Help Soldiers Mom

I am a Proud Army Mom!  My only child is getting married July 16, 2015. Jessica currently is in Afghanistan, her 3rd tour of duty.  She will return to the states weeks before her wedding day. As a parent (a single Mom, I never married) it should be my responsibility to pay for or at least help pay for my daughters wedding but I can't and I feel like a failure.  Due to "downsizing" in 2010 I lost my job and was out of work for 2-1/2 yrs.  No one wants to hire us folks who are now over the age of 55.  I am still struggling.  Pretty much lost everything. I no longer have credit to put expenses on.  I have a job that pays minimum wage, at the end of the month after paying the bills there is nothing left.  I am not able to afford the cost of airfare, lodging, and other travel related expenses to get myself to AZ where my daughter will be married. It is difficult to ask help but I am deperate.  I would be so grateful if you could please help me.  Please know that I will pay it forward by helping and volunteering in my community to help those who are struggling too.

Respectfully yours,

Marilyn
