That's sweet to hear! Right now I live in the SF Bay Area on $2700/month PT, so I'm used to being thrifty.
and being a active/helpful part of the community will get you into that network...but if you must have a certain food prepped a certain way ...well that may end up costing you more than you may expect...
I would certainly want to volunteer any useful skills if they were needed...I work in non-profits and basically do that anyway. And no, I'll eat anything but liver, if it's cooked.
Again, mahalo to all for your insights. EDIT: don't know what happened to the formatting here...?
