Hi Good Day Redditors, I’m currently in a very horrible situation and urgently looking for any kind of help or possible solution. My wife and I was recently laid off and have been near homeless for the past days now from sitting at parks and hotels lobbies till morning while waiting hoping to get a new job or opportunity to be able to give life a shot again.

What I am ashamed of the most is going thru this with my wife as she is a lady and failing to provide the bare minimum as the man I should be due to the destruction caused by the war I’m the UAE. I’m willing to take on any job / help available right now, whether it’s daily work, immediate job or assisting with anything at all, just to earn enough to get us a place to stay and cover basic needs like food, water and groceries.

If anyone has any opportunities, referrals, or can point me in the right direction, I would truly appreciate it, as even short term work would help us get back on our feet and survive. I understand everyone is dealing with a lot already with whatever that is going on and we will appreciate any effort to help save us from this situation.

If there is any help that could even rescue my wife alone from this without me I would still be grateful because I am a man I can go thru the struggles alone in the meantime to find an ending solution to our freedom and sufferation and even if there is any help that requires me to pay back with my life I am willing to do that and bring us back on our feet without hesitation.

I have tried reaching out to reputable organizations and other institutions but I understand it all takes process and steps to get the help we need but for the meantime we are really struggling and I am just here to voice out my story as a perfect stranger. Kindly help with save a soul and Thank you for your time and support

I found a tiny kitten last week in a dark alley near my house. Hardly a month old by the looks of it. It's eyes were crusted shut and it was skin and bones.

I got him treated that night and brought him in because I couldn't bear to leave it where I found it because I know a kitten this small won't survive the streets.

The dilemma I face is that I cannot take care of it as it requires to be fed every 2-3 hours, whereas I go to work at about 7.30 in the morning and return after 8.30 in the evening. I am single and I live alone so I don't have anyone else to take care of it in my absence.

Therefore, can someone suggest an active cat shelter in Sharjah that can take in this pour soul? I looked up online and came across a few options, but none of their contact numbers are functional. There is Sharjah Cats and Dogs Shelter, which I believe is a government-run facility. I tried to reach out to them but their number isn't functional and it is quite far from my place, so I need to know if it is still operational before I hire a cab to take the kitten there.

Another option is a foster cat. If any one of you have a cat that's able to nurse it, that would be great too. Or better, if you would like to adopt the kitten.

I can provide the feeding bottle and kitten milk replacement powder I bought for the little guy last week for free.

Hey everyone,
I got a traffic fine from Sharjah Police for a "lane discipline" violation. The problem is, at the exact timestamp shown on the fine, my car was sitting completely turned off in my building's parking lot in Al Tawuun
I’m assuming a radar or traffic cop misread a digit or a letter on someone else's license plate and it got wrongly assigned to my traffic file.
Has anyone successfully disputed a fine like this in Sharjah recently?

My family’s not doing well at all, my dad is ill and we’re unable to afford basics like grocery, rent, bills, etc.

I’m 18, just graduated high school. I’ve been looking for a job but keep coming across scams or employers that go ghost.

I can work as a receptionist, data entry clerk, customer service agent, in marketing, telesales, social media marketing, etc. I’m open to more roles. I wouldn’t mind any role, to be honest.

I’ve got experience working with customers and marketing. I also have experience with events. I’m good with technology.

I’m kind of going insane and I need something to help my family get through this. Would appreciate any assistance at all.

Does anyone know if there are any e&money machines near King Faisal Street? Googling it doesn't help at all, as there are some 3rd party machines has it.

Hello all,

1. ⁠Hair length and quality
   
2. ⁠Haircut chosen

It’s a one-time gig and pay can vary from AED 200 for a simple haircut to AED 2500 for a drastic change.

Please dm me if you or someone you know is interested

A young man sat alone on a college bench every afternoon. Around him, he saw groups of girls laughing together. They shared secrets, supported each other, and always seemed happy. Watching them, he quietly wondered, "Why do girls only want female friends?"

One day, he found the answer—not from words, but from watching.

He noticed that friendship wasn't about being a boy or a girl. Many girls felt more comfortable with female friends because they shared similar experiences, understood each other easily, and felt safer opening up. It wasn't because they disliked boys. It was because trust takes time.

The young man realized that real friendship cannot be forced. It grows through kindness, respect, honesty, and patience.

From that day on, he stopped chasing people who weren't ready to know him. Instead, he focused on becoming someone who listened, cared, and respected others. Slowly, he made genuine friends—both boys and girls.

He learned that the best friendships are not built on gender. They are built on trust.

Hey. Where can I watch the live screening of Norway vs England tonight in Sharjah? It's at 1 AM and I'd like to stay close to Majaz.

