Try selling your belongings. Or ask a local church for help.
I would also suggest looking toward any family you may have.

I posted before but now I am desperate. I have 3 days to come up with 2000.00 or I am going to be evicted from my apartment.
I had a heart attack in August and now unemployment will not pay me and Disability will not pick me up either since the cardiologist had to run tests. Now the cardiologist has disabled me until February and I still have not received any funding since the government takes forever.
I am not homeless material. I am so very scared. I can pay anyone back once I start receiving money but for now I am seeking an angel to help me. I have gone to all the charities and they are out of funding. I have gone to the state programs and since I do not have a child I can not be helped.
I have tried everywhere I can think of and now I am desperate. Is there anyone out there that can help or several people that can?? I don’t know where else to turn
We don’t give out $ on this site - only helpful ideas.
Try begging on the street? I know it sounds odd but people have made quite a bit of cash that way…
Is it the worst thing to be evicted? Just let it happen and stay with a friend/family until you get a cheaper apartment.
How long before you can go back to work?

I will not be able to return to work until at least February. The doctor has disabled me until then and I am certain I will be able to take care of things after I get this taken care of. My landlord has been so understanding in this process but she is now at the end of her rope as well..I don’t know what else to do.
Ask co-workers for a loan.

Again already done that. This has been going on since August. This is why I am now reaching out to strangers. I am a proud person and have never EVER been in this situation before. I have always been the one to help others and now it is my turn and not having done this before do not know where to turn. I have contacted everyone I know which have been so kind to help with 50 dollars here and 100 dollars there, but that went to food. Since I do not have any of that either. I have since gotten food from local charities to keep from starving but I fear that I will have another heart attack just from stress. I hate asking even here, I feel very small. I am usually the one saying here is 20 pay it when you can or giving the person on the side of the street a couple dollars. Please understand that this is very hard.
Phone around and ask old friends.
We understand that it’s hard, but you have to know that no one here will give you money. It just won’t happen.
My advice is still to stay with friends or family until you go back to work. Or can’t you just get some easy temporary sit-down desk job that requires no stess or anything physical?

It is against the law for anyone to hire me under a drs care that has disabled me. believe me I have tried that avenue as well. Even searched for a job under the table but since I had a heart attack people are scared to hire me and if I do not disclose it that is terms for immediate termination. It is like a rock and a hard place.
Wow, what country do you live in??

I live in California, hahaha which I guess you can call bass akwards in its own right. Seems we have all kinds of silly things that no one understand.
Is that a state law or federal law…that just doesn’t seem right.

if you are under a doctors care you can not be hired. Not sure if it federal or what but that is why California has this short term disability. Just takes forever.
so the government is going to give you free money? not fair!

its not free money, I paid into it from the 23 years I have been working. This is a fund that everyone pays into in california.
steff wrote:

its just like social security but CA has a short term disability fund that all people pay into as well. Its minimal like 4 or 5 dollars per week but it is there for people in my situation, also if someone is pregnant and needs time off for maternity leave this fund pays them as well.
That seems pretty weird. Most people get benefits like that through their employers.
And you’ve been waiting since August? Doesn’t seem very efficient.

its not, that is why I am now reaching out, I have contacted Senators catholic charities, american heart association salvation army local churches etc. I am at the end of my rope and this was a last resort for me. I HATE begging!

it is bad enough begging here.. I am a proud person but if I have too I will, its just in me. I have given lots of money to people begging but I do not look homeless and I doubt anyone would help me.
stop being proud. do what you have to do.

So dress the port. Don’t do your hair for a few days. You’d be surprised how much you get.
Well you could try to get a job…but if you ment that you can’t work then try to stay with a friend or your mom until you get the money for your apartmen…or until you have money to buy a new apartment. I’m pretty sure your mother or a friend will let you stay until you get back on your feet… I would love to help you if I could, but I can’t. This is the only advice i’ve got for you and I hope it helps a little.

stop searching on internet like this-it is not going to improve your situation, instead ask friends and familly, i think you have heavy anxienty that is not helping you only makes it worse, go to Barnes and Noble and read book “Who moved my cheese” and keep moving with cheese not just crying desperately on the same spot!!! Life is a challenge nobody will give you money here do not forget everybody works those days very hard for money

well I was hoping for a guardian angel. Obviously I am not finding that. I am well educated and have worked very hard all my life. I do not need you to judge me for reaching out. I did what I could and have hit a hard wall. But I will survive because that is what I do. I am a survivor. Thank you for all your input on this matter. I appreciate those that actually care and those that think I am an idiot well, when you find yourself in my situation and nowhere else to go you will turn to what you know and I was hoping, that maybe..just MAYBE someone would read this and have some compassion. I understand that in this day and age of scammers etc that it is hard to trust anyone but in all honesty I have done everything that I can and this was a last resort. So please do not judge me for hoping or having a little faith in humanity.
We do care, and we’re not judging. We were all trying to give you good advice. We don’t have money to give. I need money.

Getting mad is obviously not going to help. We NEVER give $ on this site. If that’s all you were looking for here, you’re NOT going to get $ from this site. I do care. I like helping that’s why I’m here.
If I had nothing I could sell, no family/friends/coworkers I could ask for $ I would ask strangers on the street. You’d get more that way then here. Sorry we couldn’t help.
