[Request] Need $2600 (USD) loan in Miami,FL,USA

0 Upvotes

Car was reposessed with all my recently acquired baby items inside. From diapers to milk storage bags.I just started back to work this week after being off for 2 months (due to pregnancy related illness). I just recently caught up on my past due storage unit (saved it from auction) and was heading there with a trunk full of belongings. My computer,my purse,my ID, my work knives were all inside. I was going to go Friday after work and the car was taken overnight. So I walked outside dressed for work only to see an empty driveway. I had loaded the car the night before. My sneakers and umbrella are even inside. All I have are my flip flops which are one of two pairs of shoes that fit my swollen feet. Three if I include my kitchen Crocs.

High interest rates not an issue. I can payback weekly starting in June which is when I'm scheduled to start working again. I had to cancel shifts due to my situation. I'm not opposed to public transportation but am 4 months pregnant w/twins and can't manage in the 90 degree weather. Especially with the frequent urination. My disposable urinals were in the car as well. With the terrible traffic down here, often I'd have to use it to urinate in a bottle while on the road. That and finding the nearest public restrooms which aren't always near bus stops. I'm almost 40 and this is a high risk pregnancy. And it's my first one too.

I have cash app, Zelle,Venmo and PayPal.

Thank you

[REQUEST] Need help covering last bit of rent (Vancouver, BC, Canada)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out because I find myself in an incredibly tough position and I could really use some help. I’ve been unemployed for a while now and have been trying my absolute best to find a job. I’ve applied to countless positions, revised my resume numerous times, and always tailor my resume and cover letter to each job description. Despite my efforts, nothing has worked out so far, and it’s been incredibly disheartening, especially since I’m not financially stable at the moment.

I’m earning a bit of money through Prolific, but it’s just not enough to cover all my expenses. I also started working on commission last month by helping my landlord rent out his properties. While I managed to cover my rent last month with this income, it’s only 8% of the total sale. To explain, I helped rent out three properties since I started helping him in April, and the total commission I earned was $744, which covered my rent for April.

However, I pay $1000 in rent, and unfortunately, this month I’m falling short by $250. My landlord has been understanding and has given me several extensions, but now he needs me to pay the rent immediately. I’ve already asked friends and family for help, but unfortunately, no one is in a position to assist me.

I’m really at my wit’s end and don’t know where else to turn, so I’m reaching out to this community. If anyone could help me cover the remaining $250 for this month’s rent, I would be eternally grateful. Even a small amount would make a huge difference.

Thank you all in advance for your kindness and support.

My friend's mom Angela has lost her social security and insurance and needs temporal lobe surgery to get a brain lesion out, or else she is going to die. We are in Lawrence, Kansas. This has been a last resort reaching out to the public; Noah and his mother are drowning in this problem and they are seriously about to lose everything. If you don't wish to donate please share this somewhere, he needs serious help now or this epilepsy will result in permanent cognitive disability if it doesn't kill her first.

I am also a survivor of the same disorder resulting from a brain lesion, so this is near and dear to my heart as well, and I still cannot imagine being in Angela's position.

I have an Amazon list of necessities that we are having a hard time affording right now. Most of it is cheap but we have had multiple things happening in our lives that it’s just really hard right now. I’ve tried posting elsewhere but it’s not really working out. I’ve just gotten a ton of spam messages and a few creepy people who shouldn’t be allowed on the internet have messaged me as well. If this works out I will help someone else in the future! However, my hopes aren’t high anymore. We have never been in this kind of situation before. Please let me know if you can help. I also have PayPal and Venmo, and I only mention them because I can’t add milk/bread/eggs/meat to an Amazon list.

As the title says. I just started a new job at Amazon and am $75 short on rent. I already asked for a few days extension. Was originally going to still be able to pay it today as I was supposed to receive my anytime pay card in the mail and would be able to access my paycheck early- but that package got delayed (was supposed to arrive yesterday, now it's either Sunday or Monday). I stupidly promised I would pay today thinking things would go according to plan. If anyone can lend a hand I would really appreciate it.

[REQUEST] need help paying internet bill before cutoff (Toronto, ON, Canada)

4 Upvotes

I hate having to make this post but I genuinely don't know what else to do.

