If you're in Kansas City, my company name is databasically and my first name is wes and I use a dot com. Shoot, if you're not in KC; email me and let me know how I can help.
People enjoy emotional blackmailing others.
Do you need some real, immediate help, as in food and other necessities? Do not have millions to spare, but can help with some things. How can I contact you?
I don't care if I get down voted. But if a person already has 3 kids and another on the way, why would you spend all your savings on a startup ? even if you run out of savings, why would you max out your credit ? There is something called calculated risk.
My wife cried reading all of your comments. I guess we were looking for some sign that someone somewhere is pulling for us. During the first hour this post was up I hovered over the delete more than once. It doesn't seem right to bring an entire ecosystem of ambitious and wonderful people a story of failure. I guess I learned that hitting delete would be worse. Thank you from the 5.3 of us.
These stories should be required reading. To that end the community would benefit massively from you documenting it. Just as there are Journals of Negative results [1][2] so too should there be a journal of failed startups. Your detailing of what caused the failures could save thousands of man hours and potentially someone falling into the same traps. Goal #1 for you right now is to get your family in order and steel…
I think he must have to write in order get clean with dirty minds like myself (not trusting him now, his account is just new and he got 500+ karma).
Hey man, I've been there (two failed startups). Whatever you learned during that time should be valuable assets/skills in many startups. Hang in there. You gotta be there for your family.
I appreciate your kind words to the OP, but... is that really true? "Whatever you learned during that time should be valuable assets/skills in many startups" I can not imagine for one moment failing in a business, taking a job at a startup, and having the owner(s) or others say "well... you've tried this before and failed - what's your input on XYZ?" In fact, I essentially went through this years ago, and could not f…
I guess my point here is, do not give up, but rectify current situation first. I'm sure @zedshaw does provide good helps there.
Good Luck. Blessing from Malaysia.

Now, I live in San Jose. And Thanksgiving is closer, if you happen to live in San Jose, contact me kurei at my website: axcoto.com. I can give a hand, drive you around if you need, and a place to sleep for several days if need.
The company that I'm working for also is hiring PHP Dev. I can referred you to the CEO.

You are a generous, thanks for adding trust in the world. But please dont fall a victim of emotional-blackmailing. If you have some leads or contact share with him if you dont, I would not recommend you give him money, his account is too new here on HN and he 500+ karma already. So be safe and help people in need, no one like the feeling of being robbed. Thanks once again.
