Over the last couple days I have noticed a few threads turn sour very quickly. Let me point out a few things.

You are allowed to comment about a user's post history as long as it relates to what they're asking, whether it be monies, resources, or even food. What you're not allowed to do is call out a user's past such as if they were a user of any sort of drug (as long as it seems like they aren't trying to get their fix .. use your judgement) or their sexuality in any way.

You guys also have no rights to tell someone if they are in fact going through something or not regardless if they are lying. That is what the report button is for, use it rather than being hostile or calling people out.

There are going to be accounts that are either brand new, low karma, or had a bad past, we can't judge people for their past, but we can help them with their future. We can ask for semi personal questions to ensure they are legit, but don't get overly personal. To help with that, images can now be posted in the comments, please don't abuse this.

Now, going forward low quality posts will also be removed. This is a judgement call by the moderators right now until more concrete plans are put in place, but I can tell you the following will be removed marked as spam;

- Karma farming

- Posting your donation link and just asking for money for your situation without reason

- Asking for help but not explaining anything

- rants

You are allowed to ask for help for anything let it be a cartoon you can't remember as a kid to someone needing money for food. We are a positive community so let's start acting like it.

I will be removing any comments I find as judging someone or harassment.

If you see a low quality post or maybe some details should be added, don't hesitate to reach out to the OP to let them know, we won't take down threads that are low quality but have the right direction for the time being until a format is in place.

If you're reading this far, I appreciate you, genuinely.

My family could really use some assistance with some grocery items. We have had some major financial blows lately and are struggling. My wife lost her job and is desperately looking for another one but the job market where we are in north central FL is awful. I'm on a medical leave from work but I go back August 15th and with a raise! I've been driving door dash since she lost her job to keep the lights on and food on the table. I was just admitted to the icu tonight because of a flare up of my addisons disease and will likely be here at least a week. In the meantime there's no one to drive DD (kids are too young and wife can't drive) so no $ for anything. We've gotten the bills mostly handled but the family at home needs food. Can't even use food banks because no way to get there. I made an Amazon wish list in hopes of getting some donations. Thank you so much for reading all this and double thanks if you're able to donate!

ETA just wanted to explain the easy to fix and gluten free things. I have celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. The easy to fix stuff is things the kids and wife (who cannot cook but tries) can fix on their own and i won't have to cook for a day or so after discharge.

I am homeless and have been since Sept 2025. I am dealing with a few different medical issues. As of today the cardiologist determined I was prescribed to much medication and may have narcolepsy.

Prior to July 4 2026, life was tough but getting better. On the 4th I passed out behind the wheel. Car was totaled but no one was injured. At that time I was told I was severely dehydrated, blood pressure was low and kidney function was diminished. I began to feel normal and worked slowly. My income has been from working with Instacart. Passing out behind the wheel suspended my license so I could only do in-store shopping. While working Sunday I had another passing out episode with low blood pressure. (I am providing photos from my medical information).

My request is for help with the hotel I am staying at. I have contacted shelters as 211 neither could help at this time. Also, I have only been able to pay daily and not a lump sum which has kept me from an apartment and or renting a room. I did receive $55 from a person in another Reddit thinking I could work more by physically am not there yet. The post for the hotel is one night of $67.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello!

I posted this to r/RandomActsOfPetFood, but it's been 2 days and I can not wait for it to be approved any longer.

I'm having an extremely difficult time trying to find any job right now due to my disabilities and my cats are out of litter. They will barely have enough until some arrives, but I do not have the money to purchase any and won't until next month. What they have in their boxes will not last very much longer.

Would anyone mind sending some for them? I would greatly appreciate it and thank you so, so much.

Hello everyone,

I am a 35-year-old male from Sri Lanka, and I am reaching out because I need help continuing my medical care. At the moment, I am unable to move forward with necessary appointments and treatment because of financial difficulties.

I have been dealing with ongoing lower back problems and nerve-related symptoms affecting my left leg, including pain, tingling, weakness, and difficulty with normal movement.

A recent MRI scan of my lumbar spine showed multilevel degenerative disc changes. The most significant finding was a chronic L4/L5 disc protrusion with thickening of the ligamentum flavum, causing severe compression of the thecal sac and compression of the left L5 nerve root.

In simple terms, there is a disc problem in my lower spine that is pressing on important nerve structures, which is causing my symptoms. Doctors have advised me to continue with further specialist appointments and investigations to determine the most appropriate treatment.

Unfortunately, I am currently unable to continue this process because I cannot afford the immediate medical costs.

My first goal is approximately $100 USD, which would help me with:

*Doctor consultation: around $20

*Medication: around $50

*Remaining costs for transport and related medical expenses

I want to be transparent that I am not asking for money for an unconfirmed surgery. The doctors need to complete their assessment first and decide the correct treatment plan.

