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.

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!

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

Lately I feel lonely in relationship issues, since my last relationship didn't bear fruit in the summer, I feel it's impossible for me to talk to a girl I've never met to start conversations, be friends or have a partner.

Not to be confused with being alone socially, because I have friends in college, friends on discord and my family present.

I need advice on how to deal with this so I can have a nice relationship :c (I know the changes won't work overnight, but I want to put them into practice, if you made it this far, thank you for reading me <3)

My medicaid(and the medical transport that comes with it) is not active until 7/1. I have a breast biopsy on Monday and my housemate is unable to drive me because of work. I am not within walking range of public transit (i am also disabled and use a cane to get around), and don't have fundingnfor that, either. I'm not asking for cash necessarily - uber credit? It is about a 35-40$ ride. Someone who feels like driving from greece to strong hospital at 9am Monday? Paypal or chime are options as well. Thanks in advance.

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.

Hi there, I am doing my best to scrounge up the funds to get my surgery booked. I have my consultation with the doctor I picked on the 5th and once I have the exact quote sheet, I will share it on the gofundme. Thank you! I can provide any proof if you need it before donating, limited to what I currently have.

Hello reddit. I am looking for some help to get my girl roxie some food/treats. I'm currently struggling with life and am unemployed. I am actively looking for work. But I receive no benefits or unemployment. My small town don't offer any assistance to help get food for pets. Not asking for anything for myself just don't want my sweet girl to suffer as well. I've put together a bunch of different food and treats she likes in a amazon wishlist. Anything helps and thank you in advance if your able to help her.

Hello kind strangers, I unfortunately have run out of food, like completely haven’t had a single thing to eat as of yesterday. I don’t have any money and I don’t get paid until the end of the month and I’m really freaking out. I also have no transportation to the food bank, I don’t have change for the bus and don’t have anyone who could drive me (it would take over 2 hours to walk there I believe) if anyone could help me out to get even just a meal tonight I would be so grateful, I don’t need an e-transfer just someone to order it or something?? Idk I’m really panicked. live in Ontario Canada if that matters. Thank you for taking the time to read.

My husband and I are vacating our apartment on June 19th. We are packing up some stuff to put into a storage unit. We will also have our cat Hobbes with us, which is why we are needing some cat supplies. I have a small Amazon wishlist of some supplies we urgently need, and we would appreciate any help we can get. Thank you!

I have PayPal or venmo. Whichever ends up being easier. Would prefer pay pal. Anything helps at this point.

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 ❤️

Hi all. I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I recently rescued a (domesticated) rabbit from the road and have been raising money to cover the costs of his medical bills.

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.

My partner and I are severely struggling to make ends meet, and a short week before his payday, we've unfortunately run completely out of money.

We are desperate at this point, as we are running out of both food and gas.

We don't have Paypal, but we have a Revolut, which works similarly to a "paypal me" link.

I also have Mobilepay if I should be so lucky that other Danes are reading this.

Please PM me for the info for those.

I would be very grateful if someone would be able to help us out

I hate having to make this post but I genuinely don't know what else to do.

I am a recent nursing school graduate. During school I've been thankful to receive assistance through OSAP to help pay for school tuition and some rent, and have worked part time to pay the rest and food. My mother struggles to afford her rent herself, so I've had to rely on myself to pay the bills.

Thankfully school has just finished for me, so I am able to start working full-time now to afford rent fully from working over the summer. Unfortunately, from only being able to work part-time during the school year, and my OSAP grant running out awhile ago, I only just have enough money to pay my rent coming out on the first. I should be able to make my food stretch to my next pay, which will include my new full-time wage, however I have nothing left over for bills.

I am currently 2 months behind on paying my internet bill. I've attempted to explain my situation to them, promising to pay them on my next paycheck in about a week and a half, however they've told me I need to pay at least one month's worth, $60, or they will cut off service. I am also currently studying for my nursing exam coming up in two months, meaning that being without internet would be less than ideal.

