Blessings to everyone that this message comes across. My name is Laressa and I have come this far by Faith and Prayer. There may or may not be believers through this social platform but I write this plea of help unbiased and unprejudice. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and every step that is ordered is intentional . I am a Mom of 6 beautiful miracles and a wife to a loving husband. Both my husband and I work and believe that dedicated work and faithfulness in anything you do will eventually yield fruits from your labor. My husband and I have been married for 14 years and worked through many obstacles that I believe have made us who we are together this very day. Some of the obstacles we faced have been unexpected struggles with our health, our finances and our past residences we’ve resided in. We’ve been married since May 23rd 2009 and have suffered great losses that have physically put us behind and cause our family to struggle from being able to provide the way we need to for our child their future. We’ve always worked for a living and never been the type to ask for help unless things got bad enough that neither my husband or myself could get out of the situation and honestly that really hasn’t been but 2 or 3 times considering that we’ve gone through a lot.
Some of the things we’ve encountered was 1st we suffered 6 miscarriages with no answers on how or what the cause was to fix what was broken. We were just told “keep trying”. Because of these losses it took a toll on my body and our financial circumstances in me not being able to work and then leaving everything on my husband. This includes emotional and physical and financial hardship. By the time we tried to come up from the struggle, we were trying to repair the losses of physical damages of delinquent living arrangements while maintaining the current and rying to sustain what we had and not lose what’s left. But as you read in the beginning by God’s grace thru the power of prayer and Faith, we overcame that and have been blessed with 6 children; miraculously healed. We experienced 6 losses but, later celebrated 6 gains.
Then, tragically about 1yr later, one awful night my husband began to feel pain in his abdomen and started sweating profusely and complained that he couldn’t breath and he felt like he was going to pass out. As he made his got out of bed and made his way to the door to go get some fresh air. He fell in our bathroom, hitting his head and face on the toilet bowl and busted his lip and forehead knocking him totally unconscious. When I ran to see what happened because of only hearing a noice after he left our room, the entire bathroom was filled with blood as I watched life leaving my husbands body. I immediately called 911 for help. They arrived within 5 minutes, revived my husband in the way to the hospital to find out that my husband had severe ulcers in in his intestines and was internally bleeding. They said this was caused due to a high intake of coffee and poor diet. This was contributed to my husband making sacrifices for the kids and I to be able to eat and so he would drink loads of coffee and sometimes that would be the only thing he had all day to keep his energy to be able to work and not get tired to keep bills paid and a roof over our heads. He spent 1 mth out work collecting unemployment untile he was well enough to work again.
After overcoming those losses and we began to both work and get back in our feet, then my mother suffered 3 strokes consecutively that pushed her into early retirement now leaving full responsibility of her health and finances on us. I was adopted and I’m the only child with no siblings to share help with. After her strokes, my mom never returned back to her normal self and as more time went by she lost more and more independence. She can no longer work, no longer drive and no longer afford all of her bills on her fixed social security income. We are currently taking care of ourselves as well as my mother without any outside assistance. We don’t have assistance because of pride but because there’s more limitations and “do just enough” programs to get help than it is to struggle with what you have and make it work. You have to only make a minimum amount in order to get help but with both my job and husband’s jobs we make too much to get help.
Though things have been a struggle, and seems like we’ve taken 5 steps back to take 1 step ahead, somehow God has always made sure our family has never been without. I didn’t know about this social platform but I believe I was lead to this point because we are finally moving in a direction towards coming out of a life long struggle. My husband and didnt think we would be eligible but to our surprise we submitted our documents and got pre approved for a home. We didn’t think the prices would happen so fast but we began looking and found a place we really like and about 1 mth after putting in an offer we just got accepted 3 days ago. We recently began saving because my husband and I have only recently been in a position to do this since everything explained above has been happening to us.
We have about $3000 saved and we are supposed to be putting down an earnest down payment of $5400 + by next Friday and then have to come up with the additional balance of the down payment amount by Sept 15th.
While we were overjoyed with this news of this blessings, sister struck again. 1 day after we got the acceptance there was a bad storm that hit our neighborhood and floodes our basement where we and our 2 youngest children (2 yr old and 1 yr old) slept. Some of our clothes got damaged, shoes, furniture and everything just looks so bad 😔.. Though this loss is happening at the worst time, we still believe and have hope that God is still able to provide in helping us achieve this new blessing that is right within our reach!!
We are stepping out on Faith by writing this post and asking for help in any that we can get. We are grateful for anything financially that anyone is will to give to help our family fulfill this purposeful miracle. Our children our looking forward to it and we are looking forward to it!!
Please help us accomplish this goal in this timely manner. We’re not looking for a huge amount or even a hand out to abuse or misuse in poor money management. We’re looking for a favorable blessing towards a miracle that will change our family’s life forever. We will forever be thankful and grateful of everyone that is able to help us WE’RE SO CLOSE!!
There’s a scripture that says you have not because you ask not.. THIS IS US ASKING 😌❤️
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ALLOWING GOD TO USE YOU IN BEING A BLESSING!!
