Please Help!!!

Thanks for taking the time to read this message! This is about a lady that gave all she could to everyone, including me. Her name is Wendy.

        When I was young she became my foster mother after my real mother had abandon me. Never having any kids of her own she became a foster parent. That I got to be in her care was probably the best thing that had ever happened to me. She had other foster children and even ended up taking care of many of the neighborhood kids.

        Wendy is a lady that just never gave up and always gave more than anyone could imagine. I no longer think of my real mother as mother but rather Wendy as my only true mother. I know that I'm not the only one that thinks that way either. It wasn't just kids that she helped it included the elderly, the disabled and the just down and out. What it takes to qualify for a saint is something I never found out, but I know it can't be more than the things I saw this lady do for anybody. Even people that had wronged her could find themselves looking up at her while she helped them when they were down.

        I'm 26 now and many of the things I'm telling you I never really realized until now. Since I was a kid she has helped me with everything from recovering from my mistakes to just being there to say "You can do it... It'll be okay." I've never been able to make a good attempt at trying to repay her for all she's done for me and I'm not alone. Many people just have taken for granted the things she's done for them.

        I know by now you're asking yourself why I've posted this letter. Well, to be honest and straight with you it's because I would like your help. If there's one thing that I've learned from Wendy it's that, "We are our neighbors keepers." You know the golden rule, "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you." Anyway now Wendy is an older lady that is disabled and can't do as much as she used to. With the disability sometimes expenses can be too much. I now live in Arkansas and can't be of much help. With no real family I'd like to do something to try to repay all she done for me and many others.

         That's were you come in. See if you can think back to someone that helped you no matter how big or small. Maybe it's someone you can't even remember or have lost touch with. For that moment picture Wendy and say, "I'd like to repay that kindness." I wish you would sit down and write a small note saying "Thanks for being the generous person that you have been!" If you could include something to help out. Maybe it's a five dollar bill, a book of stamps, even a dollar. Oh and would you also tell her the Steffin sends his love. Her birthday is next month on the 27th and I'm hoping I can make this own a very memorable one.

        Thanks for reading and if you choose to help God pless you. Her address is
