Need to visit my sick wife

Hello,

My wife was becoming ill over the past couple of months and finally went back to her country for medical care to find out what was wrong.  After weeks of testing, her condition is terminal.  I do not want to get into what it is, but there is nothing worse.

We had just moved to a new house together and she didn't even get to enjoy it.  We are coming off of a failed business and I am only doing freelance work, and we have no extra money.

I can hear the desparation in her voice, the fear and I need to be with her.  I can about swing the plane ticket, but I would need to be there awhile and would need money to pay some bills here and maybe the next tax payment.  I will sleep on the streets if I have to, as long as I get to see her again.  I want to bring her family pictures, read to her, hold her hand and support her for as long as I can.  

I could not be more desparate and alone in this.  I am going to lose my wife, my house and my future.  Please if you are able, help me.

I'm stuck

I'm 23 and I live at my girlfriends mothers house, I have no job and neither does she.

I know, I know I sound horrible but please don't stop reading yet... 

My mother suffers from many physical ailments as well as mental ones, including hepC, MS, and severe depression. My Father died when I was 16, after he died my mother lost it completely she cut me and my two young siblings off from the rest of my family... and once my mother found out I was a lesbian she cut me off as well. I was kicked out of my house when I was 18, and for 4 years my girlfriend and I lived on our own, and we were very happy.

After 4 years of living in our low rent apartment in Brooklyn the landlord told us he wanted the apartment for himself and we had to leave our home and jobs, we had to move to the only place we could go... my girlfriends mothers house. We now live in a small town in P.A. its 10 miles to just get to town and we can't afford a car because we don't have jobs... but we can't get jobs without a car to get us there. 

I feel so stuck and depressed I know its a lot to ask and I know my request is far from unique but I need money, I feel silly asking strangers for their help but I have nowhere to turn.

Help Get Me to Japan

I really want to take a trip to Japan and really need your help. Going to Japan is my dream so please donate some money for me to go. I plan on going with a tour so I need it a few weeks before the tour starts. I definitely need at least 00 before the end date I have. I need it at least in late June early July. The tour is from Aug. 31 to Sep. 9

You just have to donate if I can get 8,000 people to donate I can finally go to Japan. Just is all it takes, you can donate a little more if you want to but I'm not asking you to all I'm doing is asking you to donate . I would love a little more money, but just is just fine.

I've been wanting to go for over 2 years close to 3 probably over 3 years so pretty please help out, I'd really appreciate it.

I haven't been on what you would call a vacation in 6 years because no one can afford it and I really need a vacation. I need to get out of the state out of the country for a little while. This would make me really happy and could really help me with being able to actually grow as a person and everything. So please help me out.

This money pays for the tour which will be about ,400plus the tax and fuel charges which will be about 0. It pays for the extra things to do on the tour which will be about 0 when all of it is added up, this applies to paying for the tour. it pays for the registration deposit which is 0. It pays for my plane ticket to the Los Angles International Airport where the tour will be meeting up before boarding the plane to go to Japan. Plus it gives me money to eat while there. Eating in Japan is expensive.

The tour is Pop Japan Travel.

Going to Japan will be a great experience for me and will finally have me do something out of the ordinary and great. It will get me out of the house for a change. I'm always in the house because I have no where to go. It will also help me decide if I want to go to school over there which at the moment I do want to do. Going on the tour will help me fully decide that.

So all I need is from 8,000 people to finally do something of my dreams.

Please help! Thank you and much love if you help out.

 

I have a website where you can donate:

Thank You!

This is a very exciting time right now. In just over 3 weeks, I'll be heading out to Hawaii to participate in a 26 day yoga teacher training intensive. It's amazing how things come together. Now that I'm reaching the final stretch, I'm digging deep and asking for some more help. Through generous friends and the overwhelming generosity of my teacher, I have raised 00 since March. I'm so grateful and am really impressed with just how giving the Universe/God or whatever you choose to call the Creator is. I'm in awe. I've also found a job that pays pretty well. Recently, my job has offered lots of overtime. And I'm happy to say that I'll be able to pay my tuition and room and board. So, why am I asking for money? Airfare! I'd need to get to Hawaii in order to participate. Also, I need to buy a tent for me to live in. Kundalini Yoga changed my life. I am so eager to share what I've learned with everyone. I'm especially excited to help women and girls who have survived rape and sexual abuse reclaim their bodies through the technology that is Kundalini Yoga. The total cost of tuition, tent site and meals including airfare is 00. I only need another 00 to pay for my flight and tent. Thank you so much for reading this posting. 

 

Many Blessings!

I'm new to this site,I hope I can find some help here,Ive been looking EVERYWHERE,any type of help or advice is very much appreciated! My BF and I moved out of state in search of jobs,and he found a good job (or so we thought) but since then he has been laid off so we're struggling trying to live on unemployment and any side income we can rake in-and raise our son at the same time. Now we get news that my BFs mom isnt in the greatest of health and were asked if we could come spend sometime with her and help the other family members take care of her while she's ill,and to spend time with her just incase her health doesnt improve.We're struggling to make rent and keep food on the table though,we just CANT afford the gas money to travel there (400 miles approx.). I know this may not seem like a neccesity to many people and none of the social service organizations will help with gas money,but I was hoping to find some type of help online for my BF because we've lived out of state for 3 years and he hasnt gotten to spend much time with any of his family-and I would feel HORRIBLE if his mothers health would get any worse and he was unable to see her! Any ideas of where to turn to for help??

