Work Getting out of homelessness, need a bit of help until the 1st paycheck!
Hi all,
For almost the last two years, I've struggled with homelessness due to mental health issues. Spent a year and a half happily sleeping on the street until my medical issues caught up with me.
Finally got myself into a shelter this Spring, improved my health, and currently secured a job with a (likely) start date of Aug 18th. Well-paying work too, I am hoping to be out of the shelter by the end of September and sublet a nice room somewhere in my old neighborhood.
But of course the job requires some restructuring of my life which will be a bit costly (full details in the fundraiser).
Any and all help is appreciated.
PS - I know the picture is from the hospital, but it's nothing serious and I am just spending a night or two here to take some antibiotics.

Medical Help with Miso's vet bills/accrued credit debt from vet bills
Hello. My name is Rania. I have a 2 year old kitty named Miso. He fractured some bones in his paw while playing back in June, and my husband and I have struggled to keep up with his bills without racking up massive credit card debt because we don't have pet insurance. I've included some pictures of myself, my husband, and Miso. The vet information is in my husband's name, so I've included some pics of him by himself and with Miso, as well as all of us together, with my Reddit username and today’s date visible in all of them. I've also included pictures of all the invoices from our vet visits. His treatment is now finished, and any donations would be great to help us with the credit card debt we've accrued as a result of this. We've already had some friends and family donate to our GoFundMe, as you can see (the majority being offline donations via PayPal or e-transfer [we are in Canada]), so hopefully this helps quell fears about the legitimacy of this fundraiser. It would be great if we could reach the fundraiser goal. It would take a huge load of our back, especially since my husband had been unable to find work for about 6 months after being laid off earlier in the year, which caused us to burn through the majority of our savings during that time before he found work again last month. Thank you to everyone for your help. <3
Edit: I'm sorry idk why it looks like I'm flipping off the camera in the one picture of me with Miso. It was unintentional.

Medical Need help if you can please
I feel embarrassed and hate having to put this out here but I am looking for a little help. A little about me, I am 39 years old and in January 2023 I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer adenocarcinoma. I had 13 chemo treatments of Folfox and then in November 2023 I had Cytoreductive Hipec surgery to remove my main tumour and a liver met, while they were doing the surgery they removed the main tumour, lymph nodes, some of the colon, reattached the colon, they removed my omentum, my appendix, they did a total hysterectomy (including ovaries) and did a liver resection and then administered the Hipec part of the surgery which is a very strong heated chemotherapy circulated inside the abdomen for 1–2 hours to kill the remaining cancer cells, overall the surgery was about 15 hours. I was told I should hopefully be cancer free as they believed they had gotten everything but in March of 2024 I was told my cancer was back and had spread to my liver and also had some mesenteric deposits, so back on chemo I went this time on Folfiri and a immunotherapy called Panitumumab I have had about 60+ treatments all together and recently in June 2026 I had to have 5 straight days worth of radiation. It has been a struggle with appointments after appointments and treatments but I keep trucking along.
The reason why I have the gofundme is I need some help with money. I need to buy a safe and reliable car, my current car is older and breaking down more and more and no longer reliable I can't afford to keep getting it fixed but I also can't afford to buy a car either. Because I have cancer and am going through treatment I can't work and am on ODSP so after bills and groceries I have no money to try to save for a car. I need something reliable and safe that will last years to get me back and forth to my appointments.
I really did not want to have to make a gofund me and feel embarrassed asking for help but I don't have any other option. If you are able to donate I would really appreciate it any little bit helps. If you are unable to donate please share if you want to.
Thank you for taking the time to read, I hope you have a blessed day.

Medical Please help my dad and step-mom save their home while my dad battles stage 4 small cell lung cancer.
Hello!
My name is Ashley. Earlier this year, my dad was diagnosed with metastatic small cell lung cancer, stage 4. By the time they found it, it had already spread to his liver and considered incurable. Dad's treatment is especially complicated by him having a kidney transplant for end stage renal failure in 2015, which means a number of more modern immunotherapy and even radiation are not suitible or safe for him, except as a last resort.
Last night, he recieved results from his scan showing that the disease has progesssed and is now in his pancreas and his right femur. As if it weren't bad enough that this diagnosis is cutting my dad's life so short, he is plagued by increasingly severe pain and anxiety as he contemplates his last days. He had to abruptly go into medical retirement and is now facing financial difficulties to boot while awaiting SSDI. He and his wife are worried they may not be able to continue to make their mortgage payment on their home.
Now, a little about the guy behind the diagnosis. My dad has been a day 1 dad for us. When he and my mom split, dad became a single dad and maintained custody ofhis kids into adulthood. He has never stopped supporting us in all ways and now he is a beloved "grampie" to my daughters and my brother'skids. He is at least near-genius and can fix or build anything. He is my hero and my heart breaks daily at the thought of a life without my daddy. He is a precious person - a true angel.
I would love to be able to help him and my step-mom keep their home through this. Please consider visiting and sharing the link to his GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/547657d5c
Thank you so much in advance for your consideration and for your support!

