My family is in dire need of a computer. My husband was laid off from his job and finding work has proven impossible without a working computer. I've been a stay at home mom for 7 years, and now he and I are both looking for jobs but most companies simply refer us to their websites to apply. Paper applications are so last decade.

Our savings is gone and we can't afford to keep driving across town to his parents or the library to use their computers and we have 3 kids at home, and are in desperate need of employment asap.
If you have an old working computer laying around unused and collecting dust it could make all the difference to this struggling family looking to get back on our feet.

my two children and I where abondoned by my husband and their step father. He ran our only car to the ground. Left us with no car and bills stacked sky high and I was on workmans comp. we need to move into a three bedroom and I can't afford to pay for deposits. We are also in need of either an AWD vehicle or a 4x4 truck that seats six. I can't afford to come up with a large pay off or deposit. That man almost made us homeless during the winter months.

I can't afford to come up with a large pay off or deposit.
That man almost made us homeless during the winter months. I sold everything I could just to keep the roof on our heads till I got back to work.
I am back to work but I just can't co e up with deposits and large amount of cash to buy a car.
Thank you so much for any and all help that you you provide my family.

First, I feel I should share a little background and start from where my troubles began a couple months ago..I am a single mother of 2 children, B-12 & G-11. I have been on my own since I had them and even before, as I was in the foster care system my whole life and never got to know my blood family then or since. I have worked up to 3 jobs at a time to provide for all of us. And I am currently a returning college student and will have my Bachelor's in July 2018. About 2 1/2 months ago, I Read More

First, I feel I should share a little background and start from where my troubles began a couple months ago..I am a single mother of 2 children, B-12 & G-11. I have been on my own since I had them and even before, as I was in the foster care system my whole life and never got to know my blood family then or since. I have worked up to 3 jobs at a time to provide for all of us. And I am currently a returning college student and will have my Bachelor's in July 2018. About 2 1/2 months ago, I was working 2 jobs (1-FT & 1-PT, so there is also time for everything else in life, including irreplaceable time with my children) Although I was still struggling to stay afloat financially, things were finally going smoothly. Until all of a sudden, my daughter had a series of seizures that caused her to be in the hospital for about 2 weeks. She experienced on average 2 episodes a day at first, but by the end of the 2nd week, we were finally able to return home. I returned to work as normal, but over next month I missed more days than not as my daughter's seizures flared up out of no where and all we have is each other, so I was constantly having to leave work or miss all together. Due to my ever increasing, seemingly neverending, absences and leaving early, I was replaced at both of the jobs about a month ago. At the time, I thought it would be ok. But despite my numerous handwritten and online applications and interviews so far, I still have only been able to find and start one PT job. I am still diligently searching and applying anywhere I can.
And that is what brings me here. We had our water shut off right at a month ago now. We have been using gallon jugs of water, rarely bought, mostly refilled, since then, to shower, cook, clean dishes and to flush with. I still have not received a check since my last one a little over month ago and have not been able to pay the $130 ($120 deposit, $10 remaining balance from account closure, due to length of time disconnected). Now we are also on the verge of eviction. Since the seizures started, I have continued to fall behind in rent. My landlord has been beyond understanding, but is at his limit, which I completely understand. But he said he would give me one chance to finally catch up, but I have to have a good faith payment of at least $250 soon in order for that to be the case. And on top of that, now the car company will not let me extend the $100 I owe them, as I have already pushed it back twice and now owe an additional $184. But they said as long as I can pay the $100 at least, they will work on an arrangement for the rest.
I have a couple interviews coming up as well, so I know as long as I fight, strive, push forward and most importantly give it to and trust in God, I will begin to come out of this. But I am about to drown right now. In all, what I would need to pay to stay afloat is, $130 to get the water turned on, $250 for rent and $100 to help keep my car, so I can get to work and the doctors for my daughter. I am extremely embarrassed as I am behind a great deal and I have no right to ask strangers for help like this or any at all really. But I am about to breakdown and I cannot do this on my own right now. I need help to get out of this hole and finally back on track. So I am here on my knees, humble and ashamed, pleading for any help that can be given. I would be forever grateful for any help that may be out there for us and will make it a lasting goal to always pay it forward.
But honestly, I am truly grateful just for your time in reading my story! And if nothing else, I ask for prayers for my family to have this turn around. Thank you so much again for reading about us! God Bless!

