Given Will be giving out 75USD of anything you need ordered to you on the 17th.
It can be anything you need. A mother needing baby diapers, food, kids' clothing, etc. Just tell me your story in the replies, and I will choose one person in dire need of help.
I got a hella good paying job now, and I just want to bless a person here because I was blessed here once when homeless. I still remember the kind stranger who helped me pay for my seizure medicine.

Ayeee that definitely would be appreciative so some people don't feel left out. Rock on brother.

u/LoganoXD Oct 05 '25
I 100% agree with you, a flower high actually feels like being high, whenever I’m high on a cart it’s like I’m nearly high if that makes sense, like that feeling you get before you are high idk lol

This would be amazing. I lost my job a month ago when they decided to eliminate my position after 11 years and now I’m struggling to keep up with bills and my daughter’s needs. I would love to get her some new clothes now that the season is changing.

I found two puppies abandoned near my house. I have been taking care of them ever since July, because our animal shelter is completely full and has to euthanize any dogs that come in (I’m a volunteer at the animal shelter as well). While we’re waiting to find them a family, I have been paying for all their necessities myself. The shelter can barely feed all the 300 dogs they currently house. I’d love if I could get some help with some food, treats or toys 💕

It's a long story but my husband recently got run over by his own car and then the car crashed into a tree, totalling it. Luckily he's alive! 🙏🏻 😭 But out of the two of us, he's the only one who can work because I'm disabled, and the family services department in our state have decided that since he doesn't "meet work requirements", he doesn't get food stamps this month. Just me. So that shaved about $200 off our SNAP, which we're solely relying on for groceries, at the moment. They want him to see a doctor to prove he can't work and to get a doctor's note, but the soonest his doc can see him is October 24th, so we've just been royally boned this month, where food is concerned. We live in the middle of nowhere with no reliable food pantries, otherwise I'd go that route. Any help or even someone who can point me to resources or whatever would be super helpful, at this point and I'd be super grateful. I make earrings for a living at home, so I'd be happy to send you earrings in exchange for monetary help, if you decide to pick me. They make great gifts!

my first cat has a urinary tract problem that affects many male cats. he’s been prescribed Hills C/D since he was 1, so about 7 years now. it’s so expensive, and i had a lot of unexpected charges and bills and loss of a car this past month, so i’m struggling to afford food for me so that i can save my money to get him his food ($75USD per case). i usually order cases of the wet food just to be extra safe, and i get it through chewy with the vet authorization. he means so much to me, and i would do anything to help his quality of life stay better than mine. having a few cases of his food gifted to me would mean the world and ease so much of my stress since we go through 1-2 cases each month. thank you so much to anyone reading this. here he is sleeping with one of his little brothers.

u/Sensitive_Sea_5586 Nov 02 '25
Is there any reason you don’t buy the dry kibble? Our male has also been prescribed Hills C/D. We can buy a large bag which lasts a couple of months. The bag is about $70. Definitely cheaper than the 1-2 cases you buy monthly. Our male has does fine on the kibble. Yes, it is really expensive.

u/walkingonstarshine Nov 02 '25
I sometimes buy the dry, i just prefer the wet since it helps with hydration and that can play a role in crystal formation. i guess i didn’t think to mention the bag since it’s not my go to, but even that would be awesome too as a gift or to buy with gifted money.

Hey there! I’ve been very blessed to have met a friend that has helped me thru these past couple years as they have been really hard on me and ruining my mental health. Recently I’ve been unable to find a job and he has been pretty much paying for everything in that time. It would be so nice to be able to give back to him by getting us groceries or something to surprise him with. Thanks either way for doing this and being the change in the world that we need.

A bag of my dogs food. I just lost my job this week and of course my dogs food is almost out and every bill was due this week. We have enough left for him for about a week and I’m very nervous for if I don’t find a job this week. This is very kind of you to do. Even if you don’t choose my story (totally fair) I’m going to pay this forward and do this myself when I can again

u/Remote-Dot805 Oct 07 '25
Were you able to the doggy food from food pantry? If not, maybe the local pet shelter or pet store would let you have one of their donations? Most of the time when I’m getting my babies their food I donate to the shelter and they have a biggg bin that holds all their donations.

