Hi there everybody, my names Taifur and I am writing in this forum as a last resort because I desperately need help. A lot of you will read this and perhaps laugh about it or throw abuse at me, some may not even bother. I am not asking for sympathy and not expecting much help but I would be extremely grateful with all the help I recieve.
I am 18 years old and since the age of 15 I became addicted to football gambling. I am from a middle class background and my parents are very old but hardworking.
All my life I have saved up around £2000 and have never gambled with my savings until oneday. I slowly got carried away and £50 turned into £250 per bet. My savings have now disappeared. It is my fault.
I did not come onto this forum asking for a sympathy vote. I admit it is my fault and I was ready to move on with life. However, there has been catastrophic flooding in my homeland and a lot of my family are now homeless, my parents know I have atleast £1500 in savings, truth is I dont. They have asked me to donate it all to relatives in my home country. Problem is I have peanuts. I can't tell my parents the truth as I will be kicked out the house because £2000 is a lot of money for us. I am a student and do not work. I am very desperate and living in guilt.
Now the reason I have written all this is because I am asking for your help. Donations of £1 or £2 will be cherished. I promise to pay back every single person who helps me if they leave a contact address, email or phone number. I have raised £220 so far.
Thank you for reading until the end. I respect your decision and opinion in every sense.
If you do wish to help me than please email me on Taifur@lycos.co.uk
Thank You Very Much |

2) The starving population of the world who can't avoid the situation their in.
Now can you "Gamble" a guess as to where my money will go.
