I am a business owner in the Greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. I am committed to helping others by sharing my passion for making things and creative expression. The ability to make something (cutting board, dining table, bird house, etc) is extremely rewarding, therapeutic, and ATTAINABLE.
We all see videos on Youtube about making various projects and DIY endeavors. However, a lot of people feel limited for many reasons - no space, not enough $$ for the tools/equipment, "lack of creativity", hands on experience, etc. It's far too easy to get stuck thinking about the "buts" and "I can't because..." It has been my primary focus to help others to overcome these "obstacles".
I own and operate my own company which specializes in woodworking, welding, and other forms of crafting. I have offered classes, group trainings, family days and one on one instruction (free and paid) in the past - and NOW we are working to take this to the next level - We NEED YOUR HELP!!
My wife and I are diving head first and asking for your assistance. This isn't about us - it's about you. The community. We are and will continue to do everything in order to provide this opportunity to all.
We recently purchased a building with the sole intention being to offer more classes, more workshops, more family days, exposure and events geared towards people of all walks of life, any age regardless of financial abilities and catering to any disability.
It is imperative that anyone, regardless of any limitation - money, age, disability - Real or Imagined. It is our mission to provide everything needed in order to provide this opportunity to all.
We provide the space, the tools, the materials, the training, and supervision/assistance - and a positive environment that is encouraging you (and your family, friends, coworkers, community, etc) to learn new skills, build on your relationship(s) and create something beautiful.
We purchased the building on our own and are currently working daily to repair the property as well as improve it. We will be running the business (woodworking) Monday-Friday (except for events) to provide funds necessary to grow the outreach and sharing efforts of this program. Our goal is to make it FREE, or as close to free as possible.
you can contribute via our paypal link here ( paypal.me/jdworks )
Why are we asking for your help?
We need help generating these initial funds for building/property repairs and improvements. We have already cleared the building of the old junk and debris. We have started with framing and insulation of the exposed brick walls and we have begun to update the electric as well.
We are in need of additional funds to: add a ramp to accommodate many of our future guests, replace the garage door, replace the main door and front window.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated and all supporters will be named on our Founder's Wall of Fame. A little token of our appreciation and a constant show of your support.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and we look forward to sharing with you and the community very, very soon.

I've been in a rut lately due to depression and have slipped behind on paying my friend's mom whose phone plan I'm on.
I have a job, but I work online from home under my own schedule which doesn't always work well when you're unmotivated by mental illness.
I owe her the money tomorrow and would really appreciate it if you could even help out with $1.
I don't want to have to make her wait another week because this is the second payment I've missed and she doesn't just use it for the phone bill, it also helps her out with groceries and necessities.
But I've been going through therapy and am going to get back on track tomorrow.
If you help out, thank you so much. You are wonderful and I appreciate it.

My name is Ally. My story isn't a rare one and it's my own fault but I'm a bit desperate and I just thought this couldnt hurt to try.
I lost work the last few months and hit rock bottom.. backed up on rent and bills. I say it's my own fault cuz well, bad business decisions. I don't know where else to turn and I now find myself on this site.. asking total strangers for help. Any little help you can spare.
In addition to the extra work I'm doing to dig myself out of this hole, I need an extra $3500 to cover back payments. It's a lot. I do a lot of volunteer work, donating my time to the community but I recognize what a huge gesture it is to donate your hard earned money.
Thank you so much to your crazy big hearts and I will find a way to pay it forward one day.
[font=.SF UI Text][font=.SFUIText]Hi or Hello, Please help, my girlfriend leaves me after 9 months being together. I was living on the street for many years, I am still young, I am 30 years old, then I got to a hospital last year, and for the first time in 15 years a woman fell in love with me, she disn’t know that I was homeless, we stayed together in hospital for 2 weeks. Then I got out, I was sure I would never see her again when I told her that I am to sleep in a car park. But she told me to come and speak to her, she says, we’ll find a solution.I couldn’tgo to her because she lives in a social hotel herself and it is not allowed for visitors to come. Every day I was sure she would leave me but she was just saying to me to try to make money. So I started coming and helping people in their gardens sometimes they would pay me, and soon I bought an old little utility car that you can see on the image. I still sleep there, month after month I was trying to put little money aside that people would pay me for helping them with gardens, and my girlfriend would come and stay with me in the car for hours sometimes but she was telling me all the time that she wouldn’t stand coming seeing me in a car forever. I told her to leave me many times but she didn’t she says she couldn’t leave me like that. But 1 month ago our relationship started to become worse and worse, now she went to her family in England we haven’t seen each other for two weeks, we spoke on the phone yesterday and she told she cannot stand it anymore, she was with me for 9 months and I didn’t rent a room, she says I am so poor, she says to leave her alone, that I make her suffer.It was the second girlfriend in my life. The fist one I had before I got homeless 10 years ago. She really hoped I would do something for our relationship but I didn’t. I tryed to work every little job that people offered me but it wasn’t enough. It all happens in a suburban Parisian area, she comes back from her family in England in 3 days back to France and she says it is over between us, because she cannot live with me in a car. I just love her so much and I know that she loves me as well but her family told her to leave me if I cannot rent a room. I am destroyed by emotions. If you need to get in contact with me please write me I will give you the phone number and we can make a video call if you want I’ll show you how I live. And how I am dying without her. I speak English and French, sorry my name is Nikolai, I didn’t present myself. My contact is niko.g.est.88.ie.f@gmail.com sorry it sounds like a password II like them weird email adressses, my paypal link is http://PayPal.me/nikolaime I already have the social welfare but it is 370€ per month in my case so please don’t advise me to look for welfare payement. Just help me to get my girlfriend back before she forgets me. I am sorry to ask you but I need money to rent a room. Then I’ll pay for it somehow[/font][/font]