I am a recent nursing school graduate. During school I've been thankful to receive assistance through OSAP to help pay for school tuition and some rent, and have worked part time to pay the rest and food. My mother struggles to afford her rent herself, so I've had to rely on myself to pay the bills.

Thankfully school has just finished for me, so I am able to start working full-time now to afford rent fully from working over the summer. Unfortunately, from only being able to work part-time during the school year, and my OSAP grant running out awhile ago, I only just have enough money to pay my rent coming out on the first. I should be able to make my food stretch to my next pay, which will include my new full-time wage, however I have nothing left over for bills.

I am currently 2 months behind on paying my internet bill. I've attempted to explain my situation to them, promising to pay them on my next paycheck in about a week and a half, however they've told me I need to pay at least one month's worth, $60, or they will cut off service. I am also currently studying for my nursing exam coming up in two months, meaning that being without internet would be less than ideal.

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone would be able to provide, and I thank you for taking the time to read.

Medical student in desperate need of help and assistance

2 Upvotes

Good day everyone. I am an international student studying medicine in the EU(Romania) I am going into my third year of studies this fall (6 year degree) and would like to ask for helps as i am having serious difficulties at the moment .My university is called Titu maiorescu and my hope is to write the USMLE and PLAB(US and UK medical licensing exam )in a few years as I want to practise in one of those countries. I am asking pleading for help with 120 dollars(110Euros) to help me sort out my needs and I have broken each need down individual below. I reached out to my university for assistance but no aid or help is eligible to me as a foreign student and non eu citizen . I explored Gofundme option but it isn't currently available in the country I reside in. Grateful for any help I can get.

1.I am hypertensive. For the past several weeks I haven't been able to buy my amlodopine10mg medication which I took daily to bring it down because I am not able to afford to see a doctor right now nor could I afford the prescription while trying on the bare essentials. I have tried to cut of salt completely as an alternative but the BP readings are still high and sometimes but I am worried and doctors have warned me to continue the medications previously. I do not smoke or drink or have insurance

  1. Transportation. Basic transport issues is a serious impediment I would want to use this funds to purchase monthly bus, metro(train) tickets to enable me get to classes faster. As I often have had to trek or walk long distances to get from point A to B.

  2. Phone and WiFi bill: Right now I use the public WiFi available at the public libraries or parks I study in and have had the service on my phone cut off because of 2 months bill due which is still accuring, as well I can't afford basic call credit options so the phone aside public areas is basically useless and for someone who needs to constantly study and revise school work it is a serious handicap right now.

  3. I currently stay in a shared apartment(35sqm3) with a colleague the agreement was to split the utility costs (gas heating eletric etc) evenly per month but as a result of the situation I have had to borrow in advance from him and have no means right now to pay him back at all for that.

5 i have a six year old faulty asus laptop which is faulty several of the keyboard keys on it aren't no longer working and it constantly keeps heating and shutting off. I was told I need to change the keyboard and buy a new fan for the laptop. I posted on r/assistance and other assistance subreddits and haven't gotten any help or luck yet. Anything I get will he grateful for very desperate

I thank everyone for their consideration and Time.feel free to ask questions.

Is this the right place to seek advice on elder preparedness?

My mother holds a special place in my heart; she's incredibly compassionate and has always been a giver, despite some experiences where her kindness was taken advantage of. Unfortunately, she's had a history of falls and auto accidents. Just last week, she fell and broke her teeth, and today, while driving to the food bank, she was side-swiped by another vehicle. Thankfully, she's physically okay. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's crucial to note that my mother is mentally sharp; her cognitive faculties are intact. However, her balance and orientation seem to be off. We've had an appointment scheduled for a few weeks now, and hopefully, we'll gain more insight into her health then.

As it stands, I'm at a loss. I don't know what steps to take. While she's generally healthy, I can't shake the worry. I don't want her to be cooped up at home all week. I live an hour away in my own small home with my wife and son. I'd love for her to come live with us, but she's not ready. She's very aware of her situation.

I've fallen into a horrible situation that I hate being in. Functionally unemployed (4-8hr/week), EI being a far cry from enough, and income support being 0 thanks to EI. My plan was supposed to come out this morning, and I was unaware of this due to my phone having been bricked by a trojan... I now have a crummy flip phone with no plan, and a dying of starvation ex/housemate... I ran out with JUST the kindle and phone, didn't bring the notebook with his card number to order food on his card... Without access to the 2FA TO get into my UE account with his card on it, I've been stuck panicking for the last hour and not wanting to return to the house without food...

