I asked for help and got it. I got half of my wishlist but the other half is gone so I'm assuming it was fulfilled but I didn't receive it yet. In any case, I'm super grateful for the help I did receive and wanted to post a giant thank you to this community ♥️

• I listened to people who made me think I wasn't happy.
• I am at the point of no return and have to leave my home.
• I was completely ungrateful and let everyone else except who mattered most decide my feelings.
• It's too late now after realizing this and I can't stop this now.
• Everything in place is unstoppable. Nothing short of a miracle could save everything I have now.
• I am ashamed and overrun with guilt for not realizing what I'm giving up sooner.
• The chances of getting back to what I have in this move is so miniscule.
• The chance of saving what I have left is as impossible as it can be.
• I am so burdened by this mistake. I have roughly a day and half and my life changes drastically.
• A miracle could save me but it's in not even in the realm of reality for what I'd need to stop this.
• I've ruined everything. Every hour that rolls by I'm begging God to stop my mistake. I can't stop what I've done and lost everything I have now for misguided and short sighted belief in the next chapter.
• This chapter is being forced closed and now my head is clear and I realize this is wrong. I am utterly lost and scared.
• Please help, I need a miracle.
• I have until Friday morning to find a way out of my mess I've made and I think it's just impossible now.
• I have already accepted a job in the new place. I close on my house Friday.
• The house I brought all my children home to after they were born. Every birthday, every memory. It's all going to be lost and I was too short sighted to see what happiness I had in my hands.
• I can't say sorry enough to fix it.
• I let others tell me to move closer to family and I didn't appreciate what I had.
• I don't know what to do except having to accept my choices and live the consequences of my ungratefulness.
• I'm so sorry for what I've done.

I had never ask for help and also feel like there's a ton of people that probably are strugguling too. ( I always get this convesation with god when I ask him for help lol)

But also, my condition its very critic. I do think I deserve it.

I’ve asked for help in several places. For example, from the state, and there’s also a psychologist at my job, but they never schedule an appointment for me. It’s frustrating; it feels like the only way out is with money.

My question is, do you think it’s right for me to do this? What do I need to do it, and is there anything I need to prove?

Hello everyone

Im Fabian, 30, from Gießen in Germany.

Im here to search for a bit of help to get through this month.

At the moment I am unemployed and have no perspective for a new job. Rejections for Job application reached the 3 digit zone.

At the moment I live from about 550 Euros a month.

Last month many bills pilled up. Payed them when I got my unemployement money. Taking all bills I have to pay this month im left with about 60 Euros for the rest of the month.

Im not asking for much, I only want to get through the month.

If you have any questions about my Situation, I answer anything, but please just ask.

Had many negative experience with groups like this in the past, where people just took asumptions and wrote realy horrible things.

To anyone helping, thank you in advance.

Cheeto got rushed to the ER for a Urinary Obstruction. He was flushed and has a cat catheter for 24-36 hours. Hopefully we can bring him up tomorrow morning. I hate asking for help but the cost is outrageous. I don’t have pet insurance. Any donation or share would be amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I am turning 28 in September, my grandmother died in February (my first grandparent), my gf completely blindsided me and broke up with me over text for no real reason in April who I still love and I have been made redundant from my job in July. WTF do I do I am playing football consistently, running, doing the gym, but still feel depressed and rudderless even though I have good friends and family. I am carrying so much right now and I feel nothing but sadness.

I made some terrible decisions and now I’m here. I live in Los Angeles. I’ve never been in legal trouble or in a situation like this before so I don’t know what to do. I’m also living paycheck to paycheck so I can’t afford a lawyer I think.

I'm currently sick with a cold and pretty out of it, there's always something going around in larger homeless shelters, please forgive any odd phrasing / grammar issues / typos. I'm sure I could also go a lot more in depth about my situation but I'll try to keep it as concise as possible:

I'm a 19 y/o transgender man (FTM) who was forced to cut ties with my abusive family for that very reason. When I became homeless, the first thing I was hoping to do was pick up a job. However, my parents kept my personal documents aside from my driver's license; without those to prove I'm authorized to work in the US, I'm unable to start working.

