Help Save our House

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read our request.

My husband and I live in Southwest Ohio in a very rural area. Our home is at the bottom of a hill with a top of a cliff to the west which holds farmland at the top and water run-off. At the road to our North is a natural culvert, to the South is a small creek and to the East is a nice sized creek that turns into a raging river after a heavy rain.

We have tried reaching out to the county, township and state for grants for rural development and specifically for raising our home. Unfortunately,  everywhere we have turned, the grant funds have been empty since 2012 when I took ownership.

It was explained to me upon purchasing that I was far enough away from the creek to be safe and that the new bridge and dredging that had been have prevented any further floods. That was naive of me to believe and I soon found out that it’s not a matter of if it floods, rather when.

I do have Zone A flood insurance as it is mandatory, but we need to do more to mitigate the water and we would like to do it before the weather beats us to it.

We were trying to save ip for this to do it on our own. Unfortunately, we had a very expensive couple of years that wiped our savings and put us in pretty deep credit card debt. We don’t have any wiggle room at this point to refinance because our Homr Owner’s insurance doubled 6 months after signing a new policy, last year. There are no other agencies offering any better rates.

We have had to replace our well, our well pump, a skylight,  had the roof repaired in 3 spots, had to replace all appliances due to age and electrical problems (which have been fixed), replaced the cast iron wood stove, fixed tucking on our chimney, added a new storm collar to our chimney as well as other repairs to the chimney and resurfaced our deck due to rot. Additionally, our home is a log home, so we have also had to strip, sand, stain and seal the home as it had never been done since 1989. Cost of home ownership, I understand, but all at once was unexpected.

This was all on the heels of high medical bills from Kidney Stones, Physical Therapy, and all of the testing I have had to have due to my Autoimmune condition, Lupus.

I do work remote, full-time, but my husband is a 4-time failed back patient. He is permanently disabled and on a fixed income. With rising inflation, medical bills, and insurance payments, things are starting to get really tight.

Last November we had paid off our credit cards and felt really good about things, since it was right in the heart of the holiday season. Two weeks before Christmas, our SUV broke down. $3000 to fix it. Ok, life happens we thought, we are in a good place. Then, a week later, our truck blew a piston and the truck was in the shop for a rebuilt motor. As we waited for the truck, our daughter, who has a little one and is trying to get on her feet and needs a car, had a waterpump, belts and radiator go out-so we helped her pay that repair bill, $1,000. We are now into January, my husband takes the car into town to run some errands and lost 4 quarts of oil. The PCV valve froze and caused the head gasket on the SUV to blow. Another $3000 repair. Now we aren’t so good anymore. And today, we still aren’t.

We need help with paying for the following:

*Raising our home on stilts

*Mitigating water away from the house

*Equipment to help keep the creek clear (excavator)

*Polebarn to protect the Excavator and other heavy equipment/assets

*Paved driveway so the floodwaters don’t take ours out anymore

*Credit Card debt

At the low end of our request, we are asking for $30,000 to pay off our credit card debt.

The middle-of-the-road request would be to pay off our home so we could fund the rest on our own a little at a time. $230,000.

The maximum request would be $500,000 to fund all the above.

We sure do appreciate you for considering and helping us in our plight. We hate asking and we have sure been trying to not have to ask. We know there are people in worse shape than us and if we find ourselves in a position to help them, we will. (Last year I hand crocheted hats and scarves for the men, women, and children in the North Carolina mountains who were still living in tents and I donated them to a local church). I wish we could have done more!

HELP ME catch-up on my Rent!

I am 65 years old and still working to keep a roof over my head. Unfortunately, life happens, and I fell behind on my payments, and I am now facing eviction. Went to court and was given time to catch up. I need $3,000 to be paid by January 30th, then I will be able to proceed.  I don’t want to be homeless. Please help me to help myself.

I will be forever grateful.

Trying to be a Stay at home dad

I understand the title is a weird one to start asking for money. I have two kids with one being from a previous relationship and one from my current marriage. We are currently spending hours a day transporting kids from one sitter to the next or when picking them up from school and sitters house. One child is in school full time but the other is a newborn.

