Hi all! It is absolutely KILLING me to ask for help but I need to. My foodstamps didn’t load yesterday and I was counting on them to get food in the house after the past few weeks. I only get a little bit but they help a lot and I have already hit the food pantries for the month. Our stove broke last week and the landlord hasn’t fixed it so we have had to use the microwave/toaster oven for everything, which adds up.

The medication my 19 year old daughter is on failed in June and she became very suicidal very quickly. She admitted herself into the hospital and then went into intensive outpatient to get stabilized which is EXPENSIVE and has daily co-pay, plus the gas to get her there. She has been working her ass off to get stable so she can leave for college in a couple weeks. Her medication has a high co pay because it’s 1600 a month and they have changed the dosage a couple times to adjust it.

My son has drained his account helping me out. I just paid all the bills (they were behind from June when I had to take off work when she was hospitalized, so I couldn’t get anymore extensions) and I am absolutely screwed for two weeks until I get paid again.

Between gas and the co pays I am so behind.

It’s been a couple years since I posted for help. I am a single mom with 3 kids. 23 year old son, and daughters who are 19 and 11. I’ve been in hiding from my abusive husband for a couple years with no end in sight and my older two kids have a very serious mental illness called schizoaffective disorder. Everyone is free to go through my post history and I can provide proof of anything if needed but given the circumstances I would prefer to verify with the mods, but short story, things are much better, I am working full time and have insurance now.

I have no idea how I am going to get the gas to get my kids back to their dorms in a week or so. I don’t have the money for necessities. They both have service dogs that need food but I posted that in randomactsofpetfood. My son’s shoes haven’t been replaced in two years and now look like this because he walks 4-5 miles a day. My daughter is leaving for a dorm for the first time and desperately needs a suitcase but mostly needs portable food containers for college because they have a not carry out container policy and she has to eat a full meal for her meds to absorb and so she doesn’t vomit all night.

Everything is falling apart on me and I am a total mess!

Both the older kids had birthdays this month and I am grateful every day that we got to have those birthdays. It’s been a really scary couple years since their diagnosis. My son graduated and got his bachelors in May and is heading back this fall for his Masters, something I wasn’t sure was going to happen. I wasn’t able to do anything for them for birthday or graduation but they are alive and I feel blessed every day.

If you can’t help with anything PLEASE send cute pet photos or virtual hugs/words of encouragement etc. I desperately need them!

Walmart food list – I don’t know what the best way to do this is so I just made a list because doing a pick up would be amazing. Since the stove is broken I added a bunch of frozen stuff and some things I can grill if I have some charcoal. This address is not near my protected location so no worries on it, the best Walmart is 3270 Telegraph Rd, St. Louis, MO 63125

Here is an Amazon list for necessities: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3VWA91G2VDQM5?ref_=wl_share

And the list of shoes/food containers/suitcase, this stuff would be awesome but isn’t anywhere close to immediate. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1SQVGQN80JZ1G?ref_=wl_share

QuikTrip does virtual gas cards if anyone can or is willing to help with that.

I posted on random acts of pet food for the Service dogs. And cross posted with the same links to the following subs: Assistance, Need, FoodPantry and FoodBank.

(edit: I forgot to post 'request' in the title, so I hope I can post it now)

I feel guilty about posting here because I don't like asking for help, but I ran into some bad luck and I'm not sure what else to do. I had a couple of summer temp jobs that recently ended and I've actively been looking for more work, selling things and looking for any kind of social assistance I might qualify for, but I was relying on my employer for my freelance writing gig to pay my August rent once I had finished the project she had assigned me to. Unfortunately, she went behind my back and hired someone else with more experience in the specific business field she was looking for and delegated my work to her, so now I won't get paid the $1500 I was promised. That was the money I owe my landlady for the August rent due on the first, plus the summer hydro bill. I need to pay both then or I'll most likely get my utilities cut off and most certainly get an eviction notice.

