My heart breaks for you truly.
You did good, going and speaking with the Priest and working with Catholic charities. I'm very proud of you for taking those steps.
I am surprised that they did not offer you the box of food and gift card. Perhaps it was because you told them you would be homeless in a few short days and the box of food would be irrelevant at this point. Unfortunately, you are at the eleventh hour and I do know in time they could help.
So where do you go from here? I think your only option now to try is to ask the person your staying with for a GRACE PERIOD.
Promise you will contribute more to the household thru bringing food to the table, perhaps cleaning and make a commitment not to have even one drop of alcohol. What things can you do to help this friend who so generously allowed you to stay there? Think? Tell him you are working on a plan with Catholic Charities to become independent. Use their resources to do this. But, you need a plan and more time. St Vincent de Paul will help..."they teach a man to fish." But you need to buy some time. I will pray for you everyday that this person will give you one more month to execute your plan.
Stop trying to convince your Sister, it just stresses you out. I'm not saying never talk to her but stay away from the I'm sick topic as it sounds like there's no sympathy there and you are trying to squeeze blood out of a rock.
I pray that if you beg for some Grace Time with this person and tell him you have a plan, that he will grant you more time. If that can happen then your work has begun to work with St Vincent's bring home food and get a job through the Catholic Charities program.
You are deeply in my prayers for a miracle! I am so proud of you and going down to the Church and St Vincent's to help you. Even if you end up in a shelter continue to do so.
Ps you're dog will be ok!
Love, Deborah |
