My name is Erma Mcneary I have three grandchildren, the state of Texas moved the children out of their home because of abuse, the youngest child was shaken, and it left him blind, and brain damaged. My situation is not unique, there are many grandmother's in the sasme situation, having to take on the responsinility of rasing their grand kid's, due to abuse. These children have special need's, I was told about an organozation called Angel Network, sponsored by Neil McCoy. I was told they would help me get a van, with a lift , and that they would help with utilities, 10.000 a year is what i was told they would allow per year, to help me with the baby. When the application went in I was told they would help me with a lift , I thought it was a mistake, so I called and asked if there could have been a mistake, " No there was no mistake you get a van, and we will help witha lift ". I work as a nurse aid, and I would never be able to afford a van to make the time GOd gave my grandson comfortable, as far as transporting him. The money Would have allowed me to devote all of my time to my grand children, to make sure they have the love, and attention they need to become productive citizen. These kind of organizations help certain people I want to form an organization to help all the grandmother's in this situitation , The children and the grandmother's need this type of help to help. I know I need a Tax number, and I'm working on that , what I need from you is to know if you would sponsor me in my effort, to help these grandmother's with special need's grandchildren. thank you oprah.
Sincerely, Erma j Mcneary.
