I’ve offered this before & only two people got the boxes. I have 4 more codes for “free” factor meal boxes. This time I’m just going to post the codes, please only take one per person. Free is in quotations because the meals are free, but shipping isn’t. It’s either 8 or 10 meals for $10.99 shipping. I hope it’s able to help someone. Please let me know if you use a code so I can mark it off, thanks! www.factor75.com/free-box FRB-CYZ5KFG4H FRB-DJE95QHPD FRB-CYX2MI2WU FRB-CYY1GYBFT
Hi, I am trying to come up with $250 , to keep my electricity and cell phone on. I need my phone for work. Cashapp or venmo. Any help would be very appreciated. $DerriRL.
I have proof that I can send. Need $100 of 200 dollar bill. My water was shut off. In a very financially hard time. Arrangements were supposed to be on the account. But they weren't.
Please do not solicit me for sex work. It's happened everytime I've asked for assistance , so thought I'd mention now so you don't waste your time.
I’m currently in the middle of selling my house, but it’s been rough.
I’m completely wiped out for the next few weeks but I’m down to less than 2 days of food left for my dogs and local programs don’t have the only food 2 of them can eat. They also don’t help with exotic pet food.
I can’t add a wishlist because it exceeds $150 just from the feeders for the reptiles(they’re overpriced on amazon)
I have 23 pets between snakes, geckos, and dogs. I also have a cat and a bunch of tarantulas- but I have enough food for all of them.
The 3 dogs food and grooming(usually they go to a groomer, so I don’t have clippers or shampoo) would be $80 total (this INCLUDES their food)
The reptiles (snakes and geckos) would be $150 for all of their food (unfortunately frozen rats/mice aren’t cheap around here, but it’s significantly cheaper than amazon)
They all drink purified water because tap here is awful- that’d be $15
The reptiles need more reliable heat- their heaters shorted, I’ve been keeping them in travel carriers on a heated blanket so I have a work-around but I have to check the temp constantly and leave it off at night. A thermostat and enough heat cable to warm all their carriers would be $60 (obviously carriers aren’t ideal, but it’s better than cold terrariums)
Kind of a repost, I have convinced the LL not to immediately get rid of me since the last one but not sure my situation is any better for it.
I lost my job a few months back. I have since found work as an interpreter, but the pay has been kind of sporadic, and I am now threatened with homelessness if I'm not constantly sending the landlords money to catch up on every bi-weekly paycheck.
Between bouts of depression and anxiety over the situation, I've not been able to focus entirely on the work which demands a clear and focused mind, which has led to less than ideal pay outcomes. I just need this help to keep my mind at ease and allow myself to get back into focusing on getting out of this bad situation without the constant threat of being made homeless. Any help is appreciated be it donation or information.
Here is the gofundme as I've seen is usually requested and thank you to any kind donors that can spare anything: https://gofund.me/331a85c6
Hello, I just got a job and don’t get paid until next week. I need help with gas money to get to and from work until then. I don’t need more than $30 for gas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have PayPal and Cashapp and I also live in Utah.
Hey everyone. I am in desperate need of help at the moment. To explain my situation briefly, I am a young adult taking care of my disabled mom after an invasive surgery. With her disability, she often has complications and this surgery was no exception. I have had to push back my return to work and I am struggling. Over the summer, my dog had to have a cancerous tumor removed and while I was able to pay the majority of the cost upfront, I do still have some monthly payments as well. I am currently behind on October and November’s payments, which are now due on 11/25. I have set aside $60, which means I am short $140 ($100 each month is the payment). I have been trying to distribute my funds and prioritize necessities first and I absolutely cannot push this payment back any further. I am worried about being sent to collections. I am trying to do my best with a very difficult situation and receiving help on this.. would take such a weight off my shoulders. Please let me know if you have any questions and if you took the time to read this, THANK YOU.
Located in Canada, so e-transfer is preferred. Amazon wishlist below!
Currently sitting at a -$500 overdraft, any amount would help out. I have had two job interviews as of Monday, and I’m feeling hopeful about both of them!
