EMERGENCY!! PLEASE HELP!!

Please help, the utility is going to be turned off, we are very behind on bills and are disabled.
Please help, or we are going to lose our electricity!!

We(diagnosed Dissociate Identity Disorder, the 'we' thing is a habit) are disabled, and can't work.

Its been hard for us to handle getting money for awhile now, and normally get help from friends, but the past few months have been harder.

We are trying to get SSI, but its a slow process.
We got Food Stamps, thankfully, but the bills are still a serious situation.
We don't even have a social life beyond online, due to the body's disabilities.

We really need help... I'm sorry if this is a lot to ask, but its been such a horrible struggle that not only is the body sick from the stress, with a lot of sharp pains, but the main one of us who normally would be handling maintaining the body had a breakdown and needed a break.

I am desperate to get us some help.
Please... we really need the assistance.

I’m so lost. Credit card bills are going to ruin my credit.

I’ve had good credit for 10 years now. My ex boyfriend;the father of my child stole all of my the money I worked my ass off while pregnant to save up. He took my card and bought 2000 dollars worth of football cards, and 3500 dollars in paying his employee and atm trips and god knows what else. I never even knew because I was focused on my newborn. It’s insane. He’ isn’t involved in my daughter’s life and has pushed child support along for 16 weeks now.

I gave everybody the benefit of the doubt and believe people are innately good.

I ultimately left him because he put his hands on me in front of our child, and instigated a horrible fight pretty much trying to convince me I was worthless and should find a rope and a tree.

I’m on cash assistance, I have snap, and I am trying to figure out getting back to work with my baby’s super weird daycare schedule.

I was living off of two of my credit cards and I basically owe the amount that was stollen from me.

I’m not trying to be some weirdo loser beggar, I truly am trying my freaking hardest to get back on my feet , especially after having the expectation of what I imagined my daughter growing up in in the home that my ex of 5 years grew up in. We had conversations about financial obligations, and that I was going to be staying home for at least a year. Did I buy groceries and the oil bill and he is for the Electric and everything else he’s had to keep up with for years.

I’m 26 and he is 46. I got myself in a really shitty situation with the wrong man and my egg ripped out of my wallet. If there’s anyone out there with means, and I know everyone’s struggling right now; please help me because I don’t know what I’m going to do this month. My credit card bills are piling up and I’m terrified that it’s going to ruin our future.

I know I need to go back to work, and I am applying and calling every single one, but I just really have let my debt pile up and I genuinely need help.

Thankfully, my mom let me rent a room at her boyfriend‘s house, but I can’t catch up and I need to get us our own space.

I really am trying.My ex has violated me, my head and my body in every way you could possibly imagine and I feel absolutely ridiculous and small making this post but I’m going to attach my Venmo just post this at this point, I don’t know what the hell else to do. Im running out of diapers and I’ve been out of wipes for three weeks now. I just want my baby to have the best and I feel like such a failure.

I really am a person that has their head on straight and I’m not bullshitting anything that I’ve said or even myself.

I’ve never expected this to be so hard. I spent so many years of my life being told that my life is meaningless and that I will never amount anything and nobody will ever want me or love me, that I was just a sex toy, and that I was kept a secret from everyone in this dude‘s life because of our age difference just to find out that he was just hiding me because he was still talking with his ex for the first year and a half and then acted like he was single for the rest of our relationship.

I am usually not naïve and I’m usually not fooled by bullshitters, but he really did damage and I’m working so hard to get myself to wake up in the morning for me and not just my baby. I Feel like such a failure and so weak.

I will do what needs to be done and I really don’t anyone to actually send me money, Obviously. I just needed to get this craziness out of my head and b written out.

I have no idea how people do this along. I have help, because he would’ve genuinely killed me had I not left.

Ima sorry for asking. But here it is.

