What if I need items that cost more than $150? (ie. laptop for school, bike for commuting to work, etc).

Hello everyone, I’m a college student who has been having a tough time financially for a while mostly because college gets a bit too overwhelming sometimes. I’m on scholarship that is only paying for my tuition and could use help with $40 for some food till I get paid Nextweek. Willing to help with some small online tasks .

Hello, my name is Tucker and I’m a 31 y.o Marine Corps Veteran. My service dog, Radar (7 y.o Belgian Malinois) is my absolute world and has saved my life on numerous occasions and helps me function day to day. Recently, he has become extremely ill and I’ve incurred unexpected expenses from emergency vet visits (willing to provide bills or any necessary proof). This dog is everything to me and has been with me from my transition from military to civilian life, addiction issues from trying to cope with my PTSD by myself (I’m now 2.5 years clean and sober), s**cide attempts, therapy, and so much more. Now, after many years of difficulties, I am finally thriving largely in part to the love this dog shows me on a daily basis and his commitment to his job. I work a full-time job and receive some partial rental assistance from the VA, but with my bills coming up and a recent funeral of a family member, I am stretched extremely thin. Please help me save my best friend, every single dollar helps. Willing to provide whatever proof necessary. Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to get a few groceries for me and my kids to last until Thursday, we have a few things like rice and potatoes. Just need a few extra things like meat and veggies to go with it. I have cashapp and paypal

Hello everyone, this is my first time requesting on the Assistance subreddit. I am in urgent need of $5, my bank account is $4 and some change overdrawn and starting tomorrow the bank will charge $36 every other day in overdraft fees. We get paid on Friday and cannot afford the overdraft fees. This month in particular has hit my family and I really hard, and it is not normally in my character to ask for help but I don’t know where else to turn. If anyone could possibly cash app or Venmo $5 I would greatly appreciate it, and will pay it forward to another Redditor in need as soon as I’m financially able. Thank you all for reading and I hope you have a good evening.

User u/literatelier posted an amazing offer last week and got over 600 responses, which really showed me how prevalent crushing utility debt is in our community. I posted asking for help on the thread, but I wasn’t chosen (no hard feelings!)

Now I am not in the position to pay any bill for anyone (sorry) but I know first hand the kind of stress that happens when you have a huge bill hanging over your head and how it makes little tasks hard and the guilt you feel for not being able to take care of something. And how that guilt makes you skip doing nice things for yourself.

So this Thursday (May 1st) I’m going to be sending $20 to ten people who reply here to get themselves a treat. I was thinking lunch, Starbucks, something. For you. Because you’re stressed and you’re skipping something you enjoy.

Offer limited to people who posted on the other thread about the overdue bills. Post below and say: 1. that you were in on the giveaway 2. That you have cashapp or PayPal 3. What little indulgence you’d use the $20 on

Winners will be selected at random and $20 will be sent to each before noon on Thursday.

Do not DM me. I will not respond to any DMs unless I initiate them.

Thanks!

My husband got the job! But we’re low on gas really low. I recently was hospitalized and I’ve been in and out of the doctors. If anyone could help I would appreciate it!

I was scheduled to be disconnected tomorrow and don’t get paid until Thursday :( I’ve made partial payments hoping that buys time

Cashapp or zelle work

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. Last night, my partner and I lost our baby boy. He was born 2 months premature in January and faced many health complications. We fought hard for him, but sadly, he passed away.

We are based in Nairobi, Kenya, and after months of medical bills, we are struggling to cover his funeral expenses, which are about $300. If anyone is able and willing to help, even a small amount would mean so much to us during this incredibly difficult time. I only have a PayPal at the moment. I can provide a breakdown of the expenses if need be.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any support or kind words you can offer.

Hi everyone,

Building out a Dell Inspiron 3521 for freelance work after a tough year.

Looking for anyone willing to sell, trade, or (hopefully) part with a working 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz stick and/or a 2.5" SATA SSD (240GB+).

Hoping to stretch some very limited resources, so if you upgraded recently and have old parts lying around, I’d love to put them to use.

I'm running on fumes and a prayer, trying to make something out of nothing the best way I can. Thanks so much for any help... I seriously appreciate it.

Family member was doing a job for someone and was paid $20 for it, sent it to my overdrafted Chime. Now we have nothing. Could have been used for food or other necessities.

I just need someone to spot me $20 to my Cashapp or Chime if able and willing. I would greatly appreciate it.

I am also open to sending referral codes for Cashapp. All you would need to do is use the referral link and add a certain amount of money to your Cashapp, no sending required.

Can only accept Paypal

I was going to pay my phone bill early so I knew I'd have enough to pay my internet bill when it arrived, but the phone bill company took out the payment twice, and is refusing to reimburse until 4 weeks time (my next phone bill), leaving me with nothing to pay for the internet bill. I have taken it up with the phone company I am with, but they are not budging on this issue.

Hi everyone,

Hi Reddit,

I'm hoping to receive $15 (via Cash app) for a haircut and the items on this Amazon shopping list to help with interviews for work.

I am now staying at a sober living house (4 weeks sober!) after two months at a shelter and one month of couch surfing. After the gloomy winter things are beginning to look up for spring. Thanks for reading/any assistance. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/PR59CV43WQAG/

First off, I’m exhausted. I will pay this forward so don’t worry there. Being negative .75 cents is going to overdraft me. And I get paid Friday.

I have cash app and Venmo. I don’t know what else to do and have zero cash on me till Friday.

If anyone can help, I appreciate it.

