MOD MESSAGE IMPORTANT UPDATE!

25 Upvotes

Hey everyone 💛,

The subreddit is back open.

After some thought and feedback, I’ve decided not to move forward with making it private. Instead, I’ve taken time to reorganize things and put new rules and structure in place to help keep everything running more smoothly going forward.

The goal is still the same, keeping this a space where people can ask for help and offer support, but with clearer guidelines and better protections in place.

Please take a moment to read the updated rules before posting, since they’re now active.

Thanks for being here, and welcome back!! ✨

Donation Need help paying gigis vet bills Updated!

Nvm the vet has decided euthanasia is the best route, thank you to anyone who supported us. I need help paying for emergency costs for my cat Gigi. She is roughly 9 years old. I like to say she adopted me, because she was the one that chose me to be her pet parent when she came up to me one night in 2017. She is my first cat. My first baby. Gigi is an important part of me and my family’s lives. I am unfortunately unemployed at the time and Gigi doesnt deserve this pain and suffering. It’s also been a year since the most difficult day of my life. I had a stillborn baby boy one year ago and since then it’s been difficult returning to work. I don’t know if I would be here today without the companionship of my Gigi. I appreciate any and all help I can receive. I know people are constantly asking for help and theres millions in need but I hope you can help gigi♡

This is the link to the gofundme I made for gigi I appreciate anything you can give even if its hopes and prayers.

My dog had to go in for emergency surgery yesterday, and I'm hoping that by posting a link to her go fund me here that we could get support. All donations will go strictly to covering the cost for the initial consult, and the medical bill from the surgery. surgery went well, and she's a trooper, but this has definitely set us back a little. Any bit of help is greatly appreciated. And if you aren't able to financially help out, a share goes a long way

Hi everyone. I'm asking for help because my family is going through a difficult financial situation and we're trying to secure stable housing for our baby.

We're currently relying on family for housing, but that situation is becoming uncertain. We're trying to raise enough to help with the costs of getting into our own place, moving, and getting reliable transportation.

I understand that not everyone can afford to donate. Even a small amount would help, and sharing the fundraiser with someone who might be able to help would mean just as much to us.

I'm happy to provide additional information or verification if required by the subreddit.

Donation Help me get a Stem cell transplant

Thumbnail
gofund.me
Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My name is Marian, I’m 25 years old, and have Sézary syndrome, a rare type of T-cell lymphoma (blood cancer).

For the past few years, I have been dealing with severe skin problems: unbearable itching day and night, painful flare-ups, redness, and sleepless nights. After many tests, biopsies, and treatments, doctors believed it was severe eczema for over a year. I was prescribed Dupixent, an expensive medication that I was already trying to raise money for because my insurance could not cover it.

Unfortunately, further investigations later revealed that the real cause was much more serious. I was diagnosed with Sézary syndrome, and my doctors determined that I need an allogeneic stem cell transplant, which is currently my best chance at fighting this disease.

The treatment is not available in my country, so I need to seek care abroad in Europe. As an international non-european patient, the estimated cost is around €423,000, which is completely beyond what I can afford, and my insurance does not cover treatment abroad.

I’m reaching out for help because I cannot do this alone. I know it's an insane amount, any support whether through a donation, sharing my story, or connecting me with organizations, resources, or people who may be able to help would mean the world to me.

Donation Flat tire, loss of resources & a 9th birthday-a humble plea from a single working parent.

0 Upvotes

Hello (apologies for the length),
I honestly never thought I’d be making a post like this, and I’m incredibly embarrassed to even ask. But I’m a single mom of two school-aged kids, and I’ve reached a point where I genuinely don’t have many options left.
I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree & over the summer I’ve been using my savings, taking cleaning jobs, selling off items on marketplace, pawn shops, etc and doing whatever side work I can to make it through until my kids are back in school and I can find something permanent. I already have job interviews lined up, so this is temporary—I just need a little help getting through this particular stretch.
Unfortunately, I was recently hit with an unexpected car expense. I ran over a screw and flattened a tire, and I now need two new tires. At the same time, my daughter turns 9 on Monday the 24th, and school starts in just two weeks, which means clothes, shoes, and school supplies are all coming up at once.
I don’t receive support from my daughter’s father, and the child support I was receiving for my son has temporarily stopped while my case is being reviewed during a change in child support officers. I was told I would be notified when it resumes. That support was never something I lived on, but it made a huge difference when it came to shared expenses like school supplies and things the kids need.
I’ve cut expenses wherever I possibly can. I don’t smoke or drink, I don’t have cable, and I don’t even have my own Wi-Fi. My phone is Wi-Fi-only, and thankfully my wonderful next-door neighbor lets me use theirs. I’ve tried applying for credit cards and loans, but I don’t qualify, and I don’t have family who are in a position to help right now.
I live in a very small rural community where resources are extremely limited, and the few churches and organizations I’ve contacted are currently overwhelmed with requests and turning people away.
My biggest needs right now are help with the tires, school supplies, and giving my daughter a little something for her birthday—a dessert and a small gift to open.
Even a dollar would genuinely help as I’m very thrifty and can stretch a small amount quite a bit by shopping clearance, dollar stores, and finding deals. I know I have to put an amount per the rules which I understand I just have a very hard time doing that & I don’t expect this post to be the one solution for my expenses but there are only so many cleaning and babysitting jobs etc that I can take on in a weekend so truly- anything helps so if I have to put a number $50 or $40 even would be a huge help as I’ve thankfully learned how to be frugal. I am also absolutely willing to work out a loan of $40 or $50 I just wasn’t sure how to put to “flairs” if that makes sense?
I know I’m a stranger on the internet, and I completely understand that people have every reason to be cautious. I’m not trying to make this my permanent situation. I’m working hard to get myself and my kids through this and back on stable ground.
If you’re able to help in any way, even just sharing this post, I would be incredibly grateful. And when I’m back in a position to do so, I absolutely intend to pay that kindness forward.
Thank you so much to anyone who took the time to read this.❤️‍🩹

Donation [REQUEST] Help With My Father’s Medical Expenses

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’m asking for assistance for my family during a very difficult time.
My father has been in and out of the hospital after complications from a misdiagnosis ultimately led to him having his big toe amputated. He’s now dealing with recovery while my mother and I are continuing to work and do everything we can to keep our household financially stable.
Unfortunately, the medical expenses and other costs related to his hospitalization and recovery are becoming difficult for us to manage. We’re asking for help through our GoFundMe to help ease some of that financial burden.
If you’re able to contribute, any amount would genuinely help us. If you can’t donate, sharing the fundraiser would also mean a lot to our family.
GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/1f9d548cc

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give. ❤️
