Not to drown in tears....

Granted by Heroes: sparkadoodle, wannabehugo, MuslimMom
I want to scream this hurts so bad, and is so embarrassing at the same time. I'm scared...for me & my son Casey. We need help & I don't know where else to go but here. Our small town churches can only help so much & only so many times. The need is everywhere spreading like an untreated infection. I was praying for this year to be able to save for Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners & maybe for presents....the utility bills took over instead. We live in an older 2 bedrm trailer home, the hot summer months just wiped out every months checks & my latest from last month was more than the rent...how is that possible? Rent plus utilities and poof....money gone. I'm out of everything!! Laundry supplies, cleaning supplies, personal products, heart meds that insurance doesn't pay for. I cook for meals ahead then freeze them, with a crock pot, but mine that I've had for years stopped working 3 weeks ago & I'm lost without it. I didn't get to get pants for Casey for school either & it's been rainy a bit lately. There's just so much going wrong that it's hard to see ahead for hope. I cry & sob sometimes when Casey is at school. (I try to never cry in front of him, he's learning disabled & does not need to worry about me as well) Please angels help us. I pray that we will be found...

Many blessings that all your needs are met and your outlook starts to get a little more positive for you :) May you be richly blessed

Hope your heroes find you in your time of need :) You're never forgotten, just sometimes it feels as if you get overlooked. I know the feeling. Keep your head up and stay strong.
I looked in your areas, $50 toward help, and once every 6 months at that, isn't much. That's how it is around here. Just too small to do any good.

I did find a Salvation Army (not located in your town, but helps everyone in your county) and they are taking applications for Christmas and THanksgiving baskets and Adopt-A-Family now. Good luck:

Salvation Army Arkansas City Office and Winfield Kansas - Both locations offer numerous services, such as a free food bank, Clothing and furniture, pantry, Hygiene and paper products, Housing Assistance, Diapers and feminine products, Commodities, Shelter, Rent and Utility Assistance, Medications, Foreclosure Counseling, Services to children (school supplies), Christmas Assistance and meals. (620) 441-0233

Best wishes and fingers crossed they can help you :) Man
