My bunny Lady Anne has some health issues to say the least. But despite that, on Wednesday night we had the biggest health scare yet that has left us with no answers, nowhere to turn, and no progress in her current state. If we can’t figure out what is wrong in the next week, the vets have alluded to euthanasia. If she even makes it that long.

Right now she cannot eat, control her bladder, pass stool, or go more than 30 minutes without making noises of pain. She is on a lot of medications in hope that this is some kind of infection, but we won’t know anything until she is able to be hospitalized and seen by a radiologist. Her bloodwork, CT scan, and X rays of her abdomen were all normal. No blockage, stool looked normal, everything fine. But she cannot eat, drink water, or even go 30 minutes without making noises of pain. It is killing me. They suggested it could be a uterine stump issue or a mechanical issue with her intestinal functions. They suggested an ultrasound with a radiologist but I would need to hospitalize her to in order to do it and I’m simply out of money. I’ve spent 5k on her in the 5 months we’ve had her running tests for her previous kidney issues, mostly suspected to be cancer, which apparently have nothing to do with this current medical emergency. We went to three different exotic vets in the last 3 days.

Her current gofundme is for her previous cancer bills, but everything we raised has been spent on her medical bills. If anyone has anything to spare before her next appointment tomorrow it would be greatly appreciated. I have no where to turn and I don’t want to lose her, neither does her husbun Pugsley. They have an unreadable bond and I would hate to have her taken from us so soon. Thank you for taking the time to read this even if you can’t donate. Please keep us in your prayers.

It's been a rough couple of weeks. I'll put a TLDR at the bottom.

Really started around a month ago. I was dating a gal for a few months, and things were going well. I mentioned my roommate was moving out, and she offered for me to move in with her at the end of October. Around a month ago, she started dating another gal (okay by me, we're both poly), and ended up forgetting about me for the most part. I didn't handle this well, and although she did eventually offer to start going to the gym with me again, I was already really hurt and lashed out. While speaking to my mother about what happened, she said I may be able to stay with them instead. I misunderstood and told the gal I was dating I could definitely stay with my parents, and she said I could no longer move in with her. I talked to my parents two days later, and they said that I couldn't stay with them. Their proposal was an unhoused encampment in my hometown, Medford.

The timing on this is unfortunate. I just started up at college again during the summer term - I was tired of dead end jobs and struggled with my work due to, until somewhat recently undiagnosed ADHD. There's probably a few other things going wrong in my head, and I'm working with my psychiatrist currently to get those sorted. Since I lost my last job nine months ago, I've applied for hundreds of positions and haven't even managed to get an interview. My parents have been incredibly generous, supporting me while I wasn't able to find work and helping me continue my studies, but their savings are gone. They can't help me any more.

I don't want to stop going to college. I'm 27 now. When I was 16 I was supposed to be some whiz kid that was already starting college classes, but due to a mix of that undiagnosed ADHD, apathy about my life due to unrecognized gender dysphoria, and my just not knowing where I wanted to go in life I failed out of college and was put on academic probation. Now that I'm back in classes, medicated, and have a better understanding of my identity and goals I'm doing my best to succeed. I got As in both classes I took in summer term with a 6 credit courseload, and so far in this term I have As in all of my classes at a 16 credit courseload. I want to finish my associates, pursue a bachelors in PoliSci and Anthropology, then go for a J.D. in Constitutional Law. Ideally I want to work with organizations like the Trans Rescue Project to help trans folks get into a safer place and get the resources they need to thrive. I know that I can do this, but the circumstances of my personal life have me terrified that even with the work I'm putting in I'll fail due to a lack of resources.

