Can You or Someone That You Know Help Me?

OK, this is my problem. I have a neuroligical disorder called Tourette's Syndrome. It makes me have involuntary vocal tics and bodily movements. I am trying to find some work that I can do out of my home. I have had an extremely hard time trying to find some part-time work because of it. I've had to quit daycare, waiting tables, COSTCO, and other places because of it. It's not terribly bad, it just pops out! I have a degree in advertising/marketing from the University of North Texas, and I am VERY frustrated. People will not hire me because sometimes a swear word or two will fly out; which is OBVIOUSLY out of my control. I don't want to sell anything....like Arbonne, Homemade Gourmet or anything. I just want something that I can do from home without being harrassed. I have a 2 yr old as well, and I'm trying to work from home because I can't afford daycare. Does anyone know if anyone needs help running errands, typing, some sort of secretarial job, or anything that I can do? I can schedule appointments or do mailings for a realtor....ANYTHING! I live in Argyle, and I'm willing to go and get the work if I need to. God bless, and thanks for your responses.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks to everyone that has responded. Although, I have gotten a lot of feedback, nothing has gone through. If anyone else knows something that I can do at home for a company or doctor's office or anything, in the future, please let me know. Thanks again for all your support!

I have been thinking about your email and how I can help. I have been trying to start a home based business. Tired and worn out from my corporate --stressful job as well as trying to start a business and take care of a 6 month old is hard. If you are interested. It would be great to have someone that could help me get this whole thing off the ground. I can only offer part time work currently. Probably 10 to 15 hours a week. The job would be cutting out bibs, dresses, burp rags, ect. as well as doing some mailings. You could do it at your house. Let me know if you are interested - my email is ____@____.com.

My cousin lives in Argyle and is starting a catering business out of her home. I am sure she could use some help with organizing menus, set-ups, etc. Would something like that interest you?

A.,

I'm sorry I don't have any quick answers for you. I too want to work at home and am still searching for that opportunity. The closest thing I've found is becoming a certified medical transcriptionist. I do know several moms who are either completing their course or are already doing it. The make good money and some companies will pay you full benefits as if you go there every day. A counselor at one of the colleges said it was a very good thing to get into right now. I haven't checked into enough to give others advice but I do believe some of the colleges offer these classes online. The draw back is that it is not an immediate fix. God bless you & your family.

Hi A.,
I am just making some suggestions. First let me say, my heart and soul goes out to you and your family and I am goign to add you to our prayers.
If you are at home now already with your 2 yr. old can you keep other children in your home?
If a tic comes do you know it's coming to allow you to turn away or walk a few feet away?
You can become listed for home daycare in the state of Texas to keep 3 unrelated children in your home. It's time for an orientation which is free and then I think $25 to be listed.
Then keep a few kids at home. You can also be registered too. That comes with a home inspection. You can check out the info. on http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/ if your interested.
This is what I did. I had to quit my job last summer because of lupus and Trigeminal Neuralgia (a nerve disorder) and I stay home now. I am listed with the state and keep children and I love it so much I am getting registered. I did also do home childcare when my children where younger so I could be home with them.

Good luck,
T.

Please your pastor know what you are feeling like right now. And then you should ask to post this same letter with the woman committee at your church. It sound as you need some divine help and favor from God. You have a large burden that needs to be address before you become stress out.
Believe me I know what that is like. But, Prayer is definitely on my agenda for you. Of course the specialized help will be in order too. You might want to file for disablity for awhile so you want be stress out financially with someone to assist you at home yourself. Your first priority is yourself. And you have the strength to endure along as you keep your mental sense to think for solutions. Mama's Source is a good place to start your real search. The people on this site will pour out to you in a miracle way. Just be patience and keep your head up. God's has little angel's awaiting your assignment.
I have a particular individual that I would like to refer you to. She is from a organization that called Path Projects has many RESOURCES, her name is Rebecca Hallmark. You can tell I referred you.
She is the bomb of a woman from personal experience.

Hi A.. I know you are going through a struggle. My brother has epilepsy and always had a hard time keeping a job b/c if he had a seizure at work, people looked at him differently. He finally contacted the Epilepsy Foundation and they helped him find a job with a company that supports the Epilepsy Foundation. Have you tried to contact the Tourette's Syndrome Assocation of Foundation? They may have resopurces to help you. Good Luck.

Dear A.,

I have been watching your request and feel compelled to share with you my opportunity. I wanted to invite you to speak with me regarding Arbonne International. It is an entire health and wellness product line, including skincare, make-up, vitamins, weightloss, baby line, etc. I loved the products for 2 years before I started my business and every since I took the "plunge" I have not looked back. I would love a chance to talk to you about the Arbonne Opportunity.
1st level consultant: $75/month
2nd level District Manager: $350/month
3rd level Area Manager: $1,500/month
4th level Regional Vice President: $7,500/mont + $800 car allowance (white Mercedes)- average time to reach this level is 2 years.
5th level National Vice President: $31,000/month +$1000 car allowance (white Mercedes). Average time to reach this level is 5 years.

The best way I know to look at Arbonne is if you work the business what if it doesn't succeed in 2 or 5 years? OR, WHAT IF IT DOES? Studies show that those involved in Network marketing who truly work their business reach the top of their level within 10-years. Isn't it worth the time at $31,000/month. I have done tons of research on Network Marketing and the move it is making in the economic base of the US, and this is turning into a huge marketplace.

Let me know if you are interested. I would love to meet you.& I should also let you know that the majority of my work is done at home, sending emails, hosting presentations at my home (with friends and family), and meeting with other potential business builders. If you can even think of three of your girlsfriends that would benefit from this, then that is your District Manager team... You own your own business, but you are never alone in Arbonne. the training, contacts, and friendships are incredible.

This is a type business that could be started by your 'warm-market' - your closest friends and families and then their business could grow and help you along the way. Opportunities do not come around and are not a dime a dozen, please really think about this opportunity and know that I would LOVE to work with you and help you and work your contacts to build a business that could help you and your family. At Arbonne you are in business for yourself, but NEVER by yourself.

Please let me know if there is ANY interest at all. This opportunity I think would be wonderful for you, and you never know unless you take a chance.

Take care, you are in my prayers. I hope you find something to fit your schedule, needs, etc.

Thanks for sharing.
