I am starting college January 5th, but I need assistance paying for tuition ($1200) by that date. A lot has happened this year that made me unprepared for the beginning of college. I assisted both family and friends financially throughout the year, but none are in the position to assist with my tuition. I am more than happy with whatever amount anyone can give right now and I thank you in advance for all the support given.

Starting over with nothing
Hello,
My mother always said, if your 15 minutes early your on time. If your on time your late. She raised me to be independent. I have worked my whole life and supported myself. Recently within the last 2 yrs. I had to sell my home and leave my life of 30yrs. I tried everything I knew, to keep from having to leave. Nope, that option was not in my cards. I moved 5 states away and stayed with my uncle and aunt until I could get on my feet. I didn’t know anyone. It was scary, but I was positive about this new start. However in May of 2025, I lost my brother. He was the last family member from my immediate family. I am the last family member. Then I turn in the gap to see my son with his family. I always thought, I’ll be the Gigi, and every Sunday the kids will come over for dinner and enjoy my fam. That is not where I stand today.
While 5 states away, not knowing anyone. I got a job, an apartment, and was starting to love my little life. I was in the process of transitioning to a new and better job opportunity when my brother passed. So, I flew home, to unexpected conditions that left him on life support, and having to make a decision that no one wants to make. Already out of work, waiting on new job, bills, cost of living, etc….i started falling behind. I thought, this is not supposed to happen. And suddenly a relationship formed. It brought a spark of hope that things were going to turn around. Until I asked for help, and found myself having to move out of my apartment. With nowhere to go, I had to make a choice, and stayed with my new found Beau. While trusting him to help me move and put my belongings in storage. Half of came u stolen. He refused to help me with storage. I just started new job, having to take time off causing me to loose that job. So now, I’m not working, not able to provide for myself, and my new beau turned out to not be my knight in shining armor. And then when I got shoved into the tub causing cracked ribs, I knew it was time to go. No time to pack ANYTHING. My whole life packed up and moved to 5 states away, to having to walk away from it all, car, furniture, pictures, animals, family heirlooms, tools, etc. in a frantic state of mind. I grabbed some clothes and a few toiletries, toothbrush, bar of soap, deodorant. And jumped on a greyhound and came back home. No one knew anything. Until I made a phone call and asked to be picked up from bus station.
That was on November 18th. I have cried and cried til I couldn’t cry anymore. I ask myself how could I allow myself to get to this point. What I have learned is, material items can be replaced, but life cannot. However, my heart hurts badly when I think about my animals. They depended on me. And I feel like I failed them. Or The ring that my son gave me the morning that I moved away. The small things in life have the biggest impact.
However, I keep telling myself it’s gonna be ok. But I now sit here with no way to go, no job, nowhere to live(I’ve been going from my kids on week to a friend the next week. I am fortunate to have my life. And that’s what I have to keep reminding myself.
However, the law of the land does not wait for man. This is the longest I’ve been without a job. I’m beside myself. I have a goal. I know what I want in my life. I have been knowing. Now that I am with a bare foundation, It can be built with solidarity. And what I want to do, I know I can do it. I need help.
I’ve never been in a situation where I need help like I do today. It is a very humbling experience. What I would like to accomplish, is to have my own cake business. And have done cakes under someone else. I have always helped other where and when I could. However, this time I want to help myself. And I cannot do it alone.
I need help with getting reliable way to go which would consist of $20,000. And living quarters to have stability.
I am at the mercy of someone else’s hand. And would be forever grateful for someone to reach out and say, I believe in you! I want to help. That’s what anyone would want to hear, I think.
With closing in my request, I hope & pray the right person finds this. I don’t know how to go from this point. And need help, monetarily, to get back on my feet.
Thankyou for your donations. It will forever be told in my life story.

A New Start: Support for Our Family’s Relocation
For the past three and a half years, our family has focused on stability. We lived at the same address, built our lives there, and maintained a perfect record of being on time with our rent. We are a family of four, including our two teenage daughters and our three dogs, and we have always taken pride in being responsible and self-sufficient. However, a recent sequence of events has forced us to relocate, and we are now reaching out to our community for assistance in finding a new home.
The situation began when stormwater from a neighbor’s property flooded our basement. During the process of drying the area out, the restoration revealed black mold. For our family, this discovery required an immediate move. My wife is currently on disability (AISH) as she battles Melanoma, a condition that has left her with only a quarter of a lung. Because her respiratory health is so compromised, living in an environment with any presence of mold is not possible. To protect her health, we moved into temporary housing immediately, which has created a significant financial strain.
