Skilled Tags

I am in need of employment bad. The only problem is that I cannot start work until the end of June which is after my due date. I am skilled in Medical Administration, computers, I have great phone presentation, I will even get my hands dirty if I have to. I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area so if anyone needs help doing anything please let me know and I will be there.

I am 51 years old now with 2 young teenage boys.Ive been out of work for 2 years now.My boys god bless them are doing well at school, and seem to be coping well now as there mother left us over 12 months ago.But I feel im losing the battle.Had to sell the car to make ends meet (well kids need a christmas)but how do i find work further afield if i cant travel.I just did'nt realise the cost of train and bus fares. As the factories have closed and the work has all dried up in this small town,it seem the cities are the places to be,but so expensive to get to there.It saddens me that if a skilled person cant find work today how are the kids of the future going to cope.If you could spare some small changer to help out it would be most appreciated many thanks

I've decided to try and get help through donations http://www.giveforward.com/unbreakmyheart and funding http://unbreakmyheart2011.blogspot.com/from outside sources since every doctor I've seen in 2 years agree that I need the leads to my ICD (defibrillator) replaced; but shuffle me back to the original doctor and wash their hands of me.

I'm raising funds for ICD replacement surgery, to go see a HOCM specialist (Dr. Craig Asher) at Cleveland Clinic in S. Florida and to have advanced testing through Vanderbilt Autonomic Center in Tennessee.

I don't want to admit I need help; I've always been a strong, independent person who took care of everything and everyone. In August 2009, my whole world changed. After my procedure, I applied for disability and was turned down twice and had to hire an attorney. I went from being "super" mom, wife & friend and care taker of an Autistic son to being the one who had to be taken care of.

So how did I get to the point I have to ask others for help? Shortly before Father's Day 2009, I fell and broke my foot. When it didn't heal, I went to my primary with a broken foot and came out with a broken heart. After the shock wore off from the doctor telling me that I was going to die if I didn't have valve surgery; I started asking questions.

I didn't quite believe him and thought he was over reacting when he told me I was going to die because I walked and ran 3-5 times weekly and even did strenuous yard work. I felt fine and have 4 children aged 9-26 and kept up with them and stayed very active in things they did; but I was a ticking time bomb just waiting for the right time for my heart to stop.

He sent me to several specialists who said I had nothing really wrong, just some mild valve problems associated with aging; which was a huge relief. Everything seemed normal except my EKG's; they showed I had a huge amount of PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) roughly 50,000 “extra” heartbeats daily.

My heart didn't really beat fully; it only quivered like a bowl of jello day in day out. The problem with it beating like this is, the heart becomes very ineffective at pumping and your cardiac output drops and heart muscle damage can occur.

The cardiologist and electrophysiologist I saw did extensive testing and recommended more testing in the hospital. I went in for a sleep study, Tilt table test and EP Study with Ablation. The sleep study revealed I had moderately severe sleep apnea and my oxygen goes from 99% down to 73% at night making it very dangerous for me when I sleep.

The tilt table test was the first inkling that something dangerous was going on inside. I fainted and had no palpable pulse; which is a very rare thing to happen. I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia - Neurocardiogenic Syncope and Orthostatic Intolerance.
I then had an ablation to burn the extra pathways in my heart and get rid of the pvc's I was living with daily. I was told this would be a relatively easy process and given a 95% success rate to get rid of the extra beats completely but it never crossed my mind that anything would happen.

What preliminary tests failed to show, is the pattern and origin of my arrhythmias were in a very dangerous spot to ablate - the RV Apex – in the bottom thin underside of the heart.

During the EP Study, I went into cardiac arrest and my heart stopped completely with no rhythm they could shock (Asystole), some how it started again for a few minutes but then stopped again. They were able to shock me back to normal sinus rhythm and luckily, the third time it stopped; it restarted on it's own so I didn't have to be shocked again.

I was diagnosed with Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia; a very dangerous, life threatening arrhythmia. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days trying to find a cause and to be prepped for an ICD (implantable cardiac defibrillator).