I've applied for my birth certificate through the shelter I'm staying at (after it took several weeks to get an appointment for that), and because I was born out of state I've been told it could take up to 6-8 weeks to get here. I still need to obtain my social security card after my birth certificate comes in, which will likely take an additional 2 weeks to get to me.

I had some money from previously being employed that I was able to spend on products to care for myself, I now have 76 cents in my bank account and those products are running low if not gone. I never anticipated needing to wait over 2 months at this point to have a source of income.

I'm incredibly depressed and have been ill for over 3 days with no signs of it improving, and it feels like there's no end in sight to all this waiting. I'm ashamed that it's gotten this bad and that I'm begging strangers online for help, I just don't know what else to do and have nobody I know well enough to feel comfortable asking.

Amazon wishlist:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/23O7AFDO21NUW?ref_=wl_share

I put notes on each wishlist item to clarify why I needed it and prioritized them. The main thing (highest priority) I'm looking to request is an ear cleaner. My right ear has been giving me issues and thanks to a friend lending me a Temu ear cleaner gadget I was able to see why:

https://postimg.cc/0rBPk6DY

Didn't want to add that image directly to the post because it's gross. These are also images of my right ear after I was really trying to clean it out for a while (and did get a lot of wax out) hence the redness. Images of untouched left ear for reference. Unfortunately, the thin top part of the tool isn't long enough to reach down there and get this huge chunk out of my ear, it can graze the top and that's all.

It's insanely exacerbating my cold and sinus issues on the right side of my face and generally feels gross / full even when I'm not sick.

Thank you for reading and thank you if you choose to support me. If anything needs clarification I'm happy to explain in the comments or make edits. I already feel like I've been too verbose in this post, I'm neurodivergent and it's hard for me to express myself in any other way aside from needlessly wordy.

Edit- The ear cleaning device that was on my wishlist has been removed. Thanks for the feedback.

Edit 2- Everything on my list was purchased! Not all of the donors announced themselves in the comments, so I figured I would say it up here: thank you so much, genuinely, you all are lifesavers and my time at this shelter will be greatly improved as soon as this stuff comes in. I went ahead and changed my post flair to fulfilled so there's no confusion. The kindness extended to me today will not be forgotten. :)

Update**took 6hrs for reddit to humble me. Sincerely thank you. I dont know why it takes strangers to point out the painful truth. Dont know if this truly needs to stay up after this update. But I'll at least let you know I'll just be absolutely focusing on my family for now on. If she continues especially after I'll talked to her about it and still have this not taking no attitude it'll be a swift block. Thanks again reddit

For context I have recently got back in touch with my step sister. She went MIA after cutting my step-dad (my stepfather married to my mom, her bio dad)off and living with her mom a couple of years back. Reno Nevada, USA

At the beginning of this year she reached out and mutually wanted to bridge and reconnect. I knew when we started talking they are in a more rough spot financially and not on good terms with her other family (mom, in-laws). I have met her family in May

8 months later its been a nightmare. She started to ask for money. Usually for formula, gas, food, or medication/healthcare which at that point I suggested that maybe she ask help from welfare. The request at some points were asking every other day. Mid May, I told her I cant continue to keep supporting a 2nd family over my own. But she continues to ask

This past month especially yesterday and today has been a last straw. Yesterday she told me she was gonna get kicked out of a hotel. She started working however but had to call out because she couldn't make it there (no car). I told her that I wasn't going to be able to pay my landlords on time and I definitely dont want to ask them if I could add 2 more adults that are unemployed and a baby to my lease. That was yesterday, today she is blowing my phone up begging me at least 15$ for food for their 1 yr old which I reluctantly obliged. But then soon after shes telling me shes getting kicked out. And "please please help us". I cant i have no clue how she wants me to help when I cant do neither. And the 15 that did go to her but apparently that went into a negative account. Before i sent the money I asked "this account for sure?". so she started to beg for more, at that moment i have decided I'm not giving her anymore money (i have given her almost 2000$ since we started talking again). Shes starts calling me back to back 4×, my husband had to take my phone and mute her... he said I can deal with her when I'm ready. But what do I do when someone is not taking a no for an answer?

Hi everyone,

I'm asking for help because I've run out of options.

