What Do I say to Angie?

Just woke up, checked my e-mails and posts. Still nothing. I need to call Angie and let her know how things stand. I do not know what I am going to tell her. All she has been doing is crying from frustration and the uncertainty she is facing. I am doing everything I can think of to try and help her, and I am coming up far too short cause of my own situation. I wish that there was more I could do for her.

I wish people would at least do more at spreading the word, so hopefully my plea of assistance for Angie might get to someone that can truly help her. I know I mentioned about some help for myself so that I could get something going that would be financially better for myself than waiting tables at a restaurant. But right now I  would be happy with help for Angie. So if you are reading this, if you are hesitant to spread the word because of me, than take me out of the equation, and spread the word for Angie.

Remember that even if a person is unable to assist, that by mentioning it to family members or friends could get the word out to someone that could be in the position to help. I know that I am a stranger to you and that you do not know me. The only reason I am doing this is because I am out of ideas and options. I praying that someone will get the word and step forward and help Angie, but I am losing hope right now.

This woman has been truly life-changing for me, she has been my best friend. Talked to me when I was really down emotionally and lifted me up. Her compassion for others is extraordinary, even with the troubled past she had. She does her best in troubled times and makes the most of what she is given.

Of course she has made mistakes like everyone of us, but she tried to do her best at the time. But a lot of her situation at this time was totally out of her control, and her family is suffering because of those circumstances.

So if you have any compassion at all even if you can not help yourself, at least spread the word by sharing on your facebook, twitter, or other social media. By spreading word about Angie's plight we might get her the assistance she needs. I know many are thinking why she isn't using the public assistance that is out there. Well I can tell from personal experience that no matter how deserving a person is for that kind of help, people still fall through the cracks. I did. Most of the help out there when I was fighting my cancer, I could not access because I did not have any dependents, I was not female. I was not from a minority. I was not a immigrant. And I was neither a minor, or a senior. I was simply a 35 year old Caucasian male with cancer. So I fell through the cracks of society, and had to struggle far harder because of it. Ask any social worker you know of how many help programs they know of to assist a guy in my position, and they will tell you very few that do not offer much. Then ask them about assistance programs for others like a single mom, a Hispanic immigrant, or a senior, and they will give you a long list of programs available to help.

 In time when I have the resources I would like to become a serious advocate for true social reform. But that is down the road.

So please take the time to share this with your time by twitting, facebooking, or however you share your info with family and friends.

For those that can help Angie, please contact me directly through my e-mail account at julius.south@gmail.com . Thank you for your time and your prayers.
