Help a Black woman avoid eviction
Hi. I’m struggling badly. I’m currently unemployed and facing eviction. I owe several months of back rent and am trying to pay it off so I can stay housed. Can you please help? It would truly mean the world, I have nowhere else to turn.
Support needed to overcome being financially scammed
Note from Miiriya: (Miiriya has verified the police report)
I know I am going to get an earful, but mistakes happen, and I would like for those who don’t understand to refrain from saying negative things. However, I want to make sure no one else becomes a victim of fraudulent people who claim to be business owners who take care of those in debt. This guy named Donavon Valentine claimed to be a debt consolidation worker who helps with bills, but come to find out, he was a scammer taking people’s money.
$900 was taken from me. I’ve reached out to this gentlemen regarding my money, only for him to give broken promises that he would return my money to me. I’ve reported this to the police, even tried getting an attorney on it. Still, no money has been given back to me.
I am a single mother of two (6yr old and 12 yr old) and it’s been a challenge trying to make ends meets since losing my funds. I’ve fallen behind on rent, my car note, which caused me go into a deep depression, beating myself up because of this dumb mistake I’ve made and not asking all the right questions before handing so much money over.
If you all could be a blessing, I would greatly appreciate any help that’s given to me.
Help with Miiriya Servers
I don’t have a big team, I’m the only one running everything for now, I hope the app becomes big enough so I can afford to hire people. Miiriya is an app where you can shop 1000s of Black Owned Businesses inn one place and doubles as Mutual Aid app for the community. It receives an extreme amount of traffic, and with all the users, images and content uploaded, it costs a bit per month. If you can contribute just a little with this cost a month, it’ll allow me to do a bunch other things like innovate new ideas, maintenance, and improvements. Miiriya has 100,000+ downloads and users, so this could help a lot per month. Thank you!

Help me and my family get back on our feet
Hello everyone. I recently graduated from college to try and do better for my family and give them a better life. During the time I was in school I lost my job and everything went south this year with this economy. We fell behind in Rent, electric and Gas bills. I have 4 children, and I’m doing my very best. This amount will alleviate the bills we’re behind on. Thank you so much for taking the time to read. May god bless you.

Single mother facing eviction
Earlier this year, in February 2025, I lost my grandmother — the person who was my biggest support system and my only stable home. Since her passing, life has been a constant struggle to keep my baby girl and myself safe and sheltered.
With the little help I could get from friends, I managed to get a rent-to-own shed to live in. It’s not much, but I made it into a home for my daughter — a place where she could sleep safely and stay warm. Unfortunately, things have gotten harder. Without family nearby and no reliable childcare, I haven’t been able to keep steady work.
Now I’m facing eviction and repossession of the shed — and I’m terrified of having nowhere to go with my baby. I’ve tried everything I can to stay afloat, but I’m at a point where I truly need help.
Update:my mom’s car has broken down and that was our only transportation. My house is up for repossession and could be picked up any day.
Help a recent Black grad avoid eviction
Hello everyone. I just recently graduated from Michigan State, May 2025. I moved into my first apartment in August of last year, and I lost my job in October. Finding a new job has been challenging. I am juggling rent, medical bills from a chronic illness, paying to feed myself and now I have student loans with their holding periods expiring. This has affected my mental health tremendously, as I had to make the tough decision of prioritizing other expenses over paying for my medications. I have now fallen behind in rent due to illnesses, and I am running out of time. My landlord has informed me as of next year 2026, my apartment’s management company is moving forward with filling for my eviction. My overall goal is $5000 to cover next year to survive for a few months and for my out-of-pocket expense to be checked into a psychiatric hospital. This has been a very difficult mental battle, and I am using every avenue I can, including Miirya, so I can take a second to breathe and take care of my mental health. I want to make it to 24 years old so bad. But it has been so hard to struggle for so long. Anything you can contribute would be very appreciated. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope you have a good day.

I’m an unemployed disabled Black queer femme in NYC during a hiring crisis. I was recently diagnosed with an illness that has temporarily physically disabled me. I’m in need of help paying rent with roommates as things are really expensive due to tariffs and rent increases. Landlords are not very forgiving unfortunately. Thanks in advance for your help, community.
Rebuilding After Hardship
Hi my name is Cecelia,
I recently lost my home in January of last year due to encountering financial hardship after catching covid and losing my job with the Marriott around 2024 of August. I couldn’t afford to keep up as I wasn’t receiving unemployment at the time (still never received it).
I’m currently struggling with bills. My goal is to pay down what I can to my debt so that I can be approved for a new home as I’m still homeless but staying at a shared Airbnb to be able to save. I also managed to start get a new job recently. I just need some help catching up with bills/paying down the debts that are preventing me from moving forward.
Struggling Mom
Hi, I am a struggling mom of two. I have been looking for a job but nothing yet. I was on unemployment but that ran out in August since then I have been struggling to make ends meet. My car is on the brink of repossession. I need my car to find a job and get my son to and from school. I am just trying to keep my car and make sure my son stays in school.
Help a single mother become stable again!
Hello I have 3 kids and I have fell behind. I’ve been struggling for quite a while and lost $2000 in a dispute with my landlord.

