Hello everyone!

I was fortunate to be picked for the current round of voting for a scholarship art contest. For the contest, we had to make a greeting/holiday card. I always loved those cute, vintage, watercolor holiday cards so I tried to emulate that as you may see.

I need as many votes as possible. I'd be eternally grateful if you can vote for me. No account needed!

You should see the entry numbered 502 featuring two penguins (one adult, one baby) in front of a snow penguin.

Thanks to anyone who votes :D

Hello good people, I've landed in a pretty bad spot financially and to top it off my 9 years old dog have serious issues with mouth hygiene leading to vet deeming Sanation and Tooth Extration procedure is needed which currently is beyond my budget. I'm from Poland so there's no gofundme support, i've had to resort to Polish fund raiser called pomagam.pl

Clinic evaluated cost of procedure to around 2500 pln + follow up checkups up to 400-500 pln, so i've set the goal for 3000 PLN (600 USD / 580 EUR). I'd really appreciate any donations, it's heartbreaking for me to see in how much discomfort the dog is and i know i am failing him.

Link to fundraiser: https://pomagam.pl/c6e9pp

I'll post below a transcript from vet visit word-by-word and add translation to ensure you that this money is for the dog. Original picture is on the page.

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to ask for help for my brother and his wife, Janet. About two months ago, our family learned that Janet was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer.

She is one of the strongest and kindest people I know, and despite everything she is going through, she continues to face this fight with incredible courage.

Her medical coverage has already been used up for the diagnostic tests and consultations needed to determine her treatment. Her oncologist has also told us that her cancer is very aggressive and that, at this point, treatment is focused on controlling the cancer and prolonging her life.

One of the medications she needs, Ribociclib, is not covered and costs more than ₱60,000 ($960) per month even at the discounted price. She also needs regular monitoring, including PET scans approximately every three months, which can cost around ₱50,000 ($800).

We are hoping to raise funds to help with her ongoing medication, tests, and other medical expenses.

If you are unable to donate, simply sharing the campaign would already be a huge help and could allow us to reach someone who is able to help.

Thank you for taking the time to read Janet’s story. We truly appreciate any support, kindness, and prayers you can give.

I usually budget well with what ever I'm given but during this month and last month I don't know what's happened to me but after finding out my mother passed away on my birthday I can't manage what I eat anymore. I now stress eat and I blew my budget but I feel aweful to even ask my dad for extra money because this is probably one of the hardest time for him and us. I'm still unable to accept what's going on but the gnawing feeling in my stomach hasn't gone for a month and a half. Physically I'm healthy I'm trying to stop however that feeling once again and blew my weekly stipend.

For payment better to dm. I use a third party site called ding since I'm from Ghana so PayPal and cash up isn't available and ding is the only way I can get it immediately

But if skeptical we can use buy me coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/zakielenvt this is my free lancer account

I used to pick up art commissions but my tablet got spoilt so I had to stop 💔

I posted three days ago and I just reached the last of the money in my account pls can anyone help 20$ is the amount pls

I was hoping to get my first paycheck at my new job today. My payday is Friday but because I use Chime, I thought I would get paid yesterday. Apparently not. Now I am completely flat broke until my check gets deposited (tomorrow). I just need gas to get to work and back tonight and food for today. Hoping someone can help me out.

I want to sincerely thank an individual , u/calebs_dad , for helping me out . I also want to thank you for showing me that positive vibes when alot of people were being unkind and very disrespectful.

My friends have helped where they could, support from my family is.. lacking, to say the least, and I'm just fresh out of options. I'm just trying to stay afloat after being laid off from my job, and the market is terrible right now. Scraping and clawing for every crumb I can get is just sapping it all out of me. Any little bit helps, and I've even set up a gofundme out of desperation.

The funds would be put towards covering my immediate expenses - phone bill, electric bill, pet supplies and personal supplies for the next month or so until I start working again.

Running out of places to ask, so I'm just hoping for the blessings of good Samaritans. Thanks, and if you can't help, thanks for reading at least.

The Gofundme in question

I've suffered from Depression for a few years now, and I'm needing help to cover the cost of the telealth visit and the first prescription. I've been needing to make this appointment for a few weeks now but I just dont have the funds to cover both the visit and meds and as my depression gets worse I'm coming on here to ask for help.

My telehealth visit is $25 and after checking with insurance the meds would be between $12-$15. So I'm hoping i could get $40 to get me started.

I currently only have paypal available to me. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I am 26 years old with arthritis in my right ankle. I had been off work due to 2 surgeries go fix my ankle and fibula. Bone healed now but still have some work restrictions. Currently back to looking for work (had been employed from when I graduated till I broke my leg). Have applied for state resources this week but unemployment will take time. In the meantime I just need bus fare to get by these next couple weeks.

I have doctor appointments for my leg and would like to attend a few career fairs in my area. Can't walk long distances so I'm relying on the bus. Anything would help truly but I'm assuming about $30 will get me by until state picks up my claim. Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read this or donate.

Edit to add bus fair is $2 a route. I usually need to take 2 routes to get somewhere but only one route gets charged if within 2 hours. So I would pay $4 total a day if I need to get to an appointment/job fair/interview back. More if I need to go to more than one a day.

