I am desperate

Dear Barry
I hate feeling sorry for myself or having to rely on others, but I am resorting to both because I am desperate. I lost my job 7 years ago after injuring my back, and still suffer pain 24/7. Nobody will help me retrain or give me a job, and I have had to scrape by on benefit hand-outs for 7 years.
Now the silliest thing it may seem, but I have been unable to afford proper dental care - only given very basic treatment on the state - and as a result have lost two teeth already. Now I am faced with losing a third because i was not given proper advice by a dentist who seems to want only to extract teeth.
The difference this time is it's a front tooth that will leave a gaping hole in my already diminished smile, and I know it's going to seriously affect my confidence, which is already at an all-time low. I think I will become so afraid to talk to people that I will just fade away. Some might call it vanity but to me it's a big deal right now.
The only option open to me is an implant or bridge, both of which are priced in the high hundreds or even thousands. I can't get a loan as i am already in debt, and any day now the balliffs are likely to call and remove what's left of my possessions. I'm not asking for charity, but will not refuse it. I am asking for a loan that does not have to be paid back in a hurry - a few dolalrs a month perhaps?
Please don't think me silly, this is a big worry for me on top of everything else. I want to have some chance of regaining my life, and to have a normal mouth would help more than you could imagine. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

| Question for Barry

This really isn't a "beg", I have already sent you an email telling you about myself.
But, I do have a question. Barry, why is your life so bad? I know that you said it was shallow, and all that, but why? Is it because of the money you have? Do you feel that people only pretend to care about you in the hopes they will get some of it? I'm just very curious....Not one person here has been concerned with the fact that you are telling us that your life is NOT good. I know that money can't buy happiness, not the kind that you seem to be lacking, but Barry, without it, you honestly cannot be happy. If you don't have enough money for decent food, transportation, healthcare etc. I don't care who you are, you cannot be happy.
I personally would LOVE to have money, not be filthy rich, but to have enough to be secure, and healthy, to be able to relax once in awhile and enjoy my life before it's over!
If you want to help people, that's great, but I don't think you should give ALL of it away Barry. I think instead you should try to look inside and find out why you are so sad, and work on that. You don't have to let people know how much you have, if that's the problem......
Anyway, I haven't seen any signs that you have replied to anyone here in all of the time this site has been up, but just incase you really ARE out there I just wanted to say these things.

i am a 21 year old currently living in Portland, Oregon. My hope is to move to Bend, OR before the end of the summer so I can start school at OSU cascades in their Outdoor Recreational Tourism Leadership program. Once I'm there my parents have agreed to help me with schooling but there is no way I can afford to save the $1000+ it will cost me in deposits and moving expenses to relocate. I work full time to support myself so it is not an issue of laziness. This is my biggest dream and I just need help making it happen. Anything you might be willing to donate would be very much appreciated... Every little bit helps.

| I am living in debt

I am in dire need of help. I started to go to school and found that I was not able to pay for it. I took out student loans.
Right now I am working a full time job that barely pays me. My car broke down a few months ago and make it to work on foot. I live in a rural area where there is no public transporation.
I owe federal and state taxes, as well as other state funds.
My credit is extremely bad due to my identity being stolen.
In all am about $40k in debt and still I have not been able to get myself out with a full time job, and other odd and end jobs I do on my days off.
My family has tried to help but their small contributions are not making any dents in my debt payments.
Please help me get my car fixed and pay my major debt so that I can live peacefully.