Mother in desperate need of help with car
Hello, my name is Dezarae, I’m a 25-year-old single mother from Cincinnati, Ohio, and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who has dedicated nearly 10 years to caring for others. I’m also the proud mother of a 6-year-old little boy named Karmelo, Life has not been easy for us. After years of struggling, I finally thought things were starting to turn around when I purchased my car last year only for the engine to fail just five months later, totaling the vehicle and leaving me with nothing. Now, I’m working hard every day as a CNA, but I’m barely making it living under paycheck to paycheck. Between paying bills, rent, and daily Uber rides to get to work and to take my son to school, saving for a car has been impossible. Without reliable transportation, I’m constantly worried about losing my job, keep facing eviction or missing an opportunity to give my son the stability he and I deserves. Today I am asking for help with funding for a down payment for a car. I’ve worked nonstop since I was 17 years old, and all I want is to give my son a better life one I never had. I’m not asking for luxury, just a chance to stand on my own two feet again. Having a car would allow me to keep providing for my son, maintain our stability, and finally start nursing school and saving toward my dream: launching my natural skincare and wellness business, “Mother May I Glow.” From the bottom of my heart, I’m asking for your help. Any amount you can give big or small would bring me one step closer to security and independence for me and my son. Please help us get back on the road to a brighter future.
Help Getting Back on Track
I am a dedicated teacher and an aspiring doctor working hard to build a future of service. While I was previously stable, my situation has shifted into an emergency due to circumstances out of my control. I am currently facing harassment and retaliatory expenses from my property management, while simultaneously losing my food assistance due to recent government policy changes.
Despite working full-time and advocating for myself through every official channel, my income cannot keep up with these sudden, predatory costs and the loss of my safety net. I am asking for mutual aid to cover groceries and urgent bills so I can stay in my home at least a bit longer.
I’ve been doing my absolute best to navigate this economy, but I need a bridge to get back to stability. Thank you for standing in solidarity with me.
Homeless Single Mama Looking for Stability
Hi! First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m a single mama of 6. In October I was terminated from my job working at a vet emergency hospital due to the owners retaliation against me for standing up for my rights. I have a petition going for that if you’d like to look into it:
https://c.org/kYJpV8zZxB
I come from a very toxic family dynamic so I don’t have any family help, I am consistently denied for government assistance ( I was just denied again as of 11/7), and no child support. I relied solely on my paychecks from work to take care of my children. With this termination, the government shutdown, and this job market. I have been desperately seeking employment with no luck as of yet. Bills are piling up. I was attempting to raise funds for rent when I initially created this post, but we have now been evicted as of 11/13.
We have been unable to stay at shelters due to the lack of room, considering we have a large family. We don’t have family to stay with and friends are unable to house a family of my size. I’ve been trying to do all that I can to avoid us staying out on the streets. 12/3 we were invited to stay with someone in exchange for free childcare. So I have been caring for 4 young children without pay in exchange for a place for me and my children to live. We are staying in a small bedroom in the home, but unfortunately, things have escalated pretty quickly and we will have to leave soon due to the domestic violence in the home between the homeowner and her spouse. I also now have a granted peace order against the man in the home, as well as a pending assault case against him.
I’ve been applying to so many jobs and filed for unemployment, but my previous employer has been refusing to report wages so that’s been on a standstill. I do have an interview scheduled for 2/2, so hopefully I hear some good news soon!
The kids dad has been struggling with substance abuse and has been completely out of the picture since 2022. His family enables him and are very toxic and disrespectful towards me because I stand up for myself and my children, so I can’t turn to them. I saw this app while scrolling through Facebook and was hoping this was a sign from God to get us some help. We desperately need to find somewhere safe to live. I have always been the backbone of my household, so this is weighing so hard on me. I believe in giving back to the community so I’m always willing to pay it forward when I have it to give, as I’ve done many times with my community projects under The Neighborhood Mama. I’m hoping I can get some good karma returned to me.
Other ways you can help:
• We have a wishlist for household essential items here: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3VW7KDC21E56C
• I also wrote a book for young girls ages 8 to 16, teaching them about their bodies and guiding them through girlhood. If anyone would like to support in that way.

Help Me Keep My Car
A Black disabled queer person needs help paying their car note and insurance.
I lost my job on October 13th and had to move states (500+ miles) in my car with no savings. I was staying with a family member and have gotten a new job and apartment, but my new job stopped scheduling me the hours they agreed to and I have been without a living wage since October.

Help a Bereaved Mother Rebuild Her Life After Unimaginable Loss
My name is Kay, and I’m a single mother doing my best to start over after losing my 14 year-old son just 14 days after giving birth. That loss changed everything. Not long after, I lost my salon, my home, and faced domestic violence that left me starting from scratch.
For almost a year, I’ve been working a 9–5 job to keep a roof over our heads, but my car recently been having problems, and I’m struggling to stay above water.
I’m humbly asking for help to keep a roof over my head, secure reliable transportation, and finally create a safe, stable home for me and my son.
Every dollar helps me take one step closer to stability, safety, and peace something I haven’t felt in a long time.
I don’t take asking for help lightly. I’ve always been strong, independent, and the one others could count on. But today, I’m choosing faith over pride because I know that even after the darkest storms, light still finds a way through.
If you can’t donate, please share.
Your prayers, love, and support mean more than you’ll ever know.
Thank you for seeing me, for standing with me, and for helping me rebuild what life tried to break.

Hello, I’m a disabled Mom with my adult daughter living in a motel 6, we lost our apartment in November 2024, and have been bouncing from Motel to Motel until we managed to establish residency at this motel. This just means we don’t have to leave every 28 days.I don’t receive disability yet, it’s such a long process. My son died in January 2022,and my mental health took a major dive, my physical health took a dive because of this.My daughter works but that money goes right into our room rent, So we literally have nothing after that, we do receive foodstamps but that doesn’t last long living in a motel. Our storage has all of my sons belongings and pictures are in there so the sentimental value is astronomical. This is a bill we struggle with monthly I’ve been so depressed and stressed over this. It’s been so much ,so often. I feel broken. Not being able to help. God Bless and Thank you for reading.
Its been a really rough year, we continuously struggle with room rent,food and storage.

