Just moved into a new place and can't afford groceries. Used up my government emergency fund and I'm left with nothing until my next check day. Thanks for the consideration!

Hello everyone! I'm reaching out to you today asking for help to prevent my daughter and l from being on the streets and help with food. We are currently homeless living in a hotel in Houston, Texas after being evicted from our apartment last year. We were evicted because of me not being able to work after becoming deathly ill with blood clots. Though l have returned to work, but due to frequent doctors visits, missed days due to illness and the closure of my work place during the holidays has left me financially strapped for the means to pay our hotel room. My daughter has started working, but will not receive her paycheck until next Friday as will l. I've applied for food stamps but have not been recertified yet. We need assistance is needed as soon as possible. Our room rate is 46.99 and the weekly rate is about 328. Any monies received will go towards the room which is already two days behind. Please reach out for any questions or concerns. I have PayPal, Zelle, Venmo. Thank you in advance for reading this and thanks to the mods for approving this post. Be blessed!

Im trying to better understand this as ive never had any kind of government, state or charity assistance before and have no clue how any of it works, i learned about this here : https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/need_a_free_car.html
I live in Louisiana (Houma currently) and this program would help me SO much as to help with a job i am about to start as well as being able to see my son alot more but the list goes on. I have been trying to obtain a vehicle for 2 years now and I keep having hardship after hardship slow this down for me and i believe that if these programs do exist it would help me be better in the workforce and get me out of all my hardships. I could type forever on why i feel a program helping me with a vehicle would solve so many issues ive had the last couple years but unless it helps me obtain a vehicle i wont bore you with it all! Even programs that provide a small auto loan to people with bad credit from issues years ago would help me also.

He says in the video that he escaped the cult through YouTube, by blowing up and seeing what the real world was like he was able to make it out. This is a link to the video. If you watch it, you'll get more details and can confirm for yourself all of this is true. This is a link to his Patreon where you can donate. Even if you don't think YouTube and Fiverr are real jobs at least have some respect for a man who may lose his kids to a cult.

This is really hard to deal with, obviously. I have a history of depression and attempted suicide a couple months ago. Now he refused to speak to me at all except to say, go kill yourself. Do it. Everyone is waiting just do it.
Right so it's more complicated by the fact that the rent has been raised and it is now more than my social security. I could kick my son out, with 20 days notice, but then I'm homeless too.
It's just so hard, and painful, and going through this housing insecurity month after month is really taking a toll on my health, mental and physical. I know this is a lot, but any thoughts or just encouragement might be the tipping point.

