Suena W, 43, has been out of work for nearly two years. With no savings left, and an impending eviction after years of struggling, she didn't see any other way than to take the sleeping pills and rum. She planned to take the pills when the sheriff put the three-day eviction on the door.

      My desire is to help her see there are miracles with her name written on them, like there can be for all of us, and for her to find hope again, as I have. I decided I would do whatever I could through our Angel Helper foundation to garner the funds to retire her back rent and some ahead, along with generating as much attention as possible to attract employment.
