CANNOT COUNT ON FAMILY

Posted by jasond on 2012-05-22 15:58:53

My name is Jason. I am a hardworking 28 year old married man with three wonderful children 7, 4, and 1 month old, and the best wife anyone could ever ask for. When I and my wife married we were “given” my parents’ home in NY along with the mortgage as a wedding present. My wife and I have spent the last three years renovating this home, dumping every single cent we had into its improvement. We both come from broken homes and both wanted something more than what we came from, and have managed to build a loving stress free environment for our family, and in a matter of a month my “family” (brother, mother and father) have managed to crush our dream out of selfishness and this, “the world owes me something” mentality they all seem to have.
I work full time and also do side jobs on weekends to make ends meet, my wife has been out of work on disability (she will return full time in the next 3 weeks) due to the birth of our son, which should be the happiest time of our life, and yet I get to go home and see my children upset wondering why there uncle is acting the way he is, I get to see my wife cry over the fact that we have been basically reminded that even though we pay the bill and we fix this home and have made it what it never was for me growing up an actual home, that it is not ours and we should have no say over what happens.
My brother who at one time made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year an selfish heartless drug addict, who even though has never treated me or my family with any respect I have always dropped what I am doing regardless of time or place to go “save him”, and by save usually picking his drug addict ass up and making sure he gets home, or dropping what I’m doing to take him to the hospital cause he is so sick from whatever he has taken this time. Now that brother has decided to move in with us, not ask, not offer to help, but blatantly tell me and my wife, “it’s not your house , I am not asking permission to stay here”, and my parents who told me this home was a “Wedding gift” seem to agree. They feel it’s okay for a drug addict to be living among children, that it’s okay that slowly one by one pieces of my wife’s jewelry are disappearing, or that since he came has literally taken over my infant sons nursery with his disgusting belongings that I found my wife sitting on the floor of the living room trying to feed the baby because he’s asleep on the sofa passed out cold and his belonging are strewn all over the house.
My only options are to buy this home that I and my wife have built a great life in so I can say who stays and goes, or to uproot my children and move as far from these selfish disgusting people as possible.
In order to purchase this home I would need a deposit upwards of 12000 which due to me draining my accounts my sons accounts and my wife’s to “save” my brother from jail, drug dealers, etc., we have nothing left. Which has led me here, led me to the point where I feel more dependent on asking strangers for help than my own family because they can’t even help themselves? I am the little brother (youngest of four) who has always had to be the big brother, I am the one one whose entire family drops there problems in my lap as if to say deal with it. I have been the pillar supporting every single family member I have for the last 28 years, the pillar has finally cracked and can’t hold up the weight of the world anymore. I am begging on my hands and knees for help from completer strangers so I can continue to give my children the life I never had, and offer them some stability instead of having to tear them from the home they have come to love, that my wife has come to love, that I love. I want to give my children the world but my family continues to assure that won’t happen under there watch. Please I beg of you with everything I am I need help. Please don’t make us just another statistic, I found my calling and made a life for my wife and children, I have put aside pride, because they are all that matters to me. Thank You for taking the time to read this and thank you for any support or help you can provide.

hello. my name is Darren, recently we lost our trailor, in the country, on the beautiful land we purchased in hopes of building a home on someday. Because our nieghbors changed thier land zoning from agriculture to residential, which because we dont own enough land automatically changed our zoning so we got a 30 day notice to get rid of our home. forcing us to move into seperate homes staying with friends until we can get a double wide home to be legal on our land. my signifigant other, Melinda, has recently lost her job and has no insurance and 9 days ago fell down a flight of stairs breaking her pelvis, L-5 vertabrea, 3 ribs, tail bone, skull and orbital. she had surgery on her pelvis a week agoe, and cannot yet even stand. with no home to rehabilitate in and no insurance, it just seems like everything is crashing in around us. It is slow where i am working which with her not working and medical bills from my recent neck surgery piling up, and having to get another vehicle because ours finally kicked the bucket, its just to much. I have been staying at the hospital with her and going to work from there but wow with gas the way it is i have no clue how we are suposed to get out of this pool of debt we are falling into... our two girls who are both 10(one mine and one hers) Madisen and Bailey, are staying with relatives while we go through this life trial... any help, any at all would be a god send, help rehabilitating her, an old double wide trailor not being used we could move onto the property so we could be a family unit again, any money to help pay bills and buy meds, gas, food, clothes for our growing girls! any help, ANYTHING at ALL would be greatly apriciated... i have a paypal account if this website even works... im shaking while im typing this, i hope to god this isnt a sham. thank you from the bottom of my heart. my email for paypal is doglooplab69@live.com please help us and thank you dearly, Darren... to get ahold of us our email is doglooplab69@live.com

Last resort.

