One of my daughters’ health is fading fast as she has heart problems, and one of my sons does as well. We have one child suffering from mental illness, which throws her into rages of fits and creates a certain unbalance within the family.
My fiancé is Roswell’s own city councilman’s son, Mark, and I am Marcella. We were living here running a small business, raising one of our grandchildren, when 3 of our children found themselves down on their luck with their families. Facing homelessness, all three kids with their families came home, and now we have grown to become a family of 18 living at in Roswell, NM 88201.
Thank God the house we live in is a decent size and able to make room for all to fit. Still, you can imagine the financial strain that we face with utilities, food, personals, clothes, dishes that continue to get broken and need replacing, gas to look for work, and just day-to-day responsibilities.
Luckily we have a very large piece of property over on Sunset, and the plan is to build 4 adobe-style homes for all family members to have a place to live. This takes time, money, labor, and resources that, quite frankly, we do not have.
We are struggling to keep our heads above water and need assistance terribly for the holidays and, to be honest, in every way you can imagine. If by chance your organization would be willing to help us, it would be greatly appreciated.
