I am a single mom of two children ages 16 and 11. My oldest is a special needs child with health problems of his own. I have worked hard all of my life to barely stay a float. My ex signed off all rights and doesn't help at all.

I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, 2 herniated disks, spinal stenosis, and have just found out that I have had a heart attack on top of it. With me constantly going to doctors for myself, and doctors for my oldest child, I am unable to work any more. I have applied for my disability but I am waiting for a decision. Money is very tight. I have paid all but $400.00 of our monthly bills and I am asking for kind hearted people out there to please help us make the rest of our monthly bills this month.

I have sold everything we have that is of any value, so I am at a loss of what to do from here. I don't qualify for any assistance except for $100 in food assistance and medical.

Please help us.

The past two years have been hellish for me. I have lost everything but my faith and absolute love for my daughter. My ex-wife and her mother have alienated me from my daughter since her birth two years ago. I left a comfortable job and home in a state on the Gulf Coast to move to the East Coast state my daughter was taken to, so that I could be involved my child's life. Upon arriving, my then wife (an attorney) and her mother (child psychiatrist)began alienating my daughter from me in a variety of ways. I initiated the legal process with a very reputable law firm who has handled the divorce component. We agreed to a temporary visitation schedule, but due to my limited financial means the custody component is still ongoing. I had to file for bankruptcy last month (losing my house and all financial holdings I possessed). I continue to support my daughter via support. I'm currently attempting to save up enough money to pay the $5,000 retainer fee required by my attorney (I've worked 2 jobs since I moved here 2 years ago). Once I pay her, she can begin helping me gain equal custodial rights when considering my daughter. I'll be thankful for ANY amount of monetary support here. Peace and Love

Hello

I recently started up my own opera company and I am looking to fund our inaugural production of Cosi fan tutte. I am seeking funding within the region of $6000 in total but all assistance is most appreciated.
The action has been updated to modern day Italy, we have our whole cast and venue up and ready to go. But the dream will vanish if we cannot get the money behind it.

You can find out more details about the project here:

http://www.pozible.com.au/index.php/archive/index/4727/description/0/0

We have a performance target date of March 18 2012 for the venture which is why we are looking for the money immediately. This is the best date to tie in with our venue, the beautiful Makers Market at Abbotsford.
Funds include costuming and props, set design, hiring chamber orchestra and instruments, publicity, payment of director and music director, buying rights to specific images and creating posters and programmes. The artists, including myself, are NOT making any money from the venture and are giving up their time for free.
I am a highly motivated self-starter with extensive experience in both the practical and administrative side of the arts. In return for your valuable help I am able to assist you to get your own business projects up off the ground in areas such as data entry, copywriting, editing, proofing and the creative process. Or if you are a creative organisation or individual needing a hand, whether it be through performance or administrative matters, I would be happy to help you free of charge.
Additionally, my wonderful troupe of singers can perform at your next corporate functioning or gathering - we will even travel as a special thank you!
This is an exciting new initiative that you and/or your business can get involved in from the ground level. I guarantee that this venture will make money - so if it is difficult for you to get involved as a donor, we can organise a repayment scheme.

I can't tell you how grateful I am. Thank you so much for your time.

An American reject
Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing because I have found an injustice that it seems no one else has noticed. I know that I am only one person, but they say one voice CAN make a difference.

I know many people who have made their share of mistakes  we all have sinned no one is perfect. Some just get caught up, can't afford a lawyer and   And want to confess, hoping there would be some type of leniency.  Considering they were young and didn't realize this would affect them the rest of their life. and i have tried to correct each mistake i  have made. The question I pose is how long is a person supposed to pay for those mistakes? Everyday I see people who are doing there best to clean up there life and get a job; but because they are felons/ or have a heinous misdemeanor as society feels that is a liability.  they are turned away from having a better life. That not only affects them and their families but it also affects society. If a man or woman is trying to lead an honest life and jobs are turning those individuals away what’s left? Go back to “the block”? If they get back in the streets they take the risk of losing there *freedom* but if they keep being turned away from jobs because of their past they risk losing there homes and families too. So what is a person to do after all we make mistakes.  Some are just smarter, or maybe they just know how to hold a lie like Casey anthony. But how is it fair for an employer to turn me away for being honest about my past. After all it was 13 years ago and did I ever really know how hard of a punishment and debt that I would half to pay to society as well to my unthought of family at the time.  My decision as a child is affecting my now 10 year old.  I made a mistake i feel like I would of been better off stoned to death I'n the center of the city.  Than to go on continue getting turned down left and right I don't know how long I can go on like this.  Where is the justice for me? Do I no longer have rights.  Am I considered a worthless piece of trash now that I have a conviction a black cloud holding over my head? From 13 years ago I was 18!!  How fair is that for my family NOW! Something needs to be done.  Justice for all!!! These employers shouldn't have the right to go as far back and discriminate. There should be a 7 year law.  After all there is a clean sleight after bankruptcy.  There able to wipe their debt clean as if they owed nothing.  Why can't we. Why is there some type of stigma.  For people that have been convicted and have never gotten convicted again.  That's showing you were trying to live as productive as we can I'n society.  But trying is the key word here because I feel I can't even get a chance!  

