Help Keep Home, Business, Birds
Donation protected
Hello, I need help raising money to pay for some of my living expenses so I can continue taking good care of my babies - Baby and Beenie and continue working on my businesses!
I want you to know that I am working on my businesses and they don't make enough for me to live on, and I am looking for work on Upwork.com.
I need help so I can keep my home to work in, because I don't and my birds don't have anywhere else to go!
My AdCreator.Design aka Adkreator.com business was affected in March 2018 when one of my payment processors, Payza was shut down. It takes a long time to recover from something like this because it made me lose a lot of customers. See what else I am working on below. I have added a Credit Card button through Stripe Payment Processor.
I want you to know I am not lazy and work 7 days a week or as much as I can!
I'm finally feeling confident enough to look for work on Upwork.com as a freelancer, but if you know anyone that could use my help in proofreading and/or Photoshop, please tell them about me!!! Unfortunately I am Unable to pay for Photoshop now, but hopefully I can sometime again soon.
I am currently working for work as a freelancer on Upwork.com. This is my profile so you can see me on Upwork. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01ec72559d9e4dec1b
I'm not where I want to be yet, but I am doing much better than I was last year. I've been working hard on my attitude and my businesses. My programmer is putting in an additional payment processor in AdCreator.Design so that will help me get more customers, and he is almost done putting in the new payment processor.
I would be so grateful for anything, to help pay for some of my rent and bills. I need positive prayers as well please. This is very stressful. My age of 65 makes it even more difficult. My business that has been bringing in a few hundred a month for me is super slow this month. The pressure from living this way is huge and I'm hanging in there, but need your help! I try to change my negative thoughts into positive thoughts daily. Thank you so much for caring, and God Bless You!
The money will help me keep my apartment/duplex, living expenses for my 2 precious birds, Baby and Beenie and I, and help me keep working on my businesses.
I never know how much my Adkreator business is going to make. It's been so slow this month, so I don't think I can take anything out for use for next month.
I'm not going to give up even though I feel like it many times. I am still working with the nice lady that has been helping me with blogging for my Adkreator aka AdCreator.Design business and Enhanced Living For Today Business. (wellness - safer household and personal care products, safe for environment) She is a professional blogger. She is so kind and wonderful!!! She comes to my apartment every 3 weeks now, on Thursdays for a few hours. She says I have improved! She has even taught me how to take pictures of still life and and how to crop pictures. She is very good at critiquing my work so I will improve!
The donations are about enabling me to be able to continue working on my Adkreator business and my blog projects for AdCreator.Design blog link aka Adkreator.com - AdCreatorDesign Facebook page and - Enhanced Living For Today Facebook page - EnhancedLivingForToday.com blog - my wellness business I want to get going. I also need to put up stories on my Instagram page. I need to spend most of my time advertising AdCreator.Design by surfing for advertising credits and sending out advertising on safelists. I need to spend most of my time on AdCreator.Design then on my blog for EnhancedLivingForToday.com.
I have also been learning how to use Photoshop. I have a monthly subscription to use it. I will even try and see if I can get any work on Fiverr
I have volunteered to pick up garbage in Burien to give back to the community of nice people. I did Sunday September 22 with some other wonderful volunteers and I will continue to do some other volunteer work with the Facebook group Localists - Burien. This group wants to spread kindness in the form of picking up garbage, helping others on our streets and other places in the area like the elderly and disabled - for example: checking to see if they need any help after a storm. This is so important to do.
I am 65 years old, live with my 2 cockatiels (little parrots), Baby who is 21 years old and his birthday is April 1st, and Beenie who is 16 and his birthday is Dec.4.
I'm getting everything I can from the government and resources.
These problems make life difficult and
Facts that make me tired:
(I'm just trying to explain why I am not able to work efficiently and quickly and I do the best I can.)
I have chronic depression, carpel tunnel syndrome, arthritis in both hands, an old back injury to my left lower back (think I tore the muscles real bad, but I don't know because I did it when I was working for free - I couldn't take money in the 80's early 90's and later on very little, because I was on SSI and SSA Survivor benefits. I was on SSI, SSA for Chronic depression. I took tranquilizers since high school prescribed by a psychiatrist. (I followed doctors orders to take the medication.) Back then I didn't understand that I could have been making money for my retirement now and had no work skills or people skills. I wasn't stupid. I was sheltered, ignorant and naive. I have GERD and unable to take medication for it because I am allergic to the medicines for GERD. I might be a celiac (unable to digest many foods) but I don't know. All of this makes my life even more difficult. I found out I have a Vitamin D deficiency and was treated for it this past summer, and I am functioning much better and still take Vitamin D. I can think much more clearly and my body is able to build more muscle. I also have the Herpes Virus that flaring up all the time and I feel like I have the flu when when it occurs, and I do take medication for it. It's just not an easy thing to deal with and take a lot of energy out of me. All of this combined is why I'm asking for help. I'm not a lazy person. This is difficult and exhausting.
This is what I do to stay strong:
I have been taking ballet classes 1 or 2 times a week in Burien at New City Dance Academy (New City Dance Co.) for over 20 years. I do this to stay strong, learn team work, discipline, push myself harder to do better, and even more! It's great for keeping bones strong, too. I also do some walking, yoga and meditation to calm my mind.
This video is of me doing foot therapy for Baby.
Baby, my 21 year old cockatiel is a special needs bird. He has arthritis in his feet and legs and requires a lot of love, attention, head
massages, and foot therapy. I hold him in a bowl of warm water up to his body to make him feel better. His feet and legs are improving
with a fresh batch of vitamins and even more love from all of you!!! I need to keep him climbing a little so he doesn't get too weak. He is not as strong as Beenie. He also requires a special diet, vitamins and needs help eating. He eats slowly and won't eat hardly at all when I am not in the room with him or if I am really stressed out. He even has more trouble walking lately when I am real stressed out. Beenie needs a lot of head massages and attention, too, or he will start to pull out his feathers. Beenie gets vitamins every few days along with chamomile tea in the morning for his nerves. He is very high strong and loves to play, plus he needs eye contact. Baby needs eye contact, too. We sit together, eat, and sleep together everyday. Their cages are in my bedroom right next to my bed. (they each have their own cage) I need to keep blankets part way around their cages all the time to help them feel safe and keep out the draft. They are my babies.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME SO FAR! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND PRAYERS.
(Note: I had to start this campaign over to start it from $0, because the other campaign had money showing, that was used up immediately of course, that I received from last winter and spring.)
