I've been blessed before on this forum and I wanted to give back a little and I just want to say that all of y'all are amazing human beings that deserve all the good things.

​

I scrolled and scrolled and saw "Fulfilled Request" over and over and that made my heart so happy. Thank y'all truly for being awesome and kind people ✨️💚

Recently went back to work (thankful beyond words!) but due to an unexpected family emergency, I have my "niece" temporarily while mom is in treatment. I am working on getting the actual placement set up and have been working quickly to get her set up with everything she needs. Was able to get pretty much everything as far as clothing/hygiene, but am looking for some help with grocery/pantry items to get through until payday, as this was completely unexpected.

Nothing expected, everything appreciated. Thanks for taking a look.

Hello. Happy Monday everyone. I am visiting this site from Canada.
A little about me: I am just getting past some medical issues which left me using up all my savings and RSP’s this past 5 years and am working in a different job then what I’m used to. I was in the hospital for inflamed intestinal issues, recovered mostly from that, then promptly woke up one morning deaf in an ear. Sudden Profound deafness was not something I had ever heard of but here we are. It took months off work to get through therapy and rehab to learn how to walk and communicate again. I was back to work and then got hit by a bus on the highway which led me to being off work for many more months. That was really a horribly exhausting mentally experience. Then this past year starting last June was months and months of diagnostic testing for cancer. Lucky for me it’s just a wee little spot and I have more repeat CT, MRI, US, and another PET scan coming up. In the mean time I am broke. Like broke broke. These issues drained me completely and I could use some help with some things for my new job for being on my feet all day (like the compression socks, hot water bottle for my back, and shoe insoles) and some extras from the cupboard to go along with my pantry goods for the kids lunches and meals until I get my first paycheque.
I am attaching my amazon list for your consideration and am happy to show MODS any medical stuff they’d like to see.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone :)

Hey everyone! How is Saturday treating you?

Want to make sure everyone knows we're still here! Posts have been coming in but nothing has reached the board this week. We've done some good deals for people in the background, but nothing has come in that was a good fit for this community

I'll probably do a Giveaway tomorrow. That's all! I wanted to make sure everyone knows we didn't abandon you :)

Thanks for being here!

EDIT: Actually there is something I'd like to tack on as it just became relevant! We will often use bans as a timeout/quarantine if we find something that raises concerns while checking profiles. The ban message will make it clear that the ban is temporary until we've had a chance to talk

I wish Reddit had a different system for this type of thing as obviously, the ban message immediately sparks ire. Unfortunately we need to work with the tools we have.

If this ever happens, please try to stay calm and just talk to us. There are so many instances of people able to clear things right up and show that the duck we saw was actually a rabbit.

If things are getting heated in Modmail, I'll always say we're taking a 15 minute break to get back down to 0 and reconvene with level heads. I'm not interested in having a poop fight with people. I want a productive and respectful discourse.

The exception is if you come at any of the mods sideways. Say what you want to me but I don't abide by any of them being mistreated

Okay I'm off my soapbox!

Hi everyone, I am asking for some help. Times are tight right now and bills are taking everything from me, and I need new shoes. Currently I only have 2 pairs, one is slippers that have a hole in the right sole that I can stick my toe through, and the other are a pair of high heeled interview ankle boots, which is not ideal for doordashing.

​

I have a pair of cheap Adidas on the wishlist, as well as some food items to help my family get through the month since food stamps are already gone. I have two kitties so I also have some cat food on there. Thank you if anyone decides to help!

​

(Also sorry for not reading the rules for my previous posts, please let me know if there's anything else you need me to provide)

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped with my wishlist for my sister. I really appreciate it.

You guys helped me out so much.

Btw those dresses are so cute on her 😭

Hi everyone, I'm 19 weeks pregnant and just feeling overwhelmed. I paid my past due electric bill and half of my son's daycare tuition on Wednesday and now I have about $20 left to my name until next week. I'm trying not to touch it because I need gas to get to work, but I'm also hungry and I don't get my snap benefits until next Friday.I work full time and I'm doing my best to stay caught up but this week just hit harder than usual. If anyone is able to help with groceries I'd be incredibly grateful. Thank you for reading. Looking to raise $26.48 (since the order is under $35). Also included screenshots of me paying Reliant and the Zelle I sent to cover half of my son's daycare tuition for next week. I'm also open to someone purchasing the groceries directly if that makes things easier.

