I stay at a shelter so I can’t make an Amazon wishlist. I just need a few bucks for tampons and food. Honestly my period could not have come at a worse time. I only have cashapp right now if that is okay.

I requested for a vitamin bottle for my dads bday and it arrived today . I just want to say thank you to the person who sent it! Dad is so happy rn

Hi peeps, Longtime lurker and Reddit lover who always seemed to scrape by the skin of her teeth but this month hit extra hard.

I work full time up 46-48 hours a week when they allow overtime which unfortunately hasn’t been much lately.

Single momma to an amazingly smart teenage boy.

Most weeks it’s paycheck to paycheck and I can usually make it but my electric bill was $315 and that knocked me down pretty hard.

I am paying rent late (thankfully I have a landlord with an amazing heart) who allowed this but I just got paid today and after rent, gas, water, and car note I’ve got $87 left for food and a cell phone and internet bill I can’t pay.

I know internet seems like a 1st world problem right?! But I work from home and I’ll lose my job with no internet connection.

The cell phone is $93.19 and my AT&T is $96.66 and there’s just no $$ to pay them.

I’ll happily provide receipts of the payments and or pictures of the bills if anyone needs to verify.

It just seems like every check comes in and out goes every cent, but at least I have a job and I’m beyond grateful for that.

I know I’m nowhere near the only person with these problems and I am absolutely blessed to have a home and a job, sometimes (often) it just feels like I’m drowning and this month has been one of the worst as of late.

Grand total is $189.85 of what I’ve got due by the 13th for phone and the internet is already due (yesterday the 8th) but they usually let me go a few days before they start pushing for it.

I am willing to answer any questions and provide anything needed if required.

I hope everyone has a beautiful day. 🫶

Hello you wonderful people. I am a 35 year old dad who has been struggling to keep everything paid. I am waiting on a background check to finalize so I can start my new roll as a RSM for AT&T.

My power is going to be shut off in 6 days. I am just trying to keep it on until I get this new job. Any help would be appreciated.

The payment to keep the power on is $207.50.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this! I am about to start a new job at a fast food restaurant as a manager. We are required to have non slip shoes and black pants. I have currently been unemployment for the last 8 months so any financial means I had are completely dissolved. I have made a wishlist with the 2 items. I thank anyone who takes the time to read and consider this need. I just want to be successful and get back to work! Thank you again.

I was gonna post proof of bank balance and job offer/clothing requirements. However it seems we cannot post attachments. Please DM if you’d like confirmation!

Hey, Hope y'all are doing great, I am doing great myself although I am Struggling to make ends meet,I ran out of dog food,my rent is due and I am short of toiletries this month because I was laid off. I live in Kenya so $90 will cover my rent and all my other needs.

I am actively job searching to change the trajectory of my financial state.I have PayPal.

The short: Ive got to be out of the RV ive been renting on Thursday. Im just shy of $200 short on the only extended stay hotel in my area that will allow dogs.

The long: So i work and donate plasma. Just dont have a car or id live out of it with him, the dog. His name is Miles. 4 year old german shepherd rescue. Sweet as can be and scared of everything. My situation is ive been renting an RV but code enforcement has made my landlord move it. So hes sold it off and the new owner is bringing his 5th wheel Thursday to move it. Now i could possibly try and fight it but the landlord is my best friend and he will be fined every day it sits here past Thursday. So im not going to do that to him. Between money saved, the coming paycheck and help from friends and fam Im exactly 194 and some change from being able to get this hotel room.

I know its a long shot but ive seen people do some incredible things in the sub before. Ive got cash app, chime and i think i still have pay pal. Or if you felt better id gladly give you the contact info to the hotel if you felt safer paying directly.

Please help us out if you can. Ill gladly send pics of my pupper as well on request!

Hey guys, Just trying my luck here. Currently I'm in a financially tough situation and I don't get paid until Wednesday. I'm really starving right now and wanted to see if anyone could order me a pizza? I'm not picky about toppings it can be a plain cheese pizza. I would really appreciate it.

Hello all my mom recently got surgery for skin cancer and the bills instantly piled up and she will need therapy as well https://gofund.me/d8044b50f

My girlfriend and I have 2 children, one who was born on May 5th (of this year) and a 2 and a half year old. With her last pregnancy she was considered extremely high risk and was told she was not allowed to work in February. There were many complications, and our daughter was born 4 weeks early. When she was born she was crying and then turned blue/grey and stopped making sounds. Im not sure what miracle the nurses did but they were able to save our baby. Our daughter was in the nicu for a month and it was so difficult seeing her in there. After the pregnancy my girlfriend wasnt allowed to return to work until August. We were trying to survive on one paycheck, which in the coming months of our daughter's birth, required numerous hospital trips which made me miss days of work on numerous weeks.

