What have you learned about yourself after facing hard times?

Going through something difficult and making it out the other side is not something to downplay. With every experience, you have an opportunity to build character, learn more about the world, and potentially teach others through the wisdom of your experience. When was the last time you went through something hard? What did you learn about yourself during the experience?

How to put my fundraiser out there without looking desperate

My mother just had emergency heart surgery this came out of nowhere she went in because she was at the gym and felt some pain shoot across her chest and they told her she tore a muscle the next day she was in such pain they brought her into emergency and did a routine CAT scan when they noticed aortic Dissection They immediately prepped her for heart surgery and airlifted her six hours away to Stanford our family was not prepared for this in any way shape or form and I’m not used to putting my business out there but unfortunately I do not have the financials to be able to take care of her the way she needs to be taken care of after a huge surgery like this and I’m going to be needing to takeoff time from work to go and help her I figure it can’t hurt to let people help if they want to buy the same time I do feel like I’m begging it bothers me but I’m trying to make this whole situation easier on my mom she has taken care of us her whole life and now that it’s time for us to take care o

Just a little....

Hey everyone, I have been trying to share my GoFundMe page to get donations, but I have only gotten just a little bit of money out of the amount I need. I am trying to fundraise for a school that will train me and send me to another country to help others in need. I have been on here for a little less than a month. Does anyone have any suggestions to get more a little bit faster? To all of you who need donations, I support you all. Wish you best of luck with your fundraising, you can do it! https://gofund.me/62351c2d

Feeling embarrassed to ask for help? You’re not alone.

Let’s get honest - asking for help can be really hard. We’re embarrassed and sometimes afraid of feeling rejected if we don’t get the help we need. But the truth is, eventually, everyone needs help.  So, why should I bother asking for help?Believe it or not, most people want to help. Humans find satisfaction in helping others and actually enjoy doing so– there’s lots of science behind this! Getting over that initial fear of asking is the hardest part. We’ve found that once people take that leap, others aren’t actually judging them nearly as much as they feared. After all, asking for help is an act of strength. Some ideas on how to ask for help:  – Be sincere. The more heartfelt your ask is, the more others will relate and want to help. Make it a conversation, not a transaction. Share your story and the details that express why you’re asking for help.– Find your support team. Is your best friend your biggest cheerleader? Do you have certain family members you rely on? Create a team that

thinking of elderly

Think about taking your old clothes to a local nursing home to see if anyone could use them . These residents deserve so much more, I wish I could just help them all. It breaks my heart.

A good, light-hearted pick me up would be nice.

Hi all! I'm sure we might all be in the same boat, but may be in the same ocean of our tears. Im so new to this but desperate times call for desperate measures. Covid might be a big part of our problems, but we can't give up yet! I was very close to giving up last month when I didn't have enough for my insulin (I am diabetic with type1) and seems this problem is coming up again! I work in retail, and we only have 8 workers left for a 24 hour store (others have quit or left to go elsewhere). I cannot stress the holidays enough and feel myself run ragged. I am looking for ways to help get my gofundme into social media, also just to vent a bit, and hopefully connect to an audience that may be in the same river as I am. Since most I hear everyday are angry customers, frustrated patients, and irritated/exhausted staff. A good, light-hearted pick me up would be nice.

Over looked.

I don’t know just how this works but I do feel like that a lot of people get over looked on here, including me. You try to get help but if you don’t know the right people, you’re not going to get anything. I know that might sound harsh but that’s how a lot of us feel.  I’ve seen people get money just because they want a new camera and I’m fixing to loose my home and I can’t get not one Dallor. I just don’t understand this. I guess it’s just me. Sorry for the venting guys. I’ll stop now.

i never thought i would ask for help …

I’m embarrassed, I feel like a pan handler asking for help …. I can only imagine how it felt for another their first time … did they compare like I just did? Did they cry as they wrote their testimony of need ?! I know I did …

Has anyone else every sorely underestimated their fundraising goal & if so did you ask for more help; and how?

Hi everyone!So I rescued a puppy from the side of the road  after I saw him hit by an amish buggy almost a month ago. I took him to our local pet emergency, he had no collar, no tags & turns out no chip. I'd left my name & # with them telling them if I cld help out in anyway pls call me. A few days later they called me asking if I wld want to adopt the puppy bc where I lived there was no place to go with a stray injured dog. They went on to say in not so many words, if I didn't take him there was a good chance hed be put down. My heart broke for this poor sweet creature, he has the nicest disposition of any dog I've ever encountered. He's not 7 mons old & just as sweet as ever. He is American bulldog/ pitbull mix & we (my 6yo son & I) have fallen in love with him dearly.Unexpectedly coming in to dog ownership esp one with medical problems & the bills that come along with that are not cheap. I had estimated I would need about a $1000 to care for his broken leg- w
