Dear fellow Aidpage members: I am sending this updated message on behalf of Aidpage member http://mrsdraper.aidpage.com/.
Some of you may have already read this post, while others are reading it for the very first time. To all newcomers; as an Aidpage member since September 28, 2010, I am aware and truly understand that most people who visit the Aidpage website are NOT in a financial position to give monetary donations to others, including me. I also understand that there are a lot of bad people in this world who prey upon and scam those who are honest and giving. These factors make it difficult for me to compose the following plea on this person’s behalf. I am an honest and giving individual and want to help this family, but know I cannot do it alone.
The Draper family moved to Ellenwood, GA in August after being forced to leave the crowded conditions they were living in by DFCS. http://mrsdraper.aidpage.com/and her husband are parents to 3 toddlers. This family of 5 was living in the same home with her mother, brother, and disabled aunt, which made a total of 8 people living under the same roof. These living arrangements were not done out of choice, but out of desperation of not being able to afford a place of their own since her husband has been unemployed for over a year.
After only a few short months of moving to a new city, their electricity has been disconnected and they are not eligible for utility assistance since they’ve been customers for less than 4 months. (I personally contacted the electric company on her behalf, which is why I know this).They are also in need of food and other necessity items. They tried seeking help from local churches in the area but were turned away due to the church's lack of funds or simply being told, “We don’t help.” This family is trying everything they can to survive under the circumstances. Mrs. Draper’s husband even traveled to Colorado a few weeks ago where he went looking for work. He had a potential employer there who paid for a one-way Greyhound bus ticket from Conyers, GA to Fort Collins, CO with the promise of a job. However after arriving, the job opportunity fell through and he found himself stranded there since he didn't have the money to return home. But fortunately with help from the Salvation Army and day labor jobs, he was able to purchase a bus ticket back home just in time for Thanksgiving, but they are still struggling with no source of income.
I have known and personally assisted http://mrsdraper.aidpage.com/for over a year and can vouch for her honesty and integrity that she’s telling the truth. We all need a helping hand from time to time, and that’s the position she’s in right now. If anyone would like to make a donation to help this family, even if it’s only a $1.00, please go to https://www.paypal.com/.You will need to sign up for a PayPal account if you don’t already have one in order to make a donation and enter her email addressmrssaywhat@yahoo.com after you select the “send money” button Thank you all for your support.
