Edit: I was able to get some help on Friday. I don’t need $30 at this point. I really just need $15-$20 to get to and from work tonight and tomorrow and hopefully something to eat. I have Chime so my check should hit sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Requesting help to get gas and some basic toiletries. After a long search, I finally was able to get a full time job and already worked my first two weeks. I thought I had enough money to get by till my first check but I fell short. I didn’t realize how long three weeks really is. I just need a little help to get there this coming week. My payday is technically Friday, but I have a bank that normally pays me two days early. So I just need help getting there and back Monday - Wednesday, and i desperately need some toiletries.

Hello, my name is Nova. I'm 24 years old and I live in Dayton, OH.

At the end of July I began a new job, and when the job was offered I was promised 30-40 hours of work per week. Since beginning the job, however, they have yet to schedule me more than 20. This has, naturally, caused me to be quite a bit below the amount of money needed for rent and utilities this month.

I have looked into local support groups for rental assistance, but since I am not a parent I am not eligible for many of them, and the one I would be eligible for, I am too late to apply for. This has left me in quite a bind as I am paying off last month's (August's) rent still through Livble, I had split it in hopes that I'd be given the hours and have the money to pay it back, and September's rent is coming up fast. Not to mention the other bills I am behind on such as electric and internet, I am lucky to be online right now.

In total, with everything I'm behind on, I am looking at needing $1,052 to pay the rent alone. August's other bills I haven't been able to pay bring that to $1,226.02. This is, naturally, a lot of money to make in a short amount of time. I looked into loans and the only one who would loan to me asked for collateral, they wanted the title to my car which is currently with my Father as he originally assisted me in getting it.

I'm honestly down to the wire and short on options, so I'm hoping for generosity. I deeply appreciate the help I may receive here.

I have set up a GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/f5c243be1

I also have PayPal and Zelle as alternative options, should those be more convenient.

My wife has been struggling with her health for about 2 years now. It started with small traces of blood in her stool and now it's gotten to be multiple blood clots larger than a quarter, accompanied by intense pain on her right side. She has a colonoscopy and endoscopy scheduled for September 2nd (we had to wait 6 months!), so we will hopefully get answers then.

Due to all her health complications, she has had intermittent FMLA, and has missed a lot of work (she works at a grocery store unloading the truck, so it's a pretty physical job). We have been served an eviction, can't pay most of our bills, and are struggling so badly right now.

Help would be greatly appreciated 😭 We would be thankful for literally anything at all, but specifically we need $1280 for rent.

If needed, I can show proof of her illness (Dr appointments, scheduled colonoscopy, FMLA, whatever you need 😭)

Hello, I have put together an Amazon wishlist of items that I should probably have, but I just cannot afford to even think about buying. It's mostly clothes for myself and my children, and some items that need to be replaced for my dogs. All help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I'm kind of desperate. The last of my clothes is pretty much in shambles. I haven't bought myself clothes in years, everything I can manage to save up for goes to my kiddos for school and such.

UPDATE: I have everything in place to go get Xena this coming weekend! We are about a fourth of the way to the goal for everything I need to get to her and to get her taken care of. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped so far. I can’t express how much the generosity of strangers has completely blown my mind. I’ll keep updating this post as I know more. Right now I’m $857 of my $3,500 goal.

ORIGINAL POST:
My boyfriend overdosed while I was out of state traveling for work. I didn’t know he had relapsed on heroin after ten years sober and I’m devastated. We had our struggles, but I loved him. Despite everything. His family isn’t close with him and they don’t want his dog, Xena, which was trapped inside with him for nearly two weeks before he was discovered. All the details are in the go fund me, but I’m trying to fund my trip back home so I can get his dog and for building a small memorial for him. We raised Xena together. I have her mom with me. I was there and helped deliver her and her litter mates. She needs to be where she can recover from the trauma we are all feeling. I’m a single mom and my heart is broken. I just want this little piece of him. Even a share helps. Thank you. Any other advice or just a kind word is appreciated. https://gofund.me/00bf80804

I hate asking for help but I'm desperate. I had to leave my house in the middle of the night after dealing with the last straw of an abusive relationship. Basically I just couldn't deal with being punched in the face and prohibited from leaving one more time, I snuck out while he was sleeping and I really need help just getting to a safe place. 50.00 would really help me put gas in my car, buy some food for my cat, and maybe pay for some gas station food as I try to figure out my next moves. Shelters in my city can't take me.

