Rent goes on and on.
My situation may be different than others, but the results are not uncommon. I am about to be 4 months behind on rent. I have lived here for 9 years, most of them have been easy to get everything paid on time. My landlord understands life and has not been hard to get along with. She has a good heart, but she also has bills to pay.
In early May of this year everything changed with my health and my finances. A visit to the Emergency Room set in motion many tests and procedures. I went through a major abdominal surgery and am now recovering from that before beginning chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.
I am past retirement age, live alone and receive Social Security. It does not cover my monthly expenses. I have applied for several jobs before this, but no luck. I did gig work until I couldn’t. Everything is behind now and I see nothing in the future to change that much. My first priority is to have a roof over my head, then I’ll work on the utilities.
The rental arrears total $2,500. And yes, that is a low number for 4 months rent. I need that before the end of September.
I’ll have to start some type work from home situation to support myself during the treatments. I have an idea, but that’s a different discussion.
My family and friends have been as much assistance as they could be. and it was greatly appreciated. But, they are living in the same economy we all are enduring.
I don’t like relying on others. Now it appears I have little choice. Asking strangers to help is a new thing and not what I ever intended to do. If anybody sees fit to donate t would be amazing and greatly appreciated. If not…I understand.
Thank you for reading this and considering the possibility of helping.

Help save my home
Hi. I am a single male living alone with two pets and have not been able to find work since December. It’s nearly December again, and I feel blessed to still have a home, but my landlord can only be so considerate before he resorts to evicting me. I feel he’s being so kind because he has kids who haven’t been able to find work either, but he also has bills to pay. I’m currently $8,125.91 past due on rent. I’ve managed to keep my lights on, using as little a/c and electricity as I can. I’m still actively looking for work, but I ultimately get rejection emails from the companies I apply or interview with. I once made my income from social media which became difficult once the COVID pandemic came and more people became influencers from having to stay at home in addition to algorithms deciding where content was distributed. I’m truly desperate and doing all I can to keep a home as I have no family support, and my best friend moved in with his family due to similar circumstances a few months ago. I’ve been a Homecare case worker, a call center real time analyst, and assistant manager in a restarting in the past, and I completed courses for medical office administration so I am qualified for work. I’m not certain what employers are seeking these days or if there’s just too many people applying to compete with. I’m asking for help from anyone capable and willing. It would give me more time to find a permanent solution and consistent, reliable income. I appreciate all who may take the time to read about my circumstances.

A High-school student with a single father.
Hello, I’m a high school student. Specially a Senior. Times have been rough, and my father struggles to pay bills or even get food sometimes. I really want to help out, and have applied to over 73 jobs, only to be turned away or ignored. He told me yesterday that we are on the route to being thrown out, and I know he is a very proud man, and refuses to ask for help. I have a little brother who is 13 and I felt the need to step up and say something to try and help him out. If you could, and if you want to, we’d love for you to help us out.

A Small Act of Kindness Can Help Me Keep Going
Hello,
My name is Rajiv, and this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write.
For over two decades, I dedicated myself to building my career. I believed that if I worked hard, stayed loyal, and always did my best, I would be able to provide for myself, family and build a stable future.
Recently (02 July 2026), I unexpectedly lost my job for 12 years in the company.
Since then, life has changed completely. Every day has become a search for opportunities, sending applications, attending just a single interview so far, improving my skills, and doing everything I can to find my next job. I haven’t given up, and I don’t intend to.
I am not asking for a luxury or an easy life.
I’m simply asking for a little help to stay afloat while I continue fighting for my next opportunity.
If you are able to contribute—even the cost of a cup of coffee—it would help me cover basic living expenses and give me a little more time to continue my job search without losing hope.
If you are unable to donate, I completely understand. Your kind words, encouragement, or even sharing my story with someone else would mean just as much.
I promise that your kindness will never be taken for granted.
I will continue to share updates on my journey until the day I can proudly say, “I got hired.”
My goal is not to depend on the kindness of strangers forever. My goal is to get back on my feet, return to work, and one day be in a position to help someone else who finds themselves where I am today.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Whether you choose to support me or simply wish me well, I am sincerely grateful.

