I've set up some goals for myself for the coming year.
-To get my license back, I let them go dead (crazy on my part).
-Get my health back on track.
-Get a job that I'm able to perform, enjoy, and one that fulfills me.
Those are my main goals for 2010. I will be working hard to achieve each one individually. I spent a couple years feeling really sorry for myself, because of my health etc. I've realized through talks with friends and people who love me, just how much I have to offer to the world. I've been letting myself down. I'm very artistic and outgoing, and have been letting all this medical stuff control me. I'm taking a stand this New Year and getting my life back.
I want to be able to give back in bigger ways this year, as well. Last year was a doozy and if it weren't for some loving, compassionate, caring, understanding and generous people, I don't know what I would have done.
I look forward to reaching for new goals this >>>
Description: About 5 years ago my Drivers License expired, because I didn't have all my
identification documents that were needed at the time. Eventually, I bought all of them
and when we moved to Virginia 2 years ago to care for my inlaws, those documents were
misplaced. I need a DL or State ID in order to work. I also just enrolled into college
to get a Digital Design Diploma, and need to provide a valid ID, the state ID I currently
have, went dead in April. I need to get a Birth Certificate, Marriage License and Divorce
Papers from my ex-husband, as well as, marriage license to my husband now. I have to show
all my name changes and why my name changed over the years. Any help with paying to get
these documents would help in me two ways. I can't obtain work without a valid Id,
and I need it for school. Also, I really need a Driver's License.
My progress: At this time, I have not made any progress getting these documents, I just haven't
had the extra money to obtain them.
This is a one time only expense assistance request for a family of 2 adults & 3 children
My message:Any help with this would be gratefully accepted.
Thank you, Lois
Supporting Documentation: Lois has the following documentation
Do you qualify for any additional help?: No, there are no agencies who help with payment for identification documents.
What local/other agencies have you contacted?: I have asked a few friends and some churches for help, but they don't help with this.
Did you get denial letters? (if so are they attached to your request?): No, I did not receive any denial letters.
What other sources of income do you or your family receive?: At this time, we have no sources of income. My husband was laid off about a month ago, and his income was the only income coming in.
Description: My daughter means the world to me, but lives in another state. She will be graduating at the end of May, and I want to make sure I am there. She is my oldest, and the first of my children to graduate. I want so badly to make sure I am there to watch her on one of the happiest and most rewarding days of her life. I know if I do not make a wish for this, this may not happen. I am wishing for enough money to get a round-trip bus ticket, motel room for 2 days, and for food while there. Any help in making this wish come true for her and me, will be gratefully accepted and so appreciated. I’m really not sure how much this will cost, so I wasn’t completely sure how much to request. Thank you to everyone who may donate to help me make this happen for us both.
Huggles, Lois

Why? The potential long term impact..
The long-term impact is that my daughter will
be graduating, and I know she would be hurt if
I wasn’t there for her. Realistically, this
will not stop her from working toward her
dreams, but not being there would have a
negative impact on her.
