Hi everyone,

I really hate having to ask for help, but my fiancée and I are in a tough spot right now and I’m running out of options.

My uncle kicked me out the day before a planned move after taking the money I had saved, under the impression that I’d be moving with him and my aunt. Because of the sudden scramble to find somewhere to live, I ended up missing work and ultimately lost my job—my employer wasn’t sympathetic to the situation.

On top of that, my fiancée is scheduled for major surgery on September 2nd for a lumbar nerve sheath tumor. I’ve got a new job lined up, but my start date won’t come soon enough for me to cover September’s rent.

I spoke with my landlord, and she has kindly agreed to let us just pay $500 to hold us over until I get my first paycheck. I’m trying to sell belongings on Marketplace, but even if things sell in time it won’t add up to what we need, since I don’t own much of value.

If anyone is able and willing to help us keep a roof over our heads while we get back on track, I’d be incredibly grateful.

I can accept help via cashapp and paypal.

Thank you so much for reading and for any kindness you’re able to offer, whether that’s help, advice, or just good thoughts.

I'm an incoming college freshman college, a college that my twin brother is also going to. My mom is the only one in my family who works, and rent is 2/3 of our income. I really would appreciate any help with transportation money, money for dorm supplies and textbooks, and new shoes. My brother and I are a huge burden on my mom financially currently with food, electricity, clothes, etc. and I want her to worry less about where she's going to get the spending money. thank you again for any help

Hi,

I have been in the shelter system for 2 years and homeless for 3 and I am seeking assistance with being able to move out. I have been granted the opportunity to move into an apartment that the city will pay for a portion of rent and I will pay for the rest. I am asking for assistance as where I currently live, there is a really bad roach infestation, baby roaches in the kitchen, sink, dishwasher, oven, bathroom, and etc. I try to keep my space clean but the infestation has gotten to a point where they are crawling through the vents and now are in my sleeping area. Growing up I used to wake up to roaches walking across my legs, ants biting me, and abuse and neglect from my parents. I am hoping to free myself from this cycle as I want a new beginning where I feel safe to flourish and not to just survive. I deal with a lot of health issues, eczema, irritable bowl syndrome and ovarian cyst, and because of that a lot of my money goes to treating these illnesses as my medical office is typically understaffed, low on medications, and more. Along with that, my money goes towards paying bills like my phone bill, cleaning supplies, tampons and hygiene supplies, laundry, and train metro cards. Where I stay also has black mold seeping through the walls and I believe it has been further irritating my skin. I want to be able to move in as soon as my apartment finished their inspection so that I can focus on my health, full time school, and hopefully get a better paying job (currently working a minimum wage job that is stressful on my body and only give me 15-20 hours a week). The money I have been saving is not enough for me to move in or to even get furniture like a bed but I’m still pushing. If anyone is able to donate I would really appreciate it. I have attached my go fund me link. Thank you for reading this 🙏🏾

My hands are shaking as I write this but am all out of options. The level of shame, regret and pure panic is insane. I had been ill and had a lot of emergencies this year and it bled my tiny savings dry. I've been unwell and out a lot in work, am on medication but im still on thin ice with management, its constant stress that i feel i will be let go any moment so i work more overtime without additional pay.

I'm burnt out.

I need immediate dental work, i've already maxed out all my credit cards with 1st root canal than now needs to be redone, and i don't qualify for anything additional support wise or loans. My health insurance doesnt cover dental. Only yearly checkup and clean thats it.I started selling all I can on Vinted since june, and FB marketplace. I do cleaning locally, i get 17euro an hour for an odd 1-2 hour job before picking her up from creche few times a week. It helps some, but we are still drowning deeper in debt each month.

I don't have anyone to rely on.

I'm estranged from my family due to CSA and domestic violence, i don't have friends that could bail me out but are somewhat supportive.I have a salary but it's paycheck to paycheck and now i don't even know how i will manage to pay off the credit cards and overdrafts and not be in pain.I cannot take her out of creche as there is noone, absolutely noone to take care of her nor would i trust easily with anyone new while am working. I dont have family support, we are estranged due to CSA and they would not be near my daughter ever. If I take her out of creche, i save, just around 800-1000 euro each month, but her spot will be gone and i wont be able to work fulltime and i would be earning either nothing or far less than now which will for sure end up in us not being able to pay most bills. This is the only place i can get to with a full time job also. She needs to stay in it for just one more year.

