Not to tear you apart or anything, But we see these REALLY often, And i couldnt help but embolden two parts that made my brain "tick"
A little background, I've been following bitcoins for the last year or so, I've only ever mined litecoins (nowhere near the equipment needed to mine Bitcoins). I've lurked here on and off, and just today decided to register an account.
Why?
I'm desperate. (not that one would need to be to register an account, but in my case..)
I have a family of 5 to support, and up until last year I had done a decent job of supporting us. Early last year I was laid off from my job of 4 years (installing Cable TV). Fortunately, I was able to find work quickly doing some Java programming for a small health care software company - this lasted ~6 months when the owner decided he no longer wanted to work, but would rather cash out and leave. I was able to find part time work to try and make ends meet, and slowly sunk deeper and deeper into debt. Last month, I was able to find a great full time job. Happy ending, right? Not so fast.. In the few months I was working part time, we got behind on quite a few of our bills. At this point, we are living somewhere below "paycheck to paycheck", as in, the bank account is in the red every week, which leads to fees, which lead to more fees and so on.
So what am I looking for? Pretty much anything anyone can spare. We are slowly getting back on our feet, but until we get some kind of boost we are never going to get ahead. I'm willing to provide any proof of our situation if needed (hell, I'll even take a pic with a shoe on my head if it helps.. ).
What can I do to give back? Honestly I have no idea. I'm a decent Java programmer, have experience with Linux, SQL, PHP, a little photoshop/gimp experience - I'm sort of a IT jack of all trades. Anything I can do to help. As far as paying back, we are expecting an inheritance of ~5000 USD at some point in the next 2-3 months, but things are tied up in probate court and I have no way of knowing exactly when everything will be released.
Thanks for your time and advise/suggestions/donations
Also, I know I'm 100% new here, and an absolutely aware that nobody owes me the time of day, let alone anything else. I've turned to family, traditional banks, selling everything we own of value but there's nothing left.

Thanks again!
