I do not think that I can feel any worse about myself than I do by posting this...

I'm really down on my luck now and having more than a hard time
finding any source of income.
I am posting this message in hopes that there are enough good
samaritans out there that I can have some of the load taken off my
shoulders.

Here is the hard truth. If I don't make $1500 in the next 70 days then
I will have no place to live, nor any place to hold my belongings.

I'm not asking anyone to pay this amount.
It is my burden to bear, and my responsibility I know.

I'm asking for just $1.00 or more if you are willing to donate any more.

I am trying hard to find a "day job" but so far my attempts have been futile.
I am not giving up on finding a job, I am just putting this message
out there to try to get a little help.
I know that everyone works hard for their money, and has no obligation
to give me a dime.

If you are willing to give to help me out of a bind, then please
donate any sum that you wish to my PayPal account,
or mail a check to my P.O. Box.

PayPal:

P.O. Box 231311

Thank you.
Blessings on everyone.

Whoa, four topics?

I can't spare too much either, but I just donated 5 bucks. Things will work out.

My wife and I have invested all of the money from our recent loan into our new business. Once we open up shop (should be another week or so) and start making decent money, I'll see if I can send you a bit. Won't be much to start but every little bit helps. It sucks to face losing your home...I know, because we were on the verge of losing ours too.

How much do you need still?

I don't have the exact amount in front of me, but I know that its more than $1000 unfortunately.

I've been putting in job applications all over the place.
I've sent my resume to over 100 people on craigslist.
I have cold-called all of my previous clients.
I have put out advertisements for computer services at the grocery store, the music store, and the local gym.
I added some amazon.com affiliate stuff to my site.
I have done pretty much every in my power to make this work, and yet I am still totally fucked.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
I turn 25 in 5 days too..not that that has anything to do with anything..*sigh*
I'm about to the point where I'm going to walk door to door and offer to fix/optimize their computer(s) for $20..
Might start that this weekend..*sigh* I really hate the way this life has gone..
