Philanthropist Has A Message For Everyone

By Anonymous Philanthropist Message

Over the last week the staff has gone through many requests and evaluated which ones meet my protocol to possibly receive an award from me. I must say that I am very disappointed with the many requests that are being rejected because they do not even meet the guidelines, let alone my protocol.

Because I am very dissatisfied with how this process is going, the entire request process is going to be revamped.

1. You will have to provide detailed information about your request. For example, if you request $1,000 to pay for a debt that is a true need; I will have to know what the debt is and the exact amount of the debt. In addition if the rest of your application passes the protocol and a staff person calls you for proof, that proof must match what you submitted in the application.

2. You may not make requests in unreasonable amounts. So what is an unreasonable amount? Here is a good place to start with answering that question. Put yourself in my shoes. If someone asked you to buy them a $300,000 house would you? It doesn’t matter how much money you have, you would not buy a house for anyone you did not know for $300,000.

3. Because many people emailed asking if their request was received, you will receive an email confirming the receipt of your request. You still will not be able to check the status of a request because this is a personal approach, not an computer generated answer.

4. We will reject every request immediately if a person violates any of the guidelines, no questions asked, no second chances. I did not want to deal with things like this but the staff is overwhelmed with violations and it slows things down too much.

I am now going to give the status for some requests. If your request was similar to any that I am about to describe, your request was rejected.

1. If you made a request that I purchase you a house in any amount over $100,000.
2. If you requested that I pay off $50,000 or more of your debt.
3. If you requested that I pay off your mortgage.
4. If you wanted a business loan or start up capital. (However, I will have the staff email you a source that may be able to help you with this. It just does not meet my protocol.)

If your request was not like any of the 4 listed above it has not necessarily been rejected. It does not mean it will not be rejected or approved but you may still be in the process. I wanted to mention the 4 examples above because far too many requests were like those and there is no need in you wondering if your request will be awarded anymore.

I have reviewed some of your comments on the blog. I would like to thank you for all your kind words. I do not do this to receive accolades or praise. That is why I keep my identity a secret. I do not want people trying to honor me or give me awards for helping people. I do this only because I enjoy helping people. I do this because it is my nature.

Well I wish you all a safe and good weekend,
Anonymous Philanthropist

PS I have the website designer working to get the changes made by September 1.

—— Added August 9 from staff member —
This is a common question that has been submitted. We are going to answer it in this post.

Will I have to resubmit my request if I did not give details?
The philanthropist has not made a final call on this as of yet. The blog will give instructions if this will be the case.

    To the philanthropist, thank you so much for the update. I am very much satisfied with your message. Everything I have had in mind is answered. Thank you sir/madame.

    Sincerely,

    christine

  • Matthew

    I can only imagine how overwhelmed you and your staff are, and I give you Kudos for your patience in dealing with what Im sure are thousands of requests. Its unfortunate that youre faced with requests that arent submitted per your guidelines and protocol, and Im sympathetic to your situation. What youve asked from those of us requesting assistance was not much at all in my opinion, and I believe you were more than fair in listing your guidelines. I hope things smooth out for you and your staff, and that the process of filtering out the requests becomes easier. Thank you again for your kindness, patience, and generousity…God Bless You and your Crew!

  • Maritza

    Hello Sir,
    Thanks for the updates. I do agree with Matthew above. You were definitely fair in listing your guidelines, unfortunately there are lots of people just trying to make a quick buck anyway they can. Thanks again.

    Dear philanthropist,

    Good Luck best wishes for a successful endeavor This is quite an undertaking. I’m glad that someone stepped out of themselves enough to know that people are hurting in this world if only there were more like you. Blessings!

    Great Regards

  • Ruth

    Thank you for making things clear in every-ones minds. (Although there should not have been the need to!) I know you do not want thanks or praise but you truly deserve it. I am sorry that you and your team are having such a stressful time sorting through the many requests that you have. I am sure that things will slow down now that you have posted this message.

  • Marvin

    I applaud you for not helping people for a pat on the back. You are truly a person of God.

  • Laura M

    I`m sure lots of people have requested money from you,.Everyone has a need, Or what they consider a need. You must be having a time of great pondering. And a overwhelming thoughts of who to help and who might be just fine without your help. I`m sure you are glad to be able to assist those in need, And perhaps someone has done something kind for you to payfoward to you fellow man. Well done if thats the case. Money is not always the root of all evil. Just a thought. I feel selfish to say I hope i`m still being considered for your assistance.

