Please give it a read. All he may need is some good advice.
Basically he got injured and hasnt been able to work due to the injury. He doesnt have a job or any leads to a job that he can do. He's single with no dependents. He's only got a few days now untill he's gets evicted and will be living at a shelter. Its in the Team Forum. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=75&t=388638 This shouldnt be happening to one of our guys. eta: he is kinda sounding suicidal in his posts too...this guy needs a leg up really bad |
|
well if he's a team member he can always ask for his "donation" back
|

govy assisted houseing,,sction 8,welfare,, ect ect.... it doesnt have to be shelter time unless you give up!
|
|
|
sorry fella but thats some funny stuff...asking for help and assistance but yet keep his team member donation..... |
|
|
You dont know what the hell you are talking about. |
||
|
Not funny at all |
|
|
I swear to God, sometimes I wish this site would go members only.
|
|
Well, Welfare is virtually impossible to get with out one or more victims(children) and it also helps to be black and know how to work the system |
|
|
I await the day you are banned from this site! You are nothing but a troll! |
|
|
That can't be true, because your a moron and not a team member. |
||
|
Go have sex with a horse. |
||
|
I know this isn't a "voting" issue, but I sure woundn't mind seeing him go away. Taking a crap in that type of a thread is not acceptable in my little world. |
||
|
Regardless of the shitstorm that's starting above, as far as your original topic....how can I help...what does he need?
|
|
so for us non team members whats the deal and how can we help?

what are you throwing out there? mabe he will see your post and IM you. That is the best I can do for you as a non team member without his approval. He posted it in the team forum to get some privacy and stay away from the mobius types. |
|
|
I dont know exactly. But here is some of the posts from the Teams forum, maybe give it a read and leave a note for him here. He is watching this thread now too.

Offer some words of encouragment. This isn't a fund raiser. |
|
|
Before people start offering suggestion on how to find work in his profession as an Electrician, he cannot do physical work because of chronic pain from injuries sustained.
|
|
How can i help? If he was closer to ND, I'd offer up a roof and a cot. Heck, the couch isn't in use.
I know how rough times are. And sometimes, total stangers can save your bacon. |
|
He's in CT by the way. Thanks NAM! |
|
|
You'e a fucking asshole. What state is this member in need in? |
|
|
CT |

|
mobius' trolling seems to be working. All these personal attacks will get this thread locked.
|
|
nah, the problem was just remedied. |
|
|
Damn it.
No one needs to lock this thread. NOT THIS ONE. Someone needs help here. You want to lock something? Lock accounts. Send PM's. Don't punish this guy for others' stupidity. That being said. I just started a business. Money is tight. But not nonexistant. I was gonna pay for a membership tonight. But that can wait till next week, if this person wants. I can manage a few bucks, if it would help. And if not, I offer my encouragement. He could have my couch for a couple weeks, if here were in FL. Anyone else who's a non-member up to help out a little? Hell, you may even know of work this guy could do, even given his condition. |
|
Thank you, sir. |

Did I ever tell you that you have dreamy eyes? |

Ok guys lets get back on topic....
One of our own needs a little assistance... Lets do a paypal donation or something... WTH people can give to the ungratefuls from NOLA... lets help this guy out. Maybe one of the site staff can contact this guy to make it more credible to all the Nay Sayers |
|
Someone needs to setup a paypal account for this asap.
I wish I had more money, there's just too many options to donate money to. |
|
I can't really take the credit. I just saw an email that beeboy sent through the system. NTL he is gone.
|

|
1GUNRUNNER,
What is the process to get the"seal of approval" from the site staff to setup something for this guy? I am in and I know several others are as well. |
|
I'd like to help but my money has recently gone to a friend who lost everything in Katrina. Good luck.
And some advice? Please dont ever post anything I post in Team in the GD. It's a gentleman's agreement to be private communication. I'd be pissed but that's just me. |

IM sent |

tell that to the 1000's that are on it and are single,,i work around w/ sec 8. we have plenty that are single female,, and single male sect 8 users. trust me they do give it out. he may not be able to live inthe best of the nest neighbor hood wise but it will be a home. Most if not some folks pay very very lil on rent. lil example. single college kid,,on sec 8, male, 20's, no job... 12$ a month disabled single male, late 40's sec 8/hope 6 under 50$ a month paid. mentally challenge mid 40's lady, under 100$ each month for rent outta that 550$ blind guy mid 30's... almost free rent crack whore single mid 30's, running weed outta her apot, while a livein boyfirend palys x-box on their big screen all day 25$ in rent,,, thanks sec8 the rent at their locations is 550+$ sect 8 picks up the tab, plain and simple! he should also contact HUD, they will help. as will some church org's.!! as is aid houseing can be had,,, unless he has givin up. |

ok guys, we need to know if he has a paypal account....
I don't have lots of money to give but i have given some to Katrina, plus some work for them, goods, etc. So I think I can spare a little extra. Time to help someone else out here. I don't know how to head this up but if he has a paypal account, would even $10 hurt some of you? Perhaps we could get him in a month rate hotel or something if no one around CT can help him out. Imagine 100 arfcomers giving 5 or 10 bucks ...would maybe help out, even with the car parts, or could get him a room for rent somewhere...something better than a shelter . (and no he would never get section 8 housing without a family and unless he is a minority most of the time). Lets not diverge here...lets get some hands up so we can keep this topic at the top of the board. Essayons |

Thanks. I have a disc problem that sounds alot like what he is going through. The doc's blew it off as muscle aches and pains until I broke bad and demanded a MRI. The MRI showed it clear as day, a bulging disc is pushing on my spinal cord. It has different affects on my body depending what I am doing. Head aches to weakness in my limbs and loss of feeling in different parts of my body, mind numbing pain that drugs just dont cut unless you call being passed out OK. I dont use paypal anymore but I have always responed to members in need so whats next ? |

The best I can offer right now is some encouragement. My mother was denied for SSDI and SSI. She had to go through pretty much all the same stuff. But it did come through for her, finally. She did have to lawyer up, and she chose to get a private lawyer, rather than one supplied by the state. So she did lose 1/3 of the back pay. But they did end up giving her pay back to the date that it was originally filed.
From her experience, and others, you are almost guaranteed to be denied the first time, and better than 50-50 for the second time, unless you are a druggie felon/crack ho. I also had to deal with the state of CT in the last 5 years, and they are a bunch of putz's, I still have one more item to clear up with them before I am free of their miserable tentacles. If you are a vet, you could try the VA, I have been helped by them in the past for medical issues. Finally, if you are a believer, remember, God will never put more on you than you can bear. Every time I have thought I was at the end of my rope, He has always come through. Guys, If you do set up a fund, IM me the info so I can send something. Thanks, dave |

I don't have much, but I am willing to send what I can. Please keep us posted...thanks.

Please Heed THIS!! What is posted in Team STAYS in Team! |

+1. Seriously, if he wants help, I'm 100% for it - but he has to ask. I've gotten in deep poop before trying to 'help' someone who didn't want it. |