It took a cardiac catherization to finally find the problem and to show I had HOCM (obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) and internal high pressures in my valves.

My regular EP had to go out of town after the first procedure, so his partner had to do the implant; he wasn't as skilled as my regular dr and botched the lead implants.

When they checked the leads the next day before releasing me, they found a problem with the lead placement but the dr said it was "ok" and sent me home. Since then, I've had nothing but problems with the unit and been told by several other EP's I need to have the leads replaced and the ICD could be causing part of my problems.

Doctors think my other problems are related to HOCM (obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and Autonomic nervous system failure and when I faint, my heart stops briefly causing damage each time this happens.

After the procedure, my body started failing from the damage it sustained the 4 times my heart stopped. My original cardiologist told me I would be in a wheel chair and totally dependent on others for everything by the time I'm 50; which is daunting because in March I'll be 45 and I can't deny the facts - my body is failing.

I was put on 10,000g sodium daily, water/fluid loading, Midodrine (insurance won't cover it $312 - 30 day supply), Propanolol, Pantoprazole, pain meds, suppression hose and binders as well as having to stay supine the majority of the day - which caused my heart failure to worsen and my EF (ejection fraction) to go down.

Nothing the doctor's have tried has helped, I still faint and my heart stops on a daily basis and I never know from one day to the next if something is going to trigger fluid build up and I have an acute attack.

In June 2011 I fainted falling into the side of my tiled tub, lacerating the side of my head in the process, severely sprained my neck and suffered a concussion. After that episode, I became a bit more cautious with every move I make because the dr found declining neurological functioning and mild brain damage; he said any more falls could lead to permanent major brain damage.

With so many previous medical bills and co-pays, I can't afford the 20% co-insurance to have my ICD replaced and Mayo Clinic wants a $5,000 deposit up front even with insurance. My ICD alone is $125,000, leads another $30,000 and then there's the doctor and hospital fees; which I won't know the cost until the procedure is done.

Each heart rhythm specialist and cardiologist I see tell me there is nothing more they can do after going over my history and treatments; I have a long hard fight to go and I have to just be thankful each day I'm alive. Some days I'm really glad I made it through, other days when the problems and pain take over; I wish the dr's had let me die.

I developed PTSD after the procedure, panic disorder and extreme agoraphobia. I went into such a deep depression over my health issues, I was afraid I would never see the lighter side of things again. I finally went to see a psychologist who prescribed Lamictal and diagnosed me with Bi-Polar disorder which has helped greatly but I still struggle on a daily basis.

One day we were just the “normal” every day family and the toughest thing we had to deal with is a child with Autism. Then; our whole lives changed in an instant we were dealing with mounting medical bills, expensive prescriptions, tests, appointments, loss of income and dealing with the possibility of death on a daily basis.

You just never know what the day may bring, so keep those you love close to you and never take one second for granted.
From the bottom of my heart thank you - even if it's support to say hey; I'm here if you need to talk or I know how you're feeling.

Without sufficient friends or family to rely on, a single person with special-needs pets needs your help in any amount. No steady work in spite of many interviews and diligent searching, multiple health issues, and lack of adequate support network have left this person in a desperate situation. Ten dollars will buy a bag of groceries. One hundred dollars will pay an electricity bill. Eight hundred dollars will help keep this person and the pets in their home. Eighty dollars will help keep communications open so this person can continue to look for work. Eighty-three dollars will buy prescription dry and canned pet food. Twenty dollars will pay for human prescriptions. Two hundred dollars will buy a warm winter coat that fits and which is suitable for job interviews. Five dollars will buy a thrift store garment in the person's current size (presentable clothes that fit are an issue). One hundred twenty dollars will buy a suit for a job interview. Sixty dollars will buy shoes that do not hurt and which are suitable for work. Thirty dollars will help pay for the laundromat for a couple of weeks. Fifteen dollars will buy an herbal supplement to help treat a life-threatening condition.

