Financial Hardship Help
Hello everyone,
I appreciate you taking the time to read this post. I am having trouble breathing due to a deviated septum and piercings other complications inside the nose but do not have the funds to cover the cost. Any donation can help.

Thank you so much.
Im a business owner looking for help with bills. With terrible health insurance, medical bills, the cost of 2 kids each month brings me further behind on bills with interest and banks charging me fees on top of fees its not helping. I just want to catch my breath so i can save for a home for my family, build my savings so im never in this situation again, and build my business to pay it forward when i can.
First of all, thanks for taking the time to even read this and consider.
I am a church worship pastor and my wife is a school teacher. Our family has been blessed in so many ways, and I don’t post this request without acknowledging that there are plenty of others on this website that undoubtedly have much greater need than we do. Nevertheless, we are in a place where we need a little extra income, and I have not yet figured out a good way to meet this need. So I decided it could not hurt to let the need be known and see if someone out there might choose to be so kind as to share a blessing with us.
My wife and I have been married for nearly 23 years. We have a very strong, healthy marriage and consider ourselves to be very blessed. We have a decent home, good places to work, and even what we consider to be good salaries. Anyone who knows about our two professions knows that we certainly don’t make a ton of money – yet we also know there are professions that make less. So we are grateful that God has taken care of us.
Four years ago we adopted three sibling children from another country. They came from a life of poverty, as well as horrible physical and sexual abuse. Adopting them was not only an opportunity for us to provide a safe, caring life for three kids, but it has been the greatest joy of our lives to become a family. They are wonderful creations of God that have changed our lives in so many amazing ways. Yet, as you would imagine, adding three more lives into a household also changes things financially. Over the last four years, things have been a little more challenging for us from month to month, with the additional expenses of providing for all of the kid’s needs. We have been able to make some lifestyle changes, adjust some spending, and for the most part make everything work.
However, in the past eight months or so, we have had several unexpected things arise that have caused us to go into some debt, which we try hard not to do. This past spring we experienced unusually heavy rains where we live, and our finished basement flooded. The flooding was bad enough that we had to pay a water damage restoration company to help us. Our entire basement had to be emptied and dried out, the carpet had to be ripped out and replaced, and we had to pay for some foundation repair and sump pump installation to be done. Then, just a couple months later, one of our vehicles had some unexpected repair work needed, to the tune of several thousand dollars. These items, plus an array of small items that add up, caused us to run up some debt that we are still in the process of trying to pay off.
Now it is early 2020 and, in addition to still trying to catch up from the items mentioned above, we are facing the need for minor surgeries for two of our children. Each of the medical issues are somewhat private so I will not disclose the specifics… But after consultations with doctors at a highly respected children’s hospital, we have determined it is best to proceed sooner than later. Therefore, both of our children are having their procedures later this month. We have insurance coverage to help with these procedures, but we will be responsible for a $5000 deductible. This is not something we have on hand, and therefore will have to add this to our existing debt load.
I have spent hours researching ways I might try to make some additional income to help with our unexpected needs. However, it has proven nearly impossible to find a source of extra work that works for me. My position at the church is full time and then some (ministry often requires extra evenings, working on days off, etc). I work very, very hard and simply do not have much free time to take on another job. In addition, I am not willing to take an evening second job and end up never being home. My role as a husband and father is far too important for me to do that. I have applied for some work that I can do one day per week (on my usual day off) that will hopefully help a little. But honestly, right now I just haven’t come up with any other way to catch up then to ask for some help.
So, how do I summarize my request? Simply by saying this… I am a committed husband and father who works hard to take care of his family, and who simply has hit a stretch of our lives where we have some unexpected needs I can’t figure out how to take care of. If there is someone who reads this and who would feel led to extend a blessing to our family by helping us with any portion of the $5000 medical expense, we would be beyond grateful. Our prayer would be that God would not only bless our family in this way, but would pour out His blessings back on the donor many times over.
Once again, thank you for even taking the time to read and consider.

Hello. I could really use some help, and I would appreciate it beyond words. I’m really having problems. A little bit after I graduated college and started my career I lost my job because of severe and very sudden lupus symptoms that caused joint pain, organ damage, mobility issues, and restricted my movement. They took some time to properly diagnose and figure out how to treat it. My doctors still won’t clear me to go back to work. Now I’m having kidney problems caused by systematic lupus, I have no money. I’m doing some freelance art and graphic design work, but I’m barely making enough to eat, but I can’t go back to looking for more consistent work until my kidneys are stable, and I can’t afford to continue treating my lupus if I can’t work, I also can’t seem to get on disability despite my rheumatologist thinking I need it, she doesn’t want me to go back to work at all, but I can’t do that. I really just need some help with my medical bills and medication until my kidneys are better or more stable so I can go back to work. I’m tired all the time, I’m in pain, and I’m afraid. Honestly I’m really scared of what might happen if I can’t deal with my kidney problems now. The new meds they put me on to keep my kidneys stable after the steroid infusions are really expensive. I’m just tired and afraid and out of ideas about what to do. I have pets I’ve had since before I got sick and now I am so sick and stressed all the time I can barely take care of them. I am so tired of being sick, I’m tired of hurting and knowing all my loved ones are worried about me and unable to do anything, I feel like I’m hurting them by being ill, but I can’t help it. I feel terrible and I want to get better, and while I understand lupus is a chronic illness that won’t ever go away, treating my kidney problems caused by them should help with some of the pain, swelling and mobility issues, and let me at least get back on my feet so I can work and take care of myself. So maybe my family won’t have to worry so much either. I’m only in my mid 20’s but I already have severe health issues surrounding my joints and mobility, it’s very frustrating. I don’t want to feel this defeated, and I believe I can get back on my feet if I can get just a little help. I would be so grateful for any help.

