Financial Hardship Help
Last Updated:
Hi, my name is Karen. My husband and I are in our 60s. We have worked all our lives and find ourselves with no money for the treatment and co-pays for this SECOND boutique of breast cancer. They are coming off! I was going to go back to work until the cancer came back in the other breast. Please, if there is any way you could help, I would be forever grateful. Thank you,

I am currently going through a lot right now, I’m not the person to look for or ask for a handout of any kind. I’d much rather work my way through life and use my mind to generate what I need. Being that my reason for not being able to do so is health related I’m in no control to tell my body to go beyond it’s physical means. I recently took a leave of absence because of my ongoing health issue and my job which pays pretty decent doesn’t feel my injury is work related although I have an issue concerning being heavily fatigued and under bodily stress. My primary care physician has diagnosed with a hernia but tests came back negative. With no specific answer just yet to exactly what’s going on, I’m still undergoing various tests. I go for an EMG test here at the end of this month (Nov 28th, 2023) but because my job has not supported my circumstances, my leave of absence is unpaid. I work as a maintenance technician at the Boeing of SC. we are not a unionized workplace so I’m unsure of how my situation will be resolved. Meanwhile my bills have still continued and I don’t have much family support. I have nearly $4000-$5000 dollars in medical expenses do to my ER visits that were made throughout this time period. I’ve never been to any hospital for any major injuries other than a car accident and I’m very uninformed about how the medical system works. Of course I understand much more now than previously before my issues arose. I’m a pretty fit person, I go to the gym faithfully and like I said I’m willing to work towards my goals in life. I look to eventually open my own business and create some financial stability so I’m not stuck in a situation like this ever again, because who knows when misfortune will occur and leave any of us in a bad predicament. So as I finish this soliloquy expressing my concerns, I am in a bit of hope that there is some help out there that doesn’t leave a good man begging even though that’s exactly what this is ironically, at least my peers won’t take mockery of my position of vulnerability. Thank you for taking the time out to read this and to whomever takes their time and money out to help a brother, thank you dearly, I’m truly grateful and God Bless You!!

Hello to whom it may concern:
I introduce myself:
My name is Alberto Alpuche. I am 29 years old, with no legal problems.
I hope to have help, my mother needs chemotherapy and I need financial help.
I tell you my story…
A few years ago my dad passed away due to a robbery in Cancun, Mexico. When my dad passed away I took care of my mother and my younger siblings, but the money was not enough, so I found a job offer in Canada (on Architectural Rendering) and that helped me with the expenses of my mother and my siblings, every week I sent money to my mother, 10 months ago my mother began to have discomfort and went to the doctor, they did more than 20 tests for 4 months she was under medication, then she had 2 operations and two autopsies and still not getting better.
Two months ago she was diagnosed with cancer and I have not been able to help her with the medical expenses, just when my mother got sick I had problems in Canada.
Every night I check my bank statement to see that everything is going well, on March 8th of this year, when I looked at my account, it was blocked.
The next day I went to the bank and they told me that they had emptied my debit cards and my credit cards were overdrawn, the bank reported my loss of $14,469.
For weeks I was going to the bank and was hung up on the phone for hours to sort it out. Three weeks later the bank told me that they could activate my cards, but that they could not give me the money back; and that I had to pay for it.
For weeks I was going to the bank and was hung up on the phone for hours to sort it out. Three weeks later the bank told me that they could activate my cards, but that they could not give me the money back; and that I had to pay for it.
For weeks what I earned at work I credited to my cards and sent to my mother. Then taxes went up. Between paying my cards, sending money to my mother for her medicine, the rent for my room and my food, I couldn’t make ends meet, so I started to sell all my things, my computers, my clothes, shoes, TV, bed and many more, now just when I have no more to sell (I sleep on a mattress on the floor) my work contract ends this Wednesday November 8th and, because of the season here in Canada I have not been able to get anything, neither cleaning or construction or anything else. I can’t go back to Mexico because I only have 84 dollars in my wallet, I have asked for help here in Canada, but they say I can’t apply because I am not a resident, and I don’t have enough money for the flight either, now I don’t care if I sleep in the street or in a shelter, the only thing I want is to get money for my mother’s chemotherapy. I have asked “friends” for help. “Friends” who all the time helped and in the end were not there for me. These days for the second time I have considered suicide, but all I think about is my mother. She doesn’t deserve that. I really just want her to be ok, and to be able to get some money so I can go back.
My mother’s chemotherapy is divided into 4 sessions, each session will cost 19,500 MX = 1150 DLS approx. Approximate Total: $4600 DLlS. And her medication during the process is another cost.
His treatment starts on November 23rd and I am already completely desperate. I really don’t know what to do.
If you have questions or want me to send copies of the measured documents, just ask.
I thank you infinitely.

