I recently moved to Waterbury, CT from the Bronx, NY for a better quality of life.  I had no idea that finding a job with my skills would be so hard.  In fact, my area of expertise is no longer in demand.  This is why I decided to go back to school.  I couldn't afford to take 2 years off and go back to school for what I wanted which is to become an RN so I decided to take the shortest course they were offering, complete it, start working and then go back to school to pursue my dream to become and RN.  Right now, I am spending so much money out of pocket for school and that is interfering with other obligations such a being able to pay my rent, light bill, and other living expenses.  In addition, I am responsible to pay for my school books, registration fee, uniforms, class trips that pertain to the studies we are in.  I am totally overwhelmed and don't know what to do, I need money now.  If more information is needed or if you know someone who can help, please contact me at eleyva@comcast.net

Hi, I was just reunited with my high-school girlfriend about four months ago after 20 years of separation.  We are planning to get married but we just found out she is pregnant.  The baby is seven weeks old.  My fiancee is bipolar and suffers from a thyroid problem that affects her body temperature.  She is hot one minute and cold the next.  To make matters worse, she has had to stop the bipolar medicine because of the pregnancy.  I am a good person who has made a few mistakes in my past, but I have learned from them and made myself a better person.  Her family doesn't see it that way.  In their eyes once a criminal always a criminal.  So they are not giving any support to us.  Her own parents have called me and told me to get her to have an abortion.  That we will have a retarded baby.  I just cannot understand their thinking.  No matter what we will love our child.  The down side now is that I have lost my job because I have had to stay home and take care of my fiancee, and because of my criminal background it is hard for me to get a job.  I wasn't aware of all the expenses a new baby entails.  Plus we just moved into a new apartment.  I know there are compassionate people out there who are willing to help their fellow man, I'm asking for that help now.  Anything would be helpfull.  I do not usually ask for help, but with my first child on the way everything has changed.  We are both 38 years old, so this may be our last chance to have a child.  I just want to do it right.  My parents can only help so much.  If anyone can help I would be very appreciative.  My E-Mail address is jasoncrocenzi@yahoo.com.  Or you can call me at 717-542-0516.  I live in the Harrisburg, PA area.  Call me or E-Mail me and we can talk.  Thank You with all my heart

from the other side of "asking for money"-- how to make others feel good about helping you

I now have read several posts from people asking for money to help pay their bills....and kids' christmas presents....speaking as someone who grew up very poor, and now has a little extra, but not a lot, let me share what makes me part with it....

First of all, it is better to ask for something someone already has, and is not using.  Instead of asking for money, ask for things you buy, so you can save your money to pay your own bills. For example, if buying school clothes for your size 12 son, ask if anyone has outgrown in good condition pants in size 12 boys.  If I had any, I'd pay money to send them to you.  Same with a kid's outgrown winter coat.  If trying to cut back on groceries so you have money for other bills, ask me how we manage.  I'd tell you, a bread maker and great soup recipes.  I'd send you the recipes, and if someone else has a bread maker they are not using, they'd probably give it to you before they'd give you 50 bucks for groceries, or at least tell you about a cheap one one ebay.  If you are looking for Christmas presents for your three year old, start a fischer price little people collection, and I'd send you some! Nice stuff doesn't have to be new stuff, be creative!  Ask people how they cut down on electricity before you ask if they'll pay your electric bill.  See if anyone has a spare part before you buy one from the repair guy.  If you even look like you are creatively planning ahead, instead of just reacting to what happens to you, I will be more assured that my help will actually help you, and will be much more likely to open my wallet.   God bless.  Sarai

Asking for assistance is one of the more humbling of life's experiences but here goes:

One of my earliest childhood memories was of how much I hated when my Mother would recruit me to go to one of my neighbor's houses and ask to borrow a cup of sugar or whatever it was that she needed to borrow.  My mother had eight children, but someone, I was usually always the one that she would call on to do what I felt was this unpleasant thing because I believe that she intuitively knew that I was the one that liked asking people for help the least of all of her children.  Yes, we were poor, but my childhood was in my mind a very happy one.  But happy though it was, I still pushed myself hard to do all of the things that I was taught to do to improve the odds of my success in life.  I was taught to work hard in school; and I did just that--graduating from high school with top honors and going on to earn several degrees and managing to pile up many more academic accolades along the way.  And at the end of that road, after all of my hard work, how disheartening it has been for me to find that all of those doors that I was told that education would surely open wide for me, are still firmly closed.  It seems that I can't catch a break in life and I am fighting hard not to become totally depressed about all of this.  The question that I have been asking myself is, what do you do when you've done your very best and things still don't work out for you?  I am disheartened, but I have not toally given up hope, (because in the word of the famous song, while hope is frail it really is hard to kill); And that brings me here, to the aidpage to do that thing that I have found it so hard to do my whole life--to ask for help.  I have put a lot of thought into this, and what I figure I should do at this point since I am in dire straits is instead of continuing to send out zillions of resumes and letters of application (in vain), that I should take a more aggressive approach to my finances and start my own business.  Since I do not have a job, there is no way that I can possibly raise these funds unless someone out there in Cyberland reading this can and/or is willing to offer me assistance in accomplishing my goal of opening a business of my own.  I am finding it hard to ask for help here, but I suppose that it is a bit easier because I am not asking for a hand-out but, I am asking for a handup instead.  Any assistance that you can offer me will be much appreciated.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Help Me Please!

I have only about $10,000.00 but is has caused me so many problems. I blame no one but myself for getting into it but I would be forever grateful to anyone that can help me. Even if it is only help paying off one credit card which only has about $2000.00 left on it before its paid off. I have two credit cards that are near the limit. If or when I do get out of debt I will never touch a credit card again. Being in the situation that I am I am scared to death to use a credit card. When I do get out of debt I am going to put safeguards in place to make sure something like this never  happens again. I regret ever getting my first credit card. Before I go any further let me  tell you how I came into this situation. I first started to really acquire debt in November of 2006 and the last time I ever used credit was in May of 2007. It was mostly for little stuff here and there. Stuff I pretty much regret ever getting. It has ruined my  life I was diagnosed with clinical depression about a year ago. It tends to come and go but with my current situation it has been hard to deal with. It seems hard to deal with because my life isn't mine anymore. I try to be positive but it is getting harder and harder to do. I want to be able to go to school, get married and have a family but the way things are looking right now I don't feel it will happen. I have lost too much sleep because of my debt is all I ever think about I have not been able to eat because I feel guilty when I do. I cannot get family to help me or else I would no be asking I am desperately looking for as much help as much help as I can get. If anyone reading this can help me, I ask of you, please help. Please help me as much as you are able. I will, again, be forever grateful to anyone that can help me. I would not be asking for help if I felt I could do it myself. Please help me in anyway you can.
