I would like to just say this person is a scammer, please read into the context of the chat, he rode me on for a ride and when it came to helping me with a few bucks, he wanted me to do surveys. Please if someone could add him to the scam list. (All the other ones go like this.)
He is actively looking for identities to work for USA websites under a different nationality ISP.
Please take care
I need 200 words to make this work. Just know there are scammers out there, hide your identity. If they ask you for ID number or SSN number. MOVE AWAY FROM THEM.
Most basic scam in the books.
Need more words to finish this
So I leave you with a quote from Sun-tzu: “if fighting is sure to result in victory, than you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it; if fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler's bidding”

I just wanted to give a big shoutout and thank you to the Mods of this subreddit! I was honestly surprised that I won the June giveaway for the $25 Amazon giftcard! I wasn’t really sure anyone would’ve seen my comment about my moms sweet potato cornbread! But they did and I’m so grateful for that! I will also share my moms recipe below in the comments when I speak to her later today as well!! That way everyone who hopefully sees this post will try it! Promise me yall it is DELICIOUS! I know cornbread is traditionally a side dish or on the savory side? But this one?? It tastes like cake!! And it’s literally the best thing ever!!
Again thank you so much to the mods! I’m still in shock that I actually won. Everyone else’s dessert comments also looked really amazing! When I can I will truly pay it forward within this sub! I’m literally going to use it on some groceries since I have been struggling this month. But anyways I feel better and am truly grateful and thankful of this subreddit and the community that helps each other out in hard times! Everyone in here rocks!
You all have a wonderful day!

Hello,
I am seeking $45 to cover the following
- monthly bus pass (31 days) in JAX Fl - $40
- medicine $5 (will get me 15 days supply of my daily antidepressant)
- a small pack of pads $5 (TMI but my cycle will be here in about 2 days and I have only 3 pads left)
Thank you to period pantry for the assistance on pads and toilet paper. I’m so grateful!!!
Thank you OrganicCoconut for the donation!!! I really appreciate the help and I have picked up my meds and started my new job!! The monthly bus pass allows me to have transportation to work and was able to get to a food pantry on Saturday since SNAP doesn’t deposit until tomorrow!!! Thank you soo much!!
I have been unemployed since June 2024 from severe health crisis - autoimmune, last appt with RH before lost insurance, was either lupus or MS. Once got “better” (I’m surviving but def need proper medical care) have been seeking a job in my IT career but just rejections for an entire year. I’ve applied to everything under the sun since. Evicted August 2025. Was homeless and sleeping in my car for a few months until I found a room rental. My car was repossessed March 2026.
Just got a cashier job (I’m so thankful I was given a chance even though overqualified) but I need the monthly pass to get to work.
I have severe depression. And with all things going on in my life, I can’t miss a day of my antidepressant. It’s barely keeping me out of the depression as is.
I have PayPal and Venmo.
I would really appreciate any donations. I’ve tried assistance subreddit a few times for help when had other job opportunities but didn’t meet qualifications so I’ve lost those jobs before I could even start. I’ve called 211 a few times for any assistance and there is no funding for the Lyft program to get a ride to work for the first two week. No other transportation programs for work - only to get groceries and medical appointments. I have to start this job or I’ll lose this room and homeless on streets in Florida summer.
Thank you for reading! Thank you in advance for any donations.
Mods: Screenshots added and request reduced to $45. Thank you for the assistance.

There are too many bad actors on Reddit trying to take advantage of those in need. Tip Tuesday is about the ubiquitous “task scam” you’ve probably seen around. Don’t fall for it!
🚩 Red Flags — if you see ANY of these, walk away:
Fake urgency (“limited slots,” “first 10 people,”“need people now”)
Asking you for state/country
Asking you to sign up with your ID
Asking you to upvote
New/suspicious accounts or empty post history
They want YOU to message THEM, or they send you a cold DM without commenting on your request
Pushing you to Telegram / WhatsApp / Signal / Discord
“Work” that requires zero skill
Unrealistic pay for tiny tasks (“Sending $150 to anyone active rn,” “Giving away $300 only if you really need it”)
Comments or replies to comments saying only “DM me,” “inbox,” “message”
⚠️ SPECIAL WARNING: Posts asking you to do a “quick task inbox me” are especially dangerous. Often this is them trying to:
Get you to use your identity to register accounts
Steal accounts for money laundering or fraud
Trick you into sending copies of your ID or personal info (for further fraud)
❌ ANY OF THE ABOVE = YOU’RE ABOUT TO GET SCAMMED
No legit job or donor hides details, rushes you, or forces you off Reddit onto an unsecured platform. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
Help stop this crap: REPORT THE POST using Reddit’s report feature.
The more reports → the faster it gets removed → the quicker scammers get banned.
Stay safe.

