Hello, I know that this is another sad story among other stories that you have read on this site.

But this is a good story. I am a single woman with no children, struggling to pay my bills. Driving a crappy car that will die any day now. Working 2 jobs, and not making ends meet. At my main job, they cut my hrs to 3 days a week, and the other job is on call. I am grateful that I have 2 jobs. But I am not sure how much longer I will be there at the main job.  And I really can't depend on the 2nd job. I am looking for another job. But so far no luck yet. And the income is now $1000 a month from $1600 per month. That is a major cut in the income department.

I love to read, dance, watch tv, play video or computer games. I also love to sleep, play with my cats and dog. I take Max the dog for a walk several times a day. I love to help others and volunteer with the rescue animal group.

I have no family that I can ask for help. Most are dead, am disowned from them or not talking to anymore. My parents and I are not speaking to each other. Why? Because they don't approve of what I am doing with the animal rescue group. Because they feel that it is taking alot of my time away from them. They are controlling and alcoholics, and verbally abusive towards me and my animals. They threatened to kill my cats if I moved on their property. They bought me a mobile home to put on their property. Well that is all well and good, but with certain conditions. One is I had to get rid of the cats, or they will kill them. Two, they wanted to know what my daily activities are-meaning what I am doing during the day, where I am going, who I am seeing, how much I am spending, and how much I have in my account.

Huh??? I am now 34 yrs old. I think I am a bit old to tell them what I am doing, and a bit old for them to tell me what to do with my life. We have not spoken to each other in 3 yrs now. So I really can't ask any of my family members for help. My parents don't approve of what I have done with my life. Even though I have done everything that I could to make them happy and proud of me. It seems that I can't do anything to make them proud of me or happy for me. I went to college, got my degree in Business Management. I had a job but they let me go in 2003. Since then I have been working at several odd jobs off and on.

But because I have several disabilities (don't qualify for SSI), they feel that I can't work and feel the need to "take" care of me 24-7. Yeah I am disabled, but I can still work. But I really shouldn't though, because I have scoliosis and can't sit for too long. I have had 2 back surgeries, and still in pain almost 24-7. I am also the 8th child with my disabilities. I have Cerebral Cosco Mandibular Syndrome.

Yeah I know that is a mouthful. In English that means, that I have Scoliosis, small jaw, small mouth, small upper torso, and small body period. They should be proud that I have survived, and I am still here alive. And most of all, they should be proud that I have done something with my life. Most people in my situation, would be dead at birth, or mentally impaired, or on drugs and alcohol. Am I dead? Am I mentally impaired of doing anything? Am I on drugs or alcohol? No to any of those questions. Because I am here and alive!

Now back to what I am doing on Donate $ 2 me site.

I am asking for your help in paying my bills, and starting a business. I am needing at least $10,000 but I can always use more. This will allow me to pay my bills, start the business, and go back to school in February for Vet Tech. Because I love animals.

But here's the catch: I am needing this money asap. I am hoping to get this money within the next 2 weeks. I know that this is alot in 2 weeks. But I want to start my business asap, and start school in February. So I really don't have much time. My goal is to quit my main job this month by Jan 29, because the business will be very quick and easy on earning money. I will be getting my AS degree in Vet Tech. Partly because I love animals, partly because I volunteer with an animal rescue group. But mainly, because eventually I plan on opening my own rescue/rehab/training/vet clinic/adoption center for all of the animals. And plus eventually the non adoptable animals can live on the property indefinitely. Because there is no reason why they can't live and not be put down.

So, can you help me reach my goal of $10,000 or more? So I can start my business, pay my bills, quit my job, and go back to school next month? I would appreciate any help that you can give to me. Once I am back on my feet again, I will be able to pay it forward to someone else on this site too. I would prefer paypal donations.

Thank you in advance for your help on this trying time for me. And I hope that we all have a good 2010. And that I reach my goals this year.