I am asking for donations to help my three year old son. After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called Septo Optic Dysplasia, a condition which causes blindness, hormonal deficiencies, developmental and intellectual disabilities, we also learned that he is on the autism spectrum.
My son participates in hours of therapy each week, but our cost is primarily in IBI services. At almost 80,000 per year and no available government funding, we are struggling to get him the help He needs. We would like to continue with therapy, as so far he has made progress with speech, feeding and dressing himself, socialization and mobility. It is a vital service to his ability to function in life that we alone cannot provide him
A few months ago, I ended my relationship with someone who I had known since I was 13, and was my high school sweetheart. He held me, hostage in my apartment, abused, and sexually assaulted me for three days straight during his mania (To recap: He’s an alcoholic and had a problem with weed. Shortly before the end of this, I found out from his mom that he was bipolar, has depression, and has schizophrenia. I want to make it clear that I didn’t find out all of this until after he moved in). It took two calls to the police before they finally arrested him, and I’m so thankful my neighbor took my note seriously and called the 2nd time police. I’m disgusted when I watched the Ring doorbell video were he fist-bumped the two male police officers the FIRST time I called, and it only made him bolder.
Since then, I have been struggling to get through each day. IF I sleep, I have night terrors, but usually, I’m up at night pacing back and forth. Not to mention randomly balling my eyes out in public.
My left hand was broken and I still have ligament damage that is slowly/painfully healing. Most of the bruises are going away. I ask for help because I was let go from my part-time job (I do have a full-time job still but it isn’t enough and my mental state is often challenged working there since this occurred) that helps with my finances because I don’t have a fully functioning hand.
Hi I’m Autum I’m here to ask for help because I’m struggling very badly financially with over 30,000.00 in medical debt and still adding up from new bills. A little about me im 24 years old and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which is a rare connective tissue disorder that is genetic with no cure. It affects everything inside and outside of my body all the way down to my skin, joints, bones, ligaments, tendons, tissue, organs and muscles. EDS is the short terms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I have the hyper mobile type. EDS is where my body lacks the collagen it needs to hold everything together and to function properly. I have had to deal with numerous health problems through out my life like four knee surgeries, 2 nose surgery’s and need another, a foot surgery and needing another in my other foot, needing wrist surgery and more. I struggle with joint pain, sublaxations, and dislocations in most all my joints including my ribs, shoulders, hips, wrists and fingers and along with stomach, liver and heart problems, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, POTS-Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, IBS, ADHD, PCOS, Agoraphobia (severe anxiety disorder), Degenerative disc disease, chronic arthritis in every joint and constant pain chronic pain, there are to many to list. The one I’m facing now is bilateral disc disorder and severe TMJ. My jaw is deteriorating, dislocating and locking up, Its gotten so bad that I can’t chew solid food anymore. I’ve lost over 32 pounds because of not being able to eat solids or not eat at all due to sever pain in my jaw. I need a very expensive surgery, Bilateral Arthroplasty and replacement of the discs, that no insurance covers even with an appeal. It’s medically necessary and I’m still fighting to try and get coverage as I’m in desperate need of this surgery to live a somewhat functional life. The cost is $15,000 per side total and then the cost of the hospital room is minimum of $5,000 up to $10,000. If they need to take tissue from my stomach to replace the discs instead of artificial ones it will be around another 15,000 or more. So my husband and I are looking at $35 to $45 thousand dollars. I feel so bad for my husband that we are struggling this bad financially because of me, I’m to the point that working a full time job isn’t possible anymore and I’m working on trying to get disability and hopefully maybe a part time job after to atleast do my best in helping contribute to bills, if I do get disability it will drastically bring down our income and make it even harder to support ourselves. I’ve put my parents in so much debt because of medical bills as a kid till an adult that they can’t even buy a home now and I feel aweful because it’s out of my control being born with these issues and being adopted it’s hard to find all the health history. We have already sold what we can because of numerous medical bills. I absolutely don’t like asking for help but feel it’s needed at this point and would be greatly appreciated more then you would ever know and anything helps big or small! God bless you all.

Since November of 2017 I have been so happy besides my fiancé. The day I met him my whole life started to change. I was happier and I looked forwards to going to High School every day when I did not have the inspiration for it before him. We have gone through a lot together. Not that long ago we went through a good part of college and hopefully we can start having our life together soon in the next year coming up. He has always been fighting seizures since he was little and all his life has been really difficult. His family has always had problems with money and they try to get through it by any means possible. Since I met him I have been trying to help him little by little but I also do not have that much money to be able to help them that much. Most of the times I help by bringing them food and once in a while some money I got as presents or from working. Not that long ago he lost the help the government was giving him because of a misunderstanding with them and we do not have the money to pay for his medicine that he has to take for the seizures. We are trying to get it back but it will take long before we can actually have their help back. We call them and email them all the time but the status continues to be pending so far. I am so scared that something might happen to him and that we will not be able to do a thing to help him because we do not have the money for it. That is why I am trying to reach to everyone that can help to please donate a little bit to us. We would be so grateful and any little donation helps a lot. We need to pay for his medicine every month and it is around $2000 for the bottles of medicine he takes and the doctor appointments he has to go to. Please be one of our saviors and help us pay for his medicine at least this oncoming month to extend the time we have left while we wait for the help to finally arrive. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this and if you are not able to donate please help this message spread to people who might be able to so we can have a higher change to get the medicine soon.

I am in need a financial help with Medical needs and Dental needs. I have several medical issues (graves disease, chrons, colitis, ibs, neuropathy in my hands and stomach and diabetes – insulin dependent), I do have medical insurance but it is not that great, I pay a copayment for each visit and then receive an office visit bill for $286, and Bill’s for Xrays, blood work etc, and spend over $309 monthly on medications, as of right now I owe 13,791 in medical bills.
In regards to my Dental needs, I have none loss in my jaw and need bone graphing in order to replace lost teeth. I have temporary dentures but cannot eat with them because they dont fit properly due to the bone loss. In order to get my teeth fixed properly my dentist is recommending that I go to clear choice and have all the work done there so that I can get the issues taken care of properly, but the cost for that is $53,000.09 and of course I dont have that kind of money nor the availability to get a loan because my income is not enough to get the financial aid
I have tried all options to save money, to get a 2nd job but have had no luck and I would appreciate any help I can get, my PayPal account is

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read my post
My mom suffered a hard stroke and I cannot take care of her. I travel all the time for work and all my money was spent on her hospital bills. She has nothing and no one. Just me. She is partially paralyzed now and she needs round the clock care but I need to go back to work.
Please. They won’t take her until I make a payment. I don’t have anything. This is my mommy. $2,000 is all I need. I will give everyone updates on my mother if they want them and will never forget it. This would mean everything to me. She helped me so much when I hit rock bottom. I can’t let her down.
Thank you for considering me.

