I don't know what to say or how to approach this, since I'm on a trial account I can't even post in Trade Forums. So I'll just put it out there and see if anyone is willing to work with me on it.
I'm 25 years old and confined to my bed with a crippling muscular disease called Becker's Muscular Dystrophy. I have a very limited income with no access to anything because my care provider takes care of bills, food etc. All I have is time on my hands so I try to spend it online as much as possible when I'm not resting (sleeping). I had played some mmorpg's in the past and would volunteer my time as a GM in exchange for game time. In some of the pay mmorpg's I would make some really good friends online (and join in on the game they're playing) they would help me with my monthly time cards in exchange for money ingame or other things I could sit and grind on. This would benefit them if they worked for a living because I would farm gold/credits/items/drops etc while they worked and would give them a percentage of my earnings. Slowly the friends I've had have gone off to do better things IRL and all my other game accounts have expired.
I thought I'd try the 14 day trial of Eve for the lack of anything better to do because it didn't require a credit card etc. I didn't realize I would enjoy the game as much as I have spending most my past 5-6 days logged in playing. I really enjoy industry stuff in the game, and the trade system (buying from one system and hauling it to another for a profit). With just a Tormentor I can usually make 2-3 million a day mining and buy/selling product between stations.
I guess what it boils down to is, if anyone has a 30 day code to help me get started so I can learn industrial ship skill and start doing better at my ingame profession I would dedicate my full time to your corporation or gang or whatever else you have going on, giving the person who would be willing to help me out a large percentage of my earnings during the day playing. While you're at work you won't just be training skills you will have someone ingame dedicated to mining, and other forms of ISK making to send it your way. I would even donate a portion of my money to any 3rd party program you use ISK to support ie. Radio Stations etc. Please don't flame me for begging or whatever, if you can't help me out just simply don't respond. If you can please feel free to contact me ingame and we can work something out. I really don't have any other options atm so I thought I'd come to the community and see if I could get a small amount of help. I wouldn't plan on you supporting my gaming habit forever, hopefully with the time I have to play next month I can buy a GTC for the 150 million ISK some advertise for and I will still be working for your corporation. It would be a lifetime contract or until you decided I've paid my debt for your gracious help.
Thanks.

I hate to say this, but I think you should work this out with your care provider. Its rather silly if you can't allocate 20$ to pay for entertainment. I would say break it down economically to them:
2 week trial + new account = 44 days of game play for $20
That works out to 45 cents a day for the first month. As far as entertainment goes I spend more on candy and soda then that.
At the monthly rate it works out to 50 cents a day. There are other deals where you buy 3 months or 6 months and it gets way cheaper.
What else do you have to do with your time? you might as well be happier then without.

Yea, I already have... they see it buying me a computer and paying for my internet connection each month enough. So it's pointless I keep talking to them about it at this point, they haven't covered anything but internet and my PC stuff for the past 5 years and nothing else.
I'm sorry about the post I just thought maybe someone had an extra time card kicking around and wouldn't mind some extra farming for a small investment. I guess I'll just not worry about it, one day I might be able to play Eve outside a trial account. I was just looking forward to being apart of a great game and community and a chance to actually be able to pay for my game time farming for it.
Like I said I apologize for wasting anyones time reading this.

Don't be sorry, the only waste of time I've spent today is replying to DragonRiderTao.
Something I learned when I was in a group home was its a pleasure for you to work with me. Like it or not your care providers have to bend to your will not you to theres. Its a really petty game to play but you can make their life hell while yours can't get any worse. Its the same theory as "hitting rock bottom" in the movie Fight Club.
Explain to your care providers that it is out of the goodness of your heart that you don't make their day any harder. They can't make you do anything, but you can sure make them do something.
I really feel for you otherwise.

thank you, its hard, especially when you're given a life sentence and you don't have much of one, or a limited one at that. I'm trying to farm money now to come close to buying a time card from someone selling one for ISK. I don't know how close I will come to it, but it's all I have to do right now. Maybe something will come through eventually.

Well without getting to mushy, I want to say there's some outstanding people in this community. One in particular they know who they are, I will not say their name to protect their identity...where did I hear that from..? :)
But I want to make a public thank you to them I wouldn't ever be able to thank them enough!
I can officially say I'm a member of the Eve community now, and will be here for a long time.

Xeroxil,
If I were to provide you with "x" amount of investment, what sort of return would I see?
I am highly interested.
x = 50+ million isk

Darn alt's...
I was the above poster.
EDIT: Before I would even consider investing, you would have to renounce slavery due to your race.
