I don’t have a website, and I am not wealthy. In fact I am completely on the other side of the fence! I am currently looking for some financial help and I don’t know the place to look. I have applied for state benefits and was given medical help for my children and food stamps, but no financial help. I also take care of my 15 year old sister , who lost her mother earlier this year. We are currently living off of her rsdi benefits which are barely enough to pay our rent. I feel extremely guilty using her money! I do begin school , hopefully next month, but at the latest it will be January. I will be majoring in Social work. It is going to be a long , hard journey , but I know it will all be worth it in the end. I just need a little boost right now. My electric is in danger of being shut off , as well as my phone. These are two very important things! My children and I need heat and cooking fuel , and I need to keep my phone on to ensure I can keep looking and eventually find work. I really have no one to fall back on, just myself! My father is always on the road for his job, and my siblings are all battling demons within in their own lives! I am the oldest of my father’s four children which puts even more pressure on me to not ask any of them for help. I am used to being the one that they turn to for help. If you can help or know of any sites I can access that will give help, would you please email me with them. I am not a begger , just a single mom who is caught between a rock and a hard place, and finding it very hard to escape! Thank you for your time in reading this,
Ms. Holly

Thanks for posting this. I think that gratitude and contributing to society are the surprise contenders in the “race” for happiness.
