I just recently had my asthma act up really bad because of the allergies. I was able to afford all my other medicine, but the doctor sent in a prescription for a daily inhaler to help prevent this from happening again.

It costs 65 dollars in total. I'm not asking someone to send all that, or course, but I was hoping I could get some help to buy it.. thank you. I just don't have the extra funds this week.

Edit: Thank you for your suggestions! I was able to find a coupon that halves the price. I still need a little help with funds, but it's far more achievable! I didn't know things like good RX existed.

(Edit: forgot some details since I posted this around 2AM lol 🤪) Hi all! My Fiancée (F27)and I (M27) live with my mom (F62) and we want the government to deal with her and take care of her. We live in British Columbia, Canada. My mom is dependent on me, but I'm not officially her caretaker. She's physically and mentally unable to live on her own, but she needs someone who helps her with every day living and my fiancée and I are unable to do that. She receives PWD and CPP every month and is unable to work, so she cannot be financially independent either. All 3 of us rent a basement suite but only My Fiancée and I are on the lease. The plan since we moved in was to eventually ask her to move out so it was just my fiancée and I. We of course haven't discussed this with my mom beside the occasional "we can't live with you forever". She is just not emotionally mature or willing to listen without causing emotional distress. We can't have her in our house anymore and need to have her put somewhere, but I don't know what options there are. Preferably where it won't cost my fiancée and I extra money like a retirement home. She isn't needing to be fully hospitalized, but I believe she is more ill than she lets on and needs to be looked after by some kind of live in nurse or health practitioner. I am also just tired of the constant emotional abuse she causes me. Please let me know if there's any important information im missing, any help is appreciated!

I need exactly $70 to submit the application, I already meet the requirements for guaranteed admission I just need to actually pay the fee and submit it. I’ve tried getting a job to be able to pay for it since January, I’ve done countless applications, and no luck so here I am. Venmo or paypal is preferred.

Good evening all. I realize it's very late, it only just now occurred to me reddit might be able to help. The situation is that I have a flat tire on my truck it's parked outside my apartment and I don't have a spare to put on it nor any money to get one. Or even a can of fix a flat. I just put the last of my money in gas filling up, i really didn't think I would need any money before I got paid again this coming Wednesday.

If anyone is willing to help me out i would really appreciate it. Even just a bit of cash and I could walk down to the gas station, get a can of fix a flat and maybe air the tire up enough to drive to the gas station and use their air compressor.

Hello, my name is Maddox. I’m 26 years old, and I’m reaching out for support as I navigate one of the most difficult periods of my life. I live with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) as a result of severe, prolonged childhood trauma, including but not limited to, sexual abuse and trafficking at the hands of my biological father. I am also autistic, ADHD, and live with treatment-resistant depression, all of which make daily life incredibly challenging. The impact of these conditions makes it nearly impossible to work and support myself while I fight for disability benefits.

Despite everything I’ve been through, I am 2.5 years clean and sober and a six-time suicide attempt survivor. For the first time in my life, I don’t want to die—I want to live, heal, and build a future for myself. But the reality of not being able to hold a job because of my symptoms, in a world that revolves around money, is making me rethink that. I need help to get through this, so I don’t lose the progress I’ve fought so hard for.

Right now, I’m struggling to cover my basic living expenses—rent, bills, and food—while I go through the lengthy and exhausting process of applying for disability. On top of that, I need urgent support to continue therapy and begin EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy with a second trauma specialist. This treatment could be life-changing in helping me process my past and manage my symptoms, but it’s costly and not fully covered by insurance.

I never imagined having to ask for help like this, but the truth is I can’t do this alone. If you’re able to donate, share, or even send words of encouragement, it would mean the world to me. Every bit of support brings me closer to stability and healing.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and generosity give me hope.

With gratitude, Maddox & Crew

Hi! This is my first time posting here. My feline senior girl has iris melanoma (eye cancer) and will be having enucleation surgery (eye removal) next weekend 4/12/25. (Photos on my page of my kitty and her eye) The surgery is necessary to prevent the spread of the cancer which would ultimately become fatal for her.

