Cyber Begging

I'm also totally new to this idea. I mean, I run some websites and blogs that have dontation buttons- so that if someone is really getting something out of my writing and wants to help me keep doing these projects they can....but that's a little different. I'm not so into begging anyone for anything, it can lead to so many crashed hopes and strain in relationships... but then again, there are lot' of times I've helped others just for the joy of being able to do that. I'm sure I'm not the only person in the wold who has done that. Sometimes it just embarasses me to admit that I'm on the other side of the wheel of fortune right now, and don't know wher to come up with the resourrces I really need.

It's also hard for me, because I'm not a very money oriented person- but it's usually necssary to accomplish any goal; unless you luck into a serindipitious miracle. For instance, to effectively get out of here and move back to New Orleans, I'm going to need a vehicle- and on that will run will enough to drive 3,015 miles. Now, I have gotten a car free from a friends a cuple of times in my life, and have done the same- but that rarely happens. Usually you need a wad of cash and a newspaper...especially it you don't have credit.

So, while reaserching for my resource exchange network site ( http://www.poor-folks-helping-poor-folks.webs.com ) I read an article that mentioned cyber begging, and thought I'd look into it. I mean, I've tried everything else, why not?

The first service I signed up for required a fee, and I don't have the fiften bucks...though it may be totally legit. I found a differet one called beglist, which I posted on. You can check out my post and their site here:

About NovaStar

My husband and I married nearly 2 years ago. My son had moved here to Missouri with me from Ohio. He had gone back to visit friends, and now wishes to stay there. He is in dire need of his personal belongings (furniture, computer, etc..especially his computer, as he does web designs)so that he may begin a new life, finding a job, starting school and gaining independence.. I need help in assisting him with shipment of these things as we have little money for even groceries. As I said, my husband and I married 2 years ago.in that time he had a quadruple bypass and lost his job and insurance. He and I are both working, but presently he is working 2 jobs. With the extra job, we are spending more in cost to get to work than we have. Essentially, my job pays for his ability to work. However, our only form of transportation is about to phase out.....we have a 96 vehicle that has multiple electrical shorts, lack of a catalitic converter..we need to unhook the battery after we are done driving due to the lights staying on.

My husband and I are good christian people who believe in helping others and ourselves. Unfortunately, monetarily we have not been able to help others but will again when the trials we are facing lifts. We may need to move to another town where his 2nd job is located if that leads to full-time. We had just spent 375.00 last november moving to this small town for better access to both areas. We really wish to help ourselves but are financially strapped and unable to repair our car which is needed to go to work. It is a shame that with his 2 jobs, and my one job, we barely have enough for groceries.....we buy day to to day on what we can afford due to the high cost of gasoline. Any help or suggestions I would appreciate. I have tried all agencies that unfortunately could not help us. Is there anyplace that is willing to help with vehicles, relocation fees, emergency funding..to those that don't qualify for state funding or national organizations? We know that we are in a temporary situation, but if we don't receive some help then we will be in a situation we cannot get free from. Thank you to all who are reading this. May God guide you and strengthen you.

2nd Chance at Responsible Living

I would like to buy a boat to live on and move to North Carolina and start a jewelry business. My interest is mainly working with crystals and washed up beach items. This has been my dream.  I use to have good jobs, doing administrative work until I was diagnosed with severe depression borderline bi-polar. After years of adjusting to medication, I have finally found a Dr. that prescribed right. However, my life has changed, I am much more spiritual, and would rather live/work in a natural setting while at the same time helping people (don't know yet how).

Mortgage and Medical Needs

I am a 54 year old woman with Multiple Sclerosis who was working full-time until two weeks ago.  I am experiencing numbness throughout 2/3 of my body and have had to go on disability from work.  Steroid therapy has not helped at all.  I am afraid that I may not be able to return to work.  I carry the payments for the mortgage and healthcare for my family.  If I can't work we stand the chance of loosing the house and the healthcare.  I need help with getting to work and a way to be able to move around.

Another concern of mine is getting the devices needed to be able to function in my home.  The laundry center is in the basement and I cannot access it at all.  Climbing the steps to the front door is very difficult as well.

If anyone can help with these needs, I would truly appreciate it.
