Need gas for critical task (WA)

3 Upvotes

[REQUEST]

Hello everyone,

I need a few gallons of gas this morning. I must go move my stored RV or it will be impounded.

I'm an unemployed elder. I've had a very hard time gaining employment. Over 2000 applications to date. I have skills and do well on phone interviews. But my age is disqualifying me. It's awful.

Some history. I lost my job, followed by my home. I purchased a used RV hoping to use it when I found work. It's stored.

I must move it today or it will be impounded. It's 100 miles from my location. I need gas to travel there. Can anyone help me? 4 Gallons would cover it. I have no income. I'm located in King County Washington. RV is in Lewis County 100 miles south. This must be done today. I just need to get there and all is good.

I have PayPal debit card. And other means.

Please, if you can help I'd be grateful, and you would gain a remote computer tech for as long as I can work. I have over 35 years in information technology. Support mostly.

Also, I want to work. IT is my career, but I can do many things.

Please help, I have only a few hours to travel there. I may have to jump start the motorhome, etc. I'm moving it a couple of miles to a new storage place.

Thanks for considering.

Help for me & my beautiful 15 year old mainecoon furbaby

3 Upvotes

I am a 39 year old female in Mt.Laurel, NJ. I have been on my own & working 70-100 hours a week since I was 16... literally on my own as in no help from family & the only time I had help was with my ex, but after a few years he secretly got addicted to percocets. I always gave him half the bill/rent money and he would pay the bills but once he got addicted (which I didn't know about) he wasn't paying anything & was keeping my money. I finally had to leave and got my own apartment. For years, I had some health issues that progressively got worse but I couldn't afford to take off of work to go see doctors. Finally, it got so bad I had to quit and I figured it would take 4-8 weeks MAX to get diagnosed & treated. I was wrong. It has been 6 months and it's not all figured out and the parts that are aren't totally managed yet so I lost my apartment. I got some help from friends to get my cat (Marco) and I a motel. Then, I started receiving money from my ex employer because he got audited for not paying us properly so I've been surviving off that. I get it about every 6 weeks. I am out of money and don't get my check from my ex employer through the state for about another week. As for my medical issues, the biggest diagnosed issued is Severe Gastroparesis. I take a bunch of meds and have now had botox injected internally into my stomach twice. Anyway, I am waiting for disability to get approved but that takes awhile. I do get food stamps. I'm just looking for any help for my cat Marco & I to survive and keep a roof over our heads til next week please. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Edit: Also, I can show any proof of my medical issues. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it so much. More than you'll ever know. I feel so low that I even had to do this but it's mostly for my furbaby. I've always worked so hard to be independent and I can't believe this is happening. If anyone can help, I have Venmo, PayPal & CashApp. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to read this & possibly help me.

Wrongful conviction awareness

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.

Title 1 Kindergarten Teacher Amazon Wishlist

Hello everyone!

I am headed back into the traditional general education classroom in a new district this upcoming school year and am in need of some classroom donations! Due to the student economic demographics of the school district, we as a school do not send home school supply lists, just donation requests. Our district provides us with the bare minimum essentials and all other materials are at teacher cost. Prior to this role I worked in special education in various roles, with various age groups and need levels. My classroom will be differentiated and supported for the needs of the student, even at a general education level. I’m also including time for dramatic play learning and flexible seating. There will also be a block of time for “brain resting” where students can nap or simply rest and recharge. I know my Amazon wishlist is quite the list and do not expect it to be completely filled but any donations will be greatly appreciated!

[REQUEST] Bartender and writer nearly out of the woods, need shelter

3 Upvotes

Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

My partner and I found temporary accommodation and we need to extend our stay until I get paid by my new clients (next Wednesday) and he starts his new job (final interview tomorrow!).

After a year of homelessness–we met in the middle of this nightmare–, we’re finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve got work as a copywriter again and landed new clients this past week. I've got an interview in the morning (it's almost 1AM here). Recruiters in hospitality have been reaching out to my partner. But we need a little time.

We need USD165 to book 8 nights for two people from Wednesday, 3 until Thursday, 11 July.

I can provide the Booking.com link in DM, as well as answer any questions you might have about our request.

Update July 2:

My partner just returned from his interview and he starts a training shift on Friday.

We have to be separated because we can't find accommodation for the two of us. A family member will take me in but not him because we're not legally married, so "living in sin."

We need to get him a place to sleep until Wednesday next week when we are both paid again. And then we can be safe together.

We only need half of the above-mentioned amount (USD85) for him to be safe. I use PayPal, Wise, and AirTM if you are able to help us.

