MINNESOTA : I've only ever donated, I can't bring myself to ask for what I need generally I just wing it. But my husband had a triple bypass this week and he was responsible for half our income. He will be convalescing for a while and recovery time is 6 to 8 weeks. I thank God he's survived! My savings have gotten me through the worst, but I'm looking for a generous soul to lend or donate 40 to 50 dollars USD to feed a big dog, buy basic hygiene items and some sandwich fixings for the week. It's been an awful time, and help appreciated. I only have venmo and zelle.

God bless and thank you for reading my story.

Edited for typos.

Ps: I understand that no one can help. It's sucks out there. But I'm vulnerable, I'm smart... Please stop trying to scam me. I am in a bad place, why make it worse? I have no more faith in humanity, brings me to tears. Shame on some of you.

My food stamps are out for the month and I don't want to cook with the same ingredients as yesterday. I'm also out of cat litter. Can anyone help me out? I have venmo, cash app and paypal. Just $20 would do fine but any amount helps.

This is another repost. Hope someone can help.

Had a bout of unfortunate events, and the last one with my brother getting into an accident.

Helped him by taking on additional part time work, but with his medical needs, I kind of neglected my own and now I am facing eviction for non payment of my own rent

Seeking help to pay off the rent I owe (2 months) hopefully just one time, to make sure I still have a home.

Amount is 22k in philippine pesos, about 450USD. The landlord can accept cash payments and deposits but it has to be the full amount

Thank you in advance.

I am still posting these!

In the midst of a big life transition but I still make the time to post these here and there. I hope that whoever reads them has their spirits lifted even a little. Remember, we're all in this together, all of humanity.

I care even if I don't know who you are. Don't give up.

I am 29, f in Alberta Canada. I have been on disability due to mental health and so far undiagnosed physical health problems for nearly a year. My disability barely covers my bills so I’ve had to go into debt to be able to feed my 8y/o daughter. Anytime I start to catch up something comes up and I’m back to being in debt. I’ve asked for financial assistance but I ‘make too much’ to qualify- same with food bank. I’m looking for someone to be kind and able to help me get out of this cycle and back on track. I have debt due in a couple days I can’t afford and I certainly won’t be able to pay my rent at the end of the month. The financial distress is making it very difficult for my mental health and recovery and I would really appreciate any help that can be offered. Thank you to all the wonderful people even willing to read this ✌️

I am currently employed (and have been for almost a year and a half) at a sober home in Tulsa, OK that will unfortunately be closing their doors soon and am looking for the same position elsewhere. I have four years of sobriety from alcohol and drugs and desperately want to continue to help women heal and grow from their own addictions and struggles. I absolutely love what I do here and hope to be able to stay in the field. My current employer, present, and past residents will be happy to give glowing references about my compassion and desire for women and their recovery as well as my drive to maintain a clean and sober home. I also have lots of experience with home maintenance and remodeling and am known around my current home as Miss Fixit and have made multiple repairs in the current home as things have inevitably gotten broken or worn. I also have some experience within the medical field as I was an ER technician for a few years in my twenties so I am able to keep a cool head in emergency situations as well as provide basic medical care should the need arise. If there is anyone that could get back to me about if an organization hiring or maybe a lead to somewhere that needs a women's house manager please shoot me a message. I'm pretty desperate to find a similar position as this home closing basically leaves me homeless. I can relocate anywhere so if it's out if state that's fine too- I'm open to ideas fellow Redditors, I just thought I'd put some feelers out there and see if anyone knows anything. Happy new year guys! Tldr: Sober living house manager in need of same position since the current one is closing and I'm about to be on the street

Waiting to start a new job. Meanwhile, I ran out of money for groceries this week, would mean a lot if someone could help me while I wait to start. Can answer questions if needed. Message me for details.

Edit: Someone was very gracious in helping me with getting some dog food. Thank you again for those who read and considered, and the person who sent assistance. I appreciate you all.

Long story short, I've been out of work since January of this year. Thanks to the Choctaw's and EBT, I've been able to stay up on my rent/utilities, and keep food in the house. Full disclosure, I am a vet. I got out in 2011. Shortly after I got out, someone did help me from reddit get groceries once when I was looking for work. Outside of that, I've never asked for any help.

I've been doing side jobs when I can to afford "extras"... extra's being hygiene products that EBT doesn't cover and food for my 2 dogs and cat.

I start a new job soon. Just waiting to be scheduled for my physical and drug screening (which I'll pass both no issues), then it's whenever their next orientation is. So I could be a few weeks until I see my first pay check. My dogs are officially out of dog food. The past couple of days, I've just been cooking extra and sharing. But obviously this isn't ideal. It's not very feasible nor is it super healthy for them.

