Work shoes

Hey all, I start a new restaurant job on Tuesday and my friends dog recently ruined my Danskos. They’re on sale and I thought I could get away with a payment plan but my credit card is maxed out. I usually wear the “Walker” style they have for men for my wide feet and they last years. If anyone could help me I would be endlessly grateful.

Building wants $710 by tomorrow

The building wants $710 by tomorrow but their app won't let me pay online anymore. I don't understand how they expect to get anything even if I got help. I need someone who would be willing to call and arrange payment. I know it's way too much to ask of anyone. I don't know what else to do. That's only the start - then they want $4,510 by December 18th. I've been trying to get assistance. They weren't giving me notices and because it's a services based low income building I thought they had arranged to cover it since they know I have been surviving isolated and under duress for four years. Now it feels like they might have just been trying to evict me instead. I'm terrified.

I also need $24 for the rest of my internet bill - it was $45. A much smaller request. I could provide direct login information for that.

I am desperate and just hoping someone out there might be able to help me stay housed. It's like they're threatening to steal my stuff and push me off a bridge - maybe I would live but I am really afraid eviction will kill me. Afraid they would even send a corrupt cop to do it. I have been harassed daily and it would leave me even more vulnerable to whoever has been attacking my street and building inside and out for the past four years.

I am supposed to turn 35 on Dec 25th. I shouldn't be dying anytime soon. Everything since 2020 has been torture.

Thank you for listening.

Just $5 for gas.

Edit: I was unable to to come up with any more funds so they had to choose someone else. Thank you anyways every one. :(

Hey!

So, good news is I got a gig house/dog sitting for my friend's parents which will cover my rent! 🥳🥳

Down side is I just have to figure out how to get the gas to head up there, and I need to leave at 8am tomorrow morning.

They will pay me after they get back, as apparently they had real issues with people not actually house/dog sitting. So getting gas to get back isn't an issue, it's just getting gas to get up there.

I am currently waiting for my new job to start, but won't have a paycheck for a few more weeks.

I have also reached out to a couple friends but I'm worried I won't hear back from them in time, and the few I have managed to contact aren't in a good position to be giving/loaning out money.

I have $10 to my name, they live about 3 hours from me.

Honestly, just $5 would be a huge help and blessing.

My tank isn't completely empty but closer to E than what's comfortable and less than what will allow me to make it there.

I have Venmo and PayPal, both at LilaElizabeth91

Will update if I manage to borrow from a friend. ☺️

Or if there's any legitimate sign ups I can do real quick (paid by the app, not by another person, was dumb enough to waste my time that way before 😅) please let me know!

Thank you all. I look forward to paying it back to the community once life evens out a bit. 🫶

I need some help with rescue dogs in Brasil

My name is Nouah and I'm an animal rescue in Brasil, I'm asking for your help because most of you receive in dollar which is 5x more than the current of my country. What it means that I can ask for donations here and it would be cheaper once 1 dollar it's 5 reais.

In case you want some prove, this is our social medias Instagram.com/caesdaestacao Tiktok.com/caesdaestacao

But as you can see, we're not an NOG but volunteers, so some dogs cannot be rescue from the streets. Once we don't have a place, we have to pay for temporary places and it's expensive, so we need donations. To you it's $1 to us it's 5 reais. It's a lot!

Right now, we need help to a dog called Theo, I made an Amazon wishlist because I need feed and I need donations to make his blood texts to know if he has tick disease or diabetes and buy the antibiotics.

I will let the links below, may you just help us, please?

[request] Need at least $40 for groceries and transportation to last until payday

Hi, forced to make a post here cuz I really need some help and r/assistance deleted my post as I'm inactive so I'm gonna try being more active until I can post again but until then, I have to find another way. I'm currently working but my hours keep getting cut short and shorter that I'm forced to find another job. I am unable to even financially support myself as I have been having a rough month and forced to use my savings for medical bills (Surgery and treatment). It doesn't help that I lost my usual mode of transport to go to work so now I have to rely on car ride apps and if I'm lucky, my friend can help me get to work. I have a job interview this upcoming weekend but I can't afford to go there as I don't have money for transportation and I won't get my salary until 3/12. I'm hoping for a kind donation of $40 just so that I can make it until then to survive. Wouldn't be doing this unless I'm really desperate. Thank you for reading.

