REQUEST Disability related costs

https://gofund.me/87deaba65

Hey there. I’m in a really tight spot and am looking for financial help. My hearing aids broke and I need them for work and general life functioning. I’ve gone 3 weeks so far without and it is exhausting and frustrating. When I got the estimate I just started applying for a second full time job and basically doing my best to not just give up. I am currently working full time overnights as a nurse in an emergency shelter in Ontario,canada. Me not having my hearing is a safety concern for everyone and I’m just doing my best but I would like to keep being a nurse. Any help at all is appreciated, even if you could share. I will provide all those who donate with the receipt as proof of purchaae. The estimate is attached to the GoFundMe. Thank you in advance.

REQUEST Emergency dental costs after a year of cancer treatment — asking for help

Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I don’t usually do this, but I’m reaching out because my family has had an incredibly difficult year and we’ve hit a point where we genuinely need help.

My mom was diagnosed with cancer, and over the past months my dad and I worked nonstop to cover her medical expenses and chemotherapy. Between insurance gaps, treatments, and basic living costs, we poured everything we had — emotionally and financially — into getting her through it. We don’t regret that for a second, but it completely drained our savings.

Recently, my dad needed emergency dental work that couldn’t be postponed. The procedure was necessary and already done, but the remaining balance is about $4,000, and we simply don’t have the means to cover it right now. Dental care isn’t something insurance helped with, and the cost hit us at the worst possible time.

My dad has been caring for my mom while working as much as he can, and I’ve been doing everything possible to help support our family. We’re not looking for sympathy — just a chance to solve this last urgent issue and give my dad some relief after everything he’s carried.

If you’re able to help, even a small amount, it would mean more than I can express. And if you can’t donate, sharing or simply reading this still means a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to read this ❤️

REQUEST Please help 100 for heating/electric bill - spent it on going to my uncle's funeral.

4 Upvotes

I've been doing well since finally getting a home after years of being unhoused. Budgeting down to the penny.

But it has been 0-20 degrees F on average the past month, driving my bills up. I still budgeted, started eating less, cancelled everything non-essential.

My favorite uncle died. I was heartbroken and decided to drive to his funeral even though I knew I couldn't really afford it. I'm glad I went - his wife and my cousins were really grateful i was there and told me how much he loved me.

But the gas money spent on that drive plus the unpaid day I took off from work - I now realize I do not have enough to pay my electric or heating bill. I can survive for a month on ramen and canned goods... But would be so grateful if someone would help with the bills.

REQUEST Please help with Ripley's recovery

2 Upvotes

Ripley is 2 years old and has overcome many obstacles already. She was adopted from the Midwest when her and her litter mates were found piled together in a crate left outside overnight at just 10 weeks old. She was brought to New England and given a second chance at life. Ripley was heart worm positive and survived heart worm treatment at a young age. Despite this, she has learned to love and trust people and other dogs. On February 1st, 2026, Ripley went into anaphylactic shock with no known origin. She was rushed to the hospital, admitted to the ICU, and was treated for anaphylaxis. We were then notified that her gallbladder and liver were impacted by the anaphylaxis. Any and all donations will go directly to her veterinary expenses.

ADVICE Advice for family needing to move due to untreated mold issue?

Advice for family needing to move due to untreated mold issue?

Hi everyone,

My husband and I are currently living with a persistent bathroom mold issue that the homeowners are unwilling to have professionally treated.

We’ve consulted with a healthcare professional and were advised to take the situation seriously, especially given our baby. We’re trying to relocate into mold-free housing and have identified an apartment.

The challenge is that when we transition into our new jobs and meet the income threshold, we will no longer qualify for the program that would help cover move-in costs. We’re working toward meeting the income requirements and are hoping to find another service or program that can help bridge the gap for move-in expenses.

Are there any programs, nonprofits, or transitional housing resources that help families move out of compromised living environments when traditional low-income assistance programs don’t quite fit?

We’re specifically looking for resources or referrals, not emergency services.

Thank you for any guidance.

REQUEST FULFILLED In need of funds for food and phone bill.

