Well I think everyone who knows me understands I like to give back what I can, when I can, however I can.
I am asking for community assistance and support to anyone who can, whether its prayers, donations, happy thoughts, anything you can.
Here’s the situation: Someone who I immensely care for and love with all my heart is undergoing a very bad situation. I was told last night by her best friend, the girl in this post here: UF Test Pack - Report Journal - #24 by SteveO something that I was completely unaware of. The more I contemplate the more I understand why V would keep it from me. J and I were planning the next time we could kidnap V and take her out with us, since she is always working and never has time anymore to do anything. I kind of feel like a heel since I believed V was working so much because she just didn’t care about our relationship. (V is my girl and J is her best friend) After the last time I went out with J in the aforementioned linked post, I really learned a lot about V.
So back to last night. Thinking like any red blooded American guy I figured if I could go out with both V and J at the same time maybe I could get a 3-some going. So what, I’m a horn-dog! J drops the bomb on me and tells me this.
V gave up her house to move in with H from her work. Now V is a dedicated employee and I know from always being there that she works her butt off. That’s one thing I can say is she is a very responsible mom. She has a 14 month year old who she adores and always talks about. She figured by moving in with H, who also has a boy, they could save money and watch each others kids while the other is at work. Great arrangement right?
Well here comes the bomb! V has been living there 3 months now and has been paying the rent and bill money to H, but apparently H has planned to move all along. Well H has been keeping the money, not paying the rent, not paying the bills and well you can guess. V found this all out the other day when the city shut off the power with the temp here in Memphis in the twenties! Like I said V has a baby so she did what any mother would do, she cleaned out the savings and paid the $800 past due bill. Now its Christmas and V is broke and doesn’t know what to do.
I know some laws and I know that the power company wont shut off the power with an infant, but they didn’t know about the baby and V already paid the bill.
OK so J found all this out when V spent the night over there the one day they didn’t have power. Turns out the landlord wasn’t even aware she was living there either. Not sure what’s going to happen there, but I so desperately want to help. Yeah but I just dropped $5K on a down payment for my new Jeep, another $300 on the new increase on insurance so basically I’m broke but I’ve decided rather than giving presents to family I’m taking my Christmas club money and making sure she is OK.
I’m asking the community, if you can, for some Christmas cheer. I’m not even supposed to know about any of this. If anyone can help with any amount, even a dollar that would be wonderful. J and I know V would never just take it, so we are going to put it in a card from Friends of Santa and stick it in her purse.
Yes this is a plea and anything, any amount will help. You’ll have to take my word on it. It’s a tough time of year to be broke and not know what you’re going to do. So if anyone can feel it in their heart, could help make someone very special to me smile for Christmas I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If you are interested in helping you can PM me and we can figure out the best way to help her out
. If you can’t help, just keep her and others less fortunate in your heart.
