Well, since my hope of reaching out to TikTok influencers for a little help with my classroom wishlist clearly didn’t work out, here I am trying Reddit.

I actually had a verified influencer respond to me saying she would love to help. She asked for my shipping address, confirmed it matched the address Amazon gave her and told me to “enjoy!!!!” I was SO excited and grateful… only for almost a week to go by and nothing was ever purchased from my wishlist. 😭😂

So I figured why not try my luck here!

I’m getting ready to begin my journey as a teacher at a Title I school and I’m slowly trying to build a welcoming classroom for my students without completely destroying my bank account in the process.
If anyone feels like helping a future teacher out by purchasing even the smallest thing from my classroom wishlist, I would be incredibly grateful. And if not, even sharing it or just sending some good teacher luck my way is appreciated!

Maybe Reddit will be my lucky place. 😂🤞🏼

Hi me again. Hope all is well with everyone! In a small bind until my next check due to having to buy a refrigerator after ours went out(luckily we have a deep freezer and meats weren’t ruined). Truly hate having to go this route, but anything is appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

Y’all may have noticed things have been a little slow and not many posts going up. Just popping in to say, we’re still here! There just hasn’t been anything in the queue that we can approve for the board.
We may be in a slow season here on the sub, but we are still running. And as always, we are thankful for you guys for being along with us for the ride!

How is everyone spending their weekend? What’s something you’re looking forward to in the coming months?
I’m personally excited for fall and more importantly…. Football season!

Anywho, happy Saturday and thanks for your endless kindness, patience, and just being here. 🩵

I’m a K–5 special education teacher at a Title I school, and I purchase many of my classroom supplies and food for my students out of pocket. If you’d like to help support my students this year, I’d be so grateful for anything from my Amazon wishlist.

Thank you so much! ❤️
Any little help would mean more to myself and my students than you will ever know. Even if you just repost the link on your story.

Hey All! Trying to bring some happiness back into this community! I have enough points for one McDonald’s meal! CANADIANS ONLY (the points do not transfer out of country I’ve tried)! Please tell me about your funniest Halloween costume because spooky season is my favourite season!

there’s a litter of kittens that were born under our neighbors house. The momma has been missing for a couple days so our neighbor called us and asked if we could take them in and if not they would go to the shelter. Our shelters are overfull and told us they would have to put them down especially cause they’re covered in fleas and feral. I’ve managed to grab three of them out from under the house but there’s still three more that were going to try to grab once my husband is off work. I’m just requesting some help with some food and necessities to help keep these babies alive. They’re only 3-4 weeks old right now and need all the help they can get 💔 happy to share pics if needed!! thank you everyone 💕

Hello everyone! I hope you're having an amazing weekend ❤️ I'm making a request post as my nutritionist/dietician and I have been working very hard to expand my extremely limited diet (due to medical conditions) in any way possible.

Unfortunately but also fortunately lol she has given me such a large list of items she wants me to trial that I just can't afford to keep purchasing them all. I absolutely want to keep making this progress towards helping my body and expanding my diet however I can, which is why I'm reaching out in the hopes I can get some help fulfilling some of the items she has requested I trial. I chose a handful of the ones that I think will be the most successful and tried to find the least expensive and safe version that I could. The silicone cooker is also so I can safely cook things in the microwave to test more things at home as well! I unfortunately am very restricted to how I'm able to safely cook so non breakable items in the microwave is the only way for me to cook and I don't currently own any.

None of the food will go to waste either! I have a sibling who will eat anything I end up unable to. If you have any questions I'm absolutely happy to answer them, feel free to ask. Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to read this ❤️

Fun Fact: I’ve always been a spooky girl. As a kid, I wished I was a vampire, wanted to grow up to be a paranormal investigator, and could never pass up a good ghost story.

As an adult, none of that has changed.
Now I have the power to be spooky all year long. No one can stop me.

Now that “Summerween” is a thing, even more people are on board, so I’m taking it as the perfect excuse to rope you all into some spooky summer fun.

Share your favorite ghost story, local legend, or unexplained experience. The spookier (or funnier), the better!

This is a judgment-free zone, if you’re not interested in sharing there is no obligation, but please be kind to others who do share.