[req] anything helps

i never thought i’d be in a position to ask strangers for help , but here i am. a few months ago, my life completely fell apart. i got kicked out of where i was living and had to move 2 hours south with nothing—no savings, no safety net, not even a plan. it was sudden and devastating, and i’ve been struggling ever since to piece my life back together.

my girlfriend and i are starting over from scratch. we’re trying to make it work, but it feels like every day brings a new challenge we aren’t ready for. i’m doing everything i can—calling places, looking for work, and hustling to keep us afloat—but i’m down to $30 for the rest of the month. i don’t even have food in the fridge, and the little i have left needs to stretch just to keep the basics going.

my phone bill arrangement with t-mobile is due this tuesday, and if i can’t pay it, i’ll lose service. my phone is my lifeline right now—it’s how i apply for jobs, line up gigs/sell whatever i have, and stay in touch with resources that could help us. losing it would cut off the one tool i have to keep us moving forward.

i’m not asking for much. i just need $150-200 to get through this and keep my phone on. if anyone could help me cover this, even just a little, it would mean the world to me. i’m determined to turn things around, and i promise to pay it forward once i’m back on my feet.

you can cashapp $voidsome, or DM me if you want to connect another way. even some relevant advice would mean a lot. i’m just trying to hang on right now.

thank you for reading this, and thank you for caring. it’s people like you who remind me that there’s still hope, even when things feel impossible.

[Request] totally fucked

  1. I've been isolated inside since COVID shut downs, and my body has deteriorated the last four years. I can't work like I used to, and I have extremely limited options. I've also been harassed while isolated, which has made it incredibly difficult to function.

  2. This is the second time in a month the current management company has given me notices about eviction. I already had to sign an agreement under duress. They inspected my apartment and changed the lock, and explicity told me I was fine. The next day, they sent me a notice saying I owe $4,000 in rent and are setting me up for eviction a second time. This is low income housing with services to keep people from homelessness. I thought they had arranged something to keep me housed since I wasn't receiving notices about rent - they've helped me get assistance before under different management company. The owner company - which has been the same since 2015 - isn't responding to me at all. I have said multiple times I have nowhere to go, have sent them all the medical records I have, and they know it could kill me to be thrown outside. It feels like they just want to get rid of me and steal my stuff and my apartment.

I have applied for the new HRSN program that pays even back rent, but I don't know if it will work out in time.

I also need supplies and to keep my internet on, or I won't be able to communicate with the outside world. I think I've become clinically agoraphobic and I can't leave my apartment. It started with being harassed. I have been staying inside for good reason. Besides medical concerns, my neighbor followed me out of my unit and blocked my way back upstairs in January. Lots of yelling. I don't even know them. I don't feel safe trying to get my mail. There are always people around the building doing harassing things even if it's gotten quiet inside for the last week or so.

They said they'd help me take out my trash, which has to be done in a certain amount of time, but just emailed me about the money instead of doing anything to help me. I want to take the trash out but I have a major trauma block about leaving the apartment.

I don't know what to do.

Would people be willing to connect directly to the rent portal where I would pay rent? Can anyone help me in the first place?

Help me in my fight towards health

Hello everyone, My name is Lou-Ann and I am a 21 years old woman ! The healthcare situation in my country has radically worsened and my only hope of getting healthier is through private hospitals and clinics who are really expensive... I never had a really good health to begin with, but last year things dramatically took a turn for the worse.

Nowadays, I can hardly walk and I am bedridden most of the times, in that situation, it is impossible for me to help my parents financially, my parents who do everything in their power so I can get better, even as we are financially struggling. As I am typing this we are still in active search for a diagnosis and support. If you willing to help me in my fight for a better health I would be really grateful to you, thanks a lot !

