Financial Hardship Help

Last Updated:

To my community and friends, ​I am reaching out today with a humble heart to ask for your empathy and support during a critical turning point in my life.

​My journey over the last few years has been one of extreme highs and lows. Not long ago, I faced the reality of homelessness after my husband left me for another woman in the midst of my deepest struggles. Despite that heartbreak and instability, I didn’t give up. I worked tirelessly to build a consistent job history, eventually meeting the requirements to secure affordable housing—a milestone that felt like the beginning of a new life.

​However, shortly after being housed while living at a homeless for 2 years plus the unthinkable happened. I was the victim of a violent home intrusion. I was injured during the incident, and the physical and emotional trauma stripped away my ability to work. In an instant, the stability I worked so hard for was at risk.

​Where I am now:

Because of my recovery time, I have fallen behind on rent and utilities for the next two months.  While I am healing and have several promising job opportunities lined up, the financial gap created by this injury has left me vulnerable during the holiday season.

​My ask:

I am looking for a bridge to get me through these next two months so I do not lose the home I fought so hard to get. Your donations will go directly toward:

  • ​Past due and upcoming rent.  3480.00
  • ​Essential utility bills (electricity/water).  225.00
  • ​Basic living expenses while I transition back into the workforce. 300.00
  • My total funding at this time is 4005.00.

 

​I have proven that I can work hard and build a life from nothing. I just need a little help to keep from falling back into the cycle of homelessness. Any amount, or even just sharing my story, means more than I can put into words.

​Thank you for your kindness and for seeing me through this storm.

Single Mom of 3 Needs help Please

Hi,

Where to start, I’m a single mom of 3 wonderful teens, trying to stay strong and hold the pieces together for them. I will admit, I cry myself to sleep every night, I worry how I will continue to provide for them?

I am an US Army Veteran and I’ve worked hard all my life to now have to struggle for reasons not of my doing.

How did I get here, good question. I’m also recently divorced! My ex spouse cheated on me for the last 2 years of our 20 yr marriage, asked for a divorce, made the 18 month long divorce painful and because I’ve always made more money, I’m the one carrying the full burden.

What do I mean by this? I’m trying to keep the home for my kids so it is less disruption for them while they finish HS. I’m having to give up 1/2 of my retirement that I’ve saved over 20′ years of our marriage, I’m still having to carry medical & dental coverage for the kids and on-top of all that, I still have to pay child support even though my ex has no bills, no mortgage as they are living back with their parents, they are getting a buy-out from me and 1/2 my retirement. The state laws are down right awful and do not take into consideration any leading factors.

The thing I’m worried about the most is paying my mortgage, I had to refinance for the buyout, while 350k is a-lot to ask for, I’m not expecting that full amount, but anything you can help with that I can put towards my mortgage is appreciated, my monthly payments are $2500.00 . Any and all donation will towards my mortgage ensuring my kids have a safe and warm place to sleep.

I appreciate you,

Thank you,

Single, Recently Divorced Mom

Help Kitty Get Back On Track

I am reaching out with humility and hope. I am currently facing overwhelming debt that I cannot manage on my own due to my small business of 7 years taking a hit at this time. I’m unable to bring in clients due to the economic downturn we are facing. I have tried so many avenues that are not working out and my debt is so much. I’m on the urge of giving up and feel as though this is it. I want in my heart to hold on to my company and be able to support myself.  Despite working hard and cutting back on expenses the debt has grown beyond what I can handle. I have explored repayment plans and budgeting but the interest and credit card’s continues to pile up. The weight of this debt has left me feeling hopeless. Each day I worry about how I will keep a roof over my head, light on and food on the table. I’m not asking for luxury, only for a chance to breathe again and rebuild my life. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help me reduce this burden and move toward stability. Your kindness will not only ease my financial stress but also restore my hope. I am deeply grateful for your time, compassion and generosity.

I’m struggling with car payments and medical bills, please help me.

Hi, my name is Abbigail, I’m 17 years old. I work a job for 13.75 at Pizza Hut and barely get 20 hours a week. I have to pay 250 in car payments monthly, and have to help my mother pay for groceries, and even sometimes, my cheaper medications. And right now, we’re really struggling. Back in 2021, I was diagnosed with severe depression, general anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and since around first grade I’ve been professionally diagnosed with ADHD. Up until this year, I always had state insurance to help pay for my therapy and medications. Sadly my insurance was taken away and I’m still not sure why.

But now, my older brother, who is now in debt, is struggling as well. So our money is going to him, my mom’s and my medical bills, my therapy, and now I have to step up and help pay for things too. But with my hours at work, I’m simply not making enough money. I know it’s a big ask, but even 5 dollars helps. Thank you for reading this all, and even if you don’t donate, sharing this with others will help as well.

