David Fleming hasn't added a story.
My name is David Fleming. I live in Southern Oregon and just went back to school to earn an AAS in "Computer Support", but I have had a hard time finding a job with just a degree and very little recent experience in the field.
At the same time, I am an aspiring Science Fiction writer. I believe strongly that science is the key to solving many if not most of our societal problems. It has become important to me to do what I can to encourage interest in science, innovation, and exploration. I am very close to finishing my first book. I hope it will inspire others to explore and create. If I am lucky, it may also become a backup source of income during lean times.
In the meantime, I still need a place to live. I have been selling plasma to pay some of my bills but it is not enough to pay the rent or my transportation expenses. I feel like I have already borrowed too much from my family, and I have exhausted most forms of public assistance.
I need help to meet my basic living expenses while I work to finish my first book and find a job. My needs are modest, but the bills are starting to pile up. I have hope. I do my best to nurture the feeling that I will succeed in my job search any day now. In the meantime, May is half gone and I don't have any way to pay my rent next month. I may also be forced to sell my car soon because I can't pay the car loan or insurance anymore.
Any help is appreciated. If you believe my cause is worthy but cannot afford to help right now, please help spread the word about my campaign. Thank you!
