I recently lost my apt because my lease ended and I got laid off from my job. I just started school back at UMGC after 10 years and my financial aid is on hold because of my high school transcripts which I have already sent. I have no money, no shelter and no food. Luckily I was able to find a friend to foster my pup until I can get my head back above water. I'm just trying to stay positive.

I started my own pool company last year but business was slow and i took a loss. The season hasn't really started yet this year.

I have no family as they have all passed on. Most of my friends can't help because they have their own to take care of and the economy is horrible at the moment.

Any help and conversation/advice is much appreciated

I reside in Norfolk Virginia $ianmgregory

I hope whoever reads this is doing well and God bless.

Wrongful conviction awareness

5 Upvotes

I am starting this fundraiser on behalf of my brother, Jose, who has been fighting a wrongful conviction for over 10 years and to this day continues to fight to get justice for himself and other who have been wrongfully convicted.

Support our fundraiser to raise awareness of wrongful convictions. We are launching a fundraiser to shed light on the critical issue that is wrongful convictions. Many legislators and members of the public are not fully aware of the term "wrongful conviction" and the devastating impact it has on innocent lives. To address this, we are seeking your generous donations to purchase copies of Jessica Henry's book, "Smoke But No Fire: Convicting the Innocent of Crimes that Never Happened." In this book Jessica Henry offers a powerfully enlightening perspective of wrongful convictions and gives imperative information on the topic.

In order to raise awareness, we plan to distribute her book to legislators attending an art exhibition at the Marin County Civic Center. This exhibition will be held August 2024 and is in collaboration with the People's Commissions for Integrity and Criminal Justice and the Life on Art Organization. Along with work by my brother, it will include art, poems, and personal writings of other prisoners who were wrongfully convicted, offering a profound insight into their experiences and educating the public and attending politicians about the realities of wrongful convictions. Your support can make a significant difference in educating our community and lawmakers about this crucial issue. Our goal is to raise at least $1,150 by the end of July to buy 40 copies of this essential book. Transparency will be a high priority and we will share updates through the process. Please help us in bringing the necessary attention to this often-overlooked issue and in bringing justice to those who have been wrongfully convicted. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to justice.

{request} *Desperate plea for help, please read, this time sensitive. Stafford, VA.

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I never thought I’d be posting something like this, but I’m in a really desperate situation and I’m hoping someone out there can help.

I’m 54, and in the last year, I’ve lost seven loved ones, which has put me in a severe financial crunch because I’ve been trying to help out with the costs. Today at 5 am , my ex-daughter-in-law showed up and asked me to take care of my granddaughter because she can’t afford to and also gave me the info for my son’s storage unit, which is going to auction at 11:30 am EST today. Inside are my granddaughter’s baby items and my son’s personal belongings, which are incredibly sentimental to me right now.

I am kindly asking for 486 to stop the auction, because I’m out of options. I’ve tried all the cash apps, but because it’s a same-day thing, they’re not available. I even tried for a loan but got turned down, and I can’t get a hold of anyone at the storage unit. I don’t have the money for an attorney to help either, and the clock is ticking. If anyone is able to do a request of any amount, the total I need is $486.

I’ve been on Reddit for 7 years, but other communities require karma points that I don’t have, even though I’ve been active for a long time. So, I’m turning to this community in the hopes that someone here can help.

I’m really devastated by everything that’s happening, and I won’t let my granddaughter end up in foster care. I just need a bit of help to get through stop this auction. If anyone can help me cover this bill, I am able to repay it in 2 installments: the first on June 28, 2024, and the second on July 5, 2024. I’ll also add $100 as a thank you for your kindness.

I’ve never done anything like this before, and I stumbled upon this sub by chance. I’m really hoping for a miracle. If anyone can help, I would be so grateful.

Thank you for reading.

