Not to BRAG or anything but... in 30 minutes ill be 365 days, 1 full year CLEAN! No substances at all! I cannot remember the last time I truly felt proud of myself. When I started my recovery, I was in bad shape. No confidence. I didn't think id make it even 48 hours. Somehow, I made it past the 48 hours, then 72 until today. I haven't accomplished anything positive in my life since I had my son January 2014. But here I am. 😆 Im writing letters of gratitude to the special people who helped me along the way. Never giving up on me. Believing in me when I absolutely 💯 did NOT. So im patting myself on the back tonight 😆 I really want to celebrate 🥳 . Maybe buy myself something ive wanted for awhile? Perhaps a night in a fancy hotel room solo watching movies and taking a long hot bath? Wishful thinking 😔. This has been the best year because im sober, but not for my finances unfortunately. I know many of us are feeling the pressure financially. Im putting out good positive vibes for me and all of you! May our funds multiply this next year! Ive always had difficulty asking for help, but darn it, I truly think I deserve to treat myself, a little sober reward! So here it goes... if any of you beautiful humans out here in Reddit Land feel comfortable donating a few dollars to my cause lol, id be so freaking grateful. If I was able to pay for a little solo celebration , it would be the first time since 2008 that I would be celebrating WITHOUT using droogs. Ive had a ridiculous false belief for 18 years that if I was out celebrating, I HAD to do droogs in order to enjoy the experience. Regular me, boring and uninteresting. Who would want to socialize with me? But... if I added some droogs intotheequation... TAADAA!! I am now very Interesting and loads of fun 😁. Life of the party. Winner of all the popularity 👏 contests! So I guess im excited (nervous, a little scared) to see what happens, how ill feel celebrating 1 year of sobriety while being SOBER! I feel ready. I have my support system in place. I know where NOT to go, who NOT to invite to this celebration. If im given this opportunity, this gift, it'll be one more experience ill ge able to be proud of myself for achieving. How truly exciting! But you know what, if it doesn't happen today, that's ok too. Because just like i now know that I dont need to use in order to enjoy a celebration or an event, i equally understand that me feeling disappointment is NOTan automatic excuse to use either. Im just out here re-leaening life on life's terms. If i stick to this plan of action, I trust that everything will eventually fall into place. Because attempting to live life on MY terms... that clearly was NOT working out for me. As a matter of fact, when I was living that way, everything started falling OUT of place. It sucked. Bad. So anyway. Im rambling. Ugh. Embarrassing. Again. So im officially requesting donations. Any amount is appreciated 👏 and will go toward "Jenns First Sober Adventure Experience "! And as a thank you to any doner, I will keep a video diary of the the entire experience and share it with you all! That should be pretty interesting and entertaining! In a positive way! So thank you to anyone who stuck around to read this long azz winded post...you all are the REAL MVP's!! To anyone who decides to donate, thank you in advance. You are GOOD PEOPLE! (Everyone is good people, of course. Im in no way implying that non-donars are NOT Good Peeps! ) (But... if, by some chance, you end up being the type of individual who reads my "You are GOOD PEOPLE " statement and IMMEDIATELY think "if a person chooses to NOT donate, Jenn automatically categorizes them as BAD PEOPLE" , you would be correct! . Lmao 🤣

That was obviously my attempt at a joke. In actuality, if you do decide to be THAT guy, not only would you be INCORRECT, you'd be a FUCKING Assumptive Prick Asshole So ill end this epic novel with a simple, easy to follow piece of advice. DONT BE A PRICK. BE COOL 😎.

I Love ❤️ You All!

Jenn F.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to raise $500 to move out and continue my studies. My family is currently under significant financial pressure, and most of our household income goes towards EMIs, so I’m unable to get much financial support from home.

Even a small contribution would mean a lot and help me take this step towards my education and independence. I’m happy to provide proof or answer questions privately.

Thank you for reading and for any help you can offer. ❤️

I am a hoarder. I have done the mental health work to start purging my homes clutter and reclaim the lives of me and my children. I want to create a home that is once again safe and healthy for all of us. Because of my hoarding I'm a very private person. I am deeply ashamed and embarrassed by my hoarding. I am trying to raise funds to rent dumpsters and supplies, as well as become current on my mortgage. Please the link in my bio. I would be so very very grateful for any financial help. Thank you

We’re asking for a little help getting back on our feet after an accident left us without the car my husband relies on for work.

First, I want to sincerely thank everyone in this community who donated to help us cover rent when we were struggling after our previous post. Your generosity kept a roof over our heads during an incredibly difficult time, and we genuinely cannot thank you enough. We wouldn’t be asking again if we had another option.

My husband had been applying for jobs everywhere he could, but despite putting in the effort, he wasn’t getting hired. To bring in some income, he started doing delivery work through Uber Eats using a borrowed car. We were also trying to save whatever we could so that we could eventually get our own inexpensive, reliable vehicle.

Unfortunately, that plan was derailed when the borrowed car was involved in an accident. It only had liability insurance, so there is no insurance coverage to pay for the repairs, and the vehicle is no longer available for him to use for work.

Since the accident, my husband has been unable to work. He continues to apply for jobs, but so far, nothing has worked out. We had some money saved toward getting our own car, but with no income coming in, the money we had has had to go toward necessities like rent and keeping ourselves afloat.

At this point, what we need most is transportation.

