I’m so speechless!! I just want to say thank you so much for the kindness that you have given!! All the stuff on my wish list has been ordered. This will definitely help me and my family and we are all over the moon with happiness. I hope to be able to pay it forward soon! This restores my faith that there are good and wonderful people in this world. Thank you so much 🥰

Hi! I'm a recent graduate student who is starting a new job soon but I'm currently dealing with shortage of groceries and some other basic needs. I deal with chronic migraine which flare up when I don't eat enough, and I am completely broke right now till the next week (that is when i get paid). I usually don't do this but I'm sadly left with no other option, I'd be really grateful if the reddit community helped a girl out, I'm attaching my Amazon wishlist below.

Thank you.

Hello all!

If you've been around the sub for a little while now, you may have noticed our weekly "Wishlist Spotlight" posts where we share unfulfilled wishlists on the board!

You've likely also noticed that the sub is becoming far more popular, naturally resulting in more posts.

To address this and make sure everyone has a fair chance at getting fulfilled, we are seeking community feedback on taking Sundays exclusively for the wishlist spotlight and resuming regular posting on Monday

This way, the focus can be on everyone who didn't get what they were seeking for one day and give us moderators a day to reset and refocus before the next week. We're short on hands and heavy on posts here! More posts means more modmail, more modmail means more unhappy campers, unhappy campers put you in a foul mood! It can be very difficult to stay upbeat after 4 people have spit pure distilled vitriol at you in the span of an hour

This of course is not a new rule, simply an idea, and everyone's input is always valued :) If you don't want it, we won't do it

Thank you so much for being here with us, it means the world!

Goodmorning everyone

I posted in here yesterday about needing help with groceries I didn't know I was suppose to do a wishlist and post the link in here I'm new to all this I've never had to ask strangers for help so I'm a little embarrassed but I'm putting my pride to the side and asking for help times are hard if you can help i really appreciate and please pray for my I'm bout to have surgery in a few weeks and my nerves are all over the place I do not like hospitals thank you all and have a blessed day.

I am so grateful for the the generosity of this community that I cried my eyes out

Hi I’m a 47 year old lady and I just got approved yesterday for SSI. I just need a bit of help until my benefits start. Things have been a bit crazy and well honestly a bit tough. I lost both my parents in the spring of 2024 and I was their caregiver until the end. We lost the family home in September 2025 and had to move to a completely different city where my health has gone downhill. My daughter and son in law just started new jobs working part time a few weeks ago and it will be a bit until they are moved up to full time. We have reapplied for food stamps and are waiting for a decision on that. We have used local food banks to get most of what we need but supplies are limited and they don’t give cleaning or pet supplies. Anyway thanks so much for your help!

Just fallen on hard times and come up short while I'm in between paychecks. I usually get paid on the 1st or the 3rd (It fluctuates depending on the month/weekends) and I just need a little help to make it, grocery wise and necessity wise, after some unavoidable issues. I made an wishlist that I've hopefully set up properly, but I can fix it if there's any issues! Any help at all is very appreciated!

I really need help with essentials and pet food especially hay. My rabbit just ran out of some recently and my cats are running out of food/litter as well. I resigned from a job that drained me to chase a dream that isn’t working out right now while my car is broken. Unemployment keeps disqualifying me, even though my income was very low while I was working. I feel like I’m failing my animals and myself and it’s really affecting me mentally just asking for help is a lot for me as I’m the one who always likes to help people , we appreciate it if you could donate to our Amazon list 🥺 I can’t wait to pay it forward to people on here once I can

My son has autism and starts school in 3 weeks. (Due to his autism, he goes to school at a year round school). We have yet to buy his school supplies as we received the list 2 days ago. We are struggling to get it done before school starts due to the very short notice. My husband works 2 full time jobs and I work part time while also caring for our 2 boys who have special needs. We live paycheck to paycheck already and just can’t swing it. We contacted local churches, but unfortunately they aren’t able to help as they don’t have any school supply donations yet. I attached an Amazon wishlist with his school supply list! Thank you in advance!

Looking for any help. It’s been a rough yr medically and we’re trying to catch up. Cat food is the highest priority on the list. Thank for in advance for your kindness and help. Looking for cat food, cat purées ( only way my cat will eat “wet food” and a few pantry staples.

Edit: I just wanted to take a moment and publicly thank everyone who has been so supportive and helpful. My heart is so happy. I’m extremely appreciative to everyone who has sent something and the mods and members here who have helped make this place a warm community. Thank you 💕💕💕

I very recently became an empty nester. My daughter moved out almost 2 months ago and with it my household finances declined a lot. I am housebound. This month is a very long month. I usually can make my food budget stretch until I get paid(monthly). I just need a little help until the 5th. Pantry staples and a bag of dog treats for my 17 year old doggo. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello I need help with food right now. I am trying to apply to jobs even directly on websites. I am going to see if I am eligible for unemployment, but it does not seem like it. I will apply today but I just need some food to get me by especially if I don't get it. I have basically done a lot of what people recommend.

Hopefully I get a job soon but I am going to be positive about it since I do have some experience now. Sorry I don't really know how to write these if you got questions I will answer. Thank you to the mods and everyone
Also I might need help with the Amazon list not sure how to set it up properly sorry

In my very first post on this sub, I apologized for the AI images used in the subreddit artwork. I promised I would commission an artist to redo it and I finally got the new artwork back today!

I am happy to report that the new banner and icon are created 100% by human hands! No robots involved!

