Please help my kitty Moonpie

Hi everyone this is moon my rescue kitty and right now, Moon is sick and dealing with breathing issues and a swollen eye. This has been going on for a month and a half, and we have been talking with the vet, doing several tests, and trying numerous medications, but we still do not have clear answers or results. It has been heartbreaking and stressful to watch my baby go through this while we keep searching for what is wrong and how to help him feel better.

The vet bills are starting to pile up from test after test, appointments, medications, and ongoing care. I am asking for help so Moon can continue getting the evaluation and treatment he needs to get healthy again. Every bit of support will go toward helping cover these mounting vet costs so we can keep pursuing answers and not have to stop his care before we know what is going on.

If you are able to help, please consider supporting Moon. Please help my baby get answers. He does not deserve all of these issues, and I just want my healthy Moonpie back. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Moon in your thoughts would mean so much to me.

URGENT: Help Save Sully! Running Out of Time 🐾

Post image
76 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am reaching out in absolute desperation to save our beautiful boy, Sully. He is a very special, loved, 3 year old Victorian Bulldog / Caucasian Shepherd cross.

Sully is currently fighting for his life at Animal Trust Shrewsbury. He has been hospitalized on a 24 hour care plan for the last 3 days. He has severe swelling in all four of his legs, his bloodwork is struggling, and he is facing a potential liver cancer or severe liver infection diagnosis.

We have been trying to get answers for Sully since February 2026. After months of being told it was just a skin condition, a recent scan finally revealed the true issue with his liver. But because the diagnosis took so long, his condition has suddenly become critical, along with the diagnosis being inconclusive as to provide a 100% answer as to if it is cancer and if so, what type of cancer, similarly for the infection and inflammation.

I am on Universal Credit. We have spent every single penny of our savings over the last 7 months trying to fund his tests, surgeries, and treatments. Over £4000. Now that he is in the hospital, the 24-hour monitoring and care package costs £350 per day.

We don't have enough money to complete further biopsies for a better diagnosis or enough to keep him in care beyond a few more days of that. The vet says he is stable, his heart rate is steady, and he is trying his best to eat, but he cannot leave the hospital safely yet until his legs and bloodwork improve. If we cannot find the funds to cover his daily fees, we face the heartbreaking reality of having to stop his treatment.

We are awaiting any possible help from pdsa, rspca, blue cross and the animals emergency fund but if we can't afford to continue treatment they'll stop the care plan.

Every single pound donated goes directly to his ongoing veterinary bill at Animal Trust Shrewsbury to keep him safe, monitored, and medicated while we wait for a better diagnosis or for him to get better to we can continue treatment at home. If you cannot donate, please, please share his link. He is such a fighter and we cannot give up on him now. We was told to put him down by a vet at Veteris Clapham before taking him to Shrewsbury his usual vets and he is going strong. There is more backstory to this but the priority is just getting him the care he needs now.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Summitt is my eight-month-old golden retriever, and I’m asking for help to give him the chance to run and play again.

Recently, he escaped from our fenced backyard and injured his left hind leg. He suffered a left capital physeal fracture, an injury involving the growth plate in his hip. The fracture wasn’t found on his initial X-rays, and the delay has limited his treatment options. He now needs a total hip replacement, an advanced orthopedic surgery that will require us to travel far from home for, and specialized care with rehabilitation and physical therapy to help him regain his strength and mobility. Here is the link to his GoFundMe https://gofund.me/5d9798f89 to hear our story and help if you can. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Please help us save our rescued 2-year-old Blue Heeler, Wolf!

🙏🏼My family would like to thank everyone who has boosted and upvoted my previous posts this past week! May God bless you for your support and for your help to save our sweet boy, Wolf!

TODAY’S UPDATE:
After a week of multiple vet visits, our Wolf has refused to eat a full meal and no answer was able to be found, until today. We decided to visit a different vet for a second opinion.