Daycare for just the one child is about $1300 per month and that is only if we are able to do drop off and pickup within operating hours which isn’t always the case unfortunately which then costs start to go up or we have to miss work.

I currently make significantly less than my spouse which makes more sense for me to be a stay at home dad for the time being. The downside is that in order for all our bills to be paid comfortably on one income we need to pay debt down. We took on a large amount of debt from the pregnancy which has been tough to pay. Student loans are now going way up due to being kicked off of the SAVE program that was canceled.

I am only asking for $30,000 in total which would allow us to pay off the $10,000 left for the medical bills. The other $20,000 would go towards credit card debt and personal loans that we have had to take out to pay for daycare costs and trying to pay down high internet credit card debt.

Being a stay at home dad with no household debt would be the best interest for my family and development of my growing child. I have worked extremely hard to build our family and have gone through enough setbacks and really want to get ahead and still be there to help raise my newborn. We are working hard to build a sustainable future but just looking to get a little help financially to get things into a better position for everyone.

 

I greatly appreciate any help that is givin and have the greatest utmost respect to anybody willing to help make this happen for our family.

 

Thank you

HELP ME SAVE MY HOME AND MY HEALTH. . . .

WHY AM I HERE ON THIS SITE VERY HUMBLY ASKING FOR FINANCIAL HELP?

A close friend of mine recommended I try to post on this site and ask for financial help because she could see I was beyond overwhelmed with my current situation and had nowhere else to turn.  I am here to very, very HUMBLY ask for financial help for dental, medical, and mortgage issues. At first I said no because it just seemed so foreign to me. I was raised to be strong and to stand on my own two feet by working hard to earn the money I need to live on.  We were taught to not ask for help because if we did  it meant we were being weak… and being weak was unacceptable! Given my upbringing, taking this step was extremely difficult for me but I honestly feel like I have reached a point where I genuinely feel like I have been backed into a corner and have nowhere else to turn because most of my family is gone…my parents passed in 2009 and my remaining siblings do not have the financial wherewithal to help me.  Most of the close friends and co-workers I had when I was working (with the exception of 2) no longer stay in touch with me.  I am used to working hard to solve my financial issues and since I am unable to work in a normal job… I have tried to find some remote side jobs… only to end up being scammed 4 times. I am unable to work in a normal job due to the progression of the MS and the fact that I am still recovering from 3 severe frontal lobe strokes I went through in 2022. I feel like I am way beyond being capable of solving these problems on my own so I gave in to my close friend’s suggestion to ask for help by posting my story on this site.

I have lived with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for well over 30 years now.  Due to medical complications and the progression of the MS, I was forced to go out on permanent disability in 2005. Fortunately I had LTD insurance with the company I was working for in 2005.  I was lucky to be covered by my company disability until I reached my retirement age. I was able to draw my company disability until I reached my full retirement age. My full retirement age happened at the end of 2025 so I was moved to social security disability when my company disability ended. Unfortunately social security disability is barely enough to make ends meet. I have genuinely spent the past year and a half trying to come up with a remote job I could do from my home but it’s been very difficult. Please believe me when I tell you I have done MY BEST to find fully remote legitimate side hustles in order to pull together enough money to solve my current financial issues but unfortunately the 4 side hustles I found ended up being scams and put me in an even worse financial state.

I have a BS in Computer Science but most of the technology I worked with is outdated and I lost the technology knowledge I used to have when I went through 3 frontal lobe strokes in 2022 due to a blocked artery in my brain. Once I get through completely healing from my strokes, I am hoping to dive into some technical courses so I can find a remote technical job in order to provide me with a solid legitimate second income source.

My first frontal lobe stroke was harsh… it impacted many key functions (mentally and physically) like the following:

  • Personality
  • Cognitive Functions (Planning, Decision-Making)
  • Emotions (Apathy, Impulsivity, etc.)
  • Speech (including Speaking/Thinking Intelligently)
  • Motor Control/Skills

After each stroke I had, I honestly felt like I was a toddler just learning how to do things all over again. I did not even remember how to walk and I had to go through relearning how to walk 3 times. I have honestly worked very hard to get back to my old self but I still have such a long way to go.

