Help Deaf Voices Be Heard

Hello, I’m Deaf, and I want to help close this gap by creating an accessible video podcast with Sign Language, spoken English, interpretation and captions.

Help Make Podcasts Accessible to the Deaf Community

Imagine finding a conversation that could help you understand your mental health, navigate a difficult relationship or rebuild your confidence, only to discover you cannot access it. No captions. No Sign Language. No way to follow what is being said.

For many Deaf people, this is an everyday barrier.

Hearing audiences can choose from thousands of podcasts about almost every part of life. Yet many creators produce these conversations without Sign Language or accurate captions. Deaf people are left out of information, advice and stories that others can access whenever they need them.

The conversation moves forward. Deaf people are left waiting for access.

These barriers extend far beyond podcasts. Deaf people navigate communication challenges in healthcare, education, workplaces and everyday interactions. Having to repeatedly ask for access is exhausting. Being excluded from conversations can deepen isolation, especially when someone is already struggling and looking for understanding or support.

Captions matter, but they are only part of accessibility. Sign Language is a language in its own right. Access to conversations in Sign Language gives Deaf signers the opportunity to engage in their own language, with the expression, detail and connection that brings.

The topics will be simple, human and relevant: mental health, personal growth, relationships, wellbeing and everyday life. Experts will share accessible explanations, and guests will bring honest stories that help viewers feel less alone.

Deaf people will have space to speak for themselves about the barriers they face, their achievements and the experiences that rarely reach a wider audience. Deaf and hearing guests will come together to exchange perspectives, creating opportunities for understanding on both sides.

This is about having an equal opportunity to learn, connect and be included.

A London podcast studio has recognised the importance of this project and offered 50% off a package covering studio time and editing. Their support brings this vision closer, but funding is still needed for production, interpretation and captioning.

Your donation would help turn that opportunity into accessible episodes. It would support the work needed to make each conversation available to Deaf and hearing viewers from the moment it is released.

Feedback from Deaf viewers will help shape the podcast, ensuring that accessibility and the community’s needs remain central as it grows.

Deaf people deserve access without having to ask for it every time. Please help create a space where that access is already there. You can donate to the project using the link below.

Need to make my family happy again

My family and I are going through a very difficult time, and I feel I have no choice but to reach out and ask for help. Life has been challenging ever since my father passed away. His loss left not only an emotional gap in our lives but also a heavy financial burden that my mother has been carrying alone. She works very hard to keep us together, but she is also suffering from depression, which makes everything even more painful. Her monthly salary is only 75,000 LKR, while our family needs around 250,000 LKR each month to survive. Because of this, we have been depending on loans, which only makes our situation worse.
We are a small family, but each of us has big responsibilities. My sister is in university and must pay both her campus fees and her boarding house expenses. She works hard toward her education, but the costs are too high for us to manage. I am still a student myself, and I need to pay for my classes and educational needs. At the same time, my grandmother lives with us. She is suffering from dementia, which means she needs medicine and proper care every single day. Watching her struggle without always being able to provide everything she needs is heartbreaking.
When we add all these responsibilities together, the monthly expenses grow far beyond what we can afford. Even though my mother does her best with her income, it is nowhere near enough to cover all the costs. We are left with constant stress, debt, and the fear of not being able to continue our studies or care for our grandmother properly.
I am sharing my story with the hope that kind people might be willing to support us. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. Your help will go directly to education fees, medicine for my grandmother, and the basic daily needs of my family. It will bring us relief and give us hope that we can keep moving forward despite all the challenges we are facing.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my situation. Your kindness and generosity will mean more to me and my family than I can put into words.

EMPOWER CHILDREN THROUGH DIGITAL EDUCATION

QUICK CODES TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE

Empowering Children Through Digital Education

Tanzania is a developing country where many families continue to face economic challenges that limit access to quality education and modern technology. Although computers and digital skills have become essential for education, employment, innovation, and economic development, many children especially those from low-income families and public schools still have limited access to computer education.

The Quick Codes Technology Initiative was created in response to this challenge and is also inspired by personal experience. Growing up in difficult circumstances, I experienced challenges including long distances to school, shortages of teachers, and inadequate learning materials. As a child, I wanted to learn computer skills, but the cost of training was too high for my family. Computers were considered a luxury rather than an essential educational tool. It took many years before I could afford computer training and eventually own a computer.

This experience motivated me to create an opportunity for children to access technology regardless of their economic background.

The Quick Codes Technology Initiative will provide free computer and technology education to children aged 5–17 years, beginning in Igoma, Mwanza City, Tanzania. The center will introduce children to computers from basic digital literacy and progressively develop their skills in coding, programming, robotics, web development, digital creativity, problem-solving, and other areas of computer science.