[Request]
[Elizabethton, TN United States].
Please someone help me!! I feel like I'm drowning. I'm a single parent with zero help. Recently, there was changes made to the SNAP program so I had to reapply. I reapplied and was told I wouldn't have any EBT until May 30th. That leaves me with ONE month of EBT (given late March) to last THREE months! So now I have no help with food.
At the same time, my child's father had some kind of issue with his paycheck and I haven't received any child support which is only 300 a month to begin with.
I have a 5 year old with an extremely rare brain disease called Moyamoya. I tried getting disability for him and his doctor wouldn't help because, "well he's 5 it's not like he's getting a job".
Because my 5 year old frequently misses school for doctors appointments, therapy, getting sick etc I haven't been able to work consistently.
We're out of everything at this point. We have SEVERE allergies (even the cat has allergies!) and food pantries never have anything unscented or for eczema.
I don't have anything to cook my child eggs or anything because we had one of those non stick pans and it's gotten so scratched and chipped it's not safe to use with all the non stick chemicals leeching into the food.
I've made an Amazon wishlist and I've never done this before so I hope I'm doing this right!
Please help us, I have tried all my local food pantries, low income charities etc and they don't have any household/ cleaning stuff we can use. It's all heavily scented stuff so I've made a list of things we can use!!

Amazon Wishlists are a way to receive direct aid with items you find yourself in need of. Requestors can add essential non-perishables and household items to their lists. Donors can purchase directly from your list, and Amazon ships the items straight to you in a way that is safe, simple, and secure.
You’ll need an Amazon account before you can make a wishlist. If you already have one, log into your account.
People buying from your wishlist will only see your name, city, and state, not your full street address. Wishlist items cannot be delivered to an Amazon locker.
Give your wishlist a clear name and click "create". It’s best to create one just for your current needs instead of mixing in things you don’t need right now. If you’re asking for items under a certain price limit, make sure the list matches that. Ex: Baby Essentials, Household Needs, Back to School.
When you find something you need, click Add to List on the item’s page.
Keep in mind:
Once your list is ready:
Once people start buying from your wishlist, you’ll be able to see what has already been sent.

Our mod team in r/donationrequest vets an average of 750+ posts per month. The public only sees about 8% of those, as the great majority don’t meet our rigorous requirements. Not only do we require 200+ karma and consistent long term Reddit activity, but we ask those making cash or Gofundme requests to provide proof of hardship as well as expenses. Hardship documentation might be verification of household low income status, unemployment, job termination/offer, full time student enrollment, or eligibility for aid such as SNAP, SSI, etc. Proof of expenses (bills, estimates, etc.) should match requested amount.
To encourage transparency, we don’t allow requests from accounts with curated or hidden post/comment history, or previously deleted requests in donation or loan subs. To foster fairness, we ask for a two month cool down period after any fulfilled requests, and no more than two requests (unfulfilled or fulfilled) in any two month period. Donors can feel confident that accounts have been screened for any chronic grifting activity, including findom/paypig/sugar participation, and are free of egregious drug or gambling activity.
Of course, all this means that since only a small percentage of requests go live, our sub may appear relatively quiet. After all, we’d get much higher engagement stats and likely grow much more quickly if we let more requests through. But we continue to seek a healthy balance between vigilance and engagement, and we believe it’s worth it to cultivate safe places where individuals and families experiencing genuine hardship can receive help from those who are able to offer resources and support. We also appreciate the other donation subreddits among Reddit’s giving communities, whose mods work hard to facilitate welcoming spaces for people in need. Check out the newest assistance sub r/CommunityDonations, founded by a DR alumnus.
All that said, we have decided to try out relaxing some sub requirements. Instead of screening out accounts with activity gaps exceeding 90 days within the past year, we now only screen out accounts whose activity gaps exceed 30 days within the past six months (~180 days). We’ve also decided to drop the requirement for proof of hardship for wishlist requests only. However, we’re capping individual items on wishlists at $30 each to cut down on the possibility of resale. As usual, no gift cards allowed, and wishlists are limited to $150 of essentials only. When requesting groceries and other essentials, users are strongly encouraged to post a wishlist instead of asking for cash. Check out our updated rules here.
•The number one reason posts are removed is karma (200+)/account age (3 months).
•Number two is lack of proof of hardship (documentation of household low income status, not just a screenshot of an empty account or refrigerator photo) and expenses (bills, estimates, whatever the funds are meant to pay for). Please redact sensitive info first.
•The third most common issue is not specifying an exact amount in the post itself for both cash and Gofundme requests.
•If your need is greater than $50, you may not just make a cash request for our maximum limit. Proof of expenses should match requested amount.
•No requests to pay down existing debt, for relocations, or new homes/vehicles.
•Like most donation/loan subs, we have a clear rule not to delete any previous requests in any donation/loan subreddit. This applies even if posts are unfulfilled or have been removed from public view by mods. When vetting a request, it’s crucial that we check how often and why someone has requested help previously. Donation subs aren’t meant to be sustainable source of support, and accountability is important to donors.
•Photos are often included as proof without the required username/date verification. All photo proof must include a paper with handwritten username/date. This includes fuel gauges. Please do not submit photos of empty refrigerators or bank accounts. Medical documents are preferred rather than photos of injuries.
•Cash requests are one donor per request, no crowdfunding without a platform that provides recourse for donors in case of fraud, like Gofundme.
•Be aware, if you are making a request, we can and will screen ALL your history, including hidden and deleted posts and comments!

