Approach Tags

I have tried in many ways asking for help to keep my utilities on . I really am disabled and only have a very small income at this time . I am waiting on Social Security disability but that can take 8 more months so I am going to try a different approach to asking for help, instead of asking for one person to donate all I need I am asking each person who comes across this ad and reads it to send me one US nickle, heck even a US penny will do, it all adds up and if enough people send me a penny or a nickle I will be able to catch up my utilities so I do not loose my rent assistance and end up homeless. Yes this is for real, times are tough and I understand people just don,t have money to give right now, but anyone can afford a penny, a stamp, and an envelope. I give my word it will be put on utility bills and real needs such as glasses to see. Thanks and God Bless. Please No scammers, I am tired of scammers answering my ads. I have no money, can not work and no bank account, I have nothing for you to take, I will not cash checks and forward part of the money to some other person. I will not send you money to wire me money,I do not have money to do that if I did I would pay it on my bills. For those of you who will send me your spare nickels or pennies thank you so much. Have a great summer.

This is for those out there who still haven't gotten any help despite you have been begging for help from the rich individuals.Well,I am a single mom just like you and i know how tough it is to go through any form of discomfort just to make sure there is life in you.

Here,I actually have a job but was in debt and reached out for help but no one did help.I met this man,he is actually a private lender not a loan shark.He was able to lend me $12k i needed so badly to clear off my debts.His interest rate were so low and the loan payback period was okay.I just concluded paying off the loan.

I know some of us here still haven't gotten any help from anyone,but you don't have to keep on sitting down waiting for help to come meet you.You have to approach help yourself and beg for it.He might be of help to anyone seeking for some sort of financial assistance with low interest rates that could be paid off in no time.

That was the reason why i shared my story,just in case someone out there might need his services/help.Even if you don't need it now,someone elsewhere where needs it so bad.

Here you can reach him on;

Let him know,i referred you down.

Thanks and Goodluck.

Since my previous posts have yielded only four donations over the last five months I thought I would try this approach. My financial problems are quite real. If you find my fable entertaining please send a small donation.

The Grasshopper and the Ant
A Classic retold by Joseph the Beggar King
Part One

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there were two friends, the Grasshopper and the Ant. Why these two became friends is a bit of a mystery. The Grasshopper was a dreamer and a drifter. The Ant was a believer and an achiever.

In school the Grasshopper would look out the window without thought and only learned the subjects he found interesting. Sometimes he would fall asleep in Math class, other times when a angry teacher would jump him with a pop question he would give the correct answer in way that would confound them.

The Ant was a teachers dream, he soaked up every subject the system taught him, gave the correct answers in the correct way and got straight A s. He would delight his Math teacher by doing compound interest in his head. The Ant believed that what they taught him would help him succeed and was very completive. After graduating High School the Ant got an Academic Scholarship and the Grasshopper got a Pell Grant.

Within four years the Ant got two BS degrees in Business Management and Engineering. The Grasshopper dropped out after the first year. He went to live with the Rainbow Tribe for a few years. On the way to the bus station he found an old fiddle in a trash pile along the road and when he got station he was able to panhandle his bus fare. That was the Grasshoppers first beg.

The Ant took the College like a fish to water. During open Rush some Greeks invite him to be a brother in their Fraternity. He earned his dues by being the Frat Houses Accountant and made beer money by writing term papers. One day while visiting the Tri Deltas he watches the girls play volleyball and is amazed that even though they are playing a vigorous game not one of them breaks a sweat. It is there he meets the girl of his dreams, Polly Fishbane.

While the Grasshopper was living with the Rainbow Tribe he never meets the girl of his dreams, but it does not really matter too much because they believe in Free Love. So free, in fact, that after what you might call the Honeymoon he found himself getting a little bored with it. From the Rainbow Tribe he learns to live off the fat of country and from his new friend, Buffalo with Runs, he learns to live off the land. Buffalo with Runs was an very old Indian that was adopted by the tribe. He taught the Grasshopper what wild plants were safe to eat or use for medicines. He showed him how to set traps and hunt small game. Then, during one winter Gathering four people froze to dead because they were too stoned to come in out of the cold. The Grasshopper became very sad and hopped away.

