Hi folks,

My husband and I have been in a tough spot for the last few weeks while he was out of work. He just started a new job, but won't get paid until next week. Right now my priority is to keep gas in the car so he can get to work and get a can of formula for our baby.

For the gas we just need $40 to fill up our tank. We would need $40 for the formula or we can send a link to a wishlist with it. We have Chime,Paypal,CashApp,Venmo,Zelle.

Thank you to anyone who helps us.

Edited to remove wishlist link.

Just hoping for $20-40 to get some food for the week. Got my bills paid and food for my dog, but ran short for myself, I'll live either way, but appreciate any assistance during the more difficult times. Thanks

Good evening. I'll be brief.

I may be too late to stop a potential r33p0 on top of needing to feed my home before my next paycheck. Which is why this exists.

Not for lack of looking up for resources but the threshold for anything that involves assistance in my state is next to impossible.

We're getting finances in order ahead of income tax returns (provided that DOGE + Elon Musk doesn't mess with that too).

$80 would definitely be a step in the right direction. Your response in the comments would be greatly appreciated. We can DM for any specifics with my full consent

Be easy, everyone.

I recently got laid off. I start a new job this week but have been surviving on what I can until it starts. Unfortunately two of my tires were ruined and I now have no transportation to my medical appointment and job this week. A neighbor has a couple of spares in my size that he will let go for 100$ until I can save enough for a new set of 4 (AWD car unfortunately). Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will def be paying it back to the “assistance universe” when I am back on my feet. I have a PayPal

Desperately need $267 to pay my Capitol one bill. I’ve been late three weeks and they won’t stop calling I don’t get paid until the 14th and am worried I won’t have enough on my next check. I work hard in education and have been battling diabetes which has just been getting worse regardless of diet change and medicine. Anything will help. All donations will go to my bill.

Apparently everyone in my house hold got the flu Just really hoping someone can help with a take out meal. I have a big house if 6. Looking for help of $80 if possible

I lost my job about 4 months back and it’s been rough. I recently just got hired which I’m extremely excited/grateful for! But the training is over a hour away and the job doesn’t offer transportation/hotel. I’m remaining optimistic but I need money for transportation/food for these next two weeks until my first check. $40 should be enough that I can stretch for two weeks. This is my last resort but thank you so much to whoever can help me!

I have 1 box of "pumping punch" drink mix and 1 bottle of "pumping hero" supplements to go to whomever needs them for lactation support. Both are still factory sealed but are no longer needed.

(UK based) Hi, I'm disabled and unable to work, relying on benefits. unfortunately I'm coming up short for groceries for the rest of the month as I had to spend a big chunk of my benefits this month on herbal meds for my mental health. I've made an Amazon wishlist for shelf stable groceries and would really appreciate any help to tide me over food-wise until I'm paid in 2 weeks. thank you so much!

Hi everyone, me and my roommate need help with food. We both work along with being independent college students however all our earnings go to rent+utilities and the food bank near us does not has anything aside canned vegetables. We both are trying to get a second job so we are able to buy a little more groceries but its been very hard.
Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Didn't ever think I'd have to post this here but I'm frankly lost. I live in Aurora Colorado near Denver and have just had my power cut by our energy overlords. I owe them a large amount of money due to my partners previous account (not sure how they linked us together). Together we have 6 kids and can't even come close to paying the minimum due. While we've been given some options by the company such as LEAP and a couple of charities, we want to try to cover all our options. Has anyone dealt with this before? Anything faster than the possibly 2 week turn around for our LEAP application? Thanks in advance.

hello r/Assistance . I am humbly, desperately here again asking for some help. throwing up a hail mary

I had to go to the Emergency room this morning, and found out I had a scratched cornea. the doctor prescribed me some antibiotics, and some eye-drops that help with the pain as it's excruciating. Im typing this post with one eye closed, throbbing and watering. I cant really open my eye without it burning horribly.

