Hi, and thank you for reading.

I’m a working mother in California going through a very difficult financial moment. I work full time, but right now my income isn’t enough to cover urgent bills and basic needs.

I’m not asking for luxury—just temporary support to stabilize and breathe while I catch up. Any help or even sharing this page truly means a lot.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

I never imagined I would be writing something like this, but life has a way of humbling all of us at some point.

Earlier this year, I made the decision to move across the country to live with my mom, who is currently in hospice care. It was not a financial decision, it was a family decision. Being here with her during this time is something I will never regret. However, the move came with unexpected financial weight that has been incredibly difficult to carry.

I am currently facing about $15,000 in urgent expenses, primarily an enormous electric bill, a heating bill, and the cost of retrieving and paying for my car that had to be left in another state during the transition. On top of that, I am still paying rent and trying to manage everyday expenses while rebuilding in a new place.

For context, I am an educated professional artist who works in commercial production. I storyboard, design, and create visual work that requires long hours, focus, and constant hustle. I work extremely hard. But freelance creative work can be inconsistent, and no matter how much effort I put in, it has felt like I am always just barely keeping up rather than truly getting ahead.

What I am asking for is not a handout for comfort, it is a reset.

If I could eliminate these major outstanding bills, I would finally be able to breathe. I could stop living in constant financial triage mode and instead focus fully on building something sustainable and long-term. I have been developing a YouTube animation series- a satirical, original project that I truly believe has real potential. I know with focused time and mental clarity, I can turn it into a revenue-generating platform. But right now, the stress of these looming debts makes it nearly impossible to give it the attention it deserves.

Carrying this financial weight while caring for my mother has been overwhelming. I am doing everything I can, and I am not giving up. I simply need help to get over this immediate wall so I can move forward with stability and purpose.

If you are able to contribute in any way, whether large or small, it would mean more than I can express. Even sharing this request would help tremendously.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering helping me turn this incredibly heavy moment into a fresh start.

I have always been a good person with good intentions. Of course I’m an imperfect human that makes mistakes. 18 yrs ago I was arrested for possesing something that I never possessed. I was railroaded by the justice system even though I was victorious in court against them several times. It’s only legal to try someone once however they abused their power to try me again every time I won. Shortly after my arrest I was hit by an unmarked police vehicle that ran a red light without sirens or lights active which resulted in me being paralyzed and unable to work a normal 9-5. I fought for ssd for16 yrs. After all their doctors, experts, and a judge approved me, powers were abused to prevent me from getting approved which is bazaar. I also sued the justice system and won however I beleive my attorney works for them and won’t release the funds that I won. There are several other details I’d like to provide to clarify, however not enough space. I’m being railroaded by all legal funding due to me to recover from these incidents have been blocked for over a decade causing several other problems. The biggest me being homeless vehicleless and in an unhealthy environment. I am asking for enough funding to get a used motorhome and a business wardrobe so I can do the best I can and soon be in a position where I can help others. I have studied the whole time That I’ve been oppressed and I’m sure if I achieve this I will be able to thrive and pay it foward to others shortly thereafter. I’m willing to provide details at length however this is the shortest that I can explain. My cashapp is $EVsmith90

I am doing the very best I can. I have held down a reliable job, still have it, and have been trying to get a promotion. I’m trying to learn as much as I can and grow, but I need help.

I have debt and bills that are simply too much for me to deal with. Rent, regular bills like insurance, debt, groceries and tax debt have weighed me down a lot and even though I do work, I just can’t make another job work. I pull overtime and have been for a while, but it just isn’t enough. Even with a company helping out with debt relief, I’m still struggling.

About $1,500 goes out of each check for rent, bills, and debt.

I am trying my best and have been budgeting, but I just really need help. I just can’t seem to make it work. I’ve got almost nothing after each check and every time I’ve tried to save, something comes up and it’s immediately gone.

 

I’ve tried money making apps, most require some sort of purchase. I can’t afford that either.

I know I need service on my car, breaks are going out. There’s rust deteriorating my car, and I just can’t find a way to make things work.

 

If you can help, I’d greatly appreciate it.

I am reaching out for help during an unexpected and deeply difficult period for my family. Until recently, I was the primary income earner in our household, working full-time as a registered nurse. Due to circumstances outside my control, I was forced to resign from my position with no notice. This sudden loss of income and health insurance has created an immediate financial and medical crisis for my family.

At the time of my resignation, my husband’s small business was still in its early stages and not yet producing steady income. As a result, the loss of my job meant the loss of our main source of financial stability. In addition to losing my paycheck, we also lost employer-sponsored health insurance, accrued sick leave, and essential benefits that my family relied on.

I have been actively applying for work and have finally secured a new position, but it pays significantly less than my previous role and does not immediately replace the benefits we lost. During the months of unemployment, I applied to dozens of jobs each week, depleted our savings, and relied on food pantries to make sure my children had enough to eat while we tried to stay afloat.