This transition occurred just as I had left my job to launch our own building maintenance company. We had planned to use our savings to get the business running, but those funds are now being directed toward the high costs of temporary stays. Despite these challenges, we are moving forward. My wife, a professional in the Addiction and Community Health field, is currently seeking part-time work to help support the family. We are hardworking people who are simply looking for a stable foundation so we can return to our professional goals.
Our Current Goals
We are willing to relocate to find a clean, pet-friendly home. Our three dogs are fixed and very well-behaved, and we have the references to prove our history as excellent tenants. We are looking for a landlord who values long-term stability and responsible care of their property.
To get back into a permanent home, we have set a goal to cover the following costs:
$2,200 – Security Deposit
$2,200 – First Month’s Rent
$500 – Pet Fees (Common for multiple pets)
$1,100 – Moving Expenses
$2,000 – Emergency Housing and Replacement Essentials.
Because we had to leave so quickly to protect my wife’s lung health, we are currently facing high daily costs for temporary housing. Additionally, some essential household items and furniture could not be moved due to potential mold spores, and these need to be replaced to ensure her new environment remains medically safe.
Whether you can provide a donation, a lead on a rental, or simply share this message, we appreciate the support. Your help allows our family to stay together and move into a safe, healthy environment. Thank you for your time and your kindness.
Home repairs for me and my animals ❤️
Hi, if you are even reading this it means so much to me. I never thought I would be asking for money like this, but I’ve reached my fall down. To be honest, I have been in poor mental health for years, and haven’t taken care of myself personally, though I was getting by financially and never really had to worry about any financial struggles due to I live a humble simple single wide trailer life. Now that I am, I’m at a loss of help and support. Recently over the last year I’ve had major issues, ie water damage, roof damage, plumbing issues, that have yet to be fixed, along with health issues, car issues and vet bills that have drained me financially and mentally. I’m humbly asking for assistance as my credit is now branded as poor. I truly need help to get everything properly fixed on my home, Basically I’m asking for a 2nd chance to get back on track somehow by most importantly fixing me and my furkids home. If any donations at all are made it would be so helpful. I’m a single person, single income home with no one to reach to. I have tried my credit union who has sadly also declined me.

A QUESTION THAT CHANGED MY LIFE: HELP ME EDUCATE 30+ VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN KENYA
One rainy morning in Athi River, Machakos County, I was taking my son to school. As we drove past the muddy paths of the surrounding slums, he suddenly pointed out of the window and asked a simple but piercing question:
“Dad, why isn’t that child going to school like me? And why is he being rained on?” I didn’t have an answer.
Later that day, on my way back from school, I went looking for that child. I found him wandering through the slum, crying and calling for his mother. Eventually, I learned that she had left him sleeping in a makeshift shelter while she rushed out to look for a casual job—hoping to earn just enough to buy food for the day.
That moment changed my life forever.
From One Child to Many Lives Changed
From that day, I began intentionally seeking out children like him—children trapped by poverty, vulnerability, and circumstance, not lack of potential. I started with one child, then two, then more.
Over the years, despite limited personal resources, I have supported 10 vulnerable children in primary school and others through university. Today, some of them are employed, independent, and supporting others. Their lives—and futures—were transformed simply because someone answered the question my son asked that rainy morning.
The Growing Need—and My Strained Capacity
The slums around Athi River continue to expand. Every year, more children are forced out of school due to extreme poverty, food insecurity, unstable family structures, parents relying on irregular, poorly paid casual Labor among other reasons.
While my commitment has never wavered, my resources are now severely strained. Long-time well-wishers are giving less each year due to tough economic times in Kenya. Yet the number of children needing help keeps growing. Turning these children away is not an option—but I cannot do this alone anymore.
The Vision: Educating 30+ Vulnerable Children from 2026 Onwards
I am seeking to raise USD 77,570 to support 30+ vulnerable children beginning in 2026 and beyond. This funding will provide school fees (primary and secondary education and university), school uniforms and learning materials, daily meals and basic nutrition, basic healthcare and psychosocial support, and stable educational continuity, so children stay in school. This is not charity—it is investment in human potential.
