November 21, 2008

Hello,
Please read this all the way to the end, it is not a hoax it is the honest truth. I am asking for some help from my fellow Americans. I am a 52 year old army wife, my husband just got back from doing 15 months in Iraq, his 7th time overseas in 22 years of military service.
When he left to go to Iraq this time I worried every day that he would not come home, I thank the Lord every day that he did. We were planning for the time he would come home and he could finally retire with 22 years of service, then what we would do to survive after retirement. We had planned to have all of our bills paid in full, and some money in the bank, for retirement. Thanks to the Rich Dad Organization, that is not what has happened. I wanted to find something that we could make a living at after retirement. I went to a “Free” seminar, which sold me a 3 day seminar for $595. Yes I am the one that made the ultimate decision to pay for and attend these seminars. But I was lead to believe that I would have my money back in abundance. At the 3 day seminar I was sold another $24,000.00 course, which I was sold on the idea that anyone could do all you had to do was attend the classes apply the application and with one deal you would pay for your full course cost up to this point and then the money would just start rolling in. I was so excited that when my hero came home from war for the last time that I would already have something in place that would provide us both a way to work together and to live the balance of our life together.
I took the full courses and applied the principles, bought a small house, which in the end put us $40,000. More in credit card debt. I am not saying anyone other than myself is to blame for our financial condition. I was a sucker, naive not aware that there were ways out there to really get you in financial duress. But by no means does my husband deserve to come home to this situation. This situation has made me physically ill every day. I am a nervous wreck, to the point of vomiting, diarrhea, shaking so badly that I am having someone else type this for me.
The only thing I can come up with to solve our situation is to ask my fellow Americans to show a little sympathy and donate just one dollar $1.00 to our situation. Will one dollar make or break you, no me either, but if we will band together and help one another collectively we can help each other. I am going to keep a list of everyone who donates and I will pay them back even if it takes me 10 years. You will get your dollar back. One dollar for a soldier to live a life after war. I have made the mistakes and I will never make them again. But I need your help for my husband to be able to retire, please don’t let him suffer because of $1. With God as my witness, I will pay everyone back who donates to our cause.
We are not a big car company asking for a bail out we are but one family in a multitude needing help, I am the person that gives to the needy all and more than I can afford. But I know that the American people still have faith and that we can ban together to help one another. Once my needs are met I will pay everyone back that donates. If you do not want to be paid back your dollar I will donate your pay back to the Wounded Warriors fund. Just state it on the bottom of your check, on the memo. I am not looking to get anything for free; I just cannot get out of this without your help. So Please, Please donate your $1 to a just cause. Thank you for your time and generosity. Please forward to everyone in your address book , you never know who will help. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Army wife, Linda