I just don’t know what to do, I am a 23-year-old female. I was mainly raised by my mother (58) she was married for a number of years and is now divorced. We had an excellent relationship up until I was about 11 when we moved from the city to the smallest village in the middle of no where, when I was 16 I moved back to the city to attend college, I was home schooled from the age of 13 so had to do make up courses if I ever wanted to attend university as I never got any schooling qualifications.
Over the years Iv tried to visit as much as I can but with schooling taking up most of my time and due to us living about 9 hours apart, is been difficult.
We are both very similar, which causes a lot of arguments, both equally stubborn. We fight a lot.
She’s dealt with a lot, such as a three-year prosecution agents her, which absolutely broke her, mentally and emotionally, it was a hard time for both of us, my grades suffered a lot and I began to worry about her mental health. Because it went on for so long, a lot of our arguments would be blamed on the stress of the whole situation. I always thought that once it was over, we would get better.
I graduated from university a year ago and it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve been able to visit more frequently. I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to fix our broken relationship,
When ever I visit, it gets to about a week, a week and a half and I just have to leave in fear our relationship would just crumble, this time it’s a little different, I broke up with my boyfriend of a year, who I was living in the city with and decided to get away so about two weeks ago I came to my mums, then within a few day a friend of ours (yes we share friends, we are VERY similar) was raped and beaten up, said friend is very messed up about it and has needed me around, you know just to listen, pretty much just to be here. So I decided to stay longer, when out of the blue my dog died. This dog was my guardian angle and helped to keep me strong when times where hard. Having him leave me was probably the single most heart-breaking moment of my life so far (don’t think I’m just inexperienced with life (my partner (my first-love/childhood sweetheart) of 7 years and I broke up less then two years ago) I know heart-break.
We have argued less this time considering the circumstances, but not for lack of her trying, well that’s how it feels. With everything that’s going on anytime I feel tension in the air I have just said “No, not now, we will not argue” and either left the room or had a time out if we were in the car or something.
She’s very ‘bohemian’ has a very radical way of thinking, outspoken and always on the side of the underdog, I have absolutely no problems with this and I most defiantly love her for exactly who she is. She’s been the best teacher of life, she’s had a hard life, and I feel I am more educated against the world because of the way we can talk about things.
When I’m here I try to put some order to the chaos, you know tide up (its always a mess) it’s a big house and can take ages to clean ever room.
I just broke down, I was cleaning the kitchen, and this isn’t just polish and vacuum. I was removing all the moulding fruit and vegetables from the bowl, when I noticed that she had three bags of potatoes in the fruit bowl. I wrapped them up to put them in the potato draw only to find a draw full of rotting potatoes.
She hoards stuff, I tried to throw away a few disposable Tupperware boxes when she told me she uses them to store things, fair enough. Then I notice a huge stack of them on top of the cabinet, like she hasn’t even considered using those ones.
This all sounds so stupid, I know, but usually when id be strong enough to just brush it off and sort it out, I don’t have that strength rite now, I am so worried for her, I am beginning to feel as though perhaps I should move in with her to be her carer, but we don’t have the sort of relationship that we could live together full time, last time that happened I was 15 and I would hate to live in this area again, I have nothing but bad memories from my childhood here. The people are very closed minded and keep them selves to them selves, my mum loves it here, she grew up in Africa, and says round here reminds her of a happier time. It’s not for me.
And on top of it all, she doesn’t earn very much money (she practically volunteers at a place to help people with special needs) and iv been struggling to find a job for months now, iv started receiving benefits with is £50 per week, but the debt of our dog dyeing is at least £500, and our other dog has to have an operation to have his eye removed this Friday (which is just more £££) all my benefits are going towards that and all the money she can keep aside goes on that as well.
The house is falling down, her ex husband was a builder and they had brought a run down place to do up, he smoked away all his time and practically nothing got done. She’s lived here for over 10 years and only a few weeks ago had windows fitted in the kitchen, before it was just stretched plastic. Most of the walls are just plasterboard, the sink is broken, we have to carry water down from the bathroom to do the washing up.
I don’t know what to do, I worry about her mental well being, I don’t know if she’s developing Alzheimer’s, she had a memory test at the doctors and they said she was fine, but I just don’t see how this can be the case. I worry about her physical state, she has extremely bad arthritis and struggles to move somedays. I worry about her financial situation, but without work there’s nothing more then £50 a week I can do.
I am not keep my job search limited to my degree; I have applied for supermarkets, MacDonald’s, all manor of places all over the country.
I feel more then ridiculous for posting this, but I don’t want to be a burden on the people in my life, and simple don’t know what to do anymore.
Grammar and spelling aren’t a strong point of mine, please don’t judge me on that.

