Blank Slate to start my family

I am a 32 year old US Army combat veteran with a career now as a licensed aircraft mechanic. I make good money but I screwed up when I was young.

I spent years, starting at 19 and ending around 25 racking up debt with bad spending and supplementing my income with credit while I was in the military.

I now have a great career and a fiancé, and we are getting married next year. I want to give her the best in life and would love to have a child. I am struggling to get ahead of everything I am paying and feel it’s never coming to a close because of interest and so on.

I am asking for help in blank slating my life so I can focus on my family and things that matter to us. I am trying to get rid of $136,000 in total, that would reset everything and allow me to focus back.

We are Asking for a Miracle: Help My Friend Keep Her Home ❤️

My dear friend and her son need help purchasing the house they have called home for 10 years. A close family member rented it to them through an extraordinarily challenging time but must now sell it because of health issues. They were told to move out by December 31, 2026. We are asking our family, friends, neighbors, and community to help them remain in the one place that provides the stability and safety they desperately need.

It is a familiar, detached living environment that can be managed around my friend’s serious medical needs. Losing it would mean losing a decade of stability and trying to find housing that is both affordable and safe for her health.

My friend lives with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), which can cause severe symptoms throughout the body. Fragrances first triggered intense headaches, and in 1994 she nearly died from anaphylactic shock. By 2002, she needed a respirator to leave home. Her sensitivities now include fragrances, along with cleaning products, leaf smoke, certain foods, and ingredients in some medications. Everyday environments that most people can enter without a second thought can be dangerous for her. Her family has endured repeated loss. Her dad moved in with them after a heart attack in 2010. An old injury to her husband’s back worsened while helping care for her dad. Her husband progressively worsened with an increase in the need to use the wheelchair and becoming more bedbound.

Her dad passed away in 2015. Several months later they lost their home. A close family member rented this house to them. Her husband was diagnosed with tongue and throat cancer at the end of March 2023. A few months later the family decided on home hospice care. My friend and her son cared for him until he passed away in July 2023.

During that overwhelming period, my friend missed doses of blood-pressure medication and suffered three strokes. She lost the ability to read simple words, do basic math, consistently distinguish everyday objects, and find words. Online speech therapy helped, but she still experiences word-finding problems and dyscalculia, which affects numbers and spatial reasoning. She is on multiple medications including insulin and relies on her son for help and medication reminders.

Her son lives with chronic, debilitating migraines while helping care for her. Their two beloved dogs are also part of the family. Because environmental triggers can cause serious reactions, apartments, duplexes, and other attached housing units are unsafe. They cannot afford to rent another detached house and the estimated two- to three-year wait for Section 8 assistance extends beyond their deadline.

The most practical solution is to help them purchase the home where they have lived safely for 10 years. It would let them remain in a familiar environment, keep their dogs, and avoid the health risks and instability of displacement.

Our fundraising goal is $405,000. Donations will help purchase the home and cover related closing costs. Any remaining funds will support necessary repairs and future costs that keep the home safe and livable. Gifts of every size can bring this family closer to the miracle they need.

If you can contribute, every donation will bring them closer to security. If you cannot donate, please share this post so their story may reach someone who can help. There is no pressure to give; helping us spread the word also matters.

Donate here: paypal.me/Deniseforlynne

We are asking for a miracle made possible by people choosing to care. After years of illness, caregiving, grief and recovery, this family deserves the chance to remain together in the home that has carried them through so much. Thank you for reading, sharing, and considering a donation. Your kindness could give my friend, her son, and their two little dogs the safety and stability of a permanent home. ❤️

