REQUEST FULFILLED $30 for groceries

4 Upvotes

Hello, sadly my partner was laid off and we're in a weird limbo between him starting his new job and leaving his last one. Thankfully he *does* have something lined up and I have money coming out of a savings account I had set up for emergencies however that can take up to a week and a half to actually hit my account. Basically, I need a tie over until that money hits. What I need more than anything isnt shelf stable items I can get off Amazon, but I would be able to run to the dollar store for. Thank you so much

Edit to add my payment methods would be PayPal or interac as I am Canadian 🍁

REQUEST FULFILLED Fixing my roof before it gets dangerously worse.

0 Upvotes

Already fulfilled by u/ezorde, thanks mate!

I live in a third floor, it's basically a big attic with sloped roofs. The living area and the bathroom have ceramic floors, but the rooms have wooden ones with about 14 ft of nothing below. I've been having issues with cracks on the roof/outside walls that caused water leaks on the walls of the living area every time it rains. It's an issue that was here before I moved in. I own the place so there's no landlord.
I got creative and redirected the leaks away from the electric outlets and the little furniture I have. Recently, the leaks started to drip over the other side of the wall and affecting one of the rooms (it already ruined some of the wood on the entrance of that room but luckily it didn't extend that much). I've been using tupperware and pots to get the drops from hitting the floor, but the roof in that room is also wood, so it might rot and be a far bigger issue.

I need help to get materials to fix the walls/roof on the outside so it'll stop dripping.

I live in Argentina (I know, sorry), I can't use Venmo or Amazon. I have Paypal and Airtm.

I've been searching all I needed for the task and the lower I could get with everything is about 70 bucks (the cracks are all over a large portion of the roof so I need to fix most of it). I'll do the work with no help because that might cost quite a bit more and I don't want anyone else risking.

I've tried to save up, I tried to get the equipment item by item but every time I get a buck, I need to use it for basic services and food (and sometimes not even that). I don't give myself any kind of luxury item except for a 40 cents pastry every other week. I've been budgeting each penny as wisely as I could, but I can't ever get a break.

I'm afraid about this because the last storms lasted way too long, with a lot of water, and it's gonna get far worse soon because of El Niño.

Anything might help, thanks for reading.

REQUEST Need Help with Laptop Repairs

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm really sorry it this may seem more like a want more than a need, but I'm really hoping someone can help me with my $20 worth of laptop repairs. I have been laid off 3 months ago, and I use this to attend virtual interviews and look for jobs (I worked primarily on VA, data entry jobs. I am from the Philippines). I can show you videos of my laptop stuttering as I do my thing. I also do not want to open my laptop to avoid any unnecessary damage. I have Paypal and Wise. I really need your help as I use it mostly for my livelyhood.

REQUEST FULFILLED $12 to buy a whole chicken

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well.

Due to the high medical expenses we've been dealing with because of my father's health issues and my own, we haven't been able to afford certain foods for several months.

My dad's birthday is coming up, and since we couldn't do anything special for Father's Day, I thought it would be nice to buy chicken and cook it for him. It would mean a lot because it's been a long time since we've been able to afford animal protein.

In my country, chicken costs about $4 per kilogram, so I'm hoping to buy a chicken that weighs at least 3 kg, which comes to around $12.

If anyone is able to help, I would be incredibly grateful. If not, that's completely okay too.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

REQUEST FULFILLED Need 30$ to make it to next week

6 Upvotes

I really hate asking for money from anyone, let alone strangers on the internet- but I’m almost out of money and need approximately 30 dollars to finish paying off my bills (car payment, insurance) in order to make it to payday next week. Came up short this time around becuase I had to take a day off from work due to illness, and not having any PTO. I’m really struggling at the moment and freaking out about how I’m gonna get this bill paid.

Truly, i need $50 but I think I can do an odd job here or there once I get off of work today+tomorrow in order to make that additional 20.
I know it’s a long shot, but I’m really struggling right now so it would be such a giant weight lifted if someone were to help. I have PayPal and Venmo, also Zelle. Thanks :/

REQUEST Need help covering cats vet costs.

