Support the Powells
I need to reach out for help month, as we have hit a major snag. I am currently unemployed again, though God-willing only very temporarily. In the meantime, I have not yet received my final check from my last job AND I did not get my regular check from Social Security this month! In addition to this, I need to go back home to Florida to spend time with my stepmother who is facing a very scary medical situation - her lung has herniated outside of her rib cage; AND I need to pay for a class I have already started taking!
My husband’s disability check does not cover all of our monthly bills, and while I have had a small influx of sales from my Etsy shop this week, I have $2 left after buying (not enough) groceries. I am a payment behind on my car as well, as I have not been paid since this summer.
Outside of my own needs, my family back home has been through two back-to-back hurricanes, which has cost them thousands of dollars. They already cancelled Thanksgiving in order to be able to have a nice Christmas for the kids, and now they are talking about having to cancel Christmas activities after the expenses related to a death in the family.
I know that it is a lot to ask, but I need to raise about $2500 for my own household, and about the same for my family - this will also allow my father, mother, stepmother and me to spend Christmas together with my extended family.
Please keep all of us in your prayers!
in Christ,
Matushka Maria

Hello my friends.
Our current situation as of today is not much better than last week. It may actually be more urgent. As of right now, I have about 3-4 days on my prepaid power bill, and my car insurance is due to cancel on Tuesday. If my insurance cancels, we not only have to pay for a new policy, but also $200 in fines to the county to keep our tags active.
The insurance bill is $147. Our power is currently costing about $7 per day, so roughly $100-115 for the rest of the month.
This does not cover phone, internet, water, or car payment, but is the most urgent need right now.
Anything you can do is helpful - donations, Etsy sales, shares, and most importantly, prayers!
thank you so much for everything.
in Christ,
Matushka Maria