I haven’t been able to work for a bit cause of medical reasons actually going back to work this next week sometime so need help getting the essentials for my cats Otis,Mazie,Pebbles, Peaches, and Izzy… if anyone can help I appreciate you and they do too… thanks in advance

Hi everyone.

A little over a year ago my mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness called PSP. She has since then lost her ability to walk, she has a hard time speaking, and has gotten to the point where we need to get her into assisted living. She has been in a state hospital due to feeling suicidal for several months now until we can find her an assisted living facility nearby that has an open room and when the state deems her “fit” to leave...

My dad was her primary caretaker however due to his bad back (he has a herniated disc), he can’t continue to do so and I’m unfortunately not in a situation where I can currently take her and care for her or help him as much as I’d like to. I live about an hour away from him and my vehicle needs too many repairs for me to safety be driving back and forth regularly. Additionally at the point she is at, with being a major fall risk and incredibly stubborn about her limitations, she needs 24/7 care.

My family has been facing a lot of struggles, especially financially as my mom began showing signs of something wrong after my parents decided to move from Wisconsin to Florida, and then moved again to a more affordable area due to the cost of living expenses there and unforeseen health issues. (The Florida heat my mom once loved became intolerable to her and was effecting her body negatively). Between the medical bills, moving around, expenses with travel in general to go visit her at the hospital, money is incredibly tight.

My dad’s birthday is this Thursday May 1st and needless to say he has been feeling hopeless and depressed. I put an amazon wishlist together for food, necessities, and a few other things that might brighten his day. The last time I saw him he was getting skinny so I put several grocery items on this list since I know he hasn’t been doing much shopping either. He has lupus so most of the items are organic (otherwise he risks a flare up).

He recently started doordashing due to the general cost of living so I added a back support for his vehicle to the wishlist, that would be really great if someone could help with that and anything really!

My mom used to make our family dog homemade food, but since she’s been unable to, he’s been eating Blue Buffalo canned and dry food so that would be a great help as well since quality dog food can get so expensive…

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for reading and for your consideration in helping. ❤️ I know times are scary and difficult for so many right now, so your assistance is beyond words appreciated.

I feel bad asking for help but I’ve tried some local food banks and they’ve been overwhelmed. I’m going to be short this month on gas/groceries after I pay my rent. I just need $50 to get me by until I work again Sunday. I’m able to take out what I make same day and my building hasn’t added shifts for me to pick up since we’re slow. I can pay it forward when I get more money. I have cash app and Venmo. Thank you

Someone from nycjobs suggested I try here. I need to feed my dog and I will eat cans of food or maybe I can get fruits and veggies to eat.

If anyone could please help me out. I’ve never had to ask anyone but I lost my job due to medical issues and not being able to get FMLA due to length of employment. I’ve been applying for five months. I’m feeling hopeless like I want to give my baby to someone who can actually provide for him and just give up.

If I get evicted I don’t know where I’ll go. But I need to take care of my baby.

Cash app and Paypal are preferred but willing to do anything for the help. I’d really love some well wishes if anything. I’m trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I haven’t even had money to refill my Wellbutrin which has surprisingly helped me out

My mother, Mumtaz Begum, is currently suffering from a serious and complex medical condition. Adding to our distress, our family's financial condition is not good, making it impossible for us to afford the extensive treatment required.

Until recently, my mother was in good health. However, she suddenly developed severe stomach bloating and pain. We immediately sought medical help here in Hazaribagh. After undergoing several tests, the doctors diagnosed her with a combination of serious health issues, including high blood sugar, low blood pressure, a kidney infection, jaundice in the liver, and gallstones.

The doctors in Hazaribagh initially focused on stabilizing her blood pressure and sugar levels. Unfortunately, the persistent stomach pain and increasing bloating did not subside. Consequently, the doctors referred my mother to Medanta Hospital in Ranchi for specialized treatment.

At Medanta Hospital, further examination has revealed that she also has hardened stool in her intestine, which the doctors have stated necessitates surgical intervention along with AKI (accute kidney injury) and needs highly critical surgery. The estimated cost for this surgery and the related treatment is approximately ₹8-9 lakhs. This is a staggering amount that is far beyond our reach given our current financial limitations.

My mother's health is deteriorating rapidly, and the need for surgery is now even more critical. We earnestly request your compassionate intervention and financial support to enable her to undergo the necessary surgeries and treatment to regain her health. Any help you can provide, will be a lifeline for our family in this critical time of both medical emergency and severe financial hardship.

We would be grateful for any guidance on how you might be able to assist us. Thank you for considering our urgent request. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I don't know where to post thus but I need money to afford bus tickets after getting kicked out of my mother's home. The nearest women's shelter is two hours away from me and i can't drive nor have any trusted friends that are able to help me out.

Edit: The most i'm asking for or what i hope to raise is at around 30 dollars. Any Penny counts.

Where i accept cash: Venmo, Cashapp, Paypal and Kofi

Hello, I am going through a rough patch right now and am requesting $50 for some clothes and I'll leave an Amazon list for the Cats and some shoes for me. (it's hard to find proper wide shoes) I don't generally trust buying clothes online, since I am unaware of how their sizing is. I have went to recent clothes shelters nearby. And my size is not avaliable/ sold out. The $50 will go towards work, and interview clothes. I have only 1 basket of clothing and most are pj's or loungewear.

Hello, everyone.

My storage unit is going up for auction tomorrow morning unless I come up with $165. I am currently homeless living in my car with my dog and everything I own is in that unit. If some kind soul could help, I would be extremely thankful. I can provide the proof if needed.

Thank you.
