About BachmanBK83

HI, I am like a lot of people in this day and age. I need some help and am having trouble finding any. 3 years ago I got out of the Navy and decided to chase my dream of becoming a musician. It's going well so far, but creating music takes time and effort. I commit a lot of time and passion into my music and I have written over 40 originals and recorded an album or two. I made some pretty poor choices this past year and now I have no money and no job. I've been looking around for a job for a long time, and all the while I have been developing my music. I have come to a point where i know I can use my music to make some money, but, I don't have the appropriate equipment. I need a few hundred bucks to get the equipment, and then I can perform out live and really start making my dream happen. I really need some help financially. The way that things are now, my dream isn't making me any money, and life still has it's demands. Please, please help me get what I need to get pointed in the right direction.

Aidpage group discussing "musician"...

Hello I am a musician and not doing very well.

About phillwix

Hello all. I have been a musician all my life and struggled with paying rent and expenses for my family for years. Through all the jobs I have done in my life I know every aspect of commercial business and also the many aspects of the healthcare industry. I have not been able to secure a day job for a year and the band I play for gets 8 dollars a nite (for myself) for 6 hours of entertainment. I have never been a person to beg but my family is falling apart and I do not think I can make rent this month from the $191 per week Unemployment check which is more than likely going to end after a year. I realize many people have a very simular or worst situation. I am asking for help. If you would like to employ me that would be the best. If you could donate some money we would appreciate it greatly. Go to my web page at phillwix@hotmail.com , you can see who I am. Favors will not be forgotten. Thank you for reading my post.

About Kim:)

For one, the birthday calculator is wrong.  I'm 28 now, not 27.  I'm happily married with 3 children.  I'm a musician. I play violin and guitar.  I also am a singer/songwriter.  I write poetry and short stories.  You can find me on Helium writing my views and opinions on everyday topics.  I'm Irish, and also a Taurus, and a paranormal investigator and spirit sensitive with a love for ghosts.   I'm also a witch, although I haven't practiced my magic as much as I would like, since I now have a family.  I'm an artist.  I draw, and I design my own tattoos.  I love arts and crafts, including cross stitch, looming, and plastic canvas.  I can do virtually anything.  I love to work on my 1969 Mustang.  There's nothing better than gettin down-n-dirty under my car.  I also have a broad knowledge of medical terminology, and am willing to share what I know with anyone who may need my help or advice.  I'm a freelance photographer and writer as well. I was a dancer.  I was forced to quit dancing after 17 years when my knees quit on me and I became disabled.

I am 22 years old and have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old daughter that is the light of my life and another little angel on the way in November.  I am a musician & singing is the one thing that makes me feel good when all else fails. I am a very happy, free-spritited person that can make something good out of all of the bad things that have happened to me. I have had many jobs that range from Bartender to waitress to cashier to factory worker. I need a better job. And am currently unemployed due to my high-risk pregnancy.  I am currently a single mother w/no promising place to live. I left my boyfriend shortly after i found out i was pregnant because he beat me up and put me in the hospital. So, For the past 6 months, i have jumped from the Genesis shelter, to friends & families homes.  And i need a stable environment for me and my children.  Next month i will be going back to school to get my GED and i want to have a place to live while i do this. I am currently living on TANF and it just doesnt pay the bills, let alone pay for a place to live.  So i have been searching for programs, grants, and sponsors on the internet religiously to find a way to pay for housing while going back to school, and im not having much luck.  I am a good person who has just fallen into some bad luck here for the past year and im having a real hard time gettin back on my feet.  I just need some help.

Band Equipment stolen, desperate need of help

The name is "Scumdog".  I am the lead guitarist for a band called "Sins of Past".  Unforunately we had thousands of dollars worth of equipment and instruments stolen.  And if you have ever been a musician you know how devestating this could be.  We are asking for any charitable donations you might be willing to give to help us get new equipment so we can get back out on the road.  Every little bit helps.  Thanks.

We can have a Better World

 

 

The greatest challenge we face is that of leaving this world in better shape than we found it.

I have given it all away with a smile, knowing that I helped people along the way.

Now I need help making my world a bit better, and my hope is that I can someday rise above my current circumstances to help many more.

My biggest dream is to start a camp for people with PTSD. My biggest obstacle is financing. Good jobs are hard to find where I live, though I continue to follow every lead. I wish success for all and hope for success for myself. I can decide to despair or to believe.

I choose to believe.

I am from Colorado but it is amazing how many people who have lived here all of their lives that get no closer to the Rocky Mountains then what they see through the windows of their SUV on there way to Aspen.  I am a business owner that sells commercial office furniture to companies. No kids, never been married, 34 almost 35 and 6'1".  I write piano solos and play at various churches around the region.  A perfect saturday afternoon for me would be a drive up in the mountains for a hike.  Walking along a stream or old abandoned railroad bed and just listening to the earths natural song.  I like to take what I hear or see and turn it into a musical theme or experience.  My songs are just that.  Moments of time that represent various experiences in my life or in the lives of those that are close to me.    Have I ever experienced a perfect day?  no, but I have never had a real bad one either.  The evenings are when I write and play.  Some nights I will go out with friends. I am not a perfect man but I am a good man and I try every day to become a better person.  I will warn you now,  I do smile a lot.  I guess I just always have.
