Life has a way of testing our limits, and sometimes, no matter how hard we try, the hurdles seem impossible to overcome alone. My name chosen name is Shaylee, and I’m a trans woman who has faced more challenges than I ever imagined possible. Today, I’m reaching out in the hope that someone might be willing to help me get through this difficult time.

Growing up, I never had the support or love that most people take for granted. My family made it clear that they couldn’t accept me for who I am, and the rejection cut deep. To escape the suffocating small town where I grew up, I joined the Marines. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the only way I could see to build a life for myself away from the toxic environment I was in. The Marines gave me an escape, but it came with its own set of challenges.

After my stint in the military, I found myself with little more than a sense of survival. I left the service with mental health concerns that took years to get under control, and a body that was in constant pain. The physical and emotional toll was immense, but I fought through it, determined to build a better life for myself.

I’m proud to say that I’ve come a long way since those dark days. I’ve managed to find a job, and I’m gainfully employed now. My mental health is stable, and I’ve worked hard to achieve about a 730 credit score. I’m doing everything I can to be self-sufficient and responsible, but despite all my efforts, the world is still an incredibly tough place to navigate alone.

The reality is, I have no family to turn to when I need help. I don’t have anyone who can step in and offer a helping hand when life’s challenges become too much to handle on my own. Right now, I’m facing a situation that I never thought I’d find myself in—I’m on the brink of homelessness. It’s not because I’m irresponsible or haven’t planned for the future. It’s simply because I can’t come up with the massive upfront costs that life demands.

I need help with a down payment on a car and a deposit on an apartment. Apartments I am seeing are about 1600 for a deposit, and I am going to need a 3-6 down to make a car fit my budget. These aren’t luxuries; they’re necessities that I need to maintain my job and secure a stable living situation. I can make the monthly payments on both, but the initial lump sums are beyond my reach. Without these, I will lose my job and be forced into homelessness. It’s a terrifying prospect, and one that I’m fighting with everything I have to avoid.

I’m doing everything right, but despite my best efforts, I’m stuck in a system that seems designed to keep me down. I’m not asking for a handout—I’m asking for a chance. A chance to get past these initial hurdles so I can continue building the life that I’ve worked so hard to create. Any support, no matter how small, would make an immeasurable difference in my life. It would give me the opportunity to secure a stable future and finally break free from the struggles that have held me back for so long.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’m grateful for any help you can offer.

First and foremost, thank you to whoever sees this and cares. To explain, I lost my job in February; my job was in radio, an industry I had been passionate about and dedicated to for years. I actually pursued my degree because of it. This unexpected turn of events left me not only without a stable income but also facing the challenge of redefining my career path. However, it also opened the door to pursue a dream that I’ve held for a long time: becoming a full-time content creator. As I embark on this new journey, I’m reaching out for support to help me make this dream a reality.

The transition from radio to content creation has been both exciting and daunting. While my experience in radio has given me a strong foundation in storytelling, communication, and audience engagement, building a brand as a content creator requires significant time, effort, and resources. Without a steady income, I’m struggling to cover my living expenses while also investing the necessary time and energy into developing my content and growing my audience. I have a podcast that focuses on women in music, rap specifically. I have a theme and I would like to build my following utilizing my social and marketing.

This is where I’m humbly asking for your support. Donations would allow me to focus entirely on content creation, without the constant worry of how I’m going to pay my bills. And let me say, I have definitely interviewed and filled out plenty of job applications, even jobs outside of my field. Your contributions will help cover essential living expenses such as rent, utilities, and groceries, providing me with the stability I need to devote myself fully to this new career. I am on the verge of losing my car, but I would rather be able to keep a roof over my head, so my focus is on assistance with my rent and keeping my lights on and the internet connected as well.

In addition to covering my basic needs, the donations would enable me to invest in the tools and resources required to create high-quality content. This includes upgrading my equipment, purchasing necessary software, and accessing educational resources to sharpen my skills. With your support, I can produce content that not only entertains and informs but also reflects the professionalism and creativity that I’ve always strived for in my work.

Furthermore, content creation is a highly competitive field, and success requires consistency and dedication. I find myself on many days trying to make money via Uber Eats, DoorDash, Instacart, and pet sitting. But again, I’m scraping by with that. By easing my financial burden, your donations would give me the freedom to produce content regularly and consistently, helping me build a loyal audience and establish myself as a trusted voice in social spaces such as Snapchat, where I have managed to acquire over 10,000 followers. I am currently working on a TikTok following, as well as YouTube. Coming from a marketing position in radio, I know that I’ll have to invest in promotion. Again, it seems hard to accomplish these things when you don’t have the funding. And if you would like to be involved because you’re in the industry, I’m more than happy to connect and network.

