If you,ve noticed, I haven't been on the forum for a while. Two weeks ago I was let go from my job of 16 years because of my worsening disability. We can't claim unemployment because of the disability, and Disability takes at least 6 mos. to get once you're application has been approved. We, like many, live week to week, and I still have 7 children in the home besides Darlene and me.
We continue to trust in the Lord.
I have applied for a job as a dispatcher for a nearby city police, fire, and ambulance. Please pray for this to open up.
Thank you, Bro. Ben

Bro. Ben, I'm so sorry to hear of this situation for you! Are there services and food stamps in your area to tide you over until the disability approval comes through? Praying!

Bro. Ben I am sorry to here this. Elena and I will pray for you and Darlene and your family. I do construction work and the company I work for has had two 10% pay cuts in the last 2 years and our health care insurance has doubled. It has been hard but the last two years have been two of the happiest of out 25. Don't doubt God's sovereignty at this time. He may be making a way to bless you in a way you may have not considered.
Praying James

Brother Ben,
We applied for immediate financial assistance though the Social Security Dept....
It is for folks who have no income but are pending there approval for Disability... they give you 6 months immediate approval... while you awaiting real approval... If you get approved, its all good, but if you get declined, you must pay it back.
But if you know you will be approved, then go down and ask for it.
I am sure you can collect financial aid, with 7 children, you should be able to get a decent amount along with food stamps.
We understand, we are a family living on disability below the poverty rate for a household of one.
But we will pray for you and your family.

Praying for you all. I have been thinking about your family quite a bit recently, and now I know why. I will try to write or call soon.
