Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

User-submitted image -  Click to see real sizeI just want to take this moment to thank you for the generosity of spirit and kindness that you have shown towards my family in our hour of need. In these bleak times where it seems like most people are totally consumed with their own worries and situations, I want you to know that you have been a light to someone in need and that it means the world to us. I pray that God bless you abundantly- above and beyond your expectations and that his Spirit of hope, peace, love and prosperity cover your each of your households. Very truly yours, Vanessa Rivera 'Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.' -Luke 6:38



Husband Abandonded His Family, Left Them With Overdue Rent Bill

My Story:

I am a mom of three beautiful children. Mariselis, who is sixteen is a straight A student at an art and design highschool. My son Isaiah is going on fifteen and he is a very thoughtful child. My youngest child Anelisse is my sweet heart and my little tom boy. She loves sports and playing the drums.

In February, my husband of 20 years and father of my children abandoned us to live with his pregnant mistress. Our current lease is under his name and although he promised me that he was paying the rent, I recently discovered that he had not paid anything since October. I have since paid $4300 in back rent, but I am still behind. I just need a little help to catch up. My husband really left me in a financial hole. My husband refuses to help me pay for any expenses since his mistress became pregnant.

This funding can help me to catch up to my rent, which in turn will allow me to pay other bills that I have been neglecting, and to afford the things my children need, like clothing and graduation dues, food, doctor co-pays and medication. Any help that I can receive to pay my rent would be greatly appreciated. I just want to keep a roof over my children's heads.