TL;DR - I need to help my mother financially, to fix the crumbling house, to pay vet bills, to fix our relationship and just to survive when life is hard.

FAMILY of 6 in desperate need

Posted by grneye568 on 2011-10-26 17:58:02

Hello to you, for reading this.
I am 43 single mom of 5, and 3 grandchildren.
I have always provided the best I can for them but have been laid-off for 3 months now.
I lost my home and moved in with my daughter, very small apartment for family of six right now. My daughter worked in a nursing facility that was recently closed down for the state not having enough funds.Basically political, I think.
So now all said and done she is out of work, with my 2 granchildren, and 1 baby in which she has temporary custody because the mom of baby did not take care of herself.We have about 1200 dollars in utility bills with shut off notices, no money for winter clothing, especially for children, no money for food (and yes we wait in lines at food pantries) but yuck. But its food. Our rent is already a month and a half late. We are very worried. I send out resumes everyday...but still wonder when I do get a job, about how I will get there, with gas, and winter coming I have real bad tires. Its really everyones nitemare that society is going thru. Not just ours. i have never asked for help like this and really dont know what to think of it but if there are people out there that truly donate to families> GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Hello everyone,
My name is Michelle.
My hubby(Bill) and I are here asking for a helping hand in getting baby stuff for our baby.
I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and we are currently living with some friends of ours.
My hubby is looking for a job,but is having a hard time finding work.
We are asking for any help at all!!!
A job for my hubby or for myself, baby stuff( we do have a crib and mattress)or a little help with cash or a Walmart gift card or if you could purchase the items at Walmart under me name so that I can pick them up at the Walmart closest to me, that would work too. If you can not afford to do that but could spare just 1 PENNY that would help a lot.
Thank you all for reading and for any help you can spare!

Sincerely,
A mommy to be, her loving hubby and of course their baby to be,

Need all around help

Posted by DownNoutNJville on 2011-10-17 16:58:28

As I was saying I have been suffering with a broken tooth for over a month and I dont have money to get it pulled so I jusr suffer and take Motrin all the time. Nobody will help us so we just try to do the best we can but it is vad and serious now and we need help really bad. We are struggling to fees our family because of everything else we have to pay. But if we lose any of the other things we will be worse off than we are now. I was skeptical about doing this but we have tried everything we can. I was skeptical because of the fraudulent sites out there. I have tried another site and they wanted my banking info and they were trying to mess over us. We are already in bad shape we need help not hurt. Christmas looks like it wont happen this year. The girls each asked for one thing and we cant get them that. They are 22- college student she wants a playstation 3, 17- high school senior she wants a laptop computer so she can do her work because ours keeps breaking down, 13- middle school she wants a nintendo ds, 11- middle school she wants a psp 3000 sports pack and all of them have good grades two of them have straight A's ( the college student and the 11 year old ) I am proud of them and wish I could do something for them all but I cant at this time. PLEASE SOMEONE FIND THE KINDNESS IN YOUR HEART AND HELP US. GOD BLESS.

Need help paying house taxes

Posted by homeowner on 2011-10-15 07:58:58

We live in a small, cheap, dumpy house, but its our home. Its nothing fancy, its small, and we are crowded in here. We are two years behind in taxes because we both lost our jobs last year. My husband was self employed, and the due to the economy in michigan we had to close down. So, no unemployment. I worked two part-time jobs, and lost both of them. again, no unemployment. We have been living off savings, and selling stuff, but it isnt enough. My husband has put in over 150 resume's, I have put in a 103. No one wants to hire people in their 40's and 50's when they can hire someone in their 20's or 30's.

