Also do ya'll know anybody who writes grants for people to get paid? There was this lady in Cleveland who i spoke to on the phone who writes grants for people. She even has classes about writing grants but she wanted to charge me too much. I think she wanted like $90 to write a grant for me. I asked her has she written grants for other people & she said yes. I said have a lot of your clients gotten a grant & she said most of them have. I need a grant bad. I got a email last week from Matthew Klesko who sells those books about getting grants but i deleted his email cause i'm tired of spending money for grant books. When i've written grant companies in the past, a lot of the letters returned to my home saying return to sender on the envelope cause the companies don't exist anymore. There are personal need grants for paying off credit card bills, grants for food, buying clothes, a car but they're so hard to get. Please let me know if ya'll know anybody who writes grants for people & i will pay them personally if they'll write one for me depending on how much they charge.

I have a personal need.

I need one of those 50 inch plasma screen televisions.

Where can I sign up, Mr. Klesko?


In all seriousness, that Klesko guy is a scammer. If there's one thing I learned in life, it's don't trust weird-looking guys who wear question mark covered suits.

You shouldn't have to *pay* someone to write a grant for you. That just doesn't make sense.


If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Try www.pueblo.gsa.gov, it contains all sorts of grant information and it's all free.
I sincerely doubt you would qualify for any of them as they seem to be for people in real need. You know, families where the major breadwinner loses their job, people hit by natural disaster, those who are in need through no fault of their own. Instead of looking for a handout that those of us who work ultimately pay for, get a student loan and go to school. If you put as much energy looking for welfare as you do into school or work you wouldn't be in the trouble you're already in at such a young age.