Why Your Support Matters
Education does more than teach reading and writing. It breaks cycles of poverty, restores dignity, creates future leaders, workers, and parents who uplift their communities
I have seen this transformation firsthand—10 times already. With your support, I believe we can replicate this impact 30 more times.
A Personal Promise
Every dollar raised will be used transparently and responsibly for the children’s education and basic needs. These are real children, in real communities, whose lives can change forever because you chose to act.
That rainy-day question from my son still echoes in my heart. Today, I am asking you to help answer it. Let us touch Children who don’t lack intelligence or dreams—only opportunity.
Please join me in giving 30+ vulnerable children the chance to go to school, stay dry when it rains, eat when they are hungry, and dream without limits.
Thank you for believing in these children—and in the power of education. Your contribution directly funds education and basic survival needs—creating measurable, lasting impact. Your support can move a child from the mud into a classroom—and change a life forever.
Our kindness today can rewrite a child’s tomorrow—one school day at a time, so that when it rains again, let these children be in classrooms—not alone in the mud. You can make that possible.
Stand with us. Give a child a chance!

My rent is due tomorrow…
My rent is due tomorrow, it’s 760.00 and I have 46.27 in my account. I’ve tried selling the few small things I thought had value but they don’t, and I’m truly alone in this world so I don’t have anyone that can help me. I’m not sure how I’ve gotten in this financial hole, i work 2 jobs and usually 6 days a week but all the money I earn goes towards bills/debt/etc. My landlord doesn’t do extension on rent so I’m facing homelessness and I’m beyond scared. If there is anyone willing and able to help, you would quite literally save me. Im sorry to even ask but I don’t know what else to do. Please know that I would be beyond forever grateful and at some point I will pay it forward.

Domestic Abuse Survivor trying to get back on track
Hi all, happy new year.
This is a difficult thing to write, but I believe it’s finally time to ask for help. I am really struggling. I always wanted to be able to crawl out of this hole on my own, but I’m starting to believe that is just not possible in this lifetime.
I was involved in a very long-term domestic abuse relationship, which I finally managed to break free from after a lot of trauma. I won’t get into the gory details, but the abuse was physical (all kinds), psychological and verbal (all kinds), financial, coercive control, and abuse of power/position.
Unfortunately, this person ran up a lot of debt in my name without my consent as an exhibition of control, which I have been trying to pay off for some time. I work upwards of 60 hours a week just to pay my bills, and unfortunately, this is no longer sustainable. I had to quit my master’s degree due to the financial hardship I was already contending with, and I am now at a complete loss on what to do because I cannot afford to pay my bills as well as the debt this person has left. I can no longer afford the trauma therapy I require to continue my recovery from PTSD; however, if I can clear some of this financial burden, I would like to save up again to return to therapy once the more pressing bills are covered.
I was trying to recover from this on my own, but after several further hardships created by this person due to their position, I have finally reached a breaking point.
The total amount of debt that I need to pay off is £30,000 in order to be able to clear what they left, and start with a clean slate.
This month, however, the total amount I need to cover my bills is £1000.
I know this is a lot to ask for, and I do so with a heavy heart. I do not wish to burden anyone else with this, and I am only asking for help if it is within your means and you feel comfortable doing so.
I would be so, so grateful for any amount towards my bills for the month and will endeavour to pay forward any kindness when or if I eventually find myself in a position to do so.
If I can pay off the debt left behind by this person, I will endeavour to save up within my means and complete my master’s so I can pay it forward by helping other victims of domestic violence and abuse in the future.
Thank you once again if you can help or choose to do so. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

I’ve had many “this is the worst year of my life” years, but this one truly is the worst.