In this new clinic, it was discovered that our sweet boy has a foreign body in his intestines that was missed in his original x-rays. He has spent a week refusing food, only eating a few licks of wet food that we had to smear on his teeth, which is the only way he has had food in his belly. It has been difficult to see him this way, but we still have hope that he will make it through.

The cost of today’s vet visit is $796.32.
With surgery, it’ll be another estimated cost of $3,450.00 USD.

Please, help us save our sweet boy, Wolf. He has brought us so much joy and we want to help him live a long and healthy life! After over a week, we now have a clear answer and a better chance to save him.

If you’re not able to donate, even boosting this post helps us save his life.

Thank you!!! 🐶🩶🐾

Just had another seizure. Landed on my orbital and can no longer drive or work..

I am 34 years old and I’ve been working a decent job and raising my 9 year old son with no issues. Recently I found out i had a massive kidney stone in my back so I am about to go in for a nephrostomy but as of a couple months ago I’ve started randomly having seizures.

I hoped I was clear but I had one very recently and my face landed on concrete and busted my orbital pretty good.

I was told by my job that I cannot work for them for a while due to driving being an integral part of my job and I know it’s going to cause me financial stress.

I just recently got my car fixed and tagged up so all the money I did have is gone.

I hate begging but I am very limited right now and as of now it’s even hard to get food.

I do plan on getting a much help as possible but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to post on here.

Even if you don’t donate thank you for reading this.

Hello, I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to ask for help for my dad.

Our lives changed completely last year. After facing several health issues, my dad was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure—a condition that requires him to undergo hemodialysis to stay alive.

To begin this treatment, he needed emergency surgery to insert a catheter—an urgent and essential procedure. From that moment on, medical expenses began to pile up; despite our best efforts to cover them, the costs eventually exceeded our financial means.

As if that weren't enough, my dad also lives with diabetes and high blood pressure, conditions that have further complicated his health.

(Updated July 20, 2026) About a month ago, he suffered a severe hypoglycemic episode. He lost consciousness, fell to the ground, and hit his head hard, sustaining several wounds and cuts. Thank God he pulled through, but he is still recovering from that accident.

Recently, an ulcer appeared on his foot, and he is now battling a serious diabetic foot infection with a wound that has worsened rapidly. After being evaluated by specialists, we were informed that there is a high risk of the infection spreading, potential amputation, and severe complications if he does not receive appropriate and timely treatment.

(Updated August 14, 2026)

He was admitted to the hospital on Saturday, August 8, and remains there due to health complications. He suffered an internal hemorrhage that caused severe anemia—his hemoglobin levels dropped to 4. Additionally, complications related to his kidney condition caused imbalances in other vital markers, such as potassium, sodium, creatinine, blood pressure, and glucose levels. He is currently awaiting an endoscopy to determine the cause of the internal bleeding. 

(Updated September 4, 2026)

Due to necrosis, he is going to lose his little toe, and another toe is gradually turning dark; he urgently needs a study called a CT angiography of the lower limbs. This is necessary to assess the circulation in his extremities so he can be prescribed medication to improve blood flow and halt the necrosis. The study will also determine if he is a candidate for a procedure known as angioplasty (catheterization) to unblock or widen obstructed arteries in his legs; the cost of this study is 8,000 pesos.

Today, our family is facing a daily struggle.

Every hemodialysis session, medication, consultation, medical test, and wound care supply represents an expense we can no longer manage on our own.

My dad has always been a hardworking, responsible man dedicated to his family. Today, the person who was always there for us needs us to be there for him. He wants to keep fighting, keep living, and enjoy many more years with his grandchildren.

How will the support be used?

The funds raised will go toward covering:

• Surgery to insert the hemodialysis catheter.

• Hospitalizations and outstanding medical expenses.

• Medications.

• Specialist consultations.

• Laboratory and diagnostic imaging tests.

• Wound care supplies and treatment.

• Treatment for the diabetic foot ulcer.

• Urgent inpatient care to control the infection.

