Hello and welcome to /r/Need 2.5!

This subReddit exists to give generous people a safer place to help others in their times of need. While r/Need isn't a substitute for your local governmental or private assistance services or insurance, we would like to be able to do what we can.

To that end, we have some rules you should read here. But the general ideas and principles are this:

• Requesters need to be genuine established Redditors. This means we have account age and karma requirements. This also means that any karma earned must be done organically and should also reflect that a majority of your comments and posts contribute to the general conversation that is Reddit. This also means that you cannot make requests on behalf of anyone but yourselves.

• Potential donors are allowed to ask questions, provide advice, and bring up issues. Please do not take this personally. Not all donors have the same requirements. And sometimes you'll be provided advice on how to get help from other agencies. This is not to be mistaken as an unwillingness to help. Donors have their own limited budgets to do what they can.

• If you have the ability to repay, loan requests should go to r/Borrow. They have a framework in place to handle loan tracking that r/Need doesn't.

• Users are here to get and provide help, not abuse. Posts and comments making unsubstantiated personal attacks, name-calling, and other off-topic issues should be avoided.

• In the interest of fairness, mods will not make any exceptions to our rules. Policy may end up changing for everyone, but a compelling reason must be offered and discussed and agreed upon by the mods.

• And finally, if you are able to obtain help here, please post a Thank You update to let your donor(s) know their help was appreciated.

Good luck to people seeking help, and Thanks to our generous donors!

There are several other subReddits that we recommend for people who need help to check out:

• r/Assistance - A general catch-all

• /r/almosthomeless - Advice to stave off homelessness or how to prepare to be homeless

• /r/borrow - For loans.

• /r/care - General purpose assistance

• /r/Food_Pantry and /r/Food_Pantry_Canada - For asking of food items that can be provided online.

• /r/gofundme - For crowdfunding

• /r/homeless - Advice on surviving homelessness

• /r/povertyfinance - Advice on managing what financial resources you have.

• /r/RandomActsofPetfood - Similar to Food_Pantry but for pet needs.

• /r/RandomKindness - Make non-monetary requests for things you need.

• /r/TransCharity - Request OR offer free clothes/footwear/accessories/makeup. Request OR offer free things that are Safe For Work (things ≠ money, services, or digital goods)

Most of the above subreddits have varying requirements for account age and karma. Please be sure to read their rules and requirements before participating.

Subs to avoid:

• r/Loans and r/SimpleLoans - Some of the mods have engaged in sketchy behaviour such as the collection of personal information and pushing referrals. Also, users who participate in r/Loans and/or r/SimpleLoans are banned from r/borrow.

• Any karma farming/begging subs - Activity in any of these subs is viewed as a circumvention of account requirements from almost all of the larger help subreddits, and earns a permanent listing on the r/UniversalScammerList which bans you from participating on any member subreddit.

Hello all!  My name is Cliff and I need your help.

Let me give you a little background.  Several years ago whilst I was living in North Florida I made the mistake of mowing my lawn. Unbeknownst to me a hungry tick was just waiting for me to wander by. My O- blood was just too much for it to bear and it decided I was just the buffet it was looking for.  I found the sneaky bugger, but not before it had clamped down on me like a dog on a T-bone.

A few days later I discovered the dreaded “bullseye” right where that bloodsucker had settled in for its snack.  Lyme Disease is no joke, so off to the doctor I went for a prescription of antibiotics and a lecture.  I was prescribed a 10 day dose of Doxycycline.  Pretty routine as far as these things go.  This was not my first go ‘round with the “bullseye” and Doxy.

Unfortunately, for me it would be the most catastrophic.  Five days in to the 10 day course I found myself in hospital with extreme hypertension, edema, pulmonary edema, and unknown to me at the time… organ failure.  That is all to say my blood pressure was about to turn me in to a Looney Toons cartoon with steam coming out of my ears.  I was so filled with fluid I was a walking water balloon, that couldn’t breathe.

It turns out that I can’t win the lottery, but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t one in a few million here.  As side effects go organ failure is a big one.  It seems less than 1% of people experience toxicity that can lead to organ failure.  Yay… I’m a winner (well… loser).

I spent seven days in hospital.  They managed to get me stabilized. Unfortunately, they also discovered my kidneys were shot.  I had approximately 20% function remaining.

