It’s always been difficult for me to ask for help . I will give help easily and enjoy doing so but , I am having to listen to my own advice which is ” Just ask ! ”

 

I am a 35 year old single moma of my awesome daughter who is now 5. We’ve been fighting together from the day I found out she was in my belly and I do everything in my life ultimately for her to have a life she deserves. Im not perfect, and I take responsibility for any wrong situation I perhaps end up in. Why waste time playing the ol blame game, even if its easy and in my current one it would be. However, I choose to only blame me and learn from my choices and be totally transparent and honest because to me that’s more worthy of respect.

 

Ok, long story short: Im a homeowner that came into full ownership before expecting to… and if it can go wrong, it’s gone wrong. Right now, my once beautiful house is filled with black mold, structural damage from having poor drainage , and no gutters . I have some pretty major chronic health issues such as Type 1 Diabetes, that prevent me from working but don’t qualify for disability.  I resell things online to barely make ends meet for my sweet daughter. The prices recently qouted to me to be able to have a healthy livable home are near impossible for me. Recently, cavities were found in my lung from mold exposure but what can a girl do really? Im humbly asking for any support to be able to remediate my home — before I’m forced to just have to leave it. Its caused much depression and mental health issues , hence the title that also says Restoring Lives. Because through home restoration , you’ll be also Restoring the lives of my daughter and I . Thank you to anyone that’s made it this far reading this even. Love and Light!

Full disclosure, this pains me to do this. I’ve always taken great pride and comfort in providing for my wife and children. However, like many others, this economic downturn has been a devastating blow to my finances. The cost of living of essentials like food, gas for the car, utilities, and rent increases have been like treading quicksand. It’s been a slow, horrifying descent into the abyss of financial ruin. Every time it seems like I’ll be in good spot financially and able to at least break even for the month, disaster strikes. Now things are piling up faster than the paychecks can cover. My employer has begun to rapidly lose business, and I desperately need to find better paying, more stable employment. This is quite frankly, terrifying, as I’m acutely aware of the possibility I may be in between jobs while the bills continue to pile up. Our car needs work, and I’ve recently developed a medical issue that will require professional help, probably surgery. The rent is behind, and while we haven’t reached eviction notices yet thankfully, the threat looms on the horizon. I don’t have legal or illegal vices I’m wasting money on, I’m just at the point where I have to swallow my pride and say: I need help. I don’t care about myself. All that matters to me is my beautiful, supportive, loving wife and our three incredible children. Whatever it takes to provide for them until I can get to a better financial position is what I’ll do. If that means humbling myself and asking for assistance from a good Samaritan, so be it. Whatever you’re able to afford is immensely appreciated. I pray for peace, blessings and lifelong success for whoever reads this, regardless of your ability to help. Take care.

On June 26, 2026, I lost my job while struggling with an autoimmune disease that severely drains my energy and causes chronic fatigue, pain, and inflammation. I also live with IBS-D and diabetes, making it difficult to work outside the home or in a traditional workplace.

Since losing my income, I have fallen behind on essential bills. I am now facing the frightening possibility of becoming homeless and losing my transportation—the very things I need to remain safe, attend medical appointments, and continue searching for work.

The extreme heat makes my health conditions significantly worse, so the thought of losing stable housing or reliable transportation is terrifying. I am actively searching for a remote position that will allow me to support myself while managing my health, but I need help staying afloat until I can secure one.

My goal is to raise $15,000 to help cover housing, transportation, utilities, food, medical needs, and overdue bills during this difficult transition.

Asking for help is not easy for me. I want to work, regain my stability, and move forward—but right now, I cannot do it alone. Any donation, no matter the amount, would give me more time and security while I search for a remote job. If you are unable to donate, sharing my story would mean just as much.

Thank you for reading, supporting me, and helping me hold on to hope during one of the hardest seasons of my life.  paypal.me/needhelpnow188

I never imagined I would be in a position where I would have to ask for help like this, but life has a way of humbling you. If you’ve ever struggled financially or felt like you were doing everything you could just to stay afloat, then you know how hard it is to ask for help.

The past year has been one of the most difficult years of my life, both emotionally and financially. My family went through an almost separation, and the stress, uncertainty, and financial strain that came with it affected every part of our lives. We fought hard to keep our family together, and while I’m incredibly grateful that we made it through that chapter, rebuilding financially has been much harder than I ever expected.

