Haven’t ate all day. I was in a car accident end of November & my pay has been very inconsistent from STD. I just want to eat tonight and tomorrow…. Or at least tonight
Hi all! I'm living in Georgia. I've been living in a hotel for a while but got behind due to work being slow (I'm a server) but now facing homelessness due to it. I'm just looking for any advice on resources I could take advantage of like housing programs or anything like that! I've been looking but don't qualify for a lot of them. Unfortunately, tomorrow is my last day at the hotel and I have my cat with me as well. So that is a factor as well
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Anyone who can use it to shop at TJX store and on website as well.. Happy New Month❤️
Going to keep this short and sweet, this is just a Hail Mary. Lost my job in late December and have a new job starting Monday. We were expecting my son’s ssi yesterday, still waiting for it. I was seeing if anyone could help with $20 just to get some sandwich stuff to get through the weekend. Thanks in advance and understandable if not. I have PayPal and a PayPal card.
I figure this is probably a long shot but i’m posting in hopes of finding help with $30 that i’m short for my HRT prescriptions this month, using goodrx coupons it’s $92 total for all my meds. i have cashapp and venmo, thanks in advance to anyone able to help :)
I had an unexpected expense and am about $40 short on my portion of rent and nobody in my household can help me cover it.
ETA: located in the US
Hi everyone. I got myself into a bit of a bind. I got my work permit and started living here in Canada, and just opened a Canadian bank account. 4 days ago I wire transferred my entire US savings to this new Canadian one because my card won’t work anywhere here. I thought it would go through in time for rent. I know that was dumb, please don’t comment on it I just need advice.
My rent is due this evening and I need $100 CAD to cover the rest of it. My bank advisor told me my wire transfer will go through likely on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.
I can’t apply for loans here because I have no credit established in Canada, neither a Canadian history of employment. I got approved for a newcomer credit card yesterday but it won’t be available to me for at least a week.
What resources are available for me? I think cash advance apps might be my only option, but it can’t rely on a debit card # because I only have a temp card. I can log into my mobile bank, but no card info.
Dears,
I need to go to a family gathering tomorrow and im left without money and my salary is coming only on Tuesday, it is 250kms drive.
If anyone could help me out with 30-40 eur/usd on Revolut it would be highly appreciated!
i am from Hungary, Europe though.
Hello,
Over the last 2 months I’ve had my share of financial hardships, and while i’m trying my best to get into a better spot, there are still some necessities that i cannot get.
I had to move out on my own for the first time, very suddenly and unexpectedly. I spent all of my savings on a security deposit, first months rent, moving supplies, and a doctors appointment + medication.
I paid my rent this morning and while I was able to cover all of it, I cannot afford to buy anything else until my next check (2/14/25). I have the exact amount that my bus fares will cost until then and that’s it.
My primary/more urgent need is new shirts for work. The other items would be greatly greatly appreciated but I can wait and most likely purchase them for myself later.
Obviously no pressure whatsoever, but if you’re feeling generous, it would really make my week. Thank you :)
UPDATE: genuinely tearing up at the generosity of you all. thank you all so so much. <3

Hello there friends! Trying to stay positive through a string of bad luck and even the simplest food items have become so expensive that it's difficult not to go hungry most days. I was unexpectedly laid off from my job without severance recently and finally got unemployment benefits after having to appeal their first decision because my previous employer did everything they could including blatantly lying to prevent it. I had been working mainly for tips at that job so my unemployment benefits don't even cover all of my rent, so I've been selling off all my belongings just to make ends meet. My car broke down irreparably so I can't easily visit my local food bank. I put together an Amazon wishlist with a few necessities, food items, and specific cat food for my senior cat with chronic kidney disease. Any help will be more than greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hello all, my typical ride share to work is going to be off for this month so I will need to get a bus pass ASAP!
I am short around $20-$25 dollars for it (I am scrounging for change right now.)
Any assistance would be awesome- I have PayPal as well as CAD ETransfer.
Thank you!
Had a sleep study last night to figure out what was going on with my insomnia, called my insurance to bring me to the appointment since I have no other means of transportation atm, they said to call back when done for pickup, great! Unfortunately in my infinite wisdom I failed to realize the obvious which is that since I stayed overnight they are closed on weekends lmao. Tried calling family with no luck. So I need a bit of help. incredibly grateful.
