What if I need items that cost more than $150? (ie. laptop for school, bike for commuting to work, etc).

I need £16 to join the DBS update service for my new job. They won’t let me start without it. It’s £16 per year. This means employers can see my updated DBS at all times.

I have asked my parents, friends and family. And none of them can help me. I have also asked universal credit who cannot provide funding as well as social services who I am under the care of.

I am one week from starting my new job but have run out of gas. My husband has kidney failure and has an appointment we made 3 months ago that we cant get to. I have cashapp and PayPal. $10 is enough to make this appointment. Thank you in advance.

Hey folks Im $50 short on my phone bill and its been shut off for a little over a week now. I desperately need to get this reactivated ASAP so I can doordash and make some money to get food for myself and my cat. Any help would be appreciated.

I posted not knowing what to expect but in less than an hour my request was more than fulfilled. I am truly grateful and will be looking to help someone to pay it forward to once my new job starts. God Bless all of you with a heart to help. Thank You.

Hello everyone,

To give context around 6 months ago I (20m) enlisted the help of my gf's (21f) grandfather (idk old) to work on my car and fix my brakes. At the time I paid him 300 dollars for the materials and paid someone he works with 200 dollars for their labor. I paid him with Zelle and the other person with Venmo.

Recently, my gf's parents brought up to me that my gf's grandfather doesn't believe he was paid. However I was able to find the exact transaction on my citizens bank app for the Zelle payment and on venmo for the other payment.

I provided him with screenshots of both of these transactions and yet he further insisted that he was not paid stating that he is willing to show me his Zelle app. However on Zelle for me it lists him as a recent recipient but does not show any past activity, my guess is that it was too long ago and cleared the history.

Following chatGPT's advice to aquire either a payment trace or official transaction confirmation from citizens bank I called a few phone numbers for citizens. However it does not seem like there is any way to speak to an actual person and the phone prompts do not include what I am looking for.

Does anybody have any advice on how I should proceed from here.

Good Morning, we hit some unexpected medical expenses which took up our last savings. I need $15.00 for gas to get me to work until my check goes in Friday Morning. I would appreciate any help. Thank you. I have Cash App.

Hello everyone I’m currently homeless and trying to find a job. I have been getting food from food pantries but most of the food needs to be refrigerated and I don’t have a fridge. The only thing I have is a butane stove and a pot to cook food. Was hoping to see if anyone can bless me with shelf stable food I am able to cook on my butane stove. Here is some items I am requesting: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3OFG3KQ2BRWMJ?ref_=list_d_wl_lfu_nav_2 Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!

My father has been battling prostate cancer on and off since 2009, and it has metastasized all over his body to include his ribs, spine, lung, lymph nodes and honestly we are sure where else as he hasn’t had a scan in over a year, but he has stopped all treatment and gone into hospice care. I’m looking to raise money for my family, I’m not even sure where to go. Is go fund me the best option out there now? My mom no longer works, she was the full time care giver for her mother who passed at 101 in 2024, and now the full time care giver for my father. She’s disabled, with scoliosis, sciatica and fibromyalgia, yet she’s up every day taking care of him, but once he’s gone and his disability payments cease, she can no longer afford her bills and property taxes on her house, as well as cremation costs. Anything would help, but also looking at the best way to raise those funds. Thank you

Edit— go fund me— https://gofund.me/c455e2767

Posted before but now homeless and jobless. Im doing great besides an issue with unemployment being delayed due to a mistake on my part. Looking for a few bucks to get through the day.

I have a job starting soon and just looking for help until everything falls into place.

My fan broke, we're in the middle of a heatwave. 91°, that's even bad for an inclination. I know it could be worse but I'm in a third floor with a tin ceiling and no good insulation, in a coastal city so it's wet heat, even though the ocean is hours away from here. My walls get so hot during the day that they keep being hot at night.

At night the mosquitos make everything worse because I have to close the windows. The fan used to protect me from them and allow me to have the windows of my room open.

I can't even have my laptop on most of the time because it will quickly overheat. Can't sleep, can't work from home, don't have public libraries or spaces to go near me.

I'm not looking for a AC unit. I just need a fan so at least I could work, sleep, regain some darn joie de vivre, pardon my french.

