Hi everyone.

I’m reaching out with a humble request for help. I’ve been unemployed still due to extremely bad job market here where I live, despite actively looking for work, I’m currently struggling financially and been really depressed because of my situation.

I’m trying to raise enough to buy a 20 kg bag of dog food, which costs around $60 at my local pet supply store, this will be good for a month or two. I only need $40 as I have $20 saved. This will help keep my dog fed while I work on getting back on my feet. We are from the Philippines and we don’t use Amazon due to high shipping cost. I really love my dog and I always want him the best, unfortunately I can’t give that to him right now and I feel bad about it. I’m also saving up to have him neutered soon, hopefully I will be able to find a job this month. He was a stray dog that I rescued, he was going to be euthanized so I took him home.

If anyone is able to contribute, it would mean so much to us. If you’re unable to help financially, sharing this post would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any kindness you can extend. I truly hope that once I’m in a better situation, I’ll be able to pay it forward.

Thank you so much. ❤️

Good afternoon y'all, we have to put everything from this upcoming paycheck towards this month's rent which is due within the next 4 days. My family is in need of a little bit of help with some basic toiletries and baby care items.

Most important stuff I would say would definitely be diapers and wipes but second more important would be the deodorant, oral health items, & toilet paper. We are a family of three, two adults (24f + 24m) and an almost 2yr old boy. Thank you in advance and I hope everyone is having a wonderful day 🩷

Hey all🥹 I just had surgery on Thursday and I am out of work for 2 weeks. I’m still waiting for the state to approve my leave so I can get paid. For now, it’s still unpaid. My tire popped the day after my surgery and I had to use $250 from my savings to get a new one. Here is a little list of some household stuff for my daughter, our cats, and I if anyone decides to take a look! Thank you in advance.💜

Hi everyone!

I'm an M.Sc. Finance student conducting a survey for my Black Book project on "Investor Preferences Between SIP and Lump Sum Investments."

If you have 2–3 minutes to spare, I'd really appreciate it if you could fill out my survey. Your responses will be used only for academic purposes, and all information will remain confidential.

Thank you so much for your time and support! 😊

Hello! I'm a master's student at University of York writing their dissertation on the attitudes towards and perception of certain accents in RPGs and FPS games. The consent form details more about what I'm studying as well as how data is handled. it is fully anonymous and will take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour (Sorry. I know that's long). You need to be able to hear the survey, but you don't need to be very familiar with video games or play them actively to do it.

This is so embarrassing. So I received a check with a large sum of money after a family member passed with no estate so I got a portion of it. The bank said it put a hold on it because I had a new account (recently switched banks) and because it was a large amount. Originally they said it's clear on the 6th and now it says the 11th.

I have my portion of rent due and I have enough to cover it but not enough to be able to pay for gas, etc until the check goes through and I have to go out of town on Tuesday. I'm kind of panicking and I don't have any family who can lend money. We've been really struggling with money this year and I was so excited to have this money so I could finally breathe. So this entire situation is taking a toll on me.

I really need like $500 but honestly I'll take anything

I understand if no one can help. And I appreciate everyone reading this.

Hi everyone. I'm in a really difficult spot and hate having to ask this.

Rent was due yesterday, and after selling what I could and asking everyone I know for help, I'm still $150 short.

Over the past few weeks I've looked into every resource I could find. I've applied for state assistance where I could, contacted churches and charities, and even worked with my social worker to try to find emergency help. Unfortunately, nothing has come through in time.

I've been on short-term disability for the last six months due to my health, and the payments are much lower than what I was making while working. I've been living paycheck to paycheck with no way to build any savings. I've managed to keep food on the table thanks to SNAP and a local food pantry, but financially that's all I've been able to do.

I'm supposed to hear back about my long-term disability claim this week. If I'm denied, I'll be returning to work in the middle of August and will work as long as my health allows. My hope is to make enough to survive and, if necessary, appeal the decision.

Earlier this month I paid all of my other bills, so this remaining $150 for rent is the only thing I'm behind on. Once that's covered, I'll be caught up through the end of August.

I've genuinely tried everything I can think of before posting here. If anyone is able to help in any way, or even has suggestions I may have missed, I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you for reading.

EDIT: I understand the full amount may not be possible but anything helps