Like so many families, we found ourselves trying to choose which bills could wait so we could keep food on the table, put gas in the car, and take care of everyday necessities. Unfortunately, our Southern California Edison bill continued to grow until it became something that now feels impossible to overcome.

My current Edison balance is $3,841.05.

I tried to set up another payment arrangement, hoping I could slowly catch up, but because I’ve already used the maximum number of payment arrangements allowed, Edison has informed me that I must first pay $2,430.91 before I can even qualify for another payment plan.

I have until August 14 to come up with that amount.

To be completely honest, I don’t know how I’m going to do it.

This bill has become something that keeps me awake at night. I constantly find myself worrying about the possibility of our electricity being disconnected. Living in California, where summer temperatures regularly climb above 105 degrees, losing power isn’t just an inconvenience, it could become dangerous. The thought of not having air conditioning during the hottest part of the year is terrifying.

I’ve spent countless nights lying awake, running numbers over and over in my head, wondering what else I can sell, what extra work I can pick up, or what bill has to wait next. It’s exhausting carrying that weight every single day.

As difficult as it is to ask, I’m reaching out because I simply can’t do this alone.

For anyone who would like verification, I’m happy to attach a screenshot of my Edison bill, which shows the current balance of $3,841.05 and the requirement to pay $2,430.91 before I’m eligible for another payment arrangement.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Asking for help has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but I’m choosing to believe there are kind people who understand that sometimes even the hardest-working families hit a season where they need a hand.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, your prayers, your encouragement, and any support you’re able to give. It truly means more than words can express.

Hi, my name is Sharonda, and I am a single parent currently going through a difficult financial period. Despite doing my best to provide for my family, I have fallen behind on essential bills, including rent, utilities, groceries, transportation/repairs, and childcare.

I am trying to raise 10,000 to help cover these immediate expenses and bring my household back to a stable place. Any contribution, no matter the amount, would make a meaningful difference for my family. Donations will be used toward the most urgent expenses.

Asking for help is not easy, but I am grateful for any financial support, encouragement, or sharing of this request. Thank you for taking the time to read about our situation and for helping us through this challenging period.

To everyone taking the time to read my story,

I never imagined I would be in a position where I needed to ask strangers for help. After dedicating my career as a first responder, my focus was always on helping others through some of the hardest moments of their lives. I took pride in serving my community and never expected that one day I would be the one reaching out for support.

Retirement has been much more difficult than I anticipated. Rising living expenses, unexpected bills, and financial setbacks have left me struggling to keep up with basic necessities. Like many retired first responders, I live on a fixed income that simply doesn’t stretch as far as it once did.

Asking for help is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I’ve always believed in working hard and standing on my own, but sometimes life has a way of humbling us. Right now, I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat while preserving my independence and dignity.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, would help ease the financial burden and allow me to focus on getting through this difficult chapter. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing my campaign would mean just as much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering helping a retired first responder who spent a career helping others. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion mean more than words can express, and I will always be grateful for any support you can provide.

Thank you, and may you and your loved ones stay safe.

Hello, I’m a 66-year-old facing an uncertain and increasingly difficult future. After a lifetime of hard work, my declining health has left me unable to continue working. I live in an average rent home but it still drains my very limited resources. I am in constant fear of eviction for not having enough to pay rent.

With no remaining savings or assets, I’m turning to you for help through this GoFundMe campaign. My only hope to secure a stable, dignified life where I can visit my children and grandchildren and spend whatever time is left with my family. I’ve worked since I was 14 years old (my parents signed their permission for me to do so) and so many of my later work years were spent working two and often 3 jobs at a time. There was no time for my young family because we needed to survive financially. I was deprived of so much because of the financial pressures. Medical challenges (e.g., aortal aneurysm, “respiratory/pulmonary issues” (I’ve never smoked) and inability to walk more than 5 minutes now due to severe hip issue) an inoperable hernia and the inability to work as I used to, have left me with nothing to fall back on.

The fear of losing my home and being homeless at this age and condition is frightening and depressing. I cannot stand long enough to work at jobs I used to work at. My health issues on a daily basis have been difficult enough to make me think about whatever future I have left. Your support can help change that. I’m humbly ask for as many contributions as possible. I would place any funds into an interest-bearing account that could provide a regular income to supplement my small social security income. If I receive enough donations, I intend on purchasing a mobile home on land of my own to avoid monthly payments.