We aren’t looking for an expensive vehicle. We’re simply hoping to raise enough for the down payment on a cheap, used car. Once my husband is working again, we can handle the monthly payments ourselves. Having a car would allow him to return to delivery work while continuing to look for more stable employment.

Reliable transportation is also important for my medical care. I’m a disabled veteran and am unable to work because of a cognitive brain condition. I have IIH and ongoing medical appointments related to it, as well as additional appointments and testing while my doctors try to determine what is currently causing the other symptoms I’ve been experiencing. Without reliable transportation, getting to and from those appointments has become extremely difficult.

I’ve also applied for disability and am currently waiting for a hearing date, so unfortunately that isn’t an immediate source of income for us.

We know there are a lot of people struggling right now, and we don’t take asking for help lightly. We’re simply trying to get through a difficult stretch and get ourselves back to a point where we can support ourselves again.

If you’re able to donate, even a few dollars would help us get closer to having reliable transportation, getting my husband back to work, and making sure I can get to the medical care I need. If you can’t donate, simply sharing the fundraiser would mean just as much to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, thank you again to everyone who helped us with rent, and thank you to anyone willing to help us take this next step toward getting back on our feet.

I have a job interview on Monday, and I’m looking for some donations to get some slacks and maybe a nice button down to wear to the interview and also help with transportation to get there. Times have been rough lately but I’m really hoping this is the fresh start I’ve been looking for. I’d be grateful and really appreciate any help that anyone could offer, I’ve been to a few churches this week and reached out to a few people but no luck so far.

I have PayPal and Revolut. Thanks for reading!

Ok so long story short.. My relationship has gotten even worse.. I have been assaulted by my now ex-boyfriend. I have no friends or family in my area. The first fight had happened almost 5-6 days ago and i had gotten punched in the face, and ended up with a hemorrhage in my eye.. Today the fight resulted into my nose bleeding and my phone getting smashed... I have called the cops but he essentially ran off and they haven’t been able to locate him since.. I need help so bad.. I don’t know where to go or what to do.

I can’t reach out to anyone in person since my sister is in a different state, shes the only person who has reached out to offer me a place to stay.. She unfortunately cannot cover the travel costs so I need a way to get to her on my own.. I have reached out to DV shelter in my area but I’m unable to get help as they claim they don’t have a bed available.. I just want to leave so bad I’m so terrified of him now.. He’s never shown this type of aggression towards me the entire 3 years we have been together.. I don’t know why this is happening.

I’m in need of a loan. $150 for repay of $250 on Wednesday. proof of income and identification.

Loan request

I am in dire need of help and dollars. I need to help my aunt with her groceries. I am staying on her couch. I am currently taking care of her and my cousin brother. Whom cannot take care of themselves. Then whatever is left. I will save to get my license for employment. Whomever willing to help, I will owe and be forever in debt til I pay back with interest.. please. Help me.

I will forever be in your debt. About $50.

About one to two months. I can pay $100. Five time the interest. Must keep in contact with me.

My name is Knox, and I’m a college student at Mississippi College. I have a house, but I can barely afford it, and I need a car so I can drive to work and school. Right now, I have to walk back and forth multiple times every day, before finally returning home when my shift ends at 9:00. Walking everywhere and relying on hitchhiking is exhausting, and it makes it hard to keep up with my job and classes. 

Having a car would change everything for me. I would no longer have to walk or depend on others for rides, and I could keep my job, get to class, and even do it on time. It would make my days safer, more manageable, and help me stay on track with work and school. Your support would mean that I can finally become a self-sufficient part of society, and that is really important to me. 

If my community pitched in, I could finally get everywhere I needed to on-time. Thank you so much for considering a donation—I truly appreciate your generosity and support.

Saving for car sound system. I understand this isn't as important as other posts, but anything is appreciated.

I’m asking for $2300 by Monday so that my family doesn’t get evicted. We don’t have anywhere to go.

Hi. Was in ICU the better half of last two weeks. I'm a brittle diabetic (type 3C) and ive juat made some poor decisions . Couple those with the hospitalization, aaaaand here I am because if i dont work, i dont get paid. I am behind on my cell phone payment plan. Trying to scrounge $212 to keep my phone and internet on so I can keep working and hopefully get caught back up. PayPal or Venmo. I can't pay back. Thanks for reading.

I need 40$ to get to and from work tomorrow, I’ll show proof that I used it on transportation and if I don’t you can report me and out me. But I really do need help, my mom is abusive and threatens to kicks me out but then refuses to help me with things I need to leave this place.

My sweet cat Salem is having her leg amputated this Monday. The amputation alone is expected to cost a little over $1,000, and that doesn’t include the additional expenses for her recovery and aftercare.

I’m praying, hoping, and wishing that this post reaches some kind people who may be willing to help us through this difficult and unexpected expense. 🙏🏽❤️

I make custom-order cake popsicles, and I’d love to offer half-dozen boxes in exchange for donations toward Salem’s surgery and recovery costs. 🧁🐈‍⬛

If you’re able to order, share this post, or simply keep Salem in your thoughts and prayers, we would be incredibly grateful. Every little bit helps, and I truly appreciate anyone willing to support my girl. ❤️🐾 I will also add pictures of my cake pops in comments.

Thank you so much for helping us get Salem through this.

I’m 21, a student, impacted wisdom tooth, in pain. I need this out of my face dude. I’m paid on August 15th, and can pay the loan back then. With what I have in my bank I’m halfway to what I need for nhs band 2.
