 In the year of 2006 the question on everybody’s mind, is “As Sacramento expand its music exposure, is there talent”? There is a lot going on in the music industry, from big to small production. Yet behind the scenes action is coming to the light. Artist in R&B to Neo Soul to Hip-Hop are in demand and many artist are making a transition. The local scene is exploding new talent.
 I present to you Marlyn  “Willrite” Hill. Willrite is a young entrepreneur/student with a passion for writing and recording some of the most intriguing lyrics. With the college background Willrite has combination of skills to offer the local arena. He Can write, sing, and dance, this is a plus when signing to a major label. Although Willrite has the material and drive for the major leagues he decides to take a risk and keep his publishing right by becoming a publisher, Willrite Ink.
 This artist won’t take “no” for an answer, he says “No only means I must find what I seek in another way”. With this energy Willrite makes it happen. Networking gets easier for this artist as he joins force with the underground voodoo rappers including Mr. Riverwater  himself, Forest of Fire and infamous Blacksmith just to name a few. This trio is on every plain of the music industry leaving their fans captured by amazement.
 Going every where but no where, Willrite decides to stay right where he is, in his home for 25 years Sacramento, CA. Willrite says “If I can do it here I can do it anywhere”. Willrite also known as Marz is making a positive influence on those in positions of authority. In 2006 Willrite is making a name that will soon be in every house hold Global. Forest, Blacksmith, and Willrite make a “Blue NeoSoul.

I am a 30 yr old single mother of 2 residing in Connecticut. I am currently working as a casino dealer , very odd hours..my shift is 5am -1pm. and only scheduled 2-3 days a week. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ( yes it is a very real sickness) which makes it very hard to function outside of home. I also have recently been told that I have Spina Bifida (don't know why it wasn't found when I was born ??!!) I would like to be able to work from home and spend more time with the kids. I dont want to have to apply for disability because I would like to have my own little business and have things to do.  I also would like to own my own home one day. Im trying to keep my hopes up that I can make this happen. I have been renting for the last 10 years and I would love to have my own home one day. Any information on how to buy a home with not so good credit or any grant programs would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Ahead of time!!

Are there GRANTS for ARTISTS that want to start a small business???

 

I've heard that there is money available, through grant programs that can help start a business.  I've also heard that there may be grants available especially for women, entreprenurs and maybe for artists.  I want to start my own decorative painting business, and really have very little means of doing so currently.  I want to try and become independent as my marriage is on the rocks.  I'm not looking for a free ride, or anything that is not honest.  I just wanted to inquire about the grant programs that I've heard so much about.  If I can get this going, I would eventually like to start up a childrens art studio with monthly art auctions in our community.  I live in Benicia, CA which would truly appreciate such a creative place.  We are a very art oriented town, and I think it would fit in perfectly.

I think the amount I would require is around $5,000.00 - $10,000.00.  I know a formal business plan would be necessary to come up with a better estimate, whick is what I am working on, now.

I'm trying to sell some art to raise food funds! I'm homeless. I've lived in my RV/Studio for 10 years.
I have a Pop Art Formula of cat faced celebrities, done in marker on magazine and finished in found frames.
I think a good level of support would be a $10 donation per Artwork.

I've been shown in some very prestigious places despite my living situation (read, famous and valuable). I THANK YOU for your support.

I am in desperate need of some major dental work. When I was nineteen I was hospitalized because of a staff infection and spent over a year in and out of the hospital trying to fight it off... while in the hospital I was told that the strain of staff I had would always remain in my blood and would most likely take it's toll on my imune system making it harder for me to fight off infections etc for the rest of my life. I'm now 25 years old and I'm finding out that they weren't joking. I broke a tooth about a year ago and since I don't have insurance and my boyfriend & I have been in a really tight spot financially this last year because he had to be unexpectedly hospitalized and have emergency surgery.... after that coming at us from out of nowhere & him not having insurance either.... we just haven't had the money to pay for me to get the dental work done that I need and now since I've put it off for so long it has caused major problems for the rest of my mouth and other teeth have become weak and infected and now I fear it's starting to take its toll in  other areas besides just my mouth.... I've recently started having major migraines and have recently started even seeing the infection take it's toll on my skin too with major breakouts and acne. (Something I never ever had any issue with before this tooth problem) This whole mess has not only hurt my physical health but it has also hurt my self confidense and has left me feeling ugly and depressed to the point where I don't even like to go out of the house or be around people. I'm desperate for help so If anybody can assisit I assure you I'd be forever greatful. Thanks