Snoopy, 6 month old cat needs operation

5 Upvotes

I’m a student in Germany. I have a 6 months old cat, Snoopy. He means everything to me. He makes me smile every day and I can’t stop playing with him. I love him so much. Snoopy's health has taken a sudden turn for the worse, and he requires an immediate operation to save his life. We went to different doctors in the last couple of days and made multiple tests, that have already cost me more than 1000€. I was really optimistic, that he will be fine. The tests were really positive. But apparently, he has an intestinal obstruction. The doctor said the operation will cost around 2500€. I just don’t have the money to pay for the operation. Snoopy doesn’t want to die. He is even now, eating and drinking again. But he is not able to go to toilet to release it. He will throw up the food instead. He is so intelligent. He knows that I want to help him. Every time I give him medicine, he hates it so much, but still he lets me do it. I feel so terrible, that I can’t help him. I want him to be happy and healthy again. He is so young and I feel that everything is my fault. He doesn’t deserve to die. Snoopy is the most intelligence cat ever. If he wants to something, he always shows what it is. If he wants to play, he will tap the toy. If he wants a massage, he will go the massage pistole (I am really careful with it). I know, I am asking for a lot. He really needs the operation and I am desperate. I appreciate every bit of help. Please help saving Snoopy. Thank you!

[Request] Need help with overdue power bill (Beaverton, OR)

6 Upvotes

I hate to do this, but we had a breakdown with our van a month ago, which meant we had to use money for our power bill to pay for it. Because of the heat and no central air, our power bill is huge.

I applied for assistance but they have shut down currently. The van breaking really cut into our already limited budget and we're now very much in the negative that it's putting our ability to pay rent in danger.

Our current power bill is $455, and I can provide proof if needed with a redacted bill.

Thank you for any assistance!

I have been desperately trying to get another job to no avail, and I don't know what to do!

[Request] A very small, seemingly unimportant request of Netflix for my son.

3 Upvotes

So this may seem quite a bit less important than your typical request, but it would make a huge difference in my son's life.

I have been out of work for almost 7 months. Gratefully I finally landed a new job last week. The issue is I don't get my first check until this coming Friday. My Netflix account was just turned off. My son is really upset about this. Besides the loss of a job, I am also going through a divorce, and this has been very hard on my 5 year old boy. I'm struggling to maintain as much a sense of normalcy as I can, and to now suddenly have his only form of entertainment (besides playing or books of course) be taken away...well he's having a hard time. I'm trying to land a $15 gift card so that I can keep up things as normal for him until I get paid. If you're at all willing to help I would be so grateful.

The cheapest way I have found to do this is through PayPal gifts. https://www.paypal-gifts.com/us/brands/netflix.html

If you are willing, please PM me and I will give you my email.

Thanks for reading.

[REQUEST] Need a logistical favour.

7 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm homeless without a permanent address, though I have a small source of online income which I use to raise small amounts of money.

I have nowhere to go tonight. I have just been paid £25 into my PayPal, which will secure me a hostel for a night. Thing is, nowhere accepts PayPal payment and it'll take the sum 3-5 business days to transfer to my bank account.

I was wondering if I could transfer the cost of a night at the hostel to somebody's PayPal, and they could then book it on my behalf? So I guess the request is monetary, but I'll send over the amount before you book so you're at no risk of losing anything.

Thanks for reading! PLEASE HELP ME! I'd really like a bed tonight.

EDIT: It's fine if you can only do this once, but I'd really like to find somebody who'd be willing to help me out with this continually. I wish PayPal just gave you instant access to physical cash when you wanted it, but alas.

TL;DR: Homeless. I transfer money to your PayPal, you then use it to book me a hostel. Can't book using PayPal, to transfer to bank takes 3-5 business days.

[REQUEST] Single mom needs lots of help!

Hi everyone...

My mom is a single mother that is battling cancer. She lost her job in September and in November was diagnosed. She will begin chemo tomorrow and unfortunately will remain unemployed until this long road is over and she is well enough to work. She is about to face being evicted because she does not have enough money to pay rent. Her sole income is currently from donations (it is a long story but she is in the process of disability). If she loses the house then she and my sister will be forced to move in with my grandmother...ultimately forcing my sister to change schools again. She cries everyday knowing that she might have to move again and try to make new friends (she is slightly special needs and this is very difficult for her).

