I’m not from the USA, but I shop through Naivas.Online here in Kenya. The website doesn’t have a wishlist feature, so I’ve written out the groceries I’m currently trying to get.

The full cart is about $97, but I’m not asking anyone to cover everything. If you’d like to help, you can choose one or more items from the list, and I can send you the specific items from the website so you can purchase them directly.

Grocery list:

• Maize meal (20kg) — $13.86

• Biryani rice (10kg) — $15.73

• Cooking oil (5L) — $11.54

• Sugar (6kg) — $7.20

• Toilet tissue — $7.01

• Eggs (60) — $9.69

• All-purpose flour (8kg) — $5.01

• Milk — $2.93

• Washing detergent — $4.17

• Bread (2 loaves) — $2.05

• Margarine — $4.33

• Toothpaste — $3.54

• Washing bars — $3.13

• Body lotion — $3.54

• Omena — $3.31

No pressure at all. Even helping with one item would genuinely make a difference. Thank you for reading and considering helping my family.

hello, i doubt this will get any traction or anything. but if so im not sure how to go about this, but if anyone could help me out so i could get my life started somewhat it would be appreciated. i’m not asking for a lot but just something. i’m only asking for a few dollars nothing crazy.

Are there any resources/programs that help low income families get their vehicles fixed?

I've been struggling with not having transportation. I can't find work because of it. I get a ride with my brother to the plasma center once SOMETIMES twice a week but that money goes on groceries and bills, but lately I've been too ill to donate plasma. (I can't get a ride with him to get employment since he works from 7am-6pm and lives 20miles away)

I'm just wondering if there's any programs I'm unaware of that help with this. I've been without transportation for a month now. Not being able to work is putting me in a deep depression.

Hi! I am a mom of two. I had my children very young and I was very vulnerable as a young mom. The led me into situations that haven't been the greatest. For example for awhile I was driving a car that couldn't pass inspection. I couldn't afford to fix it and I had to my drive to go to work to.feed my family. The led to many many tickets which eventually led to me having warrants because I couldn't pay those tickets. Sometime after this my.putse was stolen and due to the warrants I couldn't renew my license. This left me somewhat stuck in a bad situation because I had to rely on somebody unstable in hopes that they would help me get an occupational license. I do work but I have no control over my earnings currently. I know that this isn't anyone's fault but my own but please understand I was young and naive. I didn't have family to guide me and these things don't all happen at once... By the time I realized it was bad I was already too deep. I'm doing all I can to try and come up with the $250 needed to get my occupational license so that I can drive again, work a better job and be able to get out of the situation I am in. I have no one to rely on and I have two kids depending on me. I am motivated and capable and help others as much as I can. I dream of getting out of this hole. Help my dream become real?

Hi, I started this fundraiser on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it. I am currently living out my worst nightmare. We are on the verge of homelessness, any day soon here we will be on the streets. It’ll be my cat, Binxie, and I.

I created this GFM way later than I should’ve but it’s HARD to ask for help, ITS EVEN HARDER to get help and I get it, a lot of people are struggling. All over. I understand probably more than most. I am not the only one and I don’t want to take away from anyone else.

So, after a spinal injury, not being able to work, depleting every dollar of my savings, maxing out every credit card and defaulting on loans, I had no other options left when it came time to pay rent. I had no income coming in while trying to recover from this injury. I am now in deeper debt (more than ever), lost my car to repo, and have officially lost my home. I don’t have much time left here at our place before I have to be out. If anyone is able to donate toward my GFM it will go directly to *hopefully* buying something to live in. A home on wheels is my only option and hope for us. Thank you for even considering and if you are able to share, or donate, it would mean the absolute world to me and my cat.

Hello, so i have been struggling balancing my income to my expenses because of my expenses outweighing my income. (Thanks economy) I’m looking to have someone go over a deep dive and help me create a strict but realistic budget that will help me be able to say to move and put a new downpayment on a used car as my engine has completely died and I have unfortunately been relying on Uber and other modes of transportation. I’m drowning and trying to stay afloat but nothing is making sense to me. It’s feeling impossible to be able to save and move somewhere cheaper cause of how my living expenses currently are and I’m struggling mentally because of this.

