I'm just going to wank this now so we can all sit back and watch it grown.

In summation: [info]helpthisgirl needs help. And she tells us so.

In my life, I've tried always to be a good person. I'm nice to the elderly, I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't bother anyone and I regularly practice random acts of kindness. That's not to say that I'm a saint, but I try each day to be the best person possible.

I'm currently going to school full time to get a dual MBA. I work full time, had my own apartment, took care of myself and lived a happy life. I met a woman through a friend of mine, and she seemed like a decent enough sort. Not the type that I would be close friends with, but certainly someone to be friendly with. One day, this woman started telling me the most horrifying story. She and her family lived in a horrible apartment with disgusting roommates. The roommates up and decided to leave with no notice, leaving this woman completely stranded. She had nowhere to go and was sobbing about being able to take care of her infant son. Unable to stand seeing such a situation, I invited this woman and her family into my home. I gave them a place to live, helped her husband get a much better job and did whatever I could to help them get back on their feet.

In return for what I saw as the right thing to do, these people have destroyed my apartment, stolen large amounts of money from me, damaged my personal property and tried to harm my pet.

I have found a way to get away from this situation, but because of the havoc they've caused in my life, my finances are strained to the limit.

You're probably asking yourself why I'm telling you this, right? I'm telling you this because I'm fighting my pride down and asking complete strangers for help. I'm asking for charity of a dollar or two. I have never gotten into a situation like this before and I'm desperate to get out of it. Friends and family are helping as much as they can, but I'm still struggling.

So, if you can help, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you can't, thank you for even reading my story. If you don't mind, pass on my story to others. I'm pleading for help from perfect strangers.

Donations can be sent via PayPal to: thisgirlneedshelp@yahoo.com. If anyone wants to contact me, that's also the address to do so at.

Again, thank you for any help that you can offer and for taking the time to read my story.


She then posts this sad plea on a dozen communities. Some more relevant than others.

_dearanyone (a community for open letters to the world)
_gratitudelove (fans of some obscure band)
a_better_place (for good deeds)
be_kind_rewind (for good deeds)
customers_suck (for bitching about work)
dear_customer (for bitching about work)
makeup_fetish (for makeup tips)
maryjanesutopia (for potheads)
metaquotes (for quoting other people's livejournals)

Enjoy teh angst.

ETA: Dammit, she deleted them all before any real fun could start. And then she whined about it:

Good lord. There are a lot of really horrid people in this world.

I've removed the post from the communities that have made it blatantly clear that they hate someone for doing the hardest thing they've ever done. I'm sorry for inspiring such animosity from strangers.


ETA^2: [info]customers_suck is still talking about her.

ETA^3: [info]metaquotes also continues to discuss.