Tuition Help

Hello all,

To get to the point I am a second year nursing student pursuing a bachelors at a university that offered me great aid, I work as a CNA in the Trauma ICU at my hospital and have recently fallen on harder times. This past year I had been able to keep up because I had a car to get to and from work. This car no longer works and I am in a place where I need to purchase a used vehicle that requires financing especially because I need reliable transportation to clinicals as the program requirements are strict and one missed clinical can cost me my placement. I am a first generation student and my parents are not able to help me with college. I’ve already accepted both loans from FAFSA and I’ve even tried to get private student loans, but keep getting denied because I don’t have a cosigner. I’ve called my financial aid office begging, but they said that they’ve already given me the most aid and to look for private loans. The total amount needed is $1070. I only need help this semester so I’m able to purchase a car, pay the registration responsibly, and get more hours so im back on my feet. I’ve paid what I can and placed the deposit. I’m grateful for anything, good thoughts, kind messages, a prayer, even 10 dollars. I chose nursing because I truly believe in kindness and thrive off of the wellbeing of others. Anyone who stayed this long I hope you have an amazing day.

Legal Fight For Stolen Motorcycle

Hi everyone. I am getting pretty desperate to post this on Reddit.

My name is Brandon. I recently separated from active military service after 7.5 years as an Army Staff Sergeant (SSG) and disabled veteran. Right after returning from my deployment to Iraq, I bought an almost-new (1k miles) 2019 Harley-Davidson XL1200 Roadster.

Every vehicle I had owned prior was a beat-up 15-year-old car, so buying this bike was a major milestone and my primary outlet to manage stress after returning home. Shortly after getting it, I PCS'd to Vicenza, Italy. My motorcycle was locked in a government storage facility (Vicenza VPC) operated by a contractor. While secured inside that locked contractor compound, the bike was stolen.

The 3-Year Battle & Current Hardship

Because the theft occurred on a military facility, I was required to exhaust three years of government claim cycles, denials, and appeals before taking private action. The final Navy JAG Appeal determination (File No. J250422) officially denied federal liability, explicitly ruling that physical custody and legal responsibility rested on the third-party defense contractor operating the lot—International Auto Logistics (IAL).

Paying for a Ghost Bike: I am still actively making monthly loan payments to Harley-Davidson Financial on a motorcycle that was stolen three years ago under contractor watch. Transition & Health Struggles: I am currently unemployed, using VA disability payments to pay off post-military debt, and relying on VA disability while managing service-connected health issues.

Refusal to Reimburse: The contractor has repeatedly refused to reimburse my loss, forcing me to file a civil lawsuit within 24 days in Glynn County State Court, GA (where the contractor is headquartered).

What Funds Will Cover All donations directly support my ability to pursue full accountability and resolve this debt:

-Court e-filing fees and Sheriff service of process costs in Georgia Discovery costs and administrative legal expenses

-Case-related travel and logistics expenses

-Any excess funds beyond court costs will go directly toward replacing the motorcycle so I can put this three-year fight behind me.

I have never asked for financial help like this before—I am usually the one donating. Whether you can contribute, give legal advice, or simply share the campaign across military, veteran, and riding communities, your help means everything to me. Thank you.

Financial Assistance for Single Mom of Toddler

Can anyone give me some suggestions on assistance programs for single moms where the requirements are not solely income based?
All federal and government programs are based on income and on paper I make too much money yearly for those programs (40K). However, I am a single Mom, whose income doesn’t even cover my necessary monthly expenses. Between rent, utilities, car insurance, gas, and most of all DayCare, I can’t pay everything. I’ve already lost my health insurance due to nonpayment, which is a struggle because I have a chronic health condition, but it was either that or have my child kicked out of daycare for nonpayment which meant I wouldn’t be able to work and then not be able to pay any other bills.
If anyone has any suggestions of programs or charities or anything that might be able to help me, it’d be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Need some help

I lost my job 2 weeks ago and I’m actively seeking employment currently. This was my first job after college and I didn’t really have the savings for much of anything (entry level, high rent market) so essentially I was living borderline paycheck to paycheck as it was. I don’t have any family really to help me out financially, friends are also strapped. I’m $300 short on my student loans this month. I’ve been doordashing in the meantime to try to make ends meet but for the last 3 days I haven’t been able to clear $100 in the last 16 hours. I’m more so asking for advice on what I can do than straight up asking for a handout. Is there anyone who can help me? Thanks for reading.

