I got that call. Except it was a FaceTime call from my 8 year old. I was at work around 3:30 on Friday when I saw the FaceTime call from his iPad come in. When I picked up, he was silent on the other end and walking through our living room. He goes over to my wife’s home office and flips the camera around. She is half fallen out of her work chair with her head balanced on the desk in front of her keyboard. She wasn’t responding and looked blue. I yelled her name and started to run out from work. Our plan with my boys has always been to go to our neighbors in an emergency, so I said to run next door and I’d call right back. I called 911 and gave them the location and situation. I work about 25 minutes from home, which felt like it took forever and strangely felt like it only took seconds if that makes any sense. I called the boys back on FaceTime and they picked up while knocking on the neighbors door. Nobody came. The second emergency location is our neighbor across the street. My boys were soooo brave. They ran over and knocked on the door and the son answered. Somehow, the iPad stayed connected to the WiFi at my house and I could see them take off running back towards my house. My son told me the police were there. I still had about 10 minutes to drive to get home. I pulled in and noticed my sons in the yard playing with a few officers. There were 2 ambulances and what felt like 20 police cars. I ask the first paramedic if she was ok and he directed me to talk to the paramedic by the door. Something felt bad. And it was. They apologized and said she was too far gone and there was nothing they could do. She was just inside the door, now on the floor. My world has closed in on me. And the worst part is my poor little boys found her. I last texted with her around 1:30 after her phone interview for a job she was thrilled about. The in person interview was supposed to be yesterday. I got the call from my son around 3:45. Something happened, that we still won’t know until toxicology is complete in 4-6 weeks. My boys told me they saw what they thought was her sleeping on her desk and went outside to play. They came back in and she still hadn’t moved and they couldn’t wake her up. My poor little guys had to walk around her body for an hour or longer. That part is bothering me more than anything else. They are much more resilient than I am. I’m a wreck and am attempting to say the right things. I coach both my boys basketball teams and I decided to give it a go last night. I dreaded it to an extent because we are small town USA, and I felt like all eyes were on me. My 6 year old hit the first two shots of the game, his first points of the season. I briefly lost it but regained my composure pretty quickly. Tomorrow we will have the service for my wife and beautiful mother to my boys. Part of me is ready to get everything over and the other part wonders if he can make it. My boys give me the strength. My friends and family have been incredible. Laundry done, house and yard cleaned, refrigerator full. It’s been incredible to see how much she was loved and how much we are loved. It’s powerful to see that with your own eyes, but yet I feel so helpless and guilty when I see my friends cleaning up my house. The most random words or things I see have made me cry uncontrollably. I’m 6’6” and 280 lbs, and my 2 best friends were terrified that they might have to catch me from passing out. It’s surreal. The first night, I had to ask myself multiple times if it was a dream. Literally questioning my sanity, only to realize I felt the pinch. I just dropped the boys off at school for the first time after holding them out yesterday. I’m laying in our bed where the boys have slept each night since. I’m surrounded by her clothes, jewelry, and phone that continues to vibrate with spam messages and emails. I’m by myself. But I’m doing better today.

Her name was u/she_linden_tree, Amanda, and mommy.

Here is a Go Fund Me we set up for my boys.

My boys gofundme

I need so much help I don’t know where to start. The shelves are empty. The donation lines have run dry. We have minimal internet. Water should be out for weeks. Idk what to do. I really don’t. I don’t even know what I need, but I need help bad.

I tried to make a new life for myself after my ex-fiancé ruined everything, lied, took my family and friends from me, so i had to relocate, i got an apartment and rented a car through uber-hertz to make money, eventually just doing it full time.

I overworked myself and got sick, i couldn't keep up with the payments for the car rental as i was paying $328 a week since january, had to return it as i was 5 weeks overdue, but i needed to eat of course, i was given a payment plan for my rent June, barely made it with the money i have left, but i had two days to barely breathe before i received another letter on the 5th of July that i have 3 to make up my outstanding balance of $1628 (rent, utilities, and 211 left over from June), before im filed for eviction and there will be a forced repossession of my unit on the 8th of July.

On the 15th of June i had attempted calling around local human and social services, churches, 211, etc. A lot of places i've heard nothing back from. One place i had went in physically and they wanted me to apply for Medicaid and/or SNAP first and i have yet to get a notice of approval. Another building was only offering assistance for first months rent/deposit, and i wasn't eligible as i've been here since Jan.

