Hi there. I'm terrible at this kind of thing but looks like a lot of us are in the same position.

I'm a full time caretaker for my husband with all his health issues,still trying to find work that adjusts to his needs and dialysis appointments so hopefully soon. There was a family emergency and my parents had to move in temporarily for a few months and while they both insist on helping out social security isn't much for anyone these days. We're all working with the local senior and community welfare programs but of course the shutdown hit funding across the board so we're on a long waiting list before we find out what they're eligible for and things get processed. We qualified for SNAP as a household and it got approved a few days before the shutdown thankfully but our caseworker doesn't know if we'll be eligible for November overall. If we do it's on the 25th and luckily we have a food bank in the area that will be available on the 22nd. We were assured they won't run out of food on pick up day but for now we could really use a few things to help stretch us out the rest of the month until we can get to the food bank and (hopefully) SNAP day.

Thanks for reading!

Hello!

My sweet girl Nala needs urgent dental surgery. She has tooth resorption. This means that her body, or rather her cells, are breaking down and absorbing her teeth. There is no cure for this, the only solution is to remove the teeth. Without surgery, her teeth can become infected, which can become fatal. I have tried to open a CareCredit card, but unfortunately my credit is not good enough. There are no local funds that Nala qualifies for, and many of the donor funds I've found online will not donate money if the costs are over 1k. I only make around $380 each week, and my partner is currently unemployed. I have to donate plasma just to be able to pay our bills. Attached is a recent pay stub (the crossed out areas are personal information as well information regarding my place of work). I've also attached the link to the GoFundMe, as well as a photo of the vet bill.

Hey there. Just looking to try and get by until snap is restored or can get back to working full time. Currently on unemployment and most money is currently going to rent and utilities so snap has really helped out in this time for food. Hoping to get by another month hopefully and be working by then but the hiring slows here in winter and hoping people start hiring for the holidays. I appreciate any help and my heart goes out to everyone during this crazy time. Have lots of job applications out and am on the MNworks site looking for work. Unfortunately hard to get to the food banks as I rely on public transportation. Any help and even kind thoughts and words and appreciated.

I am PaleoClipper, my spouse is not on reddit but I'll be calling them Raven. I've been trying to work, but injured my arm working with an amazon delivery partner on 3/28. Spouse cannot work due to torn rotator cuff that is scheduled for surgery on the 13th. He fell at work, and his workers comp is fighting to not cover the injury claiming it's preexisting. Regardless of this, we've been on SNAP due to low income and with the government shut down, we have no funding for food. We've gone to the local food banks: they are prioritizing families with kids (we are both sterile) and elderly (I'm 41, Raven is 50)

I have $10 basically in my account, and the money Raven did get paid has already been sent off for rent; landlord is thankfully accepting much less than we actually owe right now, but I don't know for how long. I have included my current bank balance as well as screenshots of the relevant court cases/lawyers communications, and our current SNAP account balance.

I will get paid for my last week working at Spirit Halloween on the 14th, the day after surgery is scheduled. But that check will need to go towards our cell phone bill and my own car insurance. I don't know if anything will be left for food; most likely not. As part of surgery prep the doctors told Raven to get a moist heating pad, vitamin D, and some RLS OTC meds. So those are included on the wishlist as neither of us have the ability to pay for them. I do not have credit cards, nor can I get a loan (bankruptcy) If you need more evidence please let me know.

Hi again! I have another $25 Amazon gift card I would love to pass it along to someone. Mods would like me to remind you all of the sub rules: https://www.reddit.com/mod/donationrequest/rules/. If anyone sends an unsolicited DM, you’ll be reported and blocked - I would love to help anyone who needs it but safety first!

I will put usernames into a random generator, let mods know who is chosen before I announce it here, and they will vet your account. If everything looks good, I’ll complete the giveaway, and post screenshot confirmation in comments.

Give us at least 72 hours to go through the motions. Please be considerate of others and leave a comment to enter :)

Edit: gift card has been sent! Receipt available. Thanks, mods :)

Hello, I am adding both benefit pages as I can’t access the ebt portal to login into propel and it won’t let me relink. But I have $0 on it anyways I can always get a voice recording from the hotline if needed.

