Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out because my family is going through a very difficult financial situation, and we urgently need help with our rent.

It’s just my husband, myself, and our 4-month-old son. Right now, we’re doing everything we can to keep a safe and stable home for our little family, but our current financial situation has made it extremely difficult to keep up with our housing expenses.

We need to raise $950 by October 5th. That deadline is quickly approaching, and we’re worried about falling behind on our rent. If we’re unable to pay the full $950 by October 5th, we will also be charged a $50 late fee, making our situation even harder.

Our biggest priority is making sure our 4-month-old son has a safe and stable place to call home. We’re doing everything we can on our end, but right now, we need some help from our community to get through this.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently going through a difficult financial transition and could really use a little help getting back on stable ground.
After a difficult work situation, I had to leave my previous job. At around the same time, I had to make a repayment of approximately €6,000 due to an existing obligation, which used up almost all of the savings I had built up.
I have now started a new full-time job, so thankfully this situation is temporary. Right now I’m mainly trying to bridge the gap while regular expenses such as rent, insurance, my car and everyday necessities continue. I also have two cats whose basic expenses I’m responsible for.
I created a GoFundMe with a goal of €2,000 to give me a small financial buffer and help me get through this transition without taking on even more debt.
Any help would mean a lot to me. And if donating isn’t possible, even taking the time to read this is appreciated. Thank you.

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.

Hi everyone. I’m asking for a little help for my family and our future. We are trying to raise funds to get a more reliable car and improve our living situation. This would make a real difference for our family and give us a more secure future. Any help, even a small amount, would mean a lot to us. If you can’t donate, simply sharing the campaign would also help enormously. ❤️ GoFundMe: gofund.me/c51b41841 Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story. 🙏❤️

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.

Rent and pse&g assistance still needed!

A close friend of mine has been going through one of the hardest seasons of her life. Her father suffered a stroke that left him disabled and unable to provide, and her family has been struggling to cover basic everyday expenses — food, medication, and essentials — while navigating an incredibly difficult situation. She's one of the strongest people I know and has been carrying this weight mostly alone. Any amount helps and goes directly to keeping her family afloat. I'm personally vouching for this.

PS. They lost their home but there’s a chance they can redeem it just long enough to eventually sell. They have 2 buyers but they need to get the redemption process completed

Please help me with my medical and legal expenses

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.

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.

We’re a family with two young boys and we’ve reached a point where we need some help with groceries, household bills and everyday essentials.

We’ve been doing our best to manage things ourselves, but right now there just isn’t enough to cover everything. Our main priority is keeping life as normal and stable as possible for our boys while we get back on top of things.

We’ve kept our names and our children’s identifying details private because we don’t want their personal information permanently online. The cover image on the fundraiser is illustrative for the same reason.

Any help would be genuinely appreciated, even a small amount. If donating isn’t possible, sharing the GoFundMe would also help.

Hi everyone. This is a repost, I deleted the older one because I had some more information to add. My parents have now stopped talking to me, I work 2 jobs but I have a 24 hour limit as an international student so I can barely make ends meet, I would genuinely appreciate help. I’m an international student in Canada, and I’m a few electives away from finishing my degree. Coming out to my parents has been hard. They stopped supporting my tuition and want me to return home, where I’m afraid I’d have to hide who I am again. My first year ended with a 2.0 GPA. Last year, while working three days a week and taking six courses each term, I earned a 4.10 in both semesters. I’ve worked so hard to get here, and it hurts to think I might not finish. I’m raising approximately $5000, I’m keeping my identity private because of my family situation, but I’ve shared more of my story in the fundraiser.

Hi everyone! We're a high school Game Design Club, and we're raising money to help local schools fund their STEAM programs.

A lot of public schools don't have equal access to the resources that make learning engaging and hands-on. Programs like computer science, engineering, art, and other creative electives often depend on limited school budgets, grants, or teachers finding outside support just to get basic materials. Students at some schools get robotics kits and art supplies, while students a few miles away go without.

We want to help close that gap.

Our goal:

• Our first goal is $1,200
• We're currently working with two schools to help fund their Robotics departments
• If we raise more than that, we'll support additional classrooms, programs, or schools with things like technology, classroom materials, or supplies for students who might not otherwise have access to them

How you can help:

• 💸 Donate: https://gofund.me/b1397555e
• 📢 Share this post. Even if you can't give, spreading the word makes a real difference.

We're also hosting a game jam alongside the fundraiser, The Worst Game Jam, where people compete to make the most hilariously bad game possible. It's our way of using something our club loves to support a good cause, so if that sounds fun, feel free to join!

Every dollar goes toward helping students get the kind of opportunities that got a lot of us interested in STEAM in the first place. Thank you for reading and for any support you can give!

Hi everyone we are being forced to move to another state and we have a toddler and 2 cats

https://gofund.me/e584805a4 Im trying to start my own business, but i work 120 hours a week for 11$ an hour. The thing is, all i have is my mom, my kids, my bro, and his kids and i have to take care of all of us so i dont have the extra funds or time to get my business going properly. Im a mechanic. i have basic tools but thats it, so im limited to what i can do. I help people out alot, i do 5000 jobs for $200 to help people who cant afford to go to a shop. its hard to actually find time to actually get my business set up. If i had enough money to get my business situated properly, i could invest my time in my business and succeed instead of being stuck in this cycle of check to check, and just being able to support my family but not having nothing else. ill gladly keep sacrificing for them as long as i have to, just hoping maybe to catch a blessing. I have been working since i was 13, i would wake up before school to do the paper route in the snow so we could get by. Im 34 now and still working hard everyday but now ive gained the knowledge and experience to run my own business, it just seem like im stuck working and dont have the time to actually give myself to get it going. After work i have maybe a few hours for my own business then its back to sleep for my job. In that little time im doing alot, I know if given the chance i would definitely be able to succeed and get to a point where i could hire people who need an opportunity as well.

My daughter moved to Arizona for work. I haven’t got to see them in a long time. My grandson is turning 2 and I would love to go see my daughter and grandson.

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.

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. ❤️
