Family in Financial Trouble

Donation protected
My name is Matthew Stickney, I am a father of 3 wonderful children and have a loving and caring wife. We love and trust that God is and has always been our provider. Currently we are struggling because of an outrageous tax bill we were notified of 8 hours before they deducted it from my pay. We are short on funds this month for paying our bills, buying food, and getting our remaining Christmas gifts bought. We have added up the amount we need to replace the total amount taken from us which is the total goal of this fundraiser. Please consider sharing this message with anyone you know and all who love God so we can see the power God has in this world. What makes this so difficult is because we are currently living paycheck to paycheck barely getting by, and when this tax was taken it destroyed our finances.

God is the ever providing father, Jesus we need you to rescue us from financial disaster. Use this fundraiser to find those with a soft heart full of the love of Jesus Christ, who have the ability to provide relief from our current struggle, Amen.

With this recent trouble we are having difficulty with paying our bills and the current issues in the country don't help. This unfortunate event has taken a large portion of our funds this month because of a large tax bill I was uninformed about because of a tuition reimbursement program at my employer. I had received tuition reimbursement for 3 years prior to this year and never received a notice that they were going to take taxes out of my paycheck so this was completely unexpected. I received an email stating that because the funds I received to pay for school from my employer were considered taxable wages they need to deduct all the taxes from my paycheck. I got this email 8 hours before I got paid and had no way to prepare for this huge financial loss.

I am pleading with God to provide a way for us to come up with the funds necessary to get back on track with our finances so our family will not go without paying all our bills and buying food this month. I am doing everything I can by trying to find this money but am coming up seriously short.

I have asked those at my Seminary School to start a chain of prayers and if they can help it would be appreciated. I ask through prayer that any who are willing to find it in their heart to help us build up the needed amout of this fundraiser so our family doesn't fall short this Christmas.

Merry Christmas & God Bless

May Jesus watch over all who read this and determine if they want to help a struggling family.
