Out of Money & Options

[Quoth]

I am in a very serious bind. I have been out of work since March. In that time, I have done some freelance writing which--while it pays for gas, car insurance, food, and more immediate needs--doesn't pay all of my bills.

I have been doing odd jobs for people I know, which brings in some money, but not enough. I have trimmed excessive spending and the like from my lifestyle, and yet I am still without a steady job or money.

I have been putting in applications to many places, and keeping in contact with those people. I have put forth a good effort to try and rectify my situation.

My problem is that I am delinquent on my rent for August, and need $275 very quickly. I have even tried begging on the street, which really didn't work all that well. I have been praying and praying about my situation, but nothing seems to be working.

I am about ready to ask someone for a donation of any size to my PayPal account; it's getting to the point where I'm desperate. I am not usually like this, but I don't want to be evicted from my home.

Please help.

It's Simple. Go create a Ebay account, Go to garage sales, estate sales, swap meets.
Thrift Stores,
Find stuff people will buy, and sell it on Ebay. It's not hard.
Search Ebay completed items to get an idea what to sell.
The other day, I bought some movie slides of Disneyland, circa 1957 and sold them for
$250 Dollars. for a $10 investment. I had over 1000 slides but sold 36 good ones.
But It would be a good Idea to also Go to the Father on this one.

Have you talked to the social security services? I don't know about where you are but ours will often help out in such circumstances by covering the arrears (possibly to be paid back). Otherwise talk to social services agencies and see what they can offer.
