Hi all, I’m seeking assistance with short term rent situation and also ideally enough to purchase a cheap but functional car to commute to the job I just acquired.

The situation is outlined in the post, however the update is that since creating the GFM I have been offered a job (starting 10/13) and als my ex spouse decided to cancel the lease from under me before I could get the rent money, resulting in a risk of eviction if I cannot get these funds soon.

The first $1350 here is exclusively to pay rent as per the screenshot provided. Additional funds will go towards a vehicle so that I am able to attend my new job, without these funds right now I will be ubering 20 miles each way per day, which is not sustainable for me.

Thanks in advance for all support

Hello,

My name is Joseph, and I receive SSDI due to invisible disabilities. Due to my divorce wiping out what little extra money I had, I find myself struggling to pay some bills, and I'm also in need of a bed and mattress as I'm currently sleeping on my floor.

I had to move out of the family home, and where I am now, housing alone takes half of my SSDI income with cell phone, internet, electricity, and insurance (car, HO-6, and life) taking up another 25% of my SSDI. So, with 75% of SSDI being used up, I don't have much leftover for food, the couple of bills I need to pay, and a bed and mattress. I've been looking on Facebook Marketplace for bed frames, but would like to buy a new/unused mattress.

I was able to cut my cell phone bill in half by switching to a new provider, and my internet is as low as possible without being massively slow. I am also looking into lowering the cost of my home and auto insurance.

I have applied for energy assistance (12-16 weeks for approval or denial), medical assistance (waiting on approval/denial), EBT/Cash Assistance (waiting on approval/denial), I can visit a food pantry twice a month, but I don't get very much since it's only me as my kids are with my ex-wife. I tried applying for section 811 (section 8 for people with disabilities), but the wait list is very long.

I'm also deferred on donating plasma because I'm on too many medications for mental illness and need to get off two of them, which will take some time.

The amount I'm requesting is $2,500.00 (I hope this is not too much to ask). I understand if I do not get any assistance/donations as I know it's not guaranteed, but I will be forever grateful for any donations received and intend to pay it forward when I am able to. Even if this is just shared with others, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm very embarrassed to ask for help like this as I've never had to ask for help like this before.

Thank you for looking!

*** To add, I've checked with Goodwill, ARC, and the Salvation Army and have had no luck. But I will keep trying. ***

There are only 2 days left before my son and I have to leave where we’re currently staying, and I’m running out of options.

For anyone seeing this for the first time, my situation started in August 2025, shortly after my son’s birthday. I became severely ill with complicated diverticulitis, developed sepsis, and went through multiple infections, surgeries, and hospitalizations. Eventually, I had a colon resection and was left with a colostomy.

While I was fighting to survive and spending months in hospitals and medical facilities, I lost my job, apartment, and car. My entire life was turned upside down while I was trying to recover.

I eventually made it back home around April 2026 and started rebuilding. Despite everything, I completed three books, started a fourth, and built EskoDSK AI, including a working MVP and a real-world implementation with a medical courier company. I’m now trying to recruit an early developer/technical partner to help take it further.
Then on August 31, 2026, I underwent my colostomy reversal. Because of extensive scar tissue, the surgery was more complicated and required a larger incision. I later developed another infection at the surgical site and ended up back in the hospital.

I’m home again, but I’m still recovering and receiving daily wound care and medical treatment. I also applied for SSI because my health has made it extremely difficult to work normally, but I was denied and am still dealing with the appeal.
Now I’m facing another immediate crisis.
The place where my son and I are staying is receiving a 7-day eviction notice. We have only 2 days left to figure out where we’re going.
I’m already packing our belongings, looking at weekly-rate rentals, contacting emergency housing resources, checking assistance programs, and trying every option I can find. I’m also specifically looking for somewhere close enough to my son’s school bus route so this situation doesn’t completely disrupt his education.

I’m doing everything I can on my own, but my health limits how quickly I can earn money. I’m still recovering from surgery and an infection and receiving daily wound care. I can’t simply pick up quick work and make enough money in two days.
My most immediate goal is $1,400, which would put my son and me into a weekly-rate rental for at least one month. That would give us somewhere stable to stay while I continue medical care, recover, work toward income, pursue my SSI appeal, and find a longer-term solution.

I’m not asking anyone to fix my entire life. I’m asking for help getting through this immediate crisis.

If you can donate, even a small amount helps. If you can’t, please share this post or the fundraiser. A share could reach someone who can help or someone who knows of a resource I haven’t found.
I’ve lost a lot over the past year, but I’m still fighting to rebuild. I just don’t want my son and me to lose our place to live too.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, offered resources, or simply taken the time to read our story. Every bit of support means a lot to us.

My name is Jason Alexander, and I am fighting to protect my relationship with my son, Noah.

This is not a standard divorce or custody disagreement, nor is my financial situation the result of irresponsible spending. I have faced two separate, multi-day restraining order trials. One in 2023 and another that just concluded in August 2026. In both instances, after reviewing the evidence, the court completely dismissed the cases against me, validating my absolute innocence. These accusations were fabricated entirely to sever my relationship with my son and have 0 basis in truth. In 2024, shortly after the first case was dismissed, the divorce was filed for. Since then, I have wanted nothing but to move on with my life peacefully, and to have our son maintain a positive relationship with both of his parents.

