Thank you. GOD BLESS.

Dear Mr. Obama, Mr. President,
Yes you have a great amount of catching up to do. And we the people have great concerns: what is in all of our best interest, and the planet's well-being. Not wars that are life-destroying for both men and women

Necesitamos ayuda. Apoyenos por favor. Pues nosotros vivimos en muy malas condiciones. Muchas gracias por escucharnos.

My husband and I just lost our home. I had become disabled after a fourth back surgery and was not able to return to work. My husband was downsized. I went to the section 8 department and was told the waiting list is ten years and they are not accepting any applications. I went to social services and was told we were not eligible because I made about $100 over the limit.
We live in SILICON VALLEY and $1100 a month does not cut it! California is being left by the wayside. Take a good look around and see the suffering of those that followed the rules (went to school, went to work, and paid taxes). And also take a look at all the immigrants that are here and receiving the resources we put our hard earned money into. Take a look at your average person.
Mildred Rodriguez, Gilroy, CA
I need housing really bad. I have been in the streets for years and I need a decent place to live. Thank you.

I have been waiting for my housing for more than ten years. They sent my first voucher to my old address, so I had to reapply. I am still in the process of waiting for my voucher. Please help out the housing situation. I feel you are a great president and have made so many changes for our country. We are all blessed.
God bless you. Thank you.
Love, Elvia R.
