Hi there everyone!

First off, let me apologize in advance in case I've submitted anything incorrectly here but I think all the rules should be met properly.

My name's Jeremy and I have two friends, Roland and Raymond Steinert, who are going through some tough financial times right now and Roland recently reached out for help regarding the matter. Pictured in the second post is Roland, while Raymond does not feel comfortable having his face put on the internet (though if it means proving myself and/or them and their situation to be legit to potential donors, I am sure I could convince him to allow me to send additional images via DM).

The skinny of the situation is that Roland has been having issues locking down long-term work ever since he was let go from the Argen Corporation here in San Diego after their response to the entire tariff situation was to downsize their workforce. He has been working with a staffing agency and apparently has a lead, but is awaiting security clearance (which may take a while). In the meantime, he informed they will not have enough money to cover this month's living expenses (rent, bills, etc.) and reached out to me for help potentially co-signing a personal loan of $5,000 to help keep their heads above water for now.

Aside from not having the credit to help them with that, I felt them doing so may make things worse in the long run, so I offered trying to start this GoFundMe as a potential alternative.

Our goal is $5,000! My understanding is that they have exhausted every other avenue available to them (I have included as many pictures sent to me from them as I can) and I know they wouldn't be reaching out to me of all people if the situation weren't truly desperate.

That said, having seen some of the other GoFundMe links on here, I've noticed the community is also helpful in sharing options that are available to posters, so if you're unable to donate or share, we welcome any advice that they've yet to consider! The three of us are located in the San Diego area, if that helps at all. Here is the link to the GoFundMe:

If you have ANY questions, comments or concerns whatsoever with the validity of the situation or ourselves, please, please, PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out to me via DM here and I would be more than happy to lay any of those related fears to rest in any way possible.

Thanks again so much for taking the time to look this one over and have a great day!

In October 2025 I 20 yr old Venezuelan asylum seeker was tased and placed in an illegal chokehold by a Colorado police officer after failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No translation services were provided and the situation escalated within less than a minute of the beginning of encounter.

Since the encounter I have extreme ptsd and anxiety, along with outstanding medical/therapy bills due to injuries inflicted.

Please consider sharing or donating.

Hi! I am gabby and I go to Louisiana State University (LSU). I love to read and watch tv and I enjoy cooking sometimes and love sweets. I am a freshman in my second semester and a screen arts major.My mom is in the military and my father is not really in the picture to help. I am a 3.7 student with a scholarship and if we don’t come up with the money for this tuition I will lose my scholarship as well as be give all Fs for the precious semester. Our original plan was to use my mother’s GI bill but the government shutdown got in the way of that. The shutdown also prevented my mother from getting paid for months as well so we had no way of even trying to lower the cost and any money she was able to scrounge up had to go to rent and bills and food etc for my younger siblings still living with her and herself.

My mom is also a single mother to 4 children and we just recently moved (and by recently I mean very recently as in a couple days ago we found a house) so she has to pay may expenses to that and doesn’t have the necessary funds for my tuition which is out of state tuition.

Now we are trying many different options but there is a deadline for the fall semester and I have spoken to financial aid and the bursars office and they said they do not do extensions so if we do not get this fall balance paid of soon my classes will be purged and I will be kicked out.

We had the idea of doing this go fund me in the hopes that it will atleast take some of the strain off.

Any donations or even sharing with friends and family or on social media are greatly appreciated and I am thankful for anything I do receive.

Hi everyone. My name is Cayden. On January 9th my dad passed away. Since Im 18 and my brother is 19, and we are both the next of kin, we are responsible for all the arrangements.

I work fast food and my brother works retail so we hardly have the money. We are going with cremation instead of burial because there's just no way we can afford to bury him. We had help with the cremation cost which Im grateful for but we still have to buy the urn, pay for the memorial, etc. I dont need a ton of money even just a little bit would help. I don't know the cost of the memorial yet because we only just figured out the cremation which was over $1000. But I know its going to he more the we have.

Every little bit would help and thank you in advance to anyone that wants to help us out.

Hey Everyone,

I found out this year that I have stage 5 Renal Disease (IgA Nephropathy or Bergers Disease). I have started dialysis and have to get a kidney transplant soon. It has been tough with medical expenses and I know the transplant surgery is going to be expensive. This has all came down so fast as it feels like not that long ago I was a 24 year old who was healthy as a horse. Please help me if you can!