I’m in need of help please

I’m not one to ask for help, I have always been one to help others when they needed help. Life is dumping a lot on everyone right now and I know it’s hard. But I lost my father 2 months ago to cancer and he always helped me when I needed help. We found out on Thursday August 27th that he had cancer and he passed away not even 24 hours later. I myself have had Multiple Sclerosis since 2007 and I’ve been unable to work because of it. My dad always helped me if I needed the help. He unfortunately didn’t have any life insurance when he passed either and me being his only child made me responsible to bury him and such. I am so behind on my mortgage right now, I’m terrified they will foreclose on me. When I was able to work, I was an extremely hard worker. I worked as a CNA for years taking care of others. Please if anyone would be able to donate some money to help me get myself back on track I would appreciate it so very much. I would love to be able to turn around after getting my house paid off and open a soup kitchen for those less fortunate. I currently owe $42,000 on my home. I have tried several times to get apart time job but with my MS I’m unable to work even a couple days week for more than two hours a day. No one is really willing to work with me on a schedule like that. I have prayed and prayed for something to do just to catch up in life and my health isn’t allowing it. Please, please if you can help I would be so grateful! May God lead you in your decision to help.

Prevent utility shutoffs, maintain active health insurance coverage, and settle past-due healthcare balances.

Immediate Hardship & Funding Request

Total Urgent Need: $4,381

Primary Objective: Prevent utility shutoffs, maintain active health insurance coverage, and settle past-due healthcare balances.

I am reaching out to ask for urgent community financial support during an overwhelming financial bottleneck. My spouse and I are facing an unexpected cluster of essential living and medical expenses that have accumulated over the past three months, totaling $4,381. While we have sacrificed to keep our housing stable and our mortgage current, the surrounding bills have mounted to a breaking point where basic services and vital healthcare coverage are now in jeopardy.

Our most critical crisis is the sudden loss of assistance with our health insurance premiums. We relied on premium support through MADAP Plus (Maryland AIDS Drug Assistance Program), but due to recent administrative delays and processing barriers, our support has lapsed, leaving us directly responsible for covering the remaining premiums of $981 for the rest of the year. In addition to these upcoming premiums, I have an outstanding medical bill of $300 that is immediately due. Losing our health coverage would disrupt essential continuous treatments and routine clinical care that neither of us can safely pause.

Compounding this healthcare strain, our household utilities have fallen severely past due over the last quarter:

  • Gas & Electric (BGE): $1,600 (3 months past due, pending disconnection notice)

  • Municipal Water: $1,500 (3 months past due, facing service suspension)

Because we directed every spare dollar toward paying our mortgage on time to protect our home, our utilities fell behind. We are now facing imminent shutoff risks heading into the winter season, which would make our home unlivable and incur steep reconnection penalties.

Every dollar raised from this campaign will be deployed directly toward these non-negotiable living necessities:

Expense Category Amount Needed Priority Level
Health Insurance Premiums (MADAP+ Gap) $981 Critical: Maintains continuous medical care
Medical Balance Due $300 High: Resolves outstanding medical billing
Gas & Electric Balance $1,600 Immediate: Prevents energy disconnection
Water Service Balance $1,500 Immediate: Halts municipal water suspension
Total Requested $4,381

We are actively working on resolving the administrative hurdles with MADAP Plus to reinstate our ongoing premium assistance as soon as possible, but we need temporary relief to bridge this critical gap before our utilities are cut off and our insurance policy is canceled for non-payment.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will bring immediate stability to our home and relief to our family during an exhausting period. If you are unable to donate financially, sharing this page with your network would mean the world to us. Thank you sincerely for your compassion, time, and support.

A Bridge to November 30: Help a Pastor Get Back on His Feet

For thirty years, I’ve done my best to show up for other people. As a pastor and chaplain, I’ve sat at hospital bedsides, prayed with families on the worst days of their lives, preached through seasons of joy and grief, and tried to be a steady presence wherever I was needed. Ministry has never paid much, and I never went into it for the money. I went into it because I believe in caring for people.

Right now, I’m the one who needs a little care.

Over the past year, I completed a residency program to earn my chaplaincy credentials. It was a calling I’m proud to have answered, and it has opened the door to a new position that begins on November 30. That’s the good news, and I’m grateful for it.

