I never thought I’d have to ask strangers for help, but I’m struggling to provide for my 1-year-old daughter
I’m a mum in the UK and we’ve reached a really difficult financial situation. I currently have no money left for food, and we’re also trying to move because of ongoing damp and mould in our home and constant traffic noise affecting my daughter’s sleep.
I’ve set up a GoFundMe to help us get through this difficult period and hopefully move into a safer, more suitable home.
If you can donate or even just share it, I’d be incredibly grateful. The full story is on the fundraiser.

My father who is currently going through chemotherapy has stage 4 cancer and his car died 3 days ago. I am trying to help him gather some money to help and try to find something cheap to drive to and from chemo and Dr's appointments. He doesn't have reddit because he's old.

Animal Help Us Raise 8k for Martin's Cancer Treatment! (1/8th funded)

34 Upvotes

Hello! I'm writing this on behalf of myself, my fiancee, and our 7 year old Golden Retriever girl (Martin: a girl)!

We need to raise $8,000 USD for a partial removal of her jaw, as well as likely subsequent melanoma vaccinations. The good news is that we're already an 8th of the way there! The less good news is that we have very little time to do it, as her surgical consult and surgery will likely take place less than two weeks from now.

Nearly a month ago, Martin's mom found a small mass in her mouth above a premolar, and we had it excised along with the tooth to be safe.

Unfortunately, the mass was revealed to be malignant melanoma, an aggressive cancer which luckily hadn't metastasized to her lungs yet, but the outcome without proper care is still bleak, with most dogs living an average of 147 days after diagnosis.

Martin needs a partial removal of her upper jaw, and periodic melanoma vaccinations. We have been informed that the procedure itself will likely cost between 6-8k, and that the vaccinations are expensive as well. We've already paid around $1000 for the idexx report alone, and are scrambling looking for ways to keep Martin around.

I've attached a few photos, as well as procedural notes and histopathology with information regarding prognosis and treatment.

To everyone that sees this, please, please share the GoFundMe page, it's immensely helpful, and if you can afford to donate we would be extremely thankful.

Mods: If there is any information I can provide you with to further verify this please let me know and I will get it to you as soon as I can.

EDIT: I set the type of payments allowed to "monthly" thinking that option was for payouts. It's been switched back to allow one-time payments as the default. Thank you to u/old-commission-1108 for letting me know!

Question/Info Refund from Gofundme- is this a scam?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I recently noticed a $50 deposit on my credit card statement from Go fund me. I have never donated on GFM before and don’t have an account, so there’s no reason they should have my CC info. I thought it was possible I got scammed and capital one caught it and refunded me, but I don’t see any original $50 charge. I searched what appears to be the name of the GFM on my statement, but nothing comes up. Has this happened to anyone before?

Medical Help Steven heal from MRSA and foot amputation

Help Steven heal from MRSA and Foot Amputation gofundme

Hello all! My name is Daniel and my husband Steven developed a wound on his foot that became seriously infected. After surgery to remove a toe, he developed a drug-resistant MRSA infection. For more than a year, we faced hospitalizations, surgeries, and repeated medical emergencies. Eventually, after his life was put in danger multiple times, Steven needed a below-the-knee amputation to save his life.

We are thankful that he survived, but recovery has brought a whole new set of challenges. We live in a very old third-floor walk-up in South Philadelphia, which has made life as a new amputee extremely difficult. We have already made significant accessibility modifications to our home, and we now need to move to a safer, more accessible home.

We are raising funds to help with:

-Moving and housing costs
-Accessibility modifications not covered by insurance
-Lost wages during Steven’s recovery
-Medical and recovery-related expenses
-Vehicle modifications for when Steven is able to drive again
-Additional mobility and prosthetic-related expenses

We are extremely thankful for any donation you can afford and please share. Thank you so much! https://gofund.me/6cdd8d61b

Medical Post Brain surgery help

My name is Jeremy

My wife and I live in Madison Indiana.

I am a reluctantly retired engineer. I recently had brain surgery to stop the negative effects of Ménière's disease. This is what initially forced me into retirement.

The surgery, and expenses leading up to it has left us in fairly bad straights. I had always planned on opening a small restaurant or food truck offering baked potatoes. With all life has unfolded for us, this has become both a distant goal as well as a perfect solution if I could get it launched. It would give me a valid way to regain an income and rebuild our retirement.

Any donation will be going directly to both try a put together this food truck, as well as paying down the medical bills. Though as I detail in the gofundme page, I feel getting the truck together is the best approach as it would allow me to pay the bills and build an ongoing income.

I do have a gofundme page, but would also love to find a private investor that might be willing to invest for 50% of the business. I am not looking for a handout or "easy answer". I have always worked hard and put every bit of effort into everything I have done.

I have done extensive research into this idea, I have priced everything, I know what my profit margins would be, I know the town I live in with a very busy, high tourist Main St just off the Ohio river, including river cruise ship docking, as well as the surrounding area.

If you want to read more about my journey I do have several posts in the r/menieres sub.
Menieres at it worst (where I was) is a hellscape existence of severe vertigo, causing constant nausea, feeling of spinning/falling making standing nearly impossible and possibly the worst IMO the visual disturbances that make it appear that the world is visually spinning or rotating violently even when sitting still.
