Hi

My name is Rob.
I live in England with my wife and four young children. Please take the
time to read my short story.
I will tell you now that this IS a begging letter. I have swallowed my
pride to write this letter and I am a proud man and this really hurts to do
this.Desperation has forced this upon me, I do not have anywhere else to
turn for help. I work hard, have 2 jobs that take up 16 hours a day,
sometimes 20, and yet debts are still stripping all our income and leaving
us �600 deeper into the red every month. All this happened because of me
trying to make a nice home for my family. Our home is shorlty going to be
taken from us unless I can find a way of paying off some of the arrears we
have on it. I have borrowed all I can just to keep going and cannot borrow
anymore, no one will lend to us anymore. I do not blame them either, we
simply do not have the income to cover all the loans and credit card
payments anymore.

I know that once the house goes, the family will be split up. The children
will most likely go into care because we cannot provide for them. My wife
and I very rarely see each other due to us both working very long hours,
and when we do we row or cry all the time because of this desperate
situation. We have enquired about bancruptcy, it will still leave us living
apart and in squallouralmost certainly never to be reunited or happy again.
I am thirtysix years old and am looking at spending the rest of my life in
total misery because of this.
All we need is a few hundred pounds to pay off some of the debts and give
us a foothold on the ladder to financial recovery. We ar not lazy or
looking for easy money, just desperate and can see no way out of this mess.
The address I give at the end of this letter is my own home address, I know
that I will probably get into trouble for doing this, I don't know what the
law is regarding begging over the internet, but I can't think of anything
else to do. Please try and find it in your hearts to help us, either
financially or with any advice you may have. I will try and respond
personally where I can.

Yours 

F R Stockdale
