Leaving my abusive family I ran away and have been sleeping on the street I just turned 18 and finally was able to get away and don’t want to have to go back can’t take my step dad doing these things to me anymore and my mom do nothing since 6yrs of age
TLDR; mid 20's "healthcare hero" has exhausted all finances
Hi there! I will do my best to explain my situation well, so bear with me, please! This will probably be long. I am a mid-20's therapist who has found herself at an absolute rock bottom. When my depression and hopelessness became so severe that I knew I could no longer in good faith work in healthcare, I resigned. It took a trip to the psychiatric emergency department for me to realize that, even though we needed the money, I could no longer survive and stay employed. I have been spiraling since April - a near-miss with a stay in inpatient treatment, battling to find appropriate insurance, finding a new psychiatrist who would more appropriately treat me (and took the aforementioned insurance), and learning how to live life away from a traumatic and abusive family and community - or should I say, I should be trying to learn how to live. All of those costs, on top of having to pay all basic bills while not having any income, has exhausted literally everything. Right now, all I can do is try to survive. I have given my life and career working in the clinical mental health field, and I feel like I've been slapped in the face as I try to seek my own help. I don't feel quite worthy of assistance, as my passion is to always give and help, but what I can tell you is that every morning when I wake up, I pray I make it through the day without having an intrusive depressive thought. I pray that maybe I can make it out of bed. I pray that maybe somehow, money will land in our lap and give me one less thing to worry about. I was forced out of work in order to take care of myself back in April, and I have not had one day of rest since then. My physical and mental health are declining, and my medical bills are only growing. I don't even have the gas or uber money to get to a job interview right now even if I did have the mental capacity to do so. For heaven's sake, I am 26 being monitored for a heart condition I have caused from my own stress and anxiety, I couldn't even walk long enough to make it out to a bus stop. Trust me, I've been thinking. Way too much. I've tried every single avenue I could think of - and half of my job is helping people with mental health disorders make it work in the community. I've exhausted every resource. I have sat on this bed for almost three months and prayed - whispered, pleaded, bargained, yelled, cursed, and sobbed - that something - anything - would change so I could get back in the right depression. I have been able to use my traumatic childhood and own personal battles with mental health to shape me into a more empathetic therapist, and my heart is broken that I can't even do that right now. I'm done rambling, and I'm not even sure what I'm asking for. Sorry for the sob story! Just know that any help at all would be saving a life - my life - and I want to get back to saving others, too.

Just in case anyone reads this like I would: I am safe. I am receiving really good treatment now. It took almost a full three months after the hospital for me to secure a med check and therapy appointment, but we made it there. We just have to pretend to have hope and keep moving forward until we do.
Hello everyone,
I'm a working mother of three beautiful babies. I'm having a hard time making ends meet lately, I work full time but between rent, utilities, daycare, car payment, insurance, groceries, my daughters dance tuition, etc. we just barely scrape by. I feel guilty that I can't afford to take my kids to do anything fun this summer. I will not always be in a bad place financially, I'm trying to build us a better future. I had received my LPN diploma several years ago, then life got hectic on me for a while. Although it had been quite a while since I had been in school, I still have goals and dreams of my own I'm determined to accomplish, so I decided now is the time, onward and upward! I have been enrolled in online classes the last two semesters part time while working full time overnights. In August, I will begin taking in person classes full time. While financial aid and scholarships have helped me significantly with tuition, I still need to purchase books, uniforms, and equipment which are not covered by financial aid. I've estimated the total cost to be close to one thousand dollars. I would never expect anyone to be able to provide for all of my supplies, but every little bit would be of tremendous help. If you are able to help me make my dreams come true my paypal account info is: paypal.me/paykay08 Thank you !
Hello, so I recently found this site from my friend who suggested me to try asking for assistance online. I am a student and my mother is sick, making her unable to work. It's been a month since I bought home some groceries and now, we don't have any stocks left, only a bag of rice and some salt.
I would be grateful if somebody would notice this thread and would donate any amount on my paypal, paypal.me/weolgwang0930.
I never thought I would ask anyone about money, but now is a desperate time for me, I tried everything but cannot find any solution.
I was diagnosed with Asperger syndrom few month ago, I was on medical leave for a month because of my anxiety, I always could get back on track even after years of depresssion and anxiety, but now I am stuck and really need help.
My dad died of covid in february, he lives in Paris, I live in Lyon. While he was in intensive care, I had to stay at an hostel nearby for more than a month, , working remotely while visiting him everyday, which made me spend a lot of money for everynight staying there. I had to take a bank loan (2000€) to be able to pay for funeral costs.
I then returned back to my life but unfortunately I couldn't be strong enough to continue without breaking down, on the 28th of may I couldn't work anymore and had to ask for a medical leave from my psychiatrist.
My contract finished yesterday so I am unemployed now, yesterday I just couldn't take it anymore, it is very very scary to be in that situation and I never thought I would ever be.
I couldn't even save a cent as I come from a very modest background, and had to help my family when I had the money.
Now I have 2 month of rent late (473+473 euros), +-150€ of charges (electricity, gas, water, phone, the loan I took while in Paris), 168€ for the loan etc etc
I asked my brother to lend me some money, he told me he would give me 150€ that I have to give him back at the end of july, which will be absolutely impossible for me.
My salary will be 135€ this month because of the medical leave, with an additionnal 700€ completed by the Health Insurance.
I searched everywhere online to find a quick job, babysitting, telemarketing, inventories, even surveys, without any results. I am also trying to sell anything I can from clothes to my jewels, without any results either. That is the reason I ask for help.
