Hey have been through a lot during the past 25 years of my life. Most recently I survived a breast cancer scare and went through surgery and radiation treatments. I am trying to retire as I was approved for my disability just recently. However they reduced the amount of money that I was getting from the state-run "Old Age Pension" pension and then switched me over to SSI and SSA which is so confusing to me but in any case I'm getting a lot less than I was before. The short and tall of it is bad I need extra funding in order to survive. I live alone I have no family in this country no husband or children. I have been teaching at a public and charter schools here for around 20 years now. All grades all subjects. I specialized in high school music and foreign language mentorships. But I suffered spinal fusion and many other physical and medical issues. I will soon be able to get some "home help care" through my Medicaid and I'm going to physical therapy every week. I would like to raise an extra $500 a month so that I can keep a roof over my head and pay my bills. I know that I'm allowed to earn up to 1600 a month and not lose any benefits that's what the SSA told me. But I certainly cannot live on what they are offering me and I can't work right now at all. I have a condition on all of my fingertips and I can't really use my fingers. I have difficulty with an ankle a toe and a knee never mind the back and hips. I've been wobbling along with my two canes and have managed to survive so far but I could use a little extra to make my world a little more stable. My goal is to set up a small Music School right here in my home where I have an upright piano and a digital keyboard. I need a few things to put together to make it a wonderful and complete educational experience for the students. I will take students only privately here at my house once I can get the room set up properly. Thankfully I have a home help aid coming soon.
