Hello everyone,

I never thought I would find myself asking strangers for help, but my family is going through an extremely difficult period.

My mother is currently fighting cancer and needs ongoing medical treatment. At the same time, my young daughter recently suffered an elbow fracture that required surgery and hospital care.

The combination of these unexpected medical expenses and our normal family responsibilities has put us under serious financial pressure. I am doing everything I can to keep working and support my family, but the situation has become difficult to manage.

I created this GoFundMe to help cover my mother’s medical expenses, my daughter’s recovery and medical bills, and essential family expenses while we try to get through this difficult period.

I completely understand that not everyone is able to donate. Even sharing the campaign with someone who may be able to help would mean a great deal to us.

I can provide supporting documents for the medical circumstances with personal information removed, if required.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read my story. Any help, no matter how small, means more to my family than I can express.

My name is Elijah, and I am creating this fundraiser for myself as I prepare to attend Old Dominion University. I went from experiencing homelessness to being accepted into college, and that journey has taught me resilience, determination, and hope. As a first-generation high school graduate and first-generation college student, reaching this point is a major accomplishment for me and for my family. I worked hard through difficult circumstances to create a better future for myself, and I am proud to have earned this opportunity to attend ODU.

I am seeking support to help cover a meal plan, a laptop, school supplies, and other necessities I need to succeed in college. Having these essentials would allow me to focus on my education, stay on track toward my degree, and continue building a brighter future from the hardships I have overcome. I’m asking my community to support me as I take this important next step. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean so much to me. Your support would be more than financial help. It would remind me that I’m not alone and that people believe in my future. Thank you for believing in me, sharing my story, and helping me begin this new chapter.

Hi everyone,

I’m genuinely reaching out to ask for some advice and ideas.

My brother-in-law was diagnosed with multiple myeloma after experiencing back pain for only about three months. It has been a huge shock for him and our entire family, and we are now trying to support him and his family through what is going to be a very difficult journey.
I started a fundraiser to help with the financial burden and give the family some breathing room while they focus on his treatment and recovery.
I’ve already shared it with friends and our church community, but I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with fundraising on Reddit or other online communities.

https://gofund.me/5cebcd599

Where have you found the most impact when sharing a fundraiser like this? Are there particular subreddits, communities, organizations, or other platforms that are appropriate for sharing a cancer fundraiser?
Even if you can’t donate, advice, sharing, or simply pointing me in the right direction would mean so much to us.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any advice you can offer. ❤️

Hello, you may recognize me from r/diagnoseme. This about my father’s health conditions. I apologize if I make this too wordy but I’ll try to keep it brief.

Originally this post was about helping with my dads medical expenses are he was sent to urgent care at the hospital, but he’s now passed.

I’ll let you know what was going on but all this fundraiser is for is to be able to attend his funeral and hopefully cover any additional costs when it comes to his funeral.

My father is 78 years old and was recently admitted to the hospital for a very very severe infection in his leg that was turned black and swollen and He’s lost his ability to walk.

He’s a diabetic, when they got to the hospital his blood sugar was over 450 and is infection only getting worse. This is only getting worse as he’s been declining into dementia and trying to get himself discharged from the hospital when he still is completely unable to walk. Luckily the infection is being treated and hopefully they didnt have to amputate his leg.

I am currently abroad in Canada as a full time university student, and a part time employee looking for a second job to help with funeral costs as that responsibility mainly rests in my shoulders.

Any donation and share would literally mean the world to my family, thank you.

❤️** Hoy quiero pedirle ayuda a nuestra comunidad para una familia que aprecio muc**ho.
Conozco a la familia Martínez y sé que no ha sido fácil para ellos. Después de todo lo que han vivido, se encuentran atravesando una situación muy difícil y tuvieron que empezar prácticamente desde cero.
Perdieron gran parte de lo que habían construido materialmente y, además de enfrentar esta pérdida, están tratando de recuperar estabilidad, reconstruir sus vidas y poder reunirse nuevamente con su familia.
Sé que pedir ayuda nunca es fácil, especialmente para personas que siempre han tratado de trabajar y salir adelante por sus propios medios. Por eso decidí compartir su GoFundMe.
🙏 Si puedes donar, cualquier cantidad puede ayudar. Y si no puedes, compartir esta publicación puede hacer una gran diferencia.
No estoy compartiendo esto por lástima. Lo comparto porque conozco a esta familia, conozco su situación y creo que merecen tener una oportunidad de comenzar nuevamente.
👉 Puedes conocer su historia y ayudar aquí:

❤️ Gracias a todos los que puedan aportar, compartir o simplemente tomarse un momento para leer su historia.
Cuando una familia está pasando por un momento así, tener una comunidad detrás puede significarlo todo.