I have two German Shepard's (A one year old and a two year old). Wal-Mart sells a 50lb Purina Dog Chow for about $22-$23. If someone could help me with this, it'd be greatly appreciated. One bag, lasts both my dogs nearly a month, so by the time it's running low, I should be receiving my first pay check and be back on track. It's been a very rough 2021, but things are slowly turning around... just need a little extra push to get through it and be good.

If you're not comfortable giving money via paypal, that's fine. I can give you my address if you'd rather order it yourself. If you have any questions about anything, please let me know. I'll do my best to answer any of them.

Thank you for at least considering.

Hey folks. I'm in Lexington NC and I'm currently homeless. I'm in an abandoned house that I'm allowed to be in, walls and a roof so I'm good.

Over the last 3 says 2 young ladies have shown up here running from abusive situations. My house was a safe place before I became homeless and everyone knows I do what I can to help people.

The boyfriend if one of them took her phone and all her money when she left him. Because that's what douche canoes do.I guess. She has a job and is supposed to start second.next week, but she really needs a phone and one month service, after that she will be able to keep the service.

There is a Cricket store within walking distance and a Dollar General. The Dollar General has some decent phones and I'm pretty sure a phone and plan can be purchased for around $50--$60, where as Cricket would be about $85-$90, but of course it's a better phone.

Both places know me and know I'm not on drugs nor do I drink, and would be willing to take a payment on the phone. Dollar General would be the cheapest and the easiest.

I have known this young lady for about 4 months or so and she is hardworking, smart and not built for life on the streets. Right now she needs some help. She's really down and thinks this is a waste of time. She doesn't believe anyone cares. It breaks my heart for her.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I’m not sure how to start this so I’ll just keep it simple. We are from Winnipeg Manitoba , in Canada and my father was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS approximately two years ago now and is now starting to face some of the more unpleasant symptoms. As he declines, the out of pocket costs for my parents will become significant. I’m trying to raise money to help them with those out of pocket costs. ALL money goes straight towards my parents and their needs. I know this is a long shot and I don’t really expect anything out of it but I have to try for my dad. A BIG thank you if anyone is able to donate and thanks for reading guys, may everyone of you have a wonderful life.

[REQUEST] I am 21 years and I was under my parents' auto insurance. From 2019 to early 2020 i was paying my mom $350. After awhile my mom decided to charge only $250 ( i thought she was doing me a favor so i was very grateful ).

Turns out my insurance was only $125.66. So, I have been paying majority of my parents' insurance without knowing.

All the money I lost to her could have helped me to get an apartment. I am currently looking for new car insurance because I need to remove myself in order to heal from this betrayal.

update: I have recently removed myself off all of the family plans, including car insurance. The auto insurance company will not let me receive a refund when it was only active 3 days ... instead they gave my mother a $200 credit on the account. Now, my mother will not give me the money back even though I am off her account.

I am requesting for $500 to pay bills such as car insurance and car note.

Anything helps even advice. I accept cashapp $biggiebej

P.S. i do not want to sue my mother, i do not have the funds to do so.

Hey, I'm 24 and I'm looking for monetary help. I was falsely accused last year, and I'm finally getting my life back together. Got a car again, and have a job, while working on getting a second one. Its been a long road, and due to unpaid holidays at my job, getting food poisoning and bad mental health, it's been a very rough month. I'm hoping that the second job will stabilize me, and allow me to build up some savings. I live in Alabama, in the US. I appreciate anything that is sent my way. Thank you to all of you.

I posted in here a couple weeks ago because I was in a car accident where my vehicle was totaled and my grandmother loaned me money to get a beater car while I wait on the lawyers & insurance to get the settlement.

I was helped by an amazing person who also is an animal lover and was able to get the cat food & spark plugs.

The car continued to have issues and I worked day and night in it trying to figure it out.

Proof- Broken PCV hose & Cost of at the only store with it in-stock

It’s my PCV hose. Only one place has it in stock everywhere else it has to be shipped. I can not get the title or registration to the car until I have emissions done. I’m currently longboarding everywhere in this heat back and forth while working in the car and doing errands, plus I have POTS/Dysautonomia and hEDS, so it hasn’t been easy. I need the car to run. I can’t even go to work.

The PCV hose is $37.99 but accounting for tax and whatever fee the P2P apps charge to withdraw I put the total at $45 to be safe.

I have PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle, etc. I’d be so grateful for any help, even $1-$5 so I can get this done and get on the road back to work. I will then be paying it forward with my next paycheck.

Thank you!

Medical and transportation bills all piled up on me this week. Can someone help me out with $100 to avoid getting hit with the insufficient funds fees. I’m located in Texas and have Venmo and PayPal. Anything is appreciated.