  • barbara salters

    i agree with the philanthropist why on earth would some 1 buy you a 300,000 dollar house and dont even know you or met you.lol,its just hilarious and sad that alot of people in the world are so materialistic and want the bling.its very sad.if you cant afford a house like this,why would you think a stranger will buy it for you?

  • steven hennessey

    i would just like to thank all the folks involved with this
    endeavor, as i am sure that the amount of reponses
    was huge. thank you from all of us.
    steven

  • Kathy

    The update is very much appreciated. Thank you. Also it is so very kind of you to even consider this great task of helping the needy.

  • Ray Smith

    I do not know how anyone can arrive at a decision when there is so many asking. I know however, that those that truly are in need will have the need resolved when it is the way of a person, it is the way of God and who will make the connections that are needed to be made, exactly on time and in a way that will do more that just answer the need. This is truly one of those divine connections. It is good to see such a humble person who is so blessed. I bet without knowing you, you can be found in the book of Psalms chapter 112.
    I pray that those whom really have a need, are blessed to receive one. I also pray, that I am included in such a blessing.
    You have a good weekend as well.

  • Ann

    I think it’s appropriate for the philanthropist to screen requests as he chooses. He is helping me and how dare I make a foolish request

  • ryan brando santos

    Sir/Maam, I understand how hard it is for you and for your staff to sort this thing out. I further understand your undertaking. I know it is your desire to cater each and every need of all the people who requested for a grant but since a lot here didn’t comply to the guidelines and protocols you implemented for the request you have no choice but to revamp the process of request in fairness to you and the people who made a request. That would be the best thing to make this thing goes smoothly. God bless.

    Ryan brando

  • christalyn monte de ramos

    Sir/Madame, i just wish a successful endeavor for you and your staff. I know how disappointing for you after receiving overwhelming requests that didn’t comply to your guidelines. You already made it clear in the first. You set rules and guidelines. You’ve been fair. If there is a lot of requests being refused because of not complying to the protocols, then, it’s just right for you to reject them. It’s your prerogative. I know you are willing to help and I know that you know very well who’s to be helped. God bless and more power to you and your staff!

    Sincerely,
    christalyn MDR

  • James N

    Well said! Bless God More! BLESSINGS TO ALL!

  • JoAnne z

    Dearest kind person
    I find that you are very sweet, and the requirements you have posted, are nothing for a person to comply with, if they are in fact truely needy at this time. I want to tell you how wonderful you are, in this day of extreme greed, selfishness, cruelty to each other…Thank you, weather you can help me or not. x

  • Betty

    I don’t know where you are located, or even if this makes much sense as I am someone requesting help. However, I would love to be of assistance in any way I can, whether of not my request is granted. My heart swells at the idea of all this. I want to be a part of this total kindness..
    I have years of experience in Social Services, and it pains me seeing the people (including myself) that fall through the government set cracks. People who have worked hard their whole life and unfortunate circumstances hit. Life has it’s ups and downs; sometimes, like with health issues, you just get stuck. I’ve had times I’ve worked 3 jobs to make ends meet. I so wish I had the health, the stamina, or the ability to do so now.
    Please let me know how I can help you. I am very sincere. And believe me, I’d rather be a giver than have to ask for any help. It pains me to do so.

  • margie

    Mr. philantropist I agree with your guidelines and hope that they will be followed by those seeking your help.

  • Melanie

    HI,

    I admire what you are doing to help people. I think that you must be a wonderful person to help out people who are going through financial difficulties. The world needs more people like you who genuinely care about others. It is sad that in this day and age that people don’t care anymore about human kindness. I think I was born at the wrong time. My parents are in their 70’s and have instilled in me a great sense of morals and kindness towards others. I do not want a handout because I was not raised that way. I believe in paying my own way. I only need some temporary assistance and would be more than glad to pay every single penny of it back. If you need an assistant to help you out with your mission, I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider me. I take great pride in helping others in any way possible. I am an extremely hard worker and would do everything in my power to help those less fortunate. Please let me know if there is anything I could possibly do to help you in your mission to help others because I could really use the extra money and would love nothing more than to see that honest, sincere people get the help that they need.

    Thanks so much for taking time to read how I truly feel. It means alot to me.

  • Christine

    Hello Kind person,

    I agree with you. There are some of us who are looking for help and there are others that want the world. I do have a question though. Will you let us know if we don’t receive the grant or do you put us back into the pool for the next month?

