Aidpage

I wonder how many people have actually been helped by posting on this site. Are we just a bunch of people that are being used for research for some persons' thesis paper or a government grant? AND, if someone gets helped then so much more encouragement for the cause.

I get notices that I have an email if I don't log into the site for a while. This is to get me to log onto the site again. Wow, another hit for the purpose.

Where are the instructions for canceling our accounts?

I am happy to say that I have found a generous young man that is willing to lend me his digital camera so that I can take photos of my paintings.  This can be life changing for me. I am almost where I need to be.

I am in need of $100 to help pay for membership in a consignment shop. I will need some more acrylic paints, canvas, and CDs. My paint brushes are wearing out, also. I know that times are difficult. If anyone can help me by donating $200 toward my career then it will be greatly appreciated. If you don't have $200 to donate then smaller bills toward my goal will be helpful.

I want to thank all of the replies to my post. I tried all of them before I created a post to Aidpage. I have come to know that there are some people that the world denies. They have to fight for every little crumb that they get. Other people have opportunities thrown into their lap and they throw them away without thought. I am in the first group. Since my first post, I have built up a portfolio of art. I have sent out two manuscripts for publication. I have completed a book of poetry. I have drawn the layout for a studio/gallery. I will start research for government grants. Failure is not an option for me. It is difficult having nothing to build on but I will keep trying to rebuild my life until I no longer have one. If anyone knows of a gallery that will accept large paintings on consignment (esp. in Ohio) with 20% or less fees then please let me know. Thank you.

Do you have programs in your state that can assist you with morgage payments to keep you in your home. I know that they are available? Some churches offer assistance in payments on back rent or mortgages. Get online and check into it in your area. You can also get help to fill up your gas tank. Look into social security supplimental for your wife. You have a child. Look into benefits that you can receive that will help with clothing and food. It will take a lot of time to research these things but it will be worth it. What you can save on smaller issues can help with bigger things. 

Wishing you the best.