Hi there,
I have never been one to beg for money. In fact I have worked very hard to try to get as far away from any situation like this.
On July 26th, 2019 I was involved in a major hit and run accident that barely left me alive. I got up at 5am to head in to work early to get a head start. I was 1 minute away from work, 2nd vehicle in line to turn left onto another street. When the light turned green the car ahead of me went and then me and BOOM!..
When I came to, I knew I was hurt but terrified that someone else could be worse. I didn’t really know what happened at the time until i crawled out of my vehicle. A Ford F150 ran a red light while trying to flee the cops at 105 mph. They crashed into me first on my driver’s side door, then 2 more cars and then lastly a power bank before catching on fire. My car battery was found 10 ft away because the impact was so severe. If they had crashed into me just a few more inches down I would not be alive right now. They were running from the cops in a stolen vehicle, on drugs, and then ran from the scene. To this day, they only know the name of the driver but not his where abouts. I was severely bruised, broken collarbone, 2 broken vertebrates in my back and needed reconstructive surgery on my right hand.
I have fought very hard to get any kind of compensation since i was out of work for a few months and nothing. My Insurance only covered a tiny amount. I have put off asking for help but I’m desperate. I have 15,000 in medical bills that are left to pay. I have picked up 2 full time jobs as much as possible just to keep my lights on. Anything will help at this point.
I did nothing wrong and my life was turned upside down while the person who did this is probably living life. If you do help me out, I would like to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you all so much

Hello, my name is Ted. I am 60 year old. I have never asked people for help before so I hope I get this right. The last couple of years have not been very good for me. Last year I had back surgery, and I was off work for 3 months. After that I received a pile of bills I couldn’t pay. I was trying to get my head above water until just recently. I stepped on a small piece of glass that got lodged in my foot. I couldn’t get it out and my foot became infected. Once again I was taken to the hospital and was there for 4 weeks. I lost the big toe on my right foot and sure enough once again I received another pile of bills. I am still off work for this and I don’t have any way to pay them. My wife works part time at a discount store and can only pay the bills that keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I did a search for a way to ask for help and found this site. I don’t know what else to do. We are in danger of losing everything we have.
My bills have reached $40,000. I have been told that I could go back to work soon but I’m afraid that it might be to late. I am a military vet, and I has seen a lot. I have never been this afraid before. I don’t know what we’ll do if we don’t get help soon. I don’t like to ask for help but I don’t know what else to do. If any one can give anything to help us I would be very thankful. Please go to the Pay pal link and help us.
Thank you for your time
I never thought I’d need to take to the internet in need of help, but at this point in my life I have nowhere else to turn.
I hope to keep this as anonymous as possible (which is why the picture above is of my family’s beloved cats), my family tends to be very proud and reluctant to ask for help when they try so hard to give, always being the strong ones. My parents have given so much in their life, even when we’ve always had so little. I’m doing this for them, grasping at straws for them when I can’t do much as a college student struggling to even pay my own tuition bills.
About five years ago, my family’s home was foreclosed on illegally. It’s been a long, hard legal battle that’s put so much stress on my disabled mother that her heart condition has only gotten worse as time went on. We almost won the case, too, but the lawyer we hired turned out to be fraudulent (He was disbarred for malpractice after our complaint added to many others, though that doesn’t erase the damage). He stole from us, threw the case, and left my mother to become her own lawyer. The fight ended in a stalemate, and we are months from being forcibly evicted from the home.
To make matters worse, within the last year both of my grandparents died, which put so much grief on us all. It’s been so hard to keep up with anything but we’ve soldiered on.
In the last week, however, my father was diagnosed with kidney cancer. His job doesn’t provide him with benefits needed to cover an illness of this caliber and we’re still knee deep in medical debt from the surgeries and procedures he needed for his hernia. He holds the primary income of the household and even though they try to remain strong for my sisters and I, I know how hard and dire this is for him since he’s going to be out of work for surgery and treatment we may not even be able to afford.
I’ve considered dropping out of college and trying to find a minimum wage job just to help, but I know in the end it won’t be enough with all of the medical bills and the threat of homelessness looming over our heads and creeping closer by the day.
I’m tired of listening to my mother cry late at night wondering what will become of the future. I’m tired of my father pushing through the pain in a low wage, labor job because he knows seeing a doctor will only result in more bills that we can’t afford to pay.
Please, I’m asking for any help that can be provided. Anything to help us pay off these high medical bills and help us afford to get a new place to live. Maybe even help my sister and I pay for our college bills, though that’s wishful thinking on my part. As we’re coming closer to deadlines by the day, literally anything will help. Thank you so much for your kindness, and may god bless you.

