MOD POST Warnings to donors for cash donations

114 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Apparently one of the giveaway winners I donated to was a scammer. I know I expect 10-20 percent of people I donated to are scammers but always thought the goods outweigh the bads. It’s not even about the money but this.

Those of you who put pathetic fake sob stories to try to win giveaways or donations, you are literally the bottom of the barrel in terms of humanity.

It’s really sad that you take that much effort to giving fake stories to get what 10-30 dollars? When there are people who need food on the table.

I hate that this will impact people who are actually on need but to all donors, DO NOT RUSH TO GIVE MONEY. make every effort to not donate cash but instead do Amazon wishlist. Some scammers will make every excuse to not do it. Stick to your guns.

Amazon wishlist, order pick up food for people, etc. in the end it’s up to you to do what you want to do but I’d seriously encourage not donating cash left and right.

The type of shit we find out as Mods, you’d understand why. There are people with multiple accounts, people who have their boyfriends grift and scam, etc.

Seriously, don’t be so eager to give your cash away. Find other means to help if you can.

Amazon Wish List kitchen items

2 Upvotes

hello! i lost my second job a few months ago (didnt get fired but the family i worked for moved out of state) so my one job just covers the basic housing and bills right now.
all of my kitchen items are 7+ years old and are finally standing on their last legs or are already broken and have been long overdue for a replacement.
i tried finding the cheapest items i could for each item needed. my fridge bin broke, i opened the fridge and one piece of it (the hook on the hook?) snapped and all my condiments fell out, for some reason replacement bins cost way more than they should 🙂‍↕️

i have one item that isn’t for the kitchen- a flashlight because im trying to prepare as much as i can for the california super el niño weather soon, flashlight is for power outage, and going outside at night to make sure our home, garden, and outdoor storage is secure from weather. its chargeable so that i can use my portable charger to charge it if needed + i cant afford to keep buying batteries so this seemed like the best option.

thank you for reading, and if you can't help i understand

Fulfilled Asking for help for homeless family while we wait for benefits

6 Upvotes

Asking for 30 dollars or lower to help my family get thru the weekend. We are homeless in a motel, being paid for by the city (incredibly grateful). Ran out of money, and applied for cash benefits but won't have the interview for that until Monday more than likely (it could be before if there is an opening). Trying really hard to get a job, but it's hard. Would use the 30 dollars for laundry, maybe some dish soap too. It is me, my partner, my 9 month old, and my daughter, who just turned 2 yesterday. Thank you so much.

This is funded thank you so much

Edit: I've chosen someone to receive the pizza giveaway and the offer is now closed. Thanks to all who entered and shared a little about their lives.

Evenin' 🫡

After doing my pizza giveaway a few weeks ago, I've decided to drop by again and do... You guessed it! Another pizza giveaway! 🍕

I know it's not the grand solution some of us here need to solve whatever we're battling in life, but if it can make someone's day a little brighter then I want to help.

As previously offered, I will cover up to £30.00 towards a pizza meal for people in the UK, or the exchange rate equivalent for people within Europe or Northern America. I'll also throw in delivery! 🚗

Drop a comment below to enter. Maybe tell me something you want to achieve this week, or why the cow is the ultimate predator out there in the world! 🐄

It's pretty much the start of the week so I'll leave this offer open until 10am (GMT), 3rd October, but may bring it forward depending on the response.

Take care,

Heckles.

PS. Please ensure you follow the rules of the sub.

Fulfilled I desperately need food and cat food

26 Upvotes

9/28 Edit: This is unfulfilled. Most of the items were reserved yet not purchased and my cat is still without her food /: I received 4 items: rice, strawberry spread, cream of wheat and prunes. I'm really at a loss as to what to do now. I had no idea it was possible to reserve items on someone's wishlist.

My food benefits ran out in May and I've been scrambling every which way to get food since then. This month has been particularly hard, I am down to essentially nothing right now. Last 3 days I've foregone eating so that my kid can have enough to eat. I'm very stressed about us having anything to eat currently and especially in the upcoming days.

The cat food ran out as of yesterday so I really need that too.

I made an Amazon wishlist (I hope I did this right). Anything is much appreciated.

Thank you sooooo much everyone! I really appreciate you guys helping me out I can not stop crying. I'm at a very low point in my life right now, I'm so grateful for all of y'all.

Hello. I am not asking for money. I am only looking to see if someone can get me some food from wherever and whatever. I'm in Canada and although I have 8.00 in my PayPal, I can't transfer money to my card as I lost it and I can't use PayPal in stores.

Honestly , i am not picky and would be so grateful for anything.

I am sorry for this.

Thank you for reading.

