Hello There:

I am reaching out with humility to ask for financial assistance for myself and my family. This is not easy for me to do, because I have always wanted to work hard, provide for my family, and handle my responsibilities on my own. However, I have reached a point where I realize that I cannot get out of this financial situation without some help.

I am a Christian, and my faith in Jesus Christ is extremely important to me. I am doing my best to trust God, remain faithful, and continue doing what I can to provide for my family. I work full time and work overtime whenever I am able to, but with the cost of living in California, it has become increasingly difficult to keep up with everything. I am married and have five children, all of whom are school-aged or growing up quickly. Providing for them has been a tremendous responsibility, and lately it has become extremely difficult financially.

Since around April, I have found myself trapped in a cycle of payday loans and lines of credit. I originally turned to these services because I was trying to cover necessary expenses and make sure my family had what they needed. Unfortunately, once I borrowed the money, I found myself having to borrow again to cover other obligations. I have remained current on all of these payments, but I feel like I am constantly moving money around just to stay afloat. I desperately want to break this cycle and not have to borrow from these companies again.

At this time, I have approximately:

• Cash App: $400
• Possible Finance: $500
• MoneyLion: $500
• EarnIn: $400
• Dave: $630
• Thrive line of credit: $500
• NetCredit: approximately $3,000

I also have other significant financial obligations that I am continuing to pay:

• Car loan: approximately $6,500
• Personal loan through my credit union: approximately $9,500
• Court restitution: approximately $14,000
• Debt-consolidation loan that I took out to pay off my credit-card debt

I want to emphasize that I am current on my payments. I am not asking for help because I have stopped trying or because I am refusing to take responsibility. I am working, paying my bills, and doing everything I can. My concern is that the payday loans and lines of credit are keeping me trapped in a cycle where my income goes toward repayment, leaving me without enough room for everyday family expenses and emergencies.

My living situation is also very modest. My wife, our five children, and I live together in a two-bedroom apartment. We are doing our best with what we have. I also have a cat payment and other normal household expenses that continue to add up. California is an expensive place to live, and despite working full time and taking overtime when available, my income simply has not been enough to get ahead.

I also do not come from a financially stable family. My family has not been in a position to help me financially, so I do not have relatives I can turn to when things become difficult. I have tried to carry this burden myself, but I have reached the point where I need to ask others for help.

I am not looking for someone to simply pay my bills indefinitely. My goal is to receive enough assistance to pay off these payday loans and lines of credit so that I can stop re-borrowing and finally become financially stable. If I could eliminate these high-pressure debts, I believe I would have much more room in my monthly budget to provide for my wife and children, continue paying my other obligations, and work toward becoming debt-free.

Any amount would genuinely help. Whether it is $10, $50, $100, or more, every contribution would help me move closer to breaking this cycle. I understand that everyone has their own financial responsibilities, so even if someone cannot contribute financially, sharing this request would mean a great deal to my family.

As a Christian, I believe God calls us to help carry one another’s burdens, and I am praying that God will provide through the generosity and kindness of others. I am committed to continuing to work, continuing to pay what I owe, and making better financial decisions going forward.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read my story. Thank you for considering helping my family during a very difficult season. Any assistance, encouragement, prayers, or sharing of this fundraiser would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you, and God bless you and your family.

Hi everyone,

I finally got out of an abusive home environment I was in, but I had to take an unpaid domestic violence leave of absence to do it. Legally my job was required to let me take the leave of absence and hold my job for me, but they weren’t required to pay me for it. I have been trying to search for some simple freelance gigs here and there to make-up the lost income, but since I’ve been trying to get the many logistics of moving residences sorted out I haven’t had the time to do it. Now I’m in hot water after playing bills roulette, since without weeks of pay there isn’t enough money to pay everything.

