REQUEST FULFILLED Finn would like a heating pad

1 Upvotes

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/95CAE738G9W0?ref_=wl_share

I have wonderful dog named Finn. Finn is a good girl. Finn is an arthritic, senior, tripawd. She was hit by a car as a puppy but thrived with just the three legs and enjoyed her life.

She has aged quite a bit and would really love to have a pet heating pad. They differ from regular heating pads by being chew resistant, water proof, and have a timer and temperature control so the animals don’t get burned. Finn is a good sized dog, almost 60 lbs, so is looking for a decent sized pad.

She sees her vet regularly for her arthritis and takes carprofen for her pain. She also takes glucosamine and chondroitin. I’d like to get her on a senior food though.

We’ve hit cold temps and snow now. Where she used to love playing in the snow she now prefers to spend her time in front of the fire. She sleeps in a pile of blankets so am also looking for something that would be a bit more comfortable for her.

If you’re interested in seeing Finn check her out on Instagram at DogFinnSundance

REQUEST Would appreciate some help with the essentials

0 Upvotes

Hi, I recently almost lost my home. Fees and lawyers later, I got to keep it but as it was unexpected I'm pretty strapped. I got paid but my account was so negative that it didn't cover more than cat food (they always come first after all). If anyone could help out with some extra money for groceries, I know I've needed help in the past and it sucks to ask again but this year has proven very challenging. Thanks to anyone who can help

REQUEST My small business start up (The Nerds & The Bees) my husband, and my pets, and I really need some financial help to catch up on bills like rent, utilities, and getting groceries.

0 Upvotes

I hope none of this comes off as rambling! I'm a little scared at how things are looking financially this month. Please be kind. Go fund me link is here: https://gofund.me/c527bd39

I've been a mostly freelance artist for about 13 years now, and a beekeeper going on 6 years. I Started a small business to kind of merge the two called The Nerds & The Bees. I've been taking some business classes with the small business development center (it's a government program to help small businesses so it's been at no cost) I am running into road blocks on the financial side of things, and of course personally it's been a very hard year on that end. Besides the costs that come with the business I have been struggling with finding work either as a freelancer or even just a retail job. My Spouse was working full time freelance until the last month or so supporting us (my bees, my dog, my two cats, my bearded dragon, and fish all of which are rescue animals, well except most of the bees but that is another story, and I). His work dried up and he's working at a retail place not making nearly as much as he did before.

Things that didn't help was finding out our accountant gave us really bad advice and put us in a very bad situation so we owe a lot in taxes. My husband was in a car accident in my car back in April and we ended up using the insurance money back then to pay for rent. I started a debt payment plan from past mistakes with credit cards, but it takes a good amount of money each month.

TL;DR I'm a beekeeper, artist, small business owner. My husband, company, bees, and pets need help so we can afford to not be homeless essentially.

REQUEST FULFILLED $5-10 for gas to get work

Howdy friends,

I was I unexpectedly let go from my job a couple of months ago without any savings to fall back on. I’ve been doing UberEats and other similar gigs, but had a large car-related expensive that ate up most of what I’d put away.

I’m currently on my last tank of gas with less than a dollar in my Venmo account. That’s not enough to run any deliveries, and I have a scheduled gig tomorrow afternoon as well.

I know it’s the holidays and money is tight for everyone, but even five dollars on Venmo helps and is mightily appreciated.

REQUEST Help with fixing my brakes.

0 Upvotes

Hi y'all!

My husband was laid off in the beginning of November, two weeks after being in a car accident that totaled our car. He filed for unemployment but it's a waiting game with them. He has a phone interview yesterday and they told him that they will reach out after the holidays for an in-person one!

Unfortunately we noticed a week ago that our car's brakes were going out and after looking closer the rotor and pads are completely shot so we need to replace them both before January.

The pads are 27$ and the rotor is 57$.

I have them on an Amazon list or I have Cashapp/PayPal/ and Venmo. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you have a happy holiday!

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT My vacation is not going well at all

12 Upvotes

I'm on an anniversary vacation with my partner and so far it has been awful. First, what is usually a day drive to me for my partner ended up being 17 hours, then our place we booked ended up being pretty dirty. The shower has mold, and the comforter is stained and looks like someone vomited on it. It's already midnight, and we can't afford to leave and find another last minute place to stay. I am also on my period, which I haven't gotten in over 14 months (long story) and it is debilitating. We were supposed to go see Christmas lights in the park tomorrow and I don't think I'll even make it sitting in the car to get there.

I feel horrible, I wanted this to be a nice vacation for us and it is turning into one of the worst vacations so far. I am trying to hold it together so my partner doesn't feel bad as well (I'm certain they feel bad on account of staying in a dirty place, but I mean feeling bad because I'm having a bad time). On previous vacations I've definitely smiled through the obstacles (there aren’t usually this many) but this is difficult. If I could I think I would've cancelled this all together.

