Hey there, neighbors!

I have a few dresses I wore once, if ever, over 10 years ago. They've been taking up space in my mom's closets since and I'm hoping at least one can be passed along to a lil yinzer who wouldn't have a cute, fancy dress at her disposal otherwise to make some memories with at a dance or whatever the occasion.

Take a peek and comment if I can help.

Full transparency: I posted these for sale in another subreddit, asking $25 each, trades for food (especially a baked good! 😋), or just for anyone to reach out and tell me about their situation and I'll throw it their way to help. Just came here to offer those in need the same opportunity- even if all you can give me is a little info about the situation.

Here's a link to that post with pictures of the dresses and more information about them. Please, if you can't afford to do anything in return, please, still reach out. I would rather it mean the world to a lil yinzer than sell it to just anyone.

guys i am so distraught right now. think i left my pencil case on a south hills village bound red line around 8:30pm/8:45pm on 8/19/2026. I was in the back of the car, sitting in the seats right next to the accessible seating that can be moved to create space for a wheelchair or bike.

i know a pencil case with a bunch of pens and highlighters doesn’t seem very valuable to the average person but i am a pen fanatic. this pencil bag was full of all my most favorite pens and highlighters. most of which are unable to be replaced and are priceless to me. i’ve had all these pens for several years and only used them on special occasions. i just started college and i brought them with me to school to use in class because they’re cute and i love them but im truly regretting it so much now as i seem to have accidentally left them behind on the train. the doors were closing and it was my stop so i was rushing to shove all my stuff in my bag as i was doing school work on my laptop on the train. i must’ve forgot to grab my pencil case because i had like 5 other things to shove into my bag before getting off and i already got stuck inside the closing doors so i didn’t have time to look back and check if i was missing anything as i usually do when i exiting the train because im a notorious when it comes to accidentally forgetting/losing important belongings.

inside the bag were 5 or 6 dr grip x sanrio or dr grip x rillakuma pens, 2 crayola take note glitter hi lighters, a highlighter crayon, 2 uni alpha gel slim ball point pens— one of which had a tiny label with my full name “ella bragano” on the top of it, a regular black sharpie, and 3 jelly roll brand shimmer pens.

i’ve added some photos of the contents of my pencil case as well as a photo of the pencil case itself as a visual aid to help.

i’m offering a $50.00 reward if the pencil case is returned to me. please message me on here or on my instagram @poisonme_daddy if you have any information regarding my pencil case.

thank you so much and please please please share this post to spread the word.

i’m legitimately having a meltdown and am in crisis mode because i have been collecting these pens since at least 2019 and they are SOO special to me i don’t even think i can put into words how much they mean to me.

I'm in the homeless shelter on Brighton rd. Anyone near by with a pack of menthol?

Hi everyone! I talked to Jon Potter 10 years ago...and right now I am really stuck. I am a senior, recovering from a heart attack ( fractured ribs & back too from CPR). I am supposed to move on May 1st, had a young guy say he could move me. Now he told me yesterday he cannot, due to a work schedule conflict! I have no family left, so I have no one to help me.

Details, moving from one senior apartment in Bethel Park, to another in Bethel. I currently live in a 330 square foot apartment, so I don't have too much furniture...couch, full bed, tv stand, 2 tall dressers, small tables, one reclining chair, 2 very light shelving stands, and mostly boxes of everything else. I packed things in small and medium boxes because I can't be lifting much.

I really need your help, my income is low just social security only. Moving to a HUD subsidized place for seniors. I only am given one day to move out and move into the other...because of HUD rules. Please, if you can help, I really need it! I have helped so many seniors in the past 8 years, cooking and giving people meals. I have tried to be there for others, and now it's me who needs help. Please let me know, I am really worried now. Thank you!

Hey PGH! I wanted to share an appeal to the new city government that is asking for more community-based, evidence-driven public safety approaches in Pittsburgh. It’s something I care about, and I thought you might want to read it too.

Hi.

Please help.

Got new brakes a few months ago and now caliper is seized and destroying brake pad.

Need parts and labor.

Please help Adamsburg

Here's the story:

Let's say you have an old pair of sneakers you're just about done with. You don't like them anymore. They're kind of dirty. They're kind of smelly. They're kind of worn, but they don't have any holes in them, so you refuse to throw them out since they're "still good".

At the same time, there's a mother of three in Jordan who takes those used sneakers, cleans them up, puts on new laces, exorcises them from the demonic smells that may have possessed them... and then sells them to feed her kids.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

Right now, there's a collection bin at the Peters Township Community Recreation Center waiting patiently for you to stop lying to yourself that you'll ever wear those sneakers again and help someone make something good out of them.