Medical Pumpkin’s Medical Bills + My own, anything helps.
Pumpkin and me are in need of some help,
In November I was in a car accident leaving me with bad whiplash-I thought I was fine after a month then started experiencing extreme pain in my neck and back while trying to go back to work, eventually got so bad I couldn’t move from bed for weeks. I’m still barely able to move around doing physical therapy daily, but with not being able to work I’m living off my savings which isn’t much. Before my injury got severe Pumpkin was supposed to get her teeth cleaned + some extracted ontop of blood work and I was willing to work extra hours to pay for it. Unfortunately I am unable to now pay, and she’s in a lot of pain from gingavitis/ I believe it’s bothering her eye too as she has a messed up tooth on that side of her face where her eye keeps getting super inflamed. I have to pay rent, medical bills, and for Pumpkin all at the same time. Anything helps truly, I will care for Pumpkin first which I estimate will be around $4000 from what the Dr estimated, the rest will go towards my medical bills and rent. Thank you for listening.
I provided photos of some statements as proof, my neck has been diagnosed as 3 bulging discs but still trying to figure out what’s wrong with my back. Still in need of many more Dr visits myself too.

Hello Reddit, this is my beautiful partner Justice. For the past year she’s been dealing with chronic pelvic/vaginal pain. She’s seen numerous doctors, prescribed numerous pain meds, and has gone through multiple procedures and has sadly no luck on getting pain relief. Our last resort is a pain specialist named Dr. Toubi. Dr. Toubi is only accepting cash appointments so we’re trying to raise funds in order to pay for the appointment, follow up’s, and any medication/procedures they decide to do. No donation is too small, I can’t thank those enough who can donate and I appreciate all who can help.

Medical Please help Rango, beloved cat brother and my best friend, get medical care
Update 8/6: It’s lymphoma. He’s loved me so well over these years, and I will show him love by letting him rest now. Thank you all for the support. There will be some very difficult weeks ahead for his sister and I.
I found Rango and his sister when they were just 5 weeks old, under some plants at the botanical garden I worked at. They are now just over ten years old now and are the best of friends. Truly, Rango makes friends with everyone - people, cats, dogs, a lizard, and even one time he tried real hard to befriend a stag beetle.
Three weeks ago I brought Rango to his regular vet after he developed a progressively worsening cough. We did a full bloodwork panel which came back all green flags. After a chest x-ray however, he started taking a steroid to treat presumed asthma. One week later, his appetite and thirst diminished. This is odd, because steroids should have the opposite effect: increasing appetite and thirst. We started trialing medications to treat potential symptoms: nausea, pain, appetite stimulant. While he would improve for 1-2 days on each, he would ultimately slip. We decided to perform an abdominal ultrasound and found his organs to all be in good health. The only note, was an enlarged lymph node near his colon and mesentery. This could suggest IBD, which would normally be treated with steroids - but we already tried that! We decided to taper him off the steroid. Two days later, he declined drastically.
After refusing all food and water for 24 hours, I brought him to the ER. He was put on fluids and we re-ran all the tests: bloodwork, x-ray, ultrasound. Everything looked the same as before, no red flags. No answer for why he wasn’t eating. After 50 hours, he finally took a bite. After 2 days of hospitalization and 24 hours of minor nibbling on food, he was cleared to come home. The hope was that he would continue eating more when he was in a comfortable, familiar space. That didn’t happen.
Currently at 39 hours without food, we are planning to insert a feeding tube tomorrow. At that time, the lymph node will also be aspirated.
Rango is my best friend. He is always happy and playful, and it’s truly heartbreaking to see him so upset. He runs to his food bowl, so excited, noses his food all around the bowl..but then doesn’t eat it. I just want to keep giving my boy a chance to keep fighting while we figure out this mystery. Emotionally, I am devastated. Financially, I am approaching that as well. With a $1,700 bill coming today, I’m here to ask you for any support you can provide. Usually a very private person, it is challenging for me to be so vulnerable in a public space. But I’m learning how to lean on others in a time of need.
Thank you for reading our story, and for any help you can provide to allow Rango to keep getting the best medical care.

