This site is about me building a healthier me. It is about me raising enough money to be able to buy a house, get out of debt, and go through infertility treatment(If losing weight isn’t enough)…
According to doctors if I drop 200 lbs, then we have a 40% chance of having a baby el-naturale. That’s a 60% chance overall as we’re now at a 20%. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better, and it’s a good place to start infertility treatments at. Which is why I need to get there first. My wife, struggles everday with this. Ever since she was young our faith has pounded into her head how her ultimate goal and reason for being is to be a mother. Now that she can’t she’s devastated.
With both of us working we currently earn roughly $18/hour or $720/weekly or $2880 gross paycheck. Of which 1000 is taken out for deductions - taxes, and insurance. Leaving us with about $2080 a month.
We generally pay $65 a week for gas(car), which adds upto: $260, or leaves us with $1820.
We also have rent - which is $600 - leaving us 1220. Add to that our car payment - $300 and we’re at $920.
Now that $920 must be split up between all of our other bills: electric, gas(natural), phone, internet, Tv, medical expenses, new clothing, school loans, back bills, our mountain of debt, groceries, etc….
Now this is when things are going good - there have been a lot of times when for one reason or another one of us or both have been laid off work for a month or two even, and it takes forever to get caught back up.
On top of that we’ve gone through the process of ‘Fostering to Adopt’, just to find out after taking the classes and doing all the paperwork, etc… that we don’t even make enough right now, to do the program - talk about adding insult to injury. We can’t have our own kids, we can’t foster someone else’s and possibly adopt. We can’t go back to school because we can’t afford to. We’re pretty much stuck where we are.
What I want to do…. I want to go back to school, and become a Teacher. Namely secondary ed. I’d actually like to be a Latin Teacher if possible. Someday I’d like to do something bigger with teaching and start a Charter school… for poor families. I’d also like to run for public office someday down the road, but I figure I need control of my own life, health, and family before I can start down that path.
Now for the 10 Reasons why you should Sponsor me!
- I’m cute, cuddly, and friendly and it will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing you made my day brighter(I know, sounds a little gay but might appeal to some reading this, especially if I felt out this sentence here..oh well).
- ATTN: John Chow wannabes - Ahem…He is sponsoring me, so I think you should as well.
- Exposure. John Chow was just the beginning I’ve got a radio station with 200,000 listeners working with me, and I might be going on a couple of different tv shows, — but that’s not yet solid. The point - this site is about to explode, even more than it already has, which means the faster you sponsor me, the more traffic you will get.
- 1 year + Free Advertising! Free until I am a success and can collect my money - it could take 2 years! Sponsors will receive FREE advertising rotated on this site for as long as it is up and running - You can submit a 125 X 125 banner, a text ad for inclusion on-site, and in our feed footer, Plus you’ll get a link in my ‘Sponsors’ section of my blogroll. Also there’s a good chance I’ll write a blog post about your sponsorship.
- It might be tax deductible, I’m no accountant - but hey it might be, plus you’ll be helping not only me but the American Diabetes Foundation.
- You will be able to feel all warm and fuzzy knowing you helped us start our family.
- The Lord will certainly Bless you and Keep you. or at the very least you won’t be Smitten by God…consider it Fire - insurance. hehe…
- Everybody else is doing it, or will be - instead of being pressured by your peers, why not be the first in on this and be their peer pressure, it’s always nice to be the first eh?
- It’s the fad of today, and it would be a shame to not jump at the latest fad. Where would entrecard be without bloggers who jump at the latest fad…
- Because I am right now…I know you can’t see me.. I will put up video footage eventually, but I am now on my knees begging … Perty Perty Perty please sponsor me? How about if I put a cherry on top - would that sweetend the deal? lol.
I’m sure I could go on and give you 20… but you might get highly annoyed and I think this is the best reason of all to Sponsor me - Because if you do - I’ll shut up about it! :smile: :???: :cool: :evil: :grin: :razz: :mrgreen:
