I never imagined I would be in a position where I had to ask strangers for help, but today I am doing so out of love and responsibility for my children. I am a single mother of two young kids, doing everything I can to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table, and a sense of stability in their lives. Right now, we are facing eviction, and without help, we may lose our home.

Until recently, I was working and providing for my family on my own. Like so many parents, I lived paycheck to paycheck, but I made it work. Then everything unraveled at once. My vehicle broke down beyond repair. Without transportation, I could no longer get to work, and despite my best efforts to find solutions, I lost my job. In a matter of weeks, my income disappeared, my savings were exhausted, and the bills continued to pile up.

Now, with rent past due and eviction imminent, I am terrified of what could happen next. My children are still so small. They need consistency, safety, and a place to sleep at night. I have no nearby family to lean on, no backup home to go to, and no safety net to catch us if we fall. I am doing everything I can—applying for jobs, seeking assistance, and searching for any opportunity to get back on my feet—but time is running out.

Asking for financial help is not easy. It takes humility to admit that hard work and determination alone are not enough in this moment. But I believe in the kindness of people and the power of community. Any contribution, no matter how small, would go directly toward keeping a roof over my children’s heads, preventing eviction, and helping me stabilize long enough to secure employment and transportation again.

This is not a request for a handout—it is a request for a hand up during the hardest chapter of our lives. With help, I can protect my children from homelessness and rebuild the stability they deserve. Your generosity would mean safety, hope, and the chance for a fresh start when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Thank you for any kindness you are able to share, whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply by spreading the word. Your compassion could truly change our lives.

I never thought I would be in this situation asking for help. I am 47 years old, a soon to be divorced father of two, have an awesome job as an emergency response employee (benefits/pension), a volunteer firefighter since I was 16 years old and have always been the one there helping others, donating, spending time away from my family helping others because I loved helping the public. Due to my soon to be ex-wife and I having such a distant marriage for almost a decade, I have made bad financial choices and racked up just under $134,000 in debt (credit cards, loans) and now I find myself losing each paycheck to owed bills leaving me actually negative $184.30 in my account. I have zero ways of getting another loan as I have 3 personal loans, maxed out 4 credit cards, and already took a loan against my pension. I am behind on my gas/electric bill one month, behind and 3 of my loans, and 2 of my credit card bills. It was horrible financial decisions that I have learned from now but paying the ultimate price of actually becoming homeless. Im so emarrassed that I do not have any family to ask for help or friends that could even help. Im on such agony that my mental health is not good as I go to the doctor bow becuase of this stress and thankfully my employment provides excellent benefits. I am looking for help as I am willing to pay back what is provided over time once I get all my debt paid off now. I can afford monthly payments after this debt is gone. Im a good man, thoughtful, and pays it forward. I have not been able to enjoy any day I wake up. Not even the simple dinners I cook for my kids who are teenagers or seeing my beautiful daughter all dolled up for her dances. I just want to get back to where I was so that I can actually not have to worry about putting gas in the car, paying for the car insurance, and not putting off not getting new glasses because my insurance doesn’t cover it. I do not go out, party or buy extravagent things. I still drive a 2015 Nissan that has been paid off for 6 years and I cannot afford to even get new brakes yet. I really need help to get back to my original life where I was happy, not thinking about would it be best if I wasn’t here anymore. I am hoping you can help with $186,000 to pay my debt off and allowing me to move into a townhouse or condo. Yes, I don’t need a huge house to be happy. I enjoy the simple things in life and know I can be happy with backyard firepits, movie nights, or even a visit to the lake. I love in a suburban area that is one of the most desired in my state where people move from the congested cities to be. I live in a modest home that is well desired around here. I just want my simple life back as my marriage is over and I do not like being the person I am today. Finances surely to put a toll on someones life that can have drastic consquences for themselves. I know now how to pinch a penby as I barely have any. Please help me get back to where I was to not help make me the man I was but to help others like used to without the financial burden. I have learned to not love above my means again. I truly do hope you can help me.

I am writing this with a heavy heart and a great deal of humility to ask for your support during an incredibly difficult chapter in my life. Over the past several months, my family has been navigating a major medical crisis. My brother recently underwent a kidney transplant, and while we are endlessly grateful for this second chance at life for him, the financial toll on our household has been devastating.

As his primary support system, I have been stretched beyond my limits. Balancing work with the demands of his recovery and the mounting medical-related costs has left me drowning in bills. Despite my best efforts to manage these mounting obligations, I reached a breaking point where I had to make the painful and unfortunate decision to file for bankruptcy. This was not a choice I made lightly, but it became the only path forward to address the overwhelming debt that accumulated during this crisis.

I am now facing an immediate and urgent hurdle. My first bankruptcy repayment is due on January 21, 2026, and because of my current circumstances, I simply do not have the funds to cover it. Missing this payment could jeopardize the entire legal process I have started to regain my financial footing.

Additionally, my primary source of extra income is a part-time job delivering groceries. Unfortunately, my car is currently in desperate need of repairs. Without a functional vehicle, I lose the ability to work this job, which is the only way I can currently bring in supplemental cash to keep us afloat.

My goal is to raise $5,000. This amount would cover my initial bankruptcy payment, the necessary car repairs to keep me working, and provide a small buffer for the living expenses that have fallen behind.

If I can reach this goal, it would provide more than just financial relief; it would give me the space to breathe and the stability to continue caring for my brother without the constant fear of total financial collapse. Any contribution, no matter the size, would be a tremendous help in getting me to a space where I can finally breathe again.

