I spend a lot of time on Twitter helping people as much as I can and I never ask for anything in return. Now it I need to ask for help. I quit a stable job a couple of months ago to work at a startup. I was told yesterday that the startup isn't able to pay me any longer.

UPDATE: I want to thank everyone truly from the bottom of my heart. I’m sorry if I didn’t get back to everyone. The response to this tweet was amazing. It came at a bad time since we were a couple of days away from our daughter’s birthday party.

Between the response to the tweet, family in town, planning and executing a birthday party, etc it has been a VERY stressful couple of weeks.

I hope that no one thought I was being ungrateful. There were probably 200 leads coming in per day and once I started interviewing at a few of them most of my day was spent either answering emails, filling out applications, or talking to people on the phone.