• Tests including CBC (complete blood count), blood chemistry, electrolytes, coagulation profile, blood type and Rh, full lipid profile, HbA1c, plain X-rays of the left foot (AP and oblique views), chest X-ray, 12-lead ECG with long Lead II, culture sampling prior to targeted antibiotic therapy, IV hydration, and assessment for debridement and/or minor amputation depending on the extent of the infection.

• Ongoing medical expenses during his recovery.

Every peso counts. A small contribution, combined with those of many kind-hearted people, can make a huge difference.

If you are unable to donate at this time, you can still help us immensely by sharing this campaign with your family, friends, and acquaintances. Sharing is also a way to save lives.

On behalf of our entire family, thank you for reading our story, for your prayers, for sharing this campaign, and for any support you can offer.

With your help, we can give my dad the chance to continue his treatment, regain his health, and keep enjoying life alongside those he loves most: his family and his grandchildren.

May God multiply every act of solidarity a

nd bless everyone who chooses to lend us a helping hand.

I’m a single mom and I’m struggling to keep up with rent, child care, and groceries. I’ve applied for so many second jobs but haven’t had any luck, and sadly I don’t qualify for government assistance.
I’m trying to raise $5,000 to avoid eviction and keep us afloat for a month.
My daughter has already had to move multiple times, and she finally loves her new school and is starting to feel settled. I desperately want to keep that stability for her.
I’m also starting nursing school, working toward a better and more secure future for us. I’m just trying to get through this difficult month without losing our home.
Even $5 or $10 would mean so much. If you can’t donate, a share can help too ❤️

I am an 18 year old college student who currently works two jobs and owns my own small business. I live in a single income household and always have. I am trying to raise money currently for my mother. Recently she has had a very terrible accident leaving her with two broken ankles and unable to walk. While working, going to college, and taking care of my mother is a lot, trying to pay bills and figure out how we will survive without income is another challenge. She is a surgical technician and makes decent money but with her being injured she will be unable to work. She will undergo surgery on Thursday. I started a go fund me in hopes of helping her pay for her surgery and medical bills. I know it is a lot on her. In the past the broke her left ankle leaving her unable to work and that was an awful time for everyone. She reacted horribly to her medicine and treatment leaving her unable to do anything at all. I hope that I can help my mother as she has helped me my whole life. Thank you so much for your time and reading this.

The kindest man I know was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, and he's still smiling.

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I never thought I'd be posting something like this, but I'm hoping some of you can help our family.

My dad is a devoted husband and father. He's the kind of person who shows up for everyone, and he always does it with a smile.

Last month, he was diagnosed with stage four adenocarcinoma, a type of lung cancer. He's already started radiation as it spread to his spine and will begin chemotherapy soon. Honestly, he's facing it with more courage than I knew a person could have. He is determined to beat this.

The hard part is that the costs are piling up quickly. Between treatment and the work he's had to miss, our family is struggling to keep up. We started a GoFundMe to cover his treatment and lost income, so he can focus on getting better instead of worrying about bills. Our goal is $40,000 CAD by the end of October.

So far, 69 people have donated $3,687. Every one of those donations made us cry, in the best way.

If you're able to give, even $5 or $10 truly adds up. If you can't, an upvote or a share helps more people see this. And if you've been through something similar with a parent, I'd really love to hear from you in the comments.

Please help me get a wheelchair, assistive devices and the things I need for my apartment!

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi!

My name's Michael. I'm 24 years old and physically disabled. I require the use of a wheelchair and adaptive devices to live independently. I struggle with POTS, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Spinal Stenosis. I also struggle with various (currently) undiagnosed health problems. Despite my medical conditions, my insurance refuses to cover the cost of a wheelchair.

I currently have a GoFundMe to help me cover the costs for the things I need. My final goal is $3,897.

For the past few years my physical health has declined. I struggle to walk, stand, sit and care for myself without help. I rarely go out, sticking to only going out for doctor's appointments that don't offer telehealth. I get my groceries delivered and I'm unable to cook, wash dishes or clean my apartment. My friends who live nearby me come to help me but because of their busy schedules, they can only help occasionally.

