Delivery driver has broken car 4 b-days Christmas Rent HELP |

I am a 47 year old mother and grandmother with relapsing-remmitting multiple sclerosis(RRMS). I've been unable to work since September 2021 when I had an RRMS flare-up that ultimately led to me losing my full-time job at the end of January 2022. I am in the process of trying to get approved for Social Security Disability, but the lawyers say it is likely to be at least another year before (if) it's approved. I don't qualify for unemployment because of the RRMS.
I am in university (finally) finishing my degree so that I may be able to work in a field that will allow me to make enough money to get by regardless of my declining health. I'm only able to take one class at a time because it is all I can cognitively handle, so I'm not set to graduate until 2026.
I work as a delivery driver when I'm well enough, even so I'm facing the inability to pay rent (I already owe over $6000), or pay for proper upkeep of my car. I have managed to raise enough money to replace the starter, but still need tires, calipers, and brakes. Until then I can't work with any kind of assurance that the car will continue to function.
Additionally, I haven't seen my youngest son in a month. Because he lives an hour and a half away from me, and his father refuses to meet me closer to MY home, I have to drive the 3 hours two to three times a month if I want to see my son. Which I do. But it has been death to my 10 year old car and my budget (especially considering gas costs).
That brings us to the holiday season. One grandbaby had a birthday in October, the second half his birthday in November, my eldest son had his birthday this past weekend, my youngest has his birthday on Christmas Eve, and then there is Christmas.
I need money to fix my car, pay the rent, put food on the table, get a Christmas tree decorations, birthday presents, Christmas presents, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Please help if you can.
Thank you for reading and considering.

Hello there! My name is Katrina. I am here because I really want to give my daughter the Christmas she not only deserves but so desperately needs. And to be able to get cameras for around the outside of my house.
We have been through a lot this last year, her so more than I. She is 5. Her father sexually abused her and then started stalking us as a result of me immediately filing and getting full custody and getting a PFA. He was told to have no contact what so ever upon the pending investigation that has been ongoing for the last year. It has not only affected her but also myself. I found myself not being able to leave my child with anyone without having crippling anxiety that someone may do something to harm her. I mean her own father would do something like this so who can I trust? I haven't been able to find work because of this. He lurks around all hours of the day and night and would whistle when we would be outside and would ride past my house multiple times a day on a bike resulting in me even being afraid to go outside at night because I wasn't sure if he would try and do something to harm me or my daughter. He has put dead birds in my mailbox. He did something to my car and I haven't been able to fix it because of all of this. Where I live there is basically no way to get a job unless you have a vehicle to get to or from work. I've tried many remote jobs but they pay very little and I have barley been able to make it by. All of my bills are behind and thus alas I still am hopeful.
My daugther has been through a lot and I haven't been able to do much for her. I want to be able to give her the Christmas she deserves and put some happiness back in her life. She wants the gabby dollhouse and she wants monster high dolls and she wants these things that I simply cannot afford that she believes that Santa can bring her. I don't know what I am going to do on Christmas morning when Santa couldn't bring her some of the things she wanted. How do you break a 5 year old's spirit. Then she is left wondering why did Santa bring all the other kids stuff they wanted but not her ? I would need about $1,200.00 to give her the Christmas I want to be able to give her and to afford to get cameras so I can make sure he stays away from us and our home. I'm asking for someone like you to help. You have a chance to help a single mother protect and also give her child a Christmas she will remember to bring some joy back into our life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. I usually am not one to ask for help with anything but I am now in a spot where I don't have any other options. I am truly grateful for the help you can give as it will be VERY much appreciated. I hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year just as you'll be able to bring us. Even the littlest amount helps!

single mom who's desperate for help |

I know this doesn't seem as urgent as some other posts on here but I'm desperate. I was dropped from my homeowners insurance because my roof is too old. I was approached by a roofer that said they could help. They assisted me in filing a claim before I was actually dropped, but I still have to pay my deductible. I'm a single mother of an autistic son and it takes all money to pay for the services his insurance doesn't cover and I can't come up with $2,500 by the end of the week. If anyone could help me out at all I would be grateful beyond words. I'm already crushed that my son will basically not have a Christmas this year, and I'm afraid of what will happen to us financially if I can't get the roof fixed and avoid force-placed insurance by my mortgage company.

Please help-drowning in debt |

First, I'd like to say thank you in advance for even taking the time to read my plea. I know that there are so many people that need help right now.
What can I say? No one ever gets married thinking that after 20 years, your husband would want to start a new life without you. But, that's the beginning of this nightmare.
After leaving my home, I found a place that quite possibly should have been condemned. I lived at times with no heat, no running water, frozen/burst pipes. My toileting/shower schedule was based on when friends could let me use theirs or when the nearest gas station was open. Living paycheck to paycheck, I at times had to rely on credit and have found myself drowning in debt and collections.
Fast forward a few years, I found a new place with high hopes. But within the first year, my gas boiler died. This was my only source of heating at the time. No one would finance me due to my horrible credit. With every penny I had left, I bought a used pellet stove which I installed myself because I couldn't afford to pay someone to do it.
Falling deeper and deeper into debt, my health took a turn for the worse. The stress has been taking a toll on me physically and mentally. I'm doing everything I can to stay afloat but at times I feel like just giving up.
I pride myself on being a hard worker and try to do the right things for all those around me. I'm just looking for a little help to get me back on my feet. To the point where I can say that I'm actually living and not just surviving.
To be almost 50 and feel like you're drowning is a horrible way to "live".
If you've made it this far, I thank you for hearing me out. And if you have it in your heart to help, my pay pal is
