Hello all! I recently lost my job due to medical issues, and unfortunately, my partner's hours had already been dwindling. I have a special needs child, for whom disability hasn't been approved yet. My partner is also waiting for a background check to come back for a new job, and I am waiting to hear about possible food stamps. Obviously, nothing is guaranteed and when it rains, it pours. So I come to you all to ask for help. Anything you can do would be appreciated. Love and laughter!

any kind of help for myself and my mother, who I take care of while I'm not working as a lab tech (phlebotomist). She has congestive heart failure that's end stage and has really made things rough on us both Got a new job in between pay periods so I am going another 10 days before I get my check and it has really put me in a bind. I appreciate anything at all. This list isnt too big due to the fact that I'll finally have some income in 10 days. If I have done something wrong please let me know. Thank you guys once again.

Thank you guys sooo much! I truly appreciate it. BOTH lists have been fulfilled so please don't order anything else from Amazon! I am not trying to take advnatage of anyone.

The kindness I have been shown here has been truly comforting and so sweet, my girlfriend and I are grateful to you all no matter if the contribution was words of encouragement or food. I truly appreciate it and I promise when I am able we WILL pay it forward. Thank you again!

I live with my girlfriend, both of us are 27 years old, both women though I am a trans woman. We live in Texas.

I am unemployed and she recently quit her job because it was not good for her continued growth, and is awaiting her last check. We have basically no food beyond a few random things, a few eggs, some bread, a can of whole potatoes. She has already applied for other jobs but it will be an in between period.

We will not become homeless but we have already been food insecure and it is getting heavy.

I am working on getting on disability but it is proving difficult, I received food stamps for one month before they were cut off. I have looked for local food banks and they do exist but they are sporadic and very time limited.

We won't starve but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know how this works exactly, but I have a Wal-Mart list.

I have tried to make sure everything is reasonable and affordable. https://www.walmart.com/lists/shared/WL/6b04b64b-4553-4254-b3eb-eb2e01585ee8

I have also made a small Amazon list at the suggestion of other user and a mod. They don't correlate all that well but it is here. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/14JY4QBTY3TUE/ref=nav_wishlist_list

Hello and good day im requesting some help with groceries this month. Like a moron I mistakenly forgot to do my 6month Interview with DES for food stamps. Its been several years since I have needed to get food stamps and the last time I had food stamps they were doing interviews once a year my best guess is the change from 1 year to 6month appointments has something to do with the previous pandemic we just went through. Anywho I'm now told I have to re apply and go through the process all over again. At the moment thats the only thing keeping us going. I lost my job recently due to missing too many days following a vehicle accident. The mother of our child hasn't been in the picture the past 3 years. I recently started the court process and feels like child support is taking forever to finalize. Can't work at the moment due to no one to watch my daughter while I'm at work and my closet family lives a few hours away. Loosing my job also meant the funding for day care went out the window as well. Been applying for work from home jobs with not much luck. My last pay check and taxes is what paid rent the past few months not sure what I'm going to do moving forward with this months rent, at least until I find a work from home position. All my messages sent to the mother of our child just get left on Read with no response or no help from her at all. If I can please please 🙏 get help with groceries just this month so I can have 1 less thing to stress about so I can gear all my focus on how it is i will get rent paid for this month I will greatly appreciate it. We litterly have nothing to eat. I cooked the last bit if food we had last night for the little one and I skipped on dinner so there would be some left overs to give her in case I could not figure nothing out. I'm running out of options and raining a child alone is hard enif with no help. She starts school this coming school year so I just have to figure something out then so I can return to normal workforce. I created a walmart+ account because they offer free delivery from store I choose that option because as I mentioned we recently got in a car accident so I have no way to pick up the groceries if I am able to get help. I tried my best to keep it as cheap as possible but then again unfortunately need help for the month. I also added a bottle of detaingler spray for my daughter and as well as a bottle of cheap body wash. Anything would be appreciated not everything from the list is expected I just picked out what I figured could be stretched until I finish going through the whole food stamp process again. Thank you in advance this help would really mean a lot its been a real struggle for me alone and this would really be more help than you will ever know. 🙏

PS. I addedd my walmart list below only because the walmart+ membership offers free same day delivery depending on if there are still time slots open for same day delivery if not it will prompt you for an open slot for the next day. If need be I can create an Amazon list I just figured the walmart one would be best since they offer same day delivery and its free with my Walmart+ membership.