We just got a notice our house will go up for tax sale in March if we dont pay $1,700. We cant get a loan without employment. Our house payment is cheaper than rent, so selling isnt much of an option, especially since the market here is so down, I doubt we could even find a buyer. We don't expect to get $1700 obviously, but even if we could get something to put down on it and buy us some time.

We have three kids, our cars are 13 years old, and we have never bought new anything. We never lived off credit cards or run ourselves into debt. I shop at thrift stores, and coupon for groceries. Its not a matter of wasting our money, but being unable to stretch what we have to cover this. I'm sure there are millions of families just like ours. I promise that if we get help, we will pay it forward once we are back on our feet.

Help Us Get a New Start - Save Our Home Please

Posted by ucanchangemylife on 2011-09-24 15:58:52

Dear Angels:

Over the last three years, my wife and I have been working as hard as we can to change our lives for the better. We both have jobs and we are hard working people. Many years ago, we made some bad financial choices and have been paying for it ever since. This year promised to turn things around for us. I began a business on the side of work, putting in many hours outside of my job. Hope was bright. But when I lost my job and was out of work for 2 months, things took a change for the worse. During this time we were also hit with a very large and unexpected "special assement" from our condo board, and my business also failed. The debt piled up quickly and we are now in jeopardy of losing our home.

Our vehicle has already been reposesed and we are struggling to get to our jobs as they are located at a long distance from where we live. Life has gotten very heavy and we could use a glimmer of hope. We have been trying so hard...

When I found this website, I can assure you it was out of desperation. It costs me some pride to be here writing this but the anonymity of it is comforting. Realize something please: I could be a relative of yours, a friend, brother, sister, son or daughter who is too ashamed to ask for your help. And even though we are most likely perfect strangers, we are connected by something higher.

Please, find it in your heart to trust and give us a chance to recover. One dollar from you could mean a lifetime of difference to us. And be assured, what you give will come back to you three fold.

God bless you for your kind heart. And from the bottom of ours, Thank You...

My Brother's Wedding

Posted by mybrotherswedding on 2011-09-04 00:58:12

My brother is getting married 8,500 miles away this December. My husband, my son and I would love to attend, but we can't save fast enough.

Four years ago, my husband married me even though I was in crushing debt. He's never been in debt -- ever. He took on my liabilities, made them ours. He is helping me dig myself out of that hole. Then he lost his job teaching art in the public school system -- in this economy, these are the jobs that are being cut, and no one's hiring. For someone who's always worked, being un/underemployed just sucks. So we moved in with his mother, just so we had a fighting chance. I do have a job, and he was able to find a part-time job, but we can't support ourselves fully, pay off our debt, and still save fast enough in time for the wedding. We do our best, we have never been extravagant. We were this close to finally climbing out of this hole ... but then, last month, we got hit with this ruthless dental bill.

To make matters worse, my husband and his mother are making each other crazy, and she has given us an ultimatum to get out of her house -- March 2012.

In the meantime, my brother's wedding is fast approaching. We can't afford to attend AND move out if we are still in debt when we get on that plane. Not without your help.

We've tried to do things right -- take personal responsibility, pay off our debt, not take on more, raise our kid ourselves ... but there seems to be some conspiracy against allowing us to get our heads above water. I have never been debt-free in all of my adult life, and I have never begged either.

But it is time. For both.

Help us, pleeeeez!!!

The airfare is about $1,500 apiece. That's $4500 for the three of us. On Coach. It's not much, but it's more than we can scrape together by December. The balance on my credit cards is down from thirty grand to $4,000. Only with God's grace, my husband's big heart and my commitment to my husband and son have I managed to bring it down that much! But we still need to get rid of it before we can move out.

Anything we receive over $8500 will go towards getting out of my MIL's house. My husband needs a break, and she deserves her house back.

Please, whatever you can ...

My daughter is in the hospital

Posted by hartmanR on 2011-06-11 17:58:37

My daughter is very ill, the doctors are still trying to figure out how bad her cancer has spread she has been in the hospital for 3 months now. We have made ours lives around this hospital the last few months and now I have lost my job and my husband is about to lose his since he has used all his sick time and vacation time. We are up to date with most of our payments and I have taken any avenue that I can to get help and this is my last resort. Any type of donations to Tabby and our family that would be great. Thank you for your time and any donation you wish to make.