Please open your hearts to donating whatever you can towards the $36,000 I need to solve my current dental/medical issues and to save my home. I need approximately $20,000 to save my home and $16,000 for implant dentures.

MORTGAGE/HELP NEEDED BACKGROUND

😃PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY HOME 😃

After my strokes in 2022, I made the decision to live in my vehicle with the hope of saving the majority of my income until  I accumulated enough for a down payment on a permanent home.  I thought I could live in my vehicle for maybe 2 years and save everything  I received from my disability income until I  accumulated enough for a solid down payment to buy a permanent home. Living in my vehicle was MUCH MORE difficult than I ever expected…especially when I was also trying to recover from multiple frontal lobe strokes. I obviously wasn’t thinking clearly because it actually took me a little over 3 years to finally have enough money saved to buy the home I am living in now.   Unfortunately after losing my company disability in December 2025 I got behind on my mortgage payments. The mortgage company has been holding off on putting my home into foreclosure but I have to come up with a sizable payment by February 15th (to bring the missed payments and late fees up to date).  I have been unable to figure out a way to come up with what I need. Please help me with saving my home because I honestly do not want to go back to living in my vehicle again.  I just need some help with some finances to give me some time to get myself back in a place where I can get into a solid legitimate job.

DENTAL/MEDICAL HELP BACKGROUND

My dental health has been rapidly deteriorating for about 10 years now. When the deterioration first started I went to my dentist freaking out because I didn’t understand what was happening… I mean I was doing everything I could to take care of my teeth. He looked at me with such compassion and told me it was probably due to the fact that I have been on a ton of medications to help me deal with the MS for over 30 years and I am fighting a losing battle with my teeth because those medications feed into my whole body including my teeth. Many of my teeth have just started disintegrating, which then causes part of my teeth to just break apart.  I did reach out and purchase the best dental insurance I could find as well as afford. The sad thing is that dental insurance in this day and age no longer covers the kind of serious issues I have been dealing with…and most of them have lifetime financial caps. The one I could afford I purchased but it had a lifetime financial cap of $2,500. My cleanings were free and minor issues were at a reduced rate but I reached my financial cap 2 years after I purchased the plan. I have done my best to take care of my teeth. I mean I honestly do EVERYTHING I can to care for them properly but I feel so hopeless at times because it is truly like I am fighting an unending uphill battle!  It is truly very exhausting… and I feel like the harder I try the worse things get. Most of my meals are put in a blender first because I can no longer chew solid food without feeling excruciating pain.  To make matters worse I had a bad fall about 5 months ago and lost yet another tooth and cracked a few others so the pain in my mouth is constant now with or without eating. 🥲 Recently my neurologist and my dentist discussed my current situation and came to a united agreement that my best solution would be implant dentures. This is not  cosmetic for me…it is genuinely a necessity!  As of 2 weeks ago I am still a perfect candidate for implant dentures because I still have a decent amount of bone left (by the grace of God thankfully) but I am on a time clock due to my ongoing medical issues, the recent fall, and the many broken deteriorating teeth in my mouth. When I went to the implant office to have the scans done I honestly thought I would be told that I wasn’t a candidate for implants. But I received great news that I still had enough bone left in spite of all the deterioration and damage in my mouth. But the longer I wait the more I am risking getting serious infections in my mouth which could/would in turn cause serious issues internally in my body and could cause me to lose the bone I need to support the implants.  Please believe me when I tell you I have done MY BEST to find fully remote legitimate side hustles in order to pull together enough money for what I need but unfortunately the 4 side hustles I found ended up being scams and put me in an even worse financial state.

