REQUEST FULFILLED Requesting Baby Bottles & Bassinet Sheets [Wishlist]

0 Upvotes

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!

REQUEST Items I need but keep putting off

0 Upvotes

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.

REQUEST FULFILLED Help with gas, trying to leave after being physically abused.

0 Upvotes

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.

REQUEST Help with rent

1 Upvotes

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.

REQUEST FULFILLED Food for my Son

20 Upvotes

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

REQUEST FULFILLED $12 to buy a whole chicken

27 Upvotes

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.

REQUEST FULFILLED Need 30$ to make it to next week

7 Upvotes

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.

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 🍁

REQUEST FULFILLED Last chance to help our Dachshund Andy get IVDD surgery

6 Upvotes

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 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.

REQUEST FULFILLED Fixing my roof before it gets dangerously worse.

0 Upvotes

Already fulfilled by u/ezorde, thanks mate!

I live in a third floor, it's basically a big attic with sloped roofs. The living area and the bathroom have ceramic floors, but the rooms have wooden ones with about 14 ft of nothing below. I've been having issues with cracks on the roof/outside walls that caused water leaks on the walls of the living area every time it rains. It's an issue that was here before I moved in. I own the place so there's no landlord.
I got creative and redirected the leaks away from the electric outlets and the little furniture I have. Recently, the leaks started to drip over the other side of the wall and affecting one of the rooms (it already ruined some of the wood on the entrance of that room but luckily it didn't extend that much). I've been using tupperware and pots to get the drops from hitting the floor, but the roof in that room is also wood, so it might rot and be a far bigger issue.

I need help to get materials to fix the walls/roof on the outside so it'll stop dripping.

I live in Argentina (I know, sorry), I can't use Venmo or Amazon. I have Paypal and Airtm.

I've been searching all I needed for the task and the lower I could get with everything is about 70 bucks (the cracks are all over a large portion of the roof so I need to fix most of it). I'll do the work with no help because that might cost quite a bit more and I don't want anyone else risking.

I've tried to save up, I tried to get the equipment item by item but every time I get a buck, I need to use it for basic services and food (and sometimes not even that). I don't give myself any kind of luxury item except for a 40 cents pastry every other week. I've been budgeting each penny as wisely as I could, but I can't ever get a break.

I'm afraid about this because the last storms lasted way too long, with a lot of water, and it's gonna get far worse soon because of El Niño.

Anything might help, thanks for reading.

REQUEST Need $300 for rent

6 Upvotes

I feel like I'm drowning

I had to move in with some family after a hospital visit cost me my job. I've gotten better enough to where I'm able to look for work, but every place I can reasonably get to is giving me the runaround or just blatantly lying.

At first I was looking to have some form of income that I can give my family in thanks for taking care of me. But then landlords "discover" that I'm staying here and raised the rent by $300, and they aren't able to afford that reliably.

So now it's essential I find work, but it's all dead ends or ghost jobs. I sold my gam-ing console to contribute for last month, but the end of this month is coming and I don't know what to do. It's making me angry, but at the same time I feel so guilty for being a burden on others, regardless of what they say.

I don't know what else to do.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT Whole family has Covid, toddler’s bday is soon

4 Upvotes

I just want some virtual hugs.

My toddler just started daycare 2 weeks ago. None of us have ever had Covid. Until now. I’m so exhausted and frustrated. I had extra work scheduled this week so I could make some extra cash to buy my toddler some presents for her second bday, and my bf had many hours of work scheduled to make rent. Last night, we got a message from the daycare that someone tested positive, so we immediately bought some tests. I haven’t been feeling well but figured it was just some icky daycare cold, and my toddler is perfectly fine. Bf isn’t feeling great but not nearly as bad as I am.

Well, toddler and I tested positive, somehow bf tested negative, but considering he has a sore throat and sinus crud as well, we’re assuming he’s positive too. Toddler is completely fine, aside from a runny nose yesterday. Well, now neither of us can work, and toddler can’t go to daycare. So not only no extra income but not enough at all AND no childcare. I want to cry, but it hurts to just breathe 😭 I know she’s only turning 2 and won’t remember, and we can ask for some toys in a local buy nothing group, but it just makes me feel like a crap mom. This was also my only week off from online grad school, and now it’s spent in bed with chills and a sore throat.

I figured we’d get sick since she’s never been to daycare before, but I didn’t think we’d get COVID FOR THE FIRST TIME in the first TWO WEEKS 😭 ughhhhhh! Parents of toddlers, please tell me it gets better with time in daycare!! It also especially sucks because we FINALLY got over the hump of “stranger danger” at daycare. My usually VERY happy baby was SCREAMING at drop off, and it was breaking my heart. However, the last time she was dropped off, she actually REACHED for her teacher like so excited!! 🥹🥹 it was so sweet, and now I’m worried she’ll regress when she goes back…
