I’m a single mom doing my best to take care of my son, and recently my life was turned upside down. I had to undergo emergency surgery after a serious complication in my intestine. There was a gap that had opened, blocking food and liquids from passing through properly, and it quickly became life-threatening. Doctors had no choice but to operate right away.

The surgery was difficult, and recovery has been even harder. I’m still in pain and have been told I need time to properly heal before I can return to work.

As a mother, the hardest part is not being able to provide for my son the way I normally do. He depends on me for everything, and right now that fear weighs on me every day.

I’m doing everything I can, but I can’t do this alone.

If you’re able to help in any way—whether by donating or simply sharing this fundraiser—it would truly mean so much to me and my family. Every bit of support, no matter how small, makes a difference during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, support, and prayers. ❤️

I'm WD, my initials, and recently (3 months ago) my house burnt down. My family and I made it out fine, a few scrapes and bruises but nothing serious. Unfortunately, 4 of our beloved animals couldn't. The only animal that made it out, surprisingly, was our fat hippo of a dog who quickly jumped out the window with us.

We had two puppies; they would both sleep in a big, wired dog crate because they weren't trained yet and had a tendency to chew up our furniture. They died from the fire's smoke and were shortly buried in my Grandma's backyard once my parents settled at her place. There wasn't enough space or money for them to get cremated, so my dad made the decision to bury them.

We also had two cats. A couple of months before the fire, we had a stray kitten come up to our house, and we took her in. She ended up staying longer than intended; she was very playful and liked to climb all over everything. Our other cat was my old man; I had him since I was about 10 or 9 years old, and I loved him so dearly. He was loving; he would always purr and make biscuits every time I picked him up. They both died from the smoke as well, but they unfortunately didn't get a burial.

They've been in a little freezer box my mom bought after the fire, and they've been sitting in my Grandma's garage. They were kept in a freezer at the pound, but they wouldn't hold them for more than a week before they'd be tossed in the trash.

My mom and I wanted them both to get cremated, but we hadn't had the time or money. For reference, my mom is on disability and can't get a job, my dad works a job but it's only enough to afford food and gas, and I have no job as I was focusing more on my last year of high school. When we did have money, it was used on things my mom or dad needed to renew, like their licenses or getting things that burned in the fire. Especially with how much prices have gone up, we've been struggling.

So, when my mom gets her next disability check, she's going to use it on me. I need an ID, my license, and my mom needs to redo her tag. She wants to get a loan from the bank for the cats, but I want to at least help out and put less stress on her, especially from paying back a loan.

Anything would help, I just really don't wanna put any more stress on my parents as is, and the most I can help out with is this.

Hi everyone.
I’m a single mom from Ontario trying to help my little daughter get hearing aids she urgently needs. The cost is between $8,000–$10,000 which is unfortunately far beyond what I can afford alone.

She is a beautiful, happy little girl and all I want is to help her hear the world more clearly.

Thank you for reading and for your kindness ❤️

I started a GoFundMe, please help me reach it for my daughter.

In short, my boyfriend's father passed away a few years ago leaving lots of debts and my boyfriend paid all of those but there was the one he was unaware of. The debt on his mother's house. It is not enormous but they are in a bad financial situation because he is currently unemployed and his mother is on the minimum wage. He lost his job last year and he is desperately trying to find a new one but the situation in our whole country is not bright. Also at the beginning of this year he lost his younger brother due to cancer so they are still grieving.

Even a small donation will mean a lot. Thanks in advance.

Hello! My name is Geordie. I am a Black Trans-masc who is currently raising money to afford top surgery.

I will be paying for everything completely out of pocket because I do not have insurance coverage or family support to help with the costs.

For my own safety and privacy, I am not able to share photos of my face publicly. Even so, I wanted to share a little of my story and ask for support during this important step in my life.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much to me and help me get closer to my goal. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is also deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and support me.

Hi my name is Kirk, I am requesting help from anyone and everyone my wife has PPMS Multiple Sclerosis. I have incurred alot of debt to get her all the treatment she needs and she is finally on the road to recovery but at a great cost to my family. I am asking for help to cover the loans and the time off of work that I've had to take on in order to facilitate everything. I also and trying to pay for everything to keep my daughter busy our place running and travel expenses I am a carpenter and make the entire income for the family myself. I have hit rough times trying to cover everything and it's taking a toll on me. I just want my family to be ok and get back to 0 so we can start to live something of a normal life. But right now I don't see the end to these bills and just covering interest payment on everything is killing me. If I can get some help either with donations or even just people sharing it around to get it out there for the right people to see and help that would be greatly appreciated by me and my family.

I thank you all for taking the time to look at or read my post.

