I am the single Dad of 3 great kids.  My oldest is special needs and my other two are young.  I have been self employed in the mortgage industry for the last several years in Michigan.  I lost everything and find myself unable to support my kids(or myself).  Although I am divorced, it was not of my choosing.  My ex-wife had an affair, left me and was pregnant within 1 month of me moving out.  I can now only have my kids half of the time.  I was devastated.  I adorded my wife and the thought of not seeing my kids everyday was heartbreaking.  At that time I cursed God for taking kids away.  How could he have let this happen?  It has been 3 years since the start of her affair and my downword spiral.  In my despair I have turned to God and asked for his help.  And I have recieved it!  Sometimes in small ways.  Other times He has let me know that I can undure.  That He has a plan for me.  That He does care.  He values my life when I didn't.

I am now in a situation where I have $200 to my name.  I am buying groceries with that money today.  I had no income for 2009 or 2010 and have borrowed as much as I could from family.  I cannot recieve unemployment because I was self employed.  I am 5 weeks behind on rent and I fear when my ex-wife finds out she will pursue custody of my kids.  I cannot bear that and am asking for help.  Please know that I am sincere.  I have always been a very fortunate person in life and have never found myself in a situation quite like this.  I have earned a very good income my whole life and just need some help getting back on my feet. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and may God bless you and yours.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. My story begins with a two story fall that fractured two vertebrae. I was running my own small contracting company. I was off of work 6 months and had to sell off my equipment to pay off two cars and keep our heads above water. The money ran out 3 months ago and we were forced out of our home. I'm getting up and around again and could use some help with gas, bills, and saving for our own place, since we are currently living with family. Thank you for reading.

    hi, i am self employed father of 3, i work seven days a week, ive done well till this economy meltdown, im in the restaurant business, as you all know we are all suffering very bad right now, i cant pay my business mortgage,im behind on my house mortgage, i lost every investment ive made in the last 10 years, im fighting with everything ive got left, 3 years ago the banks were telling me i have plenty of equity, so i remodeled my place, now they tell me im upside down, i feel like a victom here, i suply jobs to around 30 people here, thats 30 family survive from my place, everyone but me, im greek born in brazil and im 49 years old, i dont know what to do anymore, im sleepless, i cant eat, and worst of all how do i go home someday and tell my family that weve lost everything we got, including college funds.

 If theres anybody in this world that would be able to give me a loan covered by anything that i have left in order for me to get thru these rough times i would just about give you my soul as well as everything left just to save my business and home.

 Im not to sure if theres an angel of help out there for hard working greeks like me, but if there is im willing to do everything and anything i have to in order to save the little bit i have left and also assure my faithfull emplyees of theyre familys next meal.

Hello everyone,

I live in Ca. I barely making it. I want a real work from home job, or o become self empoyed. Please help!

...unlike so many in need, we don't have any kids, we're almost 50 and self-employed.  When things were good for us we always helped our families for example my parents needed help with expensive medicines for diabetes and heart conditions but since both are doing very well, thank goodness for that!! When my husbands sister needed support for her 3 kids in between jobs and when my older brother fell on his head and needed help to support his 2 kids when his wife just walked away.  His situation practically drained us -- now we're behind on our bills and the stress has been almost unbearable.  When hurricane Wilma passed through Florida we took time off from our business to help my parents get their home back in order because of damage, no electric, no running water, etc for almost a week and the side of their house was damaged and we chimed in to help with that as well. Although that was a while ago, it seems that time just slipped away and we just can't get caught up. My husband recently had emergency heart surgery and that was another set back although we worked through it and contineu to forge ahead.  We CAN get back on our feet -- we just need some financial assistance so we can get back on our feet.  Please help!!

Hi My name is Dale. I feel really strange doing this, but I don't what else to do at this point. My wife made a promise to a long time friend who has since passed on 2 years ago. The promise was that she would take of her family which she left behind. They consist of her 64 year old husband(who has diabetics & heart problems,her uncle 86(who has alzheimers) her adopted 16 year old daughter and 18 year son. My wife handles all of their finances and medical bills with the help of the state. When I married my wife 3 years ago, I got to meet her long time friend. She died of cancer. My wife suffers with depression. It hit her real bad a year and a half ago. She had to come out of work. I'm self employed. I have a flooring installation business. Business has been good, but hard on me and my wife with the added responsibilty. The family lives in an apartment just across the street. It makes it tuff keeping an eye on the elders as well as the teenagers. We have an opportunity to bring them under one roof, which would of make it easy for all. We need to come up with $31,820.70 for down payment on a 6 bedroom home. We are able to come up with $6,325.00, leaving a balance of $25,495.70.We have a contract on the house and are schedule to close on April 25,2008. I don't know any one out there in cyberspace. I just hope & pray we can get this house. If interested in helping, make out check or money order to Tidewater First Mortgage, care of crystal and dale parker. Thank you so much for your heart felt giving.  Dale

