I Hate That I’m Here, But I’m Desperate and Need Your Help Just a Regular Person Having the Worst Time

Hello, my name is Trish and I’m reaching out in a moment of real vulnerability. I’m going through an incredibly difficult time right now and I desperately need help to cover basic necessities.

I’m currently struggling to afford:
đź›’ Groceries to feed myself
🏥 A doctor’s visit I can no longer put off
đź’ˇ Overdue bills that are threatening my stability

This is not where I imagined I’d be, and asking for help is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I’ve exhausted every option I can think of and have nowhere else to turn.

Any amount — no matter how small — will make a real difference in my life right now. Even $1 or $2 helps. If you’re able to give, I am so deeply grateful. If you can’t, I completely understand, and I appreciate you even taking the time to read this.

If your heart moves you, even $1 helps — thank you, this means a lot to me 🙏 👉@hfpaypalme

Urgent Emergency

I am reaching out with urgency and humility to ask for help during a very difficult and unexpected situation. My household is currently without water due to a bill of $1,370.41 that I have been unable to pay in full. This balance is not from normal usage, but from a major leak that I was unaware of until the damage had already been done. By the time the issue was discovered and addressed, the cost had risen far beyond what I could manage.
Water is not a luxury—it is a basic necessity. Being without it has impacted every part of our daily lives. Simple things like cooking, bathing, cleaning, and maintaining a safe, healthy environment for my family have become overwhelming challenges. This has created not only physical hardship but emotional stress as well.
I have made every effort to communicate with the water company and explain the situation, hoping for understanding or a payment arrangement. Unfortunately, they have not been willing to work with me, and the service has been disconnected. I am doing everything I can to move forward, but this amount is more than I can handle on my own at this time.
I am not asking lightly. I understand that many people are facing their own struggles, and it is never easy to ask for help. However, this situation has left me with no other choice. Any support—whether financial or even sharing this plea—would mean more than I can fully express. Every contribution brings me closer to restoring something so essential to our daily lives.
My goal is simple: to get our water turned back on and restore stability for my household. This is a temporary setback, but one that requires immediate attention and support to overcome. I am committed to resolving this situation and preventing anything like this from happening again in the future.

If you can help, my Venmo is @Loveis-1315

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any kindness or assistance you may be able to offer. Your help would truly make a life-changing difference for me and my family.

Help Bridging Medical Debt and Recovery After Injury

I am writing this with intention and honesty, not from a place of helplessness, but from a place of accountability and effort. Over the past few years, I have navigated a series of significant challenges while continuing to work, care for my children, and build stability in my life.

I am a single mother with no financial support, responsible for both the emotional and financial well-being of my children. During this time, I made the difficult but necessary decision to leave an unsafe living situation and purchase a home to create a stable and secure environment for my family. While this was the right decision, it came with substantial financial strain and ongoing responsibilities.

At the same time, I have faced unexpected medical expenses that have added up quickly. I experienced multiple dental issues, including crowns breaking, which required urgent and costly treatment. In addition, I suffered an ACL injury that required physical therapy and time away from work. Because my income is directly tied to my ability to work, this time off was unpaid, creating an immediate financial gap while medical expenses continued to accumulate.

Despite these setbacks, I have remained committed to moving forward responsibly. I have continued working, managing my household, and prioritizing my children’s needs. I have not stopped trying to improve my situation, reduce expenses, and regain financial footing. However, the combination of medical bills, recovery time, and the costs associated with maintaining a household on a single income has made it difficult to fully catch up.

I am not asking for help to avoid responsibility. I am asking for support to help bridge a difficult period so I can continue building stability. Any assistance would go directly toward outstanding medical bills and essential living expenses as I continue to recover financially and physically.

I understand that many people are facing their own challenges, and I do not take this request lightly. If you are able to contribute in any way, I am deeply grateful. If not, I still appreciate you taking the time to read my story.

Single Mother with No Income

Hi. I am 33 years old and a single mother of one little 5 year old girl and we live in Alaska. I have a complicated situation that makes it very difficult to generate any kind of income. First, my health doesn’t help. I will explain. To start, I have a spine injury called spondylolisthesis. A condition in my spine that is painful and greatly reduces the amount of physical activity I can do during the day. I also have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, both of which are very painful and cause great fatigue. And to top it off I suffer from severe anxiety. All of these conditions combined makes it pretty much impossible for me to be able to maintain any kind of job whatsoever. I have not earned enough work credits to apply for social security disability benefits.

I have been struggling for years now barely making it by with the little bit of cash I am able to get from my family. However, my younger and only sister passed away on March 20th, 2026. Funeral and travel costs for my dad and I have been overwhelming. Also, I have until the end of May to move out of my apartment because I can no longer afford my rent. And my truck needs a significant amount of work done very soon otherwise I won’t have that either.