Anything, im open to anything, I'll DO anything. I have absolutely no one, if this is taken from me, I'll be out in the streets, i have no idea what to do. Please i just need someone, anyone even if it means chatting, I don't care i'm just scared that i've failed and wasn't meant to have a normal life. What can i even do next?

I've been an IT professional all of my career, but was let go at the end of 2022 when my previous employer was replaced with an MSP, and I've been job hunting ever since. Age discrimination feels very real to me, and I'm about to turn 50.

I'm in the east Seattle area, and housing costs are climbing like a rocket, and the tech jobs are evaporating.

I've been trying various side-hustles while job hunting, and most of then have been net zero, but that doesn't mean I'm stopping., but it does mean I need help. I've never liked asking for help, but I've reached the point that I must.

I need help, and I need a lot, and I need it soon.

Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Edit #1: We (the wife and I) definitely need to move by the end of April, as the landlord is selling the house.

Edit #2: I truly appreciate all of the support and encouragement most of you have offered; it actually does help a bit!

I need help with having her cremated I have a invoice that can be confirmed

I begged the rescue to get the foster dog out and they gaslighted us its the cruelest experience and this day feels so numb

If I have done this wrong I'm sorry. I'm just so lost

Hello everyone! I am a student at ASU and am being unfairly charged by the University. To preface, my parents disowned me for being queer after my first year of college, so I am completely on my own. However, the university is still charging me like my parents are paying, and have refused to grant me independent student status. I have gone to student advocacy, financial aid, honors advising, my major advising, and my college. I've told them that I am paying my own way through college, and that they can't go off of what my parents make as my income as they disowned me long ago for being trans and don't give me a penny. The school charges me a shit ton of money, way more than I should be being charged, and no matter who I talk to they won't change it. I have begged and cried, I have told them that I can't afford basic things like soap or clothes, and they do not care. They tell me to take out an emergency loan worth $500... nevermind the fact I owe 11k, and have maxed out the loans I'm allowed to take. My account is now locked because I owe so much money and i don't have any way to pay it. I work basically full time and put every bit of my paycheck towards this and it barely makes a dent.

I have applied to many scholarships but I'm unable to find ones that actually give me a shot, all the ones I'm eligible for have like 20,000 other applicants. You are more than welcome to scroll through my previous reddit history to see that I am a student at ASU, and that I've been asking about money and scholarships and stuff for months now. If anyone needs more proof or more information I am more than happy to provide it. Any other advice is more than welcome, like if anyone knows of programs that give grants or scholarships. I've posted stuff similar to this in other subreddits but a lot of them get removed for some reason, even though I make sure to follow the rules :(

I'm sure I'll get the "just change schools" advice, and my major is super niche. ASU is one of the only schools in the country that offers it, so moving would be extremely difficult.

Finally, here's the link to my GoFundMe. If anyone can donate anything I will be so appreciative. If anybody knows any good spots or groups or organizations that I could post this to so I can get more people reading about my situation, that would also be awesome. I'm really just trying to make ends meet, I love going to school and I love getting an education. Thank you!

Hi, I am 23 years old and have Bipolar Disorder. I got laid off recently and though usually my insurance can cover majority of my mental health expenses, I still have to pay partially out of pocket. I currently have an outstanding balance of $180 that has been sent to collections (edit: from the psych practice to clarify), and I cannot schedule an appointment with my doctor due to my account being frozen.

I am starting school up again in January and cannot live without my medication and especially cannot attend school without it :((((. It keeps me mentally stable. I just ran out of my meds and I am starting to get really worried.

Please help me, I appreciate your time for reading my post so so so much <3

***Edit: I want to add I am actively applying to jobs at the moment, I will do everything in my power to make sure this doesn’t happen again. I’m really trying my best

Hi all! So, my mom died last week and now the funeral home is calling which is the last thing I want to deal with at the moment due to... obvious circumstances. But I don't have much of a choice. The holidays are the worst time for funerals, and I hate even making posts.

My job (school lunch lady) doesn't pay me for the two weeks off I get from winter break, so that's a check gone.

Anyways, I don't have enough money, nobody in my family is willing to help pay for it bc they didn't really like my mom.

The cremation is 1700, I have 700 of it. And obviously I don't expect to get all of that from a reddit post but ANY help is appreciated.

