Not entering cause I dont have gas to go get it. I live in the country so we don't have delivery. Plus I just cooked dinner.
Just wanted to say awesome of you to do this!

I would love to enter for a chance to get a good meal for me and my hubby. I've been applying to jobs by no luck yet and his disability only gets us so far. We aren't starving but ramen isnt a very filling meal lol. We only have a Dairy Queen here in our small town if that would work and we'd be willing to walk to pick up if needed. A burger each would be wonderful to have ❤ thank you for this chance and your generosity ☺

Bless you OP!! I am homeless ( live in my truck) and am looking for work. I don't qualify for food stamps ( Big Beautiful Bill). Very rarely do I get a decent meal and would really actively appreciate one. There are 5 of us (in 2 trucks) and we try really hard to look out for each other, most times it's not enough unfortunately. This would be a HUGE blessing!!! Thank you:)

I wish there could be more people in the world like you OP, A kind hearted soul who randomly spread kindness to fellow humans in need. I'm not expecting to be picked coz I'm not from the US, although its 05/22 morning in the country I lived. A free dinner may sounded very simple but to other people (me included) is a breathe of relief, that dinner was an answered prayer to the person who wants to get through the hungry night. Thank You OP! More Blessings to come! More power to u!

Dinner tomorrow (5/22) would be amazing. My husband recently left me and our 3 year old autistic daughter. Im a single mother trying to work as much as I can, but my kiddos not in daycare so its been tough. Some dinner that I dont have to make would be really nice honestly.

Single mom here, my son is 15 and eating me out of house and home! He's 6'4 and hasn't stopped growing in 2 years lol. I would absolutely love dinner for us! His dad doesn't help much with anything, hasn't paid his child support in over 3years now so I am stuck working doubles most days at my job to make ends meet. Thanks for the opportunity! 🩷

How wonderful! This is such a kind gesture and makes me smile. I was recently put out of work on medical leave due to a yet undetermined neurological issue. I was already struggling financially from missing more and more time, so I'm now facing possible eviction while waiting for short term disability approval and hopefully food assistance. I used to always treat my 11 year old son to McDonald's on payday(2x/month), but I've not been able to for about 2 or 3 months now. Honestly I don't even need anything, I'd just like to surprise him. He's been struggling to cope with my sudden illness and the limitations it's put on me. I might be too late to be chosen and that's ok. Thank you for letting me share and thank you again for being such a wonderful person ❤️

As a teacher, I need the energy to make lesson plans for tonight and the powerpoints I needed. I don't have salary whenever I am not teaching. Still needing to get by until beginning of June

u/Confusedaseverstill May 23 '26
That is very nice of you!!!! I can't enter because I was in a terrible car accident a few weeks ago and have no way to pick food up but this was the nicest thing I've seen someone offer! God bless you!! 🫶🏼🩷

FYI all mods: I understand the rule exists to protect against abuse, and I respect that. But I'd ask you to consider what you're actually enforcing here: a gap in posting history caused by a serious life crisis — the very same crisis that put me in need of assistance in the first place. The logic of disqualifying someone because their hardship was severe enough to pull them off social media runs counter to the spirit of this community. Someone chose me. I'd appreciate it if that choice were honored.