Single mother in desperate need of help !!!!
Being a single mother means doing everything possible to keep life running smoothly for my children, but when my car broke down everything came to a sudden stop. My car isn’t just transportation it’s how I get to work, take my kids to school, make appointments and ensure they have what they need every day.
Right now, the repair costs are more than I can manage alone, and without a working car it’s been difficult to stay consistent with work and family responsibilities. I’m reaching out with hope and humility asking for help to repair my current vehicle or possibly get a more reliable one.
Every bit of support, whether through a donation or simply sharing my story makes a real difference. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me stay strong and keep moving forward for my family. ❤️
Help with staying afloat
Hey yall,
I appreciate you taking the time into reading this. It’s been an uphill battle with debt and so much things needing to be taken care of and I’m hoping to just get a peace of mind and a break. There’s a hospital bill that went into collections and they’re constantly sending me notifications, and a few other bills I can’t catch up to, I’m completely stressed and don’t know how to get out no matter how hard I work. Times are hard right now and my goal is just to close out this year with some peace of mind, having money to handle outstanding bills, put food on the table, and continue having a place to live.
If you can find it in your hearts to help my situation out, would mean the world to me.
Thank you and God bless you.
Homeless Mom, w My Twins
Greetings and salutations.
For starters I want to thank you for taking the time to read this. I have been on this app for some time getting acquainted with vendors as I too am a service provider of massage therapy. I also want to say this is a request I do not make lightly but I am in a position where I have exhausted all the state resources at my disposal. I fell on hard times when I lost two jobs after I gave birth to twins two months ahead of schedule which ultimately led to us losing our home. I say that I am blessed because these are my beautiful rainbow babies and after complications I am thankful that they are healthy and meeting all milestones. I do call 211 religiously and follow up with the shelter referrals they provide but I’m always told they are too full and do not know when they will have a bed available for a family. We are located in Southern California and it has been storming over the past week and I want to avoid having to spend any more nights in the car. $800 will get us 8 nights in a motel which can at least get us through the rest of the month. I am looking for work but given my predicament of two 14 month-olds I have not been able to get childcare as of yet. Thanks again for any support and happy holidays. After dealing w homelessness I also had to put my car in the shop and have been dealing with a transmission issue that I just can’t afford to repair so I’m also humbly asking for assistance with that.
Single mother facing eviction
UPDATE:
I cannot say thank you enough to everyone that donated to help me keep my home. Facing eviction and on the brink of being unhoused is beyond stressful and if it wasn’t for this community and mutual aid support I wouldn’t have been able to pay our rent bond to stay the eviction. Every single donation was a blessing. Thank you for helping me keep my home.
Last year 2025 my business closed leaving me in debt with no source of income. That same month my car broke down and was broken into so I haven’t been able to commute for work. I am facing eviction court this week and I have nowhere for my son and I to go. I’m pleading for help, I have a few days left to make the payment.
In need of housing experiencing a devastating family crisis
As a mother, my greatest wish is to give my children stability, comfort, and hope for a brighter future. I am currently experiencing a devastating family crisis that has turned my life upside down. I’m a domestic violence survivor, and after taking my children with me, we’ve been moving from couch to couch unable to afford certain things. I’m trying to raise enough to set us on good path. Everything feels overwhelming as I try to hold things together while facing uncertainty, emotional pain, and financial hardship. Each day brings new challenges that are difficult to manage, but I am doing my best to remain strong for my family. This situation has left us feeling vulnerable and in urgent need of stability, support, and compassion to help us move forward and rebuild.
Recovering from homelessness
I just started a new job. We recently just moved into a new place and we have nothing but 2 bags of clothes ,a sofa set n now 2 beds! I need help raising funds to do a down payment on a car so I can get back n forth to work.
Maternity Leave
I’m looking for mutual aid due to having to go without pay for maternity leave. I am the only head of household as well as the sole caregiver for my disabled dad. He gets a monthly check and half of that is gone for his own medication and bills. With me being down, I am really worried about all of the bills being paid. I’ll have car notes, rent, and utilities that have to be paid. $1000 would help put me at ease to be able to spend time with my newborn.
Urgent Help Needed for Single Mom and Kids
Hello, I’m a single mom of two wonderful children and right now we’re going through an incredibly difficult time. My rent is past due and I’m $600 short of covering it. In total, I need about $1,000 to help with food and commuting costs. I have a full time time job and get paid twice a month, but it’s still not enough to get us through this moment. I’m also without a vehicle, which makes getting to work extremely challenging and my family is far away up north. I don’t like putting myself out there like this, but I’m doing everything I can to give my children the life they deserve. Any support no matter the amount would mean the world to us and help us get through this difficult time. Thank you so much for your kindness.