In conclusion, losing my job in radio was a significant setback, but it also presented an opportunity to pursue my passion. With your support, I can turn this challenging situation into a positive and build a sustainable career as a full-time content creator. Any contribution, big or small, would make a meaningful difference and bring me one step closer to achieving my dream. Thank you for considering supporting me on this journey.

In June 2023 I switchedcity agencies, in which I was promised I could return to my original agency without issue if necessary. On October 18, 2023 my request to return to my permanent title was sent. On November 9, 2024 I resigned due to the unbearable conditions at the new agency and the assurance received from H.R. with regards to my expected return.

The current mayor then put a moratorium on hiring due to budgeting issues- new hires were being prioritized over former vested employees.

After searching for a comparable job, I finally got a temporary position as a group home Social Worker as i waited for a start date. I was also hit with some medical bills that I did not realize my prior City health insurance would not cover. Over the next two months I maintained employment until I was notified of budget cuts and terminated from my temporary agency on January 15, 2024. After submitting more documents and being drug tested on/ around December 20, 2023, I was sure I would receive a start date from my original agency soon.

Once that did not happen, I applied for other temporary work and began onboarding on February 9, 2024. The onboarding process took some time, so I filed for public assistance on February 27,2024 to assist with rental costs. Shortly after I received a start date of March 4, 2024, unfortunately the agency exposed me to bed bugs and my employment came to an end on March 15, 2024.

I am now currently back to work at a new agency.  And am able to pay my rent moving forward. However, my financial situation cannot sustain the rental arears over the past 5 months (February-June) in the total of $6,530. I am asking that you please assist me with providing a donation  so I can get some relief, from this crippling debt.

I deeply appreciate your help and understanding in this matter.

Hello, my name is Michael and I’m a seasoned fine artist and graphic designer focused on the community in Boulder, CO. I’m currently homelessness because of the bureaucracy between getting a new place and not living at the old space of 10 years anymore and urgently need your help to secure a new place to live. I was not evicted and have no criminal record no family and can’t drive because I am functionally blind.

I’m reaching out with a campaign called ‘Homeless doesn’t mean Hopeless’ for awareness of poverty and to raise funds for a $1,700 deposit for an apartment that’s being held for me. I’m in a critical situation and need to secure this deposit as soon in the next few days.

I have accomplished great things in life so far, but remain humble and am once again in a fight for my life. This new space would allow me to continue my journey of one day giving back to humanity in the most creative and sincere way. From doing pro-bono graphics for small and humanitarian businesses, to full event productions including the latest technologies. One of the first things I did when overcoming these Chaka goes before, was to design the official first ‘BOHO’ (Boulder Outreach for Homeless Overflow) logo for free, that was churches opening their doors to those turned away from the shelter on below zero nights so they wouldn’t literally freeze to death.

Being homeless strips you of a lot of things, but leaves you with the truest sense of what life means to you and what you really want to do in it. I have had this goal sense I was a teen, and now in my 50s, it seems closer than ever. Just getting over this one last hump is crucial.

Your support will make a huge difference in my life and help me get back on my feet and once again be of service to others. I’m grateful for any assistance you can provide, and I’m committed to using your donations to secure a safe and stable home.

For those who prefer to donate directly, you can also send funds via Cash App or Venmo. Every bit of support helps, and I’m grateful for your generosity.

Thank you for considering my campaign and for supporting my journey towards a brighter future for ALL.

My wife was contract labor working at Bank of America. They recently eliminated or did not renew most (or all?) of their contract labor in the Dallas area. She was laid off and that has put us into a bad situation. We can make other arrangements but with all the challenges of the past few years (such as myself having 2 heart valves replaced+more) we have exhausted our savings. We just need some short term help to pay bills and to prevent us from becoming homeless. Rent is the biggie but other bills have to be paid in order for us to be able to see blue sky, such as internet, electric and cell.

Any help would be awesome! Like I said, we are just looking for short term help in order to be able to help ourselves going forward.