Forgot about some dividends so I have a little extra cash. Usually I keep this to the uk but the PayPal fee isn’t as bad as I thought it would be so offering $20 to someone with no stipulations or sob story needed, just leave a comment on something nice that’s happened to you in the last month. I’ll pick someone in two hours time.
If you message me privately without invitation, please know I do report every single one, don’t do that. It makes me really uncomfortable.
My first paycheck will be the 20th. It's biweekly and they hold the first check. So basically 3 weeks from today. I really need non slip shoes and black pants, though in order to go to work. I was hoping for 100 to be able to get the cheap ones (shoes..35) and a couple pairs of pants (40ish?-Walmart brand at 17 each) and the rest to put in the gas tank. I do only have cash app. Any help is appreciated and I thank yall
I’m completely broke right now and need money for transport. I use public transport, and I have no way to cover the fare. If you could help me out with just $6, you'd be a lifesaver. I have PayPal.
This gofundme was to cover my pups cancer surgery. I was able to cover it and she had it yesterday, however one of her stiches was done wrong so I am going to have to go back in and get it fixed as a wound has opened back up, as well as get her sedatives because she can't get walked or jump on any furniture or anything so she is going stir crazy and becoming quite hard to handle in her current state. She's an amazing dog, just bored out of her mind because she's a working dog breed. Additionally, because we are stuck in my room 24/7 I would like to buy a portable air conditioner as our room is 32+ degrees C all day all night and all three of us (I have a second dog) are really struggling being stuck in that heat. Any help towards our fund would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
My name is Pierina and I have created this campaign to restore the vision of my grandmothers who are in Venezuela. My two grandmothers, Maria and Berlamina (Mina) are suffering from an advanced cataract disease.
Fortunately it can be operated, but the cost of the operation ranges from $1500 to $2000. Although Venezuela's official currency is the bolivar, the country's economy moves in dollars and the costs of any operation are quite high for me.
A little over a year ago, I launched a campaign and we were able to pay for the surgery for one eye of each one. Thanks to that my grandmothers have been able to partially improve their vision. A few days ago we were informed that for January there will be a new round ofoperations at a reduced cost, around $750 each operation, so we have put my grandmothers on the list and we have started to try to raise the money.
Our families are to get as much as we can, but due the short time I'm afraid of not getting it on time, and lose the opportunity to do this surgery.

I have 5 pizza hut promo codes that I can't use because there's no pizza hut in my area (Connecticut) anymore. They're all for 1 free 1-topping Personal Pan Pizza. Please comment and I'll msg you the code. I'm going to sleep but will send them when I wake up. Edit: I'm not sure if delivery is available for free on these as I'm unable to check, these may just be for pickup. First come first serve
Hello! I would like to ask for a little help again here. The payment from my freelance work is delayed and won't be receiving it until early next week. I would like to request $50 for cat food and litter and some groceries in the meantime. Amazon wish list isn't available from where I am but I have Paypal. Thank you!
Hey everyone. I’m in a desperate spot. I’m a new mom with an almost 6 month old and I’m trying to leave my son’s father. My living situation is very unhealthy and I’m trying to leave to get to a family members house but I’m currently not working and can’t afford the travel or a hotel room. I was looking for apps that do cash advances. I’m having a hard time finding one that doesn’t require a direct deposit from work.
Anyone know of anything?
Thank you!
EDIT/UPDATE: Apparently cash advances and apps like this do not work in my state (CT). But thank you to everyone who tried to suggest something.
Hey everyone! I am so grateful to announce i was able to get the insulin i so desperately needed!!!! It was a tight tight squeeze but in doing so I can't get the gift or cake my son desperately wants! His cake is 13.99 and the gift i want to get is 18.99. Both at walmart!!!
Hey everyone! Hope this is okay to share - my sister’s adorable dog, Rigatoni (aka Tony), is in the running for America’s Favorite Pet, and we need help to get him to Number 1!
Tony is a little prince whose favorite pastimes include staring out the window and charming waiters into sneaking him food under the table. Every vote gets him closer to victory, and it only takes a few seconds!
🗳 Vote here: https://americasfavpet.com/2025/rigatoni-5a5e (There are lots of pictures of him to prove how adorable he is!)
📅 You can vote for free once a day, so feel free to come back daily!
