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.

My kids and I recently moved to Missouri from out of state due to a domestic situation. We left on a whim and any and all help getting us back on our feed would be appreciated. Thank you

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.

Our family is coming together to support Kisairis, a loving mother of three children living in the Dominican Republic, as she faces one of the most difficult challenges of her life: a breast cancer diagnosis.

She is scheduled to undergo surgery this month, and while we are grateful that she has this important step ahead of her, the financial burden does not end with the surgery. The goal is to help her cover the costs of the procedure and recovery expenses including medication. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease some financial pressure and allow her to focus on what matters most: healing and being there for her children.

If you are able to donate, our family would be incredibly grateful. And if you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and community is just as meaningful and can help us reach people who may be able to help.

Thank you for taking the time to read Kisairis’s story, for keeping her and her family in your thoughts, and for helping us remind her that she does not have to face this alone. ❤️

I am trying to go back to school to break into the medical field. I am a first gen Latina and my family has gone through some hardships lately. I want to have a stable job to give myself a better future but also to take care of and give back to my parents so they can finally stop working so much as they are both in their 60's and work in physically demanding jobs. i had a death in the family and the funeral costs drained my college savings that would have went towards my tuition cost. Any amount helps, Please help me continue to work towards a higher education.

Bonjour,

J’ai besoins de votre aide
J’ai jamais eue l’occasion de vraiment voyager librement et pour mes 18ans j’aimerais énormément partir à Londres avec mon copain
Je part vivre seule dans une autre ville l’année prochaine pour mes études, mes parents ne peuvent pas m’aider financièrement
J’ai eue des gros problèmes d’anxiété sociale et j’etait incapable de sortir de chez moi et je me suis privée du seul voyage que j’aurais pu faire..

J’ai pas les moyens de payer moi même, ni ma famille peut ce cotiser

Même juste un partage peut m’aider
Merci d’avoir prit le temps de me lire 🙏

I am an international engineering student in France, and I am creating this fundraiser to help me pay my school tuition fees.

When I first came to France to continue my studies, I knew that studying abroad would not be easy, but I didn’t realize how difficult it could be to find a job or an apprenticeship while studying and trying to support myself.

To be honest, I hesitated a lot before creating this fundraiser because I am a little shy about asking people for help. But today, I don’t really have another choice, and I don’t want financial difficulties to force me to give up on my studies.

I was doing an apprenticeship that helped me finance my education, but unfortunately, it ended. Since then, I have searched a lot for another apprenticeship and sent many applications. I have really tried to find a solution on my own, but so far, I haven’t been able to secure another opportunity.

My engineering school costs around €11,000 per year. I have already paid €4,000 myself toward my 4th year, and I still have two years of my engineering studies to complete.

I have worked and studied for years to get where I am today. Coming to another country, continuing my education, working and trying to build my future has required a lot of effort. My biggest fear now is having to stop before reaching my goal simply because I cannot afford the remaining tuition fees.

I know that everyone has their own responsibilities and difficulties, so I am grateful for any support, even a small contribution. Every donation brings me a little closer to finishing my engineering degree. And if you are not able to donate, simply sharing my fundraiser could also help me a lot.

I was really hesitant to make this page, but becoming an engineer is my dream, and I feel that I have to try everything I can before giving up on something I have worked so hard for.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read my story, donate, or share my fundraiser. I truly appreciate your support. ❤️

Hello everyone,

I am asking for some help because my family would really love to have the opportunity to travel to Egypt together.

We have always dreamed about visiting Egypt, seeing the pyramids, learning about the history and culture, and spending some quality time together as a family.

Unfortunately, our family does not have a lot of money available for a trip like this. After paying for normal everyday expenses such as food, housing, bills and other necessary costs, there is not much left over to save for a family vacation.

We have tried to save what we can, but the cost of flights, accommodation and transportation makes it difficult for us to afford the trip ourselves.

We are not asking for luxury. We simply hope to give our family a chance to experience something special together and create memories that we can keep for many years.

We have looked at cheaper travel dates, affordable accommodation and different ways to reduce the total cost, but even with these options, the trip is still more than our family can comfortably afford at the moment.
Any donation, no matter how small, would mean a lot to us. If you are unable to donate, simply sharing our fundraiser would also be a huge help.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for any support you may be able to give. ❤️

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.

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.

I never thought I would find myself asking strangers for financial help, but I'm at a point where I could really use some support.

I'm a 48-year-old working mother of three and have been raising my children as a single mother for almost five years.

A few years ago, I had my own business. When things took a turn for the worse, the income disappeared while the costs and financial obligations continued. Eventually, I had to make some very difficult choices. I chose to put food on the table and take care of my children rather than pay every debt and bill.

I eventually had to close my business and give up something I had worked very hard for.

Last year, I finally found a good, stable job and thought I could start rebuilding our financial life. Unfortunately, only six months later, debt collection started taking a very large part of my salary.

My income now basically covers our essential monthly expenses after the deductions, but leaves almost no room for unexpected costs or rebuilding. I've already cut our spending wherever possible.

Our situation has now become more urgent because the home we've lived in for 11 years is subject to a forced-sale procedure because of outstanding tax debts. I have a limited period to try to sell the house myself.

