It lifts my spirits so much and is a wonderful substitute for working, for myself that is. I have not volunteered in quite a while and hope to get back into volunteering. ----------- Hi Becky; If your condition is keeping you from working, it's time to apply for disability. That's what it's there for. It would sure help your financial situation. Why not check out www.ssa.gov and see what you can do? I had to fight for several years to get it on my own without a lawyer and now have it. I suggest getting a lawyer. It reduces the wear and tear of doing it alone. As far as volunteering goes, I know it's a noble thing, but I want to be paid for my time. I know that sounds terrible to some, but I'm highly trained and my dream is money under the table. So far, no go, but I can still hope. I'm in pretty bad shape and keep the house going for my husband. That takes up most of my day. I guess I do volunteer work at home...haha.