| Abolish No Fault Divoce

I want to be rescued. I am out of ideas and money. A bad lawyer coerced me into taking a deal to loose my children, my house and a large portion of my income. By August I will completely broke.
My only crime is that I am a nice male. My wife was seeing another man 3 years ago, blamed me for cheating (which has never happened even to this day) and managed with the help of an unscrupulous lawyer and friends has destroyed all I have worked for 50 years. My current lawyer is helping but doesn't seem to be concerned that I am going completely broke. Our 3 boys have no choice nor are they allowed to know the truth by law. Dr Phil has offered to help twice but because she refuses he dropped me. It amazes me that he can not help.
This is how stupid I am. I still want to be a family.
I am trying very hard to be positive but I am losing my mind.
I know you want to help. I want your help.
I need better legal help or a way to pay for it. I will lobby for better divorce reform as a payback. I do not want this to ever happen again to my 3 boys or yours.
Thank you for any help you can give in this matter. The money can go directly to my lawyer to prove my sincerity.
Mike

| Worth A Shot

Dear Barry,
What is is that you look for? What catches your eye? Is it a desperate letter, a sick or dying person? Maybe a good laugh. I am not sure what it is that makes you decide to do what it is that you do when you give away your fortune, but I am giving it a try. In a nut shell I have a job I am not poor and for sure not rich. I have a couple of nickels to rub together :) But not to many! My begging starts here: I work for everything I have and try to do the right thing. I have a pregnant girlfriend who I LOVE to death. I have a baby boy coming here in the next few weeks. I am excited to say the least. But my issue is she is missing that one special piece of jewelry. Thats right "THE RING" I probably could go and get something cheesy from walmart or Burdines, But I tried to get a credit line at the jewelry store last week for $8500.00 they said sure no problem and than ran me through two banks and I got denied. I don't have Bad credit. But I do have a few medical bills that I wasn't aware of and even if I pay them off they still lower my score for the first few months. Strange I pay all my bills on time and have a mortgage and I cannot get a credit line for a ring. Go figure. Anyways here is my BEG. Barry you would be a Hero if you could bring some sunshine on this situation!!! I would love to get her a ring where her friends stare at and say "WOW" she deserves it she has put up with me for 5 years!!! i get her presents all of the time i love buying her little gifts, she's worth every penny I spend. But because of the Baby expenses and me owing taxes this year. I cannot do what was planned. Well there it is not that life threatning but it's honest and like I said "Worth A Shot" Your a different character but if you do really help people out your a Damn good guy in my book!!!

This is very hard for me, but I keep running into brick walls where-ever I go. My family has had a very hard 9 months. I have lost 4 close family members, one being my grandson. I have a funeral bill that I am trying to pay. On top of that, my son and daughter totaled both of our vehicles within 3 months of each other. My daughter reveals to me in January that she is pregnant. The baby is due is August. We desperately ned to build on a room for the baby. We have 3 children at home and a 3 bed room house. My husbands work has been slow, and we are 3 months behind in our credit card payments. If you could loan or give me $6000.00, it would pay off the funeral and bring everything up to date for me. I work full time and I have went back to school to finish my teaching degree, so money is extremely tight. Any help you could give would be appreciated. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

I am a 41 year old single mother raising two sons on her own. My boys are 12 and 16 years old. I have had a very difficult past two years. It all started when I no longer received my child support due to my ex-husband being unemployed. My 1992 paid off car was then totaled due to a drunk driver hitting me. This caused me to have car payments again and high insurance rates. This past year I also broke my foot. It is very hard for me to ask for help. I have never had to ask for financial help before. I make to much for any type of state or local asstistance but yet I am paycheck to paycheck. I work 40 hours a week but I have been so behind on bills that I am always paying last months bills this month. I then am also paying late charges and extention fees. This doesn't include harrassing calls from creditors. I have also been paying my rent a month behind that at any time I am scarred that I will be asked to leave by my landlord.
I am also desoeratley needing to replace all four tires on my car. The wire is showing and I am afraid I will have a blow out at anytime. I just don't have the money to spare on tires. I am consered for my kids safety
I have never asked for any type of financial assistance that is why this is so hard for me. I can't remember the last time I slept well because of the stress I have been under. Please if there is any one that can help me out of the kindness of their heart my kids and I would be so appreciative. God Bless You
