There are many people who are truly disabled and can not work and plagued with health issues, who fall through the cracks of a broken system and can not get the help they need, and find their selves homeless one day if they do not get help in time. I may end up being one of those, I agree people should not be begging for money to pay off debts for credit cards and vacations and thing people like me only dream of. If some one is in real need for asistance to prevent them from losing their home or to get food for their family, or needed medical help there is nothing wrong with them asking. You have not because you ask not, The sad thing is the people asking who really don,t have anything are being attacked not only by spammers but by people that are greedy and jealous that they had the guts to ask for what they need instead of fading away into the back ground. Shame on you who thinks its wrong to ask for help but I bet if you find yourself about to become homeless you will be asking for help any where you can find to do so. Until you have lived in someone elses shoes don,t judge them for their actions but yourself for your own. God said to help the poor and the widowed. Don,t judge others for their faults and mistakes when you have a clset full of your own.

I am a 65 year old Honorably Discharged Vietnam Era Veteran and recent bladder cancer survivor. We have one car between us (my partner is 60 who had to quit her job as a Certified Nursing Assistant due to health issues). We have a 1997 Olds with 209,000+ miles on it that is on its last leg. A running car or help with some money to purchase one would be a real blessing. I am on Social Security and actively looking for work. Thank you for listening.

Hey, not all cyber beggers or those who attempt it are really at fault for their debt. I am behind in bills really through no fault of my own well save the I panicked and got in worse, payday loan ewwww, had my hours cut back to nothing, kicked butt found a new job, but I had to have new glasses (driving job) in a hurry, a dot physical, new steel toed boots, and a cdl permit the state offered assistance till they found out I wasn’t unemployed, they counted my 3 days a month as still employed. I was before living from pay check to pay check spent my savings on an amazingly cheep house. I am trying cyber begging, hoping it works, I am a divorced single mom, ex stay at home mom so my credit and work history limits my loan options. I don’t qualify for welfare, the da can’t even make my ex keep up on his support, limited social interaction coming from a controlling relationship so no real social contacts to ask. where else to go but the internet. Not going to pay a site to beg on I am broke, if I had the money I would be paying my bills not begging on the net

The bottom line is i think most ppl hate begging but whats a person to do?? when uve been dealt a bad hand? nothing but try to survive the best u can and do whats right for your family .. your a working class citizen so u dont qualify for the “conventional” way of asking for help.. welfare… foodstamps liheap or other stuff ..”your poor but not poor enough” so u may need help to ask for money to pay bills or just keep your head above water i 4 one believe in helping ppl that help them selves the ones that work but are still sinking .. not the ones who dont ..they get welfare but still manage to have cash for drugs and a good time ..but claim they cant work becuase of some everyday ailment most working class folks suffer though but still manage to get off thier asses to go to work and try….if u are going thru a hard time like the millions of amrican who are struggling help them…not the ones who just want to have everything handed to them …what else is there???

I hate begging, but I will do whatever I have to do to keep my bills paid. My husband cannot work due to numerous strokes and is paralyzed and unable to speak. I myself am disabled due to back injuries and surgeries that have left me in constant pain and unable to work as well. I do get a small allotment each month, but without my husband’s income, it isnt enough to pay the rent and utilities and buy food. He hasn’t been approved for disability yet, but he has a hearing in June. In the meantime, we just need a little help paying bills. Not permanent help, just a hand up in this tough time. Thanks and God Bless whoever sees this.

With times being really bad these type of sites are popping up daily. That does lead to the problem of . assuring that the site you are possibly going to donate to is legit. If you’re not sure, see if there is a way to contact the one asking for further info on their plight.

Now, as far as the name, Cyber Begging is concerned. I much prefer it be called: “Internet Community Financial Assistance.”
Has a much better ring to it and doesn’t degrade those of us that are in truly in need of asking the Cyber Community.

I think there is no harm to ask for money online when you are in need. But I don’t think paying for a page on some site catering to that is a good idea because they probably are the ones making money not you. Instead why not create your own site that also has useful tips that could be helpful to others (as well as yourself) which addresses money/debt issues. This way if someone helps you, they feel they are getting something in return.

hi! i read your blog because i posted an ad on a cyber begging site and was researching, worried i might get scammed. i think it sucks when people ruin stuff for others,i think now a days anyone will take advantage of anyone else no matter what the situation is. who would scam for donations, i dont understand that. personally i am a mom of 3 actually in need of help to make a long story short i cant find a job to save my life and my husband doesnt make much, and my abusive junkie for an ex husband wont pay his child support.. scammers suck, but heres my take on it. if i walk out of the grocerie store with a couple dollar bills in change and see someone holding a cardboard sign i usually give them my change.. and ya know what for all i know they go home to a mansion and have half a million in the bank but the way i see it i did my part, if they go spend that money on beer or drugs or they didnt even really need it it doesnt really matter to me because i know in my heart that i made an effort to help someone in need the rest is between the other person and God if you ask me. i just wish people wouldnt scam for donations like that because i think if there were fewer scammers more people in real need would get back on their feet alot faster.. so scammers need to move over and let people with kind hearts actually help those who actually need help!

thanks for listening!