My current mental/physical state prevents me from working in a normal work environment… I still struggle with speaking and fully understanding many of the words spoken to me.  More times than not it is extremely overwhelming being around others.  I honestly need the ability to work remotely from my home. I struggle every single day to just take care of myself.  I am finally beginning to get to a point where I am starting to feel more like myself again but I still have such a long way to go… I also still have issues with becoming completely overwhelmed when I am around people because of my struggles with talking and especially with putting the right words together. The doctors told me I was lucky because most people who suffer frontal lobe strokes don’t make it through it. Well I cannot say I feel lucky because I lost so much.  BUT I am so very thankful I am still on this earth because it allows me to still have time with my children and grandchildren. I still have so much to relearn which constantly causes me extreme anxiety and stress. Even the smallest changes in my life cause me to become completely overwhelmed! I do best with a steady routine because I do not handle even the slightest changes very well. Getting overwhelmed is so bad at times it feels like I am suffocating… I do believe in God and I do believe that everything happens for a reason. There’s no way I could keep going without the strength God gives me every single day.  I am hoping I will get enough donations to reach my current financial needs. The implants will prevent the medications I have to be on (due to the many issues the MS causes in my body) continuing to cause the deterioration of my teeth. The current state of the deterioration in my teeth will start causing the possibility of infections in my mouth to move into my body. It could also start destroying what bone I have left to be destroyed. If I lose the bone I currently have…implants will no longer be an option. PLEASE help me stay strong and as healthy as I can. Also please help me live almost pain free and have the capability to eat normally again.  I am here telling my story hoping and praying others will be gracious enough to understand I am genuinely in a situation of urgency.

😃WHAT WOULD YOUR DONATIONS DO FOR ME… 😃

  • Cover the cost of the implant dentures which will prevent infections in my mouth to move to infections in my body… Getting implant dentures will also help me eat solid food normally without pain
  • Ease the burden of the stress, fear, and pressure I am currently trying to deal with due to the possibility of losing what little bone I have left which would ultimately lead to no longer being a good candidate to get implant denutres
  • ALLOW me to stop feeling like I am stuck in “desperate” mode all the time
  • Provide me with peace of mind so I can genuinely focus on completely healing from my frontal lobe strokes, allow me to focus on learning the technical skills I need to learn to be able to work in a remote technical job
  • Allow me to focus on getting back whatever I can intellectually that I lost from the multiple strokes
  • Allow me the time I need to become stronger, healthier so I can stand on my own by creating the additional income stream I need to replace what I lost in 2025 when my company disability ended
  • Keep me from losing my home and from having to return living in my vehicle

Monetary Donations can be made to any of the following:

Please believe me when I say…I am not just trying to get a hand out from others. I honestly need help  so I can get myself re-trained in today’s technology so I can find a legitimate technical job I can work from home in. I also need time to completely heal from the multiple strokes.  I believe that is the best way to get back on my own two feet and pay my bills without needing assistance. If I can get the immediate issues resolved so there is not so much stress and pressure on me.  The number one cause of MS flare-ups is stress so making this step to post my GENUINELY HUMBLE REQUEST was the only solution I could come up with because I honestly need help to enable me to get back to doing things on my own. I do not have the ability to get a loan because my disability income is so low. I also cannot get approved for a payment plan on the implants for the same reason. I also had my wallet stolen in the chaos of my 3rd stroke happening in a parking lot.  The EMT’s told the police there was no purse or wallet at the scene when they arrived but there were over 50 people surrounding my vehicle. My wallet had everything in it… all my credit cards were used and maxed out and there was some additional credit card and loan fraud done. I currently have a reputable company helping me with getting the fraudulent credit off my credit report but it takes time for those changes to make a difference.

In all honesty I have been working hard to find a completely remote job to replace the income I lost from my company disability ending in 2025. Unfortunately there just seems to be more scams out in the world today.  I GENUINELY NEED some help to get past this VERY STRESSFUL HURDLE I am up against right now so please open your hearts to this dire quest of mine. It will mean so much to me and I assure you it will change my life in so many positive ways… it will definitely give me the boost of strength and hope I need to get me back on track in standing on my own two feet.

