Dear Prayer Warriors, I really need your help. I don't know where to begin, my story is unique and I will do my best to pull it together for you. My son was murdered a few years ago, and I've been struggling with everything ever since, My daughter Jamie(14 yrs.) and I have struggled with this for quite sometime. After my son's death, his 2 boys were taken away from their mother and placed in Foster care (the mother was neglecting the kids and drinking excessively), after a year of the mother not following through with court orders, I was given full custody of both boys. The oldest Brian, is in 3rd grade and the youngest, Isaiah has a disability called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, he also has extreme separation anxiety, anxiety, and ADHD, I'm unable to work because of his disabilities and stay home with him After the trial ended I tried hard picking up the pieces of our lives. For awhile we did ok, but my fallback was allowing my sister to move in, I had a hip replacement and needed help after my surgery so I allowed her to move in, she needed a place and I needed help. Our agreement was for her to help pay rent, I moved from a 2 bedroom to a 3 bedroom to make room for her and her dog. Well, she didn't follow through with her part, which put us behind in rent, she eventually moved out and I was unable to pull myself out of the debt that was accumulated while she was living with me. The kids and I were evicted last week and we now stay with a friend temporarily in a very small apartment. I'm trying to save for 1st month's rent and deposit for when we find a place but that's proven to be very difficult. A lot of apartment communities have income guidelines that I don't meet so I'm trying to focus my search on places that are owned by private owners. My challenge is that I don't have a car, it was totaled and I haven't been able to find another I can afford, so getting around is real hard, there are no public buses where I live, I have to rely on other people. So, I need help with so much it seems, I get so confused and overwhelmed with what to pray for. Can you please for me? For us? That we find a home and a car and that we are able to grow stronger together as a family and in our faith and that I'm able to get the help needed for Isaiah. Thank you for taking the time to read my payer request. Thank you so much.God Bless You.
