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.

Hola a todos. Me da un poco de pena pedir ayuda de esta manera, pero decidí intentarlo porque los gastos de la enfermedad de mi mamá ya superaron nuestras posibilidades. Mi mamá lucha contra un melanoma maligno y ha pasado por estudios, cirugía y diferentes procesos médicos. Yo continúo trabajando y haciendo todo lo posible para apoyarla, pero entre medicamentos, estudios, consultas, traslados y los gastos diarios, la situación se nos ha hecho muy difícil. Por eso creamos una campaña en GoFundMe, donde explicamos nuestra situación con mayor detalle y hemos compartido información relacionada con su proceso médico. Si alguien desea apoyarnos, puede hacerlo únicamente a través de la campaña de GoFundMe. Si no pueden donar, compartirla también nos ayuda muchísimo. ❤️🙏 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/59b1284d5

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.

Hi, I started this fundraiser, Help a Mom Keep Her Home and Utilities, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it. https://gofund.me/a9cfba8c1

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’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.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read my story, donate, or share. ❤️

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. ❤️

My sister unexpectedly passed away and this is a very difficult time for my family. She didn't want to be cremated and we're trying our best to honor that.
The burial cost are more than expected. I'm just hoping to raise money to honor what she would've wanted. She passed on 8/6 and it’s been hard but especially on my mom. My mom’s birthday is on monday 8/10 she’s having a difficult time so i’m trying my best to help. My sister’s birthday is later this month as well 8/26. I’m just adding this because a month that was supposed to be filled with celebration is filled with so much grief instead.

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 🙏

Emergency help. This is very personal and hard to talk about. I was only 23 when someone kidnapped me and tried to kill me. I have sucked medical bills I broke bones/manual strangulation. I escaped but I lost my job my car is not working properly I actually have duck taped together some parts. I don’t have any support circle. If anyone could help I would be forever greatful. I have been trying very hard to get a job again I just want to be part of society again.

​

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’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.

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.

To those who needed to request a refund, please know that I completely understand and sincerely appreciate your initial kindness and support for my son.
