Help me survive a tough time.

​

Hi, I'm facing a tough time right now, I'm Malaysian, 36M. My work contract was not resumed and I'm out of a job since May 2026. I've been working odd jobs like mowing lawns, simple electrical jobs and a few part times but my savings has been fully depleted. Finding a job when you are more than 35 years old is hard in my country.

I'm in need of RM1000 ( approximately $250 ) to cover for rent, school for my kids and some formula for the little one. I can pay back Rm100 monthly starting October 2026 if needed as I just landed a job as a store associate for a local supermarket.

I can't create a PayPal account, the registration code cant be sent to my number, been trying for an hour now and I don't know what other apps I can use to post a link here.

Thank you for your time.

Here is a screenshot of my employment pension funds last mandatory contribution in June 2026 since my last employment was in May 2026.

I need your most hilarious answers!!

Ok, so for years now, every time I have picked up my child from school school (which is weekly,) I have put the reason being something completely outrageous and off the wall that I can blame the front desk lady for. The entire school and administration knows and approves of this and it has become something amazing. I am unfortunately running out of ideas though and am coming to you fine people for help!!!

It's an elementary school and her name is literally Karen so I know there will be some good ones!

Thank you all in advance!

ETA: the front desk lady is Karen.

First-Year 1st Grade Teacher — Help Me Build My Classroom 🍎📚🌸

Hi everyone! 💕

I’m starting my first year teaching 1st grade and have been slowly putting together my classroom. I’m so excited to create a cozy, welcoming space where my students can learn, feel comfortable, and enjoy coming to school every day.

Like many teachers, I’m purchasing a lot of the classroom supplies and materials myself, so I created an Amazon classroom wishlist with some things that would really help us get started.

Absolutely no pressure at all, even one small item would mean so much to me and my students.

🍎 Classroom Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/U3UUYSY4XUWY?ref\_=wl\_share

Thank you so much for supporting teachers and our little learners! 📚✏️🌷

Need help from someone to see if my CashApp acc is flagged!

Need help from someone to see if my acc is still flagged! Thx!

A while ago someone chargebacked money sent to me and then it started warning ppl before sending money to me. Just wondering if this still shows up on my account to a new person who I don’t have transaction history with. It’s been months and have had no chargebacks & use the account fairly often

If anyone could type in my and go through the first step of sending something to see if a warning still pops up would be greatly appreciated

Thank you, not just for helping me, but others in need🙏🏻🫂

(I was going to wait for my friend who did my photos to send me pics of the setup of my wedding potluck but shes going through the pics still, and I couldnt wait any longer to express my gratitude so I am putting the thank you I had receieved from the Legion of Mary Sister instead!, omitting top part of the text due to it having my name and my husbands workplace in the message lol)

I posted in this sub about a month ago asking for help on saving my wedding, as my spouse&i had a bad financial hiccup and I was in crisis panic mode...and a handful of lovely people here suggested communicating the idea of a potluck to my guests, and taking what was already fundraised to cover any odds and ends.

I just wanted to post this to say: we went through with that suggestion, and thank you to those who gave me the potluck suggestion, as it was extremely well received by everyone. We were even offered an added blessing for the venue, as we were granted the private dining space at my husbands restaurant, as a wedding gift from his boss.

Everything fell into place and again, I am overly grateful that I was able to reach out to kind strangers to help save our special day. I dont really come from the best family, and the only outside help I had apart from my spouse was my maid of honor up until the point of the potluck suggestion

Everyone thought the idea was a cozy, fun, and low-stress organic way to celebrate. There was so much food left, all of our loved ones were able to take food home. Even after, we still had food leftover that I called Good Shepard Ministries (a shelter here in Toronto) to donate the food to people in need.

So, while this "thank you" may be a small part in towards giving me a great idea to save my special day ; it is actually moreso a huge huge huge thank you for giving such a grand suggestion that we were able to help others with the help we had receieved due to its abundance.

Again, 100000x thank you. Bless you🙏🏻

College Student Desperate to Escape a Toxic Home

Hi everyone. I’m currently a first-year college student from the Philippines, and I’m still living in our family home. Just for context, moving out at a young age isn’t really common in our culture, especially when you come from a family that doesn’t have much money.

I’ll get straight to the point. I need financial help, not only because I’m struggling with the costs of college, but mainly because of the environment I’m living in right now.

I live with my mom, my two siblings, my uncle, and my grandmother. There are three of us siblings in total, including me. My mom has been raising us on her own for years.

The problem is that both of my siblings and my uncle are involved with crystal meth and gambling. They’re all adults, but they still depend heavily on my mom financially.

They ask my mom for money almost every day, and a lot of it ends up being used for gambling or drugs. One of my siblings already has a family of their own but still relies on my mom. They don't have a job and, honestly, don't seem to want one. My other sibling also doesn't really contribute to the household. My uncle does have a job, but most of what he earns goes to gambling and drugs.

We are not a rich family at all. We are struggling financially, and because of all of this, my mom's debts keep piling up. It hurts watching her work so hard while the people around her keep taking advantage of her.

The environment at home is also becoming unbearable for me. They can be aggressive, loud, and unpredictable. I can barely sleep because of the noise and everything that happens at night. We don't have separate rooms either, so we all sleep in the same small house with very little privacy.

I've already reported some of the things happening in our home, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the kind of help we need.

I know some people might ask, "Why don't you just move out?"

I want to. That's actually one of the main reasons I'm making this post.

I just can't afford it.

I've also considered getting a part-time job while studying, but my current college schedule doesn't really allow me to work as a working student. My classes and school responsibilities take up most of my time, and I don't want to risk failing or dropping out just because I'm trying to earn enough money to survive. I'm still trying to find ways to earn online or work around my schedule, but so far I haven't found something stable.

