Comments: Hello I am currently going through chemo therapy for breast cancer. I have lost all my hair and can not afford a decent wig or even head coverings, I need help. All I can do is cry every time I look at myself in the mirror. I don't see me anymore. I had long hair down to the middle of my back and feel embarrassed to go out with out any hair, so I have just locked myself away hiding from the world as I continue to fight this disease alone.
Comments: I'm 77 and lost my whole family in 2020 I'm struggling everyday i don't have enough to pay my rent or utilities I'm alone and scared but I've never lost my faith i just need little help God Bless
Comments: I, like almost everyone else here, googled help with financial problems and ended up here. I am a single mom and have been working my butt to the bone to make sure my kids are happy. 5 years ago we were homeless, 2 years ago we were in a roach ridden apartment but today we are in our in such a good place. I have been able to pay my rent and bills no problem. This is the first time in a long time I have needed help with money but I after Christmas and my car breaking down this month, I have fallen short. My full rent is $1295 and I am $300 short. If anyone could help me with anything, I would greatly appreciate it. ANYTHING helps.
Comments: Hi, I was on maternity leave until last week. I had fmla pay which it was about 60% of my pay and I had some saving to cover the rest. but I was asked by my landlord to move by the end of the month so I had to use all of my saving $4,500 to pay for my security, first, and last for the new apartment. Also my car broke (Which I need for work) which I need 600 more to fix. I am currently two month behind rent with my current landlord. He has been great at understanding, but he did expressed that I needed to pay him the rent that owe before I move or he will take me to court. I move January 1st. I don't know what to do at this point. So I ended my maternity leave early, but I am still 2,600 short to pay my current landlord and my car. Im spending money on taxi when I cant find a ride at work to go to clients house.

Comments: Seeing more of this website I think that this is real. I have come across many scam websites now I'm not sure how to find any real help anywhere. My name is Nici, I'm 23 and right now I am unemployed but I'm actively looking for work everyday. I haven't received any offer yet but I am hopeful! I am $800 behind on my gas bill and I'm not sure what to do because this debt is damaging my credit score which is making getting any kind of loan or help impossible. Jobs that have reached out to me are too far and I also cannot afford transportation. If you could help in any way at all I would be greatly appreciative but even if not I still appreciate that you have done things like this to help others. It's really amazing
Comments: Hello, my name is Lauryn. I found this website that helps people in need of financial help, so I decided to give it a try. First off, I am 21 and I am currently in nursing school. My financial aid has not given me enough to pay for rent that is $800 that I have for January, therefore any amount given would be appreciated. My mother passed away last year from cancer, and since then expenses have been really tight. The most important thing for me is that you guys could pray for a financial breakthrough. Thank you for listening!
Comments: Hy...i need a help to move out from toxic household. I am applying for Jobs but no lick yet. Its not abusive but its mentaly draining and I cant keep up with it anymore.I know a lot of People here have more serious problem and its uneasy for me to even ask for it.....Marry Christmas.💜
Comments: I came online tonight not really knowing how or where to reach out, and found this link when seeing the words Netwish Giving Hope. Two months ago our family's lives changed shockingly when my younger 39 yr old sister was diagnosed with stage IVB cervical cancer. When the oncologist told my sister the cancer spread to her liver, kidney, and spine and was not operable and said her prognosis was she may only have a year to live it was devastating. But then only one month ago the same doctors told her there was no hope for treatment, changed her prognosis to only 3 months to live, and discharged her to hospice in my home. Seeing my independent, stubborn, free-spirited sister cry like a hopeless child and talking about how this is her last Christmas with us crushed my soul. I am disabled myself with physical limitations and only receive $744 a month from SSDI... but how could I not let her come here for her last days with us? We have lost 12 family members who have died in the last 10 years, including my son in an accident right after his 18th birthday. Now all that is left of our loud, close-nit, and vibrant family is me and my two "kid" sisters, and their 3 girls. Our other sister is a single mother who lives about an hour from us and works long hours. We are all just scraping to get by, and between the grief and financial devastation of recent years it is hard to hold onto any hope and faith. Even if I don't know how we will all get through this, there is no one left to help. We have a roommate with health issues who is 65 and was recently terminated when Walmart made his job obsolete. My husband who is 51 and has a very demanding physical job at a warehouse is the only one of the 4 of us living in our home who is employed. I see him so tired each day, hiding his arthritis pain, and he never even hesitated when I asked if he could support not only me but my sister who has no savings or assets when we are already stretched too thin. Who do I wish for? My dying sister? My sister who does not have a tree for her girls this year? My niece who is having to now face the reality of losing her mother when she is already estranged from her father? The needs are too much, the weight of feeling inadequate and helpless in the face of their pain too much. $200 will not solve any of these unsolvable things. These things that I cannot change. But, if I were to receive a netwish grant, I would want to use it to give my husband a small bit of relief on the burden of being husband, brother, father, and provider to us all by putting it toward the lot rent for our mobile home. Without his sacrifices, we would all be homeless and the extra expenses have left us with bills we have to leave unpaid and a car we cannot repair. Even if we don't receive help, it gives me a spark of hope seeing that something like netwish exists, and reading through the stories posted here made me feel less alone on this sleepless night. Thank you for making this space to even just acknowledge these things "out loud." For those of you who took time to read this, thank you, and please don't ever let go of hope.
