Hello, my family and I are looking for help with some carpentry. I posted a few days earlier and then I started navigating around the site. I decided that maybe offering a trade on help might work out better. I can't offer help on bills since we live on a fixed income. But I can offer physical labor, I have automotive experience, I can offer rides. We have experience with gardening and have tools to tackle most any job landscaping. I need help with installation of a subfloor in a trailer and Read More

Hello, my family and I are looking for help with some carpentry. I posted a few days earlier and then I started navigating around the site. I decided that maybe offering a trade on help might work out better. I can't offer help on bills since we live on a fixed income. But I can offer physical labor, I have automotive experience, I can offer rides. We have experience with gardening and have tools to tackle most any job landscaping. I need help with installation of a subfloor in a trailer and putting in cabinets. Help with linoleum would be awesome too but I can do that. I can get/ have materials for everything I need done. We just need someone with experience to give us direction , advice and help. Thanks for looking at this post.

First of all, I would like to say thank you for taking time out of your day to read this. Usually, I am the one who helps others, even when I don't have it to help, but now I am the one that needs it. A little back story. Back in Feb of 2014, my family lost their restaurant, the property it was on, and the houses we were living in. We all had to move. I fought and did everything that I could to keep us all together, but it didn't happen. (My oldest are with my parents, my 11 yo, and Read More

A little back story. Back in Feb of 2014, my family lost their restaurant, the property it was on, and the houses we were living in. We all had to move. I fought and did everything that I could to keep us all together, but it didn't happen. (My oldest are with my parents, my 11 yo, and almost 7 yo are with their dads. I had to make sure they had roofs over their heads.)

In June of 2014, I ended up here in Indiana, staying with a friend to help her out with her 5 kids while she worked in exchange for a place to stay until I could get back on my feet and get a place so I could get us all back together again.

I started working a call center job while I was there to make some money to save up, that ended up not working because I would end up having to use my small checks to pay for utilities at the place, because she would friviously spend her checks when she was working. Because it was a call center and the hours I worked were based on the call volume coming in, there were days that I was scheduled for over 7 hours, but would only end up working 1-2 hours, which would make my checks less than $300 every 2 weeks. I had a $80 internet/phone bill each month to pay, "rent" to her, and the rest went to what ever bill that she hadn't paid that month, so I could do no saving.

I started looking for another place, somewhere where I could FINALLY start new without having to worry about spending all my money on others, and be able to have some for myself, so I could get a place, get set, and get my family back together. And I found it. I did everything that I could to get the $ for the first month rent and partial deposit. (The landlord was nice enough to work with me on the deposit after I explained why I needed out of the situation I was in.) I lied to her and told her that one of my last checks was only $100 so I could put some $ away after paying internet/phone bill (which I needed on to work.) I went and donated plasma (could only do it twice, as the 3rd & 4th time I went, my iron levels were off by 1, I started crocheting and selling hats to sell (still have 4 left to make before I start the other run of orders.) I tried selling off everything I could such as vintage jewelry I have and nail polish (nail polish sold, still working on selling the jewelry.) And with that I just BARELY managed to get the $650 I needed to move. $450 for the rent, $150 for the deposit (still owe $275 on deposit) and $50 to a friend for gas money as I do not have a car.

I have applied online to all the companies in the area that have online applications, and have been calling them daily. On days when it's decent (at least 30 outside) I have walked this town inquiring about jobs and turning in applications. My fiancee has done the same.

I have a little over 2 weeks to come up with at least $500. We are both doing everything that we can to do this, and are scared that we will be out on the street. It's times like this that I am glad that I did what I did so my kids have a warm place to stay, but it's also times like this that hurt, when I know I am doing everything that I can to get back on my feet, so I can get my family together again, but nothing seems to go right.

If you would like, yes you can call, I only have about 200 minutes left on my phone though (government phone), I can also give you the paypal address of my landlord for payment, and I can send you copies of receipts to show that it was paid for rent/deposit. Or I can talk to him and see how it would be able to be paid directly to him if that's how you would like to do it.

Again, I thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read this, and consider helping.

I hope you have a blessed day.