2025 started off with a car crash Jan 6th and from there the hits kept coming. I am a single mother to a 7 year old red headed, polish Puerto Rican Italian. Yes I am screwed. All I want is to give her the world, but that’s hard when I compete with my ex and his family and I suffer with alcohol and drug addiction. I am currently in recovery and have been for almost 4 years. In January after my car accident my cousin who I had been helping with substance abuse decided to go to rehab in Florida, he called me, we cried and he thanked me for his help. In march he was found dead in his apartment having drank himself into a state, covered in bruises and his own waste. In may we lost my uncle to the same disease. Checks were donated to AA in their memory and were given to me, a woman claimed from their I stole her identity. With all the proof I had to show the check was given to AA the police charges she filled against me were dropped, but being that I worked in finance and the woman banks where I worked I was investigated for fraud and ultimately fired from my well paying job in September. In November I was served eviction papers right after my daughter 7th birthday in a home rent and got sober in. The week before Christmas I went to buy myself and daughter a dog through a Facebook group with many followers and content and was scammed out of 1200$. Making Christmas even more stressful, today my car was repossessed and the debt charged off because I am unable to pay. Having lost my mother when I was 11 and my father an alcoholic, I did not have many great examples of what being an adult entailed. I have known more grief than many will ever yet all of this loss this year and stress has officially broken me. I have no where to turn to and no company that will approve a loan based on my credit, so I’m begging, pleading for anyone out there to help this 38 year old single mother get back on her feet before they walk a different path. I’m looking for roughy 25,000 – 18k to lay the charge off amount, the remainder to find a new home suitable for my daughter and myself. Thank you. I have linked my Venmo below as well as cash app.

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.
Please help me help Lumi: Saving my cat from pain
My Story: Hi everyone, I am reaching out because I have reached a point where hard work alone is no longer enough. I urgently need support to protect the living being I love most.
Please help me help Lumi My rescue cat, Lumi, is turning 7 soon. She had a traumatic start in life – she was abandoned – but since she came to me, she has blossomed into a loving, playful soul. She saved me in many ways, and now I need to save her.
Lumi urgently needs dental surgery. Her teeth are inflamed, and while cats are masters at hiding pain, I know she is suffering. The estimated cost for this operation is €1,000. It breaks my heart daily to see her discomfort. I want to book this surgery immediately to take her pain away, but I simply do not have the funds available right now.
The Financial Trap You might wonder why I cannot afford this. 5 years ago, my fiancée and I moved from Finland to Austria for a fresh start. We arrived in early 2020, straight into the first COVID lockdown. Our plans collapsed. To survive and finance our start without income, I heavily overdrafted my Finnish bank account.
For five years, I have been paying this off monthly without fail. I work hard and try to earn extra wherever I can. But with rising inflation, rent increases, and year-end bills, I am hitting a wall. I still carry €4,000 in debt from that time. This debt is a massive psychological burden that affects our daily life and relationship, leaving no room for emergencies like Lumi’s surgery.
How you can help I am asking for financial support to cover these two burdens:
-
€1,000 for Lumi’s dental surgery (This is my absolute top priority so she can be pain-free).
-
€4,000 to clear the remaining debt, so we can finally close this painful chapter of the last 5 years.
Please help me help Lumi. I just want her to be happy and healthy again, and for us to finally lift this mental weight off our shoulders. Any donation, no matter how small, means the world to us. paypal.me/Dimitri1175
Thank you for your kindness and for your help.
Words can not express, how much this means to me.
My life is spiraling down. Just need a break
This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write.
My car broke down, and shortly after, I lost my job. I live in the woods with no transportation, no family support, and very limited resources. I’m on unemployment now, but it’s not enough to survive, and I’m four months behind on rent.
I’ve never been unemployed before, and I’m a hard worker who wants to get back to work — but without a car and with mounting bills, I’m stuck.
I’m asking for help to stop this situation from getting worse. Donations will go toward rent, car repairs, and basic living expenses while I work to get back on my feet.
If you can help or share, I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Medical Emergency Situation
Thank you for taking the time to read my healing/awakening story of hope & faith.
I am a highly sensitive person (HSP) who is very intuitively empathic. I have two cats and I am a huge animal lover. I volunteer as a dog walker whenever I can at animal shelters. I have worked as a pet sitter/organizational cleaner and used that work to help me though my healing journey.
I have been on a spiritual awakening path for the past 7 years, releasing lots of unhealed childhood trauma from decades of mental, verbal, physical & sexual abuse.
In the beginning of my journey I began unknowingly dating a conman who stole all my accounts (bank, social media, etc & hacked into all my electronics and email addresses). Seven months into dating him, I realized I was being scammed/conned called a Romance Scam.
When I broke it off with him, he attempted to kill me in a car accident, totaled my car and broke my humerus in my right arm, leaving me for dead. He was facing a felony charge for the attempt on my life. He began to gang stalk me to scare me from testify in court (as he was facing a felony vehicular assault).
He tried to human traffic me for the next 2 1/2 years.. I moved 12 times in 3 years to elude him and his group of gang stalkers all by myself (and my 2 fur babies). It took three years to finally escape that daily horror.
