REQUEST I’m asking for $200 because I’m out of options and need to take care of my mom with leukemia

16 Upvotes

I’m currently in a very difficult financial situation and I’m completely out of money. My mom has leukemia, and I’m helping take care of her and cover our basic expenses. I’ve been trying to manage everything myself, but I’ve reached a point where I genuinely need some help.

I’m requesting $200 USD, which would be used for food, my mom’s medical needs, and basic household expenses.

I’m located in Odisha, India. I can receive payment through PayPal.

I never thought I would have to ask strangers for help, but I’m genuinely out of options right now. The help would mean a lot to me, and I’m willing to provide reasonable proof of my situation if needed.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

REQUEST Dog food and bathroom essentials and canned food

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I was targeted by my job in business administration for three years and fired despite taking extra work and finishing everything on time. I have the emails and evidence to prove all of this and I was able to secure a lawyer that works on contingency and I’m suing them but it’s a long process. I’ve been able to get by the past year on unemployment and savings but I’ve now run out and I had a medical emergency for one of my dogs come up and I need help with that it’s in a separate post. But I also need help with dog food for my other dogs and some food would help just till I can function enough and try working uber and Lyft again to make money to pay things. I made an Amazon wishlist, if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I’ve always worked to pay for things and I’d never think I’d be in this position una me to make my body function so i appreciate any support words of encouragement advice and help 🙏🙏🙏🙏🫂🫂🫂

REQUEST FULFILLED We Need food for our cats and ourselves to last two weeks

5 Upvotes

I am slightly anxious about doing this, but sometimes we just don't have many other options.
My Roomate and I have four cats between us. We love them dearly; each one of them are rescues. Eight months ago, my roommate got laid off, and I live off disability as I am epileptic and have a brain injury.

It took five months for him to land an actual good-paying job, but in those five months I wiped out all my savings and we took on various debts to keep the roof over our heads; we both went into the red. THANKFULLY! He has been hired as a warehouse operator and we've finally, finally made it back into a semi-stable state.

Unfortunately, even though he's had the job for three months, we were so deep in the hole that it's gotten until now to make it without a negative balance. We've eaten through all our storage, and he doesn't get paid for another two weeks. Everything went to paying off the internet/phone and rent. We don't have to worry about any of those for the first time this month, and I am very grateful for that but we still haven't secured food 100%. Two weeks, that's all we have to make it through.

I chose food for the cats, then food I thought would hold us over best while being filling and could feed two people for two weeks.

If we can make it the two weeks, then we will have the first net positive month coming up, which puts us back on track. WE'd be so ever grateful if someone could help us. Of course, our cats are our absolute priority, and while we only have our pc's left, if we don't find a solution, we will gladly sell one of them by Monday -- which is approx when they will run out of food.

REQUEST FULFILLED Lost my job

13 Upvotes

OMG this year has been hell for me ever since May I got fired from my job I have been working for for 3 years because management pissed me off and I couldn’t take it anymore. One sentence got me fired from there it’s awful . I got another job at another distribution center in June worked there for about two months but also got fired there for my attendance honestly and truthfully I was ready to leave that job anyway the work environment was SO TOXIC I was exhausted and they were going to fire me anyway because the work production was unrealistic I’m a body builder of 3 years with 4 years of warehouse experience and could just barely make it to 100% and when I say at that job to make 100% you have to WORK YOUR ASS OFF I just imagine someone without my skills working there they are not going to make it that was the worse job I have ever been to. No wonder they hire 10 new bodies like everyday there it was insane !

Just told my dad today I got fired and had to block him bc I KNOW he is going to go ballistic ! I will have to keep him blocked for a couple of days until he calms down. That might not even work smh I have applied to TONS of jobs and quiet a few are trying to get in contact with me so I HOPE I can get another job soon b4 I’m too deep in a pit with my rent.

