On My Own Over Christmas

On My Own Over Christmas

need help call now

I have been on my own over the Christmas period. Since it was Christmas, my counselor wasn’t working so I was on my own for a whole week.  I was in desperate need of a reason to live. The HopeCoach I talked to, calmed me down and helped me find the Lord again. We said a prayer together and the HopeCoach spent all night with me from 9 at night until 6:57 in the morning. No other help line does this, so…THANK YOU!  And thank you so much for saving me!

    Never give up. I got a dog. Her name is pearl and she loves everyone. I too have been alone all my life. It stinks and its not easy. We seek just to have a friend or in my case a gf to hold hands with. God is always there beside you holding your hand. If that isnt enough go to a shelter and find a dog or cat that needs you even more.
