The difference between a helping hand and an outstretched palm is a twist of the wrist. ~Laurence Leamer
My Purpose
Well let see, I'm a 39 year old single mother raising two wonderful daughters. I work full time and love my job! I am such a people person and I love to help others. I have volunteered in soup kitchens, local schools, our County animal shelter and many other non-profit orginations. I'm a very out-going, straight-forward, don't mind to get my hands dirty kind of person. I try to always show understanding, support and encouragement to others, I try always to be warm and kind hearted believing the best in everyone. I tend to find I am always there to lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on. I like many struggle week to week trying to make ends meet. I recieve absolutely, positively, unfortunately no child support. My ex can't seem to be located and I believe he likes it that way. It saddens me though when my girls ask why? Sometimes it is hard being two parents in one. I do the very best I can. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask away....

Nanette's Request
You have a lifetime to work, but children are only young once.~Polish
Proverb
Description: It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.
With this said, I can only be honest and say I struggle and struggle. I try so hard to raise my children with good morals and values in a world that is so crazy sometimes. I work and love my job, but my rent just went up and my income didn't. Unfortunately I receive not a dime of child support. My ex is nowhere to be found. My daughters are my life and I want the best for them so when things get rough I manage to keep myself upbeat for them. Here it is already the beginning of Spring and Easter is right around the corner, do I have anything extra for goodies for my kiddies..Nope! I don't even have extra for food most months...this happens to be one of them months. I just want to be able to get over this hurdle and fill my fridge, chan..

Potentially the long-term affects of my

sufficiency while working on obtaining child
support.It would help relieve some of the
daily stressors and afford me to maintain
stability with my children’s daily needs.