My cashapp is $wagenknecht1359, again, anything helps. Thank you.

Need one time help to catch up. Senior struggling with expenses.

I have never had to do this kind of request for myself. I am a single senior and have just had multiple setbacks for the past 2 years. I had gotten ill in 2021, went backwards $20,000 and haven’t gotten out of that since. I do work, but it got to be too much. Tried the debt consolidation game in 2023, and lost even more. That truly is a scam and it costs you dearly to use one of them.  Somewhere in the next few months I will file for bankruptcy and end the stress of it all.  But leading up to today….

I turned 65 in 2023 while on unemployment from a temp job, and at that age point companies really do stop hiring you full time at a decent wage. So I struggled through 3 more temp positions, finally taking a labor job that paid more and full time hours, but naturally I suffered a shoulder and back injury so I was out of work again in 2024. As comp usually works against you, they cut me off with no notice stating ‘pre-existing’ from a injury in 1989. That was not true, at all! But that is what they do. And so it continued. I have been unemployed this year since September after a temp job with Manpower was closed early, and simply had not been called to work even after literally dozens of apps sent out.

All I would ask today is up to $3000 to get me through this rough spot, and continue my job search. I can stretch that with my SS for 3 months or so with hope by then to be back to work.   I thank anyone and everyone who would help. Absolutely any gift at all is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Asking for Help to Access Ibogaine Treatment for Trauma and TBI Recovery

I am writing this with humility, clarity, and hope. Asking for help is not easy for me — but healing sometimes requires community, not just endurance.

I am a college-educated engineer and artist who has survived long-term domestic abuse, complex PTSD, and a traumatic brain injury. I completed my degree while facing instability, including periods of homelessness. I did not stop. I did not give up. I kept building forward even when my nervous system, mind, and body were deeply impacted by trauma.

I am now seeking support to access ibogaine treatment, a powerful and emerging therapeutic approach that has shown profound potential in helping individuals heal from trauma, PTSD, TBI, and deeply ingrained neurological stress patterns.

Ibogaine is not an escape or a shortcut. It is a reset — one that works at the level of the brain and nervous system. Research and clinical observations indicate that ibogaine can:

Interrupt trauma-driven thought loops

Promote neuroplasticity and neural repair

Reduce symptoms of PTSD and depression

Help recalibrate the nervous system out of chronic fight-or-flight

Provide deep psychological insight and emotional processing

Support long-term healing when paired with integration and aftercare

For someone like me — whose trauma is not just emotional but neurological — this treatment represents a rare opportunity to address the root causes, not just the symptoms.

The cost of treatment, travel, medical screening, and aftercare is beyond what I can manage alone, especially after rebuilding from homelessness and prolonged trauma recovery. I am not asking to be saved — I am asking for a chance to complete the healing work I have already committed my life to.

Your support would directly help me:

Access ibogaine treatment safely and responsibly

Continue trauma and TBI recovery at a neurological level

Regain long-term stability, clarity, and independence

Move forward not just surviving, but fully functioning

I believe deeply that healing one person has ripple effects. With my background in engineering, creativity, and lived experience, my goal is not only personal recovery, but meaningful contribution — to others navigating trauma, and to a world that desperately needs healed, grounded people.

If you are able to contribute, share, or simply hold space for this journey, I am profoundly grateful. Every act of support matters. Every bit of belief matters.

Thank you for seeing me not as my past, but as my potential.

With gratitude and resolve,

Humble Plea – Recovering From Bad Decisions

I’ve always been a person to be very transparent, sometimes I feel I share too much, but here is my story which led me here. I’ve always been the fiscally responsible one amongst friends and family, so to be here typing this message is very humbling. In 2021 financial pressures and the weight of my family caused me to file bankruptcy. I had accepted my responsibilities and decisions and had been faithfully making my payments while managing finances, but as my financial situation improved the bankruptcy courts and trustees required more and more money, feeling to financial constraints, I turned to gambling. A temporary relief of short gain turned into a dark repeating pattern of long term consequences. Not having money to care for basic needs I thought the best solution was to gamble, and of course that was not the solution. I then begin to use money for bills and mortgage to gamble trying to get excess pocket money while I paid the trustee. This has caused me to fall behind on mortgage and be in a horrible situation. I have sought therapy, began medication management, and voluntary have added myself to the ban list for the casino but that does t help my current situation, and because I am in bankruptcy the lender is unable to provide any relief. I come literally exhausted of all options, feeling saddened because of my poor decisions and realizing the error or my actions requesting assistance.  The  total amount owed to avoid foreclosure is $8,700. Whatever is placed on your heart is greatly appreciated.

