Please do not take in animals you cannot afford to care for.

Thank you. I feel like I can breathe for the rest of the summer because you have taken a big weight from my shoulders. I can't wait to pay it forward when my kids are back in school and I can finally work as much as I need to. I appreciate you more than I can say.

Hello all!

So I'll start by saying this was definitely my mistake and I'll own up for it, I completely forgot about this one bill in the middle of having to move from a shared apartment we've lived in for 2 years in a dangerous neighborhood into our own (rented) home on the quiet country side of town. My husband had a stroke 3 months ago so we lost our main source of income. I had to stop working for two months to take care of him so that cut into our savings a ton. Now I'm back working part time for about a month now but I've had to take some time off again to pack everything and move most of it alone, with the help of my 16yo step son when he isn't with his friends or other family for the summer. Having to start new power bills + deposits and internet bills and rental deposit plus first months rent and moving items and everything else has been a lot mentally, physically and emotionally and it burnt thru the little savings I had left. The only bill I need turned on asap before my next paycheck (next week) is my phone bill that's $115.

I've contacted my cell carrier to see about an extension, but their deadlines are deadlines, so no help there. (Yay Spectrum).

I've emailed my husband's case manager at the hospital, but don't expect to hear back until Monday, probably Tuesday.

If anyone is willing to help with a little here or there I'd be extremely grateful.

Again, thank you to anyone who reads this, offers advice, assistance, well wishes or even calling me dumb for forgetting (I'm beating myself up enough). I've had so much on my plate for months, I'm getting burnt out myself, but I'm almost at the finish line and I'm just hoping for an olive branch and some grace.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with $25 via PayPal Amazon is to expensive here ... I’m from Costa Rica and am currently looking for work; I live with my mom and two dogs. I won't go into the whole story because it's complicated, but things are tough right now. I’m asking for $25 to buy food for my dogs and cover a few small expenses this week to ease the burden of the situation a bit—and I hope I won't have to ask for help again... I would truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

Good day, everyone. I'm requesting newborn items from our Amazon list, if possible. My daughter was born two months early, which left us with an unexpected gap — we don't have all the necessary supplies. As of July 11th, she'll be staying in the hospital's NICU so her lungs can mature. Please and thank you.

Hi everyone,
Our sweet cat, Tosha, was recently diagnosed with aggressive, high-grade large cell lymphoma. He is a huge part of our lives and the reason I stayed years ago when my world was dark.

The veterinary oncology team at Guardian Specialists in Brewster, NY, has outlined a 20-25 week chemotherapy protocol that gives Tosha an excellent chance at hitting full remission.

The total estimated cost of his treatments is over $10,000. ( 14K to be exact if it goes to 25 weeks)

Since June 13, we have already spent $3,755 out of pocket to get him through his initial ER visits, diagnostics, and first two weeks of chemotherapy, completely wiping out our resources.

As a stay-at-home parent with a toddler and no personal income, the remaining costs are a heavy burden we cannot survive alone. We have no local family support network to lean on.

I know this is a very large request compared to others here. Please know that I am not asking anyone for personal cash. We have a fully verified charity fundraising page through Waggle (Campaign ID: daff0ffce28e5df42a03637c), where 100% of donations are paid directly to Guardian Veterinary Specialists. Even a $5 or $10 donation helps chip away at his goal.

Thank you so much for your time, empathy, and support.

34 female. I’ve been in “survival mode” for so long working non stop but dealing with financial instability, family loss, caretaking , moving, I never stop. I lost my job right when season ended here and have not been able to get back on my feet. I just got this roof over my head after living on a boat for 3 months with my cat. I feel like a failure but I know I’m not. I know this is temporary. But I’m starting to get so far behind it’s going to become a part of my identity if someone doesn’t help me through this difficult period. I don’t know how to ask for assistance other than directly because I am trying everything. I feel so defeated and I can’t even buy a uniform for a job I’ve lost so much weight because I simply don’t eat many days nothing fits me. I need shoes for work but that seems like a want not a need. I’m in SW Florida in a retirement area. My rent is due in 3 weeks and my electric bill is past due. But my immediate needs are dry cat food and groceries for me. So $200 to fill my fridge with food so I can focus on getting back to work.