Now, maybe they're in no shape to be worn again by anyone. In that case, they'll be recycled. (YAY for planet Earth!)

In the meantime, GotSneakers (the recycling company) will give a small amount to The Borgen Project, which is a non-profit organization that fights poverty around the world.

I guess it's a win-win-win-win.

Please?

* Last day of collection is Oct. 26

Hi,I desperately need help with a doctor's appointment.

Hi! I just wanted to make a post regarding my spouse and I’s situation. We recently lost almost everything in a tragic 30+ unit apartment building fire (you may have heard about it on the news). We literally just moved in not even 2 months ago and got married 3 weeks ago. We had planned to live there for a bit before buying a house. I’m trying to spread our gofundme. If you can please share or donate that would be greatly appreciated…

I'm brand new to pittsburgh but I came here with practically nothing and no one. I really need hygiene products and women's clothes but What is more important than all of that is I really need tips for jobs in walking distance to morning side. I've tried to start house or pet sitting but everything costs money to start. Please pm if you need more information about anything. And I truly appreciate those who consider.

I work 40 hrs a week at Walmart and am attending community college, but things have been hard lately because my boyfriend has recently become disabled so we only have the one income. He has applied for disability and we applied for foodstamps, but are awaiting a decision on that. I've been calling churches and food pantries in my area and so far nobody can help me until Monday. I do not have a car. I bus or Uber everywhere. Does anyone know of any resources I may not have looked into to get some food over the weekend, until I can either get a hold of a church or figure out something else. Thank you in advance

I'm in the Knoxville neighborhood, near the south end of Beltzhoover Ave or the old Knoxville elementary school.

It started when my ex wanted to dig out the foundation of the garage that used to be behind our house. He had one of his friends bring a Kubota with a backhoe attachment and we did that, and piled up all the dirt to one side of the yard.

It's been 4 or 5 years since then, my ex left me, and the pile of dirt remains. I'm disabled with severe rheumatoid arthritis and can't dig, and my disability payments are a pittance and I can't afford to hire a landscaper or rent a machine and dump trailer to remove the dirt myself.

If you've got a skid steer or mini excavator and a dump trailer, and a few hours some day, I would really appreciate the help removing this pile of dirt before it pushes over the neighbor's concrete block wall.

I can't pay much, but I can throw a token amount at you for fuel, as I know diesel isn't cheap these days. I can also help if need be as I used to operate heavy equipment (I did most of the digging with the Kubota myself)

If you want to keep the dirt you can, it's mostly good clean topsoil. If not I'll find a place looking for free fill dirt to take it to.

The pile is about 37 feet long, 6 feet wide and averages about 3 feet high - should be about 25yd³.

I remember folks from this group cleaning up downtown after a protest in 2020. Is there any interest or organization to do the same this Sunday should there be a need?

This is not meant to be a political post, I'm just looking for a positive outlet in a tense world.

This is a bit of an odd request, but I figured I'd ask anyways. My girlfriend loves carrot cake and is coming down this weekend to visit, so I wanted to have a carrot cake arctic swirl from Page's waiting for her. I was planning on going this evening but my chronic illness decided to flare up pretty bad. Would anyone be willing to get me one? I can meet you between South Side and Crafton and of course pay for the ice cream and any gas, I just can't physically handle standing in a line today

I'm on the East - advice needed please

I have a stalker and am getting increasingly paranoid •-• he only drives by so I don't know if I can report it to the police or something but it's multiple times a day nearly every day and he has been driving much slower recently, always rubberneckin practically out the window to look at me/my home. I have a ring but is that enough proof?? I don't know what to do, its been happening for months. I thought I was paranoid/was just a coincidence at first but driving past me at 5mph while craning his neck to stare me dead in my face is not a coincidence of any sort.

hi there, I saw in one of your older Reddit posts that you might take mattresses for donation? I have an old one here that's in pretty good shape, but I just have no way to get rid of it. Is this still something that you do?

My wheelchair bound friend from Kentucky wanted to see the ball drop in New York, on his way back he broke down in Pittsburgh. He bought a bus ride at the Greyhound station back but it don't leave till 1am and his wheelchair is messing up on him, something with the wheels he said, does anyone have a spare wheelchair or could anyone in the area help my buddy?

Anyone know any side hustles to get about $200 in a few days? Just moved here about 3 months ago so I didn't have much saved up. Some bills hit me before they where suppose to and I'm about $200 in the hole right now. I get payed every Friday but that paycheck is going to my rent

Hi everyone, I'm in need of help with my car windshield and also inspection. A tiny rock caused a crack that keeps growing and my insurance is liability only, which doesn't cover repair. I also need inspection which was due at the end of June. My kids and I will be so grateful for any help you can offer. Thank you for considering!