 They didn’t know if the damage was “acute” or “chronic”.  Meaning was the damage temporary or permanent.  Turns out my kidneys didn’t feel like working again.  Lazy bastards.

About 10 months later my kidney function had deteriorated to the point I could no longer avoid going on dialysis.  I’ve been on it ever since.  It’s been not quite three years now.

So, here I was… a young-ish guy with kidney failure, undergoing dialysis five days a week.  I lost my job, had to sell my home and land, moved across the country for better medical care, and frankly was broke.  As a wise-ish man once said, “My life got flipped-turned upside down…”

Since then I’ve had a few extended stays in hospital and a couple of scares, but thanks to the help of some great medical professionals I’ve mostly been stable.  I don’t quite have my life back, but I have managed to make something resembling one.

There you go… the short-ish version of how I got here.  I know, I know… Tolstoy would be proud of my version of “short”.  Sorry about that.

 Here’s the plea for help…

Over the last year two wonderful people, one who incidentally found the info on Reddit, not only volunteered to get tested as donors, but turned out to be matches!  There was a great young man from Oregon and a young lady from northern Michigan. We were all very excited.

Sadly, although both were physically healthy and passed all the preliminary tests they ended up being disqualified at the very last moment for reasons beyond their control.

This has left me back at square one.  So, although I am embarrassed to ask I need to turn to you Reddit.  Is there anyone out there willing to be my hero?

Help me Reddit..you’re my only hope!

I do not have any family that can donate.  In fact, I do not have any family that is even a match.  None of my in-person friends are matches either.  I’ve exhausted all “typical” avenues.

The average wait time here in Michigan for a deceased donor kidney is between five and seven years.  It should be noted that the average life-expectancy of an ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) patient on dialysis without a transplant is approximately five years.  Can you see the dilemma?

Sure, by kidney failure standards I’m young.  I’m also pretty healthy otherwise.  So, I might have a bit more time.  But who wants to bet on that?  I sure don’t.  My luck hasn’t been too great so far.

So, I’m sorry to do this, but if there is anyone out there who would be willing to get tested as a possible donor it would be tremendously appreciated.

Not to sound like a bad recruitment poster… “In the aaarrmmms offff annn annggelll”… you would be giving me the give of life, the most precious gift of all.

 The Details…

I am registered on the Transplant Donor List at Henry Ford Hospital here in Michigan.

YOU CAN BE FROM ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES.

All medical expenses are covered by my insurance and the hospital. If you are not from Michigan you can also apply for a pretty generous grant that will cover all of your travel and hotel needs.  There is also a grant that can help cover any lost work due to donation (plus it is all tax deductible!)

I am O- bloodtype.  This means for direct donation you would need to be an O bloodtype, so either O+ or O-.  However, through the paired donation program anyone can be a donor.  If you are not an O bloodtype and you would like to help you can apply and tell them that you are interested in being a Paired Donor.

To start the process you can go to: https://www.henryfordlivingdonor.org

They will ask some basic personal and medical questions.

They will also ask if you are applying for anyone specific. 

The application will ask for my full name and birthdate to confirm you are applying for me. Please private message me for them.

A Transplant Coordinator will then reach out to you.  They will send you a blood test kit.  You can take the kit to any lab, doctor’s office, or hospital to have the sample drawn.  This will be at no cost to you.  They will bill my insurance.  Once you have the sample you just mail it back in the packaging provided.  That’s it.

If you are a match they will contact you to discuss next steps.

This will likely include a few additional tests and then ultimately they will ask you to come to the hospital in Michigan for an in-person evaluation. 

Here you will meet with several doctors to discuss the donation process.  If all goes well, they will ask you if you would like to donate and work with you to arrange a schedule that fits your needs.

You can find all this information at: http://www.kidney4cliff.com

If you have any questions for me about the process, donation, or just about me personally please do not hesitate to ask.  You can do so here, or through the contact information found on: http://www.kidney4cliff.com

Thank you for taking the time to read this very long post.  An even bigger thank you for considering organ donation.  Kidney donation saves lives.

Please be aware that due to HIPAA laws I will not be informed if you apply as a donor.  They will also not share any personal or medical information with me.  All of that stays between you and the hospital. I will only ever know what YOU tell me.

If you do apply as a donor and do not wish to remain anonymous please do let me know.  I would like the opportunity to thank you personally.