I don’t know where to start this story. I typed it out last night on an ask reddit post and then deleted it because I’m a coward. It’s a little long. But I hope it’s at least interesting.
The culmination of almost ten years of failure crashed down last night as I traveled back to my home town for the first time in two years for extended family Christmas.
I grew up in the Bible Belt in a small cross of a place that isn’t still a town but isn’t really a city yet. My parents got divorced when I was three and my Mother (who had custody) got remarried when I was five. My stepdad and my Mother had four more kids (who I consider my brothers/sisters… not my “half” brothers/sisters) and I had bi-weekend visitation with my father for a bit. My Dad represents everything I’ve always been scared of being in life: a dreamless man who let his laziness lead him to a life of working in a factory (a job he only got because his father managed the place) and using copious amounts of substances to numb himself to his reality. I don’t remember seeing my Dad use anything. But the first time I smoked Pot (at age 22) was comforting because I knew the smell from my Dad’s house. My Dad stopped talking to me suddenly when I was in High School and this continued until his death this summer. I’d reached out to him three times in my adult life, once less than six months before his death. He never wanted anything really to do with me.
I wanted to go into theatre when I was in High School. But I got sidetracked by my first “love” who was a conservative Baptist Christian (this was in 2009). I graduated High School and I knew she was slipping away from me. I decided to attend Liberty University to be a Pastor in order to try to keep her. My Stepdad offered to pay the tuition (around $25,000) but I quickly dropped out once I realized how wrong Liberty was(/is) about… everything. This was 2010.
I moved back to my hometown and stayed there until I was 22 (2013). I turned down moving to Kentucky for an acting job to go work at Disney World because I thought working at Disney World would be a steady job. My Mom and Stepdad helped me get an apartment on the condition that I’d pay the rent. I thought that wouldn’t be a problem because I was working full-time for a Fortune 500 company. I was very wrong. Disney introduced me to a poverty that I thought only existed in dystopian novels. I made friends with people sleeping in their cars who worked with me. I started working between 40-65 hours a week trying to keep my head up and I still couldn’t make rent. My Stepdad started, begrudgingly, helping with it. It started to get bitter.
At the same time, I started to gain people who wanted to be around me for the first time. I spent everyday alone in my hometown, after I moved back in 2010. I was a “freak” there and no one could understand what I wanted to do with my life (large scale immersive theatre). I felt very ostracized and alone there. Suddenly at Disney World… I was the life of the party. All the drugs/sex/parties I’d wished I’d be invited to growing up were suddenly being thrown at my own apartment. No one at Disney knew how much I was struggling because we were all kinda in the same boat of pretending nothing was wrong when, in reality, the (Disney) world was burning around us.
Eventually, it became too much and I had to leave Orlando. My Mom/Stepdad were at the end of their rope helping me. I was 25 now and I still couldn’t get it together. I left Orlando and tried New York City for a bit, living on friends floors. I couldn’t find happiness there either. This is the first time a feeling took over me that hasn’t gone away… “Am I ever going to be able to make enough money to survive?”
Leaving New York, I got a break: a paid acting job in a production of The Rocky Horror Show. This production took place in the capital of my home state. I moved in with a fellow castmate who was living in her (rich) boyfriends house… and then we became drug reclusive.
Now listen: I love pot. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with pot. I think pot should 100% be legal and pot, in small doses, helps regulate my sever depression/anxiety problems. But moving to do The Rocky Horror Show (2016) is when I started a year and a half long journey of smoking about two hundred dollars of pot a week on top of tripping LSD a few times a week.
I went from being the life of a party to a drug shut-in.
I tried very hard to break the cycle. I moved with myself and two friends to a bigger city to try to start a theatre company of our own. I invested the little money I had in it to make it work. I really thought this was going to be what changed my life. And I guess I wasn’t wrong.
After getting one production done, the whole thing started to fall apart quickly. I invested EVERYTHING into the production… and made negative money back. I started to get into debt trying to keep the theatre going and trying to keep myself (and my friends) eating. I started smoking more pot and I started doing more LSD to try to escape.
Eventually, it got to be too much on Valentines Day of this year (2018).
I took an eye dropper full of liquid LSD, a bottle of Tylenol, smoked a blunt, and had a glass of wine… and then I laid down and waited to die. I could live in this reality any longer.
My roommmate called 9/11.
I could write a ten page paper on what happened to me when my heart stopped while on that much LSD. And I won’t even really go into here except to say that I experienced the perfect peace/love/warmth I’d always been missing while I was dead. Being brought back by the Cops was a terrible experience. As I was wheeled away into the ambulance, I knew that everything was over. Almost ten years of crushing depression and money problems had finally over boiled.
I moved out as soon as I got out of the hospital and moved back in with my parents.
I’ve worked a few retail jobs since then but my mental health has made it harder and harder to keep them.
I wish I had not been revived….. I tried to kill myself because of mounting money problems and I was revived and sent to the hospital… resulting in horrific hospital bills.
It’s been a slow painful road to try to get my once very sharp mind back.
I can’t listen to Daniel Johnston or anything about Sid Barrett without weeping… because i’ve become them.
I’m not on a bed in my grandmothers house for Family Christmas. Back in my hometown. I have cousins who are the same age as I am (27) who are very successful. And I know the way the family talks about me… I’m the cautionary tale… I’m the discussion point once I leave the room.
I don’t even have a full dollar in my bank account to get coffee.
Unapologetically, I’m going to share my cash app and venmo username (they’re both cosmicjonathan) because i just don’t know what to do anymore and I need a Christmas Miracle. I feel like a fucking loser going on the internet and basically asking strangers for money. But I have nothing to lose anymore… because I truly have nothing. I’ve sold my car, I don’t have an iPhone anymore, i’ve downsized to nothing…. just to try to survive. I have nothing to show for my adult life but failure.
This has been the worst year of my life and I can’t believe I’ve survived it.
Where is the light at the end of the tunnel?
Why couldn’t they just let me stay dead and at peace?
Thank you for reading this. I hope your day is filled with peace and light and love.

Hello everyone. I live in Metro Atlanta and I volunteer with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta - a children’s hospital that provides life saving care to kids from all over the Southeastern United States. In the spirit of giving, I am fundraising for Children’s for the holidays. My goal is to raise $1,000 before Christmas and I’m only $72 away! If you would like to help me help the kids, please visit ksumiracle.org/kellie
I joined an organization at my university because while I have a very happy, healthy child, I know that not everyone is as fortunate as I am. Through my time with Children’s, I met a wonderful boy named Patrick who was born with Spina Bifida (this means that nothing from the waist down works). Despite being in a wheelchair permanently, Pat is one of the happiest, most carefree people I’ve ever met. You age out of Children’s at 21 and when Pat was 22, he got really sick and had to be taken to your typical adult hospital. They couldn’t find out what was wrong and it was looking very scary. The nurses at CHOA demanded that he be brought to them despite no longer being of age. He was airlifted to Scottish Rite, a CHOA location, where he recovered quickly in adequate care. This is just one story that explains why I support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and shows why they’re worthy of support. If you can give anything, please head to ksumiracle.org/kellie and donate! (All donations are tax deductible!)
Thank you and happy holidays.

