Small wedding expenses

My name is Daniel I’m 24 years old and live with my parents, my family has struggled financially, mentally and physically. I always wanted to be the one to change everything, heal my family, inspire and lead them.

I’ve broken out of aimlessness and depression that I’ve had since childhood, I found the love of my life and started up a cleaning business to improve my financial situation and finally started saving up decently.

The longer that we remain unmarried the more sin that we accrue by dating and I’m running out of time. I know that I will be able to financially support her and myself after marriage but I simply haven’t saved up enough yet.

I’ve managed to save up a couple thousand dollars but I need $20,000 to afford the traditional wedding attire for my bride, the travelling expenses, wedding decorations, gifts for the bride family and to be decently presentable when I meet her family.

Every little bit of help will immensely appreciated and will be in the name of love.

Seeking Change

Hello,

I’m a 32-year-old single mum, and I’m writing this with both hope and fear in my heart. I’m about to take the biggest, hardest, and most important step of my life — entering a 3-month residential rehabilitation program to recover from addiction.

Addiction has been a part of my story for many years, but it’s not the whole story. I’m a mother to a beautiful, happy little boy who is nearly three. He’s my whole world, and everything I do now is with him in mind. I’m determined to get better — not just for me, but so I can be the mum he truly deserves.

I’ve tried to quit before, but I’ve never had the support I needed to stay clean long-term. This time is different. I have a bed in a rehab program where I’ll receive the support, structure, and therapy I’ve needed for so long. For the first time, I truly believe recovery is possible. But I’m facing a heartbreaking financial roadblock.

In order to go to rehab, I have to temporarily give up custody of my son to his dad. That alone is emotionally devastating, but what’s making it even harder is knowing I won’t be able to cover my rent and bills while I’m away. I receive just $780 a fortnight from Centrelink, and $680 of that goes straight to rent. With electricity, water, phone, and other bills, I simply won’t survive financially without help.

I need around $7,000 to cover my rent and basic bills for the three months I’ll be in rehab. I don’t want to lose my home — it’s the only stable place my son knows, and with the current housing crisis, giving it up could mean we won’t get it back. I’ve worked so hard to build this safe space for us, and the idea of losing it just to get better feels cruel.

I grew up in a home shaped by addiction. My mum, who is still in active addiction, was my main support — and I’ve had to go no contact for my own healing. It’s been incredibly isolating. But I’m lucky to have a few close friends who believe in me, and I’m slowly building a new kind of support system — one rooted in hope, not survival.

I’m not asking for luxuries — I’m just asking for the chance to heal without losing everything I’ve worked so hard to hold onto. If you can help, even a little, I would be forever grateful. If you can’t, I understand — please just wish me strength on this journey.

With gratitude and hope ❤️‍🩹

smile again

I’m reaching out for help during a challenging time. As a single parent raising two children, I’ve found myself unable to work, and unfortunately, I can’t afford the high costs of dental care. I am in constant pain due to inflamed gums and desperately need my teeth removed and replaced with dentures.

 

The total cost for the treatment is around $30,000 AUD, which feels overwhelming. I often feel ashamed to smile and avoid taking photos, but more than anything, I just want to be pain-free and regain my confidence.

 

If you can help in any way, it would mean the world to me and my family. You can contribute via my PayPal link:

LITTLE ARLO

Im the one who gives, on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day i collect donations and give them out to the elderly to make their day because it brings me so much joy. Im a single mum who even though ive always struggled have made sure that every Xmas my kids and I choose a family or 2 to give presents too so they know there is always someone worse off than us.
Never have I been the one to ask for help….until now.
My eldest son lost his father when he was 11 and never really recovered from it, fast forward and he is now 24 and in May 2023 Jayden and his partner welcomed their little boy Arlo into the world.
Arlo was so much like Jayden’s dad and he gave us so much love and healing we felt so happy again.
Sadly Jayden and his partner grew apart a year later but still kept in contact for Arlo, and we had Arlo all the time.
One afternoon after shopping with him all day and sharing a hotdog at Wendy’s for lunch it was time for him to go to his mums house.
That would be the last time we ever got to see Arlo again.
Arlo drowned in his grandmas inground pool while in their care and our whole entire world came falling apart wirh a few simple words….sorry there is nothing else we can do.
Watching my son try and navigate this grief while also trying to grieve myself and keep working (as I have 2 other children) to support has been so incredibly hard for us.
My son needs me and I need to be there for him for a bit as he isint in a really good head space.
if anyone is able to help financially so im able to take some time off of work I would be forever grateful beyond anything and promise to pay it forward in the future.