I am needing help getting propane to keep my 4 beautiful girls warm this winter. My husband is the only one employed and he has been having some health issues. He has to have surgery to remove a hiasis Hernia that has grown to a size that it is pushing up through his espophagus. He is in alot of pain and was unable to work for a couple of weeks. When we lost those 2 weeks of pay we have went under. I just need for my girls to at least be warm and feed. The fact that we are unable to do this for them right now kills us. I tried calling the propane company and they will not let us do payments at all and wont even come out unless we put in a min of 200 gallons which is almost $400. We just dont have it and we are almost out! Food is getting very thin as well. I go to the food panties when theyre open but i barely get enough to feed my girls for a couple of days. My husband and I dont always get to eat so we can make sure there is enough for them. We had a amazing family offer to allow us to live in their farm house because we had no where to go with our girls! My husband works for them in order for us to have a house for our girls. Now we are just trying to keep them warm and fed until we get back on our feet! Thank you very much for reading and god bless you!

Thank you for reading this post, I appreciate your time. We are coming up on the tail end of a very difficult winter. A high risk pregnancy and labor came at the same time as my husband becoming unemployed. We have exhausted all of our other means of help, and we are in need of assistance as we are trying to get everything back together. We are almost out of groceries and have exhausted our visits to the food pantry, and our rent is due on the first of the month, 710 dollars. My husband just Read More

We are almost out of groceries and have exhausted our visits to the food pantry, and our rent is due on the first of the month, 710 dollars. My husband just started a job and is expecting a check next week that could cover half of rent or some food and diapers but not both. I am in desperate need of some help, groceries and diapers or help with rent would mean the world to us. We have two very small children and we are just trying to keep it together. We would be absolutely sure to pay it forward as soon as we are able. Thanks again for your time.

I am in desperate need. My family and I are experiencing some serious hardship. Our car just broke down and its affecting my husband and I getting to work. The car is actually the least of our problems though. Our electric is scheduled for disconnect on February 8. Our total balance is $886.00, but to keep it from being disconnected it will take $469.00. Our gas has already been disconnected which is forcing us to use electric heaters which are barely warming a room up. I believe this is the Read More

Our total balance is $886.00, but to keep it from being disconnected it will take $469.00. Our gas has already been disconnected which is forcing us to use electric heaters which are barely warming a room up. I believe this is the reason our electric is so high. My husband and I both work, but can't seem to stay above water. We have 2 children in the home and we can't let them go without heat and hot water and lights. We are also having an extremely difficult time with groceries. We get no assistance because we literally make $20 more than allowed for assistance with 3in the home. I am begging someone to help for the sake of our children.

Hi, I'm a mother of 1 trying to make ends meet. With my hours at work not going over 15 hours per week, I'm falling behind on my bills.

I love helping people, but right now my 2 1/2-year-old daughter and I need your help. I've had some recent medical problems and my Fiancé and Daughter's Father just left me and took everything in our joint account (1,562 dollars) with him. Turns out he's not such a great guy after all. We had gotten a house together and without my savings and the $600-$700 he brought into the household, our daughter and I are about to lose everything.

I love helping people, but right now my 2 1/2-year-old daughter and I need your help. I've had some recent medical problems and my Fiancé and Daughter's Father just left me and took everything in our joint account (1,562 dollars) with him. Turns out he's not such a great guy after all. We had gotten a house together and without my savings and the $600-$700 he brought into the household, our daughter and I are about to lose everything. All our utilities are in disconnect and we're about to get evicted.

We're looking for a new place to live but the $625 we pay a month now is about as cheap as you can find a place in the town we live in. As far in debt as I am right now we would probably have to stay at the New Hope Family Homeless Shelter to save up a deposit, first months rent, and dig myself out of the hole I’m in with the utility companies so we can get them reconnected at a new place (they won't connect the utilities if I owe them money). I've already taken a PT job on top of my Full Time position and I've been posting everything that isn't nailed down on eBay. I have made quite a dent in this debt as it was over 3,000 when I started taking on additional work but it just hasn't been quite enough...

Unfortunately I won't be getting any financial help from my babies father at least until the law catches up with him and he's court mandated to pay child support. I make 220 dollars to much a year to qualify for any of the local or federal assistance programs. Less than 20 a month keeps me out of the CASY Childcare Voucher program, the Energy Assistance Program, Trustee Assistance, and the City's Water Disconnection Prevention Program. If I had seen that coming in advance I'd have ask for a pay cut, I just didn't need assistance before.

