Financial Hardship Help
Last Updated:
My father is soon to retire, and I would love to help make his dream come true. He has sacrificed his whole life to give us a good life. Now it’s my turn. He has always wanted to travel to Japan, so I’m determined to make that happen. Of course, I would appreciate it if you could help me reduce the total cost, as unfortunately, I’m not swimming in gold.

Hello kind-hearted souls,
I never imagined I’d be in a situation where I’d have to publicly ask for help, but life has brought me to a point where I simply can’t manage on my own anymore.
I’m a single woman living on a very modest income. I work hard, but what I earn just barely covers rent, utilities, and food. I’ve tried applying for loans, but due to my income level, I haven’t been approved. Right now, I urgently need a reliable car — and I have no way of affording one by myself.
Back in 2017, when my father passed away, I inherited his car. It was reliable and meaningful to me, and I took care of it the best I could. Sadly, three years ago, while it was parked, a lady crashed into it. The damage was extensive, and the insurance company refused to repair it. They gave me a small compensation, and I used that to buy another car — which I now regret deeply.
The car I bought was from someone who wasn’t honest about its condition. It turned out to be far older than I was told, and had clearly been poorly treated by previous owners. Since then, I’ve poured money into repair after repair, just to keep it going. It has broken down multiple times, and I’ve spent more than I can afford trying to patch it up.
Now, my mechanic has made it clear: “It’s a black hole. It’s not worth fixing anymore.”
But I have no car savings, and where I live, I need a vehicle to get to work and handle basic errands. After a lot of research, I’ve found the Kia Picanto, which is fuel-efficient, economical, and comes with a 7-year guarantee. It’s the most sensible long-term choice I can make. The full cost is 14,000€ — a sum that is completely out of reach for me on my own.
I’m not used to asking for help like this, and I understand that many people are struggling. But if you’re in a position to help — even with a small amount — it would make a huge difference in my life. You would be helping me take a step toward safety, stability, and peace of mind.
Thank you so much for reading my story. I’m deeply grateful for your time, generosity, and compassion.

Bonjour à tous,
Je suis Cécile, maman solo avec mon fils TDAH.
Je viens ici, pour tenter ma dernière chance…ce n’est évident même sur internet de demander de l’aide, je crains de faire pitié… Je me dis “Tant pis, je n’ai pas d’autre solutions”.
Mon souci est simple, je croule sous les factures impayées, au mois de novembre je vais être expulsée, car je ne peux plus payer mon loyer, notre toit, notre refuge…
Suite à tout ces problèmes je suis tombé en dépression sévère, après avoir été hospitalisé et essayant de sortir de cette situation, je tente ma chance auprès de vous…
Mon histoire est banale, mais reste très difficile à vivre, donc je vous en prie si vous pouvez m’aidez à me relever, ce sera une main tendue, un foie en l’humanité retrouvée 🙏
Toutes les participations seront un cadeau du ciel, qui vont me permettre de reprendre goût et fois en cette vie si difficile…De pouvoir garder notre toit au dessus de nos têtes.
Mon besoin est de 40 000€, c’est la somme qu’il me manque pour pouvoir acheté notre logements, toutes les banques refusent mon dossier, pas assez d’apport, trop de factures impayés, je suis à la limite d’être interdit bancaire et fichée à la banque de France…
Je vous remercie du fond du cœur, très sincèrement.
Cécile.

Goodday,
I bought a car in 2021 from the first owner, it was perfectly okay. My first car I could buy. The car was from 2020 a crossover Citoen , and he is named Jonsro. Until this date I have not been in a single accident thank god. However still the car is damaged because at 2 separate events people damaged my car Jonsro while it was parked in its spot. In all of these cases people just left me with the damages. The first event they just made scratches on several cars. For me on the left car door, amounting to $481. Then a week May 28th later in front of my house in the parking spot, somebody ran into my car scratching the whole right side of the car. 2 large scratches with dents. This seems to be a sport in our neighbourhood for some reason. Because nobody was decent enough to confess my insurance will cover the damages. But they will raise my monthly payments, and I will loose my no- claim discount. my Damages for that event is going to be $5431. So in total I have damages up to $5912.
I am riding around with a busted up car because It is hard for me to safe up that money. Being a single working woman.
Thanks for taken the time to read my request.

