    As a poor college student, I sent what I could.

    It may not be much, however, i join in the challenge of everyone sending what they can.


    Good Luck

    my own mother has 10 kids and worked 2 jobs, just to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. I feel your pain and only ask that you keep your head up!

    Hi Milkmom,

    Not familar with what happened, but count me in for $10 as well. I work in the IT field and was laid off twice in the past 3 1/2 years so I know the feeling.

    It's not much, but I hope it helps out. If you were in Dallas I could give you some recruiters #'s...

    Wow!!! It is a small world!!

    You can help out however you wish. I don't feel it's my place to have a preference when someone is giving to me.

    We know that staying strong together is the only we will make it. Also, we know that these hard times are temporary, a long temporary, but temporary. I only hope that I have been just as good a spouse and friend to my husband as he has been to me.

    Thank you very much!! I know what you mean about being college poor. I guess that this is the first time that real world economy strife has hit us. When I was in college and eating mac and cheese each night, it seemed different because many students were doing the same thing. We were in the same boat not because of layoffs or a recession, it was because we were paying for college and it's expensive. Also, we were young so we went from one safety net, our parents, to another, our college. You can get free room and board for being an RA or working food service plus stipend money and you didn't need much to live. At least for undergrads. Now, we came out in the real world, had a family, and had been steadily employed until last year when the bomb hit. We were never prepared for this because now we have rent, diapers and food to buy, children accessories to provide, and a car note.

    I guess that reality finally hit.

    I hope I'm not ranting again.. ;-)

    Congrats on law school.. Are you going into consumer law? wink, wink

    hello there milkmom (and all creditnetters)

    i have just sent some $$ to your paypal account. i hope it in some small way helps you and your family.

    i haven't read thru all the posts yet, i have been on the road for the last week so i am unclear as to what exactly happened.

    but i know, that my husband and i were in a situation last year, where unknown people came to our rescue, and it is now time to return that favor. i am a strong believer in "what goes around comes around"

    well i am doing my "coming around" duties

    hope this finds you on the road to recovery.

    Thank you.

    I dont know that area of law that I will embark on. I am really heavy in the civil rights department right now, but this seems like a secondary duty.

    I feel that I do have a step up on most of my entering collegues, from the board here.

    You just continue to hang in there and contribute to to this board with your blessings as you are being blessed.

    Good Luck. I was also admitted to Wisconsin School of Law, but my chances of attendance are slim, considering UT is ranked #15th.

    Finally!!! it worked...I sent some extra $$$ so she and her hubbie might be able to sneak out for a little date...so everyone here..encourage her to do that! Sometimes little luxuries are a necessity for one's sanity!

    BTW I sure have fond feelings for everyone on this thread!