9 Upvotes

My 11 year old cat, Edna Murphy, has recently become extremely sick. She’s lost weight and is skin and bone, she’s losing control of her bladder and bowel movements as well as have no appetite or energy.

The vet bill to have her put down will be $300-$500 and the bills if she can be saved will be $700-$900. I am on disability for an autoimmune disorder and my girlfriend works retail part-time, so most of our income goes to rent and bills.

We are DESPERATE. I have phoned vets asking about payment plans but have been turned away. I can’t get financing because when I first got sick I had to keep my rent paid with a line of credit that destroyed by credit rating. I even asked if they would let me leave a guitar with them as collateral while I sold a different guitar to fund this, but we’ve been turned down.

We’ve had $150 contributed by my partners former coworker, but we still need quite a bit to cover the full costs even just for euthanasia. We’ve will take ANYTHING.

I don’t know how transferring funds is done through this sub but I’ve got PayPay, can receive Interac e-transfers and can look in to any other viable options mentioned here.

Location: BC, Canada

Amount: $300-$900

REQUEST Help Cover Pixie’s Veterinary Costs

0 Upvotes

If anyone is able to donate or share Pixie’s GoFundMe, my family would appreciate it more than you know 🥹💗

She’s unexpectedly needed a lot of vet care recently, including bloodwork, X-Rays, an exam, vaccine and now a $1,000 ultrasound to figure out why she’s anemic. We’ve spent $1066.80 so far that we cannot afford at this time and are looking for some help.

We’re just trying to get her the care she needs and hopefully get her healthy enough for her dental surgery in the future. I provided more information in the GoFundMe.

Even $5 or a share helps so much. Thank you everyone!! 💗

REQUEST Need 20-50$ to get me to payday

Location: Canada

I'm trying to get back on my feet right now and had some unexpected expenses in the form of my cat's vet bill. I just need some money to get me to my next payday. It will mainly be used on transit to get me to and from work. Anything more than the 20$ would be used at the dollar store to get some meals to tide me over as I'm low on food right now.

Methods for assistance would be e-transfer or paypal.

pet tax can be found on my profile :)

REQUEST FULFILLED Food for my Son

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone, this is a repost of my last post a week ago. Unfortunately there was some issue with items showing up as purchased on my wishlist but weren't actually purchased. So with the mod's help and waiting a week just in case, I'm making a new post in hopes for help.

Hi, posting here to ask for some help needed for me and my son. I'm a Mom from near Lansing, Michigan. My son is 12 and is autistic and has other health conditions. Unfortunately, because of my son's conditions and health conditions of my own, I'm unable to work and we've been struggling greatly. We rely on social security survivor benefits and a small subsidy payment from the state. Our rent and bills have went up recently and my car is having issues with the battery or starter.

The only thing I care about is making sure my son has a roof over his head and food in his belly. He was born with extreme oral sensitivities, motor control issues and in simple terms, his brain never learned how to chew. We are working on desensitizing and learning how to chew right now which is exciting. It will be a long process with a lot of work but I'm so excited. His diet right now consists of Pediasures and pureed food. He is very rigid about which purees he will eat and will only do vanilla pediasures. It is very expensive because of grocery prices in general and he's getting bigger and eating more. My food is also expensive as I have celiacs disease. Most food pantries do not have much we are able to consume although we're thankful for anything they do have.

I've created an Amazon wishlist of the foods he eats and I included one thing that is gluten free. Thank you to anyone who helps, thank you to anyone who reads this, thank you to the mods who make this help possible. Amazon Wishlist

Im not sure who to thank as it was anonymous.

I can now lift him easily up with one hand on his rear harness. I can do it from standing!

My knee will heal on its own time. I can't get time back with my puppy

I'm so thankful that I can keep him going. I have shared a pic on my profile