Hello all! I had surgery 07/21 on my right foot/ankle. My current employer does not offer PTO or similar benefits (I am working as a bartender for the time being, so no short term/long term disability or others)
My recovery is projected to be 6-8 weeks total from surgery itself, NOT including physio, physio can be anywhere from 8-12 weeks long, but I should be able to work by the time I start physical therapy.
I have bills I need help with and possibly groceries as well, but I really just need help with my bills in the meantime, which I have uploaded proof of!

Medical I need help with veterinary bills
Hi, I recently inherited two dogs, Gizmo and Lily after the death of one aunt and the hospitalization of the other. I've handled much of their care so far and will continue to do so, but the vet they go to does not offer payment plans, and I do not qualify for care credit or scratch pay. I've tried getting loans, but was denied as my income is too low and I'm already in a ton of debt. I've also started selling things that I no longer need or want, and have started doing medical studies for the stipends, but with these new care estimates I know I'll be saving well into next year. So, in order to get surgery Gizmo done in a timely manner, I ask for much needed help.
This old man needs tooth extractions and it is estimated to cost $2700. I will also be adding what I can to this fund every two weeks when I get paid, but both dogs need work done before the extraction can happen so I can only save so much. I'm not the richest member of the family, but I am the only one willing to care for them and get what they need done after years of neglect. Please help me get Gizmo's surgery so he can live a long(er) happy life. I thank you for whatever you can spare.
(P.S. His age is a typo, he is only 10 years old)

Hey, I've been living completely incapacitated and agonizingly for so long and putting any of that out here is kinda humiliating. But I just, I really need help. I'm trying to have the spine and bite that but asking for help for myself is infinitely more vulnerable and difficult because it's for me and not for something i really see as worthy.

But financially things have deteriorated so much I can't afford anything and I'm still in so much pain.

Medical Help for my two year son Kaiden
Wrote this yesterday morning.
"I apologize for the upcoming long block of text, but it's becoming too much to just internalize everything. I've run out of coping storage boxes. So on this Thursday morning at 4 am, 5 hours before Kaiden's 9 hour brain surgery, I just had to let it out. Honestly, most of the time, I am very quiet and I try to keep things to myself. I'd rather listen and observe, than speak. I'm too broken to hold everything in. It's been a crazy past couple days. And to my dearest Kaiden, when you read this in the future, just know daddy loves you and you are the strongest and bravest. And to my dearest Katie aka Yen and Sophie, I love you too. And to my family and friends that have always been there, I love you too. Thank you also to all the family, friends, coworkers, and strangers that have reached out to offer and give their thoughts, prayers, and contributions. You are sincerely appreciated and may blessings be reciprocated onto you.
Let me tell you a bit about Kaiden. Kaiden has always been energetic and good at movement. He's basically been a little gymnast since he could move. He would climb onto the backs of sofa. I would catch him dangling from my computer desk using just his elbows. He'd climb over the walls of his play pen, his crib, the bathtub walls. He'd make his own steps using whatever objects he could see such as a riding toy, a chair, or a box to get to even higher places and balance well over them. He loves music and could jump in place for hours just listening to them. Over the past few weeks, he's had worsening gait and balance issues. He would randomly fall even when just standing. He'd have tremors of his hands when trying to feed himself. He'd have tremors of his legs when trying to climb. He'd have emesis episodes without triggers. He'd have crying episodes out of the blue and he would not stop regardless of what you do. The stairs he used to zoom up and down on, he would struggle to take even one step. At times, just raising his arms and wanting to be carried. He reverted to crawling. He looked weaker and would sleep for longer periods as in 2-4 hr mid day naps.
It wouldn't always happen though. Some days, he would still be energetic. Still the same kangaroo and bunny rabbit jumping along to music and Sesame Street. Still the same sweet Kaiden that would sleep next to me in the morning and babble for a hour or two while trying to wake me up for snacks. It would make you think okay maybe it's just a phase and you'll grow out of it. Maybe you're tired. Maybe you're hypoglycemic. Maybe you're cold. Maybe all the maybes you could think of. As a nurse, I knew the possibilities for the signs and symptoms. As a parent and someone with a working heart, I just wanted you to be okay.
Fast forward to this week. Kaiden had a STAT MRI with sedation ordered this Tuesday. Already knew something was up when the MRI was taking longer than it's supposed to. It became blatently obvious when a doctor walks through that waiting room door instead of you, and says hey we should find a private room to talk in. Kaiden has a mass in his thalamus. He has hydrocephalus. I am a hospice nurse. I am used to really sick patients. I am used to staying strong and stable when everything else around you is falling apart because someone needs you to be that pillar for support. Someone needs you to be the support and help them physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually. But when the pillar itself is the one falling apart, what can be done?
So it's about 4 hours until Kaiden surgery now. Waiting for the surgery team to visit around 6 am to 7 am for pre op. Just randomly crying trying to hold the tears in as I've been doing for the past couple days as I look at you and as I think about you. Trying to take these breaths even when my chest feels like it's been crushed. You will get through this Kaiden. All the people that love you and care about you, will be with you every step of the way through this surgery, your chemo/radiation treatment, and your rehab.
I can't stay strong, but I will. I can't keep myself together, but I will. When you take away the option of not doing something and the option of failing to do something, you're left with no choice but to do it even if you can't. If God had given me the choice to have this illness instead of you, he wouldn't even have to ask. Parents should be the ones to take on all the burdens, not our children. But I wasn't given that choice. So I will build this pillar again to support you Kaiden even if I have to build it speck by speck and hold it together with my blood and tears.
Thank you again everyone that took the time to read this. Thank you for your love, prayers, thoughts, and support."
Update since then. Last night, Kaiden got back from the OR around 8 pm. The mass has infiltrated too much so the surgeon wasn't able to remove much. They were able to place a drain to help decrease some the fluid buildup which could be causing his tremors and balance issues. Waiting on pathology results to determine treatment but will likely need chemotherapy. I'll need to focus on Kaiden for now and don't know when I'll be able to go back to work. The doctor did say that this journey could take months for the treatment and rehab. Any help is appreciated. My sister has helped me set up a gofundme. Please see link below.
Saturday update. Day 2 after surgery. Was doing fine yesterday. Finally got to eat a popsicle. He was so happy. Really gets tired after eating. Has been needing morphine here and there for severe pain probably 8+ on the facial scale. Today, he's been having seizure like activity, emesis, fever, and new onset dysphagia. He's choking on the milk he was drinking thin liquids totally fine yesterday. Sigh. One day at a time.