All that being said, I have been forced to look for more help. I want to do better for my daughter and give her the best life that I can and right at this moment in time things are being more than difficult. I was always told that it is okay to ask for help. I’ve always done my best to help others around me. But now I need some real help and I am praying that somebody who can help will see this and understand.

My daughter and I are in need of money mainly to get into a new place to live and to get some work done on my truck. My daughter is also in need of some clothes since she’s quickly outgrowing the ones she has right now. I am looking to raise about $6,000. That should be enough to get us back on our feet again.

HOPE

Hope is the desire for a positive outcome. Believing that “things” can and will change for the better.

Living in a world where people are striving to survive from one day to the next is not easy. “Hoping” things will get better seems to be not enough anymore.

According to google search, in 2024-2025, over 63 million people live in the U.S. between the ages of 50-64. This is equal to 18% of people in the U.S. still in the workforce. Not old enough to retire (collect social security benefits) and too old to want to reeducate themselves to learn new job skills. My husband and I fall into this age demographic. As of today, my husband is unemployed because he no longer is willing and able to continue working jobs that demand “physical labor” in the unspoken job description.

Unemployment benefits have run out. A 3-year 401K plan has been cashed out with selling our 2nd vehicle to pay off debt has been a blessing. Still not out of debt yet but, only having 1 income ($41,760) now keeps us “hoping” for a resolution to an unexpected end to forced unemployment because a business has closed. As a matter of fact, the last 3 jobs my husband has had have closed their doors and no longer do business in our community. As you can see, through not fault of my husband, he is unemployed again.

I currently am employed at a Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center for adolescents ages 13-18 years old. Which is much needed today. I work 2 miles from where I live and have been there for almost 4 years. I have come to realize that we must go through things to get to the other side and family is not who they say they are. Family has led us to believe that without “hope” we might not make it.

Striving instead of thriving has been a way of life for my husband (and I) since his days working on the Family Farm for 33 years. Little pay and no retirement when the Family Farm stopped farming 9 years ago has left us with little “hope” for a better future. Somehow starting over must become a blessing instead of curse. I am “hoping” that with receiving enough money we can pay off our remaining debt and buy our 1st house so that we can move out of the Family Farm house which is falling apart with no repairs in sight.

$16,000 to pay off remaining debt and $200,000 (minimum) for buying a home is a lot of money to ask for but, buying our dream is the reality. Restoring “hope” to the broken hearted is what I am really asking for.

 

Romans 12:12

rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer.

Donations for House Renovations

I am in need of donations so that I can renovate my parents’ house which I currently occupy with my sister. I am a forty-three-year-old man who is currently financially struggling because I have, over the years, committed 60-70% of my salary to debt. I am struggling as it to make ends meet given the ever-rising cost of living. I am shy to ask for complete debt relief because that would be a very hefty ask. My consolidated debt currently seats around +- thirty-five thousand US Dollars (+-35,000 USD). This was caused by my continues refinancing on my part over the years. I therefore have little to maneuver in finances. This situation has made my life to be extremely difficult as I am currently unable to meet my other obligations. I also cannot move out of my parents’ house because I cannot afford to pay rent. I have deliberately avoided getting married or romantic relationships because I cannot afford to.  However, I am able to buy food and I am at least able to maintain my car periodically

My parents have retired back to our home village and they have left us in the care of their house. However, we are struggling to come up with funds to maintain and keep the house in good order. For instance, there are roof leakages in the living room and the ceiling is getting spoiled every rainy season. Also, there are cracks on some walls and the bathroom tiles are peeling off.

Another important thing is the kitchen cabinets which are also in a bad state. It is my intention to total remake the kitchen by building cabinets using bricks and retiling it to modern standards. I also intend on repaving the driveway all towards the immediate outside of the yard.

Renovating my parents’ house will bring great relief on me because I have been such a great disappointment to them in life as I cannot afford to support them financial given my current situation. It will also help put off the idea of selling the house, which they have brought up in the past.

I have heard of great work which you have done over the years to help the less fortunate to handle difficult financial situations. I therefore plead that a helping hand be extended to me as well as this will go a long way into alleviating me from some life pressures.

A hard reset on my only life

Good day, generous people,

I really have no idea how to start…

I’m requesting help raising $61,000 to help me pay off debts which are vehicle loans ($58,551) and pay back a friend who lent me $2500 a few years ago when my son passed away (March 2023) in Oregon so I can bring him home.  I live in Utah.

Why not ask the family?  Two of my kids live hours away and so do my siblings.  They are busy with their own struggles.  My parents passed away several years back, but they struggled all their lives.

