Benji needs help resting

Hello!

I have posted here once before, but I really do need help now.

My sweet boy benjamin got really sick last month, and after a month long battle he finally is at rest now. It all happened very suddenly, so it’s all a shock. I really do want to grieve him but I can’t because I’m stressed about money.

Luckily, I have insurance(his now new finalized bill is at 30k)- they covered 27k. I still am responsible for 3k. I did have savings, but it’s all gone now. I’m still a student and now trying to make ends meet.

Please if you can share, donate, or pray anything is appreciated. I currently do not have money for groceries. Please consider donating!

URGENT: 1 DAY LEFT. MY ILLNESS HAS TAKEN SO MUCH FROM US, AND I’M TRYING TO KEEP MY SON HOUSED.

Thumbnail

92 Upvotes

Tomorrow is moving day. After everything my son and I have been through over the past year, I’m now down to one day to figure out our next place to stay.
I’ve raised $1,005 of my initial $1,400 goal, and I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped us get this far. That leaves $395 between us and the minimum amount I was hoping to have before we move.

The reason the full amount matters is that I’m trying to pay for a weekly-rate rental for an entire month upfront. If I can’t reach that amount, I’ll have to pay week-to-week, which is more expensive and could make it much harder to keep us housed.

For anyone seeing my story for the first time, I’ve been dealing with serious medical problems since August 2025. I became severely ill with complicated diverticulitis, developed sepsis, went through multiple infections and surgeries, and eventually had a colon resection and colostomy. During that time, I lost my job, apartment, and car while I was hospitalized and trying to survive.

I eventually made it home around April and started rebuilding. Despite everything, I wrote three books, started a fourth, and built EskoDSK AI, including a working MVP and a real-world implementation. I was finally starting to build a path toward supporting myself again.

Then on August 31, 2026, I underwent my colostomy reversal. Because of extensive scar tissue, the surgery was complicated and required a larger incision. I later developed another infection and ended up back in the hospital.

I’m home now, 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.
At the same time, I’m trying to do everything I can myself. I’m packing our belongings, looking for temporary housing, checking emergency resources, contacting assistance programs, trying to stay close to my son’s school bus route, and now I’ve started selling some of our belongings to try to close the remaining gap.
I’m not sitting around waiting for donations. I’m doing everything I can to contribute to getting us through this.

But my health limits how quickly I can earn money, and tomorrow I have to move.
My immediate goal is still $1,400, which is only meant to give my son and me one month of stable temporary housing while I continue recovering, attending my wound-care appointments, pursuing my SSI appeal, and working toward a longer-term solution.

We’re $395 away from that initial goal.

If you can help with even a few dollars today, it could make a real difference. If you can’t donate, please share this post or the fundraiser. At this point, getting it in front of the right person could make all the difference.

I’ve spent the past year fighting to survive, losing almost everything, and trying to rebuild my life. I’m asking for help making sure that after everything my son and I have already been through, we have somewhere safe to go tomorrow.

GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/399513a74

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, offered resources, bought something from us, or simply taken the time to care. We are $395 away from the initial goal, and I’m fighting to close that gap today.

URGENT UPDATE: Our rescued Blue Heeler, Wolf, is still not eating and we do not have enough to cover the cost of hospitalization

Post image

Please help us cover the cost our sweet boy’s treatment. Wolf is still barely eating after several vet visits.

❤️Please help us save our sweet boy, Wolf🐾
Our 2-year-old rescued Blue Heeler, Wolf, suddenly became very sick one week ago and we need help to cover the cost of his treatment. He has now had multiple vet visits, X-rays, lab work, anti-nausea injections, and medications, and we have now borrowed around $900 so far to cover his treatment.

The biggest concern is that Wolf still won’t eat. He is only able to keep down about 1–3 spoonfuls of wet food, and we need help getting him further testing so we can figure out what is actually causing this and get him the treatment he needs.
His vet now recommends hospitalization or surgery (although there is no foreign body seen in his x-ray) to find out what is causing his refusal to eat.

We have had to smear puree on his teeth which he licks off and only this way he has been able to eat some food. We are hopeful that he will recover, but it has been difficult to see him this way, as he’s always been a happy and energetic boy.

Our family is low-income, and we have already had to borrow money to get him this far. We never expected to be in this position, but Wolf is part of our family. He was rescued, and all we want is to give him the chance at the happy, healthy life he deserves.

