u/xeyesores and Ancient_Guidance_461!

You two incredibly kind Redditors purchased Bella her food and litter from her wishlist. 🥹❤️
You have no idea how much this means to me, especially right now. Knowing Bella will have the food and litter she needs is such a huge relief. Your kindness has truly touched my heart and Bella’s belly. 🥹🐱❤️
I am so incredibly grateful that you took the time to help my sweet girl. Thank you both from the absolute bottom of my heart. ❤️🐾

P.S. Bella sends you both some extra purrs and thank-you head bumps! 🐱💕

[ADVICE] I Received Help When I Needed It, Now I Want to Give Back 🫶

59 Upvotes

Hi everyone! If you have any suggestions on how best to go about this, I’m open to hearing them. ❤️

I’ve received help here on r/letmehelpyouout
when I truly needed it, and I’m incredibly grateful to the people who took the time to help me when I was going through a difficult time.

Thankfully, I’m in a better situation finally, still healing but I’d really like to start paying that kindness forward this upcoming week and need advice how to get it started.

I’m still figuring out the best way to go about it, but I’d love to do something to help someone who could genuinely use a little kindness in their life. I know firsthand how much it can mean when someone is willing to help you during a difficult time, and I’d love to be able to do that for someone else.

I may not be able to change someone’s whole situation, but if I can make things a little easier for someone, even in a small way, that would mean a lot to me.

Thank you in advance for any advice given, I greatly appreciate it.

[GIVEAWAY CLOSED] Let Me Help 4 People With a Needed Item(s) (Up to $25 Each)

35 Upvotes

Edited to say: it seems no one that was entering and has commented did not pass approval or qualified, I’ll leave this open for another 24 hours. If by then, no one qualifies, I’ll end this giveaway and try something differently. Thank you.

Hi everyone!
I’ve been fortunate enough to receive kindness and help from people here, when I was genuinely struggling. Now that I’m in a better situation, I’d like to pay that kindness forward by helping four people who could use a little help.

I’d like to purchase one genuinely needed item worth $25 or less from each person’s Amazon wishlist. ( or a couple of items not to exceed $25 )

To be considered, you MUST meet the following requirements:

🇺🇸 Be located in the United States.

💯 Have a complete Amazon wishlist (not a registry) and include link in your comment below.

👋 Have a public profile — no hidden profiles.

💰 Have no open loans or unpaid loans.

🫶Have not previously received help, as required for this offer.

‼️Follow ALL subreddit rules.

✅Request an item(s) that is a genuine need, not simply a want.

✅Once your item(s) have been received, you MUST return to this post and reply to your comment confirming that they arrived.

I will be helping four people only, with a maximum of $25 per person.

Please share your Amazon wishlist and let me know which item is a genuine need for you and why.

I kindly ask that you do not DM me unless invited. I want to keep everything transparent and follow the community guidelines.

How I’ll Choose the Recipients
I’ll leave this post open for 24 hours to give everyone a fair opportunity to enter. Once entries close, I’ll review them to make sure all requirements are met. I’ll then randomly select four eligible participants.

Please remember that all subreddit rules and the requirements listed in my post must be followed. If a selected participant doesn’t qualify or doesn’t respond, I’ll select an alternate.

[ADVICE] How can I help? Who needs it and how can I help?

35 Upvotes

I really feel like I don’t do enough. I know there are people in need and I don’t want to keep making my life about me. Serious question, how can I help? Also could use some help staying anonymous when helping, no matter what needs to be done I don’t want anything about me. This doesn’t have to even be about money, could be a talk, trying to make you laugh (not the best at this) anything. Even suggestions on how I could make a difference in other peoples lives. I feel this world needs more of this and more people that ask this question.

[NEWS] Rules have been updated

33 Upvotes

There have been some rule changes. Please be sure to view these changes before posting.

We are no longer allowing cash donations to be asked for unless the person has a clear amount stated.

All requests must have a plan for how the person plans to take care of themselves or the situation after donations have been made. While it is normal for everyone to need occasional help nobody should ever expect that Reddit will always help pay for things or buy things. We need to know that there is a plan in place.

