Hi giggles,
I’m so very sorry that you are having hard times. Hang in there and keep the faith that things will get better. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers thru this tough time.
I can give you a $100 that you don’t have to pay back so please let me know the best way to get it to you. PM me the details. I know that this was a hard post to make, but that is why we have friends! I’m sure that a lot of us have been there at one time in our life.
I wish I could do more, but like you I have family members that seem to have a string of bad luck that I’m trying to help, but check with me next month k?

chris,
i didn’t want to offend my friends, or have them think i was trying to use our friendship, i would hate it if anyone thought that. Yes it was very hard, but i am beyond shame right now, sad to say, i can’t wait for this economy to turn around so we can live again, and enjoy life.
thank you for being a friend.

I am so glad that you made that point casinobonusguy, I made a rule long time ago to not expect money back that I give out because that way the friendship will never be ruined and you will get it back in other ways.
As an example, I recently had a person placed in my life that gave me access to something that I’ve been in need of (but did not know it) for some time that has nothing to do with money, but is extremely valuable to me. After that happened the other tools that I needed were brought to my attention that fully completed my need.
My point is that when you sow a seed don’t expect it back from that person because your harvest may be in someone else you have not met yet.
Agreed, no strings attached is the way to go.
I gave a loan one time that was quite a bit of money to me .I was suppose to get a monthly payment back ,after 8 months of no money and it became clear to me the person was not going to pay me back because of poor spending choices .From that day to this i wont give a loan to anyone,I am not a banker and don’t pretend to be one so when anyone ask i only give what i am comfortable to part with.
There are also bad people out there who make it tough for people in bad circumstances.This is a true story just from my own experience.I lived in brampton for 17 years before moving where i live now.When my daughter went to school and i had to take her to the bus stop i came to know a lady who had lived on my street for 9 years yet i had never seen her before.
She didnt look very well off to me and before long she use to come for coffee almost daily.After a while she told me about their hardships etc.You have to remember at that time I was not in the position i am today ,i had mortgage ,car payments and had been off work 5 years raising my daughter.I started taking this lady to the grocery store with me and i bought her groceries every week – i fed the family of 4 for over two years until one day their van broke down.My friend worked for a dealership and I asked him to help them get into a new vehicle and told him they cant afford much.
About 9pm that night my friend called to say the neighbour came in and bought a BRAND NEW dodge caravan with all the toys ,my friend asked me if i was aware they were MORTGAGE FREE and they went and got a mortgage and paid cash for the van.
Apparantly this was a scam they had been running for years ,dressing like hillbillies ,crying poverty yet had their house paid for.I bought her kids new clothes ,shoes , you name it i did for them .I moved 7 years ago and havent seen her since then but probably there is a new sucker living there now supporting themomg, something like that would of broke my heart. and you still help people?
You are someone who i hope in this life time, gets all the goodness and happiness that is due you.
I am sorry to be bringing up these bad memories and i apologize. i would never do anything like that, it makes me sick to the stomach just doing what i have here today, and its so very much needed, and thats the sad part for me and my family, i wish it wasn’t so much needed, we work hard, and are decent people, like all of you, but life has made the past year or so, the hardest time ever for us, and then my son, going to iraq has taken its toll on us, and the worst part of all this for us is,..7 years ago when the country was in good shape, i had a good job, my husband was making great money, and life was enjoyable, we did not save a dime, if we had, maybe we would not be going through what we are now.i hope no one thinks badly of me, and believes me when i say your help has made a world of difference with us , you truely are making it possible to keep us with a roof over our head, and a car to get back and forth to work with, and thats all we ever wanted, but yet could not get. thank you everyone, and please please except my apology for bringing my lifes pain to you all.

I have been taken also, and I have also gotten to where I only give what I can afford to just give.
I like doing random acts of kindness, having been an entrepreneur all my life, I have lost my axx twice and I know what it’s like to be pennyless.
There is no shame in falling on your nose, look at Walt Disney. He was a high school drop out who suffered bankruptcy, risked it all 4 times and suffered repeated financial and business disasters.
You just get up, dust yourself off and look around.
The rest will fall in place.
I have been taken too but I refuse to think there is all evil in this world, there is still good and that is what keeps me thinking positive everyday. I love CAP for this very reason, when one of us is down and in need we all pull together and help.