Hi. I come to you with nowhere else to turn. My 30 year old brother with cerebral palsy and debilitating mental health challenges was illegally evicted a few days ago in the beginning of an extremely cold Canadian winter. After moving in a few months ago and giving both first and last months rent given to him from disability, the landlord decided to move in a family member without serving papers or doing anything above board. To further this, when my brother started asking questions, the landlord forcibly grabbed him by the sweater and tossed him out of the house. We are currently in contact with a lawyer, he said that my brother is within his right to fight for his money, but conclusions can take up to a year. Disability worker told him he’s only entitled to first and last months rent once a year and because he doesn’t have a fixed address, his monthly disability will be reduced to just the basic needs portion. I guess what I’m asking is if we could have any financial support just to get him by for now and to secure a place as fast as possible. We also need assistance in any way whether well wishes, ins and outs of the system etc. He’s been wandering the streets with just the clothes he was wearing. Where he lives doesn’t have 24/7 coffee shops and the library closes fairly early. He’s out in the cold and it’s only going to get colder from here. I’m so angry on his behalf. What was done was unjust and help is so, so appreciated from the bottom of our hearts ❤️

I’m facing the very real possibility of being homeless again, and I’m doing everything I can to prevent it. I have until May 2025 to pull things together, but time is running out, and I need help raising $1,500 to cover my first month’s rent, groceries, and some bills. This would give me the chance to secure stable housing and focus on finding a job that can accommodate my disabilities before I lose my current place to live. It’s been a long, difficult road, and while I’m determined to make it through this, I can’t do it alone.

I’m legally blind, and while I can manage with shaded lenses, it still makes finding work a challenge. On top of that, I’ve suffered multiple spinal fractures, leaving my back fragile. I can still walk, but heavy lifting or strenuous activity isn’t an option for me. These physical disabilities alone make finding a job difficult, but they also disqualify me from receiving SSI. I’m grateful to receive SNAP benefits, but they only cover about two weeks of groceries each month, leaving me to figure out the rest on my own.

In addition to my physical challenges, I also have Tourette’s Syndrome, Autism, and ADHD. These conditions bring their own unique struggles to finding and keeping a job. My Tourette’s and Autism can make certain work environments overwhelming, and my ADHD impacts focus and time management. To make matters worse, I’m allergic to many of the medications that help manage these conditions, so I’ve had to rely on non-medical coping strategies. While I’ve worked hard to adapt, traditional workplaces are rarely designed with these challenges in mind.

My first priority is finding stable housing. The constant instability I’ve experienced over the last two years has taken a huge toll on both my physical and mental health. If I can secure rent and cover my basic needs for even just one month, it will give me the time and stability I need to find a job nearby that works with my limitations. I know that job is out there, but I need a little more time to find it without the constant stress of wondering where I’ll live.

I also have a cat who’s been a huge source of comfort through everything. She’ll be turning one year old soon and needs to be spayed, which is another expense I’m struggling to afford. She’s family to me, and her health and happiness are just as important as my own. Taking care of her is a responsibility I refuse to give up, no matter how tough things get.

Having been homeless multiple times before, I know just how hard it is to rebuild when you’re starting from nothing. Each time I’ve gotten back on my feet, it’s felt like stability is just out of reach, and this time, I want to break that cycle for good. That $1,500 wouldn’t just be a temporary fix—it would be the foundation I need to build a more stable future.

I’m not asking for a handout; I’m asking for a hand up. I want to work, support myself, and finally have a secure place to call home. But the reality is that finding a job with my disabilities takes time, and time is something I don’t have much of right now. Without stable housing, I’ll be stuck in survival mode, unable to move forward.

If you’re able to help, even just a little, it would mean everything to me. Every dollar gets me closer to having a safe place to live, food to eat, and the chance to find a job that will finally allow me to support myself. And if you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing my story could help me reach someone who can. Thank you so much for reading this and for caring. Your support—whether it’s financial, emotional, or simply spreading the word—gives me hope that I can get through this.

3 days ago my neighbors moved out of their house without warning and left their sweet dog to starve to death in the cold. My boyfriend discovered their dog on the side of their empty house digging through trash they left behind looking for food, he was skin and bones and appeared to have not eaten in days.

We immediately brought him over to our home and gave him food, water, and a place to rest. He is incredibly sweet, mellow, and kind despite being abandoned. Although he is very weak and does not want to raise from his bed unless absolutely necessary, we fear that besides being incredibly malnourished he may have medical problems from long term neglect and being out in the freezing temperatures.