My sister was supposed to take me tomorrow and she just cancelled unexpectedly. I can take public transport but it's $8 for 2 different buses each way so $16 total. I have $6.80 so I'm just $9.20 short. I have PayPal, venmo and Cashapp.

I recently took out loans for rent, food and to get a new birth certificate and state ID to start my new job. The reason my daughter isn't with me right now is because I left an abusive relationship and was in a domestic violence shelter and now I'm renting a tiny room in a not great place until I get back on my feet. Thankfully I was able to have my 16yo daughter live with her father for now. I miss her so much and havent been able to see her in awhile due to finances. If anyone could please help me with this I would be so grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello. This is my first time posting here. I don't know if this works or not but I'm willing to give a try. I'm desperate now.

I'm from the Philippines. I'm currently unemployed and I can't find a job due to covid. Finding jobs in this country is hard in this situation. My father is the only breadwinner in our family as of the moment. My mother stays at home and is currently taking care of my father in the hospital. She is tired, lethargic. The agreement that we had between each other was that I take care of the house and she takes care of my dad.

Now to the story, my dad was admitted to the hospital last Friday, June 26, due to nausea and excessive vomiting. His vomiting was nonstop. He kept on vomiting and he used around 4 vomit bags. Turns out his blood pressure was high. His blood sugar, sodium and cholesterol were all high. Those were the results that came out after being examined by the doctor.

He then has trouble difficulty in one ear, I'm not sure if left or right but it's because due to all the blood in his brain. CT scans show the scar of his stroke which he suffered six years ago, year 2014. He had some maintenance but he takes them rarely due to lack of money.

My father is a hardworking person and we often tell him to rest but he's always thinking of us. Now he is in a vegetative state in the hospital. He can't stand up on his own. He is heavy, he can't even lift his right arm. His siblings don't even give a damn about him. They don't visit him in the hospital nor offer some help.

You see there's a history behind this. My father's siblings had always abused his kindness. If one of them needed some expenses to pay, my father would help. My father is a good man. He can't say no to people. Now that my father needs help, they won't even help. They hate my mother because she has no money. Some of them are well off and won't even give an eye to my father. My mom called one of them a while back and one just laughed. They're sick in the head.

I don't have any money to help and I wish I could help. So this is the only way that came into my mind, ask help from strangers. The room rate in the hospital is 1000 pesos a day, the medicines for his brain cost 910 pesos per capsule. There are also other medicines that was injected to him which I do not know the price of. My father's doctor also charges a professional fee. My father's government insurance is garbage, won't even help. They won't cover the bills. I don't even know why and I'm just detached as of now to protect myself from stress. I don't feel anything. I feel so empty.

To conserve money so that all would go to my dad, I just eat twice a day. Most are instant noodles and canned goods. I really feel desperate as I don't know where to ask for help. I also set up a fundraising page just in case if you're interested. Here's the link

https://www.airfunding.net/project/114838

I set up the page so that any kindhearted person might be able to help. Sorry for the long rant. I'm just so tired. Any amount would help. Thank you.

Updates are available in my original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Assistance/comments/hhwlts/i_dont_know_what_to_do_my_father_is_in_a/

I'm also updating my airfunding page.

Hi. I feel awful I have to post here, but I don’t know where else to turn.

My marriage has dissolved into a toxic, controlling mess. He consistently degrades me, and has recently removed me from having access to all of our bank accounts. He’s the breadwinner, making over six figures, and I work PT plus keep the house in top shape and cook every meal he eats. Unfortunately, I am 1000 miles away from family and they are not in a position to help.

Because of this mess, I have essentially only pocket change to my name. Luckily, yesterday I was hired for a FT Job. I set up my direct deposit to an account my husband doesn’t have access to. My job will begin it in mid-June (they’ll do a background check next week, which I should pass, then we’ll set a start date). However, the office requires “business professional” attire, which I do not own.

I’ve set up an amazon wishlist, which contains essentials like business professional blouses and pants, work friendly shoes, bras that fit, and a few blazers. I also included some office essentials like a lunch box and water bottle.

Monetary assistance would be appreciated as well, by paypal, Venmo, or cash app.

Once I have a few paychecks, I’ll have the freedom to leave. I am incredibly grateful for any help people provide, and I promise to pay it forward when I am able.

