Just a note to let everyone know my son is now home. God has answered our prayers, so never stop praying yours will be answered too.

 
My name is Carol 

 I'm writing because my family is in desperate need of help with our rental payment. My husband just started a full time job after months of searching, he’s working for a great company called EXCEED, where he works with adults that have developmental disabilities and providing them with job skills & training to help them become self-sufficient and employable in the workforce. He had a job lined up back in June but that job fell through. We just moved into this house in July and we have been picked off the list for Section 8 and have our intake appointment next week (8/15/06). We are on State Aid and only receive 500.00 dollars, so there was not enough money to pay the rent for this month. We have 5 children with our oldest Steven Patterson (15 years old) is missing (www.missingkids.com)( Put in California and his name Steven Patterson missing within 1 year). Please Pray for our family. We are in need of some help.. We have been through quite a bit of hardship these last few months and things are starting to look up for our family.
Just a little info to let you know what we have been through, back in April my husband Randy and I were both working; we were borrowing a car so we could get to work. The car we were driving got impounded due to not having a license plate on the front of the car, we both lost our jobs, we were in a fight with a past employer for non-payment of wages, our son is missing and we had to move because of not being able to pay our rent due to the non-payment of wages and no jobs. The owner of the car took the car back so we still do not have a car. We had no money so we reached out to some agencies and we were Blessed to move into this home, we expected to have the rent but things didn't move quite fast enough. Now the landlord wants the rent by Friday Aug.11, 2006 or we have to move out, he has provided us a few more days to come up with the rent. We have no car and no place to go, if we have to move out we will be homeless, I don't want that to happen to our kids, school starts next week and they need not have any worries. We have a 13 (Keely), 11 (Duane), 5 (Tia) and 1 year old (Jaylan) at home and are still on a mad search for our son that is still missing. We need to be able to stay in this house so our son will be able to find us. We have given the police all of our new information and also to the mother of the girlfriend so if our son stops by there she can provide him with the new information.
Please we need some help I am very confident that we will be able to pay our rent from now on, the Section 8 will get started and my husband working will insure that we can take care of the payments from now on. Our rent is $2000.00 a month.
God has blessed our family and things are moving forward so I believe that this too will pass.
 
Thank You and Bless You
