I have been out of work for several months, which has actually been a
blessing in disguise. As my wife is not able to watch our children;
shortly after being laid off, my wife had to start chemo therapy. To
say the least if she isn't sleeping, she has zero energy to be able to
do anything. We have 2 children, 3 and 1 years old. Those are great
ages, but do require many hours of attention.
I have been doing everything possible to stay ahead but I’m
falling behind greatly. I drove an SUV that got awful gas mileage, and
to drive anywhere was costing precious food money. I had a job in
Endicott, NY (30 miles away) that was taking more then 40% of my paycheck to just drive
there and back in gas. I couldn’t pay for necessities and gas in
addition.
We got an eviction notice from our landlord, as we are a couple
months behind. I had to practically give away our only car just so I
could have some financial relief, and in the meantime I have to dip
into our ‘car fund’ to buy necessities. Before I get too far into the
car fund, I am humbly writing this pathetic Ad to ‘beg and
virtually pan handle’ to find a resource(s) to help me. I know that I
am putting me and my family under scrutiny by me being ‘irresponsible’
and not much of a provider, but I am being truthfully honest when I say
I am doing everything that is the best for my Family. I love them very
much, and I am willing to lay my life down for them, but I am out of
resources. I am at a dead end.
I am not looking for a hand out; I am just looking for a reliable
car for $1000 that will get us to and from the Dr's office, and also to
get to a night job where I can make enough to pay our rent, bills,
medications and food.
I too am looking for a little bit of insight on my situation, if
someone is willing to take the time to help me out with what I should
do. I have tried to explain my situation enough to where someone
doesn't write me with some cold, ignorant 'get a job' answer.
I am to my limits of all my resources. I have tapped into every
resource I know of for several months (State assistance, Churches, You name it) and it is really taxing, and all
I can do in the evenings is look for work in the Great Bend/Hallstead, PA area. Not too many options there in the evenings.
If there is someone that is willing to help me and my family out; that would be greatly appreciated, and much needed.
I am trying to sell everything that has a value to it - If you or know someone that is looking for:

Also, I am an graphic artist - I can draw, paint, sculpt, computer generate
2D & 3D. I paint murals, create logos, business cards, and
corporate packages. I have many abilities outside of art also, and I can help out in any
possible way - I can do trades for most anything to sustain my family.
I am not looking for 'hand outs' - I have received a HUGE out
poor of charity, and prayers. I get at least 2 emails an hour for hand
outs, and I feel badly for everyone's charity. Again, I am not looking for hand outs, just advise, and way that I can you out and in return help my family. I would like to be able
to do anything in my ability and talents to compensate for anything
that is offered.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Benjamin