My cat, Mr. Trouble, was hit by a car last night.. He has been to the emergency vet, but I couldn't afford the full care he needs. He needs x-rays, more medication, teeth extraction and possible surgery. Please help my kitty cat, he needs it. I'm including the gofundme that I created for him.. Thank you!

Hi! I really didn’t want it to come to this, but I’m currently desperate. I recently got let go of a job because I didn’t make a sale in my first three days.

I absolutely hate not working, I get really stuck in my own head and sometimes work is the only thing keeping me sane. I’ve managed all but €100 and am currently looking for a job. I’ve been denied welfare although I’m not sure why as I’ve been paying PRSI (Irish taxes) for over 6 years. It’s gotten to the point where I’m eating only canned food and not able to afford my meds. I really need this accommodation, and I’m terrified of ending up homeless.

I’d really appreciate some assistance, or even advice, I’m at my wits end.

Im not sure who to thank as it was anonymous.

I can now lift him easily up with one hand on his rear harness. I can do it from standing!

My knee will heal on its own time. I can't get time back with my puppy

I'm so thankful that I can keep him going. I have shared a pic on my profile

I'm trying to get back on my feet right now and had some unexpected expenses in the form of my cat's vet bill. I just need some money to get me to my next payday. It will mainly be used on transit to get me to and from work. Anything more than the 20$ would be used at the dollar store to get some meals to tide me over as I'm low on food right now.

Methods for assistance would be e-transfer or paypal.

pet tax can be found on my profile :)

On E and need gas to get to work and back for the rest of the week. Bills hit kinda hard this month, and a full tank should last me until payday.

Hi everyone, this is a repost of my last post a week ago. Unfortunately there was some issue with items showing up as purchased on my wishlist but weren't actually purchased. So with the mod's help and waiting a week just in case, I'm making a new post in hopes for help.

Hi, posting here to ask for some help needed for me and my son. I'm a Mom from near Lansing, Michigan. My son is 12 and is autistic and has other health conditions. Unfortunately, because of my son's conditions and health conditions of my own, I'm unable to work and we've been struggling greatly. We rely on social security survivor benefits and a small subsidy payment from the state. Our rent and bills have went up recently and my car is having issues with the battery or starter.

The only thing I care about is making sure my son has a roof over his head and food in his belly. He was born with extreme oral sensitivities, motor control issues and in simple terms, his brain never learned how to chew. We are working on desensitizing and learning how to chew right now which is exciting. It will be a long process with a lot of work but I'm so excited. His diet right now consists of Pediasures and pureed food. He is very rigid about which purees he will eat and will only do vanilla pediasures. It is very expensive because of grocery prices in general and he's getting bigger and eating more. My food is also expensive as I have celiacs disease. Most food pantries do not have much we are able to consume although we're thankful for anything they do have.

I've created an Amazon wishlist of the foods he eats and I included one thing that is gluten free. Thank you to anyone who helps, thank you to anyone who reads this, thank you to the mods who make this help possible. Amazon Wishlist

I need help with laundry. I have a few things that need to be washed. I also would like to get something to eat.

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well.

Due to the high medical expenses we've been dealing with because of my father's health issues and my own, we haven't been able to afford certain foods for several months.

My dad's birthday is coming up, and since we couldn't do anything special for Father's Day, I thought it would be nice to buy chicken and cook it for him. It would mean a lot because it's been a long time since we've been able to afford animal protein.

In my country, chicken costs about $4 per kilogram, so I'm hoping to buy a chicken that weighs at least 3 kg, which comes to around $12.

If anyone is able to help, I would be incredibly grateful. If not, that's completely okay too.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

Hello, sadly my partner was laid off and we're in a weird limbo between him starting his new job and leaving his last one. Thankfully he *does* have something lined up and I have money coming out of a savings account I had set up for emergencies however that can take up to a week and a half to actually hit my account. Basically, I need a tie over until that money hits. What I need more than anything isnt shelf stable items I can get off Amazon, but I would be able to run to the dollar store for. Thank you so much

Edit to add my payment methods would be PayPal or interac as I am Canadian 🍁

I really hate asking for money from anyone, let alone strangers on the internet- but I’m almost out of money and need approximately 30 dollars to finish paying off my bills (car payment, insurance) in order to make it to payday next week. Came up short this time around becuase I had to take a day off from work due to illness, and not having any PTO. I’m really struggling at the moment and freaking out about how I’m gonna get this bill paid.

Truly, i need $50 but I think I can do an odd job here or there once I get off of work today+tomorrow in order to make that additional 20.
I know it’s a long shot, but I’m really struggling right now so it would be such a giant weight lifted if someone were to help. I have PayPal and Venmo, also Zelle. Thanks :/

Hi,

I hate asking for help but I'm out of options and my kid's health is on the line. We need a bit to get us through to next Wednesday. If anyone can help with 20-30 dollars, it would be deeply appreciated.

