• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Urgent Help Needed

 :help:  We are trying to help a homeless family with 2 school aged children and a ill mother to get back on thier feet.  We are asking that any one who can please, help spread the word, and help with our fund raiser. Please send me a PM or Email for complete information Thank You.

 PS : I was surprised to learn so many people think they homeless people must have been bad people or on drugs or something to become homeless. So I will let you know about the family we are trying to help. The father was laid off when the company he worked for went out of business. The mother had an accident and left her with many dental problems, in which are causing her illness.
 
it is a stereotype to think homeless people must all be drug addicts, alcoholics and such. As you are learning, this is not always the came. Many are families down on their luck, unemployed, suffering from illness and the like. I do offer my prayers to this family, I know first hand how difficult it is just trying to get school supplies and such. I will tell you that God has really looked after us, as he always does. I do not know where you live but surely there are some resources there. Do you attend church somewhere and is this an option? Many churches have emergency funds available to help those who need it. If not, someone should atleast be able to find the husband a job somewhere. Help is available just try not to let Satan discourage you. God bless you for doing what you are doing. Even during times of trouble, you can still teach them about the love of Jesus. Sounds like you are trying, and I commend you for that.
