r/Assistance

First of all, thank you so very much!!!

It says that pretty much all my food was ordered, and I can't track it (obviously). I'm staying in a hotel right now, and the deodorant from u/AceReverie just got here. That's all they dropped off. I don't want you to have just thrown your $ away, so does your side show anything? I'm sorry if you were wanting to stay anonymous. Feel free to DM me so it's just me who knows if that helps? I'm at a loss for what to do. I let the office here know to look out, any guidance would be amazing

So my teenager is newly-ish (as of october) disabled. This includes using a wheelchair, using arm crutches and using a walker depending on how he is feeling. Medical devices have been expensive and the wheelchair insurance had covered was broken, they didn't want to send a new one out.

On top of all this, he has multiple appointments every week, from regular therapy, to physical therapy to appointments with a pain rehab specialist. We live in southern California where gas is sitting at close to $6 a gallon. All the medical expenses, as well as all the gas out put has really put me in a bad spot.

I am currently looking for a job, or 2 part time but right now I just help friends where I can for money. Right now I don't have anything incoming for another 10 days. I don't have the option to do deliveries as I do not have a car, or I would be doing that all day. I drive my moms for appointments, but I have to pay to replace the gas which is fully understandable. I am almost out of gas and he has appointments almost every day next week. I feel bad asking for so much but I am looking for $75-100 to get us through for gas until I get some more money in my hands. It costs about 75 for a full tank, which lasts us anywhere from a week to 10 days.

So I am suffering from renal failure and I need a transplant I haven't gone on dialysis yet but it's only a matter of time until I do and although I've gathered some years on the waitlist it's likely I'll die on the transplant list if I can't get a donor. I just need one person to donate and you can dm me if you are interested. I live in the USA and I've never had a transplant before.

You can't have

- a heart or lung disease

-diabetes

-cancer

-high blood pressure

-some medications(not sure about the specific ones)

You would also have to do some testing to see if you qualify. My numbers are already low so it's possible I might not be able to avoid dialysis regardless but if anyone would be willing to donate I could have a guaranteed chance to live longer.

Key Aspects of Lasagna Love:

Once you register, You will be paired up with a volunteer from your area this could take a few weeks to get a response due to high demand. A volunteer will contact you by email, phone or by text and set up a day and time to deliver your 100% FREE hot Lasagna to your home. Please make sure your home on delivery day that you agreed thanks.

I personally tried their service and always had a good response. Volunteers were very friendly, helpful, I'm disabled and they helped me set it up in the kitchen. For an individual you receive 1/2 Full pan of hot lasagna (not spicy) that will last one person an easy 4 days. or cut them in squares put them in freezer bags and cook them again when your in the mood for a lasagna craving. Which is addictive, lol. I was very grateful when they helped me as my fridge was literally almost empty. What a blessing this organization did for me and its volunteers as well.

I'm struggling to gather $6,000 to cover medical bills, food, and rent. I'm desperately seeking a little kindness and support during this difficult time.

Got an interview lined up and need money to get a ride. If anyone could spare 30 or less I would really appreciate it

After almost 3 years of applying I finally have a job!! 😊 I start next week but the small issue is that I need help with my phone/WiFi to be able to work from our current residence. I had the funds to pay it but I had to get to and from the interview and travel downtown where I live is not cheap at all.

I need $106. The plan is to get rid of this service as soon as I'm able to now that I have a place for employment. If there are people who can help me. I would really appreciate it!!

Thank you to this wonderful group who have been here to help

Hello, so I just got off work and came home to find my cat (a stray I've been feeding and let in my home for about 6 months now) well she's all lethargic and is just laying on her bed for the last 5 hours... I need to bring her to the vet I feel instead of laying here in pain, I think she's dying. I'm not sure if her age, I just know she was a TNR cat because her ear is clipped and she has a scar on her belly. I took her in cuz she's kinda blind and hard of hearing, I just wanted her to be safe. The nextdoor neighbor was feeding her for the last few years but back in November he moved out so I took over and brought her into my home. I am just so broke at the moment because I don't get paid till Monday and I have no one to ask for help. I don't know what to do, last year my cat of 15 years crossed the bridge. I just have became attached to KeyKey and I know she needs to go in, I just want to do it right Thanks for reading and thanks if you can help us at all. I was trying to add a pic on here but it won't allow it.

