Hello,

My name is Katherine, I am a mom of 2 amazing precious boys who deserve everything of the best life has to offer but as hard as it is to face the reality is that due to our financial circumstances im struggling to provide them with opportunities and experiences they deserve to become the best they can be.

My heart is broken and as tough and a strong willed person I usually am I must be honest and say that the current financial struggles and worries of a brighter future for my family are very dim. It is emotionally effecting me, the constant internal stress and worries are actually unbearable. 

My husband and I unfortunately lost our jobs during Covid lockdowns and this is what started the financial problems we are now faced with. During the process of trying to get back on our feet my father suddenly passed away from Covid and we had to relocate to try pick up the pieces. This loss unfortunately has made our struggles all the more harder to handle. 

We have been living day to day for over a year, survival mode is all we know at this point, it is not ideal for a family to live this way as it is opposite of wanting to create a safe secure happy home for my family.

We have exhausted all of our resources and although it is not easy to ask for help I am reaching out to kindly ask for assistance in helping my family and I to get back on our feet and on a path that we can create a better and brighter future.

Any donation or financial assistance would be used on the following:

Fix our car which broke down begining of the month.
Groceries and toiletries
Electricity
Childrens clothing

Any support, guidence, compassion, encouragement or financial assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

I am more than happy and willing to provide any further information or answer any questions in more detail on our circumstances if needed.

Thank you for your time and generosity!

Sincerely,

Katherine De Angelis

It's brutal during winter here in the High Desert -11c at night. I'm staying in a ghost-town mining shack, and need cash for fuel, food, and supplies to survive. Business reopened June 2021, but tourists still aren't booking appointments because the economy isn't recovering yet.

Making a desperate attempt at saving oneself. I am on the verge of losing my home for delinquent taxes. I have been unable to work as of late and as a result, I've gotten behind. I share my home with my animal family and I fear more for them losing this home than I do for myself. I am in a desperate situation because I fell short of my responsibilities for too long.The taxes are from 2021 & 2022 and total in the amount of $1600. Between not being able to work, the cost of electricity, food, and taking care of my animals, I was unable to save enough money. I have heard of others receiving help on the internet from caring strangers. I am putting my faith in this to try and save my home and to have another chance to get on the right track.

My friend is in a difficult situation and they no longer have internet. I can’t go into too much detail without breaking their trust and privacy.

I want to try to raise enough for at least a month’s worth of internet (around $190), so she can continue to access job opportunities/offers, and other daily tasks, and her kids can be able to continue with school etc. Her living arrangements are not ideal and pretty unsafe, and plans to get work to save enough to move out. But without Internet, this is too challenging.

I’d appreciate any contributions that could help support her situation. I would give her the money in a heartbeat if I had it, but I’m currently unemployed myself (waiting for work authorization), and even if I got a job soon, by the time I get paid it would be too late as certain arrangements she needs to make need to be done asap.

But any contributions, even if not enough for Internet, could at least help her towards food, supplies for her kids, or getting rides to get into town so she can attend doctors' appointments etc. I know she’ll be grateful for any contributions.

If you can help, please use her paypal.me:

Thank you so much~ 

:(Hello everyone, I come to you humbly to submit my financial assistance request. I have been immersed in so much debt that I am really struggling to keep my head above the water, it is under the water literally and I have no air to breath at all. I am a struggling single mother. I do not know peace nor happiness. My life has been very sad for a very long time. Please help me clear my debts and bring my smile back to my heart  and face. Help me sleep at night, help me find hope and light in my life again. I will be very very grateful.

Hello Reddit community,

My name is Les Curtis, and I find myself in an incredibly challenging situation. Until March of this year, I worked as an owner-operator truck driver. Unfortunately, I suffered a stroke, which not only resulted in the loss of my job but also prevented me from driving commercial vehicles for at least a year, as per DOT ( Department of Transpotation)and FMCSA(Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration)regulations.

As a consequence, I lost my truck because I couldn't keep up with the financial obligations, including a $4000 monthly payment, insurance, and other associated fees. To make matters worse, I depleted my meager savings to cover bills, assuming I would secure a new job before falling behind. However, that hasn't been the case.

Recently, I've been offered a job as a prison guard, pending the completion of a clean background check. While I'm confident that the background check will come back clean, it will take time - time I don't have. My family and I have been surviving on credit cards, most of which are close to their limits, over their limits, or already frozen due to non-payment. I've reached out to the credit card companies, and some have been understanding, offering potential solutions if I can catch up. Not all, but some.

However, the situation has become dire. Our mortgage is in default, and the bank is threatening foreclosure. Our electricity and water services are at iminent risk of being disconnected, and we are running out of food. Additionally, our vehicle insurance is about to be canceled, which will only make matters worse.

I'm humbling myself to ask for your help. I don't want to lose everything I've worked my whole life for. Even the smallest contribution can make a significant difference to us. If you are in a position to assist, I would be incredibly grateful for any financial support you can provide.

To donate, you can use My PayPal which is copied down there at the bottom.

Alternatively, you can also contribute via CashApp: $4gdtms

I understand that not everyone may be able to donate, and that's completely okay. If you are unable to contribute financially, I kindly request that you consider sharing this post with others who might be able to help. Your support, whether through donations or spreading the word, means the world to me and my family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance to those who are able to offer assistance. If I think of any additional information, I will update this post accordingly.

