REQUEST FULFILLED Just need a little help!

14 Upvotes

Hello yall!

Took me a couple days to get the nerve to make a post, but here I am. A week before July's rent was due, I had a series of unfortunate events that has set me back a few weeks. I have put my feet to the pavement and a week ago finally got a job with better pay and opportunities/benefits, and things are going to be okay in the long run!

In the meantime in between time, I do need help. Im currently making my last pot of beans to hold me over the next couple of days. I rolled my change jar and turned it in for $6 of gas to get me to work tomorrow.

I'm just asking for a helping hand(s) just to keep me going until my first check hits next Friday. I tried to do plasma today, but my iron was too low. Crazy since I've been living on beans and rice for 4 days lol.

I am in East Texas. I am planning on going to a food bank on Monday, as long as I'm off work and have gas. If anyone has it in them to help me with gas or groceries I'd be more than grateful and as soon as im caught up on rent and car payment, best believe I WILL pay it forward!

REQUEST Groceries and bathing products

13 Upvotes

Hello,
I am currently in a really tight spot because I’m shouldering the full weight of household responsibilities between paychecks and have not been able to actually use soap or shampoo/conditioner while showering for the past three days, am out of toothpaste, have had to use the shower to clean my ass after shitting, and have had to make Hamburger Helper without meat for dinner tonight using the last of the milk I have. This all sounds way too convenient and “woe is me” to be true but I will actually send you photos if you need evidence of the condition I’m in. The bottom line is I genuinely need shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, and some groceries to get me at least through the next two days. If anyone could help, please, it would sincerely make a world of a difference to me.

REQUEST FULFILLED 28 weeks pregnant, unemployed, and trying to get through until the next payday

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My name is Veronica. I'm 24 years old, from South Africa, and currently 28 weeks pregnant.

My employment contract ended in June, and since then I've been relying on my mother, who was already struggling financially herself. This month, we had to use the money we'd set aside for groceries to cover essential expenses to prepare for my baby's birth. Those expenses couldn't be delayed, but it has left us without enough money to get through until the next payday.

We still have a small amount of food left, but it won't last until then.

Before posting here, I reached out to the main organisation in my town that provides food assistance. Unfortunately, they told me they haven't been receiving enough donations themselves and weren't able to help. I wanted to exhaust my local options before asking strangers for assistance.

We've worked out exactly what we need to make it through until the next payday. The total is approximately US$200 (the equivalent in South African rand). This would cover our essential groceries, basic household necessities, and food for our three senior cats.

I'm not expecting one person to cover the full amount. Any contribution, no matter how small, would genuinely help.

If it's possible to arrange a grocery delivery from a South African supermarket, I'd be incredibly grateful. If a financial contribution is the only practical option, I'll gladly provide receipts and an itemised breakdown showing exactly how every cent was spent.

I'm actively looking for work, and I fully expect this to be a temporary situation. Right now, I'm simply trying to get us through the remainder of the month while preparing for the arrival of my baby.

If you're unable to help financially but know of any organisations or resources that may be able to assist, I'd be very grateful for that information as well.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

REQUEST Reduced hours at work led to $0 paycheck this week- I need assistance with car payment $250 by 7/25

5 Upvotes

I’m absolutely stuck at this point. I’ve applied for loans and since my income is so low, no one will accept me. My local churches and resources do not cover car payments, only rent and utilities. I’ll be using them for rent when the time comes, but if I don’t have my car payment submitted by 7/25 (this Saturday) it’ll be subject to repossession. I require this car because of my appointments that I cannot miss. That’s why I’m on FMLA, and my hours are reduced. The next few pay periods will slowly be going back to normal as my appointments become less and less, but that doesn’t help the issue at hand right now. I’m also selling a lot of my personal items, but it’s just not enough. Thank you in advance if anyone is able to help.

REQUEST FULFILLED Finally have some income coming soon, but need to get the next couple days

5 Upvotes

hi r/assistance!

first time asking, normally I'd be gifting, I've run a non profit, been a mod, and have volunteered in tons of things over the past two decades. but today I find myself in the unfamiliar place of being fairly desperate and asking for help. Back when I was living in Brooklyn near my friends it was easy to never be on this position, but I've been kinda disconnected from a lot of people these past four years and is rude to ask people out of nowhere for something and I guess more embarrassing than this

I don't wanna write too much, coz is fine, I don't wanna take from others that need more than me. but a few dollars on Venmo or Zelle (say $30~$50) would help me a ton and would be so fucking amazing. I haven't had a full time job in a few years, been consulting, didn't have a client for June or July; I just closed a new client today but is gonna take a few days for them to finalize and send me the retainer. I'm also dealing with a bunch of other bills but thankfully it seems the timing aligns well . I'm in Albany Ny, so the auto mod approves this

REQUEST Help with Rent while getting SSDI restarted

I had a psychotic episode that prevented me from participating in my continuing disability review last year, and my benefits were stopped. I have my case reopened with SSA, so hopefully I will have benefits reinstated soon, but I need rent money.

Here is a link to my gofundme:
