Asking for help

Asking for help can feel uncomfortable. Many people hesitate to start an online fundraiser because they worry about being judged or seen as weak.

The truth is that life comes with unexpected challenges. Emergencies, medical bills, funeral expenses and other forms of financial hardship are not personal failures.

Asking others for financial help can feel difficult because we often try to handle everything on our own. But no one is meant to face hardship alone. At some point, everyone needs support.

Crowdfunding can open the door to unexpected support that helps you regain stability. Accepting help from others should be seen as a sign of strength and trust, not as a sign of failure and weakness.
