My sincere request

Firstly I want to thank all the people who read this and wish them the best things of this world and please be comprensive with my gramar mistakes. What I am going to tell you is absolutely true and if I do this is because I have tried almost everything and the time is running against me and I desesperated, so forgive me and God forgives me if I offend anyone doing this.

I am a cuban woman, my name is Maria Esperanza Rodriguez, I am 58 years old, divorced and I have a daughter in Cuba, my only family is her and my mother who has 81 years old, they don’t know anything about my real situation and I don’t want to worry them because it is not fair and they really can do anything to help me, in this moment I am living in Ecuador, where I came a few months ago with the hope to improve my life and to help my family, but here things go wrong, I lost my work, I was assaulted and my identity documents were stolen, with all this situation I had troubles of hypertension and diabetes that cause me to expend my tiny budget paying 2 clinics and buying some pills and medicines that doctors prescribed me. At my age nobody wants to hire me, works are very hard to find even for young people and some good people helped me for a few weeks but they said me that no more because they have their problemas to solve and I understand that, actually only one person is helping me now and I apreciate his sincere help because he tol me to do this as last chance, to see what happens and I trust in God and his eternal love and goodness. I don’t know anything, absolutely anything, about internet, web pages, blogs or email, and my englisg knowledge is normal, I am doing this with the kind help of my friend, I am confident that if the purpose that moves me is noble and sincere, people can notice that. Believe me that I pray to God everyday to forgive me all my past mistakes and sins and to allow me to begin again my life and rejoin with my family, which is all I want.

My situation is very hard and complicated because I have only $ 7.25 in my purse, unemployment and completely illegal and the most difficult for me is that if I don’t enter to my country at least before 11 months and one day of stay out of my country (I have 9 months and a half) cuban authoritis confiscate my home and my tiny properties that cost me so much effort and sacrifice of years and it is the only legacy to my family, besides that cuban law says that I have to pay 40 dollars for each month I spent out of Cuba, a total of 400 dollars, and if I don’t pay that I can not enter to my country and lose residence in my birth country and lose my home, the cheapest fly ticket to Cuba from Ecuador costs 320 dollars and because I am illegal here since months ago I have to pay a fine of 200 dollars to ecuadorian migration police, if I don’t pay that I can not travel and besides all that the airport rate in quito is the highest of all America, 45 dollars. This is my reality. I don’t need people judging me, criticizing to me or asking me for reasons or questions about my situation or my personal behavior, please, I have more than enough with my own conscience, I just looking for good heart people who really understand my human condition and who want and can help me. I sincerely need 965 dollars to save my future, my home, rejoin with my family and begin again my life, please if you believe me help me, If you don’t or if you can not help me is OK, God bless you anyway and I wish you all the best of the world, I have been totally honest. If you can help me I sincerely appretiate your noble gesture even if you only can give me 40 cents, that would be really great for me, thank you all of you and God bless you in every day of your lives.

María E. Rodriguez

PS – I have not a phone because I can not afford it. I don’t have a digital photograph because it cost me 4.00 dollars and with that I can eat 4 days and in my current situation I need to save every cent. I don’t have a computer nor internet, I write these words from a public cyber cafe thanks to the help of a friend of mine. Of course, I don’t have a credit card or a bank account because I have not money. I can not receive money through Wester Junior or another cash agency because until now I have not a legal identification document and my immigration status is out of law. I created, or better said, my friend create me an email address and I did not know that it can help me so much and in my current situation is the cheapest way of comunication, my email is mariaesprodriguez@hotmail.com I must be honest with you, I don’t go to internet often because my main interest now is to look for a job and work and besides I should save every penny that I earn, so forgive me if my response delays a litle.

Please, if you really want to help me listen to your heart and your conscience and apply the rule of gold that Jesus taught us more than 2000 years ago in Mathew’s Gospel 7:12 “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.“

God bless you.