The initiative aims to help children become confident technology users, creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and future innovators. Technology can provide opportunities in fields such as engineering, agriculture, healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, robotics, and scientific research.

To establish the center, we estimate that more than USD 80,000 will be required. Funding will support the purchase of at least 100 computers, laboratory equipment, furniture, internet connectivity, learning materials, office facilities, electricity, building rental, and staff allowances.

We invite individuals, companies, foundations, development partners, and technology organizations to support this initiative through financial contributions, computers and equipment, internet services, educational materials, technical expertise, or volunteering.

Quick Codes Technology Initiative is more than a computer center. It is a place where dreams are born, talents are discovered, creativity is nurtured, and future African innovators are empowered. Together, we can bridge the digital divide and give children the technological skills they need to build a better future.

Help Jerry Create and Inspire with New Tools

For a long time, I wondered why I was left alive after my accident. I knew how easily my life could have ended, but I survived, and for years I didn’t really know what I was supposed to do with that.
Before my accident, I was an auto technician. I loved figuring out how things worked, fixing problems, and especially helping people. There was a good feeling that came from taking something that wasn’t working and finding a way to make it work again. Looking back, maybe that part of me never went away. The tools just changed.
Now I’m learning how technology can give some independence back to people who have lost it. Using a computer, photo editing with Luminar Neo, assistive equipment like the QuadLife mouse, voice control, and environmental controls gives me abilities that my body no longer gives me on its own. I want to keep improving my setup and eventually show other handicapped people what is possible.
I would love to start a YouTube channel showing how I use Luminar Neo with the new functions of the QuadLife mouse, not just to edit photographs, but to show what somebody with very limited physical movement can still create and accomplish. If something I learn makes another person’s day a little easier, gives them more independence, or helps them discover something they thought they could no longer do, then everything I have learned has a purpose.
Maybe I was left alive for a reason. I spent much of my life as a technician helping people solve mechanical problems. Maybe this is simply another version of that same job. Instead of fixing cars, maybe now I can use my experience, creativity, and the technology available to me to help people like myself become a little more independent and feel a little more able-bodied.
I don’t know for certain if this is the reason I’m still here.
But maybe this is it.

Unemployed RN needs about $10,000 for starting own business and for spending money on upcoming Caribbean Cruise

Hi. I am an unemployed RN. I’ve been unemployed for almost a year, and I’m either getting scammed (unsuccessfully, thank God). It’s always been a struggle for me to keep a job because I have Neural-divergent Adult ADHD, Combined Type. This is a serious handicap in getting and keeping a job. I also suffer Major Depressive Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety. With all of these problems mixed into the soup with my physical disorders, going through a single job interview is crippling, even when I’ve practiced, and hired a resume writer.

My husband has a good job, and he gives me $500 per month as an allowance, and refuses to “donate” financially to the jewelry-making business I am trying to start.

I make up-cycled jewelry (really pretty pieces made of anything from springs, hex nuts, fender washers, and soda tabs just to name a few). There is a machine that would improve the speed of production of and increase the types of projects I make.

I try to explain to him (every time that he “reminds” me) that I’m starting to encroach into next month’s allowance, and that I won’t have anything for our cruise coming up in February that was booked and paid for before losing my job.

He rarely gets our two sons, aged 7 and 12 years, anything because “its a waste of money.” I had to get his parents, who used to be frequent cruisers, to book the stateroom I wanted, and he caved.

But what fun is something like an exotic cruise, where I can teach my sons about conservation, ecosystems, and different cultures if I have no money to spend on them to buy exotic things both to remember this vacation, and to enjoy. I also love to buy at least a t-shirt from each port of call, as well as exotic, multicultural things that I fall in love with and want to take home and show my friends.

He also never believes me when I tell him that it is a proven fact that women’s clothing is way more expensive than men’s. I recently lost 70 pounds (on purpose), and now have to replace all of my wardrobe with part of that $500 per month allowance.

Simply just writing this request makes me a wreck because I’m afraid people won’t donate money to a woman going on a cruise, that from what I’ve been reading, you spend more money on the ship (The Legend of the Seas) than you do on shore.

I’m sorry this is so long…hopefully some of you have stuck around long enough for the end of this.

The cruise may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  I kind of want all of thrills, family memories, and things to bring home as possible.

Probably $7,000 will go to my business, and $3,000 to the cruise.

From Disabled Shut-In to Free | Six Years In, on the Final Stretch

Help Me Finish the Home I Built With My Own Two Hands — I’m So Close

I’m turning 67 this August, and I’m asking for your help to close the final gap on something I’ve been building for years, piece by piece, out of necessity and hope.

The day Covid shut down San Diego, I had been homebound for 14 years. I was a disabled shut-in, confined mostly to four walls, my body never telling me from one hour to the next how long I could sit, stand, walk, or bend before pain would take over. The rent had gone up, drastically, more than I could afford, and I lost the home I’d lived in for 20 years. I had to act fast. I chose to build a RV van and become a nomad, because a van meant I could take my home with me anywhere and I wouldn’t have to be homebound.

