Ilive in an area where there are limited employment options and when I lost my job a year ago, I started a business of my own, cooking meals for people, to make ends meet. It is hard going, but I am making progress with that. But I need a job that keeps money coming in for times like now when I have only a few clients and far more expenses than income. I have an opportunity to get work taking photographs for real estate agents. I am able and intersted in the job- this is the first thing that's come along in a long time that I can see a future in- except I do not have the right equipment. ( they have said they would hire me if I was set up and ready to go) I have been trying to find someone to loan me equipment while I get started- once I get going I will be able to afford to purchase the equipment myself. I have had so many setbacks this year, I could really use a boost. Today my car was hit by a large SUV in a parking lot. The damage was all to my small vehicle and will cost me whether I go through insurance or not- there goes my chance of getting a camera. My house is currently up for sale because my partner and I are splitting up- when the house is sold I will be on my own to make a living and I so desperately need to get on my feet. ( Once the house sells, I will also be in a better position to buy the equipment I need.)
I have looked on Ebay, and think I could get the equipment I need for around $750. I don't know what kind of help to ask for here.. I wish someone could just loan me a camera, flash lens and tripod! Thanks for reading this.
