I do work with Gene, she is an RN at the infant and toddlers program, she works with the growth of my son. She knows of my situation. I have his application for disability and his application for benefits from the death of his father. I am going to see if I can get a walk in appointment at a place in Pr. Fred that takes applications that someone told me about.

Talk to Leonardtown Baptist Church. They may be able to help you with benevolence.

Sometimes when you ask for help (and may I remind you that she asked for church recommendations) in a religion forum, you're going to get religion as the foundation of response.

ann,I new Donny and was also at his funeral ( friend of the families) I am so sorry for all the pain you have gone through losing Donny(dad). But remember you have his son and all this trouble is worth it to have that sweet boy. he has struggled too , but he is thriving now.I have seen his pics and boy does he look like his dad. Keep trying , you will find the help you need. I would love to buy a few things for the baby ...pm me a list of things he might need and I will see what I can do !! Keep being a great mom...Donny woud be proud of you and you know he is watching his son, and his cute grin !

If you do not believe in the doctrines of the church, i.e. the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, 100% pro-life with no exceptions, papal infallibility, then I hope that you can find another Christian tradition that suits you better and draws you closer to Jesus Christ. Ultimately, it will be my prayer that your journey will lead you back into the Catholic Church.
If you go to the priest in the area and we can get that verification of your situation, I can promise you that I will ask my priest to take up a special collection for you and your son.

Yes by making sure she is a good catholic, then upon verification you will help her. What a good christian attitude! So if I understand you correctly, when anyone is down and out, you will help them only if they are a member of your faith?

Yes, you may get a religious response but not to the tune that unless you join my religion I'm not going to help you! Which is exactly what your response said? How very non-Christian of you!

Our prayers are with you.

I forgot about the PM feature...PM me and I can help more directly.

In Libby's defense..she did offer to help directly by giving her own money. I really think she didn't want to be in the position of pushing her religion on someone else of another denomination.

Please go to the first post, she is looking for help on where to turn to continue to support her family in this time of need. Can we forget about religious foundations and can all of us Christians come together and provide suggestions on where she can go for help. Can we all come together and try and find her some help with out putting her through all of this. She is doing what she can, can anyone please provide her with some kinda direction and hope of where to turn next? Lets focus on how we may be able to help her.

You two need some comprehension classes. Others pointed out that there are those who prey on the charity of churches. I suggested she provide verification by either a priest, pastor or medical professional so that aid might be set up.
Please copy and paste where I told her I would "only help her if..." I couldn't care less what her faith is, and I would help her insofar as I am able.
That said, whether you agree or not, it is important when looking for a church that you actually believe what the church teaches; if she said she was Mormon I would not recommend a Catholic Church.

Again, and part of me cannot believe I'm giving your accusations the time of day, but here goes...
I never said she had to be Catholic, only that if she is (and remember, she is looking for a church) that she should believe what the church teaches if she decides to return.
Get it?

Godblesd says,

and

I am Catholic

Libby says,

So, Libby says "priest" because Blesd indicates she is Catholic, not because I'm pushing my religion.
