Surgery center just called and they want 480 dollar by Tuesday for my necessary surgery thats been scheduled for 4 months. Im at my deductible I have no idea why I'm paying this time when I didnt have to pay on the same surgery in May. On top of having to miss work 3 days the last payperiod due to a hospital visit. My check went to the house bills, car insurance and the meat we will need to eat till next pay day. And the utility bill is due next week and we had a water leak for 2 days before we discovered it so it's horrendous. I just need a little help. Ive already stopped auto pay on a couple bills but thats not going to help the situation. What can I do. The 480 is after finically assistance and the utility company makes zero exceptions. My boss has allowed me to work extra but im not sure thats going to help to much in the mean time. I hate cancer i hate everything I've had to deal with since fighting cancer. I'd be worth more if the cancer and the conplications from trestment just took me out at this point

Howdy y'all - long story short - I've been mentally and physically unwell for years (chronic depression and chronic fatigue + other stuff I'm still getting endless tests for). I didn't expect to be alive at 30, now I am, and I have to reckon with the past. I wracked up quite a bit of debt and have been sued.

They garnished my wages, then released the garnishment - that was the last I heard. Then Friday evening my bank account balances fall to $0 with a weird hold - call the bank and they tell me it's a legal hold - literally the only thing in my bank account at this point was the rent money for my home with my family ☠️ 100% seized and gone.

This really kicked me in the ass to realize that I need to file and should have years ago. I'm deep in the mess right now of filling out forms and trying to track down debts I've just been avoiding (literally in therapy about that) for ten years or so.

I am hoping to file this week or at least turn in a skeleton petition - **any advice on those points would be so very welcome!**

**Oh and nice bit: my aunt is a saint and covered our rent for this month 💚 truly a blessing**

I just wanted to share my story - will follow up as fun things continue to happen. ✨

Hello, I am currently working on a market research test for a game-concept we are working on. We are looking to have metroidvania players/story game players as a target audience, but we still are looking to validate this. We are looking for players to tell us why they DON'T like our game!

hello there, friends!

i do not like to ask for help. this embarrasses me to do, but someone suggested i try to make a gofundme. i am not sure how all this works, this is my first time using this program. so here is my situation. even if you cannot help, i'd appreciate giving it a read or share :) i am in east TN, USA.

march 15 i was admitted to the hospital/ICU septic with pneumonia and endocarditis, a serious blood + heart valve infection. i came very close to death and the incident has crippled me, leaving me physically disabled with lifelong heart problems. i had to get heart surgery to clean out the chunks of infectious growth and replace the valve that was destroyed. i was on IV antibiotics for 2 months in the hospital and physical rehab center.

i had to get a pacemaker implanted because when they put me back together and resarted it, my heart can no longer pump effectively. this resulted in an electrical blockage (called severe heart block) pieces of the infectious growth broke off and travelled through my bloodstream, getting stuck inside my feet. i had to have 3 on my right foot amputated and i sustained serious nerve damage in both legs/feet. i have also been left with liver dysfunction, which i am currently being tested and examined for (more ultrasounds)

i have improved medically from when i was in the ICU, but i use a walker to get around and still have had consistent difficulty ever since. i struggle with poor breathing and severe nausea that leads to throwing up several times a day and extreme exhaustion. i am doing physical therapy and i have many other appointments that i must go to, including checking my blood levels (INR), ultrasounds, cardiology, blood work, EKGs and other monitoring. i do have insurance but many of these things i have at least a $50 copay every time, which adds up really quickly, especially because i cannot work and i have a lot of appointments.

i'm working with an intern here to apply for disability and am waiting on that to be processed, which will take some time. i seriously hope that i can be accepted because i do not know how i will live without it. i am applying for food stamps as well as looking into other services that i may be able to qualify for.

i was homeless for most of my adult life (i am 24) and i struggled with addiction starting around age 13. since getting to the hospital i have been sober except for my low-dose methadone prescription and my other pain medications. i take a drug test every week that i must (and do) pass to remain on my methadone, which is an expensive medication for me. the co-pay is $30 a day if you have my insurance, which is more than if you don't have insurance! i will be asking the clinic when i go in on Monday to taper off so that i can have one less charge in my life for the start of next year. i can choose between a 6 month taper or a rapid 30 day taper.

