I need a MIRACLE

Julie from Glen Eden

Hi Neighbours,

I wrote the piece titled ‘Standing on the side of the road - Genuine Hardship’ found on the noticeboard.

LINK: www.neighbourly.co.nz...

I’m very grateful for the kind comments and for ‘Car……’ helping me out.

I explained my medical situation and that I hoped a followup proceedure would fix me. Unfortunately, I’m too complicated for a proceedure and am not expecting to live much longer, thus, I need a miracle. Since I’m not part of a church, I am hoping I can use others and the power of people’s prayers.
….….
I also need to ask for help to sort out WINZ which will help immensely with health costs. For example: The family crisis I’ve been dealing with is improving slowly as expected, but it’s costly. I ran out of gas 3 times last week attending the many appointments.
….….
On top of asking the above, I urgently need food.

I’m exhausted a lot of the time and my body crashes forcing me to sleep a lot. I am hardly able to stand on the side of the road and while I am hoping to leave shortly, a neighbour suggested I ask on our neighbourly website and give my bank account number instead.
….….
I wish I could explain things more but that’s holding me back from posting. Please, contact me if you have questions.

PS: I am more than happy to receive food (and gas) and let you know if others have helped (if that holds you back).

Bank Account: 02-1242-0091536-002

Phone number: 0275978706

PPS: The silver linings include 'Sprituality' and learning to do things myself.
I can fix a washing machine and build a fence. I have attached a picture of a fence I built myself on days out of hospital. I am now helping neighbours fix their fence, hehe