Broke after two brain injuries and have to pay more medical bills

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Last year I had two brain injuries. One in April and one in June. I developed Insomnia in July. I had to take medical leave to get better because I had 24/7 head pain and lots of naseua because of my 2nd brain injury. I went back to work for about a month but fainted in a starbucks and hit my head for a 3rd time so I had to be laid off my job. In January of this year I was awake for 22 days straight and that spiraled into a bunch of medical issues. Chest pain, more head pain than normal, vomiting, severe tremors, serotonin syndrome, weak neck/head/lungs, muscle loss, excess urination, blurry vision, and more symptoms that are probably TMI. I am now broke because of medical issues and I need to raise money to get TMS therapy to attempt to fix my brain as well as pay for other medical bills that still need to be paid. I also have other bills such as car insurance that need paid. I am a 30 year old and thought I'd have a long life to live but every day in 2024 I have felt so bad that I feel like I could pass away at any given moment. I have to pay medical bills so I can keep working towards getting better. Unfortunately I am in a condition where I can't work. I don't know where to look other than setting up this fundraiser. The money will used to pay for medical bills, medical treatments, and other bills like car insurance and rent. Thank you so much! Even if everyone reading this donated a dollar it would help tremendously!

[REQUEST] Urgent Help Needed: Help save my Home from Foreclosure

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My name is Marco, and I'm deaf and disabled. I struggle to make ends meet with my disability pension and a part-time job. I'm desperate and don't want to lose my family home located in Italy with 40 years of cherished memories.

Recently, we received a judge's letter stating that our family home has been given to the bank, and we have 24 months to leave. However, we have 5 months to settle this off-court.

My grandma, a retired psychologist and teacher, is devastated. This crisis has been unfolding since I was 10, and now at 25, it's reached a critical point. The debt originated from my late grandfather's construction business. Despite my grandma's advice to declare bankruptcy, he mortgaged our home instead. Now, my grandma and I are left to deal with the aftermath.

If we can reach our goal of €30,000, we can help her by selling the garage to my uncle and using the rest of the saved money to buy the house before it goes to auction.

Please, any help or sharing of our GoFundMe campaign would be deeply appreciated. Let's show my grandma that there is still kindness and hope in the world.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

Hi all, like the title says. My car has been very slow to start the past week or so and my dash is lighting up saying service power steering(2015 Chevy Cruze LT), which is a common indicator of dying battery apparently. Battery is 3 years old, a year past the warranty I had on it unfortunately.

Right now I have about $40 cash to my name, and the cheapest option I can find for my car is Walmart for ~$110. If anyone has either advice about where I can go for cheaper or the funds to help me cover this, either would be immensely appreciated. Thank you

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.

My fiance and I receieved a letter certified in the mail that said we have to pay our back taxes or theyre going to sell my home. I am 46f, unable to work due to Rheumatoid Arthritis and many mental illnesses (Ptsd, severe anxiety and depression, bpd, panic disorder) My psychiatrist signed a paper for Social Security saying thar I am unable to work. I actually finally got my hearing day today. September 16th. I also have bad gastro intestinal problems so leaving the house is sometimes so hard for me. Im on pain in some kind of way every single day. I have not worked in 4 years now.

My fiance, 51m,works 40 hours a week (on a broken foot because we cant afford no income right now. He needs surgery badley) but once we pay bills and vet necessities, it seems like our car breaks down. We drive a 2006 VW Jetta.

The amount is $2563.60. I absolutely do not expect large amounts. I really dont. I really dpnt EXPECT any donations. That would feel selfish of me. What I do hope is this reaches enough people that even is 2563 people gave me $1, it would be enough.

This is really hard for us as we dont like to ask for help of any kind.

I will share the letter we received as proof as well as my cashtag. Thank you to anyone who even just reads this, that alone means a lot to me ❤️

[REQUEST] Need help covering last bit of rent (Vancouver, BC, Canada)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out because I find myself in an incredibly tough position and I could really use some help. I’ve been unemployed for a while now and have been trying my absolute best to find a job. I’ve applied to countless positions, revised my resume numerous times, and always tailor my resume and cover letter to each job description. Despite my efforts, nothing has worked out so far, and it’s been incredibly disheartening, especially since I’m not financially stable at the moment.

I’m earning a bit of money through Prolific, but it’s just not enough to cover all my expenses. I also started working on commission last month by helping my landlord rent out his properties. While I managed to cover my rent last month with this income, it’s only 8% of the total sale. To explain, I helped rent out three properties since I started helping him in April, and the total commission I earned was $744, which covered my rent for April.

However, I pay $1000 in rent, and unfortunately, this month I’m falling short by $250. My landlord has been understanding and has given me several extensions, but now he needs me to pay the rent immediately. I’ve already asked friends and family for help, but unfortunately, no one is in a position to assist me.

I’m really at my wit’s end and don’t know where else to turn, so I’m reaching out to this community. If anyone could help me cover the remaining $250 for this month’s rent, I would be eternally grateful. Even a small amount would make a huge difference.

Thank you all in advance for your kindness and support.

My friend's mom Angela has lost her social security and insurance and needs temporal lobe surgery to get a brain lesion out, or else she is going to die. We are in Lawrence, Kansas. This has been a last resort reaching out to the public; Noah and his mother are drowning in this problem and they are seriously about to lose everything. If you don't wish to donate please share this somewhere, he needs serious help now or this epilepsy will result in permanent cognitive disability if it doesn't kill her first.

I am also a survivor of the same disorder resulting from a brain lesion, so this is near and dear to my heart as well, and I still cannot imagine being in Angela's position.