I have absolutely no idea what type of treatment he may need or what it may cost and unfortunately do not have the funds to cover a vet visit on my own so I've created a GoFundMe for any detonations. Anything helps! Here is also an Amazon Wish List requested by some of you that you could help with everyday things he'll need. Every animal deserves a chance at a happy and healthy life and I hope I can give him that.

EDIT; WE HIT OUR GOAL PLEASE GO WATCH THE UPDATE VIDEO ON THE GOFUNDME! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH LOVE YOU GUYS!

EDIT 2; Our buddy has an appointment Monday at the vet, he's been slowly gaining his energy back and is so happy! Here's a picture of him today!

There is a group of people that are pretending to purchase things off people's Amazon wishlist. You think you have been helped then it turns out nothing was actually purchased. Here is the way to prevent that from happening to you:

Once your list is created, contact Amazon in order to have the "purchased outside of Amazon" button turned off.

Here is the contact information:

►1.To Call: http://www.amazon.com/clicktocall

Once this has been done, they no longer can mess with you in this manner. We are sorry people are this vile, but we have to deal with reality. This simple fix will prevent this from happening to you.

EDIT:It seems the chat option does not work. You have to call them directly. But the call option allows you to give your number. Then they call you back when it's your turn.

Update: I am so overwhelmed in the best way. Thank you so much for your generosity, I know it is extra hard this time of year for families and I appreciate the kindness! This has been such a huge help.

Also, thank you for sharing your personal stories and words of encouragement. They are so valuable for me right now at a time where I am still figuring this out and trying to get our new family member settled in. I know I've made the right choice.

I want to wish all of you a happy holiday season, from the bottom of my heart thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

There was a very dirty, very hungry and dehydrated maine coon cat outside my house who seemed stressed out and sick.

I called animal control and they said there were no reports of a missing cat and it's likely it's one of the many strays we have in town. She said we should wait a week and if no one claims him she could call an organization to pick him up.

In the short time we've been together, I have fallen in love with this guy. Hes so sweet and gentle. I took him for a vet visit and to scan him for a chip and the doctor seemed really put off by him. He gave me a hard look and asked if I was planning on keeping him.

He listed all the negatives, his fur is matted, he's 5 years old, missing a tooth, he needs all his shots, bloodwork done and he needs to be neutered. Neutering will be more involved since one testicle is undescended. I told the doctor these are all issues I'm prepared to handle. That this cat has been nothing but accepting of my love and help and I want to give him a comfortable life.

Then the vet noticed a scratch behind his ear. Apparently, that is called a "wound of unknown origin". This means he is a rabies risk and my only options are to put him in quarantine for 4 months or euthanize him.

The vet said "if it were me, I wouldn't quarantine... most people can't do that."

The cat is otherwise seemingly healthy, his heart and lungs sound great. He's super friendly with people and honestly that scratch could have come from anywhere.

I told the vet and animal control officer I'm doing the quarantine. Everyone seems to think I've lost my mind but I am prepared to do this. I have a spare bedroom I've been keeping him in my own quarantine anyways, separate from everyone else. I plan on paying all the vet bills myself, however after doing that it will be a struggle to provide the odds and ends that any cat requires.

The reason for my posting here... I'm not asking for cash. I'm asking for assistance with food, litter and other things to try to make him more comfortable. I have cats but he isn't allowed to share the same brushes, ect so I will need to buy new ones.

I have a link to an amazon wish list for him below and if you wanna see his cute face you can look here: http://imgur.com/gallery/PFifISB

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3VK2V4OPTPAYP?ref_=wl_share

Also, he needs a name!! If you have any name suggestions please comment :)

TL;DR: took in stray cat, fell in love. Vet said hes a rabies risk because of mystery scratch and I needed to quarantine or put him down. He's now a tenant in my front bedroom!

Just a request for information, not a financial request. I'm extremely near sighted and have worn glasses since I was 5. I was in a fire a couple years ago and they burned. Red Cross did give me a voucher for new glasses but I wasn't able to get to an appointment before it expired. (Was a tough time afterwards. Lost a loved one and my dog and I was in a very dark place for a long time. Did try to get a replacement voucher but so much time had passed it wasn't possible.)