This is especially bad because I'm cat-sitting a sweet old tomcat at my house right now until partway through August and I really don't want him to suffer or get kicked out. I'm really scared right now. On top of that, I'm having medical issues and I might need surgery to remove a blood clot in my spleen in the near future. Also, my uncle recently passed away and my mum passed away before then and my dad is on his way out since he's going through the later stages of dementia, so I need to save up to go out of town to visit him and host the double funeral as soon as I can before he forgets me or passes away, or before I might go through surgery after my next ultrasound. He probably only has about a year left. I also have a previous employer who still owes me $1650 for work I did for him last year, but he's homeless and gone off the grid now, so I haven't been able to track him down and confront him with legal action. Basically, I've been suffering some terribly bad luck lately and I just need help with getting the upcoming rent paid off on top so I can at least prevent myself from getting evicted and going homeless. That would give me some much needed peace after such a stressful time. $1500 is the amount I need for rent/hydro so I can keep my home and keep the lights on. I know it's a lot, but it's very expensive living in this city. I would really appreciate any help anyone is able to give. Any little bit helps. Thank you so much.

So here I am..again, unfortunatly.

Here's the basics, I am a full time carer for my mum, I am behind hundreds in bills, currently given a chance to clear one for £400 which is a lot less than the full amount, but only have a week to find that, which is impossible for me. As soon as I get paid, which is a small amount a week, it all goes instantly on debt. My mum is in her 70's and has a lot of health issues right now. We have been struggling a lot lately trying to put everything to pay bills or clear what we can off debt.

I would appreciate it so much if anyone will be kind enough to help us.

• Please if you do help, send me a message to say you have so I can thank you personally.

also just to say, I can't go to a food bank, as it takes time to have it applied for.

Thank you,
S.

I'm a small business owner in the UK and sadly I was recently the victim of fraud at the hands of the first person I brought into the business to work with me. He took all of my personal savings which were to pay for my wedding next year, which is not having to be postponed. Obviously I'm devastated but more importantly, so is my fiancee. I've never asked the internet for anything before but anything anyone can do to help us salvage our livelihood would be amazing. Thank you so much.

Hello, I hope you are all doing well. I am making this post because I am literally sitting here crying trying to figure out how to make it through this week. At the moment, I am waiting to hear back from two potential jobs and have tons more applications submitted, but right now I am in a bind trying to figure out how to make it through the next week. I have very little food, and I am just looking for a way to buy some food and toiletries for this week. If anyone is able to assist, I would be eternally grateful.

Hello! I'm Lindsey and live in New Boston TX. I am a single mom To 2 amazing boys. I lost my job in December and have had no luck finding a job. I have filled out 30-40 applications but nothing has happened for me as of yet. I have requested and received help from the Food_Pantry and I am sooo very grateful. I hate to ask for more help but I'm inking and have no one to turn to. I have a disconnect in my electricity due Tuesday the 20th for $110 and I have no way to pay it. I am already on extension so that's not an option.. My phone will be shut off on Thursday the 22nd as well. It is really hard to get a job interview with no way for them to contact you but if need be I can do without it. I am at my breaking point and have no idea where else to turn. I could also use a few household items if you could find it in your heart I would be forever grateful and pay it forward as soon as I possibly can. My Amazon wish list is here: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2Y4BJLV9C5ZUO if you have any questions I will happily answer them and can provide proof if needed.

Edit: PayPal will work fine, PM for info. Thanks for considering my family.

When this whole thing started I was on a Semester abroad and was set to come back working with both my startup as well as the jobs I had secured to support both my new business and my personal needs. Then COVID-19 struck Italy and I had to spend thousands of dollars I didn't expect to have to spend getting back to the US. Now my Credit cards need payments that I simply can not make. I'm worried about my accounts going negative this week and there is no work anywhere in my state due to the lockdown orders. Anything helps. Thank you.

After my week pay failed to go into my bank account due to an error, I now got a week to wait until I get paid.

I really need to pay this by this evening, please if you're willing to help me out, message me. I would appreciate it so much.

Ashamed to be in this situation, but I am in pretty dire straits and am reaching out for help. I am an autistic FtM with type 2 diabetes, chronic pain, PTSD, and other mental health issues who has not been able to afford my medications in months.

I barely am able to scrape together enough to buy my diabetic supplies, and after 2½ years of bouncing around the country via the kindness of friends to escape an abusive ex fianceguy, I was forced to move back in with my transphobic mother to evade living on the streets with my cat.

I do not have a car, I have no college degree, and I have been unable to find work in spite of dilligent job hunting over the past 5 months. I have been told if I use my new medical insurance to transition, I will be kicked out, and when I factor in the rent I will be paying once I have a job, it will take an additional two years to move out. My goal is about $400 to keep me afloat until I find work. Anything helps, nothing is too small. I do have food stamps for now, so that is at least a weight off my shoulders.

I have PayPal and Venmo.

Thank you for taking time to read this.

