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.

Hi, My name is Stacy and I'm fairly new to microgiving. You're doing
so very well in promoting your cause and I was just wondering if you'd
be willing to share my link on facebook?  My son has ADHD and
bi-polar
disorder and my husband has MS and we really need some help to get
our
medical bills under control.  If you're willing to share our link, I
will do the same for you on my facebook page.  It only takes a moment
to share a link.  Here's my link:

Hi Barbara,

I'm new to MicroGiving and thought I would say hello.  I'd like to
help promote your personal fundraiser with visitors to my site with a
new program I've launched called Support-A-Dream to encourage
donations.

Hiya Barbara, You truely are blessed with some amazing friends.  I'm
not a 99er but I know the position your in.  I'm medically disabled,
fighting for Social Security with 2 grandkids to support.  Life isn't
easy but at least I have my grandbabies to find joy in.  I wish you
more luck and hope you make it to your goal.

Take care and God Bless,
Jeannie

Hello Barbara, I am glad to see you are receiving the help you need. I
definitely relate to you as I am "99er" as well. I
unfortunately have lost everything and if it wasn't for my mother
letting me sleep on her couch I would be out on the streets. I pray
that we all can get the help we need and this economy will turn around
so we can all get back to living the american dream.
House of Interfaith Apr 18, 2011 01:22:56
Hello Microgiving family! House of Interfaith is seriously in need of
donations.  Today at church there was a lady and her daughter there
that has been homeless since Feburary.  We were not able to provide
shelter to her because lack of money.  I understand the economy is
suffering but, $5, $10, can go a long way.  Please help!

Hey! Your story has really touched me... I wish you the best of luck
this New Year, I wish I was in a position to help you out but I do
send you my blessings for the New Year!

Wishing you all the best of luck Barb.  I'm an animal rescuer and I
provide lifetime sanctuary for challenged feral cats who can't hunt,
flee, or shelter on their own.  My heart goes out to Rocky...I have a
Rocky too :)
Barb Polhamius Dec 22, 2010 03:10:47
Oh, me. Now on top of everything, my cat is very ill and is
hospitalized. I'm looking at a very big vet bill. Any help no matter
how small would be wonderful. Those who have already donated to me, I
can't thank you enough. Love- Barb
