Hi,
Please read this entire email:
First off this is not a scam. I'm a single (custodial) father of 3 young
children. I work full time, plus what I can get on the side at nights to do
at home. if you are a  parent then you know the unpredictability of daycare,
babysitters, ect, ect...and trying to balance the full time job, a
household, and daycare expenses.I am not on welfare or other types of public
assistance, my income is over that (barely).

The purpose of this email:

Here is the situation, The four of us live in a 2 bedroom apt. and i drive a
car thats on it's last legs. The two things I'm trying to achieve is to get
a house for us. and a reliable vehicle. and yes I am on all the waiting
lists for section 8, and moderate income housing within the town we live in,
But they have 8 year waiting lists, and really don't want to be in a 2 bdrm
for the next 8 years.it's getting more crowded as the children grow.

Why don't I move out to another town or state?

First all 3 of my children require speacial services, in which they are
recieving here, my daughter  (7yrs old) is ADHD with Expressive language
disorder, my middle son ( 5yrs old) is Autistic and attends a class for
autistic children in our town, and my youngest (2yrs old) recieves speech
services from the town. If you have a child with a disability, then you know
the struggle of getting and keeping these services going, and how unflexible
they are with your work schedule. and if we were to move away from here,
then they would lose the services and the battle would begin all agian, and
my children would suffer from it. Yes, other towns do offer services for
ADHD and language, but not for autism. And my son cannot afford to lose this
school.
Second this is where the rest of our family lives, and seperating them from
them would not be in their best interest , they have have very close bonds
with their grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins.

Does my family help out?

Yes, they help us everyday, they even take time from thier jobs to assist
us,and I'm eternally grateful for having such a wonderful family. I don't
know where we would be today if it wasn't for them, and I'm sure if they
where able to help me achieve these goals they would, but they cannot.

How you can help.

I make business cards on my home computer, multicolor and charge $25.00 for
200 of them includes shipping. Even if you don't have a business, it's
easier to hand out a card than to write your name and number over and  over,
Right Guys:)
I can scan pages up to 8 1/2 by 11 inches at $1.00 per sheet and email them
to you.
or pictures at $0.75 each and email them to you.( if you want the originals
back, please include SASE).
or put them on a zip disk at the cost of $16 + the charge per sheet or
picture.
I make certificates $12.00 for 10, with anything you want on them.
Please forward this email to as many people as possible.
I will not give your email or address or any other information you send to
anyone .

You can send your orders to:
G.Farquhar
576 Washington St. Apt 407
Weymouth,Ma.02188
**Please include payment with order. cash,check or money order payable to