I am posting a link to my mom's Go Fund Me account, please feel free to pass the link around and share it with friends. We do not usually like asking for help, but we are in a situation where it is needed... gofundme.com/h31koc

Stugging for holidays cause of Cancer

It has been about 9 months since Kelly started Immunotherapy for stage 3 melanoma. She is doing alright, and recent scans show all clear! She still has 4 more months of chemo, and still cannot work. Between the surgeries and chemo, and 3 small children to take care of, it's been very stressful, both emotionally and financially. With the holidays approaching, we just want to be able to make this Christmas great for the children. They have also been through SO much, watching all of this happen to their mother. If you can help at all, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you all so much for everything that you've already done! This is our link we Setup when she first found out to support us for a few months while she was going to be out of work. Not knowing at that time she wouldn't be able to return back to work for over a year. I am a hard working individual, I am up all night with our infant so she can rest and than I get up for work at 630am- 6pm. Just to do it all over again. Anything helps to just make sure these two boys and little girl have a wonderful Christmas. Garrett is 8 and likes skateboarding and minecraft and video games Jaxin is 4 and likes Cars, Hot wheels and dinosaurs. Ava is our 9 month old daughter who wears size 12 month clothes already and she is just the sweetest little redhead. If you can't help.

  • I've been trying to find these two kittens homes for about 2 months now...nobody seems to want them. I am looking for people that live In SC, or near SC (within 4-6 hours drive) that would be willing to take these babies and give them a good home. Here is some information:

  • There are actually 3 kittens but we decided to keep one. Felix is the orange one, and Raven is the black one pictured. Felix is the sibling to the kitten we decided to keep.

  • A little information about Felix: When he was four weeks old Felix had an eye infection so I took him to the vet. If it wasn't for me the poor guy would have died. His eye hasn't healed properly...and I don't know if it ever will. Felix loves to play with toys and he will grab a toy and growl at it like a dog, because it's his toy and you best not mess with it. He will also chase his tail & he plays monkey in the cage we have him in. (Uses his paws to move on the ceiling of the cage). He's quite playful, very sweet, and very friendly. Litter trained & has had several vet visits.

  • A little information about Raven: Raven is a wild kitten we found outside our apartment complex. Originally we only had 2 rescues, it became 3. He was very scrawny and malnourish and I don't think he would have made it if it wasn't for me. He had a sibling but we never could find the sibling... He's a little tird. He's sneaky, very playful, and cute. He's a little mischevious bugger but I believe he'd make a good pet for someone.

  • What I have tried and have done: I've taken all three kittens to the vet twice, I've dewormed them, I'm about to go get them pet armor because they have flea (Raven brought them in). I hadn't done that before because they were too little...They've been given food & water and taken care of since they were about 4 weeks old and they are healhty. I have posted an ad in a newspaper, posted on Sumter pets, posted on facebook, Posted on craigslist, called around animal shelters, tried the spca only to be told that my kittens would most likely be put to sleep, ect. I can't seem to find ANYONE who would be willing to give these guys a loving home! At this point I'm getting desperate. They are growing up...soon they won't be little anymore and I worry nobody will want them :(

  • Each kitten comes with a grab bag: Several toys, a blanket, a zip lock bag full of food. They are good to a good home...in SC, Georgia, Any place around me that's within a 6 hour or less drive. I'm willing to travel....if you're willing to be a good home for my babies. Anyone who adopts them can always ask me for assistance if they need anything, and if they can't take care of them anymore I would ask that they please call me so I can take them back and try to rehome them again...

  • My situation: I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and we already have 2 cats, keeping a 3rd is already a bit too much....I also only make $9.75 an hour and I've been out of work for a week due to illness... I really can't keep up with these guys & making sure they are okay. I can't afford it and I don't have the space. I want to keep them, because I love them, but I cannot provide for them what they need.... I'm sure Felix might still need some medical assistance....

Is anyone willing to give these guys a home? Thanks...