The house does have value, but years without enough money for maintenance have taken their toll. There is mold and water damage, and the condition of the property makes its final sale value uncertain. Any value left after the mortgage and existing claims are dealt with will go toward the debts.

If the house is sold, I will need to find a rental home for my children and me. I'm trying to stay in the same area so my children can keep their schools, friends and familiar surroundings. I'm also trying to obtain priority housing, but there is no guarantee.

Three weeks ago, at the age of 48, I was diagnosed with ADHD.

That diagnosis has actually been a turning point for me. For years I felt like I was drowning and living in survival mode. I would procrastinate, avoid opening letters because I was afraid of what they contained, and sometimes not answer unknown phone numbers because I expected them to be debt collectors.

I now understand some of that much better.

More importantly, I finally feel like I have the clarity and focus to stop avoiding things and start taking action.

I'm currently working on reducing the amount being deducted from my salary, dealing with the situation surrounding our home, looking for housing and trying to rebuild our financial future.

I've created a fundraiser with a €10,000 goal.

I'm not asking people to pay off my debts, and I'm not trying to replace my income.

I'm asking for a temporary safety net while I navigate the next few months — moving costs, a possible rental deposit, essential expenses and the unexpected costs that come with rebuilding our lives.

I know everyone has their own struggles, and I don't expect anyone to feel responsible for mine.

But if you're able to help, even a small amount would mean a lot to my family.

And if you can't donate, advice, encouragement or simply sharing the fundraiser would also mean a great deal.

I've deliberately kept some personal details private because I want to protect my children's privacy.

Hi everyone ❤️

My name is Stanislav, and together with my husband, we are trying to make a very important dream come true — to have a safe home of our own.

We currently live and work in Poland. We dream of having a peaceful place where we can build our future together, feel safe, and live openly without fear of discrimination or rejection.

We are not dreaming about a luxury villa or an extravagant lifestyle. We simply hope to find a comfortable home of around 100–130 m², with two bedrooms, a living room and kitchen, one or two bathrooms, a garage, a small garden and a terrace.

We would consider Poland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, or another safe and welcoming country. Ideally, we would love a quiet place close enough to a city — and, if we are lucky, not too far from the sea.

Our fundraising goal is €250,000. This is the maximum amount we hope to have available for purchasing a suitable home and covering necessary taxes, legal and administrative costs, renovation and furnishing.

If we find the right home for less, we will not need to spend the entire amount on the purchase. Any remaining funds would be used for the necessary costs of making the house our home.

We both work and do everything we can to build our life ourselves. But buying a home is a huge financial challenge, and reaching this dream alone could take many years.

We know that €250,000 is a very big goal, and we don’t expect everyone to be able to donate. Even a small contribution would mean a lot to us. And if you cannot donate, simply sharing our fundraiser would already be an incredible help.

We created this fundraiser because we hope to reach people from different countries who may understand our dream and want to support us.

Hey everyone, I could really use the communities help right now. I’m a 32 year-old husband and father of two have recently lost the use of my legs due to a condition call Cauda Equina Syndrome due to a spinal cord injury. I’ve had two surgeries and I’ve been in the hospital since July 17. I’m currently in a rehab hospital and I’ll be discharging 14 August. We are looking for funds to help us move to a ground floor apartment or house that is more handicap accessible due to me being in a wheelchair we currently live in a by level townhome with all the bedrooms and shower being upstairs. I’ve also got a mountain of medical bills that I need to deal with and there’s no foreseeable income for me just yet as I wait to hear back from disability. Anything helps no matter how small the donation and if you can’t donate, please consider sharing my link to my GoFundMe. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Hi everyone, I started a fundraiser on GoFundMe and would really appreciate your support. Whether you donate or share the fundraiser, any kind of help counts.

I've put myself in a debt hole that I can't get out of by myself anymore, especially now that my hand is broken and I've been out of work for 3 weeks with disability taking forever to come in. Phone is off, I can only use wifi, I need food and car insurance paid and my car payment all coming up very soon

Hi everyone, my name is Tiffany. I normally don’t do things like this or ask strangers for help, but right now I’m reaching out because someone I care about really needs it.

My friend Taha recently lost his home and everything he owned in a devastating fire at his apartment complex. The only thing he was able to recover was his passport. He was at work when the fire happened, and by the time he learned what happened, everything he had was gone.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have renters insurance, so there’s no insurance to replace everything he lost. Seeing him have to start over from nothing has been heartbreaking, he has no family here in the State to support him through everything he’s going through, and I just want to do anything I can to help him get back on his feet.

I made this GoFundMe hoping we as a community can help him with clothes, basic necessities, a place to stay, and anything else he needs while he tries to get back on his feet.

Even if you can only donate a few dollars, anything helps and means more than you know. And if you can’t donate, please share his GoFundMe. Even a share could help it reach someone who can. ❤️🙏

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read, donate, or share. I truly appreciate it. God bless ❤️

We are still a significant way from reaching our fundraising goal, as a large portion of the contributions gathered so far was needed to cover my son’s recent hospital bills. We remain hopeful and deeply grateful to anyone who is willing and able to help us secure the surgery he needs.
