We are a family of 7, we have 5 children, one only be 1 week old. We are living in my fiancé moms house and there is just not enough room for us here. The kids don't have anywhere to really play, we are very cramped and need a place of our own. I am not working because I just had a baby, and my fiancé has a problem with his leg, and is having a hard time finding work where he don't stand on his legs all day. So we are asking for help to get into a place until one of us can get a job. We are willing to move anywhere in Bureau and Lasalle county. And also we are looking for help with diapers and clothing for the kids. As I have 2 kids getting ready to start school, and they barely have any clothing, nor do they have school supplies. Please email me or contact me by phone if you are able to help. Thank you and God Bless.

almost a month ago me and my 3 year old son were illegally evicted from my apartment and I lost my job because of it. I found a place and took care of everything but I cleared all the money from my checking and savings account to pay for the house/move. I need $280 by the 22nd or I won't have utilities at my new apartment and I have 10 dollars to my name. I have no idea what I can do to get it. I'm looking for a job but I won't get a paycheck in time. I even sold everything of value that I own. Read More

I'm looking for a job but I won't get a paycheck in time. I even sold everything of value that I own. I have 1 valuable left, a #8 purple Kobe Bryant jersey that is signed with his full signature and has an authentication certificate as well. Its worth over $700 and I've posted it on every website but nobody has shown serious interest or they offer ridiculously low prices that I just can't accept. I'm now desperate and will take any advice or help offered to me. I'm still trying to sell the jersey and I am willing to work for anything offered. I am a chef as well as a nanny and have a wide range of skills.

I messed up and I could possibly be in a lot of trouble. I am a 28 year old woman from Chicago, Il. 5 years ago I began dating a much older man and I fell in love with him. Over the course of these 5 years the relationship has unfolded into a nightmare. I've had to deal with constant cheating lies and emotional abuse. To get to the point, my significant other gave me money to put up and save for him. As a result of the emotional pain I was constantly enduring I began to spend some of the money. Read More

I messed up and I could possibly be in a lot of trouble. I am a 28 year old woman from Chicago, Il. 5 years ago I began dating a much older man and I fell in love with him. Over the course of these 5 years the relationship has unfolded into a nightmare. I've had to deal with constant cheating lies and emotional abuse. To get to the point, my significant other gave me money to put up and save for him. As a result of the emotional pain I was constantly enduring I began to spend some of the money. It was always my intent to replace the money but it got way out of hand to the point where I now owe him $25,000. I am working now and I am beginning to replace the money but with my $1600 a month that I make at work it will take forever to pay him back while paying bills and student loans and I am afraid he will find out before this and I dont even want to think about those consequences. I know what I did was wrong and I really want to make it right. The whole situation has caused me a lot of stress and I cant help but think that this will destroy my life. I am desperate and have nowhere to turn. My parents are unable to help and I have no support. I understand if you think Im the worst and dont deserve help but I hope that someone will be able to help me. I really want a second chance at life and to regain my freedom. I have remained in this toxic relationship due to the consequences if he finds out what I did. I want him out of my life for good. If you could help in anyway or know someone who could help I would really appreciate it. I know it is a large amount but I really am desperate. Even a loan would help tremendously and I promise I would repay it. I just want to move on from this huge huge mess.

While I am struggling to cover bills and things like groceries myself, I am not here for me. I am here seeking help for my cousin. She is on the constant verge of eviction and losing her car because she is medically unable to work. She suffers from debilitating back pain. Some days, she's not even able to get out of bed. She can only sit for a short amount of time. She has filed for disability, but she was denied. She has filed an appeal, but she has been told it can take months and months. She Read More

While I am struggling to cover bills and things like groceries myself, I am not here for me. I am here seeking help for my cousin. She is on the constant verge of eviction and losing her car because she is medically unable to work. She suffers from debilitating back pain. Some days, she's not even able to get out of bed. She can only sit for a short amount of time. She has filed for disability, but she was denied. She has filed an appeal, but she has been told it can take months and months. She has basically sold everything she has been able to in her home. Her internet has been turned off, so even trying to find work at home jobs is impossible. She is constantly doing anything she can to just come up with money to keep from being evicted and losing her car. Her ex-husband (who has custody of their youngest daughter ... the oldest is now in college) has taken her to court because she can't pay child support. He has been malicious and horrible to her. He has no empathy for the fact that she is literally unable to make money. He doesn't care. He only cares about the fact that he's not getting money. He has a very good paying job. He goes on vacations all the time, and he goes gambling all the time. Even with this, he is still dragging her into court because she can't give him money. This is all taking an enormous toll on her physically and mentally. She is horribly depressed and, at times, suicidal.

