Oprah, I am 69 and I've written my autobiography and I need help getting it...

[Frances]

...published. Can you help me? My name is Frances Ipock and I lost my husband of 52 years and I don't want to leave this earth without leaving something more to my three children that God blessed me with. You see I had polio at four months old and I wasn't supposed to have any because it might paralize me for life. That was not God's plan. Now finances are very hard because I need to pay for our headstones at the cemetry and pay for my book to get published not only I've tried two publishing companies and find they are a scam. I've been in a wheelchair since 1998 when I was hit head on by a nissan truck and crushed my left leg. They saved my leg. I don't have enough space to tell you of my challenges I've had. But now my son and his wife want me to move in with them because they are afraid I will fall by myself and noone to help me but their double wide has to be modified for me to get around. The doorways are two small for my wheel-chair to go thru. This is why I wanted to get maybe some money for my life story. God blessed me with talents of drawing, painting, singing, writing songs and now I'm writing a christmas play for our church. I was a telephone operator for 18 years and a care-giver at a daycare for 15 years before my husband's kidneys shut down and I had to stay home to take care of him for one and a half years. My heart hurts today very badly of losing my sweetheart. Please at least answer me even if you can't help me. I've written the governor and our congressman asking for help to getting in and out of my car. I drive with handcontrols and I use a transfer board to get in and out of my car, but I can't put my chair in my trunk or take it out and independant living said I made three hundred dollars too much. I'm sorry but when my soulmate died so did his money. So now I'm baby sitting for two after-schoolers to try making up for a little of it. Looking forward to hearing from you. Please.
