(updated April 15, 2008)

I have been away from Aidpage, but not completely out of the picture. What I have I been up to?

I had been making many attempts to still get the word out about what I am doing, but I had not been received well at a couple places:

  • Myspace kicked me off four times. The fourth time, I managed to keep the page running for a few months, and I logged in only to discover that I was removed once again. I am not sure what their reasoning was. It was a description of how I was helping others. I had helped many families through that page so it was very disappointing, and I lost track of people in line to receive help.
  • I posted a page on Squidoo.com. and that page, too was removed after receiving a lot of criticism from members there. I wasnt asking for money; only describing how I was helping others. Apparently I seemed a little too good to be true or people just didnt believe me.

I HAVE been accepted with open arms at WishUponAHero.com.  I am very active there under the name 'The Empty Hanger' Here is how I have helped and currently help others. To date, I have granted over 20 wishes, and more that is not tallied on the site.

  • Sending cards for birthdays, encouragement, friendship, sympathy. That just costs a stamp!
  • Offering advice on situations
  • Sending books (via media mail)
  • Sending spiritual literature (I returned to church in January accepting Jesus into my life)
  • Sending small packages of clothes
  • Sending coupons
  • Sending school supplies
  • Sending my old eyeglass frames to woman who cannot afford new ones. (current)
  • Workiing on a HUGE giveaway starting May 1st for WUAH. (shipping covered by anonymous donor)

OTHER CHANGES

  • 'The Empty Hanger' has been scaled back to a local operation. It was a difficult decision. Aside from what I do above, I still manage to provide packages of good usable clothing to persons in need. I find them at the local food pantry mostly, and word of mouth. Someone will email me at projectemptyhanger@mail2me.com, and we arrange a mutual public meeting place for the person's safety and mine. Its worked out pretty well, and I bypass shipping costs altogether. I do ask a lot of questions beforhand, because my genorisity has been taken advantage of on several occasions, and it is how I screen people. I find that those that are evasive are not being honest with me.
  • I am considering turning over 'The Empty Hanger' as an outreach project at my church.

ADVOCACY

  • Alzheimer's Awareness My dad passed away from the disease January 21st, 2008. He was diagnosed in 2003, and we watched this independant and strong man fight for a long time until we had to place him in a nursing home in 2006. It wiped us out financially and emotionally. I've currently been put into a position to help my mom who lost his pension (because she was not married to him when he retired). I use his likeness in many ways to help educate others about Alzheimer's. I am beginning an initiative for leglislation so that no other  families should be forced into poverty for making the decision to place a totall dependant loved one into long-term care. You can view a video I made by visiting the following link: Alzheimer's Video
  • I also have a tribue page for my dad. Go to the tribute page.

        If your family is affected by this disease and need some advice or just to talk, please email me at projectemptyhanger@mail2me.com, and put 'Alzheimers' in the subject line.

Books 

I have several books in production at bookemon.com I currently have two that are available for purchase (and read for free online) They are: 'Wired from the Welfare Line' and 'Stepping on Life's Cracks'. A third, 'Raymond's Window' is currently being developed.

Thanks 

Elaine, for all your help and support to 'The Empty Hanger'

Staff and Admin of Aidpage for your support

What's next?

I am not accepting requests for help at the present time, but if you need advice on anything, please message me here or at my email  projectemptyhanger@mail2me.com. Or, just say hi!

Hi, anyone gotten a miracle lately?

Even the smallest ones might encourage someone else!

I need help paying a medical bill.

I've never done anything like this before and I'm a little nervous but I need all the help I can get right now.

My baby got really sick a couple years and at the same time my husband got laid off from his job of 4 years due to the weather.  We were already living check to check so it was only a short period of time before we ran out of money and got evicted from our home.   We're a family of 5, our oldest was 5 years old at the time, and we ended up homeless for 8 months.

In that period of time of being homeless, we were in a car accident and my leg got broken.  I went to the ER and was treated there and almost two months later I got the first bill.  I wrote them back and explained the situation and asked if there was anything we could do to work together to pay the bill and they told me no, it had to be paid in 3 payments (which was $800 per payment) or paid in full.  So I said there was nothing I could do, I don't have ANY money (which was the honest truth).

