I don't know what to do.....so lost, and I just can't seem to get a head. Last year my 3 children and I suffured a house fire...months after that I was in the burn unit ICU w/ SJS. There was no waking up last year to a christmas, I was souly dependent on my husdand, which we r no loger together..leaving me with all the bills, and medical expences. I am not the one to ask for help....There are many people out there who have had harder times. I have a 15 year old boy, a 13 year old boy and my 11 year old daughter, plus my teenage neices living with me.  I have tried to seel my home, but w/ todays market, i am going into forcloser.

I am living off of SSI at the age of 34. any type of help would be a blessing from God. We are trying to raise money to get ahead on bills and house payments, as well as Christmas.

what do I do? I hear about Gov grants, but don't even have the money for shipping cost.

I am in and out of the hospital, but do have medicare. thank you God.

I just cry everytime I think of the kids waking up once again to no Christmas, no Christmas meal, not even a tree. I know its not all about getting gifts, but when one of your children ask you.."Mommy did Santa foget about us this year?" What do you say.

Advice, please help me help them.

 Thank you and God Bless.

I wanted to thank you all for all your kindness and caring. I think what I was lacking in life was the emotional support. THANK YOU for showing me there is more to life the a big house, blaa blaa blaa. I have my kids, and the RV; live in the beautiful town of Talent, OR. Through love and emotional support, I have pulled myself out of this depression, moved on ( getting there ) and letting the past be the past.

THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS.

perhaps someday I will be on my feet and can help someone too.

Hi, Sherry:)

You have given yourself the best gift that is personal to receive; the need to believe in life with you and your children in it. I applaud you for your kindness to share with others that you've come upon a serious deep, dark, ugly, pit, that treatins everything you love about life.

As strange as it may sound, you actually do have to have a negative situation to learn the significance of how and why, that you came to find yourself in the place that you fear the most. You may think that the future is dark and dreary, but keep faith that you will suffice and overcome the impossible with a generous future, for ALL things possible:)

Myself, I can only offer you my prayers that your life will return to the special life source that you have always been and will continue to be in the days ahead of you. Social Security wrote me a letter to say, "Your level of poverty is 186% below the national level of poverty. Did I get mad? No way! Did my situation change? Yes! What was the formula that gave me strength to survive and return to my beautiful self-respect? I prayed and received this enlightenment: Everyday is a holiday when you celebrate life & Maintain, don't complain.

Since 1997, when my husband was murdered by the KKK my life took a tremendous downward spiral. It was my greatest fear to live alone without my favorite love to keep me company. I refused to give-up my hope to receive the guidance I needed to begin a new day with a new attitude about living life as I know it:)

Sherry, I will take a firm stand that your prayers will be answered in the time that they need to be done. I will leave you with my trust that your new beginnings will start sooner than you think.

Peace & Prayers,
MzGale