I don't have enough money for rent, food, transportation, school expenses, and everything else that comes with living on your own. If I had the means to leave safely and continue studying somewhere peaceful, I would do it.

I've honestly spent a lot of time thinking about my future, and I don't want to continue this cycle. My family has struggled financially for generations, and I want to be the one who finally breaks that cycle. I don't want anything extravagant. I just want a peaceful and quiet place where I can study, sleep properly, and build a better life.

Despite everything, I did my best in school. I graduated as the class valedictorian and with highest honors in 2026, and I'm now a first-year college student. I'm trying really hard to continue my education because I believe it's one of my best chances of changing my situation.

I'm not expecting anyone to solve my problems for me. If anyone can provide any kind of assistance, whether it's advice, information about scholarships or student support, help finding legitimate online work that I can do around my school schedule, or even a small amount that could help me save toward moving out, I would genuinely appreciate it.

I know there are probably many people who are also struggling, so I understand if you can't help financially. Even advice or pointing me toward resources that could help a college student would mean a lot to me.

I'm sorry if this post is messy. There's a lot going on, and I don't really know where else to ask.

Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this.

I can provide details for verification

Small update on rules with donations and requests

After looking through a lot of comments and seeing how interactions are going there has been some small changes made which will hopefully help the community run more smoothly and safely for all.

On donations, if you are using a wishlist it must be Amazon unless otherwise discussed in modmail with the mods and approved. This will help keep our donors’ information best protected and give those making the request the best chance at having their needs met.

Fundraising sites are going to be left to up to the mods to decide if they feel it is a secure one or not. Ones such as GoFundMe will be allowed others will be decided case by case.

A few friendly reminds.

• Many posts are being removed because you are not providing us with proof us hardship in your post or below it. Please remember this is a requirement when you are explaining your situation.

• Minors are not allowed to make requests or any kind of donations. They may only use this subreddit for advice.

• Any requests with bitcoin will be removed.

If you have questions please feel free to send us a message.

Seeking help as an unknown

Hi, I'm on here asking for help. Let me explain the situation to give some insight on the issue. Quick disclaimer; therapy, speaking to a medical professional, and breaking up or taking a break from each other isn't on the table. With that out of the way, let me begin.

My girlfriend has an addictive personality. One of her main addictions before it stopped was character ai.

I recently found out about this. When I found out, one thing led to another and eventually my mind made the connection to threesomes.

Ever since I had this idea, it had developed into a kink, fetishe, fantasy or whatever. I spoke to her about it. At first she was open to it, before we actually dived deeper. The first conversation ended with her sobbing into my arms about not wanting to have a 2f, 1m threesome.

The next day, we talked more. I didn't realise she was upset about it until it was too late.

We tried simulating what it would be like in a 2m 1f threesome. She had faked her orgasms, and I didn't have a very good one. But a part of me still liked it. She, however, felt sick and disgusted.

Que another hard conversation which also ended in tears.

I feel deeply ashamed and saddened with myself for hurting her, as I really value her and I love her deeply.

Yet I cannot seem to shake this desire. Hence, I need help. How do I get rid of this for the sake of myself and my relationship?

Need 20-30 dollars for food until I get paid

I've been helped on reddit recently so I don't want to ask for a handout, but rather suggestions. Wondering if anyone knows one of those cash advance apps that works? I've tried all the popular ones like Dave/cleo/Albert/briggit etc. most wont connect to my bank.

Does anyone know of maybe a lesser know cash advance app or have any other ideas? I just need to get some food for the week for me and my mom until I get paid.

Id rather not ask for help on reddit again directly so if anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Pls Help me out: Medical Device Research as a Student

I’m a product design student currently working on a medical device project focused on children, and I’m finding it surprisingly difficult to access reliable information from doctors and nurses.

I understand that hospitals have strict policies around patient privacy and medical data, but even getting general professional insights through interviews or conversations has been challenging. Some hospitals are very hesitant to share any information, which makes it difficult to understand the real-world problems and workflows that healthcare professionals deal with.

As a design student, I’m not looking for private patient data or anything confidential. I mainly want professional insights, experiences, common challenges, and feedback that can help me design a safer and more practical device.

If anyone here is a doctor, nurse, medical student, healthcare researcher, medical device designer, or has experience working with hospitals, I’d really appreciate some advice on:

  • How can design students ethically access healthcare-related research and insights?
  • Are there communities, forums, organisations, or platforms where I can connect with healthcare professionals?
  • What is the best way to approach doctors or hospitals for research interviews?
  • Are there any publicly available databases, research papers, or resources you would recommend?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions, personal experiences, or communities you can point me toward. I’m just trying to make sure the design is based on real healthcare needs rather than assumptions.

PLEASE IF YOUR A PEDIATRICIAN OR NURSE OR ANYHOW WORK IN MEDICAL FILED WITH KIDS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DM ME OR REPLY TO THIS POST I REALLY NEED DATA.🥲

Thanks in advance!

Need straw bedding for outdoor cat colony shelter

Hi all — I care for an outdoor colony of 6 stray/feral cats in Lakewood, WA. I've already got a doghouse set up as shelter for them, but I need straw bedding to actually insulate it and keep them warm/dry. I found a dust-free wheat straw bedding option Amazon wishlist for straw. (HealthiStraw FarmStraw Coarse Cut, 3 cu ft compressed / expands to 10+ cu ft) that would work well, but it's $36.89 and out of budget for me right now on top of everything else the colony needs. Proof of hardship: I currently have no income, so I'm not able to cover this cost myself right now. Photo attached showing the doghouse shelter and the colony being fed. Not asking for cash — just help getting this if anyone's willing and able. Any boost/share appreciated too. Thank you for reading.
