Hello, I am reaching out today as a new mother who has recently returned to a stable, good-paying job after being unemployed for just over a year. During that time, I fell behind on my rent and have been working tirelessly to get back on track. Over the past few months, I have managed to bring all of my other financial obligations—such as utilities, groceries, and baby essentials—to a manageable point. However, my rent remains the one major hurdle I cannot overcome with my current resources.    My landlord has been extremely generous in allowing me time to catch up, but I have reached a point where I need to bring my rent current in order to secure my housing for myself and my baby. The amount I need to catch up is approximately $2,500. While I have explored every other avenue and option available to me, none have matched the timeframe or amount necessary to resolve this issue before it jeopardizes my home.                                                  This situation has been emotionally overwhelming. Despite working hard and doing everything I can to stabilize my life and create a safe environment for my child, it feels as though I am running in place. Every time I make progress, another unexpected expense arises, and I have not been able to build any savings for emergencies. Asking for help is far outside of my comfort zone, and I know there are people facing even more difficult situations than mine, but I am at a point where I must seek assistance to protect my child’s home.      Securing this support would allow me to finally be caught up and maintain the progress I have worked so hard for. With my job in place and my other expenses under control, being current on rent would mean I can continue building stability for my family. I am deeply grateful to anyone who takes the time to consider my situation. Your kindness and understanding during this critical period would mean the world to me and my baby, and I hope to one day pay that generosity forward.         Thank you sincerely for reading and for any consideration or support you can offer. Even the opportunity to ask for help and hope that I can overcome this challenge and provide my child with the secure home we both need.

• Honestly not sure where to start. In 2021 I was in a car accident with my dad. Dude ran the red light, t-boned us and totaled my dad’s car. We were fine (so we thought at least). Fast forward to fall 2022 when I started noticing some pain in my chest area. It would happen taking heavy breaths, moving my neck, heavy lifting, any kind of physical activity would aggravate it. Which my job in a warehouse for a very popular shipping company called for every shift, all shift. Went to my doctor and he had me complete some tests. EKG, X-Rays, Lung checks, all of which came back normal. At this point he was stumped and after some research of his own he came to the conclusion that my condition seems to be costochondritis. It is inflammation of the sternum (breast bone). He recommended me to take a few weeks off work with something called FMLA. (Family and Medical Leave Act) Basically federally protected medical leave. As well as prescribed some anti-inflammatories that I took daily which did not help. I complete the paperwork and take my time off to rest. I received slight relief in my time off, not hurting as much but upon returning to work 4 works later, my pain returned by the end of the work week. I returned to my doctor with this information but aside from more rest and time off work, he didn’t have much else to offer me. Costochondritis can be long-lasting with some not healing until even years after which leaves me where I am today.
  But to continue, as the Christmas season and 2023 approached, as well as my transfer to a new facility processing so I can be with my partner across the country,  I needed to work to pay my bills, I chose to return to work. For the time being and revisit the topic of tike off later.
  I received approval of my transfer in the summer of 2023 which was exciting. Felt like a new start for me and the beginning of our life together as a couple.
  This takes me to where I am now three years later.  My pain hasn’t healed and has only gotten worse. Literally just resting at home in bed can be painful for me. Every movement I make using my upper body just hurts so much. I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore. But to give context I decided to take some time for myself this year and take time off to rest. I had my Doctor here sign me off for FMLA so I can take off work one day a week to rest. I can call out one day every week, paid or unpaid (whether I have leave or not) and it will be job-protected. As spring approaches I notice my pain not getting any better. And I start entertaining the idea of taking a prolonged time off work. In a moment of (what I felt at the time was) weakness, I decided to take long-term FMLA. I have just been renewing it every couple of months since May. I have been taking this time to take more care of our home and try and cook more as well as just work on my overall health/mental health. This time off has been everything but healing sadly.
  My mental health has hit an all-time low. I have my partner, of course we love and have one another, but they are also taking care of their own responsibilities that I am trying to support them with. We are both young and attempting to set up the future chapters in our lives. They are in school and working hard for a career in the medical field. All while working full time.
  The past year has been very tough for me. I had a relative I had a close relationship with as a kid commit suicide last Fall (2025), as well as another 3 who decided to die by the end of 2025 in differing violent ways. My whole life I have been just watching my loved ones die while I go on. It takes a toll on a person. But you aren’t my therapist (which I started seeing this year thankfully). I bring this up as it was triggering to me as I had a friend of 10 years commit suicide in 2020 as well. It was a sad and violent death and it just brought me into this dark place I have been struggling to get myself out of.
  Fast forward to where I am now. I ran out of sick leave and now I am learning from coworkers that our jobs may be at risk. Some coworkers are receiving letters in the mail about their job bids no longer being valid so they no longer have an assigned position. These are people at the facility way longer than I have been. I have also received a letter from the manager at my office that my FMLA protected leave balance is up for the work year. I was asked to provide more medical documentation by a certain deadline. Which I did send, therapy, PT, doc visits, etc. I have receipts in case. But I checked my mail the other day to find a letter that my job may be in danger due to my time off. This feels so unfair. I was and am still in so much pain. And when I try to take care of myself so I can heal I feel like the world punishes me. I am in so much debt now that I took out a loan to consolidate (yes, I’m stupid and found out too late). I can barely afford my weekly therapy appointments anymore which is my only form of mental health care right now. Let alone pay my half of rent. My partner is being sweet and covering it for me right now. But that is only sustainable for so long. My job pays more than theirs. I don’t want to live every day like this. I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore. I need to work but if I do my body just breaks even more. Everything hurts all the time. My chest, body, my brain. I love my partner and our life together. I would also like to specify I am working on myself and my health with my doctor and therapist to find other causes too.
  Literally anything you can offer or if you know someone who can offer something, please share with them. Thank you for your time.

