What is a mother of eight to do when absolutely no network will pick up a show featuring their family? Get a regular 9-5 job? No, apparently the answer is partner with a coupon site!
Kate Gosselin has been sharing her saving tips with fans for months now on Coupon Cabin. Each week, she brings viewers a new tip on how to shop (and save) when you have eight little ones. Now, Nadya Suleman (dubbed Octomom because she gave birth to eight children at once) has decided to get on board with a website similar to Coupon Cabin, except there is one small difference: she won't be blogging.
According to Rumor Fix, Save Everyday will add an option to their site for people to donate money of which 50% will go to Octomom's brood in the form of a trust fund. The program is not one specific to Suleman, though, and the Director Of Savings for the site says, "We created the program to help people who are trying to make ends meet."
Since giving birth to the eight children (she has 14 kids total), Suleman has had a hard time trying to make ends meet. Thankfully, she won't be trying to give financial advice to people as that seems to be something she knows little about, unlike Kate Gosselin. (Love her or hate her, she does offer some good advice on her blog.) Earlier this year, Suleman attempted to file for bankruptcy, but the case was thrown out after it was discovered that the paperwork had not been correctly filed. She has since had to turn to darker avenues to make an income.
Will you be donating to the Octomom fund?

It's the children who are broke, not Nudeya, she has plenty of money to spend on herself and the six older kids, it's the octuplets who are broke and in need of welfare. They didn't do their job - make notamama rich and famous.
Suze Orman tried to help her with budgeting and in looking through her finances, found she had made enough off the 8 babies to raise her family to adulthood, but she squandered it on crappe. This was on the Oprah show. Suze also called her a liar when Nudeya tried to make some lying excuse about where the money came from for all the IVF.
No thanks, I won't be donating anything to her.
You are correct, the tups failed to make Nadya Suleman rich so they suffer because of that, suffer for an irresponsible decision their birthing unit made 3 years ago. For those who question the reason Octomom had these children just need to look back to woman who didn't even have a ...one crib ready to welcome home the 7, later to be 8 babies home. No bottles, cribs, diapers, clothing..not even a home in satisfactory condition to bring the kids home to...Her mother's home where Nadya was living, just living, not helping raise her own 6 children before getting pregnant again. Angela Suleman was using her retirement to support these kids with a little help from food stamps, no help from her daughter who stopped in to give the kids gifts and maybe $20.00 to help pay for 6 kids. Then telling her over worked mother she had a tumor to hide the fact she was having more children. Later Ms. Suleman complained major companies were unfair to her by not providing her with gifts.
The older children might reap a better, but very small amount of attention and support from their mother but all of the kids are in a horrible situation. Nadya on the other hand seems to be having the time of her life. As she stated many months ago when the house, which she does not own, was to be taken..."something, ( someone) will turn up, I am not worried".
Very sad situation.
The older children were raised permissive/indulgent (according to her) and the tups are on a strict, almost militaristic regime, so she says. The older kids get whatever they want to eat and the tups get 'giant' pancakes (she says she can't flip them so they are probably raw in the middle) made with Benefiber and egg whites and raw bell peppers - I made the mistake of watching one of her Sunday night UStream shows where she showed what a "magnificent" cook she is. She says the tups have never tasted fast food or sweets and get one cup of milk a day. (probably skim) No wonder the poor things are so scrawny.
I really would like to quit even thinking about her, but I just know one morning I'm going to wake up to a headline that is going to be heartbreaking. Unfortunately, there is nothing anyone can do to rescue the children. Maybe if there are enough of us putting the truth out there, she will be watched more closely.