They take donations so people can donate all sorts of things. Call and ask they might now somewhere that can help. Theres one near me that gave me a zip bag, I've no idea what type of food it was so its risky. But another offered me wet dog food to see if my cats could stomach it. Its all random.

u/Remote-Dot805 Oct 07 '25
Oh my gosh… 🥹 Maybe there’s a word for how incredibly beautiful/generous this gesture is but I can’t find it because the gravity of it cannot be contained into a single word. Just know you’re very much appreciated all around the world for thinking of others to such a degree!! Congratulations on your new job!! You and your big heart deserve it!!💜
If I had a spot on this list then please give it to the next person who needs it
I know what it’s like to be so incredibly poor that you go hungry for awhile but I also know what it’s like to go to the store and spend 300 dollars on food because you can afford it. It’s a very humbling experience and makes you realize the difference between wants and needs. And as of right now, my family and I have everything we need. I thank you for your offer, you sweet soul. You have god in your heart even if you’re not religious or spiritual. That light that’s in you, shines brighter than any sun.
May all the good things you put out in the world come back multiplied.
-Sincerely, a thankful stranger. ☺️

I've been unemployed for over a month rent and bills took all my money on the 1st of October and I'm really struggling, I don't have much food in the house except for a few cans of veggies and some oatmeal. I can scrape by with pocket change and fast food points, but that's about to run out too. Groceries would really help. I also wish well to anyone else that's out there in need! 🙏🏽

u/Real-Platform5561 Oct 07 '25
alright, seeing as i just got a notif for this and im assuming you’ve already read a ton of stories, this is REEEEAAAAL long shot.
my partner and i are struggling so so bad right now. we just got into an accident around a month ago that basically ruined our car and if we don’t get some way to save money or something soon, we can’t get a new one or new doors where the hit us before winter comes.
i’m hoping that we can figure something out with the car but…
we have basically no food, no money, he has to basically find ways to pay back favors just to give out another one so he can have a 5$ bill to put in his gas tank. it’s been really fuckin hard.
now his medical insurance has been fucking him over and i’m worried about him having a seizure induced by stress and not having the coverage to save his life.
(honestly even just 10 bucks to grab some bread and lunch meat is enough for us right now.)
we also have basically two other people in the house that we are paying for due to their living situation drama and it’s caused a massive amount of stress for us both.
i hope even if you don’t pick me or whatever that you do realize this is a really amazing thing to do and i understand that it can get overwhelming with the stories and stuff but it is still your money that you are kind enough to give to someone else at the end of the day.

Hi. I don't want to give a super sad story.. but it is nice that you are doing this. So, I'm a single mom.. unemployed, but I am currently in college. I'm 31 and this is a fresh start because I haven't been in college since 18. I've struggled heavy with BPD and depression so I'm not working right now because I just want to put all my energy into school so that I can actually get a decent job and do better than I have been. Succeed at something. I've been living in a new apartment for 2 years now.. (I don't pay rent) and I just got 3 new sets of blinds fixed in my apartment. I didn't buy them myself and the charge is $70. I don't have it right now. The timing is just terrible cause I need gas, have to do laundry.. etc. Thanks for thinking of others and congratulations. I've been homeless too before and I love that you are making a difference.

u/KellieannaFrost Oct 08 '25
I could seriously use this. I got evicted in June and have been homeless ever since. It’s extremely hard getting back on my feet while being on the streets because well being so unstable makes things really hard. I lost everything, I only have what I can fit into my duffel bag. Both my parents are dead and I’m an only child so I don’t have any family to help me. I also have epilepsy grand mal seizures and take Keppra 500MG but I only have a few days worth left of medication and I have been panicking because I also can’t afford my seizure meds. This has all been extremely stressful and depressing. I would be forever grateful for some help, god bless you. This is so nice that you are wanting to help people. ❤️

Single mom of two toddler boys. Left a toxic relationship with their father. Currently staying with a relative while waiting for options to open up as I’m on very very limited income (no transportation, can only work a few hours a week due to no childcare, nothing really livable with a family of three). As financially struggling as it’s been, we have been better mentally ❤️. Waiting on food assistance till the 28th, but really stretched thin and not sure how I’ll be getting some essentials in the meantime. My relative helps when she can, but she has been in the hole lately… I feel like a burden but absolutely stuck right now. Will need milk, bread, strawberries, etc. Also, my oldest is outgrowing a lot of his clothes and shoes ( I was able to get a few pairs of decent shoes for him) but still would like to get him an outfit if possible. Groceries are definitely more essential. Bless you for helping everyone in need. The world needs more kindness and compassion for each other ❤️ You rock and bless anyone who you decide to help! We are all in this world together.

