Welcome to "A Dime and A Dream." (If you would like to skip my story and go straight to the donation then click this http://www.geocities.com/bondservant4jesuschrist Hello, My name is Melissa and I am a young woman entreprenuerial who has dream, actually more than one dream. But I have financial obsticles that I need help to pay for. I really do in believe in repaying debts and it would be stealing not to pay them back. But the hard part for me is that I am on a very low income. I receive approxitmately $925 from the state and goverment each month through Social Security, because I have mental illness and take regular prescription medication. I live in what they call a "Board and Care." The good thing is I get 3 meals a day and too snacks. The bad part is I only receive about $133 a month for spending money. I sometimes get some money from my father, but even that is only about $100 or $200 a month and that will go to things I need and some entertainment expenses, etc, but it is still hard for me to buy other simple things like clothes. It's hard to get clothers when I have over $8,000. I have to wear the same clothes over and over and they are wearing out. I may be able to get a few dollars out to my various debtors, including 2 credit cards that I don't even get to use, they have already expired. I started young when I was a very impulsive young woman of 18 years old. Yes, it was the foolishness of youth. But fast forward about 9 years and I still have not been able to repay it. It's been so long and I barely have been able to put a dent in this huge some. Now also I have checking account which is full of over the limit fees. Instead of not charging my credit card, fees were allowed including one for only 99 cents and I have to pay $24 for a 99 cent fee! Also other debts pile, up, because it's so hard to pay for others and then I think why bother putting so much into any one, because I can't pay for them all, it's like a never ending vicious cycle. I feel bad, because I do want to pay for them, but I want to have clothes and go out and not worry about not having enough for bus fare and also I have internet fees that will be costing me $50 a month (plus more to pay for webhosting and other fees on the internet) and that leads to my dream for the internet. One of my dreams is selling my digital photography online regulary and paintings (including digital painting made with graphic software). I will sell them with a website and over Second Life, a cool virtual world. I have loved to draw since I was a young girl and I even won a poster contest for an equal opportunity organization, it was only $25. But it showed me I did have talent and was very excited. I also would draw the main characters from Animaniacs and I also read a book about Steven Spielberg when I was about 13 and that's when my dream of being a movie director was birthed. Like I told you I have many dreams, but one goal brings them all together. I will tell that a little later. I had wanted to meet Steven Spielberg and be a movie director. I heard about when watching Tiny Toon Adventures (all these cartoons involved Steven Spielberg's help) that these 8th graders made a script and got it to Steven Spielberg to make it for them! How cool, is that? So I had my try at writing my own little scripts for Animaniacs, but I got back a letter and those scripts returned. The letter said they didn't take unsolicited material and I needed a reputable agent. At first I didn't know what that all meant, but I later found there meetings. I gave that up, because I didn't think I could do that. It was dream and I had it for years. I have also been very saddened and gave up my dream earlier last year. But I always am hoping that it will still happen. Then early this January 2007. I saw that Steven Spielberg is having a contest called "The Lot." I know there is not enough time this year to do it, because it is due Feb. 16, 2007 and I have no script, but I think maybe if I have help that next year I can get help and funding for my dream of being a movie director and meeting Steven Speilberg. My other dream is that I want to loose weight and inches off my tummy. I am 5'2" and 222lbs. I want to be able to buy some extra healthier food, so that I have alternatives when I don't want to eat the more fattening food, the place I live serves. Also fruit can be expensive also. And all these things pile up, because I can't do one because one or the other. Like I can't eat healthier, because of not enough money to pay for current things I have and debt I want to pay. The reason I want to lose weight and inches off my tummy is because I want be good looking for me, because medication for mental illness, makes it more difficult to lose weight. Also I want to get married. That is one of my dreams since I was young also. When I get married you want to offer your husband a beautiful body with the personality. Also I want to be with out debt when I enter a marriage so I will not be a financial burden on the person whom I marry. I also want to help others with there dreams I also don't want to just get something for nothing. So I will also be having a section of digital pictures and art so that you get something for your donation. The main theme is a "Dime and a Dream," because a dime is a very small amount of money. Almost the smallest in US money. But you can donate any amount you want, it's your choice. See so all these dreams and desires interlock. Also all these things lead to my main goal which is to bring glory to God through my talents and life and tell others about his Son and tell them the Gospel the Good News of Jesus Christ.