My daughter is barely 14.She was groomed and eventually raped while at her dads for weekend visit over summer. When I found out by being a hovering mom, I went to police. The trial is over. The perp will die in prison for what he did. I took my daughter to counselor for over an year. She suggested a new counselor. Every place I was told to take her, we followed. This whole incident has damaged my daughter so much...cutting, being promiscuous. She also became very violent to me and her step dad Read More

The perp will die in prison for what he did. I took my daughter to counselor for over an year. She suggested a new counselor. Every place I was told to take her, we followed. This whole incident has damaged my daughter so much...cutting, being promiscuous. She also became very violent to me and her step dad and our younger children. I had to finally say enough! I had to make her accountable for her actions, and I had her arrested for beating on me. My hopes were to get her into juvi for a while so she can see there are consequences for her actions, and she needs to redirect her anger. I know it's a long road to healing,but she needs to start on the right path. Her dad didn't want to deal with it, but after I informed him she is not welcome to my home until she receives the help she needs. I could go on and on, but I cut it short now. I need money to hire an attorney to get the things done. I know there's a loving little girl under all that hate. Dad thinks her problems are everyone else's. I need to get her in my sole custody and get her in a facility that will help her.

We have had an ongoing custody case for one of our children who is being sexually abused. If we don't continue to fight for custody, this child will live full time with the abusive parent. It's been an ongoing case for 3 years and we just don't have any money anymore. We already owe our lawyer 8000 from last year and my husband does work at their home to help pay this down. He became self employed last fall after losing his job and we took a giant pay cut, but he never stopped working once. In Read More

We have had an ongoing custody case for one of our children who is being sexually abused. If we don't continue to fight for custody, this child will live full time with the abusive parent. It's been an ongoing case for 3 years and we just don't have any money anymore. We already owe our lawyer 8000 from last year and my husband does work at their home to help pay this down. He became self employed last fall after losing his job and we took a giant pay cut, but he never stopped working once. In the last week alone we were asked to come up with another $2100 by the ad litem and given a week to do this. We are distraught. We submitted a financial statement to the judge because we are low income and supporting 6 kids with both of work for ourselves. We just don't have the money. We were given a little more time to come up with the money by the judge after seeing our financial statement but even a few weeks can't change our financial situation. I feel like we have been working so hard to just keep sucking in more water. With shool out, either my husband or I have to watch our 6 kids while the other works. No one knows how poor we are, but we have been scraping daily to get by. We are exhausted and doing the best we can, but it never seems to get us out of this hole. We just need some kindness and some help from anyone. This kid is the most amazing 6 year old with the biggest heart. He is worth a million times more than any amount of money. Unfortunately, the situation we are in is going to come down to whether we can come up with the money in time to keep fighting for him or not. It feels so limiting when you can't save your child from the horrors they are suffering. No one will listen and it's up the the judge now, but if we don't find the money, one of us could even wind up in jail for being in contempt of the ad litem' s court order. This has been the worst nightmare imaginable for all of us. Our family is on the brink of falling apart due to the stress of not making it... all because of someone's disgusting and thoughtless actions. If you are able to contribute any, there will be no words enough to thank you. Our family is the extent of our wealth in this world but it is more than we could want. Thank you.

I am trying to surprise her with all the supplies and toiletries she will need starting off. I Thank you all, who take the time to read this and I hope you'll find the grace to help. God Bless.

I became disable in 2015, everything was paid on time and I never miss a payment. I lived off of my pension for a year and a few months. Now I don't know what to do about my bills. I would have gotten a credit card to help pay some of them, but sadly, my credit is not up to par right now. My water and lights are about to be turned off. I feel so useless because I am at the point now, I just don't know where to turn. If you can see any way of helping me, I will be forever grateful. Thank you for Read More

