r/FundRaise

My family is facing one of the hardest battles of our lives. A loved one has been diagnosed with a rare disease that is stealing away their strength day by day. The treatments and care they need are far beyond what we can afford, and without help, we cannot ease their pain or give them the chance they deserve.

I’ve created this GoFundMe to raise funds for medical care, daily support, and the hope of a better tomorrow. Every donation — no matter the size — brings us closer to relief and healing. If you cannot donate, please share our story so more people can see it.

Thank you for standing with us in this fight. Your kindness means more than words can say. 💙 https://gofund.me/9a79638eb

My younger brothers (15) cat got injured and needs a leg amputation I nor my family have the funds right now to afford the whole $900 amputation. I’m currently in school and both my parents work and can hardly afford to pay the bills let alone pay for this cat’s amputation. I’ve listed the go fund me if you feel inclined to contribute we would greatly appreciate it. I did contact or local humane society and the aspca in our state but neither of them could assist us. We are currently at $680 and the overall goal is $900. Every penny helps take financial stress off our family, but at this time we do have kit at the vet and will be using a credit card to pay the $220 and if we receive anymore donations it will go towards to paying that off. Thank you for taking the time to read our story!

Hallo, ich bin Noah, 26, aus Deutschland.

Normalerweise würde ich so etwas nicht posten, aber meine Familie braucht gerade dringend Hilfe.

Anfang des Jahres erlitt meine Mutter plötzlich eine schwere Hirnblutung. Es kam völlig unerwartet und veränderte alles von einem Tag auf den anderen.

Sie ist erst 50.

Seitdem ist nichts mehr wie vorher. Sie ist halbseitig gelähmt, kann nicht sprechen und ist auf künstliche Ernährung angewiesen. Nach monatelanger Intensivpflege konnte sie nicht nach Hause und lebt nun in einer spezialisierten Intensivstation.

Ihre Partnerin Susi ist in dieser schweren Zeit unglaublich stark und tut alles, um sich um sie zu kümmern und die Familie zusammenzuhalten. Aber der emotionale und finanzielle Druck ist einfach… erdrückend.

Ich teile ihre Worte unten, weil sie die Situation besser beschreibt, als ich es je könnte.

Hallo, mein Name ist Susi.

Anfang des Jahres erlitt meine Partnerin plötzlich eine schwere Hirnblutung – ein einschneidendes Erlebnis, das unser aller Leben völlig veränderte.

Sie ist erst 50 Jahre alt, und wir hatten so viele Zukunftspläne. Seitdem versuchen wir beide, stark zu bleiben und alles zu tun, um sie zu unterstützen und sicherzustellen, dass sie gut versorgt ist.

Jeden Tag werden wir mit der schmerzhaften Realität konfrontiert, eine einst fröhliche und lebenslustige Frau zu sehen, die nun halbseitig gelähmt ist, nicht sprechen kann und auf künstliche Ernährung angewiesen ist.

Nach drei Monaten auf der Intensivstation konnte sie leider nicht wie erhofft nach Hause zurückkehren. Stattdessen befindet sie sich nun in einer ambulanten Pflegeeinrichtung.

Die finanzielle Belastung ist enorm. Die Kosten für Medikamente, medizinische Hilfsmittel und die weitere Pflege übersteigen unsere Möglichkeiten.

Unser größter Wunsch ist es dennoch, sie eines Tages wieder nach Hause zu holen und gemeinsam ein neues Leben aufzubauen – auch wenn es nie wieder so sein wird wie früher.

Wir sind für jede Unterstützung, egal wie klein, zutiefst dankbar. Jeder Beitrag zählt.

Vielen Dank von ganzem Herzen für Ihre Freundlichkeit, Ihre Unterstützung und dafür, dass Sie uns helfen, für meine geliebte Kathi zu kämpfen. ❤️

Further explanation; While it's true that health insurance covers the purely medical part of intensive care (like ventilation or specialized medical treatment), that is unfortunately only half the story.
In an intensive care shared community (WG), there are massive additional costs that families have to pay entirely out of pocket.
This includes the care-related copayment, facility investment costs, as well as room and board (essentially rent for the room).
Currently, the average out-of-pocket cost in Germany is over €3,200 per month during the first year. For normal pensions or average earners, this is completely unaffordable and eats through life savings extremely fast. Only when personal assets are entirely depleted does the social welfare office step in via 'Hilfe zur Pflege' (assistance for care). Germany definitely doesn't cover everything-the financial burden on families is massive!

Help me Save my Father

Hello, my father who had already had two heart attacks a decade ago, collapsed again. The local hospital messed up his case and he ended up with paralysis in his right half of the body. As someone who had been a beloved teacher and an active and caring father and grandfather, it is heartbreaking to see him lying in bed helplessly. The hospital we rushed him to in the capital, Max, is amazing and helped a lot, however the bills have stacked up and we're struggling to keep up. I've borrowed from friends, while already being in a major debt because of a previous unavoidable situation which has yet to be paid off and there is a limit to how much they can help as everyone has life happening. I will attach the estimate the hospital gave. The money is in INR. He ended up staying for over two weeks, we had to bring him home for now because we couldn't afford to keep paying the hospital for now. He might need to be taken back depending on how his condition goes. For now, we still have to pay the borrowed money back. Please help me pay off the medical bills as on my own I cannot provide the care he so badly needs. I deeply and sincerely hope I can get some help here. My father's family has not even bothered to check up on him, much less help with any expenses. I'm a single mother, raising my daughter alone with my father being the father figure for her. She is devastated as she fears she'll lose the only father she has ever known. My society is not one to help out in time of need, we have just the Almighty and some friends to depend on now. Please share this with people who could help, any help at all is a big help right now. Even shares on social media story or post could help reach this to people who could potentially help.

