Had to post again because I was missing pictures.

I recently lost my job (May 15th) because I could not travel there anymore, and I could really use the help supporting my home that includes my four dogs, Lily, Luna, Lillianna, and Bozer.

For now my cat and dogs have food, but probably only for a couple more months. And I'm immensely worried about my electricity getting turned off, which is going to be really bad with this heat that just started.

I also am extremely malnourished from a lack of a proper diet/food in general to be honest. I would appreciate any tips/help in that regard too.

I already have had this disconnection notice (above) for a minute so I'm not sure when they are going to come and just shut everything off I just hope they don't. The bill is getting QUITE high since I have never been able to pay it off fully even with my old job.

As for what I'm doing to try and fix the situation I have been applying for many jobs over the last few weeks because I knew this was coming, but still no answers. I've applied for unemployment.

I don't have a car or license so doing most things is difficult on top of my mental health issues. There aren't too many places within walking distance of me that I haven't applied to.

I haven't even mentioned that I have a debt payment every month I need to take care of, I'm not sure what the debt collector will do if I miss those by a significant amount of time and I don't want my pets taken away from me.

I talked with unemployment public assistance and they said even after I go through the whole process, that I most likely won't get any money myself, just my landlord. That's good for rent, but currently I'm way more worried about the electric bill, my pet food, and my debt bill because my Grandma is my landlord so she is very lenient about rent thankfully.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Even just advice or encouragement.

EDIT: Apparently I forgot to add in my disconnection notice really stupidly, I had to upload it to an image host because I apparently can't add pics to an already posted post. https://photobucket.com/share/1880bf51-4758-4c15-adb9-7067c1db9538

My boyfriend and I are currently in college, majoring in computer science and psychology. We hope to finish our degrees in the next couple of years, however finances are a huge barrier. There are some weeks we can barely afford food as we pay for both rent and tuition. Provided are username verification, a picture of us, and proof of enrollment for both of us. Anything helps and is greatly appreciated!

I’m having to get a hysterectomy due to a long struggle with severe endometriosis, adenomyosis, menorrhagia, and abdominal pain. I have had a surgery previously to remove the endometriosis in 2023, and before that I tried an IUD for decades. The endometriosis is back, so I must now get a total hysterectomy. I have Systematic Lupus, Mixed Connetive Tissue Disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, disc disease, arthritis, migraines and neuropathy. So I have so many medical expanses I can’t afford the out of pocket amount I need to pay to get the surgery scheduled.

Hi! First off, thank you all for taking the time to read this. 

My brother James was recently injured we suspect at work but we're not entirely sure how it happened. 

He required surgery on his back for a crushed disk and damaged nerve. The doctors did surgery to remove bone debris from the crushed disk and removed a significant segment of the nerve that was being pinched from this. 

The surgery has gone well and he is recovering but this means he has been out of work for almost a month and won't be able to do any kind of work for several more weeks. He'll need to wear a back brace for a while and have to use a leg brace probably for the rest of his life. 

He doesn't like to ask people for help but he could really use it right now. 

He lives by himself and has a few cats to take care of. And it would be very helpful if anyone can help him with his finances and the care of his animals. The gofundme we set up is only set up for 1800 dollars. Just enough for him to cover his rent, utilities, and the care of his animals for a short time.  Im going to attach photos of him after the surgery and of the procedure that was done. 

Thank you all for reading.

Hi all! Just months after I moved from Philadelphia, PA to Illinois to live with my now husband, my father was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. He was a firefighter in the Philadelphia fire department for 20 years but had to step away due to his illness. This has put a huge financial burden on my parents, and my mother has little to no support at home and needs to find a job on top of things as she lost her own job shortly after my father’s diagnosis. I am desperate to move home, March of 2027 is our moving goal, to help my mom take care of my dad. I really want to give her a break and allow her time to work. As well as spend all the time I can with my father while I can. If you can help in any way at all I’d be forever grateful. 🫶🏻

I have noticed that there has been a bit of doubt on my go fund me. I have added a bit more pictures and evidence to prove my claims. I understand that this skepticism is because there are a lot of liars out there but I’m not one of them. Here is my link: https://gofund.me/60827ecc8

Hi everyone,

I’m raising funds to help cover this month’s rent for my family while I’m unable to work and going through a WorkCover dispute.

