I hope I do not get banned but i am going to take a leap here and risk being completely put down. I'm pregnant (attached a pic of my ultrasound, everything got so scary and real. It was my first time hearing the heart beat.)and recently homeless. Currently have nowhere to rest my head and although I do start work next week, I don't have anything to my name until then. I have tried finding daily paying jobs, tried washing cars for donations.. but then I started bleeding clots and was told my pregnancy was high risk, so that went out the picture. I am completely torn down and on the edge. I tried my local homeless shelter and they said they were at full capacity. I tried a home for pregnant women, they said I had to wait 2 weeks to even being assesed. I did call 211, they did provide contact for resources.. I have tried it all.m I am lucky enough that I was able to get food from a charity, that helped a lot. But I'm lost you guys. I know I'm not explaining everything, I'm just so exhausted, I don't have the energy to explain myself any further. No I am not on drugs, no I am not lazy. No I was not being irresponsible when I got pregnant. I didn't just randomly stop working, I had health issues but was told by disability if I planned to work again one day I would not be approved because it was not long term. I take accountability for my current position, I could have done some things differently.. but I am here now and need help. If anyone can find it in their heart to Pray for me and ask God for his provision at the time

Please I'm on the last bit of my strength to keep going. If you want to tell me to screw myself, you can. If you want to add to my pity party and make me feel worse about myself, you can. But I hope you don't.. Thank you if you read this through.. I wish you all the best


Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I have removed portion of this post that asks for financial assistance because CyB is a discussion forum and we do not allow solicitation as per our forum rules. However, that does not mean that we cannot pray for this young woman so I am asking for our members to pray for her needs accordingly. She may need a home to live in and some baby stuff and an advocate to support with the social welfare system to get her on the right benefits. Thank you and God Bless - Angelina Admin

Both of you need glasses. The sonogram was taken July 29th (upper right-hand corner). The August 21, 1996 date is most likely Ms. Barb's birthday (am I right, BarbG?), which most health-care institutions use as an ID check. (I've had quite a bit of interaction with medical institutions in the past year.)

Now, I'm going before the Throne in prayer for BarbG and her unborn child. Starting out with a safe place to stay and a secure food supply. Would anybody like to join me?
haha No i had it right. 7/29/24 is 7/24 <-- (mo and yr)
I was hoping she would reply to me before I just sent her away with a prayer.

Try the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities. They might be able to refer you or perhaps give you a little money.

It sound like you are in a really bad place @barbg003. With no family support these next few months will be very difficult for you so my suggestion is that you find a church fellowship that is willing to help you with anything you need.

Hello sister.

No is judging you or criticizing you.

My advice.
Pray to Jesus.
Repent
Ask for help, and mercy.

Next.
If you have health insurance.

Go to mental health clinic.
They have Case worker. Can help you. They may have homeless department to help you.

If you dont have health insurance.
Social services can help you.

Or go back to your parent's home. Or grand parents.

You have options.

But as a Christian, can't the officials of this forum bend the rules and simply donate because...?

James 2:15-16
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

If this might be a scam, it will be their sins, not yours.

I think we were hoping for a reply to basic Q's. Like- family which is a reasonable question and also biblical.
There wasnt one.
Likely a hit & run. It happens.

Then we Christians should not be concerned about that, and it is also written...

Matthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Proverbs 25:21-22
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

It is because we have been scammed multiple times but we still did not closed our doors to the people who approach us. They may seem sincere when asking for money, but their true intentions might be to exploit your kindness. Once they get the money, they will disappear without a trace.

But the responsibility lies entirely with them. We did not sin by giving them the money they requested. They are the ones who sinned. And hey, I'm not trying to argue. I'm just (confus3d dnt turn into a smiley) Why can't Christians on this forum bend the rules for the sake of following Christ? This has also been another eye-opening experience for me after conducting a social experiment in this forum years ago.

Hello Barb,
I am sorry for your plight. Have you looked into any churches? Pantry's, soup kitchens, social services. The help is there, this forum and others like it are full of all kinds of people and many have been scammed before, including myself.
I will pray that The Lord will visit good things on you but you really should go to places that are there for this very reason. There are pregnancy centers also who could help you.
In His Name,
Nancy

She might not get in front of a computer every day because she's homeless. She'll check back in eventually.

Nevertheless... :pray: in agreement with Lambano.

Yes, there are many pro-life pregnancy centers who will help her. Besides knowing of housing, they do counseling and also hand out baby necessities.

Churches, especially Catholic, could tell you where the pregnancy centers are located.

@barbg003 State Disability would cover you temporarily, if you have a job history.
Also, the father of your child should be trying to help you.