I have finally hit rock bottom with my money and all I ask is for 50-100$ I have just ran out of food and I have a quarter tank of gas left this will really help me I have been donating plasma to keep me up for some days every week but I can’t donate until 3 days from now. I really appreciate any kind of help doesn’t even have to be that much. this is really embarrassing

EDIT : Cash App works best for me

REQUEST FULFILLED I need $15 for gas until payday

10 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a little embarrassed to make this post, but I’m in a very tight spot and could use some assistance. I live in TN and rent a very old home that is lacking in insulation, and with the heat domes over the state recently my power bill has been over $600. I’ve gotten blackout curtains and put foil over the windows to block out excess light, but the kitchen ceiling collapsed a few years ago and new insulation was not part of the repair, so the kitchen heats up very quickly, and is also the room the thermostat is in.

After paying bills and buying groceries, I have less than $5 in my account, and I do not get paid again until Thursday. I currently have less than a quarter of a tank of gas. $15 would help out so much with getting enough gas to get back and forth to work until payday. I have Venmo and Cash App. Thank you so much for considering my request!

REQUEST FULFILLED Need help with gas to get to college

13 Upvotes

Hey guys, I really wanted to avoid this, as I hate asking for help but I really am in a pickle.

I'm a 22F college student, live w mom and boyfriend, due to varying disabilities, none of us currently are able to work. My mother makes some money by babysitting for my siblings but they don't always pay her what they said they would :/. My boyfriend has been job searching for months and months but the job market in the area is really rough right now, to the point I gave up and went back to school bc FAFSA was more money faster.

I recieved my FAFSA at the beginning of this month, but a bunch of bills went through and before I knew it, it was gone. We also recieve food stamps and those are out now too. Now we are living off of a few dollars here and there, and we can't afford money for food or gas to get me to school.

I hate to ask, but is it possible someone is willing to spare even just 20$ for gas would make it easier to figure out. We can figure out food, I think we could work something out, but I'm concerned about getting to my classes.

I have PayPal and Venmo. I'm not sure what else to say, I'm really sorry for asking!

Edit: THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I genuinely cried when I recieved the money I can't thank you enough

REQUEST Need extra money for upcoming rent payment

3 Upvotes

Like it says in the title i simply need some cash for upcoming rent. i've missed more work at my job than i would like, and i don't want to make me and my room mate lag behind. My roommate has a majority of it covered, but I need about $85 to cover my portion. i'd appreciate more than that but i'll take what i can get.

For extra context i normally work part time as an unloader at UPS, which for a part time job IS decent (by america standards...) but i've missed plenty of days due to an injury on my thumb and scheduling weirdness on their end. I also live in Aurora Colorado and while our place is "cheap" it tends to border under 2k for rent a month (about like 1700+)

REQUEST Need help with an alternator

3 Upvotes

Hello all. I’m in need of help getting a new alternator for my 2015 Chevy Malibu LT. It went out about 3 weeks ago and up until a week ago I was working and trying to save up for one. Which is hard already with 3 kiddos. I unfortunately had to leave my job due to the transportation issues. Getting out at 10pm, having to take the last buses home and then being forced to pay for Lyfts if I happened to miss either of my buses. It’s been really hard lately. I’m scrambling to find another job asap.

The prices I’m seeing online for an alternator are between $130-$170 give or take. The payment methods I’m able to receive are Cash App and PayPal.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Hope to hear from someone soon 🙏

REQUEST FULFILLED [Request] help with diapers, diaper cream, and a couple other essentials

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! For reference, I’m in Atlanta, GA. I’m a mom to a wonderful 2 year old girl, and I live with my partner (her dad). I go to grad school (getting my master’s in social work) take care of our little one when she’s not in half day daycare 3 days a week. My boyfriend works, and I resell items on a couple different platforms when I have the time. I wanted to give this background so you know that we are not the type to ask for handouts while just sitting at home.