Good day to all you lovely people! I’m typing this from my mobile so the format might be off, but bear with me please 😭
Long story short, I’m deep in debt. Covid didn’t help, made it worse, and I’m sure it’s happened to a lot of you as well, but hey, thank you for stopping by to read this, and help if you could ☺️
A couple of years ago, my sister had stroke. This led her to not being able to work for an entire year (and a little more) as job markets were bad. My sister also falls ill really easily, have and been in and out of A&E too often.
Last year, my mom underwent surgery for her spine. To be frank, I’m not sure which surgery in particular. My understanding is that the nerves were sitting on her spine and that was giving her pain all the time. This surgery was done in hopes that it’ll lessen the pain, and maybe her legs would feel better. Unfortunately, that was not the case, although it did help lessen the pain a little. This year, she had a total knee replacement done, and will be going for another surgery done next year.
The death of my grandparents didn’t help either as I was paying for funeral too.
Hospitalisation bills ain’t cheap, and I now have to pay for both my sister and mom. I’ve paid off most of it, by burning my savings, and taking up bank loans. I am sinking in debts due to taking up loans. At this point, I am about $60k in debt.
I am working full time, and every pay check I receive, it goes straight to paying off debts, daily necessities, mortgage (parent’s place, I do not have my own)… you name it, I’m paying them. My parents are both retired due injuries and well, old age. I’ve reached out to my relatives in hopes that they would lend a hand but none agreed to help. This led me to taking up bank loans, hoping to help with the financial burden. It was clearly a bad decision as I now am unable to pay even the minimum amount per month. I’m barely scraping by, let aside living pay check to pay check.
There’s no one I can turn to, and I am at my wits end. I’m doing everything I can but it isn’t enough. I’m really burnt out. I’m trying, I really am 😭
Any help is appreciated, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May good things happen to you, and all your wishes come true!

Hello, I’m writing this request on behalf of my mother.
My mother is 65 years old and has many health conditions: osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, COPD (lung disease), sciatica (pinched nerve), a herniated disc, fatty liver, high blood pressure, and blood circulation issues.
My mother needs to have surgery to remove masses of fat from her thighs.These masses of fat put a heavy strain on her legs which affects her circulatory problem on the veins in her legs, and triggers her bone pain from the osteoporosis. In addition to that it, it also prevents her from walking properly.
Her health insurance has approved the surgery, because it is medically necessary. However, there is an out-of-pocket fee she is required to pay, $3,500. This fee is not covered by her insurance. My mother is unable to pay this fee, because her only source of income is her monthly SSI Disability check she receives due to her health conditions. She uses that check to pay her rent and other bills, but after that she is left with nothing. I also can’t afford to help pay this fee for her.
I’m asking for help to pay the $3,500 out-of-pocket fee plus $1,000 to cover her post surgery treatment, transportation to and from the hospital, pain medication, and compression recovery stockings. In total, she needs $4,500 as soon as possible so she can have this surgery.
Whether you can donate a lot or a little, my mother and I will be forever grateful for your generosity and kindness. Thank you for taking the time to read my request, I really appreciate it. Regardless of your ability or inability to donate, I send you blessings and vibes of good health, happiness, economic abundance, and protection.

