This industry has been good to me, and I'm not asking anyone to do anything they don't want to. I'm in serious trouble due to my medical bills.
Yes, I live in Canada; I came on a temporary resident permit. I never upgraded to permanent residency because, from the symptoms I've had, I thought I had the beginnings of diabetes, which could disqualify me for permanent residency as a "burden on the healthcare system". As some of you know, the problem turned out to be not diabetes, but high blood pressure and kidney failure. Additionally, I've been going blind for a couple of months now.
I'm not entitled to free medical care, and I'm not complaining about that. It's just that I don't have the money to pay my bills anymore. My blood pressure is getting under control but my vision is continuing to get worse; I don't know how much longer I'll be able to work or drive at all. I have an appointment with an opthalmologist in March (long waiting lists).
I've spent our grocery money on doctor visits and medicine, our rent money on groceries, and have nothing to cover the rent; I have a prescription to fill and nothing to cover it with.
As some people will be quick to point out, I've been down and out before:

This time I may not be getting back up again.
When I realized where I'm headed I started building

Ad space is available by donation, starting at the bottom; because it will probably be viewed by people of all ages I can't allow any adult ads to be placed.. which puts me in a pickle since I don't know anyone in mainstream.I don't really expect the top ad spaces to sell as single units; I'm hoping to sell them off in pieces (a la million-dollar-you-know-what)
Links or link trades from your mainstream sites would be much appreciated. When and if I become unable to see well enough to maintain the site, I'll ask my wife to take over.
