I never thought I would be here, asking strangers for help.

I know $25,000 is a tremendous amount of money to ask someone for. I know there are countless people out there who need help, and I know this is a long shot.

But before you decide whether my story is worth believing in, I want you to know what that $25,000 would mean to me.

It wouldn’t buy me luxury.

It wouldn’t give me a perfect life.

It would give me room to breathe.

For the last six years, it feels like life has kept knocking me down just as I was beginning to stand back up.

After a 24-year marriage, I went through a divorce and had to start over. Then I fell in love again and had my heart broken. I was sexually assaulted. I bought a house and tried to create a safe, stable place where I could finally begin rebuilding my life.

Then I entered a three-year relationship with a man who became extremely abusive.

I gave everything I could to that relationship. I tried to help him. I tried to love him through his struggles. I tried to make things work.

Instead, I experienced extreme verbal abuse, physical abuse, and the destruction of my personal property. My home was damaged and busted up, taking away the feeling of safety that I had worked so hard to create.

Eventually, I found the strength to remove him from my life.

I was finally beginning to recover. I was starting to believe that maybe my life could become peaceful again.

Then came the words no one ever wants to hear:

I have Stage 4 ovarian cancer.

Everything changed again.

• I went through six rounds of chemotherapy.

Then came a 14-hour surgery.

My doctors removed all of my female reproductive organs, my appendix, a portion of my colon, and part of my peritoneal wall.

Today, my fight isn’t over.

I receive immunotherapy every three weeks, along with hormone therapy that comes with some incredibly difficult side effects.

There are days when I’m exhausted. There are days when my body hurts. There are days when I wonder how I am supposed to keep doing all of this.

But then I remind myself:

I’m still here.

After everything that has happened, I am still here.

And I am grateful.

Grateful for another morning.
Grateful for the people who love me.
Grateful for the moments that make me laugh.
Grateful for every day I get to wake up and keep going.

I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me.

What I want is a chance to get out from underneath the financial burden that has grown alongside everything else.

I currently have approximately $25,000 in credit card debt.

The problem is that I can barely keep up with the minimum payments. Those payments consume so much of what I have that I don’t have enough left over for everything else I need.

So I use the credit cards again.

Then the balance grows.

Then the minimum payment gets higher.

Then I need the cards again.

It’s a vicious cycle, and I’m exhausted from trying to stay ahead of it.

I’m keeping my head barely above water, but I’m doing it.

Every single day, I’m trying.

If I were fortunate enough to receive $25,000, I could finally pay off that debt and break the cycle.

I could stop watching every dollar disappear into minimum payments.

I could stop worrying about which bill has to wait.

And I could finally put some money toward the much-needed repairs on my home, which has already endured more damage than a house should ever have to.

Most importantly, I could take the energy I’ve been spending on financial survival and put it toward healing, living, and enjoying the life I fought so hard to keep.

I know this is a long shot.

I know there are probably people with stories that are easier to understand, easier to explain, or easier to choose.

But this is my story.

I didn’t choose the divorce.

I didn’t choose the heartbreak.

I didn’t choose to be sexually assaulted.

I didn’t choose an abusive relationship.

I certainly didn’t choose Stage 4 cancer.

But I did choose to keep going.

Every time life knocked me down, I got back up.

And I’m still getting back up.

So here I am, doing something that is incredibly difficult for me:

I’m asking for help.

Not because I expect it.

Not because I think I’m more deserving than anyone else.

But because I believe that sometimes, when you’ve spent years carrying everything yourself, it’s okay to finally reach out and say:

“I can’t do this part alone.”

If you choose to help me, you won’t just be paying off a credit card.

You’ll be giving me the opportunity to close a chapter of my life that has been filled with debt, fear, abuse, illness, and survival.

You’ll be giving me a chance to start the next chapter with a little less weight on my shoulders.

And maybe, just maybe, I’ll finally get to find out what life feels like when I’m not constantly waiting for the next thing to knock me down.

So yes…

I’m begging for money.

And I’m putting my pride aside to ask:

Please pick me.

Please give me the chance to breathe.

Please give me the chance to repair my home.

Please give me the chance to focus on fighting cancer instead of fighting credit card bills.

After everything I’ve survived, I am still here with a hope-filled heart.

And if someone chooses to help me, I promise I will carry that kindness with me for the rest of my life.

Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you for seeing me.

And most of all, thank you for considering giving me a chance to finally stop surviving…

and start living. ❤️

My name is Kody and I’m 24, I’m not the smartest apple and I’m terrible at speaking to people but I work hard and struggle to make ends meet. I have my HS diploma and yet I struggled to find a job for a few years. When I finally found one it was landscaping; brutal heat $16/h pay and no benefits. It’s killing me and I can barely afford to pay my bills and buy food which I barely eat and I feel stuck all the time. I currently live in a closet paying $500 a month with people that aren’t always agreeable but I can’t find anything else.

