My sister had a husband who refused to let my sister work or give her enough money to buy food for their children. My sister always managed to provide the food though. She prayed that God would help her. Then she went to the dumpsters where people would discard their newspapers and collect all the coupons for the food that she could and take them to stores to buy 100 to 200 dollars worth of food per week for as little as 10 to 12 dollars a week some weeks because of store policy of double coupon value plus sales she would even get her groceries free.
Another thing she did was collect empty bottles and return them for cash she always managed to get 10 -20 dollars worth a week which she gave to her children as allowance. You might want to go to the library and borrow the book called Tightwad Gazette , there are 3 volumes that you can get that can tell you how to live on much less thus allowing you and your family to hopefully better your lifestyle. Other things you can do to get the money to get your pc could include such things as babysitting, mowing lawns, shovelling snow. delivering newspapers , helping people who need their garage cleaned. I hope that you do not think that getting a pc will get you out of poverty. One very important thing is to constantly strive to get as much education as you possible can. Looking at your question, I have a challenge for you. Get your dictionary out and correct all the errors in spelling that you can find. Education is so important to break the cycle of poverty. Try to spend one hour a day improving important skills such as spelling, math typing. Instead of trying to buy yourself a pc continue to use the pc you obviously have access to now and use the money to upgrade your education so you will be able to provide all you need in the future.

yeah I can help. Get a job. It's the best way to get money. It's crazy.. I know! You apply for a position, perhaps a grocery store, and they will pay you probably an hourly rate! After you work and get a paycheck, you can save that money to buy a PC! It's incredible the possibilites of getting a job. You don't have to beg for other people's money (most of which have caught on to the idea of getting a job) and you feel confident that you are getting somewhere in life by providing for yourself! Good luck with your job, your life, and your PC!

What's your location?
Anyway, check http://craigslist.org you might find free stuff there. Also, you can join yahoo local recycle groups, where every now and then you could get a workable computer (and other stuff). See if you can find a local group here:
