Hi all. I’m in a rough patch due to an unexpected emergency expense, and now I’m in the red. Timing was very bad, my disability check won’t come in for another week. My asthma inhaler has run out and I need help to get it refilled. It’s my maintenance med, Trelegy. It’s $131. Please, any help would be most appreciated. I have CashApp, Venmo and PayPal. Thank you for reading.

I'm a Canadian on disability with a few American friends that like to buy from my wishlist to help me out. They've had no issues for the last 4 years with buying items for me until just recently. Now when they try to view my wishlist, it says everything is out of stock or that "No featured offers are available" and they get a window that says "Currently, there are no other sellers matching your location and / or item specification. Try updating the filters or your location to find additional sellers.", even if they're on a CA account.

This has never been an issue before, everything has Prime delivery on my end and everything is available and in stock on my end but 3 of my American friends are unable to view any of my lists, even when I create a whole new one. What's going on? When did this change? What can we do?

Hello, I have been disabled/chronically ill for the last 8 months, post 2 brain surgeries, I have a VP shunt, generalized epilepsy (I can’t drive until 3/1/25 as a result), Chiari I malformation, IIH, SVT, psoriatic arthritis, bipolar I disorder, anxiety, visual field deficits, and many other health issues. I am in the process of getting my muscle weakness/neuropathy worked up. I'm unable to work currently (but still looking for sedentary RN jobs), and I'm waiting to see if I'm approved for disability.

Despite the fact that I have continued mobility and health issues, I am trying to use my RN licenses, certifications, and work. But I have received rejection after rejection. I am truly unwell, I am frequently in pain, it is hard to concentrate and read since everything’s happened to me. But I push forward. I re-read things, use Siri for dictation, and use the OpenDyslexia font wherever available.

I live with my stepdad. He works long hours at a job that doesn’t pay him the best, plus he is already 66 years old. He has to pay for my expenses and his, and things have been getting harder and harder for us lately. I know we are not the only people who are struggling. I created an Amazon wishlist with some essential items that would help us out around the house/help me out personally. Everything is affordable. Thank you for considering.

Hi everyone,

I’m a single dad of three amazing kids. Four years ago, their mom called me while I was at work and told me she no longer wanted to be married or a parent. When I got home, she was gone. We haven’t heard from her since (she’s alive but has no involvement or support). After the separation, we worked hard to rebuild our lives, and then COVID hit, adding another layer of challenges.

We’re originally from Georgia, but during that time, I took a job in the Bay Area to give us a fresh start. Things have been going well—my kids have finally settled in, made an incredible group of friends, and are thriving in a great school district.

I’ve been renting a home here while saving up to buy. So far, I’ve managed to save $10,000, but I need $30,000 for a down payment. Despite earning $120,000 a year, it feels like it’s not enough for this area, but it’s also too much to qualify for most assistance programs. I live within my means, but the cost of living is high.

Now, my landlord has informed me she plans to sell the house and has given me 60 days to move. This house, though it hasn’t been renovated in 30 years, is the least expensive in the neighborhood and the best chance I have to keep my family here. Homes in this area rarely come up for sale, and there are no other rental options within the school district.

My kids have already been through so much, and the thought of uprooting them now—just as they’re happy and stable—breaks my heart. Our neighbors have become like family, and this community means everything to us.

I’m doing everything I can to figure out how to secure the additional $20,000 needed for the down payment, but I’m running out of time and options. I’m reaching out to ask for help—whether it’s advice on grants, programs, or any kind of financial support that could bridge this gap.

Any guidance, resources, or support would mean the world to me and my kids. Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can provide.

hello everyone:) im currently experiencing a flare up (sciatica) and even just moving across the house really hurts right now, let alone cooking, even if i had decent food in the house. (food bank opens on Tuesday, unfortunately that does not help tonight) i would be forever grateful if someone could spare ~$50 to order something to eat. i feel like having a non frozen cooked meal for the 3 of us would at the very least boost me mentally. im not particularly expecting anything to come of this but its worth a shot 🤷 (sorry if this is kinda jumbled together! pain & hunger will do that lol) thanks to anyone who reads this far! may u all have a wonderful night:)

I need your help! After two years, I’ve finally been able to schedule an in-person job interview—it’s happening this Wednesday! But I urgently need help buying clothes that I can wear to the interview.