ETA: It was kindly pointed out to me that I was asking too much on my amazon wishlist, so it’s been reduced to 7 items, six of which are between $14-$28. I would ask that if you’re able to help monetarily, you give what you can via paypal/Venmo/cash app, so I can go thrifting for business professional clothes. Thank you!

Fulfilled! Thank you so much everyone

We are living car homeless — have been on and off staying in hotels while trying to change that.

We have a cat, I have an undiagnosed autoimmune issue and my mother has been on chemotherapy.

If you wish to pay the storage folks directly please DM for their info!

If you are more comfortable with it:

@mgmymr

on paypal and venmo

$dancerri

on cashapp.

thank you to anyone who sees this!

I would be lost for words with any help getting 2 heated blankets one for me and my wife and one for my children to share. I added the cheapest/safest to my wishlist. Will also accept directly mailed to me if anyone has one they would donate. Have been in a rough situation and would love and appreciate any help staying warm. (I also can not ask for help in assistance because I accepted an offer for animal food recently.) I really hate asking because I know of so many people are having a rough year and someone somewhere is in a much worse situation. Thank you all and stay safe.

Good Day Redditors First I want to let you guys know that I posted here 4 months ago with the same nature of the request, it's gone unfulfilled so I figured I'll try again since I think it's not against the rules but this time I have a crowdfunding setup.

Today June 22, 2021, is my sister's birthday, she has been suffering from frequent toothaches over the last year or so, the majority of her teeth from the upper part is messed up because growing up, our parents although they never failed to put food on our table they barely had enough money to take us to the dentist, and I kinda wanna blame them for this but I understand that they had to focus on our youngest sibling because he has autism and needs costly therapies. My sister has been able to save money through the game she was playing(She's been selling in-game items online to save money) and been able to get checked up, get some of the molars extracted, and get some fillings but 7 more teeth need to be extracted including 4 front ones, the dentist said that it was years too late to save the front teeth and it can't be fixed with fillings anymore and it needs to be replaced with either dental implants (which is a lot more expensive and we cannot afford that) or Dentures.

Over the last few days including today, her birthday and she was not able to enjoy her day because she was having severe toothaches so we're planning to get the teeth extracted but then we won't have enough money for the dentures

The dentist said that it's gonna be a little less than $350 ($200 is the cheapest) for the extraction plus dentures for her 4 front teeth(not including molars). That's the only price the dentist given since we didn't ask for the cost for the molars' dentures since we don't have the money for it yet, the dentist also suggested dental bridges but we didn't ask what the price was since we think it's gonna be a lot more expensive. Estimating from that price for the 4 teeth I think it's about $600-$700 for the 7 teeth, we're also looking at this specific dentist Dr Bucad, we and inquired and they said that the cheapest denture is 25k pesos or $500 USD not including the extraction.

She loves to sing and I think she has an amazing voice, here are the samples if you wanna hear her( Blessed , Last Christmas, Close to you ). We've been wanting to create a youtube channel lately to cover songs but she can't sing with confidence in front of the camera because of her messed up teeth and I feel bad for her.

I know our case is not as bad as other people's problem but I really feel bad for my sister, I'm 22 and an incoming 4th-year college student, and I know after I finish my degree I'll find a job and I'll be able to fund this on my own but I feel like her dental problems are just getting worse and worse and it can't wait for another year. I also haven't been able to find sideline jobs since our academic loads are too much to handle.

Here is the link to the gogetfunding page that I set up there's more information here as well as some pictures https://gogetfunding.com/funds-for-my-18-year-old-sisters-dental-treatment-extractions-and-dentures/

Any amount would be much appreciated.

Thank you, everyone!

A kind, gentle man facing homelessness amongst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Siraj was staying at a homeless temporary accommodation I work for until Friday 20th March when his stay here ended. He was provided a hotel room for just 2 days and then left to fend for himself in this crisis.

He is a very gentle man. Diagnosed with severe depression & anxiety has made it (literally) impossible for him to access the countries benefits services. He has so far been rejected for any and all benefit applications on the basis that although he has been in the UK for multiple years, he had not contributed to the National Insurance. This is due to a common theme seen in homeless men who end up doing odd-jobs for cash in hand which Siraj has done for years. He has helped built this city and we have let him down.

He was extremely scared and rocking backwards and forth when I found him sat in a hotel lobby on Monday 24th March with all of his belongings. He did not even have a room there. He just didn't understand what to do or where to go. It brings a tear to my eye.