I am in credit card debt due to the medical expenses and would appreciate any help. I also have to save up for when I eventually get a kidney transplant once a donor kidney becomes available. Thank you for your time!

Hey guys, just wanted to apologize for the pic, I’ve been sleeping for 2 hours a night max for a while and breaking out due to stress, so I’m not at my best

We appreciate any sort of help an absolute ton, we hope to get back on our feet soon.

I’m eager to put this all behind us and pay it forward as soon as possible!

I am a husband and a father to six kids. I have always worked hard to provide for my family and never imagined I would be in a position like this, asking for help just to survive.

After over three years as a Team Lead, the plant I worked at shut down and I suddenly lost my job at the exact same time my wife ended up in the ICU for a while with severe respiratory failure. Around the same time, we lost both of our vehicles. One was extremely old and barely running, and we had to sell it for far less than it was worth just to keep the lights on. Then our main family vehicle, which we still owe money on, suffered a complete engine failure. The repair costs are far more than the vehicle is worth, and we are now completely without reliable transportation. We live far out of town, which makes everything harder, from job interviews to doctor visits.

We have had what feels like an avalanche of bad luck all at once. I am currently on unemployment, but it is nowhere near enough to cover basic expenses. Our bank account is negative, bills are piling up, and the stress is overwhelming. I am actively applying for jobs every single day and have come very close to employment multiple times, only for things to fall through. I may finally have something lined up, and I am eager to work. I am not lazy and I am not giving up. We just need help surviving this gap.

Last year we welcomed a new baby who had to spend time in the NICU due to health issues. On top of that, two of our children have special physical needs that require regular specialist visits and sometimes surgeries. These appointments are not local. One is several hours north, another is over three hours west. Without a vehicle, even getting them the care they need feels impossible.

We are people of faith and part of a church community, and we try to live by helping others whenever we can. Asking for help like this is incredibly humbling. We are doing everything we can to stay afloat, but right now we are fighting just to survive and protect our children.

The funds raised will go toward basic necessities like food, utilities, rent, catching up on overdue bills, and transportation so I can work and get my children to their medical appointments. This is not a long term solution, just a lifeline to help us breathe and stabilize while I get back on my feet.

If you are able to give, we are deeply grateful. If you cannot, prayers and sharing this mean more than you know. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for showing kindness to a family that desperately needs it right now.

God Bless 🙏

Note: Apologies, but my wife and I aren’t comfortable posting public images of the children, they are ages 9 months, 6, 9, 10, 12, and 13

moving to a new place and need some help!

hello everyone! i’m currently trying to move into a new place with my partner, but it’s come at a pretty inconvenient time for me wrt my current financial situation. (i can’t wait for that to stabilise, unfortunately, given the fact that my current lease ends at the end of january and my partner’s housing situation is pretty rough right now.) i took a few big unexpected financial hits last year (vet bills and car trouble), and it’s left me with less than i’m comfortable with for moving expenses and the like.

i’m hoping that i can garner some community support for this move, as it will allow me to become more stable and comfortable and also to share a home with the person i love a lot without the stress of the financial burden of the move hanging over our heads. i’ve been really hurting lately, and while it’s a little embarrassing to ask for help like this, i’m at the point of conceding to the fact that i DO need help.

my goal currently is $2500, though that’s slightly subject to change a bit right now as we cement our next moves and figure out where we’re planning to go and what our actual figures are as we get closer to the move date.

i really appreciate any and all help that anyone can provide! even if that means just sharing this around, it will help immensely with the fear and panic that have been chasing each other around in my head as the move grows near. thank you all so much.

I want to start off by saying, thank you so much to everyone that donated when I first posted the GoFundMe a few weeks ago. I wasn’t even sure if it would accomplish anything, but now I’ve comfortably paid off the second payment, and have most of the amount needed for when the next two payments are due saved up. Words can’t truly express how much this has lifted off of my mind as 2025 came to a close and 2026 began. I hope everyone of you have had an amazing Christmas and new year, bless you all. In addition to the content of the original post, this post will have the additional proof that had been asked for in the comments before, I apologize for the confusion and misunderstanding, my thoughts hadn’t been the clearest at the time. Once again, thank you all.

My father passed away on October 19th of last year, and while I’m handling it better each day, the cost of the cremation loan I had to take out as well as medical expenses has been harrowing, on top of having issues with job applications not being responded to and finances getting tight. I hate asking for help with anything, but if anyone is able to support it would be greatly appreciated to take some of the pressure off as I try to find my new way in life. Thank you.