Hi All – I have never had to ask for help before.  I’m in my early 60’s and did not expect to be in this situation. After an excrutiating 8 years of illness, personal losses – a lot of mourning –  and  financial setbacks, I am at my wits’ and pennies’ end.

The most pressing matter is that I owe several months in rent arrears and my landlord is taking me to court if I cannot pay 3k by the end of the month.

The good news is that I very possibly have a job starting soon. Even so, my first paycheck will not arrive for about a month. I will already be in court and in the meantime, have zero funds for transportation, utlities, even doing laundry. I am getting some help with food but otherwise, no financial assistance whatsoever. No family or friends who can help.  I’ve been hustling for gigs and selling things on Ebay – here and there – but it’s been very tough.

I really don’t know what to do.

If anyone has it in their heart to help, I would greatly appreciate it.  I also would definitely pay the favor forward! <3 <3 <3

I thank you for your time and reading my post.

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.

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.

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.

1. I recently quit my full time job after making certain shocking discoveries suggesting that my employer may be involved in shady activities. Rather than risk my well being, especially given that my work hours were nocturnal (night time) I abruptly quit to seek employment elsewhere. Meanwhile, my rent, phone etc and other bills remain pending. Any donations, help and assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am a single mother of 3 children, all of whom have various disabilities, epilepsy being one of them, and I am struggling to keep my household afloat in this season of our lives. I am a postpartum Doula and Teacher’s Assistant carrying the financial load alone while caring for other families on a deep level. Please help me to get my car fixed and help with the rent I am behind on so I can continue to care for my children and not end up in another shelter.

Hello, recently, there was something traumatic that happened about 100 feet from my apartment and now me and my roommates don’t feel safe so I am trying to raise money to help start trying to break my lease and get a new place that we have already visited and really like. The amount I need for my portion is $2500. Help would be greatly appreciated to help start a new life elsewhere where we don’t have to continuously watch our backs while we are at home.

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.
