Facing both serious health challenges and financial hardship takes incredible strength, and reaching out here shows courage during such a difficult time. Many community members understand the overwhelming stress of managing health conditions while dealing with practical concerns like housing and finances - connecting with others who've faced similar struggles can provide both emotional support and practical resources that might help navigate this challenging period.

I wish things were not so this way. I just got my power turned back on that was shut off for over a week. It's not easy but we are strong and although it is absolute torture we HAVE to find positive in this and if it be God even if we don't get it all the way it's better than to believe in nothing. Can't loose. But, I will tell you the more you open up to him the more he will show you just how real he is. And your God doesn't have to be the same as everyone else's. Sometimes I just simplify it by saying I need to align myself with the positive energy. I can confuse myself easily with questions and complicating things so I find myself getting "tune-ups" very often to keep in line. If you know you know. Much love and thank you for being you.