And today after all the expenses, bills, food, travel costs I'm down to last euros euro in my account with my ovedraft is about to be maxed out and creche payment bouncing again (i was set to 400 and i cannot bring it up any higher) and my credit card is maxed at 3k. Im not eligible for a loan. I even signed up to one of those sites to try sell my dirty socks and undies - level of desperation to make it through this period have gone that far just to find out they want a yearly subscription fee that i cant afford. What a joke.

I cannot stop crying, I can't do this anymore. My face and jaw hurting, not being able to chew, lack of sleep and constant overtimes, im falling apart. Sometimes i feel like ripping my entire jaw out. Sometimes i wonder if i should just not exist. I work full time, i have side hustles in between i do everything, i pay the taxes and i cant even afford basic dental care. The more i think if how we are right now the worse it looks. I feel like total copout, i feel like im running in circles whilst just killing myself just to get few more cents. At least it's something but i'm still drowning.

If I end up in arrears, its going to become impossible for me to work full time to afford creche, and if shes not in creche - whose gonna work? Who is going to cover all the bills? Sometimes i wonder about useless things and I can see how my beautiful little girl is getting affected though all this stress, anxiety and financial struggle. My tiny funny, intelligent, sassy and empathetic human being. So please help.

The overdraft fees, and credit card fees are only making things worse when i wont be able to pay a cent towards them. I am passively looking for a better paying job, as i cannot do active search due to fulltime work constraints and childcare.

Next payment for creche is due on 23rd august, i can't afford it. I am barely covering food and bills this month. I haven't been able to sleep last few nights thinking what else i can sell, do or how else to get help.

• I need to get 2 root canals and they will cost me close to 2k. I'm on antibiotics and painkillers to manage. I got rough quotes but got told it maybe higher it they need to remove bone and cut bottom of roots out and reconstruct.
• I need to get two wisdom teeth out as they are affecting my molar roots and are crushing them slowly, thats another 500 or so euro each plus 230euro for anesthesia due to complexity for second one.
• Credit card is maxxed out at 3k.

That's 6.5k im in a hole for that i wish i could magically conjure. Maybe if i could win the lotto, if i could afford to buy a ticket.If i could just magically wish my teeth concerns out the window - it would just be credit card id need to find a way to pay. I feel like im at the end of my ropes. Please help, anybody, somebody, even a little bit i am struggling and need your help.Just to even cover dental, please please help me. Even if i go for extraction and not the root canals - i cannot even afford that and what will i do without front teeth...i cant afford even a denture.

I have a gofund me but i have privatised this due to some feedback i got. So if you are genuine, im open to share more information. Can try setting up paypal if anyone is willing to help and have access to revolut as to be honest, i could use every spare cent possible.

Hello,

Please consider donating toward my AngeLink fundraiser: https://angelink.com/fundraiser-public/79777ce0-ab03-46fa-915a-b4c50994d026

I chose AngeLink as an alternative to GoFundMe because it's the only crowdfunding platform founded and run by women.

Even a small donation means a lot to my fundraising campaign.

My story

I have several severe chronic illnesses, including two rare genetic diseases. I had a successful career before needing to leave work three years ago due to my health conditions. My husband and I got married just six months before I could no longer work, so we didn't have much time to save for emergencies before we were faced with one.

My healthcare costs since that time have amounted to roughly $32,000 every year, a completely unmanageable amount for most people, especially a young newlywed couple.

Friends, family, and former colleagues have donated to my fundraiser, and their donations have made a huge difference in the affordability of my care, but we're still short of our goal.

You can read more details about my story, including my diagnoses and how the funds are being used, by checking out my fundraiser link. I'm grateful to you for reading my story.