The financial situation for this person has become very dire due to lack of work. The person is applying for many types of jobs at any rate of pay. This is a skilled and educated individual who is eager to do any work of which the person is capabale. Any amount can help relieve the health-robbing pressure and burden on this person. Two hundred fifty dollars would allow the person to get a needed cleaning for the first time in over two years and to check on tooth pain and a possible jaw problem. Ten dollars will cover the required donation required to visit a low-income medical clinic. Twenty-five dollars will cover most urgent prescriptions for a month.

Two dollars will buy a little bit of fruit. Four hundred dollars will provide a vision exam and new glasses or a couple of pair of replacement lenses as this person is having difficulty seeing with the old glasses.

Please forgive the third person description. It is very hard to write this and just about impossible to use the word "I" in telling this story.

Even a tiny amount will help go for something necessary. No amount is too large or too small to be appreciated or put to practical use to help a very grateful person climb out of a very bad situation and create a more stable and secure life. Thank you again for reading.

Skilled, long-term unemployed person is alone with no benefits of any kind and no one to rely on for help. Just this far from being on the street. An exam from my dentist costs $250. Any portion of this or the whole amount would be helpful. I have several issues, including a possible osteoma, that need to be checked.

Thank you.

I am a student with the university of phoenix, and a baker (actually skilled in all types of culinary) by trade was working for a restaurant called Golden corral. I sustained an injury from my work called tendonitis in my right hand which I am a right handed person. I have been out of work for two weeks and have been living from pay check to pay check because the pay is not all that great and I rarely have a week were I work a full forty hours. Now that I have been out of work the doctor is talking about surgery which I can not afford and the bills keep piling up.I would not be doing this except right now I have no other help or choices. I live alone in a city where I have no family I need some help please I can not afford to lose my internet connection either as school is what I am doing to have a better life for myself.I will work but my injury has put me in a situation where I can not and I do not have any insurance or anything else at the time. PLEASE HELP

I have been unemployed for 2 years with a degree in physics, astrophysics, and math, and almost 100k in student loan debt which is defaulting on me now. I would love to stop teetering on the edge of homelessness and be able to pay off my loans and take care of my family. To do this I need a job! I have teaching experience (3 years in a planetarium, years of tutoring, lab setup, assistant teaching, substitute teacher K-12, and STEM outreach). I am also a skilled researcher and hard worker. I am great at customer service, worked as an admin assistant for several years, as a park ranger/conservation assistant, a salesperson, and even a belly dance teacher. I am talented, motivated, and I want to work. If you have a job for me, please help! Prefer Idaho jobs, but at this point I'm desperate.

Hello all,

First of all, I am so grateful for those of you who come to this site with the intention to donate or tithe. I believe that giving like that will increase prosperity and I usually aim to give as much as I can in my life.

My family is experiencing unusual circumstances. We are very hardworking people with two small children who have never been late on bills in our life. My husband experienced an injury on the job that requires him to train in something new for the first time in 15 years! He has been self employed and we did not pay for unemployment benefits so now he has no income - just at the time our second child came and I cannot work at the moment!

We have a plan! My husband is a skilled fine woodworker by hobby (although he has worked in construction for many years. He has been working in the back yard for weeks with whatever lumber he has on hand to begin to sell planter boxes and furniture on Craigslist. We could not believe that the first postings we made actually worked and he sold several things! This brought food to the fridge for our children and ourselves and although we are late on bills we have faith that he can pull us through with this new work. As luck would have it our digital camera just died!! We have no ability to post his work to sell it and no cash to purchase one. If any kind soul out there would be able to donate something towards a fund for a camera...we would be able to be in business again. This is our only way to bring in an income at the moment. Even a very small donation will bring us closer to being able to bring money in for our family!

I am so grateful for anyone that has taken the time to read this and I assure you that this posting is sincere and heartfelt and made with the best of intentions. If you are able to help we would be SO very grateful.

Sincerely,
Maggie S.

I've had a variety of jobs in a variety of industries but finally figured out what I want to do with my life. So last year I quit my job and returned to college to earn a degree in Game Design and Production.

I believed I could work and go to school full time, but the problem is I have difficulty maintaining my grades when I work. And of course I have difficulty paying my bills when I don't (but it keeps my grades up!)