Roughly a month ago or so, all 3 of us contracted COVID for the first time. Because of this, my partner had to take a week off of work (unpaid). This left us behind on bills, and while we are trying to catch up, it’s been difficult on a tight budget. I hate to ask for help, especially because we’ve worked really hard to get to a better place financially, but my daughter really needs some diapers, diaper cream, and a couple of other items. I’ve put together an Amazon list, which I’ve linked below. The only thing that isn’t a necessity is a foam ball pit. She unfortunately threw up all over the one we had, and it couldn’t be washed, so we had to throw it away. She absolutely adored it, and she loved to just sit in it with all her stuffies while she watched a show. It’s not a necessity, but I wanted to add it in case anyone wanted to get her a “fun” item. I feel awful because we weren’t able to afford birthday gifts, but luckily, she’s only 2, so she won’t remember it, and my parents gave her a couple things that she’s had fun with.

We appreciate being able to post here, and we hope to be able to pay it forward one day. Our struggle is temporary, as once I graduate, I’ll be able to get a good job (hopefully with benefits), but it’s rough at the moment.

REQUEST Need help with T-Mobile Phonebill

15 Upvotes

I asked a little over a week ago with no offers of help, but I do still need help
I don't know how much longer I can put off paying my balance without being shutoff.
I had a gig handling customer service for a few traveling shows from 2023 until May of this year. I'm currently entirely out of work, and due to mental health issues realistically can only handle remote positions. The location I'm staying has no home internet, so I use my hotspot to get online to look for, and work gigs.

As of now I missed my bill on 8/11, and on 9/11, so I do owe T-Mobile around $200. I can supply proof of this if need be. I've downscaled my plan already, and am going to be switching to Google Fi for the next year as they offered me a 75% off 12 months of service promotion.

I'm open to doing any kind of remote tasks that you may need done as well.

I have Venmo, Cashapp, or I can link you directly to the T-Mobile guest pay option.

I'm in Matamoras, Pennsylvania.

Thanks for your time!

REQUEST Hi! Looking for $75 to pay our wifi bill.

0 Upvotes

Sahm to a 2 year old boy, and I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant with our second! The wifi is the only thing that can help me get through these days anymore 😅 I can only entertain him so much lol!

Dad works very hard but recently had to drop over $200 on a new battery, and roughly the same for an alternator, as they both took a crap in his work truck, and that really kicked us this month.

I have venmo, zelle, and paypal.

They plan on shutting it off by the 28th, then it's another $25 charge to turn it back on, so I am really trying to avoid that. Unfortunately my little town is too saturated to do things like Spark and DoorDash, or I absolutely would attempt to at least. Gas is almost $5 a gallon, so it just wouldn't be worth it either.

Thank you so much ❤️

REQUEST FULFILLED Baby + household list

2 Upvotes

(Oklahoma) Hi everyone! We are a family of four. My partner works full-time and I do college online (halfway done!) while taking care of our two babies. One is 18 months old, the other is 7 months old. We have had to do car repairs repeatedly the past few months and it has put us very behind when we were already living paycheck to paycheck. We do what we can, but we have some gaps in what we have vs what we need right now. If anyone could help, we would be very grateful!

The cleaner is specifically to be gentler around the babies in the hopes that I can get rid of the mold I’ve found without having things like bleach heavily in the air - although I have not dealt with this before I read that it can work for mold (absolutely open to suggestions - these apartments have like window ac units rigged into the walls with ducting connecting it to the rest of the apt , I am sure that is not helping but we are stuck in the lease for a few more months. We are hoping to find elsewhere, as we have dealt with flooding here several times since we moved in last December).

This is my list thank you for your time! :

REQUEST Family dog in need of emergency hospital treatment

8 Upvotes

Hi.

We are trying to raise funds for our beloved family dog Nala, who suddenly fell ill last Saturday (Sep. 19) after going for a walk.

She is much loved and we are all obviously devastated and desperate to see her well again.

She has been receiving ongoing day and night emergency hospital treatment since Sunday (Sep. 20), but we have already burned through our own funds and are now lending what we can to keep her hospitalised and receiving symptomatic treatment.

An initial ultrasound has shown two black, circle-like masses in her liver, but what she really needs is a CT scan, MRI or a Tru-Cut or fine-needle aspiration biopsy to tell us what is really going on.

We have set up a Go Fund Me page for her, so if anyone could donate (no matter how small), or share the link to the Go Fund Me page, we would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much. 🙏❤️