Comments: Me and my 3 children were blessed with finding a home for the holidays but we need help coming up with our security deposit to move in. I have $2000 but need $720 more. I need this pretty soon as the owner may not be willing to hold the place for me until my next pay date. Thank you to everyone in advance and blessings to you all❤️ Happy Holidays!

Comments: I separated from my husband last year due to domestic violence. I became extremely depressed and was diagnosed with depression, mood disorder, and anxiety, as well as an uncurable kidney disease. He took the house so I stay with friends right now and have ruined my credit having to use credit cards. I have a 3 kids, one which is special needs. It has been a rough year to say the least. Praying things start looking up soon. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Comments: Happy holidays everyone and sorry that anyone is experiencing hardship at this time. It can be very depressing and emotional with Christmas coming around. I lost my job in October 2021 and now working minimum wage which I just started in December. It has been hectic the past few months to try and cover all my bills. It gets harder when you are behind on bills or can’t simply afford a Christmas gift for your kids or family. I really wish everyone the best through this holiday season and Keep your heads up. Thank you Netwish even if I don’t recieve anything it’s worth a try.

Comments: i am on disability and draw ssi. i have 4 children and along with my bills and caring for them i can barely make it. i dont have enough to pay the bills and buy any clothes for any of us. i go to good will and i can't even afford the clothes in the bins. i can only afford to pay the past due amounts on our bills and stay in disconnect status every month with my utility bill. i literally am facing a disconnect today with piedmont electric in hillsborough nc. my account number is 1171319. its under my husbands name we are separated. my bank account is in overdraft every month. i was just trying to figure out how to make it again this month (its christmas and i refuse to spend every last dime i have on bills) and i found the information for this website and i was grateful. i don't know who you are but if you are willing to help my family i am forever thankful. God bless you!
Comments: I left a netwish for you guys and I just want to thank you for this. God put people like you on this earth for a reason. I am just so grateful for it even if I am not able to receive one I pray for the next individual who is in need so they can receive this blessing. God Bless this foundation
Comments: This is so difficult for me. For decades I have helped others find the organizations to help them Now I need help. I have read about Netwish and I will ask for any help. My need started with my giving me the initial papers for divorce. We knew each other for 23 years, married for 19 years. We decided to become treatment foster parents 15 years ago. During those years we made the commitment to our three sons. Our two oldest have special needs. Are youngest seems like a normal young boy. All the financial problems started like around January. She filed for divorce October 2020 and moved out 3 months later. Thanksgiving was hard and Christmas will be harder. I don't have anything to get anything for my sons. The real reason that I am writing is that I am 4 months behind in my mortgage, soon to be 5. I know, I know that the Organization may not be able to help with this. However perhaps you could send this to someplace that could. If you could help me with a little to get my sons something for Christmas I would be ever grateful. I get energy assistance and go to different food pantries every couple of weeks. It's just my mortgage. I have tried finding a State or County mortgage help program. I have yet to find one. There are many agencies that help renters. Well that is part of our story. I have my two wonderful sons to care for and teach and I am thankful to the Maker for this.