I never imagined I would be making a post like this, and asking strangers for help is incredibly hard for me.

On March 26th, my daughter Willow and I lost Chris — my partner, her daddy, and the person we thought we were going to spend our lives with.

One day we were a family planning our future, and the next, everything we knew was gone.

Willow is a Daddy’s girl. She is still so little, and somehow I have to figure out how to raise her without the person who was supposed to be standing beside me through all of it. I have to carry my own grief while trying to make sure her world still feels safe, normal, and full of love.

The grief alone has been crushing. But what I wasn't prepared for was how quickly the financial reality of losing someone can become crushing too.

We went from a two-parent household to me trying to hold everything together on my own. Bills don't stop because you're grieving. Rent doesn't stop. Utilities don't stop. Groceries, the car, everyday expenses — none of it cares that some days simply getting out of bed and being a mom takes everything I have.

I've fallen behind, and I've reached a point where I can't pretend I'm managing everything anymore.

My sister helped create a GoFundMe for Willow and me because we genuinely need help getting our heads above water while we try to rebuild a life that neither of us ever asked for.

I'm not expecting strangers to fix our lives, and I completely understand that so many people are struggling financially right now. If you can't donate, I truly understand. Even sharing our fundraiser, leaving some encouragement, or simply keeping my little girl in your thoughts means more than you know.

I would give anything to have Chris back instead of needing this fundraiser. I'd trade every dollar in the world just to watch Willow run to her daddy one more time.

But I can't change what happened.

All I can do now is keep getting up every morning, keep loving our little girl enough for both of us, and keep trying to build some kind of life out of the pieces that were left behind.

If anyone is willing or able to help us, this is our GoFundMe:

I woke up this morning to my senior cat Gail’s chin being nearly three times the size. I worry it’ll get bigger and he’ll start to struggle to breathe.
I cannot afford the thousands of dollars the vets are estimating as I am disabled and rely on my partner who won’t be able to pay rent if he drops thousands right now.
I made a go fund me to help get Gail the care he deserves. Please click the link in my bio to find it!
Please consider donating if you can! Please don’t donate if you’re struggling or in debt!
I want to get him to the vet asap!!
Thank you so much if you help, he’s a sweet boy and he doesn’t deserve to suffer because of my disabilities and inability to provide for him.
I will ofc update yall on his condition🫶

I never would have thought I would be writing a post like this, but I honestly do not know where else to turn. My life has completely changed and turned completely upside down the last 5 years and I just don’t know what to anymore. I am a mother of two kids and I am completely suffering from debilitating chronic illnesses and have no where else to turn at this point.

