walking dogs and trying to come up with every solution to finding a way to get things where they are supposed to be. I worked all month applying for jobs and getting turned down because my regular work hours get in the way or they don’t want someone who is working doubles because they want someone who is well rested and all for their company. After no such luck I continued to walk dogs and after an ad I posted on craigslist was answered by a gentleman I quickly took it. I went to this man’s house and my whole life is changed because he took a piece of my innocence. I’ve been slaving away trying to do the right thing to earn the money to save my place and even after plenty of interviews found a reliable roommate who will be capable of covering the second half of bills and I get raped. I was held down and told that If I moved I would be dead. With everything going on in my life I wanted to move but couldn’t. I was frozen. I went through what it seemed like an hour of laying there smelling him and feeling him breathe on my neck. The only thing on my mind is death and how nice it would be to not be in my own body. After he finished he grabbed me and forced me into a scalding hot shower telling me the only way I could leave was to shower. I stood in the shower as he washed my body off and forced me to get dressed he brushed my hair back and said “thank you honey, you were amazing” and he said he would kill me if I said anything and that he’d be gone before the police returned. I was terrified. I AM terrified. This man took something from me and I am trying to heal. I’ve been to the hospital to have test run and have found that I was given a STI that will have to be treated. I just wanted to pay my rent and move forward and I’m moving forward with trauma for trying to better myself. I feel like I’m missing so much of what I’m trying to even say due to having scatterbrain but I need help. I’m not asking for just any kind of handout though. I am young but I was raised to have work ethic. I have had a stable job (at times jobs) since I was 16 years old and even before then I was a babysitter and weed picker for the neighborhood I grew up in. I need help but I want to pay it back somehow some way. Sort of like a cash advance. I will pay it back with a payment arrangement or work it off but I am trying to come up with the late fees and eviction fees plus the other portion of my rent which totals $1900 which I need to collect before September 5th at 6pm. I realize how much I am asking for but I have no where to turn. I’ve asked everyone I know for help. I’ve handed out flyers to people to see if I can get help with side job. I’ve put myself in some bad situations to raise this money and I have still manage to come up short. I understand everyone goes through bad situations so I can’t expect much but please consider helping me get back on my feel so I don’t have to be homeless. I have been homeless at 19 to 21 and it’s dangerous on the streets. I suffered abuse multiple times even just this recent time but staying in homeless shelters and on the streets without a car is probably as dangerous as it gets. Unfortunately, there aren’t many benefits out there for young adults with no kids or serious disabilities. I know I sound like a pathetic crybaby and if I had ANYWHERE else to turn I would not be writing you this pathetic sob story but it’s all I have at this point. You are my only hope. I wish I would have thought of this earlier as I know I am asking for assistance in such a short time but please consider helping me with something. I need help and have no family and only 1 struggling friend who isn’t capable of helping financially. I am begging for your help and will provide any proof to what I have stated to you because I know I laid a lot down but I am just an honest and good-hearted young woman in desperate need. Please help with whatever you can if you can. Thank you. my paypal is http://paypal.me/tayvea and my cash app is http://cash.me/tayv412 please help with whatever you can please
