How can I do something with no finances?

I do not know how many of you follow my blog and how many of you do it seriously. I am at my wits end in trying to find some kind of enthusiasm for people to "help" others.
I do not understand one thing. As an advocate for the Deaf in Armenia and a person who does not have finances to survive on much let alone help the deaf , I cannot afford to put all that I have saved in the basket. Even if I decide to "sell" myself, who on earth will give me more that five dollars an hour?
The Deaf community in the United States...well...I did ask them but they tell me they have no money. BUT...get this...they drink every morning of every day of every week of every month of every year, and God forbid if they don't, cafe latte mochacino with pumpikin flavor and a hint of cinnamon on slightly whipped cappucino etc etc...and pay what for it? 3 dollars? AND THE SAME COMMUNITY HAS THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME THEY HAVE NO MONEY? I am supressing my anger at this ....I give up ...the deaf do not care about the deaf unless there is something in it for them...as it happened with me too when I asked a Deaf woman in the United States if she wanted to give some donation to help me remodel the school for the deaf in Armenia and she asked me if she would become the president of my organization. What organization? People come on...
The Armenian hearing community here in the States well, they are something else...they are. They go googoogaga over " oh, mount ararat, oh lake sevan..." What the ?
Anyway, I need to take some breath now...
I will write more soon.