I really appreciate your consideration in assisting me.

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out with humility and hope to ask for financial assistance during a very difficult time in my life. This isn’t something I ever imagined doing, but circumstances have brought me here, and I’m choosing to be honest and ask for help.

My goal is $50,000, which would allow me to stabilize my situation, cover urgent expenses, and work toward a fresh start. That said, I am deeply grateful for any amount at all—even the smallest contribution makes a real difference and means more to me than I can fully express.

I am doing my best to move forward and improve my situation, but right now I can’t do it alone. If you’re unable to donate, I completely understand, and even taking the time to read this is appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and generosity. Your support—financial or otherwise—means everything to me, and I will never take it for granted.

With sincere gratitude,

Hello, my name is Stephanie Thomas, and I’m a diabetic and have been unemployed since October 31, 2025.  On September 8, 2025 I woke up and could not see out of my right eye and went to the doctor.  She performed surgery on my right eye as the diabetes affected my retina and had surgery to remove the hema (blood) behind my eyes.  Thankfully, I did not have a detached retina, and currently have eye injections every month to keep the swelling down, along with eating right and exercise.  The surgery and  healing process is still ongoing and was advised to file for SSDI by my doctor.  I’m still awaiting approval from SSDI which could take up to 60 days (March 2026).  Per their process and my work history it’s been verified I’m eligible for SSDI and awaiting approval.  I turned 65 on my birthday, January 1, 2026 applied for Medicare and awaiting approval for SSDI per my doctor’s order as my true retirement age is 67 and can work till 70! The doctor wanted to see how my eye was doing monthly, and the 1st month some swelling in the left eye and last month, it was better in both and see the doctor again on January 15th for the monthly eye injections ($125).  I’m currently unemployed and unfortunately I’m tapped out and do not have funds to pay the current month’s rent as I was informed by SSDI it could take up to 6 months before receipt of any benefits payment. I’ve been worried and a bit concern, as I can’t sleep, my cell phone bill is past due, I just recently purchased a used vehicle and if I can make the (3) payments owed they will move the next 2 months loan payments to the end of the loan if payment is made on or before January 14, 2026.

I am an extremely hard working mother of 2 that owns and operates a business. I have been doing this for the past 25 years. The past 3-4 years, despite my best efforts, have been exhausting to stay afloat to say the least. No matter what we do we are barely surviving. I am not one to ever ask for charity, as I am 47 years old and have worked since I was 16 years old, but I am at a crossroad. I work 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week and just cannot get my head above water. My ultimate goat would be to pay off our debt and start over at a normal 8-5 job where I don’t have to worry about money 24/7. I have given my children the best life possible and still continue to do everything I can for them and always will. I just want this weight lifted off of me. I cannot breathe already. I have exhausted every other aspect, basically ruined my credit, and just don’t know what else to do or where to turn. I have always been a giving person my entire life and will continue to do so as long as I’m able. I just hope and pray someone can do that for me in return. I know that I will never be rich or wealthy. I would just like to get out of this hole I’m in and finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. I hope and pray someone can help. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. God is good and I will continue to pray for me and my children and everyone else struggling every day.

Hello… I’m writing this with a mixture of hope and despair. To be honest, I don’t even know if anyone will read this, but I have to try. Even writing this post is a sacrifice, because I’m using some of the money we had saved for one more week of Dilan’s treatment, just to be able to ask for help. I trust that by sharing our reality, someone might lend us a hand.

 

My name is Beimar, I’m 19 years old, and the truth is, we don’t know who else to turn to. My brother Dilan is 14 years old and has autism, and three days ago we had to completely suspend his therapies. Seeing him distressed because his routine was disrupted hurts me more than I can explain.

 

My mom works tirelessly, but her salary isn’t enough anymore. I barely earn 1,000 bolivianos a month, and that only covers diapers and milk for my one-year-old daughter, María. I don’t have a single peso left to help at home, much less for Dilan’s treatment. It’s just my mom, my two brothers (Dilan and me), and my daughter. My dad left years ago, and my daughter’s mother also left us. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, but I can’t give up.

 

The doctors have told us that every day without therapy, Dilan regresses. His seizures are more severe, his progress is fading. Yesterday he spent hours agitated, unable to calm down, and all we could do was hold him in silence. Yesterday my mom sold the blender we used for his food, just to cover some of his medication costs.

 

We need to raise approximately $8,000 (about 55,680 Bolivianos). With that, we could:

 

• Resume his therapy immediately.

 

• Buy all his medications without having to split them.

 

• Pay for his outstanding medical appointments.

 

• Give him tools to communicate and regulate his emotions.

 

Every little bit helps us get closer. With $20 (139 Bs), he can pay for a therapy session. With $50 (348 Bs), he can get a week’s supply of his medication. With $100 (696 Bs), he can have a consultation with a specialist.

 

I know it’s a lot to ask, but we have no other option. Even making this post means using resources that were meant for Dilan, but I do it hoping that by sharing our story, someone will help us change his reality.

 

I promise to be transparent with every penny. I will show Dilan’s progress and personally thank everyone who lends a hand.

 

If you can help us, even just by sharing this, I will be eternally grateful. Dilan deserves a chance to live more peacefully, to progress, to smile without so much struggle.

 

Thank you for reading this far… and for not leaving us alone.
