Help a Single Mother of Three Give Her Children a Safe Home

I am a single mother of three, doing everything in my power to give my children a safe and stable place to call home. Asking for help is incredibly difficult for me—I have always been the one taking care of others. After my parents passed away, I stepped in to raise my six younger siblings. I later moved from Africa to Canada in search of a better future, but life as a single mother has brought many challenges.

Today my greatest hope is to buy a home where my children can feel safe, secure, and free to grow. For the first time in my life, and for the sake of my children, I am humbly asking for help from kind-hearted people who believe in giving families a chance at stability and hope.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any support you can offer. 💛

​Title: A Family in Peril: Help me get legal before tragedy strikes

​Title: A Family in Peril: Help me get legal before tragedy strikes

​The Situation

My name is Shantelle, and I am reaching out for a “hand up” to save my family from a desperate situation. We live in rural BC with no public transit, and right now, we are living a nightmare.

​The Danger We Face

My partner is a severe diabetic who has lost his leg and is progressively losing his eyesight. Because I am trapped behind $10,000 in licensing fines, there are times he still tries to get behind the wheel to get us to the store or the doctor. It is dangerously scary. Seeing a man who is losing his vision try to drive because we have no other choice is heartbreaking and terrifying. I am terrified he will hurt himself, our three nephews, or someone else on the road.

​I am facing jail time on April 20th because I’ve been caught trying to take that burden off him. I know driving is a privilege, but in our isolated home, it is a matter of life and death.

​A Family of Five Depending on One Solution

I am the primary caregiver and Aunt to three young boys who lost their father suddenly in 2024. They have seen enough tragedy. They need me to be their legal, safe driver. They need to get to therapy and school. My partner needs to get to his Dr.appts. and specialists.

​36 Months of Change

I have spent the last 36 months in sobriety, working every day to be the woman this family needs. I had a brief setback last year during a time of extreme grief, but I stood back up and I haven’t looked back. I am 45 on Feb 1st, and my only wish is to enter this next year of my life as a legal, working member of society.

​The $10,000 Goal

I need to raise $10,000 to clear my ICBC and court debt. On a disability income, I cannot do this alone. Clearing this debt is the only way I can:

  • ​Stop the Danger: End the terrifying reality of my partner trying to drive with failing eyesight.
  • ​Keep the Family Together: Show the court on April 20th that I am fixing my life so I can stay home with these boys.
  • ​Provide: Get a job and finally move my family from “survival mode” into a life where we can thrive.

​I am a good person who has made mistakes, and I am paying for them every day. Please, if you believe in second chances—not just for me, but for the safety of my partner and the future of these three boys—consider donating or sharing https://www.paypal.me/msshanii

Lost $150,000 to a Scam — Please Help Me Rebuild

After a serious car accident, I lost the ability to work and turned to remote jobs so I could survive. Instead, I was targeted by a sophisticated scam and lost **$150,000**—everything I had saved to protect myself during recovery.

The shock and shame have been overwhelming. I’m struggling to cover basic necessities and have no safety net left. This loss has left me scared and uncertain about how to move forward.

I’m not asking for comfort or luxury—only for help getting through this moment and rebuilding some stability. Any amount, no matter how small, truly helps.

I understand skepticism online and don’t take anyone’s trust lightly. I’m willing to answer reasonable questions and provide clarification where appropriate.

A New Start: Support for Our Family’s Relocation

For the past three and a half years, our family has focused on stability. We lived at the same address, built our lives there, and maintained a perfect record of being on time with our rent. We are a family of four, including our two teenage daughters and our three dogs, and we have always taken pride in being responsible and self-sufficient. However, a recent sequence of events has forced us to relocate, and we are now reaching out to our community for assistance in finding a new home.

