I am currently battling cancer, and the journey has been very difficult both physically and emotionally. During treatment, there are many long days where I struggle to stay positive, and I’ve been looking for something that can bring me comfort and happiness. One of my biggest wishes is to be able to play Minecraft. It may sound simple, but being able to escape into that world and build, explore, and create would mean so much to me during this challenging time.

Hi all, my name is Barbara Cugini, and I’m requesting donations for my sister, Elizabeth (Libby) Cugini. My sister has been hospitalized since July 2, 2025, and is currently in Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City awaiting a heart and kidney transplant. As of now, Libby is in intensive care, being kept alive with an internal heart pump, while she waits for a compatible donor. Libby has 2 children, Victoria and Gregorio, who graduated from high school a week before this nightmare began, and their mom was expecting to help them enroll in the local community college. The picture I posted was taken a few weeks ago, and Libby has since had 2 more cardiac catheterizations, had a stroke, coded 4 times, had the pump put in, yet still manages to stay positive and fight for her life. It’s not easy to ask for help, but this is extremely overwhelming for her and her children, and any support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My family and I got displaced from our home. It’s been hard finding a job and taking out a loan to get back on our feet. I have a two-year-old and I have not been able to work due to a knee injury I got after giving birth. I would love nothing more than to work, but I cannot at the moment.

Hi everyone, my name is Meghan.

Hi today. My name is Ms. Kelly. I don’t have much as a person staying at a nyc dhs women shelter. I became evicted from where I lived at over 25 years since 2024. My relatives aren’t around but my neighborhood can remember me before to after. I’m being denied for.SSD.claims is too much disagreement and unfair of the US government SSD services to Immigration in NewYork City. Only need help from or known as Temporary Public Assistance NYC and can receive some SNAP and petty sum that’s not enough as it seems lower for low income services. I need help now or soon as I’m temporarily disabled Walker crutch to get around. I also need some pharmacy products to alleviate myself conditions. My Doctor believes I can be in recovery and to continue to job searching. When I feel healthy now unhealthy. Thanks for your help and maybe I can return a favor either way. I don’t have any pets thank God.

Hi everyone, my name is Jadon Hastings .

This is a difficult message to write, but I’m reaching out because I’m facing a temporary financial hardship and struggling to pay rent this month. I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat I am a single mother , but I’ve fallen short and need about $2500 to avoid eviction.

Hey, so anyone who knows me, JoJo, or my father, Big Vin, knows how generous and how big our hearts are. If you haven’t heard, it has been the worst 3 months of our lives. First, my husband, Nicholas Manzo, died next to me in bed from a brain aneurysm. If that isn’t bad enough, guess what? It did get worse… We didn’t have the $20,000 to bury him, so he was being held in the morgue for a whole month until we were able to get it together. Thanks to my dad, he emptied his annuity to pay for it. God, that man is the best.

My name is Michael Maurino, and I’m a survivor of long-term emotional and financial abuse. Over the last year, I was manipulated by someone who I believed was severely ill. She told me she had cancer, made repeated threats of self-harm, and made me feel like her survival depended on me. I sent money—over $30,000—to help, believing I was saving someone in need. She threatened to hurt me as well multiple times.

Hi, my name is Shariar Emon, and I never thought I would be in a situation where I’d need to ask for help like this—but right now, I genuinely have no other option.