Not sure why but some pictures are getting cut off..

I am in a very desperate situation right now, and I am running out of options to save my baby and bring him home. I am humbly knocking on your hearts as fellow animal lovers, hoping you might understand the lengths a pet parent will go to for their fur baby.
I am reaching out to ask for help for my 1-year-old male Persian cat, River, who is currently recovering from emergency Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) surgery due to a severe Urinary Tract Infection and urinary blockage. River has been fighting this condition since May 1, and even though I became hopeful when his initial ultrasound and urine cleared up, his condition suddenly worsened on the morning of May 13 when he began peeing small amounts with visible blood multiple times. The vet told me that surgery was his only chance to survive, so I had to make the choice on the spot to save him. He is currently confined under strict observation at Petelier clinic, which is the closest and most affordable option for me. Since he is still weak and has a poor appetite, the vet is extending his confinement until this coming Friday to ensure his surgical wound heals safely before discharge.
This journey has completely wiped me out financially; I am deeply overwhelmed because I already exhausted all of my personal savings during his first procedure, which only covered his initial catheterization. This emergency surgery is a whole new, separate debt. As of today, his updated running clinic bill is ₱31,931, though this is not yet final due to his extended stay. I am incredibly grateful to have already collected a total donation fund of ₱10,530, which leaves me with a strict remaining balance of ₱21,401 that must be fully settled by this Friday, on the day of his discharge, before the clinic will allow me to bring him home.
Honestly, it hurts my pride and I feel so much shame asking for help like this, but River is the only one I have left in my life and I cannot give up on him. I just don't want to reach a point where I regret that I didn't do everything I could to save him. I am humbly knocking on your hearts for his fund, but please know that I am not forcing anyone to donate. I completely understand how difficult times are for everyone right now, so I only ask from those who have the means to help. If you cannot help financially, a prayer, a kind word, or just sharing this post to boost it would already mean more than words can express. I am more than willing to send his updated running bills, medical documents, or photos and videos of him directly via DM for verification. Thank you so much for your kindness, compassion, and for understanding my desperation. Please keep River in your thoughts. 🐾🤍

I know I’ve posted here a few times in the last couple weeks, but I am posting again because this sub seems to help us a lot even with just shares/kind words and encouragement.

Lucy has been doing pretty good, she’s very energetic and upbeat. I’ve been taking her outside every day for some exploration time and she never wants to come back in now, lol.

She found a neighbors yard had a small hole in their fence and i swear no matter how many times I picked her up and redirected her, she stubbornly went right back to the hole because she needed to see and discover this new land with her own four paws 😅

She really is doing well with the cancer treatment as well, her bloodwork looks great, she’s gained a few ounces, and the mass itself feels significantly smaller from the last time my vet had a look/feel of it.

Really the reason I’m so sure about continuing treatment is the really good results we’ve had so far AND how darn happy she seems. My dad continuously tells me he’d never even know she was sick if I hadn’t told him already because she just acts so normal.

I wanna say a heartfelt thank you to everyone in this community who had kind things to say for me and Lucy, and every wonderful person who donated to help us. It really means the world to me, and I know she can’t say it, but I know it means the world to her too, if she could talk she’d wanna thank each and every one of you.

I am a mother from Gaza, 43 years old, carrying a heart full of pain that words can hardly describe. Every single day, I live holding onto a small hope that this suffering will one day end. I have four children. Before the war, we lived a simple but peaceful life filled with warmth, safety, and love. Our home was not luxurious, but it was full of laughter, comfort, and beautiful memories. My children were very ambitious and full of dreams. Each of them had hopes for a bright future, and despite the simplicity of our life, we were happy and grateful because we had peace. Then the war came… and with it came destruction that took everything from us. In one moment, our entire life changed. Our home, the place that carried all our memories and dreams, was destroyed. Schools and universities stopped, education disappeared, and years of hard work and hope were suddenly lost. We were forced to flee again and again from one place to another, carrying our fear, our children, and the little that remained of our broken lives. We experienced hunger in the cruelest way. We learned what it means for children to wait for hours just to get a piece of bread or clean water. We lived through nights of bombing, terror, and sleepless fear, never knowing if we would survive until morning. I saw fear in my children’s eyes every single day, and I tried to appear strong for them while my heart was breaking silently inside. We lost our home, our work, our stability, and the life we once knew. I became unable to provide even the most basic necessities for my children food, clean water, clothes, and medicine. The most painful feeling for me as a mother is not being able to protect my children or give them the life they deserve. That is why, with deep hesitation and heartbreak, I created a support link asking for help. I never imagined I would one day need to ask others for assistance, but the circumstances forced us into survival mode. Every single dollar donated is withdrawn immediately to provide food, water, and basic needs so my children and I can survive another day. For two long years, I have been asking for help and knocking on every door I can, carrying both shame and desperation in my heart. But I do this only for my children so they do not sleep hungry, and so they can still hold onto hope that life may become kinder one day. From the bottom of my heart, I am deeply grateful to every person who supported us, whether through a donation, sharing our story, or even a kind word and prayer. You cannot imagine how much your support means to us or how much strength it gives us to keep going despite everything. To everyone reading my story, I ask you kindly not to scroll past our pain. We are not asking for luxury or comfort — we are simply trying to survive, to live with dignity, safety, and peace like every other human being. After God, you are our only hope. 🤍 https://gofund.me/5c236f4d
