Help send my Girl to College!

Hello there,

I am a single mom of a beautiful 18 year old girl. Its been just her and me since she was 9 months old when her father walked out on us and never looked back. The fact that we have made it here is an amazing accomplishment for us. There were many times I wasn’t sure we were going to make it. I’ve worked up to 4 jobs at once to try to make a life for us. I’ve done everything I possibly can for her. Last year in 2023 when she graduated high school I was overwhelmed with joy. The accomplishments we have made and the obstacles we have overcome to reach this point is crazy to think about. So now here we are and she wants to go to college for professional filmmaking. She is super talented in that department. She has won medals in our province here in Canada for her talents. I am so incredibly proud of her and the person she has become. She is not your typical teenager. She doesn’t drink or do drugs. She does not like to party. She has been working full time since graduation trying to make enough to fund her education. I have been doing the same. Stressing about how I can make this work. At this point I am desperate. Which has led me to writing this story. This girl deserves to be able to follow her dreams. I want more for her than having to work 4 jobs to make a life for herself. With the way Canada is going I’m not sure she has any hope to ever own her own home and live comfortably. We are going to be applying for a student loan but I don’t want her thousands of dollars in debt to do so. I am hoping for any little bit of help to get her through this program. I appreciate all of you reading my story and wish you all the health and happiness in the world!

Sincerely,

A mother trying to help my daughter make a life for herself

Anything will help!

Hello

I am a mother to 4 children ranging from 1 year old to 8 years old. I have found myself in a very difficult series of events. I am days away from losing my home, had my car totaled a few weeks ago and just lost my job. I am actively apply for work and have tried multiple avenues to get financial assistance but nothing has come through yesterday. I am suffering from crippling anxiety on a daily basis and just need to get out of this situation for my children. I am currently in need of $24,012.80 to get out of the hole I’m in. I know the amount seems daunting (well at least to me) but I am grateful for any little bit of support I can get. I thank you from the bottom of my heart in advance for any support, prayer or guidance you can provide. I have always been someone to help those in need and rest assured I will be on this website in the future to help others like me once I’m back on my feet.

With all my gratitude,

Anne

Looking to pay off old bills to start business✨️

First, thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’m reaching out today because I”m in a very difficult but transitional stage of my life… not asking for a handout to cover luxuries or unnecessary expenses.

I’m asking for help so I can finally move forward with my life, focus on building a future, and stop living paycheck to paycheck from endless gig jobs.

Right now, I’m weighed down by old bills that I simply cannot escape. These include past due utilities, credit cards used to survive during hard times, and basic living expenses that piled up when my freelance gigs weren’t enough to cover everything. No matter how many hours I work, it feels like I am just treading water, and the burden is crushing. Every dollar I make is immediately eaten up by minimum payments, late fees, and trying to keep a roof over my head.

At the same time, I have a very real plan for a better future. I have developed three strong business ideas that I am ready to fully launch, but I can’t do it if I am stuck chasing gig work every day just to survive. These businesses are not “get rich quick” schemes; they are realistic, professional ventures that I have researched extensively. I know they can succeed because they are built around real needs and services, like real estate investing and a non profit to help struggling families find a second chance in life to have a decent shelter and beyond basics.

However, to get started properly, I urgently need several important software tools; things like website hosting, design programs, CRM platforms, and project management software. These are not luxuries. Without them, it’s impossible to operate professionally and competitively. I have already built out much of the planning, branding, and structure, but without the proper tools, I’m stalled at the starting line.

Your donation would go directly toward two things: paying off the most pressing debts that are draining my income, paying the rent off for the rest of the year and purchasing the essential software and resources that will allow me to dedicate myself full-time to building my businesses. Once that happens, I can stop spending all my time chasing short-term gigs and instead create something lasting  something that can support me, create value for others, and pay your generosity forward.

I am committed to succeeding. I just need a real chance, a clean slate to start from. Even the smallest donation would make a huge difference in helping me break free and build the future I know I am capable of.

Thank you for considering helping me take this critical step.