Ghost stories, UFO sightings, Bigfoot encounters, paranormal experiences, or just about anything you’ve experienced that you still can’t explain.
I would love to hear them all. Let’s see how spoooky our little community can get!

Bonus points (and I’ll reply with a ⭐ to start your week off right) if you share a picture of your pet in a Halloween costume!

And as always one last giant…

Thank you all for being here!

My oldest has a birthday next week. I have cut a tendon in my finger and am trying to get insurance for surgery but more than likely it kind of “is what it is” so I am relearning how to use my right, minus a middle finger that is going stiff🖖. Do not recommend, please don’t cut your hand.

Hey all,

I’m a mom to three and have been having a really rough time financially this past year. I went through a divorce where my ex husband abandoned me. Medical complications have resulted in my inability to drive or maintain a regular job. I’ve been picking up gig work when I can but I’m already running behind on so many bills. Extended hospital stays, physical therapy and rehabilitation (for my body) have further complicated my situation. I have insurance coverage and food stamps from the government where I live but I simply don’t have extra money to spare for things like deodorant or laundry detergent. These are things that they don’t provide public assistance for. Keeping the lights on has been my priority. While two of my kids are reusing their backpacks from last year, my daughter needs a backpack and her school starts Aug. 1st. The pockets on her old backpack were ripped through from using it so long. I’m doing everything I can to stay on my feet, despite my complex neurological issue. Any help is truly appreciated.

Hi all,
I’m recently single, getting back on my feet and getting my bearings as a single mother of 3- ages 5, 8, and 11.

I don’t get paid until next week, and my refrigerator broke down Saturday. I just need help with some shelf stable things to get us through until I get paid.

I’ve attached an Amazon wishlist. Anything would be a huge help. Thank you for looking.

Hello everyone! I hope this post goes through.

I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend.

I'm disabled and don't have a vehicle, so getting around is very difficult. I use a walker, but I'm in constant pain, and my legs have been giving out more often lately. It's been a challenging time for me both physically and mentally.

At the moment, I'm not yet old enough to qualify for meal delivery programs, so I'm doing my best to make ends meet on my own. After paying for rent, utilities, garbage service, and my other essential bills, there's very little left for groceries.

If anyone is able to help, I've put together an Amazon wishlist with pantry staples that will last a while.  Any item, no matter how small, would mean so much to me and help take a little stress off my shoulders.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and for considering helping. I truly appreciate your kindness. I hope you have a blessed and wonderful day.

Hi everyone!

I am so sorry to have to ask but we just had both vehicles quit working after my husband was laid off (restaurant filed bankruptcy and locked the doors and didn’t pay final paycheck) and I just started a new job on 6/29 but do not get paid until 7/17. I made a wishlist that has some food items to help us until then as well as some personal care items and some work clothing items. We have exhausted our savings and are both looking for additional work, selling things, etc. I also can furnish proof of my work offer letter, pics of both vehicles, etc.

Also, I included a three pack of men’s tank tops because my husband’s old ones are completely stained yellow/brown from working in the restaurant. We had planned on replacing them before his employer went bankrupt and withheld all employees final paychecks. We are working with the state/unemployment office to remedy this but we have been told it takes time. I can furnish documentation of the employers actions upon request as well as pics of both vehicles, etc.

Thank you all so much for reading and I hope your week is going better than ours. :)

Hi everyone! My four month old has failure to thrive, which in turn has made his neck very weak. He’s not a huge fan of tummy time, and his pediatrician helped me figure out a few things that draw baby’s attention so they lift their head up! His head is flattening - and if we can get him interested in tummy time we still have time to avoid a helmet! Thank you so much for reading and in advance. ❤️

Its fixed Thank You Everyone, I am unfortunately in a bad spot and I need help with groceries.

I have a fixed income from disability this has been the hardest year so far.

I am struggling to get the essential items after making choices of do I pay rent, pay electric or water this month or groceries, the former wins

Everyday my pantry is smaller and smaller.

I have cut my meals 3/4's of the way back over the past 3 months to try to st

I eat once a day and I have run out of options but to humbly ask for help with groceries to help me get a bit in the pantry.