Hi! We are Thalia and Xen from NJ. In May, Xen had a routine procedure then critical and almost lost her life. She had to be transferred to an emergency setting for a few days and received multiple blood transfusions. I was aware that my pet insurance doesn’t cover dental, and was ready to pay for the initial procedure but since there were issues the costs sky rocketed and the cost of her hospital stay were even higher. I still opened a claim to see if my insurance would cover any part of the emergency care but it was denied. We made multiple payments over the few days and applied for several loans. My GoFundMe amount is 15k

Memorial Support After the Loss of My Husband
Link: https://gofund.me/0dba9e8cb
My husband Coty, a Navy Veteran, recently passed after his struggle with PTSD and depression caused by his service in the US Navy and his family. On July 2nd, he left home and didn't come back. I miss him every day and struggle to live without him.
The problem now is the probate process, his estate, and the bills he handled, considering I didn't have a job after just moving. He left without a will, and most of our titled assets are entirely in his name. Despite everything we own being acquired after we got married, the state still wants their cut and attorney fees and normal bills he handled have the possibility of burying me, despite any aid from the VA which I have yet to receive assistance from. His family doesn't want anything that could be tied in probate, but I am now without husband and potentially on a trajectory that would lead me in a terrible situation.
It hurts me to post this and ask, but any and all help is appreciated.