Respectfully,

GA

Army Veteran Husband disabled…. loosing everything

Hello

I am asking for help to get at the very least caught up on our main bills …. mortgage, lot rent, utilities and car payments. My husband, who is an Army Veteran has been disabled for the past couple years now. When everything started, I was able to work and with his disability payments, we were able to pay what we needed. Since then, I have had to become a stay at home care giver for him. He had a stroke on March 11 2025. I am doing as much as I possibly can to try to pay all our bills but living on his small disability check just isn’t enough. I try to work side jobs when I can. We are now $1300 behind on the mortgage, $567 behind on lot rent, $375 behind on utilities and $3600 behind on the car. We have until May 15th to get caught up on the mortgage and lot rent. Utilities will be shut off on May 9 and the car will be repoed at anytime.

 

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Urgent Assistance Needed: Help Us Move Forward

Help Us Overcome Multiple Crises

To the kind-hearted friends we haven’t met,

We find ourselves in some challenging situations that have depleted our savings and left us in urgent need of support. We are reaching out to you to share our story and seek your help during these unexpected crises.

 

Wham & Bam!! This Is Our Story

Over the past several months, we have faced a series of unforeseen events that have significantly impacted our financial stability.  This all seems like a bad dream that we haven’t yet woke up from.

  1. Unemployment Due to Medical Surgeries: One of us underwent major medical surgeries that required an extended recovery period. This not only led to a loss of income during the recovery but also resulted in additional costs that were not fully covered by insurance. The stress of managing health issues while worrying about finances has been overwhelming.
  1. Caring for an Elderly Parent: Adding to that, an elderly parent was placed into our care after being discharged from a long hospital stay of their own when insurance wouldn’t cover a rehabilitation facility. While we are grateful that the grandparent of the house is safe and has a medical plan in place, this transition has added considerable costs to our monthly bills, including increased utility expenses (Whew!!), groceries, and travel costs to/from out of county specialty care, and all during a time when we just took on a mortgage for the first time.
  1. Vehicle Breakdowns: To compound our difficulties, both of our vehicles broke down unexpectedly within weeks of each other.  We’ve managed enough repairs to drive one vehicle around locally.  That at least lets us get our kids to school and back (school bus is not an option for 2 of our kids who attend in a different district), but there’s no way we can afford the $$$ to make the other vehicle operational again.  The repairs needed are in the thousands (which honestly is more than the car is worth now), and without reliable transportation, it has become increasingly difficult for us to manage daily responsibilities or attend some of our family’s medical appointments.  Considering the situation, we’re not in a financial position to take on another monthly payment that a new vehicle or vehicles would require even though that’s probably the easiest solution.

Why We Need Your Help

These combined challenges have created a financial storm that we can’t manage alone. Our savings have been exhausted, and we’re doing everything we can to prioritize our new mortgage.   We are now facing the possibility of falling behind on essential bills if we do not receive assistance soon such as utilities, property taxes, and credit card payments that we have used to cover our needs before reaching out for help.  I know we have always told people who we’ve helped that there’s no need to be embarrassed to ask because everyone needs somebody sometime.  I think we’ve done everything we can.  Our time to need somebody is now.

Every contribution will make a huge difference in helping us regain stability during this difficult time so that we can get back on track and have what our family needs to keep going.  We understand that times are tough for many people right now.  We don’t want to take away from anybody who is also in need.  Any amount you can contribute would be immensely appreciated!!

How You Can Help

If you are able to help us move past this set of unfortunate circumstances, THANK YOU won’t even begin to express our gratitude for helping us move past this crazy time!!

  1. Donate: Every amount helps!
  2. Share: Please share this campaign with people you know– spreading the word is just as valuable as financial generosity.
  3. Support: If you have any advice or resources that could assist us during this time, we welcome your input.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and considering helping us get through this challenging moment. Your kindness means the world to us!!

With gratitude,

The Woodson Family  & Grandpa

Building a Life From the Ground Up

Hey friend,

My name is Kateryna. I was born in Kherson, Ukraine. At the age of 18, I was forced to leave my hometown due to the outbreak of full-scale war. Since then, my life has become a journey of searching for safety — moving from city to city, from country to country, in search of shelter and peace.

At 20, I moved to Switzerland on my own. I went through refugee camps, overcoming barriers of fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty. I didn’t take this path for comfort, but because I dreamed of starting over — of having stability, education, and a future where I could stand on my own feet and help others. Especially my parents, who remained in Ukraine and are unable to support me financially (which is completely understandable!).

