GoFundMe to feed family and pets and save house.
I'm Terry. I'm a disabled vet living on a fixed income. I'm considered unemployable and not able to get a job. Along with myself, the family consists of my wife, two sons, a dog, a cat, and two rabbits.

I had some large medical (that were not covered by the VA or CHAMPVA) and other bills recently, and because of those my budget was totally shot. I ended up missing my mortgage payment in March. In an attempt to make back the money, I made some investments using April's benefits. I thought I was being safe. I invested in two different things, both of which I had researched. When I was getting ready to withdraw my money to pay the mortgage for March and April, both investments scammed out within a day of each other. I've been using my banks overdraft protection to pay the mortgage, bills, and to buy food for the family and pets. With the $33 per overdraft charge, that really adds up.

It's the 4th of June, and because of the previous overdrafts being taken out of my check on the 1st, I only had about $700 to work with for the whole month. I had to use the overdraft protection to pay the mortgage this month, so I'm now $1,300 in the red and don't get any money until July 1st. $1,300 is beyond the limit, which means I can't even use the overdraft protection this month to feed the family.

The money will be used to buy food for the family and pets, and pay the utilities, which are coming up this week. I normally handle the bills well every month, this is just a spiral caused by the huge medical bills. If I can get a positive balance into my account, I can turn this around. Any donations, not matter how small, or any shares would be appreciated.

4. Do you still sell your free thought items? I bought a tee shirt - very high quality

Kick!

6. Yes, I do - and thanks :D

I would actually prefer to earn the money to fix things by selling the shirts. However, sales have been exceptionally slow for the last two months. Even in the best of months, I only get about 13-18 sales, and I need to sell about 80 this month just to clear up the overdraft.

Just in case anyone was wondering, the shirts being referenced can be found here (there are different items in the two, which is why I list both):
http://witsendstore.com
http://thewitsend.etsy.com
and there is one other design that can be found here:

In retrospect, investing in a Paraguayan unicorn ranch may not have been a good idea.

Why doesn't the DUmmy eat the rabbits, sell the cat to the Peking Moon, rent out the children for medical experiments, and put the old lady to work behind the Dumpster at the plasma center?

You and every other dummie. 

Disabled vet? Really?  Sorry dummie... I do not believe you. I do not believe you are either disabled or a vet.

I live on a fixed income myself dummie.  My job pays me x dollars a month and has for a while now.  Pretty much fixed in other words.  Sorry I can't afford to help you... seems the government takes out a large portion to give to other people already.   I will send you some healing white light and a pic of a pair of hands.  That will help.  I can also give you an address to write to for help:

You being a liberal vet and all I am sure B.H. Obama will generously take care of all your financial needs.

Interesting pic:

He has a Coast Guard flag (or banner) in the background. If he's a late 50-something, he couldn't have served in Vietnam. I'm not at all diminishing USCG service, just pointing out a chronological fact.

The book he has and his sourcemage.org page indicate that he does software, a career field unlikely to be affected by many/most disabilities.

If he's in his mid-late 50s, the most prominent aspect of his appearance suggests a Peter-Pan-like never-grew-up, because-I-still-can mindset (I can't, but am mature enough never to have cared that the top of my head is not hirsute).

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.
