Kathy,
I, too am sorry to hear about the loss of your job, but I'm sure you already know that when God closes one door, he opens a new one (or a window). He has something in store for you, even if it was to be able to spend more time with Reno for these last few days! Lots of dry beans, will fill you up and not cost a lot! (Hey, I've been there many times, lol!) Who knows, maybe you'll be spotted at the EMM and someone will want you to work for them, and you're free to do so! There is ALWAYS a silver lining to all clouds, you just have to look into the sun to see it! I do wish you luck in finding a sponsor, so bring a photo of Reno and your smiling face and hit the streets! Hey, do you have any kids?? You could ask WalMart to sit outside collecting donations! just a thought, or how about a car wash??? I know you'll get something going, just don't think any idea is too silly or won't work.......it only doesn't work if you don't try it!! Good luck and keep us posted! YOU are AWESOME!!!!
