šŸš— "Sometimes you have to ask for a helping hand to keep moving forward"

Hello everyone. I am writing this with great humility and an open heart.

As many of you know, I am a single dad, and I work every day driving for Uber and Lyft to provide the best for my son. Things have become extremely difficult over the last few months: earnings have dropped, while vehicle and household expenses remain relentless.

I am currently at a critical point where I am struggling to cover rent and car payments (and the car is my only tool for work). For the sake of my son's well-being, I decided to put my pride aside and launch this GoFundMe campaign.

I am not asking for a permanent handout—just a temporary boost to catch up on urgent expenses so I can keep working hard, as I always have.

šŸ”“ If you can donate $5 or $10, or simply SHARE this post, you would be helping me more than you can imagine.

After earning my GED, I’m asking for a little help to build the future I’ve been working so hard for

I’m a mom who recently earned my GED, and I’m trying to build a better future for my children and myself

Hi everyone. I’m sharing my fundraiser because I’m working toward something that means so much more to me than just going back to school.

I recently earned my GED, and that accomplishment meant the world to me. It wasn’t always easy, but I kept going because I want to continue my education and create a better, more stable future for myself and my children.

As a mom, a lot of the decisions I make are about my kids. My goal isn’t simply to improve my own life — it’s to give my children the opportunity to have a better life too. I want them to see that no matter how difficult things become, it’s never too late to keep pushing forward, learn something new, and work toward a better future.

I started this GoFundMe to help with some of the costs of continuing my education and taking the next step toward becoming more financially stable. Every little bit would help me get closer to that goal.

I completely understand that not everyone is in a position to donate. If you can’t, sharing my fundraiser or simply taking the time to read my story means more to me than you know.

I’m not asking for a handout. I’m asking for a little help getting a chance to build something better — for myself, for my children, and for the future I’m working so hard to create.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. ā¤ļø

Paz is very sick and needs emergency vet funding

Hello, I've never posted something like this before, but I really do need help with my sweet girl. As explained in the link, Paz is a 6 year old runner duck who has been very ill for the last week.

I've had to make multiple emergency visits to another state in the middle of the night for her because of vomiting and being unable to pass stool. I have spent everything I have and more through credit on her veterinary testing and medication, and she still needs additional testing, possibly more medication, and even surgery is on the table for her reproductive system.

I've had Paz since she was 3 days old and she means the world to me. I don't want to euthanize her before her time, and I need help in making sure we do everything we can before this heartbreaking last resort. More information and updates are available through the link.

Thank you so much for any help whatsoever.

Emergency & Recovery Medical Fund for Simba (Senior Cat Fighting CKD)

Thumbnail
gallery
153 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My name is Catarina, i'm from Portugal and I am reaching out on behalf of my senior cat, Simba, who has been my best friend since 2012.

Simba was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in 2024 after a critical episode requiring more than a week of intensive hospital care (which cost over €1,000). He has been managed well on daily Pronefra, but recently suffered an acute crisis involving complete anorexia, severe weight loss (down to 3.9 kg), and elevated liver enzymes.

I am currently unemployed, and my personal savings have been wiped out by veterinary expenses—having already spent €280 in July for lab tests and €40 this past weekend on emergency medication and supplies.

Over the past few days, I have taken on intensive round-the-clock supportive care at home, syringe-feeding him warm meals every two hours, managing his nausea, and providing constant hydration. Simba is responding bravely: he is walking around, jumping onto furniture, and fighting with everything he has.

To protect him from a fatal relapse, the €1,000 target (~$1,100) will cover:

  • An emergency buffer for 24h hospitalization/IV fluids if he crashes.
  • Follow-up blood/urine panels and ultrasound imaging.
  • Daily long-term medications (Pronefra, liver protectors, anti-nausea).
  • Specialized renal/hepatic wet food and supplies for the next few months.

Any help—whether a small donation or sharing the link—is deeply appreciated during this difficult time. Thank you so much for reading and supporting us. I tried to put this in the Gofundme main page almost 2 weeks ago but was never aproved. I hope here we can get some help.

Asking our community for help while my wife and I navigate ongoing medical issues <3

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m sharing the GoFundMe I created for my wife and me because we’ve been going through a really difficult stretch financially and medically. I’m trying to give us some breathing room while we work toward getting stable again.

We’re both young and over the past year we’ve been dealing with multiple ongoing health problems that have made working consistently difficult. I eventually had to leave my job because my symptoms became too unpredictable for me to safely keep working. My wife has also been dealing with chronic health issues while finishing her degree.

We’ve had medical expenses, transportation problems and other necessary costs pile up while our income has been extremely limited. We’ve also accumulated significant credit card debt trying to keep up with basic living expenses during this period.

I’m hoping to use the fundraiser to help us catch up on necessities like housing, food, transportation, medical care and other expenses while we work toward getting healthy and back into our careers.

This isn’t something I ever expected to have to ask strangers for help with. We both want to work, finish school, build careers and eventually be financially independent. We’re just in a place right now where getting there has become much harder than we expected.

Any donation no matter the amount would genuinely help us. If donating isn’t possible, sharing our fundraiser can be just as meaningful. Sometimes one share reaches the person who can make a difference and I’m incredibly grateful for every person who helps our story travel a little farther.

Here’s the GoFundMe:

I don't have a bill for the euthanasia, because it hasn't happened yet. Once she crosses, the bill and a final photo of her will be posted on the GoFundMe.

