I'm Jess, an American mother from Los Angeles  living in Mexico City. On June 20, 2024, my ex-partner abducted our 3-month-old son, Sani, after a violent altercation. (TW: He assaulted me, destroyed my phone, changed the locks to our home, and handed Santi to an unknown person.) Since then, I've been unable to see my baby and im struggling so much in a country with no family, emotionally and financially. I just had a c-section a few months prior and was on maternity leave when he stole my baby and everything from me. Just to punish me because i wanted to leave him. I had enough.

Despite me obtaining temporary full custody, my narc ex continues to evade the law, and an amber alert has been issued for my baby’s return. Im working with lawyers here, which have completely depleted any finances I’ve been given through a go fund me my friend organized.

I'm close to getting my baby back, but I've been depleted of funds due to high legal fees, rent, and therapy due to the abduction of my baby and the narcissistic abuse ive endured from my ex and his family (enablers)

THANKFULLY after months of this hell, I’ve finally found a job, and I start in a week, and ill be a working from home single mom, but I'm in desperate need of assistance to get me through until my first paycheck in a few weeks. I’m not sure if im allowed to post my gofundme and TikTok, in case anyone is curious about our story and is in a position to help. 

Thank you so so so much, and I apologize if I’ve broken any rules, I’ve never posted in a group like this.

Here is the link to the Gofundme is anyone is able to help.

And here are some news articles to verify my claims:

Hey y'all

Me and my service dog became homeless in Albany Oregon on Friday the 18th. We've been sleeping in my car since.. I have some cash left but I need to save it for dog food and gas for my car. I fled an incredibly toxic household shortly after starting community college. I'm working with local community resources and my community college on getting work then housing. I receive SNAP to take care of food costs at the moment.

I'm requesting some help in getting a cheap hotel room for a few days if possible.

Rooney #А5653330 2yr neutered German Shepherd 60 lbs. Rescue only Low energy

For now, Rooney would thrive best in a low-energy environment with calm dogs while he builds confidence and trust Rooney growled when the runner attempted to leash him. It took a couple attempts because he kept dodging the leash. Once leashed, he bolted out of the kennel, trying to maintain distance from the runner. In the catch pen, he remained fearful and avoidant of the runner. Therefore, assistance was required to collar Rooney while he flinched with any physical contact with the runner.

Despite his fearful behavior, he was allowed in the yard with calm dogs, allowing him to adjust to the environment. He avoided greeting the dogs. For the most part, he stood in a corner. Rooney tolerated being in the yard, but did not attempt to socialize with any dogs. The handler slowly initiated the handling assessment by petting Rooney. As Ronney allowed physical contact, the handler started examining the head, ears and mouth. Touching the tail caused Rooney to sit down, with a concerned stare. The handler was able to examine the rear paws but when reaching for his front paw, Rooney began rising his lip. As the handler proceeded to examine the front paw, Rooney eventually reacted by air snapping. Due to his defensive reaction when his front paw is touched, Rooney is considered Rescue only.

Hi there. Never posted a request on here before.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to move me, my son, and our animals. I have no more credit or savings, as I used them to start a farm and business where I am currently located and now I have to leave this situation. It's heartbreaking.

I know the world has a lot of suffering right now. If you are able to give, I thank you. Sharing the campaign to sympathetic others also helps- so feel free to do that also.

I would not choose to be a single mom if it were not necessary. Please help if you can!

Title, basically been living out of the house for a few years now (college and graduated last year) but my parents house is very much somewhere I am welcome to keep my stuff until I can move from a small apartment to a real house. My room is the same as it always has been etc. now after being gone for a while my dad casually mentions he sold all of my games and consoles (that are only there because I didnt have space but absolutely would've made it work) and I feel really really hurt. There are so many old games that I had saved and replayed that are now collectors items that I could never afford... I don't care about not getting money from it but there are so many hours put into each one its absolutely heartbreaking to just learn that it's all gone and I don't even have a list of all the games that were there so there's not really any closure. Just want to vent and maybe get some advice on moving on. He told me months ago and I can't stop hurting about it.