The loss of health insurance has been one of the most devastating consequences. I have been unable to afford ongoing psychological support related to the stress of this situation. I have also struggled to pay for my prescribed migraine medication and have relied on discount programs like GoodRx just to continue necessary treatments. Medical bills have continued to accumulate, and managing them without insurance has been overwhelming.

Both of my children receive therapy services related to their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). My daughter has continued with her scheduled therapy sessions, which could not be canceled mid-cycle, resulting in significant out-of-pocket costs despite our loss of coverage. Even more concerning, my son has not been able to get on a therapy block waitlist at all because we currently lack health insurance. This delay means he is missing early intervention opportunities that are important for his development, and as a parent, that is incredibly difficult to face.

I am not asking for luxury or comfort — only for help getting through this gap while I work to rebuild stability for my family. Any support received will go directly toward medical bills, prescriptions, therapy expenses, food, and basic living costs while we recover from this sudden hardship. Even a small contribution or sharing this request can make a meaningful difference for us.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and generosity offer hope during a time when everything has felt uncertain, and I am deeply grateful for any help you are able to provide.

Hi, my name is Richard. Asking for help like this is not easy for me, but I’m at a point where I need to be honest about where I’m at.

I’m working full-time and doing everything I can to rebuild my life, but right now I don’t have a reliable vehicle. Not having a car affects every part of my life — getting to work, staying stable, and most importantly, being there for my kids.

I want nothing more than to be a present, dependable father. A car isn’t just transportation for me — it’s the difference between struggling day to day and having a real chance to move forward and show up for my children the way they deserve.

I’m saving every week and taking responsibility for my situation, but rebuilding takes time. I’m asking for help to put toward a dependable used car so I can stay employed, regain independence, and continue building a better future for my family.

Any support — even a share or a kind word — truly means more than I can express. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any kindness you’re able to offer.

My name is Konrad, and I am asking for help to get through a serious short‑term crisis so I can get back to working and supporting myself. I live in Las Vegas and, until recently, I was working as a chauffeur and then doing delivery and other gig work to cover my basic expenses. Losing my job and then struggling to keep enough income coming in has left me in a position where one problem has snowballed into several, and I no longer have any safety net.

Right now, my most urgent problem is that my phone service has been disconnected. The past few months, I have been relying on gig apps and delivery work to bring in money, but all of that depends on having a working smartphone. No phone means I cannot accept orders, use navigation, or communicate with customers, which means I currently have no reliable way to earn income. My phone bill is 502.80, and that is the amount I need to pay to restore service and keep the line active so I can work again.

At the same time, my housing is on the line. My monthly rent is 750, and that is due regardless of whether I have work or not. I do not have family nearby who can cover this for me, and my parents live in Brazil on retirement income, so I am doing everything I can not to put this burden on them. Without help, I risk falling behind on rent and starting down a path toward losing the place where I live, which would make it even harder to recover.

On top of the phone bill and rent, I still need to eat and cover basic groceries. I am trying to keep my costs as low as possible, but I estimate I need about 200 for food for the month, so I am not choosing between paying a bill and having enough to eat. Altogether, my immediate, concrete need is 1,452.80: 502.80 for the phone bill, 750 for rent, and 200 for groceries.

There is another layer of stress behind all of this. Over the past months, as I tried to stay afloat after losing my job, I relied on credit cards to cover gaps. My total balance across my credit cards is now 4,102.21. I am not asking for help to pay all of that off through this request. I am sharing it so you can understand the pressure I am under and why I am trying so hard not to let this month spiral into missed payments, more late fees, and even deeper debt. Getting my phone turned back on and my rent and food covered this month would stop things from getting worse and give me a real chance to stabilize.

I am actively looking for more stable work and plan to go back to delivery and gig driving as soon as my phone is working again. Any help you can give will go directly to the amounts listed above, in this order: first to restore my phone service, then to cover rent, and then to pay for basic groceries. Even a small donation, or simply sharing this request, would mean a lot. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you are able to offer.

