    Are there Angels in America? I have often wondered that myself. Reading this persons web page really made me cry..

    PASS THIS ON WITH YOUR PRAYERS...............


    "All of my life I have wanted nothing more then to be accepted somewhere in this world and have a chance to be someone. I never graduated from high school. But now I am into my 30's and I have a son to try and take care of. I don't have a drivers license. I was always afraid to drive, but now I want to try but there is not a soul in the world that will help. I pray everyday that someone will come along that genuinely cares. Someone to be a mentor and help me try to get my life on track. To give me a job and let me learn everything from the bottom up, without being looked down apon like a worthless nothing. Is there anyone out in the world that would take someone under their wing? Give someone a home, and a job, and a future to be someone ? I really do wonder if there are angels in America. "


    http://www.myspace.com/we_need_a_miracle is where that quote came from

    Did not make me cry. 30 years old and can't figure it out? What has him/her been doing the past 15 years? "I am a victim-help me". I say help yourself. Are you not worth it? Work, make friends, learn, love. This plea sounds like a scam, but if its not(and not to be cruel) we all make our own beds and thereby sleep in it. Must be something wrong with this person and there are social agencies for help.
    Note: When I was on the road many years back I learned a true maxim: most homeless who claim helplessness are that way because of their own free will behavior choices. Many have spent their lives burning bridges with family, job opportunities, and their own body's tolerance.I see them everyday. P.s "everybody is somebody" and you don't need acceptance from others to accept yourself. Be a beautiful person and people will take notice-no reason why this person can't have friends unless they are just not friendly.

    hi rainbow dreamer. it sounds like this person needs some career guidence and maybe a support group and some therapy. i have been there, done that. raised three kids alone for over 20 years by myself. took me quit a while to get my life together. i didn't have a family to support me emotionally. but i took advantage of many social programs, went back to school through vocation rehabilitation (after being hit by a drunk driver), got my degree (on crutches at first) worked my butt off and became a counselor. sometimes we just need a helping hand, but we have to help ourselves first. sounds like this person's self esteem is very low and if they haven't been encouraged by family, friends, ect, sometimes it's hard to find your way. they will be in my prayers.

    i think its a bit harsh to say 'do it yourself' there are people in the world that have so much love in their heart and take people on, my mum is one of those people that was doing all herself and ive seen it first hand and what it does to people living life on their own. she does battle through but is one of those people affraid to ask for help. you in an amazing position by asking for help. things will get better for you and anyone that has the power to reach out their hand.

    Just my 2 cents- I agree with ya'll. I checked out that site. I even have a spot on that my space. Looks really illegitimate to me, mostly because she doesn't have any blogs on that site.

    I myself started out in this worldly world with little to no support and had to figure out how to make it. I'm glad some of ya'll are critical about that post, as I was (but too chicken to speak up for afraid to look too critical)...

    Another thing, if she is legit. than why hasn't she explanation as to why she isn't getting any assistance from- agencies or even the father or the father's family, etc.
