Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to this subreddit because my family recently had a house fire. Everyone made it out of the house safely and the house is not totally destroyed but the damages are still pretty substantial. We are setting aside our own funds for materials and services for the rebuild but made the gofundme to help with the cost of that and to help keep ourselves afloat during this time. We are a family of six, myself and my husband and our four kids. This is especially devastating because we recently moved into this house not even a year ago. Luckily my husband is a contractor and he is confident that he can do most of the repairs himself minus the electrical repairs that will need to be done. We have a great group of friends who are going to help us clean up all the mess and hopefully get started on rebuilding soon. We are currently staying with family and everyone is doing okay. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this!

The GoFundMe was made by my Husband Caleb and our total goal is 15000 but we do have milestones turned on the first milestone being $700 but it will continue to go up in milestones after that.

I’m way outside of my comfort zone posting this, but I’m in desperate need of help right now.

Last month I was diagnosed with Stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It’s an aggressive cancer that’s already spread through my body.

A few months ago I noticed a swollen lymph node on my elbow. Then more started appearing day after day in my groin, armpit, then chin. Then my ears had fluid and pressure and I couldn’t hear out of my right ear. I set up an appointment with my primary care provider to see what was wrong.

Four days before the appointment, I started having back and chest pain, making it impossible to sleep or even lie down flat. The pains were way worse at nighttime. It was really scary like I was being stabbed in my back and sharp intermittent heart pains. At the visit, she scheduled a CT scan and biopsy, but said to go to the ER if the symptoms returned at night.

That night, the pains returned, and I went to the ER. They did CT scans with dye. Having to lay flat even for 15 minutes during the scan was the most pain I’ve ever experienced in my life. I didn’t have any pain meds at that time. I was uncontrollably crying after I got out of the machine and had to assure the tech it wasn’t his fault. It wasn’t claustrophobia, just torture level pain.

The scans showed cancer from my skull to my thighs, plus large masses in my lung, spleen, and abdomen. It was really hard processing that because I was really hoping for them to find something wrong due to the pain, and feared them being unsure what it was. But I didn’t expect multiple masses the size of pool balls to softballs in my organs and chest.

They did a biopsy on the lymph node in my chin to verify the diagnosis and installed the port in my chest. Then I started chemo on April 6th. It’s very exhausting and I haven’t been able to work due to the revolving door of side effects. At least the nausea medication is more effective these days they told me.

I’ve done over 8,000 DoorDash deliveries. I work very hard and take a ton of pride in it, mainly doing the shop and deliver orders at Safeway. I've built up a solid list of regulars who know I take it seriously. But being self-employed means no safety net right now.

I’m raising money for rent, uncovered medical costs, medications, and basic living expenses while I fight this. Any support, whether it’s a donation or sharing my GoFundMe, would help more than you know.

Thanks for reading. I’ll post updates as I go through treatment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Target: $20,000

Hi I’m trying to raise funds for my little boy Odin to unfortunately get his front leg amputated. Odin was hit by a car 10 days before Christmas 2025 and suffered a serious head trauma which also resulted in Horner’s Syndrome and damage to the nerves in his front leg. Thankfully the more serious head trauma and neurological issues he has since recovered from but unfortunately the same cannot be said for his leg. After months of physical therapy, acupuncture and massage therapy he hasn’t regained any of the nerves in his front paw meaning they are irreversibly damaged beyond repair and it is now in his best interest to amputate the leg. After all of his vet bills that have racked up and the cost of various therapies I have completely blown through all my savings and am struggling to gather the money for his limb amputation (I’m still currently paying off his last vet bill). I have tried the pet charities that are local to me for help (I’m located in the UK), Cats Protection and RSPCA but they do not offer funding help in my area, I was very lucky and grateful to receive £200 funding from the Blue Cross that went towards one of his previous vet bills but this means I obviously cannot apply for help for this surgery as they already graciously helped me, we are also out of the catchment area for help from PDSA. He unfortunately doesn’t have pet insurance which in hind sight would have been beneficial 😔 and I can’t get any out now until after his surgery so that I can add it as a pre existing condition so that it would be covered for any future issues but this will be done as soon as he has had his surgery. I am now trying to raise the funds for his surgery by setting up a go fund me, I have been incredibly fortunate with my friends and family who have been able to help and donate and am now reaching out to other avenues to see if I can raise the funds. I would be truly forever grateful if anyone was able to donate anything at all even £1 will make all the difference, thank you so much 🙏🏻