Hello everyone I don’t know what to say except my husband and I are in dire need of help. We have just moved halfway across the country in our car and are struggling after I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that has left me unable to work a normal job. He is our sole source of income and we share a car. We have been able to pay month to month on the car but now they are wanting us to pay our over due balance but we don’t have it. We are at risk of losing our only source of transportation and my husband needs that car to get to work which is 40 minutes away. I can send proof to anyone who might be able to help us with paying off the overdue balance which right now sits at 900$

I have Venmo, PayPal, Cashapp, Apple Pay, and Zelle. I’ve tried to have the car company defer the balance to the end of the contract but they said we don’t qualify since we have not made enough consistent payments.

Thank you u/AceReverie! My roommate thanks you too😉

Seriously the most necessary thing I asked for just arrived. You're the best!

not so much asking for emotional support. I've accepted my faults in life and my ex broke me mentally and physically.. when someone goes through something like that, you learn to understand things... shift in someone's attitude, quick movements, hand placements, word choosing, sudden loud noises, etc...

the point of me writing this, is for anyone going through or has gone through a hellish relationship that broke you down to your absolute lowest point, and it feels like you're still rebuilding after 3, 5, 10+ years... that you're not alone. j want to share what I've learned about myself, with what I was able to heal and adjust to.

before my ex, I'd never been in an abusive relationship. other than arguments here and there of course, but never hands on, screaming, crying, police involved etc. the first time it happened, was because she moved her friend in with us without asking. I had no real objection, but she brought her cat which proceeded to mark every corner of the house. I had no intention of provoking her, so I quickly apologized, accepted my fate and cooked dinner and the rest of my chores. letting it drift to the back of my mind.

random yelling towards me became a daily occurrence, from waking up at 3am for work, to the newest iPhone as a "ILY" gift was the wrong color which resulted in her throwing the cat at me.. (I love animals and made sure the cat was always healthy and safe).

◇

the point im trying to make from what happened above, its always easy to admit fault to move on, but its rare for someone to take fault for something they actually did. dont give in due to false blame and yelling which makes you feel guilty.

document anything that has been damaged or broken by your partner that caused the damage. ill explain why later

I was a welder and grabbed a job 2 hours away (one way) that was scheduled for 15hr days @ 6 days a week. I was ecstatic, knowing this would refill my savings since work had been slow. the first night after work while I was asleep, she went through my phone and grabbed the phone numbers for the front office and my foreman. it took two days for them to fire me due to my ex calling them, demanding I have shorter hours so I could be home more incase she needed me.... I was livid but just pushed it down deep like I had been.

as a result, I couldn't afford the house and it was lost. I managed to find a double wide trailer in a shady looking trailer park to rent, but it was better than sleeping in the truck. as I pulled up with the u haul, she flipped out demanding to explain how she is going to explain where she's living to her mother. I suggested her mom not visit, but that I see now was wrong of me.

at this stage of the relationship I'd given up. the only reason the worst didn't occur was because she would hide my truck keys wallet and phone when home. "no need to leave the house when everything you need is here" ... Id defaulted to accepting guilt for anything. constantly apologizing and feeling horrible for whatever happened that caused me to apology. not because I felt bad but because id been trained at this point to de-escalate any occurrence ASAP to reduce any possible injuries. at this point I've had several stitches and stress headaches so painful they'd cause me to black out.

shortly after moving into the trailer, I snapped inside. not mentally, but in a way when I told myself that im tired of it and wanted out. I think what caused me to start thinking like that was that I didn't have money for ruby Tuesdays and she went off on me calling me useless and such and threatened to leave.

