Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Okay I need a few hugs and a lot of ideas. We are dead broke and supposed to go on vacation in just over a month. My husband's job takes care of the condo arrangements for while we are there - we just have to get there and pay for food while we're there. We'd love to go to DisneyWorld, but I dont' see HOW we can possibly afford that right now. I was really looking forward to taking the boys to the Magic Kingdom too, oh well. Oh and right now we don't even have enough money to go and get some extra groceries - so I went a little nuts this morning and called my hubby at work hysterical - reaaaally helped the situation out, NOT! I took a xanax and now I am desperately trying to figure out what I can do. I'm working as a Service Coordinator but obviously not making a whole lot right now. I am also selling on Ebay and Half.com - although that doesn't make me rich it helps with extra expenses right now. My SIL and I are having a yard sale, not this weekend but the weekend after and ideally I would like to make a lot there - but how? I don't have tons of extra stuff lying around to sell at this yard sale. I have boxed up lots of stuff and have a couple of old couches and a chair along with some end tables, but really I would like to earn a few hundred and I dont' see how that can happen. So suggestions and hugs? Anyone? HELP!!!!!!!! I need my friends and since I have none in reality I need the few I have in cyberspace . I'm having a hard time with this. Bombard me with suggestions - I need them all!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 well, my first thought would be to see if you qualify for food stamps. here in ny, you can get them if you're working but below their income level. my second thought, about the vacation, is to see if there are any agencies that would like to sponsor a trip to disney world. i know some people have had good luck with easter seals, but i have never tried. i would also call disney world personally and see if they have any discount rates for handicapped children. i think wendy just took her daughter to sesame place for free, but i don't know how. that's all the thoughts i can muster at the moment ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is today, but yesterday's tomorrow - Mr. Krabs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gina, 31, ny single mom to - kailey, 8, autism, hyperlexia, depression, anxiety, OCD, DSI trevor, 3, multiple developmental delays, no " official " dx yet parker jade, due 7-25-03 :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 How do you get your tickets for half, and what would you write if you were to email them? We're planning a trip to San Diego, and this would REALLY help if we could get a break on tickets. ellen Re: Help! I need Ideas!

I earned a couple hundred in one day last summer with my yard sale. Find the biggest ticket kids' things you don't use anymore -- car seats, bouncers, baby gyms, toys, all that stuff -- my high-backed booster seat went for $30 alone. And those items will bring people in. Outgrown kids' clothes and adult clothes for $1 a grocery bag sell well too. I put out all the videos I didn't want or need anymore for $2 apiece and the box was emptied before lunch. Nobody bought music cassettes or fiction books, but the non-fiction sold. Silverware went fast, believe it or not. So did glasses - but not mugs. Recipe books sold. Board books sold. Put signs up at all the intersections leading to your house. Be willing to start the sale at 8am, even if that means setting up at 7. People do show up that early! Haggle. Talk to people when they come, but just to say hi -- then just be present and available. No talking on the phone, no talking to each other. You can do this! Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 What I do is I check the email for disabilities usually they have something written there about skipping in line etc. Then I email customer service and explain that I have a child with a disability (autism) and that we are unsure about her ability to tolerate large crowds for an extended period of time. Then I explain how in the past I have gotton half price ticket for her at Sesame Place and ask if they offer a program like that as the possiblity of having to leave after a short time is a strong possiblity. She does well for awhile and then overloads. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Oh also if you're doing two day sale if someone is thinking about buying something but not sure tell them to come back tomorrow and then take 20% off. Or if you're only doing one day after 12 cut prices and put up a sign to that effect. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