Smile after sobriety

Hello, I'm annalise and I am asking for help with recovering my smile after my sobriety. It hasn't been an easy journey, but I've made it this far. I'm trying to raise 3k to change my life and fix my smile! Unfortunately, my dental health wasn't my main priority during active addiction. (From 14-29) I'm almost 6 months sober now and I desperately need my (remaining) teeth extracted and to get dentures. My face has a lot of infection from the decay in my teeth. It blackens my eye sometimes. I can only eat soft food. Not only that, it would be life changing for my self esteem and motivation to stay on the right path. It really gets me down sometimes. I feel like it will give me a more professional and responsible appearance when trying to gain employment. Thanks in advance. I appreciate it more than you know. I added a photo of my teeth on my GoFundMe, but I did crop it to just my mouth because it is overwhelming and embarrassing to even post this. (The x ray is from 2024 but you can see the infection in my face) Please no mean comments.

The past few years have been extremely rough. I was diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis, unknown primary, stage 4, on May 6th 2020. On top of having cancer, I also have Lupus. Go big or go home, right? LOL

Unfortunately, this is a terminal cancer, and by the grace of God, I am still alive.

I have been on Hospice twice now and taken off twice.

My cancer acts up (metastasizes), and then seems to level out for a while before spreading once again.

I don't exactly know how to describe this cancer other than it is a life sentence. It is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions with good days and some really bad days.

Pain is a constant. Obviously, some days are worse than others, and emotionally, well, that's equally as awful.

I have to take pain meds every day, anti-nausea meds around the clock, as well as an anti-nausea patch behind my ear. I can't drive because while I may feel OK to drive, I'm not about to endanger the lives of innocent people.

I see a palliative care doctor every 2 months along with lab work and CT scans every 2 months to monitor the cancer progress.

For a while, the cancer will stay the same (stabilize, if you will. As in the tumors don't enlarge), and then on the next scan, they will have enlarged again. It's like a rinse/repeat cycle. With a crazy emotional up and down rollercoaster.

I get to tell everyone I love things are progressing, and then 2 months later, it's like, "Oh, haha, just kidding, the tumors have leveled out."

I'm not sure how much more of this my emotional well-being can handle.

Not to mention, I'm not sure how much more my loved ones can handle either.

I've pre paid for my cremation. Taken care of all my final preparations so they don't have to worry about that. But none of it has been easy.

Countless trips/stays in the hospital. Countless blood transfusions, injections to raise my white count, countless falls, broken bones, etc. etc, etc.

Unfortunately, the last fall I had, I fractured t3, t4, t5, t6, t8, t11, and t12.

I also, because - fun fact, when breaking your fall, you shouldn't use your face, I know, I know. I knocked out several of my teeth. I mean, who would have guessed falling flat on your face was bad, right? LOL

The dentist said since I did most of his work for him, removing the teeth and putting dentures in would be my best course of action. He was also kind enough to inform me I did most of his work for him. What a guy, am I right? Hahaha

The total cost for the dentures is about $8,000.00 (OUCH!!!) but my insurance will pay for all but about $1,800.

Unfortunately, since I live on a very low income (thanks cancer) I do not have $1800.00 laying around.

I did have some money saved up, but unfortunately my best friend (my 15 year old dog) passed away 2 weeks ago. So there went what little I did have saved up.

I'm hoping and praying there are some some kind souls out there that could possibly help out so I could actually eat once again.

I have any, and all, documentation needed to show anyone who would like to see it.

Thank you for hearing me out. It means the world to me.

I hope I'm doing this right as it's my first time. On March 27th, 2026, my husband was in a terrible car accident that involved one of those giant dump truck like rock trucks. Thankfully, he's alive, but he suffered a broken neck (C7 fracture), lower lumbar vertebrae breaks, a broken right iliac wing fracture of the pelvis and a broken collarbone.

He's now confined to a wheelchair or the recliner chair and has to wear a neck brace for the next 6+ weeks or until the doctor gives him the all clear to remove it. He is unable to walk more than a couple of steps with help, but thankfully, the hospital provided a bedside commode, transfer board, and the wheelchair he's using. The doctors have told us that if he takes the brace off and turns his neck wrong, it could result in permanent paralysis, so that's terrifying to me when I have to remove the collar and clean his neck.

