Support Joy's Journey to Stability and Healing

Donation protected
•Blessings to you, I'm Jo Ellen in S.E. TN, call me Joy. I'm 59 years old and am struggling to not be homeless.
After 38 years of marriage, my husband abandoned me at the lowest point in my life, in bad health and with no job.
Many of you know Darrell Calhoun is here with me. He has been a constant support and great help, reviving a very wilted flower back to life. I wouldn’t be here if The Father God Almighty didn’t send him to me. I’m so grateful for this.
•I am working on getting disability, but that takes a chunk of time to accomplish.
I have severe degenerative disc disease in my neck and surgery has been postponed due to the statements below.
•I have sold my house to my neighbors of 13 years at bottom dollar to save it from foreclosure. I have to be out by Feb. 24th and after signing the papers on the 25th, my “kind” neighbors will not allow me to step foot back on the property to collect any more of my possessions. I'll have to rebuild from scratch.
I will have to pay the final utility bills being roughly $500 before I can have service in the next place. $$$ Application fees are anywhere from $35 to $50 per adult on rentals, sometimes other fees.
Fees, fees, fees!
•I have applied for a job and am in the onboarding process but have no idea when I will actually start.
I am having a problem getting a rental property due to the fact that I have no proof of sufficient income yet.
It looks that I will have to stay in a cheap hotel room until income is established. That in itself is costly, even weekly, in the most rundown joints.
•My car needs repairs still.
I so appreciate all the donations Loving people have given. They have truly been a blessing to help me hang on.
I would appreciate prayers for my severe anxiety and physical issues.
•I know God Almighty works in mighty and mysterious ways.
I'm trusting HIM and know He understands where I am and that I do not wish to fear.
•Thank you for even reading this fraction of my story.
Much love, blessings, and appreciation.
Yours in Christ!
Joy
