recently relocated family in need of Christmas, or any type of help.

I am a recently divorced man with 2 sons that I have custody of. I lost my job and moved from ohio to be near my mother, who is also struggling with disabilities. Would like some help for my boys ages 3 and 7. It would be the first time they will have ever had a good Christmas with family around. Anything would be appreciated as we were unable to bring much with us. They have very few toys, and not very many clothes either.

My family and I have been through alot. We were in the floods back in June 2008 in Iowa. We lost everything. We have moved to Wisconsin trying to get a fresh start. Have had alot of bumps in the road, our oldest daughter has a disability and so does my husband. So I have missed time from work and trying to replace everything we lost. We are sleeping on the floor with blankets, cause we cannot afford beds right now. Anyone willing to help my kids for Christmas I would appreciate alot. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I just totally give up

I'll be danged. Had the two presents, and the dang dog chewed them up.

I can't believe this. I can't stop crying and feel like an anxiety attack is coming on.

I "want" to ditch the dog, but won't...............hate all these stupid crazy thoughts going through my mind. Now here it is 2 days before and I can't do anything.

I don't have any accounts like PayPal that are usable to ask for help, all I have is Obopay. God, why did this year have to be so bad? Can next year be better please??

Can ANYONE help us, please? I do have the Obopay account.

I'll be willing to do a loan. I even looked online for a PayDay loan, but I've heard such horror stories about them, and I don't need another issue to deal with.

Please, someone tell me what I could do now??

How PayPal stole Christmas

Not bad enough the company I worked for, for 10 years downsized, and I was laid off. So while looking for employment, thought I'd EBay my belongings that were in good shape.

Had both my EBay and PayPal accounts for over 3 years. Granted very little activity. Mainly buying off Ebay. 100% positive on Ebay and no complaints, no disputes on PayPal.

Things were going good for a few months. Selling mainly little $3-$5 items, but it at least helped keep us above water. I would divide my day between job applications, resumes, interviews and listing on EBay. I was putting in over 10 hours a day between all that.

Started listing bigger/more expensive items, as I learned the Ebay ways (what seemed to work and what didn't). Had a couple of good sales. Was so releived that little more money was coming in.

I also had ordered the PayPal debit card when I started Ebaying. It was quick to arrive, and just used it to pay for small purchases (mainly at local drug store, quick trip to grocery). Nothing out of the ordinary.

Well, last Friday, I withdrew, from an ATM, a couple hundred dollars. Paid a few bills.

This past Monday evening I went to withdraw about $500.00 to do some Christmas shopping (all the while more money is being put into PayPal due to weekend sales). No can do. Frozen.

Suspious activity? Yeah, that's a good answer!! Because I finally start making money for them, they want to keep it, maybe??

Well, they have helped ruined my Christmas. I literally have no money for Christmas.

During that time, I've set up accounts with a few other places, but of course, being I'm new to them, I'll never get pay outs in time for shopping this weekend. Plus, so many consumers don't want to use other "pay" systems. So my sales have dropped drastically.

They have raked me over the coals, and thanks to them (I should had withdrew what money I had in there out on Friday, but thought all was well).

Can anyone direct me to a way to get mainly Christmas money? Still have a couple of bills due. Would hate to lose electric and water before Christmas.

Thanks