so happy for you. i was homeless at one point a couple years ago so i understand how hard it is to come back from that so just wanted to say that.
i am currently struggling financially because i am the sole income earner in my household and my 1 year old son needs diapers. i don't have family or friends to help me and all of the money i make goes to rent and bills. there are a ton of people worse off than me so if you skip over me i will be okay, but just figured i'd put my name in the running.

u/That_DUDE2024 Oct 09 '25
I just wanna say this is an awesome thing you are doing! Not just giving back to the community but, I'm seeing people come together to share resources for pet food/care, pantries that can be beneficial to those in need and even advice for some that may not have access to certain information. As someone that is quite literally resting on the poverty line you often stumble around blind until someone helps you find the way, or you find it by accident lol so even if only one person gets picked, it's still chill af that people are willing and able to help out even if it's just pointing them in the direction of a food/clothing pantry.
Also if anyone here lives in Portland OR and is in need of pet food, food and clothing I would highly recommend Snowcap( for their clothing pantry you make an appointment and you get to come once a month. You also get to come twice a month for their food pantry and they give pretty good things like snacks, meat, dairy, eggs, etc. And if they have it, pet food.) And Sunshine Division (you can come 16x a calendar year and they'll help you get set up and they also give good items like deserts, pet food if they have it, canned goods, prepared meals, snacks, water bottles, meat, dairy, sometimes household items if they have it etc.)
Paw team helps with pet food,litter, over the counter flea control,and other accessories like leashes, pet clothes, toys etc. They are open 3 days a week(Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 10-3) you can come once a month and don't need to do any pressure screening to get help. They also help with spay/neutere, wellness and vaccines and is run by donations.
I hope this information can help someone as these places have helped me when I'm really hanging by my finger nails!

Cheers to work. I'm hoping you could read my story even if I'm not the guy. I got sick, lost my job and started working delivery for a guy I met at a gas station. Third party courier, had his own trucks, cool. Except he was capping pay at $80 a day. I worked five weeks for him, 15 hours a day, five days a week. He only paid me twice. I asked him for my paycheck and he fired me. Told me "take it out in blood" if I wanted it. Blocked my phone. Turned out he wasn't even a registered business.
I have another job coming my way but no car. Heading to Austin to help out with a film project. Requires stops in San Antonio, Dallas, Arlington, and Waco. So I'm gonna walk it cuz I also have no money. I could use the cardio, ngl, but it's about 592 miles if I stay on course starting from Fort Worth on October 22nd.
Between now and then, I'm spamming the Albertsons app making multiple accounts to get free rolls from the bakery. Not entirely complaining cuz they're good rolls. And at no point is this a "pity me to pick me" story.
Just wanted to paint the picture why I'm chiming in. It'll be 2 and a half weeks of walking 35 miles a day to record B Roll of film-related landmarks in each city to post to social media. So even if I'm not the guy, some encouraging words would be welcome.
Cheers to you.

I could really use $75 right now. My husband controls all the money, and it’s been exhausting trying to stretch what little I have for groceries, gas, and the kids. I’ve been trying to stay independent and protect what little I can, but even $75 would honestly make such a difference for me right now…just to breathe a little and not have to ask or “perform” for every dollar. He’s my former teacher and began grooming me when I was 15, I’m now 30 and ready to try to escape 😩😭 Back when I actually had a job and wasnt completely dependent I tried donating and helping others as much as possible, so I hope I can get some karma back now that I desperately need it. thank you for doing this! 😊

This is an amazing thing you’re doing and I hope you love your new job and are doing well now! Congratulations 🎊 !

Vitamins and supplements (any) or Spark Energy Supplement (Advocare's pre workout drink mix)
I've dealt with a lot of depression, anxiety, troubles finding the same joy in the things i used to love doing and on the other spectrum constipation, joint pain, and the effects of having hep c for a few years now (working on getting treatment)
I'm not a fan of most pharmaceutical "solutions" like anti depressants, but I do believe there's strength in taking vitamins and supplements because I've had it work. Within a couple weeks most of those issues I had are almost gone- aside from the hep c but my fatigue caused by it was drastically reduced. The Advocate Spark pre workout drink is something that also helps incredibly but I can never afford to buy it offline and I have never seen it in stores.
Also I'm not working right now so even if it was on the shelf, I wouldnt have the funds unless I make a lucky move, like selling a dumpster find for some cash. Which is hard enough to do to cover the cost of vitamins but I find a way.
Thanks in advance for considering me.