AUS – Save My Family

Served 7 years in the Australian Defence Force starting 12/10/2006 as an Infantry Soldier achieving the rank of LCPL. Medically discharged for spinal injury. I’ve been seeking help as I now suffer from a multitude of conditions.
– Alcohol use disorder in remission
– Major depressive disorder with anxious distress
– PTSD
– Tinnitus
– Chronic pain from lower back injury
The list includes over 13 conditions with 8 more pending. I have a wife who has somehow stayed with me through it all and two young children 4 (boy) & 2 (Girl)
Since Covid hit our expenses have increased overall by over 70%.
I have tried to minimise our costs by purchasing the lowest plans I can across all our bills and we’re still rapidly going in to debt. As a result I’ve been under pressure and it’s effecting my family in a major way (I do not physically harm my family) I’m quick to anger due to high levels of stress, lack of sleep and a cocktail of medications daily.
My family deserve better than what I can provide and so I’m completely desperate and willing to for go my pride and ask for help in any way.
We are living week to week and have been for over a year now. We have a mortgage of $400,000 and our credit card has been keeping us a float but is $8,000 in debt. My wife has the same car since 2013 (Barina) and is very quickly deteriorating and difficult with two children.
I’ve considered extreme methods of insurance as they really deserve a normal life.

If you made it this far, thank you for listening.

PLEASE HELP SAVE MY LIFE

Please help me. I am in a lot of debt. For around 6 years I have been slowly put into a scam situation where all my savings, my family, my house, my car and even my job has been lost. For around 6 years ago, I was searching the web for some extra work so that I can earn little bit more money for my family as my job income was not enough. I than came across a website where they said that they can help better people’s life. I called them and they promised that they can make my life better by helping me succeed. They also opened an account under my name and gave me the logins saying that it is my account. Everything seemed so legit as I never seen anything like it before and plus having the login for the account made it look legit. They said that they will add money into the account for my business project and help me invest that money for progress. They said that I can withdraw the money but I have to pay some fees in order to do that. Even my wife fell for this as all the documents and details they provided seemed legit. They kept asking for payments and fees etc. as I didn’t thought that I have been scammed since I was able to transfer a small amount from that account into my own account as the organization allowed it saying that it will verify my account so it all seemed legit. They kept coming up with excuses and in the process I gave all that I saved for my family and even took out loans to pay for all the fees they kept requesting in the hope to receive what they promised to help. I am a very simple person and never came across any scammers or situations like this. Now they have completely disappeared when I finally got mad at them as after so long I haven’t got anything from what they promised and left me in so much debt. Due to this process, frustration and debts, I am now separated from my wife and my only daughter whom I love very much and miss her a lot. I even have to leave the country and now I am in New Zealand. Please anyone, help me with whatever you can as I would like to get my life back and also my wife and daughter back. Please help me and free me from all those debts which has been really troubling me and I even thought of taking my own life so many times since whatever I tried to build, I have lost them all but if you can please help with whatever you can than it might help restore my life and my family back quicker since at this present moment, I am totally lost. Please help. Below is my PayPal link and any little help will be highly appreciated. God bless you.

Homeless

Hi, my name is Rachael Smith & for the past 14 years I was living in my family home I grew up in. I moved there with my 3 boyd when I broke up with my abusive partner as my parents were moving to darwin and needed someone to look after their house.

In 2020 my mum passed away with pancreatic cancer and told me that I’d inherit the house once dad passed away  as she said she would happily pass away knowing her kids all had a roof over their heads for life.