Baby registry

As a first time mom, I have been struggling to get anything off of my baby registry. I just need enough to make sure I get everything sorted out. Me and my fiance have been trying to save the best we can, but we are young, and our precious baby wasn't planned. We need help to get on our feet just a little bit, because we know hospital bills will also be hell to take care of. It's so tiring worrying about how much we make and if we will have enough to support ourselves and our baby. I hope my story can get around to someone whos willing to help out, but I wont do anything in return. I know thats not necessarily how this works, but sometimes it can be. I can only hope and pray. 😮‍💨🙏

Is there still hope for me to get help? Because it seems like middle-class people in AZ want me to be a broke nobody…

I remember back in 2019 and 2020, I had a SD and a few friends that used to give me gifts and allowances.. it was like I was finally being understood and loved the way I always wanted to be. But then, it got different when I moved to my own apartment in 2022, I moved away from my toxic covertly abusive family and I felt better than I ever had in my whole life. I was confident, I had money ($100-$200 from each supportive people) and also gifts that made me happy with, and I felt like my life was finally getting better to the point I was crying tears of joy.. But things started getting messed up in 2023.. someone took my white miniature poodle, and nobody knows what happened to him when I trusted my brother to take care of him, and weirdly when I called, my brother was “busy” playing fortnight. So my mom’s neighbor said they let him go and gave my mom $700 and tried to give me alcohol when I don’t even drink. I was so depressed, friends and my previous SD left me… Then, one time in 2024, my mom wanted me to pick up my sister from work and I didn’t have a drivers license, I still did it and when I turned someone still crossed and I accidentally hit their car. Weirdly, everyone was quick to say it was my fault and my mom and sister tried to tell me “don’t tell the cops she let you use her suv, say you just took it” but I still told the cops the truth and shown them the text where my mom told me to pick up my sister from her work, then I found out I could have been arrested for grand theft auto or joyriding if i wouldn’t have told the cops my mom told me to pick up my sister! Oddly, my mom’s boyfriend still picked her up after the accident too! I had to do months of mannish labor for my mom just so she’ll help me pay the fine I had from the accident which messed with my mental health, then in 2025, my very own previous therapist acted like I was going crazy and have anger issues from all I went through, and she flat out gave up on me!! She tried to disguise it as concern saying she thought I need a higher level of care and it’s for everyone’s safety! I haven’t had a therapist since oct 2025!! Friends even stopped being interested in me and I feel lonely!! Is some kind of thing going on here in Arizona? Because you know what’s suspicious most of all? Is when I was a teenager, my toxic family members always tried to say I’ll be broke and homeless and end up in a mental institution and be a nobody in life, yet I got my own apartment and had genuine connections that made me feel important and loved, then things got worse after that?! Can’t anyone understand why I would think something seems suspicious all these years instead of trying to dismiss me as being paranoid or overreacting?! Like, it seems like classic covert narcissistic abuse and psychological abuse against me on a state wide scale— for what though?? For wanting a better happier fulfilling life and made it happen before things went wrong in 2023?? Is there hope for me to find connections that can save me and take care of me again?? Or was it just a tease??

I’m 26, drowning in debt, and I’m asking strangers for a small lifeline

TL;DR: I’m 26, living in Delhi, earning about ₹67,000/month while facing roughly ₹2 lakh/month in EMIs for 2 years. My family is financially well-off, but they have cut me off and told me to deal with my situation myself. I have no financial safety net despite having a family that could potentially help. I’m trying to keep myself afloat, find additional income, and rebuild my life. If you can spare even $1–$10 (or ₹100–₹1,000), it would genuinely help me get through this period. If you can’t donate, advice or legitimate work leads would mean a lot too.