As a tall and big person, finding clothes in my size is a major challenge. Local stores like Walmart and the few others nearby don’t carry anything in my measurements—not even online. My only options are Amazon or Men’s Wearhouse, and both are expensive.

I used to have khakis that I’d kept since 2018 and a dress shirt that was originally bought for a funeral years ago. Unfortunately, the khakis ripped recently, so I had to throw them out, and I’ve since outgrown the shirt and donated it. Now I’m left without proper clothes for an interview.

This interview is a huge step forward for me, and having the right clothes would make all the difference in feeling confident and making a great impression. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to me.

Thank you so much for considering and helping me take this next step!

I commented on an offer post here and was chosen at a time that couldn’t have come at a better time. 3 day rent notice, gas disconnected notice & my alternator went out..and then I received an angel Sitting here counting my blessings STILL. Thank you u/thecakeisntalie. The endless cans of soup the meals I’ve made and still have left. Thank you so very much 🙏

I am homeless living in my car. I recently got a job but do not get paid for about a week and a half. My job requires me to have working cell service. My phone got shut off a few days ago and today I got my first and only warning about it. I am very, very worried about losing my employment over this. I am asking for the minimum amount to restore my service. Since id fallen so behind on it I have to pay 75% of the outstanding balance to restore service, im in need of $208 dollars. I could also use help with something to eat/a little bit of gas I’m doing the absolute best I can to survive and get out of this position. If anyone can help please DM me. Thank you 🙏🏼

EDIT. RECEIVED HELP FROM A VERY WONDERFUL, AMAZING PERSON FOR MY PHONE BILL. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH 🙏🏼🙏🏼

A huge weight is lifted off my shoulders. Although I could use a little bit of help with some food/gas to get me through. I am so grateful for all of the advice and support. Thank you all

SECOND UPDATE- I have received help for both food and gas, more than I was expecting. I’m overwhelmed with the generosity & cannot express my thanks enough. At this point I am no longer in immediate need, but im not in any position to turn down any help.

Thank you all for the support. I’m speechless. This is my first time posting in this thread and just the amount of people who cared to give advice and try and help me is so incredibly appreciated. Thank you so much ❤️

Hello everyone I paid my phone bill and insurance which left me short on until payday my stomach is very upset with me I’m not asking for money or gifts just food please would it be possible for someone to place a pickup at Papa John’s? There’s also a hunts brothers pizza which might be cheaper I’ll take the smallest or cheapest anything thank you.

My mom had a three year battle with uterine cancer. She started out with chemotherapy and radiation treatments and it seemed to be working well in the beginning. Last October, she began to have issues with her kidneys and from on out she was in and out the hospital. In September of this year, her oncologist decided to stop cancer treatment because it wasn't working and recommended hospice. My siblings and I decided not to place her in a facility and did in-home hospice. We watched our mom suffer for about two and half months and she finally passed away on 11/12. My mom was very strong and never complained nor cried about her situation, so that's what is keeping me strong. But I'm still having a hard time coping with this. I lived at home with my mom, brother and 3 year old son who is autistic. I'll be honest, it was very difficult taking care of her and my son while still working full time. I was drained and overwhelmed. But I miss her so much and I am very lonely at home. I have no one to speak to and my brother is hardly here. My brother is in school and has no income so now the rent will be in my name and I'm nervous about my new responsibility. I was already struggling with taking care of myself and my son with the income that I have and now with more bills, I don't know how I'm going to do it. I feel so lonely without her, I don't feel like cooking or cleaning... I've been trying my best to keep myself busy but I just want to run away...:

Hi, everyone!

This is my first time posting so I apologize for any formatting issues (posting from mobile).

I'm a single mom of two girls who has recently found myself in a tight spot financially. Despite the bills and other expenses piling up, the only thing I'm genuinely panicking about is how to get some groceries in the cupboards for my girls and myself, and my payday is still over a week away.

I live in a fairly rural area so the amount of food banks we have is limited, but I have visited the ones my town offers and have reached my max allotment this month (there are only 2 and you can visit once per month). I also recently applied for SNAP benefits and am just waiting for my interview. All this to say that I am being as proactive as possible!

If you've made it this far thank you so much! Here's to a great holiday season for all of you!.

Location is Wyoming/United States

I’m reoffering this Starbucks e-Gift card because the original winner was in a nursing home and I think has dementia and forgot about the card.

So I still have this gift card to offer since it hasn’t been picked up or used. If you’d like a treat, let me know in the comments and I will pick someone at random.

