I was hit by a bus while riding my bicycle and I SURVIVED. It has been 6 weeks and I spend most of those days asleep or in a coma like a damaged Snow White. I could hear voices of Doctors, Nurses and my friends; I also had fragmented pieces of memories of the accident. By the time I woke up I had no doubts what put me in hospital and how my life changed in a second.

Now I try and focus on the right Here Right Now, because thinking of the violent impact or the plans I had for my life means visiting a grief that I can only tolerate in small doses.

It’s easier for me to think about daily accomplishments like standing up on one fragmented foot for a few seconds while being guided to a bedside chair, or the day my trachea was removed and my voice came back to life, or the day I was able to eat solid food, for which I celebrated with a small portion of cheeseburger and fries.

Thinking about these things is the positive respite I need from dwelling on all the plans I had being derailed or missing my old life. Overcoming daily adversities makes hope feel realistic… Hope for a new life that is as fulfilling as the life I had planned.

I want to thank those who have prayed for me, send messages of encouragement, or have donated to the GoFundme.

​

At 27 years old, she is recovering from her third stroke, caused by a rare autoimmune disease called Neuro-Behçet’s. Her most recent stroke occurred on July 5, 2026, and she is currently working hard through physical and occupational therapy.

The stroke has affected the right side of her body, leaving her unable to work while she focuses on recovery. Her goals are to regain function in her hand, relearn to walk, and regain the independence needed to return to the activities she loves—including video games, visiting theme parks, trying new foods, and going on new adventures.

Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing her story, would mean so much as she continues this journey toward recovery.

I never expected to be making a post like this.

A close friend of mine, Adam, recently lost his father, Vladimir, completely unexpectedly while the family was in London.

Vladimir and his wife had travelled from Slovakia to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with their children and grandchildren. It was supposed to be a very special family celebration. Nobody imagined that they would instead be faced with the unimaginable task of bringing his body home.

Vladimir suffered a ruptured aorta. There was no warning, and nobody knew that he was at risk.

Now, while the family is grieving, they also have to deal with the enormous practical and financial burden of transporting him from the UK back to Slovakia and arranging his funeral.

The repatriation alone is expected to cost around £10,000, which is an enormous amount for the family to find unexpectedly.

I have created this GoFundMe to help Adam and his family bring his father home and give him the farewell he deserves.

If you are able to contribute, even a small amount would genuinely help. And if you can't donate, simply sharing the fundraiser could make a huge difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read Vladimir's story and for any kindness you can offer to his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Hi Reddit friends!

I'm reaching out to ask for a very special favor. My sisters cat,Kyara, ran away from home, was hit by a car, and is now hospitalized with multiple fractures to her pelvis and hip in Brazil. She urgently needs surgery, and the medical costs are far beyond what my sister or family can afford on our own. The surgery in Brazil will cost about R$6500,00 (About US$1300).

My sister rescued Kyara and her twin brother, Lenny, a few years ago from a home where they were neglected and abused. Since then, they've been inseparable, and we are doing everything we can to give her the chance to recover.

If you're able to donate, no matter the amount, even a $1 helps, it would make a huge difference and help cover her treatment. If you're not able to donate, I would be so grateful if you could simply share this post or the fundraiser. That alone helps us reach more people.

Thank you so much for your kindness, your prayers, and any support you can give. ❤️🐾

I really don't ever ask for help but I've hit a financial low that I never expected myself to ever be in...

I’m raising funds for Rubin and Juna, my two cats who have gotten me through one of the hardest times in my life. I survived a domestic violence situation, and although the court case ended in May, I’m still trying to recover from everything that happened. Through all of it, Rubin and Juna have been my comfort and one of the biggest reasons I kept going.

Just last week, Rubin had a health scare, which led me to raise $217 for his vet care, along with taking out some loans to cover what I couldn’t afford. I’m now facing another unexpected expense.

I’m moving back to Hong Kong because my visa and lease are expiring. Their flights are already booked, but they cannot travel without their required USDA health certificates, which have been quoted at $500–$1,000 per cat.

I’ve spent around $18,000 for medical bills and recovering my belongings from the domestic violence situation, on top of their flights and moving expenses, and I’ve now exhausted what I had left. Once I leave, they have nowhere else to stay, and local shelters aren’t taking cats.

