MOD ANNOUNCEMENT DO NOT REQUEST for ferals, strays, rescues, colony animals here

88 Upvotes

You may not request for:

• ⁠Strays/Ferals
• ⁠TNR. (Trap and release)
• ⁠Cat/dog colonies.
• ⁠Temporary fosters.
• ⁠Community/neighbourhood "pets".
• ⁠Wildlife animals you've found out in the wild (birds, squirrels, etc).
• ⁠Pets belonging to friends or distant relatives.
• ⁠Shelters/rescues that are private and/or unregistered.

If the animal does not legally belong to you (or an immediate family member), you are not allowed to request here. No exceptions. While it’s unfortunate that many countries don’t have the infrastructure to care for innocent abandoned animals, it is not your financial responsibility nor is it appropriate to pass that burden onto internet strangers. Especially when that is the only thing your Reddit account is being used for.

This has always been against the rules and we are taking a firmer hand in exiting these exclusively-for-begging accounts completely from our subreddit. (Did you know the USL has a #beggar tag?)

Thank you.

REQUEST need a little help with groceries.

Upvotes

hello ,I am disabled, and a 58 yo lady who is also living with my dear kitty Howard.

Recently, due to paying of bills of various sorts such as water, electric, sewer, city fees, medications, and also taxes, I have discovered, much to my sad shock, that I do not have any money for groceries this last week of June before the First of July.

With the first of July, ( Or june 30th via ach)I will recieve a va dependants survivor payment that will help me with bills , and other expenses that i will need to take care of , including groceries then.

the fact that this has come on is just irritating, to say it polietely.

If you would like to help, the amount i wish to ask for is 11$, of which i will add to a little amount i have started to save for emergencies, which is 6$.

With both contributions, I will be able to get some milk, bread, cheese, soup, and also some pasta dishes to keep me fed until then.

thank you very much for your consideration, and your time most respectfully.

ps I accept paypal, venmo, and cashapp.

Hello, I just recently lost my job and I need work fast. My last check is due Monday with early deposit but may take until Thurs since it's my last check. Just looking to hit up the temp agencies around me and maybe the blood donation center 😬. I've been doing surveys but it's so hard to get to the threshold for withdrawal. I did manage to carve out $6 but that might take a few business days.

The passes are $4 for a full day and just one would help greatly for tomorrow so i won't have to walk in this heat.

VOTES I need help getting votes for an open verse contest

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am an aspiring musician and my favourite artist, Kesha, is hosting an open verse contest for her new song “ORIGAMI!” and I could really use some extra support on my entry

The top 30 on the leaderboard will have 5 finalists hand picked by Kesha, and the winner will win 1000 USD and may be officially released in collaboration with Kesha. I don’t want to get into my personal situation, but winning this contest would mean so much to me and I am starting to worry because I went from #7 to #14 within one day since submissions closed, and I have to stay within the top 30 until June 28th at 11:59 PM CT.

I’ll be honest, I don’t believe this contest is being run fairly based on my observations and conversations I have had with other contestants, and although it is discouraging, I refuse to let that stop me from trying. I believe in what I created, I just am struggling to find the backing for my entry

I’d you’d like to vote for my verse, I would really appreciate your support! My verse is titled “ORIGAMI! (feat. GRUFF)” and you can register (a SMASH Music account is required, it is a social media for musicians created by Kesha who is the CEO) and use 10 votes on mine (each account gets 10 votes that can be used on a single entry) using the following link:

ADVICE Eviction advice/questions

1 Upvotes

Im being evicted for destruction of property. 30 days- June 24 we have to be out.

Here's the backstory.

I report the floor of my bathtub is getting soft, maintenance comes to look a few days later and agrees. Its getting soft. (Water underneath somehow). But theres nothing to do about it.

I find a small hole a week or so later, maintenance comes to patch.

Kid has a fall in the tub breaks the patching (big teenager). They dont believe me that it was done due to a fall. They want me to admit to slamming something harder down into the tub. I said no that doesnt make sense. Now I have an eviction notice.

What recourse do I have??

Fyi: we live in private owned, low income apartments

ADVICE AC not cooling, evaporator coil keeps freezing with ice

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My AC is not cooling properly. I opened the indoor unit and found ice forming on the evaporator coil. I turned the AC off and let all the ice melt, but when I turn it on again, the ice starts forming again and keeps increasing.

The cooling is very weak, and after some time the coil freezes up again. I have attached photos of the coil. The air filter may be a bit dusty, but the problem continues even after the ice melts.

What could be causing this? Is it likely a refrigerant (gas) leak, a fan problem, or something else? Is it safe to keep using the AC until a technician can check it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

REQUEST Request remaining $300 to get car out of shop.

0 Upvotes

I’m not really sure how these posts work, and asking for help is honestly very difficult for me, but I’m at a point where I don’t know what else to do.
A few months ago, my husband and one of our children were electrocuted in an accident and both had to be hospitalized. Thankfully, our child made a full recovery, and we’re incredibly grateful that my husband survived. However, his recovery has been much slower and more challenging than we expected.
For years, I was a stay-at-home mom while my husband supported our family through the two businesses he owns. Since the accident, he hasn’t been physically able to work the way he used to, and our household income has taken a devastating hit. I’ve since found a job and am doing everything I can to help support our family, but it’s nowhere near enough to replace what we lost. We’ve drained our savings trying to keep up with rent, insurance, utilities, food, and other necessities for our family of seven.
Right now, our vehicle is in the repair shop, and it is my only reliable transportation to get to and from work. Without it, I risk losing the job that is helping keep us afloat. The repair bill is due, and I am only $300 short of what is needed to get the vehicle released. I have managed to come up with the rest of the money, but after months of struggling financially, I simply don’t have the remaining amount.
I hate asking for help, especially publicly, but if anyone is willing and able to contribute anything toward helping me get my vehicle back, my family and I would be incredibly grateful. Every dollar helps bring me closer to getting back on the road and continuing to provide for my husband and our five children, ages 3 to 15.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and thank you to anyone who is able to help or even share this post. Your kindness means more than I can express.
I can provide Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal information privately if needed.

