Hello? Anyone out there?

(I haven't had much luck using Aidpage, and am thinking this will be my last attempt.)

Inspiration comes in many forms, and for me it's nature. I've always found things to be awed and inspired by, and I really enjoy sharing some of what I've found along the way. People need inspiration and beauty in their lives, and one of life's greatest joys is to be a messenger of that.
My premier book, 'Coming Home to the Heart of Nature' is over the midway point of creation, and will hopefully be ready for publication in just a few more months, but I am completely out of money. I would really like to stay focused on getting the book done, and holding down a job that doesn't pay well (which is all that seems to be available right now) isn't a good way to stay focused on this project. I desperately need a patron who can help to underwrite my basic living expenses for the next couple of months. If you or someone you know might be willing to do that, I'm sure we could come to some sort of agreement as to how I can compensate you for your generosity.
Thank you in advance for your consideration! www.quietlightvermont.com/book/

 in response to Inspiration...   Hi Inspiration-
Thank you for your reply. I looked over your page and ways you might be able to help and unfortunately did not see anything that would be of benefit to me at this time, though I may have missed something ( I find the layout of the page here in Aidpage a bit difficult to follow...)
I believe in my project 1000%, because I know in my heart this book will help to make a difference in other people's lives by helping them to re-connect to the beauty and power of nature. It's a project that has been kicking around in my head and heart for over two decades, and is finally being birthed into being. It's still several weeks away from being completed; the stresses of my inability to remain focused on it are taking a toll on my psyche, and to abandon it now even temporarily feels like an injustice to my soul.
My 'regular' work begins again in about 8 weeks. I have just an odd job here and there that pays barely enough to keep food on my table currently, and while I'm grateful for that, it's not enough, and my credit rating is starting to take a big hit. I have to believe that all of this will work out, but right now it feels like I'm going into a meatgrinder, just like so many others have during these economically difficult times.
Surely someone out there has the ability to help someone with a clear vision and gifts to share a helping hand up. I'm not sure how long it will take for me to return the favor, but as sure as the sun rises I intend to, paying back what is offered, or paying it forward. I believe whole-heartedly in the benevolence of humankind and look forward to the day when I can offer assistance to someone in need.
Any ideas you may have are most welcome and appreciated. Thank you again for your reply-
Namaste,
Mark

I apologize if I’ve missed your previous postings.  Most members on Aidpage consist of individuals just like you with regular lives who are volunteering their time here, and most are struggling financially.  Some are even homeless.  Even though I am an Aidpage Contributor, I don’t get paid to do this.  None of us gets paid to do this.  We do not work for this website and we are not provided with any type of government grant monies to distribute.  Whatever we give comes from sacrificing our own time and hard-earned money.  We contribute by offering support, information, and occasionally gifts to others.

 

Although we are not able to offer monetary donations, we can offer resources that may be helpful to you.  Please take a look at my homepage and see if there are others ways I can help you achieve your dream.