I am a starving artist

Hi, am a passionate artist that wants to follow my dreams and do what I love most and that is to create beautiful art pieces. But unfortunately, I am so much in dept that I am unable to keep up with my bills as well as buy art supplies. Everytime I saved up enough to buy paint that I need it must go towards my bills.  This is really depressing because not only can I make enough to support myself, I can't even do what I love most. I graduated with an arts degree in studio arts, but is unable to pursue my dream due to my school bills and my living expenses. I had to subject my self to working at a job that does not pay enough. Please help, anything will work.

I Need $1000 Now to pay my rent!!!!!!! It's two months past due

The greatest challenge we face is that of leaving this world in better shape than we found it.

I have given it all away with a smile, knowing that I helped people along the way.

Now I need help making my world a bit better, and my hope is that I can someday rise above my current circumstances to help many more.

My biggest dream is to start a camp for people with PTSD. My biggest obstacle is financing. Good jobs are hard to find where I live, though I continue to follow every lead. I wish success for all and hope for success for myself. I can decide to despair or to believe.

I choose to believe.

I am the grandmother of a 4 1/2 year old boy, Kevin, who has Down Syndrome.  He lives with my husband and I, as his dad, my son, also.  Kevin's mother went back to her home state of Washington shortly after Kevin's birth because she could not handle Kevin having Down Syndrome.  I as well as my husband are little people, Kevin is almost my size now.  I am beginning to have difficulty handling him, he wanders, his dad works during the day.  I heard about this site from the Indiana Down Syndrome Foundation and thought I would give it a try.  I'm anxious to see about some resources that I might be able to look into, now and in the future.

Hello everyone.

A little about myself. I am 46 years young. I am an Artist and I write Poetry.

My life has been a struggle ever since I can remember. Being Homeless more then once, losing everything, many times I wanted just to die. But the Lord has a plan for me, and for all of you that know where I am coming from, and for you that are struggling just like me every day. I finally have found a job again. Minimum wage of course. My Car is up for Reposession, my Rent is overdue, and so much more. I can't sleep, and at times I think I will have another nervous breakdown.I was told my Poetry is very good. I write from the heart. Things that I have seen. People out on the streets, Mothers with no food to feed the baby's, drug and alcohol abuse. My EX Husband did drugs, the liquor, and I was his personal punshing bag for six years. My problem is, that I don't even have $90 to pay for my copyrights. If anyone out there has some money they can spare, it would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to make a difference for people like you and I. I feel like an Outsider my whole life, and people have treated me like one also. I am poor, no food in my fridge, but I pick up Stray's left and right, and take them home. So I have five dogs now. I know that if you do good, the Lord will reward you. And I am a Believer in the Lord. If anyone could help, maybe by designing a Web Page free for me, or in any other way, I would be so greatful. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. God bless you all who do good. Poetrygirl61

Support Your Local Single Mother, spend more time with her Child! I am a single Mother, I work full-time, and live paycheck to paycheck. I miss my son everyday, and it hurts me so much to leave him at a questionable babysitter everyday because that's all I can afford, he's such a smart boy, and I know he deserves more right now, WHen I see him after work he is stressed out, and he's mad at me, for not being with him. I belive in staying home with your children, and I am in great pain to have to leave him, I am missing out on the best years of his life, working my but off behind a desk, underpaid, I went to school for what I'm doing now, yet I don't have anything. I want to go back to school. I want a higher education,than a A.S. Degree. I want to be able to be with my son more, and only have to put him in daycare for 15-20 hours a week instead of 50 I belive this is so so important, he needs to be with his mother, his family, To grow up with lots of love, guidance and someone who cares that he knows his ABC's, and his manners, etc. I want to go to school to get a better higher paying job, to do better for us amy_will_design@yahoo.com