I sincerely want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to read my story and for any way you can open your hearts to help me with my current financial needs—whether it’s a donation, sharing my campaign with others, or keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I truly believe that hope grows when we come together in kindness and compassion. And I believe in prayers…the bible tells us if others also pray together with me the prayers will be answered so for those of you who believe please pray for me and with me.  Also please know and genuinely understand that I would not be here asking for help if I could solve my current financial issues on my own!

With my sincerest gratitude,
Kat Pope

Mortgage Help

Hello,

For one I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and read my story 💕 My husband and I have been having a bit of a hard time. I know that everyone right now could use a little help generally. My husband is such a hard worker and takes such good care of all of us. He has had some unlucky situations with employment. He started working for a company that was up and coming and we thought we could trust them because they were friends of ours but as soon as it got slow he was the first one to get asked to leave. Unfortunately we live in a very seasonal area that is only busy in the summer. It is super hard to find a consistent source of income. His current job is just not bringing in as much as we would like it to and we have fallen behind on our mortgage. Anything you are willing to donate will help us significant and we are forever grateful.

LGBT JUSTICE FOR RENEE GOOD!

Seeking $500,000 anonymous donation to help bring about LGBT JUSTICE for Renee Good, to be invested in the queer community in her honor and without putting any more people in danger of the Trump administration’s scrutiny and savage attacks being leveraged by rogue federal agencies in order to hide the truth and intimidate those who threaten to discredit and undermine ICE or hold the individual perpetrator accountable. While it is impossible for Renee to ever see her wife or children again, and that wrong can never be made right, the underlying systemic issues in society need to be addressed, so that her sacrifice is not in vein. Despite what the Trump administration or ICE may have to say, this woman was clearly murdered.

This is despicable! No respect for the fact that she and her community owns the road. The agents are merely using a right of way, and entirely inappropriately went out of their way to create an armed confrontation and put themselves and others in harms way, into a precarious position where trouble and bad decisions were exceptionally easy and likely to potentiate when there was no good reason to. This is what happens when you over-exert force unnecessarily. It doesn’t mitigate risks, it potentiates it. As far as the agent, he put himself in front of her car for no good reason. As for the woman, she tried to flee and obviously did not intend bodily harm. It could’ve happened to anyone.

The agent even has a history of being struck by vehicles! Clearly he must enjoy it or he wouldn’t make a habit of it. New evidence has come forward. You can clearly see the angle in the clips. It’s absolutely murder. There is absolutely no evidence he was even hit or made contact with the vehicle so far. And the guy arrogantly struts away, obviously totally fine. Went to the hospital for some booboo ice.

100% of proceeds will be delivered directly to the front lines of the LGBT community marginalized by conservative nationalists.

A new life and chance to do better.

Hello. I am writing to ask for a little help. I am due to be married (Planning to save up for the wedding) in the middle of this year, and am uncertain if I can afford the new costs of living. I haven’t lived with my partner before the engagement, and am now aware of the rent, utilities, gas and grocery cost. Its quite a lot. I have some debt and a job that doesn’t pay quite as much to afford paying off the debts in a decent span of time. I’m not the type to job hop and am staying due to an interest and joy I take from the job. It definitely has potential but it’s not paying off enough right now.

The amount of debt is about $45,000.

I’ve closed the accounts that were a source of the problem and have stopped using loans, learned to use credit cards responsibly since then. But my credit is still in the pits. I’ve made some cuts to my overall spending

If I was helped, I would look to possibly become a donator on this site myself. I want to help others and am normally not one to ask for help. If I can get help, if appreciate it. Anything.

 

I have a PayPal down below.

 

Thank you for your time.

Recovery After Brain Aneurysms: A Mother’s Appeal for Help

I never expected my life to change the way it did. At 35, I was in school, ranking in the top 5%, working toward a future that felt stable and secure for my family. Then I was hit by a drunk driver, and everything I had built came crashing down.

The impact caused a traumatic brain injury, two aneurysms, and an emergency 8‑hour craniotomy. I woke up grateful to be alive, but the road that followed has been long, painful, and overwhelming. Recovery hasn’t been a straight line — it has meant relearning, rebuilding, and facing limitations I never imagined.