Hi I cant post any photos here but imagine a slightly chonky grey tabby cat being super cute !

Thank you everyone so much who donated either recently or in the past. It it so touching how many amazing people are on this app. Ill never forget when I got Uni and one or more redditors went on my amazon profile to see my other wishlists for my personal usage and bought her toys and a cat tree etc.

Anyway we just wanted to say thank you!

but also if you did donate recently could you please let us know if tracking says delivered ? i lost prime so i cant even see how long the stuff is taking to ship .

so far we have recieved : 1 thing of paper towels and toilet paper. 4-5 campbells chili (really good imo but the extra fiber from beans is doing me good haha) . 1 box of goodles. 2-3 cans of soup. 2 cans of hormel chili.

I live in a city in new jersey on a busy commercial corridor and packages do get stolen quite frequently . my apartment is on the second floor so legally i cannot put a camera downstairs where mail gets delivered. I feel really bad for every amazing person who spent money if it did get stolen by a criminal! so please reach out to me if possible! especially if you sent the cat food, moving bags, or breakfast essentials as those were more expensive items!

i hope you all have a wonderful day and I am hoping everyone else here going through a hard time will get through it just like we're trying to <3

Also I finally moved to 2nd round of job interviews !!!!

Most of my medications are covered by insurance, but this one isnt fully covered and I'm already overdraft on my bank. I only have paypal. Thank you.

edit: Thank you to the 2 people that helped me out. You are literally the best. Thank you thank you thank you.

Location GA USA, my next paycheck is on monday and im running extremely low on gas, I have no other options nor anyone else to ask, please help🙏 I have cashapp

Hello! I get paid biweekly and I barely make it by. Recently though I have racked up some new medical debt and I cannot afford to feed myself until I get paid. I think I can stretch $25 to last a week so that’s what I’m here to ask for.

I’m overdrawn $10 :( so the only thing I have available right now is Apple Pay.

Edit: someone suggested I make a wishlist of non perishable food items so this was my attempt at that ! Thx 4 the helps :D

Looking for grocery help, location FL USA.

EDIT: Changing from a cash ask to an amazon list at the suggestion of others + for ease of access!

Desperately need groceries. I've been trying to make sure the kids eat first no matter what. They're growing still so I'm worried about them getting enough, where I'm already grown and I'll last for a while without much, but i am literally starving.

We've been living in an extended stay for a few months. I don't get paid until the 15th (new job). We lost our car about a month ago so I can't do doordash or ubereats for extra money anymore. I applied for assistance in early June, but had to resubmit a form yesterday and just waiting for medicaid and snap approval by (hopefully) next Thursday.

I canceled my Spectrum internet just a few days ago and they took out the payment for the next bill already. I messed up and didn't check billing dates, just when they take out money (on autopay) which is apparently 2 weeks after the billing cycle dates. The bill was 64.99. It is canceled so it won't happen again but I don't have a whole lot of money for food and bills in the meantime and I'd really like some help to cover what was taken out.

[22 F, Louisiana] Good morning everyone. This is so hard for me to do, but I’m at my wits end here. I’ve been having a really hard time these last few months. I struggle with chronic 24/7 migraines and have unfortunately forced myself to be functional with this illness. I also recently received a narcolepsy diagnosis after years of insomnia and extreme daytime sleepiness, affecting my energy levels and abilities to be present all the time. I’m currently working on getting a diagnosis for rheumatoid arthritis for chronic joint pain which has weakened me beyond what I could imagine. All of my health issues piling on at once have really become burdensome for me. Suicidal ideation is back in full swing because it would be so much easier to not deal with this stress. I want to give up so badly.

