My birthday is in mid July. I was an Uber driver barely making ends meet. Then on my birthday in the middle of the day, I had just finished a 5:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. shift, I was on my way to put gas in my car and then to start celebrating my birthday by going to see a movie.

When I came to, my car was totaled, by airbags had deployed, and I had a big bump on my forehead. I have no idea what happened. To this day, no one has been able to give me a reasonable or rational explanation as to how I found myself in that situation.

   

So now I find myself jobless and without a car. I do odd jobs here and there for people and I am constantly filling out applications for work, but, it seems, to no avail. I have not been able to procure any sort of decent employment (which is why I was an Uber driver in the first place).

I have arthritis in my left knee and it is difficult for me to walk for long periods of time, but if I need to get somewhere nowadays, even if I take the bus, I have to walk quite a ways to get to the bus stop. It is very taxing on my body and I'm feeling like life is really beating me up.

I'm a positive person...I'm trying to look on the bright side of things, but I am in the worst place that I have ever been in my life right now and I fear it might be taking it's toll.


~ I am behind on my rent - my landlord is trying to be understanding, in fact, he is being more understanding than I am about the rent, but I can't put him off forever.

~ I would like to have a car again, but even if I did right now, I wouldn't be able to afford the insurance or gas or, etc. So I am looking to get a scooter or moped - I know they take insurance and gas, too, but not like a car. And they are about a 20th of the price of a car.

~ I am about $10,000 in debt now with a credit card and other situations (this computer, personal loans, payday loans, etc.)...and getting deeper.

~ I have had to rely on the kindness of strangers...and I am hoping that if you are reading this, that that might be you.



No matter what happens, I will strive to continue to be positive and grateful for the things I DO have!!


Thank you for taking the time to read my story.


Amazingly,

My name is Elizabeth and I am in my final year of undergrad. I am trying to get my masters and then PhD, but my student debt and lack of financial stability is making that dream impossible. I would like to at least erase the debt I’ve accumulated the past four years before worrying about how to pay for further education. My family is still in bankruptcy and cannot worry about me as much anymore. I do have a job, but I do not make enough to support myself, go to school, and pay off my debt. Therefore I am looking into the generosity of others.

Hello,
I am a single mom of 3 beautiful kids, ages 10, 7, and 3. I decided after a job loss to go back to school and try to better myself to ultimately do better for my kids. Unfortunately there is a gap in my funding and I decided to go back to work. I start my new job on Wed but won't get paid until Dec 22nd. I need help with my rent just for this month. My rent is $1350. 
I hate having to ask for help but here I am. 
My cash tag is $Jadesmom07
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes I know that’s a lot. Yes I know they’re bald and yes I’m terrified every time it rains or snows. And yes I am very aware it’s December. But tires are expensive...mine are going to be about 800 to 1,000 and I can’t afford it. I’m a single mom - I finally found full time work - not my dream job (writing) but it pays some of the bills. If I had a credit card  I would use it. But I only have two cards. One is a carecredit card I used to save my cat. Literally he would have died and my son would have been devastated. He is my son’s only friend and my son and I have been through a lot this year. (Found out my boyfriend of five years has been cheating on me with prostitutes - I thought he was the one etc - brought him into our lives. He turned out to be awful and he constantly picks on my autistic son.) I’m trying to move out but right now I need tires before the snow hits. My other credit card is over its 300.00 limit because I needed gas, groceries, and to pay the utilities. 


I don’t have money for Christmas or groceries or several other bills. I should probably be asking for grocery money before tire money but if it gets really bad I can go to a food shelf. 

No such thing as a tire shelf 

I figure 1000 will cover the tires - I’ll get the cheapest ones I can and anything left over will go towards an oil change and either school lunches or groceries. I have nobody to ask - my mom already loaned me 1500 for overdue rent. I just cannot get ahead...

Thank you for reading my situation and even a dollar would be appreciated.

I am a mother of three children who is recently separated and over the past four months. I am having a extremely difficult time financially. You can help me through pay pal at PayPal.me/cbess111 thank you in advance.

Thank you for taking the time to choose our listing. My 3 year old son and I have had a rough year and are doing all we can to get through to 2018 with a smile on our faces. 

We left an abusive relationship this summer and had to start from scratch - although it was completely worth it! We had nothing, not even a home for a couple of months. But things are starting to look up for us. It's still just a constant struggle since it is just the two of us and I have a very limited income. 

Right now it is the first of the month and I am short on the rent payment for our new apartment that I was finally able to get us. I am scared to death we will be back on the streets. This is my first priority. I am not far off, only about $200 so hopefully by Monday an angel has blessed us from somewhere or something.. IDK. I have never really had much luck with things like that. Our other issue is paying for his daycare as my child LOVES to learn. I haven't had it in my heart to take him out even though it is $100-120 a week for "school." The daycare assistance program in my county has been on a freeze for a year.. so one day, hopefully that gets to us also. 

These things are what has to be paid. To keep us going even after the 25th.. but I dread that day when I only have a couple of small Dollar Tree items for him. 

It's always 1 step forward and 3 steps back it seems like you know. Please, if you are out there Santa.. we need you!

I never wanted to ask for help, but after struggling for over a year, I don't know what else to do. I am a,single,mother of a 10 yr old boy. This has been a bad yr. I work a full time job and a part time job as well, just to make ends meet and that isn't enough anymore. This year, I had noticed that I was getting very tired and out of breathe alot. I do have insurance but I ignore alot of stuff because it is not the best. One day I realized that just from,dusting I could barely breathe and I checked my pulse and it was about 155. So I went to the hospital . long story short and many Dr visits later, and a misdiagnosis , I found out that I have a left bundle brand block caused by a benign nerve in my heart that makes it beat super fast at random moments. I am,currently on meds that have been controlling it and someday I may need surgery to fix it, but hopefully not! And I am,only 39! But now, I have about 4 grand in medical bills, that of which I cannot pay. And I'm still trying to pay my regular bills and putting food on,the table, and sometimes I find I have to use a credit card to do so. Its getting,very bad. I almost need to look for a third job. I don't,know what to do. The bright side is, I'm,finally,feeling better physically for my son at least! But I need some help. My hours were even cut at work for about a month but thankfully it is slowly getting better. But I need to see more of a light at the end of the tunnel!!

Hello! I am in desperate need of your help because the country where I live, Venezuela, is facing some really horrible economic struggles. The wage that I earn as a professional worker in the computer science field is no where near enough to pay all the bills. I earn about $5 every month. And everything costs way much more than that. Please I am in such desperation that I would be so grateful for your donations. Ever so grateful
