I got with my girlfriend last year when she was 5 months pregnant with Serenity Marie.  At the time I didn’t think much of it when it comes to finances and raising a baby again.  My oldest is 16 about to be 17 in September.  Any ways my girlfriend got pregnant under very bad circumstances (epar) So she wasn’t even sure if she was going to keep the baby at the time but as we started going to doctor appointments and getting close to the birth I’m pretty sure both of us wanted to keep her.  When she was born it was a miracle.  Now she is almost 9 months old and about to start walking.  The reason I’m here is that I am the only one working.  My girlfriend doesn’t have a license nor do we have an extra vehicle or the means to get one.  We are struggling with bills and all the things that go with it.  I’m behind on everything and I’m doing. my best to stay afloat.  if we could get a little help it would be a miracle.

For most of my life, I have been the person others could rely on. As a director in health support and community action programs, I dedicated my career to serving individuals with developmental disabilities and Native communities—advocating for dignity, stability, and access to essential resources. That work was not just my profession, but my purpose. I built a life around helping others navigate hardship, while also supporting my own family and maintaining a stable home.
In recent years, my life has taken an unexpected and difficult turn. I am now living with multiple complex, chronic health conditions—including Lupus, Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), Hashimoto’s disease, Klippel-Feil syndrome, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain—that have significantly affected my ability to function day-to-day. These illnesses developed and accumulated over time, and I continued working and holding onto my career for as long as I could—until my body could simply take no more. What was once manageable has progressed into severe fatigue, cognitive challenges, and physical limitations that now make sustaining employment impossible.
This shift has created a sudden and overwhelming financial strain. The loss of income, combined with ongoing medical expenses, has made it increasingly difficult to meet basic living needs. In addition, my home is now in a state of disrepair, with issues I do not have the physical or financial ability to address, adding another layer of stress and instability. The strain has extended beyond finances, impacting the stability and well-being of my family in ways that are difficult to fully put into words.
I have taken steps to stabilize my circumstances, including applying for disability support and eliminating all non-essential expenses. However, these systems take time, and there is a significant gap between where I am now and when that support may become available.
Asking for help is not something that comes easily to me. After a lifetime of serving others, it is difficult to be on the other side of that equation. But I also understand the importance of community, compassion, and support during times of hardship.
I am seeking temporary financial assistance to help cover essential living expenses, medical care, and critical home needs during this period. Any support will make a meaningful difference in helping me maintain stability while I navigate my health, chronic pain, and financial challenges.
I remain hopeful that this is a chapter, not the end of my story. I am deeply grateful for your consideration, compassion, and any support you are able to provide.

This is my first for humbly asking for help. I am a college graduate and partially finished grad student for Occupational Therapy (now too long ago to finish). My journey of having no income started 2013 after my older sister suffered a full stroke, paralyzing her left side of her body at 49 years old. She has 4 children (one who has Down Syndrome, oldest). They all live on their own today but cannot support their mom in care. The oldest lives with us who has Down Syndrome. I also take care of my elderly mother (88 y/o). We just lost my father in September 2025 to Cancer through Hospice Care assistance. (They were wonderful!) But we now have half the income to support the bills of a household with 6 people. Both my sister and I are married and her spouse is getting ready to retire. I care for my sister during the day. My spouse works for Uber so not that great of an income! My mom is a retired school teacher from Paradise Valley, AZ and just was discharged from the hospital for a small stroke (TIA) that I know was exacerbated by the financial stress we are experiencing. It is her second one in last ten years. I have no idea what we would do if we lost her!!! She is the sweetest retired school teacher momma!!! We had very little life insurance on my father (about $10,000) that has been gobbled up by bills in just 5 months!!! Refinancing the house last year only vetted about $100 less a month!!! (Terrible deal, but that was our financial situation)!! I am taking care of 2 family members and oversee that my nephew does his home “program” and gets off to his Day Program. I am also diabetic with Congestive Heart Failure, so my health is failing and I struggle through each day. There is constant worry that I may be the next ER visit whilst struggling to provide all the needs of this household!!! It’s the equivalent of two full time jobs without pay!! And I am afraid to know what this has done to my retirement income (basically I won’t have much). But that is a worry for another day. My main concern is keeping my mom and sister out of a nursing home!! And losing all our cats and dogs if we lose the house!! Life should not be so desperate after all our family has accomplished so many milestones! Our church helps with a family meal one day a month which is a blessing!! We just need more help if there is some…? We are a good Christian family and I refuse placing anyone in a nursing home!! I was a Nursing Aide right out of High School for 12-13 years. Then college spent in conjunction made my life extremely busy. Yet I am busier now then those years, just caring for my family and running a household! Anything that we can receive would be extremely appreciated and would benefit a whole, loving, good family and our beloved pets! May the light of Christ embrace you for considerations and THANK YOU for reading our request for help!!! We are a proud family and have never asked for help before, so our gratitude is HUGE!! God Bless You!!!