However, once I did finally find a safe place to begin healing (on the top of a mountain), I was able to begin my trauma therapy with a therapist who worked with me in EMDR therapy, 2 times a week daily, for the next 6 years.
I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD (CPTSD). As a student educating myself to become an intuitive holistic energy healer I have added in other healing modalities such as breathe work, sound therapy, animal therapy, art therapy, empathic intuitive childhood trauma release therapy as well as reiki and others.
My goal through this awakening/spiritual healing journey is to heal myself so that I can help others heal from karmic narcissistic abusive family dynamics. Eventually open up a wellness retreat center for abuse victims to not only heal, but have a safe place to go.
About 5 years into my journey, I began to get really sick and was diagnosed with Mold/Mycotoxin Exposure & SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) as well as 10 kidney stones and mild fatty liver. The house I was living in after the first two years of my healing was infested with toxic mold and both my cats & I got really sick.
After being medically gas lit by 19 specialists in western medicine, I was finally instructed to go to an immune doctor who was able to give me proper testing and found out that I had Mold/Mycotoxin Exposure and SIBO. I was dealing with systemic inflammation that was breaking down all my organs very quickly.
This began my next 8 moves in 1 1/2 years. Each house I escaped toxic mold only to move into another house that had more toxic mold. I wanted to get a functional doctor to support my healing, but I was spending all my money trying to save my cats so was not able to afford my own functional doctor at that time.
Due to many hours of research (I was personally clocking) to learn how to heal my body and my cats bodies, I was running out of money. It was going out faster than it could come in and I was getting more and more sick.
By the third mold house, my cats little bodies could not handle that much toxicity from the mold. So at 19 years, I lost my girls. They were all I had left. I was forced to throw away everything from the mold homes because it was infested with mold spores and keeping me sick.
For the next year I continued to move 5 more times without my girls, getting better and then getting sick again, as each home was infested with toxic mold.
I had been doing the healing journey for up to 6 years at that point all on my own without any family or friends. I was exhausted, still sick and out of money.
My dad had passed away two years previous to him coming to me in my dream. About a year ago, my dad came to me in a dream and I felt an urgent need to reach out to my family to go back and begin healing with them. I hoping I was going to be strong enough to be around them and not allow them to trigger me backwards in my healing.
I decided to go back home and live with my mom to receive support in my healing. I was needing emotional support so desperately at that point. I was craving a human to just give me a hug and tell me everything was going to be ok. I was also needing help financially as I was living pay check to pay check. Since working was becoming more and more difficult due to being so sick.
My mom was in another state at the time, as she was just beginning retirement. I found out she was also dating someone only a year after my dad transitioned.
So, instead of going home to my childhood home, she asked me to be with her and her new boyfriend in this southern state for 5 months and then we would return to my home state.
I found out quickly that my mom had been telling lies about me my whole life, and creating a false narrative to my whole family and all my friends back home. I was informed that she was an undiagnosed Bi-Polar and an undiagnosed narcissist. I was also feeling unsure about her boyfriend because he seemed to be scamming her. So there was a lot of chaos that I was unknowingly walking into.
The boyfriend was triggering me, as I could see right through him. When I attempted to speak to her about this, she called the cops on me on my birthday and kicked me out of the fifth wheel camper. Again, I was in a state I knew no one and was down to my last $500. I was forced to stay in a shady motel that night.
There was a man from the 50+ Senior Park who offered me a free flight back to my home state, because he lived there too. My mom banned me from going back to my childhood home, so I had no place to go once back in my home state. To make things worse, not one of my family members would help me or take me in, due to the false narrative my mom had been telling everyone about me.
I began living with this stranger for 5 days. However, he attempted to rape me, so I had to leave in the middle of a very cold winter (negative weather temps). Now my brother and sister in law were forced to take me in. I say forced, because they were under the illusion of my mom’s lies about me. ( I do have a sister, but she will not speak to me for unknown reasons. Again due to my moms lies. I feel like I walked into a Twilight Zone nightmare. )
I began the slow re-building process, as I was still healing from mycotoxin exposure. My moms 5th wheel was also infested with toxic mold, so I became more sick by going down to see her. I continued to get more physically sick day by day. Also, I had more trauma to heal after realizing the truth of who my toxic family really was and all the obstacles they had intentionally been placing in my path.
