Hello,

My name is Joel. I'm a single father of a great 12 year old son and a beautiful 2 year old daugther.

This is quite hard for me to be doing, but I have not many choices at the moment. My wife left me 4 months ago and in the process has left us without transportation  and a pile of debt.

I've been a carpenter for 18 years now and had to take a job at the local elevator as customer sevice at $7 an hour. At this time My kids and I just cannot seem to catch a break in life.I keep food on the table and clothes on them but keep falling behind on everything else. I do not drink, drugs or anything of that nature. I pray every day for a miracle. I look at these two and hurt and pain of not giving what they need fills me.

I found this to maybe find willing people to help us out. Not asking for fanything free, loans donations anything to help us get into a permanent home and back on finacial track.

I never realized the feeling of defeat until this past year. I married a woman with a bipolar disorder I thought after find this out that I could help her for our children and didn't realize I'd lost myself in doing so. It just hurts so bad to see my daughters mother continue on the path she's been on her entire life and not admitting her disorder. I pray everyday that she finds help for herself and her children. I see now that there is no hope for finding the happiness we once had together now that she's left witout seeing the damage or even having any remorse.

thank you for taking the time to stop and  read my plea for help

Joel