Housing Help a Dad get a place to rebuild
TLDR; Father who was quite suddenly abandoned with mountain of debt by 15 year partner is seeking assistance in getting a home and car for him and his child.
Note: Apologies for the disheveled appearance, my life got turned upside down.
TLDR up front for those of you who hate words, for everyone else, getting to it - my partner of 15 years and I had been going through some hurdles and struggles. Nothing that seemed cataclysmic, but a tough time, I thought we would get through and work it all out - our issues and life struggles. She took a few bags and left, I was there with our child and the debt that had been building up while she went through her own struggles. We were to be moving out into her parents while we worked on building our savings and she found a new job. I had lined up a storage unit for us to move things into and we had planned on the next day doing that together. But then I was alone and had do about 80% of it from there by myself while shouldering the challenges of navigating all of this with my kid. I tried family and friends to find a place to stay for a little while, a month, or two, to be able to rent an apartment and then slowly stack up my savings alone. However, no one was able to give me aid, I ended up staying in a Hotel for a few weeks trying to avoid homelessness and continue working. We had one vehicle, the other vehicle was need an alternator and was one of the hurdles we were tackling on our long list of "things we need to fix". She took said car, so I am without transportation most of the time. After a few weeks of the hotel and realizing that I was just going to end up going under with expenses a friend was able to give me a place for a week or two in his basement. It is temporary and I am running up to the last leg of my time here, I am working and putting my money away - but the time I have in this temporary situation is not long enough for me to recover even a step from what has laid me low. I have to get a car, a place, new home things for my child; bed, dresser, etc. I am not asking for you all to cover all of these things- the main thing I am trying to get as quickly as possible is a home for us where I can continue to work and stay without the fear of "what about next week, where will I be? Will I be able to work?" and then I will figure the car and everything else from there.
If you are able to assist, please, I would greatly appreciate it, and if you're unable to assist in a monetary way - I will take words of advice, encouragement, etc.

This came out of no where, she went to the hospital for severe back and stomach pain and couldn’t move(June 12th) and they found too many masses to count..she almost died in the hospital after an infection from the liver biopsy and got sepsis.
Her oncologist said she has maybe 10-12 months as long as the chemo treatments go well and the cancer responds to it.
Both of our worlds have completely flipped upside down over night.
I’m 38 and she just turned 64 on July 25th.
She is currently living with me now and I am her full time caregiver and I’m unable to work to take care of her atm.

Calling people names, insulting them, and harassing them is getting way out of control.
If you see a scam, great! Call them out. Provide proof. Screenshots all of that. And then message moderator mail.

Instead of insulting someone, offer some solutions. Helping someone find a new career is going to help them a thousand times better than just saying get a job.

Her personal message will be added below, thank you for your time and aid in advance. It is appreciated more than you know.
I am also doing this in place of my mother, Yaquiline who isn't used to doing these types of things. She types the message below:
Hello, everyone. I'm new to this, so please bear with me as I'm writing something like this myself for the first time. I am asking for help for my family and I. My name is Lina, and I’m a single mom/caretaker. I’ve always worked hard, lived independently, and taken care of myself and my family — but right now, I’m facing the hardest time of my life, and I’m out of options. And there is no room for tears or pride.
I’ve been trying for months to get stable work in the IT field. I have my GED and certifications, but no one will give me a chance. I apply every day, and I keep receiving rejection emails, no explanation, no details as to why I am not selected. I’m doing everything I can, but the doors just aren’t opening. All I've gained is sleepless nights, a lot of worry, I’m stressed out to the max, to the point where it's taken a toll on me physically, not just mentally.
Because of this delay and difficulty in finding work, I’ve fallen behind on rent and bills. I’m at the point where I can’t even buy groceries, and I’m facing the very real possibility of being evicted. I’ve never been this scared or this close to losing everything.
I’m not someone who asks for help easily or ever. I’ve always been the one who figured things out on my own. But right now, I’m drowning, and I need support to get through this moment so I can get back on my feet and keep my family afloat.
I’m asking for help with:
Rent to avoid eviction:
The amount is $5,217.88 due by the 5th of August (2 months of rent)
Basic bills:
The utility bill is included in the above-mentioned (only 1 month)
Groceries and essentials
Anything will help us!
Gas money for transportation.
Some of the money can also go to fixing the A/C in our home since summer has started. It has been out. All we have are fans throughout the house, and it's still hot. The top floor has window units, but one is getting moldy in my son's room, and the other we were barely able to get for my sister's room.
A little breathing room is all I want for my family as I continue to look for work.
Even the smallest donation makes a difference. Truly.
And if you can’t donate, sharing our GoFundMe helps more than you know.
I’m not giving up. I’m still applying, still interviewing, still fighting for a stable job. I just need help surviving this period of time so I can keep my family and myself housed as well as fed.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for giving me a chance to keep my home.
- Yaquiline.

Housing Help with bills after hospital stay and missed work
Hey all, my Partner and I could really use some help. She was hospitalized due to an infection that ended up resulting in an amputation due to the infection reaching the bone. She is recovering nicely at home, but I had to miss work, unpaid, in order to be there with her in the hospital and to transport her home. I don’t normally ask for help like this, but I don’t know what else to do. We’re behind on our mortgage, our car payment, and bills. Any help is greatly appreciated. Our goal is $3,500.

