I am a real estate agent/contractor and my passion is fixing up old abandoned properties and finding families for them.  I believe it is our duty to save any structure built in the past if it is possible and make use of it.  I need help with financing, government grants, hard money lenders or even partners. 

At one time I couldn't buy a home and I will never forget how that felt. So I made up my mind if I would fight my way out of the position I was in, educate myself and help others if the Lord saw fit to give me the strength, he did and I am here.. Any input would be most helpful even if it is letters of support or advice.   Thank YOu

Hello all, I am currently a stay at home mom who filed for divorce. For the last few years my stbx would leave and not come home for up to a week at a time, I later found out that he had a drug problem. I'm an intelligent person but for the life of me I don't know why I waited for 2 1/2 years before I made the move to divorce him. It took me that long to gather the strength. Well, since this time my stbx has taken all of our money out of our joint account and will only "take" me to the store to purchase necessities. It is humiliating, we are currently living together until the divorce is final because I have no place to go at this time.

I have goals to go to nursing school, write a book and continue to be an excellent mother. All of which are within my reach but I have no stepping stones for when the divorce is final. I'm so affraid of the divorce - my stbx tells me that I will regret divorcing him (in trial) but I have done nothing wrong in our marriage. This man was gone for 2 days prior to Christmas last year - not exactly what I want my child to ever have to experience again in his whole life.

I want to be able to get on my feet and get my son into a safer enviroment. If you can contribute - I will be greatful. I have no idea how this works - I have no intention of being needy the rest of my life. I have clear plans to help me attain the future that I need. Nursing school costs just under $8000, which I find amazing - I thought it would be more. If you contribute - I will happily send class schedules or grades as they come.

Being a mother has given me strength and courage that I never had before and I look forward to my bright future.

Thanks for reading and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Recent stroke victim.

First, I thank and appreciate God for this testimony. I'm reminded
> that I can never take this time I have here on earth for granted.
> Everything I do is all for the glory and honor of God. On Friday,
> December 28, 2007 around 8:00pm I was driving to a friends house to
> attend a Christmas Party. While driving, I began to feel numbness
> travel down my right side then my vision on my left side began to fade
> away. I began to ask …Lord what is this?" I thought maybe it would go
> away but it did not. I was very close to the house in which I was
> traveling; so I decided to continue. Upon arrival I could not walk on
> my right side, could not speak (speech was slurred ) Every one looked
> at me as though I started the party off early by drinking prior to
> attending. They gave me food in an effort to sober me up. Not able to
> recognize signs of a stroke. I realize that the food was hard to
> swallow and I was not getting better. So, I decided to leave and did
> so. How may know that God is good all the time?.......
>
> God is the author and finisher of my faith He is Omni-present.
>
> As I was driving I was praying…"Lord if you allow me to get home I
> will never go to another party again: I will go where you tell me
> only…" How many know that he will show up and show out? He began to
> speak to me and give me instructions…"Don't go home, go to your
> daughters house…" I responded…"that's even father…" (I was thinking
> about my eye condition) I was already driving in the slow lane and
> cars seemed to be passing me at a high rate of speed. How many know I
> obeyed? When I arrived there I could not get out of the car so I call
> her on the cell phone with my good eye. (He left me with one good eye)
> She came down and I asked her to help me out of the car and listen to
> her response…"I think you are drunk Mama.." and I said to her …"When

> speech she thought that I had been drinking.
>
> Whose report will you believe? I chose to believe the Report of the Lord.
>
> My daughter awakened me the very next morning. She had unsuccessfully
> attempted calling so she decided to drive over and check on me.
> When she entered the bedroom and I attempted to get up we both
> realized that I had paralysis on my right side and quickly made a
> decision
> to get me to the nearest emergency room.
>
> After arriving and careful examination they decided to rush me to an
> awaiting bed. Three doctors (Neurosurgeons) came in immediately,
> they ordered a CT Scan. The results of the scan showed (Cerebral
> Hemorrhage) a bleeding in the brain from a nerve ending. They
> prepared my mother and daughter for the worst. Some of the doctors

> "…We have not seen anyone live from these types of stokes…"

> How many know God can and will?

> Is any sick among you. Let her call for the elders of the church: and

> The total stay in the hospital was 12 days. They started with an IV

I am in need of any assistance that you can give. My family is limited as to what they can do to assist me. Because of my belief that God shall supply my every need I do not have a desire to get on the Welfare or Disability system. I believe that I will be able to return to work fulltime after about six months. I have started taking five minute walks around my apartments. I know that God can and He will turn this situation around for me. If you are not able to do anything more than pray for me and my circumstances then please do.

God bless you and your family.

In 2005 I was on business in Russia and met a Russian woman with a child.  We feel desperately in love and sustained our love through visits to Russia by me, to America by her, and by telephone and e mail.  Ours is no Internet romance nor is she a "mail order bride."  We married in April 2007during her first visit to America.  Our daughter is almost seven.  My wife cannot leave Russia until a debt is repaid to her ex-husband.  She and her ex bought this apartment jointly with her parents.  He abandoned her when our daughter (his biologically) was 13 months old.  In order to make our dreams come true--being united and living in America--we need between $25-30,000. 

We need an angel who will co-sign for a loan so that I can pay this debt and bring them here. I love my wife and our little girl--I'll never call her "step-daughter."  I will pay interest to you for a co-sign.  I'll do anything you ask short of criminal activity.  I am unable to get extra credit to take to Russia to pay this debt.  Please consider helping in any way you can.  Thank you.

Through the power of prayer my son will be strengthend and step into the person he truly is.

Please pray for my son.  He is going through a rough period.  Please pray for him.
