Hello, I am requesting help with a car repair. I am between jobs and live in my car. The repair is $150 with parts and labor (radiator issue with hose) and antifreeze. 

I will be able to do DoorDash after to pay it forward and then have time (due to not having to take public transportation) to go to better job interviews. 

Thank you for your consideration. 

I live in Davenport, FL with my spouse and our three children. After a car accident and two back surgeries, I lost my income and our only vehicle. We are behind on our County Utilities water bill, and without help, our service may be disconnected. A NetWish grant of $200 would help us keep our water on and provide a safe, stable home for our children while I recover and work to rebuild our income.

Hello, and thank you for reading my story.  This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, as I am the one who helps everyone else.  I don’t know how to ask for help, how to accept help, and the shame and embarrassment of having to ask for help and swallowing my pride is a huge pill to swallow.  But here I find myself with no other options, nowhere else to turn.

I ran a very small company called, Tanya, HELP!”.  The name came without much thought…that’s what I do.  I help people.  It started when the pandemic hit and I lost my job.  I needed work desperately and answered an ad for hanging wallpaper in a nursery.  In 3 days I decided to go into business, picked the name immediately, and within one year I was remodeling/renovating/re-plumbing entire homes, from foundation to roofs and everything in between.  I build beautiful fences and decks and more.  Appliance repair, electronics set-ups such as computer systems and home theaters, junk hauling, organizing, yard/estate sales, cleaning homes, boats, RV’s, servicing RV’s, you name it,  if they could think of it I would get it done.  I can even work on cars and truck now. I also helped people who could not afford home, appliance, or other repairs due to low income, fixed incomes, senior citizens, disabled; anyone in need.  I believe everyone deserves to live in a clean, functioning, safe place.  I have mended roofs, replaced subfloors and flooring, fixed appliances, made dog ramps for senior dogs.  I ask the community and local hardware stores to donate materials.  I have done many jobs for $10 for gas and a sandwich because that’s all they could afford but insisted on giving something.  

Last year, my mother’s lung cancer returned with a vengeance. Before we knew it, she was at stage 4 but she had multiple other issues too.  I had to leave my home and my 2 rescue dogs and my business behind to go be the sole full-time caregiver for her,  and over the next few months helped her do everything from getting out of bed to putting her back in bed at night. I did all the cleaning, feeding, bathing, shopping, laundry, medications, and lots and lots of love while watching my best friend in the whole world dying.  The doctor gave her 6 months. She made it 2 more weeks.  

During that time, my 17 year old daughter had gotten something slipped to her at a graduation party and she never recovered.  I had to commit her to a mental hospital twice and she was then in a vegetative state and I was afraid I was losing my baby girl forever; before her life ever started (a year later and she is fine now, thank you Jesus).  

Hurricane Beryl hit while I was caring for Mom.  I had $30k in fence work to go do.  I had to tell my clients I couldn’t.  I estimate another $100k+ in sales was very easily attainable,which would help me invest in my company, get a better truck so I’m not embarrassed to pull up in front of a client’s home, and put money away.  I couldn’t leave my mom.

My home suffered damage I was unaware of which worsened while I was gone.  I had no insurance and FEMA would not help.  The state would not compensate me to care for my mother when I know several people who have all kinds of help.  THey said my mom didn;’ need the help but she couldn’t get up, dress, bathe, cook, feed herself, anything.  She died while I was preparing my appeal.

I took care of myself and my bills but wasn’t rich by any means.  Not working for those months caused all my bills to get behind.  My electricity and water are off; I am 7 months behind on my rent and my landlord has been more than fair but I have to move if I can ‘t catch up this month.  I have nowhere to go and take the 37’ 5th wheel that is my home.  I have no one left to help me, my family is all gone besides my daughters; one is 28 with 2 small children, the other just turned 18.  I hate to let them see me like this when I should be stable for them.

I went into a deep deep depression after mom died, I lost my business, my utilities are off, my truck is barely running, my teeth are falling out due to stress, I have ulcers and severe digestive issues, and arthritis.  

I know how to pull myself out of this but I need a hand up desperately.  I can go to work for Intuit doing accounting and tax specialist if I can attend their free INtuit University online but I have no desktop or stable internet access.  This is the job I want to do until I retire, and I will have a good, steady income, not like unstable (but doable) when I was self-employed.  

Oh, I didn’t mention yet that my 4 year old rescue staffie who doesn’t leave my side and is my uncertified but nonetheless my emotional support dog has heartworms and I cannot afford proper treatment.  I cannot even afford the follow up visit (over $200 for re-testing).

IF you could find it in your heart to give me a hand up so I don’t become homeless and lose my dog and go completely under living on the streets, I would be more grateful than you would ever know, and I would be forever indebted to you for saving my life. This is what I need, specifically.   

