I am requesting prayers for a very close friend of mine. She is a young mom of three small children and has been in a very bad car accident. she has a broken nose fractured face ,hurt back and broken foot that has had two surgeries and is going to be facing more in the future. She had just left her physically and emotionally abuse husband when this happened. He beat her up and was arrested but was just let out of jail. he has threatened to take the kids and kill her and she is very scared for her and her kids. She is unable to walk now and I am trying to help her the best that I am able but I too am disabled and also trying to take care of my very ill father and two small nephews. She is in desperate need of any and all help she can get. Anything will be appreciated. She is in need of groceries and/or food card to walmart or kroger , she is facing eviction if she cannot pay rent, she has no heat and needs the bill to be paid so she can get it back on before it gets cold which is next month where she lives and clothing for her and the children . her husband threw out most of her and the kids belongings and what he didnt throw out he broke and damaged them. If you cannot help please just keep this young mother in your prayers. Please contact me at pennydog1719@yahoo.com if you would like her contact information.

Dear Cthulhu,
Please watch after this woman. Keep her in Your mind as you slumber. Please send a Deep One to watch over her.

This woman needs ACTION, not prayers!
Contact your local Domestic Violence shelter. They should be able to provide some legal assistance and also get her in contact with food banks and other assistance programs to get her the food and clothing she needs for herself and her children.
Get on the horn.

Re: Some useful contact info
I hope you didn't spend too much time on that, Schraf. This poster sounds like a scam. I could be wrong, but the post has all of the hallmarks, including the classic "I would help, but I'm too old/disabled and have to take care of my sick father/mother" line, and a pitch for cash.
If I'm mistaken, Dagon strike me down

Re: Some useful contact info
I had the same thoughts, Rei, and no, it took me all of 5 minutes to find and cut-n-paste that info to the board.
Just in case it was a true story.