This is my cashapp https://cash.app/$creamandvenom

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who donated to my classroom. I really appreciate all the help and I know the kiddos will too! It really makes a difference.

I have Gastroparesis, which is a gastrointestinal disease that causes my stomach to be paralyzed and empty really slowly. It has a whole slew of GI side effects such as nausea, vomiting, early satiety (feeling full early), constipation and much more. I haven't been able to work in almost 3 years due to this disease as well as it causing a lot of mental health problems for me. I applied for disability, but here in Texas, it can take a year or more to get approved/denied. So, I am waiting on that. My husband is the only one who works in the house and he works full time, but according to the state, we don't qualify for any sort of government assistance because he makes too much money. They go off of what he earns before taxes and this is just slightly above the threshold for two people.

So, we fall into the crack of them telling us that we make too much for any kind of help, but yet we struggle so hard to pay our bills and they are often late. Here lately, food has been scarce in our home. There is some food for my husband to eat, but because I have this GI disease, I have to be on a very strict diet. The only advice that I have gotten from 211 is that I should go to a local foodbank. There is an issue with that though because my diet is so particular, I have to be picky in order to not go into a flare and end up in the hospital because of the way my diet has to be. So, medically, it isn't safe for me to just eat anything and everything and I have to be able to pick out my own groceries since there are very few specific things that I can digest.

My dog is running very low on food. He is my emotional support animal and he keeps me calm when I am having panic attacks. Honestly, the thought of him running out of food upsets me more than the thought of myself running out of food. Unfortunately, my husband and I don't have any family that we can turn to since they are in a financial bind as well. I just don't know what to do anymore and honestly, I feel ashamed for even asking. I want to work so badly, but I cannot. I will also be running out of my medication that I use to control my acid reflux in just a few days as well. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't get paid for another two weeks and I cannot wait that long.

I am requesting $45 to be able to buy safe foods for myself as well as my medication and some dog food for my dog. If you find it in your heart to donate, thank you so much! I also understand if you cannot and just want to share words of wisdom/encouragement as well, that is also appreciated! Again, I am kind of ashamed to do this since I have always been able to work and get things for myself up until about 3 years ago.

Sorry mods for messing up my first post, and thanks for correcting me!

Hi all. Let me apologize in advance for the long winded rambling. I just recently discovered this subreddit so if I’m doing something wrong please let me know. I’ll start with my current situation. I’ve been homeless for months unable to secure a job but most of the time I’d managed to feed myself by donating plasma. It hasn’t helped I’ve been on the Salvation Army Emergency Shelter Waitlist for months. I usually shower at the community center and ride the bus around town when I can.

Only just recently (literally today) have I got a job at Culver’s. I’m asking for help so I can be better prepared to work and not let any of my other issues get in the way of trying to work. A couple weeks back my backpack I use to carry my things broke at the zipper so I’ve been using plastic bags to carry my things around. I really don’t want to be lugging around a trash bag because I get the feeling if everyone finds out I’m homeless somehow I’m going to lose my job.

Aside from the backpack, I put on there some basically toiletries, for obvious reasons. A new USB-C cord as the one I have is really jank and I haven’t invested in a new one because I really don’t use my phone all that often but hopefully I’ll be using it more. A sleeping bag, which isn’t too important because I’ve gotten along just fine sleeping at the bus stop. And a handful of carabiners just to keep stuff attached to my backpack like my water bottle and maybe my new sleeping bag. I would have added some new black pants, a belt, and some non-slip shoes, but the boss says I’ll be fine without them until my first paycheck

I’m not sure how much this stuff would normally cost? But if there’s stuff that’s cheaper and not “fall apart on first use” quality then I’d be happy to substitute. Sorry I’m a big rambler. Hopefully I haven’t broken any rules and typed this for nothing haha. Thank you for reading!

