Hello Aidpage Friends. I've found a resouce that a lady in our congregation found helpful. Millionairesmoney.com. It is the late Percy Ross' website. They provided her with a 500.00 gift card to Walmart for school clothes. There is an application protocol, but if you follow it success is good! As for an update on jaybirds family: please see it posted on my blog. Pastor Bill

Hello fine Aidpage friends! I was wondering if any of the single Moms here have tried the website millionairesmoney.com. I know some people who got a 500.00 gift card to Walmart from them for school clothes! There is an application protocol, but the lady I know said it only took a month to receive it. Update on jaybird2010s family: the church raised a little money to get them into a nice 3 bedroom mobile home near the church. Unfortunately, we are unable to receive any money for the burial and funeral. The state has no funding for this situation. And the only child that can receive the social security is his youngest child, since the older 2 were his step children. God is good and it is better than nothing. Thank you for all your kind words. I will continue to post resources as they are brought to my attention. Thank you all. Pastor Bill

In response to Ericas comment. Jay did not starve to death. He died from the cancer. We brought him meals and washed his clothes and let him shower. He wouldn't accept imposing on people by staying at their homes. Those are his words, not mine. The state cut off his medicaid and he didn't ever go back for treatment. The tumor became larger in his esophagus, and basically choked him to death. But things were bad for him. Especially the states refusal to help him. The DHS caseworker treated him and his family terrible, denying every application. And as sick as he was, she told him if he wanted a handout from the state, he would have to get a 40 hour a week job. It was a nightmare for him He tried to get help everywhere and people just didn't care. What a travesty

To Friends helping friends, I talked with Jay quite a bit, shared a fire and a meal at his campsite. Jay was a proud man. But he never came off as someone who thought people were out to get him. Many of the places that were given to him to contact, were contacted by me. He was NOT lying to you when he told you folks that these places wouldn't help him. The simple fact is that many of them are out of funding. The early bird gets the worm here. If you are not privy to when funding comes in, then it's usually gone in a day. I believe that Jay is with Jesus. Even though he often questioned his faith in his final days,he was solid. I say shame on the few wealthy folks in our community,especially those that he had done work for. They couldve helped him. And he couldve had his family had they done so. They are devestated that he died alone out there in that little tent. But we can all take comfort that he was born again. And that right until the end he was trying to find a way to find a home. His youngest, Brett is only 6. He will miss his father very much. Please pray for this family! I have seen prayers answered many times!

Hello Aidpage Friends. I'm Pastor Bill. A friend of mine posted his story on here a few months ago. He and his family became homeless when he was ill with esophageal cancer. His wife and kids went to live in a shelter and he lived in a tent in the woods. His user name on this medium was jaybird2010us. He passed away from his disease two weeks ago. One of our deacons found his body in his tent. This is such a shame. I'm ashamed that we couldn't help more. Maybe if we had helped him and his family stay in their home, he would have still had the insurance and healthcare and still be among us. He tried very hard to get help and was ignored and turned away by every church, charity and government agency. He was not a bum. He was a decent,hardworking man, who loved his wife and children very much. At this time I am very ashamed of what Americans have become. Selfish, greedy and uncaring people. Why didn't good people like this get the help they needed. He never even said goodbye to his family. We had his funeral here at the church last week. The church paid for this and actually had to borrow to do so. Now I'm trying to raise a few thousand dollars to help get his family out of the shelter and into a home. If anyone is interested in helping to facilitate this, you can contact me at reverendbill45@aol.com. I will give you his wifes information and where to mail any donation to. Thank You all and may God richly bless your lives. Pastor Bill