Hi
Two months ago, I lost my job, and since then, I’ve been struggling to cover my monthly expenses and repay my existing loans. My monthly payments to the banks are around $3,000. The financial pressure has become overwhelming, and I am currently in urgent need of $8,000 to stabilize my situation.
Finding a new job as an architect in Bulgaria has proven to be extremely difficult, especially in the current economic climate. Despite my continuous efforts, opportunities in my field are scarce, and time is working against me.
On top of this, I am doing my best to care for my young daughter, who is about to start first grade. Ensuring she has everything she needs for this important milestone has become an additional emotional and financial challenge.
Any support or assistance during this difficult time would mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read my message.
I’m not asking for the full amount back — I know times are hard for everyone. But if you’re in a position to help, even a small contribution would mean the world to me. Every bit helps, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any support as I try to rebuild and move forward.
Thank you for reading this and for considering helping someone who got caught in a bad situation.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

hi, my name’s lina and i’m currently 25. i’ve been through a lot of things in life but i always managed to recover, until recently. i had a car accident – my car, my only way to go to work, the thing i put all of my savings into to fix it, has been smashed by a truck when i was on my way to therapy. it’s not really possible to fix it anymore, so with my little savings and huge help on my friend’s side i bought a new car. it’s hard to get back on my feet, pay my best friend back for what they lended me to buy a car and continue my journey in therapy, now with ptsd. i just wish i could live normally, without worrying about being able to pay for my bills or guilt about being not paying my best friend back, who is also in a hard financial situation right now.

Bonjour , je suis un ancien sapeurs pompier à la retraite, au cours de mes vingt années de service, j’ai souvent fait le constat, lors d’intervention pour secours à personne, qu’il nous était difficile d’obtenir des renseignements concernant une victimes.
J’ai créé une application mobile qui fait apparaître un QR code dés la page de veille de tout téléphone ou tablette en scannant se dernier les renseignements apparaissent. C’est un énorme gain de temps qui peut sauver beaucoup de vies.
Avec mes années d’expériences dans se milieu,1,2,3 ou 5 minutes, font énormément la différence .
c’est pour cela que jai besoin de fond afin de faire vivre mon application, qui peut s’utilisé dans le monde entier.
vous remerciant par avance pour vos dons.

Hi,
I am a 61-year-old mother from the outskirts of Oulu. I live alone with my beloved daughter in a home that we built together to protect our lives. A house is more than a home to us – it is our safe haven, a cradle of memories and the only permanent thing in our lives.
In 2015, I dared to dream of something better. I had been at the same job for 21 years and believed that I would get through my mortgage before retirement. But no one can predict life.
Everything started to fall apart in the summer of 2023. I had to retire on partial disability pension due to back and hand problems. In October, a prosthesis was installed in my right hand, but the recovery failed. I have been on sick leave since then – for over two years – and surgeries on both hands and back are still ahead.
The final blow came in October 2024, when 30 years of work ended with a layoff. My income plummeted. And then – as if fate had struck again – I was scammed online in the summer of 2024. Loans were taken out in my name, everything was taken out of my account. I got nothing back.
Now I have accumulated a debt of 230,000 euros. I haven’t been able to pay off my mortgage for six months. After July, our house will go into foreclosure. Then there will be a forced auction.
Our house is everything to us. It’s the last thing we have left.
I haven’t been able to pay my credit card debts, the bills are in collection. I don’t know how I’m going to pay the upcoming cuts. I don’t know how we’ll even make it through next month.
I need 50,000 euros now – that would be enough to pay off my outstanding loans, save our house and give us time to breathe.
I am writing this message with tears in my eyes and a broken heart. I have never in my life had to ask for help like this – but now I have to.
If you can help – even a small amount – you will give us the opportunity to continue our lives. You will not only save the house, but the future of a mother and daughter.
Forever grateful ♥️🙏🏼♥️

