Looking for Aid dealing with frequent bus trips for medical appointment.

I am currently on Income Support(Fixed Income) and had to make multiple trips to the City for Medical Appointments. I am having boughts of temporary blindness, as a result of excess CSF causing the Optic Nerve to swell and bulge into the back of my eyes. I will be needing surgery to remove a lesion from the center of my brain.

So far I've:
- One Round Trip to see a Specialist that confirmed what the Eye Doctor Saw(submitted requisition for MRI)
- One Round Trip for the MRI. Diagnosed with a lesion(possibly a Colloid Cyst) in the middle of my brain measuring approximately 1.5 cm (SI) x 1.2 cm (AP) x 1.1 cm (between the size of a pea and a peanut)|
- One Same Day Round Trip booked to see Doctor for Neurosurgery Consult.

Future Trips:
- One Round Trip for Brain Surgery(unless decided it needs to be done urgently enough that I need to reschedule my return trip for the consult).|
- One Round Trip to see Specialist again to confirm the initial vision problems are resolved.
- Additional MRI's to confirm cyst has been fully removed/isn't returning

Each bus trip costs ~35 CAD, Accommodations provided by a friend(couch), Food cost 35 CAD - 85 CAD.

Looking to sell some Generative Art to help offset these costs (past and future). Donations welcome also. PayPal and Swipe available.

Goal 300 CAD. Anything extra would allow me to treat myself for my Birthday (Nov 12).
Currently have enough for this upcoming trip, may need to forgo some groceries for the trip for surgery(depending on when and if I need to have an extended stay since the bus only runs Mon and Fri and not on holidays; Remembrance Day lands on a Monday).

Wishlist for escaping

Hey! I’ve managed to find a roommate and a place to rent to move out, I’ve been living with my ex (who sexually assaulted me) and his parents for years now, they took me out of foster care and now I’ve been living here. I can just barely afford the rent but I’m trying my best to make it work because I can’t do this anymore. I’ve created an Amazon wishlist of home essentials- prices ranging from $1.99 CAD to $40 CAD, items ranging from food to household items to hygiene products to cleaning products, etc. This would help me out greatly. Anything would help me even just boosting the post

Please donate as much as you can, and also please share this with your friends and family or post it on your social media to spread the word to help save the lives of these beautiful animals in need of a warm loving home, medical treatment, food and love.

Need 200

I need 200 for hotel rooms between now and the 1st for my family and I.

I can pay back and if not required to do so will pay forward.

Lost housing due to disagreement with and disrespect by family member who was trying to control every aspect of life. Got to the point where the mutual decision by wife and myself was that it would be better for us if living in the streets than accepting the treatment of this family member who is obviously doing what they were doing in order to drive us out and not have any blame assigned by others since they can say that we were not abiding by rules of their home. Most are beyond shocked when they hear the truth but right now I am not worried about that.

Am worried about the next 2 days and where my family going to sleep at?

Rent funds and getting back on my feet

Hey guys so. I was in a car crash as the passenger on the September 23rd and it was actually pretty severe, I was already a disabled individual but this kind of made everything worse. I permanently lost vision in a single eye, I have constant short-term memory issues, I have migraines on and off, and brain fog.

I was in a job for brand marketing for helping children going into foster care but I actually had to quit today because of my health issues. Keep in mind I didn't even leave on bad terms and they completely understand. I tried persevering for a month but it just wasn't going well. I have to look for a new job and I really need to make up the rest of my rent which is about 2-300 by the first and help with food. Any help would be very very appreciated right now. This was a traumatic in life-changing experience.

Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for NEET Preparation*

Hi everyone,

I’m a NEET aspirant currently preparing for the 2025 exam, and I’m reaching out because I’m facing some urgent financial difficulties. My mother is the sole earner in our family and works as a care taker. She has always supported my dreams of becoming a doctor, but recently, she has been struggling with increased financial burdens. Unfortunately, her income isn’t enough to cover my hostel fees, study materials, and daily living expenses, which are essential for my preparation.

Right now, I urgently need around 10,000 INR to help cover my hostel fees and basic necessities, so I can continue focusing on my studies. I’m trying to avoid letting this setback interfere with my preparation. I would be incredibly grateful for any help, and I am more than willing to keep in touch with anyone willing to lend a hand or provide guidance.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. If anyone can help or knows of resources where I could find assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Warm regards,

P.s : i don't know how this online donation works this is my first time please suggest me 🙏,im very very very sorry ,I have no choice because the condition is worse And is affecting my studies

Hello everyone.

