    Default my crazy idea inspired by save karen

    I have a crazy new idea inspired by savekaryn.com (ty tg) I am sure many of you have heard her story, this woman was 20k (somewhere around there) in DEBT! She decided put up her website, savekaren, to ask for peoples help via donations to help her get out of debt. This woman received so many donations that she did get out of debt!

    This has inspired me to do a similar website, I dont want to whine and cry about my debts or have a pity party, so I have not released it just yet, but last year I was in the hospital (uninsured) and racked up 50k in medical bills, along with all of life's other bills, it has become very overwhelming. I am looking into a bankruptcy but in the meantime, I have this thought:

    I want to start a website and see if people will donate a house to me! Unlike savekaryn, I would accept donations for my rent and bills now, so I can work and wipe out my medical debt and live rent free in the meantime. If I was to get a HOUSE that is FREE and PAID OFF, I would only have to pay the property tax. If I had NO RENT PAYMENT, I would finally be able to tackle my medical debt. You see what I am getting at?

    I know this is taking cyberbegging to the extreme, I know I will get alot of people upset, and yes, I know that there are people in far worse situations then I am!

    BUT who knows, there may be someone out ther with a house they dont want, who would give it away! YOU NEVER KNOW!!! LOL

    Thoughts please, and don't hold back, I want the good bad and ugly.

    I do think she has the right idea, I have been doing it wrong all along, Camming in exchange for money, when I could just be writing nice emails in return for donations. LOL

    There are a lot of people who like to help out others where they can.
    Some people need help more than others... but if you need help, you need help and there's no harm in throwing out the idea that "hey, if you want to help me... feel free!"

    My take:

    Can I steal this idea as well? I think it's brilliant. You can market this anywhere and bank. Would you use your real identity though or would you create a separate identity from your cam persona? With this , I think you should refrain from anything adult (No webcam ads, none of that)... ya know?

    Again.. brilliant.

    Karyn rocks! I have been thinking about this for months, but never acted on it. There are tons literally tons of vacant, abandoned homes out there that need people to live in them! If I did this and succeeded, I would help others especially the truly needy, start websites of their own like this! Yes you can steal this idea, and change it up a bit. I will be quite frank and say I have looked into sites like supportmywish and the others like it, I am not into selling photos of myself to god knows who, etc. I figure if someone truly wants to help you, they will do so and ask for nothing in return.

    This is my course of action:
    I would definately make a persona, but I would have a few pics of myself (normal discreet pics) and my cute lil doggies. I want them to feel they are a part of my life as I go thru the process, but protect my true identity. My site would have a blog, etc. It will have nothing to do with my cam identity, I completely agree I must keep the two seperate!

    I don't want it to have to do with anything adult, I dont want people trying to ask me to send nudie pics for donations, etc. I dont want guys to say sure you can have the keys to my home if I can come in and fuck you when I want. I may promote the page to a few close regulars (whales only) but id rather keep it seperated from anything adult related and see where it takes me. I especially do not want the people on my donations/home site, to know I am in camming or have been in porn, it will give everyone a bad idea. I want to share my story, and see if people will help me.

    I have never had a place to call home, for real. I have been in and out of foster care, moved around several times across the usa, never got to settle down, and due to this medical situation, my dream of owning a home has been truly squashed.

    What I would do to start is have a page dedicated to DONATING A HOME. I would have another page to accept donations to help with my bills and rent NOW, until I get a home donated. What I think, is you never fucking know. You never do and you never will know unless you try it. I could post this and it could very well happen, you never know with the internet, anything is possible!

    Then, If say I do get a home donated, I will have people start donating to help renovate the home, and start my homestead and business. A homestead is a completely self reliant home. I want this for my future. I want to get back to the land, garden and grow a majority of my own food, etc and have a home based legit non adult business. This is freedom to me: NO rent payment, NO bills, NO food payment, NO camming/adult work any longer.

    Karyn has accomplished her goal of 20k in donations for her debt, so her site is not open any longer accepting donations. You can wiki her and see she is now an accomplished author, etc. She has moved on from savekaryn and since she was able to get out of debt, she now helps others with her books, etc to get out of debt as well. Her site savekaryn is no longer active, she claims she did reach her goal of 20k. She has even been on television from her savekaryn site years ago. The woman is a genius. She took alot of flack, but many were intrested in helping her and she did get that 20k! She took a straightforward approach, and straight out said I need help, help me, and people did! It amazes me and is inspiring hahaha!

    Hey I'm with you all the way on this one! It seems I'm going to do the exact same thing and see where it goes. With my marketing skill, especially this being a non-adult venture, I'm sure I will see some good results.

    But it is kinda sad, other people need way more help then this woman who racked up 20k debt for clothes and shoes. I think needy people could really benefit from cyberbegging, but the uber poor do not even have much computer access I knw I will get alot of flack from haters but fuck them! I know people are in much worse situations, but I am not asking them to help. I am asking people to help that have the money, have a 50k home that does not matter to them, etc. I will put a disclaimer like this on my website, in better terms of course.

    Seriously I am so tired of working in adult, but right now I must do what I have to do do pay the bills. If I had a home donated to me and only had to pay property tax, and/or all of my rent, bills and medical bills were paid, I could invest all of my camming money into the small business I want to own in the future and wipe out this terrible medical debt. Unlike karyn, I would not ask for donations for some credit card debt. Medical debt is a real life issue and this happens to thousands of uninsured people. I have no choice but to go thru a bankruptcy due to it. BUT there is no way in hell I could leave camming now, I could never get out of the medical debt at all or own a home in the future with my medical debt the way it is! It has been so hard. 50 k in medical debt can truly ruin someones life and future. Before this I was on my way to homeownership and owning my small business, but now my dreams have been squandered. It sucks and has been hard, but things are looking up. I am going to go thru the bankruptcy for the medical debt and wipe that slate clean,. Within two years I could look into home ownership again. As much as I hate to say it, my medical debt is an eye opener, although it happened and the circumstances are out of my control, I know when it is all over my future will change for the better. BUT if I could get a home donated, all of this would change, after bannkruptcy, id have no medical bills, no rent payment, very little normal bills to deal with, and I would be set freeee for once in my life!

    Cyberstripper, I will say this. Do NOT feel guilty. Do NOT! You won't be forcing anyone to give you money. People can donate IF they want. I think it's a fantastic idea! I too am tired of working in the adult industry though I love what I do. I would love to own my own non-adult business. I'm sick of dealing with pervs.. I mean.. damn! I would love to go one day without dealing with half of the shit I deal with from camming to escorting (more camming) but it's life .. for now.

    So yes I'm with you all the WAY. I think the idea is brilliant. It's better than panhandeling on the street (Geez!). I have too much pride to even think about that but this? I'm online most of the time anyway so why not?

    Just a note, medical bills are way easy to settle on. I had about 5K in med bills and only ended up paying half or so. Just call them up and tell them that you can't afford to keep paying on them, ask if you can make a deal. Especially good are deals for "immediate partial self payment"

    Like, I had one bill for 800 and some change. They called me since I'd missed a payment and were a bit forceful about getting it. I complained that I only had 250 in my checking account right then. The woman paused for a second and said, "250 spare?" I said, "No, not really spare. Why?" She said that if I gave her 230something right then on the phone she'd call it even and cancel the debt out. I told her I'd give her the whole 250 if I got a letter in the mail saying the debt was canceled and if she forwarded me on to her supervisor who corroborated the story.

    So the phone bill went unpaid for another week or so and I paid off that entire 800$ for 250$!

    It totally works, especially if you have just a little bit of spare money that you can send them now, today.