While I am relieved the record is clear, surviving these trials has financially devastated me. The true story goes far deeper than what I am willing to post publicly, but the resulting financial reality is documented in the images linked below. My initial 2023 trial cost roughly $25,000 (a $10,000 retainer plus the $15,432.20 final invoice shown). The recent 2026 trial cost an additional $26,753. I paid these entirely on credit cards.

To protect our marital home from foreclosure, I drained my remaining savings paying the full mortgage for over a year after relocating to Arkansas for my safety, while my ex-wife occupied the home and refused to contribute until the bank was threatening foreclosure and the court ordered her to keep the payments current. They would not order the home be sold however, despite my request. With my savings depleted, I took a $15,000 cash advance on my Logix card just to continue making the minimum payments on my debt while waiting for the court to approve the sale of the house.

Of my roughly $72,000 in total credit card debt, over $65,000 is directly tied to defending myself in court and keeping myself financially afloat during the process. I want to be clear that this is not a case of reckless overspending.

I manage severe inflammatory arthritis. I am trying to get approved for SSDI, and am fighting a recent denial. Earlier this week, I attempted to donate plasma, but due to recently being put on a low dose prednisone to manage my arthritis pain, I was deferred. As long as I am on Prednisone, I will not be allowed to donate.

Recently, a close friend of mine randomly gave me a donation to help with my legal fees (I did not ask). After giving me the money, he said I had a powerful testimony and should share my story on GoFundMe, so I did. In order to get the word out, I am now sharing that story here.

I do have equity in my home that could be used to pay all of my debts, but since my ex is refusing to sell and the courts will not order the house to be sold until later in the divorce process, I cannot access this equity. As such, I am stuck drowning in debt and legal fees until the court decides to order the house be sold. We have a trial scheduled for May 2027, but the way things have been delayed, I’m not even sure it will be resolved by then.

The funds I am raising will go strictly toward making the minimum monthly payments on my debt, and paying my ongoing legal expenses as needed to finalize my divorce and protect my son until the marital house is sold. I am asking for help to bridge the gap until my property settlement is finalized so I do not lose my son in the process.

Thank you for reading. If you cannot donate, sharing this link means the world to us.

Hi everyone! My name is Isabel and I am currently fundraising to help pay for my cat’s cancer treatment. My cat Mink is four years old and recently got diagnosed with Feline Injection Site Sarcoma, which is a rare and locally aggressive form of cancer. We got the diagnosis about 4 weeks ago and have been going to vet appointments weekly to get biopsies, bloodwork, x-rays, and any other medical care she needs. Unfortunately, with the location and size of her tumor, the vet has recommended leg amputation as the best way to ensure the cancer does not come back. Thankfully animals are very resilient and I am more than confident she will live a very happy life as a tripod, however now the main battle now is paying for her surgery. So I opened this GoFundMe with the hopes of getting some financial help to get my sweet girl the medical care she needs!

I'm currently in college living with my sister, she works full time and I have a part time job but it's not enough to pay for all of Mink's treatment. We unfortunately don't have pet insurance at this time because it's difficult for us to afford, we don't even have health insurance for ourselves :(

We are hoping to raise around $3,500 to pay for her surgery and any additional post op care that she needs. We've already been able to raise around $1,100 on our own by sharing with friends and family but we haven't been able to get much traction otherwise. We've already spent around $1,400 to get her to this point of diagnosis and treatment but we now have to come up with the funds for the entire surgery. I've uploaded any and all medical documents we've gotten over the past few weeks, including vet bills from past appointments, biopsy results, x-rays, doctor recommendations, and the surgery estimate. I also have pictures of her tumor but I haven't wanted to post it publicly because the images are very gory - you can see the mass on her back leg in the x-ray attached.

Please feel free to reach out to me to verify or confirm the legitimacy of any information in this post! We would be immensely grateful for any sort of interaction or donation! Truly, anything helps, even $1 makes a difference. Even if you do not donate anything, sharing or interacting with this post helps us more than you know! Thank you to anyone who has donated to our cause and thank you to everyone that has taken the time out of their day to read or interact with this post!

My girlfriend and I who live together are going through a really rough time financially. We both work at a concession stand at little league baseball games on weekends, but there weren't any tournaments for us to work at for several weeks in a row in August and into September. We also lost our food stamps in August because we were making too much money in June/July when it was busy. We've both been looking for second jobs to no avail.

Because of all this, we haven't been able to pay our September or October rent ($1000 due on the first of each month) or our electric bill for September (attached). Additionally, about a week ago, we got a letter in the mail from DMV saying the registration for our car is being suspended due to it being uninsured as we havent been able to afford the monthly payment for insurance, and to get the registration reinstated we have to pay a fee of over $800 and also get insurance again.

We expect that our landlord will threaten evict us soon. This is a last resort to try to stay in our home. If you see this, please consider donating and/or sharing our story. We would be so grateful for anything you can do to help.
