About this Project
I've been making some progress toward creating my own freelance business. It's slow, but I have hope. It's very hard to ask for help from friends, let alone complete strangers, but I must. The smallest donations really DO add up, and you will know that you have helped someone in true need. I have been a '99er since October 2010. My only income is donations from friends and "strangers" with big hearts and jobs. I am still diligently looking for work daily. I'm almost 60 years old and partially disabled, but not enough to qualify for disability benefits. I am truly between a rock and a very hard and cold place. Thank you all, so much.