I have worked so hard over the past five years. I was homeless, unemployed, uninsured, hungry, cold, tired and hopeless. Then I got life skills training to change everything, including my attitude and perspective on life. I volunteer teaching art classes to homeless kids and I know with certainty, one person can make the world around them a better place if they have the will to try with all their might. I know a family can survive homelessness and even be stronger for it, but I don't want my daughter to know homelessness as I have.

Please help us so I can continue helping others. Even if you can only mail me something of value to sell on eBay, that would be a tremendous help! Thank you for your time and attention, God bless.

am requesting help with groceries, gas, utility bill, or even, rent. Anything will help to relax my budget. The smallest amount of either is appreciated greatly. I'm a single mother to 4 wonderful children. I'm a single mother, I work 40 hours + a week. I am college educated, with an associates degree, commuting 4 days a week to finish my bachelors degree. Paying tuition and gas prices puts my budget in the negative weekly, but I always manage a way to rob Peter to pay Paul. Making ends meet Read More

am requesting help with groceries, gas, utility bill, or even, rent. Anything will help to relax my budget. The smallest amount of either is appreciated greatly. I'm a single mother to 4 wonderful children. I'm a single mother, I work 40 hours + a week. I am college educated, with an associates degree, commuting 4 days a week to finish my bachelors degree. Paying tuition and gas prices puts my budget in the negative weekly, but I always manage a way to rob Peter to pay Paul. Making ends meet has became a struggle this month related to Christmas expenses, expensive heating costs, etc. I receive NO government assistance, and I am very proud of that. However, I understand that people fall upon hard times.

On a regular month, my income pays for the bare minimum-- which is paying my utility bills and groceries for a family of 5. I am lucky to have $20.00 left to spend after groceries and utilities are paid, every Friday afternoon-- but we make do. I do not own any credit cards, and I am happy and proud with what I am able to provide to my family. It's my job.

I have a budget made out yearly for at least 6 months in advance, I have nothing in a saving account. No matter how I budget my money this month, I cannot make ends meet. I am short a $137.00 Vectren bill, a $195.03 Duke bill, and a $133.00 water bill. There is no way for me to come up with this money, as other expenses have arose. I don't need life-long help and I'm just requesting help to make it through these 2 weeks that seem impossible. The amounts due are the amounts that MUST be paid to keep my services from a disconnect, as I normally pay a month behind each month but I have NEVER had a disconnect in my life. Even a gas or grocery card would help with these expenses, as it would free up money that would be available to pay these bills.

If there is anyone out there willing to help me just to make it through the next two weeks, I will be back on my feet. I would not be posting here if I thought there was anyway possible of stretching these bills any further but it is absolutely not possible. I have never been in this position to be negative at the end of the weekly budget-- that is already stretched to the penny spent and absolute late due date, and truly not knowing where the funds are going to come from.

I'm not hear to receive rude comments, and you're all entitled to your own opinions, but please before you judge or make accusations about my life-- please keep in mind that you do not know nor my reasons, and be kind. I am at peace with asking for help because I know that God knows my reasoning, and my heart and I can send this and know that he knows my true needs and things will work out however they are intended to. But please try not to judge me for requesting help. I am capable of providing for my family-- I have and will continue to do so-- everyone is entitled to hard times. If you haven't yet, one day you will and someone will be there to carry you through. These times don't define us, but help us to be thankful for what we do have. :)

Thank you!

Hi everyone... This is really hard for me because asking for help can be very embarrassing and discouraging. The reason I'm asking is because our account keeps getting overdrawn over and over and overdraft fees are a constant worry. Anyways, I have been in a recovery program for 4 years now. It's a very extensive recovery program that can last many years. I plan on only being there at the MOST another year. I have worked the program how it was designed and have had such success! When I was 19 Read More

Hi everyone... This is really hard for me because asking for help can be very embarrassing and discouraging. The reason I'm asking is because our account keeps getting overdrawn over and over and overdraft fees are a constant worry. Anyways, I have been in a recovery program for 4 years now. It's a very extensive recovery program that can last many years. I plan on only being there at the MOST another year. I have worked the program how it was designed and have had such success! When I was 19 my mother died and I grieved by using drugs which was wrong but I have completely changed my life. I have a son now! He is almost 1 years old and he's my entire world. But we have run into some problems. My recovery program is 450$ a month and we only bring in around 1,000 a month. We are constantly struggling. I don't feel rushed out of recovery though, I've been there for a long time and it has truly changed my life! If someone could help pay for the rest of my recovery or help save to get our own place (we live with my father), or even help pay for basic needs we would be eternally grateful. Its impossible to save while being in recovery, but my son deserves a happy and healthy mommy! If you have ANY questions regarding my situation or recovery program don't hesitate to email or call me!

