The only site that has given me some hope

I like being busy too and hate boredom too. I know microgiving is the best in helping people with money as you stated. I know Becky there from other places and she was a member here for a while. She really tries to help people out. You are right not in respect to microgiving but in respect to another site as I know someone there at Wishuponahero.. This person tends to help single moms out and the elderly but I haven't been over there to check the activity  level and if this person has been active in helping others.

I know what you mean that men are suppose to take care of their families therefore why should they need any help? In this day and age and even before this time men with families out of work need help too. Maybe the time has come to change that men with families, singles, elderly, women with children all need help and compassion. Now to find the source that will give us all the help we need with jobs, help with illnessness and living cost. It seems like it is up to each of us to find sites like this site learn about what is available and what other avenues there are that may help us. It is hard for people without transportation or live in a rural area to get the help they need. 

Jenny is a lucky daughter to have a father like you.

Wishing you the best

I like being busy. I have been unemployed for a little over 6 weeks now, so I have plenty of time on my hands. I hate boredom :D

Just so you know, I tried Microgiving a while back when things started to go bad. Of all the sites I tried that one was the best. I was able to generate about $100 and it helped at that time. But as with most places there are so many people that need legit help and so few that are in a position to offer it that getting needs filled is a longshot. I love that place though, and the people were kind and giving. I canceled my account there not long ago.

In a way, I think part of the problem is that I am a father, with a family that is and always has been together. There seems to be a reluctance to commit aid to someone like me because of the social belief that a "real" man takes care of his family, even if there is a very real need. A single mother with a few children sparks more compassion, and for good reason. I do not resent this, I simply believe that it is what it is.

Hi again

You have many works in progress and I hope they work out for you. I wish we had known you earlier and perhaps a site like microgiving could have helped. It is never to late to try the sites I gave you.

Best of luck to you and I look forward to the book in progress and the website.

Take care
