Found this site looking around for payday loans and hitting begslist and the like. Hating that I'm hitting up strangers but hating that I'm in danger of losing everything more. Pretty common, these are times stuff. I was fine am now underemployed and in a hole that's getting deeper. I'm a student and doing well there. I'm a girlfriend. That's also great... My friends are terrific. So's my family though very, very far away... weird how lonely one can become regardless of being surrounded by folks when the inner sanctum, those nearest and most knowledgeable of your heart are inaccessible. Anyway, I came across this site while sifting through the links that desperation and need bring to the screen (Oh Montel, really?) and thought, "huh, that seems more symbiotic, I'll sign up. Maybe I'll find help but also maybe I'll be able to help..." .
So there you go. I need money and work and paper towels and laundry detergent and cat food and human food... But maybe you need a good laugh or a shoulder or an editor or a stove-pipe confidante. Maybe some of my life experiences can make yours easier or better or less potent or more... And maybe I can get some better perspective and a little less fear. Who knows? But I'm curious to find out.

Overview - Become a BellaOnline Editor

My husband and I have been looking for work for over 6 months now. I prepared taxes during the tax season and was given a bonus at the end of the season that kept us alive for another month or two. But we have tapped out all our credit cards and borrowed as much from family and friends as we can. We have also sold a bunch of our stuff on ebay. 

Please understand, we have not just looked for work; we've also looked for ways to make money via side businesses. We are determined to make a sustainable living, but we have encountered some roadblocks on the way. Within a two year period, we were robbed of most of our belongings and we had a business deal go sour that left us homeless for a short period of time and cost us a lot of time and money in legal struggles.

I've made a small amount of money in the past year editing books, articles and papers. I find that I especially like book editing and have a small website up right now that has attracted some clients and potential clients.  I've not done any marketing to date, other than establishing a relationship with one self-publishing company and putting up a website on another editing service. Today, I just discovered a place where I can advertise my services for free to over a million people a month worldwide. I only need to win a few clients in order to make ends meet. I wish I had discovered this website six months ago because I could have been promoting my side business and making money by now. But I believe things happen in their own time.

Here is my dilemma. I think that a couple of months of setting up a better website, setting up a storefront on the above mentioned website and promoting my services both locally and in cyberspace will lead to enough work to make ends meet and dig us out of the hole. If I can make a living at this, I believe my husband's business will be able to grow and we will have a good long-term outlook.

But the short-term is grim. We have about $100 left and we are now behind on bills. In nine days we will need to have about $900 to cover bills, including rent, but not including food or gasoline. Fifteen days after that we will need another $700 plus food & gasoline. We really need about $1900 a month in order to meet our obligations, which for two people isn't a lot. We will need more than that eventually to dig ourselves out of the hole, but right now I'm just concerned to survive until something gives.

I'm looking for help in the short-short term -- help to make it through August's rent. Appoximately $2000-$3000.

There are several ways that could happen:

1. We've been trying to sell our 1993 van, but with little success. We've advertised in local paper and auto trader and free classifieds.  With a couple of repairs, we actually could auction it locally. That would mean an investment that we do not have plus, according to the auctions website, up to 8 weeks before the auction would yeild payment. The auction house sets a reserve. If someone could lend me the amount of the reserve less the auction fees, I would pay that back when the van sells. Of course, if some other windfall occurred, I would be happy to pay back sooner. 
   
2. If you like to buy the van, we can talk about that as well. I live in Nevada and am willing to drive the van to California, Arizona or Utah to deliver it to someone. Otherwise, we could discuss shipping.
   
3. Maybe someone out there has a book, a manual, a dissertation, or some other editing project(s) that I could complete over the summer. I'd be willing to discount my prices considerably in order to have short-term money.
   
4. I have considerable experience as a bookkeeper, especially setting up books on computer or setting up new business books. If you have such a project, I'd be happy to talk with you about rates.
   
5. Maybe someone would like to talk to me about investing in my business. I plan to specialize in helping businesses or entrepreneurs self-publish a book or books to enhance their reputations and market shares. I'd be happy to share my business plan with anyone who'd consider microinvesting in my business.

I am open to any ideas on what to do. My husband and I have survived some bad blows in the last couple of  years as a result of setting some boundaries with family and business relationships. We are going to make it. I believe in us, but I also believe in the power of community and I was happy to find this site.

In addition to paying back a loan or providing the best service I know how to someone who might help, I also pledge to "pay it forward." I am strong believer in the power of human interaction and human networking. I won't drop the ball.

Thank you for your time and your consideration.

i recently (about 4 1/2 months ago) got back on my feet after a devistating set-back.  i worked for the past 6 years to start my own company.  i was doing really well last year, but it all came to a stop when i got jumped, stabbed and robbed of my work equipment by some drug addicts.  i was homeless for 7 months afterwards, because my landlord decided to sell my house, and i had nowhere to go and i couldn't work after the attack.  i have a degree in a field that is very hard to find work in, so without my editing gear, i wasn't able to find a job for a long time.  i found a short term job, and got enough money together to get an apartment, and get back on track.  that job ended, and i've been trying my hardest to find a job till this one starts up again (it'll start in Jan), but have had no luck. 

long story short, this month i'm $345 short on my rent.  on the 15th, if i don't pay, i'm back to being homeless, and i'm scared, cause last time i almost didn't survive it.  i don't have any friends or family that can help me (my only friend is poor, and my only family is my gramps, who i take care of), so i really can't turn to anyone.  if anyone can help me out, i'm really scared, and i don't know what to do.  i've sold everything i can, and i don't waste my money on anything unessisary (i don't even buy stuff i need, like a pair of shoes with no holes in them)... i'm responsible, i just can't recover from such a huge set-back without help.

i'm not gonna lie... i need some help.  but i don't intend to be like this forever.  i very responsible, and very giving, i just had a set-back (robbery).  there were times where i felt like giving up, but i survived it, and although i'm not out of the dark yet, i feel i've passed the hardest part.

i'm still living paycheck to paycheck (which is bad, cause there is no paycheck coming this month... it's off season for me), but at least i have an apartment.  no bed yet... but i don't care.  sleeping on a pile of blankets is the most comfy thing in the world after going 7 months of being afraid to sleep at all out of fear because you were in an unsafe place.

i want to let people know: if you have a place to live, nothing can be that bad.  so you can't afford to buy your spouse a gift... make them one.  so your car breaks down... ride a bike, take the bus, carpool.  so you're stuck eating raumen noodles... get creative inventing soups!  all i'm saying is nothing NOTHING can compair to the feeling of safty.  it took me a long time to realize this... and losing everything i had.  now... i don't have anything exciting (no tv, no stereo, no fancy clothes, no jewelry, no bed, no car) but i am so happy to have a place where i can lock the door.  where i know i'm safe.  don't worry so much about what you put in it... just keep your family and yourself safe.