I'm back here again asking for some help, I need 75 dollars to be able to get my meds and an eye patch(the light hurts my eye, and the doctor said it would for a few days, atleast. The doctor put some numbing drops in this morning before i was discharged, but they're wearing off and i dont have any money to get my prescriptions. or medical or prescription insurance

I currently just had my living situation upended and had to move back in with my mom. I was staying with my fiancee at her moms house, but her mom needed to rent the room we were staying in. I just had to completely move cities 35 miles away from where i was, with me and 2 cats, and so im back to looking for another job in a new city, but ive only been here since Friday. hopefully i can have a few interviews lined up in a few days

I have my food situation, and cat situation sorted out from my last post. my mom isnt going to let us starve. but she can't afford to help with this right now, and I asked her first. and my fiancee is currently borrowing money from her brother for a car repair, so she cant help either.

I've been trying to sell my Warhammer models for money, but its been slow going, and i can only post every 5 days, and this week was a bust on selling the few models i have left, and my funds ran out a week ago.

I'm slowly still getting my life back on track, but I'm horribly desperate, and in pain. and frankly I don't know where else to ask for help around here

I have Paypal. I will be massively grateful for any help.

Thanks anyone that took the time to read my post. it's much appreciated.

Edit: added goodrx links so people can see ive already looked for the deepest discount.

med 1 (28.91$)

med 2 (27.74$)

Edit 2: i don't know if this will make a difference, but if people are concerned about sending 75 bucks, (which i understand) i made a go fund me, to try and get funds for this.

GoFundMe

I'm thankful for everyone's advice.

I’ve had some fulfilled requests the last couple months as I’ve been fleeing domestic violence and am homeless without a support system.

I’ve been able to get some state funded help and donations to my GoFundMe / CashApp that have allowed me to be fed, get the repairs needed on my vehicle & register it so I can live in it safely.

I know I’m not out of the woods yet, but I’m leagues ahead from where I was due to the help of this community. Thank you all. From the bottom of my heart.

My son’s future and my own was changed by your generosity & willingness to help me. I don’t know what I would’ve done without that help.

When I am able to, I will return that sentiment. I’m currently looking into mentorship’s & coaches, people that can guide me and help shape me into the person I know I can be since I don’t really have that in my life.

Thank you again & may your struggles pass with ease and the help of those around you.

Hiiya, if anyone is willing, could any of you fill this questionnaire? Its for my sister and her colleague and she asked me to spread it around considering that she doesn’t know how to use reddit yet. Just answer randomly if you want! Thank you

NSFW because of abuse mentions. I'm trying to free myself from a financially dependant relationship. I've been attempting to do this for a while but the funds I had saved ended up going towards my mother's cremation services after she passed early last month.

He pushed me with a few shoulder checks and spit on me purposely while screaming in my face last night because I was attempting to get pull ups and wipes from the bedroom. This is the point where I say enough is enough, because I know from everything else that this only escalates from here. I am not willing to risk that anymore.

I'm not trying to get free handouts but maybe sell a few pieces of my clay art I make to try and get on my feet enough to leave safely. I have a 4 year old autistic child that is always in my care because the dad doesn't think it's his job to raise his child. I have medical conditions that make it hard to work but I am looking for a possible daycare in walking distance that I can get a job at while bringing my kid along since I have no one to watch them and no license or car to get around to look for a daycare that can safely fulfill her needs without me there.

I know this is a long shot. I'm not trying to promote any business or anything like that. I'm seriously needing to get out before it's too late. He's losing his temper faster each month. There isn't love in this relationship but he still has threatened recently that if I leave he will not let me take or see our child anymore and says that CPS will side with him because I don't have money or a place to go and he will get daddy's money to help him get a good lawyer.

I can't leave our kid behind with him. He can't watch them for more than 40 minutes before he's losing his temper at me for daring to make him "babysit" when he "works hard work to support" me and then goes on to be hateful for the rest of the day. He isn't willing to learn our kids stims and learn how to help with meltdowns as he believes it's turning them into a "spouled brat" and wants to be old school about discipline. It doesn't work with our kid. He argues that everything I do is wrong.