Must have a valid email address to receive the card.

I am $8-10 one-way from the nearest plasma donation center and I'm terrified to spend the little funds I have just to get turned down due to medical reasons (high bp, runs in my family and I have chronic anxiety) even if I can't donate my partner will join me and try to. $20 would get me there and back + small tip first thing tomorrow morning as they close early Sundays. I have venmo, cashapp, PayPal, and I think Zelle. Anything left over goes to groceries and food for my cat 🙏🏻 thank you for reading

Can anyone help with some personal hygiene products

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/13P7X8D1TUOMV?ref_=wl_share

I'm currently stranded at work. I need a lyft back and even a bit to help me buy a bike would be a godsend. I am struggling bad i just got this job and don't want to lose it. I can dm my cashapp or zelle. I appreciate even the smallest bit thank you. I should probably add that: A bike would be no more than $100 there are a lot on marketplace for less. A lyft back home is about $30.

Hi everyone! I have to start by saying I am at fault for this, as my phone number was entered in a website that didn’t end in .gov. It was a private website, and now they won’t stop calling me. I understand that I technically consented, but this is harassment. I have blocked all the numbers that have come in, submitted forms to revoke access, and put my number on the do not call list.

Is there anything else I can do? I know I can change my phone number, but I really don’t want to do that (even though it might be the only solution if nothing works). I usually just ignore the phone calls and my phone has an option to send unknown callers to voicemail. When I do answer, it’s usually a person asking if I want individual or family coverage. I just tell them to stop calling me at that point. Other times, I’ll answer and nobody else is on the other end. They never leave a voicemail.

Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you.

I’m so desperate that I don’t even know where to turn to. My mom’s been really sick these past 2 weeks, we finally had an urgent care nurse come to the house, she said it’s simply a viral infection but it seems to be hitting her really, really hard. We don’t have a car, so have to rely on delivery for her prescriptions which costs an extra $10. Right now we only have $10.95 in the bank, no food left and could really use some help to get her prescriptions over so she can at least start feeling a little better without having to go to the hospital.

I have Venmo & Cash App. Any help, suggestions on where to look for help, or positive vibes to get through this, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm employed full-time with the local school district working with Special Education students and my husband is a full-time student. We have had an incredibly rough few years, with job losses, car accidents, illnesses, and family conflict. We have been living with a family member of mine, but due to interpersonal conflicts between them, my husband was recently asked to leave.

Our car is on the fritz right now (possibly the radiator fan, and I submitted requests with r/borrow and r/simple loans for this when it rains, it pours.) With our finances already low due to our normal bills and the car, he has nowhere to stay and we have no way to cover a hotel stay. We're looking for assistance to temporarily stay in a hotel until we can get in contact with the city/county emergency resources tomorrow (Monday, November 18).

Fortunately, rooms in EC are very reasonable - our preferred area for work and school would be around Craig Rd. The hotels in that area are Quality Inn, Super 8, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Best Western. Google has rooms at Quality Inn for $54 at the moment.

We are looking for assistance in getting a room for at least 2 nights (tonight, Sunday, and tomorrow night, Monday) while we work with local resources to find a permanent solution. We are also asking for assistance for food during this time.

I prefer to use Venmo but I am willing to look at other options.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this! Our love and light to you all. ❤️

This is for anyone who needs clothes or stuff that can be bought off TJX Max. I got 30$ worth of reward certificates as a gift to whoever would use them. It is not for sale but a gift. God bless💯. I will pick random.❤️ I already gave 60$ which was my initial plan but seems a lot more can use another 30$. So still giving another 30$ to one last person to call it a day ❤️

Hi everyone, I am a university student who is currently working on a research essay. The topic is assistive devices for people with visual impairment, and any concerns people may have when using these devices. If you have any experiences with this, I would appreciate it if you could take my survey: https://forms.gle/dBguV7m5ZuCenEwk8

I’m trying to raise money for car repairs. I have a 2014 traverse. Yesterday morning (Friday Nov 15) I went to start my car to take my children to school and my youngest to therapy and instantly knew something was wrong from the moment I started it. We were unable to make it to therapy today, I didn’t want to drop my son off not knowing if I’d make it or be able to pick him up.

after having it diagnosed , there is an oil leak and the flex pipe needs replaced. I was given a quote from the shop we were diagnosed at, and called several other shops. I’m looking at close to $950 in repairs. The largest repair is the oil leak, as the flex pipe can be cut , and the part rewelded back on for under $500.

