Greetings,

My name is Constance Jacobs and I am asking for financial offerings to assist me in weight loss surgery, a breast reduction, and tummy tuck per my doctors recommendation. I have diabetes and hypertension and the weight loss surgery would definitely rid me those diseases. As far as the breast reduction and tummy tuck goes, my breast are quite large! So much so that I have back problems, discolored indentations on both of my shoulders, and discolored marks under and on the side of my breasts, which makes me very self conscious and has taken a toll on my self esteem. I don’t date anymore because the thought of meeting “the one” and becoming intimate with him, and him seeing my shoulders and breasts scares me to my core. I work as a preschool teacher; my employer “offers” health insurance but it is totally at my expense and I simply cannot afford it. Having the opportunity to get these procedures done, not only would improve my health, but would give me back my self worth. For those of you who decide to gift me this favor I am eternally grateful, and I thank you from the depths of my soul!

Hello. My name is Roshawn Bedford, also known as MizzSkullyB, and I have Sickle Cell Anemia SS. For those who don’t know, Sickle Cell is a common, hereditary blood disorder that causes excruciating pain at any given moment, making it extremely difficult to nearly impossible for some carriers to hold down a steady job, such as in my case.

I just made 38 years old on June 17th and am somewhat embarrassed to say I live at home with my mom, but not for the reasons one might think. I moved back home to Houston from Cali in 2016 to help my mom care for my father, who passed that year due to colon cancer, as well as my fully disabled younger brother, who later died from complications of his epilepsy 3 days before Thanksgiving in 2020.

I’ve been trying to save for a nice little vehicle since 2020 but life just… keeps on lifing everytime I get close to my goal.

Just within the last year I’ve been diagnosed with multi-organ failure of my heart, lungs, and kidneys. That’s on TOP of the numerous bloodclots that were already over 80% of my body when they first diagnosed me with them in 2007. Not to mention the Neuropathy AND Gout I was also diagnosed with in 2021. My kidney disease got so bad I’ve been close to death TWICE since 2022. And just as I was nearing dialysis levels, my doctors decided to have me do monthly transfusions, which have definitely helped a lot.

That said, between my daily life, these transfusions now, and drs appts literally almost every other day (sometimes even multiple ones in the same day, in different locations) I NEED MY OWN VEHICLE. My mom has a car that I pay the monthly insurance on(and sometimes the note too when she’s behind like now), but she doesn’t like to let me drive it. But even if she did, I still need my own regardless. Just like Billie Holiday sang, God Bless the Child Who’s Got Their Own! Especially now that my mom’s getting sicker these days also. Due to her fibromyalgia and a host of her own illnesses, she’s not even suppose to be driving at this point, but she still does her best to get me to every appointment and it’s really starting to take a toll on her, not to mention our relationship. We have a running serious joke that whoever is feeling the “best” that day is who looks after the other, but it would be so much easier with my own vehicle.

PLEASE HELP ME TO HELP MYSELF. I don’t look it, but I’m very ill, and all I want is to be able to care for myself and my mother the best I can without also being a burden on her.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and thank you in advance for anyone willing to help. It would truly be a much appreciated LIFECHANGER.

Thanks again and take care!

I never thought I would find a way to ask openly the public for help.  My husband, a Desert Storm veteran, was let go of his job December 13, 2022, 12 days before Christmas.  We’re thankful in that our daughter, who’s 11, doesn’t believe in Santa any longer and ironically received her Christmas present that Sunday before the 13th.  It was a Tuesday when my husband received a call on his way to a job stating to turn around, park your truck, we’ll be there by 3 pm to pick up your truck, phone, and computer.  Let’s just say he still to this day does not know why he was fired.  He even filed a complaint with his company regarding the dismissal and all they said was they sided on his manager with whatever he said.  The state we live in is an at-will state so there really doesn’t have to be an explanation.

He filed for unemployment all while we both put his resume on all different job websites.  He had numerous interviews, whether they were in person, on the phone or zoom but then came the dreaded email with “we’re sorry to inform you” a few days after each interview.  Unemployment took almost four months to pay out so we had to use up ALL our savings; IRAs, 401(k)s, credit cards and whatever was in the bank.  Thankfully our mortgage company worked with us but there were always bills that needed to be paid, medication that he needed now that he no longer had his HSA account, as well as food needed to be put on the table.