Wow. Night 3.

Back to that story of how my place flooded with sewage, I had to clean it up because the landlord is a shady bastard, and my pets and I got sick. 

Really sick. I almost choked to death in my apartment last week and had to call 911-- the place always had a problem with mold, but after the flood it got so bad that it became difficult to breathe in there-- for me, and almost every other person that visited. 

On the up side, I finally got my cats free vet care from the Downey Memorial clinic in Seattle, which operated out of a mission downtown twice a month. It was a real ordeal, but I really got them over $400 of life-saving vetrinary care. Both cats had an allergic reaction, but one lost more than half of his fur and became very ill. 

So, in any case, I'm glad to be alive. I also really need a lawyer in Seattle to take my case on contingency or pro bono. I've gotten a lot of advice on this, have lots of pictures and documentation, and have been advised that I really do have a VERY good case....particularly because I had Seattle city code compliance come in and discover that it was never meant to be an apartment. It was an office that was illegally converted. 

That, and I almost died in it. They actually rented this place to me, and to my best friend, who has an immune disorder. I am so glad he wasn't here when this happened. They rented this place knowing that it had flooded in excess of ten times for the previous tenant, and after he moved did not properly install new carpeting, or gut the walls. What happened was swept under the rug, and they passed it onto the next tennents. 

They acted like they were trying to find a reason to kick me out after the flood, and I was sick, and decided that my only option would be to move- even though I cannot afford it. It's not safe to be there. I went to the hospital three times over related problems. 

Now I am -homeless-, and my cats are stuck in a friends bathroom. I have never been in a situation like this before.

I really could use some help- legal help, financial help, help with housing, transportation, a vehicle, and/or a way to get back to New Orleans for a while (where I have a better support network ) . 

If anyone has some advice, I'm listening...

Dear Potential Sponsor:

The America Association for the Deaf League (AADL) Tournament will be held on November 9 – 17, 2009, La Rioja, Argentina!

This is for Geo from Florida to play for USA Men’s Volleyball  Team and trip to the  Argentina for AADL games and we want to bring the bacon back home! Geo played Volleyball for some leagues in whole of his life. He is really a good and one of most key players on the team.

The athletes participating in this competition will receive leadership training as well as an oppournity to meet other deaf athletes from countries around the world. We are looking for donators to assist us  in making this experience the best for all of the Men Volleyball Players involved.

Geo recently named to the team, he is currently fundraising to cover expense for playing on team. Without this, Geo will not be able to attend to La Rioja, Argentina. It is important we have all funds ready before we arrive in La Rioja in order to pay for all travel and competition costs.

Please do not miss this opportunity to make a difference in a young “up-and-coming” leader’s life.

If you are interested in donating Geo as in the USA Deaf Volleyball Player, please do support! When you donate, please also let Geo know your name and address so he will mail you a thank-you card.        

 

Thank you.

 

 

please help me with the donations, 1-5-10-20-50-100-500 dollars will be great. :) thanks.

Hi,

I am a 55 yr old partially handicapped woman,and my many hobbies include writing short stories,making jewelry,and creating artwork and traveling.I have traveled the world,and only in the last 10 years,have I begun building a body of work that isnt just for the young,or the wealthy.I am building information for both handicapped and single travelers. The handicapped have special restrictions as to how they can travel,and,I've found,where they can go even.I have found that if you have any type of handicap that people can be insensitive to your situation,and yet others will reach out to give you a hand.I plan to document all this for those of us who need ramps,or even just a hand hold to get up,etc. Things as small as that can be important to the handicapped traveler,..and there are many of them.Also,single travelers who are into camping will find themselves out in the cold in some places,and yet have an open road in other places.I am gathering information for these types of people.When I publish it,I am hoping that it will help a lot of travelers sort some things out,before they get to where they are going.So they will have a book in hand that says a bit more than the popular travel books such as Fodors.Fodors and others usually dont have this info,so,if I can finish my work,..it will be available.I have only the balkan countries to go now.Hungary and Romania.

Wish me luck!

Teach a man to fish

If you teach a man to fish he will eat forever. Day in and day out many of us go through tough trials and tribulations. The economy in many towns is very recessed and the unemployment rates continues to rise. What are we to do to change this? We have a simple solution. Teach people to fish.

 The internet has created massive opportunities for so many. If you can send an email you can run your own business these days. The cost to do so can range anywhere from the $1000's to practically $0. We run our business at the cost of what it takes have internet access and the cost of our phone service. So how can we show others to the same?

The goal is to teach you how to pick an business opportunity and use the internet to market your business. So what is your first step? For us it was finding an industry that we loved. Travel was that industry for us. The next step was the most time-consuming. We researched the various opportunities on the market and found one we were comfortable with. That opportunity was Coastal Vacations. 

Loving travel the way we do this opportunity was the perfect fit. In our first 7 weeks of business we made well obver 10k. (CHECK OUT OUR STORY HERE ) Now we don't tell you this to impress you but rather to impress upon you the ease with which you can succeed. All we did was promote our site to people. There are many ways to do this. You can tell all your friends and family and acquaintences. You can advertise on the internet. You can give away samples.  You can do home shows. The avenues to advertise are endless. What is even better is that you can do most of these things for almost no cost.

So are you ready to learn? If so then we need to talk. We are currently looking to expand our business and looking for people with a desire to succeed. Experience is not a prerequisite for this postion as we will teach you how to fish. If you have that desire then we suggest