[Request] help with cleaning supplies to avoid eviction

Hi all: I've been isolated inside for four years being harassed to the point I've been scared to leave my apartment. The building was pretty much abandoned and now management wants to get into my unit. They were going to evict me but are signing an agreement instead.

I think I'm getting screwed but I would rather avoid the trial and potential of getting evicted. I haven't been able to work and need cleaning supplies: mostly trash bags, paper towels, sanitizer and laundry soap.

I think I set up the list so you can send me things even if they're not on it so if you know better/cheaper products I don't mind.

Just please let me know if you sent anything so I can look out for it. Stuff has gotten stolen before. If that happens I can let you know so you can get a refund.

Thank you for anything you can do. You're saving my life.

Leaving Court

I’m leaving DV court. Today I feel vindicated but sad, hurt, and disappointed. But, I can finally say that it’s over. It’s been a very hard year to say the least. But, he will be gone for a while and I’m ok with that! My ride is stuck at work and honestly I’m hoping someone can help me get home with either a Lyft ride (14.00) or a bus ride and transfer (10.00). I just wanna go home and get in the bed and start a new tomorrow! I hope y’all have a good weekend

REQUEST dinner for family (fixed after given advice)

I posted a couple nights ago about help with dinner for my kids and I since we are currently displaced and staying at a family member's home in a very small town, and was given some advice by someone on here that its easier to make an amazon wishlist than to ask for a fast food/grocery pickup order due to cost and overall helpfulness. I took the time today to put a few cheaper grocery things that i could use to make dinner for my 3 kids so we have more options than noodles every day. I also looked into some very simple recipes online that only take a couple ingredients per dish and should last with leftovers to stretch it further (mushroom chicken soup into mushroom noodle dish, chicken salad with crackers into sandwiches, etc). Hoping some things could be gifted to help out with the situation we're in right now, it would be very appreciated!

Canadian, no longer homeless, need help with a meal.

Hi folks. I just got out of homelessness two weeks ago. I have no furniture yet but after a lot of trauma and two months in a shelter, just having my own space feels like such an accomplishment. I’ve been working really hard and am so proud of myself for doing it, but it feels like I hit a wall today. I know it’s just temporary, I work hard, but feels bad, man. I’ve been struggling with the energy to feed myself and was wondering if anyone could help me grab a pizza or takeout?

Thank you.

Edit: can’t delete, but no longer in need, pulled some work together and am in better shape.

Classroom Supplies

I’m taking over a high school science classroom as a long term sub starting next week until the end of the semester. This class hasn’t had a permanent teacher all year, and had another long term sub before me. The classroom is totally bare with no supplies beyond a jar of pencils. I’ve set up a wishlist to get some items for the classroom to liven it up a little bit, and have also been printing and laminating some posters and such.

Can you help my girl scout raise some funds for her troop by starting your Christmas shopping a little early?

We don't know a lot of people so it's hard for us to raise any money during these fundraisers they have and we are nearing the end and haven't sold anything. The troop is new and have only been together for almost a year so we don't have a lot of funds raised yet for the activities they can do. Anything you buy will go to a great cause and will be greatly appreciated! https://www.gsnutsandmags.com/landing/14/3af355e6-d694-46c2-96fe-c6031aa48e30/en-US/False

Dad of strays at 25

Hi, I’m Q, 25 and currently working as customer service for Amazon. To give you a short background on what I do, I look after stray cats (and some dogs too) in our neighborhood. Or at least I cover a couple of streets surrounding my house. I do have 2 house cats of my own. But it’s really mainly stray cats since the city already has a program for stray dogs. Part of what I do is make sure that these strays get fed, get medical attention (fixed, spayed, very important). I’ve been doing this for almost 2 years now alone, using part of my salary to take care of those in need. This is the first time I fell short of my own funds, and I am in dire need of help to cover food and medical fees. These strays eventually do get adopted, mostly by people I know. But while they’re in the streets, I want to make sure that they are well taken care of.

