Our House e-newsletter October & November 2013 | Page 7

One day you arrive at your office,
check your e-mail, and find a
surprise. Your living allowance is
over. It‟s probably just temporary,
but no one knows how long it will be
until you have it again. The e-mail
says you will eventually get all of
your missing living allowances.
Later. At some unknown time in the
future.
Your first thought may be, “can I
wait until this unknown later?”
But that‟s not what your thought
should be. What you should be
thinking:
Will my landlord wait until this
unknown later?
Will the electric company wait?
Will my college loan payments
wait?
Will the gas to get to Our Ho use
every morning wait?
Will the rumbly in my tumbly wait?
Fortunately, your supervisors have
already had these thoughts, and
donors are ready to make sure you
make it through this without having
to give up your VISTA position.
