Somedays, I Wish I Was a Drinker. #fb

Just read the e-mail and give me help.

Hi,
 Im sorry i took so long but we actually met about a month ago.
I was the one girl who was gonna be taken off the GAIN program due
to my child passing away not to long. My name is xxxxxxx?!
 I hope you do remember. I was placed to tears and remember you being so nice and understanding. I do hope everything is going well with the pregnancy.  I wish you all the joy and happiness. 
  Anyways I was replying as you had said to email you on what is taking place. 
So far the services from the state have ended for me and unfortunately the place I was staying at is forcing me to move. The bad part is that my husband and I were focusing on school and havent got jobs. My previous job was available to me but is only maybe 3-5 hours a week
and deals with kids. They told me to take my time until i have healed from the loss of my own.
  But even so, that job wouldnt be able to provide for a new apartment. So we are praying that
the Lord give us some job or help as  we seem to be headed towards being homeless.
   I also have really bad health at present. My kidneys and such are failing on me due in part to my inability to eat at times as we do not have enough all the time.
   I dont know if there is anything you can do. I dont want to just dump this on you. But perhaps you know things that could help. I went to the MediCal place for low income housing but they rejected me. I was going to try and go again. They had said that they couldnt help unless i was already moved out. It was a big mess.
   Im sorry again for putting my life on you
May God bless and enrich you though, for all you do for not only me but for others.

Okay people, I am open to suggestions. How do I help her?

I am telling her to apply for GR (General Relief)  and take in an eviction notice – obviously she and her husband need to work – but finding jobs is super scarce right now.  With the loss of her child, I don’t know if she has MediCal to cove r  price of therapy so I am giving her information about the Los Angeles County Dept of Mental Health. I am going to find out where her skill sets are, invite her to a job fair, point her to employment agencies – and hope. Lots of Hope.

Baby Update Nov 4th #fb

DC and I saw the Dr yesterday and the baby is great! Heartbeat is in the 150′s and Baby Bump is 29 Centimeters.

Last night was the first night of counting baby kicks and I was supposed to see how long – in a period of 2 hours  -it took the baby to kick 10 times. Ummm, it took 3 minutes. (even without caffeine).

Still no name, no gender, and no future address for the baby, but we have 3 more months… Jackie does NOT like the nae Darla . I do, it reminds me of The Little rascals and this one uncle of mine who calls everyone Darlin’.

I am still hung up on having a name with the Initials of D, C, or R.

I had a great-grandfather named Charles (it is is gavel I used as Honored Queen in IOJD),

a Grandfather and Uncle name Robert – and the baby will have an Aunt Roberta . .. and seriously – a little kid (boy or girl) named Robbie? I think it is cute – then there is also my FAVORITE name of all time “Bob” – what?! It is fun to say! And, have you ever met a Bob you did not love? See, me neither. Of course, for you Sesame Street fans, it also puts Bert onto the field.

DC’s name is actually Donald Charles – but I have been told by a million people I can not name a baby Donald.

Jax is teasing me,  she says Dra Cula is a DC name, as is Diet Coke

Do you have suggestions?

Bill 18-1059 DC Homeless Bill sucks

It is snowing and cold and you have nowhere to go. You have lost your I.D. and all you want is a warm place to sleep.

Well, don’t try this in Washington DC if 18-1059 passes. Only those who can prove they were residents before becoming homeless will be allowed into shelters. (so, run back into your burning home to get your Photo ID and a utility bill?!?)

If you have children with you – your family may have to share a room with 18 other families; effectively your kids and you will be sleeping head to toe with strangers – but only if you have ID. So, before you run away with your kids from a Domestic Abuse situation, be sure to take proof of where you lived and a Police Report (although this may violate your civil rights), proof of legal residency (again, a possible civil rights violation), and translator if you need it.

—————-

I get it, there are not a lot of services and residents in the area should be the priority among those getting served. Can you think of a better way?
