Hi! I'm a substitute teacher for Ft Bend ISD (just outside Houston, Tx). I need help (about $200) to help get my phone reconnected and keep it on until I get my 1st paycheck of the school year (mid Sept).  Us subs in Texas do not get paid during the summer. I was planning on tutoring all summer, but both tutoring assignments I had, before I left for the Kerrville folk festival, fell thru while i was at the festival. Nothing has come thru since. I have been without any income at all all summer long(since May 25th). I am 2 1/2 months behind on my rent, too, but at least my landlord isnt harrassing me about it. He knows I'm trying my darnestest to resolve the situation. I can get help for rent from local social service organizations, but all of the social service organiziations think having a phone is a "luxury". Not for me! I need a phone so I can get my substitute teaching assignments! NO PHONE, NO WORK!!! My lights are taken care of (w/help from one social service agency). I am also getting food from food stamps and from a food pantry. The biggest issue now is getting this phone reconnected and I gotta do it by Aug 20th, 2007. if you can help, please email me at cydwrightkerrvert1@juno.com. I'm checking email messages from the Worksource office and from the public library, since i can't use my own home computer w/out phone service.I am willing to barter tutoring services or petsitting services in exchange for help w/ my phone. Thanx!

My car broke down and I've been missing work because I can't get a ride.  I am a single mother and have a child to support.  I would really appreciate some help.  I also have a jewelry site if you want to buy some jewelry to help me.  This way you would get something in return for your help.  I am not using this for advertisement.  Its just an idea.  Im a substitute teacher, and I get food-stamps but it always runs out in the middle of the month.  Please consider helping me.  My jewelry site is:http:www.livedeal.com/browse?user=heavensongsjewelryandmore   or I can make fudge for you.  Thank you for your time and I hope you will consider helping me. I'm a female and I am 55 years old.  I just had to spend$575 on my car.  Its suppose to be done tomarrow.
