I need help paying my rent. I had two part-time jobs. I lost one job June 16th, 2009 along with my other job August 2nd, 2009. I am alone and had no income whatsoever (No employment - Nothing) With the Michigan job market, and I believe being 58 years old, I had no luck in the job market so I started my own house-cleaning business. To my dismay the business did not fly like I thought it would especially being the Christmas season. I am able to pay a small portion of my bills (not totally of course) and when it comes to my carrying charge (rent) every month I'm stumped. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my story.

Iwould like to thank all my donors for every single dollar that was donated out of their heart and compassion.
