A lot can be done when you enlist the help of others.

I was approached by a friend for help and advice. It seams that someone he knew had an accident was was off work. Money was very tight as he had no disability insurance.

I also seams that a circle of friends that wanted to help didn't have any extra cash either.

After a brief brain storming session I came up with a great idea.

Recycling.

This is a rural community and everyone seams to have a pile of old scrap metal. With the price around $180 a ton, it sounded like a great idea. The word was put out and over the next few days the metal flowed in.

I volunteered to haul a load to the scrap yard. My little trailer hauled just over 2 ton of metal. We also collected copper and some aluminum.

The goal was to make the $900 house payment. We did that and had enough for a couple of tanks of gas to boot.

What looked to be a big endeavor, was made easy by asking other to help.

Remember, A helping hand is one of the greatest gifts you can give.