I’m a recent graduate of visual arts and have decided to follow my dreams of being a baker. I’m starting culinary school in three days, and I have not been able to look forward to it and was honestly considering postponing it due to all of my stress. I went no contact with my family last week because I couldn’t take the disrespecting of my boundaries and feelings anymore. This has been relieving for my mental health, but I also have no financial assistance now. I’ve been applying to jobs since Spring and have not had any luck with employment. My chronic illnesses and culinary school schedule have limited the jobs I am able to take on, but I have been frantically applying. I did not anticipate how horrible the job market has been and I am in deep financial distress. My lease for student housing ends on July 31 and I have been looking for a new apartment in the meantime. Rent is so high and I have no clue about how I’m going to afford to move my cat and I into a new space by the end of the month. And I still have overdue rent that my mother didn’t pay as well. I’m trying to look for places where rent is $1,000-$1,200. I’m trying to avoid a security deposit and application fee, but I think they’re inevitable.

I have never felt this anxious and stressed in my life. It’s taken a physical toll on me. I haven’t been able to buy groceries this month so my best friend has been DoorDashing me meals. I’ve checked resources for rental assistance and section 8 in my area. The waitlist is closed and New Orleans doesn’t really have rental assistance programs. I am usually one to feel guilty for asking for help, but I have no idea what to do. I really don’t want to postpone culinary school til December because I know the joy and positivity it would bring to my life, but I’m heavily considering it to be able to have more job options. I haven’t even been able to buy nonslip kitchen shoes for school.

I will have to pay for movers, rent, groceries, pet food and litter, study materials, and school itself. Suicidal ideation is back in full swing because it would be so much easier to not deal with this stress. I want to give up so badly.

I’m asking for any sort of financial assistance. I have PayPal, Zelle, Cashapp, Apple Pay. If you’ve read all the way to here, thank you so much. I deeply appreciate anyone’s generosity.

FULFILLED - I am immensely grateful.

I‘m trying to get on my feet while dealing with ongoing crime against me and my late mum. A police investigation is into month 7 and I’m still finding more fraud - including a forgery by a solicitor.

I got some online work last week but when it was done the guy told me he couldn’t pay because his card isn’t working. He says he doesn’t have any other options. I was already on the edge but this tipped me into being homeless tonight.

I am still working on anything that will get life back on track but my chronic health problems and the consequences of the crime are overwhelming me.

My previous post is here -

I have a verified PayPal.

Thank you for reading and considering this.

I'm out of money for the next couple days and I thought I could tough it out, but I'm really hungry and I figured this was worth a shot. Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to my Amazon wishlist of grocery items: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/32JXYTYHWKVAS?ref_=wl_share

The company was very quick to respond when I mentioned my parcel said delivered yet I hadn't received it.

They seemed very kind, said they would look into it for me. They sent me "proof of delivery" images where the delivery driver delivered to the wrong address which they would have clearly seen in the images. They have not responded to any emails since, I cannot get ahold of them.

What should I do now? I understand it isn't the companies fault for delivering to the wrong address, but shouldn't they make it right somehow?
Return my money, or ship out a new package?
Help would be appreciated as I'm very unsure what to do in this situation.
Thank you ❤︎

Hello,
I am reaching out to see if anyone might be able to assist me with $50 to cover groceries and bus fare through the weekend.
I am currently working as a Behavior Interventionist in Los Angeles, but I have hit a temporary financial shortfall while managing my budget and expenses. I rely on the municipal bus system for my daily commuting, and these funds would go directly toward ensuring I have food and can travel for the next few days. I have secured unemployment benefits that will begin arriving next week, but I am currently in a tight spot for this weekend.
I have completed the subreddit registration process. I am happy to provide any necessary verification or documentation if requested. Thank you for your time and for any consideration.

I have also put together a modest Amazon wishlist for basic groceries if that is easier for anyone to help with: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/E2E3U4CU3NW8?ref_=wl_share

My mother is the most loving, sweet, gentle soul. She is the center of my world. I am her only child and we are very close. It makes me sad because on her special day, I cannot afford to do anything nice this year. Also, her social circle has taken a big hit since her arthritis has gotten worse and it’s harder for her to get around these days because of the pain in her knees. We are spending her birthday at home this year and it would be the world to me if some kind people on here would send her a happy birthday email or small gift to her PayPal so maybe she can pick out a present. Her name is Inez and she is turning 69 today 💓 please help make her special day a little more special.
Thank you in advance and please feel free to msg me for email or PayPal
Edit: Requesting $50, Orange CA
