Dear Pastor,

I hope you are well and in the best of health. This is my first time writing to you. I am having a problem and I would like to share it with you. I am married and I have five children, but only three of them are living with me now. I am a very ambitious person, but I have been fighting over the years to make something of myself and for my kids. There are some people who try to fight me at everything I do.

I borrowed a loan of $650,000 two years ago to buy a bus to give my husband to drive and help himself. I have a daughter who is mentally ill. My daughter and her relatives told a lie on my husband so that he would be arrested and he would get out of my life. I had to get a lawyer to represent him in court. It was very depressing for me and my children. It was nerve-wracking to see myself having to go to court with my husband for something he didn't do. I lost my job and everything is just messed up.

My husband is working, but we can hardly manage to send the children to school, pay rent, plus the other bills. The bank is calling me about the loan and I don't have any money to pay it. I had to sell the bus and use some of the money to pay the lawyer at the time. I am barely surviving now. I am living from hand to mouth.

Pastor, I am asking the assistance for the public to help me repay my loan. If there is anyone out there who can give me some clothes, I would appreciate it. My son is tall and slim and he is nine years old. The two girls are medium built and they are tall. They are twelve years old. I would be so grateful for this help.

Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you.

A.M.

Dear A.M.,

I would like to have a telephone conversation with you. I need to know more about your problem and I need also to speak to your husband. In the meantime, I will remember you in prayer. You may call my office and ask my assistant to speak to me. The numbers are 929- 1667-8.
