Desperate Help Needed - Noah

[Karen]

I did!

Kelly, thanks for checking in with us.

[NoahsMommy]

I wanted to share something with you all. Something that has become even more concrete since this whole drama. Despite what I've told you all about my mom (and honestly, it hurts me to put this in writing, that she'd see me writing bad things about her. Honestly, there are WONDERFUL things about her that can outweigh the bad...but lately, all I've seen is bad. ) , she raised me to believe in helping others in any way I can. I've translated that and applied it to my every day life even more than she intended. I know people say, "If I won the lottery" or "If I was rich..." I'd do such wonderful things. I know with all my heart that if I get to where I want to be in my career (becoming a doctor, specialist really) and I earn money to enable me to help others, I cannot tell you how satisfied I will be. Not only will I get to help sick people, but I'd be able to donate my time and expertise as well as give $$ and time to other needs. That is my ultimate dream and my goal. I WILL reach it, with God's help.

While recieving this help from you all is so utterly amazing, I still cannot find the right words. It makes me feel a little bad, that I cannot help myself and that I cannot help others right now. But I found a way today!! I was given a gift card by my boss for Christmas for Baja Fresh (fresh mexican food place) and there is this homeless vet that sits on one of the corners close to my work every day....he has his sign and his container for money and it saddens me to see that he is in such great a need. (I wouldn't give money, only help, as you never know the situation) I bought lunch for him and I this afternoon and I felt so much better. I didn't do this so I could tell anyone - and you are the only people I'm telling - but to share and illustrate my point.

Point: When you feel like you have NOTHING to give another person or need, you can find creative ways to do so. Money is not everything...if you have the heart to help, you can find ways to do so. I guess I always knew that, but because I've been so, whatever I am right now, I forgot. Even in my situation, I can pass along kindness. I thank God so greatly for reminding me of this.

Anyway, I hope you all didn't mind my sharing this. I firmly believe in paying it forward and have always done so, in different ways. But I'd felt so terrible that my current situation wouldn't allow me to continue. To be reminded that I can help others, no matter what my situation makes me so happy.

I also wanted to share this with you all because of what you're doing for me and my Noah. I want you to know how much I appreciate it and other than my gratitude, this is a way I can show you how much it means to me. Does that make sense??

Love, Kelly

Makes perfect sense to me Kelly, I am just so sorry to read what a hard time you are having.

I have sent my donation to Val using paypal so she will pass it on like last time.

Take care

Hugs and kisses

Kelly, This is great news!!! I hope that everything will work out so you can move out of your parents home asap and get back to being able to live with your furkids again. Please continue to keep us updated.

Thank you, Tracey! (((Hugs)))

I PROMISE to make sure to update everyone at least weekly, if I cannot get on daily. I'm so sorry I haven't been doing that. I guess I just hate being so negative and putting that on people. But I know that if the situation was turned around, I would hate if my friend/s didn't come to me when they were down...negative or not.

Hugs, Kelly

I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you on this one! It would be great if this worked out.
Good luck!

Kelly ~ If this one doesn't work out, keep trying. Have you talked to people at your church? One of them may be looking for a roomate.

Hi there,

I've sent emails to everyone I know in CA to keep their eyes and ears out for anyone that is looking to move and needs a roommate as well as people that have places for rent.

My next step is making my phone calls and I'll try and do that during my lunch hour. The church is an excellent idea. I belong to a large church and I bet they even own rental properties to help out thier congregation. Thanks for the idea!!!

Hugs, Kelly

I rented from the Moravian Church for a few years, and it was sooooooo reasonably priced. I wasn't even Moravian, but they advertised an apt. for rent, and it was a great deal.