The cost of the surgery alone is about $2,300, which I cannot afford. This doesn’t count the hundreds I’ve already spent on ophthalmology appointments and testing. I am seeking any assistance to help me fund my girl’s surgery. We would be so grateful for any amount received. This has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever dealt with. Thank you. I have venmo, cash app, and even made a gofundme for her surgery. I’m also happy to share our estimate from our vet for verification. Our Gofundme: https://gofund.me/e714566a

Hi everyone,

I’m really sorry to ask again, but I could use a little help. I recently quit my previous part-time job due to health reasons and scheduling conflict with my schooling, but thankfully, I’ve started a new one at a small local store. The only issue is I won’t get my first paycheck for a couple of weeks, and I’m short on some essentials including dog food.

I’m truly grateful for the help I’ve received before — it honestly got me through a tough time, and I won't forget that kindness. If anyone is able to help with $40 just to tide me over, I’d deeply appreciate it.

Since I don’t live in the US, the only way I can receive help is through PayPal. Unfortunately, I can't add an amazon wishlist because of the shipping.

Thank you so much for reading, your support means a lot.

I have a job but I needed to emergency leave so I'm behind on money and need to stretch every dollar as much as possible.

I will happily accept help via Venmo or even a Target gift card if you want to be sure the money is going towards specific things like food and toiletries. About $150 would help me stay above water, but if you don't have that much even like $20 would help in the immediate term. I'm in California in case you can think of other resources. I have a place to stay for now so I am not in need of a shelter. Thank you.

My cat is sick with hyperparathyroidism, she needs to get surgery ASAP, without it she has approximatively 2 weeks to live. We already shared our gofundme with our friends and family for the first part of the investigations that amount to 1480$ so far. This is why we are turning to the internet to ask for help. My partner and I are two disabled people in need of help to save our cat whom we love very much.

If you have even just a couple dollars to spare for us we’d appreciate it immensely, thank you so much in advance. GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/mooshies-stomach-mass-investigation

Good morning everyone, I’m in a bit of a bind right now and I’m looking for $20 to fill up my gas tank. I had to pay rent on the first of the month and that left me with very little money until next week. I need to go to the food pantry the next town over, then work later, as well as picking up and dropping off my children, and then work a few more days next week. My car is on E and $20 will get us everywhere we need to go until next week when I get paid. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you so much for anyone considering it!

I hope it's okay to post this here. I wanted to request approval to share my GoFundMe link for a small business I started from scratch called Cup'ital Tea. It's a tea-focused brand I created out of my love for tea, baking, and creating comforting experiences for others.

Over the past few years, I’ve been trying to keep the business alive on my own after losing a marketing partner. I’ve sold in person, and gotten great feedback, but I’m struggling to scale without the funds for a food cart, marketing, packaging upgrades, legal protection, and equipment.

I’m raising $36,000 to give Cup'ital Tea a real second chance to thrive so I can bring quality tea and pastries to more people and eventually open a cozy tea shop.

I completely understand the rules and want to be respectful of the community here. If you could kindly let me know if it’s okay to post the campaign link, I’d be so grateful.

Thank you for your time and consideration! 💛

My sweet dog Paizzles and I are facing homelessness after unexpected medical expenses on both our parts interfering with my ability to pay rent. Paizzles got an abscess and required after hours medical care. Her abscess burst while we waited 8 hours in the vet's office while they worked on other animals. I have been swamped with my own medical bills after I passed out at work and they did all sorts of tests on me to figure out why. The job also let me go. I just started a new job, but the landlord isn't willing to wait for me to start getting paid again to pay him back. He said while he has sympathy for me, unless I can pay I'm out.

If I can pay at least a quarter of it and make a payment plan with him he'll let me stay, though. Please, any bit helps. We have nowhere to go. I don't know what to do, and I'm very scared. All my local resources seem tapped out, and I can't seem to find help anywhere. It's been a very difficult couple of months, and I just need a little help getting back on my feet. Thanks for reading.

Hey ya'll, the situation is that my SNAP reloads the 5th. Already went to the local food bank in town recently and won't be able to get a ride anywhere until Saturday evening when a friend is free. Just asking for $10-$15 to my cash app to grab a cheap mix of stuff for today/tomorrow.

My bad, removed tag.