Hi,
My name is Grace and recently I’ve been going through absolute hell when it comes to my mental health. I’ve been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder for 4 years, but in the past 6 months, I have had extreme anxiety and both manic and psychotic episodes. About a month ago I had an extremely terrifying psychosis episode every day for two weeks straight, and I am still struggling to get back to a decent mental state. The very last episode that I had was the worst thing I have ever experienced. It started while I was with my entire family in a crowded grocery store, and I would look at someone and then look again and they would be gone, so I wandered around the store not knowing who was real. I saw a lady inject herself with heroin in the bathroom, and on the car ride home I saw the car start to be surrounded by demons (which had been a part of every one of my episodes) and I heard them telling me to kill myself and then felt one enter my body and almost passed out. There were so many other things that I experienced that night, such as seeing things waiting to hurt me outside the car when we got home, and being in my parent’s room and seeing and even feeling spiders all over me. It was like having the worst nightmare you could imagine but in real life. All of the episodes were bad, but this episode changed me as a person, and ever since then, I have been extremely depressed. My parents have done nothing to get me help, even though I have begged them to find me a psychiatrist in order to treat my symptoms. They believe that they can handle it themselves, and it is extremely frustrating (during the last episode I had I begged them to take me to the hospital but they didn’t because they thought they had it under control). I have tried to talk to them about how all of this makes me feel multiple times, but they don’t really listen, and I think deep down they want to just ignore it because they don’t want to acknowledge that there is something really wrong going on with me. Anyways, the reason why I am writing this is that I have decided that if they are not going to take action then I will, because I don’t know what will happen if I can’t get help. I am trying to raise money in order to check myself into an inpatient mental health facility because they will have psychiatrists and therapists there that are able to see me right away and treat my symptoms. Mental hospitals are very expensive, and I don’t have any money at the moment. I am looking for a job and trying to do things such as sell old clothes on eBay in order to make money, but my mental health is terrible right now and it’s going to be really hard to get through it without treatment. If anyone would like to donate even just $1 in order to help out, I would appreciate it so so much. Once I am in a stable headspace and can get a job I will make sure that I pay everyone who has donated back. I honestly feel kind of pathetic begging for money online, but I really have no idea what else to do anymore.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, it means a lot.

My name is Mike and life isn’t always stress-free. Everyone goes through challenging adversities and come out stronger on the other side. However, I feel some do not make through the difficult journey because they lost sight of their dreams and hopes.
I for one will do what I can to make it through the challenge that is currently before me! There has been many times in my life that I needed to be very persistent to gain that life reward. I look back and love everything that I have achieved in my life and I will continue to do so.
My father grew up during the depression, enlisted the Navy during WW2 and Korea, and raised me by instilling good morals, ethics, how to treat your fellow man, and to have compassion toward others.
I believe every one of these he taught are engrained into me. I went to school and graduated, then I enlisted into the Army during the mid-1980’s for 10 years to help protect our freedoms that we have today; however, there was more that I wanted out of life. So when my military term of service ended I came back to the United States, found a job immediately, and worked hard.
I married Carla and vowed from that day forward, for better; for worse; for richer; for poorer; in sickness and in health, until death do us part.
We started to save money during this time so I could go to college to get a degree in Engineering. During this period both of my parents passed away. I feel this just drove me harder to ensure I did not fail. Once I had enough money saved to go the entire four years I set out to achieve the degree. It was difficult because now I have a mortgage and all of the bills that go with it. My wife and I both needed to work full time, her teaching and me at a manufacturing company while I was in school taking a full load of courses. There were a lot of difficulties and Carla supported me completely through it all.
I so wish my parents could have been there when I received my Bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University. Somehow, I believe they know.
Everything was going so well for the two of us because our hopes and dreams were coming true. I was able to get an engineering job that would help me grow to my full potential and Carla still taught at the school. We were fortunate enough to be able to donate more to the school, church, and the people that needed more support in our community.
By 2009, Carla started having medical issues. After several test, the doctor recommended her to have a hysterectomy. So that was done. It seemed fine for a very short while, but she still had the pains as before. Over the next three years pains were occurring at several different areas and the doctor would conduct many tests and then prescribe medication for her to take. The doctor never did locate the source even with several x-rays, scans, and etc.
We finally changed doctors by 2016 in hopes he would be able to diagnose and solve the issue. Unfortunately, many, if not all the previous test needed to be conducted again due to the length of time the previous test were done. I was missing so much work needing to take her on several occasions to the emergency room, doctor’s appointments, and hospital test. By the end of 2016 my employer, after eight years of working for them had to release me unfortunately due to absenteeism. This was crushing news.
Carla still had her job with insurance. She has been employed with them for 30 years. They have always done what they can for us knowing that she has been seriously ill for several years and me not working. I was unable to locate suitable employment and we were burning through our savings and my retirement fund quickly due to all of the doctor bills, medications, and mortgage. We put the house up on the market and sold it within a couple of months. We then moved into a small rental house that had a monthly lease of $600 which helped some.
I started doing home repair jobs to at least have some income. I wasn’t bringing in a whole lot of revenue, but it was better than nothing. During these two years, we pretty much burned through our savings and cashed in my retirement fund to cover all of the medical expenses.
Finally August of this year, Carla was sent to a vascular surgeon for test and they found that the artery that feeds blood to her lower extremities was 80% blocked. The surgeon said this would most likely be the culprit because it feeds blood to other organs as well. Two days later a stent was placed into her artery and it is now approximately 90% open. I just do not understand why all of the other test in the previous years would not have shown this blockage, but I am just glad and thankful the doctor located this major issue and was able to repair it.
Unfortunately, with the entire test from different specialist, surgery, prescription medications she is on now, has inflated the cost of what we owe to these different hospitals to over $130,000.
Carla must wait until January to conduct another vascular test to see if the other organs are responding better. Then the next issue can be addressed if something is found.
This means we will be required to meet the deductible again, and will need to be added to what we are already in debt to. This has been a very long process over many years and my wife and I have stayed persistent to get through this adversity. I know we are close to resolving my wife’s medical issues because she really needs a break from the pains she has endured for the past ten years. We are almost to the other side and are stronger due to this difficult journey.
I am asking for assistance from people that are fortunate enough and compassionate after knowing what my wife and I have endured. There are many other people out there just like us that are going through hardships and I will pay it forward just like I have done when I was fortunate enough.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I am very appreciative for anything you can do. I am only looking for a “Hand Up” not a hand out.
Mike and Carla