I know this is a long shot and that money is tight this time of year because of Christmas but I’m currently studying at university and have been away from my mum for a couple of months straight, I know that might not sound like a lot of time to some people but before I moved away I hadn’t been away from her for more than a weekend school trip.
The short of the story is, being a student, I am outright broke and haven’t been able to afford the train journey home for some time, while I have been putting off telling my mum (she’s a worrier) by regularly telling her that I am pinned in by school work, the semester has now ended and I have had to come clean that I simply can’t afford to travel home.
She too has tried to get hold of the money for my travel unsuccessfully and has become very stressed by the idea that I will be alone for the first time over Christmas.
I am asking for someone or multiple people to please help me get together £70 needed for the coach journey home.
EDIT: A huge thank you to u/ilovecats87 for pointing me in the direction of National express coaches who can take me the same journey as the train would, for £90 cheaper
Of course I don’t expect someone to just give me all this money and I am trying any and every way I can think of to get it, I am just asking for any small contribution that any generous person could afford to give towards my needed total in the name of holiday spirit.
Thank you for reading

The past couple days my Grandma hasn't been treated well at the care facility she's at.
They've yelled at her and one nurse has thrown some of her pain medication in the garbage.
They also are not properly administering it on schedule as the doctor has ordered. They are streaching it out and she is clearly in a lot of pain to the point of calling us late at night crying.
They have ignored her needs to go to the bathroom for over an hour at times as they chat with each other. My Grandma has a bladder infection and is allergic to the anti-biotics used to treat those, making matters even worse.
This is all after a very major back surgury that had some complications. It's the only place nearby that accepts her insurance so moving her isn't a real option.
My family has spoken to everyone we can think of at the facility and we have absolutely no faith in some kind of an internal process solving this as other patients and families have come forward to my dad while he was there.
I live in Connecticut. After doing some research I've found out that in person conversations only require the consent of 1 party to record (phone conversations require all parties to be informed). I'm buying a digital recorder that will go into her jacket pocket so I can have solid evidence to bring forward to anyone I can show it to.
Can anyone suggest people and/or agencies I should get in contact with?

Just need help to verify my google number. I have no cell service now, so I can't verify it myself. I asked my friend but she couldn't help.
The way it goes is I will put your number in my google account, you will get a text with a code that I will put in my google account and my number is verified. You won't get any calls or messages after that, since I am not planning on using this google voice for calls, and only planning to use it for a short time till I get service

I've run out of money and I don't get paid for two weeks, I would love if someone could lend me £90 to tide me over until then. I can provide evidence of the payments I will be recieving and am more than willing to provide ID and other such proof of identity prior to the loan being given. This would be a huge help and would take a huge weight off my back, thank you! I'll pay back by the 23rd

Honestly, things have been horrible recently....I’m getting kicked out of school(4th time) because I can’t afford it and basically my family is just ignoring me. I resorted to go fund me but honestly I understand that places are like this are chuck full of worse problems so I’m just asking for something to get me through the week....I don’t know how I’d survive otherwise.

Hi there Reddit,
About a month ago it just started getting cold here up in New England, so I went outside to warmup my car and when I turned the heat out nothing came out. No air at all coming out of any of the vents. I figured it was a fuse or something so I did all the small things that I could find on the internet to try and fix the problem before taking it in to get checked out but nothing worked. I’m currently working three jobs to help support my Mother who was recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease, pay off student loans and other debt related to college and a $350 plus car payment (not including insurance) and at this point it’s only enough work to cover the bills. I have no savings at all and the only person who would help me is the one who needs my help most. As winter is just upon us and a lot of my day is driving back and forth to work three jobs, After bringing it to a mechanic i got an estimate of $398 (plus hourly rate) to fix the Blower Motor in my car. I asked to do some sort of payment plan but the mechanic said it won’t be fixed until paid in full. The forecast for this week is a high of 33 degrees Fahrenheit.
I’m in need of serious financial help/support/advice to get this fixed. If you know someone or you yourself could help that would make sure that I can continue taking care of my mother and making sure I’ll get all my bills paid on time and that means the world to me.
Thank you in advance for your support and kind words!

Hey guys, I think the title is pretty much self explanatory. In the course digital marketing we had to set up a blog about a toppic and reach 600 page views each. lasting aprox. 5min. We can compensate browse time with more page views though!
This is my website: https://seriestowatch.ch/
All I am asking is for you to click on the link and help me reach my goal. It would mean the world to me, ill keep you all updated how much traffic I generate.

Me and my fiance's combined phone bill is $83 and we really need to have them on to put job applications in online cause we don't have in home WiFi and we need to be able to set up job interviews. We have no pet food or food for us at the moment and we're all very hungry! Please help and we won't forget you, we'll return the favor in any way we can, we're just so so desperate! Thank you!

I'm willing to pay $15 in return for this help.
You may withdraw your $250 at anytime btw. Must be in US or Canada.
I'm not a scammer. There is no point in scamming anyone because he will just post about it and I won't get another 2 persons....
Pm me if interested