This Dog Needs our help!

I recently saw a post about a dog with an injured eye that's bulging out, and it really struck a chord with me. I wanted to share this here because I believe in the importance of helping animals in need. The owner is considering surgery to prevent further complications, and I hope that by spreading the word, we can rally support and resources to assist them. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated

I just wanted to help so that as many people as possible can support this dog. It’s not about me funding anything I simply want to raise awareness and encourage others to help. If anyone is interested, I can share the owner's account and details. Just send me a message!

Struggling College Student, need some help with small expenses

I have had to pay a lot more money than I really could afford to for some fees, books and medical expenses that I didn't previously anticipate and am running really low on funds from the summer because of it.

I'm requesting about $100 just to tide myself over for the next 2 weeks. I should be in a better position after that. I am Canadian, so if anyone else is and uses Interac that would be the best for me.

Need a bit to get me through the rest of the month

I'm broke after vet expenses and need a little bit to get through the next few days and avoid bank fees. Anything would help, even a few bucks would help, but around $25 should be enough to get by a few days.

Need help to get through October and keep my housing

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out because I’m facing a financial crisis, and I don’t have any other options for support. The first of the month is approaching, and I haven’t been able to cover my rent. I’ve been working hard, doing pet care gigs and trying to earn through online surveys and side jobs, but it's not enough to bridge the gap this month.

A few months ago, I was in an accident, and without a car, it’s been challenging to find consistent work. I’m also dealing with a disability and in the process of switching careers, as I can no longer work as a nurse. It’s been humbling, and I’m determined to make it through, but right now, I need a hand.

I’ve been fortunate to line up pet care gigs for November, so I should be back on my feet soon. But I’m worried about making it through October, as just a little bit could keep me from losing my home. Even the smallest amount could make a huge difference and help me through this rough patch.

I know many are struggling, and my heart goes out to all of you. I used to donate to others when I was able, and I look forward to being in that position again.

Encouragement or any tips on getting through a rough time would also mean a lot. I have a plan with my pet care business, and things are slowly coming together – I just need a bridge to get me there.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this, offer support, or share any advice. I genuinely appreciate it.

Financial help

I'm new to this app and can't find many communities that I can actually post in so wanted to try here.. I just had my son and I'm out of work for at least 6 weeks and cleared to go back I have two other kids as well (4,2 and the newborn) I get food stamps and wic somebody from another community was able to help with some food until our food stamps re load and that was a huge blessing but I'm still a little behind on rent and my utilities will also be shut off on the first. Ive never been in a position to have to ask for any type of help so please be kind I never planned to struggle like this and have always been more than able to take care of my children without any problems life has just been very rough lately. I've went to local churches and they don't have the means to help and my local trustees can help with the rent but only if my lot owner signed off that it's okay that he won't get his rent for a whole month because if the process it takes it can't be done overnight and my lot owner just wants his money and doesn't want to hear any of that which is okay and I definitely understand but it sucks. Again please just be kind I feel awful enough.

Looking for help with wishlist

New to Reddit so please bear with me. I recently left 10 year physical and mentally abusive marriage I don’t really have friends or family I didn’t have a job because I was isolated. But I finally got out. With local help I just moved out of the shelter to a small studio apartment and will start my new job next Friday. Another lady I met at the DV shelter suggested Reddit to me to help with some essential things to get me through until I get my first paycheck as I’ve exhausted all of my options locally. After looking at different subs here I chose to make an Amazon wishlist instead of asking for a monetary donation. The link will be below. Thank you!

Not looking for a “hand out” just help!!

I know this sub and other ones like this are full of bs request or scammers offering help. I’m not asking for a handout or free money but I do need help getting enough money ($175) for a doctors appointment to treat my anxiety depression and ptsd I lost my job at the end of August (I lost it due to my mental health problems that aren’t being treated) and it’s been a daily battle since. I’ve tried all different approaches to try and make money but nothing consistent or can provide more than a few dollars here and there. I usually can’t do referrals because my id is expired. So now I am constantly thinking of what I can do. Back in January of this year I started working on an online store but due to my work at the time I had to back burner it. Once I lost my job I started working on it again while its not completely finished I have picked a lot of inventory out and have been creating my website— which brings us to the point of this post. Like I’ve said I’m not looking for a handout just support and would love to share my products ( mainly all aspects of women’s fashion and some holiday home decor ) with anyone who may be interested. I’m also selling a digital camera (canon rebel t2i) it’s a stretch but I don’t know what else to do this is my Hail Mary. Thanks for reading!