Comments: Hello,My name is Catherine Leake and me and my disabled husband is in desperate help with household items like Toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, bath soap, I'm the only one who is working full time and my husband can't work and unfortunately all my money goes to rent and I can't afford anything else I know this is such a small request but it's big to me which will be so much off my shoulders to get help with this. I appreciate what you do to help people in need I pray that you can help me and my husband with my need. Thank you
Comments: After reading some of these comments I wish I was able to help some people in a way that they deserve but sadly this year has been one of my hardest years to hit I am a single mother looking for work as my husband was who brought home the money as I stayed at home with our 3 daughters aging 9,8,6 but he had recently passed away on us an from that moment on I been struggling to keep a roof over my girls head let alone bills and food in their stomaches, it kills me that I won’t be able to have a Christmas for them due to not having luck for work let alone money for them, but after reading these comments once I do get on my feet I will be sure to do my best an help anyone in need as I use to prior to falling on hard times this year. God bless you all an may god gift u all with something u truly deserve.
Comments: As I'm sitting here thinking about my own situation I can't seem to hold back the tears that are running down my face, reading the request and everyone's stories I wish I myself was in a better place to help everyone in need like the amazing gentleman whom created this organization. I've never been one to speak up for myself and ask for help but I have to put my pride aside and learn that its okay to ask for help every now and then. In 2017 I was diagnosed with a rare brain disease called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension which causes me to have to much spinal fluid buildup that puts pressure on my brain and my optic nerve, my brain thinks that I have a tumor but I don't actually have one. It causes me to excruciating migraines and I've went through a numerous amount of spinal taps to monitor the pressure and remove some fluid so I don't end up blind,since the medication isn't working,nor is weight loss.It's gotten to the point of no relief that I can't enjoy the sun light or bright lights for that matter because of how sensitive I am to it. It's truly no way to live. After 4 years of treatment my Neurosurgeon has decided that it's time to have a shunt placed in my brain to help drain the fluid to my stomach,but good ole COVID postponed that for me. Little did I know that my life was about to be flipped upsidedown, on June 29th 2020 I lost my job and my life that I was just beginning to establish on my own as a single mother of 2 for the first time ever, at 28 yrs old. I thought I had Covid but turns out that all my breathing issues came from black mold, I begged my landlord to fix it and he refused, I didn't know what to do so I started asking anyone for guidance, I started studying the state statutes and laws regarding Landlord Tenant issues,but nothing I did helped, since I lost my job and I wasn't able to afford rent my landlord filed for an eviction, the only thing that helped me keep a roof over my families head was the moratorium as my apartment and my health crumbled before my eyes, my migraines got even worse I started having unexplained electrical shocks throughout my body. All these werid and random symptoms began to happen my speech started to dissiapte, I have decreased assimilation of new knowledge I have difficulty finding the proper words when I'm speaking and so much more, come to find out that I have a disease called Chronic inflammatory response syndrome caused by the mold toxins in my body, life is just not the same anymore. Code enforcement gave my landlord one month to fix my apartment after almost a year of me begging for assistance but that's when the moratorium was lifted and my landlord was able to kick me out, now we have nothing and I'm trying to get on Disability so I can continue to provide for my kids, we have been living in a tent for 3 months now and I'm trying to get back home so my sister can help me as I have no family here and no organization seems to actually want to help a family in need. Anything helps and I will pay it forward when I'm blessed with anything that could possibly help another invididual or family in anyway possible. I appreciate you taking the time to read my story and again I am so thankful for the man who created this organization, it people like him and those whom donate make the world a better place and gives me hope that theirs still some humanity left in this world.
Comments: I recently became unemployed last month and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to interview for two positions this past week. My cellphone service was interrupted about an hour ago due to overdue bill. The urgency of having phone service restored during a time such as this (interviewing for a new job) is one I am sure goes without saying. My phone bill is exactly $35 a month and I would love to have assistance in paying this bill for at least two months. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of my request.