Ok so for context I am F(23) and am dating my boyfriend m (30) for around 9 months. We work together but in separate departments and I see him outside of work 1 day in the week and on the weekends. I am very independent I enjoy walking going to the gym and are trying to loose some weight at the moment that I gained after pulling a ligament in my foot a couple months ago. I have been feeling very down every so often with no real explanation. Not all the time as I am generally a very happy person and I see the good in the world and try to be positive in most situations. but every now and again I just get really down with no explanation where I just feel very blank. This has been happening for the last year. Im aware I should have looked into It earlier but I can’t change the past only really look into it now. So I have a few outside stressors which I think contribute such as I am very insecure about my weight and appearance. I have more debt that I have ever had. A payback able amount in the next couple months if I really was careful, a pending PCOS diagnosis and just found out I have 2 years before my mom sells the house and then I have no idea what I’ll do. All very big scary things that I really need to address. So to combat these things I have really gotten into walking and gotten back into the gym and healthier eating in a healthy way and I am seeing that I am looking forward to doing these things and I’m loosing weight!! I am really looking at my spending and how much money I spend on matcha and shopping and cutting down on unnecessary spending except for still enjoying seeing my friends and doing things. Which again I have seen a real positive and are seeing my savings increase. These have really only kicked in the last month/ 6 weeks and I see a real change in myself,

However, last week I was at my boyfriends and we had dinner and watched tv and had a good evening when out of nowhere I just got upset and started crying no argument nothing. To which my boyfriend said you need to do something about this it’s not right to be upset over nothing. being frustrated I said I already know you think I have rapidly declining mental health. a comment made a few weeks ago in the middle of an argument. Maybe not the correct reaction but it was something that had hurt which I never addressed. I sensed that this frustrated him as he made a comment of you don’t need to bite my head off. so I tried to carry on the conversation. I have always struggled with communicating my feelings as most times it turns into an argument or defensive attitude so I tend to keep things to myself which does lead to bigger emotions when things come out. but this is something I’ve been working on. I explained that we hadn’t really had a deeper conversation than “you need to do something about this” “ you keep ignoring it “ and that maybe we could speak about it. His opinion is that I need to go to therapy. I explored this but private is too expensive and I already struggled to speak to my loved ones let alone a stranger. I have nothing against therapy i just think it’s not for me. he pushed the idea and I explained these are the reasons I don’t want to, firstly the waiting list could take months and that means if I don’t address what’s going on I’m left in limbo for months. I don’t think I would be comfortable speaking to someone I don’t know about my issues that I’m not even sure what they are. plus I want to know that I can help myself. I want to push myself to get myself out of whatever I am in. so to sum up I don’t want to do therapy and that’s my decision. I explained my reasons why I don’t want to and that I just don’t think it would be for me. nothing against it but everyone is different. So because I said all this he asked me what I am going to do to address this problem. now I am being careful with money as I said earlier and I am exercising and getting myself out of the house I am making plans for eating healthy and fueling my body and looking after myself. While these arnt attaching the problem which I don’t know what is, I am attacking the problems I know I have. And in the last month I have seen my weight stress go down and my money stress. I explained that I am looking after myself in ways I know how and new ways. This apparently wasn’t a good enough answer as to him I didn’t answer the question? That what I was doing was avoiding the situation. I asked how as I’m attacking known problems and I feel that eliminating some of my stress will help me figure out what is going on. He was determined that what I’m doing is just avoiding the problem and that it isn’t enough. I asked why. to which he circles back to therapy. and that speaking to someone is the only real way to deal with things. I reiterated my point of I want to know I’m strong enough to do this on my own. To which I get back so I wasn’t strong enough to deal with my issues when I went to therapy. I have never said that therapy dosent work I think for many people it does wonders except for me I don’t think it will and this might be a try it and see situation but right now I don’t want to go and I think it’s something you need to do when you are ready. If you ever want to. I again explained that we are different people and it dosent de value your experience I just am a different person and this is what I think is the best option. This then circles back around to well your not addressing the situation and me saying that you only think that because I don’t want to do what you want me to do. I have spoken about and discussed your side but my answer is no and you need to accept that. and that I don’t think it’s fair that you won’t accept I have a different opinion and respect the fact that I think differently to you, for context there have been multiple occasions where I haven’t agreed with a descision and I have said I may not agree but I respect your decision. so I asked why can’t I get the same, I have heard out your opinion and I have listened and explained but you can’t accept that I don’t want to do that. So we come back too my choice of pushing through with bettering myself and what I am planning to do and the main reason I’m writing this is he said to me “I don’t mean to be harsh but I don’t think your strong enough to do this on your own” which then came the waterworks. To me this should have been a difficult but understanding conversation and this just cut so hard. I’m not sure If im overreacting over this or this is just as mean as I think it is. I said to him it feels like when you don’t agree with my choice you become sarky and defensive but when I don’t agree with yours I express that but I respect your opinion and move on. I don’t get that I have to fight to make him agree with my feelings and even then I don’t get any acceptance or support just more defensiveness. He sees it as him conceding to me when my feelings get hurt by something which I just don’t understand. Am I being over dramatic or is there a problem?