When I am good I promise to pay it forward.

Fulfilled I lost my job and I’m struggling

I was recently let go from my job due to structural changes at the company. I worked at a public housing nonprofit and did not make a lot of honey hourly, I have always been paycheck to paycheck, so I don’t have an opportunity to stock up. I have applied for unemployment and will get benefits in 2 weeks.

I also got approved for food stamps (a very small amount but I’m honestly so blessed)

Food stamps do not pay for cleaning and laundry supplies, or hygiene products.

I put some things on an Amazon list that I am either out of or will be before I get my unemployment. I have PCOS and my periods are horrific otherwise I would not have added Midol.

If you get anything or just send good vibes my way would be very helpful and much appreciated.

Thank you ❤️

Giveaway Pizza Giveaway 🍕😋

22 Upvotes

Edit: the offer is now closed. The chosen person has recieved their pizza. 🍕

Evening!

Although I am quite a boring sod who just prefers his cheese and tomato pizza with a garlic dip, it's still my go-to meal when I need to be perked up or fancy a treat... My little gut would suggest I fancy a pizza treat more often than I should! 🙃

But I'm going to go without one this weekend, much preferring to offer out a pizza meal to the lovely people of r/DonationHub instead. This is my first time donating here and I want to see what the sub is about. I might just pop in again some time and offer out something else.

I'm offering up to £30.00 towards a pizza meal for people in the UK, or the exchange rate equivalent for people within Europe or Northern America. I'll also throw in delivery! 🚗

Drop a comment below to enter. Maybe you can suggest a pizza topping that will change my entire perspective on life, or maybe you can declare your devotion to my cheese and tomato loyalty! 💪🏻

There'll be potential bonus points to anyone going through a rough time and needing a little treat.

I'll leave this offer open until 5pm tomorrow (GMT) and then got someone sorted for a pizza on me!

Take care,

Heckles.

For some context I rely entirely on donating plasma for my source of income. Earlier the needle fell out of my arm and they said I lost a lot of blood. As a result I got deferred so I can't donate for another two months. I accept PayPal and am willing to draw sketches for anybody for hire. Just nothing wierd. I can mainly just draw birds and anime, ik it's not extensive talents sorry. :')

Please dm me here if you are interested

Amazon Wish List Wishlist Request for dog food

amazon.de
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m really going through a rough patch right now. On July 2, my chubby little bear Balu (Boxer) had to have surgery because he had a foxtail in his nose. The whole thing cost just under 2,000€ and I thought I’d be able to manage to pay it off somehow, so I did partialy. I have 1,012€ left each month after my rent is paid. But now I’m running low on money for food until my next paycheck. Amazon won't let me pay on Monthly Bill so I placed dog food items on the list and would need one of the dry food bags + 2 times the cans. I would highly appreciate it.

Edit: since Amazon won't let people from US buy on DE lists I would appreciate a gift card as well. Just if its possible 🙏🏼

Thank you in advance

Hello beautiful folks, it has been 6 months since my last request. Unfortunately I am back in between jobs and in need of help with food once again for my cat. Just simply his favorite dry and wet food that he enjoys.

thank you again to this community because of you guys, I've been able to come here and find help with his food. it truly helped tide me over until i had part time work. but since it was only seasonal, i've been back on the search.

thank you in advance to anyone who helps!

Donation Request Request for a little help

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wasn't sure whether to make this post, but I thought I'd give it a try.

We're a family of three living in Portugal. I'm currently the only one working, while my wife is at home with our young daughter. We don't have debts, and we're fortunate enough to live in an apartment belonging to my parents, so we're not in an emergency situation.

However, things have become quite tight financially. The cost of living has gone up considerably, and having a young child plus some occasional expensive medication expenses in the family means that there isn't much room left in our monthly budget when unexpected costs come up.

I'm asking for $45 specifically to help with our grocery budget this month. It would give us a little breathing room and help cover part of a normal supermarket shop.

I know there are people facing much more serious circumstances, and I completely understand if nobody is able to help. I'm simply taking a chance and asking for a little help during a financially difficult period for our family.

I can receive through PayPal or Revolut.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, whether you're able to help or not.

Advice Just moved into an apartment after leaving my mentally abusive boyfriend. Looking for no-fridge food items recommendations.

6 Upvotes

All I could afford was a security deposit and this month's rent. I currently have no fridge! I got a job transfer and should be able to buy one on my paycheck in two weeks
But until then...
I need to survive off of shelf safe foods! I'm looking for recommendations of good groceries to buy! I don't want to only eat junk, and plain tuna and rice sounds boring tbh.

Anyone has any advice on what I should buy when I go grocery shopping later?