Hello, I am wondering if this is something that would really work? People really just give money away? I think about it and if I had it to spare I would! So thank you to those people that have the means and are willing to make someone else’s life a bit better. As for me I’m a private person so this is a bit hard, but I’m intrigued. A little about me; I have a full time job, at the same time I am working on a bachelors degree. I have a husband who is a hard multi job working guy, and three kids we are teaching to be good stewards and prepare for a stable future. Why am I “here?”  because we are still catching up post covid. Husband lost his managerial job, I lost my job, we ran through savings, we wound up separating having recently had a baby during that time. (struggle within a struggle) For many years we have rented a property that has been our home and raised our children here. Now we have the opportunity for this property to be our house. Meaning we are attempting to purchase it. What’s keeping us back? The previous comment about using up our savings during our job losses. At the current moment my request for “begging money” is for a few credit cards the lender is wanting us to pay off. This would be doable on our own but time is short because the owner is not willing to wait too long for us. It would take us til the end of the year. We have faith our situation will get better though not has grave as others on here, but we want to keep this house, give it the fixtures it needs and live in it without having to uproot our lives to move who knows where. Be well.  15,00 needed. But less is welcome and appreciated.

With graduation for my senior fast approaching, (he wants to be a pilot after graduation but if this works I might beg for that next :-7  $$$$.)

<span;>I am 64 yrs old, working a full time job and a part-time job. My husband gets the minimal amount of social security due to disabilities, and I’m becoming buried in bills with major home repairs still needed. I have sold everything of monetary value and don’t want to loose my home.
<span;>$300,000 would be a major blessing. It would put our heads above water and get us back on our feet. This would allow me to only need to work 1 job and be able to enjoy the life around us again before my husband is unable to enjoy it.
<span;>Let me tell you what happened:
<span;>I had a good job, working in healthcare, about 5 yrs ago I left that job to care for my mother-in-law who had a stroke and moved in with us due to being unable to be left alone at home. We all had the dream of moving out of town where she, and shortly after her, my own mom, could sit on the deck, watch the wildlife and enjoy their final days.
<span;>The property quickly became more than we had planned for. We had to replace the septic system and the well, <span;>both were costly. W<span;>e need a retaining wall built to prevent a landslide, but no funds are available. We had help from both parents financially while they were alive, so we held up for the most part, but then my husband’s disability became worse. I needed to find work and was blessed with a work from home job but before I could finish the on boarding process my mother-in-law passed away peacefully here at home with us, she was 97.
<span;>Not one month later my mom, 85, had a gastric intestinal bleed, spent several days in the hospital, came home and placed on hospice. She passed 5 months after my mother-in-law.
<span;>One week later we found out my husband’s prognosis is to expect to be in a wheelchair or paralyzed within 5-10 years.
<span;>I’ve always lived by the belief that family comes first, no matter what. Having the chance to care for my loved ones over the years has been my greatest blessing—a journey of love I wouldn’t trade for anything.
<span;>​However, being a full-time caregiver has come with a heavy silent cost. We no longer have the support systems we once relied on, and the weight of our financial future now rests entirely on my shoulders. Between urgent home repairs my husband can no longer physically manage and the lack of a safety net, we are at a breaking point. My biggest fear isn’t just the repairs; it’s the thought of losing the home that has sheltered our family through it all. I am reaching out to ask for help so I can keep providing for those I love and finally find a sense of security again.

