First of all

First of all, I posted because I am desperate.
I HAVE looked on the internet and local programs.
I DO NOT QUALIFY.
I fill out any forms I can.
I make phone calls and send emails.

About the canned beets and soup that went bad - YOU try eating canned
beets for breakfast lunch and dinner for weeks...

FURTHERMORE - canned goods DO go bad - they have an expiration date like evrything else - I am telling you I opened two cans of soup that were to expire nov 05 (next month) - they smelled putrid - I cooked them anyway - and it smelled worse. Inedible.

I am down to eating a bagel or two a day if I am lucky.

I am tired of canned beets and putrid soup - that is all I have gotten from the food bank.

I am tired physically, mentally and emotionally. It's not worth it.

I am too good for this. To beg. I am too kind and generous when I have had monies. I am too creative with screenwriting and inventing and play drums to waste and wither away.

I've been homeless and am trying to claw my way back up in society.
I WANT to be a taxpayer again.
I hate where I am at - on SS/D - I HATE NOT being able to work like I used to be able to.
I hated having to give up a $40,000 a year job at the county sewerage plant.
I try every day.
BUT, it gets VERY difficult when you have very little if any food, money or medication. Not to mention abcessed teeth.

WWJD?

I have been exactly where you are, I have been homeless twice, and grew up in abject poverty, where during the school year, I at least had my free lunch as my one meal a day, during breaks almost no meals, unless I visited friends.

We did not have running water, a vehicle, or other things that most people take for granted.

Have you tried church food banks? Or community action centers? Your local welfare office usually has a list, and some are also in your phone book. Most of these places will help just because you are on SSD, they will not look at the actual amount of money you get.

I would also look into finding some dentists who will do a payment plan, or who will let you pay on a sliding fee scale, based on your income.

There are times in my life I would have been grateful for putrid soup, and canned beets, and eaten them as if I was at a banquet!

find day jobs then.... cleaning jobs, whatever it takes to turn yourself back around.

You lied - -you said previously your PC and internet access was donated,
now today you're homeless?

How does a homeless person connect to the internet?

Well, if you're too proud and too good to ask for help, WHY should anyone here just mail you cash????????????

We all work too - I personally donate to United Way, the Red Cross, and I donated to Hurricane Katrina relief fund.

Not only am I donated out presently, I also donate where I can have a receipt. Not even for tax purposes....... it's just that I don't like to just hand out my money to every stranger who asks for it!!

READ the words!

I said I WAS homeless, or HAVE BEEN homeless. I am not homeless now.

My emotional state is one that I'd rather pass on the putrid soup and canned beets.

AND, if I COULD work, I WOULD. If I could get my medication, I might be able to get out of my apartment for an hour or two a day.

And, again - if you read the previous posts - you will see that I do get food from food banks - that's where the canned beets and putrid soup came from.

 

[mpac1365]

Not too proud to beg

I am forced to beg. I have no choice at this point.
Of course I'd rather not beg, but, I need help; in alot of ways.
I am tired of not getting help, of not eating or having a life, tired of just wanting to sleep...

 

[mpac1365]

I donated

And, for the record, I, too, donate to the American Cancer Society and I donated to the Katrina fund.
When I could, I have taken people into my home, free of charge for years...
I am glad you donate. I donate, too.
As poor as I am I want to and feel the need to donate.

 

[mpac1365]

Thanks

I want to thank everyone for their kinds words on here and in private messages and emails.

If you're so broke, why are you paying for internet service? Oh I forgot, someone is "donating" that to you.
Take that money and buy your medications then and can the PC (so to speak) --
you can google your financial aid on the computers at the public library.


Take zippysgoddess advice and try your local church. I am sure they did not hand out expired food on purpose as that would be a violation of health laws.

 

[mpac1365]

That's right...

That's right - YOU have all the answers..

YES, the internet service IS paid for - If I could, I WOULD have asked for the money instead...It's not my decision...

And, as for going to the library - it costs money to get there, and, in some cases, costs money to join...

Anything else, genius? Or, are you done portraying your schemes onto other peoples' lives?

It's so easy to say, "Oh, just do this...or just do that", or, "Why don't you..."

Walk in my shoes, with MY disabilities, then tell me what you would do.

WWJD?

 

[mpac1365]

Oh, and...

The food I got from my local church via the food bank (or, vice versa) wasn't expired according to the date stamped on the cans (nov 05) - but, open them up, and they are, or were, expired...

I need a break with a screenwriting agent or with my invention...those are the two things I have to hold onto...they are my future...

You want us to donate a cadillac to YOU??!!!!!!

puh-lease

Good luck on your beggers website

I just need a step up...

I don't want anyone to donate any vehicle to me.
I just need a step up. A helping hand. That's it.
I can do the rest. I have the drive and the willpower
but it is decreasing.

 

[ablessin]

ok what are you going to do in return for the person who gives you this helping hand?

Do you have a home/apartment??

Not for nothing, but there are thousands of displaced families from Katrina- -and probably will be more from Wilma.

I think people are focusing their efforts on those folks - I know I am. I recently donated boxes of kids clothing and toys ...

 

[mpac1365]

When..

I have an apartment.

When I have been in a position to help someone, I have.
I have taken people into my home for years free of charge because they needed it...Now, I am hurting.

I, too, have donated to Katrina victims and other causes...

What will I do in return for anyone helping me?
A) Send Prayers of Thanks for helping make my life better.
B) When I am in a financial position to do so, I will graciously repay.
C) I will use whatever favors I am granted to their fullest extent;
I will not waste your time, efforts or other generosities. I am here for a
reason. I am too creative to waste away. In return I will be a taxpayer
again. Right now I pay no taxes. I want to.
D) When I am in the financial position - whether it be by my Scripts or the Feline Funhouse - I will help others in my position, I will help stray animals, the homeless, and underpriveleged children, among others....I will donate more to The American Cancer Society...

That's what I will do - Lead a better life,
Be a Productive Member of Society,
Be a contributor...