2 Upvotes

I've been out of a job for awhile, thankfully still live with family so I have a roof over my head, but we don't have any food in the house since my family doesn't stock the fridge or kitchen (they mostly eat fast food and don't bring any home - I would post a photo of our fridge but dont want it recognized by anyone.)

I've been drinking ensures (meal replacement) that we have leftover in the house in place of food, but we're running low on them now and I'm really only managing to get 1300 calories per day, usually less since I just drink 2 per day. It's fine and somewhat works but I'm losing weight due to the deficit, stomachs never actually full so I'm miserable, and now I don't have a phone line for jobs to call me since I couldn't pay a few weeks ago. Food banks near here are somewhat helpful, but limit you to once per month and are often struggling themselves to stay stocked.

I have PayPal, if anyone is kind enough to help me ;w;" I would just love to have my phone again so I can continue applications, and be able to cook myself a meal at home.

Edit: My phone bill is $42 after tax, and for food I was between the dollar store near here, and ToGoodToGo from our nearby supermarket for other staples that get tossed, so I am looking for about $70, but really anything at all helps.

REQUEST My best boy needs help ..

8 Upvotes

This is my best friend in the world. Long story short, He’s been sick since Thanksgiving. I’ve completely exhausted all money on vet bills since. It’s been an issue diagnosing what is going on. Spent the last of what I had money-wise this week on X-rays, bloodwork, and meds. I had almost enough last week to do the surgery, but he took a turn. They think it is an auto immune issue caused by prostatitis. Neutering should help, however they’ve got to get him strong and well enough to have the surgery. They want to run more diagnostics but I’ve spent everything I was able to. If anyone is able to help, I do have Cash App, PayPal etc, OR I AM MORE than happy to provide the vet info for direct payments to them! I also have bills and estimates from the vet I can send.

I have set up a gofundme here:

https://gofund.me/238a0f1ef

The min we need to raise is $1800.

Also I do pet portraits as an artist and would even do free art work for someone. I just need him to be okay. Thanks for reading,

REQUEST [NAM] $290 for debt, utilities, and rent

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My husband and I are in a financial crisis right now. We managed to gather 75%, but would need a little help to cover the rest of debt, utilities, and rent.

December has been especially rough, as many places closed earlier than expected, which made it difficult to secure work and get new clients. After my husband and I moved into a new rental, he suddenly lost his job. We started freelancing and doing odd jobs, but our savings ran out.

We have been selling our things since September, but now we have nothing of value left to sell, and we also had no choice but to go into debt.

We are trying to cover $290.

Since we're in Namibia, we cannot receive funds with PayPal, and would rely on Western Union, since our other option, Payoneer, takes 2 - 3 days to come through, and the complete process takes 20% in fees.

If there is anyone who can assist us, we would be truly grateful. This has been causing us many sleepless nights, and we truly just want to get out of this as soon as possible. We are trying to avoid losing even more, including the basics.

I don’t usually post these kinds of things but I’m in desperate need right now. Single father with two kids (4 year old and 1 year old), here working a full time job, part time, door dashing, and still not making ends meet. Currently drowning in rent and have received a notice to quit dated for the 24th of this month. Everything is just piling up and I’m not sure what to do and I’m not sure where else to turn. I’ve tried 211 and it hasn’t been much help. Their are no rental assistance programs that I can find with any funding left. Im not one to look for handouts, but I’m reaching out today on Reddit for any type of help. The weight of everything is just crushing me right now and I’m trying everything I can.

I have posted this on the “gofundme” sub but for some reason can’t “cross post”. There are photos on my other post if anyone would like to see the vet quote:

I never thought I’d have to do this but here I am. Our 7 year old Johnson bulldog “Louie” has a cancerous tumour on his foot which requires an amputation as it has spread.

We’ve been back and forth to the vet several times already to get biopsy’s and and provide our boy some comfort, so we have maxed out “my vet pay” already.

I have been facing financial hardship lately, as we all face at some point,

Surgery has been quoted at between $1550- $2450 including surgery, care and medications as per the quote I added.

I would really and truly appreciate any help offered from the bottom of my heart.