The hard part is the stretch between now and then. During this same season, I went through a divorce, and the transition out of residency left me without steady income. I’ve been driving for Uber to keep things moving, and I’m thankful for every ride. But in my area, it simply isn’t enough to replace what I was earning or keep up with the bills and debt that have piled up.

I’m a father of four. Three of my children are grown, and one is still at home, and I want to be a dad who is stable and present for all of them. I’m asking for help reaching $10,000 to pay down debt and cover my living expenses until my new job starts, so I can begin this next chapter on solid ground instead of starting already behind.

Asking for help doesn’t come easily to me. I’ve spent most of my life on the other side of this conversation. But I’ve also learned, through years of ministry, that letting others carry us for a while isn’t weakness. It’s part of how community works.

If you can give, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a real difference. If you can’t give right now, I’d be just as grateful for your prayers or for you sharing this page with someone who might help.

With gratitude and hope,
Jake

Getting my brother into treatment

Please Help Me Get My Brother Into Rehab

I never thought I would be asking strangers on the internet for help with something this personal, but I am trying to find a way to help my brother, and I honestly don’t know what else to do.

My brother is struggling with addiction, and as his sibling, it is heartbreaking to watch someone you love go through something like this. You want to help them, you want to take away what they are going through, and you want to believe that things will get better. But the reality is that loving someone and wanting them to get better doesn’t mean you have the resources to give them the help they need.

We have been looking into getting him into a rehabilitation program that offers three months of treatment. The cost is $70,000. I know that is an enormous amount of money, and even writing that number feels unreal. It is more than our family can reasonably afford on our own, but we still want to explore every possible way to give him this opportunity.

What makes this so difficult is knowing that getting help can be a major step toward a different future, while the financial side of it feels like a wall we cannot get past. I don’t want money to be the reason we have to give up looking for treatment. I don’t want to look back and wonder whether there was something more we could have done to help him.

I am not asking anyone to give $70,000 on their own. I know that would be an extraordinary amount to ask of anyone. I am hoping that if enough people are willing to contribute whatever they can, we might be able to get closer to making treatment possible. Even a few dollars could help us move toward that goal.

It is hard to put family struggles out in public. These are things you usually keep private, and asking strangers for financial help is not something I ever expected to do. But when someone you love is struggling, pride starts to feel less important than finding a way to help them.

My brother deserves the opportunity to get help, and our family wants to do everything we reasonably can to support him. We know treatment is not a magic fix and that recovery takes commitment and continued work. We are simply hoping to give him a real chance to begin that process with professional support.

If you are able to donate, share this request, or help us reach someone who might be able to assist, we would be incredibly grateful. If you cannot contribute financially, I completely understand. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering helping our family during a difficult time.

I am doing this because he is my brother, and I love him. I just want to help him get the chance at a healthier future that he deserves.

We’ve got a home for him for afterwards, but the treatment in Prescott, AZ has changed so many lives. Help me change his.

Art Fund Wish List Stipend

Hello angels, friends, community and world. I am Britt. My full time restaurant job just pays the bills and basics. What will really help to achieve the next levels is assistance for Art Fund. Outside of work I am a 50+ multidisciplinary artist. As a younger woman time was well spent at Provincetown Art Association, Truro Center for the Arts, and in various artists studios. Some of the artists are self taught. Some are legacies of artistic families such as the Packards or students of the Hawthorne School.

Currently Mesa Arts Center, Phoenix Center for the Arts, and Maricopa County Community College Network bring life, joy, connection and opportunity to this aspect of my life.

I am seeking a $25,000 Art Fund Stipend for continuing education, tools, equipment, and supplies in several disciplines. For example:

5,000 for continuing education and community connection

5,000 for stained glass and glass blowing supplies

5,000 for welding tools and metal supply (shout out to Industrial Metal Supply located in Phoenix AZ)

5,000 for painting and printmaking materials

5,000 for a heavy duty printmaking press with felt mat

This is a tremendous wish list. Art is essential. Like many things it can be used in different ways. I seek beauty, joy, connection, expression and positive impact on community. The gift of stipend creates time and holds space for the incredible process of creativity. I hope this message finds you well and inspires you to sign up for art class. Thank you for your time.

