    TO ALL WHO ARE TRYING TO HELP ANN. I CALLED SEVERAL CHURCHES IN THE TOWN THAT ANN LIVES IN. THEY HAVE TRIED TO HELP HER BUT SHE ONLY WANTS MONEY. THEY SAY SHE IS A SCAM ARTIST AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY NAME SHE HAS USED.
    I HAVE SENT HER THE NAME AND PHONE NUMBER OF A PRIEST THAT SAYS HE WILL BE HAPPY TO SPEAK WITH HER IF SHE WILL CALL HIM.
    THIS IS SO SAD WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED HELP AND THEN SOMEONE STEPS UP AND YELLS HELP AND DOESN’T NEED IT.
    PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ANN. SHE DOES NEED HELP AND GUIDANCE.

    Dear Christine:

    I have a 10:30 A.M. doctor’s appointment tomorrow. Last night was so bad, you don’t want to know what I was thinking of doing. But I thought about my animals and thought I couldn’t leave them behind alone they are the innocent ones in all of this turmoil. I gathered them in my arms at 5:30 a.m., sobbed into their bodies, and asked God not to let me do anything stupid. I feel into a deep sleep. It’s 4:59 p.m., and those precious animals never left my side. I need to get them out and feed them, I have a great deal going on and I need God’s strength.

    I’m going back to bed once I take care of them, I’m soooooooooo tired.

    Joy, I promise to write you soon. You have been so patient with me, yesterday wasn’t a good day, today isn’t much better, only I’m sleeping longer and that helps. Don’t give up on me Joy, I promise to get back to you, just very tired. Please no one give up on me, it’s a special day in the world….9/11/2011. We need (or at least I do, need to focus on people worse off than me.) I’ll be in touch.

    Ann, when is the last time you have seen a doctor? Can you call a taxi and get to the doctor? Sounds like to me you need to go to the doctor again. I wish you had one of those programs where you could speak and it would write down for you, that way you would have a way to the grocery store and they would have a list to help you. Taking all the medication without food is hard on your body. Pain pills do a number on your system. Be sure you drink, alot. If you can somehow make it to a spot near a handicapp space at a Wal-Mart and walk in they say, I’ve never done this but they will assist you in whatever way they can. When you get your nerve up, it might be something to try. What about the neighbor who brought you food before. Could you call her/him and see if they could help you? My prayers are with you. Sorry, I can’t do more to help. I was just thinking about that computer program.

    I wanted to update everyone on what has been happening. Meza, you especially. I did contact the salvation army here in Pennsylvania as was advised (thanks to your contact.) However, that was on Tuesday p.m., the social worker said he had a client and couldn’t come with any food on Tuesday, but promised me that he would be here first thing on Wednesday. I gave him my name, address, and phone number and full of hope and looking forward to this wonderful piece of news since I hadn’t eaten anything for two days and nights, only live on water, gatorade and something else not sure that I can remember, with the concussion. Anyway, today is Saturday, no calls, no food, no show up. I contacted the Major that contacted me long distance and got me the gentleman’s name, and told her that he never called, showed up etc. I wrote that e-mail today. No food…still drinking water, gatorade and pain killers. Really messed up in the head right now, but I wanted to update everyone of what has or hasn’t been going on.

    Tried going to the store in my state of mind, which is right around the corner. Yep, I drove there, but couldn’t get myself out of the car, how frustrating. Made a u-turn home. Had a great deal of difficulty getting out of the car and still no food. I closed my eyes, prayed to God in tears, and some stranger walking his dog, saw me in the driveway trying to get out of the car…he came over, I didn’t want him to see me cry, as I said “SORRY ALLERGIES, TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE.” Whether he believed it or not, I don’t know. He got me to my front door, I barely made it into the house. My dogs sensed there was something wrong. I wrapped my arms around them and cried my eyes out, wasn’t gone long but they hugged and kissed me. One of the dogs brought me one of his bones, well you guessed it, as disgusting as it may sound, I munched on that…don’t try this at home as they say. But desperate means desperate measures. I’m surprised he didn’t grab it away from me.

    I’m sorry everyone, I don’t mean to bring everyone on a downer, so in closing, keep those prayers coming. As I look out my window the sun is shining brightly, the day is warm, not rainy. Wish I could have my siding put up today, but I think they’re expecting rain later today. But God is good to allow people to clean up after the hurricane, floods, mud slides etc. He’s giving all of us a chance to start over. I took some more medication which is tiring me to no end, so I’ll close here.