I am truly struggling because I want to focus full time on learning as much as I can and I've been able to get A's in math, writing, art and various other courses but only when I can focus full time on school without working full time.

I am artist in the digital age, I use graphic design and 3d modeling software, I am also a skilled writer with passion for creating new things.

Please help me focus on school by making a donation today. The more donations I receive the less often I need to work and the better my grades will be.

I also have tons of business and creative marketing ideas, if I were to somehow receive enough donations to not only pay for school but to have some left over, the money would not be spent on nonsense it will be put towards starting my own websites and promoting my artistic creations online.

Help a digital artist today with a donation.

Angel investors also welcome, I have lots of ideas you could invest your money in.

I'm an experienced professional, out of the USAF. I lost my job in the US in 2009 and had to come to the Mid East to work. I'm in a lot of debt. I don't need a hand out - I need a job. I am beyond experienced and highly skilled and talented in the following areas:
(1) Environmental Consulting, Project Management, Sales (Construction)
(2) Training Manager (Overseeing All Materials, Budget, etc.)
(3) Egress Mechanic

I've been busting my rear here in the Mid East training idiots on the Egress system in order to pay bills and debt. I literally broke my back, had repair surgery and got back on the horse (jet). I have a wife and children in tow. We're all homesick, scared, depressed.

Please hire me and bring us home. I'm willing to provide my resume, references and all else required in the pursuit of legit employment.

Hi, I'm Chris, I am 23, an employed college student & I live in southern California.

I am currently living in the Irvine area w/my family. My family is poor to the point of being destitute. I literally do not eat breakfast or lunch since we either do not have food or the food is of such low quality it will make me physically ill to eat it. I buy & only drink distilled water from a local market because it is the only clean source of water available due to contaminants in the public water system as well as the public water is mostly unfiltered reclaimed runoff water.

Educationally I am currently a student that wishes to study culinary arts but is forced to learn networking protocols due to lack of funding. Culinary schools are a specialty school which require a lot of money to attend. I am training for my CCNA+Linux Admin Certs at a local community college.

My first job was to a physician doing medical claims billing part time. This position had me mostly behind a terminal looking at a blinking monitor keeping track of patient records. Starting $8/hr end 9.50/hr. After leaving due to hours being cutback I got a temp job for a company collecting on medical leins. That didn't work out, so a couple months later got a job as a part of the Technical services dept at UCI medical center. Due to having a personal falling out with my parents at the time I was supposed to be hired, I was kicked out. Unable to go to the interview without a car I missed the opportunity until several months later when the position was needed to be filled again. At this point the project that the position was for had already been completed & the final checks were being done. The position only lasted 3 weeks. $15/hr for doing desktop support @ UCI medical center.

After working at UCI a "friend" of mine whom I've known since freshman year of high school told me he could get me a job at his work. Of course after several months of hearing nothing back I realize its just more of the So-cal area bullshit I am so used to.

Since then I have been hired as a model. The agency is setup so that the company accepts models which the models pay into a certain amount ($30) for the service of being sent information on potential upcoming modeling jobs(underwear ads, online catalog modeling etc).

Throughout all of this I've never made enough money to live independently from family financial support due to the unreasonably high cost of living in this area. $800 - $1200 to rent an APARTMENT. $500 - $900 to rent a SINGLE ROOM, NO GUESTS/GF. This amount may or many not include utilities.

The point of the post is to get help. Help by getting donations to help me start a home business in the style of the cottage industry. I have a small business opportunity I could start with $800-$1000 investment that would start me off on the path to independence. Through this I would be selling a specialized product which should net me an income of 3k per month which would allow me to reinvest into the business & provide me with financial independence until I am able to attend a nice Culinary University.

My dream is to be able to attend a nice cooking school & learn to be a skilled Chef.

Donation link at the top!
tl;dr = 23 year old starting a business with an $800 start up cost. Looking for donations to reach my goal.

(Current job only pays bills which leaves no money to save/invest.)


For some reason the site wont accept the E-mail from paypal donation button so I put a link.

Thank for for any donations, I will start my business asap and help those in need when I stabilize.