So. I'm begging anybody that might be interested in helping me by buying something, I make miniature polymer clay wish jars designed as octopi and crabs. These are small and fit in your palm. They make great desk buddies or are great to put sand/dirt/ashes, etc in as a special memory keepsake. I think I have a few pictures posted in my history. I also make various things like snakes with succulents and little bear figures. I'm willing to try making almost anything to get this taken care of.

I have a shop online but I'm not trying to promote it. If anyone is possibly interested in helping please comment or message me and I will give you information.

I don't feel right asking for handouts. I just need help so I can get out safely with my child because I don't know when I can find a job near me. I hope I'm not violating any rules posting this. If so, I'm so sorry. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to listen.

We applied for Liheap in like early November, they said it looked good and all set and it would take 4-6 weeks to hear back. Well it’s February, the gas company has doubled their “delivery” cost so that heating is twice as much for the same amount of energy as it was a few months ago. And we were expecting to have assistance before now, but the bills are stacking up and LIHEAP hasn’t answered the phone or replied to any voicemails we’ve left, it’s been like 11-12 weeks since we applied and they said we were eligible and they had everything they needed (we were re-applying for the year, we got it last year) but last year they answered the phone, they sent us stuff saying we need this or that document… this year we haven’t heard anything haven’t been able to contact them at all 😭😭😭

Hello everyone, I hope you're in good spirits. I was laid off at the end of October 2024 after fighting with a sudden onset of symptoms that kept me from working since August of that year. From what I've found out is that I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia for sure, with a high likelihood that I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome.

I have been suffering from a plethora of symptoms, GI issues, elevated HR, bradycardia when I sleep, and much more especially when I am flaring up.

I am fighting to see if I qualify for medication that might help me, but the first things that tend to be offered to help with this syndrome have been increasing salt and water intake. That so far has been a mixed bag for my symptoms. I get physically exhausted with little effort and have landed myself in the ER multiple times with how tachycardic I have been.

I have applied for disability, and am fighting with unemployment insurance currently. That said, I am behind on rent and utilities, I have inquired about assistance in my area with LINEAP, and good stamps, so I am blessed in that regard.

I do have a gofundme that I can post up, but I want to make sure I am not stepping on anyone's toes in the sub. Any advice or kind words would be appreciated.

hello! new year new me am i right folks?

am an adhd-haver that is looking for a study accountability partner!

uni student between the ages of 18-25 that's a girl would be highly preferable!

dm if interested

let's get this bread.

Hi! I've been job hunting for several months. I get interviews and I'm consistently runner-up, but I can't seem to close the deal. In an effort to try to figure out where I'm going wrong I started recording my interviews (this is legal in my state.) I'm looking for someone who would be willing to listen to a recording of an interview I had last week and give me feedback. Thanks so much.

Hi everyone!

My cat is currently entered in a contest. He needs DAILY votes and it’s FREE to vote once a day!

There is a cash prize which I could REALLY REALLY use. My house burned down last year and I’ve been living in a bedroom with my boyfriend in his mom’s house.

I have four cats in total so you can imagine it’s been very rough. We’re not in a place right now to afford the process of getting a place of our own. Most places require application fees, pet deposits, security deposits, and first month’s rent. The cash prize from this contest would greatly help us both out as we really need a place of our own. We both currently work so we would be able to afford monthly expenses. I’m also looking for a second job and he’s also hoping to start a side business. All the more reason why a place of our own is crucial so he could have an office space for his work. But most importantly, I need a home of my own for my babies. They don’t deserve to be trapped in a room. They deserve to run around freely and explore every inch of a home, especially when they get zoomies.

Please help me out, I don’t have any other people to ask to vote for me. I really would appreciate this so so much.

Edit: So far this morning I have been getting bombarded non stop by spam accounts. Is this what happens on reddit? And I don't mean to sound rude sry.

I went and found my Go Fund Me again so here is the link. The difficulty that I have asking for help is that I don't know an exact total as this is an ongoing thing.

=======================

I have never posted before so sorry if I screw this up.