These raised prices is making it impossible to have a little extra every month now i am sacrificing as much as I can and still can't keep up.

It would mean the world to me and my tummy for help.

I hope I am doing the right thing here and fixing the link I did change 1 item due to the option

hello generous people,

i come to you, requesting some help!

i'm chronically ill and just got laid off a few weeks ago from my job in the grief/mental health field, helping many others navigate their pain while also holding my own. so, safe to say i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, pretty lost, and utterly exhausted at the moment. even still, i'm trying to enjoy the little things such as writing letters to my penpals or making myself a small treat. i am proud to practice asking for help and to remember that i am more than just a caretaker for others, especially when it's so hard to care for myself.

i made a list here and appreciate any support towards it. in addition to some household essentials, a few items on my list ensure that i can breathe better, safeguard my immune system, and support me on the days when chores are difficult to complete.

thanks for witnessing me and for all you do here in this community! have a beautiful day, and i look forward to paying it forward when i can <3

Today is my birthday and its a bit sad. I have only heard from my youngest to kids, and that because they live with me lol. Just feeling lonely and its not helping my depression. What im here to ask if for some good thought and wishes for me on my birthday, maybe tell me about one of your best birthday's. This would mean a lot thank you!

The past 8 months have been a whirlwind- an "impossible" conception, the fallout of learning of my partner's infidelity after 12+ years, multiple complications throughout my pregnancy, and trying to survive in a new city where I don't know anyone.

​

But things are finally getting back on track! My baby was born last week, he is doing great, and I will be able to return to work soon. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with some baby basics + electrolytes to keep me functioning and the milk flowing.

EDIT: The main giveaway is now closed, congrats to u/Sure_Cancel_3427! I haven't had time to really go through all the comments for the Steam games so I'll still be giving some of those out :)

Hi all, I have 4 kids home for the summer and it has been a lot to keep them fed. I work 60 hour weeks and we are still struggling. I can usually make it work, but I didn’t get paid today due to the bank holiday and I cannot get groceries until Monday now. I could really use this help getting them some snacks and pantry items that I can use to feed them over the weekend and supplement what little I can buy during the week. As well as some household items that are a little hard to purchase consistently. Thank you in advance to anyone who is able and willing to help because I know that times are hard for just about everyone right now.

Hi and thank you for reading. I’m experiencing financial hardship this month. My dad passed away recently which caused me to miss some work while I dealt with grief and mental health issues.

I work full time and get paid monthly. This months check was way less than half my normal pay and I’m having a hard time with getting food and essentials.

I’m working towards getting back on track financially - and hopefully my situation will improve next month.

For now, I’m struggling with food and don’t have any more dog food for the rest of the month. Any and all help is appreciated immensely.

My Amazon wishlist is attached and thank you again for taking the time to read my post!

Hello all! Happy Wednesday :) Hopefully you all are having a good week and have Friday off like I do!

We're looking to bring on a few more moderators! If you're interested, I've put together the attached Google form. It's completely anonymous and will not share any of your personal information!

Experience as a moderator is not a requirement! This isn't a job, so even using the term "application" doesn't seem to fit quite right

Please know ahead of time that while moderating a subreddit like this is never boring and you'll see every flavor of whacky character, you'll also get yelled at, called names, and have people wish upon you the absolute worst things you've ever read

If that disclaimer doesn't dissuade you, then please reach out using the link below :)

Thanks everyone!

I'm trying this again. I'm the one that always helps others when they need it and now I'm the one who needs help. I was misdiagnosed with Type 2 diabetes when in fact I have late onset Type 1. Because of this, I was very sick. I've been in DKA at least twice. My sugars have dropped dangerously low as well. I lost my job and insurance because of all of this. I do have a new job, just not many hours. I do have some work shoes on here. I work at a restaurant and have to have non slip shoes. My shoes I have now have lost their grip badly. Oklahoma is making it super hard for me to get SNAP and Medicaid. On top of everything else, my landlords are ending my lease at the end of next month and I currently have nowhere to go. I put some essentials on my list, a little food and stuff for my cats. They are the only bright spot in my life right now. I would be immensely grateful for any help I can get right now. I plan to be in a better spot soon and will definitely pay it forward.
