I'm in Clayton NC. Its a small town right to the east of the Raleigh Area which is were OP'ers family will be moving for Lucas' Treatment. I was born here and know the area well/as well as having life long friends that live in Raleigh area around the block from were they will be going to be living if they need local int. on the area feel free to pm me. Sorry my pay pal had so little but it looks like reddit made up for my financial inadequacies.

PS if you wait to get tattoo in Raleigh area I'm sure we have some very good artist that will give you a good deal. I'd suggest not on your butt cheek like one post suggested and a shoulder tat. not typical (thinking one on the front of shoulder/chest that is always hiding just under a Tshirt for fast non law breaking showing off.

What about the families that suffered horrid living conditions and jobs to pay for a family members education without going into debt. Me and my wife put her thru collage the slow way paying for it with pell grants and working min. wage jobs while supporting our house hold. That means I worked full time and her part time while she also went to school full time and helped in the the family duties. What do you propose for people like us that did it right with proper forward thinking. We could have had it a lot easier (taking out loans we knew we couldn't pay back) and she may have gotten better grades or not failed a class and had to retake (and pay out of pocket) because she failed due to all the other duties she took on to keep her and us out of debt. This is my issue with forgiving student loans. Yeah its great for many but in that same swing takes from those that thought ahead and planed accordingly.

The same way we want the banks to be responsible, we should want people to be responsible. By just forgiving loans I don't think that teaches people to think ahead in practical terms. Maybe paying the interest on those loans is the right way but forgiveness of shitty choices while ignoring (and thus penalizing) people that had thought a head and insured they didn't take on loans they couldn't repay is just an invitation to our country men and women to keep up reckless behavior in the hopes that they will be let off the hook once the shit hits the fan.
