Dear Ladies,
I am so sorry if this letter may
offend some of you and I hope you will understand that I would NEVER do
something like this under normal circumstances, but I am being forced to humble
myself and ask a favor of all my internet friends and acquaintances. I am
so ashamed that it has come down to this level of desperation, but I am being
forced to try everything I can think of here. I have prayed and agonized
about this for so long.
As many of you know this has not
been a good year for me and my family. Many of you here have been my
longtime internet friends and have followed everything that I have posted about
on my blog regarding my husband's severe and long term illness. I haven't
spoken of some of the deeper issues that have arisen out of this, because it's
very personal and private, but because he's been so sick and unable to work, our
financial situation has gotten so bad that we have no other choice but to file
for chapter 7 bankruptcy. I have tried keeping up with all the bill son my
own, but I just can't juggle this any longer.
I am asking my online friends,
customers and acquaintances for donations to help us get the money to pay
for the bankruptcy attorney. We have to raise $1500.00 before we can
file. Of course, I am not asking any one person for that much, but
any little bit will help. Even as little as $1.00 will be much
appreciated. If we can't get the funds together soon, we will most likely
lose everything and it may mean that I will have to close my site, as
well.
Again, I am so sorry. I
know you didn't join this mailing list to be solicited for donations and I
promise that I would never do this if I felt I had any other choice. For
those of you who are bothered by this, please accept my apologies and just hit
delete.
Thank you so much for your
time!
Deb