I work at a coffee shop, but it just isn’t cutting it when it comes to the bills. Happy to pass on the assistance when I’m able :)
Legitimately anything would help me out at this point, picked up a temp job in construction which I start on Friday.

Hey, I am a student in their final year at uni. I am from a humble background and I have survived this past years by doing some small online work. This year has been really tough and to top that I have a lot of research work that needs to be done. This semester I've done all I can but I've only managed to raise rent money. I've been really broke after paying rent. No money to buy just basic stuff and tomorrow I'll use the last of my cash to buy my last supper. Please I just need anything to help get through this. I have one more month here before exams. I plan to use the money I am assisted with to buy groceries, stationary (includes binding my work new shoes and an umbrella because it's raining here),pay electrity and water bill and use the rest as fare back home. Any amount will be appreciated via PayPal or intasend . Thank you ♥️
Editing this post so it hopefully reaches a good Samaritan out there. Again any amount would be appreciated.
Hi, I have been without a job for a bit now and have recently used what money I had saved up still. I just need help eating for the next week or so before I can secure something. My bank account is negative a decent amount so please only digital gift cards if at all possible. about $100 USD should be enough to last me if you can. Thank You
Thank you to everyone who sent my newest owner surrender and my other 2 dogs food. It’s taken a huge relief off me knowing we have some food sit outside to get us through. I am so much appreciative
I am a single father of a 14yr old boy and my income is SSDI. Basically just need some help with gas for tomorrow morning to try to earn more for the rest of the day/week. For extra income I try to Walmart deliveries but live in a small city so offers can be rare sometimes. Other delivery apps like Door dash just don't exist here as the city is too small and most around here aren't very tech savvy.
Anyways got into a situation where I have no groceries and totally broke with an empty gas tank. I should get my SSDI deposit end of next week so just need to make it until then to take away some stress. I also get snap benefits but won't hit until Dec 3rd. Managed to sell a $10 Apple gift card I got from doing surveys to be sure he got fed tonight. I am hoping to get a delivery or two a day until then to make sure I can feed my son and pay for gas and necessities. What sucks is my car has been making bad noises so hopefully can do this to make it without it breaking down entirely.
Sorry didn't mean to rant but basically just asking if anyone can help with maybe $5 for gas or so to give me a better chance of making it through this.
Thanks so much
It kills my pride to ask and I don't know to ask but I need $200 cash app or venmo for firewood because that is my only heat. It won't get me through the entire winter but it will get me part way. I use about a wheelbarrow full a day for heat . I also need cat food and a vacuum cleaner. I don't want the cheapest or most expensive cat food. Middle of the road is perfect. And so far as a vacuum cleaner is concerned mine died over a year ago. Sweeping only goes so far. I am becoming allergic to my house. I need something that does rugs, bare floors and pet hair. I will leave it to y'all's good judgment. I post this as I hear some critter in my ceiling. I don't want to tell my whole story but I just need help right now.
Hi all,
This is a last resort for me and it pains me deeply to be asking for help… I recently lost my job and I’m the sole earner for my elderly parents. I’ve gone through my savings (so grateful I kept some aside for a rainy day) trying to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I’m all out now, I’ve never been in this position and I’m scared of what will happen.
I just need a little $20 - $30 to keep myself afloat for the next few days. Im not from the States so even $5 would be great help. I’m actively applying for jobs and also trying to start a UGC gig to get some money in and I can provide proof for both.
I’m also trying to sell my things whatever I can but have had no luck so far.
Thank you in advance, I’m hoping to get back on my feet soon and help too.
I have a 2012 scion xD and if u know anything about these cars you would know how difficult it is to find tires that actually fit. I looked online to figure out where to find winter ones and i only found one result! I went to simple tire website. Only result that would fit my specific car model is $145.99/tire or $583.96 minus all the fees I’m sure I’m gonna have to pay.
Ever since last years awful winter in which I got into 3 accidents, I have been extremely anxious about driving in the snow without the proper tires. I do also currently have sand bags in my car too!
