Re-Doing My Life

Hi: I am a middle-aged writer, crafter, teacher, cat-lover, dog-lover, ferret-lover, hamster-lover, horse-lover, and generally wonderful person who needs help re-creating my life. Due to job uncertainty and chronic health problems, I need to create my own employment and support myself with my talents and abilities. I am attempting to raise $40,000 to pay off my last student loan, fix my house so I can sell it at a small profit, and provide me with enough of a cushion to transition to supporting myself through writing, crafting, and editing. I'm already doing some of this, but I need time and resources to design my own online store, finish several manuscripts and submit them, and hopefully move to a small town where my spirit will be more at peace than it is in the big city. If I can raise enough funds, I'll be able to work part-time in an office or as a college instructor and spend the rest of my time developing my contacts, my products, and my books.