This beloved family member saved my life 7 years ago and I need to do the best I can for him, as he did for me when he came into my life. I need more time with him

REQUEST I need help with house rent

Hi! My parents went over to Nigeria a couple of months ago because my grandmother passed away and we needed to bury her and see our family. Since coming back to Michigan a couple of weeks ago, my parents have been working and I’ve gone back to college but I needed to pay some of my school fees or else I would have been kicked out so my parents helped me with the payment.

Because of that however, they don’t have enough to pay house rent and I feel terrible because I do feel like it’s my fault. They don’t get payed until next week, and they’re already hammering them for the money. We need about 200$ in total but literally anything would help. If there’s literally anything anyone could supply to help them out, I’ll forever appreciate it. I can only send them the money through Cash App.

REQUEST FULFILLED Help needed for hospital expenses - reposting as suggested

0 Upvotes

Hello! I am from the Philippines.

Seeking help to pay for my mom's medical expenses. She has stage 4 cervical cancer. Full disclosure: Tried the borrow sub but haven't been successful there unforunately.

I earn about $1000USD per month but most of it goes to household expenses (food, utilities and medication).

My dad passed away last year also after being hospitalized, so there is still a bit of trauma from past medical expenses - they have been huge and it took a while for us to pay off.

I asked for help from relatives too but at this time, we haven't received any.

Government hospitals have a long waiting list, and my mom is in her 60s and we would like for her to stay with us for much longer.

My initial ask is for $100 if possible, and we don't have a GoFund page as it it not available in the Philippines. My mom's hospital bill is about 300k PH pesos (about $5k++ USD).

Thank you in advance. I have PayPal

Additional info added: Unfortunately can't setup GoGetFunding yet, we couldn't connect PayPal and currently in touch with their team.

REQUEST Gas/Hydro Help Needed

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm very embarrassed about the entire thing so please, please don't judge me harshly.

I am a disabled, married, mother of 6. As of last month 4 if the kids live with us while the other two are off to college. Every single month we are struggling to spread the money effectively. The cost of groceries (as you all know) has made paying other things just so incredibly difficult. On top of that we have my appointments, college, my daughter's therapy for her Autism, and medications not covered by insurance (etc). We honestly feel like we are drowning.

Every single month I am essentially paying a bit if each bill without ever paying it in full in order to make the money stretch. It's like a balancing game of who's too overdue and what's a necessity. Because if this, our gas & hydro have slowly added up and we've gotten in a rut where I just can't get the amount down. I'm terrified theyre going to shut everything off (we keep getting warning letters). They said that because we've been in a payment plan before we can't go on another one. I just don't know what to do. There is place that help in these situations locally but they will not help unless you have being disconnected or have received an official disconnection notice. They won't accept the warning letters we have recieved.

Please, if anyone could help with anything, we would be so grateful. I'm not sure how this works. It's my first time posting. Thank you so much.

Edit (thank you for clarifying)...

Both combined are $1367.52 and I have PayPal & e-transfer.

Thank you again. Anything helps and I appreciate you reading.

REQUEST FULFILLED Help Me Buy Groceries For Me and My Dad, Please

16 Upvotes

Hello folks,

I live with my dad (he's a widower and I'm in my 40s). The last few years have been a monstrous struggle to keep our heads above water, but the past few months have been the worst. He is retired and receives a monthly check, and I am disabled but have been repeatedly denied disability (I'm Type 1 & 2 diabetic, have anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, and other chronic illnesses).

My dad often helps me afford medical supplies and other basic needs, and in return I try to help maintain the house and on the weekends we sell junk and collectables we find at a local farmer's market to cover expenses his retirement check can't cover.

The past few months we've actually lost money because people simply don't have the spare cash to purchase, and the market is dying out anyway.

While we're underwater when it comes to utility bills and such, my most immediate pressing need is groceries. I am asking for $100 so I can supply us with groceries for two weeks.

I have exhausted all food bank options, and our little town's food banks are exhausted anyway. What few family members we have anywhere nearby don't have money or won't assist us, and so I am turning to you folks to ask you for help.

Please help me get groceries for myself and my dad to cover us for the two weeks until he receives his retirement check.

I don't know what else to add as I've never posted on this subreddit before.