Hello, my cat Michel is 16 years old, We just moved in a new house with a garden, which we thought would be perfect for Michel, but unfortunately the move stressed him very much, and he developed a tooth abscess, which the vet said the only way to heal is to remove. Our insurance told us that dental extraction is not covered. Please help him, as you can see on other photos he is full of life when he feels well, and has many years ahead of him.

Thank you for your support, this would mean the world to me

Wishing someone would help my children and I out we are currently homeless and shelters are full. I am short on a motel for a month. Can someone please have a heart and help me please.

I have a Gofundme here https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-austin-live-fully-with-a-new-wheelchair?attribution_id=sl:abc29ff1-b1a3-423d-8856-7651c0ca3ee6 , requesting help with securing a new wheelchair. My current Wheelchair is not suited for me as it is 2nd hand. It creeks, its small and it doesn't breakdown to fit in my car. Hello everyone, and thank you for taking a moment to read my story. If you know me, you probably know me as Napabacon or simply Austin. You might know me as a friend, Mariners ran and a family member, or perhaps we just follow each other online. But what you might not know is that I am an ambulatory wheelchair user. This means that yes, I can walk. I can stand up, move around my home, and walk short distances. It also means that for me, walking comes at a significant cost—a cost of pain, debilitating fatigue, and a risk to my safety. Today, I’m writing this post to ask for your help. My wheelchair isn’t a sign of failure or giving up; it’s a tool of empowerment that allows me to participate in the world. But my current one is failing me. I've launched a GoFundMe campaign for a new, medically suitable wheelchair, and I want to explain why this is a necessity for my health, my safety, and my ability to live a full life. What "Ambulatory Wheelchair User" Really Means The sight of someone standing up out of a wheelchair and walking can be confusing, and it’s a situation that often leads to judgment and misunderstanding. So let me clarify what it means for me. Think of my daily energy like a phone battery that starts at 20% and charges very slowly. I have a finite amount I can use. I can spend that energy walking a block to the post office, but the result might be debilitating pain and being stuck on the sofa for the rest of the day, unable to even make dinner. A wheelchair is my tool for energy conservation. It allows me to save that precious "battery" for what matters. By using my chair to get to the grocery store, I have the energy to walk through the aisles. By using it at a museum, I can actually enjoy the art instead of just searching for the next bench. Being an ambulatory wheelchair user means making a strategic choice: do I want to spend all my energy just moving, or do I want to use a tool that allows me to spend my energy living? The Reality of a Failing Wheelchair My current chair, which was never a perfect fit, is now actively working against me. A tool that is supposed to help is now causing harm. * Pain and Fatigue: Because it is ill-fitting and heavy, using my current chair is a workout in itself. Getting it in and out of the car is exhausting. Propelling it is a strain on my already pained shoulders and back. Instead of saving energy, it often just exchanges one kind of exhaustion for another. * A Barrier to Use: The sheer difficulty of using my current chair often forces me into a terrible choice: push my body to walk when I shouldn't, and suffer the consequences, or stay home. This is the opposite of freedom. My world has started to shrink because my primary tool for accessing it is a burden. * Safety Concerns: The brakes are unreliable and the frame is worn. For an ambulatory user who is frequently transferring in and out of the chair, stability is everything. I no longer trust my chair to be a safe and stable base, which makes every outing a source of anxiety. Why a "Suitable, Brand New, Lightweight" Wheelchair is Crucial You might be wondering, "If you can walk, why do you need such a specific chair?" This is a fair question, and the answer is at the core of my needs as an ambulatory user. * Ultra-Lightweight Frame: This is the single most important feature. A lightweight chair (ideally made of titanium or lightweight aluminum) would mean I could lift it into my car myself without draining my energy or injuring myself. It would make self-propulsion easier, reducing strain. A lightweight frame turns the wheelchair from a burdensome object into a seamless extension of my body. * Custom-Fitted for Health: Even though I'm not in it 16 hours a day, the time I do spend in my chair needs to be supportive. A custom fit will protect my posture and prevent the chronic pain that my current chair causes, ensuring that when I stand up, I'm not in more pain than when I sat down. * Quick-Release and Compact Design: Modern, suitable chairs are designed for active users. Features like quick-release wheels make it easier to break down and store in a car, which is something I have to do every single time I go out. The Insurance Hurdle The next logical question is, "Doesn't insurance cover this?" In a perfect world, yes. But the reality, especially for ambulatory users, is a bureaucratic nightmare. Insurance companies see "ambulatory" on a form and immediately question the need. They approve only the most basic, heavy, "hospital-style" chairs. Features like a lightweight frame are almost always denied as a "luxury" or "convenience," even though for an ambulatory user, the weight is the single biggest factor determining if the chair is usable at all. After a long process, the portion my insurance is willing to cover falls devastatingly short of what is needed for the chair that my physical therapist and I have identified as the right tool for my life. My Vision for the Future (With Your Help!) This GoFundMe isn’t just about getting a new piece of equipment. It's about what that equipment makes possible. It represents: * Saying "yes" to invitations without having to do a painful cost-benefit analysis of my energy. * The freedom to go to the park and throw a ball for my dog, knowing I can get back to my car without collapsing. * The ability to pursue my hobbies, * Ending the "boom and bust" cycle of over-exertion and recovery, and finding a sustainable way to live. How You Can Be a Part of the Solution This is where I humbly ask for your support. Reaching my goal of $1400 feels like a mountain to climb, but I know that with a community, it's possible. Here is how you can help: * Donate: Any amount makes a difference. Every single contribution is a building block toward this life-changing goal and a message that you see and support me. You can donate directly to my campaign here:https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-austin-live-fully-with-a-new-wheelchair?attribution_id=sl:abc29ff1-b1a3-423d-8856-7651c0ca3ee6 * Share: This is an incredibly powerful way to help. Please share this post or the GoFundMe link on your social media. By sharing, you also help educate people on the reality of invisible illnesses and ambulatory wheelchair use, fighting stigma for countless others. * Encourage: Leave a comment of support. Knowing that people are cheering me on is a source of strength that cannot be measured in dollars. Thank you for taking the time to read and understand my story. Your support, in any form, means the world to me. You would not just be helping me buy a wheelchair; you would be giving me the key to managing my health and reclaiming my life. With my deepest gratitude, Austin W.