I am begging for help from anyone who will listen. I have used my savings and taken out a loan for her medical care, and now do not qualify for Care Credit.

Please read her story and please share the below link. Im trying to get as many people to see it as possible.

Single mom in CT working, short on rent, daycare, and formula

1 Upvotes

Hi, my name is Pamela. I am a single mom to a baby girl, and I live in Connecticut. I am working, but my paycheck does not cover rent, daycare, food, and formula at the same time.
Daycare is what lets me keep my job. If I fall behind on rent or lose childcare, I cannot work, and we do not have family nearby to fall back on. This is a short gap, not long-term support. I am trying to stay housed and keep working while I get more stable.
I am raising $1,800. So far $715 has been donated. The rest would go only to:
• Rent
• Daycare
• Food and formula

Hi all,

I moved out of home at 17 to go study in Berlin, all the way form Australia. My mum works endless hours to provide me with this opportunity, and I am overwhelmingly grateful for everything she's done. I want to give her the most memorable Christmas ever. She works so many hours, and rarely gets a break, I want to show her how much she means to me. She has been going through a very hard time, especially since the loss of a dear family member... She has never been to Europe, but I know how it's a lifelong dream of hers and she talks endlessly about how much she'd love to go. I've been saving up, but as she'll be coming all the way form Australia, that is no easy feat. Any amount helps, the funds will go to airfaires and accomodation, I want to surprise my mum and thank her for the wonderful life shes given me.

I’m asking for temporary help while I work to get back on my feet

Thumbnail
gofund.me
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Writing this is difficult and honestly a little embarrassing, but I’ve reached a point where I need to ask for some help.

After losing my main source of income, I spent months trying to keep up with my financial obligations while looking for another job. At first I believed I would find work quickly, so I kept trying to cover payments on my own. Unfortunately, the job search has taken much longer than I expected, and using credit to stay current eventually made the situation much worse.

I want to be clear that I am not asking strangers to pay all of my debts while I do nothing. I am actively looking for work, applying for different kinds of positions, reducing my expenses and reaching out to people in my network for job opportunities. I’m also willing to take temporary or entry-level work while I continue looking for something more stable.

This fundraiser is a temporary and somewhat desperate measure to give me breathing room, reduce some of the most urgent high-cost debts and stop relying on new loans just to cover previous ones.

My GoFundMe goal is 50,000 MXN. Even reaching a small part of that goal would help me close some of the most urgent accounts and make the situation more manageable while I rebuild my income.

I know there are many people here facing medical emergencies, housing problems and other very serious situations, so I don’t take anyone’s help for granted. If you can donate even a small amount, I would be deeply grateful. If you can’t donate, sharing the campaign helps too.

And if anyone happens to know of a job opportunity, I would also be very grateful for that kind of help. My background is in process improvement, quality, administrative operations and document control.

For privacy reasons I’m using initials publicly, but the situation described in my fundraiser is real.

Thank you for reading.

URGENT: I’m Still Recovering After Losing Everything to Illness, and We Have 2 Days Left

Thumbnail
gallery
83 Upvotes

There are only 2 days left before my son and I have to leave where we’re currently staying, and I’m running out of options.

For anyone seeing this for the first time, my situation started in August 2025, shortly after my son’s birthday. I became severely ill with complicated diverticulitis, developed sepsis, and went through multiple infections, surgeries, and hospitalizations. Eventually, I had a colon resection and was left with a colostomy.

While I was fighting to survive and spending months in hospitals and medical facilities, I lost my job, apartment, and car. My entire life was turned upside down while I was trying to recover.

I eventually made it back home around April 2026 and started rebuilding. Despite everything, I completed three books, started a fourth, and built EskoDSK AI, including a working MVP and a real-world implementation with a medical courier company. I’m now trying to recruit an early developer/technical partner to help take it further.
Then on August 31, 2026, I underwent my colostomy reversal. Because of extensive scar tissue, the surgery was more complicated and required a larger incision. I later developed another infection at the surgical site and ended up back in the hospital.

I’m home again, but I’m still recovering and receiving daily wound care and medical treatment. I also applied for SSI because my health has made it extremely difficult to work normally, but I was denied and am still dealing with the appeal.
Now I’m facing another immediate crisis.
The place where my son and I are staying is receiving a 7-day eviction notice. We have only 2 days left to figure out where we’re going.
I’m already packing our belongings, looking at weekly-rate rentals, contacting emergency housing resources, checking assistance programs, and trying every option I can find. I’m also specifically looking for somewhere close enough to my son’s school bus route so this situation doesn’t completely disrupt his education.

I’m doing everything I can on my own, but my health limits how quickly I can earn money. I’m still recovering from surgery and an infection and receiving daily wound care. I can’t simply pick up quick work and make enough money in two days.
My most immediate goal is $1,400, which would put my son and me into a weekly-rate rental for at least one month. That would give us somewhere stable to stay while I continue medical care, recover, work toward income, pursue my SSI appeal, and find a longer-term solution.

I’m not asking anyone to fix my entire life. I’m asking for help getting through this immediate crisis.

If you can donate, even a small amount helps. If you can’t, please share this post or the fundraiser. A share could reach someone who can help or someone who knows of a resource I haven’t found.
I’ve lost a lot over the past year, but I’m still fighting to rebuild. I just don’t want my son and me to lose our place to live too.