Comments: Hello. My husband and I are both disabled. We both worked for many years but have become unable to work as we get older. We are having trouble paying our heating bill. Everything has gone up except our very small income. A little help would go a LONG way.
Comments: Hello, I was diagnosis in 6/2021 with Anal Cancer and currently receiving chemo and radiation treatment. I was working until I lost my job due to the pandemic and my unemployment ended in mid-October 2021. My only income now is my SSA retirement. I am seeking financial assistance to help with my transportation costs to and from my treatments. Thank you for your time and consideration in helping me.
Comments: Hello, I normally would not do this as I have tried all other resources. I am 28 years old and have two kids ages 5 and 7. Recently my long term boyfriend and father of my kids was given 1-2 years to live due to an autoimmune cause liver failure. He has been put on a list for a transplant. He has been very sick over the last few years leaving me to be the main source of income for our little family unit. I work 40 hours a week and have had to take lots of time off to take him to dr appointments and have had to spend money on prescriptions. Last month he was given the okay to get a job and the dr said he was good to work, which was a relief, when all seemed to get better my grandfather passed away on October 5th in hospice care. With what little I have had I have helped my grandma with groceries and adjusting to life without my grandpa. While going back and forth my boyfriend lost his wallet. Which had $400 that we desperately were going to need for rent for 12/01 part of his symptoms of liver disease is often forgetting things. Because I had taken time off I am going to be short for my rent. I’m asking for help for my rent for the month of December. I don’t need much. I do have half of it and have no one else to ask for help as many people are in similar boats in my family. If you have any questions please reach out to me. I have proof of all that I said above.
Comments: I a senior citizen on SSI, on a very low income. I have many expenses like rent, car insurance, car repairs and medical expenses not covered by medicare (drug co pays, medical premiums for insurance) which are very difficult to cover on a low fixed income.The last months of 2021 have been a nightmare financially. I had my car towed out of my parking lot by a towing parking lot security company for being a few inches over a parking spot line, I had a major car repair the next month, then I lost the programmed car key and it was very expensive to replace,and then I had my license suspended in Late Nov.for non payment of a traffic ticket and now I have a $400 electric bill that I cant afford to pay due to being on a low fixed income. I have a shut off notice for the first few days of Dec. 2021. I cant have my electric shut off because I am a diabetic and insulin needs to be refrigetated. I need immediate help with this ekectric bill so it won't be shut off. Can you help please?
Comments: Hello. Thank you for doing all you do to help others. Where should I begin. I have been in and out of the hospital since 2011 and have just had another surgery on my stomach making this my 16th surgery on my stomach in the past 10 years. Due to all these surgeries I ended up losing my job back in 2016. I have 2 boys and we were already struggling.. but then my husband just recently lost his job of 30 years due to cutbacks. I am on disability and we are struggling harder now then we have ever.. We are in desperate need of help. We tried applying for food stamps but we were denied for making $3.00 to much. We would be so appreciative for any help even if it is gift card at a store to buy food. We have a Walmart and an Aldis. We also have a couple other stores such as price chopper and tops but they are more expensive. I know that there are many others in need of help and I pray that you are able to reach out to many of them with help. I am also praying that we might be able to get some help as well with groceries or other . Thank you again for considering me and my family. If you need further information please reach out to me and I will provide anything that you need in order to be considered for help. God Bless and thank you again..

Comments: I am a single mother of 5, I recently lost my only source of income putting me behind on all of my bills. I am looking at my only means of transportation being repossessed as well. My oldest child attends school and without transportation I am unable to get him to and from school as I live outside the school district. I have many appointments for my children as well that I’m not sure how I’ll be able to get to, I have rent due and can not pay that
Comments: thank goodness for the existence of people that aim to not only help less fortunates but inspire us all to help ourselves - nobody deserves a hand out but everybody needs a hand up sometime.... thanks netwish!!! happy holidays to all
Comments: I am a single mother of 3, I recently left a domestic violence situation and have returned to my hometown, since being here I have not been able to receive my unemployment benefits because my pin number was sent to my previous address and have fallen behind on my light bill. My lights and water were disconnected over a week ago, and need 250 dollars to get it reconnected. Please help it is cold.