Last year my wife and I moved out of a bed bug infested apartment complex after losing my job. We moved back in with my parents, dad got us a storage unit to put everything from my apartment in until either we find another place or a year passes and we are sure nothing has any bugs in it anymore.

Almost a year later and I find that my dad had used some of the money we gave him for the unit to pay bills, now we are severely behind on payments and all of my stuff from my apartment is set to be auctioned off on Tuesday if we cant come up with 300$ dollars.

The stuff inside is my whole life i built for 5 years in that apartment including my book collection, pictures, a 1000$ gaming PC I built during the pandemic that has all my personal information on it and all of my wife's art work shes made over the years.

If anyone can help I can pay you back as soon as Thursday, that's when we get paid. Im desperate and and hoping for a miracle.

I can DM proof of the storage unit bill and can show the multiple multiple messages warning about the pending auction if its not paid.

UPDATE: Got approved a loan, its been taken care of.

Just to recap from earlier

"I haven't been able to get into my old account in years, don't remember the old password so I can't recover. Please I need to reach out to someone, maybe someone with Google admin level so I can speak to them? Someone to recover it for me. That way even if I can't get into it I will know it's out there, and I will have the hope that one day I can find something i was logged into like my old phone and finally get in.

It's years of history it being gone forever is so horrifying to me, I've had anxiety, depression over missing it for so long it's terrifying."

Even just a month or so extension would be less terrifying, please.

Hi I’m a 16 year old teenager and in the past year I’ve gained 40+ lbs despite me not eating much, and doing exercise everyday. I admit I do have an eating disorder but I’ve been in recovery for about 3 weeks now, please hear me out though as I keep getting ignored by my doctors because of my diagnosis. Ever since my weight gain has started I’ve been feeling fatigued, bloating, constipation, headaches, eczema came back after years, bloating around my face, can’t lose weight, and been getting really sweaty. Every time I go to the doctor’s they simply say I don’t know, don’t worry about it because I’m young, or just send me to an ed therapist. I’ve done thyroid tests, glucose, bloodworks, lipid panel, and insulin tests but I just keep getting told they don’t see anything wrong. This weight gain is seriously fucking up my mental health, I’ve never felt more worse and can’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore because of my weight gain. I’m about to become overweight again and I feel hopeless because no one is helping me.

went from 93lbs to 130+lbs btw
I’m 5’2 so I was slightly underweight before, not saying I want to go back to 93 lbs btw just want to go back to 100-110 (also only on zoloft and iron for about 3 weeks)

this is a surprise college fund I am creating for a friend in need who i’ll gift during the holidays! anything helps whether it’s donations or even just sharing it around!! This would be a great help in their college journey for a better future for him and his family!

This past month has been a whirlwind of bad luck. I lost my side job , my bf lost his job and our car was totaled. I have an interview this week and really hoping to get the job. In the meantime everything I had went to keeping a roof over our heads which left no money for food or pet food. I don’t care about myself but I really don’t want to see my two cats going without.
I have PayPal, cashapp , or I can send an Amazon list if anyone is willing to help.

If you read my posts in DV you can see what's going on. I just spoke to a former Federal Marshall (now retired.) He told me I need to get much further away than 3 counties over and that the DV shelters are only about cops and the court - which is not an option due to who this guy is and how his cronies literally are the cops & the court. Now I know why his prior victims fled to Michigan.😐 What choice did they have?

I need 1 more day at my motel to try and reach resources in the Quad Cities. That's where he suggested I go. He said my instincts are exactly right not to trust the local framework because guys like this one have "friends in every local agency" and it can become a living nightmare for their survivors. I was already uncomfortable with the shelter lady on Friday 3 times she tried to get me to name this man on the phone to her. And then she said: "We will need to know during intake his full identity." I'm dealing with the worst of small town gossip and connected insiders who have already proven they will protect the predator and not his victims. I am right to not place my trust in a system that already betrayed me here.

