Greetings Everyone,
I just recently moved to California from the East Coast. I am a college grad and artist who has been actively seeking employment in the L.A. area but still has nothing. I only saved up enough money to last me four months since I moved out here ( thinking I would have a job within 3-4 moths) However, due to the job market and my student loan bills, rent, & car notes, I ran out of money and since I haven't been able to get a regular job I've made the decision to follow my passion and start my own graphic design/childrens' illustration business. However, I cannot afford to take out any small business loans.
If any of you know of any charitable organizations/ or individuals that would be willing to donate or invest in my business I would greatly greatly appreciate any leads. Or if any of you have or know of anyone with graphic design software programs to donate, it would be such a blessing. The materials that I need to start my business are a Mac Book Pro, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Quark Xpress, Adobe Illustrator CS4 or the Adobe Creative Suite.
For anyone who reaps into my dream, I will SURELY show you my gratitude by doing any website/ or graphic design work/ or illustrative work you may need for free.
Most Gracious,
Xia :)
