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

Again nothing to do with her situation! How do we help her. I don't mean to offend, but how can we help her, the more suggestions the better. I do not know where else she can turn, so I cannot point her in the right direction because I haven't experienced it. How do we get her situation on the right path and keep her son safe and well.

I am Catholic. I have gone to different churches but I am Catholic. I did leave verification of everything at St John (near the Catholic Charities). I should not have left it in the bulliten boxes on the wall but Im sure they will get delivered to the right person. I will check tomorrow.

Thank you very much. You have been very helpful. I did leave the information and I will go to the offices past the church tomorrow. I left about 10 pages of evidence of my situation. Honestly, I did not think anyone would even respond to this. I kept getting turned away by agencies that I thought would help. I think it is nice that people are still there for each other. By the way, if anyone has a newborn little boy, I have very cute outfits and a bassinet that I would like to give to them.

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.

Should I give verification to your priest?

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 !

That was one of the nicest things I have heard. I miss Donnys cute grin and I am soo glad my son has that beautiful grin from his Dad.

O.K. I will start the ball rolling.....

I have the contact information of the landlord, I am contributing $100. towards back rent. If anyone in their heart wants to contribute you can write a check and drop it off during operating hours.

This family has been through hell and back again. Even if Ann gets the proper channels for disability or SSI it still takes a few weeks for things to start in her direction. Ann has been exhausting her funds taking care of a newborn, with a serious medical condition traveling back and forth to the hospitals. Funds have run out.....I personally know what this has done and went through this 3 years ago with a grand-daughter born weighing 1-lb and 4 months in John Hopkins NICU unit.

I don't believe it matters what faith Ann and her family are. What I remember the bible teaching is to help those in need.

Well, since I would prefer not to give any info that would identify me, what I will do is suggest a few of the local priests who I know to be wonderful; my priest is among this list.

Fr. Scott Woods; St. Cecelia's in St. Mary's City
Fr. Jack Kennealy; Immaculate Heart of Mary in Lex. Park
Fr. Sileo; Holy Face in Callaway
Fr. Karl; St. George in Valley Lee
Fr. Dan; Jesus the Divine Word in Huntingtown (definitely recommend this parish if you are in that area)
and lastly
Fr. Damien Shadwell, but I'll have to get back to you on the parish he's been moved to, although St. Cecelia's can tell you as that is his former church.

When you have confirmed that your priest has your info, I will call that parish for an address for donations.

I think none of us can guarantee that a priest might be willing to set something up, but it's worth a shot anyway.
Although I don't know if his new parish has the discretionary funds his older one used to, I know Fr. Damien has been known to pay rent, utilities, etc. for people; he's especially generous when there are children involved. BTW-did you say you had older child?
Keep us posted. Our prayers are with you.

Can you post the landlord's info?

[Godblesdon1218]

Yes, I will post my landlords informatiom. My landlord is Edward Futyma 1600 Emmanuel Church Road Huntingtown, MD 20639. I also dropped off information to Fr. Daly at St. John Vianney, although I put it in the unlocked bullitin board when you walk in the church to the left. I am confirming today that he received it. I will also take information to the other priest that Libby suggested. I want to thank you Robin so much. You must know what we are going through. Thank U very much.

I also heard that a couple gas cards would be greatly appreciated to get baby back and forth to appointments. They can also be dropped off at Canter-Lope. I pass the babies grandmother house and talk to her daily.
