I am in my thrid year of college, on loans, and i have been supporting myself on my own for the past two years.  My mother is a single parent with four children, and after a messy divorce to my step-father, she wasn't able to keep helping me at school.  I work two to three jobs on campus (depending, right now I'm working two).  I also work as a sales associate when I go home for vacations.  The problem is that minimum wage at school is $5.15 an hour and I'm not allowed to work more than 20 hours a week (which I don't get anyway).  I started charging everything to credit cards so that I could afford to buy food and things I needed for school, and now I have about $3,000 racked up in credit card bills.  I am not one of those people that just shops, but I needed to look like everything was okay so that I didn't stress my mom out more than she already was (she also has two jobs).  I am wondering if there is anyone that would be interested in helping me out.  I am planning on paying off all this debt and staying with only one card, which I will use for emergencies only.  I am thought by my family to be very responsible.  I do well in school, and I also help out a lot with raising my sisters.  It's really embarassing for me to admit to this problem to my family.  What I really want is to pay it off as soon as possible.  I am even willing to pay the money back to whoever loans it (as long as it is without interest).  The main thing is getting rid of the debt before interest hits any worse.  Thanks so much for your time.

If you are interested in helping me out, but don't have any money to donate you can also help by following my link and signing up.  Here you can sign up to win free prizes, and all you have to do is sign up and complete 1 credit worth of offers.  I get credit for referring people and can eventually win money (which will go toward paying my debt).  The offers are mainly just free trials, but I get credit for every person who signs up through my link.