Well a year ago my dad had an unexpected workplace accident and found himself unable to work in which he told me he needed to sell my house so he had enough money to retire. My house had gone on the market & a month ago I had to move out. There was places available for rent here’s as there were big fires here a few years ago and all rentals were snapped up by families needing somewhere to live. I moved into my brothers but within a week I had to leave as he has mental problems and he attacked me. The police told me to get my things and not go back there as is isn’t safe for me.i then had to stay with my ex partner but after about a week or so of being there he became abusive…so now I’m homeless. I do work but it’s so quiet at this time of year there’s not much work, I’ve tried to get extra work but there’s just no jobs available. I been trying to save to try and get a deposit to buy a house but atm my works just covering the money I been giving people for letting me and my boys camp on their lounges and floors with airbeds and our things we’ve had to leave behind at my brothers or throw out. I’ve never had no place to call my home and this is ripping my heart out to see my boys and myself with no home. Please please I need help to try to come up with a deposit for a home here where we live. I feel useless as a mother because we have nothing n nowhere to live. Anything would be so helpful to us and I’d so appreciate even 5c this is my PayPal.me/rachaelsmith77 I’d love to walk in one day and tell my boys we have our own place to live in again and give them the warmth and security and see them smile again. The biggest thankyou to whomever can help us out. It means everything to us. Xx

Ex caregiver/support worker needing help

HI.
my passion most of my life has been caring for people and animals. Caring is in my nature and wouldn’t wish to be any different. I have enjoyed volunteering in various activities from helping hand at a game park, being akela in a cub pack, adult literacy, school support, community mini bus driver, 

My greatest achievement in life is my amazing son who I am extremely proud of. When going through a divorce I bought a lovely house. Once my son spread his wings I sold my house and invested my nest egg to keep it safe.  Through mismanagement the company went broke and not many people got their money back, including me.
I am now 71 years young and retired and with what money I had left, bought a small caravan to live in as this was an affordable way to live. Decisions made in haste and all that.  I had been in a toxic relationship with an alcoholic which I only found out after a few months hence my haste to retreat to my own caravan  haven.
Sadly my haven has no kitchen, bathroom or toilet so I walk to the camping ground facilities. Not that pleasant in the wet cold of winter. Being an old style small van it gets a lot of condensation and my son is concerned that I’ll get sick from the dampness. The head of my mattress has to be pulled away from the wall as it gets wet and needs to be semi dried with a heater

Sooo I am hoping some kind souls out there can help me with the finances to buy a more up to date caravan with full amenities and a bed that doesn’t sit by a wall. There are some pretty good vans for around $30.000 to $50,000 

So love ❤️ and blessings to everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my letter  XX

Help a single mother fund for her late father’s headstone

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all,

 

My name is Hazik. I am 33years of age and a single mother to five beautiful children raging from the age of 12years – 16years. I am also a sole carer for my elderly parents (my late father was 83 when he passed and my mother is currently 78years old). I work a full-time job, working between 40-70 hours per week.

 

I have been the sole carer for my parents since I was 18years old and still am to this very day. I have been a single mother since the day 5 months into my pregnancy to my twins (12years old now). 2 of my 5 children are my biological children (identical twin girls) and the other 3 are my adopted children since 2019 (ages 13 – 16).

 

My father passed away late last year (2024), so I am currently continuing the care for my elderly mother. My children designed a headstone for my parents (their nana and papa). I have taken this design around to local headstone businesses for quotation and have found the cheapest quote at $30,000.00 (30k). This is the cost for a double headstone for my parents as they will be laid side by side when my mother’s time comes.

 

I am seeking your help with funding this headstone for my father (and mother) as I am not able to save that much money in a short period of time before the unveiling date. My weekly pay is barely enough to make ends meet due to the high cost of living now. I have tried applying for a Credit Card and a Personal Loan to cover this cost but unfortunately was unsuccessful as I had already taken out a loan last year (currently still paying it off) for my dad’s funeral and expenses.

My father’s unveiling is set for September 2025. Any amount of help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. May God bless you all 10 times fold for anything you are able to sacrifice to help bring my children’s vision of their grandparents headstone to life.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Hazik P

Trained, Focused, and Ready — Just Need the Resources

Dear reader,

I have been living in Australia for the past five years, trying to create a better life with limited resources. Over time, the rising cost of living rent, insurance, transport, and basic bills has made it almost impossible to save. Despite working hard and managing everything on my own, i have never had enough to move forward toward something meaningful.

