  Help me with this soap opera that has become my life
 
 Life has not now nor ever been very kind to my family. I am a firm believer in the Bible but I think now my family has been handed more than we can take. I guess I will start with our mother, she has been ill for many years.She was diagnosed at age 52 with hardening of the arteries and (there is a specific name for it but my spelling of it would not make it clear) and blood clots. She had surgery for blockage on the right side of her neck (was at 90% blockage) and then the left side a year later. Just 2 weeks ago she had a lump removed from the left side of her face through her nasal cavity.  She has fought and will keep fighting the long road. My 2 brothers, my sister and I all fell into very bad marriages along the way. They all would make for a best-selling horror story, mystery novel. My oldest brother recently moved to Florida to help his friend who's wife is terminal (hospice is coming in and out now taking care of her). My little brother is desperate for money as he needs a good lawyer (or just a good lawyer to volunteer their time) right now to help gain custody of his daughter. Let's just say something is wrong with our judicial system when they would even consider letting a child live with a child molestor over a father who works his fingers to the bone, cooks, cleans, takes this child to school every morning, braids her hair every night and breaks him in two at the thoughts of having to live without her. He is a wonderful man, a devoted Christian and well, you get the picture. Then there is my sister and her children. They are living in horror at this very moment. My sisters husband is a very abusive man (using that word lightly right now). She is desperate to get away from him with her 4 children. He will not leave the house and she just found out that they are getting ready to forclose on it. No one in our family has money to help her get away. We so desperately wish we did. I suppose it now leaves me. I have 4 children of my own also. My ex-husband put my children and I through the works also, but we got away. I recently (6-1-2007) married a very, very wonderful man. He wants to adopt our children. The problem here is he is stuck in the Netherlands. We want him home so very badly. He had to leave to see to his family on June 6th and we just have not had the money for him to come back home. With life being crazy as it is and every dime being pinched just to keep a roof over the children's heads we don't have anything more to afford a ticket home. Now with all of this said I would like to ask for prayer from members here. Please pray for my family that everything will turn out ok. If anyone has any advice on how to get legal support for my brother and sister, how to get money together so my sister and neice and nephews can be safe, how to bring my husband back home economically or cheap or free would work best, I would really appreciate it. Sorry this was such a long post, I needed to get all of this off my chest as well as seek any help possible. Thank you so much, Lisa

 I am a 44 year old female, I live in Palatine, Illinois with my cousin, I am wanting to go back to England to be with my husband for our anniversary and his birthday, Needing money for a round trip ticket. My dream was to relocate over England and attend the University of Birmingham to become a physician assistant. But that is a dream deferred: Because at the moment we don't have the money to get our own apartment, nor do we have the money for me to be a resident of the UK...I have taken care of my father for over 5 years...I used all my savings..I have not been able to hold a full time job in over three years due to my dad needing full time care. I loved my father and I miss him deeply...It is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I f anyone can help I would deeply so deeply appreciate it..It has to be a angel out there to answer my prayer.the 25 of august will be my husband 45th birthday, and our anniversary is the 26 th of August we will have been married six years of happy marriage.  Thank you, Many blessing to you: Sincerely, Koretha

 Hello, My name is Koretha, I am 44 years old..My situation is that I have been separated from my husband who lives in England, We will have been married for six years, I love being married to my husband, he is a good man, a loving man with a big heart..I have been here in America taking of my father who passed away from bladder cancer, I used all of my savings to help take care of my dad..My father wanted to die at home in peace, I gave him that and all the comfort he needed..This was very hard on my husband and myself..My husband would send money to us to help out..My husband works as a bus driver..He does not make much at all..I have not worked full time in over three years, due to taking care of my dad..I am still paying off his debts and my debts too. Life has been difficult and trying. But I keep the faith that things will workout some how..I have been wanting to immigrate to England, But have been unable to due to my financial situation. I thought things were going to be better for us, and that I would be able to attend school in England to become a Physician Assistant.

At the University of Birmingham in the UK. That was my dream.. I love working with people..I have been really depressed because I have no way to get my husband..he does not have the money to get me a ticket home, Only because he sent most of the saving over to me to help my dad..Then in July 07...The floods came to England and they did serious damage on my mother-in-law house, So now my husband his helping his mother.

The 25th of August is my husband birthday and the 26th is our anniversary, I don't have the money for a ticket . Every dollar I have tried to save has gone to paying off my dads debts.. So I have been unable to save. If anyone can help..I will pay back every dime to you.. If you can help I deeply appreciate it.
