http://app-trying-to-work-1.aidpage.com/ I am a single mother of 2 boys. One is 6 the other is 15. I have worked for an insurance company of some form for over 15 years. Due to health reasons 3 years ago I had to quit. I have been trying to find something to do from home, or a grant to start my own charity business helping elderly ladies of low income. I have had no luck in either category. I do however have 3 file cabnets full of information regarding both categories. It is amazing how many people can sleep at night knowing they are ripping people off. I couldn't. I believe that if you work hard and believe in something it should happen. I am losing hope and faith in man kind. I have one soap box and it is our elderly. I got to spend a little time teaching elderly ladies craft projects that live in section 8 housing. These ladies were the light of my life next to my 2 boys. But the lady that recruited me was of course ripping off these ladies and I couldn't continue knowing she was pocketing the money that was donated and still charging these ladies for the classes. They were so happy just to have someone to spend time with and talk to. It really grabbed my heart. I also want to help the mothers who want to stay at home with their children. I have worked most of my 15 year olds life so far and he is a different child now that I have been home. I don't think people realize that by mothers not being home to nuture their children that these kids are growing up cold and distant. I believe that this is a large part of what is wrong with our society today. If we could slow down and focus more on family maybe there wouldn't be so many murders, child molesters, and missing people. Every night in news it makes me cry to hear what this world has become. I think if we start thinking about each other and not ourselves maybe it would be a better place to live. Well that is what trying to work is all about. Now are you tired - I am. Hope I haven't bored you to pieces and I am only 38 even though I sound like some old person. So Good luck - Take care - Say Hello to someone on the street you don't know. Maybe you'll make there day. You could be the only person that speaks to them today!!!!!!!!!!

I have exhausted all of our funds and still have not found one that does what it claims to do. I do however have a lot of information. I would like to research one more field in the work from home business, which is drop shipment sales with internet access. I don't have the money to purchase a few of these opportunies nor do I have the funds to pull together all of the information I have already purchased. I would like for others not to have to go thru or spend what I have. I also have the ugly truth about grants and would like to publish an information booklet on this also. The divisions I have information on regarding working from home are MLM's, online surveys, the pyrimad scheme, stuffing envelopes, secret shoppers. I have 15 years of office managment experience. I fell upon ill health about 3 years ago and it is hard for me to leave my house. My experience is in the insurance industry and I have yet to get a work from home position in medical claims. Even though I have several years of experience I still am unable to find a company that does this for home workers. This program cost $450.00 but supposedly they help you find doctors that will use your service. I would like to check into this also. If someone could please help me or send me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. It has been one circle after another with no light in sight. Thank You for your help and time. God Bless Stephanie Tue, 9 Aug 2005 20:32:55 PDT http://need-a-friend.app-trying-to-work-1.aidpage.com/ I don't know what I could help anyone with other than a compasionate ear and someone to lean on. I just would like to do something to make this world a better place for someone. I don't know a lot about anything other than insurance and what not to do. But I have been told that I am a great listener and I truly care about how and what people are feeling. Sometimes it is good to have an outside party to give suggestions and to bounce things off of. I have 15 years office management experience working for small business. I am good at putting together proccess to run an operation. I also can make complicated things simple. So if you need someone to break it down for you, set the assembly line up, or to talk to and offer ideas that might or might not help. I am the girl friday of your dreams. you can email me at deccodesigns@earthlink.net. I am online every morning doing research and searching for my own needs from 7:30 to 11:00. Good luck and remember someone cares somewhere. Have a great day and a wonderful life. It will get better !!!! Stephanie Wed, 24 Aug 2005 09:05:56 PDT