I start a new job tomorrow and my wife works as a server, but doesn't make a ton of money. I pick up odd jobs when I can but they are a little scarce right now. If there is anyone who could help us out with some shoes for my wife cor work, some clothes for myself for work, and January rent. We can get the hand up wd need. We also could use some help with our vehicle. We cant afford to get plates and registration, so we have been driving with expired plates. I'm not asking for a hand out, just a hand up.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'm in need of assistance for my Duke-Energy Bill. The bill is $1404.56 and is due for disconnect on January 12, 2015.

I've made it my job to help the hopeless and now, I need your help.

I've lost a lot of people I cared about, my 2 ½ year old daughters father, My Methodist Minister Grandfather, and now My Fiancee. He was the only father my daughter had every know. It's been hard for my daughter who still states everyday that he's gone, and it's been equally as hard on us financially. He brought 500 plus into the home that we got together each month and without that income my daughter and I do not have enough to meet our basic needs. Our utilities are in disconnect, rents due and I don't have the money. In February I'll be on my feet again I just need a little help with the bills until then.

I look at my happy beautiful daughter who knows nothing of financial hardship despite the things we lack, and think of her homeless with me at the local New Hope Family Shelter. That's where we'll be going if I can't come up with $1,102.42 shortly. I've already taken a PT job on top of my Full Time position and I've been posting everything that isn't nailed down on eBay. I have made quite a dent in this debt as it was over 3,000 when I started taking on additional work but it just hasn't been quite enough...

I can pay back anyone who helps us in a couple of months, and I wouldn't want any money to be sent to us directly. I can easily provide account numbers and contact information for the utility companies and get an invoice from my landlord for January Rent so that any rent assistance could be sent directly to him. Please, we don't need a handout, just a loan till the end of February to keep our home. Please help, thank you for your time.

Please help my family. I have always wanted to be the one able to help others but that has changed recently. My name is Jennifer and I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. Unfortunately the disease has been very active. I was unable to work and my husband had to ask to be laid off because I was bedridden. I would gladly give permission for anyone to speak with my doctor's office that may consider helping. I have no ability to pay what would be needed to fix our vehicle and the age Read More

Please help my family. I have always wanted to be the one able to help others but that has changed recently. My name is Jennifer and I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. Unfortunately the disease has been very active. I was unable to work and my husband had to ask to be laid off because I was bedridden. I would gladly give permission for anyone to speak with my doctor's office that may consider helping. I have no ability to pay what would be needed to fix our vehicle and the age almost outweighs the prices/issues. My husband can now go back to work which is desperately needed because we have an 11 year old son to take care off. Our vehicle dies constantly and is considered unreliable and not safe. We are praying for my husband to find a new job and have a reliable vehicle to go to work. He cannot return to his previous job and my ssdi barely keeps us afloat. I pray that someone will read this and please contact me. I now understand how hard it was for people in the past to ask me for help and I am so blessed to have been able to help those before I was so sick. I promise anyone that reads this that I truly can show that I need help and can show any medical documentation requested. It is very disheartening when although you need disability income, you are approved in less than 3 months which I have documentation for and feel hopeless because they changed my application from ssi to ssdi because they do not believe Iwill survive the treatments. I am grateful to anyone that reads this and I appreciate the time given to read my need. - Jennifer, Eric, and Dylan.

Thank you for considering my need, small wheelchair ramps. This has been difficult for me due to pride. But I've hit some pretty low lows in the last year due to health and disability. My savings were wiped by homelessness, and once I got on disability I found a room to rent but there isn't any money left over. My dad helps me all he can, but he's on social security and working part time at walmart due to age and health. I hate having to accept anything from him at all, he needs it just as much Read More

Thank you for considering my need, small wheelchair ramps. This has been difficult for me due to pride. But I've hit some pretty low lows in the last year due to health and disability.

