A Vegetarian Cookbook woe

I'm so exhausted, and still very much in pain.  Its been six weeks and I still hurt like the day of the surgery. My back is killing me worse than my car accident.   And Maxim-the nursing agency has already 5 strikes against them since they claimed they can staff 24/7  and yet...they already have failed.  

So I sent an email out to friends and family to help us purhase the book SAVING OUR SON'S-ONE STORY AT A TIME- with hopes to raise funds to buy a wheel chair lift for the van.  But that looks like that will have to be put away for now as I owe so much to the Morris Publishing  (cookbook) that it looks like I need to send the funds to them and break my back with Tim's power wheelchair by pushing it up into the van.  I guess my health wellbeing is not all that important.  but then again if I don't have some kind of assistance for Tim I will be no good for Tim or anyone else or for anything else.  I can't lift those boxes as it is anyhow but now for sure!! I can't sell cookbooks if I'm in extreme pain. 

But it looks like I'm forced to pay them, which I totally understand. I'm not disputing it.  But you can't squeeze blood from a dry beet! Know what I mean?  It makes me sick. totally.  It brings me to tears that people I trusted has pretty much betrayed me and left me out to dry.  With  very little or not help at all -no support.  Its all I hear- excuses....excuses...and more excuses. 

I am on disability. With that I have to somehow pay my rent, try to pay the electric bill since Tim is on a ventilator 24/7=365 days a year.  I live off of $59 of food stamps a month.  But its like NO one gives a sh**.   I have to fight for me and Tim to survive.   I feel people I trusted has abandoned me and left me out to dry. 

I need to sell these cookbooks. I have about 400 of them left.  Right now they are selling for the low cost of $14 (plus shipping).  It is a delightful Vegetarian Cookbook with lots of delicious recipes in them. 

It looks like I may have to raise the cost soon since we owe the publisher so much due to interest. Sadly. I don't want to but maynot have a choice.  

So anyone who is reading this, whether you have one or not, please purchase one or more. They are wonderful as gifts.  But you can please please please help us sell the cookbooks. Tell your friends about it too.  Go to: http://from-heart-to-home.blogspot.com/  to purchase by pay pal. 

Thank you!