Embarrassed but desperate for a little help

Posted by Negra on 2011-06-07 17:58:55

Please help me keep my family together. We're living check to check with next to nothing extra leftover. Our money issues continues to strain my marriage and I can't sleep at night due to our endless bills. Playing this game of deciding who will get paid what month is extremely draining. We're going on three very long years struggling and I sincerely don't know how much longer I can continue this way. I'm mentally exhausted. I wake up and go to bed thinking about our bills. Every time I think I'll soon see a light at the end of the tunnel something breaks down or a new bill appears. Since being diagnosed with breast cancer and treated, I've inheritted medical bills I cannot pay. We no longer pick up our phone as it's always a bill collector. The harder I try to get us caught up with our bills the more surprises come up. My husband's hours being cut even further to nearly part-time status from full-time was the final straw that led me to doing this. Ours are normal bills, nothing extravagant. I don't know how I'm going to keep up with our monthly utility bills, pay our mortgage, feed ourselves and pay for gas for us to get to work. We're hard working people, always have been. We've also always blessed others over the years without thinking twice about it. Thank you for reading about us. Knowing that God will never give us more than we can handle -- even when we feel otherwise is partly what keeps me going.

Family in need of help

Posted by help on 2011-05-26 23:58:07

I drowning in debt, struggling to make ends meet, terrified of being out of a job, and currently working for a company that will be making redundancies, struggling to buy food for the family and robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I owe a large sum of money to my parents. I cannot pay them back in the present economic climate. Both parents have retired to a country were they were both born and in the meantime my Mother’s brothers and sisters have deceased in the last few years and she dying slowly of not seeing her children and being alone I a remote part of country. My Mother is in poor health and needs medication regularly to try to get better. The only way to help her is get her back to the UK to be with her love ones and those care for her. This involves buying a small home or converting ours. This will depend if there are any offers of help from someone who has the funds or heart to help us. Being isolated and alone in a third world country where crime is higher than the UK just makes life so much harder to bear.


This situation is affecting my happiness with my immediate family and could break us apart. I am scared of what the future holds and have no where to turn and I taking my problems out on family. Thank for reading this message.

Closet Project

Posted by ghostly on 2011-04-27 13:58:35

It's no secret, my closet is a disaster. Ten years ago, before my dad died, this was a project of ours we had started. The pole and shelf in my closet had fallen and the brackets had ripped out of the wall. It was our vision to take out the pole all together, that was clearly not going to work with all the weight of the clothes, and just redesign the inside of my closet where I had shelves going all the way up. I have a type of containers that I had my clothes in nice and neatly, one for shoes, and the rest of my stuff I keep in boxes. We had the idea that the shelves would be so much more convenient. Well, when my dad got sick with lung cancer, all of our ideas went on hold due to that he was just too sick. I have all my clothes in bags and just piled in my closet wherever they would fit. My request is simple, I need help with brackets to hold up shelves, and the shelves themselves. I will be more than happy with any help, the right size cut boards for shelves, sand paper, varnish, nails, a stud finder, any supplies I would be grateful to receive more than money to buy them with, but donations would be welcome. I added my PayPal. If you would like to help me with supplies, or if you are a builder who knows how I would measure or can suggest anything that could make my project a reality, I would appreciate any kind of help. This was something my dad and I started when he was alive. My heart would just like to see it completed. Thank you for reading.

I Need a House, a lot and some capital for a business.

I am a Filipina, 61, blind. My husband is 63, retired from masonry work, and has lung disease. We had 7 children, 4 of which married with less fortunate spouses, the other 3 are still single.

Since 1980s we didn't have electricity in our remote province and while everyone else started to have electricity we still couldn't because the land is not ours.Our house just looks like a nipa hut and everyday I always think about the future of my children. I also have a child who has an ear defect that he couldn't speak in the national dialect. He only understands signs. It should have been prevented years ago if I had some financial resources. I believe that cyber begging is unethical but I am not shy anymore because I am doing this for my children. I had a son who is good in English so I told him to translate what I'm going to say.