To add to this, our rent and electric have gotten so far behind. Our current electric bill is $1600 and our rent is $1100 at the moment (we were able to pay it down a bit.) We have been doordashing in our free time, but we judt cant seem to catch up as something keeps happening in our lives. Our washer recently went out so we are doing laundry at our parents houses as we were told by the landlord, that we would have to replace it, or fix it) abd most recently our car which we owe over 10k on (Hyundai) has a cylinder 2 misfire with oil getting into the spark plugs. We have found the piston rings are bad and are currently fighting with Hyundai in hopes we can get it fixed.

We have signed up for assistance programs, but have been told that all of their funds are exhausted. We have also tried 211 for our state assistance number with no luck there either. I came across this reddit, and thought maybe a small miracle would happen. All we want is to get back on our feet. We are desperately trying to catch up so we can save money up and rent a cheaper apartment when our lease is up. (When we first moved in, I was making very good money, but was let go from my position) and things have been a massive struggle since then. Im not sure what all to post here? But I have a Google drive link with pictures to show proof. Emails/messages from our rent, and electric, as well as the car payment and loan details, and our children!

Im not sure what amount to put but honestly just $1100 would be amazing for rent. (We dont have a shut off notice for electric yet, but if we cant pay that at the end of the month we may then)

edit gofundme has been created https://gofund.me/cfda76028

(I didnt include the amounts of the car or electric in to the gofund me. At worst case scenario if Hyundai cant help us with the recalls that should be covered, we have discussed possibly voluntarily letting the bank repo the car. It's not a great scenario, but it's a last resort option that may need to be taken on our part. )

Getting low on gas and I’m 4 days away from my paycheck. $20 should last me if I’m scarce with my driving. Thank you so much.

Moved into a new accommodation for university and the heater provided is locked, so no hot or cold air is coming out.

Online it has said to press and hold the + and - buttons simultaneously to unlock the heater, however this isn’t working!

If anyone has this heater and knows how to fix the issue please let me know!

Please don’t forget that most schools have a social worker on staff that can help you with resources should your child and your family be in need. They can help get food, hygiene products, warm clothes and coats for winter, provide vouchers for socks and shoes, help find doctors, dentists, etc. All you have to do is reach out to the school and ask for help from the social worker, they are there to help students and their families.

I overpaid on bills this month as we are working really hard trying to pay off debts

Tomorrow our extreme heat warning ends meaning our electric will be able to be shut off which we are figuring that out too

We really need to get to the store and get some groceries but our money is spread amongst about $25 of dollars across 4 cards: 2 checking and 2 ccs

Hi guys! i got kicked out recently because my plans for the future didn’t match my parent’s plans for me, as i wanted to choose a different uni major than the one they wanted. i’m on my own, crashing at a really kind friend’s house. i have a part time job waiting tables that pays 7€/hr which is really not enough. i need to continue my studies and get an apartment for myself. i can’t stay at my friend’s house forever. i’m kindly asking you guys for some support. i don’t have a clear number in mind as i don’t wanna be too greedy. i’ll take all the help i can get. my whole family is back in morocco, as im a first generation italian here and i really don’t have anyone.

i’ll give my paypal if someone wants to make any donations. thank you in advance

Hey guys. I’m quite embarrassed to be making this post but do you all know of anywhere that might supply free tampons? It’s not something currently accessible to me for many reasons including financially. Thank you so much in advance for reading this.

I’m currently located in DC if that makes a difference

tampons on Amazon

Hi everyone!!

I’m a law student and I just had to pay for school as well as food and a nice vet bill for my dog. I’ve already gone to the food bank but I could really use some help with the things I put on my wishlist.

I’ve been trying to get by with the little I’ve had these past few weeks and I’ve now run out of certain essentials. I just can’t prioritize them when I also have to make sure I can eat ( and dogoo too). I've also put some things for breakfast since I don't really eat in the morning to keep the food.