I had to stop school. I had to stop working. But the bills didn’t stop. Rent, food, utilities — the basics — have become impossible to manage while I focus on healing from something that nearly took my life.

I’m asking for help because I truly need it. Any donation, no matter the size, helps me stay housed, fed, and stable while my brain and body continue to recover. And if you can’t donate, sharing my story means more than you know.

Thank you for seeing me, for caring, and for helping me fight my way back.

Need cash by the end of today

So, I caught myself in a bubble. On the Instagram balisong knife market, one knife I have been wanting for YEARS hit the market, and it is the exact colorway variant I have been dying for. Of course it went up the month after Christmas, and I decided to get everyone gifts, so to put it lightly I’m strapped for cash. It’s a 500 dollar knife which to anyone who isn’t into balisongs sounds crazy, but for anyone who does know anything, it’s titanium so that sums up why it’s so expensive. I tried talking to the guy about holding it for me, but he wants to sell ASAP so unless I come up with the cash before this weekend hits, I’m not gonna see this knife again- to put into scale the rarity, this one is serialized as #70, and I’m pretty sure there are less than 150 that exist and I am for sure aware it hasn’t been in production for 2 years now. It’s either I get this one or wait another half a year for maybe another to hit secondhand market, I’m super stressed about it because of how badly I’ve wanted this model.

Just me and my girls

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I’m a 46-year-old single mom to a wonderful 12-year-old girl and a sweet 5-year-old niece. I’m also proud to serve as a veteran of the USAF/USAFR, continuing my civilian career as a geriatric nurse for veterans. I often feel overwhelmed and sometimes ashamed of my current financial situation. My biggest challenge is my student loans—I went to school with the hope of returning right back to active duty and having my loans paid off through that service. After two loans—one unsubsidized for $56,000 and a subsidized one for $29,000—things changed. I got married and pregnant, but eventually, I divorced from my spouse. I chose not risk deployments away from my daughter because my own mom left me for drugs. The changes I’m navigating, especially with the new student loan repayment plans, make me anxious—I worry the monthly payments might become more than I can handle. I recognize I have until now struggled with money, and I really want to understand why I feel this way. I try to help my family whenever I can, even when I’m facing my own debts. I owe about $5,000 to a sibling and roughly $50,000 in total—including loans and credit cards. My monthly payments for rent and my car lease are around $2,040, and buying my car outright would cost $45,000. My rental home needs some repairs, which I need to cover. When my brother was released from prison after 11 years, I didn’t want him to be homeless, so I helped where I could and allowed him to live in my basement. My children’s rooms have experienced normal wear and tear, like needing repainting, but unfortunately, they also broke two panels in a door, which the rental company says must be replaced at a cost of $820. My brother damaged items in my basement but hasn’t helped with the costs and gets upset when I bring it up that estimate was $700. I’m hoping to start fresh with my daughters, leaving behind some of the debt that’s partly due to my guilt of working long hours away from them and the things I buy for them to compensate. My daughter is also dealing with anxiety and depression, partly because of the costs of therapy and counseling, and my niece is with me because her mother is in and out of jail. Her biological father struggles with drug addiction too. I’ve had to take many days off work to care for her because she has conduct disorder and impulse control issues. Both of my parents have passed away, and my life has been full of challenges. Growing up, I had to step into a mother role because my mom was addicted to drugs but continued to have children. Sometimes I feel unappreciated by my family,Sherica Halland I realize I really want to focus more on my daughters’ happiness and well-being. They both want to join extracurricular activities, but I haven’t been able to afford it. For example, my 12-year-old was accepted into the Model UN program, which costs $2,500. I’m reaching out because I hope to get some help to get my finances back on track. Every day feels like a weight I carry, worried that one unexpected expense might cause everything to fall apart. If anyone is willing to help me learn how to budget better, I would be truly grateful— I’d love to develop healthier financial habits..