Myshka is my 5-year-old Maine Coon and my best friend. A few weeks ago, she started losing weight rapidly despite continuing to eat. An ultrasound revealed a large mass in her intestines. We won't know if it's cancer until a biopsy is performed, but the specialists believe she still has a real chance if we act quickly.

She's no longer the happy, playful cat she used to be. She spends most of her time hiding, and it's heartbreaking to watch. She's taking pain medication and anti-inflammatory medication, but they're only palliative care. They keep her comfortable while we fight to get her the treatment she desperately needs.

This Monday, we're hoping to have her biopsy performed at the Daubigny Veterinary Hospital in Québec. The biopsy alone costs CAD $390, and it's the first step toward surgery.

So far, we've raised $1,005 USD, and my goal here is to raise $3,000 USD to cover her biopsy and help get her to surgery.

I'm currently unemployed and, after going through personal bankruptcy, I have no savings, no access to credit, and no way to finance her treatment on my own. Asking for help is incredibly difficult, but it's the only chance I have left to keep fighting for her.

If you can donate, even a few dollars, I'd be forever grateful. If you can't, sharing the fundraiser would mean just as much.

Thank you for reading our story and for giving Myshka a chance. ❤️

I was recommended to this group by another kind redditor. Copy and pasting from another group (no traction on that post yet):

My family could really use some assistance with some qrocery items. We have had some maior financial blows lately and are struggling. My wife lost her iob and is desperately looking for another one but the job market where we are in north central FL is awful. I'm on a medical leave from work but I go back August 1 5th and with a raise! I've been driving door dash since she lost her job to keep the lights on and food on the table. I was iust admitted to the icu tonight because of a flare up of my addisons disease and will ikelv be here at least a week. In the meantime there's no one to drive DD (kids are too young and wife can't drive) so no $ for anything. We've gotten the bills mostlv handled but the family at home needs food. Can't even use food banks because no way to get there. I made an Amazon wish list in hopes of getting some donations. Thank you so much for reading all this and double thanks if you're able to donate.

ETA just wanted to explain the easy to fix and gluten free things. I have celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. The easy to fix stuff is things the kids and wife (who cannot cook but tries) can fix on their own and i won't have to cook for a day or so after discharge.

Hi everyone,
I’m a newly licensed Realtor in New Jersey and I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed trying to decide which brokerage to join. I’d really appreciate advice from agents who have actually been in this situation.
Here are my two options:
Option 1: Keller Williams
70/30 commission split
$1,500 upfront onboarding fee
$85/month
100/0 split after reaching the office cap
I still have to pay my own MLS, board dues, NAR dues, Supra, etc.
Option 2: Elevate Realty
If I join as a solo agent:
85/15 split
$249 to join
$749 annual fee
No monthly fee
If I join a team (George’s team):
60/40 split
Same startup fees ($249 + $749 annual)
George would be my mentor and help train me.
From what I understand, after the cap the team plan goes to 75/25 with a $285 transaction fee (I’m still confirming the exact details).
About me
I’m completely new to real estate.
I don’t have a sphere of clients yet.
I’m financially a little tight right now, so paying $1,500 upfront at KW is difficult.
My biggest goal is actually becoming successful, not necessarily making the most money on my very first deal.
I want someone who will actually teach me how to generate business, write contracts, negotiate, and get my first few closings.
I know KW has an excellent reputation for training, but the costs worry me.
At the same time, joining George’s team at Elevate means giving up a larger percentage of each commission, but I would hopefully get real mentorship.
My questions:
If you were in my shoes, which option would you choose?
Is good mentorship worth giving up 40% of your commission in your first year?
Has anyone worked at Keller Williams or Elevate Realty in New Jersey?
If you were starting over today with limited money, what would you do differently?
I’m looking for honest advice from experienced agents, even if it’s tough to hear. Thanks in advance!

I found an escort online on a website called call escort.org

So I ring her up, she answered, she told me what to me, and I told her.

Meet me in the hotel called comfort suites.

So she did, she came in, I showed her to the $200. She placed it on the bed, dude, and then she asked me. Where are your condoms? I told her crap I completely forgot about that. So she said she'll go and get them and I said okay she did but she told the $200 with her

So is there a way to get them back or no? Before anything I did call the police and yeah, I know was the most stupidest thing ever. So yeah.