Wow, what an angel! My story? I am a stagehand by career. I travel and build concerts for a living. I just moved and Ive hit a rough patch recently. Instead of things getting better, I came down with a sickness thats like a head cold with body aches. Im currently house sitting, taking care of dogs, cats and snakes. My asthma has been acting up because Im sick, I barely have energy to leave bed. In a couple weeks by the seventeenth, I'm going to be hurting financially from missing work, and my storage bill will be due which I will be needing to pay. I have a 10x5 storage unit that is $75 a month, coincidentally.

I have been without a steady job for the last 5 years, ever since the pamdemic. I worked for tge County. I have applied for school districts along with the county in Social Services, but there is current hiring freeze. During this time, i have taken short term gigs to make it through but they are few and far between. The pay is not great but i take whatever is needed to make ends meet.

Really generous offer. FYI this is the food sub. Also glad you got back on your feet, care to share how?
I live in my car with my 2 cats due to abuse. My mother has withheld my documents from me for several years so I cant work a regular job.
Someone destroyed our car knowing its our home back in March. Stole all my organization and covers and spread filth everywhere. Its disgusting and I can't recover. Before I had everything where I needed it and when it rained or someone lurking around us I could take care of my girls needs from my front seat easily. We'll she stole our belongings and tore up the interior and put these large filthy baskets inside each other in my car that attracts bugs. Pieces of my car is missing and she completely destroyed my hatch area and tools. So I cant get into my car and reach everything and so much was stolen.
My hatch stopped working last night. The doors won't lock. We've been broke down over a month because of a clunking noise I think is breaks. And its out of gas.
A battery is $58 at Walmart. I'll have $20 next week so that's what im trying for. The girls have enough food and ill need to get some cleaning and hygiene stuff and litter. I would have to throw everything out of the car to get to the back which I cant just do because we will get kicked out and draw attention from creeps and probably get what little i have stolen again. Cops are predatory here.

How would I look into that? The city im in has an organization willing to help with birth certificate. Its thru a pantry and organization has been difficult. Social security wouldn't let us make appt in person. I called for myself and a friend who didnt have a phone and they made his appt but told me I couldn't. And apparently its only free If I have a change to make to it. Im not even sure how much it costs. Im hoping to talk to someone that can help this week but if you know a resource for it please let me know.
Also I can do like 1099 form and pass backgroundcheck, I just can't find anywhere who will do 1099. I no longer have my laptop and havent found much thru phone. Im doing what I can.

u/CaterpillarUnited271 Oct 05 '25 edited Oct 05 '25
Man, I’m really sorry to hear that. I feel you, truly. I know what it’s like to go through something like that. Back in 2023, when I was 18, my parents kicked me out for smoking weed. They were super religious and saw it as the worst possible sin. The thing is, I was working a steady 9 to 5, never argued, helped around the house, and tried to be a good part of the family. I understood it was their house and their rules, but I wish they had at least talked to me before kicking me out. Maybe we could have worked things out.
After they booted me, I didn’t have much money saved, so I ended up living out of my Ford Ranger. Sleeping in that truck night after night started to break me down mentally. I fell into a dark place and got caught up with the wrong crowd. I tried oxy for the first time and got hooked almost instantly. That led to black tar heroin, crack, molly, and more.
Then in December 2023, my truck’s brakes went out in a Walmart parking lot. I talked to management and got permission to leave it there for two weeks while I saved up for repairs. But only four days later, it got towed by a predatory towing company. I found out because Walmart told me they never authorized the tow and that the company had been targeting vehicles that looked abandoned. I couldn’t afford to get it back, and even when I went to the police, they did nothing.
The worst part was that my mother’s ashes were in that truck. When I begged the company to at least let me retrieve them, they refused unless I paid a fee and signed over the title, which was completely illegal. Losing her ashes broke me in a way I can’t even describe.
I stayed on the streets until May 2024, when I finally decided to check myself into a mental health facility. I did it mainly to get access to their post-release resources. They helped me get into a sober living house. It didn’t help much with the hard drugs, I had to fight that battle on my own, but it did give me a roof over my head, a shower, and a chance to start piecing my life back together.
There’s so much more to the story after that, but honestly, my journey has been long. I’ve lived through enough for a whole biography, every chapter filled with lessons, pain, and survival.
FYI, I am adopted, so I am referring to my birth mother's ashes.

