More info on 'Eye Surgery'... is it elective laser surgery so you don't need glasses anymore? if so - no way buddy.. or is it more serious, non-elective surgery?

Wisdom teeth could wait if its not serious right, in the mean time try to get part-time jobs work 2-3 jobs if you have to and help pull your family through this!

Can we donate to you? I'll be glad to help out a bit.

^this, if you have family or friends maybe they could help you out.
Not much else you can do just gotta fight threw your hard times man.

OK sorry, here's more info:

Wisdom teeth were paid for months ago and are getting done this wednesday. That isn't too bad, as I get a medical rebate on the operation.

The eyes, on the other hand, are totally different. I suffer from a disease called Keratoconus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratoconus


I have no choice with the eye sugery, as if I dont get it soon, I could potentially go blind. The sugery I will undergo is known as 'cross-linking'. This surgery is under clinical trial in Australia, and has only existed since 2002. Because of this, it is not possible to claim a medical rebate. This is all happening between this Wednesday and the middle of february next year. which will make it difficult for me to get a job as I will need to take several weeks off in the meantime. Hence, why I'm asking for ideas on what I could do while I don't have work.

Hope that clears things up a bit, if you have any more questions, let me know and I'll be happy to answer them
Thanks,

Nick.

Wow... Dude I hope you get well real soon. Id love to donate a small amount though. Is it possible?

Yeah just see if you can get a job or a few for the next two months, how much will your step dad earn from here until christmas and why can't he get another job/why is his job ending?

Edit: Just read your second post, perhaps your mum could find some job which allows her to work from home or doesn't depend on her being mobile such as some sort of admining? Or I guess that would mean she loses her income protection, actually wouldn't she be able to get 2500 from income protection over the next two months?

To be honest, anything at the moment is tremendously helpful, but I want it to be known that I dont expect donations from anyone. They would help, but I also understand that I need to do things myself as well. For instance, if anyone knows of jobs going that could be done from home, they would be great at the moment.

It's just something Id like to do to help you I love helping people out, so I wouldnt mind donating a small sum.

1) Buy a web cam

2) take off clothes

3) ???

4) Profit

You could try coaching some lower level players?

BSG. Even $10/15 an hour could add up to a few hundred towards your total if you promote yourself right, and you think coaching is something you could do well.

After a certain amount of time Wisdom teeth do need to be pulled out or else they'll push against your other teeth which makes them go crooked.


Have you considered getting a credit card? Taking out a loan?

She would be able to get approximately that, but there are other payments, not just my medical expenses that are the issue. Think house payments/car payments/food/fuel/phone bills etc. If she does find a new job, she isn't able to claim the income protection and will be getting less money.

My step dad's case, he is almost 60. We live in a small country town, where there is little work. His current job (working on farms/driving bulldozers, etc.) will run out of work for an undetermined period of time as of 2 days after christmas. He has been applying for new jobs pretty much daily for the past 2 years, and because of his age and qualifications, they don't really take much notice of him.

I think that would probably be the best option for the moment, however the 'pros' often charge less than that, whilst giving better advice. I think I will also start streaming daily, and try to build up a decent viewerbase to the point where ads pay, but that would be a lot of viewers, would it not?

@OSFractal, thanks mate, that would help out so much.

@Richard, I would rather not get a credit card, as I can get a job in a few months, and I don't want to have an incredible debt piled up. Plus, without a job I don't think I would be eligible for a credit card. Also, my wisdom teeth are at the stage where they have to come out because my teeth are beginning to crowd.
