Hey, John,  You are almost making me cry man. I Love you and your wife.  What happened??  You were basically the best friend and one of the very, very few people who sent replies back to me on Yahoo. I just found something on the Internet that may help your wife overcome her cancer.  I have been looking for that answer for a very long time and now that I think I have the answer, you have diserted me.  Oh John, what have I done wrong??  Was it the fact that I sent that e-mail about Obama??  I have e-mailed you trying my best to pacify you.  I agree that Obama has made some bad moves, but all of us have at one time or another.  

TO me my friendship with you was important.  Why have you deserted me??  I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!  

To me the only reason I went and came to this site was because I want to influence people for GOOD and to try and help people to see life the way I see life - to get over their lonliness or their self centeredness, and to help them in any way I can to help them in this life do it will be easier for them or you to come back to God when we leave this existence here on earth.  For me this time is a period of testing, building relationships that can and will be eternal.  I have been so self centered in my life that All I could think about was me and what I I wanted, and now I have tried to turn my life around and to do whatever God wants me to do.  I had a few days when I was not willing to try and bring souls to Jesus Christ.  But I am back on that band wagon and I have helped 2 of my closest friends here on earth to get to a medical Doctor so they could live a better life hopefully.  Both of them were homeless like me.  Both of them and me were given a chance to survive and are on a special program for the homeless.  Something you think and feel is wrong.  Or so you came across to me that you fought to keep this country from socialism.  Well if I had not been on this program I would still be homeless and penniless too. I have tried very hard to keep my head above discouragement, heartache and lonliness.  Wally gave up on a job, because they used him for anything and everything and refused to raise his income or to make it profitable for us to have our own house or to even have a ride to work that did not cost an arm and a leg.  There were people that lived close to us, but refused to give Wally a ride to work, or home and we spent almost all his income on just getting him transportation.  When I finally decided that we would not use a personal ride of a taxi to and from work, I had him take the bus and train and a taxi to get to and from work.  Wally was worn out and discouraged.  He spent an hour and a half going one way to work, until he couldn't do much when he was home, except rest.  We had a home- a trailer we thought we were buying.  It was beautiful wall to wall cupboard space in the kitchen.  It was BEAUTIFUl and Wally quit his job and thought he had a job before he quit.  Well the job was on the computer and it never paid one penny.  Wally applied for jobs, and Walmart was interviewing him and we thought Wally was going to finally have a paying job.  And it was just a mile away from home.  Well he didn't do as they asked on one small thing and Walmart told him he had lost the job and from then on we were in a tailspin.  I called the cable company to cancil with them.  They kept on billing us and it wasn't just the monthly rate.  They took money out of our account over and over and over again.  I basically lost my bank account and we ended up losing our home and the sherriff came three times to leasve a warant for us to show up at court and we lost our trailer and we went into debt that I could not find a way out.  I prayed for help, over and over I prayed and finally God gave me an answer and we moved back to Atlanta.  Well we thought we would make it, but then the landlord who we trusted, gave our place back to the bank , because he did not have enough money to pay the mortgage when his bank doubled the price on how much he had to pay them.  He told us that he was going to have to give up the other properties across from us.  Well we did not know that he had returned our apartment building back to the bank too.  So when we got a notice in our mailbox telling us we had to vacate the premises, we did not or rather I did not really take it seriously.  We thought it was only the people across from us and that there was some mistake.  When I finally realized we were going to have to move and tried to contact the person who had left the flyer in my box, he never returned my call.  I kept trying to reach him and no luck.  He was on vacation is what he said when I finally reached him.So we made arrangements to move again.  We got moved out and we found out that because I had not contacted the bank that had given us the eviction notice soon enough we were forced to move and the compensation they had promised to help us move, we were denied.  Woe was me and my husband. The realeter who I had not been able to reach, promised to pay me 1/2 of the amount I had been promised to get if I moved out. Well we made that move and Wally stayed couped up in the apartment because he was too scared he would fall and there was no railing for him to hold on to to get up the first flight of stairs.  We were paying half of my monthly income for the apartment. that we had moved out of and only got the rent reduced because the new landlord was encouraged by his go between to let us stay at a lower rate.  But it was winter and we had no money to pay for the gas that would heat the apartment.  We tried to get it turned on, but something went wrong and we never got the gas turned on.

Well God intervened luckily again. A friend of mine gave me a number of her sister who was working in a program where we could get our rent at a rate based on our income.  Now i WAS ON DISABILITY but one problem we did not have any money to move.  We deserted our home again.  Lucky for me the Elders Quarum President said he would put the money down for the truck, but I would have to pay him back.  Well there was not enough money to pay a deposit on the electricity, the electricity bill, rent and deposit and first payment on the telephone.  Well luckily I had kept up with that man who had promised the money to me, I told him of my problem and he promised to pay one half of the amount I had been promised by the bank out of his own pocket, or so he said.  Well, by getting some help from my sister I got all the bills paid.  Well now we are in a community that is close to a pharmacy and our bank and a grocery store.  We are stuck here, because my money, almost half of it has ended as of this month. And our landlord has changed here and the new one isn't a bad person, but she doesn't show favoritism to Wally as the last manager did.  Wally since he is an EMT and a volunteer Fireman, helped our landlord out and as a result we got special privileges.  She even was going to decrease our rent.  Why??  Because Wally used to sit at the window here that overlooks the office and he would do things like look out for fire trucks coming here or ambulances.  If he detected smoke he would call the fire department and the fire department would come out to see what the problem was.  A man was stabbed in his jugular artery and Wally helped out so that  the man arrived at the hospital and was still alive and got to come back home.  Plus he was Secretary of the Neighborhood Watch too.  When the President  moved out of the complex, Wally was the one who became unofficially the President of the Neighborhood Watch.  Well he did other things to be of value to that Property Manager.  He helped with the After School Program arranging rides and field trips and Grants so the program could keep going.  So as you can see even though Wally did not have a job, he made himself an asset to our Apartment Community.  Now that Manager was fired and another has taken her place who doesn't  know his past history.    

Well my income as i said has gone down to about 1/2 of what it was.  This month my money ran out.  Well I paid my Tithing on my earnings as I usually did, and put a little bit down for helping others.  Well guess what??  Wally finally got a paying job.  It is not alot of money, but it will cover for what I lost and a little more.  Plus a good friend when I told her that my money was running out promised to get my husband a Monthly Marta Card.  So things are going to work out for us again.

What i am trying to show and tell you is that not all the people that Obama has helped are unworthy to get help.  So you see my friend, I am glad that Obama is there to help the underdog.  

Love,Marylou