I have real experience and hands-on skills in both car wash and hair salon businesses. I have worked in these areas and fully understand how to run daily operations, serve customers, manage services, and grow step-by-step. I am confident in my ability to make a business successfull-not just to survive, but to grow it properly.

All I need now is a fair opportunity. I m looking to raise $100,000 to start my own business, fix my current situation, and clear some small debts that have built up during the struggle. This amount would be used directly for setting up the business: covering equipment, location setup, legal requirements, and getting things running the right way from day one.

I don’t have support here. No one I can turn to for help. Thats why I am reaching out here with honesty and hope. I am not asking for sympathy, just the chance to take control of my life with something I know I can manage and grow.

If you choose to help, you are not just supporting a business ideas are helping someone take a fresh start with the skills, work ethic, and determination to succeed. Your support could change everything for me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

How did it come to this?

At 47 a single mother of 3 boys aged 15,14 and 4. I have never had to ask for help before,but here I sit in the dark on a Saturday night at midnight lost confused and crying completely depleted. I have exhausted all other avenues. Applied to every known finance company ( even the dodgy ones) only to be knocked back every time. Its not that I couldn’t afford the repayments on a loan in fact I have an excellent credit score its the fact that Im a co borrower on a car loan that my partner ( now ex ) took out and I was unaware that being a co borrower even though its just on paper means I am equally liable for that debt. So fast forward to now. I am single with 3 children, unemployed due to health reasons my partner walked out 3 months ago I have used up all savings and have now reached the point of begging. I have no family or friends that can help me believe me if I did I would not be on google at this time of night to stumble across this site.So to cut what could be an extremely long story short Im in need of $15000. This money will not go towards just one thing I had surgery last October to remove cervical cancer however it has returned and needs to be removed asap to stop it from spreading. The public wait list is long and the private hospital is $8000. The other $7000 would go towards keeping the roof over our heads, car repairs and all the other bills that are piling up. Im an honest woman and I swear that once I have gotten over this hurdle in life and I am back on track I will pay it forward in any way possible. I have never felt so helpless in my entire life and if I could ever stop just one other person from feeling the way I do right now  I would in a heart beat. Thank you so much for your kindness and help in advance. Kind Regards. PayPal@lifelessons256 [Read more…]

I need help please read my story
Myself and Cartwright, Myself (driver) drove over to the terminus hotel Morgan to get take away dinner my girlfriend Ella was there we played a few games of pool I had a 2 beers Cartwright was drinking double jacks as the time went on I said to Cartwright we need to go ella said I’ll get a lift home too.
 At the time ex partner the driver Luke Cartwright 44 years of age drove myself and my car into a tree speed over 100ks
 I was in the passage seat with a seat belt on the side that took the complete impact
I was able to get my seat belt off open the passenger door, trying to escape thinking the car would catch fire as iv lost a brother in law the same way.
As iv taken at the most 2 step i collapsed was unconscious (passing in and out the whole experience)

(he has a criminal past one example is due to 45 counts of drug trafficking he was convicted to under 10 got on home D he had been off for last few months)

 I have not worked or drove a car since the accident.
All the CFS Whom attended the scene said that they will be more than happy to stand up and say that I was definitely not driving that night as I was found just outside the passenger door my injuries are not
I have the evidence of Cartwright on Facebook messenger stating that he drove the car into the tree.
I did also do a video statement evidence made from my home to police and I assume it’s at the Waikerie police station in regards to that night of MVA stating on the video with my little sister beside me scared with Anxiety I was not driving and the reason why I lied is because I sincerely thought I was going to be murdered.
I have contacted so many ppl but  with no help I feel hopeless because what happened that night has been continuing in my life mental disease disorders, I suffer from tacky Cardiacs as soon as I get in the car to drive now my existing injuries, which is only going to worsen in time.
Your Feedback/ Donations will be very much appreciated.