I was an artist, and professor who has been living with CPTSD since I was 12 years old from trauma and childhood abuse that had lasted for years. This has been very crippling and highly traumatic. I am in desperate need of a life altering procedure to help alleviate my CPTSD which has stolen so much from me. It has hindered my ability to teach, paint, and live a fulfilling peaceful life. I am asking for $10,000 US dollars in order to have the procedure and cover travel expenses, and eventually get back to painting, teaching and get my life back.

Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out with a humble request for assistance. Recently, I spent six days in the hospital due to complications from Chron’s disease, and I am currently undergoing outpatient treatment, which has resulted in a hospital bill of $3751.79. The financial strain from these medical expenses is overwhelming, and it is significantly impacting my day-to-day life. Additionally, as winter approaches, I am in need of help to provide my 9-year-old son and myself with warm winter clothes. At 33 years old, navigating these challenges has been a tough journey. If you are able to contribute, any amount would be deeply appreciated. You can send your donations to my PayPal account at paypal.me/MelissiaBarnes. Your support will go a long way in alleviating the financial burden and ensuring that my son and I can face the upcoming winter with warmth and comfort. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Hi, the past few months have become harder and harder, and I feel like the walls are closing in on me as it pertains to the debt that continues to pile up on me. I am a hard working self employed man that’s been going through the roughest challenges in my life. On July 1st 2023, I had an accident while doing yardwork which required me to have to go to the hospital and have a wound treated, I have no health insurance, so you can guess how high my medical bills are right now. On top of the high medical bills that I currently have, I have been hit very hard by the current economic decline in this country. Currently, I have fallen behind with my utility bills, and I am so overwhelmed by so much uncertainty. My cell phone service, Wi-Fi service, and water are all about to get cut off. It has been 2 months since I’ve been able to buy groceries, and I’ve really been struggling just to be able to have enough to survive on a weekly basis. If somebody could find it in their heart to donate $2,416 to help me get caught up on my bills, I’d greatly appreciate it.

I was a truck driver for 35 years. I was driving flatbed with a load of steel to far west steel. It had been freezing rain most of the way from Vancouver WA to Eugene Or. when I arrived. I had to pull my tarps as well as I could They were full of ice, I rolled it onto my flat bed and jumped up to fasten it down. when I jumped up and grabbed my tarp, I hit some ice and fell to the ground with my 140lb tarp following me hitting me just after I hit the ground. well to make a long story short I had 3 knee surgery 2 shoulder surgeries and 2 back surgeries and now live with a spinal stimulator in my back which helps a lot. but it took 3 years to heal and get myself into shape to get back to work. than as luck would have it I had a case of kidney stones where I had to have surgery. That is when the found the prostate cancer and was told it was very aggressive and needed to come out. Well while having it taken out, they found what is called a GIST tumor that was 6.4cm. they were not able to take all of it out. well, I lost my prostate but then I have had to battle GIST (gastral intestinal stromal tumor) It’s a very rare cancer and they still are not sure what causes it. So now I’ve been fighting that and being sick so often. So now for the last 2 1/2 years fighting cancer with chemo drugs that my body has not dealt with kindly. Well now I am starting to feel some relief I’m trying to start a business I can do from home but I’m in debt almost 40k from Dr bills and hospital bills I’m facing so far behind I can’t get anything going to be able to help when everything costing so much these days I’m having to come here and beg. not something I’m good at or ever want to. I just need a start and I just haven’t been able to. I have been going without food for days to make sure my dogs can eat and now after selling the last of my rainy-day silver and gold. I don’t have enough for my rent. I need help and government isn’t being much help. and my credit cards are all maxed out. thank you for taking the time to read about my life. I need 50,000 to fix my life.. paypal.me/rclitts

