I cannot live without FAMVIN appearing daily on and in my email. It is my shot in the arm, the heart, the head, the whatever I need.
Now, is there like some section that gives me a list of what people are doing to help those who are barely surviving and yet, live on?
Or maybe a place where I can list the problems I cannot solve for people I meet, and someone has an ideas as to how or where or what I can do?
Example: I know a family living on less than $25k/year. Yet, they are being sued for unpaid debt, one of which is theirs, and one of which has been thrust upon them by another who has stolen the social security number and is crediting the debt to the family. How do they break free? Their miniscule income is being garnished.
They can’t afford a lawyer. They need to sue for bankruptcy.
Is there a connection on this site for probono lawyers?gh