Then a few months later I got a letter from an attorney who said they were going to sue me for the money.  So I called them and the lady I spoke with told me I was pathetic and if I couldn't pay the bill and new I couldn't pay it then I had no right to go to the doctor in the first place.  They said they wouldn't accept any form of payments that the account had to made in full.  I ended up hanging up on her and cried my eyes out.

I have sent them letters after letter stating that I have recently moved into a home and am looking for a job and as soon as I begin working I would pay them their money.  This was 3 months ago and I haven't heard anything from them until today when I got another threatening letter from them saying they felt they now had no choice but to sue me for the funds and if the account wasn't paid in full in 30 days they'd take legal action.

I have no money!!   It's not like I have a huge savings that I just don't want to touch, I really don't have any money.  I live in a bad neighborhood, in an absolutely disgusting house (with no central heat or a/c).  We burn a lot of candles cause they are cheaper than electricity.  I receive food stamps and WIC and my kids are on Medicaid but this state doesn't offer any assistance for medical or bills to adults.  My husband works 10 hours a day, 6 days a week and a lot of holidays and we make just enough to pay rent and what little utilities we have.  We don't have a vehicle anymore because of the accident.  I just don't have any money.

If they garnish my husband wages, we'll be homeless again.  Like I said, he brings home just enough to pay our rent and utilities.  If they take his wages we can't pay our rent or utilities anymore.

I know I owe this money, even if some of the charges are outrageously high, but I just don't have any money to pay them!!!  How am I supposed to pay them if I don't have any money to give them?  Can anyone help me?

Housing Assistance Money

I am trying to find out how to get a grant to assist me in paying off my debts and also to get me into a house.I do not want to make this a long story so to the point "I NEED MONEY"  or I am going to wind up losing my children.PLEASE help me find a grant or two. thank you

All I want to do is lessen the burden of my tuition on my parents.
    I an the oldest in a lower income family.  I attend Concordia University in Seward, NE.  My family moved two years ago.  My dad owns his own business, and since the move he has not been successful in establishing his business.  My mom has taken a pay cut of over half of what she was making.  Our family income, which was up over $40,000 is now less than $20,000.  Because of this drastic difference, my family is having trouble paying bills let alone, a child in college.
    Concordia University is a private Christian (LCMS) school and with being a private school. the tuition is much more expensive.  Choosing to attend CUNE, was one of the greatest decisions of my life.  My parents are trying their best to support me, but because of my college choices, it is difficult.  All I would like to do is lessen the burden of my tuition on my parents. 
    I get a little financial aid from my school, but it is not near enough to close the gap we have to pay.  We filled out the FAFSA and it said that we could afford less than $500.00 to my higher education.  My school's tuition/room/board is just under $23,000.00.  I have received, at the most, $10,000.00 in scholarships, loans, and grants.  That leaves at least $12,500 difference that my family has to come up with each year so that I can continue my education.
    I plan to become a teacher. 
I want to become certified as a Lutheran teacher (that is why I chose CUNE). I am double-emphasizing within my education major.  Double-emphasizing means that I can teach more than one thing within the elementary school system.  My first emphasis is Physical Education (PE) and my second is Early Childhood Education.  Both areas are in need of teachers.
I need money to help pay the rent.

I am a 31 year old who just moved my entire family more than 2000 miles to support my wife and her job. I have 2 children, a 7 yr old boy and a 3 yr old girl. They both have birthdays coming in less than a month. We have run into so many hidden money drains that we never saw coming. We have many other bills and start-up fees to pay just to try and get comfortable. We cannot even cash my wifes paycheck because the bank must hold it for 10 days!

Any help would be appreciated. We were so sure we could make this work, and it looked good on paper, but it seems like now we get the run-around everywhere we turn for help or even understanding. I can't even get my own job because of the hours my wife needs to devote to her job. We are feeling stuck, and haven't found the light yet. Thank You for any attention you could give us. I am not sure if we can continue to live here very long, and the next step would be the streets.