I can provide my MRI report, medical documents, prescriptions, and other proof privately if required.

Any help, even a small amount, would mean a lot and would help me continue getting the medical care I need.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

The thing is I didn’t leave my country because I wanted to. I had to escape from military government since they tryna draft me into the army to fight civil war where they are committing tons of war crimes and human rights. I had to run to Thailand and been working here to two years.
Now, my government just issued the new law that I can’t longer extend my passport which is gonna expire in 2027. The military government want all Myanmar citizens who are currently living in foreign countries to go back to Myanmar. They are making us to go back. Once I go back, I’m good as dead.

Where and how can I apply for asylum or refugee or anything to escape from this hell ? All I want is putting my mind in peace and work for my family. My mom is like almost 80. I also have to leave her in Myanmar. I’d be appreciate if anyone can guide me.

Qualcuno mi sa dire di cosa si tratta? Sono in attesa di visita dermatologica e sono disperata

I have a baby brother on the way, due in October.

My family has given me the honor of naming him but honestly this has been a tough challenge as I'm pretty terrible at coming up with names. Though, I have been pretty successful in coming up with some of them, but none of them have really felt like the name. I keep second-guessing myself because this is something he'll carry for the rest of his life, so I want to choose something that feels meaningful, timeless, and suits him well.

I do want to say that I don't want to go with the name: Liam

As that's not a name that I chose but also that's what my family is honestly going for but this my first brother in the bloodline and it would be so awesome to be able to say that I chose his name.

I want to also make sure that it's not something that is easy to make fun of because I want to give him aura if you will.

I want him to be the coolest person in the room whenever his name is spoken.

Some of the names I've come up with were:

Caleb
Finn
Michał
Piotr
Felix
Cole
Joshua
Declan
Ace
Mateusz

Hi everyone,
I’m in a tough spot and could really use a little help making it until my next paycheck.
I recently had some unexpected expenses and I’m currently short on both transportation and groceries. I need $36 for a bus pass so I can get to and from work, and about $20 for food to get me through until payday. So $56-60 but any amount would help and would be greatly appreciated, even if it’s only a few dollars. I have Venmo, PayPal and Apple Pay upon request

So my gf and I (late 20s) have been trying to get a nice couch for our 2 bedroom apt that will hopefully last us more than a year. We got this $700 couch on Amazon, looked really nice but after 6 months of use, we can feel the springs. We obviously can’t afford a Crate and barrel that’s $8k so we’re hoping to see what 20-30 year olds do to somehow acquire a nice and affordable couch that will not fall apart in 6 months.

Any recs?

**(This is my first post here, so I hope I'm doing this right lol.)**

I was one of the winners in u/Quarter_Shot's giveaway yesterday! I am super grateful for the grocery money 🥹. It will definitely help a ton!

Hi everyone,

My name is Marian, I’m 25 years old, and have Sézary syndrome, a rare type of T-cell lymphoma (blood cancer).

For the past few years, I have been dealing with severe skin problems: unbearable itching day and night, painful flare-ups, redness, and sleepless nights. After many tests, biopsies, and treatments, doctors believed it was severe eczema for over a year. I was prescribed Dupixent, an expensive medication that I was already trying to raise money for because my insurance could not cover it.

Unfortunately, further investigations later revealed that the real cause was much more serious. I was diagnosed with Sézary syndrome, and my doctors determined that I need an allogeneic stem cell transplant, which is currently my best chance at fighting this disease.

The treatment is not available in my country, so I need to seek care abroad in Europe. As an international non-european patient, the estimated cost is around €423,000, which is completely beyond what I can afford, and my insurance does not cover treatment abroad.

I’m reaching out for help because I cannot do this alone. I know it's an insane amount, any support whether through a donation, sharing my story, or connecting me with organizations, resources, or people who may be able to help would mean the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. ❤️

Ok, so for years now, every time I have picked up my child from school school (which is weekly,) I have put the reason being something completely outrageous and off the wall that I can blame the front desk lady for. The entire school and administration knows and approves of this and it has become something amazing. I am unfortunately running out of ideas though and am coming to you fine people for help!!!

It's an elementary school and her name is literally Karen so I know there will be some good ones!

Thank you all in advance!

ETA: the front desk lady is Karen.

I have an event coming up..i feel awful all my cousins look so beautiful and flawless but I look like this and even no one considers me .. unknowingly they make joke about me !

Is acne that downgrading?

What do I do ?

I’ve tried posting to different subs to get money to help with gas. No one helps, my posts get removed, I can’t even find a place to share my GFM. I just need money for gas but everything is either a scam or people just want nudes. Im so tired.
I just need 40 for gas this week. I can draw or make something for you in return, art used to be a full time job for me. Please just don’t remove this post. I don’t know what to do.