I have a long annoying story. I'll try to summerize. I'm a mother of two girls. November of 2022 I was able to escape a long term abusive relationship with my ex bf. I'll leave out the details but think any hallmark of abuse you can think of was present but mostly a behind closed doors situation so it was hard to prove anything. There was an event however and I was able to get an emergency op and he was escorted permenently from my home. We were never married. Only have our kids in common. And for most of our relationship he refused to work. When he did the $ was his and only his. Any of my $ was also his. I literally have no savings, no retirement fund, all sorts of debts I have crawled repeatedly out from under for years. One of the main factors in abusive relationships no one talks about is financial abuse. It traps the victims. There really is no help for it. And there are many forms and complexities to that too. So I was already hard off when he was sent away.

As a victim early on I felt guilt and shame and I failed to press charges. My mistake. He got an attorney and filed for custody of our kids in family court and I have been stuck in this black hole of dispair ever since.

Family and friends have helped me with the costs but last year it went from bad to worse. I was working an assistant manager retail job and barely making ends meet then when I was asked to step down (or be fired) due to the court date interruptions, lawyer calls, my mental health etc. They let me keep my health insurance until this year so that just ended in January.

My mortgage was on a 6 month emergency deferment until January. I am working two part time jobs and a 3rd side gig sometimes helping a friend clean houses/do yard work.

I have Snap and just signed up for state medical. I have an autoimmune disease I need to take medication daily for.

My last car was falling apart at the seams at nearly 300k miles so a friend helped me get a used car with less miles. Ironically... I have discovered it has almost all of the same problems with the front end needing replaced. I can't imagine it's these midwestern roads or anything.... 🙄

My parents are on fixed incomes and cannot help much more and my brother is laid off of his job...

My best best bestest friend in the wide world that I love so very very much is no longer talking to me. He has helped me the most just and just found out his sister has ovarian cancer and it sounds really bad. Their family is bracing for the finacial impact of those costs and he can no longer help me. He is exhausted with my situation and doesn't know what else to do. Not that they don't care, they are just overwhelmed. I have had people walking away from me left and right. Too exhausted to carry on. I get it though...

My ex vowed he would ruin my life. He vowed he would drive everyone away from me and drown me finacially. His mother told me I would never be rid of him. (She was demanding I add her and him to the title of the house) this is their revenge for me...thinking I got away... And it feels like it is working.

I have lost track of how much this court case has cost me so far. Maybe around $50k.

I have my tax return coming end of February so that will be a welcome relief but I do not know for how much longer this case will go on for.

My house is falling apart because I have not been able to invest in repairs. I had an ice dam last winter over my garage that damaged the inside drywall of the ceiling and the mounts for the garage door are falling out so I don't really use it right now.. I don't own an 8 ft ladder so I have not seen how bad the water damage is inside the attic but the insulation definately needs replacing and baffles put in. The windows are literally rusted and dry rotted falling out of the walls. We don't try to open them incase they fall apart more. I can't imagine what the wood behind the siding looks like under these windows. This house is all my kids and I have. I can't let it fall apart because it is my absolute last resort is to sell this place.

There's a lot...a lot a lot... this is his revenge on me. They, the court and he, l have me trapped in this house and they are financially draining me and my family and friends until my world caves in and I crumble and die.

He and his last attorney calluded with the previous judge to get rid of the order of protection they rewrote my "temporary" parenting plan to take all days and split them in half. I get the girls over nights all week and he gets them every other weekend. But they laughed at me. Said I couldn't go more than 25 or 50 miles from my house at a time.... because on nonschool days i have to sit here and wait for him to show up and get them. Everyday. He has been trying to breakninto my place so I have some cameras now but the adt costs monthly...

The only good news is there was a wistleblower on the judge and he was permenently removed to the traffic court. This does nothing for me though...you cannot sue for what someone did while on the bench.