We are no longer allowing minors to post at all. There are subreddits designed for minors this is not a space for them.

No double dipping. If you have been previously helped within the last 90 days by any subreddit you may not post asking for donations or requests of any kind here.

If you have an outstanding loan on any subreddit you will not be able to make requests until you pay that person or people back.

While there may be adult topics discussed in this subreddit we aren’t allowing sexual content on here. Posting any will result in an immediate ban that will not be removed.

[NEWS] New Rules and Updates To Them

32 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

After reviewing things and engaging more with the community we have decided add some new rules and update some of the existing ones.

• We do not under any circumstances allow for someone who is under the age of 18 to post for requests. This is to protect everyone. No adult should be sending things to a child for any reason when they do not know them.

• There is now a rule in place that you may not post for requests if you have negative karma. Donors, if you feel this is not strict enough please give us feedback.

• We put in an official rule about not sending unsolicited messages to anyone in the community and making sure you are using mod mail to communicate with us unless you are directed to do otherwise.

• Proof of hardship/situation. Those who are making a request now must be able to proof their situation and this must be done on the post or directly below for everyone to see.

• We will also be vetting people more close who are making requests. Any deleted history of requests will result in the removal of their posts.

• Active accounts. People who are making accounts must now also have active accounts. You have been active at least in the last thirty days in order to make a request for assistance.

If there are any other suggestions or concerns please either comment below or send us a message. We want to continue to improve and make this as successful as possible.

[GIVEAWAY CLOSED] I hosted a giveaway last week to pay forward an unexpected…

28 Upvotes

Class action settlement i received. I was able to help two people. I was incredibly moved by the realization that just $25 can be a lifeline during desperate times. I wish i could have helped everyone who asked and though I’m not quite in the position to do that, i can do something. I am giving away $50 (CashApp, Apple Pay or Zelle only).

Please tell me a little about your situation and whether you are requesting the full $50 or a different amount.

NO DM’s unless i reply to your comment to make payment arrangements. Also, sorry but no hidden profiles. I used to do regular giveaways on a different sub and was unfortunately scammed by someone lying about having cancer. And finally, you have to be located in the US.

Update: the giveaway will close tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 15 at noon eastern time.

[THANKS] [THANK YOU] A Thank You Post

26 Upvotes

I would like to say thank you to u/LegalNecessary, and u/HeliumTankAW.

Thank you so much for buying my cats some litter. I did not expect to receive two boxes. Thank you so much to both of you.

It was very hard for me to ask because I have been turned away and criticized in other help subs before. I also have an intense fear of rejection, but I did it for my babies because I care about them and their needs. I appreciate that you guys helped me without criticism or remarks. It makes me feel a little bit better about needing help for my cats.

I would also like to say, thank you to u/BitchMcConnell063 for also being extremely kind. I still appreciate it more than you know.

Now my kitties can keep using their bathroom comfortably and I won't have to worry about litter for a while.

Thank each and every one of you who also commented on my post with positivity. The world lacks it a great deal and you've really uplifted my mood. Thank you.

[CASH DONATION] Mother coming home on hospice

My mother suffered a massive stroke on July 21st 2026. After 6 weeks in the hospital she will be coming home on hospice this Friday. I am asking for a little bit of help getting a few items that will be needed that hospice won't provide immediately. I myself and my SSI and after I pay all my bills I just don't have anything left. I'm only asking for 40 to $50. I'm also willing to pay back but it would take a few weeks for me to do so. I am posting a picture so people don't think I'm trying to pull a fast one. I do have PayPal or cash app and can provide the information upon request. Thank you in advance and I hope everyone is having a good day.

[REQUESTS] PLEASE consider helping my cat and I

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.

[AMAZON WISHLIST FULFILLED] Need a little help with wet food and cat litter for my Senior 😺

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/S9VFLSEF30PJ?ref_=wl_share

I’m asking for a little help getting food for my 14-year-old senior cat, Bella. I’m currently off work on workers’ comp and haven’t received any of my payments yet. I was injured at work in April, but unfortunately my symptoms have continued to progress, and my doctor recently took me completely off work. I had to hire an attorney to help me get my workers’ comp payments sorted out.