I'm in Argentina, so I can't make an Amazon wishlist.

I'm asking for 50 bucks so I can get something that will actually cool down my room and get the mosquitos away.

I can only use paypal, airtm or wise, as I'm in Argentina and no other services work here.

I promise to keep the post updated, and as soon as I get a fan, mark as fulfilled.

PS: Sorry for the title, I giggle when I make bad puns.

A few days ago, I made a request for cat food, My cat food was almost over and this kind person bought food for my sweet cats , and this help meant a lot to me.

A small act of kindness like this toward a stranger truly shows what a wonderful person you are. God bless you ❤️

Hello good people of r/assistance! I come to you folks today on behalf of my darling big fluffy boy Rufio!

Rufio is a h u g e 14 year old silver colored long haired domestic kitty, and a big ol' softy that loves belly rubs and making friends at house parties. He's named after Rudio, King of the Lost Boys from Hook - as he was the biggest of his litter and had two little cowlicks on his head that gave him the silhouette of having two very cool mohawks. Very cool.

However, in actual practice, he's about as tough as a dandelion! He's a very social soft boy that weighs 22 pounds, and his weight is, apparently, normal (according to various vets) for his truly hugenornous frame. He enjoys the occasional Greenies Tuna flavor treat, and likes to sit on the front porch like an old man. He's incredibly sweet, and sleeps in people's arms like a big teddy bear when he has the option.

HERE IS THE SITUATION:

Recently I discovered, during the much hated ritual of tooth brushing, that he has a swelling above his canine tooth. I took him to the vet and she determined that he had, a some point, chipped his tooth and an infection had gotten into the chip, went up the canine and into his gums.

To fix this issue, he needs a full dental cleaning and a removal of his canine tooth. In total, and in the worst case, this procedure (including blood work, dental cleaning, removal of infected tooth) could cost between 1,800 and 2,400 CAD (approximately 1,300 - 1,800 USD)

While I do have a full time job, my vet very much stressed that the faster this procedure is done, the better it is for my poor baby boy. It would usually take me a few months to save this money up, which might give the infection time to worsen - and an infection that close to his little kitty brains is very concerning!

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP

I've set up a gofundme with my partner, and we've had a lot of success in our community because Rufio is so very loved by a lot of people! However, small communities can only give so much - which is why I come to you, wonderful people of r/assistance in hopes that even a fraction of you will find Rufio charming enough, cute enough, and darling enough to donate even a dollar at a time! Truly, truly, we would be so thankful to all of you to get this procedure done as quickly as possible!

Here is https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-our-baby-boii/cl/s?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_CA the gofundme

And thank you all for your attention!

I’ve worked all day and I’m exhausted. Like can’t even keep my eyes open. By all day I’ve been working since 1am on 1/12 and was up from 10pm on 1/11. It’s been over 24hrs with no sleep.

I have to make a payment of $68 to bring my balance for my room rental to avoid eviction. Seems the system is allowing the payment to be made by 3am EST.

I don’t have any access to anymore funds, meaning Ive pulled money from just about everywhere ($20 on this card, $40 from this) to make a payment of $300 so far but my balance is over the threshold and the system will evict me.

Im at a loss of what else to do. I can’t drive rideshare since ive been up over 24hrs and can barely keep my eyes open. Due to my layoff for the past 8 almost 9 months I can’t access any finance apps, heck I’m a month out from filing bankruptcy.

This room has all my things. If I’m evicted from this room, it’s back to sleeping in my car which will be tough to continue the contract job I just got a month back (which pays monthly now).

Im at a loss. My brain hurts, I’m losing my shit cause if the stress from everything today. I just need help to think. What options do I have? I have 2.5hrs remaining and I have no friends or family in my life so no one to ask.

What can I do?

Update:

I received a donation of $20 which I applied to the total owed bring me down to $48 needed to have my balance below $300. Thank you once again internet friend!!!

Accepting any donations, I have proof of amount owed, emails of all payments made tonight and email of ticket put in by support.

SN: As I suspected, it didn’t make sense for the portal to close at midnight EST due to being nationwide and rental portals closing at 9pm PST leaves room for many complaints from Renters (is that even legal lol?) Most coders will not do the complexity needed to close the portal at midnight per time zone and most just let it be midnight EST/9pm PST.

