Before when he was living with his parents, he was out in an area with a bunch of horse stables and he grew up working with them. He's been trying to find some that need some assistance, but I'll tell him to expand his look for any agricultural farms in the area.<br /><br />Vicki - Thanks for the thoughts and words. I hope your daughters find their way through this mess, too.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693010249539310687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754822318653272748.post-4024558107044330282009-05-31T23:03:39.942-04:002009-05-31T23:03:39.942-04:00I really do feel for all...and I can only imagine ...I really do feel for all...and I can only imagine how distressing and dismal it seems for all of the/you younger people...I have 2 daughters, ages 26 and 28 and they are certainly struggling...just trying to stay afloat thru everything. Stressful? Very...no one should make light of the situation, that's for sure, yet keep the faith, things will turn around someday.Vicki (nonaofsav)http://piecesofmylife-victoriag.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754822318653272748.post-51634863912791755112009-05-31T23:02:24.299-04:002009-05-31T23:02:24.299-04:00Like you I am fortunate to have family who can hel...Like you I am fortunate to have family who can help me if I need it. In fact, right this moment I am spending every dime I have and going into debt because I had the opportunity to study abroad, and I refuse to let the failing economy take away my life dream. When I get home? Who knows. I don't know anything about you (because I just came here from Ravelry) but if you live in a more rural area your friend may be able to find a farm with a CSA that will allow him to work for room and food. I know there are a few in my area who always have that situation going, and now is the time of year when farms really need help! Not only will he have food and a roof, but also he may learn some really valuable stuff about sustainability and farming! Even if he doesn't live near one, maybe he should find one! Desperation is often the beginning of a life changing experience, and it doesn't have to be a bad one!<br /><br />(I'm a bit biased. I grew up on a farm, and I work on another.)<br /><br />We will all get through this, with enough flexibility and open mindedness!Robin Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880324929055546531noreply@blogger.com
