Tired and weary. I am starting a third job this week but it isn't soon enough. We got our gas turned off last week and our water is due to be shut off the first week of December. Luckily I have a wood stove and have been burning wood to keep the house warm. I am not sure where Christmas is going to come from. I am thinking of asking my Mom if I can borrow money. I would have already except my Mom is down in Florida right now with my Grandmother because we just got the news that my grandma has cancer. I know this is a long shot....I have a paypal account under my e-mail anjelkisses@yahoo.com If God has blesed you and you are moved to give would you please donate anything you can spare? It is a funny thing want mohterhood can do to you. I am usually a very proud person. I guess also the Internet has a way of breaking down these boundaries too so in spite of my pride and the negative responses I may get from this I am posting it anyway. Thank you so much in advance for kindness. Love, Terri

Hi, I am very sorry to hear of your situation and I know what it is like. We have had trouble paying bills for the past year and have had our gas cut off. Luckily we were able to pay it off bit by bit over the warm months and get it back on for winter, but it's still going to be a struggle this year. I don't want you to get in trouble here, but I did want to mention that asking for donations is against Mylot policy. I'm not sure where you are, but maybe there are some services that could help you out especially since you have children. Here the Salvation Army, firefighters and some churches have toy drives and give out gifts and food to families in need over the holidays. I'm not sure if you have checked into any of these or not. I would be happy to help you find help if you tell me where abouts you are.
