Going on Faith 🙏!

Hi y'all 👋🤠!
Been wanting to make it back here sooner but life has become MORE of a continuous struggle, since Cheryl's sight isn't improving with the eye injections...
Her driving has become limited and since I can't drive our lives have become very limited...

The main reason we can't stay here " forever" is no transportation. Uber is about $40 to Walmart and back. $20 round trip to the small supermarket Rameys or Walgreens.


Once driving cross-country was no big deal. Either by car or driving a U-Haul truck 🚛!
For us as Seniors it's not possible now.

We are saving to move,yet 2 low fixed income's don't leave much after rent,Elec, food,car insurance and basic necessities.

Dear Lord,Holy Mother and all that is good.
I wrote this in my notebook 📓 journal as I have many times over the years. My prayers 🙏🍀 and asking for guidance with them.

I'm pouring my heart and spirit into this letter 💌.
We have learned not to depend on others much the past 40 years.
We figure them out and help make it happen.

Years ago we were responsible for Children and later raising grandkids some with special needs.
We did all we could to love,teach and encourage each one. We worked and keep the house cleaned and did many things together like going to the beach, amusement park, aquariums.

Some are in Oregon and not able to help much.
Some have passed away or not in touch.

I will have to figure out a GoFundMe even though it will be mainly strangers we ask for help to achieve our goals. To live on a bus line to be self-sufficient and enjoy whatever time we have left! To be able to get to a store or park without much or any driving. That would be a big blessing and take away a lot of the stress we are facing now.

And praying 😺🙏 we can keep our 2 rescue 🛟 kitty's Maxy and Mojo. Sister's we have for the last 3 years, since they were 7 weeks old and are indoor cats.


It's expensive to move and have to stay at a motel for maybe a month, while looking for a rental house.
We are able to get a Housing Choice voucher and have about a month to find a place or we lose it...

This (was) is in my journal notebook I started in March. It's August and usually a book would last a month or so.
I don't write ✍️ so much anymore.its hard to not write about going places and doing things like gardening like in the past ( and hopefully in the future 😉😀!)

We don't go out much. We get medical rides but that's it.Thankful yet too far to walk to anything more than one Dollar store.

States like Mississippi here are limited in rural areas, like we are for things like transportation or access to basic services.

I have yet to figure out all the exact amounts of all this move will need.

A month at a motel is at least $2000. Not to mention moving our things, the cats, the car. The move-in deposits, and Electric, internet deposits.a Broom and toilet paper!

We've been calling different moving companies for quotes as well as U-Haul ( no way ) Pods and other places.

So far we may have to move to a town in Mississippi about 300 miles away up north. They have a bus system and are closer than Roanoke Virginia or other places we considered.
I'm praying you will help and guide 🦮 us through all of this.
Thanks and Amen 🙏.

After I wrote the above I thought about sharing it with others on social media and taking a chance to share with others what's going on.

Some folks may be able to help and at least get in touch and add prayers or suggestions.

I shared this with my sister Cheryl.
She agreed I've nothing to lose by trying. And maybe a miracle will happen!
Thanks for your time 🙂.
And caring!
