Subject: giving up

please pray for my family as we are in need at this time.
I am a wife of 7 years. Mother of two. Our Little Angel girl is 6 years old and going to be in the 1st grade next month. Our Angel boy is 4 years old and Blind and Autistic. he goes to school all year around.My husband works for the county sheriff department in town and is a very hard worker loving husband and father. I am disable and a stay at home mother. My husband gets paid sallery and if he works over time he just gets comptime( a day off for what he worked not money) He has over 4 weeks he can take off but due to not having enough officers he works all the time.He loves his Job and Feels Blessed God has gave him the honor of being a Law Enforcement officer. law Enforcement is under paid and over worked to say the least . I need prayers that my husband knows exactly how much we love him and are very thankful he is such a hard worker..My daugther often feels left out and unloved because people seem to forget we have a little girl once they hear about our little man. They pay all attention to our little man and forget she is there. We give Both children equal attention. I love my children more then life its self. They are my angels. I could tell them I love them every second of my life and it not be enough. I fear I am a failure as a mother and human. I feel I am failing God. My daugther dont have any clothing that fits her and I am unable to get her any before school . and dont know when I will beable to get her some.our son also is in need of clothing but not as bad as our daughter. She dont even have a pair of pants I can send her in the first day of school.. I am in fear she will be made fun of for not having clothing. I dont want my little girl depressed. I dont know what to do. We have went to the state for help and was turned down because he has a job . they can not count how much it cost to raise a disable child. They have to go by the guide lines for a family of 4. Even though it is like raising 4 children cost wise raising our son. I dont know how we are going to be able to get school supplies as well. I am lost and dont know what to do. I have called salvation Army and went to pray at church and ask for help. Noone has any funds to help. I have tried to look on ebay but i simply just cant afforid it.Due to me being raised in foster care and moved around ALL the time I dont have any family to call and ask. I have prayed and layed my heart to God and Prayed someone will open there heart and help our family. I will give my Wedding ring to anyone that is willing to help me with school suplies and clothing for the kids. I am willing to give my doll collection as well. God has blessed me and gave me a way to have a computer ( took yearsss of saving and then we baught it from a friend for very cheap) this is my only way to the outside world forsay Because i am Always home with the kids and it is hard to take little man out. My children are also in need of quilts for there beds( girl twin size and boy full size due to him rolling off bed he has to have bigger bed) I dont know if we will beable to give the kids gifts this year for Christmas or not. I am sure we wont beable to . But Our kiddies understand the real meaning of christmas and understand if were not able to get them anything. I was not going to ask for help until my daugther came to me crying today because her little friend across the street just got a lot of school clothing and such and she asked me why we are not planning for School.I tried my best to explain it to her but she is only 6 years old.She said she is going to be made fun of at school because she dont have anything nice. She does have a few dresses but litterly zero pants. Please pray someone Opens there heart to my family.. Also please pray I am able to get past my nightmares. I have been molisted and rapped a number of times and I find it very hard to sleep at night because of it. If someone is willing to help me with clothing I can pay them back a small amount every month until it is paid off. I have had a very rough life but God has carried me threw it this far. I pray I dont give up which is what I feel like doing. Please also Pray for all the children in the world right now that are sad and hungry and homeless. Please pray for understanding . Please pray God opens my sons eyes. Thank you so very much for your prayers! I cant tell you how much it means to me. I pray I have not offened anyone for asking for help or prayers. I prayed to God to give me a answer and then seen online prayers. Here are the kids sizes if you can help
Boy 4t and shoes 8 and half needs socks badly as well. He is not able to be potty trained at this time and is still in diapers as well. ( 30 pounds)
Girl size 6x and shoes 13 and half .in need of socks as well and pants and shirts very very badly.
I have pledged my life to God and know some how some where He will answer my prayers. Thank you for your time. I am sorry this was so long. I am really emoctional as I write this. I dont want anyone to think I want something for nothing. I will give you my wedding rind and dolls if it helps my children. I may beable to buy one outfit for the children before school but it would litterly be all my little girl has (boy really just needs shoes and pants and a shirts but he has some clothing he dont have anything if it gets cold)

p.s this is not a scam but a mother putting her pride and heart on the line. if you need proof of what i said please ask and I will give you all the proof you need. Also please Pray that i am able to learn the things I need to so I am able to raise my son and teach him the things he needs to be taught. Please pray I am able to read better because I get embarassed when I cant read books to my daughter. unfortanally in this world today there is not many services for parents of disable children. I do get ssi but it dont nearly cover the extra cost. I am more then Greatful God has given us that much.