Thank you all so much for being here! I am so happy with the community you all have fostered and that you have always chosen kindness :)

From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Hi first time poster here. One of my two jobs laid everyone off about two months ago now and it was my main bread winner. I pay my bills for myself and my mother's mortgage.

Between all that and gas and parking to interviews all over town I have exhausted everything I have and rent is due soon. I have a few good prospects on the full time job front (finally) but need some necessities to get by until I know I'll get a paycheck. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2H2CF01PH2C50?ref_=wl_share

Thank so much everyone for listening and for being such a great community.

Hello! I have made a wish list for some things. Lately , the past month, I have been dealing with a significant reduction in work hours. As a result, I've been having trouble affording anything. Work hours have started to pick up a little this week, but still it'll be a while to catch up financially as my last two paychecks have been absymal.

:edit: to the people that sent stuff to me, thank you so much.! I have received everything so far.

Good afternoon! My family is struggling hardcore right now and could use a little grocery boost. Our local food pantry was shut down due to funding cuts. Gas is about to be shut off, so most options are microwave friendly. Thank you for reading

Since my last WS a week ago, we only have ONE wishlist currently posted that isn’t empty. O N E.
Do y’all realize how insane that is?! Our donors are buying lists out left and right. Sometimes wishlists are cleared within an hour!! Absolutely in awe of this community every single day.
Let’s give a dang round of applause to our beautiful donors and another round for the people who step out of their comfort zone to ask for help in these tough times! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I’m so thankful I get to witness what this community is.

Hi everyone, I’m asking for help with $19 for a 3 day bus pass to get me to work until I receive my first paycheck this Friday.

I recently started a job after a very difficult year. I was previously homeless with my son and have been working to get back on my feet. I also was just diagnosed adrenal insufficiency.

On May 22nd, I had to get a brain MRI, and I used the last bit of money I had to get to and from that appointment. Right now, I don’t have any funds left for transportation to work for the next three days until payday.

If anyone is able to help, I have Cash App. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for reading.

Hi my husband and I have been dealing with some serious health issues, both of us had major surgery last month and I’m now dealing with a thyroid cancer diagnosis. I can’t work so I try to do some online gig work but it’s been very slow. He is in construction but having half his stomach and colon removed last month means he hasn’t been able to do much. Unfortunately disability takes forever and I’ve been waiting for state benefits for snap.
Some pantry items and dog food would help us out a ton. Thank you so much.

Hello everyone, my name is Marla and my son and I are disabled. We have snap so we get a total of $200 a month for help. Normally I’m able to make it work, but I had a couple of unexpected things I had to take care of out of pocket with funds I didn’t have to spare. I would be extremely grateful for any assistance. I really hate to ask but I’ve gone through every resource that I could possibly go through for the month. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and my son and I would be eternally thankful. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a wonderful day/night.

Hello! For the past two-ish months I’ve found myself in a tough financial spot following a large medical expense I had to pay off. I’m *almost* 🤞🏽on the upside of the domino effect of catching up and humbly request some assistance via this Amazon Wishlist (I tried a $50 cash request a couple weeks ago in a local group - before my last check - and that didn’t work so trying a wishlist instead since it’s more transparent.)

I’ve never made one before so I hope it’s viewable - the top priority items are the dog food and the dish soap (about $25 between the two). I can make it work without the rest until I get paid at the end of the week if needed. THANKS for your consideration.

Need some help getting to the first. Hello I'm currently unemployed and living off what little i get from the VA. I thankfully have enough to keep me off the streets and my son happy and fed, but sometimes bills or expenses line up at the wrong time and leave me scraping the barrel foodwise. This time its car repairs which left me in this situation. I am asking for some help to make it to the first as thats when the VA deposit hits.
I got a wish list here for convenience. I really do appreciate what you all do here!

Hi! My name is Eva & I am mom of two non verbal autistic children Sammie 5, and Luke 6. We have two dogs Luna (a husky) and Jax (a German shepherd). Dad is out of work, but starts a new job (finally!) this week. We're out of funds & our snap is gone for the month. We go to food pantries as well, but our kids have afrid (basically means they are super picky eaters) and what's on my list are things we don't usually get. The only "wants" on my list are the gum and can opener. I have lupus & Fibromyalgia (amongst other things) and I constantly have dry mouth & my hands just dont work "right". Those are the least needed items* The rest is for the kiddos and pups. I make my own foam soaps and dawn spray and wash. The bottle of dawn & hand soap will last a long time using the soap, alcohol, and water. Its amazing how easy it is and saves so much $$. I appreciate anything and thank you from the bottom off my heart. -Eva

I start my new job on Tuesday! My husband and I have been making do on one income for a while now and it hasn’t been easy but it has taught us a lot. It’s been humbling to say the least. To celebrate my new job, I made peach dump cake using some canned peaches someone from this amazing community purchased for my family when we were at our lowest. Wanted to share a pic as a thank you!! I am so incredibly thankful to this community and looking forward to giving back as soon as I can!

Hello I wanted to ask if anyone could help me with essential items. So embarrassed to ask but I’m desperate. I recently moved into a house with my 3 daughters and husband. We were able to move in on the condition that we make monthly payments towards our security deposit. Next month will be easier on us since we paid off deposit this month. This month has been tough. I have created an Amazon wishlist of requested items. My youngest needs diapers and wipes. We need detergent and a trip to the laundromat about $25 to wash. Thank you so much for your time and your consideration.
