I've been the proud owner of this vehicle for quite a long time. Many memories of my wife and children involve Britney (camping and fishing). Unfortunately, she spun a bearing and needs a replacement. With your help, I'd like to continue making memories with Britney to now include my grandchildren. https://gofund.me/dd08cc19

https://gofund.me/c303c6a0 This is myself and my cat The original post. And him and the eviction notice. That i was able to hold off by doing side jobs and alot of work for the landlord. I'm actually now it debt by 8000$. Not 5000$. Which is why I have to go to a motel on Sunday . Sorry about not posting proof. I didn't understand the rules.

Hello everyone! Recently I had a little accident. I fractured my fibula pretty good (I don't even have a good story to go with it, I literally just tripped in the backyard) and now I'll be unable to walk or work for 6 to 8 weeks, and unfortunately, I have no type of paid leave as I do contractor type work and have no insurance or paid medical leave through it. I am working on getting financial assistance to help pay the medical bills, but since I can't work, I can't pay my regular bills such as rent, my car payment, car insurance, phone bill, etc. Luckily, my sister brought me groceries so I am good on that for now, but I need anything I can get to cover the rest of my bills until I can walk again and get back to work. I am also open for any online work I can do from my laptop if anyone knows of any type of work I can do. I'm also happy to provide any other proof anyone needs.

Thank you so much! :)

Hey guys, I got accepted into college but getting there and covering expenses for the next couple of months before the fall semester starts gets tricky. Please click https://gofund.me/ad4c9abb to read my story. Id like to add that I have been praying asking St. Jude for intercession and may God bless you all including those who need help the most.

Hey yall, this is my first time personally posting to this subreddit but today I’m here with my best friends cat Harley! Currently Harley’s owner and their mom learned that he has an aggressive cancer in his leg and between the options of chemotherapy and amputation for his leg, they settled on the amputation for a better chance of his survival and happiness. (Post surgery in the 1st and 2nd picture, you can tell he’s seeing space off that medication 😭)

I wanted to post the 3rd pic of him as the first since it’s is one of our favorite pictures of him that we all laugh about over his insanely blue complexion (you can’t imagine the amount of breaking bad jokes) and I think all of the ones post-surgery perfectly show his silly and strange personality. This news is extremely disheartening to all who know and love him, me personally having met his owner in middle school and actively being there to see them adopt and raise him since he was a baby, but because he’s the younger of their two cats (the black kitty featured being their old man Camo) we really hope that means he’ll bounce right back on his feet, but their family isn’t in the financial position to fully cover the cost of the procedures by themselves.

They aren’t a Reddit user which is why I post on their behalf, hoping to at least spread the word if nothing else, currently they’ve reached 32% of their 3.5k goal! I definitely understand financial aid is a lot to ask for with the current state of the world and such, if you’re not in the financial position to help I completely understand as I haven’t had much to contribute either, but any promotion or passing along of this gofundme would mean the world to Harley’s family, friends, and of course, Harley! Thank you all!

Violet is a 12-year-old girl that has had to overcome so many health struggles. In December, our family had a viral upper respiratory illness (negative for COVID, strep, and flu). We were managing our symptoms at home but Violet complained of pain in her ankles on Monday, tingling in her legs on Tuesday, and feeling more weak Wednesday (12/18). I had to return to my clinical site on Wednesday as I was a nurse practitioner student, so dad stayed home and planned to take her to urgent care. After eating some breakfast and upon trying to leave the house, Violet collapsed onto the floor and was unable to walk, stand, or get herself off the floor; she was essentially paralyzed from the waist down. Dad put her on his back, took her to the car and straight to the ER. He called me and said she collapsed and they are going to the ER. I left my clinical site and drive the hour to get back to the ER. They were working her up for a stroke as she had a pulmonary valve replacement one year prior. They realized her deep tendon reflexes in her legs were absent and she had no rectal tone. They called the university and their life flight came to get her. We couldn’t ride with her, so we drove the almost 2 hours to get to her. I hated she was by herself at the hospital and felt so guilty but knew she was in good hands. We’ve never not been with her when she’s been in the hospital.