Feel free to share with family and friends if you feel inclined to! If Tony wins, he gets featured on the cover of Modern Dog and wins $10,000. My sister is heading into the final year of her PhD program, and that kind of financial cushion could make a world of a difference for her. I'm trying to be the best sister I can and make it happen!
Let’s get Tony to the top! 🚀🐕

Hi all!
My mum has been painting again in the past few years as a way to help her ease her anxiety. She paints pretty much all day every day, and still doesn't see how good she is!!
She has severe agoraphobia and PTSD, so she doesn't leave the house. Like. At all. Ever. :(
However she's been an absolute gem and got me through some of my darkest times, whilst also struggling herself.
She still believes that she sucks and she deserves to not feel that way anymore. I want to make her feel even a fraction of the happiness that she had.provided for me in the darkest of my times.
I've tried to get her to sell her art for years now, she does stones and resins, canvases etc put she just needs that extra push to see how great she is!!
Here is the link - on the category check under 'close up cats' (I've attached a pic below)
Or just type 'Dawn'
Thanks folks! This means the world! ♥️♥️
I’m 24F, working as a physiotherapy assistant. I graduated with kinesiology 2 years ago and it took me a while to find a job in my field but I finally did— and I love it!
I wanna go back and get my masters in the next 5 years. In what, I’m not completely decided yet. But what I have decided is that I will be moving to Japan in March for about a year as an English teacher! I’ve already bought tickets and everything so I’m pretty set on it.
This isn’t by any means a career or money move. I mean, im open to where my career will take me as I don’t have any solid plans yet, but I know for a fact I won’t be making much money. I just wanted the life experience and the memories before I eventually go back to school and start working into my late adult years.
I had a conversation with my family and like always, they got in my head. Am I making a stupid move? My brother says that it’s best to stick with my current job for at least a year so that it appeals to other companies and offers apt translation before other positions. I don’t know if I want to stay for a year, but will I regret this?
I don’t even want to stay in physio for my whole life but I’m thinking maybe he’s right, and future companies will label me a “job hopper”.
Also, without a side hustle in Japan, I’m just going to be perpetually broke for the foreseeable future. I know this, I just don’t know if I’m making a mistake or not.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! It really meant so much to me. I didn’t think anyone would care about an old lady, but thank you. I ordered my pizza and when the delivery person gave it to me, it fell out of the box, but they replaced it for me and because it was my birthday, they added some brownies for it. I was thrilled and for the person who sent me money for coffee I am saved it for this weekend because I’m gonna go and get a coffee and sit at the park and just think thank you again for everything you guys did you made my day!
My baby girl Gemi has a large urinary stones in her bladder that requires surgery. She has had multiple urinary tract infections in the last year and finally we have a reason why. Estimated lowest end cost is $2600 usd. Can anyone please help? I will send you pictures and estimates on the surgery if that helps! She is my clumsy little love bug and I really just need a little help so she can start to feel better.
I care for my disabled mom and boy we've been going through it lately.
Last week we had the first snowfall and hard freeze in my part of Georgia in almost 30 years and it just nuked our shallow well pump.
My cousin is a handyman and can fix it, but I still need to purchase the actual pump which is $214. I'm $79 short of being able to afford it.
This is a really desperate need... Being without water has been a nightmare. Our neighbors have let us get multiple gallon jugs every day but that runs thin between needing water for the bathroom, shower, cooking, and drinking.
I've got venmo, zelle, and cashapp if anyone is able to help.
£20 offered for a UK resident for food
It's after pay day again. I'm offering £20 for one UK resident who needs food. The payment will have to be through bank account transfer as I don't use PayPal, so the recipient will need to give their name, bank account number and sort code via dm.
Please comment with your main reasons for needing money for food.
Don't message me unless I've agreed that you will be the recipient, or I'll report you.
I will decide at 10am GMT tomorrow, Saturday 1st Feb, to allow people who are not able to respond right now to comment.
Hi, this feels pretty silly but I’ve had an extremely rough year or so, and I’ve hugely neglected my own needs in order to support others. I’ve been the sole emotional support for many people and it’s been hard. I also have moral ocd which makes me feel like I’m not allowed to relax or laugh or have fun unless those people are totally entirely okay. In my head, I feel like I might be laughing at something and get terrible news and that heart-wrenching gutdrop feeling is worse than it is if I’m gritting my teeth and prepared for it, if that makes sense. Could use a kind word! 💕