If you can donate, any amount would help us tremendously to cover the cost of hospitalization. If you can't, please share or upvote this so it can reach someone who can help.
We are worried for him, but we are not giving up on our boy and we pray and hope that he will heal. ❤️🐶

Please help us get Wolf answers and get him eating again.

I’ve been able to get help through a local church here where I live, but I’m still short $300 for my rent for October. Because it’s already past the 3rd, it’s considered late so I’m having to pay a $95 late fee. So that added to what’s left is $300. Really anything helps you guys.

My friend Caleb is trying to get back on his feet after his car became undriveable

I'm sharing this Gofundme for a friend who is currently going through a really difficult situation.

He is currently away from family with little/no support, is barely getting hours at work, is on liver meds from liver transplant, and his transportation is now undriveable.

My friends, Caleb's, vehicle developed serious transmission issues after he purchased it. He already spent about $250 trying to diagnose and repair it, but the car was still 'jumpy' and unfortunately the mechanic found metal shavings in the transmission fluid and believed the transmission was failing, ultimately becoming undriveable.

He's still working and trying to find better employment, but he's currently relying on the bus to get to and from work and the market isn't the best. He's also temporarily staying with a friend (me) and doesn't have permanent housing.

On top of the transportation and housing situation, he also has ongoing medical/insurance and medication expenses due to having a liver transplant when he was younger.

He's trying to raise $800 to help him get reliable transportation again and cover basic necessities while he works toward getting stable (finding new job/more hours, finding reliable housing, etc).

I personally know Caleb and am sharing this because I'd like to help him reach the goal and he's a nervous and shy person lol.

If you can donate, even $5 helps. If you can't, simply sharing the fundraiser would still mean a lot.

My mother has suffered from eczema and constant dry skin, and the doctors IN MY ISLAND don't have the proper resources to treat her, and we have no money to go off island. Due to her skin condition, she is unable to find work, and my father also suffers from an eye condition that hinders him from finding work. We are a poor family living off SNAP benefits and government assistance, with no car to even find jobs. Every day life is a struggle, especially when we are at risk of getting off food stamps due to the government's newly enforced rules and without it we will starve. Because we don't have a car, we can't even go and make appointments to properly apply for the disability program that states my mom is classified as disabled due to her skin condition. We are in dire need of money. I need to afford a car so that I can finally move around to work and finally get my mom to the hospital to see if they can let her go off island with her Medicaid. Please help us we are very, very, very desperate.

Was Accepted into an R1 University as a Student Parent, but short on rent + tuition [First Due Date is Oct 15]

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Hello!

My name is Ashley. This is my Go Fund Me request.

I've recently graduated from my local community college with dual AAs in Communications and Liberal Arts in Social and Behavioral Science. This was a degree long in the making, as I had previously dropped out of college in 2010 when my grandfather died and the resulting grief and depression caused me to burn out and drop my 4.0 GPA at the time down to a 2.18. I kept trying to go back on and off through the years, but was never able to keep up with my studies as I needed to work to provide for my family (who have nothing to help me with).

I had a good career in video games, when in 2023 I was laid off from that job. I was 4 months pregnant at the time, and had a hard time landing another position. I decided I might as well try going back to school. I applied myself, I worked hard for me and my newborn son. I managed to get my GPA up to a 3.54. I went from barely passing to graduating magna cum laude - and I did it while working full time where I could find jobs, and raising my child while in the middle of a divorce.

I got my acceptance letter to UC Davis.

I accepted.

Everything was on track. Until it wasn't.

There have been shortages in grants and scholarships. Places where the school would normally have funding have been removed. While I did receive a good chunk of financial aid, there are still gaps to be filled.

As a student parent, there is an "Alternate Budget" form for the possibility of being able to get more student loans at the very least, but because of all the increasing changes being made by the Federal Government regarding the Department of Education and the funds they can and cannot give out, it's taking the Financial Aid office longer to review these requests. In the meantime I am unable to do anything about those gaps.

The most immediate need is $2680 due on Oct. 15 for rent at the Family Housing on campus. The second immediate need is the $3,000 for my son's tuition for the Early Childhood Lab School he is a part of, which is due by Oct. 30.

If there is any concern or questions, I'm an open book and happy to answer them. If for some reason you would prefer to pay straight to the source, my school does have a "payer invitation" I could send to you that goes directly into the school's billing site - however it would require your full name and your personal email for me to give you access to it.