In the immediate term, I have lodging. Two friends of mine have said I can stay with them for a few days at a time and rotate between their houses, which will have me covered through the entire week. They said I can continue to do this through the end of Fall term at the least, meaning that I'll have reliable access to shelter and wifi to complete my coursework. I'm on food stamps, so I'll have food sorted out as well. I have a therapist that's covered by Medicaid and can keep meeting with her, plus a counselor through my school

In the less immediate term, I'm at a crossroads. I can stay here, try to find a place, keep applying for jobs, and just hope beyond hope that everything works out. I've been taking this approach, and it's done nothing but drain the people around me and put everyone in a worse situation while I do nothing but get older. Alternatively, I can take a leap that I haven't before and leave my hometown. I have friends in a few different towns that have offered my a place to crash while I get situated, and all I have to do is figure out how to get there and get started.

That brings me to my gofundme. I have some debt I need to deal with. My roommate wasn't able to cover her portion of rent and bills for the last few months, so I had to eat those costs despite not having the money for it. The bills were in my name, so now I have collections letters showing up. I'm in debt with no one I can turn to, and money that drops into my account flows right back out to pay off debts. If I can get past the hurdle of that debt and the logistics costs of getting to my next place, I know I can stabilize and build myself from there.

I'm currently in touch with six colleges, three in Portland, one in Spokane, one in Eugene, and one in Reno, friends from each of those cities who have offered me a couch to crash on while I get things sorted, and organizations in each of those areas that help folks find jobs and get situated. Once I'm set with the new college I intend to get work either via a referral from a friend or by going through job orgs in the respective city, and the remainder of my costs will end up coming from student loans. I've already accepted that there is no way to get my degree without taking out a lot of loans. I have my plans for each town ready to go and am working with academic advisors to figure out the best path forward. I'll be settled on a specific plan by the end of November.

I don't know what else to include here. If I'm being honest, I started crying again trying to write things out and although I've read over the post a couple more times I fear I'm just rambling. I'm scared, everything in my life has blown up in a week and a half and I just don't know where else to turn. I wanted to keep my gofundme to private circles, but the goal has stalled out and I'm terrified that I won't make it and the options I've been looking into will remain out of my reach. I'm terrified that I'll be locked back into being the failure I was before, but now entirely homeless.

TLDR: My housing, relationship, and finances all crumbled in the last two weeks. I'll be homeless at the end of this month. More than anything I want to continue my education and be a daughter my parents can be proud of. If you can help me get there I would appreciate it more than words can ever say. My full goal is $5k, as that will get my out of debt and provide some money for transport and logistics getting up to the city I end up transferring to.

Thank you

Hello,

About a month ago my cat Autumn started showing signs of digestive issues. She eventually became quite constipated and I took her to a vet, where they gave her an x-ray and a series of enemas.

After a couple of days her symptoms returned. Three more trips to the vet over the last two and a half weeks have yielded similar results - a day or two of positive developments then her symptoms returning.

Finally, after another trip to the vet this past Wednesday, three enemas and a switch in laxatives she is showing some faint signs of recovery.

However, my extremely low income has caused these vet visits to be focused on immediate treatment rather than finding a diagnosis. I still don't know what could be at the root of all this and I am worried that things can deteriorate quickly again before long. That's why I plan to use the money raised here to get proper diagnostic tests and cover any urgent treatment that may arise.

I have spent all of my savings on these treatments and I am afraid that if things take a turn for the worse then I will have no choice other than sending her over the rainbow bridge because I can't afford further care.

Autumn has been my best friend through some tumultuous years and even through this ordeal she has shown me so much strength and love. I feel that I owe it to her to return that love and do whatever I can to keep her well, which is what brings me here.

Hello, We have received a lot of donations from friends and acquaintances who know this family, but it is still not enough to cover Luciana's life saving treatment. We are trying to share with strangers or find a way to raise enough money to cover the treatment she needs. The family can't take her to Rome because it is a 3.5 year treatment and $20k and living expenses could be over $100k during such a long period in Italy. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to help Luciana please feel free to DM me. Or anyone aware of other clinical trials or charities who can support with these sorts of medical emergencies threatening a young indigenous girls life.Luciana (7) has been fighting cancer (acute myeloid leukaemia) for over a year now.. She is the granddaughter of Maestra Lucí and Agusto, the owners of mai niti healing center.

