    Default im swallowing my pride and begging for some charity

    heres whats going on.im a soldier currently stationed in Korea at Kunsan AFB with the Patriot battery.last week,i got a Red Cross message that my 3 year old son has been hospitalized in the psych ward after having a psychotic breakdown.the doctors said they cant officially diagnose him as bipolar,as thats illegal or something in Arizona,so officially,he has a mood disorder.they put him on medication which they said there has been a significant improvement in his behavior,which proves their diagnosis because they said if he didnt have that problem the medication wouldnt help him.so its not a matter of parenting,though honestly,i kind of blame myself because he's taken me joining the army pretty hard,and i've basically been gone for a year now.command is willing to give me all kinds of accomodations-emergency leave,a compassionate reassignment,and possibly a hardship discharge.my problem is that the battalion S-1 (the group who handles the administrative and financial area for the battalions soldiers,for those of you who dont know) has my pay all messed up,and i've been fighting with them to get it fixed since march.so basically,i dont make enough to cover my bills(i'm over 300 short every month) and i certainly cant afford the plane ticket home and back.not to mention,my wife is pregnant and about to have the baby here soon,shes supposed to come in September,but the docs dont think she will wait that long.yeah,my wife needs me to help out,badand we dont even have a car seat for her yet.so here i am,asking anyone out there willing to help,please,help me.i dont care how you can help,anything will be appreciated,but i have exhausted all other resources,from the army emergency relief loans and grants to people i can borrow money from.trust me,if there were anything i could think of,i would be doing it.if you want some kind of verification,i'll do my best to get that to you,just be reasonable.im on the level with this stuff.this is the worst pinch i've ever been in.i just want to see my family.

    While it sucks that you may be going through a tough time right now, this is not the appropriate place to ask for any sort of charity. We have a blanket "do not allow" rule set up for things like that. There are other sites more suited for what you are looking for -- an emulation board is not one of them.

    Whenever I need money, an emulation board is the first place I run to.
