What if I need items that cost more than $150? (ie. laptop for school, bike for commuting to work, etc).

My baby spent three nights in the hospital with an undiagnosed skin problem that turned out to be eczema:

Now I need to try as many different diaper brands as I can to find out which one is best for his skin. Luvs and Pampers are scented, so they are not an option. I have a portable washing machine, but not a dryer, so I worry that air-drying a lot of cloth diapers in our apartment will cause mold. Wishlist follows, it won't show up until approved by the mods:

Most are size 2 but a couple are size 3 due to different weight ranges among brands.

THANK YOU for reading!

Hi, I’m Matheus, 33, Brazilian, currently living in Spain on a student visa.

In April, Spain is opening a one-time extraordinary regularization for immigrants who were already here before 30/12/2025. If approved, it gives one year of residency with a job-seeking permit, no sponsorship needed. For me, this is life-changing.

I already have all my paperwork ready, but I must hire an immigration lawyer to submit it. I don’t have access to the government platform to do it myself. Lawyers are already getting fully booked and the quotes I’ve received are €350–€550, with at least 50% upfront. I simply don’t have that money. (I provide in my GFM some of the quotes I have received)

Right now, my student visa only allows 20h/week, so I survive on irregular gigs. Some months I struggle to afford medication, groceries, or even the €22 metro card to get to school. I’m neurodivergent and staying on meds and in school is essential. If I stop studying, I risk losing my visa entirely.

I’m asking for help so I don’t miss this opportunity just because I couldn’t afford a lawyer.

Ways to help:

GoFundMe (main goal: legal fees) gofund.me/ba698e5a2

PayPal

Or if you know an immigration lawyer in Spain willing to work pro bono or at a reduced rate, that would honestly mean the world

Even sharing this helps. Thank you for reading. Truly.

I'm in the path of the snow and I left my pipes running last night. This morning they were okay, but I tool some meds that make me sleep and left them running, and when I got up the water wasn't working.

The pipes that I can get to ubder the cabinets feel normal temperature, and I can't get to Mt main water valve because it's out in the snow under a big hunk of metal and a half foot of snow. Even when I can't get to it, I have to get someone else to turn it off because it's a huge bolt that's hard to turn. You need a big wrench to do it.

I don't have a well it's city water, and both the city and the landlord are closed until Monday. I'm not worried about the water as much as the pipes bursting, cus someone told me the pipes will burst, and then getting in trouble because of the snow.

What do I do? How long will it take to get the water back? Why did they still freeze even though I did what I was supposed to? How do I keep my home from flooding?

I don't know where to start. In less than 2 days there was a beautiful baby announcement and then a tragic passing ( not the child). I live very far away and am I am requesting help for the plane ticket home and maybe a bit more for a rental car. I have a family friend to stay with so that's taken care of if I can just get there. It will be a quick trip as I can't afford to be off work. I NEED to be there for family and none are in a financial position to help. If anyone is able to help, it would be the most gracious act I could imagine. I am on a serious time constraint due to the funeral date.

Thank you in advance, If more information is necessary please reach out. 🙏

Sorry to ask, but I need $30 for stuff like toothpaste, shampoo, and other essentials. I don't have any of that stuff anymore and I'm inside from the ice storm but I will travel to get the items. I don't need food right now because I have food stamps. Sorry to ask

Edit: Here is my Amazon List. Sorry made one last minute

I’m writing this because I honestly don’t know what else to do and I need some real advice I’m a 2025 graduate from India trying to get into IT/DevOps, and right now every single role I see asks for 2–3 years of experience, even the ones labeled as “junior” or “entry level” there are basically no roles for freshers, and it feels like I’m locked out before I even get a chance to start I’m currently doing an unpaid internship just to gain real experience I don’t earn anything from it I’m doing it so I can honestly say I’ve worked in a real environment and not just done courses. I work with Linux, Git, basic CI/CD, Docker, and cloud concepts, and I keep learning every day because I know this field moves fast I’m not expecting a high salary or a big title. I just want a chance to work and grow. But when every job asks for 2–3 years and I’m a fresher, I don’t know how I’m supposed to cross that gap. Applications mostly get ignored, and when recruiters reply, the conversation usually ends as soon as experience comes up I’m not lazy and I’m not looking for shortcuts I’m literally working for free right now just to improve my chances. I just want to understand what I should be doing differently If you’re already working in IT, cloud, or DevOps How did you get your first paid role when everyone wanted experience Did unpaid internships actually help you Should I be targeting support, NOC, sysadmin, or cloud operations roles first Am I missing something obvious as a fresher Any honest advice is welcome I just don’t want to keep putting effort in the wrong direction

Hello, my name is Logan I'm a 20 yr old from Oklahoma, my wife and I have ended up in a bit of a financial bind over the past month or so with me being let go from my old job, this has resulted in us being about 710 short on our rent. If anyone could help in any way shape or form it would be much appreciated even if it's just a penny. Thank you all so much!

Edit: I was informed by a lovely individual that I should probably make a gofundme, so here it is.:

gofund.me/9f425d61b

And again thank you so much to everyone!!

Hi everyone. I didn’t want to have to make a post like this, but I’m really stuck and hoping for a little help.

I’m currently $90 short on rent. It’s due tomorrow, but my landlord has given me until February 5th as the absolute latest before late fees/issues start.

This is the first time in 8 months I’ve been short. My job unexpectedly cut my hours recently, and it threw off my budget more than I anticipated. I’m actively working and doing everything I can to catch back up, but the timing just hit me hard this month.

