Dear Generous Donors,

My daughter is disabled and is having a lot of health difficulties. She is a beautiful young woman who graduated from college and was looking forward to a full life until she was stricken with lupus. It has been a hard time for her and myself.

To complicate things I lost my job of twenty years and took a part-time job. I am diabetic and I have no health coverage. This month my hours were cut on my part-time job and I need help paying rent this month. I have applied numerous jobs every day and I am not a lazy person. I just need a little help.

Thank you. 'Peace will not come out of a clash of arms but out of justice lived and done by unarmed nations in the face of odds.' ~Mahatma Ghandi

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

Dear Donors, I would like to express my appreciation for your generosity. Without you my daughter and I would not be able to pay our rent for the month. When I lost my job of 20 years, I had no idea that I would ever be in this position. Our financial situation is more difficult because my daughter is disabled. It is so good to know that there are wonderful people like you in the world to help people like me and my daughter. In the words of Jean-Baptiste Mossieu, 'Gratitude is a memory of the heart.' You and the kindness you have shown me and my daughter will forever be in our hearts. Again, please accept our happy and very grateful thank you. Deborah W. El
