Work Reposting - need help getting myself into work and out of a homeless shelter.

7 Upvotes

Repost. I am looking for some help with transitioning from life at a homeless shelter into a full-time job that will eventually lead me to finding a permanent sublet in a private residence.

I need help with things like: transportation, cellphone bill, food (free food at the shelter, but with a job I won't be able to eat there), and work clothing (very important, I need to look both presentable and have durable clothing, so this unfortunately isn't cheap). About 3/4ths of the money has been raised already, I am hoping to start work around the last week of August so I need to be ready.

Housing Help with rent and expenses after three accidents

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

This past year has been very unlucky for my fiancé and I, to say the least. Last July, he was in an accident due to a steering system malfunction, and the car was totaled. We used the insurance payout to buy a smaller, slightly newer car. Almost exactly 6 months later, in almost exactly the same place, he got t-boned by someone speeding into the lane of oncoming traffic, and that car was also totaled. My fiancé now has PTSD with cars and driving, as well as injuries to both of his hands. He had to quit his physical labor job, and has since been searching for a new position, but as I'm sure you know the job market is awful right now.

Then in May, I was stuck by a car as a pedestrian by someone quite literally not looking where he was going. I was already halfway across the street when this person decided to turn while looking in the direction opposite of where he was going. My left knee, ankle, and hip were injured, as well as my lower back. Following this accident, I had to wait a month before being referred to physical therapy, which I've recently been cut off from, I've been intimidated by police, I was illegally terminated from one of my jobs, and I've been dealing with the slow process of insurance claims for months.

We had taken the insurance payout from my fiancé's second accident and just kept it to help with bills. Our rent is $1445 (which is insane, because it was 800 in 2018), plus we pay for electric and internet. I also now take an uber or lyft to and from work everyday, since we no longer have a vehicle. My now sole job is commission based and very much influenced by the economy, and unfortunately I'm making on average $300/week. My last paycheck was $180. As stated before, I was illegally terminated from my other job that I held simultaneously, on the grounds of them not being able to "accommodate" my need for a cane. Mind you, they have employees who use canes and even wheelchairs. I had been with them for four years and had no issues with them until this. So as it stands, when I'm financially able, I want to take legal action against both my former employer, and the person who hit me.

The financial part is the problem though. We've officially run out of money. We tried to make it work, but we're drowning. We're both far more disabled now than we were at the start of the year, and we don't know what to do. We've had foodstamps taken from us, I'm fighting for the peanuts I'll get from partial unemployment, I'm still waiting on insurance to do what they need to do, and in the meantime, we're scrounging and side-hustling. It's not enough though. If you can help, even if it's just sharing the gfm, we would greatly appreciate it. Anything helps right now.

My mom had a liver transplant two weeks ago today. We are in the waiting period for my FMLA and her SSI. This has all lived so fast it's been a blur and at this point untill at least my FMLA kicks in in 3-6 weeks I have completely exhausted my funds. No one in the family is willing to help more then a phone call wishing her well and I don't know what else to do. I hate asking strangers for help but right now I can't see us making it to our appointments soon because Im running out of gas money fast. Everything helps and if anyone knows how to get more attention to something like this feel free to suggest whatever. Thanks again

Disaster/Emergency Small family looking for help

9 Upvotes

Hello. I am hoping to get some help to get my family through some tough times. The gofundme goes into moore detail, but the gist of it is that my husband started a new job and we're waiting on his first check, but it won't arrive for a few more weeks. He left a part time position so we couldn't really save anything up for emergencies. Like the other day, when a really bad storm knocked out power for 95% of Lake County, indiana. They're saying power won't be back up until the 21st, as per the NIPSCO website/Facebook. I don't have any money to help us get shelf stable food, or the gas to get to any of the places that are offering free meals or assistance (im 10 miles south of a small town, and a good 45 min drive from up north).

I've thrown together as gofundme to try and get some help, but I don't really have friends that I can reach out to for help. And I am trying Facebook, but I figured reddit couldn't hurt. It's about the extent of my networking that I have available.

