“Homelessness is a Paycheck Away”
Good evening everyone,
I am like millions of other people who are hardworking individuals that believe you get where you are by doing the best to your ability.
I was at a job with Bell Helicopter, in August of 2006 my job was affected by a “cost reduction”. I thought I would have a job very quickly since I have 3 degrees, can do just about anything that anyone would ask me to do within reason. I did it with a smile. I filled out over 180 job applications and was told on many occassions since I worked for Bell that I was overqualified and that no one could afford me because Bell pays very well, regardless to what the jobs are. It was frustrating and I was unable to sleep all the way through the night. I was losing weight, my attitude was still staying positive but was taking a beating. As of today, I signed papers to finally go to work. My job won’t start until 1-27-07 and my first paycheck will come on 2-16-07. I had to take out part of my retirement to pay my house payment and keep my utilities on as well as put food on the table.
I would appreciate some type of assistance whatever it may be. However, I ask that you send me a mailing address so that when I get back on my feet, you will be repaid back. The job I took pays $11 less than what I was making so my budget will be tightened a great deal. If I can get my bills paid off, I can then concentrate on getting those individuals who have helped me to pay them back. I am very serious about this, I don’t want a hand out without me paying back those who have helped me. I need some assistance to get back on my feet, I don’t have anyone else to help, it is just me and my 10 year old.

Thank you for stopping and reading what I had to say. Have a good day and once again thank you.
SM Forbes