Three months to the day of living with my brother and sister in-law they kicked me out of their house for more lies that my family was speaking about me and that they listened to. This was devastating, because I was close with my brother growing up. I was feeling the ultimate betrayal from all my family members, as I just wanted to be loved. Realizing that the universe sent me away from them to heal initially because they were so dysfunctional and toxic. All these decades I was unaware of how dysfunctional there were. So, April 25th, 2025 I had formally emancipate myself from my whole family, not because I wanted to, rather for survival.
I was once again without a place to stay in the early spring time of 2025 and I prayed and I prayed and I prayed to have the universe send me an angel; to help me. That is exactly what happened. I walked into a church and a pastor said he had a place for me to stay for free for a couple of months while I get back on my feet and get some income saved. I was only able to get a job that would give me 25 hours of work. (as I do have pet/house sitting experience & organizational cleaning experience, but was unable to get any work in this new city.)
I was still trying to re-balance my immune system, so was still very sick. Also the stress of this job was making me even more sick as it was flaring up my already chaotic nervous system. I was having a hard time working that much, even though it wasn’t that much. Being around all the energies of the customers was too much for my sensitive body and nervous system. Also, one of my co-workers was an a trigger as she was just like my mom.
I had to keep working because I had no choice, being all by myself with no one to support me. However, I could feel my body getting getting more and more weak as the days went on. Once again, doctors were not able to help me. This began another round of being medically gas lit.
About a month a half ago, I got so sick with a temperature of 101 degrees. I was not able to go into work & have not been able to work since. I have had a temperature everyday for a month and a half. My immune system is failing and I am dealing with more systemic inflammation as well as HIGH IRON levels, low sodium and mild fatty liver. (these test results just came back on Xmas eve)
I was pay check to pay check before I had to stop working. So, I have reached out to the state for assistance, but the doctors don’t want to provide the proper documentation to help me get that support since we don’t have a formal diagnoses in this state.
Now I am down to my last $100 needing clean healthy food for my immune system and herbs and supplements to help me heal as well as money to be able to get the proper functional medicine testing done so that we can figure out how to help my body begin to heal, rent, & phone bill.
I do not have a vehicle yet, so I have to walk everywhere and I do not have the energy anymore to even go get my groceries and water.
I was not able to pay rent for the month of December. I am not sure how much longer I will be allowed to stay here without paying rent. I just had to ask him for help with groceries, but I can tell he does not have much more to give. He has already given me a total of 3 months of free rent. I have never been in this situation, so I feel so helpless.
Everyday I just get more and more sick and I am barely able to get out of bed for very long each day. I have no one to help me. I am no longer able to pay the pastor/my landlord his rent and I am running out things to survive.
I found this site and figured I could try to see if there are kind people in this world that have money to donate & help me get better & back on my feet. I want to be able to heal and support others in their healing journey. As that is my goal, is to help others in this type of situation.
I guess I needed to experience it first, before I was allowed to help others. I am scared I am going to be homeless and am scared to loose the cats that I have been taking care of in his house. As they were here all by themselves and they too were getting sick, because he didn’t have time to properly take care of them. They were in one room that was dirty with only a cat tree to sit/lay on. Since I have been here for the past 8 months, I have helped them heal and thrive. I told him, that I would adopt them, when I am able to leave and find my own place.
Any help would be so appreciated! Thank you for your time and I send my love, light, peace & gratitude!

Reclaim, Reuse, Re-Treasure
I’m the founder of a newly formed LLC in Illinois, a recycling and repurposing business born from both necessity and legacy.
My father, Frank, spent his life hunting for treasures in what most people called “junk.” He dove into dumpsters, combed parking lots for pennies, scoured auctions and estate sales, and filled shelves with glassware, curiosities, and broken bits with hidden beauty. As a kid, I used to cringe, embarrassed by his oddities. But after he passed—and after walking through some of the darkest times of my life—I finally understood what he saw: possibility. I inherited a few old trailers he left behind and my initial plan was to scrap them out. But as I began sorting the contents, I realized they were full of his treasures—vintage glassware-depression glass, carnival glass, milk glass, art glass-as well as antique tools, old vintage chainsaws, countless collectible items and repurposable materials, old computers and electronics, a very old jukebox, and the coolest pharmaceutical triple beam scales from the late 1930’s. Turns out my dad was far more knowledgeable and interesting than I ever gave him credit for and I wish he would have been here still to see the transformation I underwent out in those trailers.