Today, I have been living in Switzerland for almost 2 years and trying to build my life independently. Live with the effort, resilience, and faith. Yet the challenges remain. Monthly costs for medical bills, housing, dental care, and essential appliances and household needs kind of all fall on me. Still I am trying to save for future education in Switzerland and for obtaining a driver’s license — both of which are important for mobility and further opportunities.

I’ve set a goal to save 50,000 Swiss francs, even though this amount feels unrealistic and out of reach for me. Behind this dream is the hope of covering all essential expenses, beginning to save for the future, and — extremely important — being able to support my family.

I am not asking or expecting anything in particular — I am just sharing my story with those who might respond. I have a dream in my heart to be a person who gives generously and wisely. And in order to give, I first need to stand.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. If my story resonates with you, your support — in any form — would be a true blessing.

I’m indescribable grateful,

Kateryna (or simply Katya :))

Locked my keys out of car

  1. Hello, I work 40 hours a week and live in California, rent is so high and I have been struggling. I’m not asking for much, but today I was exhausted after work, didn’t think twice and for the first time after 14 years of driving the same car… I accidentally locked my keys inside. I didn’t know what to do, so I called a locksmith. They didn’t day anything about how much or what, so I trusted it’d be reasonable. It ended up being $355 and it was SO MUCH for me, rent is due in a few days and that’s what I was going to use it towards. I have a photo of the receipt the man wrote me. I would just like help getting that back so I may use it for rent, please. Thank you for reading.

LEGAL FEE’S

Hello, & God Bless. Thank you, for taking the time to understand what I am going through.
I have paid. $4,500. That was the deposit/The retainer, to obtain legal services.
My remaining balance for further representation is $5,500. DUE ASAP
Please, I can’t manage on my own.
It’s $5,500 the difference between today and my future. I stand to loose it all, in just a week.

Today, I request assistance, please. Because, I’m facing a significant legal challenge and it  has become an unavoidable reality, demanding immediate and substantial financial resources. This situation has arisen unexpectedly and carries profound implications for my future well-being, reputation, and financial stability. To navigate this complex legal landscape effectively and secure the best possible outcome, retaining experienced legal counsel is not just advisable—it is absolutely essential.
The intricacies of the legal system are daunting, and attempting to represent myself would be a disservice to my case, potentially leading to severe and long-lasting negative consequences. Expert legal representation provides the necessary knowledge of relevant laws, procedural rules, and strategic approaches required to build a strong defense or pursue a just resolution. Their guidance will be crucial in gathering and presenting evidence, cross-examining witnesses, and articulating complex legal arguments persuasively.
The legal fees associated with this representation, including retainers, court filings, investigation costs, and expert witness fees, represent a significant financial burden that I am currently unable to meet through my immediate savings or income. While I am actively exploring all available options and intend to contribute financially to the extent possible, the upfront costs are substantial and time-sensitive. Delaying proper legal representation due to a lack of funds could severely jeopardize my case and its potential outcome.
Borrowing funds at this critical juncture will allow me to secure the necessary legal expertise without delay. This proactive step will ensure that my rights are protected, and my case is handled with the utmost professionalism and diligence. It will provide me with the peace of mind that comes from knowing I have skilled advocates working on my behalf, allowing me to focus on navigating the emotional and practical challenges of this situation.
I understand the responsibility that comes with borrowing money and am committed to repaying the loan according to the agreed-upon terms. I have carefully considered my financial situation and am confident in my ability to manage the repayments. This temporary financial support will be an invaluable investment in securing a positive resolution to this legal matter, ultimately safeguarding my future and preventing potentially far greater financial and personal costs down the line. In essence, borrowing $5,500 is not merely a matter of convenience but a crucial step in ensuring a fair and just outcome in a situation with significant and lasting consequences.
Thank you, in advance. (Proof of service available upon request.)

My Story: A Mother, A Survivor, A Cycle Breaker

My name is Dawnell, and I’m a single mother doing everything I can to rewrite the story I was born into. I have three beautiful children—ages 12, 9, and 5—who are my whole world. Every day, I fight to give them the stability and love I never had.

When I was just three years old, my mother was killed in a car accident. My father, an alcoholic, was never able to be present in my life, so I was raised by my grandparents. I grew up searching for love in all the wrong places, hoping to fill a void that loss and abandonment left behind. That search led me down dark paths—abusive relationships, addiction, and years of feeling like I wasn’t enough.

