My story isn't unlike thousands of other single Moms trying to make ends meet.
I have worked hard all my life. I can barley remember a time when I didn't have a job. I'm not someone who is a slcker by any means. I'm just someone who is desperately in need of your help. It all started about 6 years ago...
I was, I thought happily married and going about business as usual when my husband of 10 years decided he didn’t love us anymore and left. We didn’t have a hard life, things were tight, but isn’t that the way for most of us? Anyway, he just gave up and went his merry way. Had I not had the faith I do I am sure I would have fallen apart but instead I decided to make the best of a bad situation and move forward. My son and I would be fine. I had a job, we had a roof over our heads, food to eat, things could be much worse. I wasn’t thinking then of how I was going to pay the bills but as time went on it was more and more apparent that I needed to find a second income if I wanted to stay where we were. Which was a twin home on a busy neighborhood street. At least my son was in a good setting with kids to play with and as normal a life as possible. So the hunt began for something I could do at home, on the Internet if possible. Well, if you have any experience trying to make money on the Internet you will totally relate to what happened to me next.
I thought WOW… I can just do what the GURU’s were telling me to do and I would make thousands of dollars in 24 hours…. :):)
OH… MY WORD!!! :(:( I tried every program, every survey, every break though product program, every so called money making opportunity out there, until I realized I just don’t have what it takes to do what these people who claim to be making all this money do!! I mean either, I am really stupid or you need more money FOR ADVERTISING COSTS then they tell you about. I went into DEBT trying to start a home business so I could keep a roof over our heads. I lost our house, I couldn’t afford the expenses anymore, and I am still left with $25,000.00 worth of Debt that I have no way to pay. I can’t get a lone I don’t own anything. I don’t have collateral, my credit is in the trash and I can’t afford the payments to go with a settlement company. Basically I am up a river and I DON’T HAVE A PADDLE!!!! My phone rings constantly with the bill collectors calling so I don’t answer it anymore. I can’t pay them. What more can I tell them. There is nothing I can do and so…..
I went into my room (Heart) closed the door and asked the Lord for help. The answer I received was to write my story, tell the entire TRUTH of the matter, to the whole world, embarassing as it is, and BEG for help. So, that’s how this Blog came to be. I am BEGGING For Funds to payoff this Debt. In return for anything you may feel you can give or are moved to give I can only offer you my Eternal Thanks and a spot on my Prayer List. Prayer is a gift the Lord has sent to me and I LOVE to pray. My promise to you is to pray for you and your family, should you be moved to make a donation, for the rest of my life.
Once I am out of this situation, I plan to continue my BEGGING. Not for myself but for those who are much less fortunate than I. Not that I will be accepting donations on their behalf. My plan is to provide my readers with links to programs, foundations, and non-profit organizations that specifically FEED & HOUSE THE POOR. I also want to provide a place (a forum I am thinking) where others can post their stories and perhaps we can form a community where people are helping people by responding to circumstances that have moved you in some way to help in what ever capacity you can.
This is the path my Lord has laid out for me; I intend to follow it to the best of my ability. I am asking, No, BEGGING for your help. Please send your donations through
