For a little bit of context we don't have a vehicle right now as our truck broke down and we had to sell it cause my husbands work was closed down permanently from bankruptcy, so we couldn't afford to have any maintenance done to keep it driving. We are behind on bills and don't have any family nearby to help is get to the grocery store.

I just need a little bit of cash to order baby aspirin to help manage my blood pressure. I am 28w along and at risk for getting pre-e again due to genetics. My son is also running out of milk. If we could order aspirin and milk we will be ok for right now.

I have venmo and Amazon

Request granted! Thank you!

Ive posted on fb groups in my area and I’ve tried to do surveys to get enough money to cash out for formula and nothing has worked. I work full time, bills are backwards but paid. I don’t have any money. I’m happy to show whatever proof necessary.

Me and my wife decided to get a dog, we are both dog lovers with experience in large breeds. Our rescue pup is 18 months old we rescued her at approx 5 weeks old as she was left abandoned she is a bullmastiff.

She is fixed, well trained and very obedient however every time my wife is on her period she will nip, snarl and her behaviours will change towards my wife and my youngest daughter. It seems to be only females and it is only when my wife is on her period.

I spoke with a trainer and with his advice we would redirect her scent and when she would sit calm we would reward the behaviour however it doesn't seem to be working. My wife is due her cycle again and recently started medication to stop the bleeding however it doesn't change the scent, myself my wife and kids were at dinner our dog was laying in the livingroom and suddenly she sprung up and leaped over the baby gate knocking my daughters highchair (thankfully she was not in the highchair). And latched onto my wife while she was holding our daughter its almost as if she believes my wife is hurt or something I've owned large breeds and have never encountered this before.

I managed to get my dog off my wife and got her out the room. My wife now wants to rehome our dog but she is a really good dog its just when my wife is due to bleed/is bleeding during her cycle. And although my wife is heartbroken about it she says we have tried everything and can't risk herself anymore because that was a "close call" for both mt daughter and my wife and I do understand her. But shes 18 months and deserves another chance I believe. Is there something we are missing? Is there anything else we can do i know my wife's mind is made up and she is heartbroken and says she feels guilty but our daughter comes first.

Has anyone here experienced this? If so is there anything different we can try

I have 5 letters on the Sandboxx app that I will not be able to use, so I'd like to donate them to someone that currently has someone that needs them, for their service member.

I have custody of my 9 yr old niece. She came to me with nothing. At a time in my life where taking on a kid was a huge financial strain. Her parent are not/have not been supporting her in anyway, but I’m managing to make it work but things are extremely tight.

Her parent pulled her out of school in the 2nd grade to “homeschool” her. The real reason was to dodge DHS involvement. It blows my mind no one checks on these kids when this happens.

She’s now in the fourth grade but at a first grade 5month in spelling and math. She’s way behind. She’s going to be out of school the next 9 days for fall break and I’m hoping to get a subscription to IXL for math so we can work on her math skills while she’s out.

I was hoping someone could possibly sponsor her for a month in math only. It’s $9.99 if you’ve purchased it before or $8 if you haven’t. My checking account is
-$16 right now and i don’t get paid for another 2 weeks.

Hi all.

I'm from a small city in an east European country.

I'm asking for help to make it to my first payday at this new job I'm starting.

The situation is as follows.

Three years ago I had a decent minimum wage job working remote for an outsourcing company with many different departments for customer support roles. But eventually they got rid of the remote teams so I lost it.

I had some saved money at the time, that together with selling whatever electronics I had bought during the time I had that job has helped me last some time. But as time went on and I failed to secure a stable job with a contract, it became harder and harder just to survive.

Contributing factors to why I've had a very difficult time finding a stable job are: chronic health issues that prevent me from being in public most of the time (genetic skin condition with cosmetic effects that make me unhireable for face to face jobs, that's why my work history is a series of remote jobs, altered lung development which leaves me unable to do extensive physical work, and others...), having no higher education, no driving license/car (can't afford it), living in a small city with very limited job openings (remote jobs are my only hope at getting one, but they are extremely hard to find these days due to automation) ...

The positive news is that I actually managed to get approved for a remote interpreting role for general public institutions of another country that needs native speakers of the language of my country and my english is rated at C2, I'm lucky that it looks like this job can't be automated (at least for now), as it deals with interactions of a sensitive nature that government regulations don't allow automation to handle it.

But the setback and the reason I have to ask for help anywhere I can is that this job will pay me for the first time in 60 days and that's too far with where I am right now with being behind many months with the bills and having no money for food.

