My family and I have really been struggling for a long time. My dad suffered a stroke several years ago and has been in and out of work ever since. He's done everything from janitorial work to corporate consulting. Right now, he's working on a contract that is set to end next month with no guarantee that he will be hired full time. Meanwhile, we have no insurance yet many health challenges and expensive medications to fill. Additionally, our car just stopped working today, and he's not sure how he will get to work in the morning; that car is our only form of transportation.

I do not drive and do not have a full time job, just temporary work. I'm trying to find a full time job to help my family out with rent (which is now past due), prescription medications (of which I take many), food (which we stretch every penny to purchase every day), and now a new car (because it would probably cost more to fix at this point than purchasing a used car or something).

It pains me to see my father work so hard every day with very little reward and my mother break down in tears as she watches her husband struggle. It breaks my heart; I pray all the time but just when things seem to get better, they get worse. PLEASE pray that God will deliver us from this hardship and pain.
