Quizá puedas pedir tus padres para ayudar con comprando muebles. Perhaps you can ask your parents for help with buying furniture. I'm not sure if I need the infinitive of ayudar or if I should use ayuda. Actually I am not positive the entire sentence is correct! Thanks in advance!

Eddy's on the right track:
Quizá puedas pedirle ayuda a tus padres para comprar los muebles.
or
Quizá puedas pedirle ayuda a tus padres con la compra de los muebles.

"...to ask your parents for help...", rather than "...to ask your parents to help..." - KevinB, JUL 17, 2010
I agree...for help is more what I had in mind. Thanks to all! - chica_rica, JUL 17, 2010

After para you would use the infinitive "ayudar". I think, however, it should be ayudarte and "a tus padres".

Another option: Quizás puedas pedirles a tus padres que te ayuden a comprar los muebles. Although it's a little different from your sentence in English.