I am a hard working 62 year old woman. I recently lost my job and have no savings. I will start drawing social security next month, but right now I am behind on everyghing. My social security is not going to be enough to live on, so I'm still going to have to have additional income. I HAVE A DREAM ....I LOVE animals, kids and the elderly. My dream is to have a traveling petting zoo that I can take to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, daycares and schools, with a trailer set up so that a wheelchair can be pushed through it, so even those who are confined can also enjoy the animals. I have the animals (which I'm having a hard time feeding right now), but there is a lot of expenses to getting tests, vaccines, health certificates, etc to get them legal to put them to work. About a year ago, I took 2 pygmy goats and 5 mini pigs to an assisted living facility, for one hour and was paid $150. I KNOW this will work and give me the added income I need to live on. I just need HELP. Help in the form of a loan is fine, I just can't borrow money from a bank right now. My credit score has dropped due to going through a divorce and being left with everything we were barely paying on two incomes. Im not asking for a hand out, just a hand up to get on my feet. I want so much to be able to fulfill this dream and spend the rest of my working years doing something I love and making a difference in the lives of others. I appreciate your consideration to help me fulfill my dream.

Hello & thank you. My name is Stacy. I am a single mother to a 5 yr. old little girl & we are in dire need of an electric cook stove & a refrigerator. Our home was broken into before we moved in & with limited options, the thieves robbed us of the only two items available. Both items are essential, yet very expensive for a single parent. So, for the past two months we have been using ice chests & cooking outside. It means the world to us to have special people like you. We Read More

My husband and I (and pet cat) are needing help getting out of Pine Bluff. We have been struggling for about a year now and we just want to have a chance to get back on our feet. 3 months ago I decided to let my daughter live with her dad in Benton until we could find a stable home and work. I have been with my daughter (who is 6) everyday since birth. She is my everything and it is killing me without her.

I have been with my daughter (who is 6) everyday since birth. She is my everything and it is killing me without her. I struggled to get through college as a single mom and earned 2 degrees and in pine bluff they are useless. My husband and I (newly weds) will be facing homelessness very soon. I do have a car and we both are willing to work! We do not have family resources or friends that are able to help us. I have tried to get on housing and have sat on the waiting list for over a year now. We do not want to take advantage of anyone and we love helping others. We just are in desperate need of someone helping us get a place to live in the Saline County area. We will be able to find work and will be able to start supporting ourselves again. We just need a little boost.

We finally made our home after many struggles at cat fish camp than less than a month later the river flooded and took everything we owned. We worked so hard for everything and it was taken away so easily. I've always believed god does everything for a reason, vit I am unable to figure out this one. Life has always been a struggle for me big finally I had a home and a man who loves me and I as truley happy. Our hard work paid off I thought.

We worked so hard for everything and it was taken away so easily. I've always believed god does everything for a reason, vit I am unable to figure out this one. Life has always been a struggle for me big finally I had a home and a man who loves me and I as truley happy. Our hard work paid off I thought. When the water washed it all away we seemed shelter at the red cross for three days before we were told they we closing the doors on two hours. We were told we would have help after by the staff and social services so we weren't worried. Less than a hour before closing the staff said we didn't quilify for their assistance. (The man we took with us who wasn't a victim of anything but his own poor life choices received cash his registration paid on his new rv and many other things. He never even saw the river that stole my home) but we didn't quilify? After many calls all over the country we for no where woh the red cross and have given up asking them for anything. So I'm asking anyone for help. We are willing to work for your assistance. But we have nothing otherwise. No cloths , no food, no income no place to sleep or anything. Life has been a challenge for us this last year, but we made our life for us and it was stolen mother nature. Please help. Anything will make a difference.

Help getting back on my feet after heart transplant. Bills have buried us. I work full time at a low pressure job and have disability benefits, but still not making a dent.

I'm a young mom of two girls that are very young. I lost custody of my baby's a little over a year ago. I should have asked for help a long time ago like this but self pride stopped me.

My family is really struggling. We were doing just fine until our last tenants absolutely trashed and abandoned the home that we were renting to them. We were left with massive damage and have been struggling to make ends meet. Usually, we are the ones to answer the call for help on twohands.org and it breaks my heart to have to be the one to ask. But, I feel like I must try. Without the income of that rent each month we have been really falling behind. We have three children. My husband is Read More

But, I feel like I must try. Without the income of that rent each month we have been really falling behind. We have three children. My husband is working about 60hrs a week and I am doing all that I can, as well, to keep us afloat. We need about two thousand dollars to catch up on our house payments. I understand that is a huge amount... I feel the weight of it constantly on my shoulders. I can assure you that we would be happy to repay it if given the opportunity.