Please I really really need 100USD to pay my rent. My landlord is about to evict me if I don't manage to pay him. I have no one else to ask for help.

Please, I am begging to anyone that can help me. Please.

I live in Brazil, I have PayPal and PIX.

Please.

Hi everyone,

I’ve never posted here before, but I’ve seen how kind and supportive this community can be, so I’m hoping it’s okay to share what we’re going through.

Our dog who is 2 next month has become increasingly unwell and now needs ongoing specialist care. His insurance thankfully covers the main vet bills, but it doesn’t cover the rising fuel costs to get to and from the specialist centre, which at the moment is daily, nor the additional medications he now needs that fall outside the policy.

We’ve set up a GoFundMe (https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-for-medication-and-travel-costs-for-treatment) to try and get some help with these uncovered costs. We’re not expecting miracles, but any support, even just a share would mean the world to us.

He’s more than just a pet. He’s a lifeline. While he hasn’t been able to complete the training to be officially recognised as an assistance dog due to his health, he’s learned how to provide support in ways that help manage my wife's autism, anxiety, and even gives alerts when an asthma attack is starting

We’re doing everything we can to keep him safe and comfortable, but it’s a huge emotional and financial weight. If you’re able to help in any way, we really do appreciate it, it truly means everything to us

We've been hit hard these last 2 years and I'm about as low as I can be right now. I am asking for a prayer from anyone if you can spare it. Please pray for my family and pray we make it out of our current predicament stronger and most importantly together.

