PLEASE DONATE!

!! WE NEED HELP!!! SAVE US! LIVING WEEK TO WEEK!

Hello Friend,

I am Donald and i need your help. My wife (of 35 years) and I have cared for a ailing grandmother, who later died. Aided my father-in-law, with terminal prostate cancer. And survived the death of my father, a year later. Plus the near-death illness of my mother, who survived a very low blood count of 4. Thru-out this ordeal, we raise two, lovely children. One daughter, married for 9 years and happy, despite an apartment fire (first year of marriage) that destroyed all their belongings. And a son, who does volunteer work, living on just the basic necessities.

My wife and I now live in the family home, which needs some upgrades (bathroom, HVAC system, cook stove…etc). However, due to mounting expenses, periods of unemployment, my credit is awful. I blame no one for the many bad decisions made in the past, resulting in bad credit. Yet, it limits my available resources, so we desperately need your help.

We live check to check….week to week. With normal deductions of health and dental insurance, coupled with growing medical, credit card, tax bills, and garnishments, leaves very little for day to day expenses. Please help us pay off these bills and allow us to make some home improvements, before, literally, the roof falls in on us.

Your help can make a critical difference. We are not looking to get rich but would just like to be able to live. Any amount is appreciated.

HELP ME….HELP MY FAMILY!

please don’t think this mean but how does someone ask for a upgrade on their house when there are lots of people here are asking for help with 400 for rent or for food, clothing, people that are homeless. I need help all the time i would never ask for myself, because i know how to get by.

maybe there are ways to cut back on your expences so you can save the money yourself, do over the internet selling, but never ask if you can help yourself.

i hope you are able to find the strenght in yourself to pull you thru this hard time in your life. I think that maybe you might have a lesson to learn here that once you come out of this, and you will, that you are a better and happier person.

all the best,

catherine

Have you considered debt consolidation and a possible line of credit? Considering the equity of a home, there is a possibility with the low rates to find something that would work for you and your wife.

Just be sure that if you do decide to go this route that you check on the company who offers the services, sometimes the fact that they work to help you get back on track, shows up on your credit report.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

everyone thinks habitat for humanity is this great way and helps people so much, do you all know that they still sell the home to the buyer at 30 years at a miniunm of 70 thousand dollars and a nice healthy monthly mortage and they will forclose just like anyone else. so they are not the great save everyone thinks they are. i have had to help more than one family that fell behind and was getting in crisis with the monthly payments.
tellme what city you are in and maybe i can help you find the sources that will help you with NO STRINGS