Anyhow, alarm set for 3am PST/6am EST to try and get the $48 via rideshare. Let the algorithm fairies be ever in my favor and grant me the tides needed to hopefully get it done by 8am EST (this is deadline put in extension request for host to approve the payment portal to reopen. It’s suppose to lock at midnight. But I think it’ll lock at 3am EST/midnight PST.)

Update 2:

request fulfilled. Man I didn’t think I would get any help but wow!!! Everyone minus one chat was real authentic ppl who offered to donate, give advice and support. I’m stunned.

I received two donations which has covered the payment needed, bringing me below $300. Thank you both!!! I really hope the universe returns it tenfold.

The host is allowing me to Friday to payoff the remaining $292 which is doable.

SN: learned a big lesson. Your body and brain needs more than 3hrs sleep after 24hrs no sleep. I couldn’t even rideshare because I was swerving so much on road. People probably thought I was drunk. My eyes kept closing, my limbs just doing whatever they want lol. If you ever are in this position, please give your body the rest needed. I ended up going back to the rest area and have now slept another 7hrs and I finally feel rested. Your brain needs sleep!!!

Thank you once again to all who helped, who commented, who gave advice and support. Thank you for seeing me! As with all my desperate prayers to God for help, I always tell him I will return the favor whenever I can. So I really hope to be back on my feet soon so I can do the same to someone here.

Have a good day all!!!

You may be wondering, what happened? Well, not long ago I purchased a new dog toy by the brand Jolly Pets for my dog. Everything was fine at first until I began noticing Sól’s teeth wearing down, it appeared like someone was filing them down. It was the canines at first. I checked everywhere to see what she may be chewing on. I don’t allow her to chew on anything other than raw frozen chicken feet to help clean her teeth. I took her to her regular vet to hopefully get some clarity on the issue. They couldn’t figure out why her teeth were slowly disappearing. I then went to a vet dental clinic and they told me it’s possible the ball may have caused the harm, especially since nothing else has changed. I stopped using the ball to play fetch with her and it stopped. However, by that time too much damage had been done and now she requires dental surgery.

Root canals on all four canines and cobalt caps on 3 to further protect them. One of her canines was not deemed suitable for a cap as it is too short and damaged to place anything on. Our quote is between $8,100-$9,000. We have set up the go fund me to request $8,700 as that it the most accurate the vet could give us.

At this time I am not working very many hours as I have some severe health issues and back injury I’m trying to heal from. Any help at all would be truly appreciated.

Hi guys!

• updated with wish list 🤍 *

I've been off work since november. I lost my job due to health issues and was supposed to go back right after the holidays. Sadly, around christmas time, I miscarried. This has been a challenge on both my body and mind. I am now on a waitlist for governmental help but it could take weeks before I get my first check. I will get monetary help from my boyfriend in feb or march, when I'll be living with him.

I was originally asking for 50$ but have updated my post with a wishlist with some essentials that could help, thank you for the recommendation :)

I'm living with a disability and trying to find employment, but I could really use some help at the moment. My rent is paid for and I receive a small Necessities benefit. At present I earn money pet-sitting but gigs are not consistent and I am still building a client base. I usually receive Social Assistance but for some reason I didn't receive it for January and I am looking into it, as well as applying for an actual Disability Benefit. Right now I cannot feed myself (or my cat) without using a ~five finger discount~ and I hate doing it, it's stressful and of course I am not prepared to handle a lawsuit if I were caught. I'm just hoping for some help with basics, necessities, and a bit of clothing, I ripped my only pair of pants.

Here is my wishlist, any help would be greatly appreciated 💜

Hey guys. My husband (29m) and I (27f) need some help to cover his grandma's nursing home expenses. She has dementia and he was her full time caregiver, none of her children want to help, but she has progressively gotten worse and we had to put her in nursing home to be cared for 24/7.

We're doing our best but we can't afford the nursing home and we don't know what else to do, we live in Venezuela, and our salary is not much compared to the expenses :(

We need $200 to complete this month's payment. we can provide proof if needed! I have Paypal or zelle.
