Nomad- What you say is correct. But mot all my post are just for people in need. Some people struggle with savings or surviving only because they do not know how to properly spend. I myself dont have the luxury of buy new clothes either, when i can afford to shop its usually for my kids and yes we shop thrift stores too.
in response to trish1980...I really hope you get out of the situation. Ive been in abusive relationships before and i know they are hard and i know its hard to leave. I hope you can leave soon, and please dont say its not ause because even if its only verbal its still abusive
in response to momof2babies...absoutly. Lets make this happen ppl. Its for all of us! (well except me, i dont think it would be fair for me to pick myself)
ps the only reason i put i can help instead of we can or i need your help is because i think ppl are more willing to click when i say i can help. (i can help i just need your help to make it worth it)
I have a great idea for helping people. BUt i cant do it by myself. I need Everyones help here.
Seriously, There are a lot of people who need help here. I would like to personal choice one random person a month and donate what i can.
I am asking for your help rather your rich or poor. I am only asking that when i announce who the winner is for that month, Everybody donates $1. Its not much at all even I can afford to spare $1 a month (raising 2 kids n caretaker of my brother. on cash aid and a monthly income of $200 a month. Im in charge of all the bills, food, and everything else) But this is not where i list my needs. This is what i want to do to help other People. PLEASE! If we all give just $1 it will add up. Let me give an example if 20 people give $1 that months "winner" will have $20, it may not seem like much but it helps. Thats a pack of diapers for a single mom, some gas for a disabled person to get to an appt, A pack of socks and underwear for a child, or enough to buy at least one meal for a family of 4. The list goes on. Imagine how we can help if 100 people give $1. Everyone has needs rather they are working or not. Disabled or Fine. EVERYBODY can use a little help. I wont start till i know I have at least 10 people willing to participate. Also because i feel everyone is able to give $1, I will be more likely to select those who are helping others too. Basically If you donate you will be selected to be donated too. Im starting with Just 1 person a month. Maybe more if this grows into something big. AND of course if you have more to offer the "winner" of the month you are encouraged to do so. (not just money, clothing, extra food, whatever you want)
If your willing to particiapate and like the idea just leave a comment
I am asking that "winners" set up a paypal account to make recieving a donation easier.
This is a site i found, dont know how useful it is and if anyone knows about it but here it is. Its for ppl who want donations and ppl who want to give donation.
my heart is full of pain because some things in my life are up in the air. including my housing once again.... I dont wanna be homeless again, i dont think i can handle it, it think if i am ill loose it and give up
my heart goes out to you deeply and i really wish there was something i could do. The only tip i can give you is check with your electric company about reciving a discounted rate on your bill a lot of companies will do that if you have medical needs. and medical equipment that need to be plugged in. That might save you a little cash. Hope your well soon and bless you n you son
good luck to you hon, sorry i cant help you but remember it takes more then gifts to make it a great christmas. He's so young he wont remeber what gifts he did or didnt get this year. I know its hard and i hope you get through it
Im in a similar situation so i cant offer you much. But i can tell you run avast (home edition is free www.avast.com) that should clear most your viruses also download and run the malware program http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (also free) That should defintaly help your laptop. Other then that i dont know what to say. I was honest and told my kids they will not be getting any gifts from me this year, unless i get a donation from somebody, or somewhere. (but i do have foodstamps so we will still have out traditional bisquits and gravy breakfast)
I dont have much to offer but i would like to let you know that i can edit, restore or enhance pictures. Im willing to do this for free for those who can afford it.
It may not seem like much but as a job restoration cost $1000's of dollars.
This is a great time because christmas is coming, i can restore or enhance pics and you can print them up and give them as gifts.
I also have basic computer knolodge feel free to ask and ill tell you if i know the answer
I need a new (new to me at least) car. Mine is in bad shape and wont last too long. i cant afford to but another car even if i go to an auction. (which is how i bought this car, i saved a year just to have $900 for a car)