I pledge 100% of everything for advice

I will pledge 100% of what I have to give, regardless of pledges, to whomever can use it but since this is a pledge I think I have to handle it this way. I have to pledge the following - toys (dollar store toys but have been loved and cared for), clothing in sizes 3/4 little girls and several sizes large boys (again, not fancy or expensive brands but clean and warm) and time to volunteer to send letters, cards etc. to people who would enjoy them for the holiday. I also pledge my friendship, prayers and a listening ear to whoever is in need of it. What I ask you to pledge is this......Advice. If you have no advice to pledge, please pledge the same to someone else who needs it. Your friendship, prayers, kind words of encouragement and support can mean more than any material things to someone in need.

My name is Tina. I have two children Macy age six (seven in another week) and Jared age fifteen. I have recently been forced from my job to stay at home and care for my daughter which has cerebral palsy. This was sudden and unexpected and has put me in a hardship for the holidays. It has also put me in a severe hardship with my home and bills. I desperatly need to find legitimate work from home in time to take care of christmas for my children. I have already been scammed once with assembling at home work and can't seem to find anything that is truly legitimate. I am at the end of my rope and heading for a breakdown.

I am not some lazy person who has sat back and waited for a job to come to me. I have searched since the day I was forced to leave my job of three years but it seems that everything that I find either requires some huge investment or is a scam. I am a payment away from losing my home if I do not find something soon. Not to mention christmas coming up and I am barely hanging on to my utilities. I have no money for christmas so I certainly can't afford a big investment into something. I just really need some advice on legitamate work at home opps. I don't expect to find something that requires no investment as much as I wish but looking to find something with very little investment if possible. When I say little, I honestly mean very little money. I mean something that would cost less than a water bill because I would be taking my water bill funds to invest in hopes of earning it back before they cut me off.

I am simply in desperate need to find some kind of work in time to buy my kids christmas presents and items for the holidays. I am a hard worker, reliable and determined so I will work to my fullest potential. I just need something I can trust and make a living to avoid me losing our home. Also, I do not mean to sound greedy or selfish in asking about the following because I know my problems fail in comparison to many but I have really just hit rock bottom all at once it seems and don't know what to do. I seen something on the site regarding grants for home repairs and can't seem to find it anymore. I am in desperate need of het in my home and flooring (carpet, linolium anything that will insulate the house so it is not so cold). We got this house when I was still able to work (we needed a place badly) and had intended on fixing it up but with my sitution, I am not going to be able to do anything anytime soon and with winter coming, we are going to be in trouble with no heat. When we got our home, it had only plywood on the living room and kitchen floors where it had been water damaged and had not been fixed. I have looked for remnants of carpet or linolium to put down until I was able to afford to fix it but have had no luck. I can use stack heaters but will likely not be able to afford the utility bill they will run up.

I beleive the grant was government and the way I feel is, I have paid taxes and although a simple thank you from the good ole GOV would have been nice lol.....am desperatly in need of repair to get heat. If anyone can give me some advice or knows anything about these grants please let me know. I am praying it is not a long process because it is getting cold here the last few days.

Now for my pledge....I pledge any of the things I have to give above for any advice I can get on the things mentioned above. If you need any of these, contact me and it's yours. I can't afford to ship anything but the cards and maybe a lite something but I will help you find a way to get it shipped. God knows I would cover it if I could but I am living by borrowing from my utilities now and that doesn't leave much. Please just let me know if you need any of it and we will find a way. I just really appreciate any input. Thank U

I appreciate this site, everyone involved with it and everything it represents. God bless every one of you and have a blessed holiday

Homemaker Mommy Work at home
Jacksboro, Tennessee, USA

My name is Tina. I am a mommy to Macy six years old and Jared fifteen years old. I am a new stay at home, work from home Mom. I enjoy movies, music, reading, relaxing and most of all spending time with my kids. My little girl has cerebral palsy so I also enjoy working with charities that benefit children like her. The Shriner's have been a blessing to all of us. There work is really close to my heart. I no longer have a lot of time to do anything hands on with any orgs but when I can, I try to help with causes such as these.

