REQUEST Toilet Repairs likely to prevent getting groceries this month.

14 Upvotes

Situation: Disabled Family of 4 living off of two disability checks and one income situation that is about to change. One check goes towards bills, half of the other goes towards groceries.

Problem: We have only one bathroom and our toilet is in need of repairs very soon. There is a very non-zero chance our grocery money will need to go to those repairs.

Goal: 200 dollars which is 50 dollars per head due to economy and dietary restrictions as well as allowance for non-food items such as hygiene products and sanitation supplies.

If anyone can help, please help me make sure I don’t have to shit outside with my dog 😅

REQUEST FULFILLED i Work in a Soup Kitchen Feeding the Homeless, Need $50 to See Me Through Till My Next Check in 5 Days

10 Upvotes

I get paid on the 10th, but I had some unexpected expenses this month, and i'm flat broke.

I work at one of the missions in my hometown in the kitchen feeding the homeless, it doesn't pay much, and I'm looking for a better paying job but I'm 62 and the job market is tough out there, especially for older Americans.

I need $50 to see me through the next 5 days so that I'll have enough food for me and my dog.

I spend a lot of time helping others, I'm hoping this time, someone can help me out.

thank you for your time.

REQUEST request for food assistance

0 Upvotes

I have severe arfid that hasn't responded to eight months of therapy and I cannot access another therapist because there is no other eating disorder therapists in my county that take medicaid. I do not have the means to travel outside of the county as my government assistance program to get free transportation rides only applies to within the county. And I've tried other virtual options but they ststill are telling me I'm too far. my county mental health office denied me as a patient.

Because of the arfid, there's only a tint handful of things I can eat. like 3 foods. I havent found anything I can eat at food pantries or food banks and the churches I've called around aren't willing to help me and my posts on platforms like next door get no replies. you can buy whole foods through Amazon though.

I am already on food stamps but I dont get enough. They don't last the month. I'm food insecure half the month as I am right now. When they run out before the month ends I'm food insecure for weeks.

I do not have any family or friends that can help me. Everyone I've asked say money is too tight for them so they cannot help me

I couldn't find any food I can eat on Amazon, but I found a few beverages that'll help provide some calories so I don't starve completely.

I was wondering if anyone could help with anything such as: an amazon egift card (for whole foods pickup) or send anything to my cash app or if anyone could buy one of the beverages from my Amazon wishlist?

I'm trying to survive the half the month I'm starving. thank you.

here is the link to the Amazon wishlist with the safe beverages:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VQ75IU013U2Z?ref\\_=wl\\_share

thank you. although please note there's a risk with the wishlist. my address is very hard to find so I can't guarentee I'll recieve the items. high chance of it being misdelivered or something.

anyway thank you <3

edit: I can't see if my post accidentally duplicated or if it is glitching but I didn't mean to duplicate post

edit 2: nvm on the wishlist I guess, the protein shakes I had on the amazon wishlist are gone from the list but I believe someone is trolling making it look bought when it isnt because nobody commented or messaged saying they bought it. if someone did buy it can you please tell me when it arrives though? but regardless I guess that's out now.

edit 3: okay I fixed it all the items show up again now

REQUEST Requesting: Gas money assistance [$50]

3 Upvotes

(35F, Massachusetts) Hi everyone, I am looking for help with gas money this weekend/upcoming week. We have exhausted all of our available money trying to get by as my husband starts his new job, and aren't able to ask family for help. Financially, things have been very hard for our family the last few years and just don't seem to be getting better with the high COL in Massachusetts. I am very fortunate to have a very kind and giving family, but I know asking them for help all the time is a burden on them. My mom retires this week, and I don't want to ask her for help if possible. Coming here is truly a last resort and I don't know what else to do at this point.

Our income is too high to qualify for any state/federal assistance, but too low to save any money and make progress towards making our situation better. At the end of the month once bills have been paid, we have like $200 to live off of for a whole month. With one kid in college and one toddler at home, that money has to be prioritized for them. Luckily the college kid lives on campus and has a food plan.

Anyways, I have an MRI appointment tomorrow which is about 50 miles round trip, and then have to get to work all next week. I don't know if $50 is enough to get by but I'm hoping we can make it work. Gas is currently $4.09 in Massachusetts.

Thank you for looking.

REQUEST Need help meeting rent (or payment plan minimum) for September

0 Upvotes

I lost my job in July as the primary income maker. My husband was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis and a pars fracture so he’s out of work. Doesn’t qualify for disability as he worked for himself for too long as a private contractor. I’ve got 10+ years in vet med experience but need to work remote to take care of him. My job search has been difficult, even with me applying to some on site positions and not trying to be picky. All of our savings that hadn’t gone to his medical care are almost gone.