I have paypal only at the moment, I opened a paypal account only for this matter. I am really close to being desperate. Thank you for making it this far. Reading already means you care, and maybe that’s enough.

Need help taking care of some stray cats.

Hi guys. I am not normally one to ask for help because I believe there are more deserving people out there than me, but this is not about me. Here’s the situation:

I had an elderly neighbor who had several indoor cats. She passed away a few months back, and her family kicked the cats out of the house to sell the house. The cats ended up venturing over to our place because we were already feeding a couple of strays, so now two strays turned into nine strays. We’ve tried our best to keep up with them, but it’s getting financially difficult, especially since we have three indoor cats and four indoor dogs of our own to take care of. We’re currently in the process of saving money to take these strays in and get them spayed/neutered and their shots, but we’re struggling to keep up with food – especially since one cat is an older cat who has dental issues and can’t eat kibble. I gave her some of my indoor cat’s Fancy Feast, which she was able to eat well, but Fancy Feast is so expensive. So I tried feeding her Friskies instead, but it gave her diarrhea. So honestly, I’m really just asking for Fancy Feast to keep her fed and healthy.

Now, here’s a little more about what we’re currently doing for the strays and why there are additional items on the list. For starters, we have two sheds that we leave the doors open far enough that the cats can get inside. We put straw in the sheds to keep them warm. We also have a 3 seasons room connected to our house that we let them in so they can relax on the furniture in there (our other animals do not have access to this room). The 3 seasons room does not get heat, though, so I’m looking for ways to make sure they stay warm when it starts getting colder.

So, I’ve added a few extra items on the list which I do not expect anyone to buy, but I would really appreciate any help in getting some Fancy Feast for the outdoor cats, especially the senior cat. We’re good on Kibble for now because it’s cheap enough and goes a long way, but the senior kitty struggles eating it. Any help is appreciated!

Including some photos of four of the strays cuddled up in our 3 seasons room! And a picture of one of the kittens who came from the neighbor’s home who is pretty wild/timid but I’m working on trying to calm him down.

https://imgur.com/a/al6LvEk

Any help would truly be appreciated. Again, the Fancy Feast is the highest priority so I can keep the senior kitty fed. <3

Here's the wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1IRNV8ZDAKMDV/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2

Support Scouting

My son is six and working on his Tiger badge. He's been doing well at fundraising but is shy about $250 from his goal. If he hits the goal, he gets to go to his 1st professional hockey game with others from the pack.

He is also looking forward to his 1st camping trip next month. And I think later on next year, he will get to stay in a submarine!!

He would appreciate any support others may be able to provide. Thank you kindly for your consideration. I've included a link to his Trail's End fundraiaing page. https://www.trails-end.com/store/scout/TPMMN47G?share=MZZVH2JX

Unable to buy schoolbooks currently

Hi! So I'm a student in The Netherlands (22f) studying Journalism. I'm unable to buy my schoolbooks (costs €350) I already tried to get the books online from a library but the licenses are not available due to being rented by other students already and reserved for months too. I don't have any family support as I live alone in The Netherlands (my family lives in a 3rd world country and I escaped them due to being abused). Currently I took pictures of one of my classmates book for Economics and have been slowly trying to write all the pages down in a notebook but I realise this is not a good option for me as it's really time consuming and I barely have any time to transcribe it next to school I also have a parttime job to support living on my own. I do HBO (higher level studies) and the fees are 350 for me a month. My living fees are now 1300 a month total (insurance, rent, water, heat, electricity, phone bill and food). I also looked at Marketplace but they don't have the books there either for cheap. I feel miserable that I have a set back compared to other students who live at home and got supportive parents. I try not to let it get to me and simply do my best to work and get more hours. I work 12 hrs a week and my boss isn't able to give me more hours so in total I get 48hrs a month and I earn €13.83 per hour. I got a job interview at a casino so I will hopefully be getting a second job now so I hope to be able to buy my school books at the end of October.

I would appreciate any advice/tips from anyone! I have PayPal also and dutch banking/tikkie!