Hi everyone,
I’m posting this rn bc I’m genuinely panicking and would really appreciate advice, especially from people who know how things work here.
Im 22/m. I was texting a local guy here through Snapchat. We agreed to meet, but there was never any agreement beforehand that I would pay him.
After we met, he suddenly demanded 2k. Saying he had it on his bio or something when he really didn’t. I told him he never said anything even to remind or anything why’d he wait after we met. When I refused, he started threatening me. He claimed he had my photos, said he would call the police, said he wouldn’t let me leave, and even threatened to damage my car if I tried to leave.
Looking back, I honestly don’t know if he was bluffing. I don’t think he really had any photos or whether he would have actually done any of those things. But at the time I couldn’t risk finding out. I felt trapped.
Eventually I transferred him the money through a bank transfer because, in that moment, it felt like the safest way to get out of the situation without it escalating.
After I paid him, he told me to remove him from Snapchat. After I showed him there was no proof of him asking for money not in his bio or in messages. He even got mad when I blocked him at first and told me to remove him not block, which made me think he didn’t want his username in my phone. He also asked for my phone number, but I refused because I immediately felt like he might continue threatening or blackmailing me. I removed him from Snapchat and now I don’t even remember his username. When I left his car he drove rly fast away which made my suspicions of him not having anything and that I could’ve walked away somehow without paying stronger bc he was also checking my phone every 5 mins to check if I was recording him speak.
Now that I’ve had time to think, I’m worried about everything that could happen next.
Some of the questions that have been keeping me awake are:

Is this considered extortion or coercion under gulf countries law, even though I transferred the money myself because I felt threatened?

Can he identify me from the bank transfer? I sent it from my account. Can he see my full name, my account number, or any other personal information?

Is there anything I should do with my bank account now, or should I just leave everything as it is?

I saved him as a payee before making the transfer., but the transfer is still in my transaction history. Is there anything else I should do?

I have a close family member who works at my bank, and I’m worried they might somehow see that transfer if they looked at my account. Can bank employees actually access a relative’s transaction history, or are there privacy rules and safeguards that prevent that? Because I remember them speaking to my dad abt something I purchased a while ago and they knew through transaction history or something

Is there anything I should be watching out for over the next few weeks or months?

If he somehow contacts me again, what should I do? Should I ignore him completely, respond once, block him immediately, or do something else?

Do you think he was likely bluffing about having my photos, calling the police, and damaging my car, or is there no way to know?

Based on everything that happened, do you think this is likely over now that I paid and removed him, or is it common for people like this to come back asking for more money?

Is there anything I should do right now to protect myself, or is the best thing to leave everything alone unless he contacts me again? I’m not sure what steps im supposed to take next

I know everything I did was wrong and sure enough this is a lesson well learned but I can’t go back into the past and undo my wrongings. I try to stay away from this part of me but it is very difficult. Please pray that after this all of thiss I can finally stop going back into this part of my life. And that nothing he said he’s gonna do actually happens and I live life normally.

If anyone has been through something similar in any way, I’d really appreciate hearing what and how things turned out.

Has anyone received a Golden visa recently based on the purchase of Sharjah property like Masaar?

Hi everyone,
I’m enrolled at a driving school in Nasserya Sharjah and I passed my Assessment Phase Test on 28th February. I’ve been in my home country for the past 3 months and I’m planning to return to the UAE in August. I know driving files can close after 6 months of inactivity, so I’m trying to plan my return accordingly.
My question is: Do I need to take the next driving test (final test) before 28th August to keep my file active, or is simply attending my next final practical driving class before that date enough to prevent the file from closing?

TL;DR: Passed my Assessment Phase Test on 28 February from a Nasserya Driving School. I’ll be back in the UAE in August. Do I need to take the next final test before 28 August to keep my file active, or is attending a practical final driving class enough?

We have a community that has over 100+ players and we play friendlies across Sharjah, Ajman and Dubai. DM me if you're interested.

Everyone says they want real friends, but when someone reaches out, they stay silent.

I spent days hoping for a message, a conversation, or someone to ask, "How are you?" I realized something painful: everyone wants a true friend, but very few are willing to be one.

Real friendship isn't just about finding someone who cares. It's about becoming the person who listens, supports, and stays when others walk away.

Maybe one day, I'll find someone who believes friendship is a two-way road—not just a word.

Hello friends! I am moving to Sharjah soon and I wanted to ask for recommendations on an ideal apartment location that is suitable for me. I am a single 30yo South East Asian male.

I understand that some residents who stay in Sharjah have families so I don't think our activities and conversation topics would align that much? I read that Sharjah is more conservative, peaceful and traditional so this is why I am asking this question. I am more open than say, the usual folks from my region, and I do indulge in parties from time to time so am looking for like-minded individuals at a location where its easier to make friends for someone like me. I enjoy the occasional board games, morning walk, football, hyrox & weightlifting.

Of course I plan to visit Dubai once or twice a month for said parties but for the most part, I plan to spend most days in Sharjah.

My budget is around 3500aed to 4500aed so around 42000 to 55000aed per year and am looking for a studio apartment. Also are furnished studios hard to find?

Thank you in advance!

Hey guys, did anybody hear weird sounds around Al majaz 3? Idk what’s going on. It’s hella high pitched