I am so pleased to have found a group such as this and appreciate you taking the time to read and get to know more about me. I sincerely appreciate all who take the time to try and help others. I have had some very discouraging and even devestating times in my life and found it very difficult to find the support that I needed. We have lost our home and all our possesions to a fire a few years back. We have had many heartwrenching health problems with my little girl and have been drowned with tragedy after tragedy. During these times, I have needed so much support and I mean emotionally, financially and in my daughter's case physically and have had nowhere to turn.

From what I am understanding only the few moments on this site, this is a place to not only meet people who have been in similar situations, receive advice and resources to find the support you need but to build friendships and have emotional support with people who truly care. This means more to many of us than you can imagine. Being limited to the house more than normal for me has been hard. During this time I have not had one friend to interact with that understands my situation and I can honestly say that it has been the lonliest and most desperate point in my life. There has been more tears than happiness in my life and I have had noone with which to talk to. When you are in this situation, a simple act of listening and sharing words of encouragement mean so much. I am so glad to see that there are still people who care for others out there.

I am ready to meet anyone needing a friend to talk to or to share your problems with. If you ever need someone who understands and does not judge, please contact me. I don't have much in the way to help but I do have a good heart and a willing ear lol 

Thanks to everyone who is involved with this site. I know it may not seem like it sometimes but you are making a big difference in the lives of others. Please let me know how I can help. 

 

I also desperatly need some advice on finding some resources. I ended up having to leave my job of three years to stay home and care for my daughter. She was getting injured at school and it was so bad and often that I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to homeschool her. Our school system is ridiculous here and isn't very helpful to kids with physical limitations. It has been blamed on funding. Anyway, with me suddenly out of work and holidays coming, I am desperatly in need of ligitemate home employment. I need something that I will be able to make money before the holidays or christmas is not going to be very bright for my kids. I was just scammed out of what little monies I had left with the assemble at home scam so please none of those. I am not a lazy bum that is just sitting back expecting a job to come to me. I have honestly been searching since the day I was forced to my home. I am a very hard worker, am reliable and will do anything that is moral and legal lol I am at my wits end. I feel like I am heading for a breakdown and need any advice on this I can get.

I have come to the realization that you have to be very careful what you invest in when it comes to the work at home business. I need something real and as bad as it sounds, I need something with almost no financial investment. I am not expecting to be able to find something with no investment as bad as I wish but I mean I have nothing to spare. My investment would be my water bill funds but I'm hoping to find something to make it back. I am being totally honest when I say, I am living on faith at the moment. I am one payment away from losing my home if I do not find something by the new year. My home of course is more important and I know this might sound bad but I'm sure you can understand that I am more concerned with christmas, because it is just around the corner. I still have enough time to work on the house.

If anyone has any knowledge of work at home opps or has any advice that may help contact me as soon as possible. I am at the end of my rope here. Please say a prayer for us 

 Happy holidays  Thank U

 

HELP! Very Suddenly Widowed 34yr Old - I feel like I'm losing EVERYTHING I've ever had.

Hi - I am a 34 yr old female and I just lost my husband of 12 years on Jan 19th suddenly - We took him to the Hospital on December 20th and they told us he had Bronchitis 4 weeks later I was signing documentation to turn off life support because my husband had suffered sever heart failure and organ damage due to 2 weeks of internal bleeding.  I have two children one is my late husbands biological son and they other is a stepchild that he always treated and raised as his own. 

I dont work, my husband was the sole supporter in the household - I am unable to work at this time as I suffer from narcolepsy which sometimes is very severe to the point I have 5-6 episodes per day and somedays none.  I dont qualify for disability as the SS administration doesnt feel it's debilitating enough.  I also suffer from vertigo and often fall down.  I feel like I took my husband for granted as I never realized until he was gone just how much he did for me and the kids,  I Loved him more than anything in the world because he always accepted me as I was and never tried to change me in anyway.  I will always love him! 