☆☆☆never threaten to leave unless you're willing to☆☆☆

•

☆☆☆if she/he threatens to leave, let them. if they're willing to leave you once, they'll do it again☆☆☆

to this day, I will instinctively apologize if something happens around me. if not acknowledged, I feel horrible, as if i was a kid again and got caught doing something i wasnt supposed to.

a good friend of mine lived 2 streets over thankfully. when she began the screaming and throwing stuff, drinking glasses shattering against the wall, my "zbox" controller at the ceiling fan, ricocheting off the wall and hitting me. I grabbed my bookbag, grabbed my cell and a few small things like my wallet and grabbed the landline hand-held, and called 911. she began screeching like she was on fire. I was desperately trying to control my breathing while telling the operator my location and I need help, when the phone line went quiet. I had stepped outside the trailer in a attempt to hear the operator, but now it was scary quiet. I open the front door with the phone still in my hand and my bookbag on my shoulder. I open the door to see she had self harmed herself with a kitchen item and had cut the phone cord. I grabbed my phone and took a photo off her and the phone base where you could see her hand print from grabbing the wire to cut it with her other hand using the kitchen tool she'd used.

I dropped the phone and headed to my friends house. when I got there I quickly explained what had happened and without a second thought, he welcomed me in and to help however he could... hearing those words after everything id been going through, those words broke me, I cried like a newborn. an hour later the police show up. due to the 911 call being interrupted, then went to investigate and when they arrived to the trailer, my ex was making such a huge scene that they couldn't get her to say what happened... (she also didnt know which house was my friends) ..which according to her, "i attacked her with the handheld phone and shoved her" .. thankfully they knew this was idiotic and explained she was packing her things to leave and her mom and sister would be over to help her.

short version of the end, they came and left all of her things but took everything of mine. the TV, clothes, work clothes. pc, "Zbox", laptop, food, anything I personally would have used in a daily basis.

the point of this part was to understand you're never alone. even if its a friend you had a rough past with, when you're in dire need of help, youd be surprised who will help.

if your spouse takes/steals any of your items document it, find a receipt or something showing you're the one that purchased the item and notify the police. given the situation I was in, there wasn't much I could do, but thats for another long post. and if you read up to this point thank you.

Hello again I'm from Chile and I've posted here before so I'll start by thanking those who helped me the first time but no matter how hard my mother and I try to find jobs or get her business off the ground (we only make keychains and bookmarks now), it's not as profitable as we thought and we don't know how we're going to pay the rent. We're drowning in debt and don't see a way out or how we can come up with $300 by Monday (March and April rent) is there anyone who can lend a hand?

I have been taken out of work and placed on bed rest due to pregnancy complications (large submucosal fibroid growing through the side of my uterus, severe anemia). My baby is due in June, and I had planned on being able to work until then, so now I am scrambling to make ends meet while I wait on my short-term disability claim to be processed.

My brother is going to loan me some money Monday so that I can get some groceries. I would greatly appreciate it if someone is willing to buy me a pizza to last me through the weekend. A gift card for Papa John's or Little Caesar's would work, or I have cashapp, venmo, and paypal.$25 would be enough for the pizza and delivery.

I recently got an apartment after being homeless for a bit, I have exhausted all my funds per moving in and really could use help paying towards the rent/other deposits. I work at job currently with low hours but hoping to start another within the week to allow for more flexibility. I can DM info for the site for my rent so no money has to be exchanged essentially. Can also do a small Walmart order for food to mitigate costs there. thanks very much for reading

Just like the title. If I can’t make it to work this next week I’ll basically have no job. I’m trying to get better with my finances and this is part of my journey.

Hi I am a student 20years old who needs help

In the last 3 years of my studies I have made about 1000 and more flash cards on my Anki but now I want to switch from my Anki to quizlet. However it’s just not possible to re type them because of the time and I have a busy schedule with lots of assignments.

If anyone is open to help me in retyping them in free time , I appreciate.
