Homeless Family In Need

Donation protected


Hello my name is Shelena. I'm creating this page for a mother who has 3 children and is on the verge of homelessness. The Mother is much like a big sister and spiritual mentor to me. I've seen her go through many triumphs and disappointments. Yet despite this, I've watched her still remain faithful to her family and her dedication to God in the ministry. It's an honor to attempt to help this deserving family on a greater impact. However this can only become possible with your assistance. The background of this family is as follows. The Mother has Conversion Disorder (Conversion disorder is a mental condition in which a person has blindness, paralysis, or other nervous system (neurological) symptoms that cannot be explained by medical evaluation. She's not blind, yet I can testify to many of the effects from the other symptoms. Symptoms have left her unable to talk for weeks on end, along with her body completely shutting down. This condition has also kept her out of work at the advise of doctors. As you can also imagine finances and daily living has also taken it's toll. We're both in the ministry and she's a phenomenal mentor in Christ. Yet, much like the disciples from  the word (like Job)I've watched her go through physical, and emotional ailments. Not to mention a non-supportive husband, family, and other judmental friends. Mind you, I'm not trying paint all her business. I'd just like you to understand the severity of her situation. Her eldest daughter works, yet her 18 year old twins are in their senior year of High School. Stability has been a challenge as (1)Her disability has also been cut without explanation. (2)Many others have abused her kindness. & (3) She's been denied constantly for housing.... until now... She's finally gotten approved for a home, yet their asking for 2 times the down-payment along with rent. She had great credit, but it became messed up during medical set backs beyond her control. Your donations will not only allow them to move in but have a chance at a piece of mind. Donations will cover fees, food, electricity, and provide a small cushion. Any assistance will greatly be appreciated. Please spread the word to your family, friends, and business associates to support this dynamic family in need. God Bless!
