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.

Christian Parents of 3 College Students in a Financial Mess – Praying for Help

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to humbly request consideration for financial assistance during a time of significant hardship for our family.

Recently, we have experienced several financial challenges that have made it difficult to keep up with our basic obligations. Our electric and gas utilities are currently at risk of disconnection due to outstanding balances, and we are currently two months behind on our car payment.

A major contributing factor has been a rental property we own. Our current tenant has not paid rent and now owes approximately $7,000. We have made the difficult decision not to renew the lease when it ends on April 30, 2026. In the meantime, we have also had to cover utility expenses for the property, which has added to our financial strain.

At the same time, we are supporting three young adult children who are all full time college students. While two of them are working, they are managing their own financial responsibilities, including car payments which are necessary for them to commute, they do not support our bills. Our third child serves as a resident assistant (RA) at her college, which provides for housing but does not include income for daily expenses, so we assist her with necessities such as food and gas. She has not extra time for an additional job to earn money.

Additionally, we have faced several unexpected home and car repairs, which have further limited our ability to stay current on essential bills like gas and electric. In working to manage these expenses, we have depleted much of our savings in an effort to stay afloat. Our expenses/debts outweigh our income.

We have reached out to our utility companies to request assistance; however, we were informed that our income exceeds their qualification limits. Unfortunately, these determinations do not take into account the full scope of our financial obligations, including significant debt, ongoing hardships, and the responsibility of supporting three children in college.

We owe:
Electric = $2,513.65
Gas = $3,890.36
Capital One Auto = $1,140.90

In the past, our fathers were able to help us during difficult seasons, but both have passed away within the last two years. RJ, has also retired due to health issues, which has reduced our household income.

We are Christians who regularly attend church. This situation has impacted our ability to tithe consistently, which weighs heavily on our hearts. We know the importance of putting God first in our finances, and we remain committed to returning to faithful tithing and giving over to help others in need.  We would like to donate to others on this site rather than be requestors.

We did make a benevolence request to our church.  They told us they usually give $100 or $500 so our request is much larger than what they give.

We are doing everything we can to stabilize our situation and move forward in a healthy financial position. We are standing in faith, trusting that God is our provider and that He will help us overcome this temporary season. It is truly our desire to not only recover, but to one day return to a position to bless others and give generously, just as we have been blessed.

We would be deeply grateful for any assistance  you are able to provide during this time. Thank you for your consideration.

After 10+ Years Without Teeth, I Just Want to Smile Again.

I haven’t had teeth in over 10+ years. I avoid mirrors, hide my smile, and struggle just to eat. I’ve saved $15,000 on my own — but I can’t finish this without help.

Dear Kind-hearted Donors,

My name is Tamilynn and I am a 64-year-old woman who is facing a challenge that has deeply affected my life. I am reaching out today because I desperately need your help in getting dental implants, a procedure that could transform not only my appearance, but my ability to live a normal, healthy life.

For many years, I have struggled with severe dental issues that eventually led to the complete loss of my teeth. What most people take for granted — simply eating a meal — has become painful and frustrating. I can no longer enjoy the foods I once loved, and even soft foods can be difficult at times. Smiling, which used to come naturally, is now something I avoid. I often hide my face, avoid mirrors, and withdraw from social situations because of the embarrassment I feel

This has affected more than just my physical health. It has taken a deep emotional toll on me.There is a quiet loneliness that comes from feeling like you have to hide yourself from the world. I miss laughing freely, smiling without thinking, and simply feeling comfortable being seen.

Dental implants are not a cosmetic luxury for me — they are a necessity. They would allow me to eat properly again, improve my health, speak clearly, and restore my confidence and dignity. They would truly give me my life back.

Unfortunately, I live on a fixed income, and this life-changing procedure is far beyond what I can afford. I have spent years saying and have managed to set aside $15,000, but I still have a long way to go. I have explored every option available to me, but nothing has been enough to make this possible on my own.

My total goal is $45,000, and I already got off to a good start thanks to years of saving. With your help, I truly believe this is possible.

I’m not getting any younger, and I would love the chance to enjoy life again while I still can.

If you are able to give — even a few dollars — it would mean more to me than I can ever express. Every donation brings me one step closer to being able to smile again without fear or shame.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness, compassion, and generosity truly have the power to change my life.

With deepest gratitude,
Tamilynn
