Helper needs help

Hello, I'm Shawn. I am a 28 year old wife, mother, minister and outreach ministry director. My husband and I have 6 children, 3 stay with us full time. The Lord has truly done great things in the life of my family. We have had a lion's share of upsets and heartaches over the last few years. Over the past 2 years, we have been homeless living in a motel for over a year. We have seen death strike our family more than once. Our church family abandoned us because their doctrine didn't support me accepting the call of ministry as a woman. This, I think this hit me the hardest. The Lord showed his mighty hand when he blessed us with the a place of our own a year ago. It was through this testimony we started Esther Ministries, our outreach ministry. It was in the heart of these trials that the Lord told me, "If you take care of mine, I'll take care of yours." From that moment forward, we started to look for those who had needs that we could assist with. In no time at all, we were overwhelmingly aware of the needs in our community. Our client base has started to outweigh our resources. It is just me and my husband trying to get Esther Ministries off the ground with few resources and a desire to call people to Christ by meeting others at their level of need. We have been so excited about the things that the Lord has done in the lives of the people we service. The start of this year came in with the force of a NFL quarterback. I was informed that I might have cancer. I fell and injured my knee on a new job to find out that they didn't have worker's comp. We were broad-sided with a miscarriage. All of these things have come with a hefty price tag. With all of this we have fallen behind on our rent and utilities. With childcare so high, no car and now my knee injury, my husband's waiter income can't seem to get a handle on our bills and we are in need of a financial blessing. I know the Lord has already molding this situation for his glory and I am so blessedly excited to see it. When the Lord is getting ready to manifest something in our lives, he sends a person and a word. He sent the word and it is faithful. If the Lord put it on your heart, can you be that person.
