Vicki update

I’m so pleased to be able to have a positive Vicki update. Although nothing major has changed yet, it looks as if there will be some positive upcoming changes soon, hopefully!

I’m taking her to the SS office on Monday and God-willing, she’ll get approved for disability payments & SSI. She has been approved for food stamps, too. She is getting her last 2 months of electric bill paid by a local outreach organization. Her car payment is WAY overdue & will be repossessed soon, but a fellow biker friend of ours is going to let us buy a car from him for her (cheap!) which ultimately means that Vicki won’t have a car payment!!!! YEAH!

She is taking so much ownership & responsibility for her issues which is so impressive to me and makes me so happy. I give her a ‘To Do’ list once a week or so and she immediately gets going on it.

In the last 3 days she has been blessed by 3 different random people giving her $100 each. She is brought to tears as she tells me about this! So amazing! She is saving every penny of it to see what she will need in the future if and when she can move.

Housing is the one problem that remains. She is getting on various lists of public/subsidized housing, but the wait lists are long and her slum landlord now wants to raise her rent!!!! Outrageous!

Since she still lives without a TV or radio, I gave her a stack of old magazines… you would have thought I gave her a bar of gold. If you have any that you can donate to her, please let me know and I’ll come get them - books, too.

Keep praying.