But seven years ago, I chose a different road. I got sober. I walked away from the chaos. And I started to rebuild.

Most recently, I escaped an abusive relationship. It was terrifying. I left with nothing but my kids and my courage. I worked hard, saved every penny, and finally bought our very first home in a small town—somewhere I hoped would be a safe and wholesome place to raise my children. I wanted to give them everything I didn’t have: roots, warmth, security.

But just one day after I closed on our home, my older sister—my best friend, my rock—was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver and killed. The grief shattered me. She was the only family I had left. The emotional toll, paired with the financial burden of unexpected expenses, sent me spiraling. I’ve since been diagnosed with PTSD from the trauma of her loss.

Now, I am drowning in debt I can’t climb out of. I’m behind on everything—utilities, mortgage, basic needs. Foreclosure notices have started to arrive. I feel like I’m watching everything I’ve worked for slowly slip away, and I’m terrified. Not for myself—but for my children.

I don’t want pity. I’m not asking for handouts out of laziness or irresponsibility. I am asking for help because I’m a mother who refuses to give up. Because I’ve fought for every inch of progress I’ve made. Because I dream of being a voice for other women and young girls who have endured trauma and abuse—proof that pain doesn’t have to be permanent.

I want to be a cycle breaker. A supermom. A safe place. An example of what’s possible when you don’t give up—even when the world tells you to.

Please, if you feel moved by my story, consider helping me get back on my feet. Any support you can offer will go toward catching up on essential bills, keeping our home, and giving my kids the future they deserve.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

— Dawnell 💛

I have been taking care of us for so long, one last month and we’re out

Hello, I am 26 years old and I’ve been taking care of my girlfriend and our cat basically alone for almost a year. The lease on our apartment ends very soon, and I’ve been doing everything i can to hold on until it’s officially over. After that, we’ll be moving into my family’s home to relieve the financial pressure I’ve been under for quite a while. Over the past year, things have become more difficult month by month. My girlfriend lost her job and hasn’t been able to work due to ongoing physical and mental health issues, and I’ve taken on all of our expenses on my own. That includes rent, car payments, insurance, utilities, food, transportation, and anything else that’s come up along the way. To keep up, I’ve had to rely more and more on credit. Each time I thought I had it figured out, another expense would come up. And now, as the final rent payment is here, the numbers just aren’t adding up. My next paycheck alone will not be enough to cover what’s due, and with the amount of debt already on my plate, I’m stretched beyond what I can manage. The final rent payment is $1200 and is due by May 1st. This will be the last one before we can start the process of moving out, and after that, there will be no more monthly rent to worry about. Just this one last hurdle. If there’s any way you’re able to help with that amount—or even part of it—it would go directly toward getting through this last month in one piece. Once we’re out of the lease and into my family’s place, the situation will shift and I’ll finally be able to start catching up on everything. Thank you for reading, and for any support or understanding you can offer.

A Little Help Goes a Long Way—Support a Mom Fighting to Stay Afloat

Life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect it. A few months ago, I was a financially stable mom—until I lost my job. Since then, I’ve been hustling nonstop, taking on tutoring gigs, cleaning jobs, and anything else I can find to keep the lights on and food on the table. But despite working harder than ever, I’m barely scraping by.

The stress of mounting bills and rising debt is crushing—not just for me, but for my child, who deserves security and peace of mind. I refuse to give up, but right now, I could really use some help.

If you’re able to spare even a few dollars, it would mean the world. Your kindness could help:

  • Keep a roof over our heads

  • Put food on the table

  • Ease the weight of debt and late fees

  • Give me breathing room to find stable work

I’m also open to advice—if you’ve been in a similar situation or know of resources that could help me manage finances, reduce debt, or find better opportunities, I’d be so grateful.

No one should have to fight this hard just to stay afloat. If you can help in any way, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And if you can’t right now, I completely understand—sharing this or sending good vibes means just as much.

Just a hand up

Hello everyone,

Just a bit of background about me. I grew up on the east coast of Canada, near the Atlantic ocean. I had a great childhood and then my Dad died when I was 12. My amazing mother is still alive. I’m in my 50’s now and I’ve been divorced for almost 11 years. It’s been a struggle but I’ve paid the support to my ex with very few hiccups. That is until the past almost 2 years.