I never imagined I would be writing something like this. Asking for help does not come easily to me, and I want to be very honest about that from the beginning. For most of my life, I’ve believed deeply in showing up for others—family, friends, neighbors, and anyone who needed a helping hand. Whenever someone was short on rent, behind on a bill, or simply needed support during a hard season, I did what I could to help. I never expected anything in return. It was just the right thing to do.

Today, I find myself on the other side of that equation.

About seven months ago, I was laid off unexpectedly. Like many people, I believed I would be back on my feet quickly. I applied, interviewed, followed up, and kept pushing forward with optimism. Unfortunately, the job market has been far more difficult than I anticipated, and the months passed faster than I ever thought possible. Despite doing everything I could to stretch savings, cut expenses, and stay afloat, the financial strain has become overwhelming.

The hardest part of this journey has been watching the pressure fall on my family. We’ve done our best to stay strong and hopeful, but the weight of falling behind on our mortgage has been incredibly stressful. Right now, I need $12,000 to fully catch up and stabilize our situation. That amount would allow us to breathe again, protect our home, and focus on rebuilding without the constant fear of losing everything we’ve worked for.

I want to be clear: any amount helps. Whether it’s $10, $25, $100, or simply sharing this message with others, it all matters more than I can put into words. I’m not asking for a handout—I’m asking for a hand up during one of the most difficult seasons of my life.

This request comes with deep humility and gratitude. I don’t take support lightly, and I promise that once I am back on my feet, I will continue living the values I always have—helping others, giving back, and paying kindness forward whenever I can.

If you’ve ever known me as someone who shows up, who gives when others are struggling, or who believes in doing right by people, I hope you’ll consider helping me and my family now. Your generosity—financial or otherwise—means more than you may ever know.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for being part of our story during this challenging time.

With sincere gratitude,

Hello, I am a Christian sixty one year old woman. I currently live in a two bedroom apartment in a old grade school. I discovered a beautiful home by the Cedar River and a state park in northeast Iowa located between Waverly and Janesville Iowa. I am seeking financial support to purchase this property it is listed for $369,000.00. This is a far reach for me to afford in my present situation. I am employed full time as a receptionist at a local veterinary clinic, this gives me the needed funds to live at the property, taxes, insurance, upkeep and utilities. I unfortunately do not have the finances for the  purchase. Also, my friend is close to retirement, we would love to spend our golden years at this property, enjoying days with our family and friends. I would be able to set up my weaving room and teach weaving classes on my 100 year old looms. I would run a home-based business of exterior porch decorating and design. Jeff would enjoy the small river environment and nature. I recently explored the Brave Thinking Institute platform and feel this is not a good fit, that is when I searched further to see if there would be another opportunity. I am a humble hardworking woman who needs a chance to live and fully experience the final chapters of her life. Thank you for reading, your consideration and gift would be appreciated beyond words. It would be a blessing to say to Jeff, “hunny, I purchased a home, let’s live a life together” I do have a paypal and venmo account. Email mlkoth2010@gmail.com

WHY AM I HERE ON THIS SITE VERY HUMBLY ASKING FOR FINANCIAL HELP?

A close friend of mine recommended I try to post on this site and ask for financial help because she could see I was beyond overwhelmed with my current situation and had nowhere else to turn.  I am here to very, very HUMBLY ask for financial help for dental, medical, and mortgage issues. At first I said no because it just seemed so foreign to me. I was raised to be strong and to stand on my own two feet by working hard to earn the money I need to live on.  We were taught to not ask for help because if we did  it meant we were being weak… and being weak was unacceptable! Given my upbringing, taking this step was extremely difficult for me but I honestly feel like I have reached a point where I genuinely feel like I have been backed into a corner and have nowhere else to turn because most of my family is gone…my parents passed in 2009 and my remaining siblings do not have the financial wherewithal to help me.  Most of the close friends and co-workers I had when I was working (with the exception of 2) no longer stay in touch with me.  I am used to working hard to solve my financial issues and since I am unable to work in a normal job… I have tried to find some remote side jobs… only to end up being scammed 4 times. I am unable to work in a normal job due to the progression of the MS and the fact that I am still recovering from 3 severe frontal lobe strokes I went through in 2022. I feel like I am way beyond being capable of solving these problems on my own so I gave in to my close friend’s suggestion to ask for help by posting my story on this site.