Over the last few months, I’ve been dealing with a serious work-related mental health injury. I’m under medical care and currently unable to work. My WorkCover claim is still being disputed, and while I’m continuing through the formal process, it is moving slowly and my income has been heavily disrupted.

I have a wife and daughter, and my main priority is keeping our rent paid and keeping our household stable while I continue treatment and work through the dispute process.

I’ve set up a GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/dbba56c95

The funds raised will go toward rent and essential household bills. I can provide redacted proof of the rent/bills and relevant documentation if required by the moderators.

I know many people are struggling, so I don’t ask lightly. Any support, even a small amount or a share, would genuinely help my family get through this month.

Thank you for reading.

I have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and ovarian cysts. These health challenges have forced me to spend months at a time in the emergency room, and my physical limitations have become significant. I can no longer take out my own garbage, walk to the mailbox, or do tasks such as laundry or walk far in a grocery store. My medical bills are outstanding, and Social Security continues to deny me, even though I have a lawyer. I have no Medicaid, no insurance, and very expensive medications that I have to pay full price for. I live alone in a very isolated area, have no savings, and am unable to work.

Sometimes, when I need to do physical activity to keep up things around my house, I have set off my defibrillator, which doesn’t feel very good when it shocks me and uses up my battery. I’m on my second defibrillator implant. I’ve passed out and bruised and twisted my body and hit my head, falling down when passing out. The money could also help pay my landlord to do some of the hard physical activities for me, so I can stay safe and avoid injury.

Donations to this fundraiser will go directly toward my medical bills, monthly medications, and living expenses. Thank you for your time and attention and if you cannot donate, please share thank you again.

Hello, everyone.

I have recently been battling with depression and an autoimmune disorder. I have been required to take a less strenuous job that had a pay cut and I'm currently stuck in a lease for another month and a half. I need some assistance with maintaining rent and other bills that have popped up. I currently see two specialists monthly and my pup Flint was recently diagnosed with a skin infection and allergies that he needs meds for.

I am currently requesting about $800, the money will go towards Flint's medication, my doctor's visits, rent, and groceries.

I want to be completely transparent regarding verification because I understand why people are cautious online, especially with fundraising posts. These are two women I personally know, Lorrie Herman (68) and Lisa Stine (56), who recently lost their home and are currently staying in a hotel trying desperately not to become homeless.
Lorrie has severe COPD and has difficulty getting around. She uses a walker and sometimes a wheelchair because of her health problems. She receives around $856 a month in SSI, and with the hotel costing around $800 a month, it is almost impossible for them to keep up financially. Lisa recently had knee surgery and missed months of work, and now they are struggling just to survive day to day.
They are originally from Somerset, Kentucky, but the only hotel they could afford is in Monticello, Kentucky, about 30 minutes away from Lisa’s job. There is no Uber, public transportation, or bus system here, and because of transportation issues she has not even been able to consistently get back and forth to work.
They are also desperately trying not to lose their cat Willow during all of this because Willow is one of the only comforts they have left right now.
The reason the women themselves are not posting on Reddit is because they are older ladies who do not really use technology much and honestly did not even know what Reddit was until I explained it and got their permission to post for them. They do not have high-tech phones and are not familiar with how any of this works.
I also want to explain the verification situation. They currently live a significant distance away from me and unfortunately I’m unable to physically go there for a verification photo together because I work 40 hours a week, attend school full-time, and also do cat rescue full-time outside of work. However, I did include:
my verification photo with my Reddit username/date
photos of the women
screenshots of our text conversations
proof of the hotel situation
In the screenshots, the green messages are from me and the white bubbles are from Lisa and Lorrie. When you see the name Willow, that is their cat they are desperately trying not to lose during all of this. When the name Jessica is mentioned, that is Jessica with Help the Homeless in Somerset, Kentucky.
I completely understand people being cautious and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this. Even advice, resources, shares, or kind words mean a lot right now. If anyone is willing to help these women avoid homelessness, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hello, Reddit!