Please help me pay off all the medical bills I owe. I have provided one photo as proof that I actually owe. There are more bills that I owe; I owe thousands of dollars in medical costs. I even owe thousands of dollars in student loans. I have begun this request to possibly begin paying what I owe. You might take the time to check with the company shown in my proof image, their details, or even call them to ask if that amount is still owed by someone in South Florida. Then ask the same collections company if the person owing that amount owes even more with them from other medical costs, etc., & they will say yes (if they are allowed to disclose that information). I AM certain that this company is the same one that is attempting to collect most of what I owe to these several medical institutions, businesses, etc. I owe this dental bill but the necessary procedures are not completely done yet; the dentists repeatedly say I need to go to an oral surgeon. I owe for [other medical interventions] past emergency room visits, ambulance, medical tests, and more; plus I owe for student loans and other past purchases. I just really need to pay off these bills so I can move on with my life.
The problems just keep piling up because I still need to pay health insurance premiums for follow up doctors’ visits in order to obtain the proper diagnosis for another medical issue I currently have. {I did try using other resources to get help with healthcare benefits but they require me to have health insurance so they can help me with copay. I do not have disability benefits because I do not qualify. I do not qualify for Medicare even though I have applied for it multiple times. I AM not a senior citizen so I cannot get any Medicaid.} The bills are owed with interest (although some do come with a settlement amount). My family members are also in financial situations where they cannot help me financially; they were getting money from me in the past but, now I need the help. I need a lot of financial help today. Asking for donations here and all over the web for help concerning my financial situation is really all I have left to do. If I can pay, even just 1 of these many medical bills, it can make a huge positive change in my life. I will improve my financial situation and I will not suffer the anxiety that I currently get at times. [It can put me at ease because I have even received an eviction notice from my landlord.] Please understand that I did not ask to be in such a problematic situation; I did not do drugs. I did not make reckless decisions. I AM just a young lady, living a fairly healthy life, putting my best effort in & helping my family but, now I have terrible hardships of my own. I honestly need your help. I appreciate the time you took to read my urgent request. Hopefully, you can help and do send funds to me.
Thanks in Advance. paypal.me/Thanku4daFunds
Hi there,
First of all, thank you for even clicking on my post. To start things off, I am an 18 year old girl who has been suffering from very severe mental health issues since I was 7. My main diagnoses are Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Depression. All of these things combined make it extremely hard for me to live my life to the fullest.
I was not fully diagnosed until I was 15, so I did not receive therapeutic help until then and my problems had become even worse. I have been through all sorts of therapy (talk, CBT, DBT, ERP) and have also been a part of a Partial Hospitalization Program in an effort to make a change in my life. As much as these things seemed to help at the time (the last round of it was 2 years ago), my anxiety is at an all time high and I honestly cannot function properly. Not only does it effect my everyday life, it effects my family and friends.
I decided to look into different types of therapy in my area to see what exactly could help for my specific situation, and found a Husband-Wife duo who has seemed to help a lot of people with similar issues to mine. It is not talk therapy or CBT, so it is not just going back to something I have already tried. This therapy goes to the root of the issue and aims to pull it out to help change it. The only problem is, none of the sessions are covered by insurance since it is a private practice, and in the past my medical insurance has helped to cover almost everything. I am currently in between jobs and my family is unable to help me to pay for these sessions, which I have been told that there is no set amount of sessions so I don’t have an exact number as to how much I will be spending long term.
I have had a few sessions already, using credit to pay for them, and it has already proved helpful. I am very hopeful for this treatment, as it is my last hope at living a happy and healthy life (something that I truly have wanted for a very long time) but I am afraid I will have to cut it short if I do not have the money to pay back my debt or for sessions in the future.
So far, I have put around $400 into sessions, but I am almost certain I will end up at at least $1,500 by the time I’m ready to stop treatment, and I don’t have the means right now to obtain that money. I have multiple job interviews coming up, but none of the jobs are high paying enough and do not offer enough hours to make ends meet. My mom and grandma would love to help me, they are the only family I really have and also who I live with, but they have their own bills to pay and none of us make enough currently to pay for this on top of everything else.
I really don’t want to ask for much, literally anything would help. But for perspective, again I will probably be spending at least $1,500.
Thank you again for even just looking at my post and taking the time to read. I appreciate all people who are willing to help others when they can, even if it isn’t me.
I hope the life you are living is happy and healthy, and I hope soon I will be able to do the same.

Hello, my boyfriend and I are 20 and 21, respectively. We have had the hardest year of our lives and upon hitting what seems like an impossible wall to climb over, we are here asking for some assistance.
My boyfriend has lived with epilepsy his whole life, with the help of medications and CBD oil we have found a good balance to keep most seizures at bay; but they are still easily triggered by stress and anxiety. We recently moved to Odessa, Texas and our current jobs at the moment do not offer medical insurance, even with full time hours. Last June we got into a bad car accident, hit a sand patch and did a full spin out, ultimately ending up sideways over a curb. Luckily we walked away with minimal physical injuries, but he had one of the worst seizures of his life, and we are not only stuck with the extensive hospital bills (we eventually got lowered to about $4,000 due to income) but out of pocket expenses for our car.
We ultimately had to sell the car and take our loses and get a new one; with our current situation, we can not be without a car. Although we are happy to have a much nicer, newer car, we are now even more in debt with car payments, with about $6,000 left to pay off.
Last but not least, back before things took a turn, we enrolled in our local Anytime Fitness. Payments are generally relatively cheap, but upon missing payments during our hospital bill madness we’ve had to pay hundreds extra. We’ve tried everything to get out of our contract as we can’t afford to keep it any longer, nor do we have to time or location to use it, but to void our contract we have to pay all of our dues up front, exceeding roughly $1,100. We have already frozen our membership for the maximum amount of time and need to start making payments again.
We are both incredibly grateful people, we thank God every day for what we do have, and we hate having to go to anyone for help. But all we want is to get out of this hole to give ourselves a better life. We have been trying to move away from Texas for some time now, not only for a fresh start but to get away from abusive/ex drug using family as well. But every time we seem to get any extra money into savings, it has to go towards bills. We are some struggling youth just praying for a miracle, for a break, for the tiniest opportunity to better our lives and get out of this struggling town. Anything helps, thank you. God Bless.

