My name is Laura Farrell, I am a registered nurse in Virginia. I see elderly patients in their homes. I am putting my name and rep out there so you will know this is not a scam.
I have permission from my patient to share this information with the world in hopes of finding some help for her.
I had a photo here of me and Ms.Lillian, but she is afraid the gov will see it and stop her social security, so i removed it. (Ms. Lillian and me on Easter morning 2013. She weighs 108 pounds, in August she was 160)
After much frustration attempting to gain assistance for my patient Ms. Lillian, I am turning to you.
This lady is 78 yrs old, living on approx $700 a month social security. Her rent is now due which is well over $850. She can no longer buy food or medicine and will soon be homeless and all her possessions placed in the dumpster.
I have contacted adult protective services, social services, community groups, rent subsidized housing, sent a medical social worker to her home, and contacted everyone else I can think of, and nobody can help her. The waiting list for low income housing is over 2 years long, she applied in August, she has a year and a half left to wait.
We as human beings have a obligation to care for the sick, elderly, widows, orphans and all those less fortunate than ourselves. Please find that compassion in yourself, and reach out and show love to someone who is scared to death and all alone right now. No you won't get a tax break helping her, no nobody will sing your praises in the streets, but God knows and Lillian will know and you will know. Whatever you do, do it to the glory of God, do it in secret, then your Father who sees will reward you!
Please donate, no amount is too small, even $5 means the world to someone who can't buy food or medicine. Do unto others as you would have done unto you, or your mom, and know that you will reap what you sow.
Love can't be overdone, you can never give too much or care too much or love too much. It truly is better to give then to receive, I know, I've been there many times.
Please help me help this dear lady who was abandoned by her mom and left in an orphanage, abused in every way you can think of and now at the end of her life is alone and destitute.
James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress..."