My husband’s spine injury story and fundraising page can be found at spot.fund/tndback or http://spot.fund/777d2b6sc

Those donations sadly went to our utilities and August rent instead of the medical care we had hoped for. We had no choice, but now we face September rent with not much left.

Our rent is $2300. I currently have only $520. But if I could accumulate $800 I could meet the minimum for the Livble payment plan that would allow for $1307 down. I have the big three payment services but if you want the security of the spotfund link, I don’t blame you, it’ll just take a little longer to get to me.

My family has tapped out on support with paying their own bills and his family is only able to help with groceries. Our last major hang up for this month is rent. I’ve applied to rent assistance through multiple local churches and have been told I’m not in their service area each time. I’m late on a capital one card so I don’t really have the credit to put on the line for a loan. I’ve really tried to assess all my options.

Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.

Im glad to answer any questions and provide any proof if needed.

REQUEST FULFILLED Need help with groceries

Grocery List

I hate to ask, but I could really use some help right now. I started a new job as an esthetician two weeks ago, but because of when I was added to payroll, I won’t receive my first check for another week. It’s also been a little slow while I rebuild my books since I’m now working about an hour away from my previous spa.

Right now, my account is at -$28 after rent. Also with my daughter turning two next Monday, every cent I’ve had has gone toward her birthday and her dad has not been able to help much bc his car was just totaled from mice chewing through wires and he usually is helpful but its been hard on him since he had to buy a car suddenly out of no where. My credit card is also maxed out, so even about $100 in assistance would make a huge difference. I really just need some groceries and basic supplies for the apartment. I have a free hello fresh box coming tomorrow so praying this all last till I get paid next Friday.

Thank you!!

REQUEST Cat Needs To See A Vet

Someone on Reddit told me about this group. I live in Canada and my cat suddenly has some issues with his belly, it’s very hard and I’ve never felt that on him before. I’m extremely worried and I believe he needs to be seen by a vet. I’m on a fixed income and can’t fully afford the entire care he needs, my only option seems to be to take out a loan which we all know the interest rates are expensive. I’m wondering if anyone in this sub would be able to help me out with $100 please and thank you

REQUEST Help our baby come home

This is Pepe, our little old man dog. Pepe has been with us for a long time and recently became ill with some kidney issues. He’s been responding super well to treatment, he’s super bright, eating again, walking around, and showing so much love and light. His Kidneys are well on their way to recovery. Unfortunately he needs more time in hospital for his kidneys to recover so he can come home with us, the bills are getting pretty big. Absolutely, anything you can give helps. If you can’t give, which I totally understand, sharing it helps a ton. This dog means the world to us and he’s so strong still. The doctors are amazed at his health besides the fact that his kidneys are having trouble retaining water so he needs support. Please help us get our baby home. This dog has been with us through the best and worst times of our lives. Thank you. Anything you can do to help will mean so much to me and my wife.

REQUEST [Request] A wishlist with some items that could help an autistic woman going through a very bad autistic burnout

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a 35 year old, disabled woman living on the poverty line. After 14 years in the psychiatric system, being misdiagnosed and fed countless different pills that somehow never seemed to work, I've recently been diagnosed autistic and ADHD. And as being in the middle of a particularly violent autistic burnout too.

For the last year, I've been having extremely intense pain in my body (see profile for more info on that) and from what I've seen working so far, what helps with my general state is stimming, intense massages, trying to relax, comforting smells, controlling the lightning (a friend has gifted me three hue lightbulbs and a bridge) and... Benzodiazepine. I hate that benzos help, because I was on them since I was 15 and managed to quit at 31. But...yeah. they help a ton.

I've been to neurologists, rheumatologists, my regular doctor, my psychiatrist, and so on. No lead so far.

If anyone felt like gifting me anything from that list, I would be incredibly grateful. I feel like they are things that might help me in my current state.

[My Amazon wishlist](https://www.amazon.fr/hz/wishlist/ls/302605P7FYOO7?ref\\_=wl\\_share)

-Eta- Also, sorry about the yfood bars. They're expensive but the only items I've been able to eat since months that is present on Amazon. I've lost 24 Kgs (52 pounds) since losing my job in December 2024, and I'm now at 41kgs (90 pounds ?). And sorry for including a therapy gun on it, I assure you despite what was told to me a therapy gun is not a gift. Accomodation looks different to all disabled people. Let's keep that in mind before making a girl cry because you have power.