We have no medical insurance so I also cannot continually go to a doctor to address my illnesses like I would like to do and the local health department wont even address the narcolepsy or vertigo issues whatsoever.

My husband had a small life insurance policy but his mother is the named beneficiary and she has voice her opinion of what she thinks of me and she blames me for his death so I nor our son will ever see a dime of that.  I couldnt even afford funeral arrangements in fact his body is still being stored at $35.00 per day at the local crematory.  Everyone is angry with me because I decided not to have any services and they feel like I'm being disrespectful to his memory, but I cannot go through the extended grief of services nor can I afford anything as like I said I cant even afford to complete the funeral arrangements just yet.  My husband and I had NO friends only a few acquaintences that only came around when they needed something fixed by my husband.  Not one person has come to the house or called since his death.  We were each other's ONLY friends. so I also did not see the point in having services for that matter.  My children and I want to celebrate his life and the time we shared as a family in our own private way.

I cannot even file for disability death benefits as of yet as I need the final death certificate in order to do so which the medical examiner/pathologist told me will be 6-8 weeks so I'm stuck in limbo for almost 2 months not knowing where to turn.  Also I cannot get any state benefits until I prove he is no longer alive which also requires that same death certificate.

I was not prepared for this in anyway, nor did I ever think I would need to "start over" again.  I was happy and in a comfortable marriage which was very loving in everyway.  Now I feel like I've lost my husband, my love, my best friend, my partner, father of my children, my heart and I now have to worry I'm going to lose my home and anything else I may have since I have no income.  When he died we had $70.00 in the bank which is now gone.

I wish I could walk in to a prospective employer and give them all my circumstances and not have them just look at me like I'm crazy for even expecting they would possibly hire me with all my "baggage".  I feel so damaged and lost like I have noone and soon nowhere to turn to.  My phone rang about 50 times today from people all wanting money from me for the household bills, personal bills, and now over $100k in medical bills by the time I add it all together.  I just cant handle it, there has to be some hope.  My groceries will soon run out as well I most likely have enough for about another week and that's it.  My electric will be due in about a week, along w/ my car insurance which if I dont pay then they will suspend my license pending a $250.00 reinstatement fee along w/ proof of valid insurance to restore my priveleges.

Can anyone possibly help me in anyway, please!

I'm gladly able to work from home as then I can deal w/ the sudden need to sleep issues and the dizzy spells but I have yet to find any legitimate opportunities as everything seems like it's a scam and now my email in box is flooded w/ thousands of emails per day from all these companies that want me to send them money I dont have so they can screw me over.  I'm an excellent typist (over 100wpm) I know computers, software, etc.... extremely well but like I said I just havnt been able to get my foot in any doors as of yet as it's my conditions that hinder me and why should they hire someone w/ health issues that can only work a certain set hours over someone that is more flexible and is healthy.

Again Please Help me!

I am simply one mommy in the world that wants herself and her family to make a difference for others through sharing Christ.  We have been so blessed to have a home, clothes, & food.  So many people are  not as fortunate.  I think that it is important that we help each other when we can and pass it on to someone else.

I now work from home and my husband will be able to quit his job and work with me sometime next year.  I am so thankful for that, as he is a welder and it really bothers his asthma.  I have also been able to show my mom and others how to do the same thing so that they can earn a very comfortable living from their home with only a computer & a phone.  My team is one of the fastest growing in the company and we are changing peoples lives.

I am the father of four young children, and my wife is recently disabled.  I am sinking into the ground and about to loose everything I have.  We need help.