Hello, I am a retired 64 year old nurse.  I retired in May 2024. Other than my house payment, I had all medical bills, credit cards, and my car paid off.  My daughter and son-in-law had lent me $30,000 to pay off the medical bills and credit cards that I previously owed so that I could retire a little early. (I’ve been a nurse for 30 years). I already had the 2013 car paid off. I have been making $600 monthly payments over the past 2  1/2 years, and will have my family paid back completely in 6 months.  They wanted me to move in with them in 2024 and rent my home out for rental income to supplement my social security.  I didn’t make any profit since renting it out in 2024 due to unforeseen issues that kept arising. There was a hail and wind storm that damaged the roof and siding. I had to pay a large deductible to the insurance company for repairs for that. Throughout the that year I spent over $25,000 to make multiple repairs and replacements in the house. I had to replace the kitchen counter tops, had a swagging porch fixed, replaced several windows, treat for insects monthly, and many more issues minor and major. The central air also had to be fixed. The basement is a completely finished basement. It started having leaks. I had to buy 2 sump pumps and have a perimeter drain put in on one side of the basement floor. The company had to tear out the whole wall and studs. They then had to replace the studs, wall, and repaint them and the concrete floor. When the tenant moved out at the end of July 2025, there were other issues that had to be delt with before attempting to rent the home again.  The house was sagging on one side. That fix was over $5,000, the basement was actually flooding after several big rain storms. I had to have a complete perimeter drain in the whole basement put in. All the walls in the basement had to be torn out, replaced and painted, the concrete floor had to be redone. The insurance didn’t cover flooding so I had to cover all of that myself. I also had to buy a new water heater, refrigerator and had do other repairs and floor replacement on the main floor.  I tried to pay with cash and used most of my retirement account as the repairs were being done, but unfortunately I couldn’t keep up with it and had to apply for and use credit cards. That amounted to over $40,000. It took a month to find a new tenant so I missed a month of rent as well. So now in January 2026, since I had almost maxed out the credit cards last year on the house, the credit card companies have decreased my available credit and highly increased my monthly payments. I have always paid them on time and make extra payments as I can. I don’t use the cards unless something happens and I don’t have the cash, such as anything else with the home or car repairs.  I have been trying to find a job but no one calls me back. Maybe my age has something to do with it, I’m not sure. I don’t qualify for any loans or equity loan. I have tried to think of anything I can do. I can’t borrow from family again. With the increased payment amounts of the credit cards, $7,000 medical bills I’m making payments on, finishing paying my family back and just paying regular monthly and medical bills I will be in the negative and not able to pay these bills within 2 weeks. I’m so glad to have found this site. I don’t have any other recourse. I’ve thought about trying to sell my home, but after paying off the rest of the balance owed, and all these bills I would have nothing and I wouldn’t have the extra income that I need.

I would really appreciate any help.  I feel like I’m drowning in debt.

Thank you very much for considering,

Aloha, we are from Honolulu Hawaii. Im a stay at home mom of 7. My husband is a blue collar worker, and works really hard. We have been having a hard time right now. My husband has type 1 diabetes, but you would never think because he’s has always been. When he misses work he doesn’t get paid! no holiday pay no sick leave. We had to rack up our oldest daughter’s (21yrs) credit card for an emergency trip to Iowa when my grandmother was passing away, as well as a loan for hardship. My husbands car broke and needed to fix it since he is the working parent. She worked really hard on getting her credit good, and we kinda messed her up a little. We feel like crap and have been trying to fix it and pay off her bills that were ours. ANYTHING helps and we are totally grateful! God Bless

Hello,

I’m seeking financial support to help me get back on track. I made the terrible decision to invest money in late October. It was actually the evening of Halloween, October 31. That evening, as I was walking home from the train station, I saw a man and a woman (who greeted me as they passed) entering a restaurant near where I lived. It was Friday night, and I thought I would enjoy going out to dinner. Thinking to myself, I should ask my mom when I get home. But as I was walking, I thought I should give her the choice of walking to the restaurant around the corner from our house or going to the casino, having dinner, and playing a little bit. She opted for the latter. Long story short, I grossly overspent that night and had to take out loans to cover the losses I incurred each time I went back trying to recover the money I had lost. Dumb decision, I know. But when you’re desperate, making bad decisions is easy. Now I’m in a hole for 27K because I didn’t know when to leave and kept going back instead of cutting my losses. Now I have taken out loans that need to be repaid. :(

Currently, I need $2,500 to cover my January expenses before it’s too late, and my credit score is impacted.

That said, the stress in my life would be reduced if I got help with my overall situation. Your support would keep my credit in good standing and avoid further financial hardship. Your assistance would be like a lifeline at this challenging time. It would allow me to regain financial stability, support my immediate needs, and reduce expenses.

I’m retired on a fixed income, and my loans are too much for me to handle. My background is in finance. I used to own a mortgage brokerage business and a credit repair consultancy, and I know how credit works and why it’s important for me to maintain mine.

I am partially retired. I retired at age 62, about three years ago, and I received $954 minus $143, which the IRS deducts for repayment on a business loan I had when I owned a mortgage broker company. I also work part-time, making an additional $800 per month.

However, as far as my current situation is concerned, I truly didn’t realize how my income would be affected by taking out all these loans to pay bills, and each time spending more money at the casino trying to recover my losses. And getting a debt consolidation loan is not an option. Doing a debt relief program would cost me, and it would just lower my payments. I would much rather wipe out the debt and pay my creditors back.

I was able to get a loan because I had fairly good credit. I took out the first loan for $7,000, which I used to pay off/down my credit cards, and the rest was applied to my rent, $1.795, which included a late fee of $150. The payment on the loan is $240. The second was $4,500 with a payment of $180. The third one was for $2,100 with a monthly payment of $71 for 5 years. I also need to repay my mother for the loans she took out, which total roughly $12,900, and she is on a fixed income as well.

Between November and now, it has been crazy trying to make ends meet. I wish I could go back to the day and follow my first instinct to just go to the restaurant.
