My father has always been the same way. He accepts that I have AS now, but will never understand what that means exactly. And he often still has the "just go out and get any old job" attitude, as if it were that easy.

Sean, let me know in a couple days how the donations are going. I can't make up the difference, but I can probably kick a few more bucks your way if it helps. 
In the mean time, you might look into some odd jobs if you can't land a steady one. See if anyone wants you to mow their lawn, weed the gardens, etc. I've done this in the past for a bit of spare cash when I didn't have a job.
You can also apply at a temp service (I used Express Personnel Services, I don't know how widespread they are) that will look for jobs for you. All you have to do is say yes or no when they call you with something. I did this a while back, and landed a good job in a couple days afterward.