Hi there, I’m lovingly known as Jelly Bean🍭🍬😊 I Really Appreciate a platform like this that allows a person like me to ask for donations in a discreet manner. Mind you, if you are a SCAMMER, I happen to be Very Savvy in regards to how you operate, I will be watching out for your presence here and with every intention to report you. Dealing with a SCAM is The Last Thing that I need on my plate right now!
I’ve done my fair-share of research about this website and I am both thankful and pleased that it has some positive ratings. I surely do not know what to expect in regards to monetary donations being made here, I am Hopeful♡♧♡ Hope, Faith and Love…..Those are the 3 main things that keep me going.
I’m currently 42-years-old. I was Super Excited to turn 40 and had looked at it as a new beginning of the next chapter in my life as a middle-aged, well-experienced adult. Unfortunately to my Total Dismay, my physical health started to go downhill in multiple, scary ways. The truth is that given the amount of chronic stress that I have suffered throughout my life, I’d actually Always been fearful that it would catch up with me someday; I guess I didn’t expect it to affect my health as early as 41.
My battle to regain my health to the best of my ability has been ongoing, with having to quit working approximately 18 mos ago. I had become more and more sick-feeling at that time with a plethora of GI issues. It had started with infrequent heartburn and the occasional stomach ache. Within a couple of months the stomach aches were happening daily and the pain of them increasing. The heartburn had become unbearable and was causing me chest pains. I had started seeing my Primary Care Dr twice a month in order to be able to keep her updated with my symptoms. She’d felt that once a month would be sufficient but I knew better, changes were happening fast. She was treating me with medication for the stomach acid issues which eventually caused me to feel nauseated most of the time.
It was when I had become so incredibly weak and tired that I sought a 2nd opinion by an additional Primary Care Dr. as my Dr was not addressing these issues. The new Dr immediately noticed how pale and tired I was and promptly ordered a complete blood panel, it was ready with results right away and they showed that I was severely iron-deficient and was suffering from anemia. He told me that if it hadn’t been caught right then and there, I would have needed to receive blood at the hospital. I started a high-dose iron and vitamin C regimen. It was at that time that I decided that I had to quit working because I did not have the strength or energy to do-so any longer.
It so happens that the inflating goods and services in the United States were on the rise at the same time that I quit working. My income had primarily provided my family and I with gas, groceries and any “extras.”
My physical condition started to get better and yet worse all at the same time. I had a hard time maintaining my weight and nutrition as I started to have diarrhea daily. I was drinking as many nutrients as I could tolerate and made sure I was getting electrolytes and enough sugar. My weight dropped from 150-125, I am 5ft 8″ so it was pretty noticeable and my “village” was becoming increasingly worried about me.
It was when my food started literally stacking in my throat that my regular Primary Care Dr finally did something more for me and referred me for my 1st-ever endoscopy.
The endoscopy revealed a suspicious and tumorous mass in my upper stomach. Thankfully the mass was somewhat blocking my lower esophagus and helped to cause my symptoms, this proved to be a life saver!!!
The 5.8cm single tumor was removed by laporascopy 3 days later. My surgeon explained that he felt certain that it was not cancerous; after all, he’d removed hundreds of tumors and this one did not have cancerous appearance.
10 days later, on my husband’s birthday, I received the pathology report in the inbox of my healthcare app. The tumor was cancerous on the inside and it was a Very Rare cancer called GIST- gastrointestinal stromal tumor. You can imagine my shock, I kept the fact to myself that day. In fact, I waited to tell my husband and our kids until I knew more and detailed information.
With my own research and as a patient of Oncology I learned that I was 1 of only 5,000 or-so people in the U.S. who are diagnosed each year with GIST, and I am 10-20+ years younger than most of those people.
I blame CHRONIC STRESS and the amount of mental anguish I have struggled through during my life as the Main Reason for my rare and early cancer onset. I have been receiving cancer treatment ever since and not without additional difficulties. I’m iron-deficient again as we speak and have started to have GI symptoms again. It is hoped that this is due to the resection of my stomach and issues with how/if it healed. I will have a 2nd endoscopy at the end of this month.
My newer Oncologist is 1 of 2 GIST cancer specialists in my state, 5.5 hours away. My family and I have been in a financial crunch for quite a while now and money is very tight, it is hard to travel, stay in a hotel and eat out. My husband and I have really good health insurance but the co-pays have added up to thousands because of the amount and type of appointments I’ve gone to.
Our daughter graduates high-school next year and things like having enough money to throw her an excellent graduation party crosses my mind. Not to mention whether or not we will be able to afford her senior Pictures.
One of our used vehicles was in the shop just last week and our 2nd used vehicle is scheduled for repair next week. Both vehicles should have new tires before the winter months.
Our list of needs and bills just keeps adding up and it’s taking away from my path to wellness and my ability to heal. My husband struggles immensely with anger problems, anxiety and worry. His worry has become intolerable and his pride along with his self-esteem has kept us from asking for help. He’s warned me not to publicly ask for help.
I feel safe from verbal abuse by asking for help at this website.
If you’ve read my story I APPRECIATE YOU. If you make a donation to my PayPal account I know that you will reap what you sow and your favor will be returned in time by ways of Faith, Hope and Love.

