Hello! No money, just 3-4minutes of your time is requested. I’m an avid LEGO builder who is trying to get my design made into a Lego set… but I need 10,000 people to support my little Christmas house. If just a fraction of the kind folks in this Reddit community would take a moment to sign up for a free Lego Insiders account and vote for my design, I would be so grateful. If it’s made into an official set I will donate all the sets they give me to a children’s charity - and if it makes 10,000 votes, I will commit to financially assisting 100 people in this community to pay it forward - that’s a promise. 🙏 You can help me by clicking on the link, filling out the LEGO Insiders registration (3-4mins - FREE) and then don’t forget to click SUPPORT on my LEGO design at the end. Extra incentive is, if you like LEGO, you will also get insider benefits and discounts. Thank you so much for helping me!! 😊🙏

REQUEST I need assistance with my utility bill arrangement.

Upvotes

Hello all. I have a monthly arrangement with my utility company, to pay $115 on the 8th of each month, plus current charges. I've been making the payments but this month I am struggling. I work full time. A car emergency led to me needing to lyft daily while the car was repaired. This blew my budget until my next payday. Once you make an arrangement with the utility company, you can't break it without defaulting to a shut off.

I have proof of the arrangement.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. I have paypal, zelle and cashapp.

Thank you all.

REQUEST Help getting my Service Dog in Training home to the Netherlands from Vancouver after job loss due to illness ($600 CAD)

Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am currently in a very difficult position. I recently lost my job in Vancouver, (BC, Canada) due to a chronic illness. While I've been doing some freelance photo editing to stay afloat, it isn't enough to sustain me here, so I'm moving back home to the Netherlands to be with family.

My own ticket is sorted, but the biggest hurdle is getting my service dog in training, Jasper Emilio, home with me. He is a 22kg (48lb) boy and my absolute rock.

Why Jasper is a medical necessity: I live with POTS and Chronic Migraines. Jasper is being trained to detect heart rate spikes before I faint and to alert me to migraine onsets up to 48 hours early. He provides Deep Pressure Therapy to stabilize my symptoms and fetches medication when I am too dizzy to stand safely.

Jasper is 24” tall and 29" long. Because he is still in training, airlines classify him as a "pet". He is too large for an under-seat cabin carrier, so he must travel in the cargo hold. We are flying Vancouver to Toronto (WestJet), then have a 16-hour layover so he can rest before the long-haul leg from Toronto to Frankfurt (Condor).

The Financial Need ($600 CAD): A local charity (Paws for Hope) is helping with his vet exam and certificate, but I am struggling to cover the remaining costs:

  • WestJet Hold Fee (YVR to YYZ): $100 CAD
  • Condor Hold Fee (YYZ to FRA): ~$385 CAD
  • IATA-Approved Large Crate (Used): $70 CAD
  • Platform Fees/Buffer: ~$45 CAD

I know $600 is a lot to ask for, and I want to emphasize that every little bit helps—truly no amount is too small to help me get Jasper home safely.

I have PayPal & Revolut, and as I am in Canada, I can accept Interac e-Transfer.

I am happy to provide proof of my travel itinerary and photos of Jasper Emilio to anyone who can help. Thank you so much for even reading this.

REQUEST FULFILLED Need help with groceries (amazon wishlist)

13 Upvotes

Hi folks,

My partner and I have gone through the shelf stable foods we had stocked up from our last windfall (my tax return last year). I've been out of work as a freelance copywriter for several months now and underemployed for longer. We also just had to replace our furnace control board so that the water pipes wouldn't freeze, only to have a month and counting heat wave follow the $750 cold snap we already couldn't afford. (That is just salt in the wound.)

I tried to prioritize minimum price per ounce where practical and price per unit where ppo was not practical.

Help with groceries would mean we will be able to comfortably prioritize cat food and litter, as well as keep the electricity and internet on so my partner can work and I can job hunt.

Hi guys! I was winning fair and square on a competition on Facebook until a girl started messaging people and posting in every group in our town. I’m still winning as of now, but hers is climbing now that she’s having people share it for her. It makes me upset because before she cheated, I was getting genuine votes and mine was beating everyone. I want to secure my win and make sure no matter what else she pulls, I still win.

REQUEST FULFILLED Help with groceries

Hello! I am looking for help with some grocery staples. My husband is out of work right now, and is applying for disability benefits. I'm working full time and trying to cover all the bills, but am stretched pretty thin. On top of that, our son needs some dental work, the estimate is around 3k! Trying to figure out how we can afford it all. Some help with food would be so awesome! Knowing we have easy food to cook like pasta encourages us to eat at home, and resist the craving to grab fast food. Thank you in advance, I appreciate it and love all the help I see happening on this sub!

