My name is Kristania Vielot, I am 19 years old and I attend Valencia Community college. Lately my family has been going through some really tough times. My little sister (Aarlene, 10) and I, are raised by a single mother (Caroline, 42) who can not seem to get a break. We have to fight (mentally) for everything that we have. July of 2007 we were given the opportunity to move into our first home that was a rent to own. We saw this as the light at the end of the tunnel. We kept up our end of the deal by paying rent on time, and paying for the pool. On Wednesday November 26, 2008, we were told that we had one week to move from the house because the owner was a crook and did not pay the mortgage.
My mom has been struggling from the time I was young. She works so hard and puts everyone’s needs before her own. No matter how much or how little we have she gives everyone her all. She used to be a nurse and worked in the AID’S unit during the time that people knew little to nothing about the virus. She was well informed about the risks, but still did the job because she loves everybody and does not discriminate. We do believe in God and we know that he is capable of creating miracles. I believe that the Lord has sent you to help change lives for the better. I love my mom so much, that its hard to see her cry and beg God to take away all of the pain in her heart. I understand that everyone wants your help and I understand that it is hard.
I just pray every night that the Lord will help us to live the life that we’ve always wanted. We do not want an outrageous house with fancy cars, all we would like to have is a home to call our own and enough money to be financially happy. My mom has a series of health issues related to all of the constant stress. I am a college student that has eczema and dreams of being a fashion designer. I have had eczema since the age of two and have been struggling with it ever since. I have decided to start and foundation for Eczema research to help others like my self. My little sister attends school and receives very high honors in everything she does. My grandaunt who also lives with us, has only one leg and suffers from both heart and kidney problems.
Although we try to see the bright side of things, it gets harder when the odds seem to always be against us. We are very grounded individuals who have big dreams and even bigger hearts. I pray that you will read this email and find a place in your beautiful heart to spread the Lords blessings to my family. By blessing my family you will be helping us to help others beyond the imaginable. I thank you so very much and may the Lord continue to bless you and everything that you do.
Prayerfully,
Kristania Vielot

Hello.

First, I’d like to thank you for your good work and for being a source of inspiration to single mothers. Secondly, I’d like to introduce myself.

My name is Kelly Reno and I’m a screenwriter and filmmaker. I recently wrote and co-produced a five minute short film about a single mother. The film is called Mojave Philosophy and is now competing in an international film contest called The Doorpost Film Project.

Mojave Philosophy is film about a young, pregnant woman who is abandoned in the Mojave Desert by her boyfriend. Despite being single, penniless and young, she makes the decision to have her baby – a decision that becomes her saving grace. The film delivers a powerful and inspirational message about the joy of being a mother.

I’m writing to friends and allies to generate support for this inspirational film. Mojave Philosophy can be viewed online at http://www.thedoorpost.com/redemption/mojavephilosophy

If you like the film and want to share the link with your supporters, it would be greatly appreciated. Viewers can go online to watch the film and if they want to, can sign up as a reviewer and vote for the film. The more views and votes the film gets, the more people will be exposed to its inspirational message.

If you would like to talk to me or have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Kelly Reno