Despite what people may think, individuals who have records also have families they have to care for. Once a person has paid there debt to society for there crime and is making noticeable effort to clean up and live right they should have the opportunity to do just that, not be sentenced to a life of crime because there is no other way to survive. I’m sorry but McDonalds and Burger King just isn’t going to cut it with a 30 year old man or woman with 3 kids. This is supposed to be America, the land of opportunity and justice for all, but where is the justice for these people?

I feel very strongly about this and I would love to see justice made true. I plan to write every address and person I can find. I plan to be that one voice that is letting as many people know that this is wrong and unfair according to plain ethics and the so called American Dream.

I truly hope this reaches out to you and I hear back from you soon. I don’t know if a 32 year old female who is living a life like the one I explained above is going to make a difference but I can say at least I am trying make a difference.

It's verry hard for me. I can't find work. I have no health insurance. And recently I need work done on my mouth that I can't afford to pay for. I don't know where to turn. I can't afford a Christmas for my daughter. And if unemployment dint get passed for 2012 were screwed. There's been days of me going without to bed hungry so my daugter can eat. Sometimes I think of ending my life cuz I'm some useless pice of crap that can't make it I'n this word. But my daughter gives me strength and with god I know all this are possible. I won't give up, I'll keep fighting. It's just so hard. Abd it doesn't get any Easyer I'n this small town. If you know of anything that can help me and my child please feel free to call. 484-560-0090. Something's gotta give there's gotta be a way out... -Ceecee

Please remember Gods loves everyone and gave his life for EVERYONE to live even convicted misdemeanors.

Yours truly an American reject

Love someone in a country where there is not recognizion of same sex relationship is a nightmare. Being a foreigner make it worst!
Is my case, I am in a relationship with an american woman, we love each other and want to stay together for the rest of our lifes.
I must leave the country if we don't marry! US government could not deport me due that the law DOMA was derogated by Obama, so I would stay in the USA without the right to leave the country until the law become federal. But I will be together with the love of my life.
We are 2 middle age women, my american partner is unemployed and I am a foreigner with not rights in the USA, we are surviving of the generosity of acquaintances and we don't have any financial mean to go to Washington DC to celebrate our ceremony, we are counting on your generous help to be able to make our dream come true, and make this journey there and get marry.
Please help on behalf of love!!

Hi recently I tried to help a young couple with 2 children and their mother who were losing their house by letting them move in with my family and at the time I owned an Adult Foster Care home. These people that I tried to help started to cause a lot of problems and soon they had child protective services knocking on my door along with my state licensing department and also recipiant rights advisor which then in turn led me to lose my buisness for problems that I wasn't even involved in nor was anyone else in my family. I was able to get my old job back but my income is very low and I am not able to keep up with all of the bills that theese people have left me with and the money that I hav e to pay back to my residents. My husband is unable to find a job and I'm so afraid that we are going to lose everything that we have worked hard for because of some ignorant people that we tried to extend our help to. I'm getting more depressed by the day and I can't believe that it has come down to this but there really isn't any other options. No one will give me a loan because my income to debt ratio is too high and I have no one else to turn to. Please if you could find it in your heart to donate any amount would be a blessing and it would be so appreciated. In the meantime we will keep on pushing forward and hopefully everything will work out! Thank you again for your consideration.

first want to thank you for taking your time reading this. I am not going to fully paste a long sob story, but this is a story of a broken father trying to get his son home where he knows he is going to be loved, safe and to be raised happy.

