After falling on hard times, I was forced to reevaluate my life and what I wanted to accomplish. I have always been an artist and a creative soul. In my darkest days the art of photography found me and gave me the ability to create beauty when all else was in complete chaos. The feeling I get from making others feel beautiful is indescribable. My dream is to do this professionally and have my own business I know this is what I was meant to do! I am taking the leap and putting 100% of my time, effort and self into making this dream come true. I am in need of donations so I can purchase quality equipment that will help me produce worthwhile work. I truly believe with a little help from others as well as helping myself this will turn my life around for the better. I have created this website with the belief that if I was able to ask a lot of people for donations of as little as 0.99 that if enough people came together and each gave less than a dollar that collectively you could change the entire course of my life for the better. I will be blogging to document this journey and look forward to taking you along http://www.the99centexperiment.com/

I am financially blessed, and I am willing to share my wealth. I am sincerely willing to see to help in your situation. Send me email on jesu.ose@aol.com, let me know how I can help you. Debra

I'm an 18 year old girl living on my own. My parents aren't supporting me financially at all. I know I won't be able to pay my rent by myself, so I'm asking for help. I can't think of any legal ways for me to make $800 in two weeks without a college degree, so I would definitely appreciate any donations. Anyways, I really hope someone is willing to help me. I need it. I've never felt so helpless.

Up until a year ago, I worked full time plus two other part time jobs (about 6 days a month) and did OK making ends meet in my household. I am a single parent,I have worked full time since I was 17- I have a good work record and great work ethics. I suffered an injury at work (both my shoulders) that initially left me unable to work "full duty" which also left me unable to work my 2 part time jobs. Since then, my employer has denied my workman's comp claim. I have been employed with them for 12 years. I receive a portion of my regular pay on pay day but have lost my full income, overtime along with the supplemental income I needed by working the 2 part time jobs. I am currently under doctors care (have been since the injury (11-2011)and recently had surgery on the right shoulder (10-4-12) with the left side to be scheduled in the near future.I am in constant pain and the range of motion on both sides is greatly impaired. I am almost always brought to tears while putting on clothes. My doc anticipates several months of rehab for both and I will be unable to work at all until then. I am an average mother who was living pay check to pay check but somehow able to make ends meet and provide for my family- just like so many others. But, since getting injured, I am barely able to make ends meet and there are many times when I can't pay the gas bill or buy groceries. I don't squander money nor do I have a lot of material things that I pay for (car note, mortgage, loans etc)- just the basics. I don't qualify for any type of loan because honestly, my credit is not good (partially my fault and partially the fault of divorce) and even if I was able to get one, I would be unable to repay it. I am asking for anyone who is able to help me by making a donation so that maybe when the bills come due, I won't have to choose between paying the gas or electric bill or buying groceries. Thank you in advance for opening up your heart and helping me. JB
