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.

Hey everyone,
I could really use some help with food right now. I’m in a tough spot after being left homeless in Illinois due to a hit-and-run accident. I'm managing to get by with some other necessities, but food is the big issue for me at the moment.
I've been living out of my car at a truck rest stop, and with the weather starting to get colder in Illinois, it's getting harder. I’ve been trying my best to find a job, but my injury keeps getting brought up as a reason not to hire me, which is frustrating.
I have a small cooler and a rice cooker, but it’s starting to rust and I’m worried I won’t be able to use it for much longer. I did manage to get a couple of shirts, pants, and some shoes from the fire department, so I'm grateful for that.
I've hit up a few micro pantries, but I haven’t been lucky in weeks, I’m planning to check out some local churches for assistance, but they keep asking for proof of bills and residency, which is tough for me to provide.
Honestly, I’d be beyond grateful for anything—just some peanut butter and bread or even hot food would make a world of difference right now. If anyone can help out, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. 🥲

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
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!

Hello everyone. I’m needing help with dinner tonight. My situation is quite intense at the moment where I am fleeing an unsafe situation I won’t go into details so I don’t trigger anyone. Just hungry havent eaten for a bit.
Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated!
Can anyone maybe help me with pizza or anything for dinner this evening? I don’t have a car so it would have to be some kind of delivery if possible? Thanks
I'm going through a rough time and am currently staying at a family member's house, while they are out of town, with my kids. This town is pretty small and just has a mcdonalds, hardees, and papa johns. Hoping someone can help out with either a mobile order for pickup at either mcdonalds or papa johns for me, my 6 year old, 3 year old, and 1 year old. Would keep it under $25. Please let me know if anyone can help
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.
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.

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
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.

I'm not trying to be negative, so please don't be either. Already hanging on by a thread.

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

I've been broke for a while now, and I'm a little short for picking up groceries tomorrow. I just need $10-15 to make sure I can get cat food, dish soap, and enough food for the week. If anyone can spare it on Cashapp I would be extremely grateful, I have a Cashapp card so that would be easiest. Thank you to anyone who considers it.
Hi, My name is Luis.
I would like to express through this community a situation I am going through at this moment. and ask for your help in this situation, which is making me feel worse each day.
On September 29, my car stopped working completely. The "Ignition Coils" burned out, and an internal box was damaged, which caused the vehicle's computer to show a "misfirecylinder" error. This failure has left me unable to work because I depend on my car to get to work, and I am desperate.
I have tried asking for help from close friends and family outside of NC, but unfortunately, they are unable to support me at this time. I have no other options left. Every moment that passes without being able to repair my vehicle brings me closer to a desperate situation. I am seeking all possible help to get out of this situation. At this moment, I am about to have nothing to eat, and honestly, it puts me in a desperate situation. I feel so alone and truly wish for some relief from this situation.
The feeling of not knowing what to do is overwhelming.
The mechanic I went to told me that the repair costs $612, an amount that I currently have no way to cover. I have exhausted all my resources, and that's why I’m turning to this community, hoping that someone can lend me a hand. Any help, no matter how small, will help me repair my car and get back to work to move forward.
Please, if you can help me, here is the link to my GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/8098fa5a. It’s my first time doing this; please, I don’t have anyone here in Charlotte, thank you so much in advance for reading this, and I know it's not easy to ask for something like this, so I apologize if my request seems uncomfortable. Any support you can offer means more than words can express.
Hurricane Helene knocked out my power and it’s been out for a few days now. Had to throw out all the food. A lot of places around me do not have power. If you could check out this wishlist. It’s mostly food and pet food. Thank you. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/383IX8FKZKXM1?ref_=wl_share
Is there anyway someone could send me a dinner? I’m not within walking distance of anything so it would have to be delivery if possible. I’ve posted a couple of places with no luck. I’ve fallen on hard times these last few weeks and I just need something to tide me over til tomorrow. It would be greatly appreciated Thanks
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
To go with my early posts in other sub reddits (you can look at my previous comments) I currently need about something writing twenty to thirty dollars to get some food. Because of my situation.
Here's my PayPal:
Hello my frifriend is doing this project and I was seeing if anyone would want to help her out. https://www.donorschoose.org/project/essentials-for -reading-and-writing-in-el/8490573/?rf=email-system -2024-09-proposal_eligible_for_auto_donation_match -teacher_9131955&challengeid=22166689&utm_swu= 4252&utm_source=dc&utm_medium=page&utm _campaign=project&utm_term=teacher_9131955
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!
i don't get paid until next week and my bills took my entire check the moment i got it last pay period. i've been living in poverty for a while and typically cannot afford groceries. i need to apply for snap but i'm just too depressed to go to the offices and i need to do it in person because i don't understand the online forum. if anyone could doordash me pizza or something to hold me over tonight i'd appreciate that

Before people say I’m scamming , yes I posted this on another subreddit yesterday but haven’t gotten any responses or upvotes so here I go again..
I’m gonna make this as quick as I can I’m a young and dumb 19 year old who didn’t know you have to renew ebt every 6 months (I know I know I must not have read the fine lines). But I reapplied immediately and will most likely have to wait a week before I can get anything.
I did really good with saving but am still learning to have money on the card left over for moments like these. I have $1.48 on my card and literally need to get basics like noodles, drinks, and anything I can make quick. I’m basically homeless and am constantly moving between homes. This might be the straw on my back, I just feel really dumb. I haven’t ate anything all day and I can’t even get a ride to the food pantry 🙂↕️
Literally anything will help, DoorDash, cashapp, chime, Uber, Walmart. Buy the food and don’t send money , I don’t even care. I just started this medicine and it made my appetite pick up again so even tips and tricks WILL HELP
Edit. I’ve posted on here months ago but got negative responses, I don’t know if I should leave my cashapp or not but just message me and let me know if you are able to help
I know this is a weird request but im trying to get some free stuff from temu to help me with my job interviews (to look better) and I need 1 or 2 new users to get the free stuff. you would honeslty help me so much and make my entire week. thank you for reading ❤️ I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link so if your willing to help let me know and I'll msg you a link. thanks again you don't understand how much this would mean to me.
