May 27, 2010 1:28pm CST
Hello, I quit my job to start a new higher paying job. In the same week I broke my leg and just found out I need surgery. I was supposed to start my new job on Monday. Spoke with new job manager and found out they have to fill the position. My doctor advised me to stay home with my leg up. I need to make money/work from home. Any ideas on how to make enough money to cover bills and medical expenses. Please help..........?

My friend, are you the bread winner of the family? Is somebody else in your household also working? I know how you feel, I felt the same when I lost my job more than 2 years ago. You know what I have found out? There are many opportunities to earn income from home on the web, more than we ever know! Do you have a fix internet connection or are you just renting out in a cafe? If you have your own internet connection in your home, I suggest exploring the web for possible opportunities for you to earn income from home through the internet. Have you heard of blogging and the income opportunities associated with it? You can earn money from blogging telling the world your stories, your struggles in life and how you are bravely fighting with it. Remember, never ever give up. You'll make it. :)

Yeah. I understand that. It's like you were put into a prison cell. It's really hard to cope up but I believe you will be able to overcome it.

I am all over ebay I sell different types of items. My old job like my new requires me to be mobile, and at this point I am not allowed to move my leg around. I want to work, my life is so much easier going to work everyday.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I broke my ankle once, and can only imagine what it would be like to have a broken leg. One site you may want to check out is gather.com. It is similar to mylot. It doesn't pay a whole lot but every little bit will help. I hope you find some good things to do.

Hello Mickey...I felt sorry for what happen to your leg and you already lost two job already and the most painful is that the new one is supposed to give you a much higher salary. Sometimes life is cruel and ready to smack you down when the least you expected it. But then the good thing is that it did not broke your fighting spirit. I don't have much site to share with you except for here in Mylot the most trusted one and the other site which I'm working at almost everyday. I can give you the link to the other site if you are interested. It's legit and paying me in euro not big but enough for me. Just give me a message.

Hi, Sorry to hear what happened. But dont worry if you have a decent computer and internet connection, there are a lot of things you can do in the internet to earn cash. I'm a father of 3 kids and I work at home. There are some sites that act as middle men for small business that look for home based workers. Check out odesk.com(hope this doesnt get me banned) Regards

Oh boy. That's hard. I wish you could find some work online that will give you enough earnings to help you while you are recovering from that injury. You can log on to Digital Point and see if there are any jobs you could do there. There are a lot of legit work announced in that site. Try it.

Have you filled-up the contract already on that new job? It's so unfair on your part. I think all you have to do is rest and get well. I don't suggest online earning, it will only give you a minimal earnings.
