Help save my business |

Hello, i wish i didn't have to make a thread here or ask for help like this, but it's reaching the point where i need to try anything i can.
Basically last year my grandmother passed away and left me a small amount of money and urged me to do something with it. I've struggled for a number of years with depression and not being employed, so i used the money to try to achieve a life long dream and open a tabletop gaming store.
What's tabletop gaming? Well it's everything that can be played with dice or cards essentially. More specifically it involves miniatures, model making and other creative activities.
I've tried my hardest to make it successful but i've struggled to get sales and to pay the bills for a little over a year now, and its reached the point where i need a few thousand pounds to keep afloat. I've literally not slept more than a couple of hours a night for the last few months worrying about the situation and wracking my brain for solutions.
Obviously i've looked into financing through the normal methods, i've asked banks for loans, applied for grants, you name it, but because my turnover isn't high enough yet, i'm constantly rejected and each time it feels like another deathknell for my dream.
I know that there are people on here in much worse positions than i am, and more than anything i wish i were in the position of offering them help, not asking for it myself.
But i have to try everything i can, if only to know that i did. So i'm making the request here. If you don't wish to donate, then could you please take a look at my store's website and if you're interested perhaps buy something? I know i'd prefer to make money that way than ask for donations.
My website is http://www.adhocgames.co.uk
Thank you for reading this far if you did.

It's myself and my two year old daughter and we are in a small room in a rooming house and I am in need of help with our rent that's due on Friday or else we will be evicted. Our rent is $100 and I have called several agencies and charities but they're out of funds and I don't want my two year old and I on the street because shelters in our area are all booked up and we don't have family members we can turn to so if someone can please help my daughter and I with the $100 needed so we don't have to be on the street come Friday, I don't want the money, it can go directly to my landlord but if someone can help, that would be the greatest gift for my daughter and I. If someone can help, please reply below or message me thanks.

We've come into some hard times and we are asking for an angel with a little help. We are usually the type to help others in need and now it's us needing the help. I can't work due to my health issues as well as my son's, hence, why I stay home with him. We are needing help with some food and electric bill before it gets disconnected. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Veteran needs help with teeth. |

My name is Adam Allred and I was in the Army between 2010 and 2014 for 3 years and six months. I left with an honorable discharge, the extras six months were at the convenience of the government, not because I was kicked out or anything crazy like that. I have a loving fiance, a kid, 2 dogs, 4 cats, and a fish that depend upon me to survive and thrive. I work, on my own due to an injury that requires me to work at my own pace (aka slowly) as a blacksmith and a construction worker. I am also a full-time college student. For those whom it may matter (such as charity and non-profits) I am a 30 year old Caucasian male from North Carolina.
My issue here is my teeth. In order for the Veteran's Affairs department to help me I would have to be considered 100% disabled and I am not. I receive free health care from the VA but cannot receive any help with my teeth. My teeth aren't really too bad looking from the front but the back teeth are all full of really bad cavities and abscesses that are causing me a tremendous amount of pain and health problems to the point of giving me issues with my heart. I bring in enough to provide a roof and food for my family, they definitely do not go without, but with no insurance or ability to get it and no government agencies willing to help me I must pay for the dental work out of pocket and I cannot even begin to afford the extra. I have tried getting loans to pay for it but my credit wont allow it due to the results of a divorce I went through while I was still in the Army. The ex ran up my credit cards. It is what it is. Regardless, it could take me a year or two to save up that much on the side right now and I am genuinely afraid that I may not have that long if I don't get these abscesses fixed soon. I will be selling a lot of my stuff to help cover the costs as well so please don't think I am just being a bum here. I don't expect that will make more than a $1000 to $1500 or so, however.
I am asking for donations to help me raise the roughly $4000 US (that I will need in addition to what I should make selling all my nice stuff) that I need to pay for the dental work to be done. Please if you can afford it, find it in yourself to help a fellow human in need out. Please. Karma works in positive ways too!
Below is a link to my paypal account where you can send your donations. Thank you so much for your help and understanding!
my email is wolfbjornson@gmail.com and I welcome questions or advice. Trolls will be ignored.