​The situation began when stormwater from a neighbor’s property flooded our basement. During the process of drying the area out, the restoration revealed black mold. For our family, this discovery required an immediate move. My wife is currently on disability (AISH) as she battles Melanoma, a condition that has left her with only a quarter of a lung. Because her respiratory health is so compromised, living in an environment with any presence of mold is not possible. To protect her health, we moved into temporary housing immediately, which has created a significant financial strain.
​This transition occurred just as I had left my job to launch our own building maintenance company. We had planned to use our savings to get the business running, but those funds are now being directed toward the high costs of temporary stays. Despite these challenges, we are moving forward. My wife, a professional in the Addiction and Community Health field, is currently seeking part-time work to help support the family. We are hardworking people who are simply looking for a stable foundation so we can return to our professional goals.
​Our Current Goals
We are willing to relocate to find a clean, pet-friendly home. Our three dogs are fixed and very well-behaved, and we have the references to prove our history as excellent tenants. We are looking for a landlord who values long-term stability and responsible care of their property.
​To get back into a permanent home, we have set a goal to cover the following costs:
​$2,200 – Security Deposit
​$2,200 – First Month’s Rent
​$500 – Pet Fees (Common for multiple pets)
​$1,100 – Moving Expenses
​$2,000 – Emergency Housing and Replacement Essentials.
Because we had to leave so quickly to protect my wife’s lung health, we are currently facing high daily costs for temporary housing. Additionally, some essential household items and furniture could not be moved due to potential mold spores, and these need to be replaced to ensure her new environment remains medically safe.
​Whether you can provide a donation, a lead on a rental, or simply share this message, we appreciate the support. Your help allows our family to stay together and move into a safe, healthy environment. Thank you for your time and your kindness.

hole in heart, klinfelters syndrome,fasd=exhausted

 

Help a Family Fighting to Keep Their Medically Fragile Son Safe

We live in northern Canada, six hours from the nearest children’s hospital. Our son Skye was born with complex heart defects—a hole in his heart and constricted arteries—as well as Klinefelter syndrome. Without open heart surgery at five months old, he wouldn’t have survived.

I’m sharing our story because we’re in crisis, and I’ve run out of options.

My wife and I are both in recovery—I’m a recovering alcoholic, and we’ve both struggled with methamphetamine addiction. We’re fighting every day to stay clean and be the parents our six children need. Our kids range from 2 to 17 years old, and we’re a blended, mixed-race family doing our best in difficult circumstances.

My wife was born with FASD and requires assistance caring for our children. Our 17-year-old stepdaughter struggles with self-harm and cuts when she’s stressed. Our 9-year-old son has speech and learning impairments. And Skye, now a hyperactive toddler with a fragile heart, needs regular cardiology appointments we can no longer afford to get to.

Before Skye was born, I worked full time and supported my family. Since then, his monthly medical appointments have made steady employment nearly impossible. I’ve tried working night shifts to balance family responsibilities, going without sleep on work days. Exhaustion leads to poor performance, and understanding employers who once accommodated me have understandably moved on.

My low income put me behind on child support for my oldest child, and MEP (Maintenance Enforcement Program) has locked me out of government registries and taken my driver’s license. This has created a devastating cycle: without registry access, I can’t apply for Skye’s treaty status. Without his treaty status, we lost his Non-Insured Health Benefits when he turned two. And without transportation, getting him to appointments six hours away has become impossible.

We’ve already missed two cardiology appointments we couldn’t afford to get to. Skye is hyperactive, making the six-hour drive challenging even in a personal vehicle. Taking a bus isn’t an option—the stress and his heart condition make it unthinkable.

I’m currently retraining myself in digital skills so I can eventually work from home. With financial help, I could use the 20-30 hours a week I’d spend at night jobs to study instead, building a sustainable future for my family.

I’ve always been too proud to ask for help, but my children need me to put that pride aside. If you have even a dollar to spare, I would be deeply grateful. But please, only if it doesn’t take away from your own family’s needs.

I believe in paying it forward. Any help we receive now is help my family will provide to someone else when we’re able.

Please donate to paypal.me/shawnhinson141

I am forever humbled and grateful for any help.

Thank you for reading our story and considering helping us.