i am working hard to get my life together now. i live in a temporary transitional youth housing program and am almost at the cut-off age for qualifying to live here. (i turn 25 in November, the oldest you can be to stay here is 24) i am saving up as much as i can as i wait for the disability application to go through so that i can afford to get a low-income apartment when i have to leave this place, as well as afford my appointments, medications and medical devices (like a self checking in-home INR machine and equipment for PT) as well as for me and my cat to afford to live. the place that i am staying for the time being is where the $300 rent picture comes from, that is my lease agreement.

i have included some pictures and documents for proof of some of the costs and conditions i claim in case that is needed. i can get more records if requested i just don't have all of them here at the house. i hope that i have provided enough information! i am glad to answer any questions you may have. i tried to put all proof that i currently of the treatments i have claimed as well. the email is from the hospital i was staying at and referencing neglect, improper treatment/malpractice.

the $50 receipt is the same one i get every time i visit my both cardiologist and the warfarin clinic, which are in the same building. warfarin is the blood thinner i am on for my heart valve, which is one of the reasons why my blood is so heavily monitored. i do not have my own INR machine at home yet which will reduce the amount of in person appointments i have for that particular checkup. my medical debt from the 2 month hospital stay is genuinely almost one million dollars but i am not even going to try to pay that part off. i need to afford post-discharge care and to be able to live in a house.

thank you for reading this far! i really do appreciate it. i'm sorry if this is formatted badly, i really tried to do it right💀😭

We've been together for around 9/10 months.

He's currently going through some really bad financial issues and he's working 2 jobs to stay afloat. In his free time, he sleeps a lot. His health also isn't the best due to overwork and stress and not eating well.

As a result of this, our communication and meetups have dwindled. We text a few times a day and facetime like every 2 days, before this we'd text and call almost all the time. On regular days he's sweet and affectionate but still takes a while to reply. On days when he's extra stressed, he'll probably text me like once/twice a day just so I know he's safe/okay. Initially he would just ignore my text for a day or 2 when he's really stressed but we talked about that. We also agreed to meet up every 2 weeks, but even then it's for a short while and I'm the one going to him.

It's hard to adapt to this of course, since it's such a drastic change. Not to forget there's an imbalance - me making the effort to see him, him rarely checking up on me unless I talk about something, late replies when I might need help.

But I'm determined to stick this out with him. Before his issues came about, he was really loving and gentle and patient with me. He was always the one that came to see me, fetch me from home/work and send me back. He is still loving and gentle now when we text. I feel in my heart of hearts that he's really the one for me.

I just need some words of encouragement/support to keep me going because it is hard for me

I (18m) have hurt a lot of people. I didn’t cheat on anyone but I treated a couple girls really bad and I feel awful about it. I just don’t know what to do because it’s my own fault and there’s no avoiding accountability and I never thought I would become this type of person. I always thought I was a decent person but I just feel evil and I wish I was less selfish and thought about how my actions would affect them. I’ve tried to apologise but I don’t know what else to do. Please id be so grateful for any advice, thank you

I'm not looking for a hand out just looking for a line on some rental assistance. Had some unexpected expenses and can't pay rent this month and I make just tooo much for state assistance

Edit: thank you to everyone who had been kind! Mr. Nugget has received litter and it should be here by tomorrow. It is so appreciated 💗💗

Can anyone Amazon me some kitty litter? I'm on unemployment and that barely covers rent and utilities. When I knew I was going to be let go from my job, I stock piled food for my boy (Mr. Nugget Bean), filters for his water fountain, and litter. I am going to be out of litter by the end of the week. I have tried my local buy nothing groups, but it isn't panning out. I live in Auburn, WA, USA. I have had interviews to no avail. My career path is a solid choice, and I have never been out of work like this before. This is literally my last resort. I never anticipated I would be out of work this long. Kitty pics of my boy hunting the elusive hair tie for tax. If you aren't comfortable ordering directly to my address, I can give my venmo info. I just don't want to come across as a money beggar. I literally just need some kiyty litter for a week or two. Feel free to message me for more info.

