Hi im DawnMarie 48 yrs old from Brooklyn NewYork i share my living space with a beautiful white cat named Mr Mugsy....Im here because like alot of u, im also struggling and i know it hard at times to keep positive and have faith... Im on Public Assistence and thank God for Food stamps and the health benefits....So i know what it feels like to get cut off notices for bills and be behind in rent!!! ive had to give the simple everyday things that most people take for granted such as cable tv, at first it was very hard not having cable, and just having basic lifeline phone, but after awhile u get used to it and get used as a woman going with-out the girly luxuries,...personally i can tell u "there are no jobs out there" i was one of the 99'ers and they never did extend the unemployment, so basically ive had no income for close to 9 months but im managing and doing the best that i can, one thing im great-ful for is i have a Family that one they can they help me!!! and for that im greatful....I also like to share my resources and help others anyway i can, if its in my power, while on this site, i have made some great friends and we all try and help each other....I also ways also push craigslist for most basic needs, there are really good people out there that will help u!!! so dont feel ashamed to post and ask for what u need, the catagories would be, general, barter, housing, childcare, volunteer, from clothes, childcare needs, housing, computers, cars , i have always used craigslist and have been sucessful, and have always recommended the site to others that also found luck!!! as for not having cable if u have a PC U CAN WATCH MOST PROGRAMS, on HULU TV, YOUTUBE, CLASSIC CINEMA ON LINE, CRACKLE TV, THESE OFFER MOVIES AND TV SHOWS, OR JUST YTPE IN BROWSER FREE INTERNET TV AND MOVIES TO WATCH....THIS IS A GREAT OPTION FOR THOSE OF US THAT DONT HAVE CABLE!!! AND PLEASE ANYONE THATS ON UNEMPLOYMENT PLEASE GO AND APPLY FOR FOODSTAMPS AND CHECK OUT WHAT OTHER RESOURCES YR ENTITLED TO DONT WAIT, SAME APPLIES FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NO RESOURCES AT ALL OR HAVE RUN OUT OF OPTIONS......
AND IF I CAN HELP ANYONE I WILL.....