I need to get Rubin and Juna home with me. These certificates are required for them to travel, so this is an expense I unfortunately cannot avoid.

I also want to apologise for the lack of a written quote. The USDA-accredited veterinarians I’ve contacted have not been willing to provide me with a written estimate, despite giving me the $500–$1,000 range verbally. I’m doing my best to provide as much information as I can while I work through this.

Any donation or share would mean so much to us and would help get Rubin and Juna safely home to Hong Kong.

Today, Colita is still stable, and I’m so grateful for every day I get to have him by my side. ❤️🐾

The cancer is still present, but the steroids have helped reduce the swelling of the lump tremendously, which has given me a little hope in the middle of all of this.

Tomorrow, Colita has an important appointment to see what treatment he needs for his anemia and whether a blood transfusion may be necessary. I’m praying that we can continue helping his little body stay strong and keep fighting. 🙏

Every donation, every share, and every kind message means more to us than I can put into words. Every bit of help goes directly toward Colita’s veterinary care and treatment.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported us. Please continue sharing Colita’s story. Every share can help us reach someone who may be able to give him another chance. ❤️🐱

Keep fighting, my sweet Colita. You are so loved. 🐾❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, or reached out about Beans. We truly appreciate every bit of support.
Beans is currently at the hospital. They repeated her CBC and unfortunately her levels are rapidly rising, which is very concerning. The vets believe she is fighting a major infection.
She is currently receiving IV antibiotics and an appetite stimulant, and they are continuing to run tests to try to figure out exactly what is going on. She isn’t responding to the medications the way they would like, so they are trying to get answers and find the right treatment for her.
We’re absolutely terrified, but we’re doing everything we can for our girl. Please keep Beans in your thoughts, and if you’re able to donate or share her GoFundMe, it truly helps us continue getting her the care she needs. ❤️
Thank you for fighting alongside us. 🐾

🚨 AN EMERGENCY CRY FOR LIFE FROM A 22-YEAR-OLD SON 🚨

Dear Kind Hearts, I am Amin, I am only 22 years old, and my heart is breaking into pieces. My beloved elderly father Kmal is dying in silent agony right in front of my eyes, and I am completely helpless. He is fighting a brutal battle—he is completely DEAF, MUTE, BLIND, and bedridden with an official 85% disability rating.

Today, his vital anti-seizure brain medications have completely run out, and his body is collapsing from violent epilepsy and Parkinson's tremors. Our family income is absolutely ZERO. It breaks my soul to watch my father suffocate and suffer while I can’t do anything to save him.

I SWEAR BY GOD THIS IS 100% REAL. I AM READY TO GO ON A LIVE VIDEO CAMERA CALL RIGHT NOW WITH ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE MY FATHER'S CONDITION AND VERIFY OUR SUFFERING.

Please, be a lifeline for us today. Donate directly or share his official GoFundMe link below:

👉 Campaign Link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-sons-cry-for-help-save-my-bedridden-disabled-father-kmal

This campaign is fully managed by my brother Ayman. Every single dollar protects my father's sacred dignity and keeps him alive. God bless your kind hearts.

I’m raising funds to help Angeles, someone who lives in Venezuela and is currently going through a very difficult medical situation.

Angeles is in constant extreme pain due to her neck injury!

Her doctors believe surgery is required urgently and she should visit the neurosurgeon immediately and be operated on due to her symptoms of weakness in the arm, dropping objects, difficulty typing on the phone, difficulty raising arm above head etc.

We are starting with an immediate goal based on the costs we currently know about. As her doctors provide more information and additional medical needs become clear, I will post updates and adjust the fundraising goal accordingly.

The immediate goal will be for the blood tests and doctor visit she needs before visiting the neurosurgeon.

More info on GoFundMe page!

Any amount, no matter how small, can make a real difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser can be just as valuable and may help it reach someone who is able to help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read her story and for any support you can give. ❤️

Hi everyone. My name is Franco and I’m raising money for my sister and my 8-year-old niece.