I am now a full-time caregiver to him and our two boys, and I'm responsible for everything for everyone. Our car was completely totaled, so now we have no vehicle, and I have to walk everywhere to ensure we get all the things we need. I never knew how much this would emotionally and physically wreck me, especially since I can't even take care of my own needs right now.

Up until today, we thought his job understood what was happening and would allow him to heal and return, but his boss came over this afternoon and fired him, on top of everything else. Louisiana is an "at will" state, and considering he wasn't hurt on the job, they're within their rights to fire him.

We've had great support from a couple close friends and family members who have already donated but with medical bills, rent, utilities, groceries and basic kid/adult needs, what we have recieved isn't going to last much longer so I'm extending our sharing reach by using other platforms and not just Facebook.

We're applying for food stamps and unemployment, so hopefully, that will be somewhat helpful eventually, but for now, I'm struggling under the weight of everything. When it rains, it pours, and this feels like a monsoon.

I just want to make sure a roof is kept over my kids' heads, and I can keep things as normal as I can for them until we get this figured out. I'd like my husband to be able to heal without the stress of bills and supporting us on top of it.

Even if you just share my link, I'd be so incredibly thankful. It's so hard to swallow your pride and ask strangers for help, and I've never done this before so it has taken me a week to get up the confidence to even make this post, lol. I'll attach the gofund me link below.

My closest friend Jessica is escaping a serious domestic abuse and stalking situation and urgently needs help to start over safely.

She’s had to make the difficult decision to leave Inverness and move several hours away, where her 6-year-old daughter is currently staying with family. Being apart from her child has been incredibly hard, and her goal is simply to reunite and create a safe, stable home for them both.

Because of everything she’s been through, Jessica isn’t in a financial position to cover the cost of moving or setting up a new home. This isn’t about starting fresh by choice, it’s about safety.

Any donations will go toward:

Moving costs & Creating a safe home for her and her daughter

She’s not someone who asks for help lightly, but right now she truly needs support. Even a small contribution or share would mean a lot.

This is a chance to help a mother get back to her child and rebuild a life free from fear.

Thank you ❤️

Hello everyone I have come to ask help with paying off my mortgage that has been unpaid for almost 90 days. Due to financial hardship and my wife quitting her life insurance job due to the high amount of stress, almost 12 hour work days, and abusive upper management I have been unable to make any payments to the mortgage even with my good paying career. My wife has recently found better employment after 3 months of a rest period as the stress from her life insurance job made her have a mental breakdown from her abusive bosses that loved to yell at her when she had to take care of our son who is barely a year old.I did not want to force her and push her to find another job so soon as i could not stand seeing her slowly drain in a job that was not fulfilling for her and only caused her months of mental torture just to make money.We are slowly recovering but not quickly enough and are afraid that our house will be foreclosed on. I have tried as much as I can to keep my family comfortable and housed but have reached a breaking point that is affecting both me and my wife's mental health. A few dollars or shares will go a long way for my family and hopefully with the combined amount I make and the donations I can make my wife happy and put her worries away so she can focus on her career and my loving little boy again. I have been working hours on end so that I did not have to ask for much money and with the combined effort I know we will have enough and I might even be able to take a break to stay off my feet with how physically and emotionally draining my career can be at times. Anything will help even if you cannot donate sharing will always go a long way and do not give too much and caused your own hardships. I wish y'all a good morning, good evening, and goodnight and thank you for taking the time to read this long story with the worst grammar imaginable (English was never my best subject). If y'all have any questions about me or anything I will be happy to reply it just might take me awhile do to my 12 hour shifts.

Hello everyone, sorry for this long post but I really hope it makes sense as to why I’m seeking support.

Two years ago I left the Army without a clear plan. While I was in, I somehow ended up captaining the Alpine Ski Race Team, despite the fact they’d only taught me to ski 8 years earlier. It became the one thing I genuinely loved and felt proud of.

So when I got out, I took a risk and moved to Japan to become a ski instructor.

It was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I loved the work, the people, the lifestyle… everything about it just clicked.

Unfortunately then it all went wrong… In December I had a bad accident on the slopes and completely blew out my knee. ACL rupture, meniscus tear, and bone fractures. I went from being fully active every day to barely being able to move properly.

I decided to stay in Japan for treatment because going back home would’ve meant long waiting times and higher costs. At the time, it felt like the smart decision.

But since then, things have slowly unravelled.