Sadly, Luciana’s condition is worsening, and the treatment available in Peru is damaging her healthy cells. Her doctors have recommended specialised treatment in Rome, Italy, where children with her condition have been successfully treated.

Any support you can give, even your thoughts and prayers, will be greatly appreciated.

On July 4, 2026, I was involved in a gruesome accident where a drunk driver ran the red light and crashed into me. Since then, I have been left without a car and was unable to work for two months. That time away from work put me deeply behind on my bills, and I’ve been struggling ever since to catch up, let alone afford a new car.

Without reliable transportation, I've also had to neglect my physical therapy that would allow me to heal from my injuries including herniated discs in my neck, two scratched corneas that left me partially blind, and a broken finger that is still healing.

I hate having to ask for money, but after being turned down for debt consolidation, personal loans, and multiple other financial relief avenues, I truly don’t know where else to turn anymore. Any and all help and donations is appreciated.

Thank you all for your support.

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I’m posting here cause I’m desperate and am seeking any bit of life like. My dad was recently diagnosed with liver failure, and doesn’t have a lot of time left. I love my dad, and even though we have our qualms, I want him to have a comfortable time left, maybe a bit more time if possible.

I hate asking for help, so does my whole family honestly, but I already take care of my disabled mother and funds have been essentially nonexistent while I’m trying to find a full time job that pays enough. He doesn’t have health insurance, and he was laid off from his job back last year and has been doing odd jobs since.

I honestly don’t know what else to write without getting emotional. We’re just asking for some help with getting his prescriptions, mainly his antibiotic, and hospital and doctor visits he’s going to have. Any little bit would be so, so, so, so, so appreciated and helpful. Any little bit matters. If anyone has questions I’ll do my best to answer. This is my first time posting in this sub, so if i did anything wrong please let me know.

Thank you for reading <3

I am at a loss of what to do.

For the last few weeks, I had noticed a big change in 1.5 year old cat, Baby. First, she began to withdraw. Then she stopped becoming interested in playing. And then I also noticed she began eating less. Finally, she started going to the bathroom outside of the litter box.
All of this happened very gradually and it didn’t hit me until I put everything together and realized something was wrong.

I am low income. Way below the poverty line. I had to beg my grandmother to please pay for me to get Baby checked out at a low cost, walk in clinic.

Upon examination, she was said to have a low-grade fever of 104°, paleness in her ears and gums… and worst of all was her stomach was firm.

I agreed for bloodwork and an x-ray to be performed.

The x-ray showed a mass in her abdomen, pressing against her stomach and internal organs.
Her white blood cell count was low.

Honestly, as soon as I was told that she had a mass in her stomach, I became nearly hysterical and started crying.
All of what I could hear the vet tell me was - tumor, lymphoma… and based on her ‘experience’, the prognosis is never good.
Surgery could be performed, but that’s around $1200-$1400. And normally the tumor begins growing quickly again.
She had a thick Indian accent and was talking fairly quickly, so there were some things that I didn’t catch. Not to mention because of my crying. I asked her if she could print out this information for me…. The x-ray, the blood work, etc. Do you know what she said to me? No.

I was shocked. I didn’t understand why she wasn’t willing to print this out for me. So that’s why I had to literally take a picture of Baby’s x-ray, using my own phone.

And then, with the papers that I was given one being the invoice and the other showing the visit, as well as a past visit from last year - all she wrote was abdominal mass and anemia.
I find all this to be pretty upsetting because I feel like it doesn’t contain detailed information. I know I know, I should have asked, but I was not in the right state of mind at all.

I had to do my own research afterwards and did learn that with surgery, the outlook still isn’t that great. The tumor can easily come back.
But then I learned about steroids - one being prednisolone and the other being chlorambucil. From what I’ve learned, I guess it can shrink the tumor and give her a boost and energy and appetite. Simply providing more time. But even that is only temporary because I guess eventually the tumor will stop responding to the steroids.