I was a single mom and raised four kids.   I have no retirement savings or a house.  I live with my oldest daughter and two grandkids, whom I adore.   I help with household expenses regularly.  I am 59 years old, working as a self-employed traveling technician.  This balances my life with grandchildren’s schools’.  Mom works full-time for a manufacturing company.  I make decent money, but I drive too much.

I took vehicle loans over the years to help me travel for work.  These vehicles have high mileage.   I really enjoy my work; it gives me the feeling of being in my element.  I like being in the field of fixing things.  The fixing makes people’s lives better.  I am glad to be a part of that.  I am not lazy.  Just saying my loans are not a reflection of my personal character.

Going back to my loans – It would be great if I could not have any payments which will enable me to save.   With the amount I pay out on loans plus regular expenses, saving is extremely difficult and costs are not getting any cheaper.  I am hoping to work into my much older years.

I would really love to have a fresh start to provide a better life for myself.  Recently, everyday feels like I’m stuck in this motion and no change however, I’m doing everything I can to provide the best, happiest life for me and my family, I just wish it was without financial pressure.  Without the uncertainty my source of income can be different where I’m not driving so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my “begging.   I know in my heart you will be blessed 10 times over in richness.  Therefore, thank you very much.

Sincerely

-E.L.

Freshman University Student in Debt

I hate to have to ask for money. I just started college at 18 after graduating from high school at the top of my class with a 4.55 GPA, with a bright future ahead of me, but my life has fallen apart. I have stopped going to class because I have to DoorDash before I go to work every single day. I just end up spending all the money on gas. I have to constantly be earning money, so I have missed out on every single hangout with my friends, and now I am losing them. I haven’t even been to church in a year because I can’t afford to spend time at the service. I am ashamed. Even though I am working two jobs and DoorDash, I have to send a lot of my money to my mom back at home to pay for her rent since we lost our house in foreclosure following her and my dad’s divorce.

I have 7 siblings, but they all do not have jobs, either because they are too young or they are just too depressed to work. I am constantly sending them money for essentials like soap. I was just diagnosed with bipolar depression, and I truly feel like my life is falling apart. I do not recognize myself. I have two credit cards that are maxed out, adding up to $3000 worth of debt. I am paralyzed. I just started life, and I already failed. I cannot afford the lat $1,000 payment for my semester at college, and if I do not pay it in a week, then I will have to drop out.

I am so embarrassed, but I am trying my best. I need help. Please. I have no idea what to do, but I know I need to keep going. My father committed suicide recently, and I know that is not an option. I would break my family even more. And they wouldn’t have the money to even bury me. :( Please help. I am sorry.

Medical assistant

At only 4 years old, I was shot during the war in South Sudan. The bullet left permanent damage in my thigh, with metal still inside my leg and two large scars that remain open and painful.

 

For many years, I have lived with physical pain, especially during cold weather, and emotional pain from the scars I carry. Growing up, I struggled with confidence and often felt ashamed of my body.

 

I dream of having surgery to remove the metal and repair the damage so I can live without pain and finally feel confident in my own skin.

 

I am asking for any help possible toward medical treatment. Your kindness could help me heal from wounds caused in childhood and give me a fresh start.

 

Thank you for reading and supporting me.

Medical bills adding up!

Hello internet. I’ve come across some hard times. I am currently injured via a work incident. My thumb got smashed between 2 hard spot while at work a couple of weeks ago. Workers Comp is covering it and helping, it’s just slow and takes time. I’m going to be out 4 more weeks. Last week, my wife who is an independent contractor got injured. She dislocated her knee, so she can’t walk currently. I think her recovery could be a a month at quickest maybe 2 months. And now lastly, my son age 8 has had a tooth injury outside playing ball with other kids. He’s got great teeth, but the ball knocked his tooth out of position. He’s gonna need a corrective procedure which won’t be cheap to fix his. So we are a household of injured people. If anyone could help ue out, it would mean the world to us. The bills are stacking up between rent, car payments, utilities and more. We are going to add child care/tutoring because my son is gonna miss some school. if anyone donates $3K, as soon as I get WC check, I will definitely pay that person back.

Ukrainian trying to survive alone in new country

I’m Polina – a Ukrainian living in the Netherlands.

Because of the war, I had to leave my home and everything I knew behind. The journey was not just difficult, it was traumatic, and I’m still living with the effects of it every day.

Now I’m here, trying to rebuild my life completely from zero. I work hard, but it often feels like I’m just surviving, not living. I’m alone in a new country, without family or support, and it’s honestly very overwhelming.

I struggle with depression and the emotional impact of everything I’ve been through. Some days are really heavy, and even simple things take a lot of energy.

But despite all of this, I still want to move forward. I want to study, grow, and build a stable, meaningful life here. I don’t want to just survive – I want a future.

