Helping Milkmom

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but DemPooches, I get a kick out of your name!

 

LOL...it's just a little of our household silliness in honor of three big old sweet loveable canines we love dearly.

As in "We just Luuuuuvvvv dem pooches!!!"

They'll be glad they brought a smile.

I just sent a little something. I hope things will get better for you.

 

I just paypal'd you $10, milkmom.

I can symphasize with your situation. I got laid off last July. A couple of the guys who worked with me, and also got laid off, formed a small computer/network consulting company around September. I'm making less than half of what I made before, but I'm happy to have a job at all. Like your husband, I also have a Cisco certification.

It's definitely hard to get a job right now. I'm really thankful for my friends who could find work for me. I wish you and your husband luck, and hope everything works out for you.

Thank you so much matt. I know we will be where you are soon.

 

Once again, I just want to give everyone big hugs and kisses in gratitude and appreciation for everything.

 

wowOwowwwwwwwwwwwww,

I never used paypal before, that is VERY cool

Thank you for blessing me in receiving, milkmom!

Since you are unsure about the checking account being open or not...I dropped a $25 postal money order in the mail today. I would send more if I could, but I challenge everyone who can afford it to give at least $1. Be sure to check on WIC...you can get formula for the baby, cheese, eggs, milk, cereal and juice for you too until the baby is 1 yr old and for any children under 5 I think. I had a sister-in-law on this program recently. Good luck and you are in my prayers

 

Milkmom

Just read the posts.
Will also send to your PO Box

hope this is not a stupid question - but is a check ok - or will the bank "eat" it up?

oops - just read the previous post
will send cash

 

uh oh,

I shouldn't have used paypal?

I re-read, with money coming in the bank will keep the account opened or it has already been closed?

Sassy

 

It said in the letter that they are closing it but I will find out tomorrow. I think that joe or dempooches said that I can request that they send me a check.

 

ok milkmom, thanks!

I won't worry about it unless you say otherwise.

Whatever works best for you, I'll send you a money order if you'd rather.

Sassy

 

That's right. Paypal will work out just fine whether the checking account has been closed or not. If Milkmom needs to request a check from Paypal, it will just take 3-4 days longer than the ACH credit to the bank account would have.

But she can most definitely retreive the funds either way.

Dempooches

 

Hey Milkmom,
Are you okay with Paypal? I was about to sent you money but I want to make sure you get it!

Hmmm....better yet, I have to go to the Post Office tomorrow anyhow to CRRR a letter to Experian. I'll get a MO and send it to you.

I empathize with you so much. I'm complaining about an APR jump while there are others who really have something to complain about.

I pray things start to turn around for you.

Just sent funds via paypal. I hope this helps your situation milkmom and I'm glad I could help. Take care

 

Hopefully I won't have a problem. Thank you SweetnSas.

 

dear milkmom-
I'm new to this board but among the jillion posts I read your story. I was a single mom raising 2 daughters and in 1992 went on total disability. Fortunately I had private disability for a few years which enabled me to continue raising my daughters in the manner they were accustomed to..lol. But it was tough for all three of us. Now my daughters are grown...they realize what the "real" world is about and they constantly ask me "how did you DO it, mom?" So remember it is easy being a terrific spouse, significant other, parent, friend when times are good...but it proves you are a terrific spouse, significant other, parent, friend when times are tough.

On a more personal note...I was born in Kenosha (St. Catherine's)..lived there till I was 9...we moved to FL..but only for the winters...every summer I spent in K-Town. I graduated from U of WI-Parkside. My youngest daughter was born there (St. Catherine's) My brother is developing property on the Racine side of KR...I just spoke with him this week and he was telling me the devastating effect this economy is having on the Chicago area.

I would like to help you out...just let me know which you prefer..Money Order or PayPal...I can do either.Just let me know.

Carole

PS my mother is travelling to K-Town next week...isn't it a small world!

 

Am sending you a check by snail mail. Hope you can buy diapers or put gas in the car.

Keep your spirits up as best you can. My daughter said she's asked the girls in her hall (she's a Resident Assistant, small Baptist school) to say prayers for you and your family. So you've got 25 "trying to be angels" sending positive prayers your way.
