Mum of four praying for help paying rent

Share post:

Dear Christine,
I PRAY THAT SOMEONE will see this letter and come to my aid. I am a single mother of four children. I am working at the moment but my income is less than my bills. I am a diabetic and was on sick leave for some time due to my illness. As a result, my bills and rent have not been paid as I would have liked.
Christine, life is hard but I am not going to give up. Could someone please help me pay the rent arrears?
I have no place else to go and I don’t want to lose the house. I just need this help so I can get back on track!
No room
I have family but living with them is a no-no because they have no room. I’m also asking for a second-hand washing machine since I could really do with one.
My children’s father is giving me a hell of a time and couldn’t care less if they eat or drink. Right now I feel like I can’t take any more so I’m crying out to the Lord for help. I’m telling Him everything and I know He will send someone to help me.
Christine, getting this rent paid is my main goal right now, just so that I can keep a roof over my children’s head.

Dear In Need of Help,
I cannot say enough about how irresponsible women are when they get children from men who “couldn’t care less”.
In that regard I do not think you have been responsible enough – not when you allow yourself to be saddled and left to look after four children on your own. For your own safety and good, I hope you will not be having any more children.
I have printed your letter as requested. Like you, I hope that someone will reach out and help.
Keep the faith.
– CHRISTINE