Please Help Me Save My Apartment!
I’m a 45 yr old guy that is on disability. However, I managed to land a job painting which was supposed to be a couple week gig, that ended up lasting almost a year and a half. Last Oct I was laid off unexpectedly, but was eligible for some unemployment insurance. For anyone unfamiliar with unemployment insurance, it takes some time to be processed and accepted, and during that time I feel behind on all my bills and rent and was soon given an eviction notice which I fought in tribunal court and was given a payment schedule in Feb of this year being Ive been here over 4 years now without any previous issues. Part of that agreement was that I pay my rent on time and then by the 20th of each month I pay a further $600 until I was caught up, and if I were a dollar short or a day late, the rental agency could then go straight for an eviction. Well come June after ensuring I had more than enough in my account to cover my rent, which had gone up in June, my bank Simpili Financial decided to put through a smaller charge ahead of my rent, which made me less than 60 cents short n my rent causing an NSF fee, which I didn’t know anything about until I went to make the $600 payment 2 weeks later. By then the rental agency had filed for eviction without even calling me, and within 3 or 4 days of me realizing the bank’s mess up I was served with the eviction. Looking on my bank statement you can clearly see the agency taking out the money, which was all there, then some other smaller item or two listed the the rent payment coming back NSF and the banks $10 NSF fee. When I contacted the bank and asked them how that had happened, they agreed it was indeed their fault, and returned my $10 NSF fee, which I explained that doesn’t much help with them now making me effectively homeless, which they were nice enough to apologize for! So thinking I was totally screwed anyway I paid some bills that were behind and though Id stay here as long as possible. Then talking to my ex girlfriend, whom I’m still good friends with that happens to be a social worker in the community, was told she was pretty sure I could rebut the eviction which turned out to be true and I now have another hearing on Aug 11th, which I’m now going to be way short on the rent being I paid some bills down thinking I was already out of luck as far as my apartment goes. So I’m asking for help to raise $5000 to cover the past due rent, this new mess I find myself in, plus the NSF and filing fees Ill have to pay for regardless of if the judge agrees it wasn’t my fault and I’m allowed to stay. Homelessness has always been my greatest fear in life, and never before have I been in this situation, and it’s been unbelievably hard to even come to ask for help, but I’m really out of options. A lot more has happened since my lay off, but these are the main points. I’m more than happy to answer any questions to anyone that may want to make a donation but has a few questions first. Thanks for taking you time to read my story, may God bless you regardless of a donation , Daux.
Seeking Help
Hello
We never imagined we would be in a position where we needed to ask others for help, but today we are reaching out with a humble heart and hope that someone will hear our story. I am 57 & my wife is 70. I was in a terrible motor vehicle accident a few years ago. I now have many injuries & disabilities that I am dealing with. Every single day is a battle. I am working with a medical team to address my issues. I am not able to return to work. My wife is also dealing with health issues & not able to work.
We are facing serious financial hardship and are struggling to afford the basics that so many of us take for granted. Right now, my greatest concerns are paying my rent, keeping food on the table, and covering my essential living expenses. Every day has become a difficult balancing act, and despite doing everything I can to improve our situation, We have reached a point where we can’t do it alone.
The uncertainty of not knowing if we are be able to keep a roof over our head or afford groceries has been incredibly stressful and emotionally draining. It is difficult to ask for help, but we know that sometimes we all need a helping hand to make it through life’s hardest moments. We are using the foodbank for groceries, but I need special items due to my medical needs so I need to do a Walmart run bi-weekly for those necessary items.
We have a 2022 used vehicle that we need to payoff. (there is no transit in our remote town) & we both have different medical appointments so the car is necessary.
We are asking for: 6months rental payments-$1845.00×6=$11,070.00 & 6 months car payments-$500.00×6=$3000.00 & $1000.00 to cover utility & grocery costs. The total request is $15.070.00 My wife & I only receive Government pensions, so there is no “extra money”. With our request we would be able to at least save a few months of our pensions into savings to get ahead.
Any contribution, no matter the size, would go directly toward my rent, groceries, and other essential expenses. More than the financial support, your kindness would remind me that I am not facing this challenge alone. Your generosity would provide not only immediate relief but also the opportunity to regain stability and continue working toward a better future. I am a strong believer in “Paying it forward” which we will honour when we can get ahead of this financial burden.
The stress, depression, & sadness is taking a toll on both of us. We feel so uncomfortable having to take this step, but we have no other options.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read our story. Whether you are able to donate or simply keep us in your thoughts, We are deeply grateful for your compassion and support during this difficult time. God Bless you.

