Dear fellow Aidpage members. I was asked to send out this request on behalf of another Aidpage member, http://mrsdraper.aidpage.com/, since she no longer has access to a computer. She and her husband are parents to 3 toddlers. Until recently, this family of 5 was living in the same home with her mother, brother, and disabled aunt, which made a total of 8 people living under the same roof. This was not out of choice, but out of desperation of not being able to afford a place of their own since her husband has been unemployed for almost a year and unable to find work. This crowded living condition was brought to the attention of DFCS, and they were given 24 hours to find another home big enough to accommodate 8 people or lose custody of their children. This mother's only option was to temporarily turn over custody of her children to her sister until they could relocate.
They have now moved into a bigger place in Ellenwood, GA but have absolutely no funds left to get the electricity turned on. They are also in need of food, clothing, and other necessity items. They visited several local churches in the area but were turned away due to the church's lack of funds. I've made contact with the electric company to see what kind of help, if any, they can offer. Her only wish is to regain custody of her children. She has a PayPal account, mrssaywhat@yahoo.com, if anyone is able to make a small donation to help with food, clothing, and electricity. Any suggestions or referrals would also be most appreciated.