I never imagined I would make a post asking strangers on the internet for money.

But I’m at a point where pride isn’t helping me solve anything.

I’m 26, based in Delhi, India. I currently earn approximately ₹67,000/month, but my total EMI obligations are around ₹2,00,000/month.

The numbers simply don’t work.

My family is financially well-off, but they have made it clear that they will not help me. I’ve essentially been told to deal with my situation myself and that they don’t consider me part of the family anymore.

So despite having a family that could potentially help, I currently have no financial safety net and no one I can realistically call for a bailout.

I’m trying to keep working, find additional income, and somehow restructure my life before this becomes completely unmanageable.

I’ve looked at pretty much every legitimate way I can think of to increase my income: night shifts, hospitality, events, personal-assistant work, freelance/online work, sales, entertainment, and legitimate opportunities overseas.

I’ve also considered adult-adjacent work such as companionship and sugar dating because I’m desperate enough to consider unconventional work — but I’m extremely cautious about scams, blackmail, trafficking, fake agencies, and anyone demanding upfront fees. I’m not looking to put myself in a dangerous situation.

So I’m asking Reddit for two things.

1. If you can genuinely spare it, please consider donating $1–$10.

PayPal: @princerk907

I’m not asking everyone to solve my ₹2 lakh problem.

I’m asking for a tiny amount from people who are comfortable giving it.

$1 might feel insignificant to one person. But if 100 people give $1, that’s $100. If 500 people give $2, that’s $1,000.

Right now, even relatively small amounts can help me cover immediate expenses while I work on increasing my income.

If you can’t donate, please don’t feel guilty.

2. If you’ve actually been through something similar, tell me what worked.

If you know legitimate employers, night-shift opportunities, hospitality/event work, freelance opportunities, overseas employment pathways, or other realistic ways for someone in Delhi to substantially increase their income, I’d be incredibly grateful for leads.

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have gone from:

debt → crisis → rebuilding → stable income

I don’t need a motivational speech.

I don’t need judgment.

I need practical information from people who have actually been there.

And I want to be honest about something else.

The financial pressure has become so severe that I’ve had thoughts about not wanting to be alive anymore.

I don’t want to die.

I want to get out of this situation.

I want to work.

I want to repay what I owe.

I want to become financially stable again.

I’m posting this because I still believe there has to be a way forward.

If you can contribute $1, $5, $10, or the equivalent in your country, thank you. If you can’t contribute but can share this, thank you. If all you can do is tell me about a legitimate opportunity that could increase my income, that may ultimately be worth far more than a donation.

I’m going to be careful about verifying any financial help or job offer I receive. I won’t pay an “agency fee,” send money to strangers promising jobs, or put myself into an unsafe arrangement just because I’m desperate.

Thank you for reading this far.

I genuinely hope that one day I can come back to Reddit and say:

“I made it out.”

Need $500 to get through the month

My partner and I are in a difficult financial situation and I’m hoping someone may be able to help us with $500 to get through this month.

We recently purchased our first home after receiving a commitment from family that they would finance the house for us privately, with no payments for the first two years. They were involved throughout the home-buying process, and we made the decision to purchase based on that arrangement.

Unfortunately, after we committed to the house, the promised help fell through and we were left to finance everything ourselves.

We’ve managed to keep up, but I’ve exhausted my savings and recently sold my investments at a significant loss to cover unexpected expenses. We’re now at the point where we’re barely scraping by.

I’m asking for $500 to give us some breathing room and help us stay current this month. I know that’s a lot to ask from strangers, and I don’t expect any one person to cover it. Anything toward that amount would genuinely help us.

Thank you for reading and for any help you’re able to give.