Please help, out of time and options

Hello, I am reaching out for help today as I have no where else to turn. I am a mom of three children. I finished my maternity leave last year and my employer wouldn’t allow me to return to my job due to a loophole that was created when I took medical leave during my pregnancy. I live in a tiny town with not many positions for jobs available. Since losing my job, I have really struggled, I have missed many rent payments and my utilities have been disconnected more than once. I have exhausted all my options with family and friends to help with expenses. Between rent and bills my debt has built up to an unmanageable amount of $12,150. The small amount of child support, and the little I’m able to earn working small jobs has not been enough to make a difference in catching up with anything. This situation has consumed my life and the stress is never ending. My landlord has been understanding but she has also reached her limit. We have nowhere to go if we lose our place to live. Any help would make a difference and would take a huge amount of stress and burden off of my shoulders, and I know my kids would appreciate having their mom back and not this ball of stress and nerves I’ve become. Any help will go towards paying down the owed rent amount first, then the utility bills and anything else left owing after. Thank you. Hello, I am reaching out for help today as I have no where else to turn, and I have run out of time, and options. I am a single mom of three children. I had my last baby two years ago and I finished my maternity leave last year. When my maternity leave was done, and I tried to make arrangements to return to my previous job and position, I was disheartened and shocked to find out that my employer wouldn’t allow me to return to my job due to a loophole that was created when I took medical leave during my pregnancy. I had to take maternity leave during my pregnancy because it become dangerous to the baby, myself, and my pregnancy to continue working at that time. I live in a very small town with limited options and not many positions for jobs available. As time has gone on, I have really struggled to maintain our cost of living. I have struggled to afford basic necessities, and food. I have missed many rent payments and my utilities have been disconnected more than one time. I have exhausted all my options with family and friends to help with my overdue bills and rent. Just between rent and utility bills, my overdue amount has built up to an unmanageable amount of $12,150. The small amount of child support I receive in addition to the little I’m able to earn by helping people with odd jobs has not been enough to make a difference in the amount overdue, or with catching up on anything. This situation has consumed my life and the stress has been debilitating, overwhelming, and never ending. My landlord has been patient and understanding to this point but she has also reached her limit, and she’s stated she’s close to issuing an eviction notice and pursuing legal action. We have nowhere to go if we lose our place to live. Neither me nor my kids want to move or lose our home. Any help would make a huge difference and would take a great amount of stress and burden off of my shoulders, and I know my kids would appreciate having their mom back and not this ball of stress and nerves I’ve become over the last year. Any help will go towards paying down the owed rent amount first, then the utility bills and anything else left owing after. Thank you very much.

Please help free me with your single act of generosity

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I appreciate it very much.

I’m a grandmother raising my granddaughter alone, and I’ve reached a point of real crisis.

For almost 2 yrs now, I’ve been stuck in a cycle of predatory payday loans that I cannot escape. I’ve tried everything – payment plans, budgeting & extra work to no avail. I am losing ..

They do not care about people, only about money, it’s outrageous to have to repay $525 for a $350 loan.

I do understand & realize what a huge mistake I had made taking out these loans & I regret it horribly, by not doing any research before I applied for these payday loans.

I’ve learned a hard lesson and I  want out of these payday loans for good so I don’t ever have to reloan from any of them ever again.

I can’t go back in time so I am here in shame & in humbleness  asking for financial help from anyone who would like to be the great reason my granddaughter & I will be able to stand on our own feet once again, without having to carry the burden of these payday loans on my shoulders anymore. We really need a hero right now.

To completely be able to free myself from ever having to reloan again I am asking for a one time financial help in the amount of $2500 (it’s actually $2458.43) this is the amount I’m always short after I repay these loans, hence why I have to reloan agaIn and again after I repay them, so that I’m still able to get everything we need for the month.

if I did not reloan right after I repaid the loans, my granddaughter and I would have to make choices between buying food or paying the heating bill..ect, ect.  because I wouldn’t have enough to pay every bill.

I’ts an exhausting, stressful & terrible cycle I’ve put myself in and am sincerely asking for help getting out of Please as I am unable to do it by myself. It’s just not possible.

