  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello all, I do not know where to start, but I need help, and every extra prayer would be so very appreciated. I am a young single mother of a beautiful 8 year old daughter. Her father does not contribute despite efforts..I struggle with lupus and other health issues and have recently been hospitalized, they have just told me its now affecting my kidneys and causing renal failure. I cannot afford my prescriptions I desperately need to start taking that Ive just been prescribed, as already things are so bad we are out of propane and snuggling in the bedroom with a space heater, I have no idea how I am going to pay the electric bill this month much less the next trip to the grocery store, and of course the timing of all this is terrible because Christmas is fast approaching. I hate feeling like I might seem like I am feeling sorry for myself, if anything I feel sorry for my daughter, I just have never been in a situation like this where I feel if I didnt have my faith that depression could very easily swallow me whole. Thank you so much in advance for listening without judging and any positive thoughts and prayers, God bless

Yes, I was on Medicaid, got dropped when time to re-enroll rolled around and the caseworker who did my phone interview was just horrible, since I havent been able to get on disability yet but am still unable to work, I am in a very uncool limbo, she dropped me for not meeting work requirements, so I am now in the process of just reapplying and hoping to connect a more understanding government worker..

Praying for you sister Mary Kate and your dear young daughter.

May I ask if you are in a church and if they have a ministry to help you in your time of need. And if you don’t have a church is there anything we can do to assist you to find one?

Whats you doctor say about this? I know people who get free medical care. They are poor. If thats you then you should hire an attorney. There are lawyers that will fight for your disability claim, and perhaps they can help you get health care too.

Hi there, and thank you so much for your kind words. I was just explaining to someone else who asked that my church really only handles the town food bank, which I can take advantage of once a month, and that I did humble myself and go around to the other local churches last week in fact, in a (increasingly frequent)moment of desperation...I will say this is a rural area and the churches really could do nothing but sympathize and try to help point me in other directions(that ive already been or am in the process of being in)i sure wish i could find something more immediate, having to wait for interviews, etc when Im having an anxiety attack just waking up in the morning is not very easy to deal with! Thank you again for your concern and kind words ♡

I am wondering about the child's father. He needs to be helping out financially. The law requires that. I pray you will get any legal and social work help you need, and for miracles so that all turn out well for you and your little girl.