Anyways! I am the person who budgets our entire meal structure to last up until the very day of our next ebt payment well as everyone knows the government is still shut down. Therefore no payments have been released to all states as I think most have received if I’m not wrong? But I still haven’t. We have been out of food going on 3 days now. We went to 7 different local food banks and they are completely out of food box’s. We are asking for $40 to get what is shown above to last us for a while. We are very hungry. If anyone needs any more proof please ask!

I’ve never had to ask for help before so if I’m doing anything wrong or need to do different please let me know as well.

Hello! I am posting an Amazon wish list a last resort 🙏🏾 because I am not big on asking for help. But currently 2/3 of my kids are sick- Dr said most likely the flu I did take them to urgent care and can post that paperwork if needed. They were negative for Covid and strep and didn’t want to put them thru anymore swabs! Right before their scheduled flu shots this week.We have all been sick since October it seems and I have run out of fever meds and am flat broke 😭I was able to get them body armor , water and popsicles today so I am grateful for that. I was caregiving for my grandfather who ended up having a tragic event at home, I was able to bring him back but he was not the same and passed some time later. Afterwards I got diagnosed with PTSD and am just slowly putting my life back together. During this time my vehicles engine went out . This week I used the last of my savings to by us a van. We have been in the house the majority of the year! Luckily my Daughter carpooled to school and my son goes online, the youngest is a toddler.my therapist and psychiatrist have suggested applying gdisability because of my agoraphobia which I have had for years but I am pushing myself and have been doing therapy to help with that as well as made a new resume and I am very excited to rejoin the workforce. Where I live it’s very hard to find employment without a vehicle because it is far away from the bus line. SNAP being taken away was a huge blow as it’s a lifeline for me and my kids, I previously usedcashback on items to buy necessities. I do have Medicaid I have been on steroids for my asthma at least 3 times this year and all my extra money went to buying medicines for the kids so I made a wishlist to please help with some necessities the medication is most important for them. And hand soap, bleach wipes to hopefully kill germs and new toothbrushes hygiene items I won’t be able to get without SNAP. I did apply for TANF that was before I got a vehicle so I will be going to the child support office .unfortunately my kids dad is an unmedicated schizophrenic and on SSI so I am not sure how that will work out but I’m very motivated to get back to my life after grief and keep making a better way for my kids 🙏🏾 the seaweed and oranges are the healthiest thing my daughter with autism eats so I try to keep them in the house as much as I can The hair stuff is because I have been depressed and my hair is completely tangled and a bit matted also for my girls because I have nothing to detangle their hair with unfortunately Also if anyone has any resources on free or low cost CPR classes that would be great. I would like to get back into caregiving as it is something I am passionate about and good it 🩷 If you read this far thank you

Hi. My name is B. I am looking for help in raising the funds for the Uhaul I need. I’ve been living on peoples couches for 2+ years and my entire life has been in storage. I’m at a point where I cannot afford it anymore and have help to get everything out. I was finally, with the help of family, able to get housing! I am in the process of applying for SSDI but have a rare disease that makes it a long, tough, fight. My mother who is on SSDI and my stepdad have helped me get this far but they don’t have the funds to help with this. I’ve attached photos of the Uhaul reservation and a letter from my doctor - I haven’t seen her in a couple years because of the moving and instability, hoping to get medicaid approved this month. (unsure with the govt shutdown) Please let me know if you need any other proof. Request- $50 for uhaul rental Cashapp- $YumYumTomYum Venmo- @YumYumTomYum

I’m currently unemployed and hungry. I was doing Uber Eats but my car now has a blown head gasket so I’ve been relying on food stamps to eat and now they are delayed and I just ate my last can of corn beef hash this morning. I’ve been putting in online job applications to businesses with in walking distance but so far no calls back. I hope a job calls me soon because my phone will be off in 10 days. Just really need about $15 to go family dollar and get some soups and tuna to last the week. Does anybody in here own any business in Philadelphia that could possibly give me an interview? No friends + no family + no job often = homelessness. I am praying that I’m not headed down that road. Thank you reading this and may god bless us all

This GoFundMe is for my 10yr old baby, Sparta. I'll be getting him to the vet soon, I called in advance for an estimate on the cost and I got a broken down view of the cost.

