Do not sign up for the classes or for the "gifts from above". This lady lives in government housing, gets free food from the Pennsylvania Food Stamp Program, her kids all get government money and free school lunches! This "coupon class" is a gimmick. No one in her household works. Just collects as much free stuff as they can.
Big scam.

He has none. That's why this post was created. It had nothing to do with Meager Means or Gifts from Above. It was all about trying to get someone to say I've done something he can use against me. I contemplated pretending to have a complaint against myself under a fake username just so he'd spend money on a private investigator halfway across the US :) Fact of the matter is Narc or whoever you are today, most people don't have a shady background like you...

I agree NOCTIS-LII *Brenda* is very nice. I would like to thank gkenigmatic also. I'm not sure if I know either of you personally or if you just happened upon the post but I appreciate the support. Not everyone has mal intent in mind. Some just have not had the fortune of giving or receiving in life without personal gain. Those two both have supported me without even telling me who they are if I know them and I am very grateful.

As to the posts, I hope this will be the end so that I can focus on more important things. If you would like more information about giving and reaching out to others in your community then you may find the site very useful in allowing you to do so at very minimal cost if any. Meager Means is still a hobby not even meant for more than friends to see. I post when I can and not as quick as other deal sites. This is just something I do in my free time to help others. When all of the arrangements have been made for Gifts from Above, the link will be posted but until then nothing is being offered other than knowledge. I fail to see how this would hurt anyone. I had listed that I was trying to work out a way to offer coupon classes in September which I'm working on but even that could not have possibly affected anyone in the here and now.

The proof of my character will become evident once I have been able to make these hopes more than what they are at this time which is just ideas. Once they have become realization and I am able to reach out then this will be posted as public knowledge for all to see and witness if they choose. Until then I would hope that we are able to consider this complaint resolved due to a lack of producing evidence that there is merit to the complaint other than the very apparent personal attack against me and not Meager Means or Gifts from Above.

As to the original complaint which is that Meager Means Gifts from Above is a scam, please do tell what negative experience you have had that would warrant this complaint or your continued posts? I welcome any of you that posted previously to clarify. I would love to resolve any issues that you have with my freebie and grocery store matchup blog or donations to people in my community.

I agree Brenda. I don't believe they remember the username or passwords for these entities they create. Now that we mentioned it I'm sure they will though for future purposes.

My apologies for the spelling errors. I have an automatic word correct which sometimes alters my words. I left you a present on the Ferrey & Nicholas post Narc. I told you keep posting. You are not a good person.

Thank you again gken and Brenda for defending me. These people are relentless. The lawsuit does exist that he mentioned. I looked and realized my attorney last requested his tax records around July of 2009. I think my next call will be to the IRS if he posts again. I have no vendetta but this crap is getting old.

What Narc (no doubt the Arrotti's) are talking about is the frivolous lawsuit they filed against me. I think I already mentioned that. Yep out of criminal and civil the only way they could get something against me is to create something. Is that really all you can come up with? Maybe I should post the links to your criminal offenses. I know I don't have any but I rounds lots under your name. So you wanted to up the ante? Keep it coming. For every post you make I will be one step behind you making another. The funny thing is that as far as I know my testimony isn't even needed for PA Attny General v Charles Arrotti (you can find that on the same website he gave you above)

So do tell Narc... What's worse- to be sued by a scam artist or the Attorney General. I think you win buddy! Kind of a no brained who filed the bogus lawsuit...

To All Readers:
Instead of all this heresay, just log onto the Westmoreland County Prothonotary and do a search (it's free) of Larissa MacDonald. You wil see for yourself that what she is writing is false.
She tried to start some trouble (surprise, I know) over three years ago just to aggravate people that live in Mount Pleasant. Nothing happened! BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR THE MACDONALD TROUBLE MAKERS. AGAIN FACTS BE TOLD GO TO THE WESTMORELAND COUNTY PROTHONOTARY ON YOUR COMPUTER AND SEARCH HER NAME. END OF STORY!