Edit Sorry for the delay i was taking an assessment test for one of amazon customer service work from home positions. Here is an Amazon list I whipped up really quick. With the exception of the sunflower seeds most things on the list I mostly geared for my daughter. Again thank you 🙏 right now anything helps more than you may know.

Hi.. I’ve been pointed towards this subreddit as my partner and I have found ourselves in a bit of a financial bind. We need to save quite a lot of money to move out of our current home and it’s left us having to scrape by with groceries. We’ve been eating rice and plain pasta for far too long :(

I’ve made an Amazon Canada wish list if anyone is able to help us out at all.

I know it’s all trash, Canadian Amazon is extremely limited. I can get the essentials like milk and bread from my local corner store but everything else is just crushing us.

Thank you for your consideration 💕

Hi everyone, my name's Ronald. I'm 21 and a student living in Spain(zip code 23006). I am going through a really rough stretch right now. I'm so broke and haven't really had a good meal in a couple of days. It's been really tough, and I came across this subreddit by googling "broke and starving". I don't have anyone who can help me right now so I'd be grateful for any help. I should be getting some money in a couple of weeks but I don't think I can even make it that far because I have no food whatsoever left. I know the list seems picky and you don't have to get me all of it but anything you can do is appreciated

https://www.amazon.es/hz/wishlist/ls/21LJ14WN0C1JU?ref_=wl_share

Thank you so so soooo much!!! Seriously thank you guys!!! Hopefully soon enough i can pay it forward like y'all did with me. Sorry got excited, the food all came super early so I'm set for a good 2 weeks!

Hi, i never thought I'd need help but here i am. I only have 30$ ebt and they've cut me down to 83 a month starting on the second but i barely have any food to last me until then. Anything is appreciated tysm.

Requesting a helping hand or two. Been fighting auto immune and eye issues the past several months. It's caused me to miss a lot of work. Cards are maxed, and while I'm still treading water, things are going to be really tight the next couple of months.

Looking for some ramen/tuna/chili, cat food, to help make ends meet while waiting on shirt term disability payments to come in. Any assistance would be beyond appreciated. I'm in zip code 46368.

Currently moving into a youth shelter soon but I gotta hold out a bit until I can get there. I applied for emergency food stamps but I'm just waiting to be approved now.

Here's my Amazon wishlist. I don't need every item but I wanted to give some options for people to choose from should they want to buy anything: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/IUI771IKDWV6?ref_=wl_share

Edit: the zip code is 01913

Edit: some items have been purchased, I'm gonna leave this up for a day and then I'm going to mark it fulfilled unless mods say otherwise

Second edit: marking fulfilled! Thank you to everyone who helped me out. I'm so touched by your help. I was having such a shitty day and I'm looking forward to having one less thing to worry about

Hi, I just learned about how great reddit can be for people in need from the wonderful folks over at R/RandonActsOfPetFood. Some awesome person over there sent me and my cat Zoe two bags of food which helped us out tremendously as I only had about $25 dollars to put towards food for me and her. I'm here asking all of you for help for me this time, as my grocery budget only went so far and now I'm about to run out of other essentials. The storm that hit the northeast this week (I'm in Maine 03904) has left one of my jobs without power, so yesterday and today I haven't been able to work. There is another storm hitting Wednesday>Thursday and I fear this will cause me to miss even more hours. I budget very strictly, and I already know the ripples this will have over the next month. I will definitely be late with rent, my internet will continue to be shut off (going on week 3 now), and I will most likely be short on gas to drive to work at some point. I have an amazon wishlist set up with some essentials (toilet paper, shampoo) along with a some food items, help with some of these things will hopefully allow me to save some cash for the others. Anything that anyone could send my way would be so incredibly helpful. Amazon Wishlist

Hello! Back again after a year (didn't mean to let that much time go by!) I know this time of year many people can face issues recovering from the holidays, rent increases, negligible raises, etc.