My oldest son Keegan who was born to me on Christmas has been out of my home for over 3 years. My son is 10 years old and right now is living at a Residential Treatment Center; this facility was provided to him by the State of Texas Department of Family Services. The Department of Family Services was sought by my ex-wife over 3 years ago for help assistance while I was working to support my family living. This is not going to be a story where I am going to bash my ex-wife, at that point of life she was not a good mother, she could not handle the responsibilities and our son Keegan was on medications or medical conditions given to us ADHD, Hyper-Aggressive Disorder, and possible Bi-Polar.

Keegan was not acceptance to large change. We had to move from a city and a house where my son felt settled, back to our home city of Amarillo. This condition did not set well with my son, but as long as Daddy was with him he felt safe. Then Daddy had to be gone from Monday through Friday (except Friday Night) for work, and then when I was home I would spend time with my kids. Keegan was settled with this, but on the second week gone his medications ran out and the MHMR would not see him for three weeks, his past Pedi-physiologist would not refill medications unless they saw him which started him on a process where his mother felt she could not attend to his needs. Situations always arose and my ex-wife sought help from the Pavilion while I was away. After one month of this my ex-wife who was listening to “her” friends kept telling her to seek help with Family Services. Then an incident happened at home, my ex-wife and her friends left the house to look at business property (for what reason I still do not know), but left a thirteen year old who was not mental capable himself to watch Keegan, his sister Shaylah, and her friends youngest son. The situation happened when my son Keegan and Shaylah got into an egg fight with the thirteen year old and his youngest brother. The youngest brother got upset because he was losing and picked up a stick and STABBED Keegan in the back and punctured him. Keegan got upset and picked up his Fatboy skateboard and knocked him across the forehead knocking him out in one hit. This information was provided to me by my ex-wife and her friends. That is when my ex-wife called the Sherriff f department on Keegan because of the situation; she allowed her friends threaten to beat him to death and scared him so bad he defecated himself. He did not feel safe and the only person who would make him feel safe was over 3 hours away.

Since Keegan was under the age of 10 years old they could not take him, so again my ex-wife called Family services and with the discussion of everything and the fact he had been in the pavilion prior the accepted to take him for help and placed him in a temporary children’s facility.

I did not even to get to see my son before they took him, I had to go to the Randall County Courthouse where I was explained by the legal team and Family Services if I did not accept this treatment for my son I would be held liable for the charges and I could charged for his actions. I knew my son needed help, but not this help. I was assured he would get proper treatment and care for, and he should be home soon. A year later I was told the state now has permeate custody of my son, but I still have a stature of rights as a parent and I am not banned to see my son.

There is more to that story, but again I am not dragging other events, but after three years he is in a facility that tends to switch out employees weekly, they are not participating in family counseling, at this point of my letter I have not talked to my son in over 2 months, and have not received any of his letters he writes. Visitation has been promised to me once every other month to bring him home for a day visit, but that has not happened 9 months. The State of Texas has made a statement they are not responsible to bring my son home for visitation because they do not have the money for this, and it is my responsibility to make the visitation visits 3 hours from me. I was promised weekly phone calls, but again that is not happening, and when I call the facility nobody seems to be there to assist with the issue. Texas Department of Family Services is over stocked on cases and I tend to get a voicemail over a real phone conversation, and when I email I may get a response. I was explained I am supposed to have family counseling sessions with Keegan because the facility is breaking that bond with my son and his family and for the past 3 months that has not happened. I have been told by the State because of my financial conditions even if he was ready to come home they would not let him.

This is my plea for help, my son needs help, I need help and I need to do something about my situation. I am a hard worker, I take care of my two other kids and do not receive any support from my children mother. I make enough to stay afloat, I have a best friend (as close as a brother) help me trade my old Chevy Pickup for an automobile that will get me around in the city but do not go hard on it. Overall I am just an average hard working low class worker trying to get back what is his.

