The Family I sponsor in Uganda

This is the family ( Grandmother & Grandson- two of the family members at least) That I sponsor in Uganda. They sent me a letter greeting me thanking me for the help that I have given them over the year. They advised me of how there life has been improved though the assistance of GFR. Also they were touched by the fact that I came and visited them in person.

The Lady of My Dreams-She is so Beautiful!

I am planning on going back to Uganda to marry Ruth and bring her back to the US to live with me. I have to finance this first. As everyone knows, we have been experiencing an economic meltdown in the US of unprecedented stature (since the 1930's) due to our insistence on adhering to very bad economic policy over the last couple of decades. But especially bad economic policy over the last eight years (Supply side economics, off shoring of high paying jobs...Generally a blind spot philosophy that many have- A disconnect that workers are also consumers, in a consumer driven economy) Basically we are adopting the Wal-Mart philosophy and we are becoming the "Wal-Mart nation". (So that's the shining city on the hill that "the Gipper" once spoke of! Thanks Gip!)

That understood,(I'm sorry, but if you fail to understand that I have a "sandwich" waiting for you!) I myself have been victim of the forces of greed forces that even to this day are still threatening our standard of living!

However, I have a sizable amount of money coming my way due to an illegal act by one of my former employers. I have had the bad luck of being entangled with some very bad employers over time.
