I've been trying to come up with some ideas or ways that I can make some money. Not for myself, but for a good friend.
She's already in a chapt 13 bankruptcy, but it isn't enough to save her house unless she can catch up on the back payments.
Losing jobs hit both her and her husband hard, he even went out of state to find work. Even though he was successful, the income is less than what he used to make. Meanwhile, my friend has been searching, applying and unfortunately, not getting hired. She's had to resort to babysitting just to get some extra funds.
Like every year I'm donating a bunch of things to local families and to the Salvation Army. But I need to find a way to raise some money for my friend and her family so they will be able to have a better Holiday.
I've already gathered things to give them for Christmas, things for her young son and the two of them. My kids and I helped them to keep their water on by using our salvage/scrapping money. My cousin even added a bit to the total to make sure that they could cover it all.
My friend drives me & my kids to the store, the doctor & where ever I need to go. So I try to do all I can to help her out too. Be it food, clothing or help with a bill.
She's called all over looking for help. She has tried to get assistance & everywhere she's gone, the funds are low or nothing is left. Her husband is gone most of the time driving and his job shuts down for the holidays. So from about Dec 20th till the 10th of Jan. he won't get any money or work.
My cousin is offing to help him get with a better company that won't cheat him out of his money & will give him a chance to earn a living for his family.
I'm thinking of setting up a donation page on my website. Plus I'm going to be putting some things up for sale on eBay Classifieds. I've a lot of things that have been sitting in my storage room & I could use the extra space too! (Edit: I'm setting up page now.)
If anyone wants to help, every dollar I collect is going to her to help save her home. It's $5,000 I've got to get up by the end of Dec. I just hope that I can get it done. Her family has no place to go & I don't have room for them here. If nothing else, at least it could help them to move if I can't get up the whole amount.
A Blessed Holiday to everyone...