Comments: My car is bout to be repossessed next Monday if I don't pay $600 I'm a single mom just got out of jail and am looking for work. I have a job interview Friday but I'm needing them to not take my car.
Comments: I am Disabled and my monthly payments barely allow me to pay my bills. If repairs are needed in or on the house I cannot pay for them. My front porch is water damaged due to no gutters on the eaves of the house. There are rotten areas where I have to step to get on or off the porch and get in or out my front door. My fear is of falling through these rotten areas and with my health issues including a numb right leg due to a "botched" back surgery that I will not survive the fall. I cannot afford any type of repairs and definitely cannot afford to buy any lumber to place over the rotten areas. Also, my front door is broken and cannot be locked upon leaving the house. I need a new door and lock but the cost of a new door and then someone to install it is beyond my means. I thank you very much for your consideration! I try my best but it seems my best isnt good enough. Karen Medlock-Mitchell

Comments: Where to begin... I guess it begins back in August 2019, I won't get into deep detail because it's far too painful to speak of but, everything started when my daughter who was 5 at the time, informed her father and I that while she had been staying over at my mother in laws house (My husband and I were homeless and it was best for her to live with grandma) my mother in laws now ex boyfriend... Sexually assulted her.. We honestly don't know how long this had been going on, my mother in law, who was mostly blind (Macular Degeneration) and mostly def had no knowledge of this as well. Long story short, he went to jail, my daughter is still mentally recovering, blah blah blah... Eventually things were getting better until The pedophile was released only serving 22 months in jail. When he was released, my daughter went over to my husband's sister's house, but since she has 5 children of her own and the ex had to return to my mother-in-laws house to retrieve his belongings, My husband and I started staying in our car. One week went by, he wouldn't leave the house, two weeks went by, I while living in the car had been looking for a job. September 6th I was hired on at Taco Bell, while we were living in our car. Unfortunately, that same day my husband's mother passed away... We didn't even know for two days... After blowing up her phone, her ex finally texted me back telling me that she had passed away... We lost everything... Her ex since they both were on the deed to the house would not let us return for ours and my husbands mother's belongings... There's more depth to it but I digress. Our daughter is safe and thriving at my husband's sister's, and I've continued working, but we're still in our car, winter is coming... Thanksgiving and Christmas is coming and now a court case against my husband's mother's ex is approaching... And we are at a loss of what to do. Within the last month I haven't been able to even set aside $5 for a Christmas gift for my daughter, my husband who was almost joint to the hip to his mother is suffering from severe depression as well as I am. And I have a hard time asking for help because I work my butt off to earn my way, but at this point, I'm at a loss. Thank you for hearing me out.
Comments: Thank you for all that you do.
Comments: Hello, my daughter and I have been living in a hotel for most of her life. She is a year old. I recently started a new job and can not afford to pay for the hotel this week. Its 300 per week however my first check will not come before our check out date. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Comments: Hello every one i am seeking help to raise $400 im in a bad debt and financial crisis that had lead to High blood pressure, low self esteem and almost leading to shame and disgrace..Is there anyone benevolent to help? I will be grateful and thankful.
Comments: Good Afternoon, After many trials and tribulations that we have all suffered in 2020 and 2021, I was fortunate to be employed despite the pandemic. That was up until earlier this year when my Father and his health took a turn for the worst, as he was diagnosed with 2 terminal illnesses and in result of the devastation, is now on 26 medications to include help with depression in receiving this news. His quality of life went from serving others and working 70 hours a week, to walking with a cane and primarily home bound since his immune system is now compromised. I had to make the decision to postpone my engagement, quit my job and receive state medical insurance, all to take care of my Father full time. My daughter is 11 and has been the most helpful she possibly can be, but it is very hard to let her help as I am watching her grow up very quickly and sacrifice her childhood. I have zero income and have sold everything that I possibly can. Unfortunately, we still have bills coming in faster than I can turn around and trying to keep afloat is becoming non-realistic. Rent and baseboard heat and utilities are piling. I drive 2 hours one way to his doctors appointments almost weekly. I never thought I would see myself and my family in this position, but I am hopeful that in my time of need, that I overcome this hardship and become in a position to help others as they have helped me. |