    I do have to tell you that it is wonderful to know that there are still people in this world today that are willing to help others in need. Thank you for all of your help and generosity.

  • Rebecca Walters

    I am kind of disgusted by the examples you’ve listed. I frequently assist my friends, sometimes strangers, though not in monetary ways, sadly, I cannot do that at this time of my life. But I spend alot of time helping with REAL needs, like the 3 hours I spent tracking down the contact information for a friend to contact her county when her ceiling collapsed and she was busy moving out of her rental apartment and the landlord refused to repair the damage (it was sewer leakage). THOSE are real needs, and I’m sad that so many people would be so selfish as to ask for help with “things” instead of “needs”. It must be very, very disheartening for you and your staff to see those requests. I only hope that someday those requesting such things will learn the difference between a need and a want. (I explain it to my kids every time I hear, “But MOOOOMM, I need that video game.” but I expect it from an 11 year old, not grown people). But please, remember that there are those of us out there that just need a hand up, not a hand out, and it’s little gestures (or big ones in this case) that really give us hope, and faith, and peace of mind to reach forward and keep going.
    Thank you again for the amazing things you are doing. You may not be looking for accolades, but it’s always pleasant to hear a simple Thank You.

  • kimmy

    kimmy

  • marissa

    i just want to say thank you for helping those in need.some people really must not know the difference between a need and just plain greed.you are blessing others because you are truly blessed and people still tend to take advantage.shame on them and good for you sitting the record straight.good luck to all that really needs this mysterious angels help.god bless you sir/madame.

  • Stacy Wilson

    To Whom it May Concern;
    I’m shur you hear all these compliments alot. And I’m shur that you get very overwhelmed with all the different circumstances that people share with you. I can honestly say I would never want to be in yur position. (As far as trying to decide the people who are truely in “need”). I do believe that you will recieve a blessing many times over, for the kindness you are spreading. I believe I’d never want to have ALOT of money, but I would love just to be comfortable. The thing that pains me, are the many people that have the wealth (even alittle) but don’t want to save the help for the ones that truely need the help. That is what breaks my heart. If I was put in your position, it would be so hard to not be able to help out everyone! But then you have these frauds that are just greedy, and don’t think about the people that are down on thier luck, or haven’t been blessed with wealth since birth. And they are just being selfish and not thinking about the ones that truely DO need the help. Just to get on thier feet. I hope that you have the insight to be able to tell the real from the fraud. I am one of the ones that have worked my whole life to try to get ahead in life, but always seem to get taken advantage of. But I’m very optimistic and I DO know that one day my optimism will pay off. I’ve had cervical cancer, in a MVA that severly mangled and disfigured my arm, and I’ve had health problems all my life, now I’m going to school to better my life, (At 36)(I also add that I’ve been a single mom for the last 8 yrs., with no help from child support or a dime from my ex to help out with any thing. He hasn’t even seen his daughters for over 5 yrs.),so hopefully my daughters will value thier education. So they won’t have to struggle all through life. I will end by saying, to everyone that reads this, even if you don’t get this help, don’t rely on anyone but your self. There is good in everything, it’s all in how you want to accept what comes your way. If this doesn’t come through for you, there is a reason for it. Only God knows the true reason. And look at it as, maybe you weren’t selected, but someone else who needed it more has been blessed, and one day you’ll recieve your blessing. God Bless and goodluck!

    why wouldnt you help someone buy a house? if its someone in need of one why wouldnt you? i have thought about it and if i had the kind of money you have then it wouldnt bother me to help out. i am not a millionaire, i dont even have a $100.00 in the bank right now but i would still help someone in need to the best of my ability. i was searching the internet to find help with paying my vehicle and house payments. i am currently employed full time ,i am enrolled in college and i have 4 children and i take care of my mother inlaw . my husband is self employed and has been since 1998. we have done very well in the past but now that the economy is in the slumps ,so are we. we didnt intend for this to happen and we thought we had enough money saved just incase hard times came around. well ,hard times came and never left. now we stand to lose our house our vehicle and i know i cant go to school this term. my mother inlaw is more than likely going to have to go into a home. this doesnt sound like a reasonable situation to ask you for help? what?do i have to be living on the streets with my family before you would help? man, thats pretty messed up i think. i mean what you do for some people is really greatful and everything and i know you dont have to do that but its also a tax break for you. i pray you never have to face hard times like this but i wish you would concider putting your feet our shoes and then have someone tell you you are a disappointment for asking for help(specialy when that person is asking you to ask.)