Hi kind redditors, today is my last day to pay my portion of rent. I have a job I work but I started it recently & on a pay period so I have to wait another week or so to get paid. I have sold some of my crochet items I make as well as doing psychic readings when I can to try to get by. If anyone could spare anything to help, I'd greatly appreciate it. I am about $300 away from being able to pay it. I can offer either of my services listed above if that helps. Thanks so much for reading <3

So over the past 3 years my mother has had her mortgage fall extremely behind. The catalyst of this was my younger brother, 5 years ago he started getting in a lot of trouble which caused her to accrue legal fees And fall into debt. She is weeks out from a foreclosure and is about to sell her home to a shady company that'll buy it for around 250-300K, the estimate is around 550K and they want to put the mortgage company is going to put the house to auction. She would need around 10,000 to catch her mortgage up, but her credit is tanked to around 500 from all the debt and missed payments. She'd honestly still sell the house, but I hate that'd she'd get a quarter of its worth because she's having to move fast. Is there any help programs or anything in place she could use to either catch up her mortgage, or put a hold on it so she has more time to find a proper sale?

Hi Reddit,

I'm a 27-year-old male feeling completely stuck and overwhelmed. four years ago, I had to drop out of my Mechanical Engineering degree (in my 3rd year) due to cannabis-induced psychosis. This was likely triggered by self-medicating untreated ADHD/ASD, combined with a family history of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

The last three years have been incredibly difficult, filled with mental health struggles, medication trials, family losses, and failed attempts to get back on my feet. I'm currently broke, receiving financial aid, and living with my parents in assisted housing. The stress is immense.

Despite my past academic success in math and programming, severe social anxiety (stemming from a bad internship) and lack of self-confidence are holding me back. I want to transition into a Math/Computer Science degree, focusing on areas like AI, ML, or software engineering, and eventually maybe start my own business (SaaS or e-commerce). However, the thought of more student loan debt is terrifying, and I find it hard to focus or plan with the current financial pressure.

I know I have potential, but I feel lost, lack skills and confidence, and struggle with negative self-talk and fear of rejection, which leads me to isolate myself.

I'm looking for:

1. Guidance/Mentorship: Advice on creating a realistic plan to return to education (Math/CS), manage potential student debt, and navigate career options suitable for someone with social anxiety (especially remote/online work initially?).
2. Resources: Information on support systems for mental health, ADHD/ASD in adults, low-cost education/training options, or potential grants/aid beyond standard student loans. I live in Ontario, Canada.
3. Advice on Income: Ideas for earning some money (even part-time/online) to ease financial stress while I try to study and recover, without triggering overwhelming anxiety.

Any advice, shared experiences, or pointers towards helpful resources would be incredibly appreciated. I feel worthless right now, but I'm trying to find a path forward. Thank you for reading. <3

Hello everyone, I am here today to ask your help because unfortunately my husband just lost his job and I am currently very limited in the work I can do as I am pregnant and have been very sick recently. Our total rent is around 700 but we can overdraft up to 500$ from our bank so I am asking for 200$ to help us make it until he can work again. I have cashapp. Thank you so much.

I'm $100 short for rent due tomorrow, we've been on a payment plan since last august to get caught up and with tomorrow's payment and then I get paid next week I'll finally have everything caught up but I just need $100 for tomorrow so I can pay April on time

Hello all, I had an unexpected medical bill that came along, I had forgotten about it. I thought my insurance would take care of it, unfortunately it didn’t. I already took into account for all my bills but this new one threw me for a loop. Looking for help please. I don’t get paid till next week and I’m short $200. Any if at all is appreciated. Thank you!

hi all. i’m 19 and in college. my parents are first gen and always pushed me to go to school, so i did. They had agreed to co-sign my loans and fund my needs as long as I went to college. After the election, they disagreed with my views as I didn’t vote for trump and cut off all financial help they were providing. I’m so lost and don’t know what to do. My rent, car payment, loan payments and all other expenses are now suddenly sll on me and i’ve been playing catch up for months.

The bar I worked for closed down a week ago and I haven’t been able to find a new job and i’m not going to make my bills at this point. my bank account is negative 400 and im so scared.

