I got hurt on my last job and was on temp disability for awhile (which didn't pay anywhere close to what I was making).Needless to say, me trying to get my leg squared away left us in a big financial hole. So I said teh heck with my leg an dwent and got an office job which I just started. I get paid on next friday but everything was due last week and now I'm about to lose my car, my washer and dryer, and I've already lost my phone. I'm a man of great pride and would never as anything unless I REALLY needed it.I I have asked my family, every local charity and several churches in my town. Either they can't help me (no funds) or I have to apply for assistance or be on a waiting list. I need help now and I've exhausted every resource I know. PLEASE I don't need smart alleck remarks or advice on what I "should have" done. I need help before I'm put into a further hole. I've talked to everybody that I owe money too and they're all saying "sorry about your luck."They need payment now.

let's face it, you are in a pickle...you have to make some decisions. it sounds like you might have waited too long to figure this out. i know this sounds harsh but sometimes you have to hit rock bottom in order to appreciate what you have. it sounds like you need to realize that you are not going to get to keep all you HAD. something will get lost in this situation since you have no other financial resources to help you.
pick your priorities....
find a friend or parent that will store your stuff in their garage/basement for a couple months. see if you can stay with parents or friends for a bit. that will give you time to make that car payment and whatever else you have before they take it away from you. they for sure don't want the stuff back, they would rather have the money.
on the other hand, what is most important to you? figure out what that is and pawn a few things to pay for the most important things.

' Its not what happens to you, its what you do about it' Been there. I am unsure what you should do about your car, perhaps try to arrange small payments. Most places will not refuse you, explaining your situation. It shows you are not running. You have good intentions, and if you just need another week to be able to make a payment, I cannot see why they would refuse that? I did this myself, and the companies were willing to work it out. If they are creditors, they must accept what you can afford to pay. At least in the country where I live.

Walk into your local Social Security office and apply for food stamps. The money you save by using food stamps can be used towards your bills. Also, consider moving into a nearby Y.M.C.A. temporarily. The Y.M.C.A. provides rooms at a very low cost to struggling young men such as yourself, on a temporary basis. You may want to try staying there for a month while you get back on your feet.

I sympathize with you. It seems you have a family and it's not that easy to overcome financial burdens such as these. My son is even IN a worse situation. The sad part is, we can't even begin to help him. I wish I knew what to tell you but I can't even give answers to my son. I hope you find your way again. You may have to start from scratch and start all over again. Good luck and God bless you...I care.

It looks like for one week you will have to do without your car and your washer and dryer. Try pawning something like your computer or tv or something to raise a bit of money.
Call everyone back and give them a chance to change their minds. But no, I won't give you any money, sorry.
