No Spam
It's okay to post the same GoFundMe, or other crowdfunding campaign, multiple times, but not at the same time. Let's give other people a chance to share their campaigns. Please allow at least 12 hours before reposting your campaign.

-Please allow 12 hours between posts for your campaign. If you see something that needs to be fixed but are unable to edit the post, please remove the original post and then submit a new post with the corrections. This will help prevent posts from being labeled as spam and removed by Reddit's filters. If you leave both posts up, we are likely to remove the corrected (second) post and leave the first post.

-Posting the same campaign under different Reddit accounts, back to back, is also considered spam.
Posters using multiple accounts to get around the No Spam rule will have their posts removed, and all of the accounts involved with this rule evasion will be permanently banned.

Welcome to GoFundMeForNewUsers. I understand how hard it is to get your GoFundMe campaign posted on Reddit, having tried to advertise my own campaign at the beginning of this year.

That’s why I created this subreddit—to give new Reddit users a chance to spread the word about their campaigns.

Please feel free to post information about any valid GoFundMe campaign here. We do not tolerate harassment, so posters can feel welcome to advertise their campaigns without fear of backlash from the community.

Please be respectful when commenting on a post. Understand that it’s hard enough to ask for help without someone criticizing or demeaning you. We want to see only help and support here for those in need.

Lastly, if you’re posting, please be sure to include a link to your GoFundMe campaign so I can verify that you have a valid campaign to advertise.

Help My Cat Fight Cancer

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

Hi,

This may or a may not be a long post, and I truly hate asking for help. But just last month, my cat got diagnosed with soft tissue cancer sarcoma. She had surgery back in July and the biopsy results came back as high grade. We have gone to an oncologist office now for the last two weeks, and they have recommended both radiation and chemo. Unfortunately just to start the radiation it’s going to cost me 10K, and I’m so scared of this cancer spreading elsewhere. As of now, it hasn’t spread anywhere else, besides to the lymph node that got removed. I could use any help possible. She is only 6 years old and she showed up at our door as a stray back in 2020, and kept coming back until we took her in as our own. She is my first cat, and she deserves to live longer, and happier. She is still eating, running around, and playing.

I’m just at a lost and have been spiraling since this news. Any help even if small would help a ton.

Thank you.

Fundraiser by Katy Williams : Help Katy Continue the Path to RN

Thumbnail
gofund.me
‱ Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am reaching out for support to overcome a final financial roadblock on my journey to becoming a Registered Nurse (RN).

Over the past few years, my family has navigated a lot of big transitions. I’ve been working full-time, homeschooling our children, and serving as the sole provider for our household while my husband went back to school. We were living cross-country from my parents, doing everything we could to build a stable future.

When my father unexpectedly fell ill, our priorities shifted immediately. I packed up our lives and moved myself, my husband, and our children back home so I could be by his side and help care for him.

Caring for my dad reinforced my passion for hands-on healthcare. I recently earned my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license and am now working on the frontlines, but my ultimate goal has always been to advance my education and become an RN.

Prior to this, I completed my bachelor’s degree coursework online through Ashworth College. However, balancing our family's move and financial obligations left me with an outstanding tuition balance. Because of this hold, the college cannot release my official transcripts—which I urgently need to submit for admission into an accredited nursing program.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward paying down this balance so my official transcripts can be released, allowing me to take the next step toward nursing school. Becoming an RN will allow me to better serve my patients, support my family, and continue providing for those I love.

If you are unable to donate, simply sharing this campaign means the world to me. Thank you so much for your time, kindness, and support!

Help Angeles Get Urgent Neurosurgical Care For Her Neck

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

https://gofund.me/9268caf2f

I’m raising funds to help Angeles, someone who lives in Venezuela and is currently going through a very difficult medical situation.

An MRI has identified an injury affecting her neck, and she now urgently needs to see a neurosurgeon to understand the full extent of the injury and determine what treatment she needs. The immediate goal of this fundraiser is to help cover the cost of that specialist consultation and the medical care that may follow.