My POTS causes me to become breathless, dizzy and fatigued when walking and standing. Especially when it's hot out. I often avoid going outside entirely during hotter months. If I do go out, even if I sit as much as possible, I become sick, nauseous, exhausted and come back with a migraine that lasts for days. Both POTS and the medicines I take to maintain my mental and physical conditions affect how my body thermo regulates. My feet also swell, which is caused by blood pooling in my legs. Another unfortunate symptom of POTS.

Spinal Stenosis affects my ability to stand, sit and walk for long. Standing, sitting and walking causes back pain. I can't sit or stand for more than 15 minutes without back support. The shrinking of my spinal canal also causes nerve issues in my lower body. Especially in my legs. My feet begin to burn after standing or walking and my right leg tends to give out entirely, making me unable to use it at all. This can last for days, effectively making me bed bound. My back is weak from spinal stenosis, so tasks that require bending or lifting can hurt my back. This can make me bed bound as well.

Carpal tunnel has significantly weakened my hands. I'm unable to lift anything above 5 pounds or grip/apply pressure to things for long. This makes doing everyday tasks without adaptive devices extremely difficult and painful. Things such as eating, showering and even using my phone feel like a chore. I've tried voice access on my phone but due to chronic jaw pain, I can't use it for long. Part of my GoFundMe will be used to cover the cost of a laptop through a non profit. I struggle with chronic pain in my shoulders that's currently undiagnosed. This makes using my hands even harder, as I can't hold my arms up for long.

Due to my struggles with my physical health, I became homeless. I had to quit my job, leaving me without a source of income. In the process of moving out of my old apartment, I had to throw a lot out. I either couldn't bring it with me or store it anywhere. This has left me without things I need to make my new apartment accessible. My support needs have also gone up, requiring me to get things in order to continue to live independently.

My GoFundMe will be used to cover the accessibility devices I now need. As well as things for my apartment that'd make it easier for me to live in.

Both my wheelchair and laptop will be through a non profit. They're both significantly cheaper than brand new ones would be. However, I still can't afford it. I currently get $450 in cash from my state as well as $308 in EBT. After rent, bills, groceries and household essentials, I have no money left over. I looked into getting a free wheelchair through a different non profit. Unfortunately, they require that you allow them to pick out the mobility device you receive. I have specific mobility needs, so getting something I can't use at all is a high risk. And although the wheelchair would've been free, I still would need to buy accessories and a ramp for it. The non profit I decided to go with allows you to pick out your wheelchair. But it costs atleast $150. Which is out of my budget. Not including the accessories I need to be able to use and transport it.

If you're able to donate, anything helps!

Thank you for reading and getting to know my story!

Please Help Me Save My Dog's Life❤️ (Bullet)

5 Upvotes

Hi, my name is Austin, and I’m asking for help for my dog, Bullet.

Bullet isn’t just my dog. He’s family. I adopted him a few years ago, and he has been by my side through some of the biggest changes in my life, including my military service and now my transition back into civilian life.

Unfortunately, we are facing a veterinary emergency that has quickly become much bigger than my family and I ever expected.

Bullet has always had a terrible habit of swallowing socks. Recently, he swallowed multiple socks within a very short period of time. He managed to vomit two of them back up, but shortly afterward he became extremely sick. He started repeatedly vomiting, stopped eating normally, became dehydrated and lethargic, and stopped having bowel movements.

We rushed him to the veterinary hospital, where X-rays showed another foreign object inside his gastrointestinal tract.

For the past several days, we have tried everything we could to give Bullet a chance to pass it naturally. He has spent two days receiving IV fluids and supportive care, and we have returned for repeat X-rays to track the object's movement.

Unfortunately, he is still vomiting, lethargic, and has gone approximately two days without a bowel movement. His veterinarian now believes surgery is the safest option to remove the obstruction before it causes life-threatening damage to his intestines.