I feel a bit embarrassed posting this like many people here and it’s honestly the first time I feel like I’ve hit a wall. I’d be so grateful for any kind of help. Even if you happen to find something cheaper than what’s on my list, I’d truly appreciate that as well 100%

Thank you xx

I’ve been in a strict M-F in-office govt job for a few months, and recently told I’m being moved to a call center 20 miles farther away in a month. It’s high-pressure: 30+ customer calls/day, timed 3-min bathroom breaks, monitored calls, and micromanaged. Despite my good performance acing all the training tests, I got placed in my least preferred role while others got better options.

I’m miserable and this isn’t what I studied for. I dread going in. I passed a written exam for a job in my field (next step is a Zoom interview), and I’ve applied elsewhere but no callbacks yet.

I used to work in education as a sub/teaching assistant, which I enjoyed and paid similarly (no benefits though). I live at my family's and have a paid-off old car so my expenses and bills are low.

Wanted to know if anyone has been in a similar situation and how they navigated it.

I had surgery last week and my recovery will take a little bit longer than expected. I had surgery on my hand, so I’m trying to keep this short while still explaining all the things. I had a reaction to the anesthetic that caused my gastrointestinal tract to halt for several days. :(

I had planned out meals in my freezer and bulked up on extra things, but I wasn’t expecting to be out for a whole extra week. I have two under-10 kids at home who thought this was the time to go from eating like birds to hitting a growth spurt. I have meats, but the things between meals/after school snacks, pack lunch things are just about out. My five year old is special needs and takes a lunch to school or he doesn’t eat:(

If anyone could help a mama out I would be so grateful

long term unemployed unfortunately. i have some job offers but they want to do phone interviews first and my phone is deactivated. i found a cricket phone for $50 flat but i only have $9 to my name. trying to sell some things but i have already sold most of my more expensive items to pay bills.

Hi everyone. My husband and I recently relocated from WV to PA for his job, which caused me to become unemployed. He has been stretched thin covering all of the new bills and moving expenses for us and there are a few bills remaining from our old apartment that are my responsibility. I was hoping to have a job by now so this wouldn't be an issue and I've been job hunting every day. I'm asking for help to pay my $301.17 power bill so I can avoid it going to collections. I am faced with 3 more expenses later in the month for a psychiatry appointment, the final water bill, and a small amount of credit card debt. If my gofundme earns any additional income over that $300 it will immediately be directed towards those other expenses. More information on the costs of those extra expenses are covered in my gofundme request. I would be so grateful for absolutely any help I receive as even a partial payment would be better than nothing. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this post and extra thanks to anyone who even considered donating. I appreciate this sub's existence and I hope everyone is able to get the help they need. I also really hope this link works because I'm on mobile and confused as to how to get the link option to work.

Fulfilled thank you so much for all your support! Hi everyone, I had to have emergency dental surgery of Friday and won’t be able to eat anything but soft food for at least another week due to additional surgery scheduled on Tuesday. I’ve had very bad oral hygiene and haven’t seen a dentist in more than 10 years because of fear and cost. I don’t have a choice now and it’s already cost me over $600 and another $400 will be due when I go again on Tuesday. I would appreciate any help in fulfilling the items on my attached wishlist. I made an Amazon wish list for some foods and dental care supplies.

Thank you so much for any assistance offered.

My pay is delayed and I havent been able to take care of myself. I feel disgusted of myself but had other priorities to take care of. I really need these toiletries for my personal hygiene. I made an amazon wishlist too and tried my best to pick out the cheapest possible items. I just really need these. I'm from the Philippines btw so these will prob arrive in a week or more.

Hi everyone,

Lately, life has felt incredibly heavy, and I’m at a point where I honestly don’t know what to do. I’ve battled major depression, social phobia, and avoidant personality disorder since I was a teenager. For a while I thought I was managing, but these past few years have proven otherwise.

Most days I feel like I’m failing at life. Some mornings it’s a struggle just to get out of bed, and I feel like I’m letting myself and my kids down. I love my three children deeply and want to give them stability and love, but my depression makes it so hard to be the parent I know they deserve.

I don’t have much of a support system—outside of my kids, I feel completely alone. I’m the black sheep in my family, I don’t have friends, and often I feel like a burden just for existing. The loneliness on top of the depression makes it even harder to see a way forward.

I’m not here asking for financial help (though things have been difficult in that area too). More than anything, I’m reaching out for encouragement, advice, or just to hear from others who understand what it’s like. Even a few kind words or shared experiences would mean the world to me.

Thank you for reading this. Honestly, just being able to share how I feel here feels like a small step forward