That decision saved me. Van life has been a godsend for my mental health in a way I couldn’t have predicted. I found a local van life community, genuine, grounded people and made real friends for the first time in years. I am not the same severely depressed isolated person that I was.

I’ve come so far already. I sold everything I owned, saved the stimulus money and saved from not having to pay rent (while at my sister’s), In 2022, I was able to buy a $10,000 high-top Chevy van, and with the left over money, I was able to have insulation and flooring installed. Homes on Wheels Alliance gifted me a solar system, a bed platform, and reflectix for the windows. San Diego Good Guys gifted me a bench with a table and a heater. A Craigslist woman donated a barely-used Tempurpedic mattress. Fast-forward to 2026, I just had one and a half walls installed and a kitchen cabinet with countertop. Every piece has brought this space closer to being a real livable and safe home.

But right now, my remaining wall and two doors are still bare. I don’t have a sink or a place to wash up. My windows don’t have proper covers, which means no real insulation against the cold. Every week that passes without these finished is another week I’m living in a half-built shell instead of a home and at 66, with a body that doesn’t wait for anyone, I don’t have years to spare to get this done slowly.

I need $2,700 right now to finish it:

  • The remaining walls and doors, covered in painted wood to match what’s already done
  • A small sink and cabinet, so I finally have somewhere to wash up and brush my teeth
  • Proper window covers, for insulation, and warmth

I’m also asking for $2,500 as an emergency repair fund.  This van isn’t just my home, it’s my only way to get anywhere. If it breaks down, I’m not inconvenienced, I’m stranded. That fund is the difference between an inconvenience and a crisis.

I’ve done everything I can on my own to get this far. What’s left isn’t luxury, it isn’t $100,000 van. It is the last stretch between where I am now and a home that’s actually finished, actually safe, actually mine. I’m asking you to help me close that gap now, while I still have the strength to finish what I started. Any donation, regardless of the amount will bring me one step closer to having a real home. Thank you for reading my story, and thank you, from the bottom of my heart, if you’re able to help.

Help Me Make My Dream of Retiring at 55 a Reality

If you’ve taken a moment to read this, thank you. Asking for help isn’t something that comes naturally to me, but I’ve learned that sometimes dreams are built one act of kindness at a time.

My life hasn’t followed the path I imagined.

Until I was 35 years old, I lived below the poverty line and relied on social assistance. I worked hard to change my circumstances, determined to build a better future. Over the years, I did just that. I helped build a successful siding company with my husband, and for the first time in my life, I believed retirement could someday become a reality.

Three years ago, after 15 years of marriage, I made the heartbreaking decision to leave and start over. Walking away meant leaving behind everything we had built together.

Then, two years ago, my ex-husband unexpectedly passed away. His estate was divided among our children, as it should have been, and I found myself beginning again with nothing but hope and determination.

Today, I own a home that I’m incredibly proud of, but the mortgage alone consumes nearly half of my monthly take-home pay. Like many people who have had to rebuild their lives later in life, I don’t have retirement savings waiting for me.

I turn 55 in just over two years, and for as long as I can remember, my dream has been to retire while I’m still young enough to experience the world.

Sadly, my body reminds me every day that time is precious. I struggle with significant knee and leg problems, and there are days when simply walking is difficult. I don’t know how many years I’ll have where travel is physically possible, and I don’t want to wait until it’s too late.

I’m not asking for money so I can stop working.

My plan is to earn my Travel Agent certification, launch my own online travel business, and continue working while I travel. I want to build a business that lets me earn an income from anywhere and remain independent for years to come.

If you’ve ever believed in second chances, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Whether it’s $5, $20, or simply sharing this page, every bit brings me one step closer to making this dream possible.

I’ve spent my life surviving.

Now, I’d love the chance to truly live.

Thank you for believing in me and for being part of this next chapter of my journey.

With love and gratitude,

Help Us Build More Than a Car

Hi, my name is David, and I’m a husband and the father of three. As the sole provider for our family of five, I work hard every day to provide for my family. Like many families today, we live paycheck to paycheck. Once the mortgage, utilities, groceries, insurance, and other everyday expenses are paid, there isn’t much left to save.

My biggest dream right now is to build a project car with my son before he turns 16.

This isn’t about owning an expensive car. It’s about spending quality time together while teaching him skills that will last a lifetime. I want him to learn how to solve problems, work with his hands, and understand the value of patience, responsibility, and hard work. My hope is that, when we’re finished, he’ll have not only a reliable first car but also the pride of knowing he helped build it himself.

As much as I want to make this happen, the cost of purchasing a project car, buying parts, and acquiring the tools and supplies needed is simply more than our family can afford right now.