I can’t ask my family for assistance because I’m moving to get away from their abuse, and while I do have friends that would help me, in this job market they aren’t able to. I’ve been so stressed out over the past year that I started to unconsciously pulling my hair out. I also exhibited so many adverse physical effects that I began trying to get myself out of the house by petsitting in other people’s homes, on top of my long-term full-time job that I was still doing.

I’m physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted—but more scared than ever now that I once again have a stable home and the possibility of a stable life at stake. If you can find it within your heart to help, please know that your generosity will not be taken for granted. You’d be giving to someone who has been just barely scraping by and performing customer service at home for years, to try to keep the peace with abusive individuals—that would finally be able to start to build something solid for herself.

Anything helps, and thank you for reading this.

​To Whom It May Concern,

​I am writing this updated letter to provide a more complete and detailed picture of my situation, as my previous correspondence was far too brief to convey the full extent of the challenges I am facing.

​I am a 52-year-old woman currently living in California, far from the place I call home and the family I love most. Five years ago, I relocated here with my partner, who had secured employment at a local shipyard. We moved with high hopes, believing this step would bring us long-term stability. However, our lives took a sudden turn when he suffered a severe work injury that resulted in him being laid off. Without that income, our financial cushion vanished, leaving us financially stranded thousands of miles away from our support system.

​Since then, my circumstances have become overwhelming. I recently suffered a severe loss of vision—over 90% of my sight—which has drastically altered my daily life. Due to my severe visual impairment, I recently suffered a terrible fall that broke my teeth, requiring them to be pulled and replaced with poorly fitting dentures that cause constant discomfort. Modern assistive technology—such as Meta Smart Glasses—along with a trained seeing-eye dog would offer me the safety, mobility, and independence I desperately need right now.

​My living and financial conditions have added to this daily strain. Management routinely ignores basic maintenance, refusing to fix broken appliances in my home. Furthermore, since March, I have been dealing with a bed bug infestation that spread into my unit from elsewhere in the building. I maintain a clean home, and while management has treated other apartments in the complex, they have yet to treat mine. As a diabetic, these ongoing insect bites pose serious health risks. I have been forced to spend what little extra money I have on treatments and sprays just to manage the infestation on my own. Having extra financial resources or legal aid would allow me to hire an attorney to hold my landlords accountable. Unfortunately, I am trapped in high-interest credit card debt that I took on to build credit, alongside an overpriced phone contract, leaving every dollar tied up in predatory fees and basic survival.

​Most heartbreaking of all is the isolation. My entire family—my mother, father, sister, daughter, and son—lives in Alabama. Being unable to afford travel home to see them has caused me to struggle with severe depression, which has worsened significantly without their physical presence and support.

​I am reaching out for any guidance, legal assistance, or financial aid available to help with travel, assistive technology, or my living conditions. If you are able to offer direct financial support, contributions can be sent to my PayPal account at paypal.me/dechristieb. Any help would bring hope and relief back into my life. Thank you deeply for your time, empathy, and consideration.

​Sincerely,

DeChristie Black

hi im a 22 year old woman who has suffered from a rare genetic eye disorder known as retinitis pigmentosa. Sounds made up i know but its very real. And ontop of it i have a rare gene mutation that causes my eyes to take in light more then others initially making me blind to light. In August of 2026 I was in the passanger seat of my step mom’s car with her driving and my sister in the back at a year old. A car suddenly ran a red light and t boned our car throwing us into a tree head on. I was taken to the hospital via ambulance due to passing out on impact. I had removed my seatbelt when I saw the white car heading for us. He was gonna hit the driver back door where my sister sat in her carseat so without thinking I flipped around and gripped her carseat with all my power. I knew her carseat was designed to protect her but I could never know how bad a wreck would be. Upon impact I was almost ejected from the windshield but my sister was safe. My glasses specially designed for my disorder pierced both ears before flying out the window during impact. I attempted to get replacements but couldnt afford them so I tried to buy contacts. Then got scammed. My medical bills have racked up to $25,000 and counting with each appointment needed. Now with my life falling apart my money had to go to emergency funding for transportation to appointments and my rent has crashed down on me at $2200 dollars behind. I’m looking at homelessness and can’t find a way out. I’ve tried loans and talking to everyone I can and even sold a majority of everything I own. Is there anyone who could help me out or know someone who can?