Hi, I have a bill due tonight by 10pm and located in Texas. I’m short $45 and I’m on payment plan so it’ll be taken regardless but I’m trying to prevent my account from being overdrawn. Any help would be appreciated. I have PayPal and Venmo. Please no PMs til after we are able to confirm something.

I have a friend and I share his dream of wanting to be completely self sufficient, and be a hermit that lives in nature.

I believe doing so will require early retirement, and having enough money to live the rest of your life comfortably.

He however wants to do exactly what Chris McCandless did, sell everything he owns, and walk into the wilds of Alaska and survive.

I think this is a terrible idea, and will most likely lead to his death just like it did Chris McCandless.

He argues just because some idiot in a movie died doesn't mean he will.

He has no wilderness survival training, and plans on taking the bare minimum of supplies.

I've tried to explain to him that you need to boil water you get from streams due to protozoa, amoebas, parasites, fungi, viruses and bacteria etc. He says if the water is cold it's fine.

I've tried to explain game meat is full of parasites and must be cooked well. Not only this but there is an epidemic of prion diseases in wildlife recently that cannot be killed via cooking the meat, not to mention rabies virus, etc.

He is going to have to worry about Lyme disease from ticks, bear, wolf, and coyote attacks, and all kinds of stuff.

Having no cellphone to call for help, no stockpiles of food or medicine, no way to reach civilization, and no healthcare if he did make it back.

You also have to contend with the department of natural resources, game wardens, fish and wildlife, forest service officers. They will not just let you squat on public land and if you are found you'll be arrested.

What happens when winter comes and you don't have enough food stored up?

There are a million reasons why I think this is a terrible idea, but I cannot seem to reach my friend.

He seems dead set on this idea that Chris McCandless was just an idiot and he won't share his fate.

Please Reddit, help me come up with ideas on why this is a terrible idea and won't work.

I need my friend to understand this is not a smart move.

Hi! I’m looking for help getting my dad to his physical therapy appointment tomorrow . He’s a stroke patient and recently started therapy. Our ride canceled on us a few hours ago. We’ve applied for a public transportation assistance program for the disabled but it hasn’t been approved yet because we have to go for an in-person interview at the main office, which is scheduled for the 24th. The clinic is a ways from where we live. When I calculate into the Uber app it shows between $24-$25 both ways. We are in Texas. I have PayPal and Venmo. I’ve had helped from here before so I thought I’d give it a shot. If not, I totally understand. Good luck to anyone that needs help and thank you for reading this.

Hello everyone I just got a job with a direct care agency working for people in their homes and they hired me but I have to get my license re-established. Can anybody help me with the $40 to get my license,, God bless

I'm starting a network of people to connect those who need temporary housing or storage with people who have a bed, couch, shower, garage, or closet to spare. Many people are going to lose family heirlooms because they will have no place to keep them when they become homeless. Many families will be split up because it's too hard to find a place to stay with children. Conversely, a lot of people have a garage that they could lock the door of and feel safe while they provide a family the ability to stay together - or a shed that they can lock for someone who needs to store their family albums.

I'm compiling a map and database of people who need storage or a stay and people who have storage or a stay available to help. Please, join the effort to fight the horrible effects that COVID is having on our society. If you need a place to stay or keep your things, let me know. And if you have ANY spare space, whether it's just to make coffee in the morning or let someone keep their car in your driveway, PLEASE let me know. We can get through this if we all work together!

One woman in Seattle, named Lisa, is our first applicant and still has not found a place. She loves pets, has three jobs in order to save for an apartment, and would love to even have a place to park in someone's driveway. Can you help her?

Email covidhomelessactionplan@gmail.com to get involved. And thank you!

I'll be straightforward here. You guys have been a godsend this month and if it weren't desperate times I wouldn't be asking for more help. I feel greedy and terrible asking for more than we've already been given but now is not the time for pride. I don't know what else to do. I'm on the verge of tears. Every time things seem to be looking up something happens to knock me off my feet again.

My family of four, plus our two furry friends, is going through some trying times. My husband has been out of work with a broken hip and then thanks to Covid could not go back to work once he healed. Money has been getting tighter and tighter and now all our savings are gone.

Things were looking like they were going to be okay but now this ice storm is threatening to hit my corner of the country and the governor is warning us about upcoming power outages. We're in a slightly better position than Texas, thank God but we are still facing up to an inch of ice and below freezing temperatures. We have a little shelf stable food but not much. We do not own a generator. We have a fireplace but no firewood.

I'm desperate for whatever help people can offer. I ordinarily would never ask for cash but this is a last ditch effort to be able to go shopping tomorrow to stock up on essentials, as well as fill our tank with gas. In addition to food, we need flashlights. Batteries. A power bank for the phone. Extra blankets. A stock of pet food. Water. A hand crank radio.

