I am a mature woman who within the last 6 months lost my job. Because of my age I'm having a tough time trying to find another one. I have never done anything like this before, I barely know how to ask anyone for any thing. Since the loss of my job, I've lost my home and most of my belongings. A friend of mine took me in but its not a good situation. I have 3 pets that I love dearly who have been there through thick and thin, they are my family (1dog 15yrs,cat 16yrs, cat adopted from hurricane katrina about 5yrs).Anyway it poses a big housing problem for me. What I really need is a roof over my head. If any one knows of a job in the Grand Rapids,Mi area that will hire a 51 year old woman, I'd apreciate it. I do in house home care,housekeeping,nanny,pets, etc. I can live-in or out. I have many years experience working with elderly (private duty). I am very good at what I do. I will even consider relocating if its a live-in position. I also am in desparate need of warm clothes,tops (lrg) pants, jeans, (14) boots ( 7 ) . I don't have even a winter coat (L). I am even having a hard time keeping my babies, (pets) in food. They all eat cat food even the dog.I've worked hard all my life. I'm not looking for a handout, I just need a little help till I can get back on my feet again.Thank You for reading this, merry xmas!!! Lynne
