Lately life hasn’t gone my way…

It’s been months now and I feel so depressed. A lot of things have happened. I am an 18 year old male whose life hasn’t been very easy. Currently, I need to get surgery to repair my left arm but I’m afraid I will soon age out of the system to get cheap and affordable health care. Second, I need braces for my teeth because they have been causing me a lot of pain because of the way it grew out. My parents have been divorced since I was 14 years old and they have not been very supportive physically and emotionally. Due to the violent background of my family, I had a family counselor who was able to support me while I was growing up but because of the state of the economy my health plan no longer pays for her services so I lost a big part of my emotionally/informative support. My father(unemployed), who I do not live with, promised me he would help with the cost of the oral braces when I had a consultation but now he tells me he cannot help me because my grandmother business is failing. With all these expenses and problems, I just don’t know where to turn to. This fall, I will have to bus 300 miles up north to University of Merced for my college education. I live in a low-income where we barely make enough for our basic necessities. Sometimes I feel like I have no where to turn to as though the world wants me dead. I am afraid I will not be able to fix my arm which causes me severe pain and my teeth. I live in the L.A. area. Will someone find me a solution to my misfortune… This is a cry for help.

hey…. i care. and i know what you’re going thru cuz i’ve been there. i understand the emptiness, depression and the loneliness.
i believe that there’s a hole in every man’s heart that only christ can fill. i was so empty, disoriented and confused (tho everything looks fine on the outside) 2 years ago until i met god. when that happened, everything just became make sense, on why on earth you’re here on earth, on why you were created, etc. and you’ll find a purpose in relationship with the loving father. what you need is jesus’ love to fill you up like a coke in a desert… it’s not an empty promise. it’s something real and it’s the truth that will make you free. he’ll help.
there is hope. dont give up. there is hope. god listens

I will be praying for you, but don’t give up, you are still so young and have so much to look forward to. Braces are expensive, this i do know. My 14 year old daughter was teased for so long because we could not afford them. I do know that there is something called western dental in california, and that is who we went through. The cost of her braces went from 4500 from a regular dentist to 1200 there, we just waited till we had the 400 to put down and then made payments to them of 85 dollars a month. They are great and work with all sorts of insurances or not as well as income circumstances. Try them. God bless.