Hi! I am on the website today to ask anyone that can help me and my grandson A) Get help with closing costs for our forever home. B) Get help buying a used but new to me vehicle. All donations will be appreciated tremendously and will help change our lives. We have gone through a lot recently and for the passed two years.                                     To fill you in on how I’ve gotten to the point of getting on a website to literally beg for money. I’ll start with the diagnosis. The end of 2024, I went to the emergency room and found out (doctors exact words) ” Ok, well you have a tumor and your tumor has a LOT of hair and a whole LOT of teeth.” I’ve never heard of that before but at the same time I felt relief and horrified. Turns out that it had been created at the same time as me. I had always felt like I had cancer and my family always thought I was a hypochondriac. We were both wrong. Long story short, on July 15, 2026, I had the tumor taken out and they said my tumor had a tumor. (I’m still in a state of shock) I also had a total hysterectomy. They took everything. For two two years my body thought it was pregnant because of how fast the tumor was growing. I wasn’t able to work due to feeling nauseated and dizzy. It had been taking my nutrients my entire life.                                        A friend of mine, gave me a 1994 Honda Accord last year. It was a stick shift with no air conditioner and I was very happy and grateful. About two weeks ago a huge tree fell on top of it. the damage done cost more than the car was worth. I will post a picture at the bottom. I  didn’t have insurance because I haven’t had any income. I need a car to be able to start work and to be able to get my grandson back and forth to preschool, doctors appointments, etc.                     Now, I’ll tell you why I will be taking care of my grandson. My daughter was in a terrible car accident around January or February. She had two major surgeries following that to replace her hip and her elbow. She was in a wheel chair and bed ridden for a while afterwards. We decided that I would move in with her so I could help her with my grandson and with her. At first she couldn’t use the restroom by herself. If that wasn’t bad enough, now she has went from pain meds to a stronger pain relief and I am scared for her. I will not let this ruin my grandsons life. I have finally talked her into signing over temporary custody to me until she goes through rehab and stays clean for one year and keeps her apartment in the meantime. Her father agreed to pay her rent while she gets help.                                                                                                                                                    This is where I am in life. I wish I would have saved right and did so many things differently, but that can not be changed. I’ve never asked anyone for anything before. I hate to do it now. It’s not as easy these days as it used to be for me to bounce back and come up from the bottom. I will be starting a new job next week as a Quality Auditor thankfully. I need to get my grandson and myself out of here and into a home. With all of that information, I humbly beg for y’alls help.    My Cash App is  $HelpAshandKay

We live in a mobile home park. Her and I got married moved into the house. I was able to keep.us in the house with the full.time job but it was rough. I lost the job in 2025. I was able to get a part time job and unemployment to pay weekly to catch up on rent. After catching up on rent lost unemployment. I worked the part time job still unable to find a full time job. Family helped some and then helped recently I wasn’t able to pay the first 3 months of 2026 and they helped me pay the rent and stop the eviction. But I lost my family because they felt I shouldn’t have to reach out to them for help. Now im at the same point again. I owe 9k for rent. And to stop the eviction again.

“I am asking for your support following recent vision loss. This has created significant challenges, impacting my ability to travel to see my mother and children. Additionally, financial commitments for housing and accessibility technology have led to financial hardship. Any assistance to help manage these difficulties and regain some stability would be deeply appreciated. PayPal me @ dechristieb.