Support for a Student Working Toward Financial Stability

paypal.me/JuanitaReddix

I work hard and remain committed to moving forward, but monthly payments have made it difficult to get ahead and focus on long-term goals. This support would help me reduce my student loan balance, ease financial stress, and allow me to focus on building a more stable and secure future. While education helped shape who I am today, the financial burden has been difficult to overcome alone.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

Help me avoid eviction after the loss of my grandson

I really want two things: to lift the weight I’ve been carrying and to stand on my own feet again. I’m so close, but I need help to avoid eviction.

This is my first time asking for assistance—I have no one else to turn to. Putting my fear of losing my home into words is hard, especially since it’s tied to my mental health. I’ll be brief: Facing this alone is overwhelming, but readers like you give me hope. Thank you.

I’ve battled depression, anxiety, and PTSD from a tough background for years. It ebbs and flows, but this past winter, I sank into a severe low I hadn’t felt in ages. I shut down, missed work, and fell behind on bills. It felt hopeless.

Then, in spring, amazing news: My only child was pregnant! It renewed my purpose—we were thrilled. But complications arose quickly. My daughter’s health declined, and I missed more work to support her. She was nearly at the week of pregnancy where the baby could survive on his own without serious complications. But that didn’t happen. My grandson, born at almost two pounds, died the next day. My daughter nearly did too, and doctors said she can’t have more children.

The grief was unbearable. I couldn’t function, lost focus at work, and went on leave to heal. I’ve worked hard to improve—things aren’t perfect, but they’re better. Now, I’m facing eviction from missing income.

I’m behind three months’ rent plus late fees ($2685 total). I’ll be served court papers soon. I’m returning to work but won’t get paid for two weeks. I earn just over assistance thresholds and have exhausted other options.

This plea is my last chance. If someone can help, I’ll be forever grateful—it means a fresh start. In the future, I’ll pay it forward. Thanks for reading.

My request: $2685 (or $3530 including this month). Any amount helps.

Unexpected car repair

Hello. Who hasn’t been here, right? I took my 2011 Nissan Rogue in to the repair shop, because I was hearing a loud noise when I backed into my drive way. I’m very attentive to keeping my vehicle in good running condition. I’m disabled with lupus and unable to work. So my income is limited.

I took my car into my repair shop to find out what the noise was and to get it fixed. Unfortunately they found some oil leaks. They also said they believe the issue causing the nose was my suspension. They fixed the oil leaks and replaced my lower control arms, the upper and lower tie rods, and my struts. It was also time to change my breaks.

This cost was way out of my budget, but it had to be done. The only way I could pay for the repairs instantly was to put it on a high interest credit card.

I took my car home, pulled into my driveway and there it was. The noise again. I recorded the noise and took it back to the repair shop the next day. They spent several days replacing basically the entire front end to find the source of the noise and finding issues along the way.

I took it home again, and once again heard the noise. This time I had the mechanic come to my house and hear it for himself, while pulling into my driveway. I took my car back to the shop. FINALLY!! They found the source of the noise. It’s my bushings.

So here I am with my car finally fixed, but it’s costing me $9,489 and change. I’ve maxed out my credit cards and I will not be able to afford the monthly payments.

I’m asking if anyone could please help me pay for these repairs. I would be so very grateful. Thank you.

Retired Granpa Needing a Little Help

paypal.me/RonV52

I’m a retired handyman living in Portland, Oregon, on a very low fixed income. Two years ago I moved here to help my daughter with her new church and to be closer to my grandchildren. I don’t regret helping my family, but the cost of living here has become more than I can manage.

I also live with chronic back pain, which limits the kind of work I can still do. I have a part time Job now at Costco but unfortunately i need to quit because of my Back pain as I’m required to stand for 6hours and the pain is overwhelming. I budget carefully and live simply, but right now I’m struggling to cover rent and basic bills. My savings are almost gone, and I’m facing the real possibility of falling behind.

I’m not asking for anything extravagant—just enough help to get through this rough stretch and keep a roof over my head while I figure out next steps. Any amount would truly help, and I would be deeply grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for any kindness you can offer.
