      Over the past few years, I've occasionally shared requests from friends and               family who needed help to get through a challenging time.       Anyone who knows me knows that I hate asking for help with anything, and               asking for money is especially hard for me.       I never thought I'd be doing this, but I'm facing eviction and have tried               every other option available to me.       Now, before everyone starts booing and hissing my landlord, let me say right               up front that he doesn't want to do this.       He has bent over backwards to work with me as I slipped behind in rent in               drips and drops over the months.       He hates himself for doing this, but his back is against a wall, too.       As long as I was able to come up with the bulk of the rent each month, he was               good with letting my growing arrearage slide until       times got better.       Unfortunately, a combination of factors since June1st have meant that for the               first time ever,       I was unable to pay the rent for June and July months.       I have Gone down to Housing Alliance and the only way they can help is if I               pay the Rent of 800.00 out of the 1,600 get receipt       from landlord before it goes to court on the 7-23-15 then will they help me               and pay the other 800 thats back owed       From there out we would be able to Make our rent payments on time all the time       And since I hate asking something for nothing, I'm very willing to work for               the money. At Wife's suggestion, I'm offering My Services on weekends to Help               You Work on       projects or need a helping hand with anything else that you cant do by               yourself       just get in touch with me to work out details if you're interested.       The Work would just have to be on Weekends tho since I do work all week       Dont really want to move again cant afford to and Wife is disabled she cant               take yet another move       PS my step daughter also says she is available to do some work like babysit ,               walk dogs ect..       as long as you are within driving range from us in worcester and not to far               away               If You can Donate Please Follow the Link below        http://www.gofundme.com/za7rmg              ... An idea is a curious thing. It won't work unless you do.              ---        * Origin: Cascades II BBS -Telnet://cascadesbbs2.com (1:322/759)    |