I’ve never done anything like this before and I know most of if not all of you don’t know me. This is a last resort for me.

My situation is that I fell behind on payments to my ex wife for support money to pay half her mortgage payments every 2 weeks and I have fallen behind on some child support payments. I work 2 jobs currently and it’s just not enough.I have applied to several other jobs to try to get something better but to no avail. I’m not getting any invitations for interviews.

As a result I’ve missed almost 2 years of mortgage support payments,which is $194.35 bi-weekly,6 child support payments of $284 and I still have to pay for my half of braces for my youngest son, which is $1600 and so I owe my ex wife $12,438.45 as of now.This is over a almost 2 year period My ex has gotten a lawyer and wants all that money at once. I simply do not have it and none of my friends are able to help as they all have their own financial obligations to deal with.

So here I am asking total strangers for help. If you can in any way help I will appreciate it beyond words.

Thank you!

Don’t know where else to turn

I am at the end of my tether and I don’t know where else to turn.

To tell you a little bit about myself and my situation, I am a single mum to a beautiful baby boy, I work for the NHS and also have a second job working behind a bar on the weekends. I very rarely see my child, and I’m struggling to make ends meet and keep a roof over our heads. Childcare is crippling me, and I can’t afford to drop hours to look after him myself as I’m behind on my bills now. This morning I had a final notice through from a debt collector, with no means of paying the amount due.

My son’s father passed away when he was 4 months old, and I have no other family who can help.

I can’t believe I’m resorting to this, and I’m so ashamed to do it, but I genuinely don’t know what else to do. My PayPal.Me link is https://paypal.me/Sianny269?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB

Back up against a wall

Well where do I begin…last year I shared a house with an older couple and we lived in a house that was we rented that was falling apart. So we agreed to stop paying rent and we knew that eventually we would be evicted. Then my car broke down and it was a lot that needed to be done but I had no choice but fix it. So the couple ended up moving out before we was served an eviction. So while in the process of working, packing trying to fix my car my girlfriend took a trip to Florida with her mom to take care of some personal issues with her mom. She was there for about 3 maybe 4 weeks she was ready to come back home so I bought her a plane ticket for her to come back. While on the way to the airport once I got there I waited and waited looked for her checked terminals no site of her for 3 complete hours not one sign of her. Eventually I just went back home upset thinking that she lied to me about being on her flight. Talked to her mom she told me she had got on her flight back and that she should’ve been back. Well 2 days later I receive a text from someone that I didn’t know telling me that he had my girlfriend and that he was hired to kidnap her. i thought it was a joke and that she was playing games. Well this was a year ago and after her mom and me have paid almost 10,000 dollars we still haven’t seen her only talked to her on the phone. Well while dealing with that and still trying to finish my car during the summertime working in the heat being the heat working on my car and my house being extremely hot cause the electric got turned off I almost had a heat stroke and I got my eviction notice and already been to court so I was laid up for a week sick and lost my job.  So while packing my things and stayed with a friend the landlord decides he’s gonna empty out the house and set all my belongings outside right after I left that evening to go get a trailer for the next day to move my stuff. Oh forgot to mention when I almost had the heat stroke they was suppose to had showed up that day while I was packing my things. So it was obvious that I was going to remove my stuff so they set all of my clothes valuables and my studio equipment outside and almost everything u had got stolen and that was almost a year ago. By that being said it’s been a downhill struggle my music equipment was my second job and was going to be what I wanted to do as my main money maker but since I lost my job and no music equipment I have had no way to really make any money but survive off what I had saved and try to do what I can for my girlfriend and her mom. So I got a phone call from the guy that had kidnapped my girl saying that he wanted 2500 more dollars and he would bring her to me. Well I don’t have that and he gave me till the end of April to have the money or he was going to abandon here where she is being held at. I haven’t contacted the authorities this whole time cause of being afraid he would take her life cause he told me he would I barely got to tell her mom he didn’t want no one else knowing but I had no choice. I couldn’t live with myself not telling her and something happened. I don’t know what to do that’s why I’m here this is the first time I’ve said anything especially public like this it’s been very stressful