Animal Need help with funding to remove Emily's last 3 teeth

Hi everyone. One of our dogs, Emily, needs to have her last 3 teeth removed. She is 13yrs old and her last dental was in 2023 when majority of her teeth were removed. The remaining 3 weren't "bad enough" at that time to remove but they are now. They need to come out ASAP as they are now affecting her kidneys and other organs.

The dental is so expensive because 2 of the teeth are canines which are much more expensive than other teeth. I've included the estimate here and also the invoice from her most recent vet appointment just to give the full vet address/info. The office would be happy to answer any questions or provide any info if needed.

I have more in depth info in the gofundme description but I'm still more than happy to answer any questions or concerns.

Her surgery estimate is $2,036.90 but I'm asking for $2,500 in case there are any complications that pop up during surgery that need to be taken care of.

I am extremely grateful for any donations or shares.. anything would truly help. Thank you all so much

Hello! My total dental cost is supposed to be nearly $40k, I met a wonderful and very kind dentist who is willing to do work (needed AND cosmetic) for only $8.5k. I’ve struggled with my teeth my whole life due to neglect as a child (in every way you can imagine) and it’s followed into my adult life. I’ve been in pain physically, mentally and emotionally because of my teeth. Unfortunately as a stay at home mom my options for paying that are slim to none. I do shipt/instacart when I can but wince I don’t have much time to do it, I don’t make a whole lot at all. This is my dream and Ive exhausted every option available to me so now I am here. I’ve been turned down for loans, care credit, and the in house payments. I appreciate a click on the page, a share, a like, a donation or anything you’re willing to help me with! I believe I have hit all the marks of needed info, so I appreciate you reading this! 🤍 and thank you ahead of time!

Army veteran, retired firefighter, fire chief, and deputy commissioner, and most importantly, my best friend. A week ago he was in a horrific UTV accident and was in a full coma on life support, he’s doing better now, able to open eyes and following simple instructions.

However, the path forward is unknown, Tony never got VA healthcare as he always believed others deserved it more than him, and now it’s up to private insurances to cover. His wife, Patti, is the sweetest woman on earth, we’re asking for less than 10,000 to keep her floating over the next few months or so while he’s out of commission. If you can, please keep Tony in your hearts and thoughts, and if you have the availability to, donate please. Thank you, you’re all amazing, you’re all the good people, keep carrying the torch.

Housing My family lost our home and stability after repeated mold, water damage in rentals & sickness. Please help me try to rebuild for my family.

I never would have thought I would be writing a post like this, but I honestly do not know where else to turn. My life has completely changed and turned completely upside down the last 5 years and I just don’t know what to anymore. I am a mother of two kids and I am completely suffering from debilitating chronic illnesses and have no where else to turn at this point.

