My son broke his ankle about 2 years ago and had to go through the county, it took  a year to get his surgery by that time his bone had collasped and was dead, they manage to save his foot although he can not run or do heavy equipment work anymore. He has had no income for the past 2 years and was a stay at home Dad for his daughter. He now has found out that he has serious back problems from putting all his weight on one leg and also that his ankle is broke again. His live in girlfriend kicked him out and he has no income, he is 30 years old, he started back at the county clinic today and they gave him a referral to see a specialist in the county hospital. I am just afraid it will take a long time again as Harris county moves real slow. They also gave him prescriptions today and even though he has no income he had to pay 15.00 for them I know that does not sound like a lot of money, but to someone that has no money it is an aweful lot. Does anyone out there have some knowledge or info on some programs that might be available to him or where he can get some better medical help?  Any and all info would be greatly appreciated, like I said before he had to wait a year before finaly getting surgey and if he could of got his foot operated on right away he would of been ok today but they really did not think they could even save the foot because it had all colasped and the tissues had died do to the long wait. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a friend, who could really use a lot of help. I help them all I can But I am talking major help. My friends husband is about 9 and had a massive stroke. They live in a small house that is very run down and really in need of a roof and some major plumbing. Her daughter lives there and has 2 kids and her husband is in jail. Her daughter works in a at a small store and gas station, does not really make much money and she has been helping them out. They have not received their benefits from SSI or the VA yet. My friend can not work because the stroke of her husband was massive and he is now blind in one eye and has loss of some memory and doctors say he is not to be left a lone. This house is really the only thing they have and it is small but really run down, If anyone knows of some place that could help them please let me know. all info is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for the prayers, well on 10/08/07 Liza's Mom passed away. I was at hospice that night and once again Liza was there alone and about 2 hours after I left the hospital her Mom went on to be with the Lord. Liza has no money, No job, No drivers license the only thing left from her mothers little social security ck was 213.00  Her mothers body was donated to science. when she arrived back at the apartment and her apartment manager found out, it was not even 24 hours later and the manager told her she was sorry about her MOM but she did know that she had to vacate the apartment by the first. she is really worried about where her life will go from here and where she will go. I will try to help her as much as I can because as you know from the first story God brought this to me. well if anyone has any ideas or knows of any resources please let me know. She is a wonderful lady and her love for her Mom was so unconditional, she is very smart. resources here in Texas are not plentiful and like I said before we do not have mass transportation in this town. Any help would be greatly appreciated and please pray for her for I believe that prayer is powerful.

Well  here is another update, Liza's mom went into hospice today, again still the only one I see there is Liza, she is a brave and a tuff girl, after this is over she has nothing, But she does have a lot of love that her mother gave her and showed her and hopefully somewhere down the line maybe she will be able to get her mothers poems published or perhaps her mothers novel that she once wrote. The problem is she has no one and even I do not type fast but that was her mothers wish hoping that someday she could get them published so that her daughter would never have to worry. If you remember her daughter is 38 years old and has never been married or really worked, the last time she dated or worked was most likely 10 years ago, as she had no one and did not know where to go for help so she just took care of her 83 year old mom all these years. I went to the hospital today and there she was still no complaining just staying by her mom till the very end. This is really going to be hard for her , so please keep her in your prayers she is a very strong girl and I know God will work a miracle for her.

For the past 2 weeks she has been in the hospital. Her daughter is still there right by her side and it seems like it is getting bad, they have ask the daughter to think about hospice but her mom says no and is still trying to fight because she does not want to leave her daughter alone as she knows her daughter will be homeless when this happens. Her dream and wish is that somehow and someway the 3000 poems she has written in her life would somehow get published and her daughter would have something. She has lost weight and is getting sicker and now there might be kidney failure, and still through this all, I have never heard the daughter talk about her worries as where will she go, how will she live and living here in this town with no mass transportation and her not knowing how to drive, still all she wants is to be by her mothers side and make sure her mother gets what she wants, Such a brave young lady. I know she could use a lot of financial help. Right now I am basically all she has and I really do not have a lot to offer. I do try to go see her in the hospital and talk now with her pretty much everyday as she calls me and lets me know what is going on. They also wanted to put her mother in a nursing home but they said they needed her whole little social security ck, her daughter does not want that nor does her mother as she knows that would leave her daughter homeless now.  Thank you all for your prayers, keep praying for I know God will make a way.

Thank you so much for your prayers. Yes this lady is really dedicated and she has stayed at the hospital and sleep there for the past 2 weeks and basically she will be homeless when this is over. I do what I can for her with the little bet of free time I have. Her love is so unconditional it is amazing. Once again thank you for your prayers.

Well this is an update on the 83 year old lady with brain cancer, she is bak in the hospital now with congestive heaart failure and being placed in hospice, I have watched her 38 year old daughter who has never been married or has not even worked in the past 10 years because she has dedicated her life to taking care of her Mom who only has social security, This girl will have nothing not even a place to live because where they live now is only for the elderly and she was able to stay there because she looked after her mom. I went to the hospital and it is amazing this girl will not leave her mothers side and yet she is faced with being homeless and where they live there is no transportation and she does not drive, I only hope that if I live that long that one of my children will be that faithful and unselfish. I do not know if anyone can help but if you can please do and most of all please pray that when the time comes God will give this girl the peace and help her to be strong, this will be a great lose for her.

I am a caring person who has a vision of someday having lots of money so that I can just give it away. There are a lot of people in need and sometimes their situation is really beyond there control and they need some help." If you have nothing to give someone, then perhaps the best you can give is your time. Once time is gone you can never get it back. Time is the one thing no one can ever make more of"
