Portland, Oregon

I’m older. My family is all grown up, and I have grandkids. I have been divorced since my kids were in school. I moved to a new neighborhood this year. I am having severe financial problems. The cost of living here has skyrocketed. My income has not. My family has helped me a lot. I don’t want to ask them for more help. I’ve prayed for help, but have been feeling like I don’t deserve help, because it’s my own fault. Then today this jar of change was delivered. Many dollar coins. Lots of little financial blessings have been coming my way. But this little jar is proof to me that God is listening, and someone does care.
