Hey guys,

I could really use some help with some basics I'm really running low on. I'm a single dad and just trying to keep going. Any help would be appreciated more than you know.

Hi there! I was directed here by a friend of mine on another platform to post and see if I could get some help with this.

For a while now, I've been a single mother - since January 2020 to be exact. My son's father is a no-show and the child support agency can't find him to serve him the paperwork in order to establish any child support. So I've been doing everything on my own up until now with the bills surmounting way over what I can afford, all because I had to keep taking from credit cards to pay utilities and medical bills.

Everything has finally piled up to where I can no longer sustain my son and I, and it's now to where I have been served a 5 day pay-or-vacate letter from my housing management. From what they are listing, I owe them $3686.58 in back payments of rent, which is overshot because I'm only behind by two months - which is $2300. They are adding in whatever payments that were not made via the prior property management because I disputed them. However, the old property management and the new ones never returned my calls pertaining to those disputes, so now I'm kind of up the creek without a paddle.

If ANYONE could help, please go to the GoFundMe link at the end. I also updated it with images of the notice I received (after business hours) today, which was shoved underneath my door and I didn't see it until I went to go walk to the bathroom after getting home from work after 6pm...

Any help is absolutely appreciated. I'm scared of losing everything I've worked hard to just barely keep afloat, I don't want my son to have to learn how to be homeless when he's only 9...

I'm only hoping to cover the amount that they're demanding ($3686.58) ASAP, I'm not expecting anything much higher than that...

Hi, I'm a 57-yr old grandma of two little ones who have been in Louisiana foster care for more than 20 months. I moved cross-country to fight for them, and after nearly two years, I brought them home in May as an adoptive foster and I'll be permanently adopting them in November.

This has been pretty much the most important and difficult thing I've ever done in my life. During this ordeal, I've uncovered federal level violations and corruption, and have worked with the state legislative branch quietly and will be testifying before them at the end of the year. Our case alone has been used to increase funding to expand the watchdog group and will be changing laws. What happened with my grandkids will not be happening anymore, and a class action is coming together because of what we uncovered. My grandkids are 2 and 5, and they have been through hell. But they still laugh, smile, and love every day, and for me that is the biggest win of all.

Also I'm fighting cancer! 14 years ago, cancer ended my firefighter/medic career. At the start of my grandkids' ordeal, I was diagnosed with a reoccurrence of a completely different type of breast cancer with mets to my lungs, but left treatment to move to Louisiana to fight for the kids. I finally got medicaid and an oncologist shortly before obtaining custody of the kids, so I've been in chemo since day one of their coming home.

I'm bald. I'm sick. There are some tough days, but there are more happy ones. I'm close to being done with chemo and then will do immunotherapy until April of next year. I have every expectation of surviving this and flourishing.

My grandkids have a lot of challenges ahead of them due to a severe brain injury bringing them into foster care and then neglect and failure to meet their needs on the part of the agency - for almost two years. They were placed in different foster homes and had never met before I moved here and began in-person visitation with them. The case is confidential so I cannot say a lot more until after the adoption is final, but my fight for them uncovered federal level violations and abuse as well as trafficking and I'm absolutely determined that they will never do to another family what has happened to ours, ever again.

My granddaughter turns 2 in a couple weeks. She was completely non-verbal in May, but is now speaking in full sentences. My grandson just started kindergarten - and they wanted to hold him back in pre-K another year in May. He's doing great.

They've come so far and I couldn't be more proud of them, except for the times I'm outraged by what has happened to them and how their challenges now would never have existed had it not been for corruption, incompetence, abuse, and more.

Despite all this, we are a happy loving family. But the cost of this win has wiped me out financially and we could use help. For instance, because of state and legislative involvement in our case, DCFS has been retaliatory and I fear applying for food stamps as it may be used against us in November for the adoption. My income has dropped considerably given the children have numerous medical and other related appointments on a weekly basis (I am an editor, remote), plus my own cancer appts and costs, and I've also been hit back to back with some large financial issues, such as moving cross country, the legal fight for the kids, my English mastiff service dog suffering from kidney failure, and finding possibly the parish's worst mechanic who has really messed up our car on simple mechanical work, to include destroying the AC system.