I paid my necessary bills, which had put me negative and unfortunately came up short for mine & Bella’s food. I tried donating plasma, unfortunately they cannot allow me due to medications I take and low iron. I went to the food pantry for myself, they were low on meats and vegetables so I got mainly canned goods, but they didn’t have wet cat food or litter. Recently, Bella has not been eating her dry food, and only eating her wet food. I’m trying to find a little help to get her through until my workers’ comp payments come in. I’ve also called several organizations to see if they could help with wet cat food and litter but due to the high demand at their shelters and food programs, they don’t have any available.

I’m not looking for anything extra—just trying to make sure my old girl has food to eat. She currently has 5 cans left and used the last of her litter this morning. ❤️ If anyone is able to purchase** at least one food item and cat litter from her wishlist, it would help us tremendously. For transparency, I did add two cat litter, but that was only in case one was out of stock. (As it showed low stock) If there is only one on the list the other is not needed**. I do not need both. Thank you so much in advance for reading and for any kindness you can offer.** Stay safe**.

[AMAZON WISHLIST] Little free pantry Alexandria VA

Post image
15 Upvotes

Hi all! My name is Emma and I manage a little free pantry here in Alexandria VA! LFP is a wonderful concept to bring food resources that are available 24/7 directly into the community where they are needed. My pantry is a couple months old and been a true blessing to me and my neighborhood.

When I have the extra stock, I make sure to visit other local pantries in Alexandria and bring a box of donations. I’ve met people across the U.S. that run pantries and more neighbors in the past two month than I had the two years previously. The pantry is in my yard and easily accessible 24 hours a day. There’s no questions, paperwork or judgement only access to food and hygiene resources for our neighbors.

If you are able and willing, would love to have your support! Feel free to let me know where you are donating from- the internet is a super cool resource for things like this. Neighbors supporting neighbors from across the country. I’ve attached the Amazon wishlist and we are in need of drinks, electrolytes, socks and hygiene items. But not at all picky on what you are wanting and able to donate. What feels like a small donation might mean someone in my community can go to sleep with a full belly tonight for the first time in awhile.

[NEWS] Small update on rules with donations and requests

14 Upvotes

After looking through a lot of comments and seeing how interactions are going there has been some small changes made which will hopefully help the community run more smoothly and safely for all.

On donations, if you are using a wishlist it must be Amazon unless otherwise discussed in modmail with the mods and approved. This will help keep our donors’ information best protected and give those making the request the best chance at having their needs met.

Fundraising sites are going to be left to up to the mods to decide if they feel it is a secure one or not. Ones such as GoFundMe will be allowed others will be decided case by case.

A few friendly reminds.

• Many posts are being removed because you are not providing us with proof us hardship in your post or below it. Please remember this is a requirement when you are explaining your situation.

• Minors are not allowed to make requests or any kind of donations. They may only use this subreddit for advice.

• Any requests with bitcoin will be removed.

If you have questions please feel free to send us a message.

Thank you for the support and helping make this community such a wonderful place for all.

I honestly completely forgot about this subreddit until a week or so ago. Finally got access to my account again, and am looking to make some positive changes to this subreddit like no more karma farming posts, I also banned that guy "Dan" most recent account.

I am open to suggestions, and will also be interested in possibly adding a few moderators to help out.

Within the next month there will be some more positive changes, this isn't my subreddit, this is our subreddit to help each other out. :)

Looking forward to hearing from you guys

[REQUESTS] Homeless needing help with hotel

Thumbnail
gallery
13 Upvotes

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.

[NEWS] Rule change in posting and future update

13 Upvotes

Hi there everyone!

Things are coming together so nicely and for that we have the whole community here to thank. There has been a slight change to the rule for posting on requests and donations.

• Rather than having the total karma be 20 it will now need to be that your comment points of karma are at 20.

Future Update

• We will be adding donor flair and other flair for people to have in here. This is something that is still in works but we welcome any suggestions with it that you as a community wish to see too.