Thank you Brenda! Do tell Katherine... What forbearance does a disability claim have? The last day I worked for you, you said something. If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me. Does this sudden personal attack mean that they're finally taking you down? After all you haven't bothered me since 2009 when you got served. How's business? Give my regards to Claire or should I say Ricki :)

Can you answer about the disability claim? You skipped replying about the landlord/person who was getting quizzed about your disability claim against a company in Maryland. we just want to assure our participation is one that is pure. thank you for your honesty! God Bless you.

I hope you all can see now this is a personal vendetta against me. On the plus side I'm closer to the hits per month needed to sell Google ad space so THANK YOU Mr. and Mrs. Arrotti!

@Sharon Ryan- You really should have changed your screen name before fraudulantly trying to defend yourself. Ferrey & Nicholas And Charles Arrotti — Never provided promised service.

@Landlord of Mount Pleasant- I think it's funny after three years that my true former landlord would be Googling my name. This appears to be nothing more than another attempt by the OP to to make me look bad. All I will say is I have the texts we shared when I told you we had to move after losing the formerly mentioned job and you told our current landlord the only damage was nail holes in the wall. If you have anything further to say- you know where I live.

@Sharon Ryan- The fact your post was written only 33 minutes before the Landlord post leads me to believe you're a fictitious person as well. I agree though that if in doubt they should question the proper authorities and let them decide. It cost me $22.50 for the items I donated in the pictures above. The rest was bought by the church. I'm sure the IRS would LOVE to know where I got that $22.50!

This woman rented off me on Washington Street in Mount Pleasant. Let me tell you, she skipped in the middle of the night and trashed my property. I can't even sue her cause they have ZERO! They owe me months of unpaid rent and damages to my house. The house stunk of trash and pets.
I also learned that she has a disability claim in Maryland that is complete BS so I took the liberty of writing to them that she know lives in PA. Just watch her, she may have changed her ways...we'll see what happens.

Call Pennsylvania and make sure that Gifts from Above is a registered non-profit. A lot of these people hide behind religious non-profits just to pilfer money that isn't reported. Call Pennsylvania and see if they are a registed and legit 401-C non profit. That could be her "game" since everyone thinks this woman is up to no good. What is her background? Call the District Attorney if in doubt and inquire! Geez!

First thank you to those who have shown their support.

To the original poster: I would like to know how you obtained this information. This site is a hobby which was set up to help friends and family and reach out to those in the community who find themselves in the same situation as we have which you so kindly pointed out. At Christmas we paired up with a local church making bags for 50 families with my "free stuff I go around collecting." By reaching out, it will be possible to help others to stretch their cash or food stamps a little further. I fail to see how this is a gimmick. I have not nor will I ask for anything in return. So please do enlighten me as to where you feel this is a gimmick. If anything it is a loss as this is not a business. I am not selling anything.

I can only come to one conclusion about the OP. In 2008, I worked for a company called Ferrey & Nicholas. I was hired by a temp agency to work for an attorney named Henry Arruda. I later found out that his real name was Charles Arrotti. I will let all of you do the Googling on your own. He is married to Kami Arrotti who you may also want to Google. The matters leading up to my separation has we'll just say caused them some inconvenienve. Since this is the same complaint site they used to post something about me, I can only assume they are trying yet again to keep me from excelling. According to their lawsuit against me, my husband, and the previous business I tried to start, I caused them to lose $260, 000 in income which their attorney has in the past year been unable to prove with tax documents requested by my attorney. The only request for assistance that I had on the form that was on my site was completed by me as a test to ensure everything was working properly.

So I ask the OP- How is it that you feel a hobby has affected you in a negative way that warrants smearing my site and me? If you're in need of help, all you had to do was complete the form and my children, husband, and I would have put a care package together for you. As for the coupon classes they will be free to seniors and teen moms when they begin after summer. If you are upset because you do not fall in this age range, I do apologize but you may find the information on my site very helpful.

I took the liberty of posting two photos that were taken at the church the day we put the bags together to be distributed by various churches and assistance agencies. I hope this has clarified things for everyone who may read this post. If not feel free to contact me via the Meager Means facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/Meager-Means/168069013241268