Life

To whomever may read my post,

Hi and thank you for taking time to read my post.
i dont no where to start so ill start where i suppose my life took a turn of loss, heart break, anger, sadness, lonleyness, lost, just nowhere to turn. On the 25th of may last year 2024 the man whom addored me and i adoéred more then i had ever know passed away from septaesemia.
Two years prior his passing. He was diagnosed with heart failure and was given two years left if he maintained his lifestyle. so this devastating news we went home and cried for a very long time but with all this being said he was my hero and next day he asked me to take him to the clinic where he gave up heroine and never touched it again. Yeah you might see the word heroine I think no way am I gonna have junkies, This is a man that’s had a hard hard life. Heroin  was the love of his life and he gave that all up so he could live a longer life with me. Time past and you could see him slowly deteriorating but he kept a brave face for me and my children. This is a man that showed my children more love than their own fathers so we went from this beautiful bright house with my four children and my partner to a dark yuck miserable lonely home with no one because he was so sick all my kids eventually left my youngest who is 10 went to live with their father so my attention could be on my partner. Prior a week before passing he was in hospital but as usual you came home with no more than what we already knew on the Thursday 23rd of May. I miscarried, Roye passed away on the following Saturday, 25 May 2024 we were supposed to get married on 25 May 2025 he was my world. I struggled that I’m still struggling now just to fight to live fight to be happy. Get out of bed.
with everything that’s happening at the time my head was just everywhere I didn’t know what to do or where to go or who to turn to. with all this being said I was told to wait for social worker to phone me who was meant to call me on the Monday, on Tuesday. I found out that somebody had walked into the hospital and took me off his next of kin I don’t know who or how but they did. I was beside myself then find out. I wasn’t even allowed to go to funeral but a lovely lovely lady fort for me to go. Mind you I was still misscarraging because I was haemorrhaging. My life had just turned upside down. Then not even a month after I was told I had to move out of my home of 10 years. it was our home and I had to move. There was nothing I could do. so after his funeral I came home and started to pack. I just wanted to die. I just wanted to be with the man that I love. Since then life has just thrown one thing after another but it won’t take me out. It’s like it’s like I meant to be here everyone to laugh at or feel pity upon life just loves kicking me when I’m down and I feel like there’s no getting up there times I wish I could’ve gone with him but then I look for my little girl and no that I have to be here for her.
so I helped out where Could with funeral expenses. I paid his debts off and I still try to help his 2  young children  to where I find myself just struggling more and more every day. I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a proper meal. I couldn’t tell you last time I smiled. I really meant it. I can’t tell you that I am trying. I don’t even know where this is going but again thank you. I just tried to get some funds together. We haven’t had a car nearly 2 years spare bit of money we get has to go somewhere or something.
Tonight my daughter is staying with her dad because I couldn’t afford dinner so I asked her dad to have her until I can find some food for our house. Every day i struggle, some would say blessed others would have pity but yeah I’m still sitting here with nothing and no one by the time i pay rent electricity gas money on opal cards for transport I’ve left probably $29 a week and that’s to buy my kids food put money towards education. My kids have never known what Pocket monies is because I’ve never had it to give it so I’m just asking for some help so I can try a better mine or my children’s life. Get on my feet. Learn to be happy again. Learn to be your mum again just all in all want ti be able to give to my babies. so if you are able to give big small or even just a r you okay? Anything is appreciative so thank you again for reading my story. I sincerely thank you the bottom of my heart thank you.

Help with Vet bills

Hello everyone, I hate to be doing this but I really need some help with this.

I got a Blue Frenchie a few months ago to help with my depression and anxiety. She’s been really helpful for me.
A few days ago we were training at a park and a large dog ran up and attacked her and she’s been stuck at the vets since.

Her ear was ripped in half and she also has a lot of deep cuts on her face. There’s bite marks all over her body and especially her neck. She has infections and also a fractured leg.

The bills end up being around $2000 which also includes medication.

Any little bit helps if you can afford it.
Thank you so much for reading and donating if you can<3

Hello, I need to pay for my school fees!

Hello, I need to pay for my student fees before getting kicked out of school. I have until the end of this Month to pay $6000. My parents would rather see me fail and I don’t want to be like the rest of my family and live on government benefits for the rest of my life.
Can you please help me, to not be that person and to have a small lift in life and move away from this. I’m not expecting anything, I’m not, but if you do and you can. It would be incredible help and I would appreciate it more than you can truly understand.
I only have paypal; paypal.me/Gr3yTig3r