I have a new attorney. He said my last attorney could have reversed all of that within a 30 day period but it is as if they were all working against me. It has been over two years of nothing but delays. Any court order he violates he gets away with it. He never gets in trouble. If ai bring this up they roll their eyes at me. There are laws to "prevent" abusive litigation, but it can take upwards of 6 years or more to "prove" it happened. Family court is a different animal. I heard judges are literally trained to not believe reports of abuse by mothers and kids.

My last hail mary is I am looking for another attorney who was reccomended by a friend of a friend so maybe I will be taken seriously and they will close this case.

After that... I may just give up. I was warned by other mother's in this area that this is the sop now for family court and the kids may as well age out before this is over and whoever runs out of money first loses the kids... I have been an emotional wreck and unable to heal through any of this because we are forced to see him everyday. I've tried to be numb and disassociate.

I was going to counseling for free through my local dv crisis center until 3 weeks ago but I wanted to pick up training and extra work hours but it's a new fiscal year and hours get reduced... I have been taking free emergency magement training from FEMA and doing anti-terrorism and homeland security training between the Army JKO and the local community college. I have no idea what I am doing or where this is going. I had this dream of getting a better job out of the area and forcing them to let me and my kids finally go. But with this new administration... I don't know anymore.

There really is no end in sight and I feel like having a break down and heart attack on the daily. I also do art on the side, something that is actually pretty liberating because he used to throw away my art and supplies... but that hasn't gone anywhere and I just hide these days.

I have a GoFundMe...somewhere. I set it up to help with court costs and car repairs and shared it to my facebook page but I just get people treating me like I am scamming them... sideways looks and all... they can't imagine this is all true. I have been trying to hide from his stalking too so most of my stuff is completely private and I am paranoid he is lurking around.

Advice is welcome.

Thanks.

Hi! I'm living in Poland and last month due to my health problems I've been sent on 3 month sick leave. My earnings during that time are reduced and I can't start any additional work because of the sick leave. I'm just one week to my paycheck but I ran out of money as of today.

Would any one be so kind and help me during that time with like 25$ or €? It would be enough to buy supplies to last for that week.

I have paypal and revolut. Thank you very much in advance. My dms are of course open.

Hello! 👋 I am a Master of Counselling student, currently in the data collection phase of my research. We're interested in the experiences of Malaysians who are currently in a long-distance relationship (LDR).

I have plenty to eat. I have a roof.. My bills are paid. I am Blessed but my dang car died on me today. It’s going to cost over 1800$ to repair. I do not have anything to sell or anyone to ask. It’s my only way to get anywhere. I live in a super rural area walking isn’t an option . It’s very important that I have reliable transportation for drs appts and to help out my mother who is 79. Praying the right eyes will see.

Request fulfilled - thank you 🙏 I was rear ended and disabled over four years ago and have been fighting very hard ever since to feed myself and get medical care. I really need a little to get my cat and i through the next week. I have $20 in my savings right now. I made an Amazon wishlist upon other’s recommendations, I’ve linked it below wishlist

Hi I am new here!

I am putting in a request to ask for some assistance in keeping my phone on, it was disconnected today but my phone is essential as I need to keep in contact with the outside world.

I am actively trying to look for employment and also planning on enrolling in an online training course but I can’t do any of that as my phone service is now disconnected.

I owe my cellular provider $587 but as I have fallen on hard times and struggling financially, any amount will help and will be greatly appreciated in getting the bill paid off.

I am overwhelmed and stressed with the bills that are currently due and that are piling up aside from my phone.

I have PayPal and Interac E-transfer as I am currently in Canada.

I can also provide the account number to make it easier for anyone who wishes to help.

Thank you with much respect and appreciation in advance, I will absolutely return the favour and will pay it forward in the near future on here.

God Bless 🙏🏻

Hello,

It's with some shame I make this request, as I've never e-begged before, but I haven't eaten since Thursday and just need 5 dollars for some Ramen. Normally, I'm able to do surveys to make enough money for food but unfortunately Sunday is a slow day.

I lost my job after moving into a new apartment and am going to court to get evicted tomorrow, so that's why I'm in this situation.

Thank you.

EDIT: I have PayPal and Venmo. PayPal would be preferred, though.