I don’t understand why the vet didn’t inform me of this option. She basically just made it sound like there’s no hope so you might as well just put her to sleep.

I would really like a second opinion from another vet, but I just don’t know if I even have enough time.

Baby mostly just lays around. She is still eating a bit, but only wet food. Isn’t touching the water. So I take the water and mix it in with her wet food. She just urinated shortly ago and couldn’t get her back legs into the litter box so she ended up going onto the floor. And yes, I already have something much lower set up that she could go into, but I know she’s just so used to using the other one.

So I am at two different crossroads: Either try to get a second vets opinion and maybe hopefully, if the vet feels that it’s appropriate, get the steroids. But if not… and as much as it would break my heart, a peaceful goodbye and a private cremation because I want her home with me.

In regards to the photos that I’ve posted above:

The two papers are literally the only ones that the vet gave me. Like I said, she refused to print out anything. It astonished me. I don’t know if it had something to do with it being a low-cost vet or what. Like I said, I had to take a picture of the x-ray screen myself with my own phone.
Originally when we got Baby, my grandma had named her ‘Sweet Pea’ - which is what is showing on the paper. But after a period of time and me being the main one who was taking care of her, I chose to name her Baby.
Like I stated, my grandma is the one who paid for her visit.
If the admin or mods, need any other information for me, please DM me.

I do not have any pet insurance whatsoever. I’ve tried to sign up for CareCredit and was denied.

I have a GoFundMe set up. Originally I wanted to try for the surgery, which is why I had a higher amount set. But when I discovered that more than likely surgery isn’t an option, I decided to lower the amount just so maybe I can get a vets opinion and hopefully let the steroids be an option.
And then, lastly I just felt so hopeless because I just felt like I wouldn’t have enough raised in time so I lowered my goal even more just so I could have enough for a peaceful goodbye and a private cremation.

So like I said, I am at a crossroad… I don’t know how much time she has. She’s still eating a bit, but she’s resting a lot. I would absolutely love a second vets opinion; and maybe just maybe get the steroids that could shrink the tumor and give her more time.
But at the same time, if I can’t raise enough to even be able to go to a different vet, then I wouldn’t want my poor Baby to suffer.

I’m currently selling what I can and doing what I can to get enough money but it’s just not happening fast enough. And I know time is of the essence.

If anyone can help, no matter how small or simply sharing, it would mean so much to me.
In the end, if I do have to say goodbye to my baby girl, I would want her to go peacefully and to have cremation so she can come home with me.

Thank you. ❤️

Even if we sold everything we had it still wouldn't be $5000. So I'm asking for help to keep me, my wife, and my 5 children safe in a home that we have lived in for 6 years. Up until 3 months ago we have always been on time with our rent as it always came first.

I got a promotion at work with more pay, but the more pay part didn't come until 2 months later. That two months would have made a difference in our finances as we were always almost sunk on my previous pay.

My wife is also due for hysterectomy surgery at the end of November, and this company moves fast to evict people because right now we pay about $200 under market value for rent.

We were able to come up with a month of rent that was late before we went to court, but it still leaves us a month behind and rent for November is coming up in two weeks.

I know these are really rough right now, and I don't want to put pressure on anyone as I can see many people need help and you can't help everyone. Even a share to your feeds is welcome.

Thank you for providing a place to help people get more eyes on their GoFundMe.

Edit: I can't answer all the things in the comments, so I'll do the main ones here. If this is against the rules let me know.

1. Too many kids I thank the community for having me clarify how many kids live with us. We do have 7 kids (the 5 younger ones are biologically mine}, but the adult kiddos live with their father, not us. I've made the edit that clears that up.

As for too many kids, I have been able to afford them just fine as the youngest is 10 years old. This year has been the year of issues and it just hit us hard, and ate what savings we had to cover for rising gas and food prices. I also had health issues that I had to take unpaid time off for, which didn't help.

