baileysays : Checked out your site . Very interesting . I agree that it's a terrible shame when people suffering from illness have to not only fight for their lives but also if they survive have the additional battle of how to PAY for the survival . Unfortunately Health Care has become a battleground itself for the forces of Capitalism and Socialism with no clear end in sight . While the capitalist health care model provides us with better drugs , better procedures and expanded options ( all at a profit of course to the provider ) the ability to pay for it all is beyond so many people today even WITH decent insurance . The socialist model would provide health care to all , but would lack in innovation as the incentives would largely be gone to advance health care in the future to the degree we've seen in the past . The answer ? I don't know but that is certainly a subject for rational debate . Your web site certainly addresses alot of need across America . And by the way , you look GREAT in the wig if that's you in the picture to the far left Best Regards : TBB43

well this is all interesting and all but where is the help for us little people just trying to make it. I have a small ballet school in hillbilly town washington. I have had the dream to own my own school all of my life a rough one at that but have always struggled and percivered to make it the best i can. although struggling to feed my own family donating my time and teaching ballet to children for free because their parents cant pay. I am nearly ready to loose my home and business both because i can not find any help. so all of the money that goes overseas ect.... and I was born here raised here and help many children here and i cant find any help when i need it seems somethings wrong with that. I found the american dream by opening my little school but it is all about to be lost. Dont mean to be a drama queen but I really wish someone could advise me on how to get help. the help i need is so minimal to make it it would be so amazingly sad to loose everything when the business is just to the point of making money. one more year and it will profit.
anyway ill get of my depression box thanks for listening

jonna : Is your Company legally incorporated ? And if it is ...is it an S Corp or a regular corporation ? And if so have you considered taking on investors ? In addition many states extend financing to small business to get over the hump so to speak . Here in Maine the Finance Authority of Maine does much to help business , especially business in need .I am sure the State of Washington may have a similar program ...worth checking out with a few phone calls or an internet search . Sometimes simply extending your vision can extend your means . Hope that helps .

dear tbb43 thank you for writing back i would love to have an investor or a partner im just not sure where to find one. the school is not incorporated but the company associated with the school corps de ballet is a non profit corp. I am awaiting a call back from the local neighborhood action program i have heard they have some business councling maybe they know where to go here. due to single parenthood for many years and difficulot clurcumstances by credit stinks so i cant do what the normal person does and ge a small loan it limits what i can do,
thank you so much for your encourgemant

The why not give the money to those that can benefit the most. Inner city school systems that have always been left behind when it is time to move to the forefront. Or helping people get heath care insurances.
What this guy is doing  think is great how many of us would truly give these types of funds if we had all this money?

Hey Clifford Dong(I mean Long)! Good job on the sarcastic reply to all of my posts. Too bad it came TWO months after my last post!!! Does it take you that long to get hard too Clif Dong? Shit, you want to talk about the boat sailing in 5 minutes? Something about you tells me you have missed the boat your whole life!!!