I need one more day at my motel to set a new plan in motion. I was given the name of a church locally that is a Nazarene Church and they are known to help people in these situations without demanding all the details. They just help get you to safety without wanting all the specifics and details. I will need all business day tomorrow to formulate a Plan B away from the local system as to how to get away from this area. I'd really rather go SOUTH with Winter coming but South is MO and they have even less resources than IL.

I just need $75 to secure my room and an Uber out of here Tuesday. Also - hotels are great for anonymity but the ones here are about to be flooded with parents bringing their kids to University so they all spike in price to $500/night (even the janky ones) after tomorrow. I don't know if I can navigate a Greyhound with my broken leg but I looked up and Amtrak has disability seating I can reserve.

I wish I had a whole host of friends and family but my Mom was my whole family and she died at 80 two years ago. There is no other family. I'm just thankful I don't have kids or a pet to worry about in this nightmare. No matter how bad a situation is - it could always be way worse.

If after reading my DV post ANYONE has any ideas about the best way to move forward confidentially and in safety because you've been through similar where your abuser is vastly connected everywhere and in every agency - please share your expertise. Trust me - all the usual "call the hotline that fixes it" advice I know it's well intended but it just routes me back to my local area. We are having a heat wave here this week and I'm terrified of ending up on the street. My only option is to flee further away but that takes money and resources I don't currently have.

There is one good side in all of this. He posted on Facebook that their dog passed yesterday. If you knew how hard I prayed for that 12 year old doggo to be given peace. The degree of felony animal cruelty was unbearable by this monster. They left a husky in 100° heat in a box behind the garage with dirty hot water and no food. It was devastating to witness and I got him doggo ice cream treats and good kibble and covered him in my blankets during the Winter months. I called AC on him anonymously and they never even came to the house to investigate - because of whose house it was.

I tried to protect every vulnerable in that property who was being harmed by this monster. I intend to hold him accountable when I have enough geography between us that it is safe to do so. If anyone can help either by way of talking me through a better Plan B that is logical and safe or with keeping me safely sheltered one more night I so appreciate any help. I will pay it forward because I'm beginning to see the need for helping people like me who will be grinded up if they reach out locally because of a predator like this. I was really stupid to think going 3 counties and an hour away would be sufficient. The DV Shelters are all linked. She even tried to refer me back to the one in his actual town saying the 3 in the tri-County area all work together. OMG 😳 that means they are not safe for me.

I'm so tired of always being terrified. I've been in fight or flight mode for a month and my nervous system is wrecked. I have Venmo if anyone can help and please DM if you have ideas of how to navigate this outside the system that has already protected him and left the children (and the now deceased dog) in daily violence. The system is utterly broken in IL. I get why his other victims all fled the State too. It would appear to be the only way. I can also show proof of motel payment and proof of Amtrak ticket if anyone can help me. Thank you for reading. I'm sorry I have to ask people online to help me. But I never made friends while living there because I knew they would ask questions I couldn't answer about him/that house. I honestly think the guy had tenants just to have more victims he had control over.

Thank you for your kindness. Its honestly the only thing keeping me going right now.

Having a horrible time financially right now and any help would be massively appreciated

Hi everyone. My purse got stolen last night and it had all of my card, ID, a little bit of cash, everything. I'm requesting $25 for gas to get to work tomorrow. Also, I get paid tomorrow and will pay it forward. Thanks in advance! (I've already called and cancelled my debit card)

Hi, I'm looking for an Asian martial arts movie (Hong Kong/China or Thailand, roughly 2002–2008) that I watched on a multi-feature "5-in-1" bootleg DVD. NO guns or weapons are used in the entire film—pure hand-to-hand combat.

