Please pray for my family, and me.....thank you.
(soon to be homeless, David is graduating from college, we were kicked off our housing assistance and cannot afford a place to go. My oldest son is in the mental hospital because he is so depressed and angry he doesn't want to live. We need all the prayer we can get)
This week my oldest son told me he wished I would kill him, so he could stop being a disappointment to the people around him, and stop doing everything wrong. My son tore my heart. My 10 years old baby is in so much pain, and here I am...about to be homeless, with no money to afford the stupid extremely high rent prices of every single available house on the market here....I cant afford to attend my law classes anymore, so I will never get my grants back. Today I stopped babysitting for the same kids I have watched for 3 years, since the week of their birth, because I need to find a better job, and I have no prospects. Just last month my life was together, stressed and money was tight, but now....now we are broken. My Son has been admitted to the hospital, and my other 3 kids are worried. How did life go so wrong so fast?.....Please send prayers our way, we need them badly. Thank you.
ALSO! A Blessing! This week is my Fiancee's final exam to achieve his degree! After this week He will be "Chef David Jones CC". Please keep him in your prayers also as he wants to excel on his exam! Thank you!
We are still in big trouble, although I am staying hopeful. I am praying for my brother right now, his name is William Richardson, and I would like to also ask all of you to keep him in your prayers. He has been trying to kill himself, and he refuses to talk to me. He is my only family alive, and I want to keep him around! We also still need continued prayers and any helpful suggestions...ANYTHING, to help with our housing and financial situation. I KNOW the Lord will look after us, and we will be fine in the long run, but I can't help but be concerned that we have no place to go, and no money to afford a place, so we are giving it to God, and if you can think of anything that may help, I GREATLY appreciate it! thank you!
WE NEED HELP!!! Prayers are all I normally ask for, and I quite honestly don't know what we need right now, but we are SCARED! We are being evicted from our home, and have lost our housing assistance for reasons I promise are unjust and untrue. We will be out on the street soon, and cannot afford a place without our housing voucher. We are appealing the decision, and I have faith that they will see the truth for what it is, but in the mean time, we are being forced to leave our house, with no place to go. PLEASE pray for us, and if you have any suggestions or are able to help in any way, I GREATLY appreciate it. God Bless.
PLEASE! Could I please get everyone who reads this to please say a short prayer for my family. We have been looking for a new home and now, and it has come down to the wire. I am afraid we will be homeless this time next month, and I am scared to death of what might happen between now and then. I dont want to split our family up, but that is looking like the only option. We simply cannot afford most rent around here, and I am not sure what to do. It is coming down to being up to God, I know he will care for us, I just would love the security of knowing he is gonna take care of us UNDER a roof! :P Thank you all.
HELLO!!!! It has been a long time since I have been on here to ask for prayers or talk with anyone, but I suppose that was a good thing. I once again am in need for prayer and I know most of the wonderful people here will help me with plenty of it! I have had the most amazing month! None of life's worries could bring me down from being so happy! My boyfriend of 3 years...high school crush and sweetheart over 10 years ago...and my best friend, asked me to marry him this past Easter Sunday, in front of my Church congregation. He thanked them all for the love and support they have given me through the years, giving me the family I don't personally posses, and loving and accepting us both. I had no idea what he was doing up there with the mic.... I posted a video for you all to see!! I was so thankful my pastor's wife and he all knew before it happened, and she recorded it!! Anyhow, the reasons we NEED the prayers are not only for our relationship, but because today we recieved a notice from our landlord that we will have 6 weeks to move out. I am slightly stressed, but still nothing can keep me from smiling. When God closes one door, he opens another, and I know now we will all be just fine. :) Thank you all!!!!

LIFE IS SO HARD!!!! I guess no one ever promised me any different, but sometimes I just dont think I can press on. I know I have been in worse situations before, and that's what keeps me going. I am trying to be thankful for all my blessings, and I do have many. I have my van back finally, and it is SUCH a blessing to have transportation. I only wish that it hadn't been so expensive, and cause me to drop out of college this quarter...causing me to lose my financial aid. I have no idea how I am paying for school, and if I don't go back next quarter, the entire year will be worse than the last one, and that's not a pretty picture to paint. I worry, but I try to have faith. Will everyone who reads this say a little prayer for us? College is the least of my worries, but college was paying the bills here, and I don't know what I will do if I become homeless again and lose the kids....Its just a scary thought......Well, thank you and God Bless you all.
I'm going crazy. :P Can anyone help me or give me some suggestions? I have been in law school a while now, depending on funding to get me through, but this past month my van broke down. It is very expensive to fix the van, and because of my repairs needed, it is unable to be driven, and I have no transportation to school. I have officially had to withdraw from classes before I received a failing grade, for fear of being kicked out of my program. Because of this, I now have no money also for school next quarter, let alone for my household bills and food. I am just not sure what to do. We had been getting progressively better for a long while, and now, just when I think I have things under control, something comes along to see just how strong my faith is. If you could help, or know anyone who could, I would appreciate it.
I wish college wasn't so expensive. Even though I recieved a student loan, I still am not able to afford the gas to get to work, or school. I hate feeling guilty that I went to church today, and spent the gas money to get there that I could have saved for getting to school through the week. I am thankful that I was able to pay my utility bills, and excited that at church today I was voted to be the Chair of our Christian Ed committee. I my kids have been begging me for milk thats not watered down for so long....but sometimes I just need to make it last longer. I was told yesterday that we would be receiving out food stamps in about 3 weeks or so, and that will be a huge burden lifted. I just dont know how we will make it that far. If I miss one class in school, I will fail, and I cant fail because I worry I will get kicked out of the course, and I am already behind because I missed a day when I broke my hand. If anyone could just lift us up in prayer, I would really appreciate it. I would also like to hear if anyone has any helpful suggestions, thank you so much.