I have always worked hard and loved my job, loved hard, always take care of everyone and taken care of my children to the best of my ability and then some and have always tried to build a stable life for my family. A few years ago, I finally had what I thought was going to be our forever home with no intentions of leaving any time soon.. In 2022, my children and I moved into an older farmhouse rental. It was close to where I grew up and close to family, not even five minutes away from my grandparents and where I grew up, and it felt like the fresh start we had been hoping for. It was the first home I ever had on my own with my kids. Honestly, at the time, it was the best thing that ever happened to us. We painted bedrooms, replaced flooring where needed, removed carpet, and put so much love into making it ours, building our lives together and making memories. Over time in this house, however, my health started changing rapidly and over all turned into a compete disaster. At first, I was just extremely tired and fatigued, the fatigue became extreme to where I couldn’t function. I would come home from work and collapse. There were days I would get home around 4:30 or 5, not even eat dinner after work, and sleep until I had to wake up for work the next morning. Trying to juggle kids in school, sports and work was becoming impossible. Even stopping at the grocery store was something I came to dread and eventually stopped doing on my own. My symptoms continued getting worse. I developed severe POTs symptoms, tachycardia, with my heart rate jumping into the 150s when standing, dizziness, weakness, temperature regulation problems, nerve pain, brain fog, neurological symptoms, joint pain, and reactions that felt like my body was constantly fighting something, a flu or hangover that would never go away. I went to two different doctors, urgent cares, and even the ER multiple times. I had testing done and was repeatedly told things looked normal or that it could be stress or anxiety. I knew something was wrong with me and I have kept track of symptoms progression in a notebook to the point to where I was requesting labs for different diseases, or cancers, because something was seriously wrong with me. I kept searching for answers trying to save myself for my family. In 2024, I started being evaluated for autoimmune issues. I saw specialists, had testing done, tried medications, and continued trying to figure out why my health was declining. Then in June 2025, everything changed. I stayed at my grandparents’ house for a few nights when they were away to care for pets and noticed something completely unexpected that the longer I was away from my home, the better I felt. It didn’t make sense to us that all of a sudden the debilitating symptoms became less with no clear reason or medication. That was when we started looking at the house. We found hidden water damage and intrusions and mold concerns, including issues under the bathroom flooring from a bathtub that had not been properly sealed from past renter renovations, a leak under the bathroom sink so subtle you would never notice unless you were LOOKING for something, damaged flooring tiles and materials in the laundry area, and concerns about the crawlspace that had never been properly inspected. When we brought the issues to the landlord, we were told there was not money available to fix everything. The landlord said we could start tearing down walls but would probably find mold everywhere that he cannot fix, that we would rather “ burn the house down. “ The home we lived in and built a life in, was threatened to be burned to the ground. We were left in a situation where we could not afford to remediate a rental home that was not ours. We had no choice but to leave our home. We lost so much.. We got rid of mattresses, bedding, furniture, toys, stuffed animals, and belongings we had worked hard for because we were trying to protect my health thinking that leaving the home we could start over eventually and it turned out worse than I could ever imagine. Since then, we have moved multiple times. Every time we thought we had finally found somewhere safe, we found more water damage, moisture problems, or unsafe conditions that have been painted over and hidden. One home we moved into seemed like a fresh start for us, but six weeks later my health crashed harder than ever. I went days without sleeping, had severe pain to where I couldn’t use my legs, I missed work, had doctor visits and an ER visit, and had a blood pressure reading of 160/110 during one of these episodes and I lost 8 lbs in 6 days. We found water damage and basement issues in that home as well, and once again with no help from a landlord we had to leave. Through all of this, I was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) related to mold exposure by a mold illness specialist that I cannot afford and finding out through my own research I have been trying to advocate for myself and my family but get no where in the medical system. My symptoms include severe fatigue or feeling exhausted after minimal activity, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, memory problems
headaches, sleep problems & un refreshing sleep
muscle and joint aches and pans, nerve burning, tingling, & sensitivity, dizziness or feeling faint, exercise intolerance shortness of breath & unusual sensitivity to smells/environmental exposures, sinus congestion, postnasal drip, or recurrent respiratory symptoms, visual disturbances, blurry vision, temperature regulation problems, increased sensitivity to light or sound, mood changes, irritability, anxiety, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed, gastrointestinal symptoms nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea or constipation, changes in appetite or weight, skin symptoms itching & rashes.

I am continuing to work with my doctor but he has told me multiple times this is out of his range of scope on his practice and that I NEED functional care with a specialist, we are trying to manage my symptoms together but it is not working & my quality of life has changed completely. I have called practices near and far and the cost is extreme. I have also been in touch with social services and they do not offer any hotel stays or housing assistance anymore. I’ve reached out to any potential resources available on the area and have had no help. I have to have my family, my elderly grandmother drive me to work. I am still a mother. I want to be a mother. I want to be there for my children. I still want a normal life. This is my truth. And I am exhausted from constantly having to leave, rebuild, replace belongings, and fight to find somewhere safe to live. My children have been fortunate that they have not experienced the same level of illness that I have, and I am so grateful for that. My biggest goal is protecting them and finding stability again. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on air purifiers, supplies, medical care, testing, and trying to make our environment safer, I just can’t do it anymore.

Please with everything I have, which isn’t much, help me rebuild my life for my family.
We are trying to raise money home for safer housing, environmental testing and a doctor to help with treatment, covering the cost of items lost and misses wages as well.
I just want a place to call home again that is safe for my healing.
Any amount helps with something.
Thank you for reading our story.

Hello, I don't usually do this sort of thing but I need to spread the word about a fundraiser for my dog. I made a gofundme page for him because he had been trouble with his legs, we thought it was arthritis at first, but the vet thinks its his spine, which surgery for such things are very costly. Please consider donating, even if its just a dollar or sharing on your pages, I would appreciate getting this to as many eyes as possible. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm a 19-year-old final-year student from Hungary, and I'm trying to raise around €900 (325,000 HUF) to get my driver's license.

I know a driver's license might not sound like something that people normally donate money for, but for me it would make a huge difference. It would give me much more freedom when looking for work and would help me become more independent.

Unfortunately, my family is currently in a difficult financial situation. My mother is raising me on her own and her income is below the minimum wage, so saving up the full amount ourselves is extremely difficult.

The reason I'm trying to raise the money now is that I have until September 1st to get the necessary money together. I'm also trying to contribute myself — I'm not expecting strangers to pay for everything. I'm simply trying every possible way to reach the amount before the deadline.

Even €1, €2 or €5 would genuinely help. And if you can't donate, sharing this would mean just as much to me.

I know there are many people on Reddit asking for help, so I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this.
