Please help me and my children I am someone who does not like to ask for help but I literally will send this same letter out to 100 people of need be. I am putting my pride away for a little bit of time... Here goes I have 3 children but I take care of many more...I work 2 jobs every single day, well if you want to get technical I have 36 jobs, 35 lawn care jobs and a janitor jobs, well actually I also clean houses when it's the off season for lawn care, so money is not the problem...this is the problem, I live in a really bad situation and I can't even save money to move out because to live in a decent neighborhood with a decent house for me and my kids, as a single mom, I really don't want to have to watch mine and my kids backs all the time and when I try to save money to get out because I feed 8 people every single night pay electric, internet, phone, laundry detergent and every day without fail there's someone who needs sneakers or this for school or that. Or my truck is constantly breaking down that I pull my lawn trailer with and that holds me back so much also and this sounds real bad but if I complain about anything or try to say anything about all these boys not buying laundry detergent trash bags food anything at all I get " well you can't use my any of my trucks anymore to pull your lawn equipment, I can't begin to tell you how messed up all these boys are that live here...it's so bad that literally on the weekends me and my youngest one will hang out all weekend, playing basketball going for walks or just watching TV just so we can disassociate with everyone...we have 1 bathroom with all these kids pissing all over the seat and floor. I have to bleach everything down on a daily basis. Shoot I think I should just take stock in Clorox ....so I really am asking for help to help me find a place for me and 2 of my kids...(my third is 25 and she lives in Orlando doing great for herself ☺️) and to maybe help me to find a reliable but cheap truck that I can pull my lawn trailer with...I can probably afford about 1200 a month rent but that's all because I don't want to be stuck if my equipment goes down or my truck goes down etc . Once I'm gone I never want to go back and I believe that's the ONLY reason they won't let me save any money or even help to get my truck running again, because I am all their mama Jodie...I cook clean and am their taxi, literally do everything for everybody and then just treated like crap if I say no...oh one more thing me and my son's are animal lovers and everyone here likes to hurt our dog and I hate to leave him here with them when I work all day but I really do not have a choice because since it's usually so warm during the day most days I cannot bring our dog chaos while I'm doing the yards or do my janitor job in the morning...please e mail me or call me if you have any suggestions or want to help. Thank you for taking your time in at least reading this...

My view into SoaM is from my friends who are part of “the mission teams”. There are many ladies and men from my church who truly enjoy their participation in the one-day missions. As seniors, it gives them a place to make a difference, provide valuable support to their local community, to be productive. And to spend time with old and new friends, work hard and have fun. And the projects/missions they do support other non-profits in our area. Every community should be so lucky to have an SoaM.