Hey everyone, thanks in advance for reading and to anyone who can help 💙

I am a disabled person on OW while waiting for ODSP. My cat Charlie is a senior who has issues with urinating outside the litter box, so he is in diapers. He recently got a wound on his leg due to using diapers that are a size too small. I am not able to afford diapers in the proper size right now, so I've put them on the wishlist... I also put litter, tampons, toilet paper, and a few grocery items. The diapers and litter are the highest priority, but I am in need of everything on the list.

Please note that the diapers are technically female dog diapers, but I find that they work just as well as cat-specific diapers and are a lot cheaper!

Thank you again for taking the time to read this and for any assistance 💙 I appreciate this community a lot!

(You may have to create a Facebook account if the verify by text doesn't accept your area code. But if that's too much, sharing it to others is more than enough!)

This contest means a lot to me and my family, and your support would be everything. Participating has shown me community in places I didn't realize existed. My family has been calling, talking, and texting and truly doing the most. Yes, the money is a big motivator to win, but even in the case this doesn't happen I feel like the energy we've put into participating has made more aware of our capacity to take action together.

I dont just mean to say that, because for me it's become easier to walk up and talk to people, ask for supporr, and receive it. Which is why I have the courage right now to get on Reddit despite what is said and ask similar of you. Thank you for reading!

I have been homeless since Sept 2025. I have medical issues that are keeping from full time employment and SSI has not been approved. In this last year my situation had been improving until July 4th when I became dehydrated, blood pressure has dropped and kidney function decreased. All of this causes me to blackout behind the wheel. I hit a pole, no one else was involved or injured. I have been to several doctors and they cannot determine why my pressure is still dropping, other issues have been fixed.

This past Sunday I attempted to work, Instacart in store shopping and passed out. Once again my pressure had dropped. I am paying each day for hotel. 211 cannot help and all shelters are full. I am requesting help with $55. I see the Dr tomorrow and will figure out the rest from there.

If anyone can help I will greatly appreciate it. If proof is needed I can provide it as well.

Thank you.

Edited to add I have PayPal

Hello everyone. So, I have been homeless for almost a year now, and it has been really tough for me to survive and take care of myself. However, it seems like things are finally turning around for me because I was emailed an invitation for a job interview on Thursday. So I could potentially be working very soon, but there's a big issue: this job REQUIRES business casual to attend, and I don't really have any business casual clothing. I just have some t-shirts, shorts, and jogging pants on my person.

I'm requesting $40 because:

- $15 will go towards buying a new pair of pants or two from a discount retailer chain

- $10 will go towards buying a few polo shirts I can get for really cheap at a discounted retail store

- $15 will go towards bus fare so I can get to the interview and back and have some additional fare for other trips.

I have proof of the interview email if anyone wants to see it. I was going to post it here but I'm not allowed to post images on here. I have CashApp, PayPal, and Venmo. Thank you so much for reading this post.

Hello, I hope anybody reading this is well. I am a third year student in the United States studying History and Journalism. I am having trouble getting a textbook that is vital to a journalism course I am taking at the moment. I usually have no trouble finding copies of required texts online through archives and such, but for whatever reason, this specific edition of the textbook is unavailable on every archive I usually use. I have discovered through the first exam in the course that older editions of the textbook do not have the necessary information for me to pass. If anybody is interested in helping me out, it would mean the world. Thank you!

Hello everyone. I'm asking for $80 USD to pay my electric bill and have enough left over for gas to make it til payday on Friday. If anyone can offer assistance through PayPal it would be amazing. Thanks for taking time to view the post.

Hello,

I live in ND. I am in need of $400 to cover my remaining amount of rent owed for the month. I have been unemployed for a short period and have been applying for jobs but unfortunately I have yet to secure one. The rent is due today, I have a grace period to pay by the 5th before a late fee applies. A family member was supposed to help me out but they couldn't. I really hate to ask for help on here as it's really embarrassing but I have truly exhausted all other options. I currently have $9 to my name. Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you. I have Cash App and Venmo.

I'm looking for $15or $20 gas to get to and from work. I don't get paid until Friday . My paycheck last week covered most of my bills, but what was left over went was spent at the emergency walk in clinic for an abscesses tooth and the antibiotics. Im trying the best I can but everything seems so hard anymore. I hate to have to ask for help for anything but sometimes we all need a little bit of help.

Anything would help me a lot, please.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Been out of work for a while, got laid off and still looking for work. Need to keep my phone on so I can keep looking and applying for jobs. I have a prepaid straight talk phone so I only need about 40 dollars(it’s 35 but with taxes and everything it’s close to 40)

I have PayPal but there are prepaid cards that can be bought and I can just receive the pin to refill my phone

I’m located in the US

Thank you for reading

I had marked my request as fulfilled because I received a few items from my wishlist, so imagine my surprise when I opened the door to see some random packages!

Not sure who but someone purchased the baby bottles, nursing pillow, and some other postpartum supplies I requested.

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to help, you don’t understand how much this means and how much this helps!

I asked on here once before and was able to get some help I am asking again. I’ve recently been injured and will not be able to return to work for a week. Me and my family live paycheck to paycheck so this is really going to put a hurting on us if anyone can help our goal is $200 in total to get us through but anything will help.