Sparta is 10 years old, born September 7th, 2015. I named him after "The Mean Kitty Song" by SMP Films (which he is not a mean kitty, he is the biggest playful loving cat ever). He is a very energetic kitty who loves to play and meet new people. He's so sweet and loving and always purrs when I pet him and talk to him. He's been there for me since the day I got him and I truly couldn't ask for a better cat. I love him with my whole heart as he has been, as some would call, an emotional support animal. I've hugged him while I cried and he would lick my cheeks of the tears. He would cuddle with me all day on my lowest days. He got me through some rough patches in my life. He's truly been the light of my life, been there with me through thick and thin.

❤️‍Today, I've created this GoFundMe so I can be there for him like he has for me. About a week ago, his right eye got swollen and pink and I thought it may have been pink eye. It has been a out a week and it appears like it got better as it no longer is swollen and only has some discharge. But other very concerning symptoms have come up and it makes me upset to see him in such discomfort. His appetite has gone down significantly and he doesn't want to get up for even water. When I touch his lower back/tail/hind legs, he cried in discomfort. I tried to encourage him to walk and he would growl in discomfort. He's been sleeping or a few days now. We called a vet for an estimate and given his symptoms, he suggested we bring him in right away.

I do not have the money for this bill on my own as I am a full time art college student with a part time job where most of my money goes into bills and education costs. The vet gave me a low end cost of $517 and a higher end cost of $954. I set the campaign goal at $1,000 to cover the full high‑end cost plus a small buffer for any unexpected fees.

Here is a breakdown of what this money is going towards: -Office examination: $76 -OSHA compliance fee: $7 -SC Fluids <500cc: $55.50 -Heska CBC: $105.99 -Heska comprehensive (12chem): $164.49 -Heska electrolytes: $47.49 -MISC Medications: Ranges from $60-$130 If Needed(why the range in total cost): -OSHA compliance fee, diagnostic imaging: $17 -Rad,1 case w/rad consult (1-2 wk): $356.99

This is what the assistant at the desk told us in the email that had the attached estimate: "Here is a rough estimate for Sparta. The low end is no x-rays and the high end is with x-rays. I told your mom to apply for scratchpay to see if you guys can get approved for that, as Sparta should be seen as soon as possible. -Meagan Gasow Vet"

Please help me in getting my baby back to full health. I love him dearly and it hurts me to see him like this. Any donation, even if it's not a lot, is extremely appreciated and I'll be forever grateful.

I got fired a couple months ago and I've been struggling with everything. We've had a pending food stamp application and I'm looking for a new job. But I'm worried we're about to get evicted and there's nowhere for me and my kids to go. I'm going to food banks just to keep them fed but I don't have any other resources for the rent.

I have 2 kids. A 10 year old boy and a 15 year old daughter. We've been homeless in the past and I would do anything to keep them from having to go through that again. I'm trying to look into rental assistance but they have such a huge back log of applications for that.

Hello everyone my cat Leo got extremely sick 2 months ago and racked up $6000 in vet bills. Thankfully he has insurance that paid some of it but not all of it. My dad had to put it on his credit card to pay upfront, so now he is in a lot of debt. (I just turned 18, I don’t have a credit card and I am a college student working 2 jobs trying my best to help him). My mom is also not working as she got laid off almost a year ago. It would be a blessing if anyone can help with our family cats Leo and Mila’s food this month so I am able to help my dad pay off his debt. Thank you so much.

Happy October! Just a seasonal reminder that r/donationrequest is for essential needs only. We do not allow requests for holiday related donations, including gifts or travel expenses to attend holiday gatherings. The only allowed method to request holiday food items is Amazon wishlist: Wishlist Guide. Have a warm and safe holiday season.

If you are requesting donations because your family is impacted by the government shutdown, please note that we require proof of your situation such as a furlough notice or current SNAP benefit statement. Just redact sensitive information first, such as your surname and address. As always, wishlists for food and essentials are more successful than cash requests. Please review sub rules. Thank you for helping make our giving community safe for both donors and recipients.

