Never imagined begging strangers, but I need ₹20,000 ($250) to survive this month

r/

Hi everyone,

I feel broken while writing this. I never imagined asking strangers for money, but today I don’t have a choice.

My name is Suraj. I’m 19, a student from India. My family is struggling to meet even basic needs. I tried everything — freelancing, part-time jobs, making online content — but nothing has worked.

Right now, I urgently need ₹20,000 ($250) to manage food, travel for studies, and to pay for some critical needs at home. I’m not lazy. I’m not sitting idle. I’m just overwhelmed and running out of options.

Even if you can help me with $5, $10, or any small amount, it would make a real difference in my life right now.

I’m not just asking for money. I’m asking for hope.

If you’ve ever hit rock bottom and wished someone would extend a hand — that’s where I am right now. I’m not expecting miracles. Just a little kindness.

Please DM me if you’re willing to help. I will never forget this.

    No. This isn’t a begging sub so please leave.

    If some strangers do decide to send money to you based on your Reddit post, do you think you could send some of it to me? I have cancer and I’m an orphan and I need money to pay vet bills for my sick puppy. I’m overwhelmed. Please don’t let my puppy die.

    Pump the brakes on freelancing and online content and really dial in on the “job” part. You’ll be alright

    Don’t even have the humility to use your actual account.