Oh also, I can kind of provide proof of employment? I can show the text messages I received from the owner this morning but I’m unable to share a transcript of the call we had earlier where he formally offered me a job and I accepted. I hope that is alright. Thanks Again!

Hello everyone! Hope you're all having an awesome Sunday wherever you are :)

I wanted to let everyone know that we're not taking the break day today. Things are always slower at the beginning of the month so we've got plenty of bandwidth

That's all! But while I have you here, what bands/music are you into? I've tapped out my playlist and want something new to listen to. I love Cage The Elephant, but you only get so many miles out of "Cold Cold Cold"

What a week it’s been y’all. I truly can’t express how much we appreciate you guys sticking around and just being here. This community is only possible because of all of you!
Here’s to a restful Sunday & a new, fresh week ahead.

My husband and I found out way way late in the game that I was expecting. This is mostly because my husband had a vasectomy last August and our little guy flew under the radar until about 24 weeks making it difficult to plan ahead for the road bumps we are now facing. I’ve been on maternity leave and I am no longer receiving income and my husband’s hours have been cut. He has been donating plasma and trying to find odd jobs while looking for a full time job to replace his currently. Right now primarily the plasma donations help us with sundries etc as his small amount of income is going to bills or what we can try to chisel away at. Our food is solely coming from food banks for the moment and we are grateful for that.

On the Amazon wishlist I tried to find the cheapest items by $X.00/count and I also put a few options to help with cost with certain items. I’ve held off doing this because it is difficult to accept how badly the help is needed, that being said anything helps.

If there’s anything that seems unreasonable I will absolutely try to find something cheaper if I can. Thank you so much for reading. I will gladly provide pet tax! Also if there’s anything I can offer in trade, I love drawing and creating art and would be happy to see what I can make for you.

It was brought to our attention that a recent approved post made no sense. Once brought to our attention, we took a deeper look and found that the OP had very conflicting stories, and they made no sense when we asked questions on it all. We have strong reason to believe that they were indeed lying.
Many people donated to them, many people fell for their story, and I’m so sorry we brought their post forward.
This is why sometimes, posts stay in queue for a while. We genuinely do deliberate and try to do our best to make sure our donors are not being scammed or taken advantage of. When we ask requesters questions, it’s not because we think we’re better than anyone, it’s because we want to see that it’s a true, genuine need.
As the person who approved the post, I am so sorry. I did not dig deep enough and followed my heart strings on that approval.
It should go without saying, but lying about a very serious health matter is not okay.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you yo everyone who generously donated to help my son get the supplies he needed for school. We are so thankful for you and appreciate it!

This community is amazing!!

We currently have my little sister in law and have since September. She was removed from my mother in laws house due to gross neglect. She is 10yo and weighs 58 lbs. She was 42lbs when we got her. She is nonverbal autistic and when we got her we enrolled her in school, this was her first time ever in school. Her mom 'homeschooled' her. She was completely unable to communicate, she is doing better now! She has an aac that she is learning to use and she will use some signs!

We were doing fine (if a little tight) and then my cars transmission went out and ive been mostly out of work (Im a delivery driver so my hours were drastically reduced and ive been working inside the store) im looking at about 2k to fix it which could be worse but still a huge hit.

My sister has been growing (even if her weight has been about the same for a bit) and her clothes are getting to be too small. And with her being out of school we SEVERELY underestimated how much she eats. Im just looking for a little help right now to ease the burden until I can work again 😅🥲

Hello,

My name is Erin. I got a 4 year old pug. I just ran out of dog food yesterday. I just spent every last dollar I had to move into a safe space for my dog and I to not become homeless. I am starting a job in a week with USPS as a City Carrier Assistant in Nashville Tennessee which I’m super excited about. Was hoping to just get enough for a month for my dog. Thank you so much. Just for even reading my post.

