  6. Hi Maria, It’s really great to see the impact you’re creating. I’m a work at home lady ( had to leave my job due to my mother’s health concern). I followed a similar path like yours; working on oDesk and then passing on work to family, relatives, and friends. I’m trying to set-up a community platform through which I can help more people who are stuck by family obligations just like I used to be. I look forward to know if I can seek your guidance by connecting, and learning from you directly ?