I am a stay at home mom and she was the bread winner , all this happened within the matter of a month and some change , so quickly its been a crazy ride , we haven’t been able to pay rent or utilities , I’ve been using money traveling back and fourth to appointments of the children and of course being at the hospital everyday and my wife’s biggest advocate because as we know hospitals aren’t the best places to be when in a situation you cant always speak for yourself because your in constant pain . I go hard for my wife everyday , calling doctors even on the weekend because they done gave me their cell numbers , I dont play . But I have forgotten about myself on many occasions thus far and its time to snap back into reality and I really need help , we have 15 bags of laundry , 4 months of rent , and the foodstamps keep getting tuened off and on . I need to go to driving school which cost 400 so I can stop with the ubers and lyfts. I dont have one now because I have epilepsy and didnt think to get one but its been awhile since I have had one and doctor approves . Im here for the long road for my wife , anything for her , I dont know how long she has , we got married in 2023 , met in 2022 , and its been a lovely road , I want every second to the last moment of her life left for her to know I was there and I did everything I could to make her comfortable and help our little family succeed . Its in God’s hands , god doesnt put more on your plate than you can handle … so I am trying something new … like reaching out for blessings , guidance. Our goal is definitely to make sure we have stable housing, a way to travel and a way to wash all these clothes and straighten up our house. With my wife doing CHEMO everything has to be clean so thats another thing . But for her to be home itll be worth it all.Thank you for listening. Manifesting Blessings to all.
Help Single Father stop his eviction
I’m barely getting by and I’ve been paying late fees and legal fees consistently on my rent for about 4-5 months now. Because of my consistent late payments they want me to pay both months in full before stopping my eviction now. I just need to catch up so I can keep this place for me and my son and I will be ok after that, but for now I am drowning.
Single father of two in need of help with rent to avoid eviction
Single father of two beautiful daughters. Recently lost my job due to health issues and fell behind on rent. I’m working again, but still catching up. Any support during this time means more than you know I have part of the money I need 2500 more to reach my goal
Single mother of two who’s fallen on really hard times
I am a single mother of two who has fallen on really hard times in a very short span of time. I have always prided myself on making sure my children don’t know or couldn’t see that we were struggling, but with things falling apart so rapidly, it’s been hard to hide the fact that I am struggling to manage our basic needs. I don’t have any money to buy basic essentials such as toiletries or groceries. I’m forced to send my kids to school a lot of times with little to no snacks, and hope that they like the school lunch that day to actually eat it, because I don’t have the money to afford extras. When my bank account would be very low or negative, I would use my credit cards just so that we wouldn’t go hungry, but now that I’ve maxed them out handling those things, I don’t have a backup, so now I am going without most times just so that they can have something small to eat at night. I have asked my apartment complex to come down on the rent due to ongoing issues at the hands of the apartment, just so that my children and I don’t have to move like we normally do yearly. There are things that are pending due to be shut off. I am behind on my rent, uilities, cable, car note, and credit card bills. I am flooded with constant emails and text messages about late payments affecting my credit score and putting me in a bad position, but if I don’t have it, there’s nothing I can do. I cannot lose my car because that is our only means of transportation to get them to and from school and doctor’s appointments and get myself to work. Even with all that’s going on , my kids are very grateful for the little that they do have, so that makes me feel that I am doing something right in regards to them. They are still small enough to look at life through their innocent glasses, but big enough at the same time to see me struggle and sympathize and try to offer me with solutions to help at their young age. I don’t have family that is close and people that I do know that are close are in their own predicament, so no one is able to extend a helpful hand. I need way more help than the maximum amount limits listed. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially because it will then allow me to get back to a state of being present for my children.
Please help a young Black college grad struggling with eviction
Hello everyone, my name is Brianna. I moved to LA in September of 2024 so I could finish my degree and graduate. It was a long and stressful journey, but I finally earned my degree from UCLA this past June. However, now that my classes are over, I’m not receiving any more financial aid. That was what kept me afloat all this time. I’ve been looking for work since I got here, but the job market in LA is atrocious and even with hundreds of submitted applications and dozens of interviews, I haven’t found anything. I also started the process to get my substitute teaching credential months ago and that process has finally completed so I’m now able to find work that way, but it takes time that I do not have. Due to many delayed opportunities and months without work, I was evicted the day before Thanksgiving. Since then, I’ve been couch surfing and my plan is to move with a friend, however I need to get money for 1st month’s rent and the deposit. It took everything I had to move back here and finally earn this degree, hoping and praying it would help me find a better life. I don’t have family or many loved ones who can support me because we’re all on hard times. Please, anything helps, thank you.
A mom of two needing some help
Hey yall, I’m a mom of two doing everything in my power to hold it all together. My youngest son is battling kidney disease and spends 9 hours every single day on dialysis. Every moment, every beep of the machine, every sleepless night—I’m right there beside him.
Because of his care schedule, I haven’t been able to take on a second job. I want to—I would—but his health comes first. Between doctor visits, treatments, and trying to give both my children the love and stability they deserve, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day.
Recently, I had to make an impossible choice no parent should have to make: pay my car note to prevent it from being repossessed—the same car that gets my son to the hospital—or pay rent. I chose the car, because without it, I wouldn’t even be able to get him to his treatments.
Now, I’m behind on rent and facing the fear of losing our home. I’ve applied for assistance and am doing everything I can, but right now, I’m asking for help to keep us afloat—just until I can catch up.
If you’ve ever been in a place where you had to choose between two necessities… you understand how heavy that feels. Every dollar, every share, every prayer truly means the world to me and my children.
Please help me keep a roof over my kids’ heads while I fight for my son’s health and stability.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you for seeing us, for caring, and for helping a mother stay strong for her babies. 💔🙏🏽
Help to ensure we aren’t on the streets for winter and getting back on track
I’m financially struggling to keep a float, with bills constantly stacking due to me being my families only source of income. I’m currently taking care of my siblings and other family members. My grandma passed in September and they’ve been struggling since after paying funeral costs. I’m financially drowning in a constant loop not being able to make ends meet. Utilities has been late for months now with us praying they won’t shut anything off. I get paid only $15 an hour full time. The job market is terrible so this is all I have. We’ve had to go days without food due to not making enough even though I work almost everyday, doing doubles. Just needing help with getting ahead of things so that we can get out this loop. With the way things are going we can be at a high risk of being homeless by next month for the winter. My parents are a lot older and wouldn’t survive it. Any help is appreciated!
Breaking cycles
In August 2025, my grandmother passed away, and my life unraveled all at once. She was my family’s foundation, and losing her left me grieving while trying to stay strong for my daughter.
During this time, I faced serious emotional, mental, and financial hardship. I had to cover memorial expenses with only a small settlement, which quickly became overwhelming. On top of that, a family member began threatening and harassing us, repeatedly attempting to squat in the household. The situation became unsafe.
For the protection of myself and my daughter, we were forced to leave our home and live in a hotel for three weeks. Those weeks were filled with fear, uncertainty, and exhaustion as I tried to keep my child safe while figuring out our next steps.
We have since moved into a safer location, but the financial damage and emotional toll remain. I am asking for support to help us recover, stabilize, and rebuild after a period of loss, fear, and displacement.
Any support means more than words can express. I am currently in therapy and working on my Mental Health journey.

Help a Single Mother with necessities
Hello, i am the mother of 3 amazing girls, currently attending nursing school for my RN license. Being a mother is the best part of my life but as a single mother most, if not all of my extra money goes towards my children. I started nursing school not only to achieve financial independence for us, but moreso because one of my children has Lv 3 Autism. I want to provide each one of my children with the resources they need, even if that means learning and providing some of them myself. I am asking for help getting caught up on my bills as we are currently at risk of being homeless. Thank you!
HELP WITH EVICTION: A MUTUAL AID PLEA FOR HOUSING STABILITY
Hi community,
My name is Shanta.
I’m reaching out because I’m in urgent need of support. I recently received a 60-day notice to vacate because the property owner is selling. My credit is okay, but my rental history took a hit after COVID and years of instability. Living in the Atlanta area, housing costs are unreal right now—and without help, I’m facing homelessness again.
This situation is especially hard because I’ve already survived both domestic abuse and periods of homelessness in the past. I’ve been rebuilding my life piece by piece, working steadily, and trying to create a safe and peaceful home for myself. I’ve come too far to lose that progress.
Right now, I need to raise $3,000 to cover deposits, moving costs, and essentials to secure new housing. I’m doing everything I can, but I can’t meet this goal alone. Any contribution—no matter how small—or even a share, helps me stay safe and stable through this transition.
Mutual aid is about community care, and I deeply believe in that. I’ve been the one helping before, and I know I’ll be that person again once I’m on my feet. For now, I just need help getting through this moment.
Thank you for seeing me, for caring, and for standing with survivors trying to build new beginnings.