We recently (2/18/2026) adopted a senior dog (approximately 8 years old), Sophie, from the shelter after she spent 355 days waiting for a home. We don’t know much about her life before us, but it’s clear she endured a great deal. She was obviously used for breeding & has signs consistent with either abuse or dog fighting.

When we adopted her, she had severe chronic infections in both ears that required frequent vet visits. Our primary veterinarian flushed & packed her ears with antibiotics in an attempt to clear the infections. After three rounds of treatment, the infection in her left ear resolved, but the right ear never really improved.

After being referred to a veterinary dermatologist, Sophie was diagnosed with a traumatic auricular avulsion. Essentially, some kind of major trauma (such as being hit by a car, kicked in the head, or injured during dog fighting) caused her ear canal to separate from the rest of the ear. As it healed, it didn't reconnect properly. Instead, scar tissue formed & created a blind pocket that sealed off the external ear canal from the middle ear, trapping an infection inside. The scarring has also narrowed the canal so significantly that medication can no longer reach the infected area.

We were then referred to a surgeon, who determined that Sophie requires a TECA-BO surgery (Total Ear Canal Ablation & Bulla Osteotomy), as medication can no longer treat the damage. During this procedure, the entire ear canal, ear drum, & affected middle ear structures are removed. The tympanic bulla is then opened & cleaned to remove infected material before the area is sutured. After surgery, she'll require several weeks of post-operative care.

Despite everything she’s been through, Sophie is the sweetest old lady. She finally has a safe home where she’s loved beyond measure, & we want to give her the best chance to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

The estimated cost of surgery is substantial, & does not include follow-up expenses. Unfortunately, CareCredit will not cover the full amount, & payment is due at drop-off on the 19th. For transparency, we've included the procedure estimate, post-operative estimate, & appointment confirmation in the photos.

We're currently asking for a total of $3000 to cover the remainder of the initial estimate plus a portion of the post-operative estimate (the starting automated goal shows $1300). The estimated post-operative costs range from $635.92 to $4,491.68, which may include 1-4 visits with 2-3 images required, plus any bandage changes or sedation necessary. My partner and I both work full-time and I work an additional part-time job + side jobs to help pay for her care. Since her ears were a pre-existing condition, we weren't able to get coverage for her. We've been paying out of pocket for her care so far (just over $3400), but we're now at the point where we need some help. We just want to get her healthy and to a point where she's no longer in pain.

Thank you for taking the time to read, & we really appreciate any support or shares! We're happy to answer any questions!

My wife and I have a kitten named Maki that fell off and didn't land right and broke her leg.

We were able to get a vet to do the surgery a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately she's doing better, but still a bit depressed.

We're struggling to pay off her vet bills and rehabilitation, we already sold a lot of stuff but we can't keep up with the vet bills and other things we need to pay.

Please help Maki so we can give her the care she deserves.

My daughter Coraline was born premature at 36 weeks on January 10th. She was in the NICU since birth for 87 days, working on her feeding skills. Our family has been devastated as we do our best to help and wait for when she can feed on her own as she now is being fed through a G tube that has been surgically placed. 

I've been suffering from severe postpartum depression. It’s so hard to admit that to family and friends, but I know I need help to be there for our daughter.

We’ve been working with therapist, home health nurses, and our local feeding clinic. I’m so grateful for all the nurses, doctors, and support staff that I’ve come to know and also care for like family.

Our family has been struggling to manage daily life tasks, especially with our 6-year-old son and supporting him. Even though I’ve been out of work and on short term disability, it is not enough to cover bills. My depression has made it impossible to function enough to provide for our family. Of course, I’m working with social work and my providers to get the help I need.

We’ve also applied to our hospital’s financial aid program. Unfortunately, we only qualify for 50% coverage and must pay the rest. The bills seem to be piling up on us with inflation and having to support our daughter. Paying for groceries, gas, and hospital parking fees have depleted our savings.