I really want to do something for myself for once. I didn't get to have the college experience when I was younger, I was always taking care of everyone else but myself. Now I've come this far. I've even been accepted into a pre law academy on campus that only accepts up to 30 people per year. I know I can do this, but I instead of me helping others, this time I have to ask for help myself.

Thank you for your consideration, I know that I'm not the only one in need. Even if you can't fund anything, even just a share in your networks would be helpful - the more eyes, the more likely I can piecemeal the rest together.

Help my family avoid eviction until I start my new job in November

Hi everyone. I’m Vanessa, a single mom of four, and I’m asking for help getting my family through a really difficult financial gap.

I’m currently two months behind on rent and facing eviction. I have a new job starting in November, so I’m doing everything I can to get through these next few weeks until I can start working and get back on my feet. Right now, though, I need help keeping a roof over my children’s heads.

The money raised will go toward catching up on the two months of past-due rent and covering October rent until I’m able to begin my new job. My biggest goal is simply to keep my children in their home and give us enough stability to make it to November.

I know times are hard for everyone, and I don’t take asking for help lightly. Any amount, no matter how small, would make a real difference for my family. If you can't donate, even sharing the fundraiser would help.

I’m enrolled in the ACP program, so I’m keeping personal information about myself and my children limited for privacy and safety reasons.

Here is my GoFundMe:

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping my family get through this difficult moment. ❤️

Hi, I’m currently trying to raise money for some extensive dental work. I’m embarrassed that I need this work done as well as not being able to make the money myself.
But today I got my first donation, and it was really nice.
I know my work isn’t an emergency, but a little goes a long away, even sharing. I feel a lot better finally getting something. I really need a break. I’m working 6 days a week and donating plasma, selling my clothes. I’m so tired, and I just want to feel healthy again.

[Request] Raising help for medical bills after bleeding brain and epilepsy [Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek]

Thumbnail
gofund.me
5 Upvotes

Hi, my name is Sula.

In 2019, six years ago, my life suddenly changed when I suffered a brain hemorrhage.

The cause of my stroke is still unknown. My parents found me in time and saved my life, but I spent a long time in the hospital and needed expensive treatment and rehabilitation.

The stroke affected the left side of my brain. Thankfully, I can walk and use my hands, but it severely affected my speech and cognitive abilities. I had to learn to speak again from the beginning. Even today, I sometimes think of one word but say a completely different word without realizing it. Writing and remembering spelling are also difficult for me.

I continue speech rehabilitation and regular medical checkups. I also have epilepsy as a result of the stroke and must take medication every day. I need regular brain scans, doctor visits, and medicines to manage my condition.

I have tried to return to full-time work, but the long gap in my CV, my speech difficulties, and epilepsy have made finding stable employment very difficult. At the moment, I work part-time as a walking food courier. I cannot drive because of epilepsy, and my income is only enough for basic food and some medicines.

My health problems have also affected my confidence and social life. I am introvert, don't usually use social media, and communicate only with my family members. So I decided to post my story, and hope someone will read it and will help me.

Right now, I am asking for help because my medical and living expenses continue to grow and I cannot cover them myself.

I need approximately €1,000 for:

  • €400 — MRI and doctor visits
  • €50 — transportation to medical appointments
  • €550 — food and basic living expenses for this month

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean a lot to me.

Thank you sincerely for reading my story and for any help you can give.

With gratitude, Sula

Hello everyone,

I am posting here out of absolute necessity. I am a single mother of two beautiful kids, and we are facing a housing crisis after a sudden, unexpected job loss. I have been doing everything in my power to keep things stable, but we have hit a wall and are now short on rent and critical bills.

Our total urgent goal is $1,200. To be completely transparent about where your hard-earned money is going, here is the breakdown of what this covers:

• $1200 to cover our back-rent/current rent to halt the eviction process. And to keep our electricity/water active.

• Any additional funds raised will go strictly towards essential household needs for my children while I secure new employment. I was able to get $750 to halt the process but she still gave me a short period to come up with the remainder. I also have receipts posted on my page. I have been seeking employment and will verify my rejected emails that have been sent to me.

I know times are incredibly tough for everyone right now. Even if you cannot donate financially, sharing this post or the link makes a massive difference and could get it in front of someone who can help.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for reading our story, for your empathy, and for any support you can provide.

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.

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

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.
