unemployed senior citizen volunteer needs help with car repairs

Posted by calforniaorbust on 2012-01-01 13:58:09

I have always help my family friends and strangers in need of a place to stay, food, ride, money clothes ect. Well due to a move, divorce from an abuser and surgery, I thought things were looking up when I got my career moving for a non profit senior resident center, then after a year offered a great position in management for a nursing home but this is a rural community and I did my job well. Due to the economic environment I was let go and my old job already replaced me. Im on unemployment. If I can move to a bigger city, like near los angeles (I have a free place to stay) then I will never be without a job. Currently I volunteer my time with hospice and driving seniors to their doctor appts and errands. My car is old but paid for I need auto repairs in the amount of 2,000; dental work 800; Relocation expenses to move to California 6000; and a job masters degree in healthcare in san fernado valley California I have a paypal account or you can send the money directly to the vendors in kind to me. My dad is a retired veteran from Vietnam era, he works for above minimum wage and I live with him currently. He gets his retirement too but he needs a new fence for his house, I helped with all thee renovations but being unemployed I can offer the labor but the materials are about $2500.00 or $4500 installed he would never ask for a handout but he also needs extensive dental work and replace his implants front teeth from 40 years ago from accident his smile means everything to me. With that said once im able to get back on my feet and return to work, I will be able to help others too! Thankyou for any assistance you can provide in these matters .

Start up money for coffee and sandwich shop.

Posted by AmyRock on 2011-06-22 17:58:51

My husband and I have bought a building and have done some serious renovations to make a local coffee and sandwich shop that would also provide art classes and music on the weekends. There are 2 very nice apt. above that help make the mortgage. We ran into more problems than we expected renovating the lower half and ran out of the money we saved up. We are about 3/4 of the way there. We were lucky enough to purchase much of our equipment at local auctions (all NSF approved) so our biggest obstacles at this point are supplies for plumbing and some marlite for bathrooms as well as some paint and then money to buy the initial inventory of food. We are so close and don't want to give up now. The other part of our story has to do with my son. A year and a half ago he was run over by a bus. He is doing miraculously well, better than anyone expected and I need the flexibility that owning a small business would allow me for his continued medical treatments. I am lucky to live in a community in which I have many friends who have offered to work shifts in my absence. Everyone here is really excited about the prospect of having a place for artists and families to gather and I'm excited about being able to give back to our wonderful community. Please help our dream to become a reality.
