I am 8 months pregnant with a hopefully healthy little girl. She's due on x-mas eve, which to me is God's way of telling me even in these times of struggle and hardships to hang in there. Fortunatly for me the father of the child is sticking by my side and doing all that he can do to help us get by. Due to complications with the pregnacy way early I have been unable to work, which hasn't been very helpful to us. With the economy the way it is, it seems impossiable for us to find anywhere to live to raise a family. So here I sit tapping on this keyboard staring at this Alluminating screen pleading for help...Of any kind small or big. At the moment we are staying with his family however when the baby comes that will come to a total HAULT! leaving us with nowhere to turn...I pray someone out there who is better off then we are right now with read this and be able to answer my prayers. I am not asking for help without being willing to do my part, I will do whatever it takes to make it by, so our daughter has a chance at a good life, one where one day she can be that angel in someones lives, someone in need. I may no deserve a chance in help, but regardless she does, and she hasn't even taken her first breath of air into this world we all live in.

So I plead, if anyone out there knows of a place to live, that isn't pricey PLEASE let me know. If someone out there has a rental that needs fixing up, we are more than willing to do that. My childs father is a handyman by himself and very willing to work for what we need to get done. Even if someone lives in a big enough house they need to share it with someone, please don't look over me, we can work with anything...because at this point, WE HAVE NOTHING. I pray theres an answer out there somewhere, for our daughters sake, because God knows she deserves the world at her fingertips, and it saddens me that I am unable to have provided that for her. Thank you for those who took the time to read this. Anyone with suggestions please feel free to e-mail me.

UPDATE:

No, unfortunatly we havnt found housing yet. Which scares me and is stressing me because my c-section date is comming to a close. Im due on Christmas eve however they are taking her on the 16th if i make it that long. Due to the weather my childs father has been unable to work for he last 2 weeks which has put us even deeper in debt with the world. I had an appointment to see the baby doc just the other day and coun't even make it there because of a limited gas situation. I know that God has a better plan for me however its soooo hard to hold my head up until things get better. I feel so ashamed that i am about to bring a child into this world without having anything to my name. I was raised much better than that and grew up with two parents that both gave me the world, and i want to give her the same opportunity. However the thought of that happening seems soooo far away. Evey morning i just wake up and pray that today I will bestrong enough to see the signs to a better way. The problem with housing is that we dont have much to start with. I wish so bad there was a place out there that someone wanted it worked on and kept up for a few months and the power was already on. Just getting the power turned on even if we had a place is going to be a problem of its own. Im so scared that im going to crash and burn. My childs father works for Rogers Contstruction, however no on wants to start any new jobs until the new year so it has put him in a bind that is pulling us further down. Please if you have any help...My hand and heart is out. We are both willing to do what it takes on our part. We are not looking for a free hand out just an opportunity to get our feet on the ground. Thank you for your time.

Casey
