Hello, I am in need of help paying my rent due to my father having esophageal cancer, and I had to quit my part time job to help my mother take care of him. Also my fiancé receives social security, and since August they have had is monthly amount messed up, he has recently received a letter stating he will be receiving his correct amount in January 2010.

Due to these situations we have falling behind in a few bills, our rent car payments etc. We have gotten our car payments paid up but our rent is what we are having problems with. If you help me with this it will put us back on track and uplift the stress I am under do to my financial situation. I would appreciate any help you can lend me. Thank You .

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

I would like to start by thanking every body who donated to help me and my family. This is a true blessing for us. My faith has really been tested in the past year, finding out my father has cancer, and the toll it has taking on my family. Then my finacial situation adding to it, has put me under a great deal of stress. Checking my e-mails every day thinking time is running out , it's getting close to the dead line. Thinking people just don't have it to help these days it's hard times for alot of people.But I was proven wrong, people do care. When I read the e-mail tonite I began to cry, my finace asked me what was wrong when I told him they helped us . His only words were thank you LORD for sending these angels to us in our time of need. Your help means so much to me and my family. It gives us hope. I have never had to ask for help before, it was so hard for me, I felt ashamed. But you have showed me that people won't judge me and it's ok to ask for help, just like it's ok to help.I would like to finish by saying god will bless you for all you have done. I plan on becomimg a donor my self, because I want to make someone feel the warmth, joy and hope you have made me feel. Thank you again and god bless everyone of you. Penny