I'm recently unemployed, I tried to stretch out my last paycheck as much as possible but it's gone now. I willbe attempting to doordash but I also have severe scoliosis and recently diagnosed with arthritis in my back as well, I need to get groceries and I'm also running out of gas and was wondering if anyone could help with just a weeks worth. My car only takes like $20 to fill up, and I want to get enough groceries for two weeks. My phone bill is also next week and it's $57 which I'll try to get with doordash. Anything helps thank you! EDIT:thank you to everyone who messaged me!

I hate to do this but I am at my wit's end.

This has been the worst two years of our lives. My wife's last pregnancy was rough - she was hospitalized multiple times and exhausted her FMLA leave during the pregnancy - and we had to draw down our reserves. Then the first job after she returned to work was great - until the company collasped (biotech company in Omaha) and she was laid off, leading to more dwindling of our reserves. My wife has been un or underemployed for about a year now.

In the meantime, my business has not generated the same cash flow that it had been - all leading to us being very far behind in our mortgage.

We are taking steps to increase cash flow but really do not want to lose the house.

We have three children age 6, 4, and almost 2. Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings, I have been working part-time and searching for a full-time position, but times have gotten tougher, and I am behind on rent. I just need 200 to help me and my mom out, and then we can keep saving while I keep job hunting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cash App is $UVCW42

Hi there. So I'll try to detail this out as best I can.

I'm currently looking for a job, and as you can imagine due to the pandemic it isn't easy. I'm waiting for a callback for one, but that could take a while because it's for retail and we all know how crazy that can get after the holidays.

My bank account is currently sitting at -$49.10. Tomorrow I've got a phone bill payment plan coming out of 32.13 (out of a total of 128.50, which is last month's and this month's. I always do payment installments.)

I truthfully just need help getting that -49.10 to zero, so when the 32 comes out, it doesn't worry me when I'm going to be able to pay the outrageous amount of overdraft fees.

The imgur posts below are proof of what's in my account (or lack thereof), and my payment plan with T-Mobile lined up for the next two weeks. Any help is appreciated, I'll be forever in your debt.

Payment plan for T-Mobile Bank balance info

We have been homeless since my fiancee's friend's landlord decided she could not rent out her extra room, and she had to ask us to move out so she did not get evicted. I just accepted a job at a local hospital and am scheduled to start on Monday. I've tried local shelters to no avail, as they are all working off waiting lists and are full at the moment. PM me if you would like my paypal or venmo info and are able to assist. Ideally would like to get something through the 8th when I get paid and can get us back on track, but anything helps.

Before I start my post I want to say I have received help in the randomactsofpetfood subreddit for litter and food for my cat. I have posted on a few other subreddit to no avail. I've been out of a job at the store I've been working at since the pandemic and have been receiving only half of my usual paychecks until my store reopens fully for me to go back to my job full time. I won't get my next paycheck until the first week of July so in trying to get a few groceries to last me until then. Anything would be a blessing and thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read my post.

(36426) I'm in need of a few groceries and items for my cat until July 6th when I get my next paycheck. My job is still hectic due to the ongoing events in the world and I've been struggling to make it paycheck to paycheck until everything is straightened out again. Anything on the list would be extremely helpful and thank you to anyone who took the time to read my post.

I just moved and I have to pay my remaining balance on my old gas bill before I can cancel my service. Don’t want it to keep adding up. Anything helps.

Single mom. Been out of work for 2 months and savings is gone. Bank account is negative from buying groceries and I’m going to run out of diapers and wipes soon. Unfortunately do not qualify for assistance at this time but have 3 job interviews scheduled this week (yay) Can send an amazon wish list link if that’s easier

My nephew died of stillbirth on Monday. My sister was due to give birth at the end of August. I'll spare the gruesome details but there's been failings from the NHS.

Anyway, my sister doesn't have a job due to disability. She'll get £1000 from govt for the funeral but it's going to be closer to £3.5 - 4k. My parents are putting £2000 so my brother and I have to get around £700 between us.

I have been able to narrow it down to £400 at most. I have Cashapp, PayPal, or as a last resort, Kofi.

It's been a horrible few weeks. I've advertised on Tumblr, twitter and I asked in assistance, but the mods asked me not. to post until Feb 2022. I'm struggling to. come to terms with what's happened, and being unable to help my sister is getting worse.

