Update:
My mom passed away on July 6th of this year (2007). Both of my parents are gone now. My daughter and sister live in Florida, so to keep from being alone, I sold my trailer and moved there. Actually, my daughter and son-in-law came up, packed me up, and drove us all back down. I spent 3 days there at my sister's place when I came down with acute Pancreatitis and had a stay in the Florida Hospital for 9 days. My sister and brother-in-law found a place for me to live while I was in the hospital and made all the arrangements to buy the trailer. It's old, one room less, and somewhat dilapidated, but can be fixed up. It was the best they knew how to do, so what can I say? It still was a big help and I call it home. After I recovered from my ordeal about 6 weeks or so later, I am still without insurance or able to work an outside job, but I am trying to come up with a way to make some money by opening a PI Scrapbooking group. I ask you to please help me keep my site up and running in the meantime. Without your donations it won't be up past the end of this contract term. Please use the donation button below for your contribution if you can help me out even a little.
Here's my problem:
I am disabled from working an outside job and have been for a little over 12 years. When I came down with siatic back problems, and my back muscles went into spasms, I lost the best job I ever hoped to work at after 17 years. I haven't been able to stand up for more than a few minutes at a time without intense pain forcing me to sit ever since.
I went back to school to learn how to run a computer inspite of my ailments, and graduated with honor being on the honor roll for the entire year. A year later I bought a $200.00 tiny pc, and got to know the internet and graphics. I fell in love rather quickly with this new world that had opened up for me, and began to create what I could! It's been a wonderful, ongoing journey ever since!
I felt the need to share what I could create with the world, and with the help of a very good and knowledgeable friend, I created my web site. Now, it is in jeopardy of being taken off line due to the fact that I can't afford to pay the fees to keep it going. Up till now your donations have kept this site online.
I have lost my house insurance. I can't afford any medical insurance, and have to be given samples by the Doctor for my one asthma inhaler! I pay for the other inhaler, and my diabetes meds/supplies, but I am soo broke month after month that I have no money to keep this site online with! I am going behind every month for one thing or another! I am soo sad over this!
At this point, I have to have help supporting my site. If you see something you like and download it, could you please send me a little something in return? I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate to keep my site up and running! Please help me keep my site, so I can create more things that you would like to have!
You can help by clicking the Donate button above. Any amount is most welcome. I thank you with all my heart for any help you can give!
I have a CD of "Tubes/Backgrounds" (mostly tubes) for PSP/PI/PS (or any other program that uses "tubes" or graphics with transparent backgrounds), a CD of PSP Frames, scrapbook kits, scrapbook photo corners, and elements. You can always help by purchasing one of my CD's or something to play with in the scrapbook line. I sincerely appreciate any help you can afford to give.