Too hurt to work, too poor to survive.

  • 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.

My Wish: Finally Give Up Job #2

I’ve worked two jobs for more than 10 years, supported myself my entire adult life, and always paid my own bills. I’m proud of that, but I’m tired. I’d love to finally reach a point where one job is enough.

Every time I reach a new financial milestone, the economy seems to move the goalpost. So I’m putting my wish out there.

Consumer debt: $24,000

Personal loan: $2,725

Car loan: $6,995

Credit cards: about $14,280

I don’t qualify for down-payment assistance programs, so I’m also trying to build a $30,000 down payment.

Total wish: $54,000

I don’t expect one person to grant it all. Any contribution helps. Someone could pay off one loan. Someone could contribute toward my future home. It all gets me closer to working one job instead of two.

Just once, it would be nice to be rewarded for working hard, paying my bills, and doing things the right way.

Maybe someone reads this and says, “I’ve got her.”

Help getting my car back from repossession

I am asking for help getting my car back it has been repossessed . I fell behind on my car payments after covering bills related to my father’s passing. Trying to handle those costs left me unable to keep up, and now I am facing another setback that is affecting every part of my daily life.

 

My car is how I make money, pay my bills, and get back and forth to work. Without it, it is much harder for me to stay on my feet and keep up with my responsibilities. This is not just about getting a vehicle back. It is about getting back the transportation I rely on to work and support myself.

 

I have been told I need $2,450 to get my car back, and they are giving me until Friday before the fees go up. Any support will go directly toward that amount so I can recover my car and get back on track.

A Mother’s Plea to Keep Her Family Home

I never imagined writing something like this, but I am scared, exhausted, and asking for help keeping a roof over my children’s heads.

I was laid off from my job in February. I had savings, and for a couple of months, those savings kept us going. When they ran out, things started getting rough. It is me and my two children. One of my children is autistic, and his sensory needs and difficulties with food can make everyday life more complicated. Keeping foods he can eat available, paying utilities, and trying to put enough aside for rent became a struggle I could not keep up with. I fell very far behind.

I have a court deadline of October 14 at 5pm to pay what is owed. I have managed to come up with much of the money, but with the late/court fees I’m still $4,000 short. After that deadline, the apartments can begin arranging with the sheriff to remove us. That same day is my son’s tenth birthday. I want to celebrate him, but right now, I am terrified about whether we will be able to keep our home. I door dashed to make as money as I did but then my car broke down and needs a head gasket replacement but that’s a different problem. So, please understand that I am someone that also helps herself, I don’t expect the world to do it all for me.

I do not drink or party. My focus has always been being a mother and protecting my children’s well-being. I know what it feels like to grow up without security. I grew up without a father, and my mother kicked me out when I was fourteen. From there, I helped raise my two younger siblings into adulthood while struggling to find my own way.

I feel like I have experienced enough fight or flight for a lifetime. Still, I have tried to remain a giving, caring person. I consider myself an empath. When the world hurts, I hurt. When I was working, once a month I would make sack lunches and hand them out to people experiencing homelessness downtown. I could not solve everything, but I could make sure someone had something to eat and felt seen.

I have always worked and tried to support my family. I have reached out for assistance when I truly needed it, and this is one of those moments. I start a new job at the end of this month. There is a way forward, but I need help getting through the gap between now and that first paycheck.

I know many people are hurting. I do not believe my struggle matters more than anyone else’s. I just need a miracle right now. Any contribution toward the remaining $2,000 would help us keep our home while I get back on my feet.

I have always believed in paying kindness forward, and I will continue to do that. Thank you for reading my story and considering helping my family. Any help received will be received with genuine gratitude and appreciation.