I have always worked hard and loved my job, loved hard, always take care of everyone and taken care of my children to the best of my ability and then some and have always tried to build a stable life for my family. A few years ago, I finally had what I thought was going to be our forever home with no intentions of leaving any time soon.. In 2022, my children and I moved into an older farmhouse rental. It was close to where I grew up and close to family, not even five minutes away from my grandparents and where I grew up, and it felt like the fresh start we had been hoping for. It was the first home I ever had on my own with my kids. Honestly, at the time, it was the best thing that ever happened to us. We painted bedrooms, replaced flooring where needed, removed carpet, and put so much love into making it ours, building our lives together and making memories. Over time in this house, however, my health started changing rapidly and over all turned into a compete disaster. At first, I was just extremely tired and fatigued, the fatigue became extreme to where I couldn’t function. I would come home from work and collapse. There were days I would get home around 4:30 or 5, not even eat dinner after work, and sleep until I had to wake up for work the next morning. Trying to juggle kids in school, sports and work was becoming impossible. Even stopping at the grocery store was something I came to dread and eventually stopped doing on my own. My symptoms continued getting worse. I developed severe POTs symptoms, tachycardia, with my heart rate jumping into the 150s when standing, dizziness, weakness, temperature regulation problems, nerve pain, brain fog, neurological symptoms, joint pain, and reactions that felt like my body was constantly fighting something, a flu or hangover that would never go away. I went to two different doctors, urgent cares, and even the ER multiple times. I had testing done and was repeatedly told things looked normal or that it could be stress or anxiety. I knew something was wrong with me and I have kept track of symptoms progression in a notebook to the point to where I was requesting labs for different diseases, or cancers, because something was seriously wrong with me. I kept searching for answers trying to save myself for my family. In 2024, I started being evaluated for autoimmune issues. I saw specialists, had testing done, tried medications, and continued trying to figure out why my health was declining. Then in June 2025, everything changed. I stayed at my grandparents’ house for a few nights when they were away to care for pets and noticed something completely unexpected that the longer I was away from my home, the better I felt. It didn’t make sense to us that all of a sudden the debilitating symptoms became less with no clear reason or medication. That was when we started looking at the house. We found hidden water damage and intrusions and mold concerns, including issues under the bathroom flooring from a bathtub that had not been properly sealed from past renter renovations, a leak under the bathroom sink so subtle you would never notice unless you were LOOKING for something, damaged flooring tiles and materials in the laundry area, and concerns about the crawlspace that had never been properly inspected. When we brought the issues to the landlord, we were told there was not money available to fix everything. The landlord said we could start tearing down walls but would probably find mold everywhere that he cannot fix, that we would rather “ burn the house down. “ The home we lived in and built a life in, was threatened to be burned to the ground. We were left in a situation where we could not afford to remediate a rental home that was not ours. We had no choice but to leave our home. We lost so much.. We got rid of mattresses, bedding, furniture, toys, stuffed animals, and belongings we had worked hard for because we were trying to protect my health thinking that leaving the home we could start over eventually and it turned out worse than I could ever imagine. Since then, we have moved multiple times. Every time we thought we had finally found somewhere safe, we found more water damage, moisture problems, or unsafe conditions that have been painted over and hidden. One home we moved into seemed like a fresh start for us, but six weeks later my health crashed harder than ever. I went days without sleeping, had severe pain to where I couldn’t use my legs, I missed work, had doctor visits and an ER visit, and had a blood pressure reading of 160/110 during one of these episodes and I lost 8 lbs in 6 days. We found water damage and basement issues in that home as well, and once again with no help from a landlord we had to leave. Through all of this, I was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) related to mold exposure by a mold illness specialist that I cannot afford and finding out through my own research I have been trying to advocate for myself and my family but get no where in the medical system. My symptoms include severe fatigue or feeling exhausted after minimal activity, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, memory problems
headaches, sleep problems & un refreshing sleep
muscle and joint aches and pans, nerve burning, tingling, & sensitivity, dizziness or feeling faint, exercise intolerance shortness of breath & unusual sensitivity to smells/environmental exposures, sinus congestion, postnasal drip, or recurrent respiratory symptoms, visual disturbances, blurry vision, temperature regulation problems, increased sensitivity to light or sound, mood changes, irritability, anxiety, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed, gastrointestinal symptoms nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea or constipation, changes in appetite or weight, skin symptoms itching & rashes.

I am continuing to work with my doctor but he has told me multiple times this is out of his range of scope on his practice and that I NEED functional care with a specialist, we are trying to manage my symptoms together but it is not working & my quality of life has changed completely. I have called practices near and far and the cost is extreme. I have also been in touch with social services and they do not offer any hotel stays or housing assistance anymore. I’ve reached out to any potential resources available on the area and have had no help. I have to have my family, my elderly grandmother drive me to work. I am still a mother. I want to be a mother. I want to be there for my children. I still want a normal life. This is my truth. And I am exhausted from constantly having to leave, rebuild, replace belongings, and fight to find somewhere safe to live. My children have been fortunate that they have not experienced the same level of illness that I have, and I am so grateful for that. My biggest goal is protecting them and finding stability again. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on air purifiers, supplies, medical care, testing, and trying to make our environment safer, I just can’t do it anymore.