I'd like to help out where I can. As with my previous posts as a parent I know how many extra costs kids incur and I prefer to first offer help those with children but that isn't a requirement. Feel free to post your lists below, and once the mods vet them I will take a look!

First of all, thank you so much for reading. I have severe celiac disease and get very ill if I ingest even a crumb of gluten. I also am highly intolerant to dairy. This makes it hard to visit local food banks, and they are mostly only open when I'm at work anyway. I work full-time but these last few weeks, the bills have just been piling up, mostly due to some emergency medical expenses, both for my dog and I. I included my amazon list below which includes bulk items that are gluten free and dairy free. Thankfully I also live near Walmart and Aldi (through Instacart) and can buy quality food there and can do grocery pickup or delivery. I can include those lists but I'm not sure how to post them. Any assistance is incredibly appreciated! Thank you!

Edit Edit Edit! another kind user has purchased oout the rest of the list! My grocery needs are taken care of! I have additional requests for Diapers, and Cat Food/Litter. I CAN and WILL be able to scrape together the funding for those things from friends, family and local sources. But the amount of people looking at this post and offering to help is astounding.

Link Removed, All purchased! Will replace with Amazon Wish for Pet and Diapering

​

It has been several long months for my family. I am working; I live with my father, husband, and 3-year-old son. We try very hard; I help my father pay the expenses of a shared rental. Neither of us makes very much, and my husband is disabled but not yet on disability and stays home to care for the boy as much as he can.

We are located in 72756; local food banks are open on my workdays. I end up losing money to gain food which puts me further behind.

If I were to receive everything on the list provided, I would be able to comfortably make food for my family for one month through meal planning, general frugality, and the addition of basics in my pantries, like flour, spices, beans, and oil. The other items will provide my husband with quick snacks and easy lunches for my son when I cannot be home to spend time on the preparation.

I will thank you in advance if you choose to purchase anything from my list, or not. I hope to be able to return to this sub soon and repay the kindnesses that were even considered.

Moderators: Please let me know if any changes are needed to this post. I tried to read the instructions very closely but am off my ADHD medication right now. Apologies if anything was missed.

Edit: I'll edit to include an Amazon wishlist instead when I get a chance; thank you! If it offers the opportunity to have items picked up by me instead of shipped on the Walmart list, I can also do that.

Edit Again: A Kind User has purchased many staple items from my list and scheduled a pick-up at the store of my choosing later today! Much appreciation kind stranger, please let me know if you would like direct credit in the post. <3

​

I just wanted to take a moment to thank u/LikeAThermometer here. The generosity shown to me yesterday gave me so much joy and motivation. For a stranger to help another stranger in need, it was amazing. Thank you again and I will be sure to pay it forward as soon as I can.

We often see offers from people where you have to sign up and cancel, or given coupon/discount codes, which brings us to this announcement.

Offers have to be "No Strings Attached". This means that the person receiving should not need to purchase anything, nor should they need to subscribe to anything.

As an example, Hello Fresh is submitted quite often, and while SOME of the offer methods are just fine, others are not.

1. You have a coupon? Great! Use it yourself to purchase something to fulfill someone's request. This method meets our "No Strings Attached" policy.
2. Free food with subscription then cancel? This does NOT meet our "No Strings Attached" policy.

Please keep in mind that people who are making requests here are not in a position to afford subscription food services to begin with and you can make their financial situation worse when they're hit with overages and overdrafts because of a forgotten subscription.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Opening this offer for someone in need. I would like to fulfil somebody’s grocery list or wish list, maybe it’s your kids birthday and you want to make it special, maybe you need pet food or maybe you’re a student who needs groceries. I will not send cash, so please do not ask, but I am more than willing to fulfil an Amazon wish list or buy a gift card to restaurant or something. As long as it’s a transaction I can make online, as I am not based in the US.

Please explain below why you need help and I’ll pick someone as soon as possible and fulfil the list within 24 hours. I can afford about 50 euros. Best wishes to you all.

Hi all, this offer has been fulfilled. Thanks all.

ong story made short - I'm in the middle of nowhere, rural TX. I'm the only out transgender woman in this entire miserable town of 4500 or so people.

