     MY NAME IS PEGGY J, I AM 70YRS OLD. I HAVE WORKED MY ENTIRE LIFE AND RAISED FOUR CHILDREN, I LOST TWO AT BIRTH. I HAVE ALWAY'S PULLED MY OWN WEIGHT, NO MATTER HOW HEAVY MY BURDEN. I HAVE HAD A STROKE AND A HEART ATTACK. I HAVE ALWAY'S DONE WHAT IT TAKE'S TO MAKE IT IN LIFE. NOW I AM ON MY LAST ROAD, AND I AM LOST. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME NOW. THE GOVERNMENT THINK'S A PERSON CAN LIVE ON A (SSI) CHECK OF $600.00 DOLLAR'S A MONTH . I DON'T KNOW HOW. MY PROBLEM IS I LIVE EIGHT MILES FROM TOWN, AND MY CAR IS BROKE DOWN ON A DAILY BASIS. I DONT HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT, IT ALREADY HAS OVER 300 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. I THINK IT'S ALOT LIKE ME, OLD, TIRED, AND BROKEN DOWN. MY FAMILY HAS NO WAY TO HELP ME. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO ASK ANYONE FOR HELP BEFORE, BUT I FIND MYSELF WITH NO OTHER OPTION'S NOW, BUT TO ASK FOR HELP. WE DON'T HAVE MANY CHURCHES WE CAN ASK FOR HELP AROUND HERE. AND I AM IN DESPERATE NEED. IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME IN ANYWAY POSSIBLE, I WOULD BE FOREVER GRATEFULL. I HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN. I CAN'T GET TO MY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT'S, THE GROCERY STORE, OR ANYWHERE. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP ME WITHOUT PUTTING YOURSELF IN A BIND, THEN GOD BLESS YOU. BUT IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO HELP ME, THEN GOD BLESS YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS. I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE WILL HELP ME, BUT IT SURE FEEL'S GOOD TO GET THIS OFF MY SHOULDER'S, THE WEIGHT OF A PROBLEM GET'S HEAVIER AND HEAVIER DOESN'T IT? MY EMAIL ADDRESS ( LOGAN0437@YAHOO.COM ) IT'S MY SON'S EMAIL, BUT HE SAID I COULD USE IT. IF YOU WAN'T TO HELP ME, EMAIL ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER. WELL THANK YOU ALL FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN DO.........YOUR TRULY, PEGGY JEFFERSON.

 Myself and my grand-daughter....the other pic above is my grand-daughter...She's a month old.....

 This is my son and daughter....

My daughter went to dhs to see if she could get medical and day care....and was told that she makes 200.oo to much. So I guess she is not going back to work. There should be some type of short term assistance to help those that just need a little boost. Maybe give someone 6 months get their self together then stop helping. oh ya isn't that what dhs is suppose to do......lol  I don't understand they rather her not work and depend on them. Or work and not be able to stay at her job long. This country is a**backwords......

 

 Hi...... I'm a mother and new grandma..........I was hit by a car then ran over by a second car. My femoral artery was torn out of my leg and I lost alot of blood. It was life or limb. My back was broke in 5 places,2 ribs where broke,my pelvis and both hips were crushed,my ear was almost torn off (they saved it) and my left knee was swollen. God was with me that day. I was hit at approx. 40-50 miles per hour the second car had to be lifted off me. I woke up under the car and flipped myself over and tried to crawl out from under the car. I really wish I could find some help with physical theropy.......

Help A Family of 5

Our Story; We moved from Florida to Colorado to Care for Grandma who was in a Nursing home. We Brought her Home and are caring for her Hospice is involved with her care. We spent what savings we had to move here to care for her. What I would like to do is to be able to collect enough money to not be homeless when she passes. The sister-in-law stole grandma's money and 1/2 ownership of her house with survivorship rights. We do not want to fight her in court for ownership of the home. We just want to be able to provide our 3 children ages 6,4 and 2 with a home. We sold our van and do not currently have a vehicle that we can have our family in. We (my husband and I ) both Care for Grandma 24/7 so we are not working at this time. We will resume working and providing for our children once this is over. but we need a start. A Helping Hand to be able to survive after she passes. I prayed and prayed and I found this site so I thought maybe a little help would come from here. Anyone That can help even a few dollars. We pray we can reach our goal. Blessings to all who read this post.