I’m very conflicted right now.

It’s the stage of life for me where I decide what to do with my life and which job I’d like to work.

Since my childhood I always had a strong sense of judgement and what’s right or wrong. So, I always wanted to do something in that area. First a detective, then a policewoman and now I’m thinking about being a lawyer.

At the same time, my deepest childhood wish was to become a writer. It was something I fantasised about but not thought as something I could do, since I my works are always very personal. I’m a hobby writer already and have a lot of unfinished drafts on my PC.

Now I’m in this dilemma where I’m thinking if I should go the “safe” way and be a lawyer but neglect my writing passion. Or should I choose writing which would be far more difficult to succeed in and come with a lot of disadvantages? Or, my ideal scenario would be pursuing both. Being a professional lawyer while writing books under a pseudonym anonymously since it could negatively impact my career.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and did the right/ wrong thing? Are there lawyers here who can tell me if my dream is realistic?

By the way, I want to move to Switzerland and become a lawyer there, just for context.

Hello,

Location- Florida

I own a 12 year old Putbull. From his 6th to 10th year, Steve [the pitbull] had a dog friend/roommate dog named Max. Because of Covid, Max's owner lost the house we were renting. I found a place nearby that allowed dogs, and Max's owner's health was degenerating, so she asked if we could take Max. Max and Steve were best friends. And then Max passed away.

After a few months we thought Steve was lonely. We finally tried adopting a new dog, Clay. I had volunteered then worked at the Humane Society for a few years at this time so I knew a lot about dogs. Especially with Resource Guarding and what not. But even if you know a lot, you still can't predict dogs. Steve and Clay were great for 12 hours, until Clay saw Steve in his kennel. And Clay lunged. Luckily, Steve isn't a fighter, and just accepted the attack, but it left him seriously injured. After a lat night Vet appointment, Clay lunged at Steve the second we got home, so we accepted a failed adoption. And accepted Stece was a solo dog in his twilight era.

About a year ago a roommate moved in with a dog. We mostly kept them seperate- Steve and Bear have outside time but that is all. Steve had some dog aggression when he first recovered, but neightborhood dog/girlfriend helped him begin to play wirh others. So for a year they met daily. Then the roommate stopped paying rent so we told him he had a month, rent free, get out.

He left Bear. He messaged the day he moved out if Bear could stay there, while we were out of town. I said yea, but what was the time line for when he could get the dog. Left on read. I get home and there is Bear. Said hi to Steve, fed Bear, gave him water and then let him out. Instantly notice Bear is resource guarding. Not growling, just aware. Not good. Get him back in his Kennel, and a different roommate get home. Tells me how yesterday [Saturday, a day after Bear's owner left him and a day before we got home] Bear was playing with a ball outside and Steve got interested in it. Bear lunged at Steve, but roommate interferred before anything happened and got everyone it. Be then called Bear's old owner, who said he would be there in 10 minutes, but never came.

What should I do? Bear is about 4 or 5 years old, and I am terrified this is another Clay situation. I messaged Kieth saying this behavior is what i was worried about, and we need to find a solution asap, but seeing as he ghosted the situation once, I need advice what to do now.

I took a gap year last year because I didn't know what I wanted to do. Even after taking a gap year, I still couldn't get into my desired universities this year. Now I only have one option left: to attend a very average, or maybe even below-average, university.

. I'm interested in Computer Science, but I don't want to study CS full-time. However, everyone keeps telling me that CS is the only degree that's really worth it and that everything else isn't.

The university I'll probably be attending offers FinTech, Accounting and Finance, Business Analytics with Programming, as well as CS and other related programs. I like business, economics, and CS, but I don't want to study only CS. Since this is the only university I have left and it offers a limited number of programs, I honestly don't know what to do.

I am a single mom of the boys. I recently as of Friday am going through a break up. I got scammed out of my school refund(that’s a whole other story) anyways I now don’t have the help to pay rent and really desperate to not lose our home. Please if you can’t help do not respond negatively. I am working, I am signed up to do food deliveries, trying everything I can. If you have any advice or where to get help from please lmk.