I am asking for help paying for a truck so I can get out of this landscaping job and find something I can enjoy that’ll keep me financially stable. It pains me to beg because that’s not who I am but I’m afraid I’m going to drain myself just to end up homeless.

Hello,

I have been independently developing a counter-UAS (C-UAS) system with the goal of pursuing a U.S. Department of Defense SBIR contract. After numerous iterations and failures, I have successfully completed the initial stages of the prototype. The system is now capable of autonomous flight, and I am currently focused on developing and refining the detection system.

I prefer not to disclose the specific detection methodology at this stage, but I would be happy to provide additional technical details to qualified potential investors or partners under the appropriate circumstances.

I am currently seeking funding because I am reaching the limits of what I can accomplish with my available resources. Much of the testing and development has been conducted using inexpensive, off-the-shelf materials and components. While this approach has helped me explore ways to make the system more efficient and cost-effective, I have reached a point where certain higher-quality components are necessary to properly evaluate the system’s capabilities.

For example, the current prototype uses a three-microphone circular array for acoustic detection. The microphones are inexpensive, off-the-shelf components. Higher-quality microphones with improved sensitivity and noise-rejection characteristics could significantly improve the system’s ability to distinguish relevant signals from environmental noise.

The microphone array is just one example. There are several other components and subsystems where I have intentionally used lower-cost hardware due to funding constraints. Access to additional capital would allow me to evaluate higher-performance components, conduct more rigorous testing, and determine which technologies provide meaningful improvements versus which can be replaced with simpler, lower-cost alternatives.

My goal is ultimately to develop a system that is not only technically capable, but also practical and cost-effective to manufacture and deploy.

I understand to win such a large contract by a solo engineer is a long shot. I do believe that even if I cannot win that it will open other doors and pathways for me to go down where I can find success. I truly believe that mastery is repetition and perfection is iteration. It is only a matter of time before I win.

If you do donate I would be more than willing to workout some type of deal for equity or something instead. I’m not sure how that would work right now but we can talk about it if/when we get there.

I am 39 year old male from Seattle, WA. About 8 years ago I began teaching myself to code, work on electronics, data engineering, train models, and more. You can view some of my work below on my website, github, and huggingface. I started to freelance engineer a few years ago after I researching into the nuances and subtleties of the human voice . I created a model that can whisper very convincingly. This brought me very quick success, but it was not what I loved to do. I love building things with my hands and mind. So I decided to move into robotics and see what I could make happen. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Hello beautiful people:) I’m 53 year old female from a small town.  I’ve lived here for the most part of 50 years. Went to small public school graduated with honors. Completed some college classes. I have 2 children one of them has a good life. The other.. 35 in prison for murder. The same shooting is responsible for my disability from severe PTSD. last 91/2 years have been traumatic as well. I have been stalked, stolen from, abused by my other half. I have been told i was going to be unalived VERY SOON! I have no friends no family no place to go. Have received in the last 2 weeks 3 different threats! This is coordinated with a group of people. I  Have some proof. I need funding!! This is the only way i could think of to get out of here! I have been told by authorities not to call them or I would be charged. I’m scared for my life!

I had several audio recordings of someone coming in my room while I was sleeping! I had several items with finger prints, cigarette butts with DNA on them. I have had laser lights on flashing around me for day and weeks at a time. Things have disappeared and later returned in strange places. my truck currently has been messed with. The front end is strangely loose. I’ve had papers I’ve never seen before in my console, along with gas receipts from a station I’ve not been to. it has a credit card ref number on it!! People follow me everywhere I go. The last 3 people that I associate with has said “ what if you really are alone” one said “ you have to leave my house cause something really really bad is about to happen to you and I don’t want it to happen here or around my house” and the other said” do you ever wish you could just disappear without anyone knowing where you are?”

I have been hit in the back of the head on numerous occasions, by I’m not sure. My dog was poisoned. My trucks battery has been disconnected more than once. My mail has been stolen. I have found a signature on my phone special features. I have heard 2 sides of conversations about me in a whisper more than I want to admit. I have recorded my ex talking to someone in the room/ closet . I have recorded my ex doing questionable things.. lying when I know what I heard what I saw . I have been made to look as though I was slowly loosing my sanity by the very people I call my friends. Also have had 4 other people say that my mother was/is paying people to do things that scare me!