Both my grandson and I require immuno infusions that make us incredibly sensitive to heat - and this is Louisiana. Plus my grandson is in the process of testing for lupus and heat and direct sunlight are triggers. He has to go to New Orleans every few weeks for his immunotherapy (5-6 hours each way) and last time ended up in the Baton Rouge ER due to heat related illness connected to his autoimmune disorder. So it's a real problem.

And since May, we've had a severe rhino 1/2 virus (twice) and COVID, and currently have yet another cold or flu. For me, on top of chemo illness, it's been especially difficult.

Beyond all that stuff though, we are happy. I'm a musician (bass, guitar, violin) and artist, or I was when I had free time. The grandkids are also into music and art, and I love seeing it. My favorite music is the sound of them laughing. They are my world.

So I'm keeping on with this fight for them and for the other families that have suffered similarly under a shockingly corrupt system. And I'm going to shine a very bright light on it so no one can hide and that this stops.

My grandson overheard me talking to someone about this case, and popped up with, "They picked the wrong chick to mess with, coz that's my Grammy." I have to say, that may be one of my proudest moments in life, LOL. NGL.

When I'm not fighting evil, LOL, I am your typical GenX with a lot of sarcasm and irreverence. I was really into motorcycles for years, loved being a first responder, and love being a grandma more.

Feel free to ask me anything; I'll answer as long as I'm legally allowed.

There's a lot we need, and I have recently started a GoFundMe and an Amazon Wish List, if you have room to spare for help. I know times are tough for everyone, so I'm not really expecting much from this, and that's ok too. If you have words of encouragement or know of resources (because I am doing this completely alone and without family, cancer charity, or state assistance) those things would help too.

Peace and best wishes to you all and never let the bad guys win, no matter how big they are. 🩷

Hi everyone.

My heart aches as I share this story. I've gone numb to waking up every night to my mother sobbing on a prayer mat.

My mother's side of the family lives in Pakistan, while we're here in Canada. They live in poverty, barely making enough to live day to day. They live in a country where corruption thrives, so simply working hard to get out of poverty is nearly impossible. Then came October, a month that tore our world apart. My mom's younger sister, just 31, was diagnosed with advanced cancer. The doctors barely granted her a week to live, but she couldn't even hold on for three days. She was hoping for another doctor's appointment to explore her options, but life had other plans. She slipped away in her younger sister's arms, leaving us in shock and disbelief. Her illness remained hidden due to the costs of regular medical visits.

Life seemed to mend slowly until June hit us like a freight train. Two more of my aunts (my mom's sisters) were diagnosed with cancer, each devastating blow coming right after the loss of their sister. One, only 28, was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. The other, 30, with Leukemia. The news came within days of each other, our family still grappling with their recent tragedy. After navigating through a labyrinth of struggles and medical tests (the healthcare system there is far from ideal), they have finally started chemotherapy.

My aunt with Leukemia is in dire need of a bone marrow transplant, a procedure that comes with a price tag of around $15,000 (Canadian). In Pakistani rupees, that's roughly half a million. All I desire is to give them a fighting chance. I'm a student juggling part-time work, and I've already depleted my savings to help them access chemotherapy and necessary medications.

I'm fully aware that the sum is substantial, but even the smallest contribution can make a world of difference. If you've read this far, my heartfelt gratitude goes out to you. If donating isn't feasible, your prayers for them would mean the world. And if you're skeptical and need verification (medical records, video chats, lab results, and more), don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hey!

I am an eco-activist fighting to bring nature back into the city! I plant local wildflowers, clean litter, build bug hotels out of scraps, distribute seed packets with informational texts into mailboxes I also pick cigarette buts from bus stops to be donated to a start-up making 3D filament out of them. I want to do more and also keep going, but my student wallet is not suitable for that.. could you help me? You'll find info on what it'll go towards in more detail under the link, I am also willing to answer any questions!

Within the last two years I've been planting wildflowers in the city both by sprinkling as i go and planting them in the ground by hand. Fighting against monocultural lawns and bare patches.

​

Last year I picked 67 100-liter bags aka. 6700 liters of trash.

​

All butts will be donated to a startup making 3D filament of them. New signs will have more information on the effects of butt litter and statistics.