I didn’t put any links to those items in this post because I didn’t want it to break any rules or be removed. If you’d be interested in taking a look at the stuff please dm me!

I’m also gonna include a gofundme I created for this appointment in case anyone would want to help that way.

I, disabled, and my boyfriend are trying to escape my abusive mother

TLDR ; Boyfriend and I are trying to save up some money to escape abuse from my mother. Financial abuse, threatens of violence, etc. I apologize for length of post, I am a bit frantic at the moment.

Anything is helpful really but if I had to give a price range, $1 or more. But again, anything is helpful to us at this moment. We have cash app, chime, and PayPal.

Okay so uh, hi! I almost feel embarrassed I'm doing this but here we are. For some context, my boyfriend and I are only 18. We just recently became legal adults. My boyfriend and I both suffered medical neglect from our biological fathers, as well as neglect overall in general. It being rather severe for me as I have a chronic bleeding disorder and PTSD. Both of us had been neglected on being taught proper life skills. Due to this, at some point, we reached out to my mother for help. My mother had abused me as a child, yet I believed foolishly that she'd changed. Because our relationship, while I was states away, had been going steady. We moved across the country with our dog and our rats. It was fun until a few days after arriving. My mother will get angry at me, and proceed to threaten to harm me physically. As she'd done when I was a kid. These are direct threats mind you. My boyfriend has had to stand between us because my mother would come at me with her hand or first raised. I wanted to report this to police, as now that I'm an adult, assaulting me would actually be taken seriously. But at the same time, it feels null. Even with security cameras in her house, which pick up every threat she's made at me. This is not the only factor of abuse, as she's trying to take financial control of us. I'm not allowed food stamps or my own medical insurance because I live with my mother. She ofc will not add me to any of her things. However, my boyfriend has food stamps. And is expected to use almost all of his 200 on the entire household for food. Not only this, but I myself qualify for SSI due to my PTSD. However, my mother really just wants to take advantage of the system, and use this to her advantage. While I want SSI solely because I cannot work and ik I qualify. She even tries to make me play up my own mental health disorders. Telling me I have to 'freak out' like I do during episodes at my SSI appointments. Which, I can't even find words for. PTSD episodes don't even work that way. Another thing, as mentioned, is our life skills. Because we weren't taught them, my mother was originally supposed to help us with this. At most, we know how to cook, take care of animals, clean, etc. I cannot drive due to my eye sight, but my boyfriend can. He's been practicing, both with practice permit tests AND driving around our twisty driveway. However, my mom rarely has time to actually be able to take him to his permit test. She is aware of this, as she knows her job is demanding. She even said she'd help us with better GED college courses, as we had to leave the GED classes we were taking when we moved. This has never happened and the links were never sent to us despite asking many times. We weren't even given enough information to look for it ourselves. Another important factor was jobs. I was going to help people out, since I cannot fully work, and my boyfriend was going to look for a job. We were told we'd have time to search... Expect as soon as we got here, she immediately wanted rent. Despite telling us she'd give us time to adjust and look for jobs beforehand. Rent is reasonable, however the lying Isn't. Now, my boyfriend is donating plasma, and giving half of that money to my mother for rent. Saving the rest to use for our animals. He hasn't been able to donate recently, and after tonight, we aren't even allowed access to the car anymore. Both my bf and I have also dog sat to try for extra money, mainly just to pay her. I also will mention, I use marijuana medically, it is legal here. However, my mother likes to take it and withhold our weed for her own personal gain from us. We are literally her house maids. This makes things extremely difficult. As I use marijuana to medicate both my mental illnesses and the physical pain I experience. This makes it hard on days she won't allow us access to it. As I'll typically end up with physical pain throughout my day. I've also learned she has no understanding of tolerance, and will often barely give me enough to actually affect me and manage my pain.

