Hey everyone, First of all for those who do not know who I am (Are there any of you out there lol) I am Jason / Loki
I Never thought I would EVER be making a thread like this but I have pretty much run out of options, so here's my 'begging thread'
I have fallen on pretty hard times over the last few months, regardless of what I have said or lead people to believe things have not been going well for me, few of you know the whole story but for the rest of you here is a quick recap.
I was laid off about two months ago from my State Job, now even though I work for the state I am only an independent contractor so although I get the high high high wages I am not privy to the perks like Insurance, Unemployment etc.
I also lost my affiliate program and my 3 paysites due to the hosting company "Taking The Money And Running" and just a week ago I lost the domain name for the affil program (locked out of reg account, trying to get back in)
(I did have backups of the sites, but all of the member's areas were custom scripts and involved various databases that were lost in a crash)
All my bills have now piled up and are all pending shut-offs, or have already been shutoff.
My lights will be shut off Mon Dec 3rd, I've already gotten an extension, and will be trying for one more week extension this morning.
My Internet is due for shut off anytime, I have a package deal, cable and internet, my cable is already shut off, so any moment with Internet is a blessing at this point.
My rent is also due Saturday BUT At this moment that is taken care of (thank god, as winter is here and it's too cold to camp lol)
(and now the sad/funny part)
My Video Camera, Laptop, Couch/Bed, DVD Player and Monitor for my other computer are also at risk of going bye bye, as I'm not a man with money in the bank the bulk of my possessions are "Rent To Own" I am weeks behind of the above,
Now why is that sad/funny, well my main source of income is from the internet, and without the above items I can't even pull myself out of the hole I'm in, the funny thing is really not funny but I'm trying to find humor to get by this entire situation.
So after fighting with myself for the past few weeks I've finally decided to suck in my pride and ask for some help, I've looked into every kind of 'help' in my area, two months ago the Unitied Way covered my light bill, My friends do not have any means of helping me out, and my family pretty much don't seem to care all that much.
So I come to you, hoping some of you can help me out and give anything you can, and seeing this is the holiday season and the spirit of giving and all, maybe among you will be my own group of 'angels' I dunno.
If you would like to help me out and help get me back on my feet my PayPal addy is

Now to kind of make myself feel better about asking for help (This is a VERY HARD thing for me to be doing) I want to extend the following offers...
(1) The first 3 people who can donate $50.00 will get a spot on my sig (and I will do my best to post like hell for you as well, once I can secure my internet to stay on)
(2) Anyone who can donate $100.00 Will get my design services (10 Banners, 10 Buttons, or a simple one page website design) If you would like to see samples of my work either ask around or look at my mainstream site:
http://www.jjwebworks.com
(3) Anyone who can donate $200.00 or more will get my design services (1 Full website up to 6 pages)
As of this moment the target I need to achieve as soon as possible is the following....
Lights: $175.00
Cable/Internet $450.00
Rentals: $300.00
Misc bills: $300.00
Total Needed To Raise: $1,225.00
I'm also looking for work, I've spent the last 10 years + as a designer, marketing, consulting, affiliate manager, promotions, etc.
I've decided that instead of trying to rebuild all of my paysites and affiliate program to close up shop and just find a job, so if you would like to buy off all of my 3D content domain names, ccbill account, and current affils feel free to contact me for details about that.
If I get knocked offline from the cable company I will be checking in via my friends house to check emails and paypal.
I thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you can help me out.
And to the 'haters' notice I'm NOT asking for a handout here, I'm more then willing to bust my ass to get myself out of the hole!