The Ant is recruited by a Aerospace firm even before he graduated college and goes to work on the Apollo Program. He and his new wife Polly loved the Florida sunshine and settle down to start the American Dream. They decide to have two and half children. Even though the third kid looked a bit odd the Ant loved him as only a father can. With easy money down and mortgage tax deductions compliments of Uncle Sam, they get a house with a two car garage. Next they get two cars and the Rat Race is on. The Ant loves it! Working on the Apollo Program is more than a job, it is being part of history. Polly loves it! Raising their kids and Keeping up of with the Jones. She starts selling Avon products on the side. The Ant buys the best bass boat in the neighborhood, but only uses it once a year because he too busy working. He sets up his retirement funds and a small stock portfolio. Life is Good!

After leaving the Rainbow Tribe the Grasshopper panhandles his way across the country. He sets up in parks and subways where he pretends to play his fiddle while selling jewelry made of deer anthers and beads. The noise he makes with his fiddle sounds like a cat being killed and people give him money just to make him stop. Before the Cops run him off, the Grasshopper usually made enough in one day of begging to cover his needs for the week. When he is hungry he goes to a Soup Kitchen and when he needs clothing there are the Sharing Centers. Every now and then he lets some good hearted woman try to save him. Life is Good and he hops away.

The Apollo Program ends and the new Shuttle program does not start for a couple of years. The Aerospace company were the Ant works at does not win any of the new bids. They offer him a job in California at 20% less of his salary. Polly and the kids are in a rage. Nobody wants to move and leave their friends. The Ant sells his house at a loss because the real estate market in flooded by the laid offs. The one car and the boat are reprocessed. He sells off his stock portfolio for the down payment on the new house in California and even though money is tight the Ant decides to take the family on a short vacation to Key West to uplift their spirits. He finds the Grasshopper selling deer antler jewelry at the Front Street Market. While Polly and the kids go shopping, he and Grasshopper catch up and have a couple of beers. The Ant tells his friend about the laid offs and the move. The Grasshopper asks him - Are you Happy - ? The Ant says - Yes -. His friend says, - Good - . They watch the sunset and see a green flash on the horizon.

I'm a girl, 17, studying in singapore in a polytechnic now in diploma in hospitality & tourism management as a year 1 student.
As you would know, this course requires a lot of travelling to overseas and there's one up this september and another in feb 2012 and more to come up.

I don't have the money to pay for these trips as I had to went to the Ministry Of Youth Development & Sports to complain about my parents that they are not bankrupt or jobless and yet they refuse to allow me to further my studies during the period of administration to polytechnics. They got scared and thus they had no choice but to allow me to study since I was under them till 21 years old.

However, when I approach them with regards to all this overseas trip and asking them to fund it, they say that these trips were irrelevant and don't see the need to go for it. They told me to lie to the organisers that my family is poor and had no money to pay for it and if the organisers insist on going, then ask them to pay for you.

I don't see why I have such stingy parents! Do you know where their money go? They invest it in my younger sister, buying good quality stuffs for her! Bringing her out on weekends to high end restaurants and buying branded stuffs for her while I only much on bread and rice for meals. Even if my bag is torn, I have to starve to save money to buy a new one. Don't you think this is so unfair? I'm their flesh and blood after all!

I really need help from good Samaritans like you guys. Please donate my a dollar or more if you could so I could get money for my school's compulsory overseas trips. I need $1500 for the coming trip in September and $2000 in the next trip.

Please help me.

Hi there,

My partner and I are in a bit of financial trouble at the moment, having recently relocated to a new city we have struggled to find work.Thankfully we have both managed now after three weeks to find some employment however we won't get paid for another three week's . The problem is we have drained our savings moving , paying for temp accommodation etc. We are paid up until next Wednesday in our current hostel but after that we will have no money to live for a few weeks. Currently we have $12 in the bank which probably won't last past tomorrow.Any help would be greatly appreciated we are a young couple just trying to get back on an even keel.We have looked into couch surfing but it's not really suitable for people who work . We have also spoken to the hostel about working for our bed which again is not suitable as you need to be available during the day which is when we will be at work.

I thank you very much for taking the time to read this I know it's not the "normal" approach to things but I pray it works.

Thank you again!

Katie
