I was on my second tour in Iraq as a DoD Contractor. When news of my youngest daughter medical condition came about and wasn't looking good, then my wife talking to me about the stresses in dealing with all the medical appointments and treatments along with the needs of my 2 other children was putting a strain on her and needed me to come home. I knew my wife and family needed me home so I left Iraq and returned home not knowing what I would do for work. It has been hard finding a job that will meet our needs along with the time needed at home. I came home in May 2006 and we lived on our savings. Our savings are gone and I was able to find a job working nights allowing me to be home in the day. I started this job the beginning of Aug but while in training my first few checks will be small and I wont be getting normal checks till Sept. Till then we have bills that I just don't know what to do. Our church and family has helped us as much as the could and I bless God for the help they where able to give, but needs still remain until we fully get back on our feet. We still have bills from July that are unpaid along with Aug. These bills do not include medical bills which are beyond what I can think. My youngest daughter is having surgery on Aug.11th and my wife is really worried about it, I believe that the Lord will take care of her, and I place her in the Lords hands. Thank you for whatever help and prayers you can give to us.