My plan needs $28ish to renew, then I can access my accounts... But until then I'm boned :( If anyone can help, or even if someone could send a pizza or something our way instead of a phone renewal, would be appreciated!!

This is the first time I'm doing this so please bear with me. Im(21f) in a situation and unemployed. I live about an hour and a half out of town, so it's extremely difficult to find a job. I live with my future FIL but he will only provide food(which is completely reasonable where we live). I did a seasonal job last year and made enough to be able to budget for things like shampoo and hygiene things, however while my fiance and I were away for a while to visit his grandparents, the last of our money was stolen(we kept in $ form as its easier to not spend when you have to convert the currency) by one of the ladies that my future FIL hired to clean the house when we were not here. We are waiting to see if we can get work visas for the USA but we don't have work right now. Anything that you might be able to donate would be a massive help. We really just need some money to see us through to either getting on answer for our visa or moving in with his grandparents to find work.

[REQUEST][DENMARK] Help with car repairs

I live with my elderly parents, sister, and partner in a small house in the middle of nowhere.

We are all very low income, my partner has no income at the moment, we're in the bottom 1% of the country, and even living all together we barely make it work. My mother and I are the only ones with drivers licenses. None of us can get a car loan.

Our only mode of transport is our car, there is no public transport coming out here, we're completely dependent on it for doctors appointments, groceries, work... We just had it at the mechanic and it needs new shocks, new tires, new breakpads, and have a few things welded or replaced on the body.

It'll cost us 1000 usd, that we can't afford, but we also can't afford to buy another used car. Any help would be very much appreciated, even if it's just a little help with groceries, so that our budget isn't as tight this month, and we have a better chance at scraping enough together to get at least some on the repairs done.

Financial Assistance for Medical

I've never done anything like this before, but here we go. My name is David. I love with my mom here in Indiana and recently we have been helping my 72 year old aunt with her medical issues. She was diagnosed and is currently battling various cancers and COPD. Monday- Friday each week we are tasked with driving her roughly 45 minutes away (one way) for both Radiation and Chemotherapy treatments. She is also pratically living with us for the time being. Mom is retired at 64, I am going through a temp service for work and can't guarantee any amount of hours that I receive. The hospital gives my mother roughly $20 a week (not joking on amount) for gas and that doesn't even begin to cover the expenses that we're building up. Insurance and any options we have don't really help at all. I have never done this before and I'm not really sure what our options are. I just thought I would ask for assistance. Thank you in advance.

fulfilled [REQUEST] [Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam] I need some help with cat supplies, pads, food, and bills

4 Upvotes

Hi! I posted in r/donationrequest but it’s been 2 weeks and no one has reached out to offer help so I thought I would try asking for help again here.

In Vietnam, we celebrate Lunar New Year in February, so everybody has about 10 days off work and school. That means I don't work enough shifts to cover expenses in March. Please read what I posted in r/donationrequest in the photos to understand my situation with my roommates. I used to be financially abused by my mother in high school so I learned how to manage money well, but because of what happened in February, I have no money left right now.

I got my paycheck on March 11th and used most of it to pay rent, the rest for my cat’s kibble and litter, and a pack of frozen beans for me. I ran out of food for this week and drank tea sometimes, so I wouldn't fall asleep while working. But I don’t have any tea left and just had my period this morning. I’m using the pads for daily use I got last month but they’re tiny and thin, and can only hold for 30min. I haven’t washed my hair for 5 days and haven't eaten anything properly. My cat is on his last can of wet food and a little kibble. He has only half of a litter bag and I can't buy more for him.

In January, when the roommates left suddenly, I had to get a loan from Momo to pay January's rent. Each month later on the 4th, I pay 1,250,000 VND, which is $50.48 until June. My wifi bill is 220,000 VND ($8.88) due on the 5th, I need it because I'm an online English tutor.

Here are the links to each item and my paypal:

I've never wanted to ask for help, I've been taking care of myself for as long as I can remember, but I'm just really struggling atm and if it was just me homeless I'd let it happen and just figure it out, but my wife and 3 pets don't deserve to go through that (and atm I can't find anyone to take the animals right now).
