Thank you for taking a look at my website and for considering helping me.
I never really thought that I would be here to ask for help financially. I rather felt I would be the one giving, as that is what I have always done and with God's grace and your help, I will be able to do so again.

I am what they like to call a middle aged woman, who has found herself in a situation foreign to herself. Absolutely BROKE!
*I have a debt of approximately $30,000.00

I have a brand new job that requires a wardrobe of business suits and accessories. I have the accessories just not the suits. They don't come inexpensively and while I don't need to shop at the most expensive stores, I also believe that with as often as I have to wear the clothing, I need something that is classy, businesslike and able to stand the test of time in endurance.

*Because of circumstances, I have found myself with the lowest balance in my checking and savings that I have ever experience. $0 in Checking and $50 in savings.
*Sigh* and *tears*; for this is such a difficult thing for me to do.

I have always enjoyed giving to others. If someone was in need and I could help, I was there helping. I am use to taking care of others. I am usually helping my sons out or a friend in need. I don't ask for anything back because I believe that it is wrong to do so. I give, not for anything in return, but for the pure joy in helping another human being in need.

God has provided so much for me in my life.  I have my Lord, I have my health for the most part; and God has provided a roof over my head and strength in my body to work for a living.
I have just found myself in a bit of a hole now and need some assistance in rising above it.
You ask, however, "Who is this person and how did they get to this point?"

I am a woman who was married for 21 years and has two sons that she raised most of the time, by herself. I was married to a man in the military for 21 years and he was away from home most of the time.

Shortly after moving to CA to help my father take care of my mom who is dying with Alzheimers Disease, I found myself divorced and having to take care of myself for the first time in my life. I had never been on my own before in my life.
I can honestly say, I have not done a good job at it. Not financially anyway.

I have one son who is 22 and has just left the military to try to go to school. My other son is a Marine. He is 21, just recently married and is leaving in three weeks time to return to the middle east. Not something I am looking forward to, but I know he is in God's hands.

I wanted to see my son again before he left but am not able to afford to fly out to see him or bring him to me. And he cannot afford it either.
I long to be financially stable in my life. To do this I must get myself out from under this massive debt I have gotten myself under.
I am seeking help in getting started so that I can achieve this goal.
I want to some day be able to buy a home of my own. Something that I have never been able to do. (We always lived in military housing!)

I want to clear my credit so that I am no longer delinquent and can have a good credit standing.
I want to be able to live my life in a way that gives me the ability to go to my children when I am needed and when I just want to be near them. I want to be able to help others again when they are in need.
I yearn to feel good about myself and my life.

It is very humbling for me to ask for help like this. But I am asking for help. Anything that you are able to give is accepted and more than appreciated.
I hope that you will be able to see in your heart, a need to help me.

Thank you