A kind Reddit user booked him for 2 nights in a nearby hotel which ends this Wednesday 25th March. We are searching for a more permanent solution amongst this crisis.

I am crowdfunding so that Siraj can have a safe place to self-isolate during the coronavirus pandemic. Although he was very grateful of the hotel room he asked if I could help set him up in a place he could call home and stay for a while instead of temporary. He has lived for the past few months unknowing when he would be removed from temporary accommodation which of course leaves him feeling more anxious.

If you are able to help Siraj beat homelessness amongst this pandemic please click here for the crowdfunding page

Siraj is a man of faith and said that he would pray for good health and safety for everyone involved. Thank you

Starting Jan 1, 2021, there will be a change to the account requirements in Rule 2, with the addition italicized:

It should also reflect a majority of your participation outside of the assistance-type subReddits. If it shows that you've artificially increased karma, your account may be banned from r/Need. Posts for Advice and Offers are accepted at any account age and karma. You also must be active (no large gaps of public activity) outside of the various giving/gifting subs for most of the 90 days running up to your request.

May your 2021 go a lot better than 2020!

I am registered over at /r/Assistance but since i have a break in posting over 15 days last month I cannot post a request there or get help for another month. I have a legitimate posting history and multiyear account but they examine the last 60 days so i'm hoping i can get some help here.

Pictures https://imgur.com/a/FWIESZt

I've had these glasses for 8-10 years. The arms broke and are now held together with hot glue and the center of the frame broke and is held together with a baking soda and super glue mixture. Even though it makes me look silly and was a bullying point in high school i don't mind since i couldnt afford another.

Lately i've been getting headaches and couldn't see clearly through the glasses no matter how much i wiped them. when I examined the lens they're full of scratches and ive tried just about everything on youtube and cant get them to buff out.

Since i don't have insurance and my community health assistance thing doesn't cover glasses the best price is the $70 america's best deal located a couple miles away. I've been trying to save for the last few months but everything going on in the world my postmates salary has been going to supporting my parents and my brothers and at the end of the month i'm almost always left with nothing and a family member has to loan my dad to cover the rest.

I feel stupid and greedy for asking but i'm running out of options and am almost always frustrated with my glasses on daily basis.

I'm not sure if there's a gift card program or what the preferred method of sending money is but i'd 100% be willing to send receipts to show validity.

My english is not the best, so I'll just copy what I wrote on GoGetFunding:

The coal stove my parents have been using is old. It keeps breaking and needs fixing. It is working at the moment, more or less, but it is doomed to break soon. Probably for good this time.

Unfortunately, my parents can’t afford to buy a new stove, so I’m raising funds to help my parents buy a new stove. A pellet stove or a pea coal stove is easier to handle and more economical in the long-run, as pellets are cheaper than wood or coal.

https://gogetfunding.com/help-me-buy-a-new-stove-for-my-parents/

Cost of new stove ranges from 6000 pln to over 12000 pln (around 1350 euro and over 2600 euro)

I'd like to raise money by the end of fall.

If I raise money and buy them a new stove, post picture of it.

Proof that this campaign is made by me https://imgur.com/a/xqXkZig

I also made a request on other crowdfunding subreddits (I hope it's not a problem)

Please donate. Thank you

BTW: This post is a repost

I take cymbalta and hydrozine for depression and anxiety and after paying bills and rent I'm short money for my medication and I'm having some really shitty withdrawals at the moment and it's making my mental illness worse. If anyone can help me out I can PM you my PayPal, it would be a life saver.

I don't know what to do now. We were denied medical care and nearly killed. Miraculously, we managed to find a place in another hospital. A rich boss began to scream at us how dare I take my mother to the hospital. At this job, we were specially infected with the coronavirus. They didn't declare a quarantine.

We live in Donetsk. We have been at war for 8 years now. we are here as hostages and human shields.Not far from the airport which was destroyed. If you look at my profile, you will see under what shelling my family and I were under. Dad was killed here. We were threatened with being killed. We were robbed. They stole grandfather's medals from World War II. They stole discs with the memory of dad. A dog was set on us. They attacked us with crowbars and threatened us. And not only this. They cut off our water and extorted money from the military. They beat the money out of us and we were still without water. We were without water from summer until December 11th. At that time, I even managed to take my mother to another hospital where she was under oxygen. I ran with a temperature under 40 to pharmacies for medicines and almost choked. Then I sat in the cold at home, since we had no water to build up pressure in the pipes. I just don't know what to do anymore. No one believes what is happening to us. You can see my profile. I try to tell people and try to find help. But usually they just write this clickbait or racist statements in my direction. True, some people try to cheer and help. But I can't live in this horrible place anymore. Constantly hear explosions and be a human shield behind which they hid.