1. I am not jobless I do have a job, and I was recently promoted. The problem is that I got my raise two months too late. If I had gotten the raise at the same time I wouldn't be in this situation. I wasn't able to get things in order before I wasn't able to make rent because of that. Car issues didn't help either.

2. Wife's disability My wife was not always disabled. Her health has gotten worse because autoimmune diseases kept piling up over the years. We've been to several doctors and there hasn't been a treatment that has 100% worked or stayed effective. Also having PCOS (now PMOS) has it's own problems, like sudden weight gain that is hard to lose.

We have looked into SSDI. Everyone who's saying "just get SSDI" seem to not know that it's a years long process and you will be rejected several times. My stepdaughter has been trying to get SSDI for years, and she has literal brain damage that even the judge-appointed psychologist says she can't work, and the judge still denied her. So it's not as easy as turning in paperwork and you suddenly get checks.

1. How it won't happen again We got behind because prices went up but my paycheck didn't until June, and by then my pay rate at the time wasn't covering it. I have almost all my bills caught up, so the only thing now is getting rent caught up and we'll be out of this hole.

For those saying budget better, how about telling companies to pay better? Even with my previous pay rate we have been able to afford bills and rent for the last 6 years without being late. But raises are hard to get when you're contracting. Switching jobs wasn't and isn't an option because companies are paying crap rates and now trying to replace workers with AI. My job is currently AI safe and stable, so it would not be a good idea to leave my current job.

1. Past posts asking for money Yes there have been sometimes we ran short with my previous pay rate and I reached out. But I was never considered and we still survived. I don't like asking strangers for money but I will do anything for my family if it keeps us together.

ADDING: I look through my post history and saw 5 posts asking for help, and they're spread out over 11 years, and in the end I still figured out how to pay for them because I was never lent the money. So we're going to have to agree to disagree on my budgeting.

Besides, people come here asking for help. I realize a lot of you are basically saying you don't mind children being homeless. But being rude doesn't help anything. If you can't say or do anything that helps, move along. Thank you.

I think that's everything. As much as people like being rude and making assumptions, this has helped me with knowing where I fell short of explaining my situation and how to clarify some things, so thank you for that.

Hey, so 24M, dad died oct 1st and yeah.. found out going to go deal with where he lived that he had bedbugs, hoarder, and overall... sigh didn't take care of anything.

He had a highly infectious disease (flesh eating) in his legs and left his used bandages lying around everywhere, my cousin decided a GFM was the best way to handle the stuff he left on me such as loans he signed for using me as a cosigner, debts to the CRA (which I'm aware don't need to worry about the cra debts) and the biohazard cleanup I need done for his place ASAP, the celebration of life and all that stuff doesn't have a set date because I'm focused on dealing with his affairs, but with whatever is left after dealing with that stuff will be going towards A, getting him an urn so he isn't in a cardboard box, and making the required arrangements for a celebration of life.

So I'm making this post more for my friend/coworker. She doesn't have a reddit account so I offered to make a post for her to spread awareness for her situation. Her dog fell badly and tore up his mouth, and she needs some help in getting the money for his dental surgeries. She was able to afford one surgery but he needs two more procedures. We'll be grateful for any consideration and help! https://gofund.me/fcb909d94

Hello everyone,

I have an update on our cats condition. We had to take him to the emergency vet at VT yesterday because his swelling has noticeably increased from last week before his dental, and he had blood coming out of his nose yesterday morning.

The blood hasn't come back since it was wiped away, but the swelling was concerning enough the doctor at VT that she got oncology to get us in this morning at 10am.

We just got home after they did a CT scan, almost $2400 exactly, which is just a little bit less than how much we've spent on the visits and tests up until now. Accompanied with the diagnosis of Lymphoma.