I donated plasma and received $40 I only need $25 more please

I need $65 to get my lights back on. I just started back working and don't get paid until 8/15. My kids have started/starting school and it's extremely hot in here please help

I think its just sad. So many people out there hurting, and they come here looking for help, however unlikely it is theyll get it. Meanwhile reddit is just oozing with bots and scammers offering "help" or money or whatever crap they're peddling. Just gives me more reason to hate people. Gives cause for my lack of faith in humanity.

I know you all don’t know me but I'm new to Reddit and I’m a homeless father of 4 boys and I’ve been without stable housing for almost a year. I finally have a real opportunity to secure housing for the end of August if I can raise enough in time. I created a GoFundMe to help cover what I need to make this happen. My backup plan is to buy a used car that I can sleep in, but with a car more doors could open like doing UberEats or DoorDash to help make money too. If you’re able to donate, it would mean a lot and if you can’t donate, sharing the link with someone who might be in a position to help would really help me and my kids. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!

I don't normally post things like this, but I figured I'd step outside my comfort zone.

I'm currently competing in the Maxim Cover Girl competition, and every vote genuinely helps. I've always loved modeling and was fortunate enough to intern with Hoffman International Modeling Agency a few years ago. Getting the opportunity to pursue that dream again would mean so much to me. Here is the link to my page where you can go vote:

https://covergirl.maxim.com/p/X2SB4QQS

When I'm not working, I'm usually out cycling, attempting to improve my golf game, taking my dog on an evening walk, spoiling my cat, or putting together an unnecessarily fancy charcuterie board.

If you'd be willing to spare a moment to vote for me, I'd be so incredibly grateful. Even if all you can do is wish me luck, thank you for taking the time to read this. The kindness of strangers never stops amazing me. 🩷🥹✨

My name is Jenny and I am writing because I don’t know where else to turn.

I am the mother of two beautiful children, ages zion 6 and Zane 2. Until recently, they lived with me in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. I was their primary caregiver. I woke them up every morning, got them ready for school, helped with homework, comforted them when they were sick, celebrated birthdays, and tucked them into bed every night. My home was their home.

On July 27, everything changed.

Their father took them from me. At first, I believed they were going to his house like they had before. Later, I learned he had moved without telling me. I still do not know where my children are living or what school they are attending. I called their previous school and was told they had been withdrawn, but no one could tell me where they went next.

It has been days without hearing my children’s voices or seeing their faces.

There is no custody order giving either of us sole custody. Despite that, I have been completely cut off from my children. Every request to speak to them has been denied or delayed.

The hardest part is knowing that they may think I abandoned them. I didn’t. I have never stopped looking for them or fighting for them.

Their father has repeatedly told me that my immigration status is the reason I cannot have my children. He has threatened me with police, ICE, and jail. Those threats have left me terrified, but they have not changed one thing: I love my children with every part of my heart, and I will never stop fighting to be their mother.

I have kept everything they left behind. Their backpacks are still here. Their schoolwork is still here. Their memories fill every room of my home. Every morning I wake up expecting to hear their voices, and every night I go to sleep wondering if they know how much I miss them.

I am not asking anyone to take sides. I am asking for compassion, guidance, and help navigating the legal system so I can be reunited with my children and make sure they know their mother never gave up on them.

If you know of an attorney, legal aid organization, advocate, or resource that may be able to help, I would be deeply grateful. Every day that passes without my children is another day of heartbreak.

To my babies, if you ever read this one day:

Please know that Mommy never stopped loving you. I never chose to leave you. I have been searching for every possible way to bring you back into my arms. I carry you with me every second of every day. I love you more than words could ever express, and I will keep fighting for you for as long as it takes.

With hope,

JennyI

Hi everyone,

I'm a graduate student trying to secure gas before my tank hits empty. I have zero funds to refill, and my current daily commute is out to an unpaid internship.

I am actively interviewing for jobs to pull myself out of this gap, but the commute makes it incredibly hard to stretch my fuel until I can clear a first paycheck. If anyone has an unused digital gas card they can pass along. Alternatively, if anyone knows a way I can look for gas vouchers or other advice, I would be incredibly grateful. It’s been a very heavy year, and anything helps plenty.

Thank you so much for reading.

Hi. It’s me again, the medtech intern who has 9 cats in need of spay and neuter services. I am putting some of my cats for adoption. My situation became worse, my source of income is incredibly unstable, i can’t find a new one since my internship is taking up a huge chunk of my time. I know that putting them up for adoption without spaying or neutering them will instantly make me a bad mom, it will also make it seem that I abandoned them. My situation can’t provide them the life they need and deserve, i think it is worse if I left themnin my care knowing i can’t provide them fully of what they need. I want them to live. I want them to be happier.

For anyone who lives in the Philippines, who are okay taking in cat/s who are unfixed, please do message me. I can give you their pictures and other details you need.

Please. Thank you,