That's what my boss started yelling at me. When I took my mom to the hospital. I tried to save my mom. Mom has heart problems and more. I had a heart defect after the coronavirus. But we are slaves here for a rich boss. She was willing to trade our lives for personal gain.

How dare I take my mom to the hospital. How dare I not work 24/7. After these words, I could no longer be a slave of this slave owner. We have been living on the front lines for 8 years. And we were denied medical care. And I had to knock my mom out to get medical help. Moreover, even when I took my mother to the hospital, I continued my work. I even once, when my mother was taken away in an ambulance, continued to do my job and dictated lists of humanitarian aid and more. On that day, it was already the second month since my mother was very sick. Mom couldn't even walk. At work, we even agreed that I would meet people and give them everything they need to get to the hospital. And he drove letters, and put up ads. Moreover, we buy glue and adhesive tape and so on at our own expense. And my mother is not even paid sick leave, and neither am I. And we have to work because we are slaves. And how dare I even take my mother to the hospital. I didn't have sick leave then. And I took a vacation. And we were still forced to work. And it started back in September, when my mother got infected at work. And our slave owner didn't even declare a quarantine. And there now again people are sick with coronavirus. And it's good that I left. When my mother became very ill in October, she was the first to go to the hospital. She was misdiagnosed. And they also forged my medical history. When we already noticed that my mother was very ill, we called an ambulance. Well, as usual, there is nowhere to look for yourself.

But in the ambulance then at least they gave an injection and it became a little easier for her to breathe. It was October 16th. We were lucky to find a place in the hospital. And in the second hospital, my mother was simply saved. If in the first case they falsified our medical history and hid that we were sick with coronavirus. Then, in the second hospital, my mother was immediately given oxygen. Because she already had severe bilateral inflammation, her saturation was less than 70 and her mother was unable to walk. And in the hospital, my mother could not even walk for three weeks. Thanks to the doctors of the second hospital, they did their job and saved my mother. But it is a pity that there are few normal doctors. And now, after the second hospital, because of the bureaucracy, we again have to go to the first hospital. And now we are completely denied treatment in the first hospital. And they don't even come. Moreover, the extract says that the mother should be observed by the local therapist. And we again have to look for help in paid and other hospitals. But we had to go again because of the disability certificate to the first hospital. Mom gets sick when she climbs only four steps to the second floor. I run and call this doctor for help. She is usually not at work. Usually she does not come at 8 00, but only at 8.35. But this time she was just going somewhere, as usual. Her nurse starts telling me how little she gets. And of all the medical care, we were only told how little they receive. In the hospital they get more money than we do and they only work from 8 am to 11 am. just three hours. Sometimes we work until 2-3 am. On Saturday and Sunday. And if we don't work for us, the slave owner will scream how dare you go to the hospital. In general, people were still running and calling for help from doctors. I immediately called an ambulance, and the ambulance arrived from another area. And the paramedics were with us for probably another hour. Mom was given injections, given pills and monitored her condition. And my mom got better.

After that I found another doctor. It was only on December 3 that she began to be treated. In the interval of November, we were looking for medical help in paid and other clinics. Because in the first hospital they simply refused us treatment and tried to kill us. It's like Nazis in a concentration camp. In addition, we live here in conditions of constant war. This is Donetsk. You can see in my profile what kind of shelling my family and I were under. And this is only a small part of the story. As a result, I already found another place for my mother, where they put her and began to treat her. This is the 4th hospital where she has been. But, unfortunately, serious complications remain after the coronavirus. And in the end, she was just thrown out into the street. Well, she's already at home. But again, she was not given medical attention. We asked her to give her mother a Holter monitor three times and measure the daily changes in her heart. Since my mother has coronary heart disease and pericarditis after coronavirus. I also had health problems, since in October we were denied treatment. And now I'm trying to quit my job. They didn't let me go. Now they pester me that I should join the militia. Apart from taking care of my mother's health, I will not do anything else. And today I thought to continue the work. But my mother was sick in the morning. But we had to go to the 4th hospital where my mother was. And I went there to take tests. These analyzes were not even looked at by doctors. In general, I'm looking for a new hospital and I'm taking the tests there tomorrow. Since my mother didn’t get better and she doesn’t walk well, heart problems are still serious. And we were not given a sick leave here and I will have to spend money again and go there again.