Help single mom of three kids cover hotel fees
Hello everyone. I’ve been in and out of a hotel for over a year now. From hotel to shelter to and some times my tiny car with my 3 children.. I have a 16, year old. 5 years old and 3 year old. Things weren’t always this bad for us. We were abandoned by my two youngest kids dad last year. With a car that didn’t have insurance or registration and no money, an no way to make money .. I do what I can the best I can. I work doing deliveries because it’s the only work I can do because of the assistance my autistic gets thru out the day and I have no one for pick ups and drop offs. So yes I’m still driving my car with no registration, no insurance making sure my daughter gets to school everyday, my 3 year gets to daycare and my 4 year gets to Aba and I pick them up all while trying to make enough to cover her room fees day to day. I’m just a mom who needs help, a break and assistance. I’m exhausted. I don’t have help. And I don’t know what else to do but to keep doing what I’m doing. Which is risking our transportation and our sometimes home to make it. somerimes I don’t even make enough to have a hotel I’m just trying to get us out of here and some where stable and safe.
Emergency Housing Deposit to Prevent Homelessness
After being laid off and losing housing earlier this year, I’ve been working to get back on my feet and was able to secure temporary housing. That temporary housing is coming to an end, and without a permanent place to move into, I am at risk of homelessness.
Recently, I received a blessing and was approved for low-income housing at just over $789 per month. The only thing standing in the way of securing this apartment is the security deposit and December’s prorated rent, which together total just over $1,000. This amount is due December 22nd.
This apartment is located in downtown Detroit, within walking distance of public transportation and hundreds of job opportunities. Because I am currently without a vehicle, this location is essential. Securing this housing would provide long-term stability, allow me to pursue and maintain employment, and gives me the foundation I need to rebuild my life.
Every penny counts so I greatly appreciate every cent that is donated.
Thank you
Rent Help After Losing Work in the Shutdown
When the government shutdown hit, I lost my job overnight. Now I’m fighting to keep a roof over our heads and a smile on my son’s face. I’ve always worked hard to provide and stay independent, but this sudden loss has made it difficult to cover rent and essentials. I’m doing everything I can to stay strong for my son, keeping his spirits high even when the uncertainty feels overwhelming.
I’m actively seeking new employment and holding onto faith that this setback is only temporary. Your kindness will help us stay housed and give me the chance to get back on my feet. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read our story and for showing compassion when it’s needed most.
With gratitude,
Ashley

Single mom needs Rent Help
Hello ,
I am needing help to raise money for rent. I got a notice and I am trying to prevent an eviction. I have a daughter and I don’t want to be on the streets. I do work but I was out sick and do not have pto or sick time and I got behind on bills. I am getting further behind so it’s hard to just catch up and get back in the rhythm of things.

This amount will alleviate the bills we’re behind on. Thank you so much for taking the time to read. May god bless you.
Emergency assistance for disabled mother
Hello, I am reaching out with an urgent plea for help due to some unexpected hardships that are far beyond my financial ability at this time. I was laid off from a remote job and have been for several months. Since the government shutdown, things have gotten much worse. Because of this, I’ve fallen behind on my mortgage and I am currently fighting to keep my utilities on. Given my physical disability, employers haven’t given me a chance. Things are extremely time sensitive and time is running out for us. I have exhausted every potential option. Every dollar will go to my utilities/overdue bills. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

A Mother Needing Help
Hello and blessings to everyone reading this,
I am a 33 year old woman with 2 children who are five and one. I away from my family and closest friends at the moment. My support is God and the powerful prayers of a God fearing mother. My oldest has a diagnosis of Down Syndrome, she is fortunately blessed with great health and she attends various therapies to help strengthen her skills. I’ve always been dependent on myself when it came to tough situations. After having my daughter I realized real strength is in community.
Recently their father and I got into a domestic dispute that led to me having to be hospitalized and eventually losing my job. Prior to this incident he only assisted with paying half of our son’s daycare and since then has opted out of doing that. The bills are already behind, my car (blessed to have it) is needing some TLC and I’m honestly barely holding it all together. I’ve been doing this thing called life for a while on my own and with children added into the mix has been physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausting. I truly just need some help. A leg up, something and I know from there myself and my children will be more than alright. I’ve survived this long, we deserve to thrive.
Grieving and homeless
Hi, my name is Valencia I’m 52 years old, and right now, I’m living in a shipping container.
This year has been the hardest of my life. I lost my mom in February, and since then, everything has fallen apart. I’ve been trying to stay strong, but it’s been a daily struggle just to get by.
I’m not someone who likes to ask for help, but I’m tired of living like this. I just want a safe place to call home — somewhere warm, where I can start over and heal.
I’ve been saving up on my own. Anything you can give, to help with the deposit on a apartment even a few dollars or a share, would mean more to me than I can say. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this.
Mom in need
Hello I’m a mother of 7. We usually do well on our own, but I lost my job in the middle of the year and we’ve been struggling since. I received possession eviction a few days ago, and I have until January 2nd to move my property out. I haven’t been able to find a job, I just need some help. Life is currently a mess and I don’t know where to turn, but I’ll be using the money to help with a few emergencies like finding a new place and expenses like groceries to feed my family while I try to get a job and try to find the next steps to restore our life.
Getting through a very hard point in life
As a devoted mom of five, I’ve been working full-time and attending school full-time to build a better future for my family. Recently, life took an unexpected turn as I’m going through a divorce and was hit with several major household repairs that I simply can’t afford right now. Life is already tearing my apart, and I can’t go into a hole while taking care of my children. Every dollar goes toward keeping a safe, stable home for my kids while I continue to work hard to provide for my children. Your kindness and support will help us stay afloat during this difficult season and remind my children that community truly cares.

I know everyone is dealing with their own struggles, and it’s hard to ask for this kind of help, but I’m doing everything I can to get back on my feet. Any support would not only help cover a basic necessity but also provide immense peace of mind during a stressful time.
Thank you so much to all of you for reading.

Hello I am a single mom of three children, we have been living in our place a little over 4 years now and the landlord has not truly did alot for this property. He basically been neglecting to the point I ask him to bring in professional help for all the mice and bugs that get in the home and he always says we’ll im not the one that place them in there what am I suppose to do is his response.

A little help needed
Hi everyone,
My name is Bree, and I never thought I’d be in a place where I’d have to write something like this. I’m 26 years old, and right now, I’m doing my best to stay strong — but I’m falling behind on rent, and I’m scared of losing my place in a city with no family.
The last few months have been a rollercoaster. Between unexpected bills, rising living costs, and trying to keep up basic everyday life, I’ve found myself slipping further behind no matter how hard I try. I’ve been applying to jobs, cutting back on everything possible, and doing what I can to stay afloat — but I’m still short on rent and facing the reality of possibly losing my home.
This isn’t just about a roof over my head. This is about stability, peace, and the small bit of hope I’ve been holding onto. My home is where I’ve been rebuilding myself — emotionally and mentally — after a few tough years. It’s where I’ve learned to find calm in chaos.
I’m asking for help to cover past-due rent and a bit of breathing room to get back on track. Anything, truly anything, helps — even sharing this means the world.
If you’re reading this, thank you for taking the time to care. It’s not easy asking for help, but I believe in kindness and community. Sometimes we just need a little lift to stand again.
With love and gratitude,
Bree

