This past pay period was really hard. I had to take off a bunch of time due to getting my daughter's health evaluated.

As a result, it left me really short on cash because I don't have vacation or sick days to cover days off. I have $18 to get me through Friday. I have an empty gas tank and an empty lunch account for my daughter, and she's here on a week when she's supposed to be with her dad, and of course he didn't give me anything towards feeding her. I also ran out of Celexa Friday and need $28 to refill it. I can feel the difference already.

I need like $100 at most to help me get through the week.

I don't want to have to ask for help, but I need to. I have a pathetic request.

Not a pathetic request at all ! What IS pathetic is the Father of your child not realizing he is "mooching" - since this is his week to have the kids...... and he calls himself perfect ! HA !

Not a pathetic request at all hon! I pm'd the doc about the fund they said they were gonna set up from the sale of that book. Wish I had it just to give, but I have faith that this forum will come through for you. Good for you for asking for help when needed! It's so hard to do that! I hope it gets worked out! (((((wi fighter)))))

(((((((wi fighter)))))))))) I'm so sorry that you are having a tough time right now! It DOES take alot to ask for help when needed (for most of us anyway), and I applaude you for doing so. If I had it to give, I'd do it in a flat heartbeat! Hang in there! I'm sure someone here will be able to come through for you!

there is nothing pathetic about asking for help.........if anything it shows your maturity and growth to realize you cannot do this all on your own.

hopefully people will be able to point you in the direction of help available.

kindly,

Shirley,

As everyone said, this is not a pethetic request at all. You need help and there is nothing to be ashamed of. I would like to know if there is some type of fund. I could help you out a little.

Doc John? Is there a fund you could set up?

Hugs,

Jen

Hi.

I have been where you are so, so often. Shame on your child's father. His neglectful behaviour is intolerable. I have a pathetic request. I have a pathetic request.

If I could send you something..I surely would. I am tapped out tho myself because of car repair expenses at the moment.

How is your communication with the HEEL? Can you ask him for the money? That is his child too. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Keep us posted on how you are making out!

~Dottie

You guys are awesome!

((((((((((((everyone who's replied))))))))))))

To those who can help right now, your generosity is appreciated beyond belief.

To those who can't, I understand all too well and my heart goes out to you.

I feel like all those times I've dropped some change or a dollar into a fund raising jar, it's coming back to me through everyone in here.

I have a pathetic request. I have a pathetic request. I have a pathetic request.

wi_fi i would send you money, but i am tapped out right now. I have been in your shoes and i have talked to you on and off, read your posts and I would say that you are the last person that this should happen to. I hope the best for you and your family and everything will come back 10 fold.