We've run through our savings, and are scraping together some more money and got care credit to help defer some of the costs. They are doing one more check, an aspirate on one of his lymph nodes, before sending us an estimate on the cost and exact treatment plan by the end of the week, but they said the treatment would be radiation, for a total of 10-12 visits.

Every vet, including the ER vet, said he's otherwise perfectly healthy as well. 💔

Im sorry to ask again, but we really need some help. He's only 6, the softest and sweetest baby in the world, and doesn't deserve all of this. I'll post additional updates after getting the official treatment plan and estimate.

Update: 2 of our family members surprised us this evening and told us they were going to help us pay for Bear's surgery. I am removing the link from the post in case people don't see this update. We only received 2 donations totaling $60 which came from our close friends. We will talk to them about whether they'd like their money back or if they want it to go towards treats or toys for Bear. Thank you.

Writing this post is tough. My wife Melissa and I have had Bear since we first started dating. He was left to her by her childhood best friend who passed away. Bear has been with us through quite a lot of ups and downs. He was even our ring bearer at our wedding. Some people find that cringey but we loved it.

Recently Bear developed a tumor in his mouth that grew from the size of a small pea to almost the size of a quarter in less than 2 months. After a biopsy at the vet, it was confirmed to be a rare form of Mast Cell cancer. He is on a strict regimen of meds to try and shrink the tumor before it can be removed and he's doing well. Our issue now is getting the money to pay for the removal.

We have tried carecredit. Denied. scratch. Denied. Asking friends and family for help. Nothing. I am picking up shifts at my second job to try and save up enough money and we still haven't been able to put a dent win it. We unfortunately don't have pet insurance either and getting new coverage would not cover his cancer as it is a pre existing condition now. As a last ditch effort my wife made this gofundme to try and get enough money to get him this surgery. We are running out of time since his chances of survival are based on how soon the tumor can be removed before it spreads.

Since my wife and I are unable to have kids, Bear is the closest thing we have to a child and I know some people laugh at that but for us he is a huge part of our lives. And if not for this cancer diagnosis, he would have several more years of life to live.

My wife and I both would appreciate and give our eternal gratitude to Anyone that can help towards this goal. Thank you for your time.

Buffy is my 12 year old Boxer-mix rescue from Puerto Rico. I adopted her at 3 months old, and she just turned 12 in August.

Unfortunately a few weeks ago, Buffy was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer that has spread, which means surgery isn't an option. She is being seen by the Oncology Team at MSPCA Angell in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, and we have started weekly chemotherapy in hopes of giving her more good days. That always being the key - quality of life and good days.

Buffy actually had her second chemotherapy treatment today and thankfully, she's been handling things pretty well so far.

I'm hoping to raise $2,000 to help with her ongoing care. Each weekly chemotherapy treatment costs around $1,200–$1,700.

I do have pet insurance, which I'm incredibly grateful for. It reimburses 90% of covered expenses after a $1,000 deductible, but I'm still responsible for paying these bills upfront while waiting for reimbursement, along with anything insurance doesn't cover. It's been a lot to keep up with financially.

I know chemotherapy won't cure her cancer. I'm just trying to give her as much quality good time as possible.

If anyone is in a position to donate, any amount would be greatly appreciated. Even sharing her fundraiser would mean a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my girl.

As the title suggests, I recently had my leg amputated. It's below-knee and will hopefully be in working order soon with a prosthetic, but until then I can't work. I saved up money, but it just wasn't enough. Complications stretched the timeline and I wasn't prepared enough. My insurance ran out of my free transportation for the year as well, so I had to pay $45 to get to and from an appointment the other day (I was going to try to take the bus, but I am just not strong enough to use a walker the whole way to or from a bus stop) and I expect to have to do that once more this week and about once a week for the next month or two.

My local support network is just my roommate, who also has a full-time job, so she can't give me rides very often, but sometimes. She's also why rent is flexible, but not forever and I still have to pay whatever I can afford (and I'll owe her back rent).