Hello. My name is Allison. I'm 44.
My father was a schizophrenic my mother was a 1950's mom.
This was back in the early 1970's when people didn't know much about schizophrenia. The drugs made my dad really sick and he didn't want to take them. My mother, being from her generation, was ill prepared to deal with this kind of situation.
When I was 8 we moved to Woodstock, NY on my father's whim. Dad wouldn't work, so my Mom has to. I also have an older brother, Mitchell, who definitely picked up the mentally ill gene at an early age. After a time my Dad became really violent. He asked us all the time if we were afraid of him, but we were all too frightened to tell him "yes". my brother moved into a boy's shelter in town. He was 13 at the time. My brother got into lot's of fights. The night after the first time my father hit her, my Mom moved into a close-by seedy apartment to keep an eye on us kids, but my Dad wouldn't let her near us.
I was Daddy's princess which for some reason still makes me happy to this day. Being alone with him was a psychodelic nightmare. My Father told me that I was the Messiah(we're Jewish) returned to bring peace to the world. My Father said we would find the garden of Eden. I saw a lot of things that I'm sure couldn't possibly exist, but still think they were real.
It's difficult to explain what it's like to live with a schizophrenic. The person can be quite docile and then, on the drop of a dime, become a hideously violent person.
My father never physically hurt me, like he did my brother and my Mom. Nor did he ever molest me. my Dad did make me live in his mind like a cult makes you part of the group mind.
Eventually my Mother kidnapped me during the middle of the day from my elemenatarly school. She had got a legal separation from my Dad. He saw her car parked at a motel that night and kicked the door down. He asked me if I wanted to go with him or stay with her. I was 9 at the time, it seemed that the right thing to do was to go with my Mom, and my Dad agreed to let me go.
My Dad had visitation rights every weekend. He didn't show up the first weekend. We waited and waited.
The next weekend I slept in, not expecting him. Then, of course, he arrived. I knew it was going to be a bad deal.
The first thing my Dad did was try and kill me. He kept saying over and over, "why don't you love me!? why don't you love me!?" He was driving so fast and i was too small to see over the dash. He said, "if you don't love me I'm going to hit that tree and kill both of us!" I knew he meant it. We were going very fast but I got the car door opened and was going to jump it. He pulled the car door closed. I screamed, "Okay, I love you, I love you, I love you." and he slowed the car down.
We went to go have something to eat at some diner. We got back in the car and I promptly fell asleep and woke up in VIRGINIA.
Dad enrolled me in public school. I told the principle what was happening. The principle called my mother and she came with her father. The law at the time was if the kid was with you in a state, that kid was yours. But my Dad again did give me the choice to stay with him or go with my mother, and I chose my Mother.
At some point we moved down to Florida. My Dad was taking his meds so my Mom allowed him to follow us. Things went bad quickly and Mom called him from my Grandma's house around the street and told him to leave. When it was my turn to talk to him he asked me if I wanted him to leave to and I said "yes". He cursed me and said that he wished the same thing that happened to him would happen to me, and I'm not altogether sure it hasn't.
I've never really known how to relate to other people except tp people that are a lot like me. I'm being treated as bi-polar, but I have Boderline-Personality-Disorder and Post-Traumatic-Syndrome. I've taken classes that have helped me deall with sciety better. But the meds don't work so well. I have panic attacks being around people and hearing loud noises, which is at most jobs. I have trouble sleeping.
That was the last time I ever spoke to my Dad. He committed suicide a week later. My brother lives on the streets in Miami. And my Mom remarried somebody that is the exact opposite of my Dad.

Hi my name is Susan Felton. I have a £155,000 mortgage and my worry is that I am going to lose my job this year. I work for a human rights charity and due to the recession donations are well down. At 60 years old it will be difficult for me to find another job (shame cos I dont look my age and am still regarded as attractive! - look me up on Facebook). I am also very arthritic due to using a keyboard for many years. I was also born with mild disability in the hips and knees and I now have mobility problems.
I have worked all my life, studied hard for a degree and have never had to stay on welfare for more than a few weeks ever in between work.
I got this loan some years ago when I was in better health. Now I am very worried about it. I am a single woman with no family but I do have younger relatives two of whom are mentally ill and need my help. My home is not large enough to have lodgers.If I sell up and just rent the outgoings will be the same. Rents are just as expensive in the UK as mortgages. The equity in my home is not enough to live off.
I am hoping to raise enough money to pay this mortgage off fairly soon.
I worked out that if 31,000 people donated just £5 each that would clear it - or 15,000 people donated £10.
If anyone out there can help they will be my friends for life!
Everything I am saying can be verified if need be.
I really am very very worried!
Please give what you can.

