RE: Fundraising a Home for Peg and Pegasus
Good luck Pegasus. I hope you can find a way to figure things out. Traveling across the country certainly ins't cheap. Any way you can apply for some jobs ahead of time so you might be able to be sure of income when you get there? bex crosses everything you find a solution
Fortunately, it's not all the way across the country (like new york to l.a.)... just across a couple of states (makes it a little cheaper... but only just a little). It's actually only a 17 hour drive - which I could do no problem if I had a car.
In fact, if I had car, I'd be gone. I wouldn't have internet for a while, but I'd drive out of here and live in my car for as long as necessary. I'm no stranger to showering in a public bathroom sink.
Considered renting a car and driving my stuff, because I could fit it all in something like Nissan Rogue... but it actually came out to the same price as flying myself and shipping my stuff. shrug
Accommodations whilst I search for an apartment are a big chunk of that budget due to hotel prices... But maybe I can catch a special on that.
I'm not sure if I can really apply for those jobs without being there, but I'll check. I don't have any qualifications, so I have to take entry level work. And there's so much competition, you kinda have to be available yesterday.
If I could just get there... sigh
Renting might be cheaper for taking Peg.
Hmm... Maybe. Would have to drive from Colorado to Appalacia and back... rental fees, insurance, gas prices, toll booths, food... Might come out to the same price.
Rhonda mentioned "sometime Pilots -n- Paws will fly them for free," so definitely going to pursue that.