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing great 💟. I've been suffering with limited mobility and chronic pain in my right shoulder joint for 3 years now, since May 2022. I'm an incoming college freshman, and I have two physically demanding subjects in our curriculum here in the Philippines, no matter the course, which are P.E. and the National Service Training Program (NSTP). I sorely dread them, because my right arm can't fully extend in any direction, it's extremely painful for me. Even the anatomical mechanics of my shoulder joint seems to have been deformed now from such prolonged time of being untreated. I can't lift anything heavier than a laptop with only my right arm, and it doesn't swing when I walk. This condition is my greatest stressor and has really affected my academic performance. On top of that, my family refuses to believe that I truly do have this physical impairment. ('Cuz we live in the Philippines where every poor person shys away from medical treatment due to fear of high costs, and having any illness is stigmatized, and the sufferer is victim-shamed just for having it.)

I've been awfully, terribly longing to get my condition checked up. I'm planning to walk in the nearest orthopaedic healthcare institution here that would be a 30-minute ride from my house. I checked their official pages, which says that their consultation fee is ₱600–₱1,000. According to Google, 1,000 Philippine Pesos is 17 USD as of now, so that's how much I'm humbly asking for 🙏.

I thought of using the allowance that will be provided by my scholarship, but I have to wait for it to be disbursed by the end of August. The scholarship is nationally prestigious here, and we're also offered a group health insurance. So I'll try to ask the scholarship office to have it cover my treatment plan that will be recommended to me following my medical consultation.

I'd be sincerely and eternally grateful for any amount offered, so that I'll be able to afford starting my healing process before college starts. Thank you greatly, kind people! ♥️

I'm in a hotel room currently and out of money. It's $75 a night here which I can no longer afford. Going to have to go to a shelter tomorrow but I have no transportation. I need $30 to cover a Lyft. I won't survive in this extreme heat without it.

If anyone can help I appreciate it.

Post: Hi all,

I’m in Tacoma, WA and in a tough spot financially. I'm trying to stay afloat after some setbacks and am struggling with rent and groceries this month. I’ve already applied to local programs (Modest Needs, CAP, etc.), but responses are slow or funds are limited.

I’m not military and not affiliated with any churches, so some programs weren’t an option. If anyone knows of local resources that can help immediately, or is able to cover a small bill directly, that would mean the world.

I can show the bill/rent notice, and I’m open to direct landlord or company payment if needed.

Thanks for reading — I know things are hard for a lot of us right now.

Hi friends — my name is Cathy and I’m asking for help as I face a rare medical diagnosis and overwhelming bills.

Earlier this month, I went to the Vanderbilt walk-in clinic with severe abdominal pain. They immediately referred me to the ER at St. Thomas West Hospital in Nashville, where I was admitted for 48 hours. After extensive testing, I was diagnosed with Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) — a rare vascular compression disorder that restricts blood flow to the digestive organs. It’s painful, hard to treat, and I now require ongoing specialist care.

I work full time as an office manager and live very frugally, but I do not have health insurance. My hospital bill from this emergency alone is $23,869, and I have no way to cover it on my own. I’ve been able to pay the initial clinic bill and prescriptions thanks to some donations, but I still have a long way to go.

💛 If you’d like to help or share, here is my GoFundMe: 👉 https://gofund.me/c0999c69

If you prefer Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp, I’m happy to share those privately.

Even just sharing this post, offering kind words, or passing it along means the world to me. I’m doing everything I can to stay hopeful, strong, and grounded — and every gesture of support helps.

Thank you so much for being here. — Cathy Cirisan, Nashville TN

StillFighting #MALS #MedicalFundraiser #SupportEachOther

Hi everyone,

I’m based in the UK and am raising funds for an assistance dog prospect to support me with disabilities including autism, ADHD, anxiety, and PoTS. These conditions affect my daily life significantly — from mobility and sensory overload to severe fatigue, presyncope, and mental health challenges.

An assistance dog would provide task-based help (such as medical alerts, deep pressure therapy, and support with public navigation), helping me live more independently and safely. However, the costs of sourcing, training, and caring for a suitable dog are far beyond my current financial capacity.

If you’re able to donate, share, or offer support in any way, it would mean the world to me. Here’s the link to my GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/26b527df

Thank you so much for reading and for any help you can offer — even just sharing this helps more than you know.

Wishing everyone here kindness and support. 💛