    Linda,

    If you have seen some of the requests that are coming in to us you would fully understand why the philanthropist is not buying a $300,000 or a $200,000 house for someone. It is very easy to say what you would do if you had a million dollars but put in that situation you would find that you would not do some of the things you thought because you would have more wisdom on financial matters. In addition, the philanthropist is not trying to go broke as a result of this website. There have been so many requests for houses to be bought (not needs but wants) that if the philanthropist actually bought the house he/she would have already spent millions of dollars.

    This website is setup to work a certain way with a certain budget. If this budget runs out or is spent to fast then the website will closed. That is why we are being so selective. It may sound harsh but we are trying to be around to help. If we spend $300,000 on 3 houses that is $900,000. How many requests do you think we could have helped for $900K verse 3 people getting a house they want?

    There are so many people currently with housing challenges that there is no way the philanthropist could help 1% of them. About all the philanthropist can do with this is try to help people to help themselves though starting small online business, etc…

    Hope this makes since to you.

    i didnt say i would buy a $300.000 or even a $200.000 home ,i wouldnt even buy a home for someone (i dont even own a $100.000 home myself) but i would help them get into or help keep a home or help with a car so they can get back and forth to work so they can provide for themself. even an online business needs a home and a way to go back and forth. i didnt ask for assistance. i was going to untill i read the philanthropist message to everyone. my husband and i do own a business and he runs it. i do work outside my home full time and i am tring to futher my education. im sure there are millions of others that want to do the same but they arent the ones asking i am. i dont just need the help but i want the help.its hard asking someone for that kind of help when you know someone else needs it more than you do. there will always be someone else in more need than yourself. the economy is so bad right now that even the working people are losing their homes and transportation.
    i think it is a great thing that you do in helping people in certain situations. not many do help.

    AFter trying to get my car to start today (need a starter for my 2000 Chevy Cavalier) I gave in. Rules are rules though. I gave it my best shot. If anything, I can use this thread as my blog for those who may be going through the same situation as I am. My mother LInda Lyon died October 24, 2004, my father isn’t doing well and he isn’t financial situation that can help me or my husband. I have 2 brothers that are struggling as well. But they are better off than we are. I made a huge mistake many years ago, that lead to this day. I was married to an abusive man who put me into the hospital and filed for divorce while I was there on “grounds of abandonment”. From that day forward with not having money to pay for the legal battle, I have been fighting to see my kids and paying child support when I could find a job. This is true. Public records will show this. Two of my kids are now emancipated (over 18yrs of age) and we stay in touch consistantly. My dd is 15 and at a difficult age. I have to comply with a court order to have a phone and internet access to stay in touch with my dd. I call her and leave messages, I email her and leave messages. Yet I haven’t seen her in 3yrs. He expects me to have a decent car and take the 12hr drive to see her. I need a job that will pay enough to cover the child support obligation and the monthly bills. I prayed about this site and gave it a shot to see if I can do something for myself and my husband. I remarried March 2007 with a good man, he too barely makes enough on his own to get by, when we both are working we’re able to start catching up. That’s all I want. If I am not able to receive what I have asked for, then I move forward and someone else who’s situation is worse than my is able to receive the needs that have to be met. Isn’t this what God wants from us? To pray for others as well as ourselves? Yes he does.

  • Heidi

    This is a woderful thing you are doing. God bless you for your generosity. I understand you have suspended requests as of Aug. 1st. When will you reopen requests? I feel guilty asking as I know so many more are in need and would prefer them to get help over me, but I also could use a helping hand right now. I would like to see an answer for this request if at all possible and then I will consider whether to apply or not.

    IN the meantime, I am so glad to know that God’s people are taking care of others. It is a blessing and encouragement for me.

    Kindly,
    Heidi

    Linda,Stacy,Lauri,
    You all have so much on your plate,no wonder you can not eat the desert.

    Somedays,I just do not know how most of us go on.We are losing our homes,our jobs,everything is crazy out there with the so called,’cost of living’

    We live on tho because that is what we do.
    You stand weeping as the door to your home has a foreclosure and eviction notice.

    You look at a kindly man in a service station and your eyes well with tears when he says,’You can make payments,even if it is 25 a month.’

    You break out in a cold sweat when,wanting to pass out when your job of many years looks at you with distaste because you are now ill.

    You get light headed,walking in to the welfare department as you have never been here before and you are greeted by a very ill tempered man,who was supposed to help you and you find out because of that three hundred dollars in savings,there is no help this month.