Sincerely

Kirk

Hello everyone,
My name is Moumen Mohamed Abu Nimer. I am 24 years old, from Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip. I am writing to you today not just to share numbers, but to share the reality of my family and a dream of education that I am fighting with all my strength to keep alive.
Before October 7th, I was a young man full of ambition and big dreams. I was studying Computer Systems Engineering at the prestigious Al-Azhar University. I worked tirelessly on myself until I successfully secured a contract as a developer with a company in Saudi Arabia. I felt I was finally on the right path to build my future and support my family as the eldest son.
In an instant, everything disappeared. The war completely destroyed my contract and my job. Today, I still have my laptop—it is the only piece of my dreams left with me—but I stand helpless against a bitter reality: there is no electricity or internet to run it. To study, research, or connect to the world, I have to go to local coffee shops that provide these services, which is incredibly expensive under our current circumstances. Even more difficult is that I want, with all my heart, to return to university and finish my degree, but I need to pay the accumulated tuition fees to make that happen. I want to study, and I want to get back to my education. Life can be so cruel when it deprives you of your most basic rights.
Today, I also find myself unable to provide for my family of six. My mother (52 years old) is a hardworking woman who sacrificed everything to raise engineers, and I am the eldest. Now, she is battling two chronic illnesses—asthma and high blood pressure—and we struggle daily to find her medication. My father (58 years old) is no longer able to work; his health has severely deteriorated after facing constant displacement and fear.
I see the dreams of my younger siblings fading away before my eyes every day:
* My brother Moataz (19 years old): His simple dream was to study nursing so he could help me support our family. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to register for his classes yet because we cannot afford the university tuition fees.
* My sister May (16 years old): The sweetheart of our home. She works hard helping my mother with the exhausting daily chores while trying to study, holding onto her dream of becoming a doctor.
* My youngest brother Mohanad (15 years old): This war has completely drained him. He has lost all passion for life, and we are doing everything we can to provide him with psychological support to help him heal from the trauma.
We are currently living in extremely harsh conditions. Our home was partially destroyed, and we have no stable source of food, clean water, income, or medication. Every day is a battle against hunger, cold, and fear.
I have launched this fundraising campaign as our only lifeline. It is meant to help me pay my university tuition and cover the internet and electricity costs so I can finally return to my studies. It will also secure my mother’s essential medical treatment, provide basic food and shelter for my family, and help repair what we can of our damaged home so we can live with a bare minimum of human dignity.
Any donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference, save our lives, and put me back on my educational path. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing our story—it might just reach someone who can help.
Please, do not leave us alone in this darkness. Your support is the hope we are holding onto.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏
Moumen Mohamed Abu Nimer

I have a lovely MSi Windows laptop that I use to draw, animate, edit videos I make with my friends, and play Windows-exclusive Steam games. I love the thing, but it has now broken. One of the hinges snapped off, and there are cracks in the casing. Worst of all, there's a huge crack in the display that cuts off half the screen and leaves the visible half stuttering and unusable. There are also some driver issues or something -- there's supposed to be a facial recognition login, but the camera won't turn on, and the h key and left arrow key just don't work, but those are minor grievances.

I've sent the laptop to MSi's North American headquarters, and should get information on repair costs within about twelve days. Unfortunately, money's tight right now (I've got about $285 in my account as I'm typing), and with each day I become more concerned that the cost will be higher than I can pay. Buying the computer in the first place took about $1,000. It feels crummy posting for help with my computer on the same site where people are begging for their pets' lives, but I could really use some money. Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone ❤️

I’ve started this GoFundMe to try and help my nephew Logan get the braces treatment he needs. Orthodontic treatment is extremely expensive, and I wanted to do whatever I could to help support him and my family with the costs.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much to us. Even just sharing the fundraiser can make a huge difference.

Thank you so much for reading and supporting Logan ❤️

Hello all. I am a 34 year woman old who spent thousands in schooling for HVACR and recently graduated top of my class. I have been working hard to make a name for myself and get my company going. It is my passion. Unfortunately I do not have a large outreach.

During this time I have faced some severe hardships. My best friend committed suicide leading me down a path of drinking to numb myself. I fucked up and last year made a legal mistake that is making it hard for me to secure employment at a reputable company. Which is my dream. Hence working for myself. I know what I do was wrong but my grief was immense.

I have also been facing poverty, struggling to pay bills, not being able to eat properly, and submerging myself in debt. I cry multiple times a week over money because it feels impossible these days to catch up and my support system is very small. I also struggle with autism and ADHD which do not help.

My family is very toxic and tumultuous and after trying for years to build a relationship with my father who physically abused me and locked me away in institutions beginning at age 14. He, his wife, and others have decided to disown me for speaking my truths about my horrible childhood. They claim it’s hallucinations, (even though there were witnesses and a CPS investigation), exaggerations, and that my multiple stints in mental facilities and legal problems from 14-18yrs where I experienced multiple SA, was the right thing to do. And I’m a liar.

By no means am I blaming my childhood on my reality, but we know it does have a hand in who we become. Despite multiple abuses and issues I am a very intelligent, independent, and well rounded woman. I have found my passion and would appreciate any help I can get. I do understand some people need more help that I but anything helps. I just want to achieve my dreams and live a comfortable life. Thank you if you read this. And even more so if you took the time to donate.

I want to build a room to get out of my parents' house luckily I was able to buy a land in installments, I'm looking for all the ways to get money, I have a job but I can't save much, I know there are people who need more than me, but I don't lose anything by trying