Single working mom needing help ASAP to cover the rest of July 2026 rent
Hello all. I am a single mom working 40+ hours a week and I’m asking for help with my rent. My children are ages 13 and 7 years old.
When I’m not working my full time job, I have been using food/ shopping delivery services to try to help.
I am physically exhausted trying to work all the time and I can’t keep using our only vehicle to do these food delivery services.
I am filled with anxiety about how to make ends meet constantly.
I am asking for $500 to help me finish paying my rent. I currently have $500 and there’s a $150 late fee.
Receiving this help would allow me to catch up financially, let my body rest for a day while spending quality time with my children.
My mom passed away in February 6, 2010 in my arms from cancer. My Dad passed away May 18, 2025 from health issues. My children’s father is on child support but does not contribute financially or medically. Yes I have reported it to our Attorney General. I carry our health insurance offered by my full time job. We are not on Medicaid and do not receive any food assistance.
I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I am burnt out from working all the time trying to provide for us. Constantly struggling to put food on the table and keep gas in my tank. I battle knowing that I am doing everything I can to provide for us and still feeling like a complete failure because of how much I work and we are still struggling. 257
We live in a 1 bedroom apartment in a rough part of town because it’s what I can afford. I have a used 2012 car and I’ve got to maintain it for transportation to and from my full time job.
I ask that you’d find it in your heart to help my family. This is not easy coming on the Internet and asking for financial help. I know that God will provide for us and I have faith in Him.
I also want to thank you in advance for reading our story. It means a lot to us that you took the time to read our donation request and be able to possibly help us. I am so grateful to have found this page. Thank you all again.
If you would like to donate to our request, please cash app me at

Trying to get back on track
My friends kindness should be repaid, I can’t do it alone Venmo @purplechellie5
I recently got my hours cut at work, I’m making about ¾ of what I was making before, and it’s made everything difficult. I’ve been trying to keep up with things but then I had to move apartments. One of my friends lent me money to help with the unexpected move, and I was going to pay her back with my tax refund, but that was taken by the IRS for another debt.
I need to pay her back for helping me, and I can’t get ahead. I’ve already enrolled with a debt resolution company due to my decreased earnings, but I have no funds to pay her back. And now she is having trouble because of helping me.
I really need help, I have tried everything, I even took things to a pawn shop, they didn’t want them.
She doesn’t deserve to be struggling for being kind, I need to pay back that $3000, please help me.
Single mother in urgent need of help for essentials and child’s needs
Hello to everyone in this community. I am reaching out to you today because I find myself in a situation I never imagined I would be in. As a single mother who is currently unemployed, I am facing an incredibly difficult time trying to keep a roof over my child’s head and provide the basic necessities that every child deserves. I am writing this plea for help with a lot of humility, hoping that there are kind souls out there who can support us during this crisis.
Right now, my biggest worry is our housing situation. I am struggling to cover my rent, and the fear of losing our home is something that keeps me awake every night. Beyond the rent, the cost of living has become overwhelming. I need to ensure that my child has healthy food on the table and that I can keep up with the utility bills so we have electricity and water. Being without a job has stripped away my stability, and despite my best efforts to find new opportunities, the legal challenges I am currently facing regarding my child’s rights have made it almost impossible to manage everything at once.
My goal is to raise $500. This amount would be a complete life-changer for us right now. It would allow me to pay a significant portion of my rent and clear some of the overdue bills for our home. More importantly, it would allow me to go to the store and buy enough groceries, diapers, and other essential items for my child to last us for the coming weeks. Having this financial cushion would give me the breathing room I so desperately need to focus on the upcoming legal battle for my child’s future and well-being.
I want to be clear that I am a hardworking person, but life has thrown some very hard challenges my way all at once. My child is 1,5 years old and I’m constantly trying to find a new job. Every single dollar donated will go directly toward our survival – specifically for shelter, food, and my child’s immediate needs. I believe in the power of community and the kindness of strangers. If you are not able to donate, I would appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts as we navigate this storm.
I have set up a PayPal.me link to make the process safe and simple for anyone who wishes to help. I am also able to receive support via Revolut if that is more convenient for you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my story and for considering helping a mother and child in their time of need. Your generosity means the world to us and gives me the hope I need to keep going