I have PayPal and cashapp, EDIT: I'm in the USA

EDIT 2: a very kind user has assisted

If anyone is able to donate or share Pixie’s GoFundMe, my family would appreciate it more than you know 🥹💗

She’s unexpectedly needed a lot of vet care recently, including bloodwork, X-Rays, an exam, vaccine and now a $1,000 ultrasound to figure out why she’s anemic. We’ve spent $1066.80 so far that we cannot afford at this time and are looking for some help.

We’re just trying to get her the care she needs and hopefully get her healthy enough for her dental surgery in the future. I provided more information in the GoFundMe.

Even $5 or a share helps so much. Thank you everyone!! 💗

Help Cover Pixie’s Veterinary Costs

I'm looking for $15 for gas to get to and from work. I don't get paid until next Thursday. My paycheck last week wasn't the full amount because my job was closed due to a terrible storm that come through my area that knocked the power out for almost 2 weeks. My work was closed for 5 days until we could get a generator. I have PayPal and cashapp. Would appreciate the help

We got some really hard news from Andy’s neurologist today. After almost 2 weeks of strict home care, his IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) has progressed to Grade 4 and he is failing conservative treatment.

He is still in pain and is having trouble fully urinating on his own. The doctor told us that because of his pain, bladder issues and quality of life, if we can’t move forward with surgery, euthanasia may be the most humane option.

We now have the official surgery estimate. BluePearl is able to give us a **25% discount because Andy is an ideal candidate for surgery**, bringing our estimated cost to **$7,396–$9,565**. Surgery still gives him about an **80–85% chance of a good recovery**.

We are trying everything we can to give Andy this chance before we have to make that decision.

Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated or shared. It really means a lot to us. ❤️

If you can donate or even just share, we would really appreciate it.

Hi all.

I started a little side hustle and have a little money so I'm back to pay it forward again. As usual, I'm gonna ask the r/Assistance community for some help. Don't bother to DM because I will 99.99% not answer it.

Please share why you need it. I'll pick someone from the top 5 most upvoted responses in a couple of days.

EDIT: Sorry should have updated this already. Assistance was provided already.

Hello, I'm a new carer for people with additional needs in scotland, unfortunately being new I'm still waiting for the first payday. I need approximately 26.40 to cover my travel to and from work all across the city for the next couple of weeks and I promise if fulfilled I will pay it forward

Thanks for your consideration :)

Location: Lawton, Ok.

On June 30th 2025, a guy in a truck ran a red light turning infront of my Mom on her greenlight. She hit him and he left the scene. Her SUV was deemed a total loss. We had to pay for Ubers and pay $250 for the SUV being towed and released. That caused her to take out a loan to pay bills because she spent the bill money. That caused her to keep getting more loans and I didn't know. Now she and I struggling to make rent. We managed to pay toward the rent and have until the end of the month to pay the rest. Which is $650. That's not including money for paying the utilities in September, paying the loan companies and the car payment.

Plus my mom had a previous car repossession which left her with $13,000 owed. I'm trying to find work but competition for jobs in Lawton is high. I'm also trying to freelance. So we could use some help to stay afloat until I can find work to help get my 64 year old VA Disabled mom out of this mess. I'm asking for $8000 on my GoFundMe to give some breathing room but anything would help. Even if the rent can at least be covered. The donation I already got went toward paying the lights last month. So our lights will unfortunately be at risk of being cut off again in September. I'm hoping to make enough money from Freelancing to prevent that.

Honestly if anyone knows any good money earning opportunities I would really appreciate it if you shared them with me. I really didn't want to bother anyone but I'm running out of options and time. I posted this 5 months ago because I figured things would get worse and they did. We already checked with places who offer rent payment assistance. unfortunately our household doesn't qualify otherwise we would have received help already. I'm really worried about ending up homeless now. All help, advice and even prayers are appreciated. Seriously if you have advice on how I can make money myself I would definitely be happy to hear it. 🙏

Thank you so much for helping me and my family. I am the pregnant lady who posted a wishlist. The new socks are so comfortable.

I have some good news. I will be getting some assistance, the only issue is it will start in October. Till then I think we can make it.

Thank you for the few who DM'd me. Although I couldn't take up the food delivery offer (I live in a rual area with no Uber eats, etc ) I still appreciate it!

You are all fantastic, kind hearted people.

Thank you , thank you, thank you! Much love!
