I got approved by NCCA as one of their beneficiaries for cash assistance for writers! I thought that I will never get anything since I was not even provided a subsidy for solo parents from DSWD.
I also feel blessed that I'm getting more clients these days so I can earn more. Now I really feel that I am a real writer since that organization recognized me as one of the local writers.
They will wire the money this week and I'm going to add it for my plan to have an online business soon.

Grats on getting the financial assistance.
Might apply for one as well. Our city is giving financial assistance even for those who are working and those that did not qualify under the special amelioration program. Hopefully, I get approved. The extra cash will come in handy.

@cherriefic true.
Didn't bother applying for SAP since I work from home. This new financial assistance from the city is for everyone so they say. So will give it a try.

@allen0187 That's a good idea. It's hard to get any assistance since were working from home.

Thanks! I prayed hard for this since I didnt get SAP. It's best to have something extra especially during these times.

Congratulations for getting a stimulus package. I got one too but didn't last long. Can't believe corruption going through DSWD.

They are really doing it while everyone is in the middle of the pandemic. Good thing there are other ways to get some assistance.

@ridingbet No, I'm not. I find my own clients when it comes to writing jobs. I also write some novels.