God Bless YOU Sleepysick. I know nothing of the struggles and hardships you face, and I know its hard to list it all out in front of you and then to display it for the world to view. Its not easy because we never know the reaction, or lack of response we may get. I understand the scared worried feelings based on all of your concerns, and I sympathize with you. If you ever need a friend to talk to, please, let me be able to lend an ear. I wish I had ways of making miracles for you, but beyond prayer, there is not much I have to give. I WILL add you to the prayer chain of the church I attend, and make a few phone calls to some other chains I am involved in. I know God will make you strong, and even when you feel the stress and strain, you will know that it will end, and there will be better days again. {hugs} ( I am not normally so weird, LOL)
OK....I thought I would ask...does anyone have any clothes between size 18-20 in pants, or 22-24 in shirts that they dont fit? I have lost 50 pounds this year and am having trouble finding clothes to wear to school. My chest keeps my tops from going down in size, haha....and I cant really afford to go shopping, if anyone could donate some clothes to me, I would really appreciate it. ( Also...anyone with some size 9, 9.5, or 10 shoes would help a TON...my shoes are 6 years old and falling a part...thank you!)
I would like to ask for prayers once again to help us get through the next few weeks. We have been without food stamps for the last 2+ months, and although they have everything they need from us, they said it will be several more weeks before they will come through. Prayers from you all have worked before, and I know they will again. The 6 of us have not starved the last 2 months, and even though food is running out, I have faith we will not have any problems now...thank you all.
Life is still not easy, but its getting better! I wanted to thank anyone and everyone for prayers and just lifting us up in your thoughts. I will CONTINUE to ask for prayers and support for my small family, but i know that God has been working, because we are not hurting near as bad as we were last month...stress levels are dying down, and I haven't cried in days! LOL It's a blessing to be able to see the other side of the mountain of crap we were trying to climb, and I wouldn't have been able to get through this without the love and support of friends, Church family, and God's works that he has been doing through the people on this site. I pray 2012 is a wonderful year for not only my family, but for all of yours. :) God Bless.
( the picture is of my kids and the hats, gloves, and jackets they were given by one of the many Angels who were sent to us this Christmas)
I completely understand what your saying!!! I came to this site before Christmas seeking help for my family ( we had some SERIOUSLY BAD months leading up to the Christmas season) and I am happy to say we are finally on the road to recovery from help from friends and church family...and even one wonderful person I met on Aidpage who sent me some underwear for my two sons and some emergency food. I have been trying to stay connected with the few people I met through this site, so I come here fairly often. I often sift through the sea of needs that people post, some of them break my heart, others absolutely disgust me. I was seriously thinking of asking for help with my bills this month, because although my bills (electric and gas) only come to $75 this month (water is more, but we had a leak last month, and I plan to pay it late) we still have not received our food stamps and are waiting for the papers to go through the system, so its either food or bills at the moment. ....all that aside... I read a post where a woman said she spent too much money on Christmas, money she didn't have (which I understand in a way...if I had not received help from friends this Christmas, I would have been desperate also) but now that lady is asking for a small $5000 gift to pay off her credit cards and such....I thought my jaw was gonna hit the floor!! I am not going to say I am any better than that lady, or anyone, but I just wish it was easier to recognize the difference between real need, and greed. Good luck on your quest to help people. If your having no luck on here...try giving a call to the local shelter, I am sure they can direct you to people who could really use some love, support and a lil financial boost. ( I have been there, and now I help the local shelter staff for the winter, I may not be able to help financially, but I can give my time, and there are many people worse off than I am...I know there are people who need kindness from people like yourself, and what your wanting to do is an amazing gift...dont give up!) I pray your ministry of giving is not stopped short by the greed of others...you will be a blessing to many if you just dont get too discouraged!! :)
I need some words of encouragement from anyone who can give them....Things have been hard, but I know they will all work out. In the mean time though, my cupboards and pantry, and refrigerator are all empty. Unfortunately every pantry in the area has already done all they could do, or are unable to help at all. I am not sure what we will do for food...last night, my kids went to bed after eating a ton of cookies at church, but that was all they had for dinner. Things are stressful...I have enough leftovers to stretch another day, maybe more...not sure what will happen after that. Our food stamps are currently on hold until ODJFS contacts me back....but its been 9 days, and they keep telling me they are just too busy to get to us....so we wait. I am thankful that my kids eat 2 meals a day at the school, but this weekend is going to be hard. I really just need some positive thoughts and prayers sent our way, thank you.
I just need some encouragement tonight. We are very low income at the moment, and something went wrong with our food stamps. I am sure it will all get straightened out very soon, but in the meantime, we were only able to buy two gallons of milk and one loaf of bread to last as long as possible. Tonight, my little girl asked if she could have milk, and I had to tell her no, because we had to save it to make it last as long as possible, and she was so mad at me she said I hated the kids because I am not sharing something that is supposed to be good for them. It just kindof broke my heart, I have never had to deny my kids milk before. Things will be better soon, I just....feel like a crappy mom tonight.