We hope and would be forever grateful to have support from our community to help our family during this stressful time. All we wish for is to have our daughter to successfully be able to feed on her own orally.

No savings, no registered address because the land lady doesn't allow it.
I am living off-grid in the south of Spain in a small farmhouse, working in exchange for a place to live.

Three days ago, the police seized my car because I am unable to register it without an address.
4 weeks ago, a pack of 4 free dogs attacked me and my dog in the rambla.
Now, on top of the medical bill, I am facing a police fine.

With no car, I can't get to my jobs in the gardens. Everything has stopped. I am stuck, with nowhere to go. No family here, nothing. To make things worse, my phone and tablet both crashed over the past two months. I have 3 cats and 1 dog.

All I have left, and the only thing I am still able to do, is making music as a vocal artist on my PC.

I need your help to get my life together and to sing myself out of this dirt.

I can't do this alone, need your help.

The campaign is already at 75% of the main milestone. It started as a music project, but it ended up with many problems...

A little over a month ago, I found a kitten limping across the parking lot of my apartment complex. I got out of my car to see how I could help, or to see if he needed humane euthanasia. He was missing part of his hind left leg, from right below the knee. I brought him to the emergency vet and they said that he was healthy other than the leg and how malnourished he was. He weighed 5.75 pounds. It was at least a few days old at that point because >!it was no longer bleeding, but his bone was sticking out and he had pieces of tissue dangling from the wound.!< We think he either got hit by a car or stuck in a hunter's trap or similar, since he had no other damage. I kept him in my bathroom overnight and padded it with towels, and took him to my vet the next day. They tested him for FIV and it came back negative, as well as all other tests they ran. They had to keep him overnight to get fluids into him and to monitor him before his amputation the next day. My partner decided to name him Three Piece Supreme after the order from Bojangles, lol. They had to keep him for two days after the amputation to help him recover. I am a full-time student and my partner currently works 30 hours a week, so we had to use Scratchpay to take out a loan to pay for the procedure all at once. Any help we could get is huge. The gofundme I have set up so far has helped pay for some of the initial costs like cat supplies, microchip, and part of the loan, but we still have awhile to go and I want to pay it off ASAP before it starts acquiring interest in October. He also has unfortunately developed ringworm, so we have since had to take him back into the vet for that and he currently is on treatment for it. Supreme is the sweetest boy and we are so glad we were able to rescue him. Please consider donating and/or sharing, as everything helps. We still have $2,132.50 left of the loan to pay off, and any additional money raised will be going towards his ringworm treatment. Thank you so much! https://www.gofundme.com/u/e1e90e78-0aa5-48bf-8625-584cbfec2d19

Hello everyone of reddit
I am pleased to share that I have assisted my younger brother in setting up and securing his GoFundMe campaign. And due to the incredible generosity of early supporters, his weddings officially reached 33% of said goal!
While he's incredibly grateful for this strong start, building momentum from this point can be challenging, and he is working hard to find additional pledges. I have reminded him to stay focused and positive as big goals require persistence and community support to become a reality.
If you are able to contribute, or if you could take a moment to share the link with your own network, it would mean the world to him and help us close the remaining gap.
Thank you all for your continued support, encouragement, and generosity.

Hi everyone. I’m making this post on behalf of my wife because the last week has been incredibly hard on her emotionally, and right now, her focus is on Lacy.
Lacy is her 9 year old Australian Shepherd and has been by her side through so much over the years. She’s far more than “just a dog” to her. She’s family, emotional support, and one of the most important parts of her life.
About a week ago, vets found a large mass in Lacy’s abdomen. We’re still waiting on full confirmation, but they’ve made it clear this is serious. Her first appointment with a soft tissue surgeon is on May 11, where they’ll do a consult and additional imaging to determine whether the mass has spread.
Regardless of the outcome, Lacy will need surgery to remove the mass.
She’s been doing everything she can to give Lacy the best chance possible, but emotionally and financially, this has been overwhelming.
If you’re able to donate, share this, or even just keep Lacy in your thoughts, it would genuinely mean so much to us.
Thank you.