    And you close the door,look back and think,is this all there was and is to my life.

    You find yourself on a blog at five a.m.reading and wondering about others lives and you see the pain,the hurt,the anger and frustration that is yours.

    You wonder if they have reached this hopeless state of mind and body.You reach out in the morning for just a hand.

    Just a hand and you wonder,why has this person come in to your life,why with this blog site are they consuming my thoughts,my time,my energy.

    And then you smile,because you know they are smiling.They know and you know your both here for a reason.

  • Michelle Mesaris

    Mary ann…
    Reading that last statement you posted was like looking in the mirror and all I could do was cry and say AMEN!! No one truely knows the heartache, the gut-ache, the headache that we all go through when we have to live in these lives day after day after day and just be constantly reminded that it’s there and will my prayers ever be answered? Will this black cloud ever go away? I always say “If it wasn’t for bad luck I would not have any luck at all….and I tell ya…..I would rather have the “NO LUCK” at this point. Not only have I been trying so very hard to get in touch with someone here in regards to my re-issuing of my request because there was a computer error and I don’t want to be declined because I did not follow the rules but every day I am watching the bills increase and wondering how in gods name I am going to get out of this, I also found out I have Walking Pneumonia and the same day I found out that, I had just got home and went out to water the garden (so we can atleast save a little money in food) and I stepped in a small hold and broke my foot in 2 places!! All I could do was sit down and cry and scream “WHY?” My PG&E is due today, and because I have to have a cell phone because I have a severely disabled son who lives 40 miles from me and I have to be able to be gotten ahold of 24 hours a day, that is due as well and right now I am counting down the hours knowing come midnight the phone is going off and most likely the electricity which I have no clue what I am going to do because I have to have the air conditioning because of my disability and my rent has been due and I don’t have the money for that…..so basically it is all coming to a head! I have been doing so much research trying to find someone that can help us that I am at my wits end. I have sent out so many emails and no one answers. I pray so hard everyday that my phone will ring and I pick it up and someone says on the other end “Hello Michelle….we are calling to lend you a helping hand”! I just don’t know how many more tears I can cry and prayers I can ask. My grandmother & I have this saying when things get tuff….”Blow Bubbles”….but I have run out of bubbles. My heart goes out to you all….it is a shame that our country has come to this and we are the ones that have to suffer from it. Thanks to the President who has gotten all of us in this pickle….he only has a few more months in office and then he has nothing to worry about…..he gets to go home to a beautiful house that is paid off, with food in his pantry, gas in his tank, a few new cars to drive, a healthy paycheck every month, health insurance for him and his family, money in his pocket to go out for entertainment, and his bills taken care of, not to mention plenty of beautiful clothing to wear……while the rest of us sit and wonder if we are going to have a job tomorrow or a house over our heads and food in our tummys. You know I feel there is something wrong with that picture! This is no longer the land of opportunity! I wish everyone the best and I hope and pray that you are lucky enough to get that phone call and to those who have gotten then calls….”Con-Grats…..sorry but I wish I was in your shoes. I will go back to my searching and my tears and I will not give up!
    Love to you all and my heart really does go out to you….
    Michelle Mesaris
    P.S.I agree with you Lauri….atleast we can blog and try and be strong for each other!

  • Mary ann

    Michelle,
    I am finally glad I gave in and came back to check the blog.It sure was great hearing from you.
    Oh my god,are we related in the bad luck family or what?

    My Dad used to say,’This is a bad luck family and always will be but Marushka it is what we do with that bad luck that counts in this life.’
    I have decided lately I am and never will be as strong as he was.

    Like you I want to read just one post here from someone that got help,so I can smile for them,with them and know there is hope here.I am not complaining or whining here just sharing.And so very glad you shared back with me and all here.

    There is no recourse here for me and many.I will never be out in the work force again and how I miss it,laughs because I am actually saying that.But there is a help there,the paycheck that finally comes in.When your in a position where there will be none it is a very awakening cold slap that does not feel good.

    For people like us everything becomes a trauma,because we have nothing and no one to fall back on.How sad,how very sad.
    Michelle kiddo I do not know how much more you can go thru here in the miracle mile of life but hang in there because even this walk will be over someday and as it ends we will be wanting more.

    I am tired,weary and wishful.
    We are dreamers Michelle,so escape there and know all that you smile about will happen,it will happen,it has to for without that we have so little.
    Blessings always and no more broken legs to you.Hey,crutches are great at least people open doors for you once in awhile,laughs.