This wonderful friend has gone through more sorrow and pain than I can imagine, and these blows have taken their toll over the years. Over the last year she has struggled with blood clots in her foot and lungs and then got infected with erysipelas. She also suffers from fibromyalgia caused by the traumatic events of loosing her parents and four siblings. Rika is well educated and had a good job before illness overcame her and today she is unfit for work which has been very burdensome. The debts of her medical treatment and medication are piling up and she is unable to buy necessary service to improve her life.
She is under hospital supervision once a week and the doctors struggle to find the right blood-thinning medication while she also suffers from serious side-effects due to the medication. Her doctor now wants her to try a new drug which is very expensive and it’s not so easy to finance the cost needed for these. All of this has severely reduced her quality of life.
Me and everyone who loves this wonderful women would be eternally grateful if you could give a helping hand as she struggles with these hardships. All contributions count, no matter the amount you can offer.
With hope and gratitude, thank you. paypal.me/rikeyg
Una vida mejor para Rika
Esta maravillosa amiga ha sufrido más tristeza y dolor de lo que puedo imaginar, son golpes duros que le han pasado factura a lo largo de los años. Durante el año pasado tuvo problemas con coágulos de sangre en el pie y los pulmones, y después sufrió una infección de erisipela. También padece fibromialgia, provocada por los eventos traumáticos de perder a sus padres y a sus cuatro hermanos. Rika ha tenido una buena educación, y tenía un buen trabajo antes de que la enfermedad la venciera. A día de hoy no puede trabajar, lo cual ha sido un gran peso para ella. Las deudas de su tratamiento médico y medicamentos se acumulan, y no puede costearse el servicio necesario para mejorar su vida.
Está bajo supervisión del hospital una vez por semana; los médicos luchan por encontrar el medicamento anticoagulante adecuado, mientras que ella también sufre efectos secundarios graves debido a la medicación. Ahora, su médico quiere que pruebe un nuevo medicamento muy caro, pero no es tan fácil financiar el coste necesario. Todo esto ha reducido severamente su calidad de vida.
Yo y todos los que amamos a esta maravillosa mujer te estaríamos eternamente agradecidos si pudieras ayudarnos mientras lucha con estas dificultades. Todas las contribuciones cuentan, sin importar la cantidad que puedas ofrecer.
Con esperanza y gratitud, gracias. paypal.me/rikeyg
</Hi! My name is JoAnn and I am a 49 year old wife and mother of 3 boys. I am also facing the most difficult time in my life. I suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease due to bilateral hydronephrosis, which means my kidneys are always full of fluid and they are rotting from the inside out. During my last ultrasound in September, doctors realized that both of my ureters, the tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder, were partially blocked and refluxing. A condition known as vesicoureteral reflux with obstruction. I was immediately sent for a CT scan to verify what they were seeing. I attached to still frames from that scan where you can see the fluid built up in the kidneys and how much I have already lost of the left. Its half the size of the other.
In order to stop the reflux and slow the disease, I have to have a complete ureter reconstruction surgery where they remove both of mine and rebuild new ones from pieces of my small intestines. The surgery is risky and will require in-home care for 2-3 weeks afterward and for me to be off work for 3 months recovering.
My husband’s job went to an all high deductible medical plan and so my medical bills will only be partially covered. Than there is my car payments, doctor visits, lab tests, and follow up CT scan. The cost of this procedure is almost too much to think about. Without it; however, I will go into kidney failure and die. So there isn’t much of an option for me. I am literally fighting for my life!
Asking for help doesn’t come easily for me, I have always found a way in the past. This time, I’m afraid it is beyond my ability to fix. I need help, no matter how hard it is to say. Please, I need your assistance to keep from drowning in debt from a fight I have to win. Can you find it in your heart to help me? I am forever grateful even if you can only send your prayers. Thank you for listening and God Bless!!!

My name is Tyron and I really need help with some medical bills and my rent payment. I had foot surgery and I’ve been healing so I haven’t been able to work for almost 2 months and they’re trying to kick me out of my apartment. And I need help paying the bill for the surgery. All in all I’ll need about $3000 to help with everything.
Hi there to anyone who might be reading this;
I’ve never done anything like this before but here I am taking a chance and reaching out.
So basically im a girl in my 20’s that has been experiencing a number of sudden health issues. Everything from skin issues all over my body, from head to toe. To stomach, knee, back, throath and eye problems. Also due to all of this my mental state has decreased significantly in the most negative way possible. I’ve been to the doc for a checkup and since ive never actually taken any general blood work before, the doc had to take some and he was completely shocked by my results and had never seen anything like it. He said I have the most extreme defiencies in almost everything.
In order for me to even start looking for the cause of everything thats going wrong, they have to start with one thing and work their way up because I have so many symptoms.
I was also informed this is going to be a closely monitored and long process and that, as you may guess, equals having the financial side of things on the up and up. Which I dont have cause where I live its extremely extremely expensive for even just a normal check up from time to time so people rarely even go, only if its urgent enough.
Im trying to just keep up with the symptoms and do what I can myself to prevent pain etc cause the issues are only getting worse day by day by me not going to get treatment since im not able to afford it.
I feel weird cause it probably looks like im just complaining but in order for me to bring some kind of sense into this situation I have to write it out I guess. I don’t know.. At this point, this is just me trying to explain what im going through and I pray that if anyone reads this and want to help with whatever it may be, please feel free to reach out. If its in the form of financial help to get treatment and answers or just words or advice; my heart greatly appreciate anything as long as it comes from a good place. Also to anyone reading this, please invest in your health first. Thats the biggest lesson in all of this. Have a great day.