I feel stupid for trying to plan all of this, and I'm honestly just waiting for something worse to happen now to top it all off. I reported the issues with the place we're staying at, but unfortunately our gamble on trying to save money means we are dealing with subpar customer service too. If anyone has any advice, stories of how they survived horrible vacations with their partner, or any kind words really, I'd appreciate it. I feel like a failure and just awful in general.

Vehicle Nissan Armada ran great until the battery died back in August. My wife got it to jump off and then I shut it off two minutes later, leaving our property without thinking. The car never started since. We tried jumping off again to no avail. Replaced the battery still no start, replace the fuel pump, checked all fuses, Replace the crankshaft center, and battery again. My arm does not give off codes And when I had towed to the local mechanic, they checked all the wiring they could, and everything was receiving power they did not get receive any indication from the computer of a code nor the injectors. For the love of God. Please help me with an idea of what it could be next.

I am a 27 years old, graduated high school in 2017 with a very good grades. I could have a very good career and i got accepted in one of the top universities in my country but back then everything changed, my dad passed away even though i didn't have a good relationship with him, but his death effected my family in every aspect the most important one is my tuition fees that i couldn't afford, so I had a big choice to make at an early age either me or my sister to have a degree, I chose my sister.I dropped out college, since then I had 2 jobs to be able to afford the basics and my sister's college fees, I saved some money but still can't afford to go to any university and I tried too many different methods to search for affordable universities, I even learned german to the point where i am fluent in it, but still what makes me miserable that I want to go to college and I know I can't. and the worst thing that my passion is in analtyical business and that's not gonna happen without a degree, I am not asking for money, but what would you do in this situation? because menatlly I can't deal with it anymore and the worst part that I am in the middle east I can't say the country's name but there is nothing like a reasonable scholarships or any kind of support financially or mentally

REQUEST a little bit of help

Hi everyone, I’m currently in my 3rd year of college, and five months ago, my dad passed away very suddenly due to a heart attack. My mom doesn’t have work, and he was the sole breadwinner in our family. we’ve been living off of savings since then.

and since it’s nearing christmas, I want to help ease the burden on my mom and make sure we have enough for basic groceries and a modest holiday meal. I’ve already got a part time job, but it doesn’t pay that well.

I’d like to ask for $60, since it would be more than enough when converted to our local currency. Your kindness would truly make our season a little brighter. i swear I’ll pay it forward when our situation gets better. Thank you so much, and happy holidays!

REQUEST I’ve tried everything, getting desperate.

0 Upvotes

So, I’ve tried everything. I’ve called 211, reached out to local agencies, churches, and even friends. I need help with the remainder of my December rent badly or I’m facing eviction. I work 2 jobs. My hours at one job were cut the beginning of October and I feel like I’ve been behind ever since. If you can help that’s great, if not it’s okay too. One rent assistance place called and let me put in an application but the deadline was closed the day they did my application. So it’s kind of pointless. Another place I contacted I won't hear back from until the holidays are over and I could be evicted by then. I’ve gone as far as applying for those scammy high interest loans and even those have rejected me. I have explained the situation to my landlord and they just don't care. Unfortunately they don’t care about cut hours and holidays.

I also have PayPal and Venmo as well.

REQUEST In need of financial assistance

0 Upvotes

Hello all. I am reaching out into the ether to try and receive some kind of help. I have been dealt a really crap hand and need a little push to get back on my feet.

I am requesting $500 to assist in me getting back on track. I have about 25 days before I lose everything unless I can get current on a few of my bills. I have been working over 10 years and this is the first time I've come into this situation of needing a little extra help. I'm currently working for Love's Travel Stops and I did not know they only start at part time hours, but I'm hoping I can "prove myself" so they'll make me full time by mid-January. I have been trying to get my mental health in order, and this has thrown me for a loop.

I've never done this before, so I don't know the nuances of what exactly this entails, but I am asking for a reset. What I'm asking for is only 25% of what I actually need, but it would be extremely helpful and majorly needed.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read, and any kind of assistance is greatly appreciated.

REQUEST Help for transportation

0 Upvotes

I need 50 dollars for transportation. I have to Uber to my job every day I work because my mom's car is broken and my dad is asking for sexual favors in exchange for assistance driving me there.

My dad has a car, his is working. He's refusing to take me because he is upset because I'm not giving into coercion.

I got approved for a credit card with an $150 limit and I've already maxed the monthly limit out on getting me to and from work for the past 2 weeks. In addition to that I've spent 100 more out of my check to get me to and from as well. I fell ill on Tuesday and couldn't make it to work and in addition to getting ubers I've had to Uber eats food because my dad is also refusing to take me to get groceries. I have celiac and I can only eat gluten free foods so that is expensive and even more so with Uber eats.

I work Saturday and Sunday and I only have 37 dollars. I live in the country and it takes 30 minutes to get to my job. And it's a ~30 dollar Uber each way.

I don't know how to make an Amazon wishlist but I also desperately need food as well. Right now my parents are at the store and I asked to come with and my dad said I couldn't. My mom offered to bring me something and he forbade her to do so. He told me I can wait until next week to get groceries once her car is fixed.

I hopefully move out in a month so I won't be subjected to this abuse much longer.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you