My name is Gina. I am a 56-year-old resident of Modesto, California, and I am writing to you today with an urgent and humble request for financial assistance for my beloved dog, Sparkles.
​Sparkles is an 11-year-old Pomeranian who has been the light of my life since the day I brought her home. At that time, my life looked very different. I was in a stable situation, working hard, and able to provide everything she needed. I never could have predicted the severe hardships that lay ahead. Over the past few years, I have survived some truly awful, heartbreaking circumstances that ultimately lost me my stability. Today, I am living in a shelter in Modesto as I work to rebuild my life from the ground up.
​Throughout every traumatic moment, every loss, and every difficult transition, Sparkles has remained tightly by my side. When everything else in my world fell apart, she was the one constant source of comfort, safety, and unconditional love I had left. She does not care where we sleep or what challenges we face; she simply loves me and stays right beside me, providing emotional support that keeps me going on my hardest days. In many ways, she has been my anchor and the reason I keep pushing forward.
​Right now, Sparkles is facing a sudden medical emergency, and I am desperate to get her the care she needs. Veterinary costs are overwhelmingly high, and as someone currently living in a shelter, I simply cannot afford them on my own. I took Sparkles to the emergency vet last night, but because I only had $50 to my name, they were unable to perform any diagnostic work or treatment. The clinic informed me that essential blood work alone costs $900, and she also urgently requires X-rays to determine what is wrong.
​I am humbly requesting $1,500 in financial aid. While her total care may end up costing more, securing this amount will allow the veterinarians to complete her critical testing, run the necessary X-rays, and immediately begin treatment to stabilize her.
​Sparkles is not just a pet; she is my family, my companion, and my strength. Receiving this assistance would save my dog’s life and lift an unimaginable weight off my shoulders during an already devastating time. Thank you so much for reading my story, considering my request, and for any amount you are able to donate.

Donations can be sent to,:

Hi..My hardworking husband was tricked into investing some money last October. Someone claiming to be from citi group notified him and told him they would help him invest his money.We own a small trucking business that my husband has worked hard for.Needless to say my husband sent them money and watched it grow,only to find out it was just a horrible scam!! They got away with 800k!!  He reported it to the fbi, but there’s very little hope we will get it back..things are starting to get really tight financially for us.We may have to foreclose our beautiful home we have built.We also have 5 wonderful children. Also,our small trucking business is suffering.We are begging for help with funds so we can make ends meet.Any fund great or small will b so much appreciated!! It is very humbling to ask for money. Thank you so much in advance! We are so unworthy!! Here’s my PayPal link

I’m asking for some help because I’m in a tough spot financially and I’m trying to keep myself and my dog from falling even further behind. Right now, I’m living in a motel, and the weekly cost is $474. This is where I live, so keeping the room paid is my biggest immediate concern. I’m doing everything I can, but without enough money coming in, that weekly payment has become extremely difficult to keep up with.

My dog also needs to see a veterinarian. I haven’t been able to make the appointment yet because I’m worried about how I’m going to pay for it. I expect the visit and basic treatment to cost at least around $200, and it could be more depending on what the vet finds. My dog is family, and I don’t want money to be the reason I put off getting the care they need.

Another major problem is transportation. I don’t currently have a car, and not having reliable transportation makes an already difficult situation even harder. I have to figure out rides or other ways to get where I need to go, including getting my dog to the veterinarian and handling basic everyday necessities. I haven’t even seriously started looking for a car because right now I simply don’t have the money to put toward one.

I’m not looking for a handout so I can spend money on unnecessary things. I’m asking for help with basic needs that I genuinely can’t comfortably cover right now: keeping a roof over my head, getting my dog veterinary care, food and necessities, and eventually getting reliable transportation.

If anyone is willing to help, even $10 or $20 would mean something to me. If several people are able to contribute a little, it could make a huge difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing this request would still help me reach someone who might be able to.

I know there are a lot of people asking for help, and I don’t expect anyone to owe me anything. I’m just taking a chance and asking because I really need some help right now. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this, donate, or share. It genuinely means a lot.
