Ok. This must be the longest long shot I've ever taken, but after the past month, I'm willing to take a stab at anything humanly possible. I am 22 years old. I am just a normal girl who decided it was time to move out of her parents house. Not that I didn't love being there, but it wasn't their job to take care of me anymore. I have been at the same job since high school; I recently became full-time. I make $10 an hour, which isn't much but is enough to pay rent at my crappy apartment, pay the electric bill, & buy food. The food part gets tricky; I have become very fond of ramon noodles with a slice of cheese. I have a $1,010 dollar student loan that I pay the standard $50 minimum payment on per month. Last May, after some occasional stomach discomfort, I decided to see a Dr. After over $2,700 in medical bills, I have been told I have Focal Nodular Hyperplasia...a nice way of saying,'hey you have some tumors on your liver but you're alright.' I pay $175 a month to a collection agency to slowly get them paid off. I now have insurance, but I was uninsured at the time. Now, today, after hearing some minor scraping while hitting the brakes on my 07 PT Cruiser, I have found out that many things on my car have decided to give me trouble. If I knew the exact term, is surprise myself, but after paying for new brakes and rotors, they tell me my radiator fan isn't blowing. He may as well have been speaking German to me, because all I heard was 'ching, ching.' As sure as the sky is blue, I need 800 dollars to fix this. Apparently my car will keep running hot until its fixed. So here it is: I need help.. Like I need it more than anyone. Because if I can't get to work with my car, I'm as sure as broke. Thanks for listening.
I am so very FRUSTRATED. I am still struggling to find a way to provide and its dead ends at every turn. Its not going to be a great Christmas for the kids this year at all.
I need work on my car done and cant afford it, no money for christmas gifts, and charities say I applied too late. I need real, tangible, practical help from someone who cares, not well wishers who dont put their sentiments into action.
HELP !!! Can anyone help in a real way???? PLEASE ?
IT GOT WORSE..... I have had it. If I dont come up with $1000 by the end of the month, I lose everything.... literally. At that point, i am completely done trying and will have nothing else to lose....Its hard to move forward when it is overwhelming againt you.
i spent the day trying to call every church, government program, charity, ministry, community group, united way, etc...... I heard NO alot and some told me not to call back.
I am tired of this and am ready to call it quits
hello I am single mom of four and my car just broke today. The shop says it needs the lifters done which isnt that expensive for the parts but the labor is huge! the bill will be about $700 I was told. I work full time as a property manager so I can be close to home to care for my two disabled sons Especially during the summer. Problem is that I need my car to run checks to the banks and forms to the corp office. If they find out my car is broken I may get fired and end up homeless. Where can I get some help with the car repairs so I can 1 take my boys to the dr appts they need and 2 keep my job. I barely make it pay day to pay day now and do get 86.00 a month in food stamps which really helps..... I just need some funds for the unexpected!!! Please help or tell me where I may possibly get some help. Thanks for reading and God Bless all of you. I count my blessings every day and reading some of the other stories on here WOW my problems are not so bad today. Good luck to everyone who is in need. May you get the help you need.
