Dear Christine,
I am A MOTHER of four children. I have been living in someone’s backyard for over a year now.
I went to the National Housing Corporation for assistance but I got the run around. I also went to the Welfare Department and was told they would pay half the rent if I found a house, but I cannot pay the other half as I am not working.
I went everywhere I could on my own and just got the turn around. I don’t know where else to turn.
If someone has a house for rent between $500 and $600 I would be grateful. I’m really asking some good samaritan to please help.
If someone can rent me a piece of land, the Urban Development Commission would build a home for me.
I’m also asking for a television and living room chairs since those I had weredestroyed by the rain. I am desperately in need of help. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Dear Christine,
I am GETTING MARRIED in three months. My problem is that I am a plus size. I wear size 20 or 22.
Wedding dresses are very expensive. Both families are helping with the wedding. I have lost my job and I cannot afford to buy a dress.
I am kindly asking anyone who can assist me or knows anyone who has a white wedding dress that they can give to me to get in contact.
I would be very grateful, even if it is a bigger size that can be altered. Thank you.

Dear Christine,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope the Lord will bless you with the strength to continue doing your good work.
I wrote to you before and have received some assistance, but I am in need of some help once more. I am a pensioner and funds are quite limited. I have run into difficulty paying my water bill. When I receive my pension I have to buy food, pay the electricity bill and the court.
I asked my parliamentary representative for help and he turned me down. I also visited the Welfare Department but was told that I had to pay half the bill. So I’m writing to you for help.
I am willing to work it off. I can clean, iron or wash. My only restriction is the arthritis in my back and feet but I’m still willing to work.
Please, I don’t want money in my hand. If anyone is willing to help, they can have the bill.
Thanks, Christine, for your time and space.