If I am blessed by your kind and humble generosity in the amount of $2500, I wont be short any money after my repayment amounts are withdrawn from my bank.

I will also pay it forward when I’m able to.

I will not ever have to reloan again from any predatory payday loan place ever again.

My body & mind will feel relief, my shoulders will feel light again &  I will be able to start going to bed without carrying this heavy weight on my shoulders.

I will finally start being able to have a goods night rest everynight, free from worrying about these loans.

Life without owing these places for me & my granddaughter will mean freedom at last.

I’m raising & caring for my granddaughter by myself, her mother past away when she was only 7 yrs old, she is now almost 12) I will be able to afford the  things she’s been needing as she is growing quickly and outgrows her shoes fast, wearing shoes that are too small have caused her to get blisters.

Your altruistic help will change both our lives for the better for ever.

Thank you kindly from the bottom of our hearts for setting us free, you will always be the hero we will hold in our hearts & not ever forget you.

Help Me Close Half My Debt Gap: $30,000 to Get Stable

Hi, I’m a 30-year-old teacher. Over the 3 months a mix of medical costs, family emergency pushed my debt to $60,000. I’m not asking for all of it—only $30,000—because that amount lets me stop the spiral: it targets the highest-interest balances and the most urgent overdue bills so I can stabilize, keep working, and finish the rest on my own.

I want to be clear about what I’ve already done. I cut non-essentials, cancelled subscriptions, moved to a tighter budget, picked up freelance works, and called my creditors to request hardship adjustments. I’ve also built a payoff plan and set up automatic payments so I don’t miss due dates. I’m not looking for a shortcut—just a lifeline that prevents penalties and sky-high interest while I work the plan.

Once I’m clear and stable, I’ll donate monthly to others in similar campaigns until I’ve given back the full amount raised.

Interest is the part that hurts the most. By removing the worst balances first, I can cut hundreds in monthly interest, keep housing and utilities secure, and stay employed while I finish off the remaining $30,000 myself through work and a structured plan. Your help turns a losing battle into a solvable one.

Devastating fire and struggle.

In 2018, our family’s life was irrevocably changed when we lost our house to a devastating fire. In the space of an afternoon, our entire foundation was shattered, and we were forced to start over from scratch.

Five years later, we are still fighting the uphill battle of that loss. My wife and I, along with our three children, are a family of five who desperately need a place to call our own. We have been stuck in the cycle of renting—moving frequently, dealing with instability, and never having the security that comes with having roots.

I am a veteran, and like many who have served, I live with PTSD. For me, the trauma of the fire, combined with the instability of constant moves, has made the day-to-day struggle exponentially harder.

A home is more than just four walls; it is a safe haven. For someone managing PTSD, having a permanent, predictable environment is absolutely critical for healing and stability. Renting, with the constant threat of leases ending, rent increases, and neighbors coming and going, keeps me in a perpetual state of hyper-vigilance, making it incredibly difficult to manage my condition and focus on being the father and partner my family needs.

We aren’t looking for a mansion or a luxury property. We are simply seeking a modest, permanent space where we can:

Establish a safe, non-triggering environment for my recovery.

Give our three children the stability they deserve—the chance to settle into one school district, make lasting friendships, and have a yard they know will always be theirs.

Finally end the cycle of loss and temporary living.

The Ask: A Down Payment for a Fresh Start

We have saved what we can, but housing costs have soared since the fire, putting homeownership far out of reach. We are aiming to raise $80,000 to cover a down payment and closing costs on a modest family home.

This money will not just buy a house; it will buy stability, security, and a future where my family and I can finally heal and thrive.

Every single share and every dollar brings us one step closer to planting permanent roots and giving this veteran and his family the stable foundation we have needed for so long.

If you can, please consider donating. If you cannot donate, sharing our story widely is an enormous help.

Thank you for seeing our struggle and helping us finally come home.

We have 2 companies at the verge of closure, we need genuine help to get back on our feet and continue to put smiles on the faces of people. Now with a better strategy in place, our new immigrant program will continue to run while we also make good profits from capable buyers as well to keep the business running and not go back to the pit.