    Take care,take care,
    Mary ann

  • Michelle Mesaris

    Hey MaryAnn…..
    Thanks for the reply……it brought tears to my eyes. You know sometimes you just feel like you are the only one in this little boat of life with no paddles out at rough seas!!! I just watch this whole thing just crumbling around me daily and I just keep “Blowing Bubbles” because I do not know what else to do. I had just sent another message to the staff here on my open ticket right before I came here and read your message because I have just been sick because of the computer problem I had when I re-issued my request and I am so affraid that I have been denied because of it and it was all out of my control but yet I have been trying desperately to get in touch with someone here to correct it. I know and totally understand what you mean when you say you wish someone would leave a message saying that they have been approved and how it has changed their lives…..atleast it would give each and every one of us a little bit more hope and a reason to put a smile on our faces.
    I know how you feel when you say about going back to work. I, as like you, miss it as well and I to have to laugh when I say that because, like many others, we all have said sometime in our work history how we wish we did not have to work but I tell you what when you are forced out of not being able to work you really do end up missing it! I miss the paycheck (of course), the interaction with other people, staying busy and so on. Infact just latlely I keep telling my daughter and fiance’ that I am going to go back to work and they both just look at me and laugh and say “yeah right….ok….we’ll see!” I would love to go back to work but deep in my soul I know that I would never be able to make it. With my illness I would be down in less then a day.
    I hope and pray each and every day, multiple times a day, that I recieve a phone call. I really don’t know how much longer I am going to be able to keep the power on and a roof over our heads. As each month goes by it just gets further and further behind and the scary part is the health issue in this whole matter which is one of the main reasons why I applied. I don’t know how much longer I am going to be able to go to my Dr (which is the one that prescribes all of my medications (which is many upon many) and as for my fiance’ he is down to days if not has already run out of his medications so I am down too counting days!!! There is not a day that goes by that I am not on the computer all day long doing research trying to see what other means or sources I can find that could possibly helps us. I am sending emails out to anyone and everyone and you really know what the sad things is in all of this…..out of all of the emails I have sent out do you know that I have not recieved not one message back of acknowledgement, sorry there is nothing we can do for you, any leads, nothing……talking about feeling so alone! And I know that I am not the only that is probably out there doing this. It is bad for everyone right now and to tell you honestly I really do not know how our nation is going to pull ourselves out of this one! I am so affraid that my biggest nightmare is just right around the corner but like you said we all are dreamers and that is all we have to hold on to so as long as I still have a breath in me and a little giddy-up in my step (even with a broken foot in 3 places….lol) I will do whatever it takes to get us out of this hole!
    I wish you all the best and as long as we have this blog and prayers for each other that we will get a call soon then I think we can still “Blow Bubbles!” Take care of yourself and we will blog again soon!!

    Like you Michelle my capability of blowing bubbles and making lemonade is like double fooey,it just is not happening right now for me.I can not seem to pick my spirits up so have not been around on-line.

    I have to laugh tho,everywhere I went fo help has denied me.
    I got two denials in 24 hours.
    So much for our government help.For all the times I might have been judgemental may god forgive me.
    I have been out of work since july.I have never collected unemployment in my 40 years of working,ya I started young,ha.
    I have been denied even tho released back to work with severe restrictions,my job of 23 years said goodbye to me.

    I can do something according to my doctor,just cant be a nurse anymore,and with these restrictions no one will hire me,as I will be a risk to them.So much for the crapola on hiring the handicap and disabled.
    Now here I have to chuckle,even tho it says I can work,unemployment says I am unable so they refuse to pay me,so much for paying in to that all these years.
    And welfare denied me as they say I am NOT disabled.ARE you laughing yet?So I guess the fight is on,appeals to be written.And I am sending these government agencies the others denial letters so they can see what fools they appeared to be to me.

    So this is what people have been against? How my country shames me right now.Right now if it wasn’t for salvation army being kind to me,there would be no food here.Oh well,guess I lived good all these years,now its my turn.

    When I asked welfare about meds, was told,take the denial letter to pharmacies maybe they will give you a discount.Oh I could swear like a sailor right now,discount???Like that will help me with no income.
    E-mail me kiddo and we can exchange real addresses because I have 1 more month til this is shut off and I sure can use a friend right now.Seems people forget about you when your needy,god all those years at my job and not one card,sad isnt it?

    Take Care,take care,
    Mary ann
