I have always loved Douglas Adam's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I have an inordinate fondness for Marvin the depressed robot. Like him these days I say "life, don't talk to me about life." At times life sucks.
I will be 76 this month and frankly wish I had never lived this long. I have spent almost one third of my life caring for others. I don't regret caring for a mother who never liked me and a brother who destroyed his health by his neglect. I helped raise my niece and her older two children. Every penny of my inheritance went to help them.
Life right now is Pixie and me in an upstairs studio apartment that has a roach problem. She is my little 20 year old life saver. I still need to unpack boxes and set up my computer so I don't have to keep doing diaries on my cellphone. Speaking of which I had to spend an extra $200.00 I didn't have to replace my phone that died.
What I am trying to do to help myself is sell my art, jewelry and scarves. At the moment that's being done through Facebook. My Facebook is at https://www.facebook.com/michele.wilson.796. I also sell my artwork at https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-michele-wilson.
A lot of charges have come due for my website. It is all I have for access to my recipes. I only get $176.00 a month in SNAP. A good friend sends food to Pixie. After paying rent and utilities and for storage sheds I have around $75.00 left for medicine and other necessities. I am trying to get the money together to sell my car.
I could use your help. I have been crunching numbers and if I could raise $1,800.00 that would allow me to sell the car, clean out and close one storage shed, set up the computer and set up an online store. It would give me the cushion I need to breathe.
Thank you for all you have done for me in the past. You have been my rock as I try to claw my way out of this depression called life.
