“The Uptown Theater was born in 1929 during the Great Depression, and provided audiences with a venue to forget their troubles. Vaudeville, Movies, Jazz and R&B each had a role in the Uptown’s fame. During the 1960’s the theater was the HUB of Rhythm and Blues. Anybody and Everybody played there! Over the years, the theater fell into disrepair. The current Owners of the theater, the Non Profit Tax Exempt organization, the Uptown Entertainment and Development Corporation, UEDC, has launched a campaign for a New Era in Entertainment. Young people will be able to showcase their talent through the Uptown Youth got Talent contest. The old groups will be able to display their enduring skills. An entire new generation of entertainers and audiences will experience the history, energy and vivacity of the Uptown Theater!”

job transition support need

#Request #Urgent

Atlanta, Georgia Yesterday I accepted a job offer!!!! This will be my first job since December. All of my funds are gone and I'm supposed to start next week. As we all know, it costs money to make money. And right now I need funds for transportation, breakfast/lunch and other day to day items until my first check. I'd also like to buy some work pants since most of my pants are worn out or jeans.

I'm asking for funds for: - for public transportation (MARTA) - for lunch (and breakfast) for 3 weeks (15 days), other items that I may need for work, and also maybe pants, medication that I need to survive

Anything that you can give will be helpful.

help a parent hire tutors!

#Request Milwaukee, WI Paypal: [email protected]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for help to be able keep my daughters French and academic tutor. This tutoring is not a luxury, it is a necessity to keep my child on track with the French program at her school. I am hoping someone will be able to sponsor us for a few months until I am back on track financially.

Last school year when I was in a better financial situation, she would work with Gretchen two days a week on learning and retaining the French language and relevant course work (they attend a French language immersion school).

It is IMMENSELY important to me that she stays on track academically. One-on-one support has significantly helped her behaviorally.
