I AM A 36YR OLD WOMAN W/ A 7YR OLD SON. I HAVE BEEN DEALING W/THE EYE- SORE OF MY HOUSE. IN 2000 I HIRED A CONTRACTOR TO BUILD A GARAGE ON MY PROPERTY AND AN ADDITION ON TO MY HOME. HE BEGAN & STARTED THE GARAGE IN WHICH HE WAS PAID, WHEN THAT WAS ALMOST COMPLETED I BEGIN TO PAY FOR MY ADDITION - TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT THE CONTRACTOR TOOK ALL THE MONEY & RAN EVENTUALLY I TOOK HIM TO COURT & WON -BUT FOUND HIS LIC. WERE NOT ANY GOOD AND I HAD NO WAY TO GET MY MONEY BACK, SO WHEN HE STOP HE LEFT ME, MY 7 YR OLD SON & MY 87YR OLD GRANDFATHER I WAS CARING FOR W/OUT GAS FOR COOKING, & NO OIL FOR HEAT. SO I SUBSTITUED & HAVE BEEN USING A CROCKPOT,MICROWAVE & COUNTERTOP OVEN FOR COOKING & ELEC. & KERO HEATERS FOR HEAT. IN THE COLD MONTH I'VE HAD TO LEAVE ELEC. HEATER ON TO KEEP WARM & THEY HAVE EVENTUALLY SPARKED A FIRE IN THE WALLS -- BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS HOME TO CONTAIN IT. THIS I HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE THE YEAR 2001 RIGHT UP UNTIL MARCH. MY SON AND GRANDFATHER DONT DESERVE THIS I THANK GOD THERE JUST HAPPY TO BE W/ FAMILY & I AM TRULY TRYING BUT I NEED TO HAVE $ 11,000.00 TO HAVE MY ROOF COMPLETED --- I HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH TO GET THE BEST ESTIMATE -- AND EVEN AFTER THAT -- ALL I CAN DO IS STAND FIRM ON GODS WORD THAT HE WILL SEND AN ANGEL TO PULL ME THRU THIS ONE --- WHEN I LOOK AT MY FAMILY I JUST FEEL LIKE CRYING -- IT WOULD BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT IF I DID THIS TO MYSELF BUT SOMEONE TOOK COMPLETE ADVANTAGE OF ME & MY FAMILY AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO EXCEPT. I KNOW THAT NOW I HAVE TO MOVE ON -- I KNOW I AM STILL TRYING TO DO THE BEST I CAN. I'M A 36 YR OLD WHO HAS ACCOMPLISED A LOT IN MY LIFE AND I AM PROUD OF THAT & IN MARCH MY GRANDFATHER PASSED AWAY -- BUT IN ALL THINGS I GIVE THANKS BECAUSE MY SON HAD A CHANCE TO BE A BIG PART OF HIS GRANDFATHERS LIFE AND TO SEE THAT LIFE IS NOT JUST ABOUT US , BUT HOW WE CAN HELP ONE ANOTHER AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS I WANTED TO INSTILL IN MY CHILD -- THE HELPING OF ONE ANOTHER.. I HAVE NEVER COME TO THIS POINT BEFORE --- I HAVE ALWAYS MANAGED W/ WHATEVER I HAD AND MADE DO -- I'M NEW TO THE COMPUTER W/ THE INTERNET --- BUT WHEN I LOOK @ MY SON I JUST WANT SO MUCH MORE FOR US & THAT IS WHAT HURTS ME TO MY HEART -- THATS THE REASON I THOUGHT OF THE INTERNET -- SO THAT "SOMEBODY CAN HEAR MY CRY" . (PLEASE JUST DONT READ THIS AND TURN AWAY, THIS IS A CRY. FOR SO MANY YRS I HAVE ASKED THE LORD TO ALLOW ME TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST MY FAMILY ESPECIALLY MY MOTHER BECAUSE I AM ALL SHE HAS HAD AND HE HAS, MY MOTHER IS A HEART PATIENT AND I FOR YEARS HAVE BEEN PAYING HER BILLS AND MINE BUT IT HAS BECOME SOOO HARD. IN TAKING CARE OF MY GRANDPARENTS FOR SO LONG (MY GRANDFATHER CAME TO LIVE W/ME AFTER MY GRANDMOTHER PASSES) I CAME TO LOVE CARING FOR THEM AND THAT'S WHEN THE JESUS SHOWED ME WHAT HE WOULD HAVE ME TO DO. WHEN MY HOME IS COMPLETED I AM GOING TO HAVE A HOME FOR THE ELDERLY. I HAVE ALL MY CREDITIALS COMPLETED EXCEPT FOR THE STATE WALK THROUGH WHICH I CANT GET UNTIL MY HOME IS COMPLETED -- THAT WHY I AM ASKING FOR 11000.00 FOR MY ROOFING IF I CAN GET THAT DONE -- THAT'S THE HARDEST PART
