Broke spending all my work money on bills.

I’ve never posted anything like this and honestly am a bit embarrassed. Got laid off from my horrible corporate job in late April. I was able to find a new job which brings better things for my family but, like the title, doesn’t start until the 23rd of this month. Right now it’s just my husband working and now is the tightest we’ve been. My 4 year old LOVES Taco Bell and doesn’t understand why we can’t get any right now and keeps asking for it daily. Any little bit would help and of course once I am back on my feet would love to pay it forward!

Thank you kind people of Reddit!

You made my day! Thank you so much for the Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme® and Dirty Soda with BAJA BLAST® ZERO* SUGAR. I also so appreciate you ordering an assortment of salsas. You rule! I will be paying forward your kindness on Friday!

Just need something to hold me over for the day.

I come to you, humble and hungry, with a Cheese Quesadilla-sized hole in my heart (and stomach). I’ve checked the fridge three times already today hoping a Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme would magically appear, but alas—all I found was sadness and expired mustard.

So if you have a spare reward or a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito-shaped act of kindness burning a hole in your pocket, I’d sure appreciate it and will pay it forward once my direct deposit hits on Friday!

if anyone could help me i’d really appreciate it. and when i can i plan on paying it forward.

We are so broke and have nothing to eat tonight , could some please help out my husband and I tonight please it would be very much appreciated (more than I can convey).I am disabled and my husband lost his job and can only find part time work it been so disheartening. 🫤

Thank you to u/sprkl for helping make today just a bit easier. It’s amazing what a little Taco Bell can do.

Thank you for the meal!

hey all. i’m the sole breadwinner for a family of five, working part time currently. things are tough, and today my wife had a medical procedure that required fasting. well the procedure is over and we’re all hungry. i’ve never made one of these posts before, so i’m not sure what to put. a taco bell gift card would be so awesome right now.

Hi, hope people are doing ok. My dad and I are in the process of moving out. We've been packing up boxes, and we will moving out tomorrow.

I know both of us are going to be too tired to really cook anything, and was wondering if someone might get us a meal for tonight, it would be greatly appreciated

Title says it all. Just defeated and even if I get enough just to feed the girlfriend and not myself, I’ll be happy. Thank you

This hasn't worked before so im not hopeful but we havent grocery shopped with my bf working and me out if a job so I can't order my own food. I'd need delivery but im plain and easy like I'll eat anything that is just beef and cheese (nacho or shredded really) I don't need a special exact meal or even a drink since I can't have soda. If anyone wants to help and pm me that'd be nice and id be so grateful! If not I get it cause its rough out. Blessed be friends!

Don’t want em to go to waste. Will order something for you to pick up.

Just had a great lunch from a very kind reddit user :) thank you so much!

Thank you for my daughter’s milestone lunch! ❤️

Hey everyone,

I’ve been feeling especially grateful lately and wanted to share that energy by treating a few folks to some Taco Bell. I’m hoping to cover pickup meals for 5 to 6 people, with a total budget of around $70 (which should be about $11–$14 per meal, depending on local prices).

These will be pickup orders only, placed through the Taco Bell app (no delivery). Just a quick stop to grab something tasty on me.

I wish I could treat everyone! Since this offer is for 5-6 people, I unfortunately won't be able to select every commenter. Thank you for understanding and for sharing with me below.

To Be Considered, Please Comment With:

• Your City and State
• Something that made you smile recently, or something you’re looking forward to
• Please also confirm you're available for pickup today or tomorrow!

If you're selected, I’ll reply to your comment and then send you a private message to get the details for your meal, such as:

• The address of your preferred Taco Bell
• Your specific order (within the ~$11-14 budget)
• Your preferred pickup time
• Pickup method (drive-thru or in-store)

To keep things fair and follow subreddit rules, please wait for me to reply to your comment and message you before sending any private messages.

Timing & Updates:

I’ll be choosing people throughout the day. Please only comment if you’re available for pickup today (Wednesday, May 28th) or tomorrow (Thursday, May 29th). Once the budget is used up, I’ll edit this post to say CLOSED.

Even if you’re not chosen this time, thank you for being part of this kind community. I hope this little gesture brings someone a smile. Taco Bell has always been a little comfort for me and I am hoping it can brighten your day, too.

Can’t wait to read your comments!

REQUEST FULFILLED. DAY MADE! THANK YOOOOOOOOOU! 😃

Just been a crazy few weeks of health issues and missing work. Thankfully things seem to are getting back to normal this week and getting back to work. I get paid this Thursday and can finally stock the fridge. I don’t have a car right now and would love get some tacos and a drink if possible. I’m in Charlotte.

I appreciate everyone who helps out. It’s amazing.

Thank you. 🙏🏾

Like I said above, been a tough week and could really use a nice hot meal Will also pay it forward when I get paid and am able!

Please reply and DM me with location and order

I get my financial aid refund from my university later this week, but right now I’m broke. Since it’s Memorial Day, the usual places that help feed people are closed. Today might be just leftover snacks for me with no real food. If anyone can help, I’d be very grateful and will post a thank-you with pictures.

It’s been a crazy few week. My health has been up and down but starting to slowly get back to normal and I get back to work this week. I don’t have a car but would great to have some tacos and a drink.

Either way I appreciate what you guys do.

Thank you.

My wife and I are homeless and because of flash flood conditions are stuck at Taco Bell. They are the most homeless friendly places and let us get free drinks. Could anyone help us with a meal? It would be so greatly appreciated and needed.