Single Mother With Children's Birthdays Coming Soon

Hi all,

I'm not sure how this page works, but I found this by searching online because I am extremely desperate at the moment. I am a single mother of two beautiful daughters, age 3 & 8 (soon to be 9 & 4) in the next couple of months. I am a full time student, so right now I have no time to work. I am completely broke being a student. Federal funds only pay me $292 a month. I am about to lose my home, I just got the first decent running car of my life & someone wrecked it while it was parked on the street. Ugh, liability insurance of course so no way to fix my car. My daughters' birthdays are August 8th & September 8th. School is coming up and my oldest will be in 3rd grade (I can't believe she's growing so fast) and my baby will be starting Head Start (I'm going to miss her). I have no money for the birthdays, school supplies, to fix my car, for bills, I can't remember the last time I bought anything for myself. I just want my daughters to have a decent birthday, decent school clothes and supplies, and I want to catch up on my bills, and fix my car. I hate asking for money, it can be so degrading sometimes as a single parent. You want to provide a certain life for your kids and just cannot sometimes. Very hard to swallow as a parent of any kind I'm sure. The amount I'm asking for may seem large, but compared to what needs to be taken care of soon on my end, I won't have any left over for pleasure. Anything will help though, absolutely any amount at this point. I'm not sure how this site works, but I'm so glad I found it, and thank you so much in advance if anyone wants to lend a helping hand to me and my children. I will be forever grateful! Have a blessed day everyone, and good luck to everyone else on this page that is seeking help. I know how hard it is to even ask.

The amount I have come up with to help fix my car, my daughters' birthdays, bills, and school clothes/supplies is (embarrassed to type it) $7,000. I hate to put down that amount because it looks HUGE on here, but trust me, it will all be used for necessities. Thank you again so much.

I am a mother of three wonderful children!

"The past is the past, we can not change it, it can not be removed, however the future is for us to change, improve, forget and forgive and live in peace. And if any moment you change the focus from yourself to humanity, to others, you will understand how small your problems are and your eyes will open and you will discover a new world out there, full of suffering, and in great need for help and prayers. Self-centered people are blind, selfish, and that is going away from God. Jesus is suppose to be the focus, and the rest will come...compassion, mercy, love...etc. Self is abandoning God, if we are so important, then there is no need for God, not room for God!" A quote from a very wise and loving woman! My mom!

If  there is no 'need' for God, not 'room' for God, then our world, lives would be hell! Yes, we go through tough times, but we get back on our feet and learn from everything, and then use it to help others!

 

I will be starting a non-profit organization to help single parents and struggling families in my area. I'm just starting to put things together and still thinking of everything I can offer. Through all my struggles, I have discovered that so many people struggle and do not know where to go for help. Something happens, and their lives change and they just don't know what else to do. So many don't even know how to fill out the papers, I will have everything together for them, I will go with them, get it for them, if they need something I will go around and find it for them through the help of our community and churches, etc. I will also start taking donations for those that need help for small things. Things like that. You have any other ideas? Something you needed help with at one point?

God Bless

Non-Profit Hunger Initiative Seeking Funds to Provide Chemical-Free Organic Foods to the Needy

Recently-established tax-exempt charitable organization seeks funding to holistically address hunger and health problems. 

Description and Mission: 

The Legacy Health Foundation is a progressive health and hunger initiative that strives to combat hunger in a new way -- holistically addressing the growing interrelated problems of hunger, malnutrition, and chronic illness. We believe that feeding the hungry alone is only a short-term solution.

Food products typically provided by hunger organizations that serve the needy, due to cost constraints, are often inexpensive, contain many toxic additives, and have little nutritional value.  Many people are unaware of the multitude of harmful chemicals present in our food supply, and the significant negative impact they can have on human health.  When individuals are contaminated with toxins that can trigger disease, and are weak, malnourished, and unable to fight disease due to the lack of nutrients present in most foods, it can become very difficult to recover or maintain a state of good health and function as productive members of society. 

For this reason, our goal is to promote awareness and avoidance of disease-causing toxins in our food and environment, and to provide healthier choices for those who need it the most and are typically the least able to afford it, including access to organic chemical-free foods and natural healing products and services.

