Hi People at Archive . com

I used to have a couple of web sites on Geocities, and didn't get a chance to save them because at the time of the closure, and all thru last summer, I lost my internet connection due to lack of funds. The cable internet provider in my region (Shaw Cable) charges too much for basic connection (129/ month) . I am on too low an income to afford their rates.

Please, please, please can you help me recover my web pages?

this was my transcribed journals: www.geocities.com/mutebrownmouse/index

this was my art portfolio: www.geocities.com/artbyconstance/index

and these were scanned images from my old sketchbooks, which are also lost. www.geocities.com/sketchbook89-90 www.geocities.com/sketchbook86-88 www.geocities.com/sketchbook91-92

I am greatly sadenned by this loss, and the timing of the Geocities closure when I had no internet connection.

Please Please Please Can someone help me recover the pages I lost.

Thank you
