You can try the Salvation Army. They help sometimes as in your case. Also try your local churches. Some of them help out in certain cases too. You could have a garage sale, if you have anything of value to sell. Or if you are a sewer, you could take in some sewing to do. Offer to do cleaning or ironing around your neighborhood. Offer to walk dogs if you are not afraid of them. If you are a good cook, offer to cook for people. My DH smokes and bar b q’s for people and sells the meat. If you are a healthy, there is a lot you can do. Just think outside of the box.

If you have an active ATM or credit card, you can try selling some things on eBay. I use to sell books. But you must have a credit card to put on file for them. A lot of things do pretty well. You can get free boxes to mail in from the post office. Free tape to use in packing. Use old newpapers to wrap things in.

You could also check around and offer to be live in companion to someone who is bedridden in exchange for a place to stay. Maybe a little light housework or cooking might be involved. Check the want ads. I see these ads sometimes.

If you drive and have a car, you can offer to do shopping for others who can’t get out to do it or those who are too busy. They give you thier list and you pick it up and deliver it for them. Make up flyers and pass them out to advertise. All you need here is gas..Yeah, I know it is expensive today, but it is a thought.

If there was time, you could make plant starts from flowers and sell them when they got a good start. All you need for that is containers, like tine cans, etc,,,and some soil…and talk people into giving you plant cuttings.

I’m just throwing this out there. You may not be able to use it, but someone else reading this, may. Good luck to you. This is something most poverty stricken women like me, worry about a lot too.

You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://www.pcworkathome.net . Many of these companies have been in business for several years

You can also go to the local Goodwill center, they will help you find a job and/or train you. You can also try your luck at online charities like Modest Needs, people may send donations, if your requirement is genuine. From http://www.laodn.org/