Update: with only two items left on the list I'll tag it as "fufilled," but with the Situation I'm in I'm not against more help. Thank you so so much to everyone who has helped bring my stress levels down tonight! 💗💗
I registered and read the rules and believe I understand and am doing this correctly. I am summarizing and condensing this as best I can. I'm a disabled single mom, who takes care of my disabled Mother living in Las Vegas NV. We are on food stamps. I checked my balance to find out my food stamps had been the victim of a skimming scam from the grocery delivery app we use. They took 300 and change.
Normally we get by okay, but this has thrown us off. And I don't have a car to get to food banks (I know ALL of them, I've utilized them heavily when we had a car). And due to my mobility disabilities I can't do anything by bus.
We've already to prevent and fix it for the future and I am following up with any authorities I can to try and prevent this from happening to me or someone else. I am also trying to figure out transportation arrangements for food banks.
The replacement funds could take possibly up to next month or longer. So I am asking for some help.
I have a list linked below but a gift card to Amazon for Amazon fresh, or a Smiths grocery gift card would be okay, too, instead of my list. Amazon Fresh delivers and Smiths is my closest grocery store I could figure out something with. Please no Walmart as that's where I got skimmed.
My wishlist was picked with trying to last the rest of the month in mind, and I picked thing I know my family will consume, and picked more bulk things because amazon..is not very price savvy, bulk was sometimes only a dollar or two different on things and I wanted to make sure it was worth whatever money would be spent by whoever can help. The pepsi is for my mom, it's all she drinks...it's not exactly my first choice or preference for anything so I ask to be kind on that. My kid is auDHD so they are very pick on foods, hence why my list has what it has. There's no fresh stuff because it seems it all goes through Amazon fresh and they don't let me add it.
I also added toilet paper and paper towel because I'm not sure we have enough for the month. I also have the list where other things can be added if people want to add more stuff to send or more than the single items (some I tried to choose 2 like the soups but it seems it didn't keep that?)
Thank you all so much. Please be kind. I'm trying to the best of my abilities. Amazon wishlist for Stolen EBT
Edit: to eliminate the wall of text.
My brother had a huge heart for helping others and passed away last month, so this is being done in his memory. Please share a happy moment in your day / life to be considered.
Will comment tomorrow (11/21) around noon with who the recipients will be this time around. Please do not PM me direct.
I’ve just landed a new job and require a police record check, if memory serves it costs 41$ here in Ontario.
I do also need gas and would greatly appreciate 10$ as that should be enough.
I would greatly appreciate any help if possible!
link to survey: https://forms.gle/wxDqLFbHFTfJQwmA8
Hi everyone,
I am an undergrad student conducting a survey on pornography consumption and its association with Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) for a psychology class I am currently taking. The survey is completely anonymous and should only take about 10 minutes of your time. I delve more into the goal, purposes, and content of the survey in the introductory page and throughout the questionnaire so you have a better understanding of what you are participating in.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could fill out the survey, and maybe share it with anyone who might be interested in it. Any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticism would also be welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you for your time and honesty in advance! :)
I just put my cat of 18 years down. He couldn't walk. He would walk 2 or 3 steps and would fall over. He was on monthly pain shots (has been for over a year) and daily pain meds and he just kept getting worse in the last 3 days. I am worried I made the wrong choice. He also had a gallop rhythm in his heart and a heart murmur. He had kidney, pancreas and liver all showing signs of failure and he had a growth on his arm.
This is a lot wrong and I tried to do everything I could for him but in the last 2 days he did nothing but sleep. He's walk a few steps and either fall or lay down. It was really sad to watch. He peacefully passed and it was just like he went to sleep. This was less than 12 hours ago and I keep crying. I miss him. He was with me almost my entire adult life. I'm 41 and he was 18.
If anyone has any advice or could just tell me it will eventually be ok I would really appreciate it.
I'm sorry baby, I wish I could have done more for you. Mommy couldn't make it better and I feel like a failure.