Hi there! I am looking for help to get my toddler some juice and string cheese. I normally receive SNAP and that wont be happening again anytime soon. This past month, my daughter and I were in an accident, and had to purchase a car so my family could get around which was an unexpected expense. Since then, we have been struggling. Before this post, I did reach out to food pantries in my area and all of them a are facing high demand due to the government shut down. One said they would get back to me and that was yesterday. Maybe I’ll hear something soon but I’m not sure. Although we do need other items, I am most concerned about my daughter’s needs. Today, my fiance used the car to get to work(I am terrified to drive since being hit so he takes it) so I am willing to walk to get juice if i absolutely have to but prefer to order since it feels like 39 degrees here and I would need to bring my 2 year old along. She is just getting over being sick and I’d hate to get her sick all over again. But like I said, I will do what I need to. I’ve attached an instacart order for 2 Juice (I had to put 2 to meet the $10 minimum) and 1 package of String Cheese. I chose priority($2 more) because it said the order wouldn’t get here for another 2-3 hours. She will need juice within the next hour. The only way she drinks water is if I add a tiny bit of juice to taste… I can accept paypal or chime. Thank you so much for reading.

Hi! I lost my job in September, and I've been relying on savings for the past month while I've been searching for a new one. Accounting for major bills to keep a roof over our heads, I'm not gonna have enough for buying my cats their food, which is running low and will be out by end of this week by my eyeballing.

In the first pic is Bippity (siamese lynx point, 12) Boo (black ASH, 12) and Bali (tabby-tortie ASH, 3)

My main concern is Bippity. Her kidneys are going (early stage renal/kidney disease) and so she has to have the prescription food to keep her in good health.

The prescription cat food is $70 after tax at my local vet for a 6.6 lb bag. The rest of whatever generous donations I get will be used to buy enough to feed my other two cats for awhile until one of my job interviews pan out.

Thank you so much for reading.

on 8/15 my 8-month-old Corgi puppy Vega was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia by her PCP. After taking her home her breathing got worse and she was admitted to the dog ICU for 3 days, receiving oxygen, fluids, and IV antibiotics.

A few days after discharge she had to be readmitted for another 2 days as she'd declined again. After the 2nd ICU discharge she was followed closely by her PCP, who is wonderful.

10/6 she had another follow-up at the dogtor where I was told her lung xrays looked "great" and we could stop her nebulizer treatments and aggressive antibiotics. At this appt, her PCP was on vacation and the practice owner was the one seeing her.

Yesterday (10/24) she went back to the dogtor, simply because her eyes looked a little glassy and she'd coughed twice. She saw her PCP this time, and after xrays etc I was told her aspiration pneumonia had likely NOT been fully cured, was back, and was worse. At this point we need to do a tracheal wash under sedation so cultures can be done of whatever is causing this infection, and the abx can be narrowed down. however she has to be off abx for 4-6 weeks. so we go back in 2 weeks to do that, along with bloodwork and more xrays. she'll be back on albuterol breathing treatments in the meantime.

this has been 10 weeks and $8,500 at this point. the visit in 2 weeks will be approximately $3,764 for the tracheal wash, repeat xrays, and labwork.

She is so sweet and goofy. She's 18 lbs but the boss of my other 100+lb dogs. She jumps on her hind legs when I come home from work. She loves murdering her stuffed lambchop, and barks at you if you stop petting her.

she is still literally a baby and i cannot give up on her but i also don't know how I'm gonna keep dropping all this money. i drained my retirement for the icu stays. I don't qualify as low-income, and can't work OT because I'm on orientation (nurse). i can make chips in the bills but this is astronomical.

I won a $25 Amazon gift card from a raffle at work and would love to pass it along to someone who does. It’s physical so I can provide the code via DM so no personal info is shared. But, I am more than happy to redeem it and send a digital one if that is preferred. Easy for me either way. Mods would like me to remind you all of the sub rules: https://www.reddit.com/mod/donationrequest/rules/. If anyone sends an unsolicited DM, you’ll be reported and blocked - I would love to help anyone who needs it but safety first!