Emergency Help Needed for Hotel — Broken Ankle + Dead Car Battery

I never thought I’d be writing something like this, but we don’t know where else to turn. My boyfriend, our two dogs, and I are currently living out of our car here in Washington State — and with all the cold rain lately, it’s been miserable. The days are wet and freezing, and nights feel even longer when everything is damp and there’s no warm place to dry off.My boyfriend recently broke his ankle, so he can’t work or drive. Our car battery has also died, and since it’s a manual transmission, I can’t move it. We’re completely stranded, trying to keep ourselves and our dogs safe and warm.The small hotel nearby has been our only shelter from the storm, but it costs $150 a night — and we’ve run out of money. Without help, we’ll be forced back into our freezing, soaked car.  My boyfriend is set to have his ankle surgery this week and so we need to keep this room. We’ve applied for housing assistance and are waiting, but right now, all we need is help to keep our hotel room for the next month while we find a way forward.Every donation, no matter how small, helps us stay dry, keep our dogs safe, and sleep somewhere warm. Please, if you can, help us make it through this tough stretch. Even your kindness and sharing our story means the world to us. ❤️ Click here to donate

Help my furbabies :(

Please, I need $6500 (materials, labor, permits) to dog proof my yard for them to be happy, healthy, and most importantly-safe, and also chip the ones that have not been already.  My story goes like this.  I relocated to Ga from Fla so I could take care of my elderly sister with dementia (I’m 54, she’s 70).  I brought along my 4 dogs and 4  seven month old puppies (which I’m trying to sale).  The yard is fenced, but some areas of the fence are wood  and only 4 feet tall, if that, and the other parts are rotting wood.  Basically, two of my dogs have jumped the fence and escaped, so now I have to keep them all in cages in the garage.  I can only let them out for short periods of time and stake them when I do so they wont run off.  One of the pups was almost hit by a car running across the street when we first arrived.  Luckily three of my adults are chipped but I would really like to get the others chipped as well.  I try to catch the local shelter (PAWS) when they chip for free, but unfortunately I’ve had to work the past two times they’ve held an event.  I can’t afford to miss work right now.  When I was in Fla, I had the perfect living environment for me and my pets for the past 10 years (I also have 5 cats-all spayed and neutered).  Yes, I’m an animal lover!  But unfortunetly, I chose to move to become my sister’s caretaker and now I feel stuck in a difficult situation.  I put family first due to her health issues, but now my dogs are suffering.  I feel as though they’re not living their best life and some how I’ve cheated them out of their quality of life, because now all they do is sit in their cages all day  :(

Please help me, help them! I simply cant afford to do it on my own right now and any help I can get would be truly appreciated.  If you want before and after video/pictures, I’d be happy to share.  Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.

A GOOD MAN, NEEDS A HERO!!!

                       I’m here for my brother, recently he has gone thru some life changes that hit us all of a sudden. He’s been a carpenter all his life, for the last couple years he’s been able to pay his rent and basic needs from making and selling dog houses and picnic tables, As of July 2024 he found himself short of breath and it scared him enough to go to the  hospital , When he arrived they informed us he was in heart failure and helicoptered him to Spokane’s Sacred Heart Hospital ,they sent him home with his heart functioning at 17% which is what he lives with now and  every day . He wasn’t getting any assistant from social services or any program. We have applied for social security but, unfortunately, we are still waiting. Thank God for all the churches that has stepped up to keep him afloat. We have been blessed with all the help we have received but we have now run out of resources.  We been told social security can take up to March or April ..His rent is 925.00 and utilities approx. 200..Weve never been in a position to have to ask for help, but I hope this will reach those that find it to be a good time to pay it forward or happened to be blessed enough to be the hero in someone’s life …we like to think that we have helped those in need in the past and make a promise to pay it forward in the future …god bless

Grandpa’s Property

Grandpa’s property is the last piece of our family history that we have the chance to hold onto. I have an opportunity to purchase it for $50,000, but I can’t do it alone.
I’m asking if you would be willing to help financially—either through a loan or a shared investment—so we can keep this place in the family for future generations.
No pressure at all, and I will respect whatever your answer is. Thank you for taking the time to consider it.