Thank you to everyone who purchased from my wishlist for my animals, you guys cleared out almost the entire list and have definitely made this month so much easier for us. My animals thank you!! If I could post a pic here of the babies, I so would. But just know they’re grateful and so am I 🩷🩷
I'm sorry if this isn't the right sub for this. If it isn't, recommendations for other support subs are more than welcome.
My name is Amanda (46f). My BF (52m) died Monday. (Technically my "boyfriend", but we were married in every way except for the marriage license. He is literally the only man I've ever loved.) We met in 2004, and we did split up for a while, but got back together in 2021 after my mom died.
We've been living with my cousin and her husband for about a year, because he was in the ICU for 2 months last year and was in really bad shape when he got out of the hospital, so he couldn't work or anything when he was released. He weighed about 100 lbs and couldn't eat or even swallow at that point. (And my cousin invited us, we didn't just crash here with no discussion, she said we should come and stay!) There's a lot more to the story but I won't put it here. I'll be glad to answer any questions though.
We were on the front porch (that's where we smoke) when it happened. I was right here for all of it. I was there when he gasped and stopped breathing, and I watched my heart leave this world. It happened so, so fast. I called 911, and they did their best at the hospital, but he was gone. And after I got home from the hospital I stayed out there on the porch for a long time. His Coke was still right where he left it, and his cigs and lighter, and his chair.
Anyway, I guess I'm asking for advice, or encouragement, or just a friendly person to talk to. I have no friends IRL, and I don't have a therapist right now. My cousin and her husband are supporting me in their own way, but I feel so alone right now. For one, they're both religious, and I'm not, and my BF wasn't, so hearing about how "it was just his time" isn't comforting to me. I even called a "warm line" Monday night, and just my luck, I got somebody basically telling me it was God's will. Nice lady, seemed very kind, but not what I needed.
Ugh, I'll stop here. Sorry if this is kind of a mess to read, but I'm a mess right now. If you've gotten this far, thank you. And if you DM me and I don't respond right away please don't get upset. I'm only sleeping for a couple hours here and there when I can, and I'll respond when I get up!
Help Raise Funds for Emergency Cat Bill
Hi everyone. My 4 year old cat Panther got into something and has been vomiting and refusing food and water all day. He’s normally a super cuddly and loving baby but he’s been hiding away all day and doesn’t really want to be touched. We are super worried and want to take him to the vet but currently don’t have the funds to do so… any and all help would be appreciated so we can get him seen ASAP and hopefully treated for whatever is wrong. Any help or sharing of this would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance
Was wondering if theres any way to get spotify premium for cheaper such as any discounts? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I have 4 indoor kitties been a really bad month somehow I lost 300 dollars.....Have no clue where...Could really use some help with cat food.....Thanks for reading.....
I was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. I was already in poor health and the chemo has been very rough on my body. I’ve had many complications and now I’m drowning in debt. My wife and I are struggling greatly.
I’ve never asked for help like this before and have always been self reliant, but I really need the help till I can get back on my feet.
I’ve tried financial assistance, and I’ve tried disability but have been denied. My wife is paying our house payment but she doesn’t make enough to sustain us in the long term.
I know things are tight for everyone right now, but any help that people could offer would be so wonderful. I’ve had a lot of bad luck this year and hoping for some help.
Hi! I lost my job three weeks ago. Immediately had started applying for new ones. I landed one and start Friday, but they require employees to wear red T-shirts and I don’t have any currently. I had been budgeting tight but didn’t have a ton of expendable income and ran out yesterday. Asking for a $20 gift card to Walmart so I can buy a few tshirts to get me through the job until I get my first check there. Will provide receipts after purchase. Thank you very much!
Hello, I am in desperate need of $25 for some help with gas. I have been unemployed for the last two months (was denied unemployment), and had been pulling from my 401K but am no longer able to. I have finally gained employment, and begin my job on Monday. However, I do not have the funds to put gas in my car to get me to and from my new job. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
