Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

User-submitted image -  Click to see real sizeToday just when I thought it can't get any worse, an my thought of giving up was my only answer, I received the help I so desperately needed from modest needs. I can't begin to tell you how much that turned my life around, I do have hope left, an giving up is no longer my choice. If people like you have faith in me, then I have to have faith also. I won't lie it hasn't been easy, losing my child didn't define me, but it sure changed me. For what you have done for me restored a lot of what I thought I had lost, words can never express what you have given me back, an not because you had to , but you wanted to, an that fills my heart, when it was once so empty. You have given me more than you realize an I can't thank you enough, an I won't forget who gave me my new outlook in life.I hope one day I can help someone the way you have helped me so kindly.A million thank you's couldn't say it enough, but know from the bottom of my heart you have given me what I needed to pick up the pieces an carry on. You renewed my faith an gave me strength to be the person I can be. Thank you with all my heart.



I Have Breast Cancer & Just Buried My Only Child. The Expenses Meant I Couldn't Pay Rent. Help!

My Story:

I am a single mother who has been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. I have been doing chemo treatments which make me so sick and its very hard for me to work, but I do the best I can.

Recently, my son & only child passed away. Between his cremation, my medical expenses, and the time off I've had to take because the chemo makes me sick, this month, I'm short on funds. I already know that this month, I won't be able to pay my rent. I've never completely missed a rental payment before, but my landlord is all about business, and if I can't pay both February and March's rent by March 4th, I'm going to be evicted.

That's why I am seeking help. I really need a helping hand to keep my home. I've never asked for help from anyone before, and now that I really need help, everybody has told me I don't qualify to receive it because I have no more dependents. I'm so discouraged, but your help would go a long way towards giving me the hope I need to keep fighting. If you could please help me stay in my home, I'd be more grateful than you could ever know. Thank you.
