I've really been trying to keep my household together and pay my bill's, but it's seem as though every time I get one thing out the way to more things come up. I've been living here in Jackson, MS for 2 yrs originally I'm from New Orleans, LA and I like it here if I can just get it together.

My car broke down on me 3 weeks ago, and the following week I lost my job cause I couldn't get to work, and that brings me to this problem today. I'm a single parent with a teenage daughter, right now things in my life are so backed up.

I've had my lights, gas, and water all cut off in the same week after losing my job that was my only source of income my daughter get's survivor benefits every month but that's only a small amount. Her dad passed away 3 years ago but he is with GOD! In my life I feel very hopeful in knowing there are some good people in this world.

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

I want to thank each and everyone that took thier precious time out to help me with this unfortunately hardship that I'm experiencing. If it wasn't for such wonderful people and their families like yourselves I don't know what I would have done to make this payment. It makes me feel really great to know I can stop worrying because 'GOD' sent me some angels to take care of my situation. I'm very very greatful and will never forget in my time of need how I recieve help from good godly people that didn't have to but because they cared, took their hard earning money and gave me hope. This has surely open my eyes to being more concern and caring about others in their time of need. Thank You and your families for considering me and mines you've be a blessing in our life that have taught us a lesson in what it means to care about others. Thank You, so so much May God Keep Blessing You and your families.