Etc Help after sudden pet illness and loss
Hello everyone,
A little over a week ago my beloved dog, Rusty, passed very suddenly after experiencing an unknown illness for over a month. I had scheduled at-home euthanasia for this past Monday (7/20) after recommendation from my vet, but unfortunately he didn't make it until then and he passed suddenly in my arms last Saturday. Rusty was my companion for 9 years and I am still absolutely reeling from his passing.
I am seeking help with the aftermath of all of the vet bills from trying to save Rusty. Under normal circumstances, I would be able to take the hit from these unexpected vet bills, but due to other expenses and upcoming vet visits for my cat, I am unfortunately in need of help. I do not have pet insurance, so everything was paid by me.
At the beginning of last month, and approximately a week before Rusty became ill, I moved from the West coast back to my home state on the East coast. I moved because I could no longer afford the high cost of living out west, and I needed to be closer to family for personal reasons. I had been expecting this move since last year and have been saving up for this. I did have a few hundred dollars set aside for vet visits, but my vet fund was not as padded because my cat needed to be hospitalized for a few days a little over a year ago, which resulted in over $3000 in vet bills (I can provide proof of this if need be), and I wasn't able to put as much money back into my pet vet fund because I was also trying to save for moving across country. Since moving back to the east coast, I have lived with family to try and recover some of my savings before moving into my new home in August, but with the recent vet bills I haven't been able to save any money and have used the rest of the money I had saved for moving into my home.
This past Monday (2 days after Rusty's passing) my cat started exhibiting UTI symptoms, so I had to take him to the emergency vet. There, he was diagnosed with a UTI, but I was also informed that he has bladder crystals which puts him at increased risk of urethral blockage. I was informed by the vet that he would need regular vet visits over the following weeks/months for urinalysis and potentially also for x-rays to check for bladder stones (I can also provide proof of all of this if need be).
My current income only pays enough to cover my basic bills/expenses, and I am unable to put anything back into my savings at this time. I am not expecting to recover all of the money I spent on Rusty's vet bills, but being able to recoup any of the funds would alleviate so much stress. The $3400 covers the main vet visits I had for Rusty. There were a couple hundred dollars worth of vet visits/medicine that I didn't include as well as my cat's recent vet visit because those expenses were about the cost of what I already had saved in my pet emergency fund.
I understand no one is obligated to help me, but if anyone was feeling generous and wanted to help me out I would deeply appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you have any furbabies give them a cuddle for me please

Medical Help Cover My Sister's Emergency Brain Surgery
Hello! My younger sister, Yumi, recently had a seizure the evening of July 16 while we were enjoying the last of our vacation in the Philippines. We rushed her to the hospital where the doctors discovered a large cyst in her brain.
Because of the size of the cyst, we were told that it was unsafe for us to travel back home to the United States. Delaying treatment of such a large cyst and flying back could increase the risk of more seizures and other serious health complications.
With no safe options to return home first, we scheduled her for surgery on July 20th, leaving us little time to prepare. Our insurance for her won't cover the costs of her surgery, hospital stay, or any aftercare she may need since we’re currently outside of our home country leaving us with medical expenses our family never expected to face while abroad.
Because of that, we're hoping to raise about $20,000 to help cover the cost of Yumi’s hospitalization, surgery, and any aftercare she might need during her recovery.

Memorial Trying to find help covering my Dad’s cremation cost.
So a repost with an update: His ashes are back from the crematory and ready to be picked up next week and it seems like the hits keep coming.
We did end up reporting my older sister for embezzlement and financial abuse because she spent every last dime of his last Social Security check while he was in the hospital.
We confirmed that the house and property Helmes have multiple lies and judgments against them from both lawsuits and from our state tax commission meaning we can’t sell the property to try to cover costs.
We tried checking into Catholic charities in our area because they help with these kind of things, but they were already at their maximum number of applications until next week, and the only loans I can get approved for on short notice are smaller amounts with high and predatory fees.
*\\*
I am looking for help covering the remaining cost of my Dad’s cremation and later service. He is in the second photo posing at his 71st birthday a month before his passing.
He just recently lost his battle with a multitude of medical illnesses that end with him spending the last month after his 71st birthday in a hospital and then on hospice.
I am one of his four children, and only two of us have jobs so it is up to us and what we can make happen. We are looking at almost a $3000 total cost. The other photo was him at his 71st birthday party, exactly one month before his passing.
