Hello everyone, this is something I have been considering doing for a decent time now I just well... I hate asking for money. That being said, I am having to suck up my pride and do it anyways. I know their have been alot of fakes and scammers in the past who make go fund me's and they want to use it for some bullshit Xbox or computer or just simply some fake story about an injuried dog (yes, all of these have been posted on this website). Ya, screw that. My reasoning behind making this post and a GoFundMe account is legitimate, sure their are people out their with worse situations then mine and I understand that. I also understand if anyone thinks this is just some fake story made up by some 12 year old kid. That being said, I will try to prove what little I can.
First off, I have been quiet an active member in the past so I hope my reputation will at least hold some ground here too prove I am who I say am and my story is legit.
Second off, I am trying to get a job up north in America. I have a place to stay for now which is with a relative. I am not big in asking for money or for help, never have been. But sometimes some people just need a leg up.
Currently I have no vehicle and no home of my own. I do have a job but I am about to quit it so that I can get a plane and move up north the 11th of this month. I will most likely start off with a job at a gas station or something within walking distance of the house I'll be staying at. Some of the money I'll be asking for will go into helping me out with making it until I can find a job, but most of the money will go into a down payment for a vehicle so long as everything goes to plan. Meaning no more surprises and me getting fucked over in stuff. If for some reason it does not go to a vehicle I can guarantee it will be used appropriately and for necessities NOT wants.

Also, please note this is a donation not an investment meaning their will not be any sort of reward as I can not guarantee that I will be able to come up with some sort of reward or repayment and I do not make promises that I already know that I can not keep.
For details on my situation please read the link below.
If you can not donate and help me out please feel free to share the below link on Facebook/Twitter or whatever social media website you want to Share it on.
Thank you for your time in reading this and hopefully considering helping me out.

If for some reason this becomes an issue or GoFundMe links are not allowed I will happily remove the link and change the title. I do not want any issues or to upset anyone. Thank you for your time.

Oh P.S. about the job thing, up north their are alot of oil rigs and other high risk, high paying jobs. I am trying to get a job at one of them but that may take some time, so for the time being until then I will be working at whatever and wherever I can find a job up their. Most jobs that I have found pay somewhere around $10-15/hr and 20-50hrs a week (excluding oil rigs). So, I will not be waiting for the high paying jobs to open up, I'll go get a job and be working until I can get a high paying job. I just need to make it from now to then. It's just a side note I think people should know.

Ahh ok just a min.[DOUBLEPOST=1478310794][/DOUBLEPOST]The less detailed version of the original post:

I'm not a type of person to ask for money or for help but considering my recent circumstances, I'm having to suck up my pride and ask for help. I'm needing money for necessities in life, mainly a vehicle. My old vehicle and home was stolen from me due to paper work not being done the way I thought it was and in some cases the lack of papers. So the people I trusted stabbed me in the back.

I'm asking for donations, not investments as I can not guarantee any sort of repayment and I am not going to make a promise that I know I most likely will not be able to keep.

I do have a job and I am moving somewhere that I will have a much higher paying job. But thanks to the expenses of that, I'm broke as fuck. I'm needing a leg up until I able to get that new job and a proper and higher income.

If you want details on my exact circumstances click the link and read it as it goes decently into detail. If someone wants a more detailed explanation, just ask.

Don't put a down payment on a car. Buy a used one for cheap.

I'm gonna go ahead and just quickly give my opinion on this whole thing. As I'm very opinionated.

So, I read your thread, and I do understand where you're coming from. Times can be difficult, and from time to time you may be short on money.
So in your case, you're asking for money to move and get a job. If I read it correctly. But that's just the thing. There are too many "maybes" in this situation for me. A bunch of gaps if you will. There are no 100% guarantees here.

And based on that, how're you expecting people to donate to that? And another thing, you're on a Minecraft Forums. The majority of the people here are still in HighSchool, who more-less either; A) Can't afford to donate to you. B) Don't want to. And you expect to get over a thousand dollars raised? Yeesh. That's a huge stepping stone.


Just wanted to say this. I'm not saying any of these things in any sort of attempt to attack you personally. I just don't really see the logic and assurance behind all of this.

Regardless, I do wish you luck with finding people who could // are willing to donate to you. I just felt the need to express my opinion about this.

I appreciate the feedback. And as for everything your saying, I get your point. Yes I posted on a mc forums which does have a crap tun of kids but I didn't really expect many people if any for that matter to donate, I was hoping at the very least they would share the GoFundMe link and just get the word out. As for moving... I already moved to where I needed too and am looking for a job. Sadly, I have like no money in the bank account. As far as bills and everything I got fortunate enough to find people (roommates) who are willing to let me stay with them rent free until I get a job. Then we're going to split things. Yes a thousand dollars is alot to ask for and if I could get that much I would be grateful, as anyone would, if I can't then oh well at least I tried.