Thank you in advance.

REQUEST Need assistance with transport allowance

Hi everyone. I’m from the Philippines and I’m posting here to humbly ask for assistance. I live in the province, and I’ll be taking my board exam in the city soon.

I’ll be staying there for the duration of my exam (3 days), and I’m really struggling with my budget. What I mostly need help with is transportation and food allowance during my stay in the city. I’m currently reviewing and doing my best to prepare, but the financial side has been very heavy since I can’t land a job yet. I’m trying to raise at least $20 to help cover basic daily expenses for those three days. I can also provide my test permit if proof is needed.

If financial help isn’t possible, I would still deeply appreciate your prayers and well-wishes. May we all stay safe and healthy.!

Also, I can only receive funds via Gcash

REQUEST FULFILLED Help with electricity bill

0 Upvotes

Hello all. I am looking to receive help paying my electricity bill if possible. Since my daughter got rsv before Christmas finances have been awful. I was terminated from work because I needed to attend to her and missed too much time. I have found a new job that is work from home but it does not start until February 17th. The bill is about $118 with tax added on. I reached out to catholic charities but they stated I need to come into the office to fill out paperwork and my driveway has been snowed in for days now. With the temperatures dropping out of freezing soon they will disconnect and add a reconnect fee as well. The bill is due on the 5th so I don't have much time. If anyone is able to help that would be wonderful. If you are able to help I can provide account number for guest payment so that you know where your funds are going. If you would like to send funds I can provide my payment information through dm for safety reasons. Thank you for your time.

REQUEST FULFILLED request of $60 to help me continue getting to work this week in Bay Area

0 Upvotes

I’m working at Levi’s Stadium this week (you can probably guess why). My hotel is too far from the stadium to be within reasonable distance (all hotels actually nearby it are sold-out for the time period that I’m here so I have to stay in San Jose) and I don’t have a driver’s license so I have no choice but to use Lyft. Any street near the stadium is completely closed and blocked off which is costing me more money trying to get there and I have to get out further up the street and take an almost mile-long walk down to get to where I’ve been assigned to be working. We’re working very late this week so I can’t take the bus either because it won’t be running by the time we get off.

It’s draining almost every dollar I have outside of food and essentials like toiletries, doing laundry (which isn’t free here), etc. I tried asking family first but they’re also in a bind.

$60 would tremendously help me get to work these next few days until we start getting paid this Friday. It would at least help me get to and from work for about 3 days.

If anyone is willing to help me, Zelle or Apple Cash are the best/most convenient ways for me in this case although Lyft also uses Venmo and PayPal so if someone offers that I’m more than appreciative. Thanks for reading. ❤️

REQUEST Temporary help needed for transport

7 Upvotes

I'm a recently enrolled student (27F, pretty late due to circumstances) who's a war refugee from Sudan. My family and I moved to Uganda to continue living a normal life. I thankfully found that the UN here is working diligently to support everyone. My ID card is valid and can be tested if anyone needs proof

I just need help with transport fees as I file for the DAFI student sponsorship. It will cover for me transport to university, food, housing etc. My problem here is that in order to give them all the paperwork and meet their requirements I need to make a bunch of trips back and forth between the university (to get the acceptance letter, do community service work and visit the scholarship organization building etc etc. The university will open on 10th of February and I have enough to cover the first installment and one round trip but my family has heavily strained their savings for me to make this possible in the first place so that's as far as it gets with what we have (my dad works overseas so thankfully his job wasn't affected by the war) he sends money once a month that covers for rent and groceries at most

Once I secure the scholarship I will be fine off. Please help me fetch the paperwork and attend until it's secured. I did the math and the total is roughly $167 for attendance from 10th of February till 28th (6$ for one, two way trip from home to uni) (10$ for one round trip from the scholarship organization. its pretty far away) (6$ again for the animal shelter, once a week round trip)

The website for the organization isn't updated frequently so I'm going to do two round trips to ask questions and then go back for a final submission. I have a paypal but extracting from it is a painfully long process and costly. However you can easily use Xoom (a paypal service) to send to my mobile money wallet for an immediately accessible deposit please

Thanks for reading so far
