I really think it's great to see someone like you who can really make a big differencs in a lot of ways not just with money or by lending a helping hand but by using your job as a good way to help others spread the word about poverty and hunger. And by being awear that your making a difference and understanding how good it makes you feel to know you can do something to make other people's live's better and at least a little easer then maybe you can see what I meant about most people not understanding their feelings. I would love to be able to do what you can do for people but at this time the ways I can help are somewhat limmited. I honestly don't have more then a fifth grade education I was home put in home school from 6th-9th grade by my Mother but only had the books I needed for the first year after that we couldn't afford them any more,really I didn't even use the ones I had for the 6th grade because my little brother wasn't old enough to go to school and my worked from 8:00A.M. to 6:00P.M. or later and my step Father worked nights and slept in the day so I watched my brother and it kind of just stayed that way my brother is still with me he lives with my husband, my daughter and me so I can make sure that he finishes school and makes something of his life. I passed my test each year I was in homeschool and made it through the 9th grade but before I started 10th grade I got pregnant with my daughter I was 15 and I had already lost a baby when I was 14 that I got pregnant with at the age of 13 by the same boy and since I had lost the first child I felt like I didn't even want to live I was always sad until I found out I was pregnant again then that was all that mattered to me so I didn't bother with school I had to be on bed rest but still had to watch my brother and catch the city bus to his school to pick him up in the afternoons because there was no one else to do it. But aside from that I didn't do anything else that I didn't have to do for fear of loosing another baby. My daughter that lived is now 8 years old and making A's and B's at school and I do everything I can to be involved in her education and to keep her excited about learning and I do the same with my brother and hope to some day be able to go back and finnish school myself and get my G.E.D. at presant though I am taking care of my family keeping a claen and neat house babysitting for a friend and working on the publication of my first book and starting my second one. And as I said before I feel I was put here to make a difference in this world and in many ways through helping others realize that they can do so much with even the smallest of gestures by finding the right words to say and the people to day them to. Through my wrighting and if my book sells then I have already made a coice to give at least half of it all to not only help existing chearities but to start some on my own that deel with ishes and cuncerns that seem to me at least to go largely usnoticed by most. I feel it would be easer for me to start them myself with my own money and then show people the results these organiations will have on these peoples way of life, their health, their food and water suplies, clothing schools, and then other programs for children in orphaniges all over the world so that instead of just one or two lucky children be picked out of the crowd to have a good life and family they can all live good lives and feel like they have a family even the ones that get left behind. Along with many other ideas I have to help those in need and to help others to understand the need for help in this world and that it's in their power to fix the problems that we face the power lies inside of us all, it's there waether we know it or not and for each one of us that realizes the real maening of HUMANITY that understands that we can make a difference if we just take a little time and effort, a little love and compashion and maybe some money mixed together and passed out by everyone that has it to everyone that needs it we would begin to see the results almost right away. I just want to see this world the way it should be before I die. Thanks and God Bless you to everyone that cares and helps out in anyway from spreading the word to others, to the people that get right in the middle of it all and do everything they can everyday to make other's live's as good as their own. For those that walk in the light of God and do his work for the sake of another are blessed in everything they do because we're suposed to help each other. Be as one with love for all, if we stand together then none will fall. We can not do this by ourselves, standing alone we all will fail. The only way to make it through is for you to stand by me and I'll stand by you, if we all stand together then no one is lost we can't leave anyone behind no matter the cost.

Since I was a child I've wanted to help in every way I can to make this world a better place to live for everyone. When I was a kid I got $20.00 every two weeks and I would use $12.00 of it each time to sponcer two children from over seas. I wasn't told or made to do this I just saw something about it on TV one day and knew right away that I needed to help them. I felt like it was the right thing to do before, that I had just waisted the money on candy and toys and $8.00 every two weeks was still planty for me to do that with. But not everybody understands their feelings the same way, and with the world the way it is today where most people even the children that are the future of this world are taught that it's more important if you have money to through around that you use it to buy things that show off your money and buy things you really don't need then it is to do the right thing with it. And I think that if a lot people that have money were to realize that the emptiness,sadness and sometimes lonliness they feel which sends a lot of them to counciling in search of the root of their problem wasn't caused by their Mother or Father or anything like that. More often then not I think it's them misunderstanding their Souls need to do whats right. You see I feel that everyone is meant to help in some way to make this world a little better but weather or not they choose to is up to them. And I think that people that are blessed with a lot of money were given that money not to blow it all on needless things I think they have an extra task or test to take to see if given the chance will we do the right thing or will we let greed and selfishness will take the money and run? And since these people don't understand whats causing them to feel the way they do they don't know that fixing the problem is as ease as helping people that don't have the means to help themselves. Or that seeing the thanks and happiness in their eyes would make them feel better then they ever thought they could. And all the money they were paying for counciling could then be used to help even more people. And I believe that aside from being the best Mother and Wife I can be the reason I'm in this life the reason I am who I am and think and feel the way I do is to open peoples eyes, hearts and minds to the problems that we face and of the best ways to solve them. And I pray everyday for God to help me do the best I can to make the right moves and say the right thnigs to the right people. I am in the process of publishing a book of poetry that I feel will help me with this and I currently have some of them as well as others that will be part of my next book on the internet at poetry.com that I hope will be read by at least a few people and maybe make at least a small difference now. I want to say before I end this comment that I don't want anyone to take anything I've said the wrong way I'm not telling anyone that they must believe or do anything that I say I only saw a chance to express myself and what I believe and took it. All I want is for everyone to have a chance at a happy life so that no one has to go hungry or be cold or sick or without things they need or be alone and scared if there is a way that they don't have to. I would gladly give my life if it would save the rest of of the world, and please don't mistake me for someone looking for fame I'm not asking for that ether I don't want fame the last thing I want is to be confused with something like that I just want to help and to help others want to help and I hope this comment will assist me in this matter.