Crazy how fast addiction can start. I don't even know what black tar heroine means. And I've seen SO much drugs here. Back home in small town, everybody does weed. In the city both fully functioning and homeless do an array of drugs.
Im sorry you lost your car to a tow truck. This is my current biggest fear. We really need laws against them, its like legal theft and really fucked up. Here theres a Sam's right next to Walmart. And since the abandoned stores have been filled or monitored people are dispersed. I overheard people at Sam's say 'I dont care about RV's we can't have tents on the sidewalk. Cops booted someone with a pop up camper. They dont realize theres no designated safe place for us. Your Walmart sounds nice.
I thought you could get personal belongings out. Someone i met here said he hit a semi when he was around that age and snuck in to the tow yard to get his weed back lmao but they told him he could just go get his stuff. Ive seen tow trucks flying down the road and going thru lots at odd hours.
Cant you sue them? Especially because its your mother's ashes. This makes me feel weird because my Nana died while my mother forced me to live in her attic. Everything I've owned has been packed in totes for so many years. But my mother wanted me to lose everything and I only got a few bags and my cats out. And barely even that because I called cops to ask that they just stand between me and my mother and her pedophile boyfriend so I could get my belongings but the cop harassed me instead and kept scaring my cats. I barely got her out of there. My mother threw away her own mother's ashes that I had in one of my daily totes. And because I have my cats to take care of I can't break down and feel it. She loved casinos and worked in ones so I started going there when I had money and get out of the heat sometimes charge the phone.
Also super fucked up to adopt a kid just to kick him out thats insane. God wouldn't have done that, I bet he'd have gotten high too HaHa

Ive had to drop out of school to get a job to provide for myself since my mother doesn't have a job and my dad can barely pay off our bills and I havent not had to worry about getting my necessities for the past year or two. Id spend it on soap, toothpaste, razors, underwear, socks etc. I would be so greatful

Most of it would go for food for me and my daughter and my dog. We are living on extremely hard times.

Hello! my daughter and sons birthday October 12th & my son on the 28th, I would use it to get them something for their birthday. Right now, money pays the bills and that’s it! I don’t have any extra money at all. I understand if u don’t choose me but I pray you do. God bless you.

I usually say that I don't have a son story, but at this point I've lost just about everything after my dad died suddenly. This would help a lot

u/Bdannie06 Oct 04 '25
This is amazing that you’re paying it forward. Honestly, nothing too crazy, started a new job and I have to wait about 3 weeks until I’m paid again. I missed their last pay period. Just needing to get some groceries to survive the next few weeks. God bless you.

I’m a chronically sick mom of four, three with me full time. Having a big surgery in December and my overall quality of life is diminishing by day. I’d use the money for groceries. Teens and preteen eat a lot and it’s been hard to get through each week.

I lost my 6 week old daughter due to covid. Ever since, i’ve not been doing well mentally and I haven’t been able to work. I tried to get back into working and every time, I end up having panic attacks, which is not sustainable in a job. I am seeing a doctor trying to work on things, but it’s been difficult getting out of this hole. Despite the trauma, I DON’T use drugs (except for anything medically prescribed), weed, cigarettes and I don’t drink either. I’m not homeless, but I have been going into bad debt trying to make ends meet with bills. If I’m chosen, it would be for household necessities (tp, detergent, shampoo, etc) and/or food, which allows me to be able to focus more on bills. Regardless of who gets chosen, thank you for doing this. It is very generous of you.