I will earnestly thank for whatever amount you can donate. Maybe it would be enough to buy a land and a small house for my family in Region 1 of Philippines but I will be very thankful. We don't have television or any other from of entertainment. You can verify this by visiting my place. I do have 2 very hardworking children who work and study in college but they might stop again.

I don't have any bank account so pls. donate through PayPal (I don't know exactly how PayPal works)or send to my address: Erlinda P. Soriano at 48 Binato St., Jimenez, Mapandan 2429 Pangasinan Philippines. I apologize I had to do this. If you are better off with life, maybe you can share some of your blessings to the less fortunate people, esp. in my country.

Thank you very much,
Linda

Renters Rights in a Senior Housing

Posted by Gateway on 2011-01-26 00:58:58

We have met with extreme elderly abuse by our present manager. We were recycling cans and having fundraiser dinners etc in order to cover printing of fliers. However, the manager has interfered by doing the same thing --by announcing a dinner the day before ours. Went door to door telling residents that they must turn their cans into the office.
The manager has threatened eviction to anyone who attends our meetings. In fact did so to the past President. We are in need of any guidance and funds that will assist. We are talking about big structure problems --wiring, heavy doors for the handicaped, toxic fumes and many more-- we need to continue this struggle. Thank you.

Dont let the past steal your present PLEASE HELP...

Posted by THEFULLMONTY on 2011-01-17 18:58:58

Please help me – I need to raise at least $15,000 by January 31, 2011...

Here's my story:

In November of 2010 my whole world feel apart thanks in part to my ex fiance who decided to inform my boss at the time that I had been embezzling from his company for years. He did this because he cannot get custody of my 3 year old daughter after I threw him out, due to his addictions and the fact that he is homeless and unemployed.

Yes I did take things to sell from the store I worked at, but I only did it because my ex refused to work. I should have known better to believe in a man who was an alcoholic, pot-head, but I was guilty of the “love is blind” syndrome that so many of us fall into. I just didn't see how messed up things were until I threw this man out after he professed to having been “just hanging around” for the last year of our relationship. He had the audacity to sit there in the house that I was paying ALL the bills for and expect me to let him stay until he could leave on his own terms I guess.

I admitted guilt to my former employer, what I did I know was wrong and if I could I would pay back every penny right now.

My former boss is in his late thirties, still lives at home with his parents, never had his own place, never had to pay any bills before he got his company in 2007, comes from a family of money, has no kids or wife to speak of, and is the biggest chauvinistic pig I ever met.
I have told him about my situation and why it is that I felt compelled to steal to provide for my family but he just doesn't care. He wants all of his money and he wants it right now!

I asked all of my relatives to help me so that I won't go to jail but I come from poor people, good – but poor people.

If love was worth its weight in gold my family would be richer than God.

But we all know how much the all mighty dollar takes precedence over everything else in our corrupt world don't we?

My boss is demanding that I pay him back $30000 or else he will turn me in to the police and have me arrested. He has real evidence of my theft thanks to my ex fiance, and he has given me until the end of January 2011 to come up with $15,000. I have $7000 in my income taxes that am going to give him but I need some help coming up with the other $8000. Then I will have to try to come up with the other $15000 next year as that is when he has given me to do it.

I am a single mom who is currently unemployed since November because my former employer won't give me a good reference due to the nature of what transpired. I can't say that I blame him but I don't think that he realizes how hard it is to be poor and struggling to take care of your family. I am three months behind in my rent and am making plans to move in with my daughter so that I can get back on my feet.



It is coming down to the wire on what time is remaining...

I am hoping that if I can get $15,000 together before January 31, 2011 I may be able to make my former employer settle for this amount, or at least get him to give me a few more weeks or months to try to get the money he is demanding together.

I am afraid that if I go to jail I will lose custody of my little daughter to her messed up father and I just cannot let that happen that is why I am resorting to begging strangers for money to help me out.

If anyone out there is willing to help me out I would much appreciate anything you can send...

Every dollar counts – if you can only spare just one...

Maybe enough people will respond to get me through this nightmare and let me get my life back.

The only thing I can offer in return is a prayer and good wishes to anyone who can contribute.

But even if you can't and wish you could I still appreciate the thoughts...

I have been praying to God for a miracle since this all began – but I guess God must be busy helping the countless numbers of other unfortunate souls who desperately need him in this f- - ked up world of ours...