He FINALLY started a job on 4/24/23 that works him six days a week until he is off of probation.  He just recently got his insurance because I couldn’t get him on mine and with him being on his feet all this time when in the passed he has always worked four 10-hour shifts to give him three days off a week, he has developed bone spurs that need attention and will take him out of work for recovery.

I also work two jobs; one full time and one part time and those funds always ran out as quick as they came in.  We now can’t get a loan because of our credit card balances being so high when we never thought we would lean on them so much.  With that being said we’re asking for help to pay down our credit cards that total $8409.01.  Anything would be a blessing and I pray one day we will be able to pay it forward.

Thank you for reading our story and God bless.

Hello my name is Lindsey. I am a 24 year old artist. I have been painting for over three years. I have a love of creating art that people can connect with. Life hasn’t been on the easiest on me and I have somehow still managed to get by until now. I currently work 3 jobs just to attempt to pay my bills. In bills I owe about 4,000 in total. I eventually would love to go to UX/UI school and actually start creating my life. My debit is about 13,000 dollars and I have been paying it off slowly inch by inch. I don’t really have anyone I can’t ask for help, my parents aren’t really in the picture. When I was younger they were hardly there to be supportive or give a hug. I am determined to change my life around so I can actually work on getting my business started and have schooling under my belt. My plan is to graduate from UX/UI school and start getting into the field while also creating a website for my art. Drowning in bills and wondering how will I make rent money has been quite the challenge. I am grateful for how far I have come now and would love to be able to create a brand new life for myself as well. Living paycheck to paycheck is depressing when I know their is so much more to life. If you appreciate this dream, I appreciate you greatly.

First, I want to acknowledge that there are far more pressing requests here that I hope are answered before mine, and I don’t want to take away from any serious needs from others. If there is any overflow of abundance and their needs are taken care of, I would really appreciate this request being fulfilled.

My name is John and I’m a photographic artist. I create conceptual photographs without the use of “Photoshopping” or heavily manipulating the photograph. What you see in the image is very close to what was seen through the viewfinder of my camera.

My desire is to push this niche as far as possible. In the age of A.I. imagery and in a culture where many commercial and even news images we see have been dramatically doctored, I want to run the opposite direction. The “believability” of photography is one of its most powerful aspects as a medium, and that seems to have been thrown out of the window.

Instead of faking images to make them look believable, I want to craft real photographs of unbelievable visions. I use practical effects, materials, and set design inside of a small two door garage to create my work. Eventually, I want to be shooting this all on film.

A lot of my work carries its own meaning. I don’t want to create things that just look fun. I want my photographs to contribute some value, even if that’s just to one person.

Now I’m at a point in my life where I just want to focus on my craft and create my best work, and share my fascination with experimental photography and my visions with my audience once again. I have all the tools, experience, and space I need to create that work, but the funds necessary to purchase the materials for my work aren’t there. It is a palpably frustrating roadblock, because it seems like the only door separating me from fulfilling this creative vision.

Unfortunately, materials are expensive, but not out of reach. I work with chalk, paints, inks, glass, fabrics, wood, paper, cardboard, plastics, different lighting tools, and much, much more, to bring my ideas to fruition. I have ideas for photos that would range in cost from $50 to fulfill up to $5,000 to fulfill ($5,000 to create one photograph?! Imagine what that photo would look like!) Again, I have all the camera gear I need and I work in my garage, so all funding goes straight into the crafting of a new piece. $10,000 would open the door to dozens and dozens of new images that could finally spark a wildfire in my creative mission. But even $100 makes a huge difference and can allow me to work on a new piece to share with the world.

The photograph above is one of the first I’ve created in my niche of photography. The photograph is taken in an 4′ x 4′ x 8′ high corner that I built and painted in chalkboard paint. The chalk is drawn on the ground and on the walls to create an anamorphic illusion of a cube, in perspective to the camera. If you were to step to one side or another, that illusion would collapse. It’s essentially a photograph about the self-limiting boundaries we place around ourselves, and how a change of perspective can set us free.