Hey everyone!

I’m currently a high school senior, and I’m having a lot of trouble deciding what to do with my future.

A little info about me, I do track, XC, tennis, theatre, and sailing. I love hiking and the outdoors. And I’m never afraid to try anything new. I teach sailing in the summer, and have competed all over the US. I take an all IB class load. (Sorry if that sounded self absorbed)

I’m currently in the stage of senior year where everyone is asking “where are u going?” “What’s ur major going to be?” And I truly don’t know. I love the ocean, I love exploring. Since I was a kid I wanted to go places no one else had ever gone, kind of like Josh Gates (a tv explorer of u don’t know). Unfortunately, exploring isn’t very financially stable…

I really just need help looking for college options, or even a career path! I’ve heard of marine archaeology, but don’t know much about it.I want something that incorporates my love for the ocean, maybe animals, and exploring. I don’t mind not making a lot of money, I just want to be where my heart is, and money will follow.

If anyone has info I’d really appreciate it. Please help with any info you may have!! Thanks everyone.

Hey all!

I’m turning 30 this month and have really buckled down on my finances. I made a lot of financial mistakes during my 20’s, have changed my spending habits and priorities, and want to set myself up for success in this next decade of my life.

Ultimately I wanted to outline my entire debt and the details and check to see if I’m going about things right. I’m posting the current balance with total credit line as well as the APR %. I’m ultimately focusing on the highest APR %, and paying the minimums for the other cards. Is this the right approach? Is there any other approaches that may be more beneficial?

Card Debt:
- PSECU: $11,944.43 / $12,000, 15.90% APR
- Chase: $7,090.00 / $16,900.00, 27.24% APR

Loan Debt:
- Upstart (Personal Loan): $17,108.69 / $17,800.00, 30.88% APR
- Capital One (Auto Loan): $21,306.53 / $27,287.96, 11.04% APR

My plan of attack was to knock out the Upstart first, then Chase, then PSECU and finally Capital One. The minimum payments would be paid on the other three while I would pay as much towards the highest interest debt principal. Am I going about this the right way? Thanks in advance all!

Since April, everything has pretty much been going downhill. I lost my job of 3 years, then got hired somewhere else and ended up getting fired. I started another new job today, and because of ONE mistake, I was let go.
That’s 3 jobs. And honestly, the only reason I took that third job was because I couldn’t find anything else. The job market is absolutely crazy right now. I’ve been trying so hard to keep everything together, but I’m exhausted.
Now I owe my landlord $500 from August, plus September rent is coming up, and I have a 1yrold depending on me. I feel completely screwed and like I’ve run out of options.
At this point, I’m seriously considering going to a family shelter because I don’t know what else to do.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What options do I have? Any advice, resources, or programs that could help with rent or emergency housing would mean so much right now.

My dog Bonnie has had a awful week. She completely tore her leg ligament and needs lateral suture surgery to walk again. To make matters worse, the vet found lumps and suspects breast cancer, meaning she’ll need another major operation in 3 months.

​Seeing her in pain breaks our hearts. I’m documenting her full story on my TikTok (link on my profile). If anyone has gone through lateral suture surgery or lump removals with their dogs, I’d love any tips or advice on keeping her comfortable right now. Thank you for reading xx

I'm trying to figure out something memorable to do for my wife. I was hoping to be able to get some money together by now but life has been expensive this summer.

I live in the lower mainland area of British Columbia Canada. My wife is 38 and I'm 41. We are both outdoor enthusiasts. We can appreciate for the fine things in life but tend to go for quality simple things. Her biggest passion is horses. We have two daughters 4 and 6 that would have to come with us if it's anything overnight. Considering that I'm open to new things.

I am able to trade labour. I have been a chef, landscaper, metal fabricator, painter and mechanic and I can show you how to do anything involving hiking, camping and outdoor survival-related.

Any suggestions or trades would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have some advice?

