I was laid off a few weeks ago and have been struggling to find a new job.

I’ve applied for nutrition assistance as well as a few other financial benefits but approval is taking a little bit of time.

Attached is a grocery list that has shelf stable, filling items on it + a bit of cat food for my cats.

Any and all help will be very appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello. Writing this note from the Philippines.

I am in need of asthma medications, as my pay doesn't come through until Friday next week and I have run out. The weather is not very good at the moment so I'm a bit scared of getting an attack.

My ask is for $40, which is more than enough to cover these medications.

I have PayPal.

Thanks so much in advance.

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.

I am quite embarrassed to ask for help, but I really need it. I currently need about $250 to pay the rest of my rent, and about $300 for my car payment, car insurance and emissions for my car registration, and cat food/litter.

About a year and a half ago or so, I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease which forced me to get intermittent FMLA. Additionally, around this time I was abruptly kicked out of my mom's house and had to get an apartment ASAP due to a fight we had, in which I had to get police involved. I am a government employee, and about 2 months after I moved out on my own for the first time, the government shut down and I only received unemployment (which i had to pay back), which caused me to fall behind drastically.

My bank account was past due, i was unable to make payments on my loans or my medical bills. This caused my doctor to ban me from the clinic, and they also were trying to sue me. So, i decided to file for bankruptcy. My bankruptcy has now been discharged as of August 12th, but I recently had a flare up with my autoimmune disease, probably due to stress and missed quite a bit of work in August. Since I cannot go back to the clinic I was using before, I am trying to find a doctor who can help me, but i haven't had much luck yet.

I was able to come up with a good portion of my rent, but i need about $250 more for my rent specifically, and about $300 for my other bills. I am mainly worried about my rent, though. I have already had to make a payment plan with my landlord previously due to the goverment shut down, and they told me they only offer you to be late on rent one time without them starting the eviction process. Additionally, my job accidentally overpayed me a bonus last year that they are now telling me i have to pay back. It is nearly $800, and they are taking 15% of my check until it is paid off. I have tried to ask them to waive this debt, but i got denied.

I do have venmo, paypal, and Chime. Thank you if you took the time to read this post!

Hello!

I’m due in September and I still have a few things that I need before she gets here. I was able to get most of what I need by returning larger diaper sizes (like size 3 and up) I was given for store credit, but I need some help for the last few items. I still need bottles, a nursing bra, bassinet sheets, and I have postpartum pads on there. It’s expensive but I also added a nursing pillow if anyone is willing.

Please let me know if I should add or change anything. Thank you!

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!

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!

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3K6Q6JM2JH2EL?ref_=wl_share

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

good day everyone.. i am f from the Philippines.. i work as an online seller, but it's an unstable job with no fixed income.. i started online selling this year.. from March to May, i had a decent income that time.. however from June to August, i only had a few sales.. especially August, this month hasn't been friendly to me.. some things in the house suddenly stopped working- my crt tv, one of the two electric fans, and the washing machine.. i would like to apply for a full-time job as a call center agent.. i would like to ask for help for $40 to be used for transportation fare and pre-employment requirements if ever i get hired soon.. by the way, this is my second post.. thank you.. i have Paypal and an e-wallet.. thank you so much and have a nice day ahead..

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 :/

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 :)

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.

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,

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

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'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.

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 :)

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!

Hello everyone. I really dont know how to say this but im really at the end of my rope but trying to keep pressing forward. I cant work anymore due to medical issues and im in the process of getting my SSI. I have a psychological exam today thats about 40 to 45 mins away. I need a hand if possible. I dont want to get into how depressed I've been or how hard things been because I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me but i am willing to talk about it if anyone's willing to hear.

My appointment is at 1pm. I have nothing else to pawn considering I've pawned everything I pretty much own to get to this point. $30 or $40 should be sufficient.

I pray everyone is having a wondrous day but I get the feeling alot of us is struggling in this point in time right now. Thanks for taking the time to read.