Hello!
My name is Alexander, I am 27 years old.
Two years ago, my father died. Doctors made a terrible diagnosis – cancer of the tongue and lower jaw. At the first stage of treatment, the doctors advised radiotherapy, but the doctors missed the location of the tumor. Precious time was hopelessly lost. My father was getting worse every day and we accepted the doctors’ offer to promptly remove the tongue and lower jaw. For the sake of his treatment, we had to sell the only apartment and get into debt. Cancer progressed very quickly, after surgery to remove the lower jaw and tongue metastases appeared in the lymph nodes of the neck. After the operation, my father lived for six months.
After the death of my father, I remained the only working member of the family. My mother, grandmother and debts for the treatment of my father at $ 45,000 remained on my provision.
I have a bachelor’s degree in biochemical technology. He began his career in the regional department of Coca-Cola as a quality control chemist. Two years later, he moved to work as a technology developer in a large pharmaceutical company. My work is related to the development of new drugs. During the work, I have developed two new drugs: lozenges with an antibiotic.
Due to constant contact with especially hazardous substances, I started to have serious health problems. Gradually, the lungs, heart and gastrointestinal tract began to fail. Since March 2019, I have been constantly undergoing examinations and cannot fully work. November 6, 2019 I had a cholecystectomy. My employer refuses to endure my health difficulties and forced me to quit. My operation was difficult, the bile ducts were blocked. Doctors say that I can never eat like the rest of the people. Until the end of my life I will have to eat only mashed food so as not to completely unload the pancreas and liver.
The treatment is delayed; my body is destroyed by exposure to hazardous substances. I am in severe depression, but I can’t stop my suffering because I can’t abandon my mother and grandmother. My grandmother who ate her husband and all of her children will not survive the loss of a grandson.
There is a chance that eventually I will be able to return to my usual way of life and work, but this requires time for rehabilitation and continued treatment.
If you have the opportunity to at least slightly support me with money: paypal.me/vinseras
My story starts in 2016. In that year, I lost my mother to a very long battle with Cancer. Not only was I her only child, but she and I were 2 peas in a pod and taking care of her was all I knew I’m my 27 years of life. Because of some unfortunate insurance issues, there were certain procedures and medicines that weren’t covered, so without a second thought, I covered them via 2 Credit Cards. After everything was said and done, I was $12000 in debt on those cards but did not regret it for one moment. I decided to complete college, in honor of my mother’s wishes and enrolled starting January 1, 2017 and fast forward to July 2018 and I received my Bachelors degree in the mail. And in December of that year, I began employment in the field I studied. During this time I lived with my partner who bought a home and welcomed me into it, only charging me $550 per month. Which leaves me to why I am asking for a little help. Up to this point, I have lowered my debt to $4000 however my student loan repayment has begun and unfortunately my partner is no longer that. If I can get help paying the $4000 off that would significant lower my bills and allow me to afford to live on my own since I will be forced to do so in the coming days. I would be so grateful for whatever amount I can receive from the generosity of strangers and I can guarantee that I will continue to work and be a contributing citizen, I just ask for a bit of a boost to get me started. Thank you for reading my story and I will gladly answer any questions to validate my situation

Hi,
I´m Katie and I live in Sweden. Out of all places, I know. I´m in my 50ies, have ulcerative colitis and had to relocate due to having witnessed a crime. So, I´m unemployed and living on the margin of all margins. In the middle of beautiful nowhere.
Sweden, you say, isn´t that a rich place? Oh yes, Swedish economy is booming but Swedes do not partake in the success. Industry and large corporations are doing fine despite a new recession lurking on the horizon and approaching fast-ish according to the news on telly.
Swedes however, follow the rest of the world in that salaries are not up where they should be and unemployment is far bigger than the fancy numbers you hear about. Plus, of course, in some areas they´re blowing up bombs all the time. Literally.
My errand on this site is that I need new glasses. Prescription glasses. According to the dictionary I have double astigmatism (I know what it´s called in Swedish but not in English) so for me to buy glasses will cost me the equivalent of 950 US dollars. I understand glasses are costly everywhere unless you want to look like something that crept up from a 1960ies sitcom. And if I ever could get another job I should try to avoid looking overly bad. Double astigmatism means not only the lenses of your eyes are a bit askew but also the very inside of the eyes. It requires a bit of extra effort from the optician. Or they just charge more cause they can. Whatever comes first.
I have applied over and over to various funds and the like over here in Sweden, in order to raise money for new glasses. Problem is that it´s the rich guys that control these charity funds (I just found out) and you can get 2000 Swedish cronas (about and very roughly US 200 dollars) and that wont pay for any new glasses. So the rich really think that if you´re poor it´s you´re own fault. Well, its not always that way now is it.
As I´m new to where I live and forbidden to use Facebook or Twitter or anything else lest I´d be found by the baddies again, I will try my luck on this site.
I hope someone out there takes pity on me. New glasses will improve my life quite a lot since bot seing properly gives you headaches and makes you very, very tired.
To all of you Living Angels out there, many thanks in advance and rest assured that when I get new glasses and a job I will return here and help someone.
Yours truly,
Katie

We are asking for your help and support for my beloved mother-in-law, Rosa Maria Hernandez, to fight and beat Stage 4 Metastases Breast Cancer.
It all started back in early 2017, when doctors found the first tumors. She was first diagnosed with cancer in her right breast after going to her regular mammogram exam. Fast forward to May of the same year, not to mention on May 2nd her birthday, when she had mastectomy surgery, as back then was the best option and it would remove the cancer entirely since it had not spread anywhere else.
The surgery was a success and she only needed time to rest and recuperate. She continued treatment by taking pills that would prevent the cancer from coming back and continued doing her recommended mammograms every six months until this past July when she found a lump in the area where she had her mastectomy.
She went in for a pet scan and they found four tumors. Her cancer was back and that this time it has spread to her liver, meaning it is now at stage four. She has gone to many hospital visits, has already had her catheter surgery for chemotherapy and is awaiting either chemotherapy or radiation. Right now, she is at a critical moment as she is struggling financially to see what the best option is going to be for her. Since she is premenopausal, she has the option to have oophorectomy, or removal of the ovaries, so her body can help reduce the production of estrogen, an important promoter of breast cancer. After such surgery she would need to take IBRANCE tablets that have an average cost of $14,000 per bottle and last only a month. Another option is harsh chemotherapy that could quickly weaken her immune system. Whatever option she decides take ,along with the doctors,is going to be very expensive, plus the continuous doctor visits, transportation and also family expenses.
About Rosa:
Rosa is a beloved daughter, sister, mother and most recently grandmother of a baby girl and boy. Since very young she knew the value of family and having faith. She is a devoted Catholic who is always looking for the well being of others. She, along with her husband, have four beautiful children, 3 boys and a girl, to whom she has devoted her life to.
Not along ago her family grew by adding two daughters-in-law and soon later, two grandchildren. Her love is unconditional, her family is her life and she is willing to always go above and beyond for them. That is why it is our time to help her. In this great time of need for her, the last thing we want her to worry about is money. With your generous donations she is going to be able to decide what option is going to be best for her without the financial burden. Anything can help.
On behalf of the Hernandez family and I, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We know that we have a rough road ahead of us but like I told my mother in law “la ultima palabra la tiene Dios” or God has the last word. And we are praying for a miracle.
Please keep Rosa in your prayers.

