I've had a very difficult life, a chaotic and abusive childhood, abusive family, but overcame all that, worked hard, put myself through college, graduated with a high grade point average but found that the only jobs I can get are dead-end receptionist jobs. I just can't find a job that pays a decent, living wage and have been struggling financially for several years now. This has put a tremendous strain on my physical and mental health. Apparently, many people don't understand how poverty affects its victims. I now have health problems as a result of having worked so hard, having lived in dirty, low-income buildings, and not having the money to get treatment when I'm sick. I'm afraid I may be permanently disabled now--two back injuries and chronic respiratory problems. My personal life is also suffering. I can't afford to socialize, to go out and meet people. Consequently, I rarely date or have fun. I've begun to believe that someone has placed a curse on me as it seems that no matter how hard I've tried to create a good life for myself, tragedies just keep befalling me. In fact, people who know me are often surprised by the things that happen to me. I think if enough people send positive energy in my direction through prayer, this might turn around. So please, can anyone out there who reads this, send out a prayer for me. I do pray to God every day--twice or more per day. But it seems my prayers aren't answered. I can't figure out what I did that was so terrible to deserve the life I'm living now. In spite of having worked hard to graduate from a top college, with honors--and being the first in my family to graduate from college--I'm living in poverty and unable to find any but low-paying, unstable jobs. I'm an accomplished artist, filmmaker, actor, musician and writer and people are impressed with my work. But sadly, our society doesn't appreciate artists and I've been unable to get financially rewarded for my work. However, I am trying to start my own business. If I can work for myself, I can pay myself a decent salary. I'm not afraid of hard work or of working independently. I'm just afraid I won't be able to find customers who can afford to hire me in this economy.
Anyway, my request is that someone pray that I get my business started and begin earning a living working for myself. I am seriously on the verge of standing on the street and begging for spare change. I hope I don't have to do that. If I can find customers for my business than I won't need to sink that low or to find myself homeless.
Thank you, again to anyone who reads this and who can spare a moment to send out a prayer in my behalf.
