Single mom needs some help

Hey Everyone,

Below is a message that was forwarded to me from the freecycle website. Please read it and pray about how God might want to use you to help this person.

Thanks, Tonya Bredamus

Diapers and help... Ridgeway


I am a single mother of a 13 yr old and an 8 yr old that are still at home , i also have my 2 grandchildren ages 2 years and 6 months. This may not be appropriate for freecycle but i have no where else to turn i recently got laid off and do draw unemployment, but that doesnt even come close to take care of my bills and diapers for the babys, one wears size 4 and one wears size 5. I also have no transportation to get to social services for help with food. If anyone has any diapers or formula their little one no longer needs i could really use them. Also any advise on wear i could go for help with rent and such.

Thank you for reading,
Rhonda

I have posted this for my Mom she has no internet acess. I live in Ohio and have no way to help her myself.