Not only does this vehicle get me to my job, it gets my son to his therapies. He is autistic and attends ABA therapy 5 days a week. The more he misses, he will be dropped from therapy and put back on a waiting list.

Hi, my name is Lika. My partner and I,Khalil, are currently in the process of beginning our move to Houston, Texas. We have been able to secure better work opportunities for both of us, and it's also closer to our family.

It has been a very difficult year for our family. Between trying to balance our finances, repair our broken-down car, and cope with the unexpected loss of a close family member. We are asking for help today towards affording our relocation and making this process easier. Any help will be appreciated as we have a lot to cover with over $1,000 in moving fees, not including moving trucks, application fees, and other costs associated with our move.

we are really hoping for a miracle right now.

Thank you

Below I have attached my gofundme link. I have also attached it in the comment section.

u/eggsco thank you thank you. Baby girl was sooooo happy to get her mail today. She knew someone was blessing her but didn't know what. She went to bed excited and woke up excited. First words when she got up was, "soooo mom, when is the surprise going to be?" 😆 she tried it all on. Perfect!!!! Thank you so much. Small to others but HUGE to us in our home. BIG blessings for her. Happy 8 year old. Thank you so much.

My boyfriend was able to pickup his late Father's guitars from pawn today. This relieved of us worry and stress while also granting us space to handle other tasks at hand. Huge shoutout to the individual who fulfilled this ask.

Could anyone help me with bus fare to my physical therapy appointments this week? I got in a bad car crash 2 months ago and my money real tight right now Is 1.50 and I have to go there 3 times a week. Thanks in advance! I have cash app

This is a niche request but maybe someone out there can help me. I've been addicted to Kratom for 6 years and need help with detox. I've been calling and e-mailing different doctors but none in my area (Connecticut) have any idea how to treat Kratom cause it's not as common as illegal drugs.

Basically I'm just looking for ANYONE who can help. It can be a psychiatrist, MD, rehab facility, telehealth, literally anything that can help get me through withdrawal's. I've only found one rehab place who is familiar but no insurance is accepted so it costs $7000 which I don't have.

Also, if there is a sub dedicated to finding doctors that I may not know about, that'd be a huge help too.

If anyone feels like joining me on my google hunt I'd be forever grateful. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! I'm reaching out to this amazing community for help as I'm currently facing a challenging situation.

After graduating from college with a degree in Animation and Art & Design, my student PC (an Intel Celeron) broke down, leaving me unable to continue working on my craft. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to afford a replacement since I’ve been unemployed for quite some time. Despite applying for jobs since the beginning of the year, the only position I’ve been able to secure was a teaching assistant role, where I was paid just a little over 50 USD a month.

I'm currently living with my parents in a suburban area where computer cafes are nonexistent, making it even more difficult to access the tools I need. Before my PC broke, I used to write proposals to companies and was able to land a few contracts. I’m eager to pick up where I left off, get back on my feet, and regain my productivity.

While my main request is for a used or refurbished computer, perhaps someone has one laying dormant. I’d also be grateful if anyone is willing to help me with some money instead. However, I completely understand that many people here may prioritize more immediate needs like food and shelter. That’s why I'm mainly requesting a refurbished computer, but any help at all would mean the world to me. The dollar is much higher than my home currency, so even a few bucks could go a long way toward helping me get back on track.

I’m happy to share my portfolio with anyone interested in seeing my work or learning more about my background. I would also love to give back to this community once I’m back on my feet by sharing knowledge, experiences, or offering help in any way I can.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. I truly appreciate any support or suggestions you may have.

I am in school to get my degree. I filled out my FAFSA and due to having previous credits from another university, I assumed I was a sophomore. Turns out, I’m a freshman. This caused the amount of aid to decrease and I owe $500 dollars. It has to be paid before I can register for my classes for the semester starting in January. They waited until halfway through the semester to even inform me that I had to pay $500 from this semester and I can’t set up a payment plan because it’s too late in the semester.

I am tight on funds because I have 3 kids and my money goes towards making sure they have what they need.

This was all supposed to work out perfectly, but as my username suggests, I can’t catch a break. So I’m asking for help.

I set up a spotfund and am asking if there is anyone who can help me. Even if it’s just a dollar. Every little bit counts.

I thank everyone who can help. Spotfund

i'm not from usa, so i can't use it