My previous employer promised hours and support during recovery that never materialised. Because of my injury and limited mobility, I can’t work most physical jobs. On top of that, I don’t speak enough Japanese to easily find alternatives.

I’ve been applying for anything I realistically can do, but nothing has come through yet.

Right now I’m struggling to cover basic living costs. Rent, hospital bills, food, even just getting around is becoming difficult. I’ve tried reaching out to charities, but because I’m out of my home country, I don’t qualify for most support.

I hate asking for help like this. I’ve always been someone who just gets on with things and figures it out. But I’ve hit a point where I can’t do that on my own anymore.

If anyone is able to help, even a small amount, it would genuinely make a huge difference in helping me stay afloat while I recover and find a way forward.

And if you can’t donate, even just upvoting this means a lot.

Thank you for your consideration, I am happy to answer any questions you may have about this. I am on the Japanese healthcare system which is very complicated and slightly behind the times but I will try my best to give a full answer

Hello! Spent my day crying today over what feels like the most defeating past 10 months of my life. It’s evident I don’t bring value to the world. I’ve lost all the joy I’ve had for myself, and my accomplishments. I’ve lost all the confidence I’ve had in myself that I had 10 months ago. I never once thought I’d be facing homelessness head on but that is my reality. I’ve been active trying more than anyone realizes to get a job anywhere. I’ve lost my car due to this situation so unfortunately I cannot even do gig work. I’ve tried everywhere for jobs and am denied for even entry level positions. I’m not sure why I’m not hire able. I have no felonies not even a speeding ticket. I have my MBA and nothing no call backs nothing. I’ve reached out to 211 in my area since I’m not in Nashville my only resource is the Salvation Army which when you call explains they have no rental assistance. I have no family to ask. I have no friends to ask. Everyone I do ask says they will not help me. This is my last resort before I lose everything and accept homelessness head on. This will take me away from my kids as their dad does not want them around me if I’m in a homeless shelter which I understand. Attaching proof of what’s going on below. I appreciate any help and support even just kind words of encouragement.

She swallowed something the other day and the vet tried to get it out by inducing vomiting but it did not work. They informed us that she would need an endoscopy and the estimated cost is going to be between $3500-$5000. I wish I could afford it, I was barely able to foot the $1100 emergency vet visit on the 12th. If you can help this dog it would be appreciated. I would be using a different vet than what is listed on the invoice because that vet does not have endoscopy equipment. I was told that this object will not pass the sphincter in the stomach. She has diarrhea off and on but so far it has not passed. https://gofund.me/d4d365d98

I was given this dog after she was found on a parkway and the family friend who dropped her off is now no where to be seen after given this information. She said she needed help and now I have no help. I really dont want to see her put down because of this if I bring her to a shelter.

I had posted earlier but didnt have any proof of like what I need to pay etc so I got some receipts to help show what were doing

1 week is 438. But a night at a time costs $83 because of having 2 cats even tho theyre registered esa pets and one will qake me if my bf has a seizure. He was in neuro ccu in Oct. Due to a massive seizures that wouldn't stop even with medication the nurses were even kind of freaking out and he was intubated and all that has a major brain injury on the right lobe so he lost his job after that and I lost mine cuz of my mental health.

I have a social worker whos gonna helo us get into housing but that takes a few days/weeks idk were just living day by day and struggling constantly.

We just got hired at a fast food joint but cant start till next week and then waiting on a check etc were just trying to figvit out until we get placed into accessible housing for my disabilities (mental health issues plus I had scoliosis surgery in 2018 so I have 2 rods abd 18 screws in my spine to straighten it out but it's a constant struggle and I have to wait on disability to be approved. I hope I have enough on here I think I met the approval here the 166 is for 2 nights the 283 was cyz she hadvto call a plumber and he charged her 600 and we had dropped a fork into the toilet apparently didn't know and glusged it so she made us pay the nightly rate plus $200 towards the plumber. We've asked all family etc and nothing to help.

Nightly rate is $83

Weekly rare is $430 so saves $150 if were able to do that!

Hi everyone,

Please meet my best friend, Roman.

Roman isn't just a cat, he's a huge part of our family and means the world to my children and I. He's always there, whether it's curling up beside us, following us around the house, or just being that constant comforting presence in our lives. On April 4th, Roman's world as he knew it changed, when suddenly he started crying out in pain and it was obvious that he was experiencing an issue with his hind area. We rushed him in to the emergency vet clinic, where they examined him and took x-rays that were sent off to be reviewed by a specialist.