Fortunately, where I live, the cost of living is not so bad that it leaves me in a position beyond help. Where I live minimum monthly pay is $600 (this is NOT what I'm asking for, it's just a number to give an idea of the cost of living where I am).

I can give exact numbers for what I need help with and how much:

I managed to get approved for a split payment for the 6 month behind light bills (the reason they allowed me to have it for so long before sending me a notice of end of service unless I pay is because thankfully I managed to reduce my power usage significantly under the average usage), so I would need to pay 2/4 parts of the older bill total sum and 1 new bill in order to not lose service in the next 60 days, which amounts to $50

One month of internet access which will last for two months with the one month grace period to pay that the provider offers, that being $10.

For the water bill, I'm behind 6 months (they haven't cut it because the way water service is set up where I live, they can't turn off service individually and I'm the only one behind), if I could pay at least 3 months here it would give me some extra time before I get in trouble with the neighbors even more, that is $60.

And last, food money (the city where I live is extremely small, the government has very limited food assistance programs that I don't qualify for because I'm neither a very young child nor a very old person), so at the very minimum possible, I would need around $100 to get daily food consisting of some apples and corn flakes which I can get by with as I don't have cooking and cold storage equipment.

So the total of power, internet, water bills and food money to allow me to work and last me until the first payday is $220.

I know that $220 is not nothing anywhere/to anybody, but that is the difference between me having one chance at starting to get back on my feet or losing even this job I've finally managed to be accepted for, (I can't work at this job without power and internet service at home as it is a remote job).

I live alone, I have no living family members, I wish there was another way, but I have no options but to ask anybody that I can ask for help.

Please, if you can help, you can try to contact me for whatever details are needed, the easiest way to help would be paypal I think.

edit: fixing spelling, also I forgot the "of" in the title for "In need of help..." but I can't change that now, sorry about that

I've been struggling the past couple weeks between my job screwing up putting in my hours from when our systems were down to missing a couple days on top of that while being out sick with COVID. I'm mainly just looking for $15 to pay my phone bill and at least keep that on, but anything extra towards groceries would also be nice. My wife is already planning groceries for us and our son, but I want to be able to chip in. Plus the kid eats like he's got a black hole in his stomach. Thanks to anyone in advance, I'm willing to dm chime, cashapp, or venmo details.

Hi everyone,

I never really imagined I would be making a post like this, but I’m in a situation where I could genuinely use some help.

My father passed away earlier this year, and since July I’ve been dealing with the financial consequences of his death. A large part of the credit card debt I’m carrying came directly from paying for his funeral and burial. I didn't have the money available at the time, so I had to put those expenses on my credit card.

Since then, I’ve been rolling the balance over every month and making payments whenever I can, but the interest keeps adding up. I’m essentially paying every month without being able to make meaningful progress toward clearing the debt.

The total amount I’m trying to raise is $2,000 USD. I know that’s a significant amount, and I absolutely don't expect one person to cover it.

Losing my father has been difficult enough emotionally, and having this financial burden hanging over me every month has made things considerably harder. I’m just hoping to get to a point where I can finally pay off the debt from his funeral and burial and start moving forward.

If you can contribute even with one dollar, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you can’t, I completely understand. Even taking the time to read this means a lot.

Due to payment limitations in my country, I’m only able to receive donations through PayPal. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, and I truly appreciate your time.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I hope you are well. I am a 22 year old female, and I am in need of some assistance to get to work this month.

​To give you a little backstory: I've been an intern at an IT company since the beginning of this year. I worked mostly from home starting in June, so transport costs weren't too bad. The pay was very little, but it helped me so much to sort out my health issues. I was offered a permanent position on Tuesday, and I signed my contract and sent it through. It was one of the happiest days for me because I've worked so hard to get this position (Thank God!!).

​As a permanent employee, I am required to go to work every day, no more working from home. The thing is, I will only get paid a proper salary at the end of October, leaving me with the small salary I earned as an intern. Fuel prices are going up again next week where I'm from (South Africa), and I don't know what to do about fuel for transportation for the rest of the month. I already spoke to my manager to ask if I could get a portion of my new salary in advance, but the company does not do that.

​I am in need of $70 please to travel to work for the rest of the month, and it would mean so much to me if I could get assistance. This is my first actual permanent job, and it would change my life 🥺🙏. ​I have a PayPal account.

​Thank you for taking the time to read this!