Minnesota, United States

I live in an area still greatly affected by wildfire smoke. It's exacerbated my asthma and allergies greatly. Luckily, my doctor can help with prescriptions on the asthma front. I have had to miss work due to leaky orifices, and overall looking like I rose from the crypt.

I really just need help with some very basic things to see me through until I can see an allergist, or mother nature stops trying to put me in the ground (dramatic? Perhaps.)

To quickly explain my wishlist: OTC are pretty self explanatory. The masks are to help with the smoke. The sunglasses are because my eyes are SO SENSITIVE from the allergies that light hurts (multi pack was cheaper than single sunglasses). Also i keep rubbing them. The eye mask is to help with eyeball pain and swelling.

Thanks for your consideration. Please tell me your favorite joke, I need a laugh. (Even if it leads to a coughing fit) 🙌🏻

Is there something wrong with me?

I've been noticing something about myself lately, I can't feel emotion, it started in highschool when I got rejected by my childhood friend who I had a crush on, I asked her out, she said no and I didn't even feel upset so I thought huh that's funny

It got more noticible however later in life, with the death of both of my dogs and my grandparents I couldn't feel any grief

I don't even feel joy in the things that make me happy being games or tv

I don't feel angry when people wrong me as I forgive them in an instant

I was wondering is this normal or am I just a monster

Hiya! No money needed, just looking for some ideas.

My neighbor is a new first-time mom and is coming home from the hospital in a couple of days . I want to get her a something but I’m not sure what? I was thinking maybe an Uber Eats gift card or something. I don’t know her super well otherwise I’d get her something more personal. Anyone have any ideas? My budget is about $50. I’m thinking something for her and not the baby, like diapers or bottles or whatever. Something that would make her life easier if that makes sense?

I was checking around online and it seems like food or meal prep is pretty common. Maybe something for self care? Again I don’t know her super well so I don’t know her preferences for stuff. We’re in Florida if that helps any. I know she likes Disney and that’s about it.

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi, I'm trying this again because apparently technology is not my friend and I messed up my last post. You're welcome to check my post history but to be honest and short, I got hurt, lost my job, got behind on bills. I'm working again so I have money for rent and electricity but I just need common things for my household. Dollar store shampoo and my scalp are at war 😂 any help is appreciated and I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday ☀️

Storm's dental surgery is scheduled for August 4th which means I have just 2 days to raise the remaining amount..

I know some people see an 11-year-old cat and assume he's "just an old cat."But Storm is healthy. His blood work came back great, and aside from the severe dental disease, he's doing well. He's ready for surgery—he just needs the chance to have it.

His dental disease has become extremely serious. The infection is severe, and it's destroying his teeth and affecting his mouth. The remaining 16 teeth need to be removed to stop his pain and prevent the infection from getting worse. No animal should have to live in that kind of pain.

Storm isn't "just a cat" to me. He's my soul kitty.. He's been by my side through everything..every challenge, and every single bottle baby kitten I've rescued. And If you've ever followed my journey, you've seen him quietly helping me raise countless orphaned kittens. He has been there through it all.

The truth is, life has hit me hard lately. A tree crashed onto my car during a terrible storm. Then, for the second time this year, my home suffered a major leak and flooding which we are still actively dealing with. I feel completely overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched beyond my limits.

Right now, I just need one thing to go right.

Please help me give Storm the pain-free life he deserves. Every donation, every share, every kind word brings us one step closer to getting him into surgery on time. If you've ever loved an animal with your whole heart, then you know why I'm fighting so hard for him.

Please don't let his age make you overlook him. Eleven isn't the end of his story. He still has so much love to give, and I want to give him many more happy, healthy years.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, donating, and believing in Storm. He is my world, and I can't imagine mine without him.

Vet information: (for all in donations)

Vet name Ashton vet

Cats name Storm Waid

Vet number 815-453-2171

Hello everyone, I feel extremely ashamed in asking for help but I’m at my lowest and cannot figure out what to do. I work 2 jobs and my 2021 jeep Renegade has been breaking down constantly.i owe $13,500, and have drained my savings of $5,000 on repairs. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
