My son's baptism will be two weeks from now and I haven't foresaw the expenses this month. The budget for the baptism was gone and now I really have to work on where I could get money to pay for the catering services and everything. I tried a personal loan on two banks, one was disapproved and the other was still in pending status. I am worrying so much because the approval would take 1-2 weeks I suppose, and the event is very near... Do you have any idea how can I get things straight very easily? Can I borrow money from someone here in MyLot? I would really appreciate your response on this... Thanks in advance :(

To be honest, I don't think you'llever receive money from some random people over the net in that short of time. If you have some friends or relatives abroad, I suggest that borrowing money from them can be a solution. Other than that, you just have to find some other resources like your parents or your hubby's parents perhaps... your colleagues, friends, etc.. Find someone you actually know so that you can ask for them personally what you need. I understand that you didn't expect your expenses this month to affect what you have planned with your son's baptism. But have you tried to consider cutting off expenses by getting a catering service which would cost you thousands of pesos..and Instead, consider cooking and preparing the food yourself or ask help from your friends and relatives. If you can't get money that fast, then that's the only solution I have in mind if I were in your shoes. Happy Christening to your baby. Best of luck.

Thanks for your advices meemingNEW! I was thinking of borrowing money from our relatives already but that would be the last resort. I am still waiting for the approval of the loan.. I just hope it would be approved though.
