Aidpage

Hi Kimberly

I came onto Aidpage looking for help with rent and ended up on soulight's site. I guess that is what I searched for it was in Nov.2008. I joinded aidpage. I found help on her site for my cat where Volunteer's of America the Los Angeles office will take care of his shots and flea medication. I have gotten some help from a couple of members here. And for me there is no money assistance in California and I have tried finding my own source the Joclyen center for rent and no funds avaiable and you know the state of finiancial mess we are in here. I had to recall a hospital who put me in touch with a center that sends out a lady who is here every two weeks to do light housekeeping and learned of some food banks in my area from here and a neighbor gave me a sheet with a lot of food banks. At one time the Catholic Church even paid her late gas bill and electric but their funds are low.

My light is on but I am looking for other things to do, places to live while on the net...So I am back and forth but keep an eye out for anyone needing help if I can assist. 

I find you have to keep looking for work from home besides some of the things I do..I just would post and belonged to other sites and doing some home based business or telemarketing looking for work. I was still living at my mom's deceased house taking care of so called trust matters still when I joined Aidpage.  And then in July 19th 2009 my page got lost so Emil and Aidpage Team worked fast to get me back on line but all my posts were gone forever so I started to reposting things all over again.  I need other work to and my suggestion is to look at nationsharedhousing.org to live with others as I find it is too hard to manage on my own. 

We all have are dark moments in life and then something happens sometimes to turn it around to a brighter moment. We do the best we can. I just came across another work from home site but affilate work again. I would love to do what I need to do and work again outside the house or shall I say apartment. I love to be 46 again. I am an aging hippie forever young at heart. 

I hope the light at the end of the tunnel shines for all who are going through difficult times and soon. So until then 

Peace to you sister

Starshine......that actually makes me smile inside when I read it!

Thank you for responding to my post.  Myself, as so many here are on the virtual brink of disaster and I can sense the desperation in all calls for help.

I do find it odd that I came here desperately in need of funds to move to a location where I can pursue my mission, and yet my mind and heart is filled with the needs of others.  I can see that you spend a great amount of time and energy working to source for others.  May I ask...when you came here to post for the first time was it to fill a need?  If so, were you assisted?

I appreciate very much the link to Kiva.  I have heard of them, but am pretty sure that I am not going to qualify for a small business loan, for the most part do to the effects of the economy on my credit as well as a full assault on my identity over two years ago.  Truth told, I am not one to check my credit very often, and I became aware of the ID theft as I was registering for an inpatient procedure at John Muir in Concord, CA.  I was told by admissions that if I didn't pony up half of the 'anticipated' costs, I could not be admitted.  Well, I had to get this cyst in my brainstem worked on again, and so I cleared out what money I had to my name, and had the work done.  The funny part is, I was at the time waiting for my Medicare to kick in, but do you think those people in hospital finance would bend?  Heck no.

So really, the recession and angst that most are feeling now started for me then.  I think it was also the first time I ever actually referred to myself as disabled.  I thought I was at the lowest point I could possibly be at.  But life is very unpredictable, and I now know I was WAY above the bottom.  Now is the bottom.

If I can't get out of here and onto the other property that is being donated to me, I am sure I will not last.  I know people say and think those things all the time and then a solution comes.  But this time it is different.  I am becoming very clinical and analytical about this life and my place in it.  I am sure to be evicted from my current home, and I have completely run out of resources.  Then, I just see a blank page.  No future, no past.

Gosh, that got kind of dark.  Sorry for that.  Keep in touch, and again thank you for your suggestion to try kiva.

Peace sister,

Kim

Hi Kimberly

Welcome to Aidpage. I am sorry you had to go through all the surgeries and stroke but I am happy you are alive. 

What a wonderful mission you have in store to help save dogs lives as yes in CA that happens to dogs and cats as too many are left behind. I remember here in CA our governor wanted to save money by not giving the owners more than 3 days to locate their pet at the pound. I think that was changed but many pets are put to sleep all over the United States because there is no room for them all. 

You can check out kiva.org for a small business loan and I don't know if that is what you need or want but it is worth a look at the site. 

I hope your dream comes true as it would save so many dogs.