First of all , I just want to thank anybody who takes the time to read my story and find it in their hearts to assist in anyway possible. No matter the amount, EVERYTHING is appreciated and goes a long way. This website truly is a blessing and I hope to be able to help someone else and pay it forward in the future.
In July of this year my wife broke her ankle in 3 places. She was working at the time, but since she was unable to go into work for 2 months they let her go. Since she lost her job she has not been able to work because she goes to physical therapy 3 times a week. I have a job, but the little that I make cannot support the 2 of us. We have a little in savings, but that is slowly dwindling down to nothing. I live paycheck to paycheck and my whole paycheck goes to rent, groceries, and utility bills. Prior to breaking her ankle my wife had other medical bills for an autoimmune disease called CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome). This is caused by mold in her lungs from growing up in an old home with mold most of her life. We live in a studio apartment now in an old building, so we want to buy a new house so that the treatments she is doing for her autoimmune disease is not a waste. She is currently on a detox program to remove the bacteria and mold in her lungs. We are having to pay out of pocket for all of these tests and programs because my insurance does not cover these type of programs. Im am trying to start up a side hustle business to help pay for our bills that are piling up, so donations will go towards that as well.
We live in South Florida so buying a home here is extremely expensive. We found a new community to have our home built from scratch for half the price of any home here. This home will be safe for my wife to live in with her condition, and her health is my number one priority! There are several upfront costs associated with this type of purchase. We were pre-approved for the loan, but there are a lot of conditions to be approved. Some of the conditions are my wife finding a job, and paying off her car, which is $10,000.
Again, my family and I truly thank anyone that took the time out of their day to read our story and possibly donate. May God bless you and multiply your kindness.