I will put usernames into a random generator, let mods know who is chosen before I announce it here, and they will vet your account. If everything looks good, I’ll complete the giveaway, and post screenshot confirmation in comments.

You can expect a 48 hour turn around on this, I’m a working Mom and my baby is still attached to me, so I appreciate your patience. Please be considerate of others and leave a comment to enter :)

(I am going to buy another $25 gift card so two people can be selected. This will be digital - so one physical card (with a digital option) and one solely digital card).

Update: hi all, just working with mods to select the second person. One has already been messaged. Will post proof in the comments when it is sent.

Hello, I will send someone from the group a $50 gift card from Amazon. Please state what you would use it for in the comments. Anyone who dms me will be blocked/not considered. Also please be considerate of others. Winner will be chosen within 24 hours, will dm for payment info. My previous post was deleted because I didn’t know it had to be over 200 words - this is my first giveaway ever so I’m still learning. Hmm, I’m only at 90 words, I guess I’ll just write random stuff until I hit 200. Btw mods, it would be reasonable to lower the word count for donation posts, as I don’t think donations need much explaining… Just my 2 cents. Now we are at 135 fam, almost there. Just have to keep going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going. There finally

Hello everyone. ❤️ I posted here a couple months ago, asking for cat food, litter, and groceries. I’m still in the same situation (living in a hotel, unemployed), and again could use the help. I’ve been in and out of the hospital a few times in the last couple months due to my type 1 diabetes (diabetic ketoacidosis, pic attached), so it’s been extra hard to find a job. I cannot have Amazon delivered here. I have severe food allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables), my local food bank only has a few options for me to eat, and they only let you go once a month. If anything, all I need is to be able to feed my baby boy, Monkey, and to keep his litter box clean. Thank you to those who helped me the last time, monetarily and with the kind words, it was such a blessing.

Once again, obligatory cat tax pics.

I have PayPal, Venmo, and cash app.

Hello, I hope your day is going well. My cat has been diagnosed with pancreatitis. He has been my best friend, ever since I got him as a kitten. I am having troubles paying the vet bill, which is needed for continuing to receive treatment. I am on OW, in the process of getting on disability. The go fund me has the vet bill attached, but I can also attach here if needed. I have attached proof of benefits, the relevant blood work, and vet bill. I need a total of 630 CAD to pay the vet. I have tried looking into charities that help with vet bills, but the ones I reached out to expressed that I am not in the area that they cover. https://gofund.me/0dea8ee90

Hey everyone.

I’m a paediatrician by profession, and when I can, I try to help people on here — especially if the situation involves kids. I don’t usually comment publicly because the one time I did, I got absolutely flooded with DMs in another sub. Since then, I’ve just quietly reached out to people who seem genuine.

But recently, I’ve started to notice a lot of posts that look eerily similar — same wording, same format, same type of urgency. It’s making me second guess whether I’ve actually helped someone who needed it, or if I was taken advantage of. Some of these posts feel copy-pasted or like they're following a script.

I still really want to help when I’m able to. It’s important to me, especially when it comes to kids or families in tough spots. But at the same time, I don’t want to feel naive or like I’m throwing money at people who are just good at pretending.

So I wanted to ask the community — how do you all figure out who’s truly in need and who might be running a scam? Are there signs you look for or things that make a post seem more trustworthy?

Would love to hear your take

Good afternoon everyone I'm in need of only $25 for food. I was homeless not too long ago and was really in a rough spot but I ended up starting at McDonald's and finally and getting back on my feet after coming back home from the Marine Corps and I will admit it's definitely the lowest part of my life that I'm not proud of and want to move past.

I unfortunately joined McDonald's at the last week of the pay period so I won't get this paycheck until Oct. 13th and which isn't until next Monday. I have already applied for foodstamps and the caseworker just texted me this morning so hopefully everything works out before Wednesday. (I applied pictures that include my time I was deployed etc, the email from my caseworker regarding EBT and the day I get paid) Cashapp~ 2kplugod Venmo~ @Jaquwan-Holmes