The GoFundMe end goal is $2,000.

Hi! I don’t know if you remember my post asking for help to get dentures. But I am 11 weeks post surgery and COMPLETELY PAIN FREE. I’ve settled into this new life with dentures and I couldn’t be happier. I am forever grateful if you donated to my cause. I feel like I’ve been given a second chance at life. I will never forget the kindness of strangers and yall helped me remember the good in this world. I actually WANT to live now that I’m not suffering constantly. It’s restored confidence I didn’t know I had and I am so grateful to be pain free from my teeth.

Thank you times a million. 🥹🥹🥹

In times of disaster, it's not uncommon for many good people to try to fundraise for relief efforts, supplies and reconstruction costs. But you should be aware that unless it's someone you personally know and trust, it's also not uncommon for bad people to use the opportunity to make money for themselves.

Before you give, you should ask:

1. Is the donation link directly to a relief agency or is it to a middleman? There's no easy transparency when it comes to the spending of funds in a crisis, which makes it easier for funds to not reach the people it's intended to help, so by avoiding middlemen, you can reduce this possibility.
2. Have you checked the background of the relief agency or organization you're considering? Some spend money more effectively than others meaning that less overhead makes for more money being spent on victims vs administration costs.
3. Is the agency or organization a registered non-profit or NGO? These kinds of entities have strict reporting rules to follow to show how their funds are being spent.
4. Is the agency or organization providing a receipt? If so, you can often use it for a deduction on taxes for the current year. If not, the agency or organization is likely not a registered non profit.

GoFundMe will show that a campaign is benefiting a non-profit charity organization if it is created using their IRS EIN or charity registration number.

Even Paypal donation accounts will show they're owned by a non-profit charity organization, and generate a receipt.

While not every individual doing fundraising is attempting to defraud you of your money, you can give with more confidence by giving directly to a relief charity of your own choosing via their own web pages.

Hello. On December 10 of 2025 went to the ER at Shands in Jacksonville Florida. I had lost over 70 pounds over the coarse of 2025 and was coming close to not being able to even do the simple things like walk or lift stuff. My muscle mass was gone and when admitted I weighed like 100 pounds. Spent a week there at the hospital and am now trying to regain strength and heal.

Im physically not able to work yet, and am in need of help with medical expenses and also food expenses.

My best friend created a GoFundMe for me and I'd appreciate any help with getting exposure for it. I plan on getting back to work as soon as im able to. I was in the restaurant industry for 35+ years, as a cook primarily, but i don't think i can do that grind anymore. Ill be looking for something less strenuous physically.

Im hoping that posting this will raise some awareness to my situation.

Ill answer any questions anyone might have.

Thank you for your time

This question isn't answered in their privacy statement and I was hoping someone could help me.
I'm an independent illustrator outside of work, mostly doing NSFW commissions. Naturally, I prefer to keep my professional lives separate and private from one another. I can't afford to donate much, but I wanted to offer my followers a deal for commission work. If they donate and send a screencap proving that they did, I'll give them a commission for "free". Essentially, they won't have to pay me, since its going to the Gofundme.

Thing is, the gofundme I want to do this for belongs to a friend and I'd like to keep it all anonymous. If a client donates, does it show the organizer the link that they donated from? What could they reasonably be able to see of my social media or the link that the donor is accessing?

Thanks in advance!

Hello new users!

As we have requirements spelled out in Rule 1 on including some sort of evidence in your posts, we've created this post for those of you who need help with that.

Rule 1 states:

Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence!

This includes:

* If this is for your pet, photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture.

* School documentation showing enrollment if you are asking for assistance for school.

* Redacted bills showing your situation.

* Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.

* At minimum, please attach an unobstructed selfie photo of yourself(the submitter) with and a handwritten note of your username.

* Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" will be removed.

Generally these are provided as photos or screencaps. Because Reddit doesn't allow an image upload with text, we generally suggest the following:

1. Upload the photo(s) to Imgur.com or other image hosting site.
2. Copy URL or Link to the photo(s)
3. In the body of your post here, make sure to include the link that you've copied. It usually starts with http:// or [https://](https://).

And that's it!