Please help a Black Woman after losing home & car
Hello everyone, I’ve been unemployed for 2.5 years & lost everything. I’ve been homeless, my car was repossessed, and for the first time in an extremely long time, I’ve been able to secure a job to be able to turn my life around and get out of the continuous rock bottom I’ve been living. This is my first actual job offer the entire time. I really don’t want to miss out on this opportunity.
I’m trying to raise enough to get my transportation to move from NC to Florida, and food and lodging costs covered so I can start work Monday morning. I was supposed to start this past Monday, but wasn’t able to make it.
Please help if you can.
Single mother facing eviction
Earlier this year, in February 2025, I lost my grandmother — the person who was my biggest support system and my only stable home. Since her passing, life has been a constant struggle to keep my baby girl and myself safe and sheltered.
With the little help I could get from friends, I managed to get a rent-to-own shed to live in. It’s not much, but I made it into a home for my daughter — a place where she could sleep safely and stay warm. Unfortunately, things have gotten harder. Without family nearby and no reliable childcare, I haven’t been able to keep steady work.
Now I’m facing eviction and repossession of the shed — and I’m terrified of having nowhere to go with my baby. I’ve tried everything I can to stay afloat, but I’m at a point where I truly need help.
Update:my mom’s car has broken down and that was our only transportation. My house is up for repossession and could be picked up any day.
🚨Help a Single Mom of Three Rebuild Stability After Job Loss and Housing Challenges
🚨CashApp: $Tamieka18 ,Venmo:Tamieka18 🚨Update: I started work on 12/15… I am so close but still yet so far I am in need of $1250 to secure the only place that I have been approved for. I am so thankful but if I can be transparent I am also so lost because if I don’t secure this place for us I honestly give up. Between hotel stays and food I’ve depleted my savings. I am tired and just trying to keep my girls & I together! 🚨
My name is T*****, a single mother of three in South Carolina. After losing my job of 2 years in August at no fault of my own, my children and I have been struggling to stay stably housed. Past housing issues including an eviction caused by unresolved maintenance problem (a sewer issue that caused me to have to break my lease agreement after 4 years and leave the home for the health and safety of my children and I…. The landlord out of spite filed an eviction unknowingly to me days after I had already cleaned, vacated the property, informed him and left key). and another tied to my recent job loss have made it nearly impossible to secure a new home, despite my best efforts.
We were ordered to vacate our apartment on 10/31 after nearly 5 years at the residence, and my daughters and I have been living in a hotel since. Between storage fees, hotel costs, food, and gas, my savings have been depleted. I’ve been actively interviewing and applying for work, and I’m grateful to share that I have a job offer starting soon within the next few weeks. I’ve also been approved for a new place after months of spending so much on application fees that went nowhere… but now I’m unable to cover the move-in costs. I now have until prior to December 15th to pay the deposit ($1500) & now prorated 1st months rent ($750) to be able to secure my place as the new tenant as the landlord has been very patient with my situation thus far. $247 storage fee has been paid.
I’m asking for support with deposits, remaining hotel nights, food, and basic expenses so my family can finally move into stable housing. Even $5, a share, or a lead on resources can make a real difference. Proof of our situation can be provided to anyone who needs verification. My oldest daughter is a senior, and all I want is for her & her sisters to be able to stay focused on school and not let what I’m going through affect their path in any way.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, sharing, or helping in any way. Your kindness means more than you know.
I’m so thankful for all who have donated to assist my girls & I. It is truly heartwarming to see that I am seen when I felt alone and that there a people in this world who don’t know us but have our back and I can’t wait to start work to be able to join you all & show up for others as well in this way! My children and I are truly grateful for everyone helping us in attempt to secure our new place.
With your generous support, I am so grateful to share that we have been blessed with $928.19 after donations fees were subtracted. Your kindness means so much to us. I still have $1,250 left to secure in order to move into our new place, and every bit of support helps us get closer. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Homeless, Please help us with overdue storage fees
Hello,
I’m reaching out for help during a really hard time. Since April 30th, my infant and I (my first child) have been homeless. We’ve slept in my car for a while, and during that time I received traffic violations. I had court the past month, and I was able to resolve it.
We’re currently living in an shelter also trying to cover moving costs so we can get stable housing. I haven’t been able to work because of being sick and dealing with severe postpartum illness.
Right now, I’m just trying to raise enough for our possessions in storage, the storage amount piled up over the months, I have some money saved, this will help us with the overdue storage fees, some bills, and some left over to take care of ourselves.
Thank you everyone for anything you can give.
Help a Disabled Black Theme Park Worker Survive Medical Leave
Hello my name is T**** and I’m reaching out to my community for aid. At the beginning of September, my health team was concerned over the physical strain my current role in the company was placing on my body and sent in for medical accommodations. I’ve seen been placed on medical leave and the processing for short term disability and applying my unspent PTO won’t kick in until much later. I’m desperately need help to make it until then, including covering this month’s rent and repairing my car so I can do food delivery and pet sitting to have some sort of income while I wait for my medical leave to end. Literally anything helps whatsoever!

After pretty much getting fed up and changing my OB Dr. I found out it was cancer all along Stage 3 Ovarian. I had surgery in Sept and just trying to find my way out of the hole that Im in.

If anyone could help id really appreciate it, thank you!
Keeping Faith, Single, Disabled Mom Recovering from Eviction
Peace Community. We are requesting community aid and mutual aid to try and piece our lives together from being blindsighted by an emergency possession eviction. It is so hurtful and painful to recall. My property manager said she was working with my Trustee office, she ended up refusing their payment and evicting because of her negative outlook on me. We were given 3 days. We could not represent ourselves in court, and still my request for representation fell short and we were told if we did not show, it would be an automatic possession. We fought for more time due to the other side committing perjury and was given two more days. We could not get even half of our belongings out because of my physical and non-physical disabilities. All of our food “tossed” neighbors say things were given away. A bed, given away. Supposedly 20 % of our belongings thrown away. Liquids, thrown away and possibly kept by the property owners. Filing a police report about the theft. A total nightmare. We lost heirlooms.
So we have a little less than a month to reclaim what items are being stored and there’s a daily fee. We are living in a shelter and it’s not stable, safe, sanitary or sustainable. I have developed a skin condition on my hand that is not being identified as treatable. It’s expected to be damaged for years. And this was a snowball effect from our car being totaled by a semi truck a few months ago, adding to my physical limitations. Transportation has been challenging, getting my son to school and trying to keep my job.
I have committed my life to community organizing when possible and service oriented work as often as I am able to work at all. I educate on ableism and advocate for varied abilities.
We pray this allows me to help others one day because it nearly pushed me to the edge. On the up side, I lost my faith for a little while, and somehow recovered it. I just know that losing faith can be a permanent wound and we’re so grateful we did not stay there. Thank you all in advance for your community and valuing our lives.