It's been tough for me mentally, emotionally, physically, every kind of way. I thought I had it handled but all my preparation just wasn't enough, and I've exhausted all the resources my close friends and family can afford to give. I feel awful asking for money, but I don't see other available options.

My estimated expenses include;

A phone bill (100/month)

Rent (300/month)

Food (300/month)

Hygiene/misc. (100/month).

Rent is very flexible, however, and I don't have any medical bills to worry about. Food should be handled once I get my food stamp application straightened out, though, reducing my load by a lot.

A car accident a few years ago resulted in an ankle that was ultimately getting too little blood flow and was necrotizing over time. After a few years of worsening pain and utility they decided to just cut it off, so here I am.

I am not very good with this kind of stuff, but hopefully this was all coherent. I am free and open to questions, of course. Even if you're just curious I don't mind sharing. I'm happy to answer any and all questions any of you might have :3

I also want to thank everybody who's donated, even and especially the ones who only donated $5. It's hard for everyone, so I truly appreciate every bit of help I receive. <3

P.S. The child is playing with the hard cap they gave me at the hospital to wear around my stump. She's completely unaware of what it was or how much I needed it to be not broken lol.

P.S.S. The cat is named Sonny, and he apparently likes to sleep while smelling shoes.

Megan from GoFundMe back with some more tips on effectively sharing your fundraiser. 

Callout: This is general fundraising advice, and isn’t specific to sharing on this subreddit. For information about sharing in this subreddit, review the r/gofundme rules or reach out to the mods. 

Sharing everywhere, once, is often the least effective way to share. Sharing with the right people, in the right order, can be the most effective. Here's the order to try:

Day 1 — Five to ten personal asks

Text or call the people who would help you move. Message them directly, don’t start a group chat or share it in a post.

Ask for a donation, a comment, and a share. The comment and the share are important because that’s what reaches the next potential supporter.

Wait to share on socials until you have a few donations on the page. A page at $0 with no words of support is less likely to inspire new donations.

Day 3 — Your wider circle

Now the page shows proof: a few donations, a few kind words. This is when you go to group chats, your own social accounts, and people who'd come to your birthday.

Every share should have context, not just a bare link. Have at least two sentences–what the fundraiser is for and why it matters to you. Bonus: If you have images linked to your fundraiser, share those as well.

Day 7 — Community

Local groups, your kid's school, your faith community, the neighborhood bulletin board, local news if there's a story you can pitch. These audiences don't know you personally, so they need everything the first two circles built: donations, words of support, other people sharing about your fundraiser.

You’re building up proof and a network of support to help you reach even more people.

Additional momentum builders

• Re-share with an update–don’t post the same thing twice. Give supporters a new reason to donate, like “We’re at 40% of the goal, here’s what that can buy…”
• Every share is a note, not a link. Bare links don’t give supporters a reason to click.

Plan specific places to share for each day–5 personal outreaches, an Instagram post, a community forum, and try to complete those shares this week.

And as always, if you have specific questions about GoFundMe or fundraising, please drop them in the comments.

Hi everyone,

I'm just sharing this message here to raise awareness and hopefully get some help and support from the generous Reddit community.

My brother has setup a GoFundMe so his wife, Laura, can access some treatment that is not available on the NHS (in the UK), but it will really help with her fight against an incurable form of brain cancer 😢

If there's anything that you can do to help, whether that's a donation, a share or even just a message of support - it would be really appreciated.

Please follow the link for more details:

Thank you ❤️ 🙏

Hello! I am a 1st year student at the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN. I am a member of SVOSH, which stands for Student Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity. Last year, the SVOSH-SCO chapter helped 1,292 patients in Belize and Mexico. This upcoming May, I will be providing free eye exams and glasses to an underserved community in either Central or South America for my first trip with SVOSH.