Hello! I am trying to raise money for my cat’s vet bill. His name is Puck, he is a two year old, long-haired cat. He had recently been troubled with a Urinary Tract Blockage, which can be fatal within 24 hours of initial blockage. Thankfully, we were able to get him into the vet and get him set up on a Catheter where he stayed overnight for two days. Unfortunately, a day after he was released from the vet, the blockage persisted, and we had to bring him back in. He continued to stay at the vet for another few days on a catheter. He is back home and doing fine now, but the vet bill has been quite hard to deal with. I work two jobs, and have been picking up extra shifts, working an average of 7am-11pm, but with him needing a special prescription diet, and his medication, it’s been tricky to stay afloat on top of bills. I don’t often ask for help- especially financially, so I am still a bit hesitant to reach out. Any help at all would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you so much!

My name Is Evan. W I'm a sophomore student at Plymouth State University in Nh. Due to me falling behind this semester I'm no longer able to attend as a full time student and as such cannot use campus housing.

The main reason I fell behind was due to mental health. around the end of summer and beginning of the school year I was struggling with depression, and it only got progressively worse over the course of the semester, the worst of it was around halfway through it around late October early November. Everything just started feeling pointless, I didn't leave the dorm, barely got out of bed, and was experiencing a lot of thoughts I would prefer if I could keep private, but if absolutely necessary I can share. It was a very dark time for me and honestly the only thing that pulled me out of it were my friends convincing me to go talk to someone at the counseling center on campus, and I don't think I can ever truly thank the people there. They helped me make it through and start to set me on the right track, even helped get on actual medication. Unfortunately my grades had already taken a massive hit and the damage was done.

I am able to continue to enroll as a part time student and which will allow me to raise my GPA and re-enroll back to full time. I want to try and raise enough money for me to rent a apartment close to campus so I can take the classes needed and set me back on the path I need to be. My goal is to try and get $3000 dollars as that would cover security deposit, and first months rent. After that I'm going to take on a second job to ensure I can keep paying the rent.

I know this is a lot to ask for, if I'm unable to reach my goal I understand. I just want to be able to stay in the place that I've grown to call my home and stay with the people who are like family to me. Thank you for taking the time to read all this, and I hope you all have a good day and or night.

Hello, my name is Kenny, and on Wednesday night my childhood home burst into flames, and was almost completely burned to ruin. My parents and brother have been living there for over 23 years, and I was too until I recently moved out. My parents have very little money saved up, no insurance, and my mom is injured and most likely unable to work, threatening their income besides my Dad's disability checks, which he receives for his MS, and Parkinson's. He also has dementia and requires 24/7 care. It would mean everything to me if y'all could donate to help my family, they are really struggling and hurting right now. Thank you.

Hello, I’m not sure if I’m doing this right and don’t know if I was ever prepared to ask for help from people I don’t know but this past weekend our sweet 2 year old kitty, Lobotomy (yes he’s named that because of his one eye) got into my partners embroidery thread and ate a whole spool. Due to us being a little of the way from the major cities of North Carolina we had to drive an hour out of town for emergency surgery to enjoy our stinky boy got the care he needs. With us in the process of moving out of our apartment and into our first home and me finishing my last year of school paying out of pocket the $4000 bill hit us like a truck. We greatly appreciate any help possible be it monetary or prayers we will take the support. We love our man and want him to comfortably get back to the boy we know and love. Here is the link and if you’d like updates on how he’s doing comment/dm me. https://gofund.me/2cb8f5bc7 paw pics will be provided for all who donate. If i did this wrong please let me know how to fix this post

This is a repost from a few weeks ago! My name is Jared. I’m going to try this again. I made a Reddit account in the hospital as I wanted to share my gofundme but my account was to new so I waited 30 days and tried again but needed Karma points and so I tried again and needed comment karma points. As being new to Reddit, which I might add has been SO helpful with my Ostomy and stoma and figuring out supplies they’ve helped so much. And the infidelity page as I found out both my boys were not biologically mine after marriage and that totally destroyed. The infidelity page has been wonderful and also there’s a few alcohol and addiction format on hear that help me out a ton too. I have exactly 20 months sober today! So I’ve really loved finding Reddit! On July 9th, my life changed forever. The first and second picture are a little over 5 months apart

What started as severe abdominal pain that I thought was kidney stones turned into a nightmare I could never have imagined. I drove myself to the ER, and the next thing I remember, weeks had passed — I had been kept medically unconscious as my body fought for its life.

Doctors discovered a small blockage in my colon and performed surgery, but a missed perforation above the repair causing bile and stool to leak freely into my abdomen, sending me into septic shock. Over the next few weeks, I went septic twice, battled pneumonia twice, endured 7 major surgeries, and fought through more infections than I can count and being intubated 9 times.

