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.

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

Prayer for Change!

From a mother whose daughter was murdered comes this request.

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.

.

·        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