Right now, I simply can’t afford education on my own. Mostly because for Ukrainians cost 3 times higher than for Europeans, around 9000€ per year and I barely have money for normal life and food.

If you choose to support me, you’re not just helping financially – you’re giving me a real chance to rebuild my life, step by step 🤍

Thank you for reading, and for being part of my journey.

Support for a Young Family Preparing for a Miracle Baby

https://paypal.me/abbiewillett21

My Husband and I are currently going through a very challenging period in our lives, and we are reaching out for support as we try to create a stable future for our growing family.

We are both living at home with family while doing everything we can to save for a place of our own. Our goal has always been to build a safe, secure environment before welcoming a child, but life has not gone to plan. I am currently pregnant, and this baby means everything to us. I have struggled with fertility issues, so being able to carry this pregnancy is something we truly see as a miracle. We are incredibly grateful, but it has also come with unexpected financial and emotional strain.

Recently, I lost my job not long after my pregnancy became known. Since then, I have been actively trying to find new employment, but it has been extremely difficult to secure work while pregnant. Many opportunities fall through, and the uncertainty has made it hard to regain stability. My partner is working, but one income is not enough to keep up with our growing expenses, especially with a baby on the way.

Despite living at home to reduce costs, we are still facing ongoing bills, medical expenses, and everyday necessities that continue to build. We are doing everything we can to budget carefully, cut back where possible, and plan ahead, but we are finding it increasingly difficult to stay on top of everything.

Our biggest hope is to be able to move into our own space before or shortly after the baby arrives. We want to provide a calm, secure environment where we can begin this next chapter as a family. Right now, we feel stuck between trying to prepare for our child and managing financial pressure that keeps setting us back.

Any support we receive will go directly toward essential living costs, preparing for our baby, and helping us move toward stable housing. More than anything, it will give us some breathing room during a time that should be filled with excitement, rather than stress.

We are not asking for a handout lightly. We are working hard, planning for the future, and doing our best to stay positive through a difficult situation. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a meaningful difference in helping us get through this and focus on welcoming our baby into a more secure and supported environment.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you may be able to offer.

Nino Needs Your Help

Hi,

Since the cat was around 3 to 4 months old, we took him from the streets and adopted him. We called him Nino, and we can proudly say that he has lived his entire happy cat life (9 years now) with us, and he has become like a family member mainly to me and my dad.

A month ago when I arrived home, I found him in an unusual place and not wanting to eat, which is strange because he rarely doesn’t accept food of almost any kind (really, one time we found him eating a piece of a watermelon). I didn’t think too much about it; however, the next day I decided to take it to the vet, as he still didn’t want to eat or drink water.

At the veterinarian’s, they performed the relevant tests and found a parasite and that he has cat HIV, but what shocked me is that we castrated him at a very young age, and after all these years they never found that he was suffering from this. And now I realize it is a possibility not to be detected for a long time, but after it gets sick, which is what is happening now for the first time.

This was a month ago, and I’m seeing that his condition hasn’t improved that much after giving all the medicine prescribed by the veterinarian.

After getting the parasite, he is now very weak and has lost a lot of weight, which breaks my heart seeing him in this condition.

Now, in about two or three days I need to take him back to the veterinarian and most likely buy some more medicine for him to have an appetite and improve his defenses and also buy antibiotics.

The issue is that I’ve lost my job due to all the controversy in New Jersey (I work remotely as a freelancer). Although I find some work here and there, things are getting pretty tough; even my dad has started working once again at 70 years of age. As a freelancer, sometimes the gigs are not as frequent as I’d like them to be. This is why I’m taking some courses and learning new skills to improve my income capability and, hence, be more financially stable.

Among the things that I want is to get financially stable enough so my dad doesn’t have to work anymore and I can cover all the expenses, and the urgency for us at this moment is that we are able to pay all the bills, including our beloved Nino’s medical bills too.

This is like my last resource, and I’ll pray for some kindhearted people that can support us this time! I also will pray that God repay you tenfold!

Thank you!!

Single dad needs help

Hello, my name is Eashwer.

I am a father to two beautiful boys, aged 2 and 5 months.

My story is probably one you’ve heard of before, I was pretty well off, a workaholic. Then I met my wife, and she liked to live beyond my means. I took debt after debt to appease her ( like and idiot all the debt is in my name…). And after 3 years of marriage she is planning on leaving me..now with over 70k in debt and needing to pay alimony, I am stuck and desperate. There is a sliver lining though, I just got approved for my dream job in working in law enforcement, but where I live, I am not able to start until I clear off my loans to licensed money lenders. I am not seeking to just clear my mistakes with your help, I just need 10k, to pay off the moneylender, so that I can get my dream job and work towards righting everything else. I need a hard reset. Please help me.