That’s when I inherited the passion for treasures and this idea was born—not just as a business, but as a mission to honor his spirit: a spirit to rescue, restore, and rehome discarded objects.
Every year, the U.S. sends over 146 million tons of waste to landfills. According to a study done by the EPA, 75% of waste in the US could be reused or recycled. Furniture, textiles, glassware, electronics, and clothing often end up buried instead of reborn. If even small community projects like mine diverted just .01% of that waste, we could keep 14,600 tons of usable material out of landfills each year—reducing emissions, saving energy, and creating local jobs.
That’s what I’m trying to do here in Illinois.
My goal is to create a local reuse and recycling hub that:
- Sorts and cleans usable goods saved from the landfill
- Refurbishes items to original condition (or close to it)
- Creates jobs with profit sharing
- Sells reusable items locally and online
- Recycles recyclable materials (metals, precious metals, electronics, aluminum, plastic, glass, cardboard and compost) at local recycling centers and scrapyards.
- Offers pickups for unwanted but usable items
- Donates time, materials and money toward educating the public about waste and creating a circular economy
- Gives back to the community. We have committed to donating 10% of our e-commerce sales. Once our business is stable, we will raise that percentage.
- Aims to standardize a circular economy system
- Create a community compost garden where locals can bring compostables in exchange for fresh veggies, fresh herbs, or quality potting soil.
- Inspires others to rethink what they throw away
- Makes trash look good ;)
I’ve registered my business with the state already, but I’m seeking donations to help cover essential startup costs such as vehicle maintenance, sorting materials, cleaning equipment, tools, personal protective equipment, gasoline, and essential marketing materials—The market is huge. And ripe. Startup money could put us ahead years, at the forefront of a movement that will eventually become the global standard.
Even a small contribution helps move this mission forward.
This isn’t just a business; it’s a legacy—for my dad, Frank, and for everyone who ever saw something beautiful in the broken.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and believing in second chances—for materials, for people, and for the planet.

Help a Family Fighting to Keep Their Medically Fragile Son Safe
We live in northern Canada, six hours from the nearest children’s hospital. Our son Skye was born with complex heart defects—a hole in his heart and constricted arteries—as well as Klinefelter syndrome. Without open heart surgery at five months old, he wouldn’t have survived.
I’m sharing our story because we’re in crisis, and I’ve run out of options.
My wife and I are both in recovery—I’m a recovering alcoholic, and we’ve both struggled with methamphetamine addiction. We’re fighting every day to stay clean and be the parents our six children need. Our kids range from 2 to 17 years old, and we’re a blended, mixed-race family doing our best in difficult circumstances.
My wife was born with FASD and requires assistance caring for our children. Our 17-year-old stepdaughter struggles with self-harm and cuts when she’s stressed. Our 9-year-old son has speech and learning impairments. And Skye, now a hyperactive toddler with a fragile heart, needs regular cardiology appointments we can no longer afford to get to.
Before Skye was born, I worked full time and supported my family. Since then, his monthly medical appointments have made steady employment nearly impossible. I’ve tried working night shifts to balance family responsibilities, going without sleep on work days. Exhaustion leads to poor performance, and understanding employers who once accommodated me have understandably moved on.
My low income put me behind on child support for my oldest child, and MEP (Maintenance Enforcement Program) has locked me out of government registries and taken my driver’s license. This has created a devastating cycle: without registry access, I can’t apply for Skye’s treaty status. Without his treaty status, we lost his Non-Insured Health Benefits when he turned two. And without transportation, getting him to appointments six hours away has become impossible.
We’ve already missed two cardiology appointments we couldn’t afford to get to. Skye is hyperactive, making the six-hour drive challenging even in a personal vehicle. Taking a bus isn’t an option—the stress and his heart condition make it unthinkable.
I’m currently retraining myself in digital skills so I can eventually work from home. With financial help, I could use the 20-30 hours a week I’d spend at night jobs to study instead, building a sustainable future for my family.
I’ve always been too proud to ask for help, but my children need me to put that pride aside. If you have even a dollar to spare, I would be deeply grateful. But please, only if it doesn’t take away from your own family’s needs.
I believe in paying it forward. Any help we receive now is help my family will provide to someone else when we’re able.
Please donate to paypal.me/shawnhinson141
I am forever humbled and grateful for any help.
Thank you for reading our story and considering helping us.