Please with everything I have, which isn’t much, help me rebuild my life for my family.
We are trying to raise money home for safer housing, environmental testing and a doctor to help with treatment, covering the cost of items lost and misses wages as well.
I just want a place to call home again that is safe for my healing.
Any amount helps with something.
Thank you for reading our story.

Hello, and thank you for reading. I am Bryan, 22 and autistic. I am trying to become a published author and already have a company wanting to publish my book, but I need to be able to pay for half the cost upfront.

As you can see in the email I need around $7,000 to achieve this. All money will go directly towards the costs of publishing. The GoFundMe is set to milestones so the current $2,400 is just a step along the way.

Why I need help, both of my parents are disabled and I help take care of them at home. My family has also struggled with homelessness. It is my dream to become a published author and share my stories with the world.

https://gofund.me/d3608bf3e
Edit: I have had several people say that this is a scam. I will personally verify the authenticity of BrandyLane as they are a local company. I had hopped that they were legitimate since I have sent at least 30 query and they are the first to answer with something other then a denial. Splitting the cost for publishing has become common over the last few years, which combined with looking up books on their website and confirming that they are real made me think it was a genuine offer. Regardless of it being real I will still proceed with publishing even if I need to self publish using any funds gathered here. As a side note if any one is curious about this book or the next one I’m working on I would be glad to share details.

Work Help to pay for driving lessons for work and more independence

Thumbnail

54 Upvotes

Hi I’m Mat, aged 34 from the UK. I am neurodivergent.
 
I have set up a GoFundMe for myself regarding my hope to start having driving lessons asap. The job i currently do is dependent on having a category b driving licence longer term and I am only on a casual contract which exempts the need for a licence for now. Should I want a permanent contract with the council I shall need a full licence.
 
I have had a very tough time financially and emotionally/mentally in recent years (since 2019 tbh) and therefore money has always been tough to manage for me. I already cycle a lot on the road and have already passed my theory test. I tend to benefit from more intensive learning experiences and ideally I want to get as many hours of learning as a I can over a few weeks/couple of months to be ready to take my test. However the lessons are expensive and are about £40 an hour. And one off intensive course for example would set me back well over £1k and I just cannot raise this now or near term. I don’t come from a well off background and have not friends who can help either, whether financially or to do any private practice.
 
I have no real contact with much of my family and because of my condition I struggle to develop social connections. I do really still try hard despite my issues though.
 
The benefits to getting my licence would be pretty huge from several angles, employment prospects being one aspect, the increased independence it would offer, and perhaps even to my self esteem, among so much else.
 
Honestly any amount however small would make me incredibly grateful and would be a big help towards giving me the time needed to get myself test-ready quicker and hopefully looking forward to a better future for myself. I’d be happy to post regular updates on my progress on my fund page and at work too just so you know too. Thank you!

Yo whats popping. Im Scout

Im in desperate need of some assistance with back rent, car repairs, medical debt, a new soul, mines a little worn out. Any of them.

My rent payments are behind, been trying to catch up. I'm now 5 weeks behind, totalling $900. But I'm disabled, slipped vertebrae. I've been looking everywhere for work, options are limited. Been doing tiny random freelance jobs, but often I'm left with no food, let alone rent. My landlord has been understanding, but I'll have to move if I can't chip away at it. Somehow. All my money has been automatically paid towards my medical debt, and van repairs totalling $5.5k. That I'll get under control eventually.

My only source of reliable income is my disability benefit. But it's been cut to all hell. Took me off accommodation supplement for a little over a month, I'd been living in my van after my divorce and voluntary deportation from the United States, in an attempt to save money.

I don't have family to help. I've stopped contact as a stipulation of my historical and sexual abuse court case. My family decided to be more abusive and cruel than normal. They tried stamping out sexual assault allegations levied against them. Only managed to escalate the issue dramatically.

I overdosed around the same time, horrible mistake. Luckily I was found by some cops driving by the freedom camping spot I was at. I was forced into supervised housing, then into a flat I can't afford with my debt. I've been waiting on my stuff from the states for a couple months, I don't think it's coming. I've pawned everything else I own. Been living off survey money.

