Jeanine is one the most loving giving people who opens her home to many
teens. She feeds them, listens to their stories, and often gives them a
place to stay. She asks nothing in return from them except that they
respect the house.

A year and a half ago Jeanine had double cataract surgery and now is in
the process of losing her vision due to corneal dystrophy. She has no
income except ssi and sdi which only pay a bare minimum and consequently
she his many months behind on her house payment and now her car is
giving her trouble. Jeanine cannot drive of course because of her vision,
but she has two teens that are licensed and friends that will drive for
her when the teens are not available to drive.

Jeanie as we call her has the most lovin and forgiving nature about her
and will do with out to provide for someone else.

Please consider her for a new car.

Thank you and God Bless,

Hello, 
My name is James and my wife's name is Tracy. We have two kids, a boy 
that is 1yr. old and a girl that is 4yrs. old. We are currently having 
to ride a bike around and we only have one bike. The kids need to get to 
their doctor check-ups and me and my wife need to get to work. It is 
very hard trying to do all of this on one bike but we are trying our best 
to make it possible but it is just to hard. If we got a vehicle it 
would just make our life a whole lot easier. We would be able to take our 
kids to the doctor and me and my wife would be able to find work a lot 
easier too. We have been looking for a car to buy but with our limited 
income, we can't seem to find a car that is the right price for us. If 
there is any way possible that you can help us, please reply back. 
It would be greatly appreciated. Thank You and God bless.

Missoula,

Hi, My name is Mike. My wife, Kayla, and I recently moved to
Missoula, MT from a small town in Oregon with our three kids, ages 3, 2,
and 6 mo.  We moved here not knowing a single person, but everything
seemed to fall into place, that is, until our van started running really
bad.  I'm not sure whats wrong with it.  It's a 1995 Ford Aerostar, and
now in the winter months, it's hard to take my family to church because
the heater in the van doesn't even work, it just blows cold air.  The
van cannot be driven for more than five minutes before it overheats.  It
chugs and stalls, and sometimes won't even start.  We are in debt, and
cannot seem to dig ourselves out, we are trying.  My wife does not
work, she stays home with the kids, and we rely solely on my income to pay
all of the bills, and try to get out of debt.  No one will touch us in
financing a car or another van, so we are stuck.  By the time we save
enough money to buy a car, the one we have will be long in the grave.

 We are desperately in need of something reliable, and do not know
what to do.  Is there any way you could help us out?  Please do what
you can for us in this holiday season.   
 
                      Sincerely Yours,

My daughter and her boyfriend were displaced as a result of Hurricane
Rita.  Both of their jobs were underwater and they were not able to get
home because her car did not make it through the hurricane and she had
to leave it behind when she came back to Montana to live.  Her
boyfriend's dad drove all the way down there to pick them up, even with all of
his health problems, and they now have an apartment to live in with the
help of The Montana Commerce.  The problem is that they cannot get a
job because they have no way to get there.  They are applying at all of
the closest places to work, but here in Montana, the closest place isn't
just around the block.  The closest place to work for them is at least
a mile away and, even then, it just depends on whether or not they're
looking for help.  Anyway, she is getting some help from unemployment
and a few food stamps, but she really needs a vehicle to get back and
forth to work.  She can't even apply for a loan to purchase a vehicl
 e, even a cheap vehicle, until she's had a job for at least two
months, so you can see where the dilemma lies.  It's very frustrating! 
Please, if there's anything you can do for her, it would be greatly
appreciated. 

Thank you for your time,

Norma
