hello eveyone. as you all know my family has been in a fema trailer for 9 months now. we finally came a cross a home for rent and it is ours. however we have to pay 1.5 months deposit. we gave them all our money but we are short 478.00 i guess i am now hoping for a miricale or something. so anxious to get out of this trailer it is unbelievable. but i just wanted to let those of you who knew about my situation know that finally well we cant move of course untill we get the 478, but it is ours. please if you could send out a prayer for us i would appreciate it. but i am glad that we finally got a home. thanks for reading and god bless.
is there really free grants somewhere where you do not have to pay for a application fee, or no up front fees? i have heard all this stuff about grants but have never seen a conclusion. please someone tell me what is really going on.... thanks
hello to all, how is everyone? i just wanted to let everyone know how i am today. i am really nervous actually and this is why. 1:30 tomorrow i have to go to the hospital and have surgery... yeah time to take out the gallbladder. i would just like everyone to pray for it to go well. it has been quite hectic with the impact of the flood on us and then my whole family getting sick with the flu that is going around. yes we are still in a fema trailer but i have realized that asking for money is hopeless. i work very hard to keep my family safe and going and realized that asking for prayers is more than any money in the world. thanks for reading my post if anyone is interested in seeing my devistational pictures of the things my family lost please message me with your e-mail. god bless everyone and be happy. for greater things will come in time.
hello everyone as you know i have been waiting and hoping to find a house for my family. since the flood, unfourtunatly i have had more downfalls than ever in my life. 4 months after i had to have all my wisdom teeth taken out, my dad had surgery, my husband will be leaving for a year in another month, and last i have to have surgery tuesday. it just seems that it takes a long time to get back on our feet. i am not asking for any money. just maybe a prayer to make it through my surgery so i can recover and my kids will be happy. however i also do wish that you pray my family finds a house that we can afford. thank you so much for reading my blog and please respond if you have any ideas or anything that might help us make it through, thanks again and god bless you all.
hello, how is everyone today you know i kind of got a wake up call. i have been putting post on for over 2 months now wanting and asking for help. i really dont know what the world is coming to but desperate times come for desperate mesures. i am going to just make one wish on this post and hope that all would consider doing it for me. instead of asking for financial help or even advice i would like anyone that could just pray for my family. just pray and ask God to let us all be healthy and pray we get a house soon. i want to thank anyone that does this for me. i know God will listen, he listens to everyone. thank you
hello, everyone again and still trying to speak out for help. we still are in our fema trailer. i guess if i had one wish i could make it would be for everyone on this sight to donate a dollar. but that is not really the case it is hard enouph to ask for advice. i am thankful for all the information that was given to me but in reality it has got me no where. my husband will be leaving in a few months for a year and i do not want to be in this place after he is gone, rent prices have gone up and pay rate has stayed the same i guess i am not doing so great today although i hope everyone else is doing good. if anyone would like to contribute to my savings jar to get out of here it would be greatly appreciated. here is my address incase anyone is interested thanks for reading and hope everything is great for you all.