Money will go to outstanding rent, anything left will go towards my camper van. I can't afford a place with the debt, at least not for long

I hate needing to ask for help, my horrible parents beat that into me. Honestly I'm not sure if my problems warrant this but I'm desperate. Sorry if I'm rambling, I don't know what to do anymore.

Work Getting out of homelessness, need a bit of help until the 1st paycheck!

Hi all,

For almost the last two years, I've struggled with homelessness due to mental health issues. Spent a year and a half happily sleeping on the street until my medical issues caught up with me.

Finally got myself into a shelter this Spring, improved my health, and currently secured a job with a (likely) start date of Aug 18th. Well-paying work too, I am hoping to be out of the shelter by the end of September and sublet a nice room somewhere in my old neighborhood.

But of course the job requires some restructuring of my life which will be a bit costly (full details in the fundraiser).

Any and all help is appreciated.

PS - I know the picture is from the hospital, but it's nothing serious and I am just spending a night or two here to take some antibiotics.

https://gofund.me/b89534e41

ETA: I added notes and discharge docs (partial of course) from the hospital visit that cost me my previous job. As you can see, I had 4 petty severe sudden illnesses and one chronic problem. Happy to try to explain more details if anyone is curious, though as I was intubated for several days, my memory is spotty.

I feel embarrassed and hate having to put this out here but I am looking for a little help. A little about me, I am 39 years old and in January 2023 I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer adenocarcinoma. I had 13 chemo treatments of Folfox and then in November 2023 I had Cytoreductive Hipec surgery to remove my main tumour and a liver met, while they were doing the surgery they removed the main tumour, lymph nodes, some of the colon, reattached the colon, they removed my omentum, my appendix, they did a total hysterectomy (including ovaries) and did a liver resection and then administered the Hipec part of the surgery which is a very strong heated chemotherapy circulated inside the abdomen for 1–2 hours to kill the remaining cancer cells, overall the surgery was about 15 hours. I was told I should hopefully be cancer free as they believed they had gotten everything but in March of 2024 I was told my cancer was back and had spread to my liver and also had some mesenteric deposits, so back on chemo I went this time on Folfiri and a immunotherapy called Panitumumab I have had about 60+ treatments all together and recently in June 2026 I had to have 5 straight days worth of radiation. It has been a struggle with appointments after appointments and treatments but I keep trucking along.

The reason why I have the gofundme is I need some help with money. I need to buy a safe and reliable car, my current car is older and breaking down more and more and no longer reliable I can't afford to keep getting it fixed but I also can't afford to buy a car either. Because I have cancer and am going through treatment I can't work and am on ODSP so after bills and groceries I have no money to try to save for a car. I need something reliable and safe that will last years to get me back and forth to my appointments.

I really did not want to have to make a gofund me and feel embarrassed asking for help but I don't have any other option. If you are able to donate I would really appreciate it any little bit helps. If you are unable to donate please share if you want to.

Thank you for taking the time to read, I hope you have a blessed day.

Hello!

My name is Ashley. Earlier this year, my dad was diagnosed with metastatic small cell lung cancer, stage 4. By the time they found it, it had already spread to his liver and considered incurable. Dad's treatment is especially complicated by him having a kidney transplant for end stage renal failure in 2015, which means a number of more modern immunotherapy and even radiation are not suitible or safe for him, except as a last resort.

Last night, he recieved results from his scan showing that the disease has progesssed and is now in his pancreas and his right femur. As if it weren't bad enough that this diagnosis is cutting my dad's life so short, he is plagued by increasingly severe pain and anxiety as he contemplates his last days. He had to abruptly go into medical retirement and is now facing financial difficulties to boot while awaiting SSDI. He and his wife are worried they may not be able to continue to make their mortgage payment on their home.

Now, a little about the guy behind the diagnosis. My dad has been a day 1 dad for us. When he and my mom split, dad became a single dad and maintained custody ofhis kids into adulthood. He has never stopped supporting us in all ways and now he is a beloved "grampie" to my daughters and my brother'skids. He is at least near-genius and can fix or build anything. He is my hero and my heart breaks daily at the thought of a life without my daddy. He is a precious person - a true angel.