The members of SVOSH have been working hard all year to prepare for our trips. We have been completing fundraising hours by providing airport rides, moving services, bake sales, etc. In addition, we have been sorting, cleaning, and measuring donated glasses. By April, each member must complete 25 fundraising hours, 35 lab hours, and raise $800-$1200 for the trip. If you are interested in supporting my trip, any donation is truly appreciated!

Hello, a few months back my wife purchased a used 7 seat vehicle for her daycare. We had the inspections done and were told it checked out. 2 months later we are having issues. The quote to fix is over 9k. The dealship and the shop that inspected aren't going to help.

My wife runs a daycare and offers school pickup so parents can work all day without having to leave. She is also the cheapest in our area. We had to deal with the outrageous cost of daycare so my wife decided to start her own so she can help out families that are having a hard time paying the high daycare bills. Without a car its the parents that have to suffer.

Can I start a fund me for this?

Meet my friend Chet - he's 86 yrs old, and his dog Trajan has cancer. Chet is also a veteran

Chet adopted Trajan earlier this year from North Central Shelter in Los Angeles, but in this short span of time the pup was found to have a tumor in his bladder. Chet called me asking for fundraising help. As he’s very elderly, that is the reason he is not on edit.

Chet and his son, Marion have spent all their savings on stent surgery for Trajan, but can't afford radiation, which he needs desperately. The new estimate is just over 16k - but does not include additional chemo which could be a possibility, as well as end of life care, or additional needs that may arise. I would also like to raise some money towards reimbursing some of Chet’s stent surgery bills.

The current goal is $30,000, with the first goalpost being $7500. Even though I helped them get to Vet Cancer Group, and the radiation quote was a little lower, they may require the $16k payment up front.

Trajan didn’t have pet insurance because it is so expensive for a senior dog like Trajan, but nobody adopts a dog either expecting cancer to happen 6 months later.

This is more than just fundraising for medical; this will probably be the last dog Chet ever has.

Please consider donating to their GoFundMe to give them a little more time together. Thank you.

IG video with Chet (little video I made of them)

(I have also applied for about 4 grants for Chet as well, that give $500-$1500 each, so no stone is being left unturned).

My name is Faith, and I am a quadriplegic from a Spinal Cord Injury. On September 26, my grandmother, who has been my sole caregiver for the last 25 years, passed away. I am now 100% reliant on my caregivers for support, and considering the lack of government assistance my state provides and the level of care I need, it is extremely expensive. 24/7 care would cost $2,800/week, and my meager income isn't enough. I would need to make about $200,000/year to cover caregiving, bills/utilities, and other expenses.

My state does not have assisted living facilities for people with physical disabilities, and my grandmother was my biggest support system. I currently live in the home we shared and have to pay bills/utilities out of pocket until we can sell the house and I can be reimbursed through the estate. This puts an even greater financial burden on me, and we cannot even begin to sell the house until we see the probate judge on December 2 and they give us the green light to move forward.

I know asking for ongoing help to pay for my caregivers is a lot, but it would help me out a lot until I can figure out what I'm going to do. If I can at least make it until we can sell the house and settle my grandmother's estate, I'd be eternally grateful. I've attached screenshots of my September statement just so you can see how much I have to spend. I've also provided a picture of my grandmother and me.

My GoFundMe

Edit: Thank you to everyone who has donated and offered solutions. I am part of SAIL, which only pays $320/week for caregiving, and that is not enough for 24/7 care. I asked the lady from SAIL who checks on me every 3 months if they could pay for 24/7 care, and she said no. She asked around and could not find anything like that in Alabama. I also spoke with a social worker at UAB. So either they are ill-informed, or the resources aren't there. I also do not qualify for Medicaid and receive SSI through my father's retirement, which has different earning requirements.

I am not trying to be a negative Nancy or swindle you out of your money.

So, I'm trying to get my fundraiser set up, and when reviewing the information, under "location" where it shows the zip code then town name as XXXXX - Town, the town it puts is not only over an hour away from me, but that towns zip code is nowhere near the one I entered. What do I need to do?
