Not sure what to do. Think you can help?

[TEAMJACOB]

I always felt that when things get really bad that is what family is for. Moving in with mom and saving that rent money would be a good idea.

What are her thoughts on Australia?

[Ted]

As anti Kiss FM as I am, try submitting her for that thing they always do around the holidays. Sounds deserving.

Good people? Maybe the kid but the mom has made some bad decisions to end up where she's at. How come the mother's not perusing child support? I'm not trying to be a dick but "good" people are responsible and would make wise decisions, especially if a child's will being is on the line.

Why can't the mom get another job? I know that the job market is tough right but she should be able to do something...

This is Obama's America, there's all kinds of help, even for those that don't need it so I'm sure they can find something.

Who says she isn't pursuing child support? That stuff doesn't just happen over night. Bad decisions? Her kid has cancer. I'm sure she didn't chose that. I don't know of a single person that hasn't had a bad relationship at some point. I'm more inclined to feel sympathy to someone who is out of one trying to get their shit together than someone who keeps plugging away at one that obviously isn't working and wondering why their life sucks. Jesus Christ dude.

Talisman there is a thread for the bickering man. lets get it out of here

Wish I had a junker car or something to help out.

If the Mom is not working, sounds like that girl may not have a good christmas.
Leah, you up for taking donations to at least give the girl a somewhat decent Christmas and maybe some extra money left over to help the mom out?

I'm always up for helping. :-) I would love to be able to give her a good Christmas!

I recommend that you contact Ms. Tillie Burgin at Mission Arlington. They have all kinds of resources. Let me know if you need her information.

I will pass it on to her, thanks!

Great idea, Ted! I will definitely do this!

[Buick355]

Maybe contact some charities or start a collection to get her a cheap beater car. Maybe even contact some of the car dealers that post/advertise on this site to donate or sell at cost a beater trade in. Also getting her mom's resume and doing some networking might help to try and get her a job. I'd be willing to help any way I can for the kiddo.

And can we ban Cannon for being a piece of shit?

If we did that we'd have three members left sitting around holding hands and talking about Jesus with each other.

I mean piece of shit by OUR standards, not the world outside of DFWM standards, LOL.

I'd donate my Expedition, but it has a blown headgasket, so it's going to Dallas Can. I'm still a month or two from letting it go as well.

[1carcrazyguy]

Don't have a car to donate. But if Christmas is not looking so good for the child let me know a couple of weeks before. We will make sure she has a few gifts.

[Grape]

i will pay her to vacum my house in a cheerleader outfit.........

She-ra's coming back?

[Leah]

Thanks for all the suggestions and offers for help, guys! I will definitely be passing on the helpful info to her. As far as Christmas goes, She is 14 and in 8th grade. I don't have a clue as to what she's into, although today we were talking about food and she was talking about how she is still on a low-bacteria diet and she can't wait to be able to eat Sushi again-that's what she misses the most.

I know she doesn't have many clothes and since she's lost her hair, she's pretty self-conscious about going back to school in January. Just some ideas.
