“Destiny Mathis, a single mother of three from Indiana, wrote to the president that even though she graduated at the top of her college class and worked for years as a surgical technologist, she had lost her job in January after complications with her pregnancy. “I am so afraid this dreaded economy is going to have my family homeless,” she wrote, according to NBC5, the Chicago network affiliate. Mathis is now weeks away from being evicted from her home.
The president wrote back a handwritten note on White House stationery. “Please know that things will get better for you and your family,” he said.
The 26-year-old is now selling the note to Gary Zimet, who has sold eight other letters from the president so far for up to $20,000 on his site, Moments in Time. He’s asking for $11,000.”
That is a nice profit…… A little effort sometimes goes a long way. She traded in TIME and the tiny cost of postage for $11,000…. That’s equivalent to putting a dollar in the slot machine in Vegas and hitting the jackpot.

Howdy, i read your sitio occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
intense debate or askimet
I’m impressed, I must say. Actually not often do I encounter a blog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is outstanding; the problem is one thing that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I’m very completely satisfied that I stumbled across this in my search for something referring to this.
