Desperate Need for Financial Assistance for my Family

I am in desperate need of help to provide for my family.
I am married and father to two young children. Our children are ages 2 & 3 1/2.
I was let go from my last job on June 8th, 2007. Other than a few odd jobs for a
couple of friends I have had no work. The job market has been so tough, I have
even been declined employement from companies paying low wages; because I had
been earning over 70K yr. I guess they figure I would move on if I had a better
opportunity which paid what I used to get. I am humble enough to work at any
honest job to provide for my family. I have repaired a friends deck and painted
his house. I have designed an excel spread sheet to handle a
friends/mothers-company inventory and sales tracking. My wife has gone back to
work full time, but has not been able to bring in more than $1,000.00 per month.
However, we do get childcare for our children where she works, which is a
tremendous blessing. We have been on Food Stamps, for the last 6 months.
It tears me up, but we have exhausted the resources of our family and friends.
We have gone to the community and our church for help. Now we seem to be at a
point where, unless God interceeds for us, we will not have enough to pay our
bills in December. By our budget we have a shortage after all money we will
have earned of $1,500.00. $900.00 of which is our rent. If our rent is late,
the management company tacks on an additional $90.00 which we of course cannot
afford either. It is my prayer that someone or several people together would be
able to assist us with these bills. I can provide more detail regarding the
other bills we are facing and the amounts of those bills.
Please, if you feel led to help us, pray about it.
