Help The Richardson-El Habti Family

Hi!  Let me start by introducing myself.  My name is Cynthia Richardson-El Habti.  I am married and a mother of two teenagers.  I am an avid animal lover and we have eight four-legged-furry animal members plus two birds. 

My family has been facing a very rough time this year!  We have had trouble financially because of problems with our health.  In 2005, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and have progressively gotten worse.  I had a multi-level fusion surgery in December and will be having another fusion surgery on my neck before the end of the year.  My daughter, who is 14, had surgery on her leg on April 20th because of a cyst that ate part of the bone in her lower leg.  

Due to the medical problems that I have I am not able to work at this time.  When I had surgery we figured that I would be off of work for about three months.  It has been a lot longer than that now.  Times have been really rough for us financial and emotionally.  I recently lost my car because I was unable to make the payments. 

I am asking for help because we do not know where else to turn.  I tried to apply for food stamps and got denied because we make $50.00 over the gross amount allowed for a family of four.  They will not even consider our medical expenses or insurance expense until I get my disability.  I have filed for disability and have been denied twice and now it is going to trial.  The attorney says that it could take up to 16 months just to get a hearing.

Any dontations would be greatly appreciated!  I know that with the economy times are tough for everyone.  Even if you are unable to donate, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read our story and would ask that you join us in a prayer that one of the churches  gave us.  

Father,

I praise and thank you for who You are to me.
 
You are God, holy and mighty above all (Luke 1:49)

And there is nothing too hard for you. (Jeremiah 32:27)
 
You have given me all things on earth to enjoy. (Psalm 115:16; Jeremiah 27:5)
 
You desire the very best for me. (Matthew 7:11; Luke 11:13)
 
You want to prosper me. (Proverbs 28:35)
 
Because You love me. (Jeremiah 31:3; John 1:17; Romans 8:31)

So I come before you in light of your promises;
 
Because You are God and You cannot lie (Titus 1:2)
 
You will make a way when there seems to be no way, (Joshua 2:10)
 
And give me the ability to produce wealth, (Deuteronomy 8:18)
 
More than I could ever think or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20)

Your Word is power, (Hebrews 1:3)
 
It created the world as we know it. (Hebrews 11:3)
 
And I speak this out, Expecting the same for my own world.

So thank you Father, I trust in Your love and faithfulness.

I ask that the lord bless my family with prosperity, wealth, and good health.  I also ask that the lord blesses each of your with prosperity, wealth, and good health.

Amen.
