my name is katie hemsley and i am an unemployeed 20 year old mother of a 6-month old child. my boyfriend and baby's father just finished the last leg of classes at Western Culinary Institute. to graduate he need to go on an externship. we live in beaverton oregon and the extern he got is at harris ranch near coalinga california. due to some unfortunate turns of events all of our savings have been used to pull us out of debt. we were doing okay and had saved a little money when our car took a bit of a crap on us. in short, all the remaining cash went to that. now we are two weeks from when we need to move and are again in debt, overdrawn $650.00 and without any extra money. we need around $7,500.00 to make the move possable, if we don't go, Brad will not recieve his diploma. i am also trying to become a realator, so that i can continue to stay with my child but also make a good living while i go to college, (as soon as i can afford it). for that i need $800.00. any help would be very appreciated. thank you.
i am a young but extreamly happy mother of a beautiful child. i have a wonderful boyfriend who i hope to marry one day. i have worked since i was 12 years old, ranging from food service to care giving. i have worked hard and had enough money saved to make this possable without help, but unfortunatly we cant always depend on those we want to, including but not limited to roommates. some finantial issues arose after our roomie decided to leave 3 months before our lease was up and most of the bill checks from this person bounced, causing ours to bounce as well. we were able to pay our way out with the money we had, but now we have less than nothing and zero income. in any other situation we would stay here, but he will have wasted a $30,000 education due to no externship, missed an opportunity at the number five resturaunt in california, and lost maybe the only chance to make the life for us that he has worked so hard for. there for putting a major block in the road to us become the successful people we know we can be. please consider this an investment instead of a hand-out. no matter what happens i know we can make a positive contribution, we just need someone to believe in us.