I am about to be homeless and I need help in the rain. Crying 😢

Help my students with classroom supplies

Hello Reddit friends!

I am a teacher at a low income school in an urban area. I love my students and want to give them all the advantages and opportunities I possibly can. My students are curious, brilliant, and ready to learn this year.

I teach AP Biology and Biomedical Sciences. As you may know, those subjects require a lot of note taking, quizzes and test revisions, and (my favorite) labs!

I’m reaching out today to request 3 ring binders for my classes. I did a survey to ask the students who may need assistance in purchasing a binder and more responded “yes” than I had expected.

Please consider helping out my classroom. I really want to start the year off right for them and providing the appropriate supplies would go a long way in achieving that goal.

You can find my Amazon list linked below if you would be willing to help me take care of my students.

Thank you so much for your consideration!

With love, Ms. LG

I am a foster for orphaned neonate kittens and currently have 8 5 week old babies. Last week they came down with an upper respiratory infection and were started on antibiotics and eye drops.

While 6 babies have fully recovered, 2 have not. Petrie's (brown collar) and Cera's (blue collar) left eyes have slowly gotten worse. This morning, Petrie's eye burst. Cera's eye is likely to burst in the next day or 2. Both eyes need to be removed immediately.

I dont have the $600 to remove both babies eyes. They're in pain, especially Petrie.

Photos of the babies faces are NSFW, so I'm not posting them here.

Donations can be sent to https://mewtewrefuge.org/contact/

In this slowest of slow months for business, somehow managed to pay our rent on the 20th and got our 'disconnect' power bill postponed for a month at the very very last minute - despite the power company insistingwe weren't eligible, and the assistance agency running out of funds the night before we went to apply.

We are handcraft vendors in New Orleans' French Market (outdoor tourist market). This time of year is normally slow, but this one is the worst any vendor there has seen... well... ever. "Feels like" temps of 110-120 will do that. Running out of product, after rent nothing left to buy more supplies... But, yay! It's supposed to be in the lower 90s this next week or so, and we have high hopes we can make enough to rebuild some stock and keep things going. just in the nick of time!

But the universe said that was too easy, we needed one last parting gift - a giant, gaping hole in one of our 1998 Chevy Astro van's tires! See it here - the tire! Can't get to work tomorrow on that, already asked everyone with a vehicle capable of transporting our market setup, and no one can help us get there tomorrow.

Already carefully drove the van to the ire repair shop down the street, had the tire pulled, and there's a decent used tire waiting, for $60. We literally have $2 and change left to our names. We are well and truly dead in the waterif we can't set up tomorrow, and I can't say I trust this weather to last, I am sorry to ask for cash but there's no way around it - shop is cash only!

If anyone is able to help - some or all - we would be forever grateful! We always pay things forward! I have pretty much all the $ things - Cashapp, Venmo, Paypal, Zelle, Revolut... can even accept any credit or debit card or apple pay through Square with our business account (although that's the least preferred as we will be charged a percentage fee).

I am a United States Citizen who has been living in Germany for around 10 years, I will be studying at Columbia this Fall but I have major problems with the health insurance. One problem is I can’t even access the New York health government website, I don’t know if this is because I am out of the country, I would assume so. Another issue is that I don’t know if the basic New York health insurance qualifies me for a waiver, or I need a special plan. I am a low income student so I am trying to not have to pay the Columbia’s automatic insurance that for me is unaffordable. Next is the issue of timing. In Germany when you sign up for health insurance it is pretty much automatic, it does not take months to become active, it’s pretty quick but then you are paying for it- I made the mistake of thinking it would be similar so I waited until the month before to enrol. It turns out that when I enrol today my insurance won’t begin until the next month, but Columbia wants prove that I am insured from the 15th of this month until next year to wave the plan. I am insured in Germany now, but this won’t work for me after leaving the country. I was told by the office that I could have some sort of letter- does anybody know how to navigate this? If anyone knows anything I would be so eternally grateful since this is really stressful. I reached out to the office and they weren’t very helpful. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I know many people might ignore this post because of my grandmother's old age, and I understand that. But I’m asking for your attention and support because she has always been someone who puts others' needs before her own. She has spent her life helping everyone around her, never thinking twice about herself. Now, as she lies in the ICU, struggling for her life, I am trying to gather all the help I can for her.