Again, thank you and may each of you have blessed days to come.

            Good afternoon

I am needing 150$ to keep my water and electric on until I start getting paid in two weeks.  If it gets disconnected I honestly don't know how id ever get it turned back on.  We don't have an option for prepaid electric where I live either.  Anything would honestly help I have 3 boys ages 1, 8, 12.  I am willing to provide account numbers if anyone is willing to pay anything on them.

Hello My Name Is David, I usually don't ask for help but I have come on here because I need it. I lost my job due to some medical complications I had and being out of work a lot. I ended up getting treatment but it has left me in a pile of medical bills. I've been on the hunt for a new job. But I am having trouble being able to afford my essentials like rent, car bill, and food. Hopefully god will bless me with a job soon, but in the meantime I came on here to ask for help even if its just a dollar anything would be much appreciated. God Bless you all. paypal.me/davidnewpher

I hate begging or asking for help. I never do. But I don’t know what else to do. I feel very weird writing this out to a bunch of strangers. Apologies in advance if my message is all over the place, I’m a little nervous to even be doing this. 

Here is a little backstory of the problem I am dealing with:


I live alone and fully support myself. I’ve never had family that could help or that really cares, and I am denied for every loan or governmental help that I’ve ever applied for. I am at the point now that I have been behind on my bills and rent for almost a year. This has resulted in my Electricity and Internet (which I use for online schooling) being shut off on me several times and have even been threatened with eviction multiple times. Starting when I got covid and missed 7 days of work. I have never been able to catch back up. I live paycheck to paycheck, sometimes barely having money for food and relying on my job offering free snacks in the breakroom to get me through the day.

Now on top of already being in this situation I am now dealing with new health problems and new things to pay for. I’ve dealt with health problems that I had not been able to take care of for years. I did not have insurance for almost 10 years due to not being able to afford it and my jobs not offering any benefits. I’ve overworked myself in the past trying to make ends meet, at times even working 3 jobs at a time. I finally got a job that offers insurance, and I got a plan. Now that I have insurance I have been trying to get back to normal. I have Epilepsy and therefore have lost my license and am currently trying to go through the process of getting my license back which causes a whole other set of problems and setbacks in life

I Recently went to a doctor for a normal health check and trying to get help losing weight and all the normal things you need to do after not going to a doctor for almost 10 years. While we were doing routine blood work, they noticed that my Red Blood Cell count was high and has stayed high now for a few months. They diagnosed me with Thrombocytosis, and they started testing other blood levels and found out that my iron is dangerously low (like I am in the range that it could potentially cause me to lose consciousness and even getting dizzy just from bending down to pick something up.) along with a few other out of whack tests. After going over all the symptoms that I’ve been dealing with for YEARS, they are starting to suspect that I may have an auto immune disorder. I’m going for another blood test tomorrow, and the results of that test will decide whether I have to get an Endoscopy to see if my stomach lining is damaged. I have been having problems absorbing nutrients, including the iron they have put me on, along with many other stomach related symptoms that you guys probably don’t want to hear about.
The symptoms of all of this have been horrible, from constant stomach problems, headaches, dizziness, weight fluctuations, vertigo, even to acid reflux so bad there have been many, MANY times that I’ve been coughing up blood and choking on stomach acid in my sleep and missing work off and on from the pain and discomfort of it all. I normally just push through and deal with the pain because I cannot afford to lose out on my pay. Even one day missed makes it to where I can’t afford a bill. My insurance has not paid for some of these blood tests. The most recent 5 blood tests that I have gotten have put me in the hole medically by over $800, on top of all my past hospital bills and out of pocket doctor bills.

My insurance wont cover any of the blood tests or diagnostic procedures because I haven’t met my $3000 deductible, which I doubt I even will in one year. Without getting caught up I was told I wont be able to get any additional lab tests done until I pay them off what I owe. But I can’t even do payment because I’m so broke.
Maybe this is dumb of me to ask, but I would really being grateful if anyone could possibly help me get caught back up with my rent. I am so stressed out with everything and not knowing whether I will lose my apartment or not or the possibility of getting kicked out of school due to not affording my internet or even not having electricity for days, has put me in such a bad place mentally. I have struggled with severe clinical depression for years, ever since I was a young kid and I’m now 29 (my therapist even told me that I’ve been depressed for so long in my life that I need to relearn what happiness actually feels like and that I don’t know what it feels like to be “normal”) and this is making me feel like I’m breaking down. I put on a happy face for the world but man I am truly struggling. I don’t want to bore you with my whole life story, but trust me when I say, I have been through A LOT. and I just need a little help to get back to normal.

I am currently $210 behind on my electricity. $1025 behind on my rent. And I have no money in my bank account for food. My fridge and freezer are nearly empty. This is the lowest I have been in a very long time. If there is any way that anyone could help me with any of that. I could provide proof and screenshots or whatever to prove that the money has gone to my bills, anything if I could just get a little help. I really have nowhere else to turn. I’m like holding back tears as I type this. I really don’t know what to do anymore. The longer I stay behind the more I get behind. I apologize for the extremely long sob story, but I figured it would not hurt to shoot my shot at possibly getting some help. I appreciate you taking time to read my message and for any consideration.