None of which we can afford.

I'm looking for a miracle. We'd be grateful for anything you can spare. I have Venmo and Cashapp.

(Please no scammers. It's heartbreaking to be offered help, only to realize all you really want to do is try to take the last ten bucks out of my account. I know the signs and you WILL be reported.)

That said, any real virtual work offers are appreciated.

Thank you

Long story short I have a job starting at the end of the month and while I was jobless I sold almost everything to pay rent and Bill's. But I was unable to pay for my electric which is 200 USD but I was able to talk them to give me a week and pay 75 USD. But that lasts until the 22nd then we are out of power and in turn I'll be out of a job.

I am in kileen, tx and I've already tried local churches and called everyone I could find. So if someone can just help with the minimum we can survive.

Thank you for your time

Hello, I just recently found a new job but was furloughed due to COVID-19 before I could even work my first shift. I luckily had a little bit in savings and have been trying to safely work on my side hustle of local online sales but I'm running out of funds and more importantly food & water. I've been trying to stretch my food as much as I can by eating smaller and fewer meals but I've got about two, maybe three days of food and water left. The tap water not just in my home but my County is also not fit for consumption, filtered and/or boiled, due to arsenic contamination and it being naturally hard water with high levels of calcium and magnesium. I'm hoping I could get some assistance to get me through these trying times until my Stimulus Check arrives.

I've created a large list on Amazon, I don't expect everything on it to be purchased I just thought it would be better to have a variety of items it case something becomes unavailable. My Area Code is 86442.

Thank you to anyone that reads this and I wish you safety and security during these difficult times.

My List on Amazon

( You could drop some spare change into our PayPal account if you're unable to buy the cross stitches but would like to help us out: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SketchyRae/00USD/ )

Final update Jan' 28: The cross-stitch artworks are all discounted by 50% but none of them are sold yet, we also haven't received any donations here.

You can still buy a cross-stitch artwork to help us recover sooner. (This is only one of the debts we have; we still have a slightly-outstanding water bill plus accumulated personal loans to pay off..)

My sister managed to make $83 more in the past week: one is $34 the other is $47 plus a $2 donation from a friend. This was completely unexpected and lucky for us considering the dry season within the art community.

Her art commissions combined with my mum's chicken sales helped us pay off about $120 in electric bills. Luckily, our electricity wasn't cut from the 15th to the 28th as there's currently a potential outbreak in the next town nearby. (One positive case five minutes away from our neighborhood, as far as I know..)

Since our electricity's up for the next couple of months or so, I think that that is all for now.

Thank you for your support and considerations!

[Jan' 15] No donations or purchases yet, but my sister made $45 from an art commission which is her first one in six weeks. We only need at least $80 more to prevent our electricity from disconnecting this month!

My mum said that the electricity guy was ordered to cut our electricity because we've only been able to pay one bill each time to extend the disconnection date (she thought that paying a bill in excess wasn't an option), so he advised us to pay at least one bill+30% more every month to completely eliminate the chance of disconnection and reduce our outstanding bills over time.

It was supposedly due since Jan' 4, but the electricity guy didn't come back since he handed us the disconnection notice. I think it was because COVID worsened in my city so he couldn't go house-to-house to do his job, (checking power meters, disconnecting powers, giving out bills/notices, etc) it happened before back in May 2020.

We're feeling incredibly lucky to not have our electricity cut right now, but we're also living in constant fear for our power supply..

[Jan' 11] We live in the Philippines where monthly welfare checks are only $120 and they're strictly given to families that earn less than $60 per month. But me, my sister, and my mum's freelance jobs have been hugely affected by the pandemic plus the post new year which drastically decreased our client demand. (My sister and I work as digital artists, and my mum runs a small hatchery farm.)

The accumulated debt pushed us into choosing between eating 1 meal a day to pay the bills, or eat two meals per day and risk getting our utilities cut.

The cross stitch artworks are on my ebay: https://www.ebay.com/usr/jadelikejay

Prices are calculated by 1¢ per stitch plus 15% extra for the labor. (Except for the largest one, that one is discounted by $200.)

The bills are our main priority since we need electricity to work, but any extra funds would give us more leeway while we continue to look for clients on our own; January is usually where the demand for art commissions is at its lowest, but we've never experienced anything like this before. Hopefully, there will be more clients for us from mid-February through April.

I can send pictures of the disconnection notice and the bills that weren't paid yet. And if anyone orders, we'll pack the product and ship it in a mailing tube, and we'll send pictures of it to the buyer as proof. (Hopefully with a tracking link as well.)