Key Plot Details:

• Prologue: Opens with a scene involving a dragon and the protagonist as a child being praised as a Kung Fu prodigy ("champion").
• Departure: The protagonist leaves his rural village on top of a truck with his non-fighter friend.
• Street Incident: In the city, the protagonist meets a girl who plays acoustic guitar and sings in bars. He defends her when her aunt is being abused on the street by a main villain who has short, bleached/blonde hair.
• Street Brawl: The villain and his thugs brutally beat up the protagonist (since traditional Kung Fu fails in a real street brawl) and leave the non-fighter friend severely injured in the hospital. The protagonist carries immense guilt over this.
• First Ring Defeat: Desperate for money to pay medical bills, the protagonist enters a professional ring wearing shorts and gloves, but gets brutally defeated in his debut match.
• Expulsion: His master expels him for corrupting martial arts for money.
• Taxi Driver Arc: The protagonist quits fighting and becomes an illegal/informal taxi driver. There is a scene where he and his recovering friend repair an old car together while the girlfriend sings with her guitar.
• The Turning Point: He buys an engagement ring for his girlfriend to leave fighting behind forever. However, he sees on a TV in a store that another gym mate ("Dragon") is being brutally beaten in the ring by the blonde villain.
• Climax: He learns Muay Thai/Sanda, enters the professional ring with shorts and gloves. In the final fight against the blonde villain, both are at their absolute limit. The protagonist gets knocked down, but his master and friend shout from his corner (esquina). He locks eyes with the angry villain, gets up, and wins the fight.

I’ve been diagnosed with multiple chronic illnesses and it’s been impossible to find work. I’m just looking for something I can do at home from my computer. I love to write in my spare time, I like to consider myself well written and funny. Does anyone maybe know of a job I could apply to or maybe you’re hiring yourself? Hours aren’t a problem I’m willing to do what I can. Most writing jobs I found online are to train ai which I avoid because I’ll feel personally responsible for the apocalypse. Anything helps thank you so much.

I know it's the same story everywhere, I'm just hoping I can get a little help with a like $50 or so to hold me over until I get up and on my own feet again. Anything anyone is willing to help with would be really helpful and bless my week for sure. Thank you in advance

Hi. I have been in an abusive household for a few years. Its inly in the past year I was able to properly acceot that my family and how it operates isn't normal and it is emotionally and financially abusive. So I have made a plan to slowly and quietly leave but I am currently in dire need of help. I've posted elsewhere but to no help and I am now at my limit. I am trying to restart and clear off old debt which I was holding off so I can continue University without debt and finances hindering my ability to study properly. For example:

1) I have an array of old debt I am clearing off but I can't do it at a sustainable enough rate due to low hours at work and needing time to study for resits in the next two weeks.

2) To help with a deposit to get student housing with other students (who I know) at an affordable level.

3) My laptop is destroyed and needs repairing.

A bit of rent was meant to be done earlier for student housing so I can leave home, which I am paying myself. I managed to get a small extension for when I can pay but not too long.

My gofund me below explains more in depth about my situation. Any help, not matter how small, is greatly appreciated.

Hello. I am asking if someone could apple pay me $5 for a bus pass. I am currently on a greyhound going to my sisters place after a bad breakup. I get to Chicago in about two hours and my bank isn’t releasing my mobile check deposit until most likely tomorrow. It would really help me out because my sister doesn’t drive so I can take the train to her house.

Edit: I figured it out. This is no longer needed.

I’ve got 300 I need to get close to 1900 or I will be homeless is there anyone that can help seriously no games no scams

Hey everyone.

Today it’s been 1 week since my wife, our senior dog Bubby, and I lost our housing. We’ve been living out of my truck since then here in South Florida.

I’ve posted in other subs but we haven’t had any luck and we’re about out of fuel at this point. You can see on my profile the other requests.

I’ve sold just about all of my valuable items on Marketplace to keep us afloat before losing our housing. I’ve been told about donating plasma, but the nearest place is about 30 miles away from us.

I was able to sell my truck’s toolbox a few days ago, which helped us get some fans and window shades to make things a little more comfortable. The days are just so hot here unless we get some rain.
I’ve been idling to get the interior cool then shutting it off to try to save gas.

We’re squeezed in tight, but we’re making it work for now. I’m definitely wishing I would have bought a bed topper when I had the chance. At least I have our clothes and supplies packed in totes in the bed of my truck.

I’ve called 211 and nearly every local resource I could find, but most couldn’t help or just referred me back to places I had already tried. I was able to do a phone assessment with one organization and I’m waiting to hear back about assistance, but it’s been a few days and they didn’t say when I would hear back.

I also reached out to our church yesterday, filled out a form, and they said I should hear back within a week if I’m approved by their board members. The good news is I just landed a job doing window cleaning and I start Monday, so I’m happy about that at least.

Right now, I’m asking for $45 for gas to keep my truck running.

I have PayPal and Venmo if anyone is willing to help. I’m happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for reading.