Calling on Caring Heart’s

I genuinely thank anyone who takes a moment to consider my request for a donation of $1,400. Two weeks ago, my home suffered serious plumbing issues, necessitating the replacement of the sewer pipeline, two toilets, and my garbage disposal system. This unfortunate incident has greatly affected the savings I had earmarked for a family event planned for December 31, 2025. I have attempted to obtain personal loans and have reached out to family members, but unfortunately, I have not been successful. Therefore, I am now reaching out to anyone who might be willing to assist me in raising the $1,400 required to fulfill my obligations. Please understand that this is my first experience in a situation where I must rely on the generosity of strangers to hear my story and offer their help. Once a female soldier who defended this country in its time of need, I am now a disabled veteran. My only source of income is a monthly disability payment from the Department of Veterans Affairs; my disabilities do not qualify me for additional support from the Department of Veterans, as I have not lost any limbs that would necessitate housing modifications. I sincerely hope that there are still compassionate individuals in this world who will not judge or condemn someone in need of essential assistance. Best regards and heartfelt thanks.

Help to get out of debt for my family

Hi, I’ve never done anything like this before. In fact I’m usually not one to ask anyone for help. I feel guilty if I do, because I know there are people worse off than I am. I’ve dug myself into a hole I can’t get out of. I’ve managed, through a lot of poor choices and bad financial decisions to accumulate upwards of $16,000+ in debt between Installment loans, lines of credit, and credit card debt. I’ve been victim to quite a few predatory loan companies out of necessity and because my credit is too poor to qualify for any decent ones. I’m a single mom to 3 children, with one on the way. I took a pay cut in April to move to days at work so I could have more time with my kids. This pay cut also happened after returning from maternity leave, as one of my children is under a year old so I ran myself out of PTO at work. Myself and their father just split up, and I’m genuinely terrified how I’m going to make it so my kids don’t have to suffer. I’ve been living less than paycheck to pay heck since taking the pay cut because I’ve had to take a few absences at work for illnesses, oral surgery, and family stuff. Since I’ve run out of PTO I’ve had a lot of paychecks be short since I’d have to go unpaid for those absences. This has been the biggest cause of living paycheck to paycheck, as I’ve had to use lines of credit and installment loans and credit cards to keep bills paid and continue making minimum payments on debts. I’ve now reached such a point that between the minimums on everything and Interest, almost my entire check goes to these things. So every pay week I’m taking more money from somewhere to pay something else and keep things afloat. And still manage to buy groceries and put gas in my car to make it to work, plus pay for childcare so I don’t have to miss work for that. I’m at my wits end and don’t know what else to do. With Christmas nearing it’s become even more of an emotional burden, but not making bills or rent or staying on top of my debt so I don’t default on anything is overpowering the sadness I feel for not being able to give them a Christmas they deserve. My only hope is the kindness of others so I can get above water and stop drowning hopefully. I don’t want my kids to have to suffer because I’ve dug a grave I can’t climb out of. So far the only good I have going for them is that they haven’t had to feel the effects of my money problems yet. But I’m not sure that will even last past this week as I’m already short for bills and food and gas and don’t know how I’m going to manage breaking even. I haven’t even been able to have a savings so I have money in the event of an emergency because I’m always in the negative and overdrawing my account to pay bills

Car windows replacement

A Single Mother’s Urgent Appeal: Repairing Our Van to Get Back on Our Feet (National City, CA)

My name is Dulce  Rangel  and I am writing to ask for help for my three children and me. We are currently living in a shelter in National City, California, and we are working hard to save money to get us into permanent housing.

Our Immediate Barrier to Stability

We are facing a major challenge that prevents me from moving forward: my family’s transportation, a van, has severely damaged windows.

I am currently unable to work due to a stroke, which has put us in this difficult financial situation. While I’m focused on my recovery and saving every penny we can for a place to live, the cost of repairing the van is overwhelming.

We urgently need funds to cover two critical expenses:

Vehicle Glass Repair: The van’s windshield is cracked, and four side windows are damaged. This makes the vehicle unsafe, undrivable, and vulnerable to being towed, which would be devastating.

Estimated Cost for 5 Windows/Windshield: $1,300

Driver’s License Reinstatement: I have an outstanding $800 payment due to the DMV to get my license reinstated. Without a legal license, I cannot drive the van, even if the glass is fixed.

Total Goal to Get the Van Safe and Legal: $2,100

This van is our lifeline. It’s essential for getting my children to school, for me to attend medical and recovery appointments, and ultimately, for transporting our belongings when we find permanent housing. Right now, it’s a source of stress and a huge roadblock.

How Your Help Will Change Our Lives

Every donation, big or small, will directly go toward resolving these two immediate safety and legal needs. Getting the van repaired and my license back means:

Safety: My children and I will be able to travel safely and legally.

Stability: We can focus entirely on securing permanent housing without the fear of the van being towed.

Independence: I can drive my family out of homelessness and into our next chapter.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this letter with your local community groups in the San Diego/National City area would be an incredible help. We are so grateful for your prayers, support, and generosity during this challenging time.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dulce Rangel