Just wanted to go ahead and put out there why I don't have any despite being blind as a bat 😆 Can see about a foot in front of me so definitely need to take care of this. I know you guys are amazing at finding resources and I know there are programs that will partially pay or completely pay for glasses. I'm in NE SC currently. I tried getting my old Rx from FL but they said they don't give out that information??? (Vision World - Coral Springs, Florida) It has been a while. I'd guess around 2016 but I assumed they kept records and would be willing to share but I was wrong.

So if any of you have any suggestions please let me know. I want to drive and watch TV again 😆 I've tried Lions Club with no luck. (Honestly I gave up because I kept being referred to person after person and no one could help me. But I will try them again). So if anyone has any other programs or organizations they can suggest I would really appreciate it. I don't have Medicaid because SC doesn't offer expanded Medicaid and I don't have any children under 18 in my household.

I know they're resources out there but just don't know where to start so any information would be appreciated. If you need anymore info, like more specific location, just let me know.

Thank you for taking the time to read my rambling - I talk too much, even when I'm typing 😆

Hi,

I absolutely need this amount to just eat and pay essential bills. I lost my job and my partner was laid off. I would definitely pay this amount forward when our situation is better financially. Thanks for reading.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks in advance for giving me a minute of your time! I’m currently a dialysis patient looking for a potential kidney donor. I have been on peritoneal dialysis for almost two years and, unfortunately, haven’t had any luck finding a donor through family or friends, which brings me to this amazing community.

I currently live in Northern California, but am more than willing to travel domestically. Rest assured, my medical insurance would cover the procedure and any subsequent check-ups you may need immediately after the transplant.

Additionally, I will do my best to help you get reimbursed for any transportation, food, and lodging expenses you may encounter through the NLDAC program. (Please see here: https://www.livingdonorassistance.org/documents/NLDAC_Program_Snapshot.pdf for more information.)

For anyone that might be interested, please send me a DM and I can provide you with the necessary form to fill out to get the process started.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for giving me a second of your time! :-)

I just got diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and PTSD. It is something I’ve had for a long time, yet the realization that it’s real and not something I can just hope is fake is kinda crushing. I feel alone, I don’t have any food and I am struggling. Right now I am not asking for money or anything, just a friend and someone to speak to.

Current gigs are pet sitting and survey apps.

I found temp work (shipping/packing) but I don’t have transportation to get there. Bus/train is not an option due to distance/work hours so I need a car or a ride.

I need $900 more for my rent.

Any ideas for how I can earn money? Any online options? I’m struggling to think of what else to do. I don’t have any family or friends to help.

I’m willing to work and cannot find anything. Have walked to local businesses and applied to many and not getting any call backs.

And my laptop broke so I only have phone/tablet to do online work.

Please do not suggest 211. They have a job program but they are extremely slow to assist because these services are not designed to help. I called and ask for help for a ride to work or a job and they didn’t help with anything. It’s been weeks since I applied and no one has called me and I’ve followed up several times with no success.

I had a big reduction in income because I needed to adjust my work hours to attend college. Along with the reduction in income, my insurance also got cancelled, and my ADHD medication is no longer covered by my new insurance.

I’m in some significant but manageable credit card debt, but I can’t afford an extra 300 dollars for this prescription. It’s really necessary that I get it so that I can continue to keep my grades up—my scholarship for school depends on it. I do really poorly in school without medication. If anyone could help even a little I’d really appreciate it.

I can send proof of prescription and my ADHD diagnosis if necessary.

Hello. My wife and I keep running low on food. We have a 2 month old and I feel like I've just been trying to get some breathing room ever since we found out she was coming. We both love her so much and she's amazing, but health insurance is kicking my ass, she prefers formula which is pricy, and we never have enough groceries in the house.i used to donate plasma but I'm on deferment because I had surgery on my eyes about a month ago.

I'm not asking for much, 50 would get us enough groceries to payday, anything more than that would afford us at least a bit of breathing room. I'm not expecting anything from anyone but I figured I should at least try

Sorry for this everyone My mom was arrested this week on Monday and she didn't have enough food at home. She usually works overtime to get us food but now she can't. I am the oldest if my 3 siblings and we also have a dog and cats (who we are planning on giving away). My mom also needs food as we do to visit her. I don't know what to do at thus point. Unfortunately we don't have amazon in Malawi, Africa buy maybe a gofundme is better? https://gofund.me/1511c49c Any help would do😞

Hi I am Chris and hate to ask but I am currently struggling & really don't have anyone to help, I feel embarrassed to ask for help here.

