:groupray: :cry: I am writing cause latelly i have been tested in many ways. I am dealing with alot of closed door in my life and right now i don't know what to do.. I am on the verge of lossing my kids and my sanity.. I am siiting the children's hospital waiting for a sign from god.. I had to come here all the way from california for my daughter to get surgery.. She is 9 years old and has cancer. I am trying to keep from crying and keep strong for my kids.. I am stuck here in wilmington, delaware. A million miles away from home. My car blew up and my husband has been trying to find a way back home. I contacted so many churches and agencies... But many of the shut the door in my face and reffered me to a homeless shelter and my daughter is to sick to go there... I am trying to get the money together to get us home but it looks like i might spend the night in the day room.. I pray that somethimg happens.. So many people abuse the kindness of others that no one wants to lend out a helping hand.. Even the churches here are that way.. It's ashame. i was even crying to the chaplain here about my troubles and he prayed with me... I am so stressed and don't know where to turn.. Please god don't let me lose my faith and strength and my family all in one week.......

God bless you and your family.

Have you contacted the Red Cross? There is a Ronald McDonald House for family members of patients such as your daughter, and Wilmington also has several emergency shelters. If they are full, they might know of another place. They also might have ideas about car repairs.

Obviously you have access to online and a computer. Might I suggest you contact a local travel agent, ask about flying stand-by. Ask around about Frequent Flyer Miles... there are forums on which to post such things... people are more than willing to share their FFM for such emergencies. Try contacting the local military bases. It cannot hurt to ask these places for info on any available civilian seatings for medical emergencies and also FFM.

You will be in my prayers.

I can understand the pain you are going thru. I was at one point in my life living in my van with 2 of my small children after their father left us and had cleaned out all of our savings and ran up bills I could not pay. I felt that I was losing everything even my sanity. I in fact did lose custody of my children but a merciful God restored them to me ( it was 15 years later and my youngest child had never even met them).

I could at the time only see the darkness all around me but now I have a great testimony of Gods love. I have had many hard times in my life and in the end I hold fast to my confession of faith and remember:

For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Jer 29:11

I will lift you up in my prayers

Are you at duPont? Has the hospital's social workers been in contact with you? They should be able to provide you with a list or literature for local places willing to help.

Praying for you, your family and your daughter. :prayer:
