SAVE IOWA VOICE

Our friend Brian at Iowa Voice is having some financial difficulties. Here are a few details of Brian’s situation.

Back in December, just before Christmas, I was fired from my job due to a change in management. I managed to land a new job that was to start right after Christmas, but it was with a guy who was going to open a restaurant and he needed to remodel it. It’s now a full month later, and he’s not ready. I am still out of a job.

I’m seriously overdue with my bills. My home phone and cell phone were shut off today. My electric bill is due today, and will probably be shut off tomorrow or soon after.

My internet is overdue, too, and will probably be shut down this week. That means I won’t be able to blog and, worse yet, I won’t be able to finish my college studies (I’m taking a course on Computer Network Management, so I can change careers).

My gas bill is overdue (in Iowa, though, I think there’s a law that says they can’t shut that off during the winter.).

My house payment is due tomorrow.

I have a wife and two kids. My wife is a substitute teacher, but they rarely call. Now they won’t be able to at all.

Brian is working hard to get out of the situation, he has a great blog, and I would like to ask some of you to help him out till he can get back on his feet again. Go to his site for details. Buy a blogad, or donate a few bucks for a blog brother in need.

    A helping hand, as little as it may be, due to circumstances,is on the way.

    I can’t help as much as I want today, but I get paid Friday. I also have linked to this page at my blog.

    Bluto has an ad from Amazon. The owner is of course as left leaning as Soros. Would you accept money from him ?