My husband and I live in an apt in the not so greatest neighborhood. We never planned to live here very long however, now we have 3 kids and cannot afford to move. To make matters worse we have a horrible landlord. ther are termits in the walls, mold in the bathroom, the shower leaks all over the floor. The paint is pealing off the walls, the list goes on and on. I have tried quoting renters rights, but because we occasionaly pay our rent late I am afraid he will evict us. We have no where to go. Please help so we can get out of here

I am in my 2nd year of college. I'm studying psychology, and am on my way to obtain my B.S. I go to school full time and run a GSA (gay straight alliance) at the college I go to.

I'm an out and proud lesbian, and I'm not afraid to show it or to fight for my rights as an American citizen.

I need extra money for classes and books for the next quarter, my financial aide/ loans have been cut in half.

My name is Ephraim Ntlamo (18) I’m a Zimbabwean national living in Cape- Town. I came to South Africa on my own in 2008 as a political refugee; I didn’t know anybody here. This situation lead me to living on the streets of Cape Town for months, I was very discouraged by my situation of living under the bridge, but never lost the hope that one day I will be in school again.
In fact being far away from home, missing the family together with being homeless at the same time can be very stressful that the temptation of using substances to stay calm can be very high, however because I had a dream to be a educated man one day, I resisted all this and kept on believing in myself that one day I shall overcome all of these obstacles and enroll into school again. The best platform to reconstruct my life towards achieving my childhood dream of becoming an electrical engineer, these experiences have however made me have interest in human rights law, so I will be studying that after high school.

Thanks to well wisher sponsors today I have a place to call home and I’m attending school. Those are big steps towards achieving my goals in life. I recently applied to attend grade 11at Premiere collage and got accepted; Premiere collage is rated among the best private collages schools in Western Cape. The academic pass rate isn’t bad.

The fee’s are [R 15,000] plus the once off registration fee of R1500 I do not have the money however I’m looking for small sponsorships towards my fees

There are various reasons why I want to be student at this school. Firstly, like I mentioned before it’s a great school to get the best education that prepares someone for the world outside there.

In 2009 formed a soccer team of unaccompanied refugee children from all over Africa living here in Cape Town; the purpose of the formation of this team is for educational purposes. The idea is for us refugee children not to isolate ourselves from South Africans; instead we want to be part of the solution to issues like xenophobia, racism, and any sort of discrimination. See www.refugee6foundation.org. Most importantly this refugee team serves to persuade other refugee children to consider education as the only alternative way to success. We also discuss about issues like HIV/AIDS. At this stage the idea had worked very well: Few boys have abandoned their labour jobs in vine yards farms and they are looking forward to starting attending school this year as well.


For me attending Premier Collage I believe will encourage them to believe that nothing is impossible in life and this step will also enable me to persuade as many other refugee children as I can to quit their labour jobs and go back to school. This will help them to be confident and have the realization that everything is possible in life.

Lastly I’m in the middle of writing my book to be about my life experiences, I therefore think that attending this school because of its great diverse culture will help me write a successful book that might change lives of many youth on the way they view the world.

Thank you for considering helping me put together the R 15000 together!

My name is Ephraim Ntlamo (18) I’m a Zimbabwean national living in Cape- Town. I came to South Africa on my own in 2008 as a political refugee; I didn’t know anybody here. This situation lead me to living on the streets of Cape Town for months, I was very discouraged by my situation of living under the bridge, but never lost the hope that one day I will be in school again.

I am a victim who was attacked my a stray dog while walking through my small town on Feb 10, 2011. I immediatley ran to a house to get help and these nice people drove me to the hospital, where I was treated for stitches to my face, along with several "rabies" shots because of the stray dog. I worried for my safety as well as for my health, so the Emergency physician ordered me to take these Rabies Immune Globul)shots. I recently received the bill. I was not expecting to see $9,581.52. Now I am really devastated. How does a victim of a dog attack not get any help? I have made several attempts contacting and consulting with attorneys to find out my rights. Because it was a "STRAY" dog and no one claims the dog, I have no other choice but to be responsible for this Emergency Bill. I would like to post the actual Physicians Bill and a picture of the scars to my face. I won't be able to afford Plastic Surgery, but it's needed. I can live with the scar to my face (12) stitches from under my eye to my upper lip. I just need some help with that Emergency Room Bill. I have taken on another job selling cosmetics to others, yet this still isn't enough. If you or anyone you know may have crossed paths with, that has been a victim of a serious dog bite to the face, you will understand my needs, However for those of you that this has never happend to, please have it in your heart to view the photos.