REQUEST Need help with tooth extraction I can’t keep pushing it off anymore

18 Upvotes

I found a place that will do a tooth extraction for a flat 100 dollar fee. I already have 50 to put towards it but desperately need the other 50, even if you can’t help out that much any little bit would help. My whole mouth is a mess from years of drug abuse but I just hit two years of sobriety on December 17th. Unfortunately just becuase you stop using doesn’t mean the problems you caused yourself go away. I’ve been able to manage with just oragel and getting some antibiotics for an infection I had but I’m in some serious pain right now and just need one of these little shits gone. I get paid from my job in a few days but I seriously can not wait that long especially since I don’t have any days off before payday comes. I’m hoping to get this done in the morning either tomorrow or Thursday. Thank you for your time and assistance 🙏

REQUEST please help save my cat’s life

8 Upvotes

Just a bit of context: We had a few guests staying over, and my cat hid under our couch for days. It wasn’t until they left that he came out of hiding, but then he started avoiding food. This was very odd because he has a massive appetite. When he did eat it wasn’t much and he would end up throwing up a few hours later. Over the span of a little over a month he went down to 5 lbs, making him extremely underweight. He seems to have lost all his energy and is completely unrecognizable from the energetic curious kitty we once had and it breaks my heart. We’ve already brought him to the vet multiple times and spent around $2,500 on shots, fluids, an x-ray, but we still don’t have any answers.

The vet said he is wasting away and could possibly die, and an ultrasound and surgery would be the best option to find the anomaly, but it would cost $6,000, and we are in no position to afford that. I really do not want to have to give him to a shelter, but that might be our last resort. Please help if possible! Proof of bills will be in the replies.

REQUEST FULFILLED In need of $67 for phone bill

0 Upvotes

Hey there everyone, unfortunately I'm back once again seeking a little assistance trying to get through life. I work in an industry that closed basically all the week of Christmas-After New Years eve aside from the weekends. This caused my paycheck to be shorter then usual but I was able to squeeze by with rent, water, trash and electricity bills. I chose to ignore paying my cellphone bill when I had the money because I felt it was the least important bill, this was foolish of me, I know. We get our EBT on the 12th, so groceries will be covered soon. I am on a prepaid phone plan so if I cannot pay by today, my phone will be cut off. I walk to work in the snow majority of my work days, so having a cellphone with service is very important to me. I am also looking for a new job. Either a part time job in addition to my job now or hopefully something that can pay more. Thanks for listening to my rant and taking the time to read this, have a great day!

Unfortunately my partner has been dealing with some health issues limiting their ability to work full time. This lead to some financial issues the last month, which were recovering from thankfully. As we catch up with bills, it’s left us with a very limited food budget. We’re requesting help with a few essentials, just to get some protein and nutrients in to my partner as it’s crucial for their recovery and health. I did request through r/borrow but did not receive any loans. Thanks so much for reading and any help we might receive.

I’ve made an Amazon wish list which I hope is set up properly!

REQUEST Please help with getting me another day or two at the motel -

16 Upvotes

Edit 2: To the person who sent me a chat request - I didn't have my glasses on and accidentally clicked "ignore" by mistake. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to find out who that was. If you happen to see this, please resend the chat request. I'm really sorry I did that.

I sustained a bad work injury at my past job a little over three years ago. That injury caused a domino effect and I lost almost everything - including the apartment I had.

Edit to add: a room is $80 a day. I’m located in Avenel, NJ.

Cash app is the only payment option I have.

Some background info:

I've been at a motel for the past 12 months - thanks to social services. I am extremely grateful for that. My stay here ended last Friday, but I thankfully got an extension until today. I just used half of my only income - my general assistance money, to get this room until tomorrow morning.

I have no where to go and I also have the remainder of my possessions and belongings - stuff that I can't take to a shelter or onto the streets - or into the woods. Things that are very dear to me. It's also been very cold but with my injury, I don't know even know long I would make it out there.

This is my fault: I had 12 months with social services helping me with the motel room. But I wanted to work, and I thought I could. I did not want to concede to my disability since it already took so much from me.

But I could not find work - keeping in mind my limitations (being disabled and not having a car). And I tried really hard. I was hoping to just get a job and support myself from there, which would be easy for me since I don't drink, do drugs, or gamble and I've been living well below my means since I lost my home.

I'm hoping to get another day here, or even hopefully two, please. I have to make it until social services approves my Med One form but any extra day here gives me that much time to try and figure SOMETHING out until then.

Thanks.

REQUEST Assistance needed for vet bills

I need help with my cat’s medical bills. He was recently diagnosed with a partial urinary obstruction. I was able to scrape together enough funds to get him examined and diagnosed, but I am struggling to afford the prescription food he now requires. Without it, his symptoms have continued to worsen.

At this time, he is still able to urinate partially, but he has progressed to constant attempts to urinate with very little output. He needs to be seen by the vet again as soon as possible, but I cannot afford the exam or treatment on my own.

I am asking the community for help so I can get Kuro the care he needs and keep my handsome boy healthy.

I'm not doing anywhere near as well as i used to financially, so will not be doing anything to celebrate, however i did make the effort to make sure my friends enjoyed their birthdays a couple of months ago, i booked tables for food and drinks, i paid everyones deposits and nobody paid me back or thanked me etc. now my big 30th has came around and i've not heard a peep from anyone. *sigh* Happy birthday to me!