I'm in a pickle!!! All in one sweep I was able to blow out one tire (side wall) and upon investigating the damage was shown how my other tire has a screw (seriously) embedded in it!! Sooo, with a slow leak out can't be repaired and it'll be completely done if the screw is removed!!! I NEED to replace 2 tires to get my vehicle off side of the road, other wise I'll be looking at a completely different amount of problems!!! PLEASE help me, I'm desperate, I obviously can't afford towing fees or a new car!!!!
Hi
I am in desperate need of £350 to pay for some very last minute and unexpected removal costs
This situation is causing me extreme levels of stress as my former landlords are hassling me over money I simply do not have to fund my removal from the property
If anyone can help me out I would be eternally grateful and you would definitely be paid back, in full
I hope someone can help me out here
Good day. My name is Ludwig. I am 36 years old and I am married to a fantastic wife and have a 4 year old daughter and a 15 year old son. Funny story, this is the second time I am typing this, because I accidentally deleted the first draft. Some background on me, I lost my Dad at the age of four. We grew up in an extremely poor household. Water and Electricity was shut off due to non-payment for months on end where we had to go to the local garage to fill 5L water containers to wash clothing in the tub, drinking water, dishwater, wash ourselves in bathroom basins etc. Food choices were bread and onions (both cheap) and I can show you ten different methods to eat bread, onions and combined. For an entire month in my matric high school year, I lived on the streets. I had to further my education and started my adulthood with debt. Shortly after, I got employed into an entry level position and grew in my career within a few years to Operations Manager. I attracted another employer who offered me employment and there I grew even quicker to the role of National Procurement Manager. My employer came under fire by our government for their racial ratio employment and left my race in the line of fire for retrenchment and/or forced exits. I personally was accused of theft for outrageous items life an entire lounge suite and a laptop. I showed them the lounge suite was transferred to a different division and called IT that confirmed the laptop is in their possession. This however left a clear message and I was lucky (unlucky) to receive a job offer from a new start-up company, which turned out to be fraudulent and left me unemployed from November 2019. I frantically applied for new employment and received two interviews in February 2020, but then Covid lockdown happened March 2020 and left me unemployed and with no income for the entire lockdown period. I have applied relentlessly for employment, but all jobs in South Africa has a racial requirement stipulated with all job adverts, leaving my race entirely excluded from any employment. As for government assistance.....it excludes my race entirely. I have subsequently found a way to generate my own income through selling products that I make, but this is only a fraction of my former income and with the months and months of living without an income has put us in a serious debt situation, including prior debt. My current debt is roughly R1 million ($75000 USD) and even when I was at the peak of my career I earned R28000 ($2000 USD). Now I am lucky if I bring in R15000 ($1100 USD). I can carry my current living expenses, but unfortunately cannot continue carrying this debt along with it. I am out of options and have sold nearly everything I own to stay afloat, but there is nothing left. I am on the verge of living on the streets with my family and I cannot have that happen. I feel worthless, useless and like a failure. I had to stick my pride in my pocket to write this and ask for help online, but I am truly out of any other options. My wife suffers from Bipolar and Depression, My son is ADHD and Dyslexia and medication is unaffordable. I can't afford to put my daughter into a pre-school and I am ashamed that my 75 year old Mom has to help me with money for groceries every month. At her age, I should be taking care of her. I am tired of telling my family to eat bread, nothing or "something cheap". I don't want to be rich or live a life of luxury, I just want to live a better life and look after my family so that they can have a better life as well. I pray for help every single day. Please help if you can! I appreciate the time you took to read this. Kind Regards Ludwig

My name is Bronwyn Williams. I live in Cape Town, South Africa. My life has been blessed with 2 beautiful children. Everything is do, I do for my children...
Ever since Covid happened, my children have both been suffering.... I was retrenched last year, when Covid started. As a mom of 2 beautiful blessings from God, it hasn't been easy at all. I was to work from home, but was never allowed to fetch my things from the office once lockdown started, leaving me in a dire situation. With no financial help, from anyone. Inever received my "TERS" money or any money at all from my employer. And being the only and sole breadwinner for my children it was as if I'm slowly suffocating, while watching my children in pain & I feel I been failing as a mom.
No money for food, necessities or anything, etc. My rent is so far behind, My landlord has threatenef to put my children and myself out on the street, unless I can get help finding a new income. I could feel myself slip into a dark and deep depression, not knowing which way to turn to or how to survive and keep my children care doing for. My children have both been through a really hard and difficult time, and I would like to give them the "normal" life that they know.... I've lost so much, my car, phone, laptop, iPad, amongst many other things, including my childrens appiness.... which is more important to me.
I have been given an opportunity to work from home, but I'm in need of a Laptop, desk and some minor items. For me to be able to reach this goal, so I can provide for my children oncemore, a Helping hand is needed.... I need any amount of donations to help me, my goal is
R6 800 (this would cover the laptop, desk, utilities, etc all of which I had but was stolen recently, when our place was broken into. Amongst my children's belongings of which was also stolen....). Any amount will be greatly appreciated as I would again be able to give my children what they need, And be able to take care of them, as they only have me and nobody else.
My daughter is to start high school next year and my son is finishing his last year on high school this year, and would love to study next year. With any help, I could help my children achieve or reach their dreams... Thanking one and all. I am prepared to repay the contributions back, in due time.
I'm just a mother, who only wants to give her children the opportunity to succeed and be the best that they can be, and in doing so, find happiness....
