OK, I'm really having a tough time on my miserable low paying job.
My rent is due tomorrow and I'm going to be $450 short.
AND, that's only if I don't eat for the next 2 weeks. Then, there's Xmas coming up and I have NO MONEY and my credit card is at MAX>
Not a lot of excuses, just overspending and took some money to visit family during Thanksgiving. I'm really paying for it now and I don't have the credit too get a loan. Also, my landlord is a real bastard! Last time I was late, he gave me a 3 day notice to quit, without any conscience. I don't want to go through that again. Besides $990 / month for a dumpy studio is a rip off, but I can't find anything cheaper in the L.A. Area.
If all my friends would chip in a few dollars, I could make up the difference real quick. If you are not a friend and just want to help out, I will gladly accept any donations from AidPage contributors. If interested in helping out, I can only repay you with thanks and a prayer.

My husband and I are going to lose our home. We have 4 children and one (the last) on the way.

We used to live in a nice house with a hottub and pool and even a SubZero refrigderator until my husband lost his job 2 years ago. We had no money and lost our home a few months afterwards in late 2005. We were homeless for about 18 months living with family temporally until my husband found a steady decent paying job  in early 2007. We saved up and finally got an apartment. We moved in our first home in 18 months on August of 2007. 

 In February 2008 my husband left that job for a better oportunity and that fell apart because they found out he didn't have his GED yet. He tried to go back to the other job but they wouldnt let him back for tha same reason. So he went jobless until his birthday in May. In August 2008 that job laid him off. He went on unemployment and is still unemployeed, but it isnt enough with all the bills and rent and gas etc. We fell behind and currently are about 2 months behind (Nov and Dec rent ) With no money and collections agency's calling and wantiing money all the time. Is there any hope? We live in CT. We are not used to dealing with this and do not want to be homeless again with 4 kids and me pregnant. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks 

Hi I am a single mother of a seven year old little girl and I have found myself in a situation that has left me unable to pay my rent.  I am in between jobs and due to me being without a job the money I had saved is gone. I start a new job this week, but will not get paid right away. I have asked everyone I could think of to borrow the money, but haven't had any luck. I could go into my health problems, but reality is regardless of me being sick this is still happening and me being sick has nothing to do with it. Yes it might make me feel worse because I am told by my doctor to try and not stress, but how am I suppose to do that in this situation??

 Please if there is anyone who can help, please know if I had the money to help someone in need, I would. I am a good person who helps anyone and everyone. I have never needed help before this and I have found out the people who I thought were my friends that I have loaned money to or whatever they needed are really not my friends. I do not expect hand outs and will pay it back. I just don't know what else to do. I do not have family I can go to. I am embarrassed to put all my business out in the open, but I have to think about my daughter. She is really smart and knows what is going on. She is scared and her imagination is vivid. Please help us.  The amount I am short is $1000.00   Thank you

Can this possibly be happening to me? I am well-educated, and have always worked hard. I need help to prevent a real crisis- I am terrified we will become homeless. Needing a career change, I recently went back to school to get a teacher credential. We knew it wouldn't be easy - reducing our resources to one income, plus mega-$$$'s to pay for school, but when the economy began to deteriorate, there were times I thought we'd never make it. I won 2 scholarships my last semester, which helped, but, by then, my husband's work [construction] began to dwindle. Before going to school, I researched the teaching profession; All surveys predicted a strong need for teachers for many years to come, and by this time, I had fallen in love with teaching and all the kids....so, we just hung in there for the final stretch, and we did it. I got my credential in July. It was a landmark without celebration, because my husband has now been out of work for a few months and I am looking hard every day for a summer job, plus a teaching job for the fall and have been unsuccessful so far, but I am hopeful. I have many assets, good grades, and sizzling recommendation letters, so I know I will get a job eventually, but we have an immediate crisis. We haven't paid rent for July and I am afraid our landlord will ask us to leave. He has been so kind and understanding as I struggled through school, but we were already behind and now we are more behind. This shouldn't be happening. I thought I was doing a good thing, but now I feel like I have ruined our lives. Is there anyone who can give us a loan or grant money? Thanks ever so much.

im a single mother of two young boys! i was working two jobs to make ends meet im now only working 1 and not making ends meet! i don't like to ask for help but in this case i have to before i lose my home for my boys there all ive got! there every thing to me and im trying to find a nother job so i don't have to ask for help but please i truly need help now!

Need help with rent. Rent is $1025, I have $600 of it and no way to generate rest by 4/1. Please help.

This is a really hard thing for me to do.  I'm a single mother of 2 boys ages 14 and 12.  I'm very independent and have a really hard time asking for help.  Recently I accepted a job in the hopes of making a better life for my kids and myself.  We have struggled so much over the years, but I finally got the opportunity to do a job that I love and make really good money doing it.  The only catch was that I had to move 1300 miles away from my family and friends.  I left a pretty secure job that I had been at for almost 9 years.  It really was a scary move.  After working in the job for 2 months I was let go because of a stupid mistake that I made over seven years ago.  It's a mistake that I take full responsiblity for in a desperate moment.  I did everything the courts asked me to do, paid fines, did community service, took some classes - but now 7 years later it's coming back to haunt me. 

So, here I am in a state where I know no one, it's just my kids and I.  I've now used all of my savings and my 401K savings to keep us afloat for the past 4 months.  I'm in the process of getting my mistake removed from my criminal record, but that also takes time.  In the mean time, I'm out of money, the bills are due, it's the first of the month and the rent is due.  Can anyone help please. 

I'm not the type of person to just sit back and do nothing, but at this point my hands are really tied because I can't get a job because of my record, I've been trying.  I can't go to my family because no one in my family has money to help me.  What I really need is enough money to cover this months rent, next months rent and a trip to Oregon to go to court at the end of this month to have my record cleared.  Once it's cleared I will have no problem getting a job. 

If anyone can help at all - I would be so greatful.  I don't want to have to disrupt my kids lives again, and at this point I really can't afford to move back to Oregon.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and help if you can.