I also want to mention. There is a camper outside. I am currently in it. Why? Because she called a 'family meeting.' She said we couldn't speak, despite being adults, unless spoken to directly. When she addressed me, insulting me and calling me selfish, I blankly and calmly told her that she's the one being selfish as well. That truely, all humans are, it's apart of our nature. Someone does something selfish daily in their lives. I guess she didn't like my tone? My flat affect? I'm unsure. But whatever it was, she fucking kicked me out and told me to sleep in the camper. This camper has no power. The only power is from the extension cord leeching off the house. Which is really only enough for our phone chargers and a small heater. This is Arizona. In the mountains. There Is open desert behind us. At night, it gets cold, and the heater barely does anything to help it. And during the day, temperatures can reach high. The heater only has one fan setting. Which is only really enough to create airflow.

I'm honestly not even sure what else context to give. My mind is still processing my situation and how hurt I feel to know my own mother promised so much, only to in reality, use me and my bf, and treat us like garbage.

Yeah uh, that's the post. I'm honestly bad at these things. I never thought or could believe I'd be posting online for money. But here we are. I will let you know, our dog is with us and safe. Our rats r in their cage inside, as my mom won't really bother them anyways.

I can't find help and don't want to post too much, so this will be my last attempt

My family is going through a crisis after a tornado devastated our home and then we were wronged by people feigning good intentions, I have no help and no support and am $40 away from drowning. Please read my post history or GoFundMe link and if you feel like making a difference - every dollar counts. I'm stuck without gas to even limp around in my busted vehicle hit by a tree to make money, so even $5 could make all the difference.

The cashapp I have access to and a card is $Dreamingstill38

Need help with food

Hey, I'm currently in the grips of an (recently diagnosed) arthritis flare-up in both knees that is preventing me from leaving my home or working, and I'm pretty much out of food and money at the moment. If anyone would be kind enough to grab me something from my grocery shopping list, i'd greatly appreciate it. I'm also going to put my paypal in the comments if anyone would prefer to help that way, but I also understand why people are leery about sending money over food. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/5CGVE95KWN2R?ref_=wl_share

Spiraling fast and need funds for gas so that we don't lose our job and only income

Things have only gotten worse and I still have not found support for my family, but it will really ruin our chances of coming out of this hole if we can't make it to our job and get fired. $50 would get us by at least a couple days

Needing some help

Hello. I'm struggling and need help. I've tried everywhere possible in my state and can't find any assistance. I'm currently in the process of reapplying for SSDI disability, I have no income whatsoever, unable to pay my bills and at risk of homelessness. My car was stolen in November 2023 by someone I was trying to help. I had a rental car until Feb. 2024 and I've been without a car since then. I cannot use public transportation due to mental health reasons. I desperately need a safe, used car to get to doctor appointments and other places I need to go. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated and I would love to help others when I get back on my feet. Thank you!

Trial Retainer for Single Mom

Hi, I've been on here a lot recently. All of you have been so helpful and encouraging. I am currently pro-se and trial is only a couple of days away. I have seen the evidence (so much false information) and am terrified. The GAL is on my side and grants me all decision making, but dad has unlimited means and she stated Friday that without an attorney they will get what they want because the rules of court apply to both parties. I am unrepresented. I have so much evidence to prove dad should not be doing a single thing, and also, I have done every single thing (doc appts, therapies, etc.) for our child outside of dad's short visitations. I have lost two jobs already due to dad's interference.

I am so overwhelmed with the idea of presenting information that is factual and the judge shutting me down (they have before). I've asked for fees to be proportionate, l've asked for dad to stop being late so I don't lose my job, I asked for help with appointments so l don't lose my job, l've asked for an appropriate amount of child support, etc., and I get interrupted constantly by his counsel or the judge saying we're here for this or that not your concerns. I've filed motions, petitions, etc., (the right way, utilizing legal advocates, clerks, even lawyers that chimed in seeing my desperate attempts) spent actual days at the court house missing work, paying for childcare just to be shut down. I already have requested change of venue and change of judge and was denied. I sent an email to the chief judges department and again, nothing. This is the only thing left I can do, obviously desperate.

Please help us.

Please help me with my motel bill?

I'm 23, I've been homeless for almost a year again now and I finally put on a housing waiting list, I just need to keep riding out the struggle until they place me in a home. My goal for today is $95 if anyone can support that even a little bit it's better then being stuck in the heat today. I'm on my own and just need some help so I really appreciate any support towards my homeless situation.