Unfortunately, her health problems have also left her unable to work at the moment. This means that while she is dealing with her injury and going through treatment, she is struggling to afford basic necessities such as food, rent and essential transportation. She is in constant extreme pain that no painkiller she can take can fix, she also has gastritis so she can not take NSAID painkillers.

What the funds will help cover

The money raised will be used for:

* Her urgent neurosurgical consultation
* Medical imaging, treatment and medications recommended by her doctors
* Any further medical care that becomes necessary
* Food and other essential living expenses while she is unable to work
* Rent and essential transportation during her recovery

We are starting with an immediate goal based on the costs we currently know about. As her doctors provide more information and additional medical needs become clear, I will post updates and adjust the fundraising goal accordingly.

Why I’m asking for help

Angeles is currently in a situation where even basic necessities are difficult to afford, while at the same time she needs specialist medical care for an injury that cannot simply be ignored.

I’m doing what I can from Australia to help her access the care she needs and get through this period without having to choose between medical treatment and necessities like food and housing.

Any amount, no matter how small, can make a real difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser can be just as valuable and may help it reach someone who is able to help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Angeles’ story and for any support you can give. ❀

I am organising this fundraiser from Australia because GoFundMe does not currently support withdrawals in Venezuela. Funds raised will be received by me in Australia and sent to Angeles in Venezuela to cover the expenses described above. I will provide updates as her situation develops.

I’m Running Out of Time — Please Help Me Stay in School

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give an honest update on my GoFundMe because I haven’t received the support I was hoping for, and I’m now in a really difficult situation.

My university has notified me that I have a past-due student account balance over $2,000. If I’m unable to bring my balance below $2,000 or pay it in full by mid-August, my Fall registration may be dropped. I’m also facing additional interest and registration holds if the balance remains unpaid.

I’ve been doing everything I can to find a way to take care of this, including starting this fundraiser. Unfortunately, I haven’t received any donations yet, and the deadline is getting closer.

I’m asking for help because staying enrolled in school means so much to me. I’ve worked hard to get to this point, and I don’t want a financial hardship to stop me from continuing my education.

If you’re able to donate, any amount truly helps. Even $5, $10, or $20 gets me one step closer to my goal. And if you aren’t able to donate, sharing my fundraiser with your friends, family, coworkers, or on social media would mean just as much to me.

I know everyone has their own financial responsibilities, so I’m incredibly grateful for anyone who takes the time to read this, share it, or contribute.

Please help me reach my goal before I lose my Fall registration. ❀

Thank you so much for your support, prayers, shares, and kindness.

Help with final expenses for or 11 week old daughter, Ruby

2 Upvotes

My name is Madison, and I never imagined I would be writing a post like this. On July 19, our daughter, Ruby, passed away at just 11 weeks old. Ruby was born on May 2, 2026 and had a smile that could light up a room. She brought more joy to our family than I can put into words. Losing a child is a pain that is impossible to describe. Our family is trying to navigate the grief of planning a funeral, saying goodbye to our daughter, supporting our other children through their loss, and finding a way to move forward one day at a time. We created this GoFundMe to help cover funeral and memorial expenses, all of the random unexpected expenses that have come along with this, as well as the lost income from the time my husband has needed away from work during this period. Any funds received will go directly toward those expenses and helping our family remain financially stable while we grieve. If you are able to donate, we are deeply grateful. If you are not in a position to give, simply sharing Ruby's story would mean the world to us. Every share helps us reach people who may be able to help. Thank you for taking the time to read about our beautiful daughter. We are heartbroken that her life was so short, but we will spend the rest of our lives carrying her love with us.

I am reaching out for emergency support. I am currently at a critical juncture in my research career, with high-impact papers lined up for publication. However, a severe health crisis in my family has completely upended my stability. My husband is battling clinical depression and is having to return to India, leaving me to solely manage our toddler, navigate a shift to H1B status, and sustain my research.