She is one of my best friends. I love her like a sister. I am heartbroken that I can't help her myself. My husband and I are currently not even able to pay our own bills. I constantly struggle just to buy groceries. If I had any way to help her at all, I absolutely would. That is why I am posting here. I can't help her, but I am hoping to find ways to help her. She is such a good person, and she does not deserve what she is going through. She's not trying to get money for food and spending on things that are fun. She is just trying to survive. She's trying to keep a roof over her head. She's trying to keep her car.

She just needs some help. Hopefully her disability is approved and it doesn't take months. However, I fear she is going to literally give up before this happens.

Myself and my fiance ending up loosing everything we owned unfortunately. My fiance is now retired from the military he's in his 30's still and would still be fighting today had his last deployment not ended in an ied. After he was released from Walter reed a year later we decided to get out and get our own place well to do so we thought a room mate would be nice well we was wrong one day we came home from visiting family, and everything we had was gone along with our roommate and there belongings. There was nothing we could do except to start fresh and move on. So we are trying to do so but it's very hard when you don't know where to start or can't afford to do so. We would just be so greatful if we could get help with clothing/shoes things to get us by until we can get on our feet again. We're so lucky and blessed to have found a place to go to for help.

I lost my job a few months back and rushed to find child care for the summer so I could get a new job but, was unable to find anyone I felt comfortable leaving my children with and decided to postpone my job search and stay home with the children for Summer. I did not anticipate barely scraping by. Due to utilities running double what they normally do and car troubles and it seems as though just about every bad thing that can happen, has. I can cover my bills okay and keep food in the house Read More

I lost my job a few months back and rushed to find child care for the summer so I could get a new job but, was unable to find anyone I felt comfortable leaving my children with and decided to postpone my job search and stay home with the children for Summer. I did not anticipate barely scraping by. Due to utilities running double what they normally do and car troubles and it seems as though just about every bad thing that can happen, has. I can cover my bills okay and keep food in the house but, there isn't any extra money at all for fun or school supplies/clothes and shoes. . My children go back in early August and they are fine with not getting mega passes this year or going to Knights' or camping or anything that we would normally do during the summer. However, I would feel like an absolute failure as a Mother if I cannot make sure they have clothes and supplies for the new school year. I just keep falling on hard times and while my bills are covered , I just don't have any extra. Even if someone could just help and I could return the favor as soon as I'm back on my feet again. As soon as the kids are settled back into their school routine I will definitely be returning to work and doing everything in my power to make things better. I just need a little assistance until then. If you are able to help thank you so much and God Bless You. If not, still God Bless You and thank you for taking the time to read this.

My name is Dana, I was born in Chicago but currently I'm living and studying in Palestine(West Bank). My dream ever since I was young was to become a Doctor. Entering college wasn't easy for me since most of my family don't support my idea of education for females. However, I managed to get accepted into a university in Palestine and now I'm a third year Biology student.

My name is Dana, I was born in Chicago but currently I'm living and studying in Palestine(West Bank). My dream ever since I was young was to become a Doctor. Entering college wasn't easy for me since most of my family don't support my idea of education for females. However, I managed to get accepted into a university in Palestine and now I'm a third year Biology student. I recently got a scholarship for a lovely student exchange program (for a month) in Germany. Since the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is not given in Palestine, I've decided to seize the opportunity and do my MCAT in Germany during my stay in August. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to pay for the exam and my family members won't aid me since they believe girls can't be doctors. I work, however the money I make isn't much and goes straight to paying for my tuition and supporting my family. It would mean the world if anyone could help me and give me the support I'm missing here in Palestine, to follow my dreams and become the surgeon I deserve to be. I wish to set an example to all the females here that there is a chance we can succeed and follow what our heart desires.

I hit a animal on the highway this morning & it went under the carriage and severely damaged my radiator & my insurance company said that I'm not covered.

I have no other means of transportation & because I just paid my rent, I have nothing to put on the repair. I need my car i order to work, so I am in quite the bind.

I have sown financially and otherwise into others & now I need someone to sow into mine. I'm being told the repair will be between $350-$500

I appreciate any help that can be given & I thank you for your consideration.

Hello, I am requesting help for major repairs to my home for myself and 5 children. We are on the brink of homelessness and separation because of the conditions of our home. I am having trouble with finding and keeping gainful employment due to my criminal background and I just​ want to take care of my family while building a better future for us all. The issues with my home started with a Raccoon infestation in my roof and attic,to my entire home being damaged from the elements and pests. Over the winter, my pipes froze and busted, so now I have the issue of not being able to care for our personal hygiene properly. I have had numerous indications with DCFS, and they refuse to help my family with the things that we need to lift the major burdens on our shoulders.They would much rather harass myself and family and place false allegations on my name. I am blessed to have amazing children that are trying to stay positive, even though they are continuously humiliated and shunned by society for struggles that are far beyond our control. They deserve to be able to enjoy their childhoods without anymore psychological trauma.Thank you kindly for taking out the time to hear our story, and for considering us for desperately needed assistance. God bless you and your loved ones yesterday, today and forever ❤

