About The helper

The helper started this conversation
Oct 14, 2008

Today 10/14 my electricity was shut off. I can't take life anymore. I work a full time job, my husband works full time and we have 3 kids. (1 we share, the other he has custody of) Today our electricity was shut off. We have paid all our other bills but never have enough to pay the full amount, the amount just snowballed and now they shut us off.

I have nothing left to do but cry. No one we know has any extra cash to help us out. We get paid ever 2 weeks and don't get paid till Friday 10/17. All the food we bought is going to go bad and it's so cold. We've cut back on every other expense we have and still can't make ends meet.

If there is anyone out there that can help us please do. God Bless you.

I am usually the helper, but lately I find myself not able to help but looking to receive. Sorry to burden you with my problems. I just need the help.

Just like you I am usually the "Helper" and what really bugs me is that out of all the people I've helped not one of them has even offered to help me now that I'm the one in need. I have always been the one to step up and work my tail off at benefits,fund raisers and any where else that Im needed. Any time that anyone needs something they know that they can count on me to help. There are so many people that have borrowed money from me and I never ask for it back, but I just wish that they would see that I'm in need and atleast pay me back. I'm not asking for anyone to support my family (because thats my job,no one elses) but a little help or "pay back" would be nice. I know that I'm gonna get my rewards and pay back in Heavin for everything I've done but it would be great if I could get a little back now so that I can get through Christmas. I know that God will provide what we "need" and He want let us starve but I dont know what to do about what my kids "want" for Christmas.
