I place this matter in Your hands, trusting in the power of prayer to inspire truth, justice, and peace. Thank you for your prayers and blessings in this matter. With gratitude,
I’m Ashley. My mum Glenda has too many ESL classes, ...She is mentally ill and has been worse for months. ..... when or if my dad Al gets surgery and time after it (hoping for late May or early June). Hope most paper plates I bought, Monday, get used and not end up on the floor. Tru** needs to be stopped (peacefully as possible) and forced to retire and send him to a place for elders that have mental health issues, as Tru** has issues with his mind; more importantly stop his threats especially threatening Pope Leo with death and with Iran. Hope that China, Russia, and Iran don’t harm the United States and Canada....

...We are burdened with an immense amount of debt at home; our house has even been pledged to the bank. We currently have no means to pay the EMIs; we have already defaulted on four installments and owe a total of ₹70,000.