I have lived with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for well over 30 years now.  Due to medical complications and the progression of the MS, I was forced to go out on permanent disability in 2005. Fortunately I had LTD insurance with the company I was working for in 2005.  I was lucky to be covered by my company disability until I reached my retirement age. I was able to draw my company disability until I reached my full retirement age. My full retirement age happened at the end of 2025 so I was moved to social security disability when my company disability ended. Unfortunately social security disability is barely enough to make ends meet. I have genuinely spent the past year and a half trying to come up with a remote job I could do from my home but it’s been very difficult. Please believe me when I tell you I have done MY BEST to find fully remote legitimate side hustles in order to pull together enough money to solve my current financial issues but unfortunately the 4 side hustles I found ended up being scams and put me in an even worse financial state.

I have a BS in Computer Science but most of the technology I worked with is outdated and I lost the technology knowledge I used to have when I went through 3 frontal lobe strokes in 2022 due to a blocked artery in my brain. Once I get through completely healing from my strokes, I am hoping to dive into some technical courses so I can find a remote technical job in order to provide me with a solid legitimate second income source.

My first frontal lobe stroke was harsh… it impacted many key functions (mentally and physically) like the following:

• Personality
• Cognitive Functions (Planning, Decision-Making)
• Emotions (Apathy, Impulsivity, etc.)
• Speech (including Speaking/Thinking Intelligently)
• Motor Control/Skills

After each stroke I had, I honestly felt like I was a toddler just learning how to do things all over again. I did not even remember how to walk and I had to go through relearning how to walk 3 times. I have honestly worked very hard to get back to my old self but I still have such a long way to go.

Please open your hearts to donating whatever you can towards the $36,000 I need to solve my current dental/medical issues and to save my home. I need approximately $20,000 to save my home and $16,000 for implant dentures.

MORTGAGE/HELP NEEDED BACKGROUND

😃PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY HOME 😃

After my strokes in 2022, I made the decision to live in my vehicle with the hope of saving the majority of my income until  I accumulated enough for a down payment on a permanent home.  I thought I could live in my vehicle for maybe 2 years and save everything  I received from my disability income until I  accumulated enough for a solid down payment to buy a permanent home. Living in my vehicle was MUCH MORE difficult than I ever expected…especially when I was also trying to recover from multiple frontal lobe strokes. I obviously wasn’t thinking clearly because it actually took me a little over 3 years to finally have enough money saved to buy the home I am living in now.   Unfortunately after losing my company disability in December 2025 I got behind on my mortgage payments. The mortgage company has been holding off on putting my home into foreclosure but I have to come up with a sizable payment by February 15th (to bring the missed payments and late fees up to date).  I have been unable to figure out a way to come up with what I need. Please help me with saving my home because I honestly do not want to go back to living in my vehicle again.  I just need some help with some finances to give me some time to get myself back in a place where I can get into a solid legitimate job.

