Reaching out to Care2 members in help April 23, 2006 3:20 PM

I believe we can us this thread to spotlight people on care2 that are in need of help. I know that none of us can do much, but sometimes a kind word, prayers, advice or a dollar or 2 can  help turn despair into hope.

With that said, what caused me to start this thread is the plight of a young woman Whose blog I read today. I contacted her and I believe she is sincere. Here is the blog that touched me.

  Message: Can you help I need groceries  



Forgive my intrusion But I am in a bind and need some help. Due to my sisters death we had a 28 hour paycheck this week, I had to pay our overdue mortgage payment, Leaving me broke. I have no groceries to get us through until next friday. If there is anyone willing to help I would be ever grateful. I have a  15 year old son an 18 year old pregnant daughter and a 4 year old daughter. For a total of 5  hungry people in my home. I have a paypal account or will give you my address if you will please email wjlindsay@neo.rr.com   I will  provide proof of the short pay and my sisters death to anyone that wishes to see it. Thanks for reading. Wilma

Here is the link to the Blog.

http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/82014

If you can think of any way to help, please contact Wilma, or if you need info on how to contact her  PM me.

If you find other care2 members that are in need of our support, prayers etc. add a post about them here.

I read your post and it touched my heart-as muslims we are to help each other-and others who are not muslims...it is part of our five pillars as you know, and i think its a wonderful idea you have-to reach out to others in need anyway we can here at care2....i would like to help, but must await for my check on the first- i know its past the deadline upon which she needs but perhaps it will help her with something else in the near future...please contact me so we can further discuss this as i dont have paypal but would like to send something, somehow...

love, your sista in the deen, A'isha

vicinity of NYC, I'm cautious about sending or giving cash.  (Not that I have much to give.)  Instead, I've spent much of my free time as an adult, learning about, and teaching young folk the various ways to make a positive impact in a community, and with various help organizations.  There are so many reputable help organizations out there to help people.  Sadly, there is never enough of them.  As well of importance, many don't know what's available to give them assistance, during hard times.  [report anonymous abuse]  [ accepted]

Very true Calm N. that is the sad part people that need the resouces are almost always not aware of what is available,while people who misuse are aware of every possible source.  [ send green star]

Yes.  Many times the are so down trodden in having lost hope, they must be approached gently, so as not to flinch in their pain.  Then almost quite literally, taken by the hand and led to the places that can help.  The human touch can be so very powerful, in so many ways and means.  However, for some at that level of disconnection, touch can literally be painful, as well.  [report anonymous abuse]  [ accepted]

Prayer for Change June 24, 2006 4:48 PM

Prayer for Change!

 

From a mother whose daughter was murdered comes this request.

 

Please Pray

 

That one person, known to the God of Life, has their heart changed and is diverted from a violent action against another person.

You do not need to know for whom you are praying,

as God knows that person.

.

We know that only Prayer has the power:-

·        To transform evil into goodness.

·        To change a person’s heart.

·        To save another family’s suffering.

·       

 

 

Lord

only you have the power to change people.

Please transform that person known only to you,

to turn them away from violence,

to change their hatred into love,

Lauren is asking for people to vote on her behalf, if she is to win, inshallah, it will generate $100 towards her families moving costs which she needs all the help she can get.

Thank you, Zahra
