My children deserve a birthday

Greetings everyone! I am new to this but I will try to tell you a bit about myself. I am a disabled, homebound, 53 year old mom/grandma to beautiful 7 and 8 year old boys. They are my grandson's, but I have adopted them to try to make a "better life" for them. I took them under wing at ages of 1 year and 1 week old, relatively. 

My oldest grandson is autistic, and he is not the typical child. Although, he is hard to care for, I will never let him know it. Many nights I sit and watch him rock, wondering if he will ever be able to live a full life as an adult. I pray I will be around many more years for him.
 

Up until now, I have been doing okay by them. I am in the process of trying to get settled into a rental in Georgia. I came from Michigan, where I now find has much more to offer the disabled or low income family. I moved to Georgia after I found I have to have a leg amputated. I needed to be near someone who could take care of my boys during my hospital stay and recovery.

 In Michigan, I received $350.00 in food stamp help for the three of us per month. Here in Georgia it has been reduced to $72.00 per month. I had Home help care worker, who I received $1000.00 per month to pay.  Here in Georgia, I do not receive any such help. I cannot get out shopping nor do I have the money to shop. I am falling behind in my bills. I do not want to go on, talking about my woes, as most of you have heard so many crying out or have troubles of your own. 

What I am trying to get to is this. I am not one to ask for help, but I have reached my bottom, so to speak. My boy's birthdays are both this month. Luckily, they do not understand dates yet. But, as July is almost over, I am getting desperate. If there is any way, anyone could donate a gift for a 7 or 8 year old, I would be so so grateful! Please let me know so I can give you my address. I do not want their birthday to pass without them receiving a thing. This is breaking my heart more than I can possibly express.

I thank you so much and may God bless you all with health, wealth and happiness. God Bless the child who got his own...

Blessings~

Xtragr8ful's question

Greetings everyone! I am new to this but I will try to tell you a bit about myself. I am a disabled, homebound, 53 year old mom/grandma to beautiful 7 and 8 year old boys. They are my grandson's, but I have adopted them to try to give them  a" better life".   I took them under wing at ages of 1 year and 1 week old, relatively. 

Up until now, I have been doing okay by them. I am in the process of getting settled into a rental in Georgia. I came from Michigan, which I now find had much more to offer the disabled or low income family. I moved to Georgia after I found I have to have a leg amputated. I need to be near someone who can take care and nuture my boys during my hospitalization and my recovery. 

However, since moving to Georgia, I have had to give up on many of the benefits I had in Michigan.  I have never experienced this type of poverty before!  Georgia is a state not inclined to help the poor or needy. I do not want to go on, talking about my woes, as most of you have heard so many crying out or have troubles of your own.  If you want to know more, please read my blog.  Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to read this profile page...please keep us in your prayers.                        

warmest regards~

There is a lady that lives in this community that had a job at a company which she worked at for over 21 years. It was factory work and the company went belly up so she had to make a decesion to either find her another job or go back to school so she decided to take the school route. Because the number of jobs here are so scarce but what she draws a month does not even cover a portion of her bills and i am not talking about things she doesnt need, I am talking just the basics, now all of her bills are so far behind she is on the edge of loosing everything she owns. This lady has always been a hard worker and a very giving person to her kids and everyone she knew. No one ever went to this ladys house hungry and left that way. If someone needed something she would always go no matter if was a friend of a friend of a friend that ask her to do something and she didnt even know the person. She would also have a fit if she knew this was being posted, she doesnt ask anybody for anything but if  theres any possible way  any one out there can help it would be greatly appriciated before her house gets foreclosed on.... pennies add up.... I really hope we can save this womans house its not a very big house but it is the ladys home. if anyone could help with donations it would be really appriciated  

~oh yes she is going for a nursing degree~she want to work in a nursing home with the elderly