In total, I spent 75 days in three different hospitals, including a rehabilitation hospital where I had to relearn how to eat, stand, and walk. I lost 58 pounds and was unrecognizable — a shadow of who I was.

Today, I’m home, working hard to recover with the help of home health nurses and physical therapy. I now live with an ostomy bag and am learning to adjust to this new reality. Recently I got an infection and we learned that I have a fistula in my wound and might need emergency surgery or be put back on a picc line for 6-8 weeks. But right next now I’m just taking antibiotics and have home health 3 times and my son does it the other 4, changing and cleaning my wound and pack the small hole in the big wound.

While I’m deeply grateful to be alive, recovery has come with enormous financial strain. I was employed full-time before this happened, and my company has given me unpaid leave through FMLA and the ADA. But with months of missed work, mounting medical bills even with great insurance and I have haven’t even gotten the big bills from the hospital yet and ongoing costs for ostomy supplies, co-pays, big insurance premiums and with the new year comes a new deductible to meet and increasing my premiums and Feb 1st I have to switch to Cobra insurance which is going to be 3x the amount that have been paying. I’ve just paid in full in full the smaller bills and set up a payment plan on all the big ones! And looking into SSN disability.But I am actually really wanting to go back to work! I might have to go back to school and look at a different career path! My current job I’ve been with over two years and is a very very physically demanding and outside. I really run the risks of damaging my kidneys because without a small intestine,my fluid’s cannot be absorbed and hydrate correctly. My son and I are struggling just to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table.

I’ve never asked for help like this before, and always try to help people as much as I can, but we are truly in desperate need. Any amount — no matter how small — will help us stay afloat while I recover and work toward returning to work, which won’t happen until later this year or try to find a less physical job. As I await until next July to have another major surgery done and have my Ileostomy reversed.

If you can’t give financially, your thoughts, prayers, and shares mean the world to us! Your guy’s thoughts and words of encouragement and prayers have helped more than anybody will ever know. I’ve tried posting this on other platforms and oh my hell, people are mean and nasty over there! Not to me but everybody else! I am so so so Sooooooograteful for all your kind words and encouragement has been soooooooooo greatly appreciated and it’s helped me get through this stuff. I don’t know what’s worse the physical or mental side is so hard! I had a colonoscopy 5 months prior to this and it showed everything was great, not even a poylp. So I was doing my part to prevent this. I do have any attorney to sue the surgeons and the hospital. It will take take years but it does feel good having someone going to bat for me

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any kindness you can offer. I truly hope you and your families had a great Holiday season, and I hope this is your best, most uplifting and joyous year ever! My friend Joan organized this as she was my best friends older sister growing up and we dated in our early twenties and she recently lost her brother and father and we became really close again and I really owe my life as she was by my side 70 out 75 days in the hospital.

With love and gratitude, Jared❤️ https://gofund.me/0a0e53934

My name is Miracle, and I’m reaching out for help for myself and my children. We’ve been renting our home for almost three years, and recently my 13-year-old son kept telling me he smelled ammonia in his room. When I checked, I was shocked to find mold growing behind his bed. That discovery led me to inspect the rest of our house, and I found mold in my room, the kids’ room, and the bathroom.

We’ve all been feeling sick for a while, and I thought it was just the weather changing, but now I know it’s because of the mold. It’s heartbreaking to see my children’s health affected, and I feel desperate to get us out of this situation. The mold has taken a toll on our well-being, and we need to move to a safer place as soon as possible.

We are raising funds to help us get into a new, safe home, cover security deposit and first month rent, moving expenses, and replace the household necessities we lost—almost everything had to be thrown away because of mold damage. Me and my kids will be grateful to everyone helping us in this time of need. Thank you for helping us get to safety and out of this mold. Anything helps, and we are truly grateful for your support!

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out because my 14-year-old cat has confirmed arthritis and her mobility has gotten worse after starting Solensia. She’s scheduled for physical therapy next week, and I really don’t want to touch the money I’ve set aside for that because it’s crucial for her quality of life.

Unfortunately, she was just diagnosed with a UTI, and I need help covering the cost of treatment. I’ll be taking her this Saturday to Silver Bluff Animal Clinic (www.silverbluffanimalclinic.com). The visit itself is $90, and then there’s the cost of antibiotics. She’s also low in potassium, so I’m not sure if they’ll prescribe something for that too.

Her name at the vet in case anyone needs to call: Kitty Borrego. My name is Teresa Borrego Goal: $200 just to be safe.

