Miracles Happen!

Hello Wonderful, Compassionate World!  Here is my story: 

Merciful Compassion 'Krapalu' Showing or giving mercy.

I am a single mother of an amazing little boy, who is the love of my life.  I worked my fingers to the bone in a great career, putting my blood, sweat and tears into a company for over 14 years.  It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and I was able to learn and grow with this company, starting out as a bookkeeper, and moving into a senior executive level.  I purchased our first home on my own, and it was our dream home.

My son's biological father was hardly ever involved in his life, never paid child support, and never helped with my child's insurance or any of the medical bills.  The father only came around to harass me when it was convenient for him.  After several volatile and abusive situations with this man, I finally decided that I needed to take legal action to rid myself of this man before my son witnessed my murder by him.

If anyone is familiar with our judicial system, it is not about right or wrong, or even the truth for that matter.  I hired an attorney to set up a Protective Order and Supervised Visits for my son because his father had already threatened to kill me, kidnap my son, and take him to Mexico where he owns property.   I took the high road during the entire litigation, always believing that the truth prevails.  Boy, was I in for a rude awakening.  The biological father put up the most vicious, vindictive fight against me, concocting the most malicious lies about me and tried to take my son from me.  Unfortunately, he was able to con an attorney to work Pro Bono for him, and I was in for the fight of my life. 

I do not come from a wealthy family at all, and worked very hard for everything that I had.  Well, the opposing counsel pulled many unethical and illegal manuevers during our litigation, and got my son's father out of over $20,000 in back child support, his portion of unpaid medical bills, and forced me to rack up over $200,000 in legal fees.  After four attorneys, selling my beloved home, losing everything I had worked so hard for, and going through my parents retirement funds, I kept custody of my son, but at a very high price.  On top of getting the father out of his financial responsibilities - the opposing counsel also got the child support payments reduced to nothing.  Please note:  the biological father is a trained nurse - but waits tables so he can hide his income and pay the lowest child support possible.

I had to sell my dream home to help pay legal fees in the fight for my child - but the worst part is that my parents had to help me with the rest of the legal fees and went through their entire life savings.  They are both retired and in their 60's and 70's.  They had been very frugal and spent their entire lives saving to have a decent retirement. 

Because of this litigation, my credit has been temporarily ruined after years of a pretty much perfect credit score, I owe my parents over $200,000, and have to start my life completely over from rock bottom.  My biggest heartbreak is that my parents are not even able to enjoy their golden years because of one very bad attorney, and my choice to leave an extremely abusive man.

I have been trying so hard to land a job, but with no luck.  I have asked friends and relatives for help, but no luck there either.

So here I am, On AIDPAGE.  I am completely broke, in serious debt, and desperately need help from any Angels out there.  I am not asking for a handout - I just truly need some help getting back on my feet to be self sufficient again.  My parents need my help.  My son needs me to be strong for him. 

I cherish helping and giving to the homeless.  I am very saddened that I am not in a position right now to be able to give back to those in need, but it is my top priority once I get back on my feet again.  Money and material possessions are worthless unless we continuously give back to those in need.

Thank you for reading my story.  If there is anyway that some Angel out there could see it in their heart to help me, my son, and my parents, the graciousness and gratefulness would be insurmountable. 

I would reciprocate in any way that I could - by providing my business services, running errands, doing odds and ends as a personal assistant - because I absolutely do not expect someone to help me without something in return.  I am a giver, not a taker - making this situation in my life right now very difficult for me.

If you see it in your heart to help our situation, I would be so grateful.  Please, please help us.  I have a PayPal account if anyone would be so kind as to help us.  God Bless All of You!

Thank you again for taking the time to read this!

'Aum' or 'Om' Literally means "yes, verily." Aum, often spelled Om, is the "breath of life". The most sacred mantra of Hinduism is placed at the beginnings of most sacred writings. Aum represents the Divine and is explained in the Upanishads as standing for the whole world and its parts, including past, present and future. It is from this primal vibration that all manifestation issues forth. Aum's three letters represent the three worlds and the powers of creation, pr