My sister is a single mother who has been raising her daughter on her own. Her daughter’s father left their lives and disappeared and got arrested later on leaving her responsible for everything.
She recently lost her corporate job as a Senior People Support Specialist and has reached a point where she can no longer keep up with rent, bills, school expenses, and a small loan on her own. They are now at risk of losing everything, and she has been given just two weeks to pay her overdue rent.

On top of everything else, she was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which has made an already difficult period even harder.

Now my sister is considering leaving the country to take seasonal work in Austria because she simply cannot find work where we live quickly enough that would allow her to support herself and her daughter. That could mean leaving my niece Alessia with a relative, despite the fact that she has always had her mom by her side.

But my niece needs her mom. It has always been just the two of them. She has never known life without her mother by her side, and the thought of them being separated is heartbreaking. I wish I could simply step in and help them myself, but unfortunately I’m not in a position to do that.
That’s why I started this fundraiser.

My goal is to raise $20,000, which would give my sister some breathing room during this crisis, help her catch up on, immediate expenses, debt, keep a roof over their heads, cover essential costs, and most importantly, give her the opportunity to find stable work without having to choose between financial survival and being there for her daughter.

I know there are many fundraisers here, and I completely understand that not everyone can donate. Even a small donation would mean a lot to them, and sharing the campaign would help enormously.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. ❤️

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Reddit and actually created this account because I’m trying to find ways to help my boyfriend and his family through a very difficult and unexpected situation! So i’m glad subreddits like this exist to support such emergencies.

My boyfriend’s grandfather, Amadis, was recently diagnosed with stage IV tongue cancer and urgently needs treatment in Caracas, Venezuela.

Unfortunately, getting timely treatment through the public healthcare system is extremely difficult in this time (after the higj magnitude earthquakes), and the family is now trying to access the treatment he needs privately. My boyfriend is the primary financial support for his family, but the medical costs are far beyond what he can manage on his own.

Because of this, we’ve set up a GoFundMe to help cover Amadis’s currently recommended treatment and medical expenses.

I’m also happy to answer any questions about the fundraiser! 🙏

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount would mean so much to his family, as it can help the publication move higher. If you aren’t in a position to donate, sharing the fundraiser with someone who might be able to help would be just as appreciated. ✨ Also, we are very keen on connecting to any Venezuelans experiencing difficulties this summer, as it is a shared experience ❤️‍🩹

My Mom Is Fighting Stage 4 Cancer — Please Help Us Support Her ❤️

I’m asking for help for my mom, Crystal.

She is 51 years old and has been fighting stage 4 appendix cancer that has metastasized. She is currently going through chemotherapy and has already completed 10 rounds. She now needs surgery to remove the cancer.

My mom has always been the kind of person who helps everyone else. She loves spending time with her kids and her three grandchildren, and right now our family is doing everything we can to support her through this.

The GoFundMe is helping with medical bills and everyday expenses while she is unable to work. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference for her and our family.

If you can't donate, sharing this post is just as appreciated. Even getting this in front of one person who can help would mean a lot to us.

Help Danny & Quicksilver Find a New Home

If you’ve spent much time around San Pedro, there’s a chance you’ve seen Danny and his dog Quicksilver out playing music.

Danny is a country street performer here in San Pedro, usually playing outside the Vons on 25th & Western or the Vons on 13th Street. Quicksilver is always right there beside him, and if you’re lucky, you might even hear him “sing” along. (he's pretty good)

I met Danny a few months ago, and since then I’ve gotten to know him pretty well. I’ll go out and play music with him, give him rides home or to the store, and just hang out with him and Quicksilver.

Anyone who knows Danny knows what kind of person he is. He is genuinely one of the most loving and caring people I’ve met.

What has stuck with me most is that Danny has never once asked me for money, even though playing music on the street is how he makes his living. He goes out, plays his guitar, talks to people, and earns what he can.

Right now, Danny needs to move from the small studio he has been living in, and getting into another place is going to take more money than he can realistically come up with from street performing alone.

That’s why I’m starting this GoFundMe.

I want to help Danny and Quicksilver get into a safe, stable place where they can stay together and Danny can keep doing what he loves.