Heartworm treatment                 $2500 or $250

Dentures (so I can get a job and not hide anymore)        $3200

Back rent        $2500

Lights and water back on         $3000

Desktop/ internet        $  800

Home repair materials        $  500

Truck repairs                                                                                  $ 500

TOTAL        $13,000 or $10,750

I will provide receipts for every penny or provide info for direct payments from you. I don’t need to touch it. If it is sent and I send receipts, I will also return every penny that is not spent (it’s all accounted for though).    I promise to pay it forward forever, and keep on being “Tanya, HELP!” because that is truly my passion, in my spare time when I am not working for Intuit.  I will even gladly go on a payment plan once I am back to work and pay back every penny. I will give you the title to my 5th wheel and my truck.  I am in desperate and dire need.  I can fix my life and continue being a productive member of society and even go see my 2 grandbabies that don’t know who I am; or I can be evicted, have nowhere to put my 5th wheel, I will lose my home and be homeless with no possible way to get back up.  I am begging for your kindness to help me get back on track so I can keep on helping other people too.

I would love to start a non-profit with Tanya, HELP!  And really help others if you have any interest in something like that where I can make a difference on a much larger scale.

 I didn’t ask for any of this.  None of it is my doing.  I believe it’s Satan trying to change my heart.  It won’t work.  My life theme seems to be “No good deed goes unpunished.”  The harder I try and push forward the further and harder I get kicked back.

Please help me get back on track and save my boy, and continue to help others which is my calling and passion.

Thank you so much,

Tanya

Hello,

I’m writing this during one of the hardest chapters of my life. I’ve been diagnosed with Stage IIB invasive ductal carcinoma in my left breast—cT2N1M0. It’s a diagnosis that has shaken everything. The physical toll is immense, but the emotional and financial weight is just as heavy.

I’ve lost my job and my healthcare. My car insurance is about to lapse, and my medications—essential for my treatment—are painfully expensive. My monthly bills run about $3,000, and that doesn’t even include food. I’m falling behind, and the stress of trying to survive while fighting cancer is overwhelming.

I’m not someone who gives up easily. I’ve always tried to handle things on my own, but this is more than I can manage alone. Cancer doesn’t pause for bills, and mine are piling up. It’s a reality that’s reshaped every corner of my life. the fear, the uncertainty, the exhaustion—is something I carry every single day. I’m not asking for pity. I’m asking for understanding. For compassion. For help. I’m fighting with everything I have. Sincerely, Tonya

Hello to all,

My name is Coujaunia Morris. I’m a single, working mother raising a wonderful 12-year-old daughter who just started 7th grade. I’m also a disabled individual who continues to work full-time, and I’ve proudly held the same position for nearly three years.

I’m writing today because I’m facing a hardship with this month’s rent. In July, I was furloughed for two weeks while my contract with FEMA was pending renewal. That time off was unpaid, and although I’ve worked hard to catch up, I’ve fallen short.

Once I returned to work, I was able to cover part of the rent, but the remaining funds had to go toward essential school supplies and clothing for my daughter, as well as a $350 light bill to prevent disconnection. These were unavoidable expenses, and now I’m left unable to pay the remaining balance of our rent.

Any amount of support would mean so much to us. I’m grateful for your time, your compassion, and any help you can offer during this difficult moment. Thank you for reading my story, and may you be blessed for the kindness you extend to families like mine.

With sincere appreciation,

Coujaunia Morris Houston, TX

1. I am a mother going back to school for the 3rd time. I am hoping I can use this schooling to get ahead on the trail instead behind. I have been paying off my ex husbands debt along with mine from our marriage.  I have always worked but still so far in debt and terrible credit, again.  I need help just to keep afloat.  A life preserver of some sort helps to stay above water where I can breathe for a little while.  
2. I believe this site is an enormous gift to such people as myself and so many others.  THe meer thought of someone doing this is amazing and enlightening. We are blessed to be part of this.

My name is Ebony Simpson, and I am a single mother living in rural Mid-Florida. I am reaching out in faith because my car needs major repairs—estimated at about $6,000—and without it, I cannot get to work or provide for my child. Public transportation is not available in my area, so a working vehicle is truly essential for us.

I also need help covering the cost of tag registration and the first month of insurance so I can legally and safely get back on the road.

I just recently got a substitute teaching job, and while I am truly grateful for this opportunity, the schools are in several counties away. With all honesty, I am broke right now—but I want to make this work so I can support my child and move us toward stability.

The Bible says, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). I am humbly knocking now, praying that God may use your organization as a vessel to help carry this burden (Galatians 6:2).

Thank you so much for your time, understanding, and compassion. I truly believe, as Philippians 4:19 says, that God will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory.

Sincerely,
Ebony Simpson
