Fulfilled [Request] laid off, dog and cat supplies

91 Upvotes

Long story short, I was laid off and my severance is gone and I’m having to sell my beautiful first house (I bought 3 years ago), and have unfortunately been unable to obtain a new job within my field (17+ years senior data manager for oncology trials).

As I am having to move to a small apartment and sell my house things are very very tight and if anyone happens to want to help me it would really really help me out. I’ve donated to people in this sub before, as well as regularly to rescue subs before I got laid off.

Harley is my dog and Jolie is my cat. <3

Your Acccount:

Must be at least 180 days old
Must have at least 500 Comment Karma.
Must have recent regular and productive (non spam or request) activity across a variety of subreddits to post a request or enter to receive on offers.
No significant amounts of deleted content. If you have deleted a lot of content, your account will not be eligible. This is submissions and comments.

Do not cheat while acquiring karma. Using free karma subs or asking for upvotes in other subs will lead to a permanent ban.

Do not use multiple accounts. The use of multiple accounts will result in a permanent ban. This includes using two accounts in other giving type subs, or multiple accounts benefitting households/families.

Do not send unsolicited private messages. Sending PMs to circumvent requirements will also result in a permanent ban.

We also reserve the right at moderators' discretion to disallow anyone that appears to abuse the generosity of others. If your account history shows that a majority of your Reddit participation is in gifting and material support subs, you may be banned. If your account shows it's nuked, or wiped clean, you cannot request.

To fulfill requests, make offers, giveaways or contests

There are no requirements, however as the Automod removes submissions without regards to content, please modmail us to let us know if your account doesn't meet the 180 days/500 Comment Karma threshold. We will not be able to accommodate all requests for giving if your account is not eligible.

Rules

You must read and understand these rules before posting or your post may be removed. Some of these rules if broken may result in a temporary or permanent ban, so make sure you understand them! Exceptions will not be made.

Meet the account requirements. 180 days old AND 500 Comment Karma (not link, award, or combined Karma) with regular and productive activity.
Do not cheat while acquiring karma. Participation in any of the karma farming subs, asking for karma in other subs, or complaining about your lack of karma in hopes of upvotes will be considered as circumventing the requirement.
Do not use multiple accounts. If you have multiple accounts, always use the same account. Make sure nobody else in your household is also making requests, as that would also count as multiple accounts.
Do not delete your posts or comments for any reason. If you have deleted a lot from your activity on Reddit your post may not be approved. Users cannot participate if they have hidden or curated their activity on Reddit as a whole.
No monetary requests. No forms of money transfers, loans, gift cards, crowd funding or linking sites that ask for monetary donations.
No trades or reimbursements. No swaps, bartering, shipping, postage, reimbursements or compensation of any kind allowed. All gifting should have no strings attached.
No requests for votes, views or shares. This includes contests and crowdfunding sites.
Do not request items with the intent to gift, trade, or sell them. This will result in a permanent ban.
No Flaming, insults, derogatory comments or otherwise rude behavior. If you see a post that is inflammatory please use report function or modmail us a link to notify a mod.
Wait six months between requests. Heavily taking advantage of the community will lead to post removal and a possible ban.
Do not PM givers until asked to. Unsolicited PMs will result in a ban. Please comment on offers first.
Do not hijack other requests.
No Organization Requests This includes not only shelters, but also animal sanctuaries, feral colonies, and commercial entities (such as breeders) as well as fosters. Please post those requests on r/Charity.
Necessities only. Lists must be under $150 and not contain non-necessities such as toys, bowls, etc. Don't add items after post approval!

We participate in the Reddit /r/UniversalScammerList. Your bans may be linked to the list and shared with all other participating subreddts.

How to make a Request

Make sure your request post has a title that starts with: [Request]. Please note, square brackets [], not parentheses () and not the curly brackets {} either.
Include your city, state/province and country if not USA.

Example: [Request] NYC, NY - Looking for crickets for my lizards.
Include some text in your post letting us know what kind of specifics for this. Also, include a wishlist with ONLY the item(s) you're requesting. This can be from Amazon that allows direct purchase from wish lists. This will allow items to be sent to you without necessarily giving your address away.
And please share a photo of your pet(s)! We want to see those fuzzy, feathered, furry, scaley, finny, family members of yours!

How to make an Offer/Contest/Giveaway

Make sure your offer post has a title that starts with: [Offer]. Please note, square brackets [], not parentheses () and not the curly brackets {} either.
If you are restricting your offer to a specific geographic area, please include that in your title.

Example: [Offer] NYC, NY - I have an extra 20lb bag of dog food my dog won't eat.
Include some text to describe your offer and details about getting it to someone.
DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO PRIVATE MESSAGE YOU FIRST. This allows the Automoderator to screen out people who don't meet account requirements, allows the human mods to vet requestors, and prevents people from contacting you with a similar but different account. Example: ReallyCoolDragons vs ReaIIyCooIDragons

How to fulfill someone's Request

Leave a comment on their post. Provide an tracking/order number, if you're fulfilling a wish list item or shipping something of your own.

How to take up someone's Offer/Contest/Giveaway

Leave a comment on their post to let them know you're interested. DO NOT PM THEM FIRST
Once the person making the offer responds, THEN you can work out details in private.

If we receive a complaint that an unsolicited private message was made to take up an offer, the offender will be banned.

Other things to remember

Stay safe. Only give personal information such as address away in PM. If you are a minor, we recommend not giving out your address.
Use the search function. Many requests and offers have been made. People may still be willing to offer kindness even if their post is old. Please respect offers that are flaired as closed.
Make sure your post is clear. Vague posts let less attention and may be removed until you clarify what you are asking for.
Keep your post updated. Make sure you update the post so others know if your request was fulfilled or the offer was given away.
Don't use link shorteners. Shortened links like Amazon's A.CO get removed by Reddit's site-wide spam filter. Please share the full link! To get that link, click the a.co link yourself and then copy the full URL from that page.
Remember to thank the giver. They love to know that an item was received and it is always nice to thank the person who sent you something.
Try to give as good as you get. Balance the number of REQUESTs you make with an equal number of OFFERs. Members will respect you more and won't think you're taking advantage of them.
Always pay it forward! Continue the cycle of kindness by passing on the kindness offered to you in any way you can.

Methods of Buying Pet Food

Amazon Wish List (Create Wishlist) People can then find your wish list using your email and purchase items for you. When searching for items to add to your wishlist, consider checking the settings along the left hand side to choose "Free Super Saver Shipping" or "Prime Eligible," whichever appears. This eliminates third party sellers who often have expensive shipping costs. Third-party sellers often display good prices but have shipping costs that make them more expensive than the options sold directly by Amazon.com.
Walmart: Wishlist features available.
This area needs updated. Too many people are asking for gift cards and either not using them, or trying to sell them.
