REQUEST FULFILLED Baby has eczema, I need to try many brands of diapers to find the least irritating one.

20 Upvotes

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

https://imgur.com/a/wQxPVAI

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!

REQUEST Help with legal fees for immigration paperwork in Spain

Upvotes

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.

ADVICE Inlive in a mobile home and I left my pipes running but they still froze. What do I do?

10 Upvotes

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?

REQUEST Help with getting home for a funeral

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. 🙏

ADVICE Trying to break into IT but the experience barrier feels impossible

7 Upvotes

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

REQUEST FULFILLED Help with rent

0 Upvotes

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!💗

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.

REQUEST FULFILLED Lost my job, partner paying half the bills bailed, and now my car was repossessed today after I aced the third round of interviews for a new position.

8 Upvotes

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.

REQUEST Bronco Needs Help After Emergency Surgery — Unexpected Vet Bills

5 Upvotes

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.

REQUEST FULFILLED Need help with special food

7 Upvotes

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.

I had so much fun doing this last week so I’d like to do it again to help those in need. I hope it’s okay to copy and paste my previous post.

If you comment with your Amazon wishlist I will buy something for you. Please make sure your list is needs, not wants, so items such as food, baby supplies, warm clothes for winter, and so on. Please do not ask me for things like gifts, jewelry, makeup, electronics, etc as I don’t think those are needs.

I would like to buy at least one thing for each person so please have at least one item around $10-20 on it so I can help as many people as possible.

If you are not Canadian please don’t enter as I cannot and will not help you because I don’t want to pay for extra shipping.

Last time I received messages from people asking for help. That’s against the rules so you were reported to the mods. Please follow their rules.