I am a single mother of 5 and in serious need of help. My water and power will be off soon due to non payment of $563.48(even $281.74 {half} Will stop them from being cut off). Also I have a car that need repairs quoted at $500( front passenger spindle and caliber and new brakes) and a new rim and tire quoted at an additional $115. My car is not currently able to be driven and I need it to get groceries for my children( we don't have a stove or fridge so we need groceries daily and use our link very fast) and get to very important doctors appointments . I was a manager at Walgreens for 5 years ( also worked through cancer treatment until I became too sick) until I was diagnosed almost a year ago with stage 3 cancer and was unable to work due to treatment and being hospitalized and multiple ongoing surgeries. I applied for sis but was denied also for Cash assistance, but they said I will need to work for it and my health doesn't allow me.
Please if someone could say a prayer for us as well. All helps.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Needs are:
Prayers
Electric stove
Fridge
Car repairs
Power/water payments

Unused VAN?? I'm a man in my mid 50's living off a disability check. I am looking for help finding a VAN. Since its more cost effective, I intend to turn a van into a living space. Prefer it ran of course, but age is no barrier. The older, the roomier actually. There are a chain of RV parks laid out around the country whereby leasing a spot long term, would be less expensive then renting. They would Also provide the needed recreational, restorative, and human contact options I do not get living Read More

There are a chain of RV parks laid out around the country whereby leasing a spot long term, would be less expensive then renting. They would Also provide the needed recreational, restorative, and human contact options I do not get living here alone. Yes, it may be a cramped life? But it is living. And home is where you lay your head. Right? # of seats is unimportant. Empty is best. Rear fold down bench seat even better. Racks or shelving inside would defeat the purpose. The more space, the better. If you have and would part with that van of yours I would be extremely thankful. Its a lease on a new life. I won't forget you. Can you, will you, help a guy out? Thanks for listening, jim

Hello to all. I am a disabled Army veteran who is in need of some assistance with paying for my medication. I have been diagnosed with pre-leukemia as well as liver and kidney failure. The cost to keep me going is more than I can handle. I have put all of my things in the pawn shop to get money for medicine before and I can't do that again because I couldn't get my things out. I have relied on family for help but this time they couldn't so I found this site and figured I would give it a try. I Read More

I do have a PayPal account so whoever decides to help can use that to get the money to me. I can't express the amount of gratitude in advance to whomever helps. Thank you for reading my post and if there are any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. My name is Charles by the way. God bless!

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read this. I am desperately asking for help with paying my daughters daycare tuition. I have been unable to pay for the past two weeks and I fear that they will kick her out of the daycare program. This is the only daycare in our area that had a spot available for her.

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read this. I am desperately asking for help with paying my daughters daycare tuition. I have been unable to pay for the past two weeks and I fear that they will kick her out of the daycare program. This is the only daycare in our area that had a spot available for her. If I am unable to pay she will have to be taken out of the daycare program and have to live with my mother during the week when I work because i don't not have any one to help me in the city I live in. I am a full time working mom, who works in local government . I can provide my pay stubs via email to show that I am working full time. I am also a single mother to an 11 month old little girl. She lights up my world and shows me the beauty in life. I love her with all my heart and would be devastated if I had to send her to live with my mom during the week because I could not afford the daycare. I do work full time and try my hardest to provide for my daughter. It is just hard to support two people on $17 an hour. I applied for daycare assistance through the YWMCA, but was denied. I get no help from he father, who is not in her life at all. My closet family live 2 hours from us. I am trying my hardest to provide for my daughter and have been doing everything by myself. I have sold a lot of my stuff to be able to provide for her, but I am running out of things to sell. I beg that someone can please help us stay together by helping pay the daycare. I can provide the link and sign in info to the daycare portal to pay online. I know angels do exist, and I hope my daughter and I are blessed enough to have one help us. Please help keep baby with mommy. She needs me and I need her. Thank you, so much for reading this. God bless you.

I moved to Peoria, IL almost 2 years ago to escape the drug scene of my home town and state, Bangor, Maine. Since moving to Illinois I have been at the Peoria Treatment Center for 2 years and have kept drugs out of my life completely. I work a full time job but have started falling behind in rent and utilitys, and recently received an eviction notice from my apartment complex. The treatment center has saved my life but has become so expensive that its put my bills at risk, but I know if I didn't go, I would quickly fall into old habits. I am afraid of losing everything, again. I have come so far. I have lost many friends and family to drug abuse and don't want to have it happen again. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. I know there are many people who have struggled like I have. I need to keep on the right path. thank you for your time!