The need for the types of products and services that the Legacy Health Foundation uniquely provides is great, and continues to grow.  Therefore, your tax-deductible donation is critical to helping us accomplish our mission, and is greatly appreciated!  You can also purchase natural health treatments and other products on our web site, and all of the profits will go directly to helping the needy through one of our programs.  Please visit our web site to learn more about our mission and how you can help at http://www.legacyhealthfoundation.org

Looking For Help For Income,Critically ill Mom of 4 children Looking for honest work at home,
North Carolina, USA
Languages: ENGLISH

I am a mother of 4 and critically ill with having well over 45 + face & Brain surgery's, not to mention all  the other surgery's and medical problems due to complications,
   The reason I am writing you is because I'm need some "Personalized" help in seeking a way That I can bring in a income to my family, I want to teach my children that it does not matter the situation that you keep on trying, I want to do Honest work at home that has no start up fees. I only get $350,00 a MT disability and no other help, So I need to find a job that I can work at home,.I have always ran my own company's . I had my own practice in Sports Medicine before I got sick then I use my Knowledge  in Homeopathic Medicine, To make Herbal scent moist heat packs and eye pillow, I made natural Soaps and Body Oils, and I even Made whole made Chocolates. My 4 children as well as myself would take it the flee market every weekend and sell what we had made all week. Around that time is when all the brain surgery's  started and 18 hrs a day of Intravenous medication, It was bit difficult hauling 4 children all my product and walking with in Iv tubes coming out my chest, what a site that was "lol" we managed for a while sadly the demand for he product became to great for me to make all by myself everyday in my kitchen,
  That started me studying gemstones after brain surgery, I spent 2 years studying gemstones, I did sell high end jewelry on Ebay , but  During a move we were robbed. "long story"  they stole Everything we owned I do mean everything and the insurance did not cover excuse they found a loop hole as usual. Now I have no other income, Please Know that I'm not a Victim I am a Survivor & I am very blessed I have the privilege to be with my children as they grow up when they said I would not live this long "what do they know" "lol". 
    I have learned many life lessons, I can't do much physically now but I do some kind of craft everyday with the younger children,We have done so many different craft. We draw paint, do clay, the favorite is making Jewelry but that is a treat because the pretty crystals are expensive, I can work on the Computer,
   I know the end and out of a how to run a company to having happy personal , they will do a better job, To satisfying the Hardest to Please customer, I keep my self up to date learning and studying the newest trend to the next big craft, I know how to do Advertising, I like being very creative, I know how to do import and export, In my journey, I have been blessed to learn many Life lesson along the way. I have been on the Top and I have been on the bottom. I will not give up and I will not ask for sympathy, I'm not different than anyone else, I just have a few Challenge but don't we all. The reason I won't sell on Ebay, Is because the market has changed and the fees are to high, There only a few ways to make money on Ebay now, One is to be a Huge company that is able to import the inventory, Or to lye, If I can't do it honest It's not happen.
       Oh my I can't believe I just told everyone all this, I guess it because I know if there an opportunity for me to become part of your team I would fill honored and privileged,
   Thank you for what you do and if you have any ideas, Please pass them my way.
        May you be Blessed 10 fold.
             Best Regards

little lamb ministries
harrisonburg, Virginia, USA
Languages: english

Hi people,

My name is Wanda and i am a single mother of two. My oldest is my son Casey who is 22, my youngest is my daughter Sarah and she is 11. For the longest time i would sit around and watch the children in the apartment complex where we live just wander around at all hours of the day and night during summer time and even during the school year. For awhile i watched with such a tug on my heart to do something to stop the fighting amongst the children and to somehow touch their lives so they could see that someone really cared and loved them. So i started "littlest lamb ministries". What we do is during the summer months we get together in the complex with the kids and we do arts and crafts and have fun days and picnics and just fun activities that bring the different children that just happen to live all in the same complex together. We cross over race, age and poverty levels to try and touch the hearts of these kids. But it is always such a hard task getting people in the area to donate arts and crafts products or money or food or anything for that fact. So i'm reaching out through the use of my computer hoping to touch others who have a heart for the children BUT don't necessarily have the time to make a difference but maybe do have funds that they could sow into this ministry which in turn sows into each child. So God is giving you a chance to make a difference in one way or another..If you can donate arts and crafts items that would be great..money can always be used and know that you will be helping to show a child someone really does care.
