I can't bring myself to eat.

It seems like a long time, because in a crisis or even a difficult situation it is a long time. But that doesn't mean that it will be an insurmountable task to get to the appointment. :)

The BRAT diet might help, but that is more for easy digestion rather than the ability to get it down... That said it is probably a good place to start. If the bananas aren't doing the best then try applesauce. :)

Hi Caroline,

Thank you for reaching out.

What I would recommend in the short term is getting some Ensure/Boost meal supliments. That should help get you some needed nutrients.

That, however, is not a long term solution. What you need to do is go and talk to your doctor right away. They would have a better idea of what is going on and be able to help get you a permanent solution to this problem. :)

I do apreciate the help :) but I don't think that these reflect the company. Though we are an auction company, we're not an auction company....

Basically how it all works is:

The process starts with our sales reps. They go to stores, arenas, hospitals, bars, etc. and convince them to support a charity from our list by becoming an Easel Host. Some of the charities include: London Health Sciences Centre, and the Cancer Society of Canada. They donate a 5โ€™ x 5โ€™ section of floor space to place an easel, and in return the donation to the charity is made in their name.
The easel has on it a piece of art, or merchandise that is up for auction, and changed every two weeks. The customers then place their bids, with a $200 minimum bid. Then once every 6 months the money is donated to the charities.

Would the auction be for goods or services? I wouldn't mind purchasing something knowing the money would be used to support not for profits.

Goods. Paintings/photographs/artwork/sports paraphernalia/etc.
Unfortunately the only way to purchase it would be to come here to bid, as it is all physical auctions, and not online. :) At least for the time being.

Just so you are aware,
MJM Funding LLC
2012 Deborah Dr., Punta Gorda, FL 33950-8136
is a corporation that exists in the United States. Not sure what they do exactly. Can another name be given?

We're in Canada, and have no plans to expand into the states, or internationally. So it shouldn't be an issue. That said it wouldn't be hard to change the name as we have not yet registered the business. :)

Good to see you starting a new chapter!
The new trend here in journalism has been community event papers. Promoting social events and awards. Not for profit. One man bands though and subsidized through advertising. A lot of work, but you meet good people:)

That's basically what we were trying to do... though we were a for-profit company (we did talk about changing to not-for-profit). The problem I think was that we were a free paper, and because of that we missed out on a number of revenue streams.

1. What is the business about?
2. What is the name of the business?
3. Do you have a "motto" for your business?

I'll help if I can. As for compensation, that would depend of the quality of the outcome - but, as a general rule of thumb, I'd give it to you pro-bono.

1) It is going to be a closed bid auction service in support of charities.
2) MJM Funding Inc.
3) Innovative & Inspiring Funding Solutions

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜„
