Holidays are at hand. Needs are overwhelming.
Yesterday my friend Heather got to see first hand how much a family needs and does not get support. With her help, we delivered a much needed dresser, clothes and a chair for a special needs child. This 3 yr old has CP and the only thing given to him was a BROKEN wheelchair he could not even sit in! Heather managed to find a special very expensive chair that this child could finally sit comfortably in! It was so fancy and had all the bells and whistles. Yay!!
In the meantime, I just found out the husband was let go 2 days ago from his job. They are now in jeopardy of losing their home and their kids. They are trying SO hard but who knows what will happen.
When people tell me homeless people are in that state because they put themselves there I want to choke them. Sometimes life is really unfair.
Another family we have is a family in West Virginia. Their home and all their belongings burned down. Even the urn their fathers ashes were in burst and the ashes are everywhere. They need desperate help, they are all living with an aunt in a trailer. I don't know where to turn, as I do not live there. The mother is very close to losing it, the daughter is afraid she will lose her mother too in this tragedy. :(
An out of work couple who work part time cannot get food stamps because they make a few dollars too much, Really?! A single mother in school struggling. An older couple, the husband was let go of his long time job and cannot find one because of his age (older 50's).
I could go on and on. We need help. We need more elves, we need money, we need God to send us some angels!!!!
People thank me for what I do. I hate it. I don't do it for thanks or for praise or anything like that, I do it because i have been led to do so. I truly feel like God is using me as a puppet. Kind of like today when someone EM me for a table. Wasn't sure where I was going to find one, and the very next EM was someone wanting to donate one. It was Gods hand, of that I am sure.
Please prat. Pray for families who are worried and struggling. Pray for all of us at OSW to get everyones needs taken care of!! And if you are an elf or an angel, please let us know, we need you!!
