Hi,

My room mate, Maggie, and I recently found out we are being evicted.
Because of our circumstances, disabilities and other factors,
finding a safe home we can afford is highly unlikely - but not impossible.
The first order of business will be to raise cash. We're still a bit
numbed and shocked by the news but soon I'll try and organize
my mind and start the project in phases. The first phases is asking for 
help with the fundraising. I'll need people with the following skils: 

New Media Masters: FB, twitter, etc. 

Web Site Builder to put together a cool little crowdsourcing platform, 
depending on which service we end up using.

Copy writer. We have a story to tell and I'm not a writer. 

A Lawyer would be a bonus.

A bookkeeper would be very cool.

Free advice and inspiration. We have some very specific problem sets
so a lot of common sense and tradition advice may not apply but toss it 
all out there, anyway. Just for the feel-goods. 

Payment.
 I don't have cash but I'll trade anything I have except my jeep,
my hawks, falconry equipment or Maggie. I can offer graphic design services,
musical instruments, CDs, some furniture, a couple antiques, clothing, shoes,
camping gear (if we don't end up needing it ourselves), some awesome original
artwork. Whatever the barter, you won't be sorry. I'm very generous with payment. 

Deadline: I'd like to have then entire project up in 4 weeks. No matter
how soon we get it up and even if meet my goal quicklym phase 2 of
the project will be the lengthiest: Actually finding a place to live.
It's bad ebough have pets but having hawks creates a little more of
a challenge. 

This is just a "soft opening" to see what kind of suggestions and comments
I get. I know a lot of people would here like to see me disappear so that's
always a option as well. Ha ha ha.

Thanks for for you consideration.

I'll close with a cute picture of a hawk to prime the well of your good nature.

I can do the free advice and inspiration.  I would offer my copy-editing skills, but I think Alexandra has more experience than me.

Finally! A way for me to help when I'm kinda cash-poor myself! Sign me up for the writing. I wrote my brother's biography, and I like interviewing and telling someone's story for them. There's a good chance I might need some graphic design in the future if I keep self-publishing.
