Needed $50 for a textbook before my semester started. Put it in Scratch and my friends had covered it within 3 days.

My brakes were grinding. I had $100 but needed $90 more. My circle came through — couldn't afford to miss work.

I'd been donating small amounts to people in my circle. First time I asked for help, they showed up right away.