My dad helps me all he can, but he's on social security and working part time at walmart due to age and health. I hate having to accept anything from him at all, he needs it just as much as me.

I'm a wheelchair user, and while the place I live is mostly accessible there are 2 curbs to get inside the house. One 4.5 high, and the other 2.5 at the front door threshold. Its very difficult for me, especially my shoulders, to get up these. And I just found out I need surgery on my right shoulder due to damage. Afterwards, I'm going to have to use a power chair which will not be able to get up these without a ramp. Once I'm able to use my manual chair again, I really need the ramps to protect the repairs. I cannot have the surgery done until I've gotten the ramps and arranged to borrow a power chair.

These curbs are on concrete leading up to the front door. For the 4.5" curb I would need a 2-3 foot long ramp for safety, preferably 3 foot. For the 2.5 at the threshold, 1-2 feet long and 1 foot may be safe enough. I've done a lot of research and so can give options of the cheapest ramps I've found to help start the search if you're interested in purchasing one. If you're able to make one for me, thats great as well. My only concern is safety and that you know what you're doing. As I'm merely renting a bedroom, they have to be something portable and not permanently installed into the cement.

Thank you so much for considering my need. While I don't have much to offer, I'm a great baker and also make soap, lip balm, moisturizer due to my skin sensitives and do custom leather and sewn pet products if you have furry family.

I need help with rent and utilities in the months of December and January. Due to some recent medical problems, no child support and the end of a relationship with my ex-fiancé, I'm $390 short each month on basic expenses where I had not been before. My Daughter and I really just need a few hundred more to make it through, by February I will be able to support myself and my baby again without assistance. We just need a little help just long enough to get my feet back under me. Right now Read More

I need help with rent and utilities in the months of December and January. Due to some recent medical problems, no child support and the end of a relationship with my ex-fiancé, I'm $390 short each month on basic expenses where I had not been before. My Daughter and I really just need a few hundred more to make it through, by February I will be able to support myself and my baby again without assistance. We just need a little help just long enough to get my feet back under me. Right now my water and electric bills are in disconnect, and I've tried everything I can think of to make it through on my own, and I've simply reached my limit. I need help. Please help us make it through just a little longer.

I've contacted my local Trustee and a variety of other agencies to request assistance with December's expenses. I've begun going to the local food banks and the crisis pregnancy center for food and necessities for my baby. I haven't had to seek any kind of assistance of this nature in quite sometime and I vastly prefer to be the one helping rather than the one being helped. I'd be really disheartened as I am working as hard as I can, but I know everyone falls on hard times occasionally and I wouldn't think less of someone else in the same situation, even if I do think less of myself. I've also been posting everything that isn't nailed down on eBay to try and gather enough to cover basic expenses, it just hasn't amounted to much yet.

I do my best to be a good mom, employee and person. I teach Art Classes to homeless and displaced kids at the local Youth Services Bureau and the transitional living program for homeless youth. I work in the Mental Healthcare field serving individuals experiencing extreme life difficulties such as Traumatic Brain Injuries, Schizophrenia, Severe Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Chronic Homelessness, Addiction and/or recent legal histories. It's not an easy job, but I absolutely love helping people. I've just grown unaccustomed to being in the person in the position of needing help, but without help, my utilities will be disconnected, my daughter and I will get evicted, and I will have no hope of getting her anything for Christmas that I didn't make by hand (which wouldn't be great for her). Thank you for your time and attention.

First of all Thank you any and all that read this post. I don't really like asking for help. I always try and make due with what I can. I am a single mother with 2 children and I am about to have another. I was living happily with my children's Father. When I found out he was cheating on me and he left. I am 39 weeks pregnant with complications. I am having a little boy. I worked as long as I could until they no longer let me due to me being so far along. I paid rent and my light bill first Read More

I am 39 weeks pregnant with complications. I am having a little boy. I worked as long as I could until they no longer let me due to me being so far along. I paid rent and my light bill first month and now I've moved in with my mom and given up all we had material. I am just seeing if anyone can please lend me a hand with some baby stuff. I don't mind used. I am not asking for things bought for me or my kids. I am trying to get a Car seat Most of all, but I also need a baby bed and baby clothes. Thank You anyone that takes time to read this.