Thank you for listening. I appreciate anything you could spare so i can change cars  leave the state. motel till I can find a cheap place.. and keep doing that till they stop harassing me! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! God bless:) Thank you C

I am a divorced christian women with 3 adult sons, 1  married with a wife and daughter, one son has a boy and girl in another state and a single son.  A little over a year ago the son that’s married was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer NutCarcinoma of course as he went through his illness it was costly and I tried to help out as much as I could plus his brother from the other state came to help as well which was a cost too.  He only lasted three months after his diagnosis.  It’s been very difficult mentally and financially.  Of course there was the funeral my other son had to go back and forth from state he’s from AND his kids.  Several months later his daughter graduated from high school and had a open house.  I helped out as much as I could and foolishly overextended myself and dug myself into a financial hole.  Now she’s off to collage, my 88 year old dad recently had a stroke and can’t live alone anymore is now living with me and my sister.  With living with losing my son is the worst pain a mother can bear.  This financial burden is the icing on the cake.  Can someone help me with   $ 7,000.00 Please?  Thank you.  GOD BLESS YOU!

hello I am asking for help to be able to get past some debt issues I’ve accrued and really need a chance to be able to breathe again. Last year I bought my first home I used money I had been saving since I started working and decided to make that step in my life. With all my savings put into the house I was able to still keep afloat with the job I have but hours have severely decreased over time and the state of the job market has made it extremely hard to get a second job. I have been doing instacart to try and make up for the loss but have barely made enough to cover a bill or two every month. Normally after bills and the mortgage and other necessary payments like Gas, Groceries, etc. I come out with about 30 dollars. On top of this i have accrued credit card debt trying to pay for the bills I couldn’t or if something was needed and it has racked up to about $1300 over time and I’m only able to pay off little chunks of the debt when I can. I also had to take an advance out with my job to be able to handle an issue with my car to be able to still make it to work and have been paying that off with $400 a month taken out of my paychecks. I have been barely staying above water as of the time of writing this went into the negative on my account by $500. I just want to feel like I’m not drowning and no matter what I’ve done to try and get ahead it doesn’t seem like enough.
I have included my cashapp name below I apologize for the name made it a long time ago.

Dear friend,

On October 7, 2019, while living overseas, I lost my dear husband of only six years to cancer. It was very aggressive prostate cancer, from the time he was diagnosed he lived about 6 months. Heartbroken, I returned to the USA trying to pick up my life again. I started working for a small religious non profit organization. Unfortunately, about two years and a half ago I was laid off because of forced downsizing due to a scandal. I supposed I would be able to find work, but have been dealing with bone on bone osteoarthritis in my knees and hips. I am slated to have my first surgery mid September. Due to pain, both physical and emotional due to both my husband’s death and the trauma from the drama around losing my job, I have yet to find employment.

I started to live on credit cards. I know that was dumb. My current debt is around $18,000. My current income is just $966 from my husband’s social security. I went to a credit card  help agency that dealt with the card companies to lower interest rates and make monthly payments. The problem is, with having to pay for rent, car insurance and my cell phone bill, and the credit card payments I only have $60 left over. That’s $60 for food, gasoline and basic things for life. If I could pay off the $18,000 in credit card debt, I would be able to live a bit better, not worrying about how to eat or do normal life things. Yes, I do have food stamps, but just over $140 worth that doesn’t stretch far with grocery prices as they are.

I would greatly appreciate your kindness in helping me pay off this debt. Thank you so much for your consideration. May you be blessed a thousand times more in return.

Hello. I am someone who made mistakes years ago. Instead of working to improve myself, I gave in to porn addiction and spent too much money on things I knew wouldn’t last, but were fulfilling for a short term. I am asking for help paying off the debt I got from that time in my life. I have since beat my addiction, found a loving wife and am in a much better place mentally. However, I want this debt gone so I can move forward and focus on giving my family the lives they deserve. I am currently working two jobs, unable to save any money as it all goes to repaying the debt I have. I have several sources of debt, but I am only asking for help repaying one of them. Once that one is gone, I know I can manage to repay the others myself, no matter the amount of work I have to put in. Thank you for reading, and for your time and help. You are appreciated more than you know for helping me get my life back.

Dear  begging money

I am writing to seek your support for the Monarch Mission Foundation, Inc., an organization dedicated to helping unhoused individuals by providing shelter, clean clothing, trade skills training, and employment assistance. We have already registered the foundation and launched our website at https://mmissionf.com.

Unfortunately, our initiative recently faced a significant setback. I personally donated $5,000  to a friend to create our marketing efforts, but he unexpectedly passed away with no next of kin, making it impossible to recover those funds. Due to my own health challenges with cancer and living on Social Security, I currently lack the financial means to replace this money independently.

Despite these obstacles, I am fully committed to finishing this project. I am reaching out to ask for your help—not for myself, but for the people who have lost everything and simply need a chance to rebuild their lives.

Please visit our website to learn more about our mission and how you can support this cause. Thank you for your time and compassion.

Sincerely,

–