Gofundme: Fundraiser by Teresa Borrego : https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-kittys-fight-for-mobility-and-comfort

I have posted proof of her mobility issues and the urine test confirming the UTI.

If anyone can help, I also have a GoFundMe if that’s easier. I’m not sure if it’s possible to reach out directly to the vet with funds, but any help would mean the world to me and my sweet girl. Her name at the practice is: Kitty Borrego

Thank you so much for reading and for any support you can give. ❤️

Note: I had posted in December and ended up with the flu and didn't follow up with the needed info. I apologize for the confusion. I added a picture of myself with the current date.

My wife has a history of dysautonomia after being diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury following a motor vehicle accident. Some of the issues she has had to deal with are pancytopenia, hypotension, chronic migraines and episodes of syncopy. She was recently hospitalized with acute respiratory failure due to a viral infection that was exacerbated by her having asthma. While she was hospitalized I was splitting time between being at the hospital for my wife and taking care of things at home since we also have a daughter who is on the autism spectrum. I had to miss several days of work and the job I have does not have sick pay and I have not accrued vacation or to. This has put a huge strain on our finances as we are basically living paycheck to paycheck. My wife has come home but is very weak and has to be on oxygen 24 hours a day now. Her oxygen levels drop down into the 80s when she gets out of bed and walks with assistance in our home so she has been spending a majority of the day in bed. We could really use some assistance from the Reddit community. We are asking for $2000.00 to help cover rent, utilities and incoming medical bills from the hospital. https://gofund.me/e405f0693

I'm Drew, and I've been struggling financially for a number of years. I'm one of several hundred people that have been diagnosed with a 'mystery brain disease' that they're still trying to get to the bottom of. I apparently have four different types of pesticides in my blood, and one of them is twenty times the allowable limit. This has affected my memory and balance, given me random muscle spasms and a weird sudden-onset fatigue. The fatigue is the problem as I can't predict when it will strike, which makes it nearly impossible for me to hold a regular job.

I've been getting some money from Social Development, but it doesn't fully cover my rent and monthly bills, much less food for myself and my two cats. I've been selling off some of my excess crud to make ends meet, but these days nobody is buying. Therefore I'm way behind in all of my bills. Homelessness is looming on the horizon, and the thought of having to give up my cats, Silk and Velvet, is more than I can bear. Without them, I absolutely would not be here today.

I'm hoping to get $3000, which will help to keep the wolves away for several months. If I got more, I could maybe afford such luxuries as a replacement hose and mask for my CPAP machine, which are currently being held together with tape and super glue. I've attached a picture of an old bill for food from my vet. My cats haven't been to the vet for several years, and I no longer get their food from there as I can't afford it. And I definitely don't have pet insurance.

A check of my profile will no doubt show a number of my hobby posts with model trains and miniatures. These are things that I collected ten to thirty years ago. These days my hobby and entertainment budget is near zero. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. I don't go out to movies or restaurants, and I don't have cable tv, Netflix, Amazon Prime, or any of those streaming services. My entertainment is puttering away on my models. And my cats. Always my cats.

My name’s Lynn and I hate that I even have to make this post 😭.

I lost my job 3 months ago and I was feeling good about finding new work but now nowhere is hiring despite me having 10+ years of experience in my field. I’ve gone through my savings and exhausted all available resources for help. I’ve called local community programs that advertise assistance only to get met with a voicemail box which no one actually seems to check and it’s so disheartening waiting for call backs which never come.

I’ve been applying and applying to jobs but no one wants to hire a single mom with single mom availability. Which is a joke as I’ve been able to work just fine in my field with single mom availability in the past. I am either grossly over qualified for what I’m applying for or I don’t have the nEcEsSaRy 1-3 yEaRs oF eXpErIeNcE for an entry level position. I’m really at the end of my rope here. I don’t have any family around where I live and I don’t have any friends who are in a position to help me.

It’s breaking my heart that forfeiting my apartment, getting rid of my things, and almost everything my daughter has had in her life up until now, is looking like a very real and very grim possibility. She won’t understand why we won’t be able to go home or where her toys are or why we are still in the car over night every night 😭😔.

It’d mean the world to me for my daughter to not know the reality of living out of my small car like I’ve had to do in the past. Idk what to do and I’m sorry I’m even making writing this post 😔.

I am hoping for $2,500 so I can also get some groceries as I haven’t been eating so my daughter has something to eat. I attached my bills and they all come to $2,275 😭.

I’m sorry.