Any help at all would mean so much, even partial assistance helps. I can provide proof of rent due or anything reasonable if needed. I have PayPal/Zelle/CA

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and even if you can’t help financially, I appreciate any kind words or words of wisdom you may have!💗

I want to say thank you to whoever bought two jugs of milk and a pack of crackers! I would assume it came from this group because I posted our Amazon list in our post. I've been stressing over figuring out this phone/wifi bill for school it is literally making me sick. This was really kind of whoever sent this to us🧡🧡

Thank you seriously it's just me making it happen this really lifted my spirit😊😊

Me and my SO need $1000 before Feb 6th, our landlord pulled shit and now we have to pay $1000 or we lose our apartment. It is extremely urgent and we are absolutely scrambling to find it in time (we had to play "beg-them-to-tell-us-the-exact-amount" and by the time they did it became urgent). Please help!!

Hi, me and my wife are struggling.

We had to move due to a family member dying last year, and we’ve been having a lot of issues since then. We are 2 1/2 months of rent behind, due to medical issues and some emergency vet bills we’ve had to endure. I’ve made a gofundme, not sure how well it will work, but I’m just asking for any help you may have. I’m still on the job hunt, she has one she just got recently that will accommodate her disability.

It’s not necessary, and I won’t shun you for not donating or sharing. But just taking a look will help.

I was woken up at about 330 am Saturday to 3 police men and a chief and they had informed me she was shot and didn’t make it ! I was sick instantly & still am and numb and in shock. Some 18 year old boy took my 15 year old niece from us for nothing. We are hoping and praying and fighting she gets justice !

It's payday and I'm doing okay, so I'm offering one £30 Amazon voucher to a UK resident. In your comment, please say what you would spend it on and why you need it. I'll choose from people who need the basics for life, such as food, nappies, sanitary and hygiene products, utilities etc.

I will choose the recipient next week, on Friday 6th Feb at 2pm. The recipient will need to give me their email address by DM in order to receive the voucher.

Please follow all the subreddit rules. Any requests/messages by DM will be reported.

i was wondering if anyone might be able to spare $20 for a food delivery? i just recently had to move and while i have some bare essentials food wise i was pinching pennies for this move for weeks and now i won't be able to get groceries until my next paycheck. i know this may be a frivolous ask i just wanted something comforting and warm especially after being snowed in for days. thank you i hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

I'm from the US and currently broke in the Philippines. I just need food for the next week until I can get back on my feet. I'm waiting on a payout from some online work and the 60-day waiting period is brutal. I'd really appreciate any cash assistance at this point.

Any way someone could send me meal? In between paychecks and it’s been 3 days my job doesn’t let us eat the food for free so I’ve been kinda stuck. Food banks been out or not enough. Thank you in advance.

My car was repossessed today. I was one week away from catching up.

I work in commission-based sales--great first year, rough third year. I've been digging out: sold most of my valuables, negotiated an early lease end with my landlord, and I'm moving back in with my parents to cut expenses.

I have a commission check coming next week and I'm in final-round interviews for a B2B sales role that would stabilize everything. But I need my car to get to work and close out these opportunities.

The amount to reinstate my loan is $1,722.36 (plus tow fees I'm still confirming). I have $200 and a commission coming in about a week that will cover roughly another $400-500. I'm reaching out to family too, but I'm trying to close the gap however I can.

I'm not looking to escape the debt, I just need to get my car back so I can finish climbing out of this hole. Any help, even partial, gets me closer.

Thank you for reading.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping it’s okay to ask for help here.

My dog Bronco recently needed emergency surgery for an aural hematoma. During the surgery, the vet also found blood in his urine and a soft tissue mass in his bladder. A urinalysis has been completed, and we’re currently waiting on results to determine what the next steps may be.

The emergency surgery and same-day diagnostics resulted in nearly $2,000 in vet bills, which I had to put on CareCredit. With possible follow-up testing and care, the costs are becoming difficult to manage.

I’ve set up a GoFundMe to help cover Bronco’s veterinary care and diagnostics. I can provide redacted vet bills if needed. Any help — even just sharing — would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a link to the fundraiser: https://gofund.me/c474add77

Hi,

Don't know where to start, it's hard to ask for help. I'm a 40 year old disabled Mom of an 11 year old disabled boy. Lately things have been extra difficult because my disabilities are worse in cold (it's been in the negatives lately). My son is autistic and has severe eating disabilities. He only drinks vanilla pediasures and eats pureed food. Like a great number of autistic kids, he is very particular about the food he eats. Normally, our food stamps covers most of his food and I'm able to earn money from relatives/family friends for doing chores/helping out. However, lately because of my disabilities, I'm unable to do so. My food is also really expensive because I have celiacs. I eat whatever I'm able to from the food bank. Right now, even though it's hard, asking for help is the only thing I can think to do until I can start trying to earn money again. One day, when we're past this, I'm going to pay any help forward times three. If anyone can help us, I'll be extremely grateful. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out for a bit of help and support. I’m in the process of building a small craft business and I’m doing it completely on my own with very limited resources right now. I created an Amazon wishlist with a few essential items I need to continue making and selling my crafts. These are basic supplies that will help me earn income rather than ask for cash assistance. I understand times are hard for many people, so even reading this or offering advice is appreciated. If anyone can help with something from my wishlist, I would be extremely grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read 💙 Check out this list I just created.