Help with paying rent, bills, and get groceries.
Hey ya’ll.
First and foremost I appreciate you taking the time to hearing me out. It’s been a rough year for me after finding myself in layoffs again due to current climate we have, suffering from some post-surgical complications and finding myself taking several trips to the ER, and also just trying to stay afloat and make sure I have food to eat and to keep on fighting and living life. Rent has gone up and so I’m reaching out here to ask for help. I’m behind on some major bills and and I won’t have enough for this month’s rent. Any amount is fine with me and I’m just grateful for people’s kindness and efforts.

Single mother needing help
Hello I am normally very shy. But at the moment it is just my son and I, he’s 3 and I’m his only parent. Normally I can keep us afloat but lately life has been hard for us. In April my car caught fire while I was driving it, despite losing the car I was still commuting to work because that was my only source of income, keeping our bills paid was difficult but not impossible.
I was doing a really good job I started having to take Ubers everyday which added on to expenses, but I still kept up, until I recently lost my job. Now we are facing utilities being cut off and I’m struggling to keep us fed. We are also very behind in rent and facing eviction.
I really appreciate any donation that is given to us, I just need some help to get us back at a point where we can breathe. Even just for a little bit.

Single mom needs helps
Hello, I recently lost my job. I’m a single mother of two daughters and I’ve been trying to find work. However, the offers haven’t been coming and I’ve fallen behind on important bills and we’re currently struggling trying to make ends meet. This will give me more time to secure a job and buy groceries. Please, every little bit helps.
Struggling since my husband passed away, please help.
My name is V******, and I never expected to be in a position where I would have to make a post like this. But life changed for me and my children in a way that I am still trying to process and survive.
I’m a single mom to three:
• My twins, C* and A**, who are 8 years old
• And my oldest, C****, who is 18 and living with disabilities
Their father passed away from a heart attack at just 35 years old. One moment we were a family trying to make things work, and the next, everything we depended on was gone. While trying to deal with that loss I’ve lost my job, a lot of other benefits that came with it.
Since passed away the truth is — I haven’t been the same since. Grief doesn’t have a timeline. It doesn’t get easier just because other people think it should. I am still lost. I am still trying to figure out how to stand, how to breathe, how to keep going while being everything my kids need.
And now with our food assistance ending next month, things have become even harder.
Any support offered would go directly toward the things we truly need:
• School clothes and everyday essentials for C* and A**
• Care needs and support for C******
• Household necessities like food, cleaning supplies, and basic items for daily life
Nothing would be taken for granted. Anything given would be a blessing to our home — handled with appreciation, care, and responsibility.
I am not asking for pity. I’m asking as a mother doing everything she can while still trying to heal from a loss that changed everything.
If you’re able to help in any way — sharing this, offering resources, or support — thank you. Your kindness is real. Your help would make a difference.
Thank you for seeing us.
Thank you for understanding.
Thank you for your compassion.
— V*****, C*, A** and C******

Single Mother of 3 Behind on Rent
Hello,
I am a single mother of 3. I am at risk of losing my home after being laid off from work on April 15,2025. I have managed to pay most of my rent and by the grace of God keep the lights and water running. I am asking for $600 to pay the remaining amount so that we are not out on the streets. I have found a new job and start working soon but without a place to live, I won’t be able to keep the job. It is a work from home position which is the only type of job that I can get since I have an autistic daughter who I am the primary caregiver for. I am out of options. My children and I will forever be grateful to each and every person that finds it in their heart to donate. Thank you in advance and God bless.
Single mom in need!
Hi! My name is Akhyah and I have two wonderful children. I was diagnosed with cancer on my uterus and had to have a full hysterectomy. That put me out of work and behind on bills.

I’m just trying to keep it together for my children.