Every dollar can bring me closer to security and peace, which is something I have never experienced despite long, hard work all of my life. I have NO addictions – I never use alcohol, illicit drugs nor do I gamble.  If you can’t donate, sharing my story would mean everything. Thank you for considering giving me a chance to live my remaining years with hope and stability.

On February 20th, I was involved in a serious car accident that left me with four broken ribs, a broken wrist, and a fractured C7 in my spine. I am currently unable to work for at least a few more months. My car was totaled, and as a result of the accident and its aftermath, I lost my apartment and am living with friends.  Most of my belongings have had to go into storage which is almost $200 per month.  I also had to rehome my precious emotional support cat, Charlie. (This has been the worst for me.)

The money i recieve through this fundraiser will buy me another car,  pay for taxes, Title, and tags and insurance and pay rental fees on my storage unit.  I am able to drive finally but not far distances yet. Thank you so much for any support you can give—it means more than words can say.

Life can change in an instant, and mine did with the sudden and unexpected passing of my beloved wife. Losing my partner, best friend, and the person I planned my future with has left me heartbroken after 26 years. I am struggling to find my way forward. The emotional pain of this loss has been overwhelming, but it has also brought significant financial hardship that I never imagined facing.

Shortly after my wife’s passing, I also lost my corporate job. The combination of grieving such a devastating loss while suddenly being without income has made it incredibly difficult to keep up with everyday expenses. I am doing everything I can to get back on my feet, actively searching for employment and trying to rebuild my life one day at a time.

In addition to caring for myself through this difficult period, I am also responsible for my two beloved fur babies. They have been a tremendous source of comfort and unconditional love during the darkest days of my life. They are family to me, and I am committed to providing them with the food, veterinary care, and love they deserve. However, meeting their needs while struggling to cover my own basic living expenses like has become increasingly challenging.

I am reaching out with humility to ask for any assistance you may be able to provide. Whether it is financial support, help with groceries, pet supplies, or simply sharing my story with others, every act of kindness makes a meaningful difference. Your generosity would help ease the burden of rent, utilities, food, transportation, and the ongoing care of my two faithful companions while I continue searching for stable employment.

As difficult as this journey has been, I have not given up hope. I believe brighter days are ahead, and I am determined to work hard to regain my independence and stability. Until then, I am grateful for the compassion and support of those willing to help me through this incredibly painful chapter of my life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering helping me during this time of unimaginable loss. Your kindness, prayers, encouragement, and support mean more than words can express and remind me that I am not facing this journey alone.

My name is Nisha, and I am working toward purchasing a dependable used vehicle.

I currently work full-time earning $17.50 per hour. I have continued working hard to support myself, but saving for a reliable vehicle has been difficult. For a period of time, money was deducted from my paychecks because of an overpayment that had to be repaid. To stay current on my bills during that time, I worked overtime whenever it was available. More recently, my work schedule was reduced from 10-hour shifts to 8-hour shifts, making it even harder to build savings.

Reliable transportation would allow me to continue getting to work consistently while expanding my job search to better-paying opportunities that are difficult to reach without a vehicle.

I am not trying to purchase a luxury car. My goal is to buy a safe, dependable used vehicle that will help me become more financially stable and independent.

Any contribution, regardless of the amount, will go toward the purchase of the vehicle, registration, insurance, and any necessary repairs. Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

I am the one single sibling in my family and am requesting assistance with cash to pay for medical bills for my mother, and essentials like rent, food and essentials for us both.  Currently laid off after my employer was purchased and have been unable to find stable work even after hundreds of job applications to many different fields.  Have been donating plasma while seeking state help as an assisted caregiver, but the process is taking forever, and I am unsure how many hours they will approve.

I have done the math and believe $2500 total would buy me enough time.

Thank you very much for your consideration, I know the current economy is very rough and take absolutely any help you might generously offer with sincere gratitude and appreciation.  Thank you again.  My PayPal link:

Hello,

I am not usually one to ask for help but I am at the point now where my bills are piling up and I’m struggling to put food on the table. I do work but it is not enough to cover our basic needs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
