Buy a lipstick and change a life……

My name is Linni and on the surface if you saw me in a coffee shop or in the queue at the supermarket you would think we are alike, I’m a mum and a grandmother – but I’m not like you I’m homeless and living day by day with my life in suitcases hoping that some kind soul pays my motel room bill or lends me a sofa to sleep on.

You can read how my life turned on a dime in this blog but before all this happened I used to sell Mary Kay cosmetics and I need to rebuild my life so instead of asking for hand outs or pity can you spare me the price of your daily Starbuck $3.95 unless you have the one with all the bits at $5.00 I could be then selling Mary Kay.

I need $50.00 to get my account started and then I can sell my way out of this situation I can change my life and that of my children- due to very bad health I can’t get a normal job so I am trying to work my way out of this desperate situation.

That $50.00 can give me and my children long term security and give me a way of earning my living and a lipstick will put a smile on everyone's face.

My life in Lancaster

In 2006, my 2 younger children moved to Lancaster PA.

 God had guided us there, and I knew NO ONE there.. I started working at Target in the Pizza Hut area, and also helped out in the Starbucks part.. I loved my job, loved the customers that came in. 


 2 months after starting there, I got a job at Sight and Sound Ministeries also working part time.. 

I had the 2 jobs, and a one bedroom place for the 3 of us.. I LOVED my job at Sight and Sound! 
It is a live Christian theater, and how wonderful it was to see others come to Christ after seeing a show!


 I put in for a full time position, and a month later, was hired in full time at Sight and Sound, and I left target. 
I worked in the concessions and in the merchandise department and LOVED it! 


I made some life long friendships, and am totally blessed!


 We moved to Strasburg, which is a little burro, and is totally beautiful! My children were in great schools, and had some great friends! 


 Then in 2009, June to be exact, I recieved a call from my sister, and she told me she had went to moms Dr appointment with her, and the Dr said there was nothing more he could do for her.. At that moment, I told God I wasn't moving back to MI, because I had a great Church, the kids were in great schools, and we had a nice home!


 Well I realized that it doesnt matter if something is good or bad, if its in the way of what God wants to do, He gets rid of it! I lost my job a month later!