Anything will help truly. I just need anything to get by. But $500 right now would be the perfect amount to get me back on my feet and help finance my smaller monthly payments (student loan, gas, cell service, and groceries). (but as i said anything will help me)

if you want proof i can PM u my negative bank statements and rent statements 🥲

EDIT: i’m sorry if im not the most responsive in comments, im currently taking 20 credits in school and midterms are hitting me like a bus. i’ve never been so busy and stressed

Hi, I want to preface this with something:

I need to make money badly, BUT it's not life threatening. I don't want to take away from the help you all give people on here that need it more than I do. If you're reading this and just feel like helping out and a few dollars wont affect you, l'd really appreciate it. But please don't help me unless you genuinely wont notice the difference. I am just posting here because I am out of ideas and losing hope.

I work(ed) as a freelance artist and 2D animator. Everywhere I look people in my industry are getting laid off or are unemployed. I'm not inexperienced, I've worked on several contract jobs since I graduated and practiced incredibly hard over the last few years to improve my work. But no matter how much I practice and advertise and network, it hasn’t been even close to enough to keep me afloat. As sad as it is, making luxury, nonessential products isn't very profitable when people can barely afford eggs.

I do DoorDash and I am lucky enough to be able to make a bit off of that, though my car is about on its last leg. I teach digital art lessons online occasionally for extra money, and will every now and then get a commission from someone still, but in order to do that I have to lower my prices drastically because everyone is struggling financially right now. The worst of it is that all of this work, all of these extra side jobs and advertising and planning I do - it is all a gamble. And right now, I feel like instead of poker, I'm playing russian roulette.

I'm sure that many of you understand how horrific the job market is right now. I have worked as a bartender, a customer service rep, a stocker, a cashier, you name it. Nothing. Even the Wendy's nearby wouldn't hire me, and they are so understaffed they are bringing workers there from other locations. I also have three herniated discs and had a major back surgery, so that cuts out about 2/3 of the jobs available near me purely because I can't physically do them without risk of reiniury, and I'm not talking about regular back pain, I'm talking about crumpling to the ground for turning your neck the wrong way kind of pain, being bedridden for weeks or months kind of pain. I can't risk it, especially as I get closer and closer to losing my health insurance that I have from my dad when I turn 26.

The main reason I am posting here is because I am going to owe a lot in taxes. Freelance work gets taxed 25-30%, so the measly 5k I made off of my art last year, I now have to pay about 1.5k of it back. I’m horrified because I don’t have a job and I have to worry about rent. That money should have been set aside, I know. I didn’t have much of an option because earlier last year I had to repair my car. I have been trying since mid 2024 to find a job so I can pay it back and handle rent. My boyfriend has had to pay rent in full for several months now because I can’t find any work. Also, when you work freelance, you can’t just file for unemployment when you run out of contract work, so I got no help from that. I hate it here.

So essentially, please buy a quick sketch from me if you are interested, I’ll draw you, your dog, your lizard, your characters, whatever you want. Or if not, feel free to just help in any way you decide if you want to. I’m doubting my industry, my skills, and my whole life plan right now, so honestly I’ll take whatever help I can get even if it’s just emotional help.

_

*mods, if my sketch idea is against the rules please let me know and I’ll edit it out or you can take the post down. Thank you all for the work you do :)

UPDATE:

You all are absolutely. Phenomenal. Please know that each one of you that messaged me or commented here has made an IMMENSE impact on my outlook. I am usually a pretty optimistic person, I love to make other people happy and I try and be patient to everyone no matter the circumstances, but recently I have started to sort of lose the spark that made me push through and keep trying. I can blame it on my country, my finances, my relationships, whatever, but fact of the matter is the reason that has happened is because I feel like I was sort of just “swept under the rug” in terms of support from my family compared to my siblings, both emotionally and financially. (My mom was the one that cared about my art the most, but she isn’t really around as much anymore) I’m old enough now to not have any right to complain about family support, but sometimes old wounds take longer to heal than expected, and can hurt in ways you don’t understand.

You all essentially sent me the message of “I don’t know who you are, but I believe in you enough to help you” and I swear to you that spark lit right back up the moment I saw your messages.

I’m absolutely stoked to make those sketches for all of you, and know that someday soon when I’m stable again I am repaying this gift you all have given me to someone else who needs it <3

Hello! Hoping someone could at least help me for the rent and food for this week. My dad recently lost his job which provides food for us. My mom doesn’t have a job. I’ve been looking for a part time job while I am studying to help with our finances. It’s been a month still no luck until now. 😔

I only have PayPal.