DENTAL/MEDICAL HELP BACKGROUND

My dental health has been rapidly deteriorating for about 10 years now. When the deterioration first started I went to my dentist freaking out because I didn’t understand what was happening… I mean I was doing everything I could to take care of my teeth. He looked at me with such compassion and told me it was probably due to the fact that I have been on a ton of medications to help me deal with the MS for over 30 years and I am fighting a losing battle with my teeth because those medications feed into my whole body including my teeth. Many of my teeth have just started disintegrating, which then causes part of my teeth to just break apart.  I did reach out and purchase the best dental insurance I could find as well as afford. The sad thing is that dental insurance in this day and age no longer covers the kind of serious issues I have been dealing with…and most of them have lifetime financial caps. The one I could afford I purchased but it had a lifetime financial cap of $2,500. My cleanings were free and minor issues were at a reduced rate but I reached my financial cap 2 years after I purchased the plan. I have done my best to take care of my teeth. I mean I honestly do EVERYTHING I can to care for them properly but I feel so hopeless at times because it is truly like I am fighting an unending uphill battle!  It is truly very exhausting… and I feel like the harder I try the worse things get. Most of my meals are put in a blender first because I can no longer chew solid food without feeling excruciating pain.  To make matters worse I had a bad fall about 5 months ago and lost yet another tooth and cracked a few others so the pain in my mouth is constant now with or without eating. 🥲 Recently my neurologist and my dentist discussed my current situation and came to a united agreement that my best solution would be implant dentures. This is not  cosmetic for me…it is genuinely a necessity!  As of 2 weeks ago I am still a perfect candidate for implant dentures because I still have a decent amount of bone left (by the grace of God thankfully) but I am on a time clock due to my ongoing medical issues, the recent fall, and the many broken deteriorating teeth in my mouth. When I went to the implant office to have the scans done I honestly thought I would be told that I wasn’t a candidate for implants. But I received great news that I still had enough bone left in spite of all the deterioration and damage in my mouth. But the longer I wait the more I am risking getting serious infections in my mouth which could/would in turn cause serious issues internally in my body and could cause me to lose the bone I need to support the implants.  Please believe me when I tell you I have done MY BEST to find fully remote legitimate side hustles in order to pull together enough money for what I need but unfortunately the 4 side hustles I found ended up being scams and put me in an even worse financial state.

My current mental/physical state prevents me from working in a normal work environment… I still struggle with speaking and fully understanding many of the words spoken to me.  More times than not it is extremely overwhelming being around others.  I honestly need the ability to work remotely from my home. I struggle every single day to just take care of myself.  I am finally beginning to get to a point where I am starting to feel more like myself again but I still have such a long way to go… I also still have issues with becoming completely overwhelmed when I am around people because of my struggles with talking and especially with putting the right words together. The doctors told me I was lucky because most people who suffer frontal lobe strokes don’t make it through it. Well I cannot say I feel lucky because I lost so much.  BUT I am so very thankful I am still on this earth because it allows me to still have time with my children and grandchildren. I still have so much to relearn which constantly causes me extreme anxiety and stress. Even the smallest changes in my life cause me to become completely overwhelmed! I do best with a steady routine because I do not handle even the slightest changes very well. Getting overwhelmed is so bad at times it feels like I am suffocating… I do believe in God and I do believe that everything happens for a reason. There’s no way I could keep going without the strength God gives me every single day.  I am hoping I will get enough donations to reach my current financial needs. The implants will prevent the medications I have to be on (due to the many issues the MS causes in my body) continuing to cause the deterioration of my teeth. The current state of the deterioration in my teeth will start causing the possibility of infections in my mouth to move into my body. It could also start destroying what bone I have left to be destroyed. If I lose the bone I currently have…implants will no longer be an option. PLEASE help me stay strong and as healthy as I can. Also please help me live almost pain free and have the capability to eat normally again.  I am here telling my story hoping and praying others will be gracious enough to understand I am genuinely in a situation of urgency.

😃WHAT WOULD YOUR DONATIONS DO FOR ME… 😃

• Cover the cost of the implant dentures which will prevent infections in my mouth to move to infections in my body… Getting implant dentures will also help me eat solid food normally without pain
• Ease the burden of the stress, fear, and pressure I am currently trying to deal with due to the possibility of losing what little bone I have left which would ultimately lead to no longer being a good candidate to get implant denutres
• ALLOW me to stop feeling like I am stuck in “desperate” mode all the time
• Provide me with peace of mind so I can genuinely focus on completely healing from my frontal lobe strokes, allow me to focus on learning the technical skills I need to learn to be able to work in a remote technical job
• Allow me to focus on getting back whatever I can intellectually that I lost from the multiple strokes
• Allow me the time I need to become stronger, healthier so I can stand on my own by creating the additional income stream I need to replace what I lost in 2025 when my company disability ended
• Keep me from losing my home and from having to return living in my vehicle

