Help me to help others

Hi! My name is Selma Matos, divorced, entrepreneur, English teacher and also painter. I have lived abroad for 15 years, where I used to give private English classes for kids and adults and also had an Art business, then came back to Brazil in 2019 and started to build my two on line businesses only by myself and God's help. I'm currently struggling to make my 2 startups to work and not allow any sort of pessimism to get in my way to make me give up on my projects! One of the business is an English Course on Line Platform and the other one is an On Line Clothing Shop, for both of them I need to rent an office, invest in advertisements, materials and employees to help me. I have recently launched on Hotmart my first e-book: Seven Steps to get Fluent in English. I'm from a small city from São Paulo state, but I'm currently living in Fortaleza, specially to keep up going with my projects.

As the businesses start picking up, I also will start a project to help people from the streets, a lot of them lost their documents, food and roof. I really feel sorry for them and I feel that I need to do something to help them. Lot of them are on the streets because lost their jobs and houses, and after Covid the number has increased. I would have a rehabilitation centre, where they can ask for help, relearn how to work and make their own money, instead staying on the streets begging for food and money.I want to help them getting back to the society again and have dignity that everyone deserves. Remember that Jesus was always helping them, if we don't do it, who will? You can help me to make my dreams come true and consequently help other Brazilians to have a chance to get a position work in my company as I'm confidant it will grow bigger and bigger, I'm working hard for that!

From Guivedem Facebook:

Today I went to take breakfast to that gentleman and asked his name. His name is Antonio. My grandma's name. I imagined my grandpa or grandma sleeping in those conditions. But you know today I stopped to chat with him, and asked the same questions I asked the other day, and he answered the same way... There's a lawyer who's taking care of his documents, probably this lawyer was touched by God to help Sr. Antonio. I really hope this story he's telling is true, because it's too dangerous for him to sleep there. He said that this week the lawyer will bring his documents and he will be able to return home, because he will have his retirement and also access to the basic basket. Unfortunately, Sr. Antônio is another one of so many in Brazil who are in the strip of misery and risk situation.I asked again about his family and he said he lives with his son, and that his son comes to see him there from time to time... And that there's also a niece who lives nearby. So I said: Sr Antonio, why don't you stay in her house? He said he doesn't want to bother. And I said: But sleeping here is dangerous, you know there are many bad people in this world and there are people that set fire on people who sleep on the streets. He said: I know, but I'm good, I don't hurt anyone. So I told him always pray to God, because he is sending help to you and God can do anything for you. He said he always prays. I then asked to pray for him, asked God to remove him from there, bring his documents asap, because no one can live like this, in a subhuman conditions. Prayed in Jesus name. The Bible says our Lord watches over those who seek Him. Can you pray this week for your Antony? Are we going to ask God to rise up and have a more digna life? God is sending people to help you! You can help him through prayers, these prayers made with real interest and compassion reach the throne of God. May God have mercy on Sr Antonio and may the angels protect him.

This post above is from November 1/ 2021 and today is December 14/2021, unfortunately Sr. Antonio is still sleeping under the tree, someone has taken his bed and now he is sleeping in a piece of wood. May God have mercy on him and all people that are suffering in such living conditions.

I thank you very much in advance as I know I will have the help I need for, and I will be showing here all my projects and progress!