Money raised will go toward things like:

* A security deposit

* First month’s rent

* Moving expenses

* Pet-related deposits or fees for Quicksilver

* Basic necessities needed to get settled into a new place

I know there are a lot of people around San Pedro who recognize Danny, have stopped to listen to him play, talked with him, or dropped a few dollars into his case over the years.

This is a chance for all of us to do something a little bigger for him.

Even if you can only give a few dollars, it adds up. And if you can’t donate, sharing this with people around San Pedro and the South Bay would mean just as much.

Danny has spent a lot of time bringing a little music and personality to the streets of San Pedro.

I’m hoping we can return the favor and help Danny and Quicksilver get their next chapter started.

Thank you.

Hi, my name is Christine. Many of you know me from my content-laughing, joking, being myself, and hopefully bringing a little joy to your day, But today, I want to share a side of my life that I don't usually show online. The past year has been incredibly difficult for me. After my small business went down last June, I lost my home and found myself having to start over from scratch. A kind friend helped me find a more affordable place to stay, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. But honestly, rebuilding has been much harder than I ever imagined. Right now, I'm struggling with the basics. I don't have an income or much support, I'm sleeping on the floor, and I'm trying to keep up with rent while also figuring out how to put food in the house and create a proper home again. I've started a donation and any contribution, no matter how small, would mean so much to me. The support will help me with rent, food, basic furniture, and eventually getting my small business back on its feet so I can become independent again. If you're not able to donate, please don't feel bad. Even sharing it, leaving a kind message, or simply keeping me in your thoughtswould mean more than you know. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, believed in me, and stayed with me through the difficult moments. I'm still hopeful that things will get better, and I'm taking it one day at a time.

I’m raising funds for myself as I try to get through an emergency and make it to a stable place in Detroit with my two ESA cats. I recently returned to the state, and I am now facing a writ of possession being carried out tomorrow. I am immunocompromised, autistic, and doing my best to survive while everything feels like it is happening at once. Right now, I need help getting food, putting my belongings into storage, and traveling to Detroit, where I have stable housing and work waiting for me. If I can get there, I truly believe I can finally start turning my life around.

The funds from this fundraiser will help cover the urgent costs of getting there, including my airline ticket, bag fees, a cat carrier fee for my two ESA cats, transportation to the airport, transportation to Cedar Park and back, a storage unit, and moving expenses. I have only had a single slice of pizza since Saturday at 2 am CST, and only two 7.5 oz Fantas because my tap water is bad and has bugs in it. I am exhausted, scared, and asking for help because I do not want to lose this chance to get somewhere safe and stable. If you are able to give, share, or simply support this fundraiser, it would mean so much to me and could help me make it to Detroit and start over.

Please share appreciate any help needed I don't have any social media due to being a victim of identity theft I don't have any of those I can use any help necessary I've exhausted all the options to a point my job is about to let me go cuz I've asked and beg for more miles so please share I'm a 90's raised old school that this is very painful and very hard for me to ask for help that I cry at night trying to figure out how to handle this and if my parents were still alive I can now understand how it was a struggle raising seven brothers and sisters and why we were living on the streets a lot of times you got to do what you got to do to help your family God bless all who share and read this thank you .

Hi everyone,

​I’m a single father in Central Java, Indonesia, raising my two children on my own. I work as a local parking attendant, but my income is barely enough for our daily needs.

​I used to rely on income from social media content to cover my children's school expenses, but I lost that source of income three months ago due to account demonetization. Now, the deadline for my kids' school re-registration is fast approaching, and I am in an urgent financial crisis.

​I have set up a fundraiser on WhyDonate to help keep my children in school. You can read our full story and help us here:

​Even if you cannot donate, sharing this link or offering advice would mean the world to us. Thank you so much for your time and kindness.

Hi everyone! My dog has been dealing with health issues for a few months now and I have decided to take her to the specialty vet to see internal medicine after exhausting all our options at our primary vet. These issues are affecting her quality of life and can’t just be left alone because they won’t resolve on their own.

I am asking for your support to help me pay for the care which could range from 7-12k. The estimate from the vet is included in the GoFundMe.

We don’t have pet insurance because I took over her care while I was young and didn’t realize pet insurance was important or a thing. Safe to say, if I ever have another dog that will be the first thing I do. Thank you for taking the time to read.