Hi, my name is Sarah Vaughn. I am twenty three years old and a senior college student at Western Governors University. I have been married almost four years, and we have two perfect children, both boys. One, Aiden, is three years old, and the other one, Dean, is four months old. In July, I woke up with pain in my rib cage area, specifically the right side. I ignored it for a while, but around lunchtime, I was in tears the pain was so unbearable. (I did not cry in child labor or birth if that gives you an idea of how bad the pain was.) I called my husband, and he left work (which cost us some income) and came home to take me to the emergency room. They checked me in and gave me some pain medicine there, and then ran all kinds of tests to figure out what was going on. I got a cat scan and the doctor said he thought I had gallstones in my gallbladder and that I probably needed to have it removed. He said that since I didn’t have a fever, I did not have to have emergency surgery (thank goodness), so I could call this surgeon in the morning and set up a surgery with him. So I went back home and took it easy. I called the surgeon the next morning and he said that I would need to come in and do a consultation appointment with him. So I made that for the next day and went to see him. He then informed me that I would need an ultrasound before he could perform the surgery. So he sent me for that in two days from that appointment. I went and got the ultrasound and had to wait for the results until the next week. Finally they called and confirmed that I had gallstones and would need to have my gallbladder removed ASAP. He scheduled the surgery for a few days later, and then the crap hit the fan. I found out that my insurance had been terminated for the past month. So the emergency room visit, as well as both doctors appointments and the ultrasound appointment were not covered by insurance. And I also cannot have my surgery until this is resolved. So the surgery will (hopefully) be covered if I can hold off until they fix the insurance, but the two office visits, the ultrasound, and the emergency room visit are not covered. I have to pay all of those in full, and the emergency room visit alone was $10,000. Please, please donate to help this mother out! My husband and I need to provide for my two boys but with all of these new added expenses along with a new baby it’s just impossible to do it alone. I am asking for $20,000 to cover the cost of all of these medical expenses. Anything will help! Please please donate! Any amount will help us out. Thank you all so much. paypal.me/sarahallison523
Hi kind strangers,
I never thought I would be asking for money on the internet but I’ve recently been in a situation that has made it clear that I need to finally address the untreated anxiety and depression that I’ve had for so many years. I’m 28 right now and for as long as I can remember I’ve had one type of nervous habit or another that provided some type of “release” from whatever I was feeling. These habits ranged from forceful blinking, to pulling out all my eyelashes, to biting the insides of my cheeks until they bled. I’ve always written these things off as just something I just needed to practice not doing. The result of that was really just replacing one nervous habit for another.
It’s taken me so long to admit that I’m someone who actually needs help and the route I took to this admission involved being incredibly self-destructing. Even with all my other habits, I’ve never been a cutter but last week after a particularly hard day I impulsively sliced my arm with a knife that I was washing in the sink. I’m still trying to wrap my head around why I did it. In a way I’ve been disassociating from what happened. I’m sorry if this is too much to share with strangers but I’m really just trying to come to terms with what I did, who I am, and who I want to be right now.
I found a therapist and I’ve attached screenshots of her information below. Her bio really speaks to me and I feel like I would be comfortable meeting with her in order to see if we are a good fit. It looks like she is willing to work out some sort of payment plan/option but a lot of the cost would be out of pocket for me, even with my insurance.
For the time being I plan on trying to focus on doing some art, and writing, and trying to incorporate more physical fitness into my schedule as a form of my own therapy; but I really feel like it’s time for me to seek some sort of professional help. I’m finally mentally willing to seek this out but I really need some help in order to be in a financial place to seek this out. Any little amount that can be given would be so incredibly helpful and so very much appreciated. I hope that I’ll be able to pass this kindness on to someone else someday as well.

Please, I really need your help. I am in dire need of a service dog and while I can afford to take care of a dog, I can not afford the initial cost to buy one. I was sexually assaulted which has caused me to develop PTSD. My PTSD has made me unable to sustain employment so I have been placed on Federal Disability (SSDI).
My symptoms, which can be mitigated by a Psychiatric Service Dog, include debilitating flashbacks, disassociation, vivid nightmares, and spiraling thoughts. I am randomly overcome with vivid flashbacks where I relive my rape, causing me to enter into hysterics. Understandably, this has prevented me from earning a living by working.
I unfortunately also suffer with Schizophrenia, Anxiety, and Depression. I routinely deal with hallucinations and illogical, crippling fear on a daily basis. All of these symptoms are able to be lessened with a service dog.
A Psychiatric Service Dog would be able to give me reality affirmation by letting me know if a person/creature is really there or is just a hallucination. When I have world-shattering panic attacks and flashbacks, the dog will be able to give me tactile stimulation to calm me down during an episode. A dog can also sense when I am about to enter an episode and help prevent it before it starts. This will be very beneficial while I am driving which has often triggered panic attacks for me.
My goal is to eventually regain my status as a productive member of society like I was before my world imploded. I do not wish to remain on disability forever. I would like nothing more than too be able to feel safe both outside and in my own home. I am currently unable to leave my house for weeks at a time and unable to focus on anything productive. A service dog will help to change that.
Service dogs are incredibly expensive. I am trying to mitigate the cost by joining a program to train the dog. This should allow the costs to even out to $10,000. For a person unable to work and living off of a disability check, $10,000 is unattainable anytime soon. This is why I plead for your help.
Please help me get my life back. I am dealing with horrendous stress and life altering situations that I simply can not resolve on my own. I need every tool I can get to one day be the ideal person I know I can be. If you can find it in your heart to offer any assistance, I would be truly, eternally grateful. Please.