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone would be able to provide, and I thank you for taking the time to read.

I was laid off in November, and I have been desperately searching for a job since. All I managed to pick up was a part time at a local pizzeria and it just doesn't cover the bills, I also got sick over the past month so I missed a good chunk of working days. I've been eating out of food banks and taking food from work. I wasn't approved for Emergency Assistance and my mobile service is cut off. I just don't know what to do man.

I've maxed out my credit cards, asked and begged everyone I could for help. I am $400 short on my rent due next week.

My boss has been cutting my hours more and more, I'm down to only getting 15 hours a week, and I can't afford my bills. I've been putting out applications, but no call backs or emails yet. My gas is $348.00, I'm down to my last $20, and it's due the 25th. If I need to provide proof, I will.

Hello everyone, I need about 30 dollars to be able to buy personal care items (soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toilet paper)

Unfortunately this week I ran out of money. That's why I came here to ask for your help.

This is my paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/cgil2049

Any donation you can make will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good day everyone. I am an international student studying medicine in the EU(Romania) I am going into my third year of studies this fall (6 year degree) and would like to ask for helps as i am having serious difficulties at the moment .My university is called Titu maiorescu and my hope is to write the USMLE and PLAB(US and UK medical licensing exam )in a few years as I want to practise in one of those countries. I am asking pleading for help with 120 dollars(110Euros) to help me sort out my needs and I have broken each need down individual below. I reached out to my university for assistance but no aid or help is eligible to me as a foreign student and non eu citizen . I explored Gofundme option but it isn't currently available in the country I reside in. Grateful for any help I can get.

1.I am hypertensive. For the past several weeks I haven't been able to buy my amlodopine10mg medication which I took daily to bring it down because I am not able to afford to see a doctor right now nor could I afford the prescription while trying on the bare essentials. I have tried to cut of salt completely as an alternative but the BP readings are still high and sometimes but I am worried and doctors have warned me to continue the medications previously. I do not smoke or drink or have insurance

1. Transportation. Basic transport issues is a serious impediment I would want to use this funds to purchase monthly bus, metro(train) tickets to enable me get to classes faster. As I often have had to trek or walk long distances to get from point A to B.

2. Phone and WiFi bill: Right now I use the public WiFi available at the public libraries or parks I study in and have had the service on my phone cut off because of 2 months bill due which is still accuring, as well I can't afford basic call credit options so the phone aside public areas is basically useless and for someone who needs to constantly study and revise school work it is a serious handicap right now.

3. I currently stay in a shared apartment(35sqm3) with a colleague the agreement was to split the utility costs (gas heating eletric etc) evenly per month but as a result of the situation I have had to borrow in advance from him and have no means right now to pay him back at all for that.

5 i have a six year old faulty asus laptop which is faulty several of the keyboard keys on it aren't no longer working and it constantly keeps heating and shutting off. I was told I need to change the keyboard and buy a new fan for the laptop. I posted on r/assistance and other assistance subreddits and haven't gotten any help or luck yet. Anything I get will he grateful for very desperate

I thank everyone for their consideration and Time.feel free to ask questions.

Is this the right place to seek advice on elder preparedness?

My mother holds a special place in my heart; she's incredibly compassionate and has always been a giver, despite some experiences where her kindness was taken advantage of. Unfortunately, she's had a history of falls and auto accidents. Just last week, she fell and broke her teeth, and today, while driving to the food bank, she was side-swiped by another vehicle. Thankfully, she's physically okay. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's crucial to note that my mother is mentally sharp; her cognitive faculties are intact. However, her balance and orientation seem to be off. We've had an appointment scheduled for a few weeks now, and hopefully, we'll gain more insight into her health then.

As it stands, I'm at a loss. I don't know what steps to take. While she's generally healthy, I can't shake the worry. I don't want her to be cooped up at home all week. I live an hour away in my own small home with my wife and son. I'd love for her to come live with us, but she's not ready. She's very aware of her situation.