We were told that Roman has a predisposed condition, where part of his hip joint (right side) didn't develop properly, leaving the area weaker than normal. Because of this, he suffered a painful fracture in his hip (the ball part of the joint), making it very difficult for him to walk or even stand comfortably.

Roman now needs urgent surgery called a femoral head and neck ostectomy, where the damaged part of the hip joint is removed. Right now, he's in a lot of discomfort, and this surgery is necessary to give him a chance at a pain free life.

This came out of nowhere, and was a total shock. The cost of his emergency vet bill and surgery is just simply more than I can manage on my own right now. I am a single mother of 4 children, and I am currently a mature student completing my post-secondary degree in a full-time program, with a part-time job. This leaves me with a very limited income, and I've been trying to figure out every possible option as this isn't something that can wait without affecting Roman's quality of life.

Seeing Roman in pain has been very hard on all of us and your support would mean the world to us. We are trying to reach as many people as we can to share Roman's story, so that he can have a chance.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to read this, your shares and support during this time mean more than I can express.

Fiocco (we also call him Spino) is an 11-12-year-old fluffy white dog who belongs to nobody - and to everyone. For over 10 years, he has been the unofficial mayor of our small village in Campania, southern Italy. He walks elderly neighbors to the post office on pension day, waits outside the butcher every morning, and shows up at church every Sunday like clockwork.

On April 4th, Easter Saturday, he collapsed without warning. We found him unconscious in the yard. No vets were working that day, it was a holiday. We managed on our own through the night and found a vet on Facebook on Easter Sunday who has been treating him since.

Three vets, three different diagnoses: stroke, spinal hernia, cardiac/pulmonary collapse. One wanted to euthanize him on the spot. We refused.

He is still fighting. He eats, drinks, and looks at us with those eyes. But we need a CT scan (€700) and a neurology consultation (€100) to finally understand what is wrong with him and whether he can be saved.

In two weeks, we have already spent nearly €1,000 of our own money. The whole village is asking about him every day. People came to visit from Rome and Naples.

If you can help - even just by sharing - we would be forever grateful.

Thank you from our whole village🐾

A little over a week ago on 4/17 I was involved in a high speed crash/ejection. I was not driving and the driver did not hit another car but somehow (I have zero memory of the accident) we ended up rolling several times and I was either ejected out of the moon roof or passenger window. I should be dead but I landed in sticker bushes which really saved me. Someone didn’t want me to go yet. I sustained several injuries, a broken back (I’m told I was basically in half) which required an emergency 7 hour surgery, all my ribs broke and half my neck fractured and I suffered from a brain bleed that thankfully reabsorbed itself. Accompanied by road rash all over my body and face.

I am a bartender by trade and I cannot go back to doing that for a long time now as the bending and shaking would be too much. I depleted my emergency fund earlier this year so I’m left with no income to take care of my animals and myself whenever I am released and sent to rehab. I’m still in the hospital right now.

I am eternally grateful to be alive, however, I don’t have much for a support system to help navigate my finances for the forseeable future.

Thanks for reading, ya’ll 💫🩷

Hi everyone! My name is Jades and I am 19 years old. I am an orphan without much support in my personal life. I was thrown out at 18.

With the rising costs of rent, my girlfriend and I have found ourselves unable to sustain housing. We both work, but due to recent injuries we are on light duty and make half pay for the forseeable future (minimum wage).

In two weeks our time is up living with a friend, and we need some support with making living out of our car more comfortable. We’re asking $500 just to cover the last of some needs: think a cooler, small electric generator, fans for heat, etc.

Hello, Reddit!

Normally I'm not one to ask for help, but honestly I'm in a situation where it may be necessary. I was attempting to immigrate to Canada with the help of my spouse, but things did not go as planned (rising costs of EVERYTHING these days just sucks)... so I need to go back home, as my visitor visa will run out long before we can get the money.

It's no one's fault and I bear no ill will, but coming up with the funds to even get me home (we'd be using a truck, which we all know are infamous for being gas hogs) is a lot. We've raised a little bit so far, but nowhere near what we need. I'm hoping that someone, somewhere, may see this and help me get back to my home area.

I already have a job lined up, but I really could use some funds to make sure I'm situated until then. Even a couple dollars would go a long way. I thank you for reading and genuinely wish you all a good day. ❤️