Your support will help us:

  • Purchase a project car.
  • Buy the parts and materials needed for the rebuild.
  • Purchase the tools required to complete the project.
  • Save toward giving my son a safe and dependable first car for his 16th birthday.

Every donation, regardless of the amount, brings us one step closer to achieving this dream. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing our story with others would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering helping our family. Your kindness and generosity will help us build more than a car—it will help us create memories, teach lifelong lessons, and give my son something he’ll cherish for years to come.

I just want some freedom to do life things

I’m looking for a little help with getting my first car. I’ve spent about a year and a half, on driving lessons and 4 total tests, with all the issues around booking a test in the UK. On Thursday, I finally passed.

I’m very proud of myself, it was on my own dime and in spite of my ADHD, which I’m still working through trying to get along with, nevermind it getting along with my instructor!

But the lessons for a year and a half have burned through the savings I had aside for a car.

Public transport in my village comes and goes three times a day, my nearest shop with anything more than bare minimum is a 20 minute drive away, so you can imagine how long the walk to and back is. Nevermind my GP surgery now not serving the area as much and needing to travel a hefty 40mins by car, if I can get a friend to help.

Additional to this, a big reason at the moment is that I want to be able to help my family with things. My grandfather has been in a care home for a while, due to a mild stroke, hernia, and a broken shoulder, he is not currently fit to do much at all, so I would like to go keep him company, same with my gran, who remains in their home alone.

I promised them both I’d see them in March, the month of my last test which was a whole 6 month wait. I’m a little late beyond that! But I just hope to get a car soon to get to them, and get on with my own life too.

I appreciate the time you’ll have taken to read this and any donations are welcome, I’m looking at a goal of £1,000 to get something decent and get me on my tires as it were.

Cooking with heart

Food is more than just fuel; it’s a reminder of our shared humanity. For me, cooking has always been a way to express love and care. I believe that no one should ever have to go to bed hungry or feel forgotten by their community.
That is why I have dedicated my time to preparing home-cooked meals for the homeless in our area. I don’t just want to give them “leftovers”—I want to give them a warm, nutritious meal made with the same care I would give my own family.
Why I Need Your Help
While I have the passion and the hands to do the work, the cost of fresh ingredients adds up quickly. I am asking for small donations to keep this kitchen running.

Home for my parents

I’m trying to get my parents out of their old moldy house with an impossible hoa. I am their caregiver but I also work full time and overtime. They are on social security so they have a limited fixed income. My mom and I have been saving here and there and paying down our cards to build our credit but things come up. Usually something in the house needs fixing or the hoa has some new project. We are not looking for anything crazy just something newer with no hoa. We are very close to our goal, only need a little boost to help with down payment and closing costs. Around $15k. Anything is appreciated. My parents mean the world to me and have always provided for me. I just want to give them this small comfort.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Again, anything is appreciated.
Much love.

Help me turn my Pain into Purpose; not just for me, but Aberdeen, Scotland the UK!

My name is Karen, and writing this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I’m 46 years old, and for the first time in my life, I’m admitting openly that I cannot do this alone anymore. I’m scared of what my future will look like if I don’t get help now. I’m scared of growing older without stability, without family around me, and without the chance to finally become the person I’ve always tried to be.This month marks 25 years since my mum died. My last memory of her is performing CPR while waiting for the paramedics. That moment never left me. It shaped every decision, every mistake, every year that followed. My dad remarried quickly, and although I understand why, I felt like the world moved forward while I stayed frozen in grief. I tried therapy, but the pain was too big, and I slipped into pills and later drugs just to feel numb.I’ve spent years trying to rebuild myself. I went back to university, studied counselling skills, and helped run a drug and alcohol recovery programme. For a while, I felt like I was becoming someone my mum would have been proud of. But life has a way of knocking you down again when you least expect it. Epilepsy, depression, isolation — they all crept in and pulled the rug from under me.My little brother has a beautiful life in London, and I’m proud of him, but I barely see him. I don’t have children. I don’t have a partner. And last year, I lost my closest companion — my cat, also named Monkee — after 17 years together. Her loss left a silence in my home that I still don’t know how to fill.But even with all of this, I still believe I have something to give. I have ideas for a community project in Aberdeen to support people affected by addiction — something Scotlandand the UK desperately needs. I know what it feels like to fall apart, and I know what it takes to climb back up. That insight is rare, and I want to use it to help others.But right now, I’m drowning in debt and instability. I can’t build anything for anyone until I get my own life back on solid ground. I’m asking for help — not because I want pity, but because I want a chance. I want someone out there to believe that my story isn’t finished yet.Your support wouldn’t just change my life. It would help me change the lives of others who feel as lost as I once did.Thank you for reading, and for believing that people can rise again.