Please believe me when I say…I am not just trying to get a hand out from others. I honestly need help  so I can get myself re-trained in today’s technology so I can find a legitimate technical job I can work from home in. I also need time to completely heal from the multiple strokes.  I believe that is the best way to get back on my own two feet and pay my bills without needing assistance. If I can get the immediate issues resolved so there is not so much stress and pressure on me.  The number one cause of MS flare-ups is stress so making this step to post my GENUINELY HUMBLE REQUEST was the only solution I could come up with because I honestly need help to enable me to get back to doing things on my own. I do not have the ability to get a loan because my disability income is so low. I also cannot get approved for a payment plan on the implants for the same reason. I also had my wallet stolen in the chaos of my 3rd stroke happening in a parking lot.  The EMT’s told the police there was no purse or wallet at the scene when they arrived but there were over 50 people surrounding my vehicle. My wallet had everything in it… all my credit cards were used and maxed out and there was some additional credit card and loan fraud done. I currently have a reputable company helping me with getting the fraudulent credit off my credit report but it takes time for those changes to make a difference.

In all honesty I have been working hard to find a completely remote job to replace the income I lost from my company disability ending in 2025. Unfortunately there just seems to be more scams out in the world today.  I GENUINELY NEED some help to get past this VERY STRESSFUL HURDLE I am up against right now so please open your hearts to this dire quest of mine. It will mean so much to me and I assure you it will change my life in so many positive ways… it will definitely give me the boost of strength and hope I need to get me back on track in standing on my own two feet.

I sincerely want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to read my story and for any way you can open your hearts to help me with my current financial needs—whether it’s a donation, sharing my campaign with others, or keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I truly believe that hope grows when we come together in kindness and compassion. And I believe in prayers…the bible tells us if others also pray together with me the prayers will be answered so for those of you who believe please pray for me and with me.  Also please know and genuinely understand that I would not be here asking for help if I could solve my current financial issues on my own!

With my sincerest gratitude,
Kat Pope

Hello,

For one I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and read my story 💕 My husband and I have been having a bit of a hard time. I know that everyone right now could use a little help generally. My husband is such a hard worker and takes such good care of all of us. He has had some unlucky situations with employment. He started working for a company that was up and coming and we thought we could trust them because they were friends of ours but as soon as it got slow he was the first one to get asked to leave. Unfortunately we live in a very seasonal area that is only busy in the summer. It is super hard to find a consistent source of income. His current job is just not bringing in as much as we would like it to and we have fallen behind on our mortgage. Anything you are willing to donate will help us significant and we are forever grateful.

Thankyou for all who took the time to read.

My Father had a stroke, heart attack, and blod clot all last year and because he was the main source of income for his household it put a huge stop to things. He had surgery and was in the hospital/Rehab for a count of 6 months. Thank god almighty he survived it all.

It was sleepless nights and stressful days I myself ended up in the hospital with high blood pressure. But i didnt worry about me I was really concerned for my dad.

Im so grateful he pulled through but he could no longer work so alot of bills got pushed back or put on hold. My mother who was a house wife took a job as a caregiver trying to cover what she can aswell as i giving them something everytime i got paid to help out.

I know my situation is not severe as some but i am grateful for him just surviving and still try to work but cant cause his coordinates are still off.

I know we will survive this because raising 8 children and 6 of them being raised in the projects with sometime only a few food stamps is giving thanks to god.

Anything that is given is appeciated because the smallest to some are huge to the others. My father has a building where he stay on the first floor and I stay on the second floor and because he cannot work now owe and being told to move.

We are still in the cold season and Usually asking for help is not what I do because giving is better than receiving but hard times has fallen so im asking for the both of us.

Taken care of people is my career been doing it for 23 years it kinda saddens me im the one that need help.

So anything helps. We do owe more than 100,000 so its hard asking because thats not just pocket change. I know everything is expensive and not going down soon.

Please find it in your heart to give anything I would love to surprise my father with anything to help him.

Blessings and Peace.