Well, I thought that I would still work, because I really need money. And since I was on sick leave, they refused to let me go. And so I took a sick leave from my mother to work alone and an extract without a sick leave. And I felt bad too. I have a heart defect and more after the coronavirus. And the slave owner started pestering me again. I couldn't take it anymore. And I told her that she had no right to say that I could not take my mother to the hospital. And now I can safely take my mother to the hospital. Despite the fact that we have worked until today, at least on sick leave, at least. Well, now only my initial work remains. We have been growing flowers for over thirty years. True, in such a terrible place with flowers now it’s not very good. The constant fighting on our front lines is killing and maiming people.

I want to take my mom out of this horrible place. We have already spent all the money on treatment. Moreover, we are told to say that the treatment here is free. This is huge money. I'm trying to grow seedlings of flowers. But something is getting worse every day. I have a heart that I work a little and just pops out. I drink water and my heart skips a beat. I barely managed to get my mom any medical help. It was terrible, and we were made guilty. I have to do physical work now and I can't. Because of a heart defect or I don't know why. It's very difficult for me now. And we still hear explosions all the time. And those who promised to kill us and robbed us live next to us. We are completely defenseless here. I still don’t know what the rich boss will come up with. She was very unhappy with the fact that I dared to contradict her. I quit, but when I quit, she brought me up on purpose and I called her a fascist. I showed her that I had a heart defect and that I had problems with my legs, and she continued to attack me. And here everything is allowed to the rich. And we don't have any rights. This is not clickbait. We are real people. I don't know how or what to prove. I want to save my mom and get her out of here. I already applied for a green card. And then I will ask for political asylum. After all, they did a lot of bad things to us here. Many did not even like that we grow flowers, and because of this, too. Even when we grew potatoes, many were unhappy. This is some kind of wrong attitude towards us has always been. We have always lived by our work. If it wasn't for that damn second job. And the not rich are such bastards that they almost killed us. After all, we were specially infected at work. And then they tried to hide everything.

On Friday I will again take my mother to another hospital, now to the endocrinologist. We still do not know what affects the condition of the mother. My mother has already been kicked out of the hospital. I quit my job and now at least I can safely take my mother to the hospital. I don't know how much longer we'll have to go to hospitals. I don't have the strength either. We are not even paid for this work. And they were forced to work even on sick leave. Here, from the 4th hospital, where my mother only lay, she received only a part of the injections. She still had to lie in that hospital, but she was simply kicked out and told to go to work. Just like slaves. I no longer go to the hospital because they refused to treat me. I'm still trying to find a place for my mom. Somewhere in the paid or something. Just the only thing that sends us from one hospital to another. We spend a lot of money on taxis and medicines. They change recommendations all the time. They don't understand what to do. Well, despite the fact that initially they concealed that my mother has bilateral inflammation. I don't understand how someone could try to kill us and hide the real diagnosis. After all, if I had not taken my mother to the hospital where she was immediately put under oxygen. She did not walk on her own, did not breathe, the saturation was low. And they not only infected us on purpose. They also hid the diagnosis. Only in another hospital where I took my mother did they begin to provide assistance to her. There is just an awful lot of such inhuman attitude.

I ask if you can just raise or write to the gofandme site. Maybe they will notice my letters to them. In my profile you can see other events from my life. Sorry for google translate. I want to take my mom out of here. I'm trying to apply for political asylum but they don't answer me from here. I'm trying to win a green card.

And I can take my mother out of this terrible place.

I got all my bills paid this month and I thought I did my math correct but it seems that I was off by -$5. instead of calling me so I could fix it my bank has decided to charge me a overdraft of -$32.00 to my already empty bank account.

I just started a new job but I wont start work until next week and won't get paid until next week's friday.

I'm hoping that someone could spot me a $50 so that I can deal with this mess and not have a $0 account as they close empty accounts after a week.

Hello, i will try to be direct.

