Ruby Rose Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Since you do photography, take your laptop and camera to the beach, park, somewhere picturesque and offer a photoshoot on the spot for $X an give them the CD immediately. If they would like you to edit photos at a future date you can for an additional charge. I was approached by a women handing out flyers on the beach with her phone number. Lots of people on vacation so this way everyone can be in a nice pic together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Oh how I wish we could qualify!!! Somehow a family of 5 making $36,000/yr makes too much for food stamps. We do get WIC (for my youngest) and Medicaid for all of the kids. Ugh, I'm sorry. I assume you *have* applied for the food stamps (since you get WIC and Medicaid)? I'm just saying that because I googled for you, and it looks like you're really, really close, just barely above the limit; in PA, I think they deduct some of your income or something, so what you make is actually more than what is counted. If you haven't actually applied, try it and see. If your income is variable, and it's been low the past couple of months, that's all they'll count for food stamps, so you might get them for at least the next six months. If you own your home, if you're that tight and can't make your regular bills, you may need to contact your mortgage company and see if they can make a deal with you.

MrsBasil Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 My craigslist has a section for domestic gigs and sometimes people post needing for onetime house cleaning or child care. Can you and your DH sell plasma? We got grocery money earlier this year that way. In general labor and Etc. on Craigslistpeople advertise for one time or quick help needed. Can you or your DH do physical labor? Years ago DH would go to Labor Ready on his days off, he usually ended up cleaning construction sites but he was paid that day.

Blueridge Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 It might be *fun* for the kids to help you fill every container in the house with water, including the bathtub, so that you will know that you have water on hand, just in case. Can you do lawn work...pool cleaning...window washing, etc. You could keep your prices reasonable and make up little flyers. You might visit smaller businesses (bakeries, florists, grocery stores) and see if they need bathroom cleaners, inventory help, window ad hangers.

elegantlion Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Dh and I cleaned homes several years ago. We charged about 75.00 to clean about 2500 sf home. Prices to clean seem to have skyrocketed, but you would need to consider your area. I think 200.00 to clean a home would be a bit of a stretch unless you're cleaning 4k sf or more. You might contact some commercial business and see if they have a cleaning company. Also try contacting a temporary agency to see if they have some assignments that would fit your skills.

But the other problem is that money is so tight that you don't have enough money for utilities. You're going to need some longer term solutions for that one - not just a quick cash solution.

Agreed..... The longer term solution is in place (me working) - the 1st problem was that I didn't work for a few months, which led to us being behind, the 2nd is that I only get paid once a month and although I've been back to work since the end of June, the next installment won't be to me until the end of Aug. The final problem is that we're behind. I make enough to help us make ends meet, but not enough to have extra to catch back up. I know that once we're back to even....we'll be able to make ends meet with what we make. It's how to get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon37127 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I always have this huge tug at my heart when I read forum posts like this. Only because I've been there- repeatedly. Please don't let any amount of pride get in the way of asking for work or help from anyone that may a resource to you. I wish I could come over and hold your hand while you deal with this. If you have any debts, immediately put them on a pro rata plan. That may free up some budgeted money (maybe not immediately, but by next pay day). And, no, I'm not considering the water bill as a debt, that is a basic living expense. I went through a period where I was short-changing our basic needs to come up with "extra" money to put towards debt. It literally took Dave Ramsey on stage telling us it was ok to spend what you NEEDED to spend on the 4-walls: food, shelter, clothing, and transportation. It wasn't extra money- it was our money to survive. Please make sure you are spending what you NEED to on basic necessities and don't feel guilty or take from this money to pay any debts. I spend our income my categorical percentages. We don't spend over XX% on shelter, XX% on food, and XX% on debts (with the goal of 0%). This is where the pro rata plan comes into play. If you only have 100$ a month to put towards debt, then that is all you have- you wount be tempted to spend necessity money to get rid of the debt. Spread it out by the percentages. I have tried various opportunities for employment as a SAHM over the years. Some work and some don't. I would try to get to a place, budget-wise, where your income was the extra and basic living expenses came from hubby's income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIS0320 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Isn't that usually just a donation? No $$? I can't do plasma....it makes me sick. No, we don't. My kids go to a very large mega-church, but we are not regular members. We were very graciously given some assistance from a church down the street before Christmas last year (thanks to a wonderfully sweet and thoughtful Hive member). I'm embarrassed to be in a pinch yet again. Very desperate is a PERFECT description. Don't know where you are at, but I know our parish has had people walk in and ask for help and they've been given it, even if they are not members and have never stepped inside before. Even if it is just food or toiletries that would otherwise take $ that could help. Don't be embarrassed!

People don't want to hire employees long term for cleaning house interiors, cleaning vinyl siding & fences, detailing cars, washing windows, and painting rooms, but they're happy to hire you for a oneshot.

k2bdeutmeyer Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 I saw this thread this morning but didn't have a chance to respond. I have several 7th grade things you can have: Trail Guide to Geography, Lifepac Science, Math, & LA (I think between 2-6 lifepacs each subject), and a Lifepac science DVD. I will be happy to mail them to you. Even if they don't work for what you need, you can try to sell them. I don't have enough posts to sell on these boards & I would rather help someone else out, anyway. :001_smile:I have been in this situation many times before. It is not fun. :grouphug: I PM'd you!

lotsofpumpkins Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I haven't had a chance to read all of the replies, so sorry if this has been asked. Is your dh trying to earn some extra money too? This is something you should not have to stress about alone! Ultimately, it is your dh's responsibility as the head of the family to support you and your children. It's fine that you are trying to help, but I hope you aren't trying to carry this burden alone. I wish I had some of the books you are looking for, but my oldest is in 5th, so I don't have any 6th-7th books yet. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been working extra shifts at $150/shift over the last 6 months or so. He's only been able to do 1-2/month though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissad2 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 You don't have a junk car sitting around do you? They bring $300+ at the crusher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to hear. I can tell you are very upset about this (I would be too), so I just wanted to make sure your dh is doing what he can too. Sorry I can't help you out; I hope you are able to get the cash you need very quickly. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