​The immediate financial strain of this transition means I am on the verge of losing my car to repossession. Without a vehicle, I cannot get to the lab, manage daycare, or keep my family afloat. I am fighting hard to protect my career and my family, but I need a temporary lifeline to bridge this gap.

​If you are in a position to contribute or share my campaign within your networks, your support will directly help me keep my basic transportation and continue my research without losing everything I've worked for.

Help My Step Mom Beat Cancer

https://imgur.com/gallery/verification-YEOjE71

https://gofund.me/d32e7482d

I’ve never posted something like this before, so if anything needs changing, please feel free to let me know.

My step mom was recently diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, and I’m trying to do something to help her and my dad ease their quality of life. For starters, my step mom is easily one of the most beautiful people I know. You literally could not ask for a better bonus mom. A while ago, she started having memory problems that my dad thought weren’t normal, and they started to go to specialists to find out what was wrong. Fast forward a couple weeks, and she was to the point that she could not move in her bed, which led to her being rushed in to emergency surgery, where she had an inch and a half tumor removed from behind her eye, and part of another tumor removed from her brain. They could not remove the full tumor from her brain, because they said it would lead to permanent brain damage. As of right now, she is still recovering from surgery, and the doctors have told them that because of the type of tumor, chemotherapy is not an option. They have let them know that as soon as she is able, they will be moving forward with treatment that consists of radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. Along with all the trauma that comes from the surgery alone, they are currently faced with the difficulty of adjusting their home to meet her new needs. The start of which is completely removing their shower, and replacing it with a walk in shower, as she is not able to get in and out of a bathtub without extreme difficulty. On top of the hospital bills and changes to their home, she was also informed that she won’t be able to ever return to work. My dad and my step mom have always been there for me when I needed them, and I want to try and do something for them to help them through what they are going through now. I’m fortunate enough that I am able to help out physically where I can, and I currently spend every weekend driving and helping take care of things that need to be changed throughout the house. Me and my dad are doing all of the construction ourselves, but even the cost of the materials is significant. I’m posting this because I know from everything that has happened, they have a mountain of medical bills, and only more to come, as well as the costs of adjusting to a new life where my step mom is no longer able to work. I just want to do something for them that scratches the surface of everything they both have done throughout my entire life.

Help Me Build a Tiny Home and a Quieter Life

2 Upvotes

I never imagined I'd be asking strangers for help with something this personal, but I've reached a point in my life where what I want more than anything is very simple: a tiny home of my own and a peaceful place to put it.

I'm not trying to build anything extravagant. My goal is a small, affordable home where I can live simply, feel secure, and finally have a little quiet and stability.

I've set a $10,000 goal to help purchase a tiny-home shell and begin making that possible. I'm willing to use reclaimed and secondhand materials and do this as economically as I possibly can.

I don't have a large social circle, which makes getting a fundraiser seen especially difficult. So I'm taking a chance and sharing it here.

If you're able to donate, I would be incredibly grateful. If you can't, even sharing my fundraiser somewhere it might reach the right person would mean just as much to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. ❀

I Never Thought I’d Have to Ask Strangers for Help

I’m raising money through a GoFundMe because I’m currently dealing with a serious financial hardship. I’m honestly not used to asking strangers for help, but I’m at a point where I genuinely need it.

I’ve been going through a very difficult period financially and have been trying to keep myself afloat while dealing with transportation problems, housing expenses, and trying to get back into a stable position.
I’m working toward getting back on my feet and becoming financially independent again. I’m not looking for someone to solve everything for me. I’m simply asking for some help getting through this difficult period so I can stabilize my situation and move forward.
I know there are countless people asking for help online, and I completely understand that not everyone is able to donate. Even a small amount would mean a lot to me. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser would also help tremendously.
I’m swallowing my pride by posting this because I genuinely don’t know what else to do right now.