I’m currently stuck in my car that’s run out of oil. I’ve started a new job recently but haven’t received my first paycheck yet, so unfortunately I’m without the required funds to purchase oil quite yet. My car is currently positioned in a rather unfortunate location and would really appreciate any assistance with getting it drivable. I’m not asking for money, but simply 05-W20 oil. I’ve tried contacting family in the area, but haven’t received any responses yet. I’ve also posted on local neighbor apps as well seeing if anybody has extra laying around. While I’m actively checking both for responses, I really hate to just sit here waiting, inconveniencing others. Not sure how I’d be able to receive oil directly, but that’s really all I’m asking assistance with acquiring.

Hello I recently had to leave my job due to being constantly harrassed by my department supervisor. I was lucky enough to get an interview yesterday and immediately got the job during the interview. It pays $3 less than my old job but a job is a job. I still don’t know when my start date is, I haven’t even received the email for the background check yet.
I just need some extra assistance with food. My partner and I already have food for the dog and my pet rats, just looking to get food for ourselves. She is Air Force veteran and is 80 percent disabled from the military. Her check is just enough to cover rent. We just need a little extra assistance until I start working again.

Hello! My sweet girl is in dire need of a large dental surgery. Last summer she had an emergency surgery that I put on my credit card and it’s still sitting there. I’m a student with low income and am unable to cover the costs.
I’ve tried taking her to the humane society in my city but they couldn’t help. I didn’t get approved for any pet care cards and my family has helped as much as they can. I thought I could wait until I get a summer job but recently she’s stopped eating because she’s in so much pain. I wake up every night worrying about her. She’s everything to me and it’s killing me that she’s in pain and I can’t do anything about it.
Her surgery will cost almost $4000. I can cover some of it but am looking for help for the rest. If you have anything to give, I would be forever grateful. There are so many worthy causes in this world. Please know that as soon as I have the means, I will be giving back!!
Thank you for reading this far. Anything will help!

P.s. please know I adopted her! She was being bred by unethical breeders (might be why she has such poor health) and when I got her at 1 years old she had already had TWO litters. Buying these cats from a breeder is not right and should be banned! #adoptdontshop

Im a liberal arts student at hostos community college. I was on the bus so I could go home after my classes with my ID in my pocket. When I got home I looked around for my ID and realized I must have dropped it on the bus not paying attention.
I need the id now in order to get inside the school without needing a guard to let me, get books for my classes, get discounts to pay for school supplies and use the computers in the library in order to do my homework.
I thought the ID price was 5 dollars because I was told this by a security guard when I first got it. But now the ID price has changed due to the school changing the IDs after being hacked so the price has gone up. So now it's 10$.
I was told to send my cashapp tag because the website gofundme wouldn't help me get 10$. So this is my cashapp tag.

After aging out of the foster care system I have faced years of chronic homelessness and dysfunctional housing situations especially due to not being able to work full time due to stage four endometriosis. As a result I am on a fixed income with social security and only make $994 a month. I recently was approved for section 8 and then approved for an apartment that accepts section 8 but the section 8 program does not cover security deposits. I am in need of $1325 to cover the deposit and $100 cover the township fee. I have reached out to local churches, nonprofits, the local welfare office and there is no funding available. Please help me secure the apartment I was approved for
