[quote:Desert Fox:MV8yMDk0OTM1XzM1Mjc1OTQ1X0JFMjNCNDk0] [quote:Salt:MV8yMDk0OTM1XzM1Mjc1Nzk4XzdGQTI5QjZF] [quote:IndigoSerenity76:MV8yMDk0OTM1XzM1Mjc1MTkzX0VDRkQzRTU0] My story is pretty shitty, but I am functioning and I am sure there are people on here who really aren't. As long as my kids are fed, I am okay and they are. I just wanted to say how awesome I think this is. :hf::hf::hf: [/quote] ditto :hf: i think almost everyone is desperate for some financial help these days, as am i. truth is the cost of living has dramatically risen, and sadly, my income has not. i have had to tighten the belt so much that every "extra" i'm used to having had to be done away with. no cell phone, no new clothes/shoes, no dining out, no manicures, no taking my kids to movies, etc. when my husband died, i had to immediately move into a smaller place, and implement a dramatic re-budgeting of our household expenses. isn't easy. but, i am getting the hang of it. the hard part is not having enough money to go out and do things. so, i sit home and make the best of it. i have to carry internet for school and that basically is my only luxury. and i smoked cigarettes (about three a day) and i even cut that out of the scenario. that and soda pop. damn you, obama... anyway... the point is that it is possible to live on half of what you used to have. and it's possible to adapt to having a minimal meager existence for the time being. it's taken me a couple years to adapt, but i think i am getting the hang of it. i think the boredom is the hardest thing since gas money is so costly and i have to keep my monthly gasoline expense at 40 bucks. i am not posting this because i am asking for money, as bad as i need it and as tasty as this offer is. i am posting because EVERYONE has had to tighten the belt, and it can be done. and, actually, it's good for us to learn to not waste, buy only what we use and be very frugal, watch our spending as close as possible. OP, very kind of you to help along with Trin and Brief. you guys are alright in my book. may God richly reward your kindness. [/quote] Salt, I am out of state now but will be back home in January. I don't do electronic $, and I can't PM you back yet till I upgrade, but please PM me with any address that will get to you, I will help at least a little. Just Because. :hf: [/quote]
Original Message
I will give the next three gifts of $333.33. I have sent an email to Trinity informing him. I'd like to find out from Trinity and Brief who has been chosen so we don't duplicate.
I am not doing this for any reason other than I feel compelled to do so and there are more than 6 people who are in need...I sincerely want to help. Please accept this for what it is.
