Hi. My name is Ben. And I have had a terrible year. while I successfully got my good woman to Colorado and back, I have managed to be laid off from my job with the University at Houston Clear Lake. Simultaneously, Helfman Religious School informed me they wish to go in a 'new direction' with Sunday School.

So I am without work.

To top matters off, I have a mountain of bills to pay, credit cards that I can't pay down, and now I don't know if Texas will grant me food stamps or unemployment. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful. I have scheduled 3 first round interviews starting on Wednesday. And I will likely remain in demand as a cataloging librarian for some time to come. What I really need, desperately need, is some help right now. If people can contribute the 2650 I have yet to raise on this one, that should get me through the summer. With your help, I'll make it to the other side.

What do you say? 50, 100, 150, 200, 500, even 1000. Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated and help me out massively. I just need enough to pay my bills and land mortgage through the summer. 2650 should do it. Thank you for reading.