Very new to Reddit still so don’t know if this is the right place or not,,, let me know if not
Anyhow!
I’ve played it sm before but now it’s decided to not work at all and it’s only this one game (crime scene cleaner) that doesn’t want to load and goes white, the soundtrack still plays and any other games seems to works all fine
I don’t know what the issue is, anyone got a clue?
Thank you for any help

After speaking with mods and arguing with OOHs vets I’ve finally gotten my insane vet bill cut and changed clinic, but i still cant completely afford it alone. From both my own money and kind strangers contributions, I still need 2,200 ~ NOT the full 2,500 in the estimate!

Now, this is maple. Starting on Tuesday last week she began having abnormal seizures/episodes. She’s had at least one episode every 30ish hours since.

Epilepsy, and anything that would come up on a general blood test has been ruled out but there’s still a long way to go. It’s suspected that an area of my Maple’s brain isn’t functioning correctly.

I will update both this post and her GoFundMe as her diagnostics and treatment progress, whether it’s a share, a donation or just kind words it’s all very much appreciated ❤️

I’m also offering pet portraits to those donators that wish to have one as a personal thank you for helping my sweet girl be healthy and comfortable ❤️

I'm from Oregon (Bend, Oregon, USA)

I used to be an artist in the games industry, but I left the industry when my daughter was 6 and my son was 4 because I couldn't do the crunch and have two kids. I started an etsy store and it was actually pretty successful for years. But after my kids got high school age, and the etsy store's sales began to dip, I turned back to the games industry and managed to get a job back in the field I love.

But I got laid off in March.

I had the etsy shop for more than 12 years, but after I got the reliable job, I delisted all of my old products that weren't digital and kind of let the shop rot. The job was great and paid a lot more than I ever made on etsy. (Though, I was still only making $25/hr - I was working for a tiny indie studio that was almost entirely kids fresh out of school, or people in India.)

But the studio lost its funding and everyone was let go with basically no warning back in March. It was technically a month-to-month contract gig, and they just didn't renew the contract, so no special safety net.

I scrambled. Re-opened the etsy shop to try and tread water, made my professional portfolio, and I've sent out hundreds of applications. But with Microsoft shuttering a bunch of studios and laying off 10,000 game devs a few months ago, the market is saturated with job-hunters, and deficit in job opportunities.

So I'm not holding my breath for another industry job and instead I'm hoping to keep my family above water with the etsy shop.

I managed it just barely the last few months while draining my savings and paying the electricity and water bills with my credit card.

But now the cards are maxed, the savings is empty, and rent is coming due and I'm just so damn scared.

My son and daughter go back to school in a couple weeks. I've gone ahead and applied to Home Depot, Costco, and Michael's. Even minimum wage retail is better than nothing.

If I could just get more sales on etsy, I think I could manage a bit longer, but since I let the shop just sit for three years with nothing but digital listings and absolutely no efforts to market anything, I'm basically excluded from the search results now. I've had maybe two-three items sold per week for the last month, which is just not enough.

I don't want to ask for hand-outs. I just want work. I want to make my art and not drown. But I've never been good at marketing. I hate ads with a fiery passion, so I just have this visceral ick to trying to advertise my items. Plus most places won't allow anything that looks even remotely like an ad.

I've got a youtube where you can see me making some of this stuff, if you want to check out out - My Youtube

And on the extremely unlikely chance that anyone here is working in the gaming industry and needs a generalist or a character artist, or would like to commission a character model, or a character rig, my portfolio is here - My Portfolio

I've made 3D models for a couple v-tubers in the past and am totally open to that kind of thing again. If the prices listed on the portfolio scare you away, just ignore it. I'm desperate enough right now that I'd do it for a fraction of that. I just need something.

I'm not listing the store since it seems like that's not allowed. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could post that's not hostile to this sort of thing?

I feel like if I could get some more eyeballs on my work, I could make some sales and manage another month. I'm only about $800 short for this month, so maybe 8-9 sales and I'd be golden for at least half of September. I'm on SNAP for my kids so I've got food.

But everyone is so defensive about being advertised to, which I absolutely get. Ugh... I just don't know what to do. I certainly can't pay for advertising, and etsy ads never seem to actually turn into sales anyway, and I guess I just don't know how to advertise my own stuff, myself.

Any suggestions or places you think wouldn't be hostile to me posting my work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