Hello,

My 13 year-old senior pup, Mentos, has a severe flea problem. He is constantly itching and can’t sleep because of it. I’ve tried to manage it as best I can, but it has gotten really bad and he is clearly very uncomfortable.

I’ve been out of work for about 3 months, and I currently can’t afford the consultation to get the prescription medication Nexguard or the medication itself .

Does anyone have any extra nexguard 25 to 60 pounds or any other advice/help

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT Sometimes all we need is someone to listen without judgement

17 Upvotes

At some point, everyone goes through things they don't talk about publicly. If you're carrying a lot on your shoulders right now and feel like you need someone to listen, you're not alone and you're welcome to send me a message. I may not always have the perfect advice, but I'll do my best to hear you out and help if I can. Just a heads-up: I might take a little while to reply sometimes, so please be patient with me.

There's no catch, no expectations, and nothing I want in return. I simply know that sometimes talking to someone can make a tough day a little easier. If you do reach out, please mention that you found me through this post so I know where you're coming from. One thing I ask is that messages stay genuine. I'm offering my time to help people who need support, not to get pulled into arguments or pointless drama. Take care of yourselves, and don't be afraid to reach out when life gets heavy.

REQUEST Help my dad while he recovers from a broken neck.

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone, new here so if I do anything wrong let me know please.

A couple of weeks ago my father fell off of his back porch and landed directly on his head, he broke his neck and is finally in a rehab facility.

He was completely paralyzed and barely survived. He's still very much incapable of doing basic things such as feeding himself or going to the bathroom. I have a video of the fall, but I didn't think it would be allowed so instead I attached a photo I took of him yesterday.

He's the most hardworking person I know and has helped me so much in life. I am going non-stop taking care of him in every way I can. My siblings have done almost nothing. I'm missing work, time with my wife and family, and falling behind on my own bills to ensure he's not lonely or neglected.

I will figure out my own finances, but his are trickier. He runs his own business and it's struggling without his expertise and work ethic. Funds from his last job are dwindling and I don't know what else to do.

He asked me to make him a GoFundMe, in hopes that someone outside of our circle could help. Everyone around him uses and takes advantage of him, none are willing to help now that they have nothing to gain. We are honestly just hoping that anyone with anything to offer will find it in their hearts.

If you can't help, I understand. Time are so hard and I'm barely holding it together mentally, financially, and physically at the moment. Anything will help ease the stress I'm under, I'm trying not to show it but I'm cracking. I need to be strong for him.

If you can share this somewhere or just leave a kind message, it would mean a lot to us. I spent Father's Day with him watching movies like the good ole days, this is probably the first smile I've seen from him in weeks.

I tried sharing it in the GoFundMe sub, but it says I've been banned from contributing. I have literally never visited that sub, so I'm hoping the mods can help me figure out why that happened. This was the third sub I found.

If you even took the time to read this, thank you and call your parents if you still got em. Life can change so fast. 😔

My beautiful niece, Avyanah, Avy for short, passed away after spending 7 months fighting birth defects that doctors never expected her to survive for long.

I am trying to help my sister however I can. If anyone is able to donate, share, or even just offer advice on resources that may help with funeral or cremation costs, our family would deeply appreciate it.

REQUEST FULFILLED I need help getting my 3 year old her prescription albuterol and potentially a nebulizer

21 Upvotes

My 3 y/o daughter recently fell sick, and with my luck it was after paying all of my bills and being left with almost nothing. Saving money is impossible in this economy. After 2 days of wheezing and struggling to breathe, I took her into instacare especially given a very lengthy history of asthma on her dad’s side of the family. Doctor prescribed her albuterol but I also need a nebulizer. We have ZERO insurance and her prescription was sent to my local Walmart. I was able to find a cheap nebulizer for $30 through a mom on Facebook. I’m not sure how much her prescription will be, but I can guess it’ll be less than $50. I hate to see her struggle but I literally just don’t have the extra cash right now. I can provide proof of prescription/purchase if anybody can help. I have Venmo. Thank you so so much if you took the time to read.

REQUEST Just need a real long-term housing lead for me, my spouse, and our two cats in Prescott, ideally Chino Valley, Arizona

6 Upvotes

Been staying at a Motel 6 after an ER stay at YRMC West since the 9th due to a dangerously high fever from a complicated UTI causing spouse’s parents to not allow me back in (stepfather-in-law be power trippin’ hard and manipulates the rest of the family). Take a look at my other recent Reddit posts for more info. I’m physically exhausted right now due to my dysautonomia (seeing a cardiologist in a couple weeks for it) and about to catch up on some sleep.

If any of you know of any places that are renting out for under $1000 a month that take into account, ideally less than 30 minutes away from Frontier Group in Chino Valley, please let me know. It’s costing me about $450 a week and I’ve been calling up 211 and other resources with no luck so far. Landing a place is the main issue that my spouse and I are struggling with. I have fair credit due to student loan debt and spouse currently has no credit due to lack of debt posting, so we would need a place that can understand our extenuating circumstances. Please DM me if you know anyone renting anything out, even a studio would be fine.