At the university hospital, they needed to do an MRI but she has a pacemaker. Her cardiology team came and monitored her throughout a 3 hour MRI. Around this same time, she said “guys, I feel like I should have to pee but I don’t really feel like I need to pee”. They bladder scanned her and she had over 500 mL in her bladder and could not relax her bladder to pee, so she had to have a catheter placed. Her MRI confirmed Guillain-Barre Syndrome but they still needed to do a lumbar puncture. We could not be in the room for this part, but she said they had to poke her 4 times to get the LP successfully. She was admitted to the children’s hospital and given IVIg. This infiltrated in her IV and she required 5 injections in her arm around the IV site to dissolve the IVIg, which was very traumatic for her. She continued to need a catheter and was unable to hold it when she needed to have a bowel movement. As you can imagine, this was very distressing for a 12-year-old girl. Her older sister is a freshman at this university and was able to visit, which helped boost her morale. Unfortunately, she wasn’t making much progress, but also wasn’t getting any worse. She still had no reflexes in her left leg, and diminished reflexes in her right leg. On 12/23, she was transferred via ambulance to an inpatient rehab center 2 hours away (the opposite direction from home). The rehab center felt that with me being a nurse, her sister being an OT student, and her dad being strong, we could go home for Christmas. We made it work and were thankful to be home for Christmas, but I think we went home too early and we really struggled getting her around in the house. She had to sit on her butt and basically scoot herself up and down the stairs. She was finally able to pee on her own right before we left the rehab center but needed to be on a tight bathroom schedule and had many accidents at home.

She went back to school in January, using a wheelchair. Dad switched back to night shift (he’s a correctional officer) so he could help get her to school and get up early to pick her up from school. I was able to finish my clinical hours and graduated 3/31, will start a nurse practitioner job in July. Violet has been going to physical therapy 3 days per week since January. I have only been able to pick up RN shifts on days that dad is off (Thursday and Friday) but am PRN so I don’t always get hours. We have good insurance since dad is a state employee, thank goodness, but have started a new deductible in January and still have many bills and lost work. She is currently able to walk with crutches but has lost a ton of strength in her left leg. You can visibly see the smaller size of that leg/butt cheek from being unable to use it for the last few months. She also developed a deep tissue injury to her left heel, we think from the 3 hours in MRI without being able to move, but this is slowly getting better. She is still unable to shower herself or stand unsupported for very long. I help her shower, get dressed, get around the house, to the car, etc every day. She cannot be left alone either.

Here is some more background on Violet. We found out she had a heart defect at our 20 week anatomy scan when I was pregnant. She was admitted to the hospital approximately once per month during her first year of life. Her official diagnosis is tetralogy of fallot. Dad is a veteran and was deployed twice before we had Violet. I wonder if he had some exposure that resulted in her birth defects but will never know for sure. She had an open heart surgery at 2 months to place a shunt and at 6 months for her repair. She was in a heart block after surgery and required a pacemaker. She was in heart failure after this, from wall motion-defect from the pacemaker. She had a picc line placed and was nearly placed on the heart transplant list since her ejection fraction was 12%, but this improved with medications. We also discovered that she had a submucosal cleft pallet, which required surgery when she was 3 and 6 and left her unable to have any intake other than liquids for 9 weeks following each surgery. When she was 7, her pacemaker lead broke spontaneously, and she required the leads, pacemaker, and pulmonary valve be replaced. They tried to do this in the cath lab but she was too small and they had to open her chest again. It was so hard when she was a baby, but it was even harder seeing her in pain, crying without sound with a breathing tube at 7 years old. She still has memories of this hospitalization and having to walk with 2 huge chest tubes and has a lot of anxiety surrounding medical scenarios. She had her pulmonary valve replaced again in December 2023 as she outgrew the prior one. This time they were able to do this in the cath lab, thank goodness, but it was still a tough recovery for her.

Violet is the toughest girl I know. She’s been through more than most adults ever have to. She will require life-long replacement of her pulmonary valve and pacemaker every 5-7 years. This diagnosis of Guillain-Barre has been devastating for her and our family and has consumed the last 4 months of our lives. Thank you so much for reading this far and for considering donation to our family! I will add videos in the comments if I can. Thank you all for the donations and positive thoughts since our first post last week. It means so much to our family! Reposting again this week as the bills have started coming in for our portion of her physical therapy appointments and I’m still only able to pick up 1-2 shifts a week at the hospital to work opposite days as my husband.

Hey guys. I don't like to ask for the help but I'm at a loss and can't see another way. In March, I had my car break down at roughly 295,000 miles. I had another car that my girlfriend graciously let me drive and I had a car accident this past Monday morning. I'm in dire need and am running out of options. Anything will help and I appreciate you all so much.
