You call this poor

I got my first check yesterday. yea it was a little dissapointing. I thought maybe i would be better off as a migrant worker lol. The work is good. i'm not sure why i only recieved $85. Anyway i lived off less. after all i wasnt working for the whole summer. hopefully the nearby shelter  will supply me with dinner until the next check.

o yea my organization is fundraising and wants me to ask you guys for donations. but please send cash because i cant claim anything else on my taxes, i mean THEY cant claim anything on their taxes. so send your money to:

Will, the checks we just got are only for two days, because the pay period was Aug 29 to Sept 11th and we all started on the 8th. So, Paul said we'd get 20% of our regular checks. mine was only $75 and due to me giving Paul the wrong number for my account I haven't gotten it yet.

Our next check will be on October 9th and should be much better, if still not a lot.

Here's the payroll schedule: http://www.ctcvista.org/forms/payroll_schedule

Peace,

Man, that's bad. I haven't worked all summer either, so this check is all I have... but I was lucky: my relocation allowance was tied in. It's paying my rent this month. Hope it works out for you.