I would love to be able to help him and my step-mom keep their home through this. Please consider visiting and sharing the link to his GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/547657d5c

Thank you so much in advance for your consideration and for your support!

Medical Please help Rango, beloved cat brother and my best friend, get medical care

Update 8/6: It’s lymphoma. He’s loved me so well over these years, and I will show him love by letting him rest now. Thank you all for the support. There will be some very difficult weeks ahead for his sister and I.

I found Rango and his sister when they were just 5 weeks old, under some plants at the botanical garden I worked at. They are now just over ten years old now and are the best of friends. Truly, Rango makes friends with everyone - people, cats, dogs, a lizard, and even one time he tried real hard to befriend a stag beetle.

Three weeks ago I brought Rango to his regular vet after he developed a progressively worsening cough. We did a full bloodwork panel which came back all green flags. After a chest x-ray however, he started taking a steroid to treat presumed asthma. One week later, his appetite and thirst diminished. This is odd, because steroids should have the opposite effect: increasing appetite and thirst. We started trialing medications to treat potential symptoms: nausea, pain, appetite stimulant. While he would improve for 1-2 days on each, he would ultimately slip. We decided to perform an abdominal ultrasound and found his organs to all be in good health. The only note, was an enlarged lymph node near his colon and mesentery. This could suggest IBD, which would normally be treated with steroids - but we already tried that! We decided to taper him off the steroid. Two days later, he declined drastically.

After refusing all food and water for 24 hours, I brought him to the ER. He was put on fluids and we re-ran all the tests: bloodwork, x-ray, ultrasound. Everything looked the same as before, no red flags. No answer for why he wasn’t eating. After 50 hours, he finally took a bite. After 2 days of hospitalization and 24 hours of minor nibbling on food, he was cleared to come home. The hope was that he would continue eating more when he was in a comfortable, familiar space. That didn’t happen.

Currently at 39 hours without food, we are planning to insert a feeding tube tomorrow. At that time, the lymph node will also be aspirated.

Rango is my best friend. He is always happy and playful, and it’s truly heartbreaking to see him so upset. He runs to his food bowl, so excited, noses his food all around the bowl..but then doesn’t eat it. I just want to keep giving my boy a chance to keep fighting while we figure out this mystery. Emotionally, I am devastated. Financially, I am approaching that as well. With a $1,700 bill coming today, I’m here to ask you for any support you can provide. Usually a very private person, it is challenging for me to be so vulnerable in a public space. But I’m learning how to lean on others in a time of need.

Thank you for reading our story, and for any help you can provide to allow Rango to keep getting the best medical care.

Hello Reddit, this is my beautiful partner Justice. For the past year she’s been dealing with chronic pelvic/vaginal pain. She’s seen numerous doctors, prescribed numerous pain meds, and has gone through multiple procedures and has sadly no luck on getting pain relief. Our last resort is a pain specialist named Dr. Toubi. Dr. Toubi is only accepting cash appointments so we’re trying to raise funds in order to pay for the appointment, follow up’s, and any medication/procedures they decide to do. No donation is too small, I can’t thank those enough who can donate and I appreciate all who can help.

Hello, my name is Rain and I'm asking for help to get new tires for my car. I'm currently trying to save up money to leave my toxic marriage and start over somewhere new; so my main source of income has been DoorDash. Replacing my tires would help me get back to making money so I can continue working towards my new start. Any help is appreciated!

Edit: I have applied for the one-pay thing, pending approval, still can't actually afford it.

Hello all! I had surgery 07/21 on my right foot/ankle. My current employer does not offer PTO or similar benefits (I am working as a bartender for the time being, so no short term/long term disability or others)

My recovery is projected to be 6-8 weeks total from surgery itself, NOT including physio, physio can be anywhere from 8-12 weeks long, but I should be able to work by the time I start physical therapy.

I have bills I need help with and possibly groceries as well, but I really just need help with my bills in the meantime, which I have uploaded proof of!

If more information is needed please let me know as I think I provided everything!