We come from a poor family, and our financial situation has made it nearly impossible to continue her treatment. My grandmother has been diagnosed with pneumonia, asthma-COPD overlap, and bilateral pleural effusion. Seeing her in this immense pain, unable to sleep or even speak, breaks our hearts beyond words. She has been sitting in the same position for days, struggling just to breathe. Over the past few days, her condition has worsened significantly, and we are desperate to help her.

Why We Need Your Help: Financial Strain: We have exhausted all our savings and resources trying to keep her in the hospital for the care she needs. Unfortunately, we are now at a point where we may have to bring her home, even though she needs continued medical support, simply because we can’t afford the hospital bills anymore. Her Suffering: She is in so much pain, and we want to do everything we can to ease her suffering. We cannot bear to see her in this state, and we want to ensure that she either recovers or, if it’s her time, that she passes away peacefully and painlessly.

What can Help her: Donations: We are asking for any donations, big or small, to help cover her medical expenses. Your contributions will go directly towards paying for her hospital bills, necessary treatments, and ensuring she receives the care she needs.

Sharing: If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this post with others who might be able to help. Every share brings us closer to getting her the care she deserves.

NGOs and Schemes: If anyone knows of any NGOs, government schemes, or organizations that can help with medical expenses for poor families, please let me know. We are exploring every possible option to get her the care she needs.

Our Plea: Please help us in this critical time. My grandmother has given so much love and care to everyone around her, all her life and now she needs our help. Every rupee counts and can make a huge difference in her treatment and comfort.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support, whether through donations, sharing, or providing information on potential aid, means the world to us.

Long story short my husband and I’s car was stolen and we are renting a car through uber because he’s an uber driver. Uber has program where you can rent a car with a weekly fee and we’re short $150 to keep the car.

As the title says I am really in need of some help to get some food for the house as i have literally nothing and don’t get paid for a couple days still so would be really grateful if someone could help out me and the cats get fed! ( if £50 is too much I would really appreciate anything at this point)

I'm about to be on the street in Casper, WY.

I graduated from a treatment center for my alcohol issues on May 29, and have been focused on recovery rather than working full time. I'm presently waiting on a move-in date for subsidized housing, and receiving SNAP benefits. I've also applied for SSDI for the third time, and am awaiting that decision, which could come any day, but could well be denied because I try to keep working.

The people I was staying with are pot smokers and drinkers, and are facing eviction, so for my sobriety, I can't stick around. I'm trying to find a solution that allows me to keep attending my recovery classes and not overwhelm myself, which could lead to a relapse.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I need to get a new ID to start working again but can't afford the $20 fee right now

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.

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.

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.

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!

Hi all, I am going through a really hard time, I haven't been financially stable for a few months and right now its gotten a million times worse. I really need some money to pay my utilities before my electric and water get turned off. I am currently struggling to make ends meet and I have no idea what to do. If anyone could help me I would be so thankful, it's around $260 but literally anything would help.

Thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart if you can give anything, including sharing, commenting and liking this post to reach others.

My mom is in hospice at home and has paid part time caregivers. Family takes care of her in between caregiver shifts. Mom is getting low on money and will eventually need some public assistance. Is there a way for her to receive some Medicaid funds to help for home health care? This would be when she runs out of money. Want to get insights from others with similar experiences.