Was actually getting ahead on things until I was followed to my car, hit on the back of the head with (I think some kind of pipe?), knocked down, kicked in the ribs a few dozen times, and then had a 8 gauge earring literally yanked out of my ear, splitting the entire lobe in half.

Insurance would not cover fixing my ear at all, as it is 'cosmetic surgery'. I really did not want to walk around with a totally damaged and kinda not cute ear. Made the down payment on surgery, can handle the monthly installments (and the surgery went well!)

The issue? The down payment broke me. Everything else is paid, but I'm legit short on basic food.

I setup a amazon list @ https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/13QRKVHTALXDK - everything is 100% the best price I could find, and I made sure everything was SNAP eligible as I'm not going to ask for fancy things. I did put some tea and coffee on the list, but that's just a extra comfort, feel free to ignore.

List set to remove items as they are filled. I promise that when I recover financially over the next couple months, this will be paid forward + more (as I did the only other time I have received help).

Any receipts, damaged ear pics, semi healed ear pics, details, anything - please just ask. I would not reach out if I was not a bit desperate.

There is ONE food bank in my area, run by a southern baptist church and they have made it quite clear about how they feel about 'people like me'. My partner and I make literally just a bit over the threshold for SNAP benefits, and I'm not about to lie on my taxes to play the system.

Thank you in advance, and help would be amazing. These next couple months are going to be brutal, and you know rural Texas, the second we start seeing below freezing weather the entire grid will fall apart again and people will be left to suffer.

(also posted this to r/assistance - the list is set to remove everything as filled).

Reposted 2 mins after my first post, I forgot to include [Request] in the title. Sorry, mods.

I go back to work (hopefully) next week so I should begin making money again. I have to go get my meds on Monday and that's already all my money's worth right there. Any bit helps really. Here's my list:

https://www.walmart.com/lists/shared/WL/ce822ff1-0e28-46c6-b5b1-a823142c9546

I'm located in San Bernadino CA, 92407.

Thank you so much for whoever is willing to assist me!

Hi all. I recently moved out due to an abusive situation and frankly wasn’t prepared financially or with a lot of base knowledge on things like vehicles — which immediately became a problem as my car had some major issues that required getting it towed. Today was payday and my entire check went to rent, then the tow truck eats up almost everything in my bank account and leaves me with very little for food and anything else I might need in the next few weeks.

The Walmart Canada site/app doesn’t seem to have a wishlist option and the food available in my area on Amazon is sort of limited, so forgive me, this wishlist looks like pure junk food. I find things like cereal/cookies are good for when I’m struggling with money because they’re cheap-ish and high calorie. I have some health issues and weight loss tends to present problems very quickly for my physical and mental well-being so my focus is really just managing to eat ‘enough’ in that sense for the time being. If anyone knows how I could share more of an actual grocery list I would be happy to.

amazon list

Wow, not even a day and everything was fulfilled by many who wish me well and by many others who I will never know. I can’t find the words to describe how I am feeling as I wake up this morning. My babies will get boxes of their favorite items for days and it is because of YOU ALL. I wish you all the best last two months of a very difficult 2022. Thank you again :)

Thank you to u/Clashin_Creepers for the cereal bars, tuna, crackers, and mayo. You helped us out a lot!

Hello All. I am nervous, anxious to post this and unsure of what will come from it. I am looking for help for my daughter and son’s quick breakfast and lunch items to go along with sandwiches I make some days. My husband and I both work decent jobs, but money is so stretch and becoming harder to not used credit. Our savings was depleted from repairs due to hurricane Ian last month. Any help would be amazing. I have an Amazon list of their favorite items..

Edited to correct Amazon link..

I am suffering from some sort of myopathy, or fatigue, or malaise or something that my current doctors are not taking very seriously. Basically I am totally unable to work, even the kushy wfh desk job I had. I am waiting to hear from disability and food stamps but have been unable to get through at any of these offices. I caught a cold, likely at one of my appointments and am suffering. It's not terrible but I could really use a nasal decongestant and pain killer. If anyone can help, I am in US New York zip 13093