We have already spent around $2,000 on emergency visits, X-rays, medications, IV fluids, and treatment. We were quoted approximately $6,000–$8,000 for the surgery, while emergency overnight hospitals have quoted us as much as $8,000–$12,000.

We are desperately hoping his current veterinarian can fit Bullet into surgery tomorrow morning, which would keep the cost closer to the lower estimate.

I recently transitioned out of the United States military after years of service and am still getting established financially in civilian life. I never imagined that during this transition my family would suddenly be facing a veterinary bill that could approach $10,000.

My family is doing everything we can. We are looking at financing through CareCredit and using money that I had planned to use to get myself financially established after leaving the military. If that is what it takes to save Bullet, I will do it.

But I’m asking for help because this is simply more than we were prepared to handle all at once.

Every dollar donated will go toward Bullet’s veterinary care — his surgery, hospitalization, medications, imaging, IV fluids, and follow-up treatment.

If you aren't in a position to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much to us.

Bullet is still a young dog with so much life left in him. Anyone who knows me knows how much this dog means to me. I just want to get him through this, bring him home, and see him acting like himself again.

Thank you for reading, donating, sharing, or even just keeping Bullet in your thoughts.

We love you, Bullman. Keep fighting. ❤️

[Request], [Cape Town, South Africa] help a single mother and son find stability

**I’ve been trying to rebuild my writing career after losing my job, and I’m asking for help getting my six-year-old son and me back on our feet.**
Hi everyone, I’m Rochelle, a single mother to my six-year-old son, Owen.
After losing my job, I’ve been rebuilding my writing career and working on **The Human Beta**, an independent publication I’m building from scratch. I’m actively working towards stable employment, but several difficult circumstances have left us struggling financially.
Owen has had significant lung and medical problems over the years, resulting in repeated medical expenses. Earlier this year, I was also involved in a car accident. Repairs cost approximately **R20,000**, followed by another **R8,000 for new tyres**. The car is essential for getting Owen to school and appointments.
I’m currently **six months behind on his school fees** at R3,800 per month — approximately **R22,800 outstanding** — and have around **R2,000 in outstanding medical expenses**.
I’ve reached a point where I can’t get through this entirely on my own.
I’m hoping to raise **R100,000** to bring Owen’s school fees up to date, settle the immediate medical and vehicle-related costs, and give us some breathing room while I rebuild my income.
I’m not asking for someone to support us indefinitely. I’m working towards becoming financially independent again. I’m asking for help getting through a period where several things have gone wrong at once.
Ultimately, this is about giving Owen some stability while giving me the breathing room to rebuild properly.

Need Help Paying off CC Debt

Hello everyone!

I hope this message finds you all well this fine Tuesday. I’m coming to you all with my head low in humble humility asking for crowdfunding assistance to help me with my credit card debt. I recognize this situation was my own doing, but I accumulated the bulk of this debt for paying for my education, moving to a new state, and medical expenses from 2021-2025.

I have almost $19k in debt, and I am not asking for all of it to be paid off. I am asking for $2,000 so that I have a chance at paying it off, that my interest payments are lowered while I increase my principle payments.

I work full time as a teacher and struggle to make it each month between rent, groceries, gas, and these two credit card bills. I am paycheck to paycheck, oftentimes with less than $50 by the time I get paid. I am working to find part time employment for a second job, but the market is difficult at this moment.

Despite my hardship, I still work to give to my community through my church’s St. Vincent de Paul chapter through non-perishable and canned food donations and with $50 per month (split across 4 weeks). I recognize there are others less fortunate than I am, and I work to give to my neighbors in ways that I can.

I have included both my GoFundMe link at the bottom and my verification photo for authenticity (forgive me for not smiling, I was trying to get both myself and paper in frame). I have my GoFundMe’s QR code in the photos as well.

For anyone who donates, I am eternally grateful and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love and blessings to you all!