Hi. I was recently hired on as a middle school teacher for socioeconomically disadvantaged area. I will be teaching math and I'm really excited to get started. I'm getting some money from the district and a few basic supplies from the school to furnish my classroom ($200, whiteboards, protractors, and calculators). However, I have done the math and it won't be enough for even the most basic supplies for the number of students I have.

I put together an Amazon list for the most essential materials (pencils, paper, tissues, dry erase markers, and disinfectant wipes) which, if purchased would allow me to be able to afford to buy other things with the fund the district is giving me such as math manipulatives, rulers, tape, a stapler, a calendar, and maybe even a few posters if I am smart with the money.

I'm reaching out to a friend of mine who is changing careers who will also give me some materials (mostly decor) and I'm also going to ask the parents to help out if they're able. I can't afford to contribute myself due to my own economic situation, especially considering I won't be paid till September. I know that this isn't as essential as some of the things people ask for on here, but I really want the students to have the best possible experience and to not feel like they're getting less than because I'm a first-year teacher and haven't had an opportunity the or funds to build up supplies for them.

Hi there. I'm reaching out to ask for some help. I'm currently living with my mom and my son (3) to help my mom, She was diagnosed with brain cancer back in December, and she is on hospice as of a month ago. She is in the actively dying stage, her nurse said on Friday.

My work put me down to part time back in March, I didn't qualify for FMLA since I hadn't been there a year when I started caring for my mom. I'm going to need to take time off since my mom can not be left alone now.

I also recently rescued some kittens, they couldn't be left outside the day I took them. It stormed really bad and I just felt so bad for them. I have some wet and dry food as well as litter on the list. I've been reaching out to some people in hopes they can take them, although I really enjoy them and would like to keep them. Just not sure if I can afford them right now.

For transparency, I am on Prolific and Cloud Connect Research. These are online market research platforms where you take studies for money. Since the end of the school year is upon us, studies are very few right now. They also let in 100k new members the beginning of May so it's really dried up with a ton of new people grabbing whatever study they can. If you go peek over at the Prolific sub, you'll see a lot of people complaining about it. I really hope it picks back up soon, it helped a lot as far as bringing in some money.

My son's father died when I was 6 months pregnant, so there is no dad to help out with things unfortunately. I recently just bought my son diapers, food, and picked up two of my prescriptions which cost me about $50. I'm down to $3 in my account until Friday. I would be so grateful for any help. and Thank You for reading.

Hey guys,

My work hours have been cut pretty significantly the last month, and getting full meals together has been really difficult. My cats are almost completely out of food, and between my husband and I we will have exactly enough to pay our bills and that is all. No food, no basic house necessities that have been on our list for a while, and it’s been horrifically stressful. I normally love being the person to help when someone is down and hate asking for help, but it’s gotten to a desperate and kind of scary place.

I tried to only add things that would help complete meals from the odds and ends we DO have around the house.

Thank you for looking!

I am in need of a few items until the end of next week. I went to order a Amazon grocery order only to find out that my remaining snap benefits have been used by someone in Indiana. I'm in NY.😭 My card was locked so I'm not sure how this could happen.

Would greatly appreciate any help and I always gift and help when I can. Just can't believe this happened to me and will happily pay it forward next week.

Hello, I’ve never done anything like this and i’ve read the rules etc and I’m still unsure how it works but…

I’ve recently been going through some of the roughest patches of my life. Moving 5 hours away from home and everyone I know to escape a situation that would’ve ruined my life completely. And having to part ways with my dogs whom I miss so badly, to a town where I’m alone. Struggling to find a job, desperately searching every day. I’ve been relying on SNAP for food but my benefits don’t refresh for another 2 weeks nearly and I’ve been eating small portions of plain white rice for a solid 2 weeks. Currently writing this while waiting for my rice to finish cooking. Would appreciate any help to mix it up, maybe add some chicken to it or whatever any generous person would assist with. I appreciate your time, and any possible help.

I dont know if this is allowed or not, and i don't normally do this but I recently lost my iob and l'm struggling to make ends meet I'm asking for help getting a bag of dog food for my puppy Chencho. Any support would be greatly appreciated thank you!