I am short on cash and would like to pay vet bill for this little guy. He has it bad with mange and couldn't just abandon it to the cold to die, help like $70ish would be to start would be appreciated (got to get the skin scrape etc.), I have PayPal and CashApp.

I'm sorry if I made this long thanks for taking the time to read this.

update: for those responding I am going to try and contact the vet early on Monday (https://alamosavet.com/#contact) with cost/invoice stuff to see what I can share (I called got answering machine, dm'd them on fb earlier but just got autoresponse). Also have to set up appointment when my friend with the car is off (the office is at the edge of town 4.3 miles), so that has delayed this.

For context the reason I am so freaked out is because the stray cat that little guy was hanging with before (adoption), (I think transferred) the mange and it was just a bit smaller looking and it's not around (am pretty sure it's gone now because of the mange) and I don't want the same thing to happen to him.

---

Update: So the estimate a vet on the low end just for the appointment/check up is $35.60, they couldn't give me an estimate on the medicine etc, till after the tech/vet looks at him, we set an appointment for him on Thursday at 6pm. They don't do a payment plan.

Bump: Got to take him to the vet finally, after scraping together and asking for a ride, so the cheapest I could make it was almost $70 without a shot, but they threw some topical treatment, if anyone could help out so I won't be so deep in the hole and can get food later please let me know & the invoice/receipt thing is here https://app.koofr.net/links/51d4c5e5-7ae1-4ee4-85cc-24a0133ace7a

I guess the dog needs bravecto to work as I've tried using the liquid and he's still covered. I'm 2 months behind on my mortgage and pretty much at the worst place in my life financially and mentally, but the dog is suffering and I can't afford it and I really don't want him to have to bring his dog to a shelter. He has three dogs and three kids and a wife so it's hard to find a place for all of them to stay. The dogs looks like Seymour from Futurama and is just as loyal and always at my heels and it's so good and smart and a perfect little guard dog. But he's so sweet too. But everything I've tried to do I cannot get rid of these fleas and I cannot afford to get him flea medicine so I've been giving him baths with Dawn and I've tried flea bombing the house and sprays and everything but nothing works and we're all getting eaten up. He's starting to get patches where he's licked for often his skin raw. As bad as everything is for me and his owner, the dog doesn't need to suffer. he's about 40 to 50 lb if that matters.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and even if you can't help if you could upvote or something maybe?I don't know have a great day and enjoy life to the fullest and keep on trying to help people. There's so many selfish people in this world that we need to lead by example and do whatever we can to make this world a little better and small ways whenever we can.

I'm in South Carolina, USA.

this is a resubmission because I wasn't registered but I posted the same thing 10 days ago I hope it doesn't break the rules

Update Thank you all for the responses. I really appreciate it. Sadly she passed away early this morning. There isn’t much more I can say right now but thank you everyone for what you do.

I’m sorry in advance if I’m more rambling in my post but my mind has been all over the place lately. I guess I’m looking for help or advice right now. My mother’s health took a serious downward turn over the last month. She’s 83 as of last Sunday but she’s been in the hospital since shortly before then and has endured multiple surgeries for her heart and other issues. My father is 85 now and does his best to be there with her every day. I spoke with him today and he said it’s time to just prepare for the worst. Her most recent complication is now that her liver is failing. Much of these issues are stemming from multiple surgeries within the last week. Added infection from constantly being opened up and just not being able to rest and heal.

I want to see her but I can’t get there. I drive but don’t have a vehicle. Usually when I would go I would rent a car for a couple days and all is well. The problem is the credit card I have has current charges around $250 so it doesn’t have enough balance to cover the temporary charge while a rental is out.

I’m looking for any quick way to get my card balance clear so I can book a car to see her. I don’t expect her to make it through the end of the year and it pains me to not even be able to see my father through this. They’re about three hours away from me. Even if someone can just give me some good advice. I use Venmo mostly as it’s been the easiest to link with my credit union.

Again, I’m sorry for the rambling. It’s just been really hard to focus these past few weeks with all of this. I want to be able to give back to people too. I guess we all say it but I’m a good person. I do what I can to help anyone in need and try to keep my problems to myself but this has just been eating at me for awhile now.

I guess what I’m asking is anyone that can help me chip down my current bill. I’m still paying too but obviously the faster the better so I can make the deposit. Anything helps.