Hello,
My name is Beatrice. I’m a 23-year-old student, and I’m writing this message from one of the most vulnerable places I’ve ever been in my life. I never imagined I would be in a situation like this—ashamed, scared, and desperate—but I’m reaching out with honesty and hope that someone might listen and care.
A few months ago, I lost my job, and everything started to fall apart from there. Rent, bills, food—everyday necessities suddenly became overwhelming. Out of desperation, I started borrowing money from fast-credit websites, not fully understanding the consequences. The interest rates were extremely high, but I was too anxious and ashamed to tell anyone. I kept hoping things would get better, that I’d find work soon, and I’d manage to pay everything back.
That didn’t happen. The debt kept growing, and now I find myself stuck in a terrifying cycle. I owe money to multiple sketchy online lenders, and the pressure, the phone calls, the threats—it’s all too much. I’m constantly anxious and afraid for my future. I fear I’ve made mistakes that I’ll carry with me forever, and I can’t stop blaming myself for the choices I made out of panic and isolation.
I’m not asking for pity—just a chance to make things right. I want to pay off these debts, close this awful chapter, and rebuild my life with more responsibility and stability. I’ve learned a painful lesson, and all I want now is to start fresh, to get back on my feet, and eventually help others like me who’ve felt this kind of despair.
I also have a cat named Marcy. She’s my little family, my comfort, and my reason to keep going. But I’m so scared that if things get worse, I won’t be able to take care of her anymore. The thought of that breaks my heart more than anything.
If you are able and willing to help, even a little, it would mean the world to me. Not just as money, but as a lifeline—proof that it’s possible to recover from mistakes and find kindness in a dark place. I know I’m probably asking for too much, but 4000 – 5000$ will be enough to help through these hard times.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Whatever you decide, I’m grateful just for your attention and understanding.
With hope,
**Beatrice**

Hello,
We are a family of four living in a home we purchased around 20 years ago with a mortgage in Swiss francs. At the time, it seemed like a smart financial decision. None of us could have predicted how things would unfold. After the dramatic appreciation of the Swiss franc and the financial hardships that followed in our country, Greece, our debt increased instead of decreasing, even though we’ve been paying our installments consistently all these years. Today, after two decades, our debt has barely moved. This ongoing pressure has begun to take a serious toll on our mental health. We have already extended the loan term in hopes of gaining time, but the months go by and the anxiety only grows stronger. We are not the type of people who ask for help easily, but we are running out of options. All of us work, but our expenses are heavy. We are doing everything in our power to keep up, but the risk of losing our home looms over us like a dark cloud. The fear of losing it is overwhelming. If we can raise even the first €5,000 to ease the burden of our loan payments, it would give us a breath of relief. If anyone can support us, no matter how small the donation, it would make a world of difference for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading our story. 🙏

Life has been very difficult financially. I work hard, but my wage is low, and it’s not nearly enough to cover the basic needs of a family with three children. Every month, I fall short. I don’t even make it paycheck to paycheck — there’s always something missing, and the stress keeps piling up.
My kids need school supplies, proper clothes, and the basic things every child deserves. I try to provide as best I can, but it’s heartbreaking when I have to say “no” to things they truly need.
We currently live in a apartment that we’ve called home for a while now. It’s not perfect, but it’s where we’ve made our memories. Recently, I’ve been given a rare opportunity — I have the chance to buy this apartment for about $40,000. Owning it would mean stability, security, and finally a step out of the constant fear of losing what little we have.
I don’t usually ask for help, but right now, I’m trying to do what’s best for my kids and their future. If there’s any way to get support to make this dream of owning our home a reality, it would change everything for us.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story.I know lots of people have the same problems nowadays but I would be very thankful for any amount towards my kids or the apartment.