In my early twenties, my world was shattered when my father was diagnosed with a chronic liver disease. He endured unimaginable pain and medical treatments for over seven long years. Our family was plunged into a never-ending nightmare of hospital stays, mounting medical bills, and crushing debts. Fresh out of college, I took on any odd job I could find to support my family while juggling my studies and hospital shifts. It was a relentless struggle.
We lost my father in December 2017, but the dark cloud of debt continued to loom over us. I worked tirelessly, picking up extra shifts and freelancing to keep our household afloat. Then came the lockdown, and our world crumbled even further.
Life post-lockdown has been a relentless rollercoaster of emotions, physical agony, and mental anguish. In the latter half of 2021, my body betrayed me. A paralytic attack struck the left side of my body, caused by a sinister infection in my cerebro-spinal fluid, resulting in debilitating vertigo attacks. Months of treatment left me anxiously pondering my job security while the debt continued to spiral, reaching a staggering $6,000.
After a year of battling the paralysis and infection, I sensed that something was still amiss. I relied on public transport for my daily commute, and one fateful day, my leg felt strange. Ignoring the discomfort for a few weeks, I finally sought medical help.
The diagnosis was a devastating blow. More than 70% of my right hip bone had deteriorated, rendering my body incapable of bearing my own weight. An emergency surgery was imperative, though only partly covered by my insurance. My world crumbled again, and I underwent the surgery, followed by months of bedridden recovery. No employer had the patience to wait for my extended absence, and I lost my job.
Since June 2023, I’ve been grappling with the overwhelming challenge of making ends meet at home, let alone tackling the mountain of debt, which has now soared to an insurmountable $15,000. All I fervently ask for is a chance to reclaim my life—a sum of $25,000-30,000 to help me recuperate from my medical ordeal and sustain myself until I can secure a job and rebuild my life.

I sustained a serious injury in 2019 when heavy boxes fell on my head while at work. Unfortunately, the injury did not heal as it should have, resulting in a prolonged period of severe concussion lasting over a year. The impact of this accident extended beyond my head, affecting my neck, spine, shoulders, and back, resulting in chronic pain and discomfort. Moreover, I experienced memory loss and significant cognitive impairment due to brain trauma.
This incident occurred in my workplace, and regrettably, the necessary first aid was not administered promptly, which likely contributed to the extended recovery period.
Furthermore, my workplace showed no willingness to take responsibility for the accident, and the workers’ compensation process was rushed to dismiss my case. I was left with the difficult decision of pursuing a lawsuit, but the financial burden and concerns about my immigration status prevented me from doing so.
The repercussions of this accident have persisted, and I have recently learned that the injury has shifted downwards, affecting additional parts of my body, including my leg.
Despite these severe injuries and the immense challenges they’ve presented, I persevered in trying to work. As an immigrant without family support in my adopted country, I felt a deep responsibility to sustain myself and manage my medical expenses. However, my condition has worsened, and I am no longer able to work, even from home. I’m currently grappling with debilitating symptoms, including dizziness and impaired vision. Unfortunately, I can’t afford the medical bills and accumulated debt, which prevents me from seeking proper diagnosis and treatment.
My situation has become dire; in addition to my health issues, I’ve lost my immigration status. While I await restoration of my status, I do not have access to government subsidies or assistance. The financial strain is taking a toll, and I am on the verge of homelessness despite the assistance I’ve received from kind-hearted individuals. While I am deeply grateful for their help, I require more substantial support.
I urgently need funds to cover my back and leg treatment, including a necessary surgery. Furthermore, I require financial assistance for basic living expenses as I work to regain my health, as well as funds for diagnosing and treating the issues with my eyes and brain.
In my current desperate situation, I would be immensely grateful for any amount of support, as every contribution, no matter how small, can help me in some way, whether it’s to pay for essential utilities or contribute to my medical bills. My immediate goal is to secure $25,000, which would cover my medical expenses and basic living costs for the next few months. While this amount may not cover the entirety of my treatment, I firmly believe that once the root cause of my dizziness is identified and treated, I will be able to work and gradually cover the remaining costs.
I humbly request your assistance and generosity during this trying time. Your contributions can make a significant difference in my life, allowing me to access the necessary medical care and support to regain my health and stability. May you be blessed, and I hope that you never experience such hardship. Thank you for considering my plea for help.

My 3 year old son is going through Lymphoma Treatment with Pittsburgh Hospital. He is a trooper, and we just want to get him the help he needs. It all started as a small lump on his left clavicle lymph node. We are in shock that life has taken such a turn. His brother, who is 4, constantly asks where he is and it is heartbreaking.
The medical bills start to pile up as well as added expenses going to and from Pittsburgh. We do not have insurance able to cover these expenses, and costly missing work. I am unsure what to do and asking for help from others.
