Dan, has four kids, all under the age of 10. His 1990 Acura Legend needs over $2,000 in repairs (the car is worth about $1,500). Both he and his girlfriend were laid-off so they can’t afford to fix the car. We are assisting him in getting a vehicle so that he can work. It’s been taking him over two hours on the bus just to try to work for some temporary jobs.
This was probably the easiest one to assist. She just asked for a television. In fact it was so easy I had to find out more about Melanie. It turns out, she needs more but didn’t want to ask. She was laid-off in the floral business. She has two children, 18 and 12. The TV was for her older daughter. She has a car, but it doesn’t run. Thanks to a friend, we were able to give her a television. She asked for nothing else but I did give her a gift certificate at Wal-Mart and she cried and hugged me. She was very thankful for such a nice gesture.

The mother, Jerrie, called me from Missouri. She has some relative in Las Vegas that saw my ad and said that she should call me. Jerrie was calling on behalf of her daughter, Michelle. Michelle has two kids, 11 and 10 with no father figure present. Neither Jerrie or Michelle are working as things are very difficult in Carl Junction, Missouri. Michelle is about to lose her house and doesn’t know where to go since her mom is not in any better of a financial condition to assist.

Lorraina, has five children, three under the age of 18. Her husband worked in construction, unfortuantely without a license. After several warnings, he was placed in the detention center. He can now be released on house arrest, but they don’t have a house anylonger! Lorraina’s company was sold then she was laid-off. She started at another company, then laid-off. She received an eviction notice on Christmas Eve and is currently staying at weekly motel.
