Hello fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ,


So I am in need of advice/help. It is time I lay straight what is going on in my life. Yes, as you all know, the car accident put a huge dent in my post-college career, but I have come to realize a bigger picture: a car can be replaced. What cannot be replaced is the trust and safety of my living situation: emotionally and verbally abusive alcoholic stepdad (yes, even goes to AA meetings but still comes home and makes me feel endangered,) and a mom who only makes so much (I think $13/hr?) working in the medical field. I can no longer put my burden of troublesome employment hunting on her. It is time I did the right thing and try to move out.

I have several job prospects who want to interview me in person, but they are in another state, 6 hours from me. I have tried applying everywhere around where I live, but no one is hiring me. The opportunity has dwindled. Most everything around here is healthcare; every fast food and retail position to which I have applied as turned me down. My resume is great, but I am beginning to think that they see me as too good, which honestly hurts, because I have come through so much to get where I am today. I see the value in every job. Yet, I am turned down everywhere. Don’t even have a criminal background. Walk the way I talk; put everyone before my own, even donate money to those less fortunate when I am almost broke. I am unemployed, only $100 to my name, have a phone payment coming up soon, live in an environment where my stepdad goes on these “alcoholic binges,” and my mom works in healthcare and makes somewhat very little. I feel bad for the stress I have placed on them. They understand my stress in trying to find even a job in fast food or retail, but do not understand why places are not hiring me. The positions located in the city 6 hours away are good paying and the city has a lot of opportunity. After my talks today, a few companies sound pretty set on hiring me if I can move to the city, first. I am only applying to jobs in this city because it is near where I went to school.


What I need is advice, maybe assistance, on a $5000 loan, to get out of here, before this stress takes a bigger toll on my mom and stepdad. I know this is embarrassing to request, but, after my stepdad’s alcoholic binge outrage tonight, I have officially come to the realization I no longer feel comfortable staying in my own house, and just want to accept the opportunities that await me 6 hours away. I can no longer endure this emotional and verbal abuse, and being overseen on every opportunity. I will pay this loan off ASAP, as I know at least two employers are most likely (95%) giving me an offer. They just have to interview me in person, per company policy. Makes things a tad rough. The loan will cover: first and last month rent, security deposit, 5 extra months of rent, and food, utilities, and unforeseen expenses (higher bills in winter, and other cost associated with living.) I say 5 extra months because I know the landlord and roommate(s) will want me to establish financial and job search and obtainment commitment. My resume is very good though, and a recruiting agency could even help in the city where I desire to relocate. I am going to find roommates seeking a replacement for someone in their place, whether I find that person on Craigslist or Reddit. I have this venture planned, just need the loan. I have a repayment plan in place, and will discuss if you or someone/a company you know that is willing to help.


If anyone is able to provide advice of some sorts on how to go about getting a $5000 loan, please do. I have prayed deeply and meaningfully every day, for the past 3 months, and am surprised I have made it this far with an abusive alcoholic stepdad and putting financial stress on my mother. As a recent college grad with upcoming student loan payments, it would only make matters worse to continue living here. Anyway, any advice is much appreciated, as well as any sources to sites that might be able to lend me a loan based on my situation. I hate doing this, this is my last resort, and I have admitted fully to God that I am weak and can no longer do this on my own. I hope you, my Brothers and Sisters in Christ, can provide the right direction in getting through this. God Bless you all, and I truly hope God continues to work miracles in the lives of you and many.

If you are able to help, I can link you my social media so you know this is legit and that I am real and actually in need of help ASAP!

If you wait until you have a job, ... you won't need $5,000 to get started. Maybe, only $1,000 or less. Consider a GoFundMe campaign to raise these initial funds.

I'll be praying for you in the meantime ...

There is almost nothing here, and I am stuck in a tight situation. Very emotionally abusive environment, at the moment. I have never experienced an abusive alcoholic and this is getting scary.

I agree with A Thinker that you don't need that much money to relocate. I understand you would feel much safer and secured with the amount of $5000 but I really think you can do it for a lot less. If I had a job guarentee and really wanted to move there, I would get myself to the area, get a P.O box with a local address. Find the cheapest motel in the area (about $40 a night $280 a week). Start the job, after one month look for a cheap studio apt and work my way up from there. Total moving cost with one month expenses: $1120 for motel, $400 food, $200 gas= $1720 Just a thought but that's just me.

Pray that God will sustain you in your situation until He resources you to make a move. Find some kind of part/full-time work that will help you to save up money for your transition. Take a look at GoFundMe ... I am sure that you will find some through GoFundMe who are willing to help you get started on your journey. We received assistance to send a relative to a distant medical center through GoFundMe.

Present your story there. It is quite compelling.