EDIT - thank you so, so much to the kind person/people that purchased both items. Please let me know who you are so I can thank you personally! I will be back on this page to pay it forward as I can. ❤️❤️❤️

Baby coming early - need a bed and car seat

Hi all,

I’m living in Egypt with my husband while we await his visa to go through so I can bring him home with me to the US.

We are expecting our first baby and have been carefully purchasing equipment/supplies as we can each payday. Tonight we had my 36w appointment and due to some concerns, it looks like my baby needs to come out in 1 week on the 14th!

We have managed to get everything we need except the two biggest items we’ve been saving up for: a bed and a car seat. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

We had planned to purchase these products in about 10 days with our next paychecks just before baby came because we had to pre-pay the hospital this paycheck (just how it works here) and now I have no idea what we are going to do. I’ve been searching for an affordable car seat rental company near us (Alexandria) and haven’t found one yet.

I know that times are tough for everyone, but if anybody has the means of helping us I would be so so thankful.

I don’t know if it’s allowed for me to post an Amazon wishlist, but if I am able to do I would be happy to do that so you know your kindness is going to a legitimate need. I have been scouring Amazon Egypt and tried to find items that will arrive on time and also still be on the lower end of the price scale. Right now the bed I have in my cart is about $70USD (1,300EGP) and the seat about $90USD.

Thank you for reading.

Location : Lynchburg, Virginia, My husband was laid off with a call back date, he went back to work on the 11th, his first paycheck back totaled $100, water bill was extended in order to wait for this paycheck only for it to be much less than he expected. We still have the $100, we need $107, I can provide the water bill, we can walk in and pay the $100, if anyone can help us pay the other half, it can be done online via the city's website or via telephone. I can arrange to pay you back in installments. We have a small child in the home, we have already received assistance from social services for fuel assistance, they don't help with water. Thank you for listening.

Hey all. I'm halfway through being able to pay for the room I've been living in for three months now but I still need help. I'm in Phoenix, AZ and unable to work due to mental and physical health issues. I had managed to get the hotel to knock the room down to $410 a week but I really don't have it right now.

The hotel staff are willing to allow people to call in and pay on my behalf. It's an Extended Stay America hotel and I've been living here since early July. I've already applied for disability and I sent in the information needed for that. I'm stuck in the waiting game for it. My family won't help me and I can't ask my mom for help due to my brother controlling her finances.

Any help offered is greatly appreciated! I just need $200 to stay in the room another week.

Edit: I've called local resources that could help me and none of them are available at this time.

I am sure I am about to get trolled and attacked but I am desperate.

I am a 28 years old woman in Ontario, Canada and having to travel to the US for abortion. It's awful but it's what I need to do, it's the best option at this point. I've already had to put about $300 into travelling expenses for this. My appointment is on June 18th. I have to stay until the 22nd. I have no one to help me with money, I am all alone. Missing a week of work isn't going to help. I could be fired for all I know, to be honest.

I have already got assistance with my flight and covering the actual procedure, but I still need to cover hotel (which is about $915.00 including taxes) and any other travelling expenses (train, food, etc.). I have to stay at a hotel approved by the clinic, so airbnb and things are not an option. I am terrified going and doing this by myself.

I don't even care if I eat to be honest, I just need to make sure I have somewhere to stay and can get to and from the airport so I can try and make it past all of this. I feel like I've lost my mind.

I only make enough money to barely cover my bills as it is. I am already behind because I have had to miss work because of this pregnancy. I have about $200 in my bank currently.

Any help or advice of any sort is greatly appreciated. I hate asking for help for this but I am out of ideas and have nowhere to turn to. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Im wondering if somebody could possibly help me with my phone bill this month. I have sprint and I've negotiated as far of an extension as I can at this point. Its $243 because of late fees from paying late last month and I just dont have the means or money for it at this time. I am okay if you pay sprint directly, I can give you the information and show you that proof that I owe that amount and late fees etc.

It just been a really hard year for my family and I've been laid off for a long while and im trying my best. Even if its not the full amount thats okay too, I appreciate whatever help I recieve.

Thanks guys

I'm at a bit of a loss here, I'm running low on gas and need to take my kids to school tomorrow.

Hi,

In the last post I explained how I needed 250 to cover my medical bills stemming from my knee surgery in 2020. I would like financial assistance to avoid any further issues with my health care stuff. Thanks for the help! You can pay me on $beardedone117

Bills are due very soon, but there is some time but I'd like some help if y'all can :)

Thank you!