    MESSAGE TO JOY; I PROMISE TO WRITE YOU LATER TODAY IN RESPONSE TO YOUR E-MAILS. JUST LET THE MEDICINE KICK IN, LET ME GET SOME SLEEP, MORE TIRED THAN USUAL BECAUSE TAKING THESE MEDICINES WITHOUT FOOD TIRES ME ALL THE MORE SO.

    To everyone know that I hold each of you in my heart, in my soul and in my thoughts and prayers. I’ve been thanking God for all your support in prayers and just letting me talk to you. That means so much. God bless each of you, please pray for me and I will continue to do so in unison for each of you.

    Peace, love & joy,

    To Meza And Calamity. Meza, thank you so much for contacting the Salvation Army, I received two e-mails this a.m. from them, of what I needed. Being laid up I need a ride to “BJ’s” a wholesale food place but I can’t do any heavy lifting, pushing, pulling etc. I just asked them if they could provide a couple of sandwiches, maybe canned chicken, turkey, tuna fish. That would get me through just opening a can to make a sandwich. I’ve had to wear a tens unit all night and today the pain in my back is killing me, the medicine is making me feel yucky, the ice packs are good for my knees. But my stomach is yucky today, I think from the medicine of the last few days.
    I told them of a family that is worse off than me (you know there is always someone worse off than you), I tried helping them as they were living in a tent and the police chased them and their children away. They needed food (four children) and a total of seven in the family. Before my recent fall I took them to BJ’s the wholesale food place and got them some food. Now they want to help me by cleaning my house, painting etc. I guess when you try to do a good deed it comes back to you. Thank you Meza, if I can just get a few pieces of bread and canned turkey, chicken, tuna that would tie me over. Just can’t walk right now, nor shop, bed ridden since I’ve written to all of you. Now they’re expecting a hurricane. My ceiling fell through in the laundry room, they fixed that (the family that I helped), but being laid up for seven months and alone, has taken its toll on me, and the house. That’s how I fell, trying to get the house put back together myself. Vacuum cleaner on top of me, with hammer, screw-driver, pictures, well you have the idea. I’ll keep you posted about the Salvation Army, my stomach is really queezie.

    To Calamity, yes, by all means please put me on your prayer list. God without friends like all of you posters not from around here, I’m overwhelmed. Here I have locals that wouldn’t get me a sandwich or even check on me. But a friend a distance away, not knowing my circumstances came by yesterday and if she didn’t leave a message on my machine, I didn’t know that she left fruit and veggies outside my door. Glad I got to it before the “varmits” outside did. She still doesn’t know my status. She’s a distance from here, and only God let her know my predicament.

    Everyone thank you from a long distance. It means so much. have to get off, feeling really sick right now. Love you all!

    Ann

    Doesn’t it make it you feel great that so many folks are praying for you and thinking about you and trying to help you. That is so wonderful in this age and time. It lifts my spirits just reading them. Ann, I could add you to my Biblestudy list if you wanted me too. I try to do them when I can of course I have to fight for computer time with a child in college and one who just has fun on the computer but I still try maybe what encourages me that day will encourage you also. I’m willing to try.

    Hi Ann, No it was “not a scam” i contacted the Salvation Army as i have a male friend near where i live that uses their services…he/David was living alone, with pets, like you Ann, and he had to sometimes be hospitalized to have different special procedures and after care with shopping and organizing meals on wheels, doing his washing…I had the thought that maybe they could help you too… In the USA…Take care…

    Yes, I’m happy about that unexpected surprise visit. And today, I received an e-mail. She said that someone from Austraila contacted the Salvation Army, but they don’t know my exact location. The Salvation Army people. I didn’t give my address, just the big city where it’s near, as I don’t know if it’s a scam or what. Being alone, you have to be careful. The head is doing better, but I slept with a “tens unit” all night for my back and had ice on my knees. I don’t like taking medication without food, and today, my stomach is a bit yucky. I’ll be fine, God is watching over me.

    Thanks Sherie…God is good, kind, loving, compassionate and watches over His own. Have a beautiful day, even though its raining here and we’re in for a major storm some talking about a hurricane. That’s the scary part.

    Wonderful new Ann. There is no doubt in my mind that it was answered prayer and God had already answered it before all our prayers went out. What an awesome God we have!!