Thanking you in advance... ...for any size donation for these medical bills.

Hello,
I am writing to you to find out if there is a person who can help us with a very real problem. The Institute for
Maximum Human Potential is a nonprofit 501c 3 tax deductible organization located in South Los Angeles.
Our mission is through a collective effort to enhance the well-being of individuals, families, and neighborhoods by addressing human rights issues in our community.

We are hosting a networking event to raise money to purchase materials for families to assist their bonding and attachment. By increasing their bonding and attachment, evidence shows that we can decrease child abuse for these families. To make this happen, we are sponsoring an event on March 24, 2011. We are looking for a person to provide appetizers/crudites for this event and also for anyone who may be interested in attending the event. Information regarding this event can be found at http://dvinejazz.eventbrite.com

Hello, I'm looking for someone who is willing to trust me and help me with a situation. I am starting a business selling resale rights software and I have a strategy that will make me over $200,000 in the next five to six months and all I need to start the business is $3,000 the other $2,000 will take care of a few personal issues that I'm facing at the moment such as: need clothes, need to help my mom who is 50 years old and struggles trying to take care of my oldest sister's five kids, and more. If you can help me and would like to be a part in this business plan please contact me at:(757)223-9075 or email me at:bryanbrown8272@yahoo.com Thank You.

(I might have accidentally posted duplicate(ish) posts)

Keeping it simple:

I need to get up-to-date on my rent first and foremost and I need another job. There are other things too: I'd love to make a Grocery Outlet/ CostCo run to stock up food and sundries... I need new glasses to replace ones lost in a purloined purse over the summer... it'd be terrific to pay down some medical bills or even just go to the dentist (it's been several years)to make sure I still don't have any cavities.

About me:
I'm an adult student, doing well academically. I enjoy the track I'm on and believe I'm on the right one to boot. I carry a full-time course-load and intend to maintain this momentum. I dropped out years ago and am glad to be back (I'm in my 3rd Quarter back) and it's good for my morale.
I'm unwilling to do any Adult work or anything like that. I've tried that route (again, years back) and for my personality it's no good- I just become sad and resentful and wasted (and I'm in love with someone who'd leave if I did something like that and I don't want to lie and he's good for morale too).
I do occasionally pick up odd jobs (housekeeping, catering, landscaping, babysitting, whatever) and that helps with kibble.

How did I get here?:
When I enrolled in school I was just employed enough to make ends meet and have a little slush fund too. One job from that time has had to cut my hours by 75% and the tips during my remaining shifts are also down. The other regular job I was working ended after my then boss became particularly inappropriate and abusive while late in paying me (I'm still waiting on that check which I believe will come in about two weeks- long story but that's probably within all rights).

So that's me. My friends would help more if they could (and they cheer me on and cover my movies and the like) and so would my family (older parents, teacher siblings) but they can't. And my problems are causing problems to others when I can't pay my bills and so even more I want this all solved. My landlord is the opposite of a jerk and I am supposed to be a regular, reliable source of income.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for helping. I will send out a God Bless request and continue to pray- however, if you don't believe in God that's fine too. Have a great day.

I realize this is totally desperate, BUT rest assured that after 4 years of estrangement, I must and will use all contributions towards filing an uncontested divorce.

I am a part-time state employee and a Dean's List student who is totally self supporting(aka BROKE). But I need to get on with my life, and you can help make it happen! With gas to get there from my home 2 hours away, filing fee and fee to have the papers served, I estimate it will cost about $200 initially. No amount is too small and all donations are GREATLY appreciated!

Trust me, I know there are way better causes to give your money to.. animal rights, Haiti, sick children etc etc etc. And who the hell am I to even ask?! I got myself into this mess, I should get myself out, I know. At this point all my money is going to survival, and school expenses. Any little bit helps. I am usually too proud to beg, but there is nothing more in this whole world that I want than to be FREE OF MY EX. I have a variable second job as a temp, and I am looking into other ways of making money in my spare time, also at things like yard and bake sales,lawn mowing, leaf raking, etc too. I am not trying to sit on my ass and have folks cover my expenses, trust me. But any little bit helps. Can't fault a gal for trying, can you?
