Yesterday was a productive day....
0 commentsAmanda said that her kids are coming here to Houston from Dallas. I don't know how they are going to get here but they are going to figure out a way! They all have lived together their whole lives and they want to be together. I have a really good job lead for Jerry where a friend of mine's husband works. Her husband is getting the details and getting back to me. We may have to get Jerry down there in person to fill out the application next week. The job provides transportation, too!
I told Amanda to ask a woman she had been helping if she needed anything. Amanda called me to ask me if she could give her my phone number. Her name is Rhonda. She called me last night. She is alone, pregnant with her 2 year old and 5 year old here in Houston. Apparently, the daddy said he didn't want to be with her anymore and LEFT HER AT THE ASTRODOME! She was one of the people trapped in the LA Superdome and was in there with all the horrors that went on in there. She is staying with a woman on Wilcrest now that is giving her a place to stay for a little while. She is there by herself most of the time because the woman works and goes to school at night. She tearfully asked me if I would help her find her other 2 daughters, ages 13 and 18. I was able to to find them in El Paso and found her mother somewhere outside of Dallas. I gave her the numbers to call. That poor woman was in anguish and it was a simple thing for me to do. By the end of the night I was able to track down a internet post that put her in touch with the rest of her family. She has 14 brothers and sisters, one being her twin sister! It looks like all but one sister has been accounted for.