I am a 37 year old from south Fl. I have never taken government assistance, I've always paid my taxes. I just recently got hurt while working. Since I am a self employed construction worker. I do not qualify for workman's comp. I hurt my back when I fell 18 ft off a roof. I have no medical insurance. My M.R.I was 1800.00 alone, Just to find out I herniated two of my disk. I don't have the money for the physical therapy and chiropractic treatments.I tried for government assistance, But they said I made too much money last year. I told them I hadn't made a pay check in months. The best they could do was give me $20 a month in food stamps. So i have spent my entire adult life paying taxes and for what? I am about to lose my home.  I don't know what to do. I am not permanently disabled. So I don't qualify for social security. I spent ten years of my life defending this country 88-98. This is the thanks I get. Sorry to bother everyone with my problems. Please say a prayer for me

I am a mother of three truely great kids, 2 girls ages 7 and 12, and a little boy getting ready to turn 3. I love my kids and spend all my time with them while my boyfriend of 11 years kills himself to support us. We have struggled our hole life together becomeing parents at 17. We have tryed to give our children everything and more. My boyfriend came from a rough background were his mother provided for the family and his father did nothing. He doesn't want his kids to have to grow up without haveing any one around so he insist that I stay home with them. I don't mind, my mother stayed home with me when I was growing up, but it makes me feel like I'm not contributing to the household. After moving around every year for the past 11 years we finally bought a house. He works as a carpet installer which means he is self employed, he does this back breaking works by himself and has no insurence. Recently he hurt his back and had to do small jobs just to pay the bills, we have been struggleing ever sence. We have managed to keep up the regular bills but the house payment has fallen behind and now we are in forecloser. I don't know what to do. I have prayed and saved money but it is not enough to get out of forecloser they want 2800 dollaers and I only have 1500. Even if I can come up with the amount they want, then I have to go on payment arrangement and I can't afford that. I have thought about going to a local church to ask for help. But I feel like there are so many people out thier who need help more than I do. I just don't want to lose my house. My daughter has been to 5 differant schools in the last 7 years and moving would mean another school. She is only in sixth grade, I don't know what to do. I am out of ideas. We can make our regular payments and stay up with our regular bills if we can just get out of this situation. We are trying to help ourselfes and it feels like because we are no one else want to. Shouldn't it be the other why around though? I hate to ask for money when there are poeple who are worse off but if you would like to help I am willing to listen to any and all suggestions.  If you would like to help you can E-mail me at tbeachboard@comcast.net .

We found out in January of this year that my husband has lung cancer.  Any help with bills would be greatly appreciated. 

My husband, Charles, was diagnosed with cancel January of this year.  I started my own business in April of last year.  I had a dream and thought things would be great being my own boss until January of this year.  I have to take time off to take my husband to Doctor visits, Chemo, Radiation, etc.  While I'm not there, I'm not making money and he has not been able to help.  I found out today he has to have surgery on his back.  I'm behind on our personal bills and my business bills.  Any help would be greatly appreciated and I guarantee that when back on my feet, I will be glad to help anyone I can. Please if you read this and can help financially, it will be greatly appreciated.  Any amount will help.  I believe when in hard times, people need to stick together to get through.  My address is 6806 Breen Drive, Liberty NC 27298.  God Bless and God Speed.  I'm having trouble getting my messages.  My e-mail is olbrty@aol.com.

We found out in January of this year that my husband has lung cancer.  I own my own business which is failing because of having to take him back and forth to the doctor and hospital.  He is not able to help me in any way.  I need financial help.  My bills are getting behind, personally and business.  Any financial help would be greatly appreciated.  My address is 6806 Breen Drive, Liberty NC 27298.  I do believe in helping one another out in hard times.  Thanks, God Bless and Gods Speed

I am the mother of a three year old little boy and the wife of a very hard working, wonderful man.  Recently we have had financial troubles, and they just seem to be snow balling out of control.  Right now, we are $400 from losing our home.

I just started a great stay at home job that pays very well.  Unfortunately, my first check is going to come three weeks too late to do us any good.

My husband works as a security guard, but had to miss a lot of work because I was sick.  I was in and out of the hospital for a month and a half with kidney problems.  I am better now, but we as a family are very close to being homeless.  I don't know if there is anyone out there that can or will help us.  I view this mostly as my prayer that someone will hear.

Any help I receive is going to be paid back to this site to others needing the same help I do now.

Please...if you can help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.  God bless.

Hi everyone! I am here in hopes of trying to get some help. I am a mother of two and a grandmother of four. I have been out of work for a while and just got a job! Hooray!! The problem is that I am in debt! I know I have a job now and will do my best to pay my bills but I would like to pay them off as soon as possible to get my credit reestablished. I am hoping that I can get someone to help me in paying off asap! I would pay you back with a payment plan. My debt is around 20k, but I figure I could probably negotiate with creditors to around 12k? This is not a con! I am real, a grandmother that has been there for her family and only hope to be able to continue in helping them as well as others. Thank you for not making fun of this situation. Only serious responses PLEASE! Thank you.  

I am a 54 year old man living in Thane, province Maharashtra in India.  I am married with two kids. My two kids are studying in school/college. I am a self employed person and have no such fixed monthly income. Most of the time I have to borrow money to feed my family and to pay fees for school education.  My family live in below poverty line.  We live in a tiny house admeasuring approximately about 220 sq. ft.  I am trying hard to buy a little larger house, so that we can live in it without any suffocation.  As I have no finance of my own to buy a home, I am seeking help from kind hearted people.