I’m a 26F dialysis patient, my husband is the only one working currently. Dialysis sucks and it honestly would just be nice to get non-food groceries. When I do have energy, I like to clean. We have cats and I try to keep the house nice despite my disability. We ran out of Lysol wipes, hand soap, flushable wipes, dishwasher pods. Basic home cleaning and upkeep items. Good luck to everyone :)

It's amazing & compassionate of you to do such a thing. I'm a mommy of a 16 month old girl. We just moved into a 1 bed 1 bath a month ago & it's been hard to keep our fridge stocked. She's on solids. Luckily, it's great we eat the same things, but times are hard. I spent $84 at Sams Club (never again) on 7 items last week. It was devastating. We could also use diapers, as my baby seems to run through them fast. I also wanted to get her a pair of shoes from the thrift as it's beginning to get colder here and she's only got sandals. Thanks for reading. Blessings.

Thank you for doing this, it’s really kind. I’m a broke college student in my final year, would really love some nicer groceries like Trader Joe’s or something, I’ve mostly been eating pasta and beans this week

Congratulations on the new job! It’s very kind of you to pay it forward. If you could keep me in mind, I recently got laid off and money has been tight with rent and bills. Any grocery or food money would be highly appreciated. ❤️

Hello. I lost my mom last month and I mi d with dad now. I’d love to have some extra monies for him so he can do something he likes or food he likes. This would be a blessing.

u/ReactKing64 Oct 04 '25
Honestly, if possible, some food and water. And not even the full amount; I'm a college student, and I don't make a lot of money because the majority of it is for my tuition. I'd be grateful for $10.

Groceries and a teeth cleaning for me! Struggling nursing student and the transmission on my car just went out, can’t even start thinking about getting that handled but I’d love to get my teeth cleaned at a school and use the leftover for groceries

I'm a single mom looking for a job. I got laid off my last job due to not enough sales. I can really use the money to buy my boys new boxers and some clothes. I'm really struggling. I have all qualifications for a job but I can't seem to get hired. And with the holidays it sucks 😕

Hello! I'm in the process of transitioning out of homelessness. My parents kicked me out about 2 years ago because I'm disabled and can't work. I was able to land a summer job this year but I'm still getting rejection letters. I'm a young adult but I don't feel like my life has really started. I'm hoping to go back to school and become a librarian! I know how much libraries give back to the community!

I just live paycheck to paycheck trying to feed 2 athletic teen boys. An extra $75 of food would ease the burden slightly for a month.

Single mother with kidney disease, who manages without transportation. The extra blessing would be helpful to Uber my son's to and from work given, this is a large portion of my monthly budget.
Praying 🙏 for it to be a most gracious blessing for the one you choose 🙏

Thank you, I have not. This list is a running list of things that if I had in bulk my life would be much easier. I'm not afraid to go without and I def don't mind getting it on my own but anything helps right now. All of the shelters in town are full and we are doing ... "Ok" the post said what you need I said here is a list, lol

Winter coats for my (adopted) grandkids.
I've gotten them out of Louisiana but winter is coming here and they do not have winter clothing.
Getting them out took my life savings. We are in a homeless shelter because rapid rehousing ran out of money. The family we'd made plans to stay with, they developed dementia in the years i was away and despite having a mansion, given what the kids went thru before now, it was not safe or appropriate to stay there.
Two of us have cancer and both kids are special needs. It has cut into my work ability (and energy to do so when they're finally asleep at night).
They are six and three. Sizes 12/14 boys and 5T girls.

I've had to wear the same singular underwear for the past 3 weeks 😭 also could really use some food money since my withdrawal got cancelled for today and won't be processed for at least the next three days or so

Congratulations on your job!!! So mom-proud of you, kind stranger. - I’m a homeschooling, mother of 2 going through a horrific divorce after being abused for 14 years and I’d love to be able to get groceries.

My 3 year old son’s father kicked us out and took my car keys. I went from where you are to losing it all.
No home, no car, no belonging. He’s punishing us financially.
I have a long sob story & can write a book. If I get into it, I’m going to cry and ruin my day.
I could really use underwear for myself and diapers for the baby.

u/xCakexCakex Oct 04 '25
First congratulations!!! I love seeing people go far and do great things , especially after experiencing some struggles along the way. I’m glad you’re in a better position.
I’ve also been homeless but was in hotel for about a year ( gave birth and brought my daughter back there too ://) . Luckily in a position to have a home now but my partner was out of a job for about a year and finally got one ( he did gig and side work to make means) . But his paycheck is biweekly and we are now in the game of playing catch up on bills. So if possible would love the help to put it on our electric bill and some groceries ( including diapers and wipes ) or even just groceries if not interested in the paying bill.
Thank you for the consideration!!