Hello everyone,
My name is Nicolas, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart for my aunt, a 61-year-old woman living alone, who is at risk of losing her apartment—her refuge for the past 20 years. Her homeowner wants to sell, leaving her in a desperate situation. Struggling with severe, chronic depression and other health issues, she is unable to work or rely on sufficient financial resources, living solely on housing benefits (APL). Despite two applications to the MDPH, her disability allowance (AAH) has been unjustly denied, and her savings are very limited, dwindling month by month (especially since she won’t receive her pension until age 67, and even then, only the minimum old-age benefit). My parents and I are already helping to cover her basic and essential needs (particularly groceries).
Since this news from her homeowner, our family has decided to dip into our savings to help her overcome this ordeal and give her a chance to permanently secure her current home. Her attachment to her living space, its familiarity, and the memories tied to it are deeply significant. A lover of the sea, living near the Mediterranean is vital for her to maintain even a small sense of joy 💙. To achieve this goal, we are turning to your support. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference and allow my aunt to continue living with the dignity and peace of mind she so deserves.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and for sharing this fundraiser with others. Together, let’s give her hope for a better future, free from the constant threat hanging over her head 💙.
With our deepest gratitude, Nicolas and his family 🙏💙 .

I am 22 years old, got a house half a year ago and I went into €12,000 of debt because of a hailstorm… Hailstones, some as large as tennis balls, destroyed parts of my home, shattered windows, broke the roof tiles, dented the siding, and broke a skylight. My car was also badly damaged.
The repairs added up too fast. Roof replacement was around €7,000. Windows and skylight came to €2,300. The rest was for the siding repair, car windshield, bonnet and roof replacement and cleanup which added up to a little over €12,000 and that is money that I simply do not have. I work security which pays minimum wage and I am barely getting through the month as it is, now with all of these expenses, I am and will be going through the coming months/years with my bank account in the red.
I’ve tried my best to cover the costs using my savings, borrowing money from my aunt and my friends mom but so far I’ve only been able to cover €3,4k and my options have ran out. I am barely able to make the monthly payments for the expenses for repairs.
All I want is to pay this off and be able to breathe again, take my family to dinner and get my life back on track and I simply won’t be able to do that for the foreseeable future due to all of these payments.
If you read this and you decide to help me with all of this then I will be forever grateful to you for taking the time and helping me out. And it doesn’t matter whether how much you decide to contribute to this, every little bit will be a weight lifted from my shoulders.
To anyone who decides to help me out my PayPal is:
Thank you once again to anyone who read this or decided to contribute.

Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out today with an open heart, hoping that some kind souls might be willing to help me through a very difficult chapter of my life.
I’m 24 years old. Over the past few years, I’ve done everything I could to support the people I love. I helped my mom financially, supported my grandmother, and took full responsibility for my former partner who wasn’t working at the time. I gave everything I had, and when that wasn’t enough, I took out a loan.
Now, I’m left with €23,000 in debt, and I’m paying €500 every month just to keep up with the repayments. With a monthly income of only €1,600, between rent, groceries, helping family, and this loan — I’m barely surviving. I often end the month in the red, unable to save anything or breathe financially.
I’m not trying to run away from my responsibilities — I take full ownership of my choices. But I’m at a point where I need a hand to get back on track. My dream is simple: to start fresh, to be able to save money, invest in my future, and finally live with some peace of mind — like any young person should be able to.
If you’re in a position to help, in any way — even just a little — it would mean the world to me. Every donation, big or small, is a step closer to freedom and stability.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to anyone who reads this, and even more to those who choose to help. Whether you’re wealthy or not, it’s the kindness behind the gesture that truly matters — and I will never forget it.