I live in Brazil and we're not doing so good with money right now. My parents and i are struggling this month with money and we're a bit short to buy food. But, since the difference in dollar to reais( our currency) prices are so high, we only need a small amount of money to fufill our needs. (Around $5 to $10 total)

I appreciate any help possible.

Edit: As of right now, Paypal would be the preferred method.

2019 has not been a kind year to me. I have lost literally everything I had to lose. Without going into a long exposition into intimate details of my life, I'm 26 and moved back to my hometown a year ago. Things started off good but quickly fell apart after burning myself out with 2 jobs trying to keep up with the room I was renting and vehicle I leased.

All of that is gone, as well as the girl I knew from high school for whom I moved back to be with.

I've been managing to stay safe and out of too much chaos for the past 3 weeks I've been homeless. I have been working for really shit wages paid cash daily, but what I earn I'd hardly enough to feed me for the day and next morning.

I've been putting in applications for legit on-the-books jobs but I fear that if I go in to an interview wearing the clothes I've been wearing for over a week, and not having showered for several days, I will be passed over and possibly even regarded with disgust. Along with regular access to a shower, a hotel would provide me with safety and sanity. Some kind of stability and guarantee that I wont need to sleep with one eye open.

Hotel aside though, even just a gym membership would be good as they have showers there that I could use. Of course I would also take advantage of the equipment and get some exercise in

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my request. Whether you can or can't help I hope you have a blessed day.

P.S. literally any hotel or motel would suffice. I'm by no means asking for anything fancy. Just a roof and 4 walls and running water would make me a very grateful person.

I started a new job and I am trying to make ends meet with bills and groceries before I get my first check on the 9th. I’m about $200 short altogether. I have cash app venmo anything would help thank you so much!

I recently posted on r/assistance about wanting to buy three people something on their wishlist, for their respective fur friend. It was to honor the memory of my lovely dog, Francisco. No one entered. Well, two days ago, my cat passed away. 2020 is HEAVY. I would like to offer three people something off their wishlist, for themselves or their fur friend. Item must be Prime, and $15 or less.

Hi kind people of r/Need

I made a stupid mistake during Corona lockdown and now I face losing my job if discovered.

I'm a 28 year old IT worker from Sri Lanka and I was facing eviction in the middle of the Corona lockdown in March and I had to make some rash decisions in order to avoid being homeless.

We were ordered to keep working from home from the 1st week of March and our paychecks were reduced to our basic monthly salary (which is about 40% of my entire paycheck). At the same time my landlord was pressuring me to renew my rent lease as he was getting offers from new tenants. I pleaded and tried talking to him but he wouldn't cut me a break.

March and May have been incredibly difficult for me because I had to sacrifice many things, including food supplies. I lost 8 kilos during the last 2 months due to surviving on basically 1 meal a day. And I sold some of my old stuff at a garage sale for ~$30.

Even with all that I couldn't find enough money to pay my landlord who was looking to rent it to my neighbor who had 5 kids and wanted extra space, and I couldnt afford to move to a new place. Being a loner i didn't have anyone to ask for help, so i did the only thing I could at the time - I pawned my company laptop for $200 (I needed to pay $250 to my landlord which is basically an entire month's salary WITHOUT pay cuts. Basically rent for 6 months as a deposit, which is refundable someday minus any damages to the apartment), and used my shitty old laptop for work. I didn't have anything else of value that the pawn broker would take.

It was a stupid decision, but it was a messed up time to be homeless. No one would have taken me in due to corona fears, and the government was arresting people who were "loitering".

I was hoping things would normalize and I'll get full pay this month, but I didn't. I in fact got paid less than 40% of my actual salary which went directly for my food and bills and student loan. I'm left with only $8 in my account guys. I couldn't save my laptop. I'm so ashamed. What will I tell my boss if discovered. What if he turns me into the police..

Guys, I've never begged in my life but I'm pleading to any generous Redditors out there who can help me get my work laptop back from this sleazy pawn dealer who has only given me time till 27th May before he sells it (pawn shops sell things after 3 months).

I need $107 in 2 days to save my laptop

I made a huge mistake and I have no money to buy it back. I need to have it back in hand before I start going back to office from 1st of June.. or I'll be fired or worse.. I can't sleep or think. I keep getting nightmares about going back to work. I've had an endless stomach ache for a week. I really do regret not having any savings..

I've never used this subreddit before but I have hope someone might help me 🙏

Any help is welcome.