Family needing assistance
Hi I’m a Mom of four , I have been diagnosed with HS a chronic skin condition, I have been unable to work for the last 6 months. I’m also still healing from having open heart surgery. I have recently applied for disability but that takes time. We have fallen behind on bills (car note not including late fee and rent ) and it’s also been hard getting personal items. School also starts in a few days. I have asked for all the help I can from family. I’m a very shy person so this was hard to do but the need for help is way bigger than my pride. Thank you to anyone who helps and even if it’s just a prayer you are truly appreciated.
Help save vehicle for work
Hi, my name is Brenae, and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult times of my life. I’m currently a student enrolled in a web development program, working hard to build a better future for myself. To make ends meet while in school, I drive for Uber/Lyft in my spare time.
Recently, I fell behind on my car payments while trying to juggle the cost of rent, and other essential bills. Despite working as much as I can between classes, I couldn’t keep up with everything. My car was repossessed, and now I’m facing $2,195 in past-due payments plus $400 in towing and storage fees – a total of $2,595. If there’s any help you can give it would mean the world.
Single Mother of 2 under 3 at Risk of Homelessness
Hello to all. I am going to swallow my pride today and ask for some much needed help. The last few months have been very trying and I can’t seem to catch a break. I was recently in a car accident on 10/12/25. My car was totaled. I have been back and forth to doctors appts and losing a lot of time at work. I have 11 month old and 32 month old boys. I am in fear of being evicted from my apartment next month because I won’t have enough funds to cover my rent for November. I was already a few dollars short for October due to some unexpected repairs that I’d made on this same vehicle previously. My apartment won’t take partial rent payments which is not helping me. I don’t get food stamps at all. Everything comes out of my pocket. I feel like I have nowhere to turn. I am asking for a donation to help cover remaining balance on rent October and transportation to get to upcoming WIC and doctors appts. I have no family here in TX and funding is limited for assistance. God bless and thank you for considering me.
Family in Desperation, behind on RENT and family vehicle (2012 jeep laredo repairs)
Our family vehicle has been down for 6 weeks and we’re behind on rent. We use that vehicle to go to work/do work, transport the kids, it’s just very important in our household, and my Wife and I don’t have many people we can depend on. Please help if you can.
Help with Housing Debt
My name is Nox, and I have been stuck living in hotels since 2023. Can’t get permanent housing because I owe a debt of 4.4K to a leasing company for back rent. It has been damn near impossible to get a place because they see that debt and immediately say no, even though I have a job and can afford rent. This will help me start saving toward paying that off so it can be removed from my credit reports. Living in hotels is more costly than paying rent. Online I also use the name Noxturn Syndicate.
Financial Hardship
I don’t usually open up like this, but right now my heart is heavy and my spirit is tired. My family and I have been going through some really hard times financially for the past few months, barely keeping things together. Lately I’ve been struggling to pay bills especially the electric to the point I’m only able to put money towards after weeks at a time. On top of that, we’re dealing with a pain no one should ever have to carry—my brother was tragically taken from us… murdered. The family spent a lot of our savings on funeral and burial costs.
The grief is overwhelming, and while we are doing our best to stay strong, we are also praying for justice. My brother didn’t deserve this. No one does. His life mattered, and we won’t stop fighting for the truth to come out and for those responsible to be held accountable.
If you believe in prayer, I humbly ask that you pray for my family—for strength, for peace, and for justice. And if you’re not the praying type, please just keep us in your thoughts. Every bit of love and support means more than you know.
Thank you for listening. 💔🙏
Single Black Father and Daughter Facing Eviction
Hello everyone, my name is Ian. I’m reaching out to our community with honesty and humility. I am a single father to a wonderful 5 year old daughter who recently started school for the first time. In order to be there for her each day, I had to switch to a job with hours that allow me to be present with her before and after school. While this was the best decision for her, it came with a significant pay cut that has made it very difficult to keep up financially.
I’ve been my daughter’s only consistent parent for nearly four years, and right now I’m struggling to make ends meet. Since September 2025, I have not been able to pay my rent, so I’m facing eviction. I’ve been working overtime, but it hasn’t been enough to catch up with rent, especially while also covering groceries, childcare, and other bills on my own.
I’m raising funds to help keep stable housing and provide a consistent life for my daughter. Any support would mean everything to us. Thank you for your kindness.
Black Trans Woman needs help with Bills
Hello everyone. After losing my job recently I’ve been going through a very hard time. I’m the sole care-taker of my brother who’s on the spectrum. I’ll be able to bounce back, but I’m currently behind on my water and electric bills as I look for work. I don’t know how to explain it but navigating everything while being a Black Trans woman makes things even harder. Anything at all helps, please help if you can.
Help Securing Stability for My Family
I’m reaching out humbly today asking for a hand up toward stability for myself and my two children. I’ve always been a hard worker, but I haven’t been able to secure consistent work recently and it’s created real hardship for my family.
Because of this gap in income, I’ve fallen behind on several essential bills. I currently have a disconnection notice for my water bill for Nov 4th, and if I don’t pay my city sewer and sanitation balance, it will be added to my landlord’s property taxes, which Will become grounds for eviction on the 1st. I’m doing everything I can to prevent that from happening!
Every bit of support means the world to me and my children.
Thank you sincerely for reading, caring, and taking the time to understand our situation. May God bless you!
Unexpected Hardship. Anything Would Help.
Hello!
Thank you for reading. I’m a seasonal worker, and typically, between what I save and odd jobs, I can float through each off-season until work picks back up. Unfortunately, on top of unexpected medical bills, my AC unit went out, and I’m flat broke. I even started donating plasma, but the employees screwed up the needle and deferred me for two months. I have no money and have sent out many job applications, but I cannot get hired anywhere (it’s summer in the desert, and everyone is struggling). I need help. I can’t even get unemployment because of some technical error that’s taking months to fix.
I have car insurance, groceries, utilities, medical bills, a car payment, etc. I don’t start work again until late fall, so anything would help. Thank you for your time and generosity, and I will pay it forward.

Help Pay Rent, Groceries
Hello Friends and Supporters, I hope this message finds you well. I am sharing a personal story with you and reaching out for your support during a challenging time in my life. Earlier this year, I underwent back surgery that required a lengthy recovery period. To my dismay, I had to undergo a second surgery in March. The physical and emotional toll of this experience has been overwhelming. Compounding the situation is the fact that my current job is contract-based, offering no benefits, short-term FMLA, or adequate sick leave and I work for the government so the certainty of me keeping my job has cause an immense amount of pressure. The thought of losing my job due to a prolonged medical leave compelled me to return to work earlier than I should have, all while enduring the pain and searching for a remote job that would allow me to recover at home without financial repercussions. Many have wondered why I haven’t taken the time to care for myself. The simple truth is that I am a parent with a 2-year-old son, and my primary concern is securing his future and providing for my family. My husband and I have a home to maintain and are resolute in our efforts to ensure stability for our son. Despite my husband’s hard work, there’s been significant setbacks and pay cuts , leaving us struggling to afford groceries and basic necessities. The surgeries, coupled with the days I’ve missed from work over these past months, have created a significant financial burden. Without stable income, I am falling behind on rent and struggling to provide food for my family, jeopardizing our housing security and our ability to meet our son’s basic needs. Today, I turn to you for assistance in raising funds to cover our rent and groceries during this difficult time. This support will not only help us maintain our home but also ensure that I can continue my recovery without the added stress of financial instability and the fear of losing our housing or going hungry. Your generous contributions will make a profound impact on my life, and I am deeply grateful for any support you can provide. Whether it’s a small donation or sharing this message with others, every bit helps. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.
Help me keep my family going.
Hello, 8 months after having my first baby I found out I had cancer and have since lost my job due to it. I am currently battling Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, a rare cancer that affects less than 1,000 people per year. I am unable to work due to not only treatment but pain in my pancreas and back due to the tumors pushing on vital nerves and tissue. As of now I need constant assistance with everything I do. I do not qualify for assistance from my state, and have been waiting for updates since April for anything. I currently struggle to pay for my car and groceries and just need a little aid to get me through this month. Literally anything would help and I would be so grateful to just be heard. It’s been very difficult dealing with this as it felt like I was robbed of bonding time with my baby.
Thank you. God bless you.

Hey everyone. While my first pregnancy was supposed to be exciting while celebrating the five month mark the doctor said there was no more heartbeat. I’ve been devastated, I went into a major depression and was unable to leave the house or work for awhile.

Single Black Mother & daughter in need
Hello everyone! My name is Phylicia. I’m a young woman who has been recently become unemployed, and am taking care of my mother. I have been on a job search since April, but have been unsuccessful in my search. I managed to have my rent paid for from my savings for May, June and July but August and September rent are due/coming due & I still have yet to obtain employment. My mother has been declared disabled after having suffered a minor stroke awhile back, and is unable to bring in any more than her small SSI check. Also my small unemployment checks are not enough to cover rent, utilities, food and household needs, and my savings have helped cover the last few months but have run low. Unfortunately if rent is not paid, we will be evicted. We never thought we’d be in a position where we’d have to ask complete strangers for help, but The Most High told us to put our pride aside for once. If you can help with any amount, it would be heavily appreciated.
Thank you so much and may God bless you in advance!
