South Carolina or BUST!
For the past two years, I've been a caregiver for a friend. As his health became worse, I lost more and more of my freedoms caring for my friend. In the end, I was a 24/7 caregiver, only leaving the house to take him to doctors' appointments and the occasional midnight run around the block just to clear my head (while he was sleeping).
He's in a nursing home, and now I need to move!
I have just under 30 days to find a new place to live. The electricity is going to get shut off here, and the tv and internet proably before that. I need to find a new home, and move all my stuff, and to do this right, I'm moving to a new state: South Carolina!
I never took any "pay" from my friend or his account for caring for him, and in fact I kept on "working from home" on my small business bringing in just enough money to put food on our table each month, and allow for the extra niceties like phone service and the cable tv he needed to have.
I'm not looking to get rich, just the ability to rent a Moving Van, drive it from New Jersey to South Carolina, find a place to live, and possibly buy a "beater" car, somethign that runs but that's about it, and get on making a life for myself.
What We Need & What You Get
I'm currently looking for:
$4,000 - Total
- $1,100 == Cost of the rental truck and supplies
- $330 == Cost of gas
- $1,000 == Approximate cost of buying a car that runs
- $600 == Cost of security deposit
That would leave about $960 to cover buying food, and getting the various utilities turned on and settled in a new area.
I have a few things that I can offer in exchange for your help:
- If all you can give is $1, or $5 it will be greatly appreciated and help me towards my goal!
- For $20 I will give you 1 year WordPress Blog hosting with plugin/addon support (you supply the domain or choose YourName.QNeZ.Net for free)
- For $30 I will lovingly convert your HTML or MS Word formatted story to ePub or Mobi eBook format.
- If you can gift $50, I will help design a custom cover for your Book/eBook

- If you gift $100, I will give you 1 year of FREE website hosting (info on our hosting service can be found HERE) on a shared/virtual hostng server. This includes access to a standard LAMP stack secured with Suhosin, Web based control panel powerd by DirectAdmin, 1 year of Free Domain Name.
- If you gift $300, I will give you the same as above, but also include your own IP Address so that you can do your own Shopping Cart with SSL, and even your own SSL Certificate both 1 year of domain and SSL certificate are INCLUDED!
- For $500, I will do Custom PHP code work (some of my code can be seen HERE) billed at the rate of only $10 per hour! So you would get 50 hours of custom PHP coding. This could be use for site maintenance, custom modules for your CMS or even custom code for a new site! I'm EXTREMELY familiar with eFiction and Wordpress module builds, and can extend my knowledge to other CMS's as needed.
- For $1,000 we will name our next server after you at launch, and you will have my undying gratitude. You will also have your pick of any of the offers above.
What will happen:
By helping me fund this move, you will be helping me make a new life for myself. To step out further on my own, to get a handle on my life, and make a REAL life for myself, where instead of just surviving, I'm LIVING and making it on my own.
