Urgent Prayer Requests Needed


Posted: Jul 13, 2011

I am being evicted because of the fact that I had not been able to pay my rent for three months. I had a wonderful job that paid well and paid weekly and we lost the contract and of course, like many on here know, it takes time and patience to be able to obtain other employment. I was able to find a job after about a 2-3 week search, however, I found out that the company did not pay for the headers and footers and of course, they required 125 lines per hour for straight typing. Many people say that line requirement should be easy to reach; however, I was born with spascitiy on my right side and am getting to the age as well (mid-50s), where the arthritis is beginning to kick in. I was getting very mad and frustrated (more so at myself) than anything over the fact that I would type 20-25 reports and only have 800 or so lines. I live in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area and it is sooo expensive here. Part of this is of my own making, because 2 weeks ago Thursday, I sent an email to the company after receiving 2 written warnings that I was not meeting the required production of 125 lph after being reassured by my supervisor, not to worry about it. This was also a system that utilized a timer, and I have never had to deal with anything like that. I received an email back from the HR director the next day, stating that they would consider this my resignation because they felt "I was unhappy." -- Not the case at all -- I just have been, I believe suffering from major burnout in addition to what I next describe. On top of that, my boyfried (who does not live with me, but will occasionally help with expenses), was diagnosed with COPD in January. He ended up back in the hospital in June and this time was diagnosed with CHF. His employer terminated him last week due to his medical conditon and not being able to fullfill some of the duties outlined on his job description so of course, he now has his own set of problems to deal with and at age 62, he will have a hard time finding new employment, and according to what his doctor has told him, his disablity is not high enough to qualify for full-term disability benefits at this time if any. I am sooo afraid of being a bag lady. I cannot move in with the BF as he is in a roommate situation and I also have a small parrot so I hope you can understand where I am coming from. I have LITERALLY turned to every agency that I can think of for assistance, but even with the rent and trying to get help there, the back rent had to be paid and then they would help you with one month. I'm in the process of applying ANYWHERE that I can think of, but time is running short for me. A year ago, I was not in this position at all and things have gone to "heck in a handbasket" in a short time. I am sorry for this being so long, but I need all the prayers I can get right now, for my sanity, and to help guide me in making the right decision. Thank you.;

Keeping you in prayers - but by grace go I

I understand how quickly things can change and you suddenly find yourself in this dark place. I am so very sorry for this hard time in your life. I was in a position very much like yours in 1999. In fact, I had come to a calm acceptance that I would be living out of my car, had thought out what I would load into it, was ready to walk away from anything that didn't fit in it.

I prayed for a miracle and got several. I was blessed by people whom I never would have thought would have helped me. I will pray that your angels will find you and lift you through this time to a better place. Do you have a friend you can stay with if you needed it? File for food stamps if you think you qualify because in emergenices they rush the application and maybe you could get some relief soon. Also apply for TANF (temporary aid to needy families) but you have to have almost no assets, but maybe they could direct you to job training/assistance.

You're not alone and have my prayers.

I could so easily be in your shoes; as a matter of fact I should be, if it were not for the kindness of others. I am praying for you too. I don't have much but I could help a little bit.

Good morning, I really need prayer.  I've been an MT for about 20 years.  Most of it was spent transcribing in-house, with a fair amount of experience with ESL dictators. My speciality was always operative notes, and I miss them!  I went on to work for Spheris for one year and MedQuist for three before we lost our home. I've been working for a private psych hospital for nearly 5 years.  It's been a good job, except for feeling like I'm on a different plan ...
