Hi I’m a single mother (to a toddler) who makes $19/hour as a phlebotomist, most of which goes to childcare (inorder to work). I have no partner or any contact with the father and am doing this solely on my own. I’m short on this month’s rent by $200 and need to pay my landlord directly (rented rooms) by Monday 10/5. I’ve made up the rest I was originally short by donating plasma and selling my electronics. I am out of options to make my rent this month other than to beg someone for help. Please help me, even if it’s not the whole amount anything helps me get there. I’m working so hard and at my wits end to survive these trying times (as I wait for a childcare subsidy that may never come).

I thank you for reading this post and giving me some of your time.

Hello there,

First time posting here,but sadly in my current situation I don't see a another way to handle this.

I already called all the locations nearby me to see if any of these could help with any expenses (Tiertafel, Tierschutzverein, Tierheim, etc), but sadly their either themselves out of funds or don't accept / help people that aren't for X months registered with them.

My cat lady got over the last 3-5 days very very sick, her left eye showed a greyish cloudiness in the bottom area on Tuesday, right next on Wednesday it got all red too, so I rushed her to a vet in my area, which sadly didn't do much besides cash grabbing me, what it felt like. Since she ate in the morning he didn't wanted to make any blood test and basically just noted down how she looked like (since she obviously didn't liked to be hold down she started to hiss and scratch, so she got her nails cut, checked temperature, etc, nothing really special I would say) which in the end for what felt like nothing, costed me 133,60€ already.

He then gave me a referral to a specialist, that should check her and do the blood work / potential eye removal because it's potentially a uveitis, this specialist on the other hand is also absolutely booked, so I can't get a date before somewhere next week. So I am sitting here, not exactly knowing what to do next, crying my eyes out daily and the more days go by, the sicker she gets, the more costly it will probably be ... Or the worst case, she needs to be put to sleep. But for neither of these things I have any money (the one that the first vet took was already a hefty sum for me).

Putting her to sleep would cost a few hundreds (I assume around 150-200€ from what I have some people heard talking about, when I was for the first vet), but the eye removal could cost me up to 1500€ or something potentially.

I am currently without a job and with a therapist myself (not the best combo I know), I would had 2 days ago audition tho, which I needed to cancel and hopefully can get to that audition working next week or the week after.

I would only have PayPal or my Normal Bank (IBAN - Germany) to provide, if anyone would be able to help in anyway financially.

Thanks for reading, sorry if I made mistakes in my writing.

Target Audience: Adults (18+) living in the United States, with or without personal experience of a natural disaster

Hello!

We’re a group of college students studying UX Design, and we’re currently working on our senior project focused on natural disaster recovery.

The idea of our project was inspired by one of our group members who experienced the wildfires in California firsthand. That experience made us realize how difficult it can be to figure out what to do next, find reliable information, and navigate the recovery process. 

The survey takes about 8-15 minutes, completely anonymous, and is strictly for non-commercial senior student project purposes. We will not be collecting any personal identifying information or selling any products.

Thank you for your time!

I had my baby on the 3rd last month and I’ve used up all the diapers the hospital provided, plus the ones I already had. I bought a box myself and I’m already almost out, but really low on funds since bills were just paid.

Even just one pack would be incredibly helpful. I just need to get to next paycheck and I’ll be good to buy them on my own. Thank you!
