Why is your problems more important than others?

Well, maybe they are not. If i see the victims of the tsunami for example, they need help much more than i do. For most people my problems may seem "peanuts" and exactly that is why i am asking for help. There must be people around here that are willing and able to help me. I am not asking for large amounts of money. I would be happy if you simply decide to buy one pack of cigarettes less, and give the money to me instead!

I surely am not asking people to send me money instead of to other good causes!

Why don't you just get a job?

Trust me, i would really love to get a job if it was possible! I am surely not lazy! However, i have a son who needs special care. I can not leave him alone at home when i would be working. If i hire someone to watch for my son it would cost me more than i would make with working. Because he needs special care i can not ask just anybody to watch him, which makes it more expensive.

Will your problems really be solved if people send you money?

Yes! My problems are mostly financial. All the other things in life i can handle. It is not that i am just spending too much money. I do not have a car, i do not want much luxery. I do not go out, i do not drink or have other expensive hobbies. All i need is to be lifted out of this financial problems, and i can take it from there.

How did you get into these problems in the first place?

I have been living with a minimum income ever since i am a single mother. I have been coping rather well, and i am proud of that. However it is very hard to replace things when they are broken. I am speaking of things i really need, like a washing machine. Because i could not afford to buy that i had to get in dept. Unfortunately i did not realize that when you are in dept the problems only get bigger and bigger, to a point where i don't see how i can get out of them on my own.

Why don't you ask family or friends, why get online?

Because i am a single mother with a "special child" i do not go out much. I do not really have a social life, so i also do not have friends to turn to. My family have their own problems, and i do not want to go to them.

One day on the internet i saw this page with someon threatening to kill and eat his pet bunny if people didn't donate money. I was shocked! Although i would NEVER do such a thing, i realized that i do need help, and the internet might be my answer. There must be some people around willing to help someone in need....

Why don't you add pictures or more information about your family?

I would like to stay as anonymous as i possibly could. My children are already "different" from other children in their school. They don't have the coolest cloths or other things, and they get teased because of that. If i show myself or my children online it might create more sympathy, but if people at my childrens school or in my neighbourhood see this, it may also create more problems for them. And before all, i want to protect my children from that!