To Whom it may concern,

I am a single mother of two wonderful boys, and I am writing in hope that I can be helped to pay backed up rent money that I owe (total is $20,000 but half of this can help since I will apply to One Shot Deal, government aid, but they will only cover a portion).  Any help would be greatly appreciated because this will put me back on track.  I got backed up with my rent due to challenges I had to face during covid-19, and after. My and my boys had to face a few bumps around the road, like bed bugs, and having to buy new furniture for the bedrooms, and having to pay a private exterminator, along with my bathroom ceiling collapsing and me having to pay someone to come and fix it. I live in public housing, and they take a long time to fix things.  All this accumulates.  I also pay a sitter to help me with my son. So many expenses and not enough pay.  Also, after covid-19 both my aunt and her son Gaby (my cousin) passed away within two weeks’ time of each other. I contributed to their funeral, and this also put a hole in my pocket.  This all took a toll on me and my family.  My father also passed away in 2014 and it took me almost ten years to pay back a debt owed to three people who helped me cover funeral expenses and other financial matters related to this. Being back on track financially will be a big help to me and my boys. I hope someone out there can find it in their heart to help me.

Thank you.

Thank you so much

Good day everyone.

I hate having to ask for help, but I have no other choice at the moment. I had rent money saved up, but had my car break down last week and needed to use my rent money to pay for the car repairs. So, I am needing help with my rent. I have arranged with my landlord to pay late and he understands the situation.

Rent is $1,200 and is due no later than August 7. If I can get help with it I would appreciate it. I cannot be evicted because I have a special needs family member living with me and are unable to move at the moment.

Hi my name is Kimberly, I am humble enough to ask for help from strangers to help me with a down payment, first and last months rent for an apartment for me and my 3 year old Allie. A few years ago I found myself in jail facing serious charges on a first degree felony charge. I was looking at 25 to life and worst of all my daughter had to be in the care of my sister while I was in jail facing charges. One story short my mother was able to get me a good lawyer and all my charges were dismissed due to the fact my mental state was the factor of the crime I caused. I suffered from schizophrenia and post pardom depression and tried to end my life while my baby was 4 months old. I couldn’t think clearly and I was losing a mental battle with demons taking over my thoughts I believe. But God walked me through almost a year in jail waiting for trial and also brought me and my daughter back together when she was 16 months of age. I’m beyond grateful and blessed to be her mother and in her life, y’all just don’t know! Me and my daughter are currently living with my parents and I was able to receive my TWIC card and find a decent paying job at one of the industrial plants here in Texas. Before my mental breakdown I’ve always had my own and never had to ask for help unless I really needed it. I need help getting a place for me and Allie so that we both can be comfortable in our on home and with me raising her. My parents don’t have the means to help pay for me an apartment and I don’t know where else to go for help. I’m not even qualified for Section 8 either so everything has to come from my own pockets. Any donations for us will be highly appreciated and will go to helping us get a place of our own to call home. Thank y’all so much for reading this and I hope that in doing so will touch your hearts and help me a my beautiful little girl. All we have is each other and she’s my best friend!

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a semi-retired 70-year-old former full-time educator who has dedicated many years of my life to teaching and nurturing young minds. After retiring from my full-time position, I returned to the classroom as a substitute teacher. With my retirement check, social security check and the income I earned from substitute teaching, I was able to keep my bills paid and maintain a stable life.

However, substitute teaching positions are not available during the summer months, and unfortunately, I was unable to secure a summer job this year. This has put me in a difficult financial strain and situation where my current funds are insufficient to cover all my expenses. Specifically, I am struggling to pay my bills, rent, car note, and car insurance.

I am actively seeking alternative ways to manage my bills, including considering payment plans for some of my bills that I can put off and pay later via a payment plan. However, my immediate concern is ensuring that I have a roof over my head. To cover my rent for this month, I need $1200.

This is a one-time request, and I am reaching out to kind-hearted individuals for assistance. Your support would make a significant difference in my life and provide me with the stability I need during this challenging time. I assure you that I am doing everything in my power to find employment and will be back on my feet once the school year resumes and substitute teaching positions become available again. In fact, I have been on INDEED seeking teaching jobs. I applied for a full time Teacher Assistant position and made it to the second interview. After which, I was offered the job and I accepted it, However, school doesn’t start until next month in August. It pays bi-monthly and I won’t get that first check until after four weeks of work since the first check is held for two weeks. Hence, the need for assistance for August rent.

I can accept donations through CashApp, as I do not have any other accounts. If you are willing and able to help, any amount you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.
